Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2557 Stab on the head
Master Yulin stated that when Qu Zhenzun was still a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had already mastered the pseudo-divine power of time.

It is documented that Qu Zhenxian killed the departed soul in Cangwu.

If you don't believe me, you can go to Lingyun Sect and find out!
So, since even Nascent Soul cultivators can master minor time-related supernatural powers, is it really that difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator of extraordinary talent to appear in the Realm of Virtue?
Surely the dignified and virtuous upper realm is not inferior to the mere lower realm of Cangwu?
Several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hundred Friends Alliance died because of the excessively rapid flow of time, but who can prove that they were definitely killed by a True Venerable?
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator with the ability to manipulate time can do it!

Ultimately, since the killer's presence has been erased, Master Yulin's words cannot be considered baseless sophistry.

As for why the murderer was only a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he have completely obliterated his aura... Couldn't he have a True Venerable by his side?

The most likely reason the other party did this was to frame Qu Zhenzun!
As an instructor in the library, Yu Lin Zhen Xian not only understands the spirit of righteousness, but also has some knowledge of rhetoric such as "a white horse is not a horse".

Many things that are hard to explain don't need to be deliberately explained; just steer them towards conspiracy theories.

The readers' imaginations... the cultivators' imaginations are far greater than you can imagine; just let them fill in the blanks themselves.

For example, why was no one aware of such a brilliant genius who could master the minor supernatural power of time during the Nascent Soul stage?
Anyone who asks this kind of question is a complete idiot! Think about it carefully, why would you ask?
In short, cultivators in the Cangwu Realm launched a campaign to "rectify the name of True Venerable Qu".

They cannot tolerate the fact that the only Great Venerable from Cangwu is being deliberately smeared!
Originally, the sounds they could make were pitifully small—not to mention they came from the countryside, the highest level of cultivation they had was only Nascent Soul.

Unfortunately, Lingyun Sect provided proof: Qu Zhenzun did indeed possess the minor supernatural power of time when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

Ling Yun did not provide any other evidence to support the claims of the Cangwu cultivators, but does this matter... really need to be stated explicitly?

The argument below was quite heated, with each side having its own reasons, but the true masters' knowledge and intelligence were generally on point.

Regardless of whether Qu Zhenzun did it or not, with Lingyun Sect coming forward to prove it, even if it really was him... it must not be him!
At this critical moment, the True Venerable One disappeared again, and did not go to each sector to force the True Venerable One to take sides.

Half a month later, True Venerable Hanli emerged. Following Qu Jianlei's example, he continued to visit other True Venerables.

In fact, Qu Jianlei wanted to handle things himself. His disappearance for a period of time was simply to allow the situation to develop sufficiently.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to use the same trick again, Han Li stopped him.

Han Li said that this was both domineering and fun, and he also planned to try it out.

Qu Jianlei thought about it and realized that this approach had its advantages. After reminding the other party to be careful, he continued to hide.

And that's exactly what he thought.

Han Li visited the True Venerables, ostensibly to stand up for his friend—True Venerable Qu has been wronged, and I cannot tolerate it!
The reasons are indeed sufficient, but which true master would be so naive?
The story of Qu Zhenzun's setbacks in Zhanmeng Si had spread to some extent.

The subordinate of that True Venerable only informed his two friends, but which True Venerable doesn't have two or three friends?

Therefore, the deaths of those few Nascent Soul cultivators who survived the erosion of time can be seen as a silent threat.

Those who want to refuse to take sides, please think carefully. Qu Zhenzun is not a kind person!
Although Zhenzun had previously appeared quite magnanimous, that didn't necessarily mean he had a good personality; it was likely just a facade.

Isn't that right? The slightest setback, and they vent their anger with the passing of time.

This is an obvious hint: after his first setback, he went to kill outsiders; what about the second time?

As for the claim that a mysterious Nascent Soul possesses minor time-manipulation abilities? Anyone who believes that is a complete idiot!

Even if such a Nascent Soul cultivator truly existed, no True Venerable would be convinced that someone was plotting against them.

In short, Qu Jianlei's indirect threat was meant for those who understand the situation.

But when Han Li stepped in to force them to take sides, the situation changed again, and this was not just because Qu Zhenzun had gained an ally.

The fact that the two of them have a good relationship is known to most of the True Venerables in the Houde Realm.

Han Li's public intervention at this moment, while unexpected, was also reasonable.

The key issue is: Han Li has appeared, but Qu Zhenzun has disappeared—where did he go?
Considering that several Nascent Soul cultivators had died from the erosion of time, some True Venerables believed that True Venerable Qu was secretly preparing to make his move.

Promises like "we won't take action if we can't reach an agreement" were all made by Han Li. What do they have to do with Duo Bu Zhen Zun?
Of course, Qu Zhenzun might not be so ruthless.

But why did Han Li suddenly rush to the forefront, while Qu Zhenzun was nowhere to be found?

Please, their warning is so strong, if you don't understand it, you can't blame others if you get hurt.

So Han Li easily visited seven or eight sections without encountering any unexpected situations.

Of course, this is definitely related to his reputation, that much is undeniable.

As for which of the two poses a greater threat to the True Venerable, that's hard to say.

On this day, when Han Li arrived at Efeng No. 6, she finally encountered a bit of an accident.

This True Venerable One appeared as an avatar, and spoke very frankly: "My true body is exploring the void and will not return for more than a hundred years."

He said he regretted missing out on exploring another world.

But what he was most concerned about was, "I heard that you and Qu Zhenzun went to his door and forced Zhenzun to take sides. Is that considered a form of favor?"

This is an avatar facing Han Li, while the main body is wandering in the void, so there's basically no need to care too much about whether the opponent is strong or not.

“That’s one way to understand it,” Han Li nodded. “However, if your true form isn’t in Houde, it doesn’t mean much.”

"Then tell me," this person really had no reservations. "If it's suitable, I'll support you; if it's not, I'll remain neutral."

"Then you can just stay neutral," Han Li's temper wasn't much better than Qu Jianlei's, so he wasn't going to fall for that.
His aggression was even stronger: "Just don't help the Hundred Friends Alliance, are you sure that's your attitude?"

However, this True Venerable was also a man of temper, saying, "So what if I help the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li blinked and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Who's joking with you?" he replied coldly. "You weren't even born when I left my body."

"What good is virtue to me? Why should I accept it? Now that I'm pursuing a split spirit, I have to go to the void to find opportunities!"

Han Li paused for a moment, then asked, "May I ask, Senior Langmai, where did you leave your body?"

"I was in Houde when I left my body, so what?" This True Venerable clone named Langmai asked confidently.

"I couldn't even find a single fifth-tier spiritual vein when I was in a state of spiritual transformation. Luckily, I succeeded by chance. Do I owe anyone a debt of gratitude?"

Han Li was completely taken aback by these words, "You... you lack a bit of respect!"

He could actually imagine that this person's path of cultivation had not been smooth, otherwise he wouldn't be so full of resentment.

Honestly, it's quite rare for someone with this mindset to actually succeed in astral projection.

However, the world is full of wonders. The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. It is not surprising that some extraordinary and peculiar things will appear.

But no matter what, you successfully left your body in this realm, so how could you feel that virtue has nothing to do with you?
Even if there is no gratitude whatsoever, shouldn't there at least be some reverence?

"I've gotten to where I am today entirely through my own efforts," Langmai Zhenzun sneered. "But I'd like to ask you, who should we revere?"

"You can dislike me, and you can attack me, but it's just an avatar anyway. Guess if I'm scared or not?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li hesitated for a moment, silently repeating Qu Jianlei's name in his mind, "I want to get rid of him!"

The two had agreed beforehand that although they were forcing the True Lord to take sides, they would try their best not to resort to violence.

The reason is simple, and they are both very clear that this kind of operation is actually very stimulating to the True Venerable's senses.

When Han Li participated, he said that it felt very domineering and he wanted to "have some fun".

So as long as things are roughly the same, and the other party doesn't side with the Baiyou Business Alliance, and the related cause and effect are severed, they won't demand anything more.

However, this person completely provoked Han Li – not only did he openly state that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of siding with the other party, but his understanding of the situation was also flawed.

“I support you,” a divine sense transmitted in the next moment, Qu Jianlei had been secretly protecting him all along.

This practice of forcing each sector to choose a side may sound domineering and powerful, but it actually carries considerable potential risks.

If cultivators from outside the region are truly determined, they can simply choose a region and wait for their prey to come to them.

Of course, they also considered whether such regular visits might be a deliberate attempt to lure the other party into a trap, only to be met with a counterattack.

However, there is no doubt that this is a stage where fierce fighting is highly likely to break out, and it is extremely dangerous.

Qu Jianlei's covert protection was therefore quite necessary.

Han Li thought about it for a moment, and finally swallowed her anger. "Fine, you haven't taken any action yet, so I won't hold it against you."

"Besides, if I'm going to make a move, I'll wait for your true self to return. Bullying a mere clone... I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"Heh," the other party chuckled dismissively, but didn't say anything more.

After Han Li left, he was still a little resentful. "It's just that we saw he didn't have any practical experience, so it's not appropriate for us to punish him without teaching him, right?"

“Some statements, once made, are enough to warrant action,” Qu Jianlei replied casually.

"Have you noticed that he includes the word 'I' in almost every sentence he speaks?"

“Uh, that’s true,” Han Li thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"This guy is too self-centered. Even if Houde wasn't good enough, he still helped him leave his body. How can he not show any mercy?"

"He thought it was all due to his own efforts," Qu Jianlei said, somewhat speechless. Some people are really used to being selfish.

"Doesn't he even consider that only a fraction of Houde's souls have actually left the body?"
