Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2425 Forced Exit
For the cultivators present, Wenxian Zhenzun's words were not difficult to understand.

No one had heard of a similar situation, but the underlying cause and effect of Qu Jianlei and this aura was basically understood by everyone.

"If we take it all, what if this aura can protect Master Quling? Wouldn't that be a trap?"

"Don't accept it," Han Li said calmly. From the beginning, he hadn't lifted a finger, but had simply allowed his subordinates to do it.

However, this aura is inherently difficult to collect, and for a Nascent Soul cultivator to manipulate it, the speed is incomparable to that of an Out-of-Body cultivator.

Han Li didn't make a move, leading others to believe that he was quite wealthy and wouldn't care about such a small gain.

Qingkong Zhenzun was even wondering: Just how much benefit did this guy gain in the other world that he has such high standards?

But now, Han Li calmly stated, "This aura may have arisen out of necessity, or it may have arisen out of calamity... Let's stop."

He had suspected this for a while, but as he said before: Who the hell has ever seen this kind of out-of-body experience?

He was just guessing, so naturally he couldn't stop others from taking benefits—if his guess was wrong, this other world would really benefit.

Anyway, he would never take action. Although he is also very poor recently, a protector of the Dharma must have the awareness to protect the Dharma.

Everyone's gone to collect scents, who's going to keep watch? The hard work has to be done by someone.

But now, he can make demands of others with a clear conscience: I never laid a hand on anyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone could only reluctantly stop. Han Li was not only the person in charge, but what he said also made sense, and he had even put it into practice.

Even the Venerable Soaring Sky could only reluctantly control the butterflies to stop them from collecting energy.

Of course, he did not retrieve the butterflies either. Thousands upon thousands of butterflies fluttered around the ball of light, a wary posture.

He didn't need to go to such an extreme; he could summon butterflies at any time, at will.

But isn't this... stealing the protection of many minor tunes?
Although Han Li was only guessing and not very certain, the Great Protector had protected many people and knew that this was quite likely.

So making a gesture can be seen as an act of atonement, since he had previously judged that Xiao Qu couldn't absorb this energy.

His judgment was definitely correct. Even if Xiao Qu came out of seclusion now, at most she would just collect the energy together, not absorb it.

But his aura could protect Xiao Qu... Anyway, he didn't think of that at the time.

Regardless of what others may think, he cannot escape being labeled as "inconsiderate".

What angered him most was that the person who prevented him from continuing to absorb energy was the very person who had plotted against him, and he had also lost face!

This utter disgrace is something the Great Protector absolutely cannot tolerate!

He glanced at Han Li and coldly sent him a divine sense message, "Keep an eye on things for me... Damn it!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other party's reply. He took out the chessboard and began to seriously calculate.

He spent a full half hour calculating before putting away the chessboard, shaking his head in dejection, "This is... they have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves!"

Jin Ge, being the most impatient, asked, "Great Protector, have you deduced anything?"

"Hmph," Han Li snorted, "Isn't it because you're always careless and leave behind messes?"

"You..." Upon hearing this, True Venerable Qingkong almost lost his temper. You can't slap someone in the face like this!
But in the end, he still sighed, "That was all back when I was in the Nascent Soul stage. I was still young then, wasn't I?"

The Great Protector has descendants, and quite a few of them.

However, after he formed his nascent soul, he severed the causal link himself—he had too many descendants, and if he had any attachments, it would be too difficult for him to leave his body.

Even though he's at the Nascent Soul stage, he still has related needs, so... well, he's young, everyone understands.

As a result, his breath was intercepted by some damned person.

Moreover, this has been around for two or three thousand years. How did the mastermind behind it manage to preserve it?
Or rather, what the hell is it that I have a grudge against you that you would hold a grudge to this extent?

But what's done is done, and there's no point in dwelling on it.

Han Li was more concerned about, "Everyone knows these things, so what else did they divine?"

As everyone knows, Qingkong Zhenzun thought to himself sullenly: If you hadn't said it, then only you could have predicted it!
He shook his head helplessly. "No, it's all hazy. It's probably not just the obscuring effect of the acquired spiritual treasure."

He had already sensed that the other party was using a magical artifact to conceal the secrets of heaven, so he was particularly careful when performing divination.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to divine one's own karma. Even with the great protector's abilities, he could only divine that it was related to his own aura.

Han Li could vaguely sense this cause and effect beforehand, and could confirm it with a simple calculation.

However, this is not much different from the level of divination; the main problem is that Qingkong is not vigilant enough.

However, no matter how hard he tried to divine, he still couldn't figure out any other clues, something that acquired spiritual treasures couldn't do.

If it's a primordial spiritual treasure, then the problem is serious—there are only a handful of things that can conceal the secrets of heaven!

"Is that so?" Han Li frowned and took out his abacus as well. "Help me keep watch."

Unfortunately, he didn't divination yield many clues, but he confirmed one thing: "The calamity should arrive in about two days."

Meanwhile, the five warships had quietly come to a stop in the void, facing the mist of the main world.

A figure is silently entering the mist.

Jin Ge looked at the small dot in the ball of light and muttered softly, "How much longer?"

"I can't figure it out," Min Ning shook his head. Qing Kong and Han Li had just made their moves, and among the remaining people, he was the best at divination.

However, the karmic connection of Master Quling is indeed powerful, especially now that he has entered the Out-of-Body state. Even as he tries to calculate, he feels a pang of fear.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the small dot in the ball of light slowly disappeared under everyone's watchful eyes.

A phantom image emerged, growing larger and larger; it was none other than Qu Jianlei.

He sat cross-legged in the ball of light, his eyes slightly closed and his hands forming a mudra.

His figure grew taller and taller, and before long, he silently broke through the ball of light.

The seated figure only stopped slowly after its altitude exceeded two thousand kilometers, and then slowly shrank back.

“Tsk,” Qingkong Zhenzun shook his head and muttered softly, “Why do you…? We’re here.”

Han Li Zhenzun sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly, "Too competitive."

Bentley and Mu Guang couldn't understand their boss's current state, so they turned to look at Jin Ge beside them, but didn't dare to ask a question.

The Master shook his head. "It's alright. He's not afraid of being disturbed now. He's just entered and exited the body, so he can't control his state freely."

That's right, all five True Venerables present had experienced this state.

Logically, this ability to adapt to and control oneself should be initially completed in the cave, and then the realm should be stabilized for several years.

Once your cultivation level has stabilized somewhat, you can gradually emerge from seclusion and then carefully adjust your control over yourself.

This process will take at least 18 to 10 years to complete.

The power of every move made by the Out-of-Body True Venerable is immense; this is taking responsibility for himself and for others.

Now, Qu Zhenzun must have sensed something, and forcibly left seclusion before he could control himself.

Just as the True Venerables had predicted, the seated figure grew to two thousand kilometers before shrinking back to about two hundred kilometers.

After rising and falling more than ten times, the altitude finally stabilized at around 500 kilometers.

Then a powerful divine sense swept out, "It's alright, don't worry about me!"

"Oh my god!" Wenxian raised his hand to his forehead. "This divine sense... can you alleviate it a little?"

"I'm... trying my best to control it." The divine sense that followed did indeed lessen somewhat, but it fluctuated in strength.

"This is amazing!" Venerable Minning exclaimed. "It feels like we can prioritize using divine sense attacks..."

Xiao Qu, who had just emerged from seclusion, possessed a divine sense that surprised even several Immortal Venerables. Among the Nascent Soul cultivators present, some even turned pale.

Even with this, and under the premise of his extreme control... then, how powerful must true divine sense be?

After thinking for a moment, Mu Guang asked in a low voice, "Boss, is it that you don't even dare to open your eyes?"

"I think... yes?" Jin Ge pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. "I don't know what's involved... let it be."

Bentley and Mu Guang nodded in unison, relieved that nothing had gone wrong.

Visual perception is not particularly important at the Golden Core stage, as the spirit can replace much of it when it leaves the body.

After a moment of silence, Han Li spoke up and asked, "How many more days until things return to normal?"

"About ten days," the fluctuating divine sense transmitted again, "but for now, I am safe and sound, so everyone should stay away."

The five True Venerables led their people and slowly retreated. True Venerable Qingkong even retrieved the butterfly. "You can collect those auras now."

"No need, I'll give them to you all," Qu Jianlei replied. "It's not like all my hard work was for nothing."

"I'll go first!" Han Li said without hesitation.

The cold field instantly froze half of the ball of light, but bypassed the illusory figure sitting cross-legged in the middle.

"Damn, you're ruthless," Qingkong said, releasing thousands of butterflies once again.

Upon hearing this, the other three True Venerables also attacked with all their might without hesitation.

After Han Li absorbed half of the aura, he did not continue selling, but instead gave a verbal warning.

"You should try to avoid making a move. If you're not careful, your cultivation level might drop!"

"Where is it that exaggerated?" The other four True Venerables muttered to themselves, but none of them uttered a word of rebuttal.

The probability of this happening is very small, but everyone is convinced of Han Li's divination skills.

Considering Xiao Qu's strong will, and the fact that she has now forcibly left seclusion, it is indeed possible that, given her temperament, this could happen.

“It’s alright,” Qu Jianlei’s consciousness stabilized a little, “I have other methods.”

Han Li shook his head and stopped talking. After a while, all his aura was taken away.

However, the old god of magic was able to calmly observe this scene: it seemed that the will of the world... did not care much about these auras.

A day later, the phantom in the sky suddenly shrank, stopping only when it was the size of a fist.

In the dimly lit outer space, the turmoil had not yet subsided, and recovery was still a long way off.

This fist-sized figure is really hard to spot without careful observation.
