Chapter 2611 The True Meaning of Destiny
Qu Jianlei didn't think his asking price was outrageous. He calmly stated, "For any transaction, I have to be willing first, right?"
"You're trying to force me to buy and sell, and you're blaming me for asking for too much? If you offered enough, I'd accept being forced to buy and sell. Isn't it because you can't afford it?"
“You certainly have a lot of nerve,” the human-faced man said, still not angry. “But now, this isn’t the time for you to play the victim, understand?”
"Understood," Qu Jianlei said simply, without adding anything further.
However, he believes that the other party will not simply believe those two words.
Sure enough, the face spoke up the next moment, "You haven't been a True Venerable for long, do you still remember the word 'doctor'?"
"Everyone says that no patient dares to mess with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. What do you think?"
“I’ll see with my own eyes,” Qu Jianlei smiled calmly, “and I also want to see what the Great Khan looks like when he’s angry!”
After enduring this for so long, he finally decided... he couldn't take it anymore!
Because the other party has lived long enough, not to mention that they might be able to read his mind, their experience is simply too rich.
How many years can a demigod live? He doesn't know yet, but if the lifespan of a body is six thousand, a demigod should be at least twelve thousand years, right?
The other party is nearing the end of his life. He is only a few hundred years old. How can he compete with an old monster who has lived for ten thousand years?
So there's really no need to hold back anymore; we might as well go all out.
He is not guaranteed to win... No, he has almost no chance of winning, but that doesn't mean he can't fight.
It has nothing to do with impulsiveness or anything like that. The key is that he is an old monster who is nearing the end of his life, and he cannot be judged by ordinary standards!
You want to reason with him? He has to be willing to reason.
As mentioned earlier, in the cultivation world, over 90% of rapidly declining families had a mad ancestor nearing the end of their lifespan.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Nascent Soul Grandmaster can play such a big game, how much more so a Nascent Soul Grandmaster whose lifespan is nearing its end?
"Want to see me angry? That won't be easy," the human face remained calm, suggesting a depth of mind that had indeed lived for over ten thousand years.
He said slowly and deliberately, "You are a doctor. I asked you to help with diagnosis and treatment. Is it possible that you are not satisfied?"
I was very dissatisfied with the invitation process! Qu Jianlei smiled and didn't want to say anything.
"It's inconvenient for me to meet Ling Yun," the face said calmly, knowing perfectly well what the other person was thinking.
"I originally planned to sneak in quietly, but I never expected Taiyuan Sea to activate the detection. Even so, I didn't intend to force them to come."
"I only changed my mind when I found out you used the Creation Body Tempering technique."
Having discovered the power of body tempering… Qu Jianlei’s expression turned serious, and he spoke solemnly, “This is actually not difficult.”
“No, it’s very difficult,” the face said bluntly. “The difficulty for astral projection lies in the state of mind, and the difficulty for séance with the spirit is also in the state of mind.”
This was a bit convoluted, but Qu Jianlei really understood it.
He nodded. "I have a similar feeling. The difficulty in cultivating the power of time lies in the level of mastery required..."
“You really do know,” the human face sighed softly. “Unfortunately, I have no hope of ever getting a glimpse of the Integration Realm.”
After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Do you want the true meaning of destiny?"
"Fate..." Qu Jianlei's lips twitched involuntarily. This guy's insight was truly extraordinary.
The other True Lords... at least the Spider shouldn't have noticed that he had the aura of the character "运" on him, but this one seems to have noticed something?
Such a serious matter was obviously not something he could admit, but he didn't even consider denying it—that would be futile.
So he simply asked, "Does fate... also have a true meaning?"
"I thought you were unmoved by anything," the human face scoffed. "Fate may not have a true meaning, but it can be extracted..."
"Do you know how many world cores you've wasted?"
"Wow," a flash of inspiration struck Qu Jianlei, and he nodded in sudden realization, "Thank you, senior, I've learned a lot!"
He didn't even have time to be surprised at how the other party knew about the core of the world, nor did he consider whether he might develop greed.
At that moment, he was truly grateful for the other person's guidance, which broadened his horizons and gave him new ideas.
Although he doesn't have much of the world's core left, as long as he has an idea, he has a direction to strive for.
This means that no matter how a world is destroyed, it can be attributed to fate.
So, it's possible to extract the true meaning related to destiny from the remaining core of the world.
Fate does not truly have a fixed meaning, or even if it does, its impermanent nature makes it impossible to preserve stably.
Even the will of the world cannot bear the true meaning of destiny—no world can exist forever.
Therefore, the Heavenly Way, which is associated with the world's will, is still not a complete destiny; at the very least, it cannot control the destiny of its own world.
However, after the world is destroyed, there will definitely be some corresponding higher-dimensional elements in the remaining core of the world.
Therefore, it is indeed possible to try to extract the true meaning of destiny from it.
"Just don't keep it to yourself," the face said calmly. "I have many more ideas like this. Are they enough for you to help me out?"
“Knowledge is priceless,” Qu Jianlei nodded first, “I completely agree with that…”
"But!" the face interrupted him without hesitation, "Just say 'but' directly, and skip all those ineffective communication steps!"
Qu Jianlei readily agreed, "but I haven't decided what to ask, and it would be troublesome to verify."
"Verification is too troublesome?" The face was somewhat displeased. "This suspicion... you really have no respect for the Great Khan."
“This only applies to you, senior,” Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, “because you no longer care about cause and effect!”
To put it bluntly: you're nearing the end of your life, do you still care about a person's character?
"You really..." The face stopped mid-sentence, too lazy to finish.
He then brought up another topic, "I haven't decided what to ask... Is it because I'm worried about the secrets of that cultivation technique?"
There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
This phenomenon does indeed exist when cultivators discuss the Dao. The one who seeks guidance may gain something, but other participants may gain even more.
But the human face was indeed a bit speechless: a mere True Venerable, worried that I would covet your things?
This time, Qu Jianlei wasn't going to tolerate the other party anymore. He nodded without hesitation, "There are indeed similar concerns."
"If the Great Khan thinks I am worthless, would he force me to make a deal?"
He revered the True Lord, but he would never belittle himself because of it.
"You're really sharp-tongued," the man frowned slightly, a rare occurrence for him. "So, this also can't sway you?"
We lack a foundation of mutual trust! Qu Jianlei was too lazy to explain, "Your Majesty, just tell me directly what you want me to do."
"I will set a price based on the difficulty level. Even if we can't reach an agreement, we can still be on good terms even if the deal falls through."
"Benevolence and righteousness are at stake..." the figure muttered softly, then suddenly asked, "What if it's beyond your capabilities?"
This is not a simple question; it has many hidden implications, at least one of which is—you'll find out far too much when the time comes!
"I trust the Great Lord's judgment," Qu Jianlei said, deflecting the blame. "What the hell does this have to do with me!"
"It was because you thought it was feasible that you brought me here. If you're unsure and want me to confirm your ability..."
"Then I'll take the easy way out, admit I can't do it, and voluntarily give up this lucrative deal. How about we just forget about it?"
"You're really tough," the figure shook his head helplessly, then said calmly.
"Fine, I'm too lazy to tease you anymore. Help me with a cultivator who's trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and give me reasonable advice, provided that I approve of it!"
"Since you won't mention compensation, then I..."
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei interrupted him, "I haven't agreed to go. This is my stance as a doctor. Please reconsider?"
“Don’t force me to use force,” the face said calmly. “You don’t think I can only speak calmly, do you?”
"Then what kind of doctor are you talking about?" Qu Jianlei muttered, not caring at all, as he hadn't expected the other party to give up suppressing his cultivation.
However, there is one point he must emphasize: "Let me state in advance that I may not be able to give a satisfactory answer."
"You were able to help the Azure Dragon successfully advance to the next level," the human-faced man said calmly. "If even dragons can do it, why are you telling me humans can't?"
You could tell from his tone that his emotions didn't seem very stable.
“Every out-of-body experience is different,” Qu Jianlei replied calmly. “In reality, differences not only exist, but they are also vastly different.”
"Any discussion of astral projection that ignores specific circumstances is just a perfunctory excuse."
"Well... you're right," the face had to admit this time; it was indeed common sense, though easily overlooked.
"Let's go take a look."
"Wait a moment," Qu Jianlei said. "I need to understand one thing: it should have taken quite some time to advance to the next level, so why are you only in a hurry now?"
This time, his tone was very firm, because once witnessed, the damage would be irreversible.
But the face doesn't want to say, "Why are there so many whys?"
"Then please make your move, Your Majesty," Qu Jianlei said calmly, his body beginning to ethereal.
Regardless of whether the other party forces him to go or attacks him, he intends to accept it and will never surrender.
He had encountered many dangers during his childhood, but this was definitely one of the most dangerous situations.
Not only were they plotted against, but the plotter was a powerful ruler of a higher realm, someone nearing the end of his life who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
He had no combat partners by his side—people like Feng Yiwang were completely useless.
However, he was still able to remain calm. He had made assumptions and deductions about this desperate situation, and not just a few times.
The main reason is that he possesses too many treasures, and if the news were to leak, he would have to face all sorts of potential dangers.
Fortunately, the other party did not want him to feel dissatisfied or underestimate his level of cultivation, so they did not place any restrictions on him.
"This..." The blurry face distorted slightly, and a massive aura flashed by.
The impact of the aura suddenly intensified the etherealization of Qu Jianlei's body.
Fortunately, the face ultimately managed to control its emotions, and the imposing aura only lasted for a fleeting moment.
