Chapter 2816 The Burning Passage
Jing Yuexin paused for a moment, then came to her senses and nodded slightly, "...That's true."
Then she glanced at Han Li again, "I don't care."
“Yes,” the handsome young man nodded, “It is good to have a partner when you walk the path together; everything else is trivial.”
A sudden storm seemed to have vanished without a trace.
However, in the time that followed, Jing Yuexin always seemed a little absent-minded.
Qu Jianlei didn't pay any more attention to this, because... it really was just as Han Li said: on the great path, one must walk alone sooner or later.
It's already great that someone can accompany you for a while, so why be picky about whether you're a male or female cultivator?
However, he finally realized belatedly why more than one senior colleague said that there was an imbalance of yin and yang around him.
So even this handsome young man is a female cultivator, that's really... no wonder this guy acts so recklessly.
The results of multiple divinations remained that the situation was still considered unlucky, and the second quiet zone was chosen as the first pilot area.
The fifth silent zone was moved to a distance of hundreds of billions of kilometers, and then everyone took their positions and began the final calculations.
Even the astral projection puppets were released to comprehensively assess the final risks.
The two newly arrived True Lords were truly astounded, asking, "This is... used to replace the clone?"
"Collecting so many Out-of-Body Puppets," came True Monarch Qingxia's divine sense, "how many Silent Zones must have been prepared?"
He merely went invisible, not left. This clone was able to come because his disciple sent a message.
Xiaoyou and he have never lost contact, but he rarely replies to messages.
For most True Lords, it is perfectly normal to leave their disciples and followers to their own devices; Great Lords also have their own affairs to attend to.
Later, when his disciple got into trouble with Tianqing, he didn't interfere, but he gave him some extra trump cards to protect himself.
It wasn't until recently, when Xiaoyou said he had the ability to enhance his Time-Reversing Divine Power and that the outcome of his intervention was promising, that he came to check it out.
It's impossible for him to be completely unmoved by the benefits of saving Tianqing.
But as he said before, if he wanted to participate, he would have done so long ago, and he won't regret it now, since it was the path he chose.
However, besides that, he also has some other karmic debts, so let's see if we can settle them.
“There definitely won’t be many quiet zones,” Qi Ye said, not caring who he was, “Let’s see how they use the puppets.”
Now that the agreement has been reached, the Wantianqing team began the final simulation and then decided who would carry out the final execution.
Since it involves controlling puppets, the choice of person is not very important, especially since this is only a mid-thousand world of Tianchong.
Both Möbius strip and Bo Ping Zhenjun said they would rather try Lianxing, as this situation was a bit too small.
However, when other True Venerables control it, it feels like their perception of higher dimensions is slightly lacking.
Han Li and Xiao You were both eager to try, and took the initiative to ask Zhenjun to predict the extent of their danger.
After all, the two of them, besides Qu Zhenzun, are the only two Zhenzun who can profit from higher dimensions.
However, the two True Lords said, "You two should wait a moment and see what Xiao Qu thinks."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then formally said, "The experimental materials... are too rare, I'll do it."
He really didn't like to show off and valued his life very much. With three more True Lords watching, he had even less interest in taking risks.
However, there was really no way to deal with it. There were simply too few Silent Zones. There were a few more Out-of-Body Puppets, but... look at what they've attracted.
The three newly arrived True Lords remained silent, watching the team work busily.
The astral puppet remained suspended in the air, motionless, for a month.
Qingxia Zhenjun couldn't help but quietly ask her disciple, "Is this how you always waited quietly?"
He had already overestimated Qu Zhenzun and knew that the other party was extraordinary, but... after all, there were so many high-level cultivators waiting.
“Yes, that’s it,” Xiaoyou replied quietly. “This amount of time isn’t long.”
"This young friend's willpower... is truly remarkable," Qingxia sighed softly. "He cannot be wrong!"
Any True Lord will figure out various solutions on their own—once you reach this level, no one can help you anymore.
It is all too common for someone to quietly ponder their thoughts and try and fail repeatedly.
Failure is commonplace, while success is difficult – how can something that no one understands be easily succeeded in?
Qingxia Zhenjun has a rather peculiar perspective on issues.
He was actually able to empathize with how much pressure Qu Zhenzun would be under under the watchful eyes of so many True Lords!
“Willpower…” Xiaoyou understood what she meant. She nodded slightly and then asked, “Does it also come from a higher level?”
The term "higher dimension" should not be mentioned casually, and the existence of willpower is something that even a great ruler cannot directly perceive.
"You'll have to figure that out yourself," said True Monarch Qingxia, who also had no answer.
However, he did say, "You have good judgment, but apart from sixth-order spiritual veins, this is all the help your master can give you."
Xiao You knew what her master meant—revealing Han Li's identity earlier was definitely not unintentional!
But would exposing Han Li's true colors really bring any benefits? She wasn't quite sure, and could only say... "A move can be made by breaking through a dead end!"
"Let's take it one step at a time. By the way, Master, what's with that barrier of time rules?"
“It should be… that we have touched the middle layer of the rules of time,” Qingxia Zhenjun replied after a moment’s hesitation.
"According to the elders, there are three layers of time rules. Master doesn't have a very clear grasp of them. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself."
"It's still unclear..." Xiao You said with a hint of coquetry, "Master, you just don't want to care about me!"
Qingxia Zhenjun was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "You're only a True Venerable, and you're already moving towards the middle level, yet you're still not satisfied..."
He didn't say much. He doted on his own disciple, but too much of a good thing can be bad. Even when he was the True Venerable, he hadn't mastered the power of time.
Xiaoyou was somewhat unwilling, "Then this time barrier... can it protect you?"
"Figure it out yourself!" True Lord Qingxia answered decisively.
When the Out-of-Body Puppet had persisted for nearly three months, suddenly, the Celestial Tilt Point emitted fluctuations.
The members of the Wantianqing team waited quietly for two months, seemingly as still as wooden sculptures or clay figures.
But then, an unexpected change occurred: a female voice suddenly rang out, "Everyone, retreat any further! The distance isn't enough!"
The young woman instantly realized that the safe distance was not being maintained enough.
The group and the astral puppet were already hundreds of millions of kilometers apart—it wasn't that they couldn't go any further, but they should at least be prepared to send a rescue.
Now that we've received the warning, we have no choice but to retreat, and in an instant, we've traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers away again.
“It’s still not enough,” the Möbius strip’s divine sense transmitted, “retreat to more than 500 million.”
These were all pre-arranged plans by the Wantianqing team; even when making timely divination moves, they had to be done in batches.
As everyone retreated, the fluctuations released by the Heavenly Inclination Point swept towards the Nascent Soul Puppet millions of kilometers away.
The speed at which the fluctuation spread increased rapidly, reaching the location of the puppet in just a few breaths.
The astral projection puppet had raised its defense to the limit, but it was useless; in the blink of an eye, it turned into dust.
The fluctuation seemed to pause slightly, or perhaps not, before continuing to surge toward the illusory figure of Qu Zhenzun, fifty million kilometers away.
At the same time, two other fluctuations also emerged.
One current is spreading towards the Middle Thousand Worlds, while another, more subtle one, is spreading towards the Silent Zone.
The three newly arrived True Lords carefully sensed this scene, while the other True Lords had already begun to communicate with each other using their divine senses.
"As expected, it has resonated with the Middle Thousand Worlds, and the fluctuations are even faster than those in the Silent Zone."
"Given their shared origin, it's not surprising that things are moving faster... but I wonder how long the changes will last?"
"What I'm most concerned about is how long Qu Xiaoyou can last... His energy is incredibly powerful."
"Trust him, doesn't he still have the ability to create space?"
At this moment, Qu Zhenzun's illusory figure stood alone in the void, and with a surge of speed, it swept over with incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, his figure swayed slightly, and a strong spatial distortion arose beneath his feet.
Just as the energy fluctuations were about to touch him, the phantom suddenly disappeared into the distorted space.
“Formations can be useful sometimes,” Han Li said with a soft hum, pursing her lips.
This is the teleportation array concept proposed by Qu Zhenzun. Such an operation is rare for Zhenzun and above.
However, it's not entirely without its uses. For example, when Houde was developing the other world, they borrowed a portion of the fast passage between the two worlds.
Not only can it reduce consumption and increase travel speed, but more importantly, it can be used even by those below the True Venerable level.
Qu Jianlei's suggestion received everyone's support.
In the face of such a serious danger, having an extra layer of insurance is always better than having none.
Several True Lords also helped him improve the formation, adding functions such as anchor points, and setting up spatial barriers.
It was only at this point that Qu Jianlei truly realized how naive his previously proud and original teleportation array was.
However, this was not his fault. Back then, his vision and knowledge were limited, so he could only think of so much.
The next moment, he appeared more than a billion kilometers away.
Unfortunately, the energy fluctuations of the pursuers were not much slower than his.
From the location where he disappeared to the location where he reappeared, an energy channel suddenly burst open in the empty void.
Like a lit fuse of gunpowder, but at an incredibly fast speed, and exceptionally straight and violent!
"As expected, it locks in cause and effect," the Möbius strip snorted. She had specially designed a curved path for this teleportation channel.
However, the pursuit of high-dimensional fluctuations is hardly affected by bends, and instead breaks through new channels.
The energy fluctuations pinpointed Qu Zhenzun!
Qu Jianlei also realized this, and with a thought, he initiated the second teleportation.
Now that it has been confirmed that the higher dimension has launched a causal pursuit, he no longer needs to hesitate and can simply choose to activate the straight-line teleportation option.
He launched five teleportations in succession, and the burning "gunpowder fuses" behind him left unusually clear traces in the void.
