Chapter 2531 You're Lying

As Xiao You spoke, Han Li quietly sent out a divine sense, "This guy's pedantry... is on par with yours."

“Nonsense,” Qu Jianlei retorted without hesitation, “I’m much more hard-hearted now!”

"Tch," Han Li said dismissively, "I think you two... seem to be destined for each other."

“It’s fate…” Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, but still subconsciously answered, “I have good teeth, I can’t live off a woman.”

Whether it's fate or not, he can't say for sure, but to meet someone who also possesses the power of time travel is truly rare.

The key difference is that the other person's lifespan is significantly different from one's own.

If we can exchange ideas and seek common ground while reserving differences, we can definitely greatly enhance the power of time.

This kind of help is something that even heroic spirits cannot provide; it would be impossible for him not to be moved.

What's even more remarkable is that the other person is also very young, so if they become Daoist partners, they can go a long way together.

But Daoist partners... It's fine for male cultivators like Han Li, but it's troublesome for female cultivators. How would Jing Yuexin feel if she knew?
If Boss Jing fails to break through... never mind, what the hell am I thinking?
It's absolutely impossible now, the two aren't familiar with each other, and he dislikes the fact that the other person has a powerful master.

"Living off a woman?" Han Li was a little confused, clearly not understanding the joke.

Just then, Xiao You waved his hand and released a huge warship, as big as five legion-level warships.

The warships were not only large, but also incredibly luxurious, with an appearance that was shimmering with jewels and exuding an aura of opulence.

"Thank you all for your hard work, and I am very grateful for your help, fellow Daoists. Shall we go and take a rest?"

"This thing is too wasteful..." Before Song Yue'er could even finish saying the word "wasteful," Han Li glared at her coldly.

This is really a waste, but since it's a treat from the disciple of the Divine Lord, it doesn't seem like much.

Colin Zhenzun also showed some hesitation, clearly having the same thought.

He had truly experienced how convenient and...economical ordinary warships could be!
He even learned how to operate mortal warships along with other True Venerables.

However, in the end, he did not persist, because True Venerable Xiaoyou had been trapped in the Silent Zone for many years.

Life in the quiet zone is not only boring, but more importantly, the future is extremely uncertain, so no one would indulge in unrestrained enjoyment.

So at this moment, True Venerable Xiaoyou must have been holding back for too long, so let's relax for a bit and not spoil the fun.

However, although the warship looks luxurious on the outside, the interior is relatively simple, and even the space is very spacious.

Xiao Youzhen first stated that the conditions were very ordinary, but he was just used to it and had neglected his distinguished guest.

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "Qu Zhenzun, where are you in such a hurry to go? I can take you there."

"If we rush over now, the daylilies will be too cold!" Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly.

He raised his hand to do some calculations, then let out a soft breath. As it stands, Qing Ning's condition is stable.

Qinglong is currently in the process of advancing to the next level, so he dares not easily perform divination. This divination can also be seen as a response to Qingning.

I received your message, but I can't get there right now. I'm just letting you know first, and I'll contact you again if anything comes up.

Then he looked at Han Li—your suitor, you deal with him!

Han Li had worked with him for so long that he could tell from just a glance that Qing Ning was probably alright—otherwise, she wouldn't be reacting like this.

Since that's the case, there's no need for everyone to be in such a hurry for now. He looked at the other person and said, "The opportunity has already passed..."

"But that's not important. What's important is that you seem to have a companion who has lost contact in this star system."

He was naturally referring to that unlucky old True Venerable, who was skilled in divination but had fallen behind the group because he had to compete with Qingkong for the rearguard position.

Colin Zhenzun had always kept this person in mind, and upon hearing this, he quickly nodded.

"Hmm, I can smell his scent. He's still alive, but his condition doesn't seem to be... particularly good."

The aura of a True Venerable cannot be easily grasped, but since we are on an adventure together, it is naturally a different story.

“That’s what I think too,” Xiaoyou Zhenzun nodded. She had never met the old Zhenzun, but she had heard others mention him countless times.

After the two sides reunited, and after spending so much time in the quiet zone, they must have some topics to talk about in their daily lives, right?
She couldn't help but worry when the old True Venerable, whom she had teamed up to rescue, suddenly went missing.

However, the process of this person's disappearance may not have been normal. Although Xiaoyou Zhenzun was young, he was not stupid and felt that he should not bring it up himself.

Since it was Houde Xiuzhe who made the suggestion, she would naturally agree without hesitation.

Then she brought up another matter, "Shouldn't we talk about... the cost of the rescue?"

“With your deep pockets, we’re not in a hurry,” the handsome young man said calmly.

"You should have felt the method Qu Zhenzun used to break through the Silent Zone at the end... It's best not to tell anyone."

“I understand,” Xiaoyou Zhenzun nodded. “Elephants burn themselves with their tusks, and clams split their bodies with pearls.”

"Then you should shut up!" Han Li said bluntly. "If you understand, then you have to say more!"

Xiao Youzhen felt humiliated. "You're not qualified to lecture me, are you?"

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei, "Qu Zhenzun, you should be the one to propose the conditions."

"Han Li's meaning is my meaning," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "You state your conditions first... it's five True Venerables."

He may not like business, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand it. The one who sets the conditions first is definitely the passive party.

Xiao Youzhen thought for a moment, then looked at Colin, "Let's find someone first, so as not to delay our conversation."

No one disagreed with this point; even Han Li made a divination.

The divination results indicate that this poor old True Venerable is still trapped in the chaotic energy cluster. It must have been tough for him all these years.

This energy cluster has a significant impact on divination.

Fortunately, this time, there were so many True Venerables gathered that it was possible to perform divination almost continuously.

It only took the group half a month to find the old master.

The key point is that this person is also alert. Although his spiritual energy has been depleted by more than half and his spirit is weak, he still retains considerable perception.

When he vaguely sensed that someone was trying to predict his fate, he immediately cheered up and started to predict the other person's fate in return.

People must help themselves before Heaven will help them. If he is willing to cooperate, it will be much easier for others to save him.

In short, he spent more than four years in the chaotic energy cluster. On the surface, he was doing alright, but his body was severely depleted.

He later said that he also lost a clone, but that's another story.

But when he heard that the rescue team had rushed into the quiet zone, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement, "Wow, you guys are really lucky!"

On the way back, Colin cautiously noted: "We encountered some enormous energy clusters on our way here."

Those energy clusters are a bit hard to see through; there might be something inside... I wonder what True Venerable Yue Ran thinks?

Yue Ran said she couldn't make the decision herself and it depended on Xiao You's opinion—after all, this experience was too stimulating.

These five True Venerables stayed in the Silent Zone for nearly twenty years before they were finally rescued.

It's impossible to say there wasn't some psychological trauma, let alone... Xiaoyou probably hasn't experienced many similar hardships.

Although the True Venerable has a long lifespan and is still young, twenty years is indeed not a short time.

Logically, even if one wants to take a risk, one should go back and prepare more methods, and adjust one's mood and state of mind before coming again.

However, Houde has already issued an ultimatum: this is the last time. From now on, the True Venerable of All Things shall not be allowed to enter the Maiden Starfield.

The entire universe doesn't necessarily need to unconditionally acknowledge this, but related verbal disputes will certainly continue for quite some time.

Fortunately, Xiaoyou Zhenzun's emotions were relatively stable. She said she would discuss it with Qu Zhenzun to see if it was feasible.

After all, their adventure is not completely over yet—they are still in the Girl Starfield, aren't they?

Qu Jianlei expended a considerable amount of energy when he finally broke through the Silent Zone, and this doesn't even take into account the power of time.

His illusory form remained outside, while his true body had already returned to the cave to recuperate.

Upon hearing the other party's request, his illusory figure retorted expressionlessly, "Have you had enough of exploiting loopholes?"

"I'm just here to ask for your opinion," Xiaoyou said casually, seemingly unconcerned about the other person's opinion of her.

She naturally changed the subject, "Never mind then. By the way, what would happen if you opened your right eye?"

“Of course, the power of the Time Divine Power is doubled,” the phantom replied without hesitation. “That would be against the natural order and bad for my path.”

"You're lying!" Xiaoyou said without hesitation. "Are you underestimating my ability to perceive cause and effect?"

Han Li watched their conversation with a cold eye, remaining silent.

“There’s no need to be so curious,” the phantom neither admitted nor denied. “Everyone has a little privacy, right?”

"How about this," Xiaoyou thought for a moment and said, "let's have a contest of supernatural powers. If I win, I can explore those locations."

Qu Jianlei was truly helpless. "Do you want to explore, or have you been holding back, trying to challenge my age?"

He strongly suspected that the other party was simply unwilling to accept defeat and had wanted to compete with Houde as early as twenty years ago.

As for seeking opportunities, they have a great master, so they might not value such small opportunities too much.

Previously, Qu Jianlei thought that the battle between supernatural powers was a fight, and he felt that the opponent's challenge was quite absurd - a battle between the supernatural powers of time?
However, after breaking through the silent zone this time, with the supernatural powers of the two supernatural powers combined, he realized that supernatural powers are not necessarily used for combat!

By choosing the same goal and applying the same power of time, one can determine who is superior.

Of course, using supernatural powers in a non-combat state is inevitably too rigid.

But while he opened his eyes quickly, the other person's cherry lips parted slightly, and it seemed she wasn't much slower...

Even so, Qu Jianlei still disliked this kind of boring competition—it would at least consume the world's core.

He has already absorbed most of the world's core; the remaining portion is what he needs to use his Time Divine Power.

Ultimately, he has only been a True Venerable for a few decades, and his foundation is still too weak.
