Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2459 Shadow
The words of the Heavenly True Venerable are probably a bit exaggerated, but they sound very pleasant.

Qu Jianlei smiled upon hearing this, "It's just that I feel a bit guilty if I don't make a move, as it would be a disservice to this sword intent."

Tianli smiled dismissively, "At the time, I didn't expect this battle to cause such a sensation..."

"Since I've already promised, I'll definitely keep my word. We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other, so there's no need to rush."

“Alright,” Qu Jianlei nodded, “Let me summon Brother Han Li. He is skilled in divination and concealing heavenly secrets.”

Before long, True Venerable Hanli arrived, and the three of them headed straight for the Rouzhao No. 5 section.

The spiritual plants were originally located in this area. Although they didn't seem to be ranked very high, they were stable and had a decent foundation of spiritual energy.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li did not land on the plate; only Tianli Zhenzun landed.

After landing, he ordered his Nascent Soul subordinates to chase away Teng Xi's people and tell them not to force him to buy the Spirit Plant Origin, assuring them that his Great Venerable One had protected it.

The two True Venerables, Teng Xi and Tian Li, have been at odds for over a hundred years. Although Tian Li has always been at a disadvantage, he has never been willing to accept defeat.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators under the True Venerables basically knew each other, and could at least tell each other's origins at a glance.

Teng Xi's subordinates did not inform the Great Venerable immediately, but instead said, "Since you say so, let's have a match."

They need to be certain that Celestial Venerable Tianli might actually intervene before they can report it.

If they had to report any random person who came under the guise of an Immortal Venerable, wouldn't True Venerable Tengxi be exhausted?

Not to mention, Tianli had never gained an advantage over Tengxi, so these Nascent Soul cultivators naturally didn't believe it even more.

They believed that the other party was just bluffing, with the aim of annoying them and interfering with the relevant transactions.

In any case, if they disturb True Venerable Tengxi for no reason, they will definitely suffer the consequences, especially if it involves True Venerable Tianli.

The area of ​​Ruozhao No. 5 is quite large. Theoretically, the area should be able to withstand the confrontation between two groups of Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, the people from Tianli set the challenge outside the designated area, stating that their immortal lord abides by the rules, and they did not want to affect the area.

The person who bought the Pixiu was somewhat surprised: Could it be that the other party wasn't lying?

But at this point, they had no other choice.

If they don't want to face their own enraged True Lord, they'll have no choice but to go outside the territory and have a fight with him first.

They could, of course, choose to ignore it, but if they don't confront it head-on, everyone will think they're easy to bully.

After the Pixiu's subordinates left the area, they saw that there was hardly anyone around and became increasingly suspicious.

However, upon seeing this, the people from Tianli began to mock and ridicule, saying, "You really don't know—the True Venerable cannot act arbitrarily on the platform?"
The other side responded with a cold laugh: "The True Venerable might indeed cause damage to the tectonic plates, but with sufficient control, there's no problem!"
While arguing, the two sides agreed on the battle strategy. The Pixiu people advocated team battles, but the Tianli people wanted to fight in turn-based mode.

However, in reality, the people of Tianli had been deliberately trying to induce the other party to say disrespectful things about the Great Venerable.

This is a dirty trick, and many cultivators will find it hard to defend against, because most people are only afraid of the strength of the True Venerable, and may not actually respect him.

Therefore, many times, people will suddenly utter some excessive words, vent their frustrations, or even hurl insults.

However, unless specifically targeted at a particular deity, there will generally be no consequences.

In any case, those at the Nascent Soul stage will pay more attention to these taboos, but for those below the Nascent Soul stage, just remember not to call out names randomly.

Teng Xi's subordinates also knew these things and were very careful to avoid them—the Pixiu was unreasonable not only to outsiders but also to its own people.

But they really relax when dealing with people who have risen to power: this one was indeed dealt with quite badly by the ancestor.

Until someone said, "You don't even dare to do team battles... who knows if your immortal master really authorized you to cause trouble!"

"Huh?" A soft snort rang out, and a massive divine sense descended from the sky. "How dare you question my decision? How dare you!"

It's actually the same old trick, the direct approach of fishing. Tianli Zhenzun has been waiting, waiting for the other party to say something offensive.

There's no need to be overly disrespectful; having room for criticism is enough!
Tianli Zhenzun made a move and captured all of the more than one hundred opponents, only letting one Nascent Soul cultivator escape in the end.

“Tell the Pixiu that my family is short-handed for mining, so we won’t release these people, and also… don’t come to Rouzhao No. 5 again!”

Although he was deliberately picking a fight, he wasn't particularly unreasonable and still followed the rules of the game.

However, he wasn't so sure about the other party's next reaction, after all, Teng Xi was a bit crazy.

He just hoped that the Pixiu... would really get angry?
In the sub-layer space not far away, Qu Jianlei and Han Li faced each other. "This guy's activity pattern is a bit abnormal."

The two were calculating Teng Xi's karma, and because they were worried about being detected by their opponent, they took turns... concealing the secrets of heaven.

Fortunately, Teng Xi's mind has never seemed to be particularly normal over the past few hundred years.

That also significantly reduced the probability of him being discovered.

The next moment, Qu Jianlei suddenly spoke up, "He sensed that something happened here."

"Heh, is that all the strength you have?" Han Li sneered with a forced smile.

Then he raised his hand, and the entire sub-layer space was filled with a white mist. "This little bit of divination mist is enough for him to break through."

At this moment, in deep space far away from Rozhao 5, space distorted and a dark blue figure emerged.

"Tianli? You really don't know what's good for you. I spared your life before, and you're not grateful at all. You think it's all thanks to your own strength?"

The next moment, the dark blue figure flashed and disappeared without a trace. "Did you get a new ally for this operation?"

The blue figure is naturally the Pixiu, who has an intellectual advantage over the Heavenly True Venerable.

That fool always thought that persisting in the struggle would yield results, completely unaware of what futile efforts truly meant!

Some gaps are objective realities that cannot be bridged by hard work alone.

However, just as they were about to reach Rouzhao No. 5, the blue figure suddenly stopped, sensing a vague sense of unease.

So he raised his hand and did some calculations. "Hmm, the cause and effect are very complicated, I can't see it clearly... Hey, I don't believe it."

With a soft mutter, the dark blue figure revealed its face, a lifeless, cold, and stiff countenance.

Only in his eyes could one vaguely see a hint of agility, and a glimmer of stubbornness... or perhaps madness.

Tengxi Zhenzun and Tianli had a long-standing feud, with a minor dispute even dating back seven or eight hundred years. It's no wonder he wouldn't let the other party off the hook.

The cause-and-effect relationship between the two is exceptionally complex and chaotic, and needless to say, it would be an inextricable mess for an ordinary person.

However, the True Venerable One who has left the body can still sort things out clearly, while Teng Xi's discovery this time has added a lot more complicated causes and effects.

Although he acted erratically, he still retained basic rationality and was not lacking in caution.

Moreover, he was well aware that his recent actions had offended many people, so he would naturally be wary of potential traps.

He discovered some new causes and effects that he couldn't see clearly, which might involve powerful beings or sophisticated celestial secrets being concealed.

However, after some thought, Tengxi Zhenzun still didn't believe that the other party could find such powerful helpers.

If Tianli had the connections and the inclination, they would have hired someone long ago, instead of waiting until now.

Therefore, the unclear cause and effect should be due to the fact that the two have too many entanglements, and this situation has occurred before.

The key point is that Teng Xi did not sense much danger. As a True Venerable who has lived for six thousand years, he has great confidence in his perception.

However, better safe than sorry, he continued on his way, but with a greater degree of caution.

He knew perfectly well that if multiple powerful figures joined forces to set a trap, they could easily spare most of his life.

However... he didn't have deep hatred for the other Grand Venerables; he merely walked the line. Even with Tianli, it wasn't a fight to the death.

If the other party insists on taking this dying True Venerable seriously, it's almost certain that they will suffer more losses than gains.

In his view, the fact that multiple powerful figures joined forces and created a direct causal relationship with him meant that there must be some among them who were not good at concealing their true intentions.

However, if there are only a few Great Venerables, they won't be able to cause him much harm, and he will face his crazy revenge!
Why did he end up like this with Tianli? It's because the other party wouldn't back down and instead retaliated!

Tengxi Zhenzun could not tolerate such a bad habit, so for a long time afterward, he took a particularly peculiar approach to Tianli.

The other high-ranking officials also understood that this was a disguised warning, so they didn't dwell on the minor losses.

In short, Pixiu is not mindlessly attracting hatred. Although it acts erratically, it possesses the normal rationality that a true deity should have.

He secretly arrived at the Rouzhao No. 5 section, and after a brief survey, he discovered several of Tianli's subordinates.

His own subordinates, at least for the time being, are unaware of this.

In other words, Tianli Zhenzun did not place any restrictions on his people, nor did he publicly humiliate them.

To some extent, this partially eliminates the possibility of a trap. If someone openly humiliates him while he's supposed to rescue someone, then there's likely something wrong with him.

Anyway, after so many years of wits and courage between the two, he knows what Tianli is all about, and Tianli knows his mindset.

Tengxi Zhenzun could not openly target the people on the platform, as that would give Tianlibie room to maneuver.

The fact that Zhenzun openly kidnapped people on the livable area is a challenge to the normal order of Houde, and it is impossible for Zhenzun not to come forward.

Tianli could then use this opportunity to frame him, saying that he was too old to be rational and calling on everyone to kill the public enemy of the cultivation world.

Their relationship had become so strained that Teng Xi knew her reputation was getting worse and worse, and she couldn't possibly give the other person that kind of opportunity.

Since that's the case, he simply raised his hand to divine where Tianli was hiding.

If things don't look good, he will leave decisively, and while fleeing, he will continue to calculate the other party's intentions.

In short, never give him an opportunity to strike, otherwise he will definitely retaliate decisively.

Continuing to calculate is also a way of putting pressure on the other party: Kid, what you did this time has completely enraged me, just you wait and see!
