Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2472 Who else is dissatisfied

For a time, I, the unworthy True Venerable, did not have a good relationship with my family, but blood ties cannot be severed.

After his return, many in the clan tried to win him over, and once his father, a Golden Core cultivator, passed away, the relationship was fully restored.

Based on his father's experiences during his youth, I, the humble True Venerable, place great importance on cultivation resources; it could be considered a childhood trauma.

Although he was only a worshipper, there were people in the clan who had been in Lingyun for generations. What they lacked was simply a true venerable one to lead them.

This kind of network of connections is incomparable to that of Minning, so although they are both worshipped, they are not comparable.

Since resources are a sore point for me, my motives for making things difficult for Qu Jianlei are perfectly valid.

Why was he chosen to take the lead? Because a considerable group had already gathered around him, while he himself was merely a worshipper.

What makes them dare to step forward? Even the True Venerable believed that True Venerable Qu was unlikely to turn against them under these circumstances; at the very least, they would have to discuss the matter first.

The dozen or so True Venerables present were not Ling Yun's people, but they also had various entanglements with Ling Yun.

If Qu Jianlei dares to make a reckless move, he should be careful that other True Venerables might not stand by and speak out or even intervene to stop him.

While the power of time is indeed formidable, can it withstand the siege of numerous True Venerables once it arouses public outrage?
Moreover, the power of time travel is said to be extremely taxing and causes considerable damage to the body...

Okay, this might be false information released by Qu Zhenzun; the consumption might not be as exaggerated as he said.

However, it is an undeniable fact that this person did not fully master the power of time.

Supernatural powers, when first introduced, require a high level of comprehension and other conditions, but theoretically, it is possible to achieve them in one fell swoop.

However, developing supernatural abilities from beginner to expert requires a lot of hard work, and almost no one is an exception.

So, instead of taking advantage of this person's lack of mastery of supernatural powers, why wait until they have cultivated to perfection before coming to humiliate them?

To ensure the desired effect of creating a difficult situation, I, the unworthy True Venerable, even went so far as to learn about True Venerable Qu's conduct and behavior in the Cangwu Realm.

However, the Cangwu cultivators' evaluation of Qu Zhenzun... how to put it? He was so perfect that he seemed like a moral exemplar!
He understands the big picture, prioritizes the overall situation, and doesn't care about personal gains or losses... Even the carefree immortal who once broke into the mountain was only imprisoned for a few decades before being released!

As for Qu Jianlei's somewhat arrogant demeanor on certain occasions, almost no one mentions it. When it is occasionally brought up, people simply say that he is a man of strong character.

There's really nothing wrong with what the Lord of Quling did in Cangwu, not to mention that he's about to lead the natives of this world to conquer another world!

Therefore, I, the humble True Venerable, truly did not expect that the other party would actually turn against me so directly.

Fortunately, his more than four thousand years of life were not in vain. What appeared at this moment was an avatar, while his true self was inside the Spirit Treasure Warship, under the pretense of resting.

Even so, upon seeing this, his true form inside the Spirit Treasure Warship instantly felt a chill run down his spine!

This supernatural power is really that strong? He was really caught off guard—it can actually affect the main body through a clone?

"You attacked me!" The clone of the Unworthy True Venerable flashed away in an instant, trying to dodge the Time Divine Power.

However, the phrase "within sight" is not just empty words.

In a flash, he was millions of kilometers away.

Unfortunately, it was no use. Those indifferent eyes remained fixed on him, devoid of any emotion.

Just as his vital energy was rapidly depleting, the Unworthy True Venerable flashed away again, hiding behind a warship.

No matter how powerful the passage of time may be, can your vision still bend?
As for the cultivators beside and inside the warship, he believed that Qu Zhenzun would not harm the innocent under such circumstances.

Although they are all minor cultivators, they are the elite selected by various forces who are about to conquer the other world!

This reaction of using others as human shields is really unbecoming of his dignity, but at this moment, how could he care about so much?

Unfortunately, he overlooked one point: the power of time lies in its own supernatural abilities, not in one's eyesight!
Qu Zhenzun's vision cannot bend, but his supernatural powers of time can!
However, such an operation also tests his proficiency with supernatural powers—it is quite difficult.

It's definitely impossible for him to harm cultivators; it's enough that he doesn't target them.

However, controlling one's supernatural powers to bypass the warship is quite difficult.

The warship in the void had its defenses activated, and the strength of those defenses wasn't too low.

But the next moment, the strength of the warship's shield dropped drastically, and it began to tremble violently.

Inside the warship, at the core of the array's drive point, numerous spirit stones instantly turned to dust...

"Ah, this..." one of the cultivators cried out in despair, "This is...!"

"Charge out of the warship!" Someone had already made the correct judgment: their own side was unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire of the True Venerable's battle!
Fortunately, the impact didn't last very long, just a few breaths.

As the warship's main body began to age rapidly, the power of time bypassed the warship and locked onto the Unworthy True Venerable once again.

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind: the erosion of time... is truly everywhere, and there is no escaping it!
Fortunately, the warship did offer him some protection, giving him a much-needed moment to think.

Immediately afterwards, he used another teleportation, but this time, he chose to use the spirit treasure warship as a meat shield!
He had no intention of offending the Lingyun Sect, but this was the only way he could temporarily escape the crisis in his haste.

Of course, if it could provoke Lingbao's wrath and cause the two sides to fight, that would be an unexpected bonus!
"Enough!" A divine sense transmitted, it was True Venerable Qingkong, enraged, "Can't you be a little more dignified?"

Then he told Qu Zhenzun, "Be careful not to start a fight. Stop fighting first, and I'll give you an explanation!"

Qu Jianlei snorted softly upon hearing this, and finally the vortex in his eyes dissipated, his left eye becoming as lifeless as his right eye.

He didn't care much about giving explanations, but stirring up trouble was indeed a problem—that's just how it is when you're not proficient in supernatural powers.

"I'm useless?" Upon hearing this, the Unworthy True Venerable's eyes widened in fury.

Although he looked extremely unwell, his eyes, though unfocused, held a cold and sharp glint in them, and he held a misty bead in his hand.

Clearly, he also brought out a usable treasure, but as for its effectiveness... well, that remains to be seen.

But without a doubt, with everyone launching a massive attack on the other world, they'll definitely have plenty of trump cards up their sleeves for battle.

The Unworthy True Venerable looked at the Great Protector with a dark face, "Great Protector, didn't you see that he struck first?"

"If you hadn't started it, would they have attacked first?" Qingkong's face was also quite ugly. "Do you think I'm old and blind?"

"As a senior, can't I offer him a few words of advice?" The unworthy True Venerable was truly stubborn, actually arguing with the Great Protector.

"Was this operation ultimately led by Ling Yun wrong?"

“Since that’s what you think, then don’t go,” Qingkong said calmly. “I’ll save you some face!”

The Lingyun Sect also has its pride. If they have any complaints in front of so many cultivators from outside the sect, they can argue about it behind closed doors when they get back.

The Grand Protector's status is transcendent; if it doesn't involve personal interests, even if he scolds Baiqiao, Baiqiao wouldn't be able to retaliate.

The unworthy True Venerable does indeed have a wide network of connections, but the Great Protector used his status to pressure him, leaving him no room to retort.

His expression shifted twice, then he snorted coldly, "So what if I don't want to go?"

He's over four thousand years old. Regardless of whether he has any intention of attempting to reach the Divine Realm, going to another world would at least allow him to gain a lot of resources.

This reaction was quite different from his usual behavior.

But it's not surprising. There must be a reason for the strangeness. For him to stand out like this, someone must have promised him something.

Moreover, it's just that we can't go there now. Once the coordinates of the other world are revealed, it won't take too long to go there and back.

"What do you think?" Qingkong looked at Qu Jianlei and secretly sent him a divine sense.

"That's enough, just suppressing their arrogance is enough... In front of so many people, I can't possibly side with outsiders."

"Hmph," Qu Jianlei snorted lightly, and said nothing more.

In fact, he had anticipated this situation when he made his move; one could even say that he had no chance of killing his opponent.

However, he didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but the other party insisted on making trouble, so for him, there was simply no way to avoid it!
Since we're going to take action, it must be with overwhelming force, without any unnecessary steps.

The outcome is not important; the key is to demonstrate that you are not to be trifled with, and incidentally, to reduce the opponent's lifespan as much as possible.

The lifespan of a True Venerable is not infinite; in fact, one could say they care even more about their lifespan than a Nascent Soul cultivator. This decision is destined to create enemies.

However, when the other party intends to make an enemy of him, the outcome is already predetermined.

Cultivating immortality is not just about fighting and killing, but in the instant between human relationships and fighting, one must strive to cause the greatest damage.

"A person who isn't ruthless can't stand firm," Qu Jianlei has never forgotten to remind himself to strive to maintain his fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi Zhenzun shook his head helplessly: "The Great Protector's siding with the enemy is really going too far."

How can Ling Yun tolerate such an offense from a True Venerable in public?

The next moment, Han Li spoke coldly, "I don't know what other plans you have, but there's just one question..."

"Anyone else who's not satisfied? Step forward. I won't tolerate internal strife within Houde's expedition team."

Conquering another world without internal strife is practically an ironclad rule in the cultivation world.

Although this phenomenon is difficult to avoid given the various circumstances, it is undoubtedly the right and correct approach!

In the plans of the Unworthy True Venerable and others, this is just the beginning, and there will be a series of solutions to deal with it.

However, after discussing various possibilities, they never expected that the other party would choose the most powerful way to break the deadlock.

It was brutal enough, but also effective enough. However, it was not the way the Lingyun Sect members were used to doing things.

So now everyone is staring at each other, unable to come up with a solution.

In fact, Qingkong's timely intervention was also crucial. As the Grand Protector of Lingyun, his words carried considerable weight.
