The plan was that the Möbius strip and Bo Ping Zhenjun would not return for at least three months after they left.
Because they wanted to guard against the possibility that Yi Qing might hold a grudge.
In the memories of Lianxing cultivators, there was no example of Tianqing holding a grudge—it had locked Lianxing in place, and even Tianqing points could hardly move out of the realm.
But now that higher dimensions are involved, it's hard to say. At least Qu Zhenzun has encountered grudges from higher dimensions.
In short, be extremely careful around the boundary.
The two True Lords diverted some of the hatred, but there was also some risk involved. It's better if they return a little later.
Shortly after they fled, the space fluctuated, and a large array was slowly activated.
With the burning fuse in hand, Wu An Zhenzun instantly flashed into the great formation—in fact, teleportation is not visible; it's just a feeling.
The burning fuse slammed into the great formation, but was blocked by the formation's defenses.
A massive energy surge spread outwards from the outer edge of the formation, and within just a few breaths, the raging energy engulfed the formation.
"This kind of formation..." Qu Jianlei raised his hand as if to divine, "...can it withstand higher dimensions?"
Previously, he only knew that everyone had set up multiple layers of protection for Wu'an Zhenzun, but he had not asked about the specifics.
It's best to be cautious in your words and actions when Gao Wei is around; he doesn't have that much curiosity.
But seeing this scene, he was a little confused. What kind of formation could block the penetration of higher dimensions?
"Don't use divination," True Monarch Kongyu spoke up in time to stop him, "Danger!"
"This formation is mainly used for deflecting and guiding force, and it also uses very rare materials."
His words were vague, but Qu Jianlei understood. "From Zhongling?"
After leaving the body, there is indeed no way to use the array, but a True Monarch can still use arrays. These two things are not contradictory.
It's not surprising that the Spirit Realm has more advanced formations. Using formations as a path and using formations as an aid are two different concepts.
As for even rarer materials... they might also be related to higher dimensions.
Kongyu Zhenjun nodded slightly, "Senior's influence in Zhongling is very strong."
After thinking for a moment, Qu Jianlei asked again, "Where will it lead?"
"It's similar to spatial teleportation, but not exactly," Kong Yu replied casually. "It can be guided anywhere, such as the Heavenly Demon World."
"The Heavenly Demon World?" Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "So keeping them around has this effect?"
“Of course,” Kongyu Zhenjun replied, “so it’s better not to destroy some worlds if we can avoid it.”
“You are from Zhongling, of course you would say that,” said Qiye Zhenjun dismissively.
“People like us who come from poor backgrounds don’t have the same good conditions as you.”
"Since when has great virtue been considered poverty?" True Monarch Qingxia couldn't help but ask, "Then what about all things?"
Qu Jianlei, too lazy to listen to their bickering, looked at the Dog-Riding True Venerable and asked, "What if the great formation breaks?"
“He still has some trump cards to save his life,” the old True Venerable replied, “but let’s see how fast he can run…”
More than ten days later, the Silent Zone and the Skyward Point began to merge, much faster than the development of the Skyward Point in the Middle Thousand Worlds.
The formation is still struggling to hold on, but it feels like... it won't last much longer.
Finally, a faint fluctuation came from the direction of the Star Realm, pointing directly to the fusion point.
The next moment, the fusion point began to shake wildly as if it had taken a stimulant, and its energy surged instantly.
Although the great formation had long been submerged by the attacking energy clusters, some things could still be sensed from the outside through means similar to a water mirror.
Everyone could clearly feel that the great formation was shaking violently, as if it could shatter at any moment.
Half a day later, as the fluctuations emanating from Lianxing became increasingly obvious, the Water Mirror Technique instantly collapsed.
"The great formation is broken!" True Venerable Riding Dog sighed softly. "Hopefully, Senior Taiyuan's space-folding technique will allow him to escape successfully."
"It has nothing to do with me, it depends on his comprehension," the young lady's voice rang out leisurely. "I just casually set up a maze."
"Ancestor, you... you're being discriminatory with those inside and those outside," Qu Jianlei couldn't stand it anymore. "Why didn't you help me back then?"
The woman's voice said calmly, "Who said I didn't help you? You just toughed it out on your own; it wasn't even my turn!"
"Wow," Qu Jianlei exclaimed in astonishment, "Really? Why didn't you tell me beforehand, senior?"
"Do you know what training is?" the young woman asked casually. "If I tell you in advance, will I be able to squeeze out your greatest potential?"
“The reason for the differential treatment is because we trust you. For someone like this, we can only give him more confidence.”
While the two were talking, a patch of void began to burn, and its volume gradually expanded.
However, the diffusion is not uniform; it's scattered in patches, as if something is darting around.
Although people cannot see the Five An True Venerable, they can imagine the scene of him desperately fleeing just from the appearances he observes from the outside.
None of the cultivators present spoke.
"He's... not quite there," the young woman finally sighed softly, "He's still a bit lacking compared to Xiao Qu."
Qu Jianlei remained silent; such praise did not make him happy.
Watching your teammates perish before your eyes, and being powerless to help, that feeling... is just too awful.
Just as he was frowning and pondering, a whispered message came from the young lady in his mind: "You can try whatever methods you have."
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei's heart skipped a beat. "Intervening now...won't it cause even bigger trouble?"
"Are you stupid? I can secretly do some divination for you first," the young lady whispered back, "For example, your Dao stele!"
Qu Jianlei remained silent; Möbius did not want him to bring up the matter.
Then he sighed softly, "Miss, you really do live life to the fullest!"
“I have seen many true lords who rose from humble beginnings,” Taiyuan Hai said calmly. “It is understandable that they are wary of such things.”
"However, Miss will always be your trustworthy haven... I'm very tight-lipped."
At this point... shouldn't we stop driving? Qu Jianlei smiled wryly to himself, "I believe it, otherwise why would it be a place for True Lords to discuss the Dao?"
When true masters discuss the Dao, it's not just about elegant academic discussions; physical fights are quite common.
Qu Jianlei had never witnessed such a scene, but he knew all too well the young lady's resentment towards the Möbius strip!
This kind of gossip involving the True Lord certainly can't be spread out casually, right?
Not to mention that some exchanges between True Lords involve even more privacy!
Therefore, the fact that Taiyuan Sea could become a place for Dao discussions is likely not primarily due to the Three Thousand Lesser Realms, but more likely because she kept her mouth shut.
In other words, does a place for philosophical discussions necessarily need to have a spirit? Eliminating it... wouldn't affect the environment, right?
At this moment, Qu Jianlei vaguely understood why the young lady acted like a seasoned pro.
Because for her, this type of topic is the safest!
If one day she suddenly changes her personality and adopts the air of a know-it-all in the martial arts world, guess how many chapters she'll survive?
"Stop dawdling," the young woman said impatiently. "If you don't make a decision soon, he might hang up. But... whatever you want."
She didn't really care about the life or death of the Five An True Venerables—she had seen countless True Lords, so who would care about a True Venerable?
She was just thinking that this kind of testing opportunity was really too rare.
Not only is there a point of celestial tilt that has been triggered, but there is also a True Venerable who could fall at any moment as a model, so there is no need to consider the consequences!
Of course, deep down, she was also a little curious: had the little guy collected all the Dao tablets yet?
However, she would never ask proactively; if she gave a slight hint, it would already be out of consideration for their friendship.
"Actually... I've been restraining myself," Qu Jianlei said with a wry smile, this was not just something he was making up.
Ever since She Niu Zhenzun returned from his circumnavigation and activated the great formation to hide inside, he has had an urge to try it out.
He thought he was having a bout of maternal instinct and couldn't help but want to help, so he forcibly restrained himself.
However, upon closer inspection, it was unexpectedly discovered that both the Creation Compass and the Giant Axe seemed to be stirring with restlessness.
Qu Jianlei was quite familiar with both of them; the former was less susceptible to temptation and preferred the aura associated with creation.
The latter would definitely hate Tianqing to the extreme, but please, this is Tianqing from the Great World.
You're just a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, at most you'd only have a Divine Transformation level ritual artifact... what are you meddling in?
As for the stele? Qu Jianlei didn't even think about it; he sealed the two broken pieces of the stele separately.
He himself wasn't entirely confident in controlling the aura of the Dao Stele if it wasn't sealed, and if it leaked out, the trouble would be immense.
Anyway, these two halves of the Dao stele are mutually disgusted and can't be sealed together, so separating them is a good thing.
He was also conflicted about using the Dao Stele to deal with Tianqing—after all, there were many risks involved, not just in the present moment.
For those serious consequences, tracing back the cause can indeed reveal the underlying reasons and establish a clear causal relationship.
But trying to deduce all the consequences from the causes? You might as well just give up and go to sleep... There's no way to do that!
The potential consequences of using the Dao Stele are likely something he cannot afford to bear.
With his strength, it was impossible for him to divine the Dao Stele—aside from the fact that a doctor cannot heal himself, the backlash would be enough to reduce him to ashes.
However, when the young lady brought it up again, he was actually a little tempted.
However, even though time was of the essence, he still had a question to ask, "Ancestor... do you dare to perform divination?"
"Let's try it indirectly," the young woman said hesitantly. "If the signs aren't right, I'll give up."
"You've worked so hard for Tianqing for so long, and now you have such a rare opportunity. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Ultimately, the temptation was just too great! Qu Jianlei understood her thoughts perfectly.
But wasn't he the same way? The rewards for successfully turning the tide were too tempting!
He pondered for only a few moments, then waved his hand, signaling Jing Zhenzun to enter his cave.
The next moment, his true form opened two sealed Dao tablets in the cave.
The moment the two Dao tablets appeared, they exuded a powerful aura and pressure!
