Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2541 The left hand turns to the right hand

A compass? Qu Jianlei was a little taken aback. This thing should be suitable, but the problem was that he didn't know how to use it.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Does the senior know how to control it?"

“The word ‘control’ is a bit rash,” the hot-tempered man corrected him. “It’s not too late to say that after you’ve been distracted.”

Qu Jianlei became curious, "Did it... did that senior have sentience?"

If it has any sense, it should know that it was you who saved it from the hands of the Chaos Wood Spirit, right?

“I’m not so sure about that,” the hot-tempered obsession answered bluntly. “I don’t know much about it either.”

"However, it is best not to neglect such a treasure, as it is not surprising that it may develop sentience in the future given its inherent qualities."

So it's a treasure at the Nascent Soul level! Qu Jianlei confirmed the general situation of the compass and then nodded.

"Okay, I understand the importance of reverence... but how do I ask the treasure to help me?"

Actually, he had some doubts in his heart. Given the level of the Creation Compass, was it a bit of a mistake to use it as a vanguard in a ritual artifact?

“I don’t really understand that,” the irritable obsession answered decisively, thankfully it was he who made the suggestion.

But then he immediately suggested, "Why don't you try the rules of creation?"

The rules of creation... Qu Jianlei's lips twitched upon hearing this. The three rules of creation that True Venerable Xiaoyou owed him had not yet been obtained!
With Dorgon's final adjustments, he did obtain that rule of creation, but it was only the one.

And this thing... does it even work on the Creation Compass? The Creation Aura of that other thing is overflowing.

However, there doesn't seem to be a better way right now. The key is to take down the main body as soon as possible, otherwise it's easy for the news to leak out.

Qu Jianlei nodded. "Then I'll try to communicate with them."

The next moment, he took out the compass, but unfortunately, the other party did not respond to his thoughts at all.

Qu Jianlei then took out the rules of creation and approached the compass, wanting to see its reaction.

The rules were sealed, but he opened a small crack to make it easier for the other party to perceive them.

The compass seemed to react somewhat, but then again, it didn't. Compared to its previous indifference, it felt somewhat different.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then activated the faint, almost imperceptible sense of creation within his body.

Previously, in this state, he was able to have some vague connection with the Creation Compass.

That feeling was neither good nor bad; it was simply that a faint bridge had been built between the two.

However, in the past, in this state, he was unable to actively transmit his thoughts to the other party; as soon as a thought arose, the bridge would be severed.

This time was no exception; he had only made one attempt when the compass stopped working again.

In such cases, it usually takes one or two days for the two parties to re-establish that subtle connection.

This is also why Qu Jianlei didn't try this approach at first; he only wanted the compass to perceive the rules of creation on its own.

Now that we've tried it... we'll have to wait again.

However, time waits for no one. Qu Jianlei looked up at the giant axe in the air.

The giant axe has stopped shaking, but only because it has been stopped by the heroic spirits.

Should they forcefully break through the hidden secrets of heaven using the ritual artifact? Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment.

He did not want this incident to create a causal link with his profound moral character—which would most likely be negative.

Putting aside the fact that ritual objects are inherently incompatible with this realm, forcibly breaking through the secrets of heaven would not have a positive impact.

However, Qu Jianlei really didn't want to expose the Dao Stele, so bearing some karmic consequences for it didn't seem like such a big price to pay.

I just don't know what the giant axe will pay for this operation. If the cost is too high, then it's not worth it.

As he was making plans, a strange feeling suddenly came over him: the connection between himself and the compass had actually been re-established!

This time it really didn't take long. Qu Jianlei's mind raced, and sure enough, the rules of creation were still somewhat useful.

However, he will no longer actively transmit his thoughts; he will simply remain in this state while considering what he should try.

About ten minutes later, he could vaguely sense that a new causal line had been established between himself and the Compass of Creation.

This causal line is extremely weak, so thin that it could be broken with a single breath, and it is completely imperceptible if you are not paying attention.

However, in addition to the old causes and effects, new ones have emerged, which is a good thing!

Qu Jianlei raised his hand without making a sound and did some quick calculations.

How could fate be so easily predicted? But he still understood!

He vaguely realized that the compass still favored the rules of creation.

The compass is supposed to only involve celestial secrets, not creation, but this treasure, by a twist of fate, received a stroke of luck from creation.

Therefore, it also became close to all kinds of creation, and only after accumulating a lot did changes occur.

Unfortunately, it was discovered by the Chaos Wood Spirit, who recognized its value and wanted to seize its destiny.

To be honest, Mu Ling's cultivation level is not even at the Nascent Soul stage, so it's unfair to bully someone at the Nascent Soul stage like this.

But one can move, and the other cannot; one has consciousness, and the other does not!
So the Wood Spirit began his attempt to swallow an elephant like a snake.

It is especially worth mentioning that Wood Spirits have a strong natural ability to recover and are not afraid of injury.

Not to mention, this one is a Wood Spirit of the Chaos level!
After several setbacks, the Wood Spirit finally trapped the Creation Compass and began to slowly seize and absorb the aura of creation.

If the Daobei (a type of ancient Chinese stele) considers it a demon, then this action would indeed be considered demonic.

The aura of creation on the roots of the ugly tree was not something that the compass actively released to permeate it; rather, it originated from being seized!
However, it's still the same analogy: it's like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—it's very difficult to digest!
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the compass has not lost much of its original aura.

The compass naturally wants to absorb the essence of creation from the outside world, but after being bullied for tens of thousands of years, it feels somewhat like a PISD (Physical Impairment).

Faced with the rules of creation laid out before it, it dared not react in any way—though it longed for them, it was also potentially dangerous.

The compass did not develop sentience, but even divine objects at the Out-of-Body level know how to conceal themselves, let alone one that has already developed a divided spirit.

It wants it but doesn't dare to; in its dilemma, it reacts with its instinctive consciousness.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei had saved it earlier. Although it was mindless, the cause and effect between the two would influence its reaction.

Qu Jianlei learned of these circumstances through divination and made a half-guessing, half-guessing conclusion, but fortunately, it passed the causal verification.

Strictly speaking, causal verification isn't that precise. As long as there's no obvious violation of the law of causality, there won't be any anomalies.

Qu Jianlei knew this too, but there was nothing he could do. What could he do when facing a being without mind?
The next question is how to use the rules of creation to make the compass lower its guard and lend a helping hand.
Fortunately, Qu Jianlei has been conducting various experiments for many years and is very familiar with various methodologies.

The most valuable thing is that the compass has at least some response, so the rest of the process is much easier.

Although it's inconvenient to directly calculate the answer, the correct answer can be deduced little by little by using the process of elimination and causal verification.

It took him more than an hour to find a relatively correct answer.

The compass felt that it was safer for him to first absorb the rules of creation and then pass on the aura of creation to himself.

In retrospect, it was due to the fact that he had killed the Chaos Wood Spirit under the influence of the Dao Stele's energy.

The compass is somewhat trustworthy, but the rules of destiny that are handed to you... are not to be trusted!
I'm genuinely grateful for your trust! Qu Jianlei was truly speechless: You want me to absorb the rules of creation?

Perhaps he will possess this ability when he reaches the peak of the Out-of-Body stage, but now... is that realistic?

However, there's really no way around it. The compass only recognizes this method. Despite its high level of expertise, we've been burned countless times.

It's understandable that a powerful Nascent Soul Treasure would be cowardly taken by a Nascent Soul level being for tens of thousands of years.

But I really can't absorb the rules of creation... Qu Jianlei said: This is way too far beyond my understanding!

Fortunately, he had companions, such as the irritable obsession, who was always curious about how he could drive the compass.

Even if this senior is already a heroic spirit, it won't be of any use no matter how much knowledge he possesses, but this is the instinct to seek knowledge.

In fact, Qu Jianlei was negotiating with the other party about what to eliminate next while using the process of elimination.
The hot-tempered and obsessive man, worthy of having lived so long, pondered for a moment after learning of his predicament before speaking.

"You can try it, with rules in your left hand and destiny in your right... just think of yourself as a bridge."

“Bridge…” Qu Jianlei understood a little, because he had also experienced that state, depression!
"Is it actually just afraid of contact with the unfamiliar outside world?"

“Yes,” the hot-tempered senior was truly knowledgeable. “It’s easy to comprehend creation, but too difficult to absorb it. One might very well become creation itself.”

"You don't need to absorb it, just give it your trust... that might be enough."

Is this... alright? Qu Jianlei was still a little doubtful, but after looking up at the giant axe, he made up his mind: Let's take a gamble.

If he doesn't try, then we'll have to rely on the ritual implements, which is bad for both him and the ritual implements.

However, when he actually did it, he was surprised to find that it actually worked!

The sealed rules of creation were only slightly opened, and the amount of rules of creation that could flow into his hands was pitifully small.

However, the compass in the right hand really didn't mind. As soon as it discovered that the left hand had come into contact with the rules of creation, it immediately started to absorb them desperately.

It really is a case of transferring money from one hand to the other!
The suction force penetrated Qu Jianlei's entire body; one can only say... he truly deserves to be a being at the Nascent Soul level.

Qu Jianlei had been holding the two objects casually, but the powerful suction made him involuntarily open his arms instantly.

There's no way to describe that tangy, unpleasant feeling; only those who have experienced it truly understand!
Why are the arms outstretched? Because only in this way can the energy from the left side be transferred to the right side most quickly.

The key is: the transmission channel must be straight! Once it turns a corner, damn it... it really hurts, it hurts so much you want to die!

This kind of thing actually happened to a Nascent Soul Grandmaster? Family members, who would believe it?
