Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2510 Epiphany
Shortly after this incident, the camp issued a notice pointing out the location of the spider's home planet.

Within a radius of one hundred billion kilometers around that location, cultivators are strictly prohibited from venturing in search of opportunities or resources.

The camp's reason was: extremely dangerous, involving a powerful being... it was inconvenient to reveal too much.

However, the first nine characters were enough, and even cultivators from outside the realm did not ask any further questions upon seeing this explanation.

However, there were some guardian deities from beyond the realm who inquired indirectly with the camp whether a virtuous lord was behind the scheme.

The reply from Baiqiao's clone was quite interesting: We do not recommend that the Great Lord of your realm intervene. Of course, we cannot stop him, we are just saying.

This answer truly startled the True Venerable from beyond the realm; who could fail to discern the malice in those words?
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Azure Dragon, who was in seclusion, sent a message to the Green Lemon, feeling that the time had come and that he wanted to go into seclusion to advance to the next level.

When this news spread, not only Han Li and Qing Kong rushed over, but even Bai Qiao's clone arrived.

This is a collective divination session. There's no need for the Azure Dragon to appear, since everyone here is a divination expert and can use it remotely.

The final divination result was without any objection, so Qing'er chose to go into seclusion.

Baiqiao's clone also noticed that Qu Jianlei and Han Li's divination tools seemed to be a little different.

However, he didn't ask about that. Instead, he asked the two of them, "What is the probability of you two achieving astral projection?"

Generally speaking, if people can determine through divination that the time is right for seclusion and the opportunity is suitable, that is enough.

Probability is inherently a highly complex calculation, and calculating the probability of advancing to a higher level is an even more complex calculation.

As for the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage... Baiqiao's actions were somewhat of a test for people.

Han Li was quite blunt, "Why are you asking so many questions when you're just a mere clone?"

In fact, for the true deity, an avatar is equivalent to "the true deity's personal presence," so to put it that way is rather offensive.

However, Baiqiao had heard some things about Han Li's "forged imperial edict".

Neither Wenxian nor Qingkong dared to be too explicit, but they could still express their general meaning without any problems.

Baiqiao simply couldn't deal with such an audacious person.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qu Jianlei simply smiled and pretended not to have heard the question.

Baiqiao disagreed and continued to discuss with the other party that Lingyun Sect disciples would be sent to patrol the area from now on.

This is a clever plan. For decades, it was Qu Jianlei and a few others who accompanied Qing Ning Zhenzun in protecting her.

Now that they've reached the stage of seclusion, Lingyun needs people to come and look after them, because the situation during this period is even more important for them.

How long will it take for the Azure Dragon to break through the barrier? It will take about ten to twenty years. Any small thing could lead to a change in the outcome.

This variable is not something any expert can calculate—at least the True Venerable could not, and even the Great Lord should be powerless to do anything about it.

In other words, Lingyun having to patrol here for so long isn't necessarily a bad thing for Qu Jianlei.

The good thing is that he can relax a bit and busy himself with other things.

As for the conditions for patrolling, such as the number of people on duty and their cultivation level, what they can and cannot do, that's something Qingning will discuss with Lingyun.

In fact, Qingning Zhenzun was too embarrassed to trouble Qu Zhenzun again, since Qu Zhenzun hadn't been present at all during those years.

So the two agreed on how to contact and negotiate once Qing'er officially begins her advancement, or if any unexpected events occur.

Then, Qu Jianlei completely let go of this place. This time, it's been almost twenty years, and it's time to go back and take a look.

However, this time, Han Li insisted on going back with him because it was said that there were still cultivators from outside the realm guarding Houde Realm.

The channels for cultivators from other realms to conquer other worlds have been opened, but they also face the problem of limited spots.

Houde strictly limits the number of True Venerables from beyond the realm, so it's impossible for them to allow low-level cultivators to flood in without restraint.

Fortunately, Ling Yun didn't need to worry about this; they simply provided a fixed quota and let the other party choose for themselves.

Cultivators from outside the realm originally came from across realms, but many of them are still stuck in the Houde Realm, so naturally they are not willing to accept this.

In recent years, in particular, there have been extraterrestrial beings traveling to and from other worlds, bringing back a lot of supplies.

Those cultivators from other realms who haven't reached another world won't easily return; most are waiting for their turn, while some take on side jobs doing cross-world business.

However, the one with the most resentment is said to be the extraterrestrial true venerable who was blocked by the quota.

The agreement between the outside world and the Houde Realm has been reached and cannot be changed, but there are still many True Venerables who have not left.

In short, there are no major problems overall, but the dissatisfaction among some cultivators from outside the region is quite serious.

So Qu Jianlei and Han Li left together, and their journey was surprisingly uneventful.

Qu Zhenzun went to Jiuyou Island first and found that the two women had not yet completely gone into seclusion.

He did some calculations, then took out two small pieces of tree root core and told them how to infuse the energy into them.

However, he also repeatedly emphasized that we must proceed step by step – this is something that a Nascent Soul cultivator should not be able to touch in the first place!
The Nascent Soul can comprehend the rules of creation because that involves perception and cognition, while Immersion is a real and tangible contact.

Even those who leave their physical body can glimpse the realm of the Divine Transformation, something that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators simply cannot handle.

In other words, it was only after the two women's lifespans were about to end that he, after conducting divination, decided to take out a small portion of it.

Fortunately, both women were quite confident. Jing Yuexin even stated that she would not consider immersing herself in the aura of creation for the time being.

Her goal wasn't to leave her body, but to strive for the Divine Transformation stage. Using this treasure ahead of time would raise the threshold for breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage!
Qu Jianlei could only nod in agreement. It was good to have such ambition; he couldn't very well jinx it, could he?
He is now trying to avoid the possibility that his words might become a self-fulfilling prophecy, since even the end of science is metaphysics, let alone cultivating immortality.
Then he couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really a bit overwhelmed... You two better get stronger soon."

This isn't even applying pressure. If two Nascent Soul cultivators who have been in the Nascent Soul stage for many years don't even have this much mental fortitude, how can they possibly attempt to break through to the Out-of-Body stage?
"By the way, there's another Nascent Soul cultivator," Duogan said with good news. "Xiangxue has successfully formed her Nascent Soul. We'll hold a celebration when you return."

The Nascent Soul Ceremony of Flower Scorpion was not held, and both women were waiting for Boss Qu to return.

It is said that Bentley advised Instructor Flower to hold a celebration during the tenth year.

Lao Ben's meaning is clear: there's no need to keep waiting for the boss to come back. Doing this will only increase the boss's psychological burden.

Boss Qu has already done enough for everyone. If we have to wait for him to come back and handle everything, does that mean we have to continue relying on him?
Every member of the team should strive to be a helpful assistant to the leader, rather than just someone who clings to the leader and can't do anything without him!

However, Flower Scorpion had a rare argument with Lao Ben, and the argument got so heated that they almost came to blows.

Instructor Hua said that all her progress, including her current ability to form a Nascent Soul, is thanks to the boss, and she must never forget her roots!

She will inevitably become a powerful ally to the boss, but this will not diminish her respect for him in the slightest!

At this point, Dorgon couldn't help but laugh, "Boss, whose attitude do you admire more?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and said, "If it weren't for Lao Ben saying it, I would probably be more supportive of Hua Xiezi's side."

There's no way around it; that's just human nature. Everyone prefers someone who respects them, and Hua Xiezi's statement wasn't exactly flattering.

But Bentley... that was to find him, secretly setting out in his warship and risking years of wandering alone in space.

Lao Ben showed his support through actions, while Hua Xiezi preferred to express it through blooming emotions.

Is this because men and women are different, or... because of different personalities?
Upon hearing this, Duo Gan chuckled and glanced at Jing Yuexin, "I've already asked for you!"

“I don’t mind her at all!” Boss Jing blushed, a rare occurrence for him. “We were just chatting casually, and it’s only you who took it seriously.”

"How could I not take it seriously?" Dorgon laughed even more happily. "I don't know who said that we should study divination techniques in detail."

“I’ve been studying divination,” Jing Yuexin said seriously. “Although I can’t compare to the boss, I won’t give up on catching up!”

Dogan continued to smile, her eyes narrowed. "Why do I feel like you're trying to predict when someone will be back?"

Qu Jianlei went away and came back nearly twenty years ago.

Fortunately, cultivators occasionally return from other worlds, bringing back some news about him, which prevents everyone from being too anxious.

As Qu Jianlei watched the two of them bickering, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart: This is my root!
His cultivation has progressed remarkably; Jing Yuexin, whom he could only look up to in the past, has now been left behind.

However, Jing Yuexin did not get discouraged and continued to strive to catch up. She not only persevered but also enjoyed the process.

The conflict between Lao Ben and Hua Xiezi was also a case of family members choosing different ways to show their protection and respect for each other.

Suddenly he realized that all the hardships and exhaustion he had complained about in private were really unnecessary.

At this moment, the sense of fulfillment he felt told him: all the hard work was really worth it!

Ultimately, those who cultivate the Tao are destined to be alone, just like ordinary people who experience birth, aging, sickness, and death; no one can escape it.

But now, he feels there's no need to think that far ahead; he's ultimately living in the present.

Cherish every beautiful moment in life, seize it and enjoy it, and that's enough.

Even if these comrades-in-arms will eventually return to dust—or perhaps he will meet with misfortune even sooner.

But he came into this world, experienced it, tried his best, and cherished all the beautiful things he could grasp. That's enough...

There's no need to force anything, just let things take their course!

Even if he himself were to perish in an accident before his teammates, so what? He has no regrets in this life!

Thinking this, he suddenly felt a light and ethereal energy surging from his sea of ​​consciousness to every part of his body.

Since the two people in front of him were definitely his own people, he immediately entered a meditative state without even releasing a clone.

"A sudden realization!" The two women were well aware of this: Boss, is he... able to improve at any time?
