Chapter 2730 Why?
It must be really frustrating for a True Lord to live like this, having to ask a group of True Venerables about his own journey.
However, Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Sure, where shall we meet?"
He doesn't really care about these things. Who doesn't have selfish motives? Just keep things in line.
Moreover, the Great King's karma is not something to be taken lightly; anyone who wants to play both openly and covertly should think twice.
If one is too calculating, not only will one appear petty, but one will also lack basic respect for the True Lord.
Before the white mist could react, the young lady chuckled softly.
“Kan Shui, this may not be a good thing, the little guy is very cunning.”
"Hmm?" True Monarch Kan Shui asked, puzzled. "What good or bad thing? I have some things to arrange."
“Go if you want,” the woman said casually. “I’m just telling you that he’s very good at fishing.”
"Fishing...?" The white mist paused for a few breaths, then rippled slightly. "That's going too far. Is that considered a threat?"
“It’s none of my business,” the young woman replied calmly. “I was just offering a friendly reminder.”
Kan Shui Zhenjun remained silent for a long while before asking, "True Venerable...fishing?"
Are you kidding me? I am the Great Khan! How dare you set a trap for me?
Seeing this, the other True Venerables looked at each other, their expressions very subtle.
Everyone understood the meaning, but they all felt a little strange: Qu Zhenzun's words could actually be interpreted in this way?
What's even stranger is that no one seems to find anything particularly wrong with this interpretation.
So, does that mean everyone believes that Qu Zhenzun possesses the potential to threaten the Great Lord?
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Kan Shui Zhenjun could only sigh softly, "I'm just not used to the environment of Houde."
"But since we're going to cooperate sincerely, then forget it... I don't want to ruin the atmosphere of cooperation."
The words were beautifully spoken, but the many True Venerables knew in their hearts—this person was truly afraid!
But this is a bit unbelievable no matter how you look at it. Does being out of the body really threaten the mind?
After the group reunited with the Spider Lord, they continued their journey. Han Li couldn't hold back any longer halfway through.
He secretly sent out a divine sense, "That one... is more than just a split-spirit?"
"You really know how to act up," Qu Jianlei glanced at him, his eyelids drooping slightly. "Yeah!"
“That’s really true,” the handsome young man nodded in sudden realization. No wonder True Monarch Kan Shui was afraid!
The True Lords of the Haoran Sect are enough to intimidate ordinary Great Lords, let alone those who are above True Lords.
The key point is that Senior Heng not only pointed out the location of Yuji, but also personally intervened at the last moment.
Qu Zhenzun always said that his relationship with Haoran Sect was just so-so, and he himself was very puzzled.
However, Han Li... and even most people in the know do not believe that a mere descendant of Hao Ran could attract the frequent attention of Hao Ran's Grand Lord.
He and Xiaoyou weren't without connections. Compared to Senior Heng's attitude towards Qu Zhenzun, their own backer was clearly a bit... reluctant to let go.
But since some people are so oblivious to their own limitations, let them be.
It took everyone eight months to return to Houde this time.
For Qu Jianlei, nothing in this realm has changed—at least the people and things he cares about are all normal.
However, in reality, things have changed quite a bit, with the conquest of the Apollo world and the Tree Clan world now fully unleashed.
Any cultivator who has the means to reach the other world can participate; they just need to report to the management.
Many forces have started to engage in the passenger transport industry—cultivators who are unable to travel there can purchase services with spirit stones.
This means that the conquest of the other world has fully entered its final stage, and this stage will be exceptionally long.
The expected returns for adventurers have become extremely low, but a large number of cultivators still go there hoping to make a fortune.
The Lingyun Sect did an excellent job in organization and propaganda, claiming that there were still many unexplored areas in those two other worlds.
Although the probability of getting a good opportunity is already extremely low, the possibility of going home empty-handed is also not very high.
The possibility of losing money is even lower, because a large number of cultivators will flock there, and various demands will increase significantly as a result.
Even if you don't participate in exploration, but focus on doing some business or providing some services, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, it's not difficult to make a living.
In addition, large numbers of cultivators are also allowed to explore the Realm of All Things, the Realm of Supreme Goodness, and the Realm of Mountains and Rivers.
It seems that only scraps remain between the two different worlds? However, that's not the case.
Many cultivators, including those at the Foundation Establishment or even Qi Refining stages, do not have an extreme desire to get rich overnight.
Getting rich quick is great, but having a decent income is also satisfying.
Moreover, many people are betting on a possibility... that those two other worlds might be integrated into a cultivation world in the future.
The probability isn't very high, but it's still a possibility, isn't it?
Therefore, this final stage will take a considerable amount of time.
Because so many cultivators have gone to other worlds, the security situation in Houde has improved considerably.
It must be admitted that although Baiqiao's actions are highly questionable, he has done an excellent job managing the massive Lingyun sect.
The only region where the number of people has increased rather than decreased is the lower realm of Cangwu.
The fifth-order spiritual vein has been established, but it will still take a considerable amount of time before it is fully integrated.
It will take at least one or two hundred years before it can be used with difficulty.
However, this is already a done deal and cannot be changed. The risk for cultivators from the upper realm to invest is almost zero.
Interestingly, in addition to those who cultivate virtue, cultivators from all realms, including the Three Realms, have also tried to settle here.
It's about staying long-term, not investing. After all, there's a fifth-order spiritual vein here, isn't there?
In particular, the Cangwu Realm has an external passage, so it is not necessary to go through Houde to reach it.
The One Palace and Four Sacred Mountains have drawn a red line, and in principle, they do not allow outside cultivators to buy land. Even temporary entry is strictly controlled.
The cultivators of Cangwu also strongly resisted this phenomenon—where were you when we were resisting the alien races?
However, even with people making courtesy visits, the pressure on the One Temple and Four Sacred Mountains couldn't be withstood.
In fact, the five major powers also have their own expectations. To put it simply, they control too much land resources.
The only place that could overpower them, Red Leaf Ridge, had no interest in these matters.
Who doesn't want land prices to keep rising? If we just rely on local Cangwu residents to consume, how long will that take?
Moreover, the Four Sacred Mountains are subordinate to Lingyun, and there are too many requests that he cannot refuse.
Qu Zhenzun briefly descended to the mortal realm for a few days, mainly to encourage his former teammates: "Cultivate diligently, I'll be waiting for you ahead."
Because Duogan and Jing Yuexin are in seclusion, there are only a few people left in Red Leaf Ridge, and the current leader is Immortal Xiangxue.
She said, "Boss, you came back just in time. I've already turned down more than a dozen people who wanted to visit."
The visitors included virtuous people and people from other realms; they all had some background and their attitudes were quite good.
Xiangxue, who used to run a guesthouse and resort in the empire for a long time, had a very clear understanding of many things.
She believes it's necessary for the eldest brother to come back from time to time; he doesn't need to do anything, just make his presence known.
At present, absolutely no one dares to have any ulterior motives towards Red Leaf Ridge. Even the True Venerable forces outside are exceptionally polite and respectful.
However, Xiangxue was aware of the potential dangers even in times of peace. If Qu Zhenzun did not return for a long time, the situation might undergo subtle changes.
Putting aside the potential consequences of the leader's long-term absence, the mere fact that some people feel he's no longer paying attention to Red Leaf Ridge is not a good thing.
This wasn't because she had paranoia, but because Qu Zhenzun's pace was just too fast!
Now, he associates with True Venerables and above, and when he goes in and out, he is usually accompanied by three or five True Venerables.
When cultivators reach a certain level, many former friends can never be the same again.
Xiangxue spoke sincerely, "This is everyone's foundation, and we don't want to slow you down, but please come back and visit often."
"I understand," Qu Jianlei said with a sense of relief, realizing that his concern was not entirely without reason.
While those two certainly need attention, he should also keep an eye on his other companions.
We've supported each other and come this far together; it hasn't been easy...
So he asked bluntly, "Which power made you feel this way?"
If there are any people who are really unreasonable, he wouldn't mind taking out a chicken and killing it for everyone to see.
“It’s about risk prevention awareness,” Xiangxue said with a smile. “My dad said I have a great responsibility.”
Mu Guang is now mainly active in Houde, and has also begun to consciously collect information and resources related to astral projection.
“Then you should gather the One Palace and the Four Sacred Mountains,” Qu Jianlei said. “I’ll meet with them and make them realize the situation!”
Now that he has already defied the True Monarch, summoning several Nascent Soul cultivators is truly giving them face.
The whole process needs no further explanation; everyone was filled with trepidation and dared not even breathe loudly.
Speaking of the rebellious Great Lord, not long after Jin Ge returned to his sect, he made a special trip to Efeng No. 3 to find Qu Zhenzun.
He learned that Yu Ji was rejected by the sect back then, apparently because of some issues with his identity.
No one knows the specifics; he has already done his best to find out this information.
He paid a price for this. "Baiqiao asked me to ask you if he could also go to Zhongling?"
“He’s thinking a lot,” Qu Jianlei chuckled. “I just want to ask two words: Why should I?”
“It will offset the debt of Lingyun’s support for you,” Jin Ge answered without hesitation, clearly having asked the question himself.
"He said he wouldn't touch our spoils; he mainly wanted to broaden his horizons..."
“Not enough,” Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, “I need him to personally promise that he won’t interfere with your breakthrough!”
"I... I was distracted by the impact?" Jin Ge was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Qu Jianlei waited a long time before answering, "We're going to settle the Great Lord's karma and raise the True Lord's demands. Is that too much to ask?"
"He..." The Sage was clearly a little confused, and it took him a while to respond.
"He said it was also for Lingyun's future development, and that he would go there in person."
"Hehe," Qu Jianlei chuckled dismissively, "Do you believe that?"
"I'm skeptical," Jin Ge replied quickly this time, clearly having regained his composure.
"He said... if you don't agree, go find Han Li."
