Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2543 Dilemma
The giant axe traveled at a considerable speed, but unfortunately, it only received directional guidance, not distance information.

If we push the compass a little harder, the approximate distance shouldn't be too much of a problem, but Qu Jianlei felt it wasn't necessary.

When this guy is disobedient, he should be disciplined, but since this is the first time we're working together, there's no need to exploit him too much.

Searching along the direction will definitely affect the speed to some extent.

Fortunately, the ritual implement also possesses a powerful ability to perceive cause and effect. Once it locks onto the direction, it senses the path along the way and doesn't slow down much.

After traveling for more than an hour, Qu Jianlei discovered that half of the Creation Rules had been absorbed, so he decisively resealed and stored them away.

The compass was clearly still a bit reluctant, and when he sealed it, it sucked hard twice.

However, a treasure at the Divine Transformation level is no joke, especially since it has undergone the transformation of creation.

Once the seal was complete, it stopped absorbing and ceased all further reaction.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, put away the compass, and then rested himself.

He did not experience a battle, but the damage caused by the influence of the laws of creation was greater than that of participating in a battle.

Just as he released his illusory form and his true body entered the cave to rest, his volatile obsession gave him an extra reminder.

"Take a good look at yourself. If there is any possibility that you could become a resource for creation, you must deal with it as soon as possible!"

The rules of creation are a double-edged sword.

If used properly, it can greatly benefit one's spiritual path; however, if it is used in the opposite way, the consequences can be extremely terrible!
Qu Jianlei was well aware of this as well; once affected by fate, it would be even worse than the transformation of the Dao by the pot-shaped object.

However, after entering the cave, he sensed it repeatedly but found nothing obviously amiss.

There were indeed some internal injuries, but they were the kind of injuries that could be repaired quickly and did not require long-term rest.

However, as nature transforms the body, some changes are bound to occur, and he will have to slowly perceive the consequences of these changes.

Most importantly, his intuition didn't sense much danger, which greatly reassured him.

Now, his intuition is somewhat influenced by the aura of the Yunzi Dao Stele, which has greatly enhanced his ability to predict risks.

Qu Jianlei did not believe that his perception could be significantly flawed when he was not poisoned.

Judging solely from the source of its energy, the Yunzi Daobei stele should be superior to the compass, right?

In fact, Qu Jianlei didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his mind was clearer.

In short, this move was his own choice, and he accepted the consequences of his actions.

Two days later, the raging obsession transmitted its divine sense: The attacker's hiding place... has been found!

The hiding place is not far from the Wine Immortal area; it is a section called "Jieran".

As the name suggests, this area is relatively quiet and far from other areas.

However, in reality, although this area is remote, it is large enough and rich in resources.

Not to mention, there are three fifth-order spiritual veins alone. In Lingyun's hierarchy, they would be at least Zhanmeng, if not Efeng.

Interestingly, Lingyun Sect occupies one of these three spiritual veins, where they established the "Jilan Villa".

Strictly speaking, it's just an office; there's no real leader stationed there at all.

At most, it's just that a True Venerable from the Lingyun system is passing by, choosing to rest here for a while and recuperate.

The main attackers were hiding in the market area not far from the secluded villa.

It has a bit of the feeling of "a minor hermit lives in the wilderness, a middle hermit lives in the city".

The other party should have sensed that the main spirit has dissipated, but there is no movement at the moment, and it is still obediently staying in the market.

This reaction seems a bit strange, but it's actually quite normal.

Because what went out to ambush was not only the main soul, but also the clones and puppets controlled by other clones.

The destruction of the main god's soul is indeed terrible, but the death of the main force does not mean that the ambush has failed.

With such a wealth of methods, the chances of failing in an ambush against a True Venerable are not high.

Moreover, so what if we fail? The secrets of heaven have already been obscured; those methods are not something an ordinary True Venerable can break through.

Even if it breaks through, there will be corresponding perceptions. When things develop to that point, do you really think Ling Yun's name is just for show?
So this person's idea was probably to sit back and wait for the results of the battle to be reported back.

Using stillness to control movement is a good option, and his current situation is not dangerous at all.

In the face of great events, composure is essential; the more elite the hunter, the more likely they are to possess this calmness.

If you panic and act recklessly before your adversary has found any clues, wouldn't you be courting death?

In fact, what he thought wasn't much different.

The giant axe had been pursuing him all the way, and when it reached a certain distance, it sensed his presence and almost rushed straight at him to take his life.

Fortunately, it was the irritable obsession that knew about the ritual implements and informed Qu Jianlei of the illusory figure outside the cave in advance.

Qu Zhenzun was not in a deep rest. Upon hearing the news, he came out and put away his giant axe.

This time, the collection was a bit difficult, as the ritual objects showed some obvious resistance.

Perhaps because he had been in contact with the compass too much, Qu Jianlei actually read the meaning of "I don't want to go back until I beat this guy to a pulp".

Qu Jianlei could only mutter to himself, "Let's see how things go. If we make too much of a fuss, it'll be my fault."

Sure enough, it was quite amazing. Upon hearing this, the giant axe stopped moving.

Qu Jianlei didn't think that this person would necessarily understand what he was saying, but he believed that the person's perception of the relevant cause and effect should be fine.

Therefore, most high-level treasures have not developed sentience, but they have a strong sense of cause and effect.
The saying "divine things conceal themselves" clearly falls under the category of causality.

If that's the case, then the naturally formed Dao talisman that concealed itself as a divine object was something that Qu sensed, so perhaps it shouldn't belong to Wenxian?

However, it's all in the past, and there's no point in dwelling on it now.

As Qu Jianlei pondered this, he approached the Jieran Plate.

Then he concealed his aura, found a secluded place, and used his phantom to quietly sneak in.

Ordinary areas are not immune to the secret arrival of a True Venerable, but this place is quite lively and also has Lingyun's villa.

Putting aside the question, we should at least give Lingyun Sect some face, shouldn't we? It wouldn't look good if it were discovered later.

As it turns out, being careful was definitely the right thing to do.

This area not only has strict perimeter security, but also several large security centers on the ground to prevent emergencies.

Qu Jianlei reverted to his true form and, based on the opponent's remaining aura, spent two days locking onto his target.

Although this person lives in seclusion in the city, the place where he hides is in a rather impoverished neighborhood.

This person has suppressed their cultivation to the Golden Core stage, making them one of the few Golden Core cultivators in this district.

However, this neighborhood is very close to the bustling area of ​​the market, but the spiritual veins here have a break, so the spiritual energy is not very strong.

As long as a Golden Core cultivator doesn't cause trouble, no one will bother them in this kind of place.

Qu Jianlei had a scent on his hand. He had spent two days searching for this person, all for the sake of secrecy.

After all, the other party is also a True Venerable, and definitely the kind that is very vigilant.

Fortunately, he was careful enough not to use divination at all, but rather relied on the perception brought by the concept of fate and destiny, sensing it in the darkness.

This method of searching is not universally applicable when facing a true master; ultimately, it's still a case of someone trying to outwit someone who isn't.

Moreover, the other party had just plotted against him, and the causal relationship was terrifyingly strong. Even though it was somewhat obscured, he could still sense it at such a close distance.

After finding the main target, Qu Jianlei sensed the surrounding market area and found that the security was quite tight.

Routine vigilance doesn't necessarily make one nervous, but once seriousness is unleashed, its power should not be underestimated.

The Lingyun Sect's reputation is well-deserved; even a small courtyard here boasts such grand scale.

But if that's the case... Qu Jianlei thought about it and decided it was better not to take action himself.

The next moment, he quietly retreated and left the plate without a sound.

However, this time, he had completely locked onto the other party, so his trip wasn't in vain.

After entering the starry sky, he retreated to a distance of about 200 million kilometers from the solitary plate, and sensing that there was no one around, he took out the ritual artifact.

Since it's a precise lock-on, the giant axe can definitely be used.

Qu Jianlei chose to act in the early hours of the morning, as this would ensure the best results and minimize the impact.

The giant axe did not attack directly, but instead released a phantom image, shaped like a short arrow, which disappeared into the starry sky.

When the short arrow reappeared, it was already high in the sky above the slumped street, shooting swiftly towards a courtyard.

The short arrow appeared abruptly, yet carried an indescribable immense power, instantly awakening countless cultivators.

This imposter, who was actually a Golden Core cultivator, hadn't rested at all and had maintained a high level of vigilance.

He has been feeling vaguely uneasy lately, but he thinks this is probably a normal reaction.

After all, he had just completed such a large deal, and even a true master like him couldn't completely control his emotions.

Moreover, at this moment, his divided soul is not as strong as his main soul.

When he realized that the suddenly appearing short arrow was a targeted attack, he was terrified and tried to flee at all costs.

He had originally prepared multiple escape methods, such as a secret and efficient teleportation array that could be activated at any time.

However, the attack came too suddenly, without any warning, and was exceptionally powerful.

He was somewhat surprised, because this was not only a livable area where the True Venerable could not act casually, but also had a villa belonging to Lingyun.

Even the most unscrupulous True Venerable would have to think twice before making a move; Ling Yun could not tolerate such provocation.

In other words, even a lawless True Venerable Hunter like him wouldn't dare to do that.

At this moment, he had no time to use any of his prepared backup plans, and could only choose to escape in a flash.

When he decides to teleport, he can no longer suppress the aura of leaving his body.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about that—say nothing, escaping was the priority!

And so, a fleeting aura of spiritual energy passed through this dilapidated neighborhood.
