Chapter 2811 Taking Decisive Action
As the one-and-a-half-year deadline approached, Xiaoyou barely managed to absorb the element of time.
However, she only managed to get halfway through; the other half dissipated. Even so, she still consumed five strands of Creation True Meaning.
Three of them were brought by her, and she later borrowed two more from the young lady.
It's similar to how Han Li transformed the first trace of life force; it was purely achieved by throwing resources at it!
The process of absorbing the Time Element also lasted for a full half month.
By the time the absorption was complete, a year and a half had passed—not because they were waiting for her, but because everyone had already left.
Xiao You barely managed to break through the barrier, managing to maintain the dignity of one of the three prodigies.
However, after the initial joy came a deep sense of resentment: "Is this how it is, leaving already?"
Everyone was speechless. The deadline had been agreed upon long ago, and with so many high-ranking officials present, were they really going to keep them waiting?
What cultivators care about most is cause and effect and integrity. How much of a future can someone who can't even suppress their desires have?
Just as everyone was about to leave, the Möbius strip spoke up, "Why don't we practice a bit more, get familiar with it, and not take more than two years?"
Everyone was stunned by her words. Of all the True Lords, she was the one with the most pressing time. Who would have thought that she would say such a thing?
She's right, this kind of opportunity is really rare, and who knows when the next one will come... or even if it will come at all!
Xiaoyou has only just barely mastered this skill, and it is indeed necessary for her to improve her feel for it.
Otherwise, if she really has the chance next time, she might have completely forgotten about it.
However, the Möbius strip's attitude was truly surprising, which shows why she holds such a high position in Chung Ling.
Xiao You does have a True Lord master behind her, but so what? She is also a Great Lord.
"She truly excels at mentoring younger generations," Bo Ping Zhenjun, who got along well with her, couldn't help but exclaim, "I admire her!"
"Only you are qualified to say such things," Wen Shi Zhenjun sighed—other Zhenjuns might not necessarily be able to say it!
The high priest remained silent and observed coldly until the young lady finally snorted softly, "It's a good thing that the team can be united."
This was somewhat of an accident, but fortunately Qu Jianlei and Han Li were able to continue drawing life force, with the former also able to absorb time elements from time to time.
Xiaoyou lived up to everyone's expectations and absorbed the second element of time in just over two months.
The environment she was in when she did these things was not as calm as the Dao Stele suppressed, so it wasn't slow at all.
Another month passed, and she absorbed the third one.
After digesting it, she decisively said, "That's enough. Thank you all, seniors and fellow Daoists. I will make my own plans for the future."
There was still a month and a half left until the two-year period specified by the Möbius strip, but she knew very well that she couldn't be complacent.
Han Li was a bit disappointed. Although he had gained some more life force, he hadn't even mastered the basics of the time element!
Qu Jianlei could only comfort him, "Everyone's path is different, and there's no fixed rule for being distracted."
The handsome young man rolled his eyes at him speechlessly: "You're an expert in everything, so of course you can talk big without any real experience."
After leaving the Silent Zone and marking their location, the group headed straight for the Star Realm.
The fifth silent zone had previously been dragged to a distance not far from Lianxing by the Möbius strip, the Great Wizard, and Boping Zhenjun.
The great shaman once dragged a large mass of energy, and it was this act that gave rise to their idea.
The three of them didn't think they could definitely accomplish this task, after all, the Silent Zone was not an ordinary energy cluster, but was connected to higher dimensions.
The second piece of information about the Silent Zone provided by Wuchen Zhenjun had been displaced, which caused him to search for it for a long time afterward.
However, natural displacement dominated by higher dimensions and artificial movement are two different concepts.
Moreover, extra care must be taken during the dragging process to avoid triggering higher-dimensional reactions.
Fortunately, the three of them managed to complete the task and then went to meet up with Qu Jianlei and the others.
Moving the Silent Zone to the vicinity of the Starbound Realm is to conduct new experiments there.
Previous tests have shown that when the tilt point is activated next to the silent zone, the two will have a linkage and traction effect.
If left to develop unchecked, a merger cannot be ruled out.
They wanted to try and see if they could use this collaboration to draw out the remaining aura of the Heavenly Inclination from Lianxing.
It was still a far-fetched idea, but what everyone was trying to do was almost impossible to begin with.
This was only after everyone had considered that making such an attempt within the Star Realm would be extremely dangerous; otherwise, they would have been dragged directly into the realm.
Outside the Silent Zone, a True Venerable of the Star Alliance was guarding the area—after finally managing to drag one over, nothing could go wrong.
However, when everyone arrived, they did find something unusual.
The invisible woman suddenly spoke up, "Friends in the shadows, show yourselves! Don't leave without an explanation!"
After a spatial ripple, a middle-aged True Monarch with a stern face emerged, radiating a scorching aura.
This person wasn't in a good mood. "I was just curious and wanted to take a look. Why can't I leave?"
"Huh, it's Qiaoqi?" Jingzu recognized the newcomer. "Are you bored?"
“I came here specifically for this,” said True Lord Qiaoqi, his face remaining expressionless. “I heard someone is collecting soul-splitting puppets!”
His true form was a wisp of earth flame in the Chaos Spirit Mountain, and he obtained a great opportunity to become a Great Monarch.
As a True Lord of a different race, he frequently appears in the Jade Beauty Realm.
However, like the young lady, Qiaoqi does not consider himself a cultivator from another race and occasionally goes to the real Yuxiu.
He rarely went to Zhongling, but many cultivators in Zhongling did not consider him to be of a different race.
Qiaoqi heard from Yuxiu that a human lord in Zhongling was seeking a puppet that could be created from the body, and that it was a very important one.
In fact, more than one True Lord has been speculating about what the Möbius strip is trying to do.
Qiaoqi wasn't that curious, but one day, he met Kanshui Zhenjun in Yuxiu and casually mentioned this matter.
Kan Shui's expression was a bit strange. "That's true, his lifespan is coming to an end, so he's having some wild ideas!"
Qiaoqi felt that there was something strange about this, but when she asked the other party again, she could not get any more information.
The key issue is that he doesn't have much time left to live.
His true form is similar to a spirit of heaven and earth, and his lifespan should be much longer, but even spirits of heaven and earth have a lifespan limit.
For someone like Jin Ge to live a longer time, if his main body is flame, he must be burning something, right?
So he couldn't help but learn more, wondering if there was any opportunity involved.
Inquiring about the Möbius strip is taboo and quite difficult, but it can also be used to divine the Kan water, right?
His relationship with Kan Shui was also just so-so—water and fire are inherently incompatible, so he wasn't afraid to divine the other party's recent itinerary.
Then Qiaoqi basically confirmed that this matter was very likely related to Tianqing!
True Lord Qiaoqi was able to discern the logic behind it—if the collapse of the heavens were successfully averted, the benefits would be immense.
However, this guess was truly absurd, and he wanted to find out more information.
He didn't know where the Wantianqing team was, but he knew where in the cultivation world Tianqing would appear.
Upon arriving at Lianxing, he discovered an energy cluster outside the boundary, with a True Venerable guarding it.
This piqued his interest, so he began to observe from the shadows.
The more he observed, the more he felt something was wrong; there was something mysterious about this chaotic mass of energy.
For Master Qiaoqi, if he could study it without restraint, figuring out this mystery shouldn't be too difficult.
The problem is that this large energy cluster is currently guarded by the True Venerable of Lianxing, so it can be considered to have an owner.
If you're a bit further away from the stars, that's a different story—the void is full of unclaimed objects.
However, the total distance is only a little over 10 billion kilometers, so it is more than just an unclaimed object.
With Qiaoqi's level of expertise, he naturally had the necessary insight. He even suspected that this might have been brought over by the Great Lord of Lianxing.
He wasn't afraid of even Star Cultivators, but when it came to the cause and effect of the Heavenly Collapse, which True Lord would be willing to get tainted by such bad luck?
So he chose to wait and see, but unexpectedly, he encountered such a large force.
Several Great Lords and more than twenty True Venerables are enough to conquer a great world.
However, he didn't think he had done anything wrong—I was just curious, and I didn't do anything, is that a big crime?
“Sometimes being too curious is a mistake,” the Möbius strip said to him, far less kindly than it was to Xiaoyou.
"Hand over a wisp of your essence," Bo Ping Zhenjun said even more ruthlessly, "or don't even think about leaving!"
"Heh," Qiaoqi laughed angrily upon hearing this, but his face remained expressionless. "Such arrogance. Do you think I'm going to leave?"
“Then stay,” Wen Shi, who had been invisible, revealed himself. “Fellow Daoist, you asked for this yourself.”
"Huh?" Qiaoqi was taken aback. He really didn't expect that the other party would have a hidden True Lord.
Behind him, a huge spider phantom appeared silently—it wasn't human, and it looked quite delicious.
However, Qiaoqi's true form is earth flame, and his temperament is similar. He gritted his teeth and asked fiercely, "Are you going to bully the weak with the many of you?"
“As long as you don’t run away, I won’t make a move,” the great shaman said in a deep voice, indicating that he had no intention of getting involved in the disputes among cultivators.
"If I don't run... wouldn't that be suicide?" Qiaoqi looked around, his face dark, and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"Then count me in too," a divine sense came from behind and above him. "If you don't run, I won't make a move!"
"Oh," the young lady exclaimed softly, "So it's you! Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on recovering from your chronic illness!"
"Don't even mention it," Shenshi sighed softly, "It's so embarrassing and disappointing!"
Qu Jianlei and the others also realized what was happening, and several True Venerables bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Senior!" "Congratulations on your well-being, Senior."
A cold glint flashed in Qiaoqi's eyes, "Then let's fight..."
Before he could finish speaking, the space around him twisted violently, and then a female voice rang out, "Make your move!"
The young woman attacked before the other person could finish speaking.
