Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2471 Old Demon Qu
When it comes to using the power of time travel, Qu Jianlei feels somewhat helpless.

The first use wasn't perfect, so the second time... what was that?

However, he was unhappy. Baiqiao almost exploded when he heard this, "How was I supposed to know that you, Zhan Xuanyi, could use the Time-Traveling Divine Power?"

"If I had known you had the years, I would have made sure everything was arranged for you... Such powerful supernatural abilities are being wasted!"

It is extremely offensive to criticize someone for wasting their talents—what business is it of yours what other people's talents are!

The person who said this was none other than Hyakuhashi, who never showed his emotions, which shows that he was truly anxious.

"Thank you for the compliment," Qu Jianlei said, too lazy to argue with the other party. "Let's leave the support here."

"Having failed to achieve anything twice in my lifetime, I must find another true master to kill... My supernatural powers cannot be allowed to go to waste!"

Jin Ge had mentally prepared himself not to interrupt, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help himself.

"Find another True Venerable to kill... Little Qu, True Venerable Qu, this is the Realm of Virtue, not the world of alien races!"

“But I can’t see the truth in my mind,” Qu Jianlei replied in a muffled voice, “With such great virtue, surely there are those who deserve to be killed?”

"I have a business to discuss, it's a matter of life and death..." Baiqiao Zhenzun's preparations were indeed thorough.

“I won’t take your order,” Qu Jianlei interrupted him without hesitation. “You guys who play mind games… are not trustworthy!”

“Yes,” Jin Ge nodded subconsciously, “They’re all dirty!”

"Who the hell are you?" Baiqiao's eye twitched; he almost cursed.

In the end, however, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Fine, how about starting the journey to another world in three years?"

“I may not go,” Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice. “My people will go, and someone has agreed to help take care of them.”

"Hmm?" Baiqiao turned her head to look at him. "If you don't go, how are you going to explain it to Qingning?"

"Go and create a clone," Qu Jianlei replied vaguely—you really can't tell this person too much of the truth.

Three years of preparation time is really not long; it will be over in the blink of an eye.

However, at the same time, a rumor was quietly circulating in Houde: before leaving, Qu Zhenzun wanted to practice his supernatural powers of time one more time.

So he inquired about which True Venerable had committed the most evil deeds, intending to completely perfect his supernatural powers.

This news... is said to have been spread by some peripheral force of the Lingyun Sect.

"This is...it feels like I'm some kind of heretical cultivator," Qu Jianlei said, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He knew that Baiqiao must have done this, but the problem was, "Three sacrifices were needed to achieve the supernatural power, this is simply incredible."

However, there are pros and cons to this.

His reputation will definitely be affected to some extent, but at the same time, anyone who wants to mess with his companions should consider the wrath of Old Demon Qu.

But without realizing it, how did he become... Old Demon Qu?
It didn't matter anymore. Having reached the True Venerable realm, he gradually got used to it. He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't overstep the boundaries.

When the three-year term was up, he hadn't encountered any suitable True Venerables to target, and the occasional rumors he heard were not to be taken seriously.

As the departure date drew closer, he began his final planning, transferring both Duogan and Jing Yuexin to Jiuyou Island.

At the same time, he kept urging Qianhuan Zhenzun: What about the fifth-order spiritual vein you promised me?
Qianhuan Zhenzun was truly afraid of him. The previous attack on Poling Mountain had already weakened his defenses, but who would have thought that he could use the Time Divine Power?
But there was really no way around it; time was too short, and no one expected that the development of the other world would be brought forward.

He had considered reporting the violent acts of other True Venerables, which would allow True Venerable Qu to perfect his Time Divine Power and seize the fifth-order spiritual vein.

However, Qu Jianlei remained unmoved. What a joke! This is what you promised me. Now you want me to help you eliminate your rivals?
However, the thirty years he set aside were indeed a bit short, especially since the development of the other world was brought forward.

So there's no point in arguing about it; this is all we can do. The time hasn't come yet. We'll talk about it again when we get back from the other world.

Before leaving, he left a clone to guard Jiuyou Island, while he himself went to the Empire World.

He also brought some people from Red Leaf Ridge, both to seek opportunities and to train the team, including Qi Ya and Dai Wanwan.

Then there are the other cultivators from the Cangwu Realm, totaling more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators and five hundred Golden Core cultivators.

For these Cangwu natives, entering the cave is a legendary event.

So even though the portable cave dwelling was in very poor condition, everyone looked around with great curiosity.

The old team members, including Jia Shuiqing, were too lazy to restrain them.

Qi Ya and Dai Wanwan came in, acting like experienced people, explaining and directing everyone on how to rest.

Qu Jianlei didn't care about any of that. He arrived on time at the agreed-upon meeting place in the void.

It wasn't that he insisted on being on time; in fact, it was a few days earlier. The main problem was that he had too many things to do at home.

But when he arrived at the meeting point, he was still taken aback... Damn, have all the virtuous cultivators come?
They were truly densely packed, blotting out the sky, and most of them were warships, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Just as warships cannot be too close together, so too can warships, but just looking at this vast area, there must be at least tens of thousands of them.

There were also many cultivators standing in the void, undoubtedly at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and their numbers definitely exceeded ten thousand.

As for the aura of the soul... there were at least twenty or thirty of them, and that was without any concealment.

As a True Venerable, Qu Jianlei could tell from a quick sense that there were at least thirty to fifty True Venerables concealing their auras.

At this moment, he finally understood why it was called "conquering" another world... This was definitely a large-scale invasion!
Although the gathering point had a large number of people, it was quite organized, with dozens of entrances checking identities and the attitude was by no means gentle.

But you can't blame them, there were just too many people and too many things to check.

Those who truly possess status will not be greatly troubled; as long as a True Venerable releases their aura, they will naturally be treated with respect.

Qu Jianlei was acting alongside Jin Ge, so there were no problems at all; he didn't even need to project any imposing aura.

Finally, Jin Ge led Qu Jianlei to a huge warship.

The warship is named Expedition, a post-natal spiritual treasure of the Lingyun Sect, specifically designed for conquering the void and other worlds.

In this conquest of the other world, the five-person group holds the majority of the management authority.

With the last of the five Nascent Soul cultivators also emerging from their physical bodies, Qu Zhenzun, who still amazed everyone in Houde, gained even more weight as a group of five.

Despite the presence of nearly a hundred True Venerables, the five of them alone are enough to dominate the area—mainly because everyone's interests are highly intertwined!

Even so, in the end, it was still Lingyun Sect that took the lead, as it was the true behemoth of Houde.

It's not about having a monopoly; to put it bluntly, the five-man group's subordinates are unable to maintain the current order.

Take Qu Jianlei for example. He brought a bunch of fellow villagers from Cangwu, and their trust level was basically not a problem. But what can a few dozen Nascent Soul cultivators do?

A few dozen organized Nascent Soul cultivators can barely keep an eye on a few thousand, but what about those few dozen True Venerables...?
Even though Lingyun Sect is riddled with internal conflicts, its nominal dominant position is still due to its strength, and there's no denying it.

This expeditionary warship is proof that Ling Yun was primarily responsible for this operation.

More than a dozen True Venerables had already gathered on the warship.

Among them are Qingkong, Minning, and Song Yue'er, whom Qu Jianlei is familiar with, as well as Xuan Yi Zhenzun, who has just revealed the cause and effect.

However, most of them were unfamiliar to him, such as the one glaring at him.

This Venerable One has a long beard that reaches his chest, clearly showing that he cherishes his beard and cares a lot about his image.

Qu Jianlei was a little confused when he saw this guy glaring at him, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

He's not a spirit stone; he can't be liked by everyone. Even if there are some inexplicable causes and effects, it doesn't matter.

However, this one was truly extraordinary; it actually emitted divine consciousness.

"Qu Zhenzun came and went so directly without even saying hello to everyone?"

I haven't seen anyone so eager to court death in a long time! Qu Jianlei turned his head and asked indifferently, "Who... are you?"

"Who I am is not important," he thought angrily, but a smile remained on his face.

"The key is that with so many seniors around, shouldn't Qu Zhenzun put in a good word with Ling Yun if he wants to gain Ling Yun's support?"

"Do you want to teach me how to do things?" Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, then his left eye suddenly lit up!
A profound, distant, ruthless, swirling, folded, and chaotic aura reappears.

Upon seeing this, the other True Venerables instantly retreated, clearing out the area within tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant!
Qu Zhenzun, the hottest rising star in the world of virtue, even if you haven't met him, who hasn't heard of him?
When Qu Jianlei arrived, everyone noticed him, but some people acted as if they didn't care.

Now, his half-open left eye suddenly snapped open, and everyone dropped the pretense and scattered to run away.

The phrase "Everything that can be seen is the passage of time"—among the current virtuous and venerable ones, is there anyone who hasn't heard of it?

Some treasures can withstand the erosion of time—there is no such thing as an invincible method in this world.

But this kind of treasure is so rare, and secondly... is it really worth wasting it here?
There was a reason why this long-bearded True Venerable suddenly launched an attack; once you reach the level of a True Venerable, no one would act foolishly.

But he never expected that the other party would turn on him so quickly, faster than turning the pages of a book.

It should be noted that beside him was the Lingyun Sect's acquired spiritual treasure warship, and there were also more than a dozen True Venerables by his side.

The title of Long-Bearded True Venerable is "Unworthy," and like Min Ning, he is currently an honored disciple of the Lingyun Sect.

However, the background of this humble True Venerable is much stronger than that of Min Ning, with members of his family entering the direct line of Ling Yun throughout the generations.

At its peak, his family had more than ten Nascent Soul disciples in the sect, some of whom held high positions.

When I was young, my father, the unworthy True Venerable, left home with his son in a fit of anger because of the unfair distribution of resources in the family. When he returned, his son had already become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His father was relieved, but he was already a True Immortal and could no longer enter the core of the sect.

Once he advances to the True Venerable level, Ling Yun can only offer him a position as an honorary retainer.
