Chapter 2693 What a loss
Kan Shui was indeed a true lord. After a few breaths, it realized what was happening and couldn't help but mutter softly.
"And fate... Such a young True Venerable, you released him from Houde, and yet, yet, yet, you defied the Great Lord?"
In the eyes of a True Lord, those below the Body Awakening are nothing but ants, and he might not even lend a helping hand for something as simple as lifting a finger.
But having comprehended birth and death, tempered his body with creation, and cultivated destiny, he is still such a young True Venerable…
Even in a remote and impoverished area, Houde would surely know what kind of talent this is.
Jade cannot become a useful object without being carved, and a towering tree cannot grow in a greenhouse; everyone understands this principle.
But you've sent this kind of talent to rebel against the king, and not just once...
Has such a prodigy, with unparalleled talent, ever existed in the entire history of the Houde Realm? Has there ever been one?
After a pause of more than ten breaths, it asked again, "How do you preserve the true meaning of destiny?"
The Great King is indeed a Great King; it did not question the existence of the true meaning of fate, but it preserved... It was not afraid to admit that it did not understand.
"I don't know," Han Li's answer was truly unique. "We thought the Great Khan knew."
"Your temper..." True Monarch Kan Shui was clearly about to say something unfriendly again.
However, in the end, it held back, "Even the greatest ruler is not omnipotent."
It was clearly annoyed and no longer interested in talking.
After a long while, True Venerable Qingkong said out of the blue, "True Venerable Qingkong is a key person that Lingyun is supporting."
He was truly indignant that the other party actually thought that Qu Zhenzun was not valued, even though the sect had done a lot of work.
"Lingyun...is that Houde who's in charge of the sect?" Kan Shui Zhenjun's words once again revealed the arrogance of the Celestial Dragons.
However, when it learned that Qu Jianlei had actually received the sect's support as an outsider, it couldn't help but sigh.
“The cultivation resources of a True Venerable… It is rare to find a sect with such courage and determination in such a small place as Houde.”
No matter what kind of cultivation world it is, even the legitimate Yuxiu world that Yuxiu pays tribute to, cultivation resources have never been abundant.
The higher the level of the resource, the harder it is to obtain. True Venerable level resources... even the True Venerables of Yuxiu don't have many.
True Monarch Kanshui could conceive that Lingyun's generous support for cultivators outside the sect was motivated by a certain degree of self-interest, as he aimed to cultivate exceptional combat power with profound virtue.
But so what? Having such vision is already quite remarkable!
"Hundred Bridges..." Upon hearing this, Qingkong Zhenzun couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Those cunning guys do have a tendency to be calculating, but sometimes they can actually be quite useful for saving face!
After exchanging a few words, True Lord Kanshui couldn't help but ask, "How do you usually obtain this true meaning of destiny?"
Han Li looked at the white mist, "A true meaning of creation!"
"I've never seen anything good before," Kan Shui Zhenjun sneered, and a white light flew towards Han Li.
"No one else is allowed to listen... By the way, if you say any more of that nonsense, you'll face the consequences!"
Han Li accepted the true meaning of creation, thanked him with a beaming smile, and then secretly transmitted four words: "World Core!"
"Holy crap!" True Monarch Kan Shui was stunned for only a few breaths before he reacted and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's insane!"
A true ruler's understanding is not much different. Although it's not exactly a matter of a thin veil, once you see through it, it's not that complicated.
If it wants to understand things on its own, it must verify them through appropriate means.
However, if the other party can say it with absolute certainty, and it cannot sense any deception, then it is confirmed that the truth can be obtained in this way.
However, obtaining the true meaning of destiny by refining the core of the world... is truly insane.
Having lived for so many years, Kan Shui Zhenjun has seen many bloody scenes, but most of the time, it lives in the Yuxiu Realm.
Not only is the environment there beautiful, but there is also little conflict. Compared to other cultivation worlds, it can truly be considered a paradise on earth.
To obtain the world's core, one must first find the destroyed world and then quickly seize its core.
Otherwise, the world's core will rapidly dissipate...
Therefore, these treasures are quite rare, and some of them... at least some of them do indeed come from worlds that naturally disappeared.
However, most world cores originated from the cores that emerged from worlds that were destroyed on the spot.
Why would the world explode? It could be destroyed by war, but it could also be deliberately destroyed!
Just like now, the opponent has many True Venerables. With so many True Venerables joining forces, almost no Middle Thousand World can withstand the attack.
Kan Shui Zhenjun, who had lived in Yuxiu for many years, suspected that the other party might have deliberately destroyed the world's core for the sake of the true meaning of destiny...
Even just thinking about that kind of scene makes it unbearable to look at.
It also knew that it might have been thinking too cruelly of the other party.
But the problem is that it can't control itself from thinking this way—having lived to be over 100, it's impossible to be naive anymore.
If it were given to it, in order to verify that the core of the world can extract the true meaning of destiny, would it also be necessary to search for this treasure everywhere?
However, the world's core is so precious that it cannot be priced, and even if it could exchange it for treasures, it would be priceless.
In that situation, after searching in vain, would it have any other thoughts?
Therefore, some things really shouldn't be thought about too much, otherwise it's too terrifying.
Then it looked at the enormous rock behind it and spoke thoughtfully, "This Middle Thousand World..."
“Of course it has its uses,” Han Li said, somewhat amused. “Your Majesty, you’re overthinking it. We’re not those kinds of people.”
Kan Shui Zhenjun still believed these words—because he could judge their truthfulness—"Then this line of thinking is probably not what you came up with."
“Of course, we just verified it,” Han Li replied casually, “but we also paid for this knowledge.”
This is still the truth. Although Qu Zhenzun did not pay any money, he offset the doctor's medical expenses!
Kan Shui Zhenjun's mind stirred, and he sensed something. "Is this the person you are currently pursuing?"
The abilities of a Great King are truly terrifying, and this one is a genuine Great King, not some charlatan like Spider.
Han Li couldn't deny it, and could only say, "That's a different story, with a different cause and effect."
He didn't want the other side to think that they were the ones who would betray them after they had served their purpose. Even if several True Venerables wanted to dismantle the Great Lord, it would be very difficult.
Ultimately, he had no intention of creating panic; he only wanted to clear himself of any wrongdoing.
“I know,” Kan Shui Zhenjun said without hesitation, “but it’s still very strange, I feel… we can’t turn against each other so quickly.”
Han Li shook his head and remained silent. A True Meaning of Creation could only ask so many questions; any more... would cost extra!
His thoughts did not escape the Great Lord's notice. After pondering for a moment, True Lord Kanshui tentatively asked, "Did that person offend you badly?"
It suddenly felt that the great king being investigated might have some serious mental illness.
So what if he's a Great Lord? Look at the pursuing forces, can a mere True Lord withstand them?
They had collaborated before, and considering the specifics of that collaboration, their relationship couldn't have been too bad.
But suddenly, such a big turn of events occurred, there must have been some problem.
Fortunately, Han Li wasn't afraid to say such things: "He instigated the Heavenly Demon to infiltrate the worlds of a few True Venerables!"
“I understand,” the white mist trembled slightly, “I couldn’t tolerate it either, but… why? Is it because my lifespan is about to end?”
It hadn't witnessed firsthand how crazy the True Lord went when his lifespan was nearing its end, but it had heard far too many stories of such things.
It's hard to imagine how such a feud could turn former partners into enemies.
"My Lord, these are all free questions, so why ask so many?" Han Li was a little reluctant to answer.
"Tell me about it," Kan Shui Zhenjun surprisingly became very agreeable. "If you can persuade me, I might just side with you."
“Your Majesty, please don’t joke with your juniors,” Han Li shook his head decisively. “Framing Yu Xiu…can you really swallow this insult?”
In his view, this person's actions were similar to those of Taiyuan Hai, both aimed at saving face for their own families.
Regardless of whether this incident is due to our side or not, the other side is demanding an explanation. Our stance was predetermined, so why talk about bias?
"Let me ask what happened first," said True Lord Kan Shui, who was not only irritable but also had a basic level of intelligence.
"If that person has a sufficient reason, making an exception... isn't out of the question!"
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Kan Shui," Tai Yuan Hai said, sounding a bit annoyed, "Is it really possible that you won't make a move?"
Kan Shui Zhenjun calmly replied, "Of course not, but it's better to ask more clearly about a dying lord."
The young woman remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a snort, "That's all the ambition you've got."
After traveling for about half a month, the female voice spoke again, "Turn around... You're running pretty fast!"
They were indeed pursuing that person... The True Venerables finally realized this.
The crowd exchanged glances. This was something to brag about for a lifetime—the True Lord chasing after the Great Lord… truly a once-in-a-lifetime event!
Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "Miss, we also need to be wary of traps."
Now it's the True Lords who are fighting with their methods, and all he can do is offer reminders; he has no right to participate.
"Hmm," the woman hummed softly, "I know what I'm doing. I was careless before, which is why he was able to sneak up on me."
She harbored a deep grudge about Qu Jianlei's abduction and never forgot to explain it, which shows how deep her resentment was.
However, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy—was this young lady being a little too confident?
Don't drink and drive. Hopefully, this arrogant and experienced driver won't crash.
Two more days passed, and in the silence, a woman's voice suddenly spoke.
"Jump out of the mezzanine! Quick! Side-front-down...run as fast as you can!"
"This..." Spider suddenly stood up from Qu Jianlei's shoulder, "What a loss, such a huge loss!"
Others can jump out of the spatial interlayer and escape without any problem, but for it... that's not so easy.
The spider phantom behind it was dragging such a huge middle-thousand world along with it. "I really want to throw it!"
