Chapter 2465 Burning the Qin
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qu Jianlei stated without hesitation, "I am willing to support any attempt anyone makes..."

"I have only one request: this divine consciousness must not be let escape!"

He also wanted spiritual treasures, even though that would attract too much covetousness. But what cultivator doesn't yearn for power? He wouldn't let a small setback deter him from pursuing his goals.

However, just like the shattered sacred mountain, any spiritual treasures that could not be fully utilized by him were simply discarded.

Just like now, he hasn't even refined the repaired broken sword—he wants to keep his distance until trust is established.

“Then let’s burn it with fire,” the Great Protector said, flipping his wrist to reveal a small, shimmering butterfly. “My fire is yin in nature.”

When the Pixiu clone was destroyed, it was a dark blue figure, which should also be of a more feminine nature.

“I possess Yang Fire,” Tianli Zhenzun said in a deep voice, holding up a ball of flame in his palm, “Pure Yang Fire.”

"Stop messing around," Jin Ge's face darkened. What a joke, doesn't he know this is Jin Jing Net?
Song Yue'er spoke up, "I have a gentle fire within me, is that alright?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Han Li, her meaning clear—so what if I'm cold? I have fire!

Han Li hadn't wanted to speak at first, but seeing this, he couldn't help but snort, "I have the Frostfire... Let me do a divination!"

He raised his hand and began to calculate, while Qu Jianlei watched silently from the side, feeling a slight sense of awe: There are so many types of fire!

The variety of types is not the main point; the key is that almost every True Venerable has their own unique fire magic.

Jin Ge seems to have difficulty cultivating fire techniques due to his innate talent, while even Han Li from the cold energy field has condensed fire techniques.

It's impossible that all the True Venerables were originally skilled in fire magic, which means that they only developed their own fire magic after reaching this level.

This change involves rules and origins, and is unlikely to have arisen naturally; it must have been intentionally done by the True One.

Although the lifespan of a True Venerable is long, it is impossible for him to waste time on futile efforts. Clearly, there must be some explanation for this.

After Qu Jianlei left his body, his mastery of the Time-Traveling Divine Power amazed most of Houde, and he was quite pleased with himself.

Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous: a Nascent Soul Grandmaster is nothing more than this.

Only now, seeing so many different fire techniques, did he realize with a start: there was still so much to go after leaving the body!

Fortunately, he was a man who knew how to reflect, and the shock he felt from this relatively ordinary scene lasted for a very long time.

Unbeknownst to others, the fiery and hot-tempered Qu Zhenzun had actually begun to examine himself over such a trivial matter.

After calculating for a moment, Han Li turned to look at Song Yue'er and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your trouble, True Venerable Song... Does anyone have any objections?"

No one would object. Since it is believed that this existence is unfriendly to cultivators, there is no need to be polite to its true form.

Especially since it wasn't Tianli who made the move, who doesn't possess pure Yang fire, the impact on the main body should be much smaller.

Even Jin Ge nodded slightly, "The gentle fire is good; my golden fire might cause serious damage."

Even you have fire magic... Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei's lips twitched slightly.

On second thought, the Golden Essence Net burned the stones until they sizzled and smoked, so wouldn't that also be considered a fire magic?
Of the six True Venerables, I'm the only one who doesn't have fire magic... I don't know what I was so proud of before!
I'll make it up; I definitely need to make it up next time!

Upon hearing this, Song Zhenzun smiled slightly. Seeing that no one spoke, he looked at the stone and began to ponder.

But the next moment, her expression became hesitant, and she asked timidly, "Are we in a hurry?"

Her current demeanor is somewhat out of place with her usual noble and graceful temperament.

"Of course!" Han Li was truly impolite to her, even frowning. "Do you expect everyone to wait for you for a hundred or two hundred years?"

This isn't an exaggeration. The being on the other side was barely held back by the combined efforts of the Five True Venerables, so its strength couldn't be weak.

Song Zhenzun wasn't angry. Instead, he said awkwardly, "Then everyone... please be understanding. It would be best to stabilize your soul."

"I'm just..." Han Li was also a little speechless, "Hurry up, can you handle it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange melody suddenly spread out, striking straight to the soul.

The key is the melody... it's really hard to describe, it's somewhat gloomy, somewhat sorrowful, somewhat jarring, and somewhat noisy.

Even the "harsh" feeling directly hit the souls of the five True Venerables, making people want to scratch their ears and cheeks.

In short: even if you break a bowl with an iron spoon, it doesn't cause as much discomfort as this!
But ironically, this is also a piece of music, with its own rhythm!

At the same time, a large amount of white mist emerged from Song Yue'er's body, enveloping the rocks in front of her.

Although everyone knows that this is a form of gentle fire, it is still somewhat unbearable for everyone.

Jin Ge grinned and said, "This is the first time I've ever felt murderous intent towards Yin Xiu... What the hell is this?!"

Master Shu is a man of immense learning, a living encyclopedia. Although he is not a sound engineer, his musical attainments are quite high.

The Great Protector immediately put away the butterfly to prevent the treasure from being damaged. "What kind of music is this?"

"The piece is called 'Burning the Zither,'" Song Yue'er said, her expression hidden in the white mist. "Han Li said to hurry!"

The handsome young man nodded firmly twice. "This is no ordinary burning of the zither; the artistic conception... is quite profound!"

Qu Jianlei's face was expressionless, but in his mind, the big-headed butterfly was spinning wildly.

"Fire magic...fire magic can also be combined with supernatural powers, boss, the path you're on is still very long...forget it, don't go down this path!"

Two days later, under Song Zhenzun's outrageous fire attack, the surface of the stone finally peeled off.

The object inside was revealed to be a large chestnut, about one kilometer in diameter.

However, beneath the spikes is not a hard outer shell, but rather a strange root system that is entangled in layers, like a ball of yarn.

Unlike a regular ball of yarn where the threads are uniform, these roots are not uniform; some are thick, some are thin, and they have branches and nodules...

In short, it's a very ugly thing, and it makes people feel uncomfortable—of course, the discomfort is far less than that of burning a zither.

"A spiritual treasure that looks like this..." Tianli Zhenzun grinned slightly, "Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing to take it out like this?"

Whether a spiritual treasure is innate or acquired, its beauty is not the primary concern; efficacy and power are the most important factors.

However, Lingbao also has its own unique characteristics. A Lingbao that looks like this... its spirit probably wants to commit suicide!
Jin Ge looked up silently. "My aesthetic sense has been utterly destroyed today."

Han Li ignored the two of them and looked at Qu Jianlei instead, "This guy's consciousness... is hidden."

This chestnut… Qu Jianlei nodded slightly upon hearing this, “Its physical form is also a treasure.”

His tolerance for ugliness was probably the highest among everyone present. No matter how ugly it was, could it be worse than a garbage dump?
"Take it away," Han Li said, raising the array plate in his hand and tossing it into the air.

The array rapidly expanded in the air, reaching a diameter of about ten kilometers, before ceasing its expansion and enveloping the chestnut.

The array plate was gradually collected, and the golden essence net gradually receded. Half an hour later, the opponent was successfully sealed.

Han Li raised his hand and the array plate flew back. Then he performed a series of hand seals.

About ten minutes later, the array plate shrank to the size of a washbasin and returned to his hand.

He casually handed the array plate to Qu Jianlei, saying, "Put it away."

Seeing that the other party hesitated, he casually said, "Without rules, there can be no order. You organized this."

Qu Jianlei didn't hesitate any longer and put away the array plate with a thought.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly, "Good heavens!"

"What's wrong?" Jin Ge couldn't help but ask, and the others also looked on with curiosity.

“Feng Wangyi was paralyzed with fear,” Qu Jianlei replied calmly. “Even when it saw the mother tree that had left its body, it wouldn’t be like this.”

It's no secret in this circle that the Lord of Quling has a subordinate from the Tree Clan; Jin Ge and others even know the name of the Tree Traitor.

Actually, there was something else he didn't say: the cave dwelling was also starting to feel the strain!

The cave dwelling he carried was a high-quality replica of his personal cave dwelling; the trial cave dwelling, because of its stronger defenses, was left behind in Red Leaf Ridge.

This cave dwelling was not very well-maintained to begin with, and now that a clump of tree roots has been gathered up, it is actually a little unstable.

This was only because the tree roots were sealed by the array plate; otherwise, the cave would have been in even greater trouble.

However, although he didn't say it, True Venerable Qingkong pointed out directly, "Be careful with your cave dwelling, don't let it escape!"

No wonder the Nascent Soul True Venerable is so terrifying. He is truly all-encompassing. There's a reason why he became Lingyun's First Protector.

This has little to do with whether Qu Jianlei has advanced in cultivation level. The main reason is that after he left his body, he didn't rush to refine the cave dwelling.

The cave is now facing a hidden danger. The key issue is that the Great Protector can still vaguely sense a trace of the tree root's aura.

"Huh?" Jin Ge's interest was piqued. "How about we try taking it into my cave?"

His cave dwelling was finally refined, and he even brought it along this time. Hearing this, I was a little itchy.

Han Li spoke calmly, "Your cave dwelling is newly built, and its foundation is not as good as Qu Zhenzun's. I advise you not to take any risks."

This is a fair assessment. Although Qu Jianlei's portable cave dwelling is not perfect, it is due to long-term neglect.

How could the cave dwelling that the Martial Profound Venerable used in the past be anything less than excellent?

Although Jin Ge's cave dwelling was built and refined by himself, it's still best not to take unnecessary risks.

Just then, the heroine of the burning zither moved her lips, but ultimately did not speak.

Song Zhenzun wanted to show off, and he burned off the outer shell of the stone within two days, which took a lot of effort.

She could offer some suggestions to the tree root group; at the very least, she felt that the ugly tree roots were currently a higher priority for her.

However, not wanting to anger Han Li, she eventually shut up reluctantly.

However, even though she didn't say anything, who among those present lacked observational skills?
Qu Jianlei felt a little embarrassed and sighed softly, "Well then, I'll go in and deal with it, and see if I can subdue that being."
