Chapter 2643: Turning the Sky
True Venerable Xiaoyou really needs the Heavenly Sound Fish, because the greatest use of this treasure is in sonic attacks and even supernatural powers.
Because of its limited application, even though this thing is rare and truly valuable, you have to rely on luck to sell it for a high price.
If Song Yue'er were here, she would fight tooth and nail to get it.
However, this thing is also quite precious to Xiaoyou—her time-manipulation ability is emitted through sound waves.
What she finds most puzzling is how the other person could possess such an obscure treasure, and moreover, know exactly what she needs.
Her specialty is time manipulation, not actual sonic attacks.
Thinking that the other side had discerned Qu Zhenzun's fortune and now discovered his needs, he realized that the other side's vision was so accurate.
This silly child… Brother Han raised his hand and helplessly touched his forehead: They only care that you are a female cultivator!
The True Venerable's reply was somewhat ambiguous: "I don't have many treasures left. This item... should be destined for you, fellow Daoist."
Ultimately, it was because he was poor. Although the Heavenly Sound Fish could be very valuable if sold to the right person, it was not a universal treasure.
If there is no corresponding demand, under normal circumstances, female cultivators are more willing to pay a higher price than male cultivators.
Xiaoyou finally understood, but she was not the kind of person who would get involved in such karma.
She readily agreed, saying, "This is perfect for me. Just name your price."
She didn't want to take advantage of the other person, but as soon as she said that, the tense atmosphere at the scene immediately eased a lot.
Han Li glared at him, annoyed. "Can't you be a little more sensible? What are we going to do now?"
It's just that this guy isn't from the "Houde" (a term referring to a morally upright person) community; otherwise, he would have had even more to say to the other person.
Xiao You was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
But since things had already come to this, she could only ask directly, "What do you want?"
“I heard that you have made a discovery,” a gaunt-looking True Venerable stepped forward, and the other True Venerables retreated upon seeing this.
Clearly, this person's identity in Lianxing is extraordinary.
He spoke slowly, "We didn't mean to be so rude, but Lianxing can't wait any longer."
Han Li spoke calmly, "That's your own business. We were just passing by. It was the Ruthless Path that offended us."
"This matter is not difficult to handle, and it will certainly satisfy your needs," the withered Venerable replied without hesitation.
Qingkong watched coldly, then suddenly spoke up, "What if we don't agree?"
“Then…” The withered True Venerable hesitated for a moment, while the dog-riding True Venerable cried out anxiously, “Respect, respect!”
"That's really going too far," Han Weizhenzun glanced at him, sighed, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.
“I know what I’m doing,” the withered Venerable nodded slightly.
He looked at the seven True Venerables from beyond the realm, paused, and then sighed, "If they don't agree, we'll have no choice but to shamelessly follow you."
"Huh?" Just then, Qu Jianlei looked at the tall female cultivator opposite him and said, "Fellow Daoist, please have some self-respect!"
He wasn't sure what the other party had done, but it was generally considered to be some kind of mysterious tracking method.
Kunxiu Zhenzun glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Han Li intentionally or unintentionally, "Your side is indeed extraordinary. I have no intention of offending you."
Qu Jianlei finally understood that the other party felt that he had been "taken care of" by the true meaning of creation, so he began to win over the handsome young man.
Being handsome definitely has its advantages...
Han Li was unsure what Qu Zhenzun had discovered, but under these circumstances, she had to clearly state that she had not been tempted by beauty.
His face hardened. "Please make this clear, fellow Daoist. You need to be responsible for your actions."
Kunxiu Zhenzun fell silent, and an eerie silence descended upon the scene.
A dozen or so breaths later, the withered True Venerable looked at True Venerable Qu in surprise, "So it's this young High Venerable... I admire you!"
What the hell is Gao Zun doing now? Qu Jianlei gritted his teeth and sighed, "Everyone... this is a bit inexplicable."
"It was rash of us to enter, but if we insist on forcing them, shouldn't we hold a ceremony first?"
“Your Excellency must have some understanding of this world,” the withered True Venerable said slowly. “We would like to hear more about it.”
“It’s not what you think,” Qu Jianlei slowly shook his head. “I’ve been pondering this for many days and have indeed had some inspiration, but I haven’t achieved anything.”
"Since your attitude is acceptable, I will make it clear that our presence here is due to the karma of the Path of Ruthlessness."
"As for my inspiration, if you all wish to forcibly take it..." He glanced at the spider, "I would appreciate it if Your Majesty would step in."
"Absolutely!" Spider simply uttered a single word, not daring to say more, probably worried that a stutter would damage his image.
The next moment, its form vanished, and a huge spider-like figure appeared in the air, stretching over ten thousand kilometers.
"Great... Great Lord?" The eight True Venerables on the other side were all taken aback.
They had learned through the message from the Ruthless True Venerable that the opponent was not to be trifled with and must be treated with respect.
When they waited for the person at the entrance of the passage, they noticed that although the other party only had seven True Venerables, several of them were clearly skilled fighters.
Considering that it was the notoriously difficult old True Venerable who issued the warning, even though everyone felt that the other side had fewer people, they did not dare to be negligent.
However, when faced with the imposing aura of the Great Lord, the Eight True Lords were somewhat dumbfounded—there was actually a True Lord lingering in this realm?
No one understands Lianxing's current situation better than these True Venerables; that decaying and collapsing aura has a tremendous impact on even True Venerables.
It's perfectly normal for the king to be unable to tolerate it.
However, upon seeing the spider's phantom, the many True Venerables did not panic, but only confirmed one thing—they must indeed be respectful!
The withered True Venerable composed himself, raised his hand and bowed to the spider phantom, "Greetings, Great Lord!"
However, he simply bowed, because... he was not worthy to say anything more!
The one who truly resides in the body of the Great Lord is indeed worthy of being someone I have sensed – definitely not an ordinary True Venerable.
He spoke very politely, "Your Excellency, may I say a few words? You should be the one whom the Mysterious Venerable has appointed to save the heavens."
“Xuan Zun…” Qu Jianlei touched his forehead, “And who is this powerful being?”
"Unity," Han Li said calmly, "has no fixed rules; in some places it is called Xuanzun."
The beings at the Integration Stage are so ethereal that no one knows how to refer to them.
Or perhaps it's because it's so rare that there seems to be no need for a general term—of course, maybe we haven't reached that level yet.
“Merge… alright,” Qu Jianlei sighed in distress, “I hope this ‘Heaven-Saving’ isn’t as bad as I think.”
“It’s probably as bad as you think,” Xiaoyou said, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him. “His full name is ‘Save the Sky’…”
“You’ve got the wrong person…it must be,” Qu Jianlei said helplessly, looking up at the starry sky. Unfortunately, he couldn’t say he was “speechless and gazing at the sky.”
He felt he was being wronged. "Do you know my background?"
On a garbage planet, someone emerged who could save the world—if I told the truth, would you believe me?
Believe it or not, I don't believe it! He sighed helplessly, "Sorry, all I know how to do is kill, I don't even know how to save people!"
Let alone saving the entire world!
“This is… interesting!” Han Li couldn’t help but say, pausing before adding, “I can think about it when I get back.”
That was the legendary ability to save the world from collapse; even a Divine Lord might not have seen it.
He even had some other ideas, but since he was facing a supreme being from beyond the realm, there were some things he couldn't say.
“Damn it…” Qingkong Zhenzun muttered softly.
He didn't state his own position, but it was clear that he didn't strongly support Qu Zhenzun, which was enough to explain his current mindset.
Jin Ge, who had been mostly silent, bluntly stated, "What does Lianxing's collapse have to do with us?"
The Master of Arts is not cold-blooded; rather, he is always very particular about rules and regulations. He felt that the other party's request was illogical and unreasonable.
“This matter was originally not subject to cause and effect,” the withered Venerable said solemnly, “but it became a matter of cause and effect when the High Venerable arrived.”
"This, how is this possible?" Qu Jianlei shook his head, both laughing and crying. "I... sigh, I just want to be a carefree hermit."
"The High Venerable was divined by the Mysterious Venerable tens of thousands of years ago," the withered True Venerable said solemnly, "This is the only glimmer of life in the entire Star Realm."
"Don't worry, he might," Han Li finally came to his senses. The news he had just heard had really shocked him.
A cold smile crept across his lips. "You said it yourself, it was just a possibility. Now you're saying it's certain?"
"Besides, how could a mere Star Realm like Lianxing Boundary produce a Xuanzun? I really don't believe it!"
Having stayed in this realm for some time, the group naturally searched for a lot of information, and even did not rule out using divination methods.
Even for a True Venerable, encountering a strange and unfamiliar world is a rare opportunity, so they will naturally try their best to explore and find out more.
Perhaps they arrived too late. In any case, after considering all the information, Han Li did not believe that this realm could catch up with Houde.
The legends of seventh-order spiritual veins and Nascent Soul stage experts certainly exist, but... are they really in this realm?
"I am not sure whether Xuanzun came from Lianxing," Kugao Zhenzun said, not taking offense at the other party's offense.
"I am not qualified to discuss the news of Xuanzun, but I can say with certainty that this prophecy has always existed."
"A prophecy?" Sure enough, it was Xiaoyou, the curious one, who spoke up again.
She was too young, or rather, inexperienced, and extremely curious, not to mention something as rare as turning the tide.
However, she was somewhat dissatisfied with the word, "So our appearance is a disaster, not a good thing?"
“It is a prophecy about the collapse of the heavens,” the withered Venerable sighed. “Tens of thousands of years ago, someone pointed out that the stars were on a downward trend.”
Isn't it normal for a world to decline? There are new life and growth, and naturally there are also decay and extinction.
The Star Realm at that time had already begun to age; after all, it was a mature world that had been around for so long.
Many people are talking about this, and on the surface, they feel that even the Star Realm is too old, and they don't know when things might change.
The one who made the accurate prediction was a truly gifted being with unique expertise in divination.
He believes it's something that will happen in the next ten thousand years or so.
