Chapter 2754 A Path to Distraction
As their interactions increased, the twelve True Venerables gradually became familiar with each other.
True deities who are not familiar with each other find it difficult to get too close—it's enough for everyone to just talk about cause and effect; it doesn't hinder cooperation.
But the more we talked about our experiences, the more we naturally felt a sense of closeness.
Even when facing Lianxing Wuzhenzun, everyone felt that it wasn't as awkward as before.
She Niu Zhenzun could also sense the change and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's too rare for the twelve Zhenzun to discuss the Dao."
“You haven’t seen Qu Zhenzun’s discussion of Taoism at Taiyuan Sea,” Song Yue’er replied casually. “That was truly spectacular.”
Speaking of this topic, True Venerable Xiaoyou suddenly sighed, "Although True Venerable Qu's move was risky, it laid the foundation for the division of the spirit!"
"Hmm?" Han Li was managing the battle formation when he heard this. He glanced at him indifferently, but his movements remained unchanged.
He asked calmly, "What do you mean by what Fellow Daoist Xiaoyou said?"
His calm tone couldn't hide his anger: Among the True Venerables present, who is not smart enough?
Who could imagine the impact such a situation, lasting for thirty or forty years, might have on Qu Zhenzun?
The Divine Lord continued to exert pressure, along with a grand formation composed of nine True Venerables...
If you persist for decades, it's not absolutely impossible to actually push someone from astral projection to a state of mental distraction!
However, the enormous danger that Qu Zhenzun faces is also an objective reality.
Besides trusting that the people outside wouldn't make mistakes, he himself also had to ensure he wouldn't make mistakes... and he maintained this for so many years.
Furthermore, it's hard to say whether such immense pressure might cause him to overexert himself in any area.
Of course, everyone trusted Qu Zhenzun's intelligence and knew his divination abilities, so they believed he wouldn't choose to harm himself.
But how much benefit it will bring is hard to say.
The most significant influencing factor is still the collapse of the heavens. If we cannot prevent the collapse of the heavens, then talking about anything else is pointless.
These are things that everyone may have already thought of, but as a member of the team that saves the day, everyone can benefit as long as it succeeds.
Is it really so excessive for Qu Zhenzun, as the rightful owner, to risk such a huge danger to try it out and gain some benefit from the process?
So no one had mentioned this until Xiaoyou brought it up now.
However, this really angered Han Li, who directly named him.
"What are you thinking?" Xiaoyou said dismissively. "I mean, after him... maybe there's a way to distract yourself!"
"What the hell?" The powerful divine sense was the first to be unable to bear it. "What did you say?"
Fortunately, he was a true lord, and despite a slight surprise, the related operations remained very stable.
With his level of cultivation, he shouldn't be so impatient, but junior... do you know what you're saying?
Throughout the countless cultivation worlds, there has always been only one consensus: there is no way out after leaving the body!
It takes your skill to forge a path through thorns and brambles, but others cannot replicate your path.
Now there are actually some juniors who claim to have found a common... or at least a path that can be used as a reference?
It's one thing to have such a sudden, whimsical idea, but to say it out loud—are you trying to make me, the Great King, laugh to death?
"Hmm?" Han Li did not lose his composure. Instead, he snorted again, raised his eyebrows, and then fell silent.
After a dozen or so breaths, he sighed softly, "Difficult, the prerequisites are too harsh."
First, we need to find a star cluster rich in high-dimensional elements, and second, we need to be able to get the Great Lord and the Nine True Venerables to continuously intervene.
The key is that people's hearts are unpredictable; without the enormous goal of turning the tide, the current situation would never have been possible.
Let alone whether these invited helpers will be wholeheartedly dedicated, what if that Great Lord... also wants to refine a Great Dao clone?
These prerequisites alone make this path unreplicable!
“Indeed,” True Venerable Xiaoyou sighed softly, “It’s too difficult to find another great world that is about to collapse!”
"What?" This time, it was She Niu Zhen Zun who couldn't take it anymore. "Please, can you not talk like that?"
We've already suffered enough discrimination. What are you trying to say with your sarcastic tone?
Next to lose patience was True Venerable Luofu, who said, "Fellow Daoist Sheniu, don't you know why True Venerable Qu is preaching in the Taiyuan Sea?"
“Of course I know, but…” She Niu Zhenzun paused, needing to organize his thoughts.
"The new path of astral projection and the path of spiritual division, do you think the difficulty of these two is comparable?"
"I believe in Senior Brother Qu!" Luo Fu replied calmly. "True Master Qu is exceptionally talented. You can see the reactions of the other fellow Daoists."
“I don’t really believe it,” Han Li said bluntly.
However, the next moment, he changed his tone, "But if even Master Qu can't do it..."
Xiao You chimed in at the opportune moment, "I can't think of any other kind of person who could find the path to distraction!"
"You two... really?" The powerful divine sense was genuinely surprised; both of them had connections.
Putting aside personal pride, they have elders behind them, so their vision and judgment are unlikely to be poor...
Xiao You smiled slightly upon hearing this, "It was just a joke. I was just trying to lighten the mood since everyone is working so hard."
Han Li remained silent. At this moment, anything he said would be superfluous, so it was better to say nothing.
Anyway, he kept this in mind and planned to ask that guy about it later.
There was really no way to make it public; just as Xiaoyou said—finding a world on the verge of collapse was truly difficult.
Unfortunately, he may not be the only one who has this on his mind!
Because after Xiaoyou said those words, no one spoke for a long time.
Even the previously hotly debated battle formation coordination came to an abrupt halt, as if the pause button had been pressed directly.
However, in reality, the frequency of private spiritual communication suddenly increased significantly.
For example, Lianxing's Kunxiu Zhenzun secretly contacted Xiaoyou, asking, "Is Qu Zhenzun really that powerful?"
Before considering battle formation coordination, if she had asked Xiaoyou this question, she would have definitely run away – go away, it smells awful!
But now, she could barely endure it; sooner or later, they would have to coordinate their battle formations. "We have to take a gamble, right?"
"Then why bother searching for the Heavenly Inclination of other worlds?" Kunxiu Zhenzun continued sending a private message. "Isn't Lianxing readily available?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Xiaoyou quietly asked, without changing her expression, “What are you trying to say?”
“I’ll help you get involved,” Kunxiu Zhenzun first stated his conditions, then added, “I also want to get involved!”
"Get involved?" Xiao You's face showed a slight change in expression. "Tian Qing's problem hasn't even been solved yet, and you're already thinking about this too much, aren't you?"
“If it can’t be solved, then so be it,” Kunxiu Zhenzun said with unusual calm. “With hope, life won’t be so bleak.”
“Then you should also find Han Li,” Xiao You suggested casually. “He is Qu Zhenzun’s Daoist partner, so his words carry more weight.”
"Have you ever heard the saying 'One should not covet a friend's wife'?" Kunxiu Zhenzun replied naturally. "Asking him for help might actually be an obstacle."
So you're still planning to be "easy to bully"? Xiao You was a little speechless: I'm the first wife, and I'm just throwing in a maidservant?
However, how should I put it? The path is difficult, that's common knowledge. Isn't the fact that the Great Lord is working so hard now also a deliberate attempt to curry favor with True Venerable Qu?
So she could only say calmly, "Let's talk about this later, I've got it in mind."
However, this was only the reaction of Kunxiu Zhenzun alone. In fact, the other Zhenzun were also likely to be moved.
Logically, most people still wouldn't believe this claim, because it's too challenging to their long-cultivated values.
However, Xiao You and Han Li are known as the Three Prodigies alongside Qu Zhenzun, and both have powerful backers behind them.
Because of this speculation, even the life of a Dharma Protector became more interesting.
As time went on, Han Wei put forward new suggestions.
He believes it's best to communicate with the outside world from time to time and improve the surrounding environment, since there are still decades to go, right?
This is a very reasonable suggestion. Don't assume that cultivators are all people who hide in deep mountains and forests and go into seclusion for decades.
That was just an individual choice under extreme circumstances. Even if Houde Realm were to develop another world, they would still know to build a camp first.
This is not about indulging in pleasure, but rather the self-discipline that a cultivator should have—no matter how difficult the environment, one must live like a human being.
Admittedly, all True Venerables have cave dwellings, and the conditions are not too bad, but that is only the basic living environment.
It's not appropriate for a group of True Venerables to always go to other people's caves to have something to say or do.
Let's improve the surrounding environment so that what we're doing doesn't look like a makeshift operation.
Everyone else agreed to the suggestion, but Han Li asked, "Everyone understands the cause and effect, so no one is going to recommend anyone else, right?"
Anyone who isn't stupid would want another person to share the profits, so everyone agreed.
Everyone knows that, ultimately, this is a team, and being isolated from the outside world for a long time will definitely create a terrible internal atmosphere.
Being serious means acting alone, which at most makes you feel a little lonely, and negative emotions won't affect each other.
Time flies, and before we knew it, we had been here for seventeen years, with everything progressing smoothly and steadily.
A simple camp has been set up, and news from the outside can be heard from time to time.
However, most of the news fails to attract public attention, even if the parties involved consider it very important.
For example, cultivators from the Three Realms and cultivators with profound virtue were in conflict for a long time in another world because of the issue of the distribution of benefits.
However, for these true masters, it really is... insignificant.
One day, the group led by True Venerable Yue Ran returned from their trip, bringing news from the outside world: cultivators from Lingyun were lingering in the empire.
Qu Zhenzun is currently in the space, but even if he weren't inside, this wouldn't be considered any extraordinary news.
Once a person passes a certain stage, there is basically no going back, and this is especially true for cultivators.
However, the key point of this news is that Ling Yun came to find Qu Zhenzun—the intersection of worlds is accelerating its integration!
