Chapter 2002 Dare to be the First (Booked as a guaranteed monthly ticket for next month)
Immortal Yongheng was somewhat surprised by Qu Jianlei's question... You are a real man if you dare to covet the treasures of the Star Palace.
He looked surprised and then slowly shook his head.
“This is not easy. Even if you fight against the demons and accumulate merits, you are still a Dongsheng cultivator after all.”
The treasures in the Star Palace are not open to the public, but if outsiders have accumulated great merits, they can also try to exchange them.
As for cultivators outside Zhongzhou, you basically don’t need to worry about them.
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, not upset by this rule. Some discrimination is natural.
The key point is that he wants to make a fuss, but he can’t do it, right?
So Qu Jianlei could only settle for the next best thing, "Can you get a list of the treasures?"
Your request... Immortal Yongheng was a little speechless. He actually wanted to ask what Hongyeling asked Duan Bowen to investigate.
Duan Bowen did not tell the Five Friends Alliance about this news, but the Five Friends Alliance’s intelligence capabilities are not given for nothing.
It would have been fine if I hadn't noticed it before, but once I paid attention to it, all the recent situations of Immortal Bo Wen were collected.
Immortal Yongheng divined out some more information, and he really did have a friend in the Star Palace who had been trying to understand this matter recently.
However, his friend's reply was a little late, so he asked Qu Jianlei, when will you return to Dongsheng.
Unexpectedly, Lord Qu Ling actually made such a request.
Immortal Yongheng could only say, "It's unlikely that there will be a treasure list, but we can ask around for some popular resources."
"Then I'll trouble you," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "It's just right, you should have more dealings with the Star Palace."
"I understand," Immortal Yongheng nodded. Their future cooperation with Hongye Ridge would sooner or later be targeted by the Star Palace.
After this conversation, Qu Jianlei felt that he had been away for more than a month and it was time to go back to Dongsheng.
In addition to releasing the detectors at regular intervals, the sale of laser weapons must also be considered.
On the fifth day after returning to Dongsheng, a shocking news came that a Nascent Soul Demon was suspected to have appeared in Sanheyuan!
The demon appeared silently. Even though Mikawahara had several detectors, he failed to discover it in advance.
Fortunately, the Immortal Ke Liang was in Mikawahara, and he had a ship-borne laser cannon in his hands.
Ke Liang used various spells and the cooperation of laser cannons to successfully inflict heavy damage on the demon.
After the demon escaped, it took almost half a month just to clean up the remaining demonic energy.
Then, samples of the Heavenly Demonic Qi were sent to Hongye Ridge, escorted personally by the Thousand-Handed Immortal.
Ke Liang still stayed in Sanheyuan because he was not sure whether a new demon would appear.
However, Qu Jianlei calculated that this was just a demon at the peak of the Golden Core stage - if it had not hidden its cultivation.
The Cultivator Alliance came to visit again, and this time there were three True Immortals, hoping that Hongye Ridge would open up the sale of laser weapons.
Qu Jianlei really had no other choice, so he handed the matter over to Xiangxue to handle, "It's not too much, it's not too little, just sell a little."
The news that Hongyeling was going to sell laser weapons spread throughout Dongsheng almost overnight.
Yanjiafang City was already very lively, and now the liveliness level has increased rapidly again.
But soon after that, Qu Jianlei disappeared again. When other people came to visit Hongyeling, they could only see Jing Yuexin at most.
When others asked about Lord Qu Ling's news, she simply said: Lord Qu Ling is speeding up the improvement of the probe.
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.
On this day, patrols were suddenly stepped up around Hongye Ridge, with everyone holding probes, as if facing a great enemy.
Even Wu Laoliu, who has rarely appeared recently, showed up.
They also told people nearby to avoid moving around in the near future.
After hearing this, Yan Xuemin rushed over to find out what had happened.
But he didn't see anyone from the Hongyeling core team at all. He was received by Zhenren Huanwei, not even Wu Laoliu.
Huan Wei said solemnly that this was Lord Qu Ling's order and everyone just had to follow it.
Yan Xuemin was a little unhappy and said, "It would be okay if you just report it - don't you know the relationship between the Yan family and Hongyeling?"
Finally, Wu Laoliu hurried over. After seeing Yan Xuemin, he hesitated and said: Maybe someone is going to undergo a tribulation!
Yan Xuemin understood immediately. It was indeed very dangerous to survive the catastrophe during the invasion of the demons. "This is really... daring to be the first!"
At some point half a month later, wisps of clouds appeared in the sky and gradually moved towards Hongye Ridge.
At this time, there were already many cultivators watching on the outskirts of Hongye Ridge.
This was the first time that someone tried to survive the tribulation after the Heavenly Demon appeared in Dongsheng. Almost all the powerful forces sent people to wait and see.
Those who dare to say that they are transcending tribulation are at least those who are striving for the Golden Core stage, or those who are refining Qi to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. They are really not worthy of saying so.
However, there is no one in the Qi Refining stage among Hongyeling’s core team, and this is known to everyone.
After the invasion of the Heavenly Demons, there were still examples of people in the Qi Refining Stage trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage on the Dongsheng Continent.
There is no way around it. The life span in the Qi Refining Stage is limited. When the time comes, you must break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. There can be no delay.
Moreover, now it is only the demons that are infiltrating. Once a full-scale invasion hits the foundation, it will only be more dangerous.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the probability of successfully building a foundation has dropped sharply in the past two years. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the devil.
The good thing is that someone will succeed in building a foundation, instead of being wiped out.
But even so, some cultivators who were planning to reach the Golden Core stage had their efforts delayed - the Yan family had such a disciple.
There is no way, it is really too scary. No one can be sure how low the probability of breaking through the level is at this moment.
So when the news spread that someone in Hongye Ridge was planning to survive the tribulation, all the decent forces came.
But they all know the rules. Even if they are watching, they will watch from a distance and will never get close.
As time goes by, the clouds grow thicker.
Although Dongsheng's foundation is not as good as Zhongzhou's, there is no shortage of discerning people. "This calamity cloud...isn't the cold and gloomy aura a bit heavy?"
"It doesn't feel right. How about notifying the ancestor?"
At the beginning, there were only four or five Nascent Soul ancestors observing, but later on, the number of Nascent Soul ancestors watching reached double digits.
Zhu Jiayi finally stopped hiding his friendship with Hongyeling and sent out his divine sense, "Master Quling, do you need help?"
"Forget it!" Qu Jianlei responded, but he did not show up. "Protect yourself."
"This tribulation is a little strange. Friends who are watching, it's best to step back."
He really wasn't exaggerating, but the various pieces of information about Tianyin's tribulation this time were conflicting.
In theory, it is a very simple matter for him to predict the breakthrough of a foundation-building phase to the golden elixir phase, and there is basically no need to consider the backlash.
But in reality, it is not the case. If he predicts today, his success rate can reach about 80%, but it will drop to less than 10% tomorrow.
Just like a roller coaster, the height fluctuations are quite dramatic and there is no regularity.
Qu Jianlei discovered this by accident, so he disappeared for so long, and spent every day figuring out the pattern.
Even Jiao Daoren and Yi He were thinking about this matter. In the past two months, the three of them had been brainstorming every day.
But generally speaking, they can still conclude that this was due to the invasion of demons.
The three of them tended to believe that since the demons began to infiltrate, no one in Dongsheng had ever tried to break through to the Jindan stage, which would accumulate some hatred.
But Tianyin's physique... I'm afraid he will have to bear some consequences. After all, the thing the demon hates most is light-based magic.
So when Qu Jianlei discovered that Tianyin was starting to attack the Baodan stage with all his strength, he decisively ordered a high-intensity maintenance of order.
Tianyin also set a record in the team. There have never been so many people protecting a member who is trying to reach the Jindan stage!
Among the six Yuanying, Jia Shuiqing and Qing Hu are still in Zhongzhou, but the others have gathered, even Jiao Daoren, Yi He and Xizhao!
Finally, on the seventh day when dark clouds gathered, a slight space fluctuation was heard in the space above Hongye Ridge.
The fluctuation is really very slight. If there weren't so many people sensing it carefully, I'm afraid it might not be discovered!
Ji Xiaohua was two hundred kilometers away from Hongye Ridge - even he, the head of the Ji family, was attracted to this tribulation.
Around him were the children of the Ji family, He Jiuling, and a group of children of the He family.
He was holding a compass-like object in his hand, which looked inconspicuous.
However, at this moment, a faint red glow appeared on the surface of the compass.
"There is a weak spot in the space," Ji Xiaohua said softly, "Fellow Daoist Qu's divination skills are becoming more and more sophisticated."
No one dared to respond to his words, and only He Jiuling, who was also a True Immortal, could ask, "Can the Golden Core Heavenly Demon descend?"
It is difficult for high-level demons to penetrate into weak points in space, so low-level ones are more suitable.
It's like a ground war. The narrow paths can only be used by reconnaissance troops or assault teams. Large troops... are impossible.
It is also because of this that, so far, the demons that have infiltrated Dongsheng are mostly at the foundation-building level or below.
Otherwise, a while ago, a demon who looked like a Nascent Soul appeared in Mikawahara, making everyone nervous for a while.
If even the Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon can enter Dongsheng, then a full-scale invasion is really not far away.
The compass in Ji Xiaohua's hand is the Ji family's magic weapon for detecting weak points in space. The Ji family's tens of thousands of years of heritage is not given for nothing.
But he still shook his head and said softly, "It's hard to say what will happen to the Golden Core Heavenly Demon. The right thing to do is for us to retreat a little."
At the same time, Qu Jianlei also looked up at the weak point, but then he lowered his head and raised his hand to calculate again.
Not long after, the red light of the compass in Ji Xiaohua's hand became more and more obvious, and he had now retreated nearly a hundred kilometers.
He sighed softly and spoke slowly, "Ji family members, prepare the battle formation, thunder talismans and laser weapons... stand by at all times!"
He Jiuling glanced at him, then glared fiercely at his own Jindan disciple beside him, "Just do as I say, why are you still in a daze?"
The next moment, the fluctuations in space became more violent.
Suddenly, that space shook violently twice, and an extremely cold breath gushed out!
"Be careful, it's probably a group of demons!" A divine consciousness spread out, vast and boundless, "Prepare for battle!"
