Chapter 1711 The Price of Keeping Hope
Yi He sensed the Heart of Time and Space a little bit and was immediately quite surprised.
"This treasure is so powerful, I feel like my soul may not be able to bear it... By the way, what is this thing?"
When he learned the origin of the Heart of Time and Space, he was silent for a moment, then he sighed, "A treasure that points directly to the Great Dao..."
But his mentality is much calmer than that of Taoist Jiao. After all, this treasure is just a legendary thing to the casual cultivators.
Unlike Taoist Jiao, because he is in a sect, he has more opportunities to obtain various treasures, so it is inevitable that he may have some ideas.
However, Qu Jianlei did not intend to test human nature again. After a brief understanding, he sealed the Heart of Time and Space again.
"By the way, since we have the opportunity to enter the cave, please take a look and see who has a magical weapon that you like... We can only exchange them."
After all, the team's financial resources were not strong enough, and Qu Jianlei did not dare to let everyone take freely.
Dorgan immediately said, "I want to exchange my Gauss gun for another one!"
Qing Hu also asked, "Can a Jindan-level Dragon Binding Rope be exchanged for a Yuanying-level treasure?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Your cultivation has reached a certain level, so you should really consider changing your magic weapon."
The value of the two magic weapons differs greatly, but the other party’s cultivation has reached that level.
If we don’t change it, not only will Qing Hu feel a little regretful, but it will also affect the team’s combat effectiveness.
The others were also quite excited upon hearing this and began to discuss together how to get the twelve magical instruments.
Three days later, Dogan chose a magic weapon, which was a bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror is extremely strong and can effectively defend against and reflect attacks.
Also, after the bronze mirror is magnified, it can also be used to hit people like Jia Shuiqing's seal, but the attack effect is inferior to that of the seal.
Dogan's original attribute was fire. Even after he passed the tribulation and could be considered a true Nascent Soul, he still had shortcomings in terms of defense.
This kind of magical weapon that combines both offensive and defensive capabilities is very much to her liking.
Qing Hu changed to a Sky Net, which, like the Dragon Binding Rope, was also a binding weapon - this was her shortcoming.
The effects of using a Yuanying-level magic weapon are naturally different, and this Heavenly Net is extremely strong and impervious to water and fire.
Others also had some thoughts, especially Jia Shuiqing.
Although her seal is powerful, it is broken. It takes more spiritual energy to activate it every time.
But she still held back, saying that she had already mastered the seal very well and was a little reluctant to give it up.
So she decided to wait until she got the Skyhook Maze and then see if there was a more suitable magical weapon - she would keep this opportunity for now.
Boss Wu Xuan has collected many fine magical weapons, but the owner of the Tiangou Maze has at least reached the out-of-body level of cultivation.
Moreover, the Sky Hook is a huge trial cave, which is obviously of a higher level than the "small" portable cave.
Since Jia Shuiqing had made this decision, it was natural for others to follow suit.
After selecting the magic weapons, everyone wandered around the cave for two more days before gradually leaving the cave.
Qu Jianlei stayed in the cave, set up a spirit gathering formation and continued to rest.
The ones who stayed with him included Qing Hu, Claire and Tian Yin.
In addition to helping Qu Jianlei protect the law and heal his injuries, these three also have to build a spiritual energy conversion array in the cave.
The transformation array can be built by robots, but due to the lack of a small lake, it can only be managed and supervised by team members.
As part of Qinghu's mission, they are also responsible for building some training rooms to make it convenient for everyone to come in and practice.
Although this is a cave with scarce spiritual energy, it must be admitted that the conditions for cultivation here are much better than those on a starship.
Even a place like the Dawn Base cannot compare to here. After all, that is a desolate planet, and here is the place for serious cultivation.
Qu Jianlei concentrated on resting, and the three of them lived a very fulfilling life.
In addition to practicing, Tianyin also used light therapy on the boss from time to time.
The other main forces were outside the cave, and the bead in the cave was in the hands of Qu Jianlei's clone.
Everyone stayed on Mushu 258 for three months.
Until one day, the fourth boss's clone teleported over and told Link that several secondary nests had reappeared in the nebula.
In the Link Nebula now, the team only has one regimental-level ship, cruising in the place where the previous battle took place.
That battle was fought so fiercely that seven or eight hives were wiped out in one go, which undoubtedly hurt Asura.
So much so that for a long time afterwards, Asura's nest did not dare to come to this area of space.
That is to say, a while ago, forward station nests would occasionally appear, and the regimental-level ships would release small ships to attack without hesitation.
Later, grandson nests and daughter nests gradually emerged.
The regimental-level ships also made moderate attacks, and most of the nests were taken down, but a few Asuras escaped.
Then, the secondary nest appeared.
The attack of the regimental-level ships was still moderate, because the fourth in command on duty already knew that there was something wrong with the artificial intelligence.
He was holding back when fighting, not because he didn't dare to fight, but because he didn't dare to fight.
The team only has so much assets, and he is not the boss, so he cannot make the final decision, and he is not clear about the specific situation of artificial intelligence.
So he only damaged two secondary nests, and the regimental ship itself was slightly damaged.
Asura's probing power is still increasing, and there are already three secondary nests wandering around.
The attacks of these nests on the regimental ships were also tentative, and it was clear that the tragic losses in the previous battle were still fresh in their minds.
I guess Asura was also a little confused. How could the opponent, with such a huge combat power, suddenly disappear? Was it a trap?
But there is no doubt that their temptations are gradually intensifying.
The regiment-level ships have been cruising in that area, and the Fourth Command is not seeking to make any achievements but to avoid making any mistakes, and is steadily wasting the enemy's time.
But now, he felt that the situation was a little bad, so he came to the main force to pass on the message.
The four Nascent Souls discussed it and decided that there was no need to disturb the boss over such a small matter.
So Jia Shuiqing and Duo Gan went to the Shuguang Base together to inquire about the three division-level ships that were sent for maintenance.
Fortunately, because they made sudden returns one after another and never showed mercy to those who tried to test them, there were really no problems with the maintenance of the battleship this time.
The two Alliance division-level ships were relatively poorly maintained; after all, they were not the Empire's standard warships.
However, the division-level ship painted with the digital Phantom logo was very well maintained, and most of its parts had been replaced with new ones.
The two of them brought three warships back to Mushu Planet 258, and also brought two newly promoted supreme beings, Xiangxue and Zi Jiuxian.
After everyone got together, they went to find Qu Jianlei and said that everyone thought they should go to Link Nebula.
Qu Jianlei's condition is still far from recovered, but he is much better than three months ago.
After hearing about the situation, he nodded and said, "Then go ahead. It's just a matter of wear and tear. If the old one doesn't come out, the new one won't come out."
He is quite confident in the quality of his team members and dares to let go.
There are all kinds of talents in the team, and no one can let him down, either strategically or tactically.
He was more concerned about other things. "Oh, this is the Boundary Breaking Shuttle... Everyone can take turns to input spiritual energy."
During this period of time, Qu Jianlei has taken the time to divine how to use the Boundary Breaking Shuttle.
It turns out that this magic weapon can accumulate spiritual energy. When it accumulates to a certain level, it can emit a power comparable to a peak out-of-body attack.
This boundary-breaking shuttle was made by the great Wu Xuan himself.
With enough spiritual energy accumulated and his own cultivation, he can launch two attacks in a short period of time.
These two attacks might not be able to break the out-of-body level mountain protection formation, but he felt it was enough.
It would take too long for Qu Jianlei to fill the Boundary Breaking Shuttle with spiritual energy by himself, so he asked everyone to work together.
If multiple people input spiritual energy, the spiritual power will definitely become more complex, which will not only affect the power, but also reduce the durability of the Boundary Breaking Shuttle.
However, Qu Jianlei believed that the team was in urgent need of this kind of earth-shattering combat power, so they had to fill up their spiritual energy first.
As for the loss of durability, there is nothing we can do about it. Even with normal use, it will still lose durability, it's just a slight one.
This is not a treasure that can be used all the time, but one should not be too greedy. It is already good enough if it can be used five or six times.
As for the situation of the Heart of Time and Space, no one asked - the boss must have done divination, but it was not appropriate to ask casually.
Anyway, if the boss is willing to speak, everyone should listen. If he doesn’t want to speak, then forget it.
Jing Yuexin was a little worried about his health. "Have you mastered the light therapy?"
"I've roughly mastered it," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "but it will take a long time to refine it... Alas."
This sigh made him think of the small lake again.
In the past, he would leave most of the work of calculating this kind of magic to Xiaohu, and he only considered collecting more computing power.
But now, he has to worry about the arrangement and segmentation of a lot of data himself, and artificial intelligence is only responsible for running the data.
In fact, existing artificial intelligence can do more, but Qu Jianlei would rather work harder himself.
He is worried that if too many tasks are assigned to artificial intelligence, new digital life will be born under highly efficient learning.
Such digital life is unlikely to revive the lake, but will instead cover up the previous existence of the lake.
By that time, even if he wanted to revive Xiaohu, it would probably be impossible. Digital overwriting is almost irreversible.
Just because he wanted to preserve that glimmer of hope, he would rather suffer a little.
This hard work not only affected his own adjustments, but also slowed down his speed in calculating the exercises.
However, Qu Jianlei did not regret it, but he couldn't help feeling a little sad when he mentioned it.
Jing Yuexin also knew that the boss had some concerns, but since he didn't say it, she wouldn't ask.
After everyone came out of the cave, they discussed the countermeasures.
Everyone agreed that the area created by Link Nebula should not be easily abandoned.
It is not easy to find a suitable foothold in Asura's territory.
Moreover, if we give up the territory that we have worked so hard to conquer, won’t we be looked down upon by Asura?
We first set the tone, and then began to discuss the specific battle plan.
Later, Xiangxue asked a question that she didn't quite understand, "How should this artificial intelligence be used?"
