Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2588 Not Strong
"Resurrection?" Upon hearing this, the consciousness on the other side visibly trembled, and then a sudden pressure descended.

"Heh," Han Li sneered, and the palace went straight to meet them. Although he wasn't very skilled at it, his purpose was clear.

The oppressive aura collided with the palace, but no obvious fluctuations occurred.

On the contrary, it was as if all the energy had vanished in an instant, leaving nothing but calm.

Then, as if nothing had happened, the person on the other end casually remarked, "Truly worthy of being a successor of destiny."

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was completely bewildered. He couldn't even utter a second syllable—who were they talking about, the successor of Creation...?
"The successor of Creation?" The other four True Venerables looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell was this?

Jin Ge coughed lightly, "Damn... these alien races really have no culture."

“This matter cannot be left like this,” Han Li said coldly. “Let’s kill this bastard first.”

Others might not respond to what he said. The "this guy" you're referring to is probably just distracted, right?

Putting aside whether it's easy or difficult to kill a distracted spirit, and what the consequences would be if it weren't killed properly, let me ask you this: what makes you so confident in saying this?
However, Qu Jianlei was able to handle this comment, saying calmly, "Don't worry about it, it's just an obsession!"

He was absolutely certain of this because... he had a lot of experience dealing with obsessions.

He was even certain that this obsession had been dormant and should have dissipated without him realizing it.

However, the spider brought back the ugly tree root imbued with the aura of creation, forcefully awakening this obsession.

Is it strange? Not at all. The wonders of creation are ever-changing. This thing is useful to the demigod spider, and it was also useful to its ancestor.

Therefore, this ancestor was forcibly awakened, and was the kind of person who received care in a time of crisis.

This word doesn't carry any negative connotation; rather, it means that if you're not awakened, you'll never wake up again!
Qu Zhenzun was the first to realize this, and Han Li was no less quick to react, thinking that killing him would not be a problem.

However, after Qu Jianlei finished speaking, he felt it was unnecessary. "It will dissipate sooner or later, there's no need to create this karma."

"You're quite arrogant," Zhi Nian said, somewhat annoyed. "You make it sound like you can easily take me down."

But it didn't care too much, thinking, "Never mind, I won't bother with you."

"This is my lower-level divine consciousness, which will soon replace me. Do not disturb me unless necessary."

Given its cultivation level, which is almost at the Nascent Soul stage, making this request wouldn't be considered too demanding.

However, what Qu Jianlei cared about was, "Let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about the last transaction, how did I trick you?"

Zhi Nian remained silent for a while before replying, "A mere few wisps of creation energy... you've indeed struck gold."

"Merely?" Qu Jianlei asked, dissatisfied. "Then I can also say, what does my own spider silk mean to you?"

There is never a fixed price for trading treasures; it must be analyzed within the specific context.

To put it simply, if there were no tapirs in this world, what would be the price of protecting the rules?
The other party may have been exposed to the aura of creation before, but when was that? And what is the current situation?
"If it weren't for me..." Zhi Nian was still a little dissatisfied, but finally said, "I can help find that guy, two dollars isn't enough!"

It was clearly worldly-wise, yet the aura of creation is indeed something that cannot be sought after.

So in the end, it all boils down to bargaining.

This is precisely why Qu Jianlei is so serious; he wants to continue trading.

“If there’s any more, you’ll have to step in and help,” he said seriously. “Yes, your lower-level divine sense will have to be activated!”

Because of the heroic spirits, he felt a certain fondness for all his obsessions, extending to everything related to them.

Although the other party spoke domineeringly, there was actually not much real malice in their words, and he had no intention of letting his obsession dissipate inexplicably.

"Help...you guys have managed to snatch the Divine Transformation Treasure," this obsession is truly extraordinary, as he can actually see the cause and effect of the palace.

"Whether it's deployed or not, there's not much need for it!"

However, immediately afterward, the almost real spider began to move its forelimbs again, and its hind limbs also began to jump.

"Stop fooling around!" Obsession scolded it. "That guy is not easy to deal with!"

The spider's movements suddenly slowed down, but after a pause, it began to wave its forelimbs and hindlimbs again.

This feeling is a bit strange; the obsession feels like you're talking to yourself, yet you're also resisting your own thoughts.

At the same time, he is like a boy who has never left home, full of curiosity and a desire to explore the outside world.

"Let it get some fresh air," Qingkong sensed the spider's intention.

"Tsk..." Obsession sighed helplessly, "I'll go, but I need fifty times as many tree roots as before!"

Fifty times... The other four people didn't react, and all looked at Qu Zhenzun.

Given this person's behavior, no one really knows whether their asking price is too high, so they can't offer to help.

"This is outrageous!" Qu Jianlei's face darkened. Fifty times the original amount, he had to hand over about half of the remaining ugly tree roots!
He believed that there was a very high probability that the other party was not just talking nonsense, but had actually figured out his inventory.

That's normal; after all, their cultivation level is high. It's not unusual for them to have some techniques at the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, he would absolutely not accept such an exorbitant demand, and said in a deep voice, "Ten times, any more than that, and we'll turn around and leave!"

“Deal,” Obsession declared without hesitation. “Since there are so few of them, they won’t be the main fighting force!”

"Damn, we've lost a lot of money," Jin Ge couldn't help but mutter.

"Who said that?" Zhi Nian was displeased upon hearing this. "I agreed because I was worried that he would turn around and leave."

So this person not only has high cultivation level, but also relatively linear thinking, and is indeed... a childlike heart.

Qu Jianlei didn't dwell on whether he was at a loss or not; the other party agreed readily, so he was naturally happy to accept it as well.

He took out the ugly tree root and handed it to the other person, then casually asked, "What does 'Child of Creation' mean?"

"Child of Creation... what is that?" Obsession asked in astonishment, while at the same time, the spider swiftly retracted the tree root.

"Isn't that going too far?" Han Li said, a little annoyed. "You just said that."

“No, I didn’t say that!” Obsession denied it very decisively. “You must have misheard me.”

"I said, you are a senior, after all..." Qingkong was a little dissatisfied.

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei waved his hand. The other party was already obsessed with it, yet he still went back on his word.

Based on his understanding of obsession, there must be a lot more to this than meets the eye. "May I ask, senior, how did your Zerg come into this world?"

"This..." Zhi Nian hesitated for a moment before asking, "What was the last question?"

The five True Venerables looked at it in unison, without saying a word.

After a long silence, the spider stammered out a divine thought, "That...the Child of Creation!"

“I won’t answer either of these questions,” Zhi Nian stated bluntly. “Some karmic connections are too dangerous to be involved in, not even with more money!”

That's more like it... The Five True Venerables were speechless. Finally, Han Li asked, "One last question: Who is the Child of Creation?"

Without hesitation, Zhi Nian answered, "A tree root!"

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei tossed another ugly tree root over, thinking to himself that this guy hadn't eaten any fine food either...

"Is that even a question?" The spider quickly retracted the tree root, but Obsession answered slowly, "Creation tempering the body, isn't that enough?"

"This is... blatant robbery!" Han Li muttered angrily.

“It’s not necessarily true,” Zhi Nian replied calmly. “But let me offer a word of advice: life is a mix of joy and sorrow.”

Han Li looked at the spider speechlessly, "I really want to grab you and ask you a couple more questions."

“Give me the tree root,” Obsession replied leisurely, disregarding the other party’s offense, “but the answer… may not be guaranteed to be perfect.”

"Never mind," Qu Jianlei shook his head, then took out the sealed Divine Soul Bee Velvet.

“Hmm…” Obsession uttered a soft exclamation, then fell silent.

The spider extended one of its forelegs and grabbed the small ball of light sealed with bee velvet.

After a moment of perception, it stammered, "Not yet completely distracted, not strong... but we can fight."

“There is no absolute distraction…” Jin Ge nodded thoughtfully, he understood this very well.

In fact, before he created his cave dwelling, he was not yet a fully-fledged Out-of-Body True Venerable.

The next moment, Qu Jianlei suddenly understood and blurted out, "This world should prohibit distraction, right?"

After he said that, the four True Venerables didn't care, since even if they were trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they wouldn't be here anyway.

At most, they showed a little curiosity—why did Qu Zhenzun say that?

However, the spider froze on the spot, as if it had been suddenly struck by a pressure point.

After seven or eight seconds, the spider resumed its movements, letting out a soft sigh, "If I were you, I would never be so curious."

"Understood," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, clearly indicating that this topic could not be continued.

Then he took out a piece of ugly tree root, shook it, and said, "Can we find that guy?"

If he were to risk it all, he could hide in the cave and try to determine the location of the split-faced bee.

With the protection of the stele, the danger should be minimal.

However, in that case, one would still inevitably suffer losses, and even the Dao Stele might be affected.

Most importantly, there is a high probability that this will alert the spirit-distracting worm, adding countless variables.

The spider hesitated for a few moments, then suddenly extended its forelegs and swiftly snatched away the ugly tree root. "No problem."

It snatches things very quickly, but it is still quite careful in the process of calculating.

After about half a day, the spider finally transmitted a message: "Found it! Let's discuss...tactics!"

This spider is really strange; it has one body but two consciousnesses that are not very compatible with each other.

Sometimes my mind is clear, and sometimes I stutter.

However, the fact that the other party was able to know in advance and discuss tactics can only be described as a sublimation of the mind realm... truly a sublimation of life form.

It wasn't completely distracted, but it had already clearly acquired many of the corresponding qualities.
