Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2505 Mortal Life (First update to celebrate the adorable "Street Cleaner")
There really wasn't any constraint mechanism; it was just a simple agreement between the two parties.

However, Han Li stated that since both sides have powerful deities involved, there would naturally be powerful beings to handle any breach of contract.

Then, quite casually, he said, "Show me the data you've observed and calculated about Qing'er over the past few years."

"What's there to see here?" Qu Jianlei muttered, but still tossed him a jade slip.

A year later, as expected, a large number of cultivators from outside the region came.

However, accompanying them were a massive number of virtuous cultivators; this batch alone numbered over 100 million!
Many of the True Venerables' cave dwellings were packed with people.

In the words of the Houde Realm, if cultivators from other realms can come, why should our own people be treated unfairly?
Various unexpected events suddenly increased, and there was simply no way to stop them.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was not greatly affected; it was the other four True Venerables who were busy.

Lingyun Sect also knew that he was observing Qinglong's advancement, and this matter was of great significance to Houde.

However, it was inevitable that the star cluster he guarded would be frequently visited by people.

In the end, Ling Yun had no choice but to send Qing Kong to help him fend off the endless stream of cultivators.

Regardless, this is Lingyun's chief protector; his reputation alone is enough to make a difference.

The original form of Qing Ning has also returned. In this new world, you can see cultivators everywhere you go, the only difference is the number.

He felt that finding opportunities had suddenly become much more difficult, and he would occasionally encounter cultivators who needed his help, making him quite busy.

He could, of course, walk by and ignore it, but that's not how things are done.

So strangely enough, as cultivators launched a massive invasion of other worlds, these three True Venerables stayed in the star cluster and made no move.

However, this silence did not last long. On this day, the clone of the Thousand Illusions True Venerable arrived.

He brought unexpected news: cultivators from other realms had come to a standoff with the Empire's military!
Qu Zhenzun comes from this world—or at least resided here for a long time before, as many virtuous cultivators already know.

However, after hearing this, everyone just treated it as an interesting story: the world of cultivators and the world of ordinary people should not have any interaction in the first place.

As for the claim that these three countries also have cultivation systems... well, everyone should just treat that as a joke.

Normally, things should be kept separate, but the problem is that things are not normal now, as the cultivators from outside the region have arrived late.

Lacking a first-mover advantage and having made various agreements with Houdejie, there's a sense of being somewhat constrained, and a breakthrough needs to be found.

Then they discovered that these three technologically advanced companies were completely ignored by the virtuous cultivators.

These three countries are the true natives of these interconnected worlds.

Cultivators from beyond the realm are also cultivators, possessing the same arrogance, but... there's nothing wrong with using the natives to do something, right?

It's worth mentioning that the three companies in the technology sector are not entirely without merit.

If we set aside our prejudices, their cultivation system is indeed unbearable to look at, but their methods of warfare are quite unique!
The warships and fleets are formidable, but the key is that they use energy blocks from this world, not spirit stones!

For cultivators, this means war has extremely low costs!
So they tried to make contact with the other side—not on an equal footing, but because they thought the other side had war potential and they wanted to requisition it.

Upon hearing this, the Federation was overjoyed and offered to send warships, energy blocks, and soldiers to fight alongside the cultivators against the alien races.

The authorities haven't mentioned any rewards, because what they want most is the cultivation system for cultivators.

However, previous experiences have shown that cultivators would never leak their cultivation system, so... let's get acquainted with them first.

Cultivators from outside the region are also happy to see this situation.

No matter how inferior the other party's civilization is, or how their development direction is wrong due to their unbalanced approach, they still provide money, manpower, and equipment!
There is no such thing as a servant army in the cultivation world, but even Asuras can guard a region for cultivators, let alone humans.

During their contact, the cultivators from outside the realm learned that the cultivators from the Houde Realm... strictly speaking, were Qu Zhenzun, who had spent many years in the Empire!
Meanwhile, the empire is planning to unify the three kingdoms and create a unified nation based on technological advancement.

The people of the Federation were naturally unhappy, so they told the cultivators from other regions that there were many treasures left behind by cultivators in the Empire.

Such provocative rhetoric is very low-level. In a different context, cultivators from other realms would definitely not fall for it.

A bunch of idiots who only know how to use mundane gadgets actually dare to try to sow discord among cultivators—with your limited life wisdom that only allows you to live for a hundred years or so?
But things are different now. They are latecomers, and Houdejie has already gained too many advantages.

Qu Zhenzun is the most stubborn example among them. He is very hostile, has strong combat power, and also has a large share of management fees.

In this situation, let me ask you this: If you were in that situation, what would you choose?
Houde allowed several realms to come and develop the other world, and agreed on a general framework in various aspects, but this was the only thing not agreed on.

This wasn't a mistake by Baiqiao or any other True Venerable, but rather a subconscious belief that... this was a matter for our cultivation world.

Houde even reminded fellow Daoists from outside the realm that the Tapir Clan is not a very trustworthy group.

Because the Star Eater has a good reputation in the cultivation world, it is recognized by everyone as a human companion.

However, everyone overlooked the three human kingdoms of Jia in the area.

It's fair to say that... it's the blind spot under the lamp; nobody thought there would be a problem here.

When cultivators from other realms came to the empire, their attitude wasn't bad—who would have any attitude towards ants?

They bluntly stated that they had heard that human cultivators had left behind many treasures here, and that all they needed to do was hand them over.

We don't mean anything by this, but things that belong to cultivators are not something you should possess!

Do the cultivators from beyond the realm not know what the Federation people are thinking? That's impossible, and they won't be swayed by these insignificant ants.

However, it's not bad to be able to make things difficult for Qu Zhenzun, since it's something that can be done easily anyway.

At first, the empire was somewhat caught off guard: cultivators were taking the initiative to come to them?

However, in the next moment, they learned the other party's purpose: without saying much, these people came aboard a Federation warship!
In life... or in the development of Guojia, choosing sides is often a matter of having no other choice.

The Empire's Digital Phantom Fund has grown considerably over the years, making it a true behemoth.

It's not that no one has coveted this enormous fortune, but no one dares to make a move—not even to mention it.

The reason is simple: both the Asura world and the Tree Clan world are embroiled in enormous trouble.

The empire is not bordering either of these worlds, making it difficult to obtain firsthand information.

However, it is an undeniable fact that the Federation and the Alliance are rapidly recovering.

The reason for these changes is that cultivators have launched a massive attack!
The Empire is basically certain that the arrival of the cultivators was brought by the digital phantoms, and this team is highly respected by the cultivators.

At this moment, a group of inexplicable cultivators suddenly appear, demanding some kind of relic... Isn't this a bit off?

Then consider that the other party is traveling on a Federation warship, so how should the Empire choose—does it even have a choice?

So they had no choice but to take the blame: you should contact Digital Phantom about this, it's none of our business.

Xiao Moshan's children were also dispatched to the front lines. One of them had already reached the highest level of cultivation, and another was about to break through to the next level!
However, as for Marshal Xiao's other children... well, it's already good enough that he has one Zhigao.

In addition to these measures, the Empire also actively contacted the cultivators passing through the area, asking them to inform the Digital Phantom team about the changes that had occurred there.

The empire does not border either of the two other worlds, but it serves as a connecting link between them, and cultivators frequently pass through its territory.

Upon learning the news, Qianhuan hurriedly came to inform Qu Jianlei.

He wasn't sure what Qu Zhenzun's relationship with the Empire was like, but he figured he'd just make the trip to maintain the relationship.

Qu Jianlei was speechless when he heard this. Had these guys lost their minds?
He couldn't fathom what the other party's purpose was in doing this.

Even if he had settled his karmic ties with the Empire, would that really be enough to blackmail him?

Aside from being disgusting, Qu Jianlei couldn't think of any other purpose this could serve.

Or perhaps, he set a trap to ambush himself?
He had no interest in dealing with them, because only six True Venerables from the outer realms had arrived in total: two each from the Myriad Things, Supreme Goodness, and Mountains and Waters.

The responsibility of these six individuals is to protect the cultivators of this realm, coordinate with Houde, and even their search for opportunities is prohibited.

Qu Zhenzun believed that if he called on his friends and offered them a reward, there would be no problem in ganging up on these six people.

But is that really necessary? He simply told Qingkong directly, "Shouldn't your Lingyun Sect handle this matter?"

The Great Protector also looked on with a wry smile, "Why do they have to drag this trivial matter into the affairs of the mortal world? Is it really necessary?"

However, Qianhuan had a different opinion, which is why he made a special trip here.

He stated in a serious tone, "Free combat power is free, so why not use it? Since we entered the fray late, we should find a way to make up for it."

"Sigh, what a mess this has become," Qingkong Zhenzun sighed helplessly, then vanished in a flash.

Even Qing Ning couldn't help but complain, "I just don't understand why Houde would let cultivators from outside the realm come here. They're just looking for trouble!"

He himself came from another realm, and if even he thought this way, one can imagine how others felt.

A month later, the results of the investigation were finally reported back.

Lingyun sent his enforcement disciples to negotiate; they were Nascent Soul cultivators, not True Venerables.

The cultivators from the outer realms were initially somewhat reluctant: "You voluntarily gave up the mortal realm, so we're not forcibly taking it, are we?"

Lingyun's disciples negotiated repeatedly, but finally got angry: It was True Venerable Qu who sent us to handle this!

That great master has a wide circle of friends in Houde. If you don't give him face, you know what will happen if he gets angry.

We have already made our point clear. If you still don't know your place, and something bad happens, it has nothing to do with us!
