Chapter 2673 Baptism of Life and Death
Others were very curious about Qu Zhenzun's thoughts, but he shook his head and offered no further explanation.
Han Li and Xiao You exchanged a glance and secretly resolved to avoid this person when they were arguing, so as not to scare him away again.
Just as the three groups were about to leave, Song Yue'er and Xi Wu came over again.
These two only left behind clones in the Asura World and the Tree Race World, essentially giving up further exploration.
It's not that we gained nothing at all, but it's like the saying "there are dates, but no dates, three poles."
They've now set their sights on other alternate worlds, promising to just go and see what they can gain along the way.
Simply put, it means ensuring that information about the boundary is not leaked, and not actively intervening in the matter of saving the world without receiving an invitation.
This attitude left Jin Ge and Qing Kong with no choice but to take Song Yue'er with them, while the latter took Xi Wu with him.
In fact, the number of people involved in the Three True Ones' exploration of a world was not large.
Especially since each group also includes a True Venerable from Lianxing, they might be banned from entering if they encounter a cultivation world...
Seeing this, Han Wei also made an appointment with True Venerable Yue Ran, with basically the same request.
He's quite old, and his main task is to protect Xiaoyou; he's not really interested in adventures.
Not long after the three groups set off, the free-floating fifth-order spiritual veins in the Houde Realm were completely stabilized.
After receiving the message, Qu Jianlei went to drag the spiritual vein into the spatial interlayer.
Previously, he did not have a complete concept for this operation, let alone a specific operational approach.
His original idea was to seek help from Han Li and learn from her ideas.
If necessary, he will also need to invite some helpers to complete the task.
However, after decades of hard work, especially recently integrating the Lesser World into the Middle Thousand World, he has gained a lot of theoretical knowledge.
Especially in terms of practical skills, his accumulated experience is nothing like that of a novice who has just started learning.
He could basically do it by himself, like dragging the spiritual vein into the spatial interlayer, but that would take a relatively long time.
Xiao You and Han Li also followed, and the two not only protected him but also took turns helping him.
Because there's no need to consider consumption, there are no pauses during the hand-switching process, which increases efficiency by more than five times.
The project took about a year to complete.
During this period, the three also had many debates and communications regarding the relevant operations.
Qu Jianlei hopes to operate according to his own ideas—after all, this is his foundation, and there are relevant considerations.
Unfortunately, he came from a self-taught background, and his thinking on many details differed from the existing system.
Therefore, even the Dharma protectors were not idle during this year and a half, and would discuss the Dharma from time to time.
Qu Zhenzun's ideas and thoughts were quite insightful, which impressed the two of them—this was also a gain.
Their questioning and explanations made Qu Jianlei understand some of the orthodox cultivation world's thinking more clearly.
This is a win-win-win situation. After all, no matter how rich the imagination of unorthodox methods is, they will eventually have to move towards the mainstream.
Because the three argued so fiercely, and the act of gathering spiritual veins was a public matter, it eventually attracted five or six True Venerables to listen in.
Some people, enjoying the spectacle, might occasionally chime in or defend one side.
In the end, even the two True Venerables, Tianli and Qianhuan, stepped in to help Qu Jianlei drag the spiritual vein—it wouldn't be appropriate for Bai Ting to do so.
This was a small-scale, application-based discussion, and much of the content was later disseminated and gained popularity again.
The consequence of this is that many True Venerables have realized that the unique insights they possess are not limited to the concept of leaving the body.
As a result, many people believe that although he may not have a complete lineage, he is absolutely gifted in terms of his cultivation philosophy!
After finishing this task, Qu Zhenzun's next step is to find an uninhabited area to embed a fifth-order spiritual vein.
Just like Han Li's Jiuyou Island, besides having a fifth-order spiritual vein, it also needs a carrier, right?
In fact, Han Li had already helped him find several uninhabited small areas.
Although the conditions are average, with basically nothing to offer, the fifth-order spiritual vein will naturally nurture it.
That's how he created his own Jiuyou Island.
However, Qu Jianlei felt it was unnecessary. "Thank you for your hard work, but since it involves the world's joy... I'll just get a piece from the void."
"Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for such a small area?" Han Li was a little surprised. You're being too meticulous, aren't you?
The three of them left abruptly, leaving the remaining True Venerables looking at each other in bewilderment—had the discussion of Dao just come to an end like that?
After a long pause, someone suddenly spoke up, "Master Qu Zhen's ambitions are not small!"
A plate that can exist in the void is at least roughly equivalent to a small world—it must have some protection to prevent it from being eroded by the void.
Some even speculated that he might be planning to create another livable little world for himself.
However, Xiao You supported Qu Jianlei's idea, saying, "A small world dominated by a fifth-order spiritual vein can be developed into a foundation for establishing a sect."
Han Li found it a bit tiresome, "How much do you want to steal his team?"
"A way out, just a way out," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile. There's nothing he can do; that's just how people with a poor sense of security are.
He would prepare a secret vault when he was weak, and even now that he is powerful, he can't change the habit he subconsciously developed.
Fortunately, although such small realms are extremely rare in the void, they enter and exit the void far too often.
Six months later, the three returned from the void and actually managed to gather a small world.
The small world is not large, only about 500,000 square kilometers. It is desolate and unsuitable for any life to live in.
But this is nothing serious; we can improve it gradually in the future.
The three teams have been out for over two years, and not a single one has returned. We have no idea what happened.
Fortunately, they are all in the camp of the Three True Venerables, so even if they can't win, they should be able to escape.
Two months later, Jing Yuexin emerged from seclusion, saying that she felt she had trained herself sufficiently.
Qu Jianlei escorted her to Qing Ning's spiritual vein.
He was actually using the spiritual veins of Tianli, but after so many years of tempering his body in the void, Boss Jing had almost become a sight to behold in Cangwu.
With so many people watching, sending the person to Qingning and her husband first was also a smokescreen.
Then he stopped there, and Han Li and Xiao You released their clones to protect him outside.
In fact, they were also very interested to see how Qu Zhenzun would finally baptize Jing Yuexin.
This is Qu Zhenzun's greatest gain in the Yelang Realm—the understanding of birth and death that he comprehended during the process of transforming into the Dao!
If he didn't have this purpose, he might not have kept using the power of birth and death, and it eventually became the main battlefield!
Han Li once said that the Dao is part of creation, and is itself a process of birth and death. Qu Jianlei agrees with this point.
At that time, he thought that Jing Yuexin's path to Nirvana was essentially also a cycle of birth and death!
Nirvana is simply the rebirth that follows complete annihilation; however, even if it is more complete, it is still largely the same.
Whether it's Han Li, Xiao You, Tai Yuan Hai, or many other obsessions, their evaluation of the Nirvana system is not very high.
It was a bloodline imbued with true meaning, an instinctive process of advancement, which, strictly speaking, was slightly inferior to the true meaning of birth and death.
Even the upper limit is a little bit lower.
However, there was no other way; Jing Yuexin had always followed this path, and her foundation was damaged due to too much deficiency during the Nascent Soul stage.
These deficiencies can only be remedied through a sufficiently powerful nirvana when one undergoes the breakthrough to the other body, which can be described as "you are what you eat."
Once successful, all previous shortcomings can be made up for, and when faced with a challenge or distraction, one can calmly choose their own path.
Unfortunately, the essence of Nirvana bloodline is mainly concentrated among the demon race, and Qu Jianlei really doesn't have a similar connection.
Qinglong can be considered a demon, but she refuses to reveal information about demons—she doesn't harm people, but she also won't betray her origins.
Qu Jianlei felt embarrassed to force her, believing that one should not do to others what one would not have them do to you.
In his mind, as long as the demon race doesn't harm people, it's fine. Even if they are from other races, there's no need to force them to fight each other.
Therefore, when he was fighting desperately against the Quasi-Great Lord in the Yelang Realm, his greatest motivation was to comprehend and absorb more of the aura of birth and death!
Otherwise, he would have had no reason to risk being transformed into a demon to persist in this operation.
To put it simply, he knew very well that both Xiaoyou and Hanli had powerful trump cards that could easily cripple their opponent.
It's not impossible to kill them on the spot.
He insisted on continuing at the time mainly because "Xiao Jing needs it," and also to pay homage to the hypocrite.
After that battle, he turned and left, partly because Xiaoyou had spoken too boldly, and partly because he had gained enough.
He never even imagined that after he left, there would be a belated joy in the world!
Jing Yuexin has now completed the Void Tempering and can now undergo the baptism of the aura of birth and death.
A few years ago, he couldn't have done it, but now he really can.
Han Li and the other person also heard him explain this cause and effect, and took the initiative to request permission to observe.
Qu Jianlei naturally wouldn't mind. After these two returned, they were willing to share some of the joy of the world with him, which was indeed quite generous.
To be honest, his standards are a bit low. Neither Han Li nor Xiao You are the kind of people who are stingy when it comes to doing things.
However, he didn't see it that way. Nothing in this world is ever taken for granted, let alone the two lovers rekindling their old flame.
What doesn't he understand about these matters between men and women?
Both of them reacted strongly, saying that this was truly eye-opening—who would have thought that birth and death could increase the success rate of Nirvana?
There is a series of abnormal perceptions involved here, which cannot be explained in just a few words.
For example, almost no one uses this system to achieve an out-of-body experience.
For example, if you're going to use the True Meaning of Life and Death to help a cultivator condense their Nascent Soul, it's better to just crush them to death—they can't withstand it anyway.
Qu Jianlei believes that although Han Li and Xiao You may seem arrogant at first glance, they understand the value of emotions!
The truth was not what he thought—in fact, both of them were genuinely shocked!
