Chapter 2694 Versailles
The spider said it wanted to throw it away, but how could that be possible? That's the Middle Thousand Worlds.
Let alone the True Venerable, even for the True Lord, this is an extremely precious treasure.
To put it simply, just as True Monarch Kan Shui thought, even if he destroyed this world, he could still obtain the core of the world, right?
However, none of the Six True Venerables ever considered doing it this way, because it would be such a waste of resources!
The spider made no promise to protect the Middle Thousand Worlds; it merely accompanied the humans on their travels and, at most, participated in some fighting.
It didn't even need to take on the task of dragging the big rock; it was just helping out.
However, it still can't be thrown away because... it can actually provide a temporary speed boost, but it consumes a lot of mana.
"I'll eat more next time," it secretly thought to itself.
The next moment, it was astonished to find that the other True Venerables had instantly leaped out of the sub-layer of space, incredibly fast.
"Couldn't you have provided some cover?" This thought suddenly popped into the spider's bewildered mind.
However, in reality, Qu Jianlei's team never plays that game; when faced with an emergency, their first priority is to extricate themselves.
Mutual cover and coordinated attacks... that requires at least some understanding of the situation before making that choice.
The understanding of other true beings is the same: in a hurry, rather than cooperating blindly, it is better to seek to save one's life first.
If a teammate is killed because of this, then it's better to take revenge afterward than to lose your own life and have no one to avenge you.
Qu Jianlei carried the Spider Lord on his shoulder, so he was the last to jump out of the sub-layer of space and arrive in the void.
Before he could even get a clear look at his surroundings, he heard the spider's divine sense again, "Wait, wait!"
Such a vast middle-thousand world, still stuck in the sub-layer of space. People have come out, but they can't just abandon their things, can they?
"Borrow, borrow strength," the spider transmitted its thoughts.
The next moment, Qu Jianlei felt his strength rapidly draining from his shoulders, leaving him feeling weak and unable to move.
"Damn it," he wanted to curse, "You're going too far!"
In his haste, he could only release an Asura secondary nest to block his path.
He wasn't sure where the enemy was or what kind of ambush they were lying in, but he was pretty sure the danger was coming from ahead.
The secondary nest's defenses are certainly far from sufficient, but for now, it's the most convenient shield available.
The incident happened suddenly; his legion-class warship inside the cave hadn't even been started, let alone charged.
As for the mother nest... well, there weren't many to begin with, and they were all left in Houde!
However, he only hoped that the secondary nest could hold out for a few breaths so that he could recover.
At this moment, Qu Jianlei could somewhat understand how terrified a cultivator who suddenly encountered a time-manipulation technique would be.
His body was completely out of control, he couldn't use his magic freely, and his combat power instantly dropped to zero...
High-level cultivators are already accustomed to their own immense power and the corresponding protection; who can adapt to it immediately?
Oh, right, I only lost physical strength, but those cultivators lost their life force!
Dragging the Middle Thousand Worlds out of the spatial interlayer is no easy task.
The miniature world, which takes the form of a giant rock, can cause some instability even in the interlayers, let alone getting in and out.
That is why, even with the strength of the Spider Quasi-King, it still needed to borrow Qu Jianlei's help to quickly drag it out.
The void rippled and twisted violently as a massive boulder was slowly being pulled out.
—Actually, it's not slow. With a diameter of over 100,000 kilometers, it can be completed in two or three breaths. Is that slow?
In fact, because the dragging was too fast, the violent fluctuations in the void were spreading outwards!
If at this moment, any Nascent Soul cultivator or even someone who has left their body were to pass by nearby, it would be equivalent to encountering a void calamity.
Although Qu Jianlei's whole body was weak and his strength was constantly draining away, his mind was still relatively clear.
"Damn it," he muttered to himself, "I have to get out of this Middle Thousand Worlds and run..."
The fluctuations in the void don't travel very fast at first, but they will accelerate over time.
We'll still have to fight tooth and nail for the next escape!
Just as the massive boulder was being pulled out, a figure flashed beside him, signaling the impending disturbance.
Han Li has arrived!
Because of the time difference in the entry and exit of people from the void, he was originally tens of millions of kilometers away from Qu Zhenzun.
Even so, he still arrived in time, and before that, he had already released the palace.
In just a few breaths, he not only observed the situation but also rushed over to save people, which shows that his reaction was quite fast.
The key point is that he also noticed that the rapid emergence of the Middle Thousand Worlds from the sub-layers brought about violent fluctuations and oscillations.
In this situation, the fact that they still risked coming over shows that their teamwork was actually quite good.
Qu Jianlei controlled the secondary nest and headed towards the Middle Thousand World.
The tiny secondary nest couldn't withstand the force pulling the world along; immediately afterward, a massive boulder smashed the nest to pieces.
It's not like throwing an egg against a rock anymore, but rather like an ant trying to shake Mount Tai.
However, Qu Jianlei's plan was not to block it, but to use the destruction of the secondary nest to delay the arrival of the oscillation.
It means using firebreaks to fight fires. Although the effect will be much worse, it's better than nothing, isn't it?
"Run!" Han Li shouted as she maneuvered the palace around the boulder, glancing at Qu Jianlei and cursing, "You miser!"
"You talk too much," Qu Jianlei's divine sense transmitted, "Give me a hand, I'm exhausted!"
"I know!" Han Li raised her hand, grabbed his other shoulder, and fled into the distance.
"Okay, that's it!" the spider announced, indicating that the matter was settled. A surge of immense spiritual energy flowed toward Qu Jianlei's shoulder. "What's borrowed must be returned."
"No thanks!" Qu Jianlei immediately sealed his shoulders. "The incense is poisonous, I don't want it!"
The other party probably meant well, but he absolutely didn't want to be associated with the path of becoming a deity through offerings of incense. "It's yours!"
The spider remained silent. The next moment, the big-headed butterfly began to spin. "It says you dislike it... It's quite aggrieved!"
"Isn't it understandable to be disgusted?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback, then said, "Well... since it protected the valuables, I'll give it to it!"
Han Li dragged him along, choosing the angle that Taiyuan Hai had pointed out. Millions of kilometers ahead, several True Venerables were also fleeing.
The vast Middle Thousand Worlds was an unexpected factor; without it, it would have been very easy for the True Venerable to traverse the transmission of oscillations.
Now that the stone has picked up speed, it's only a matter of time before it shakes off the ripples behind it.
After the six reunited, Shinzo Yugiri couldn't wait to ask, "What exactly happened?"
The young woman didn't say anything, and everyone continued running wildly. Then a cloud of white mist appeared. "I told you, this world needs to be compressed."
Kan Shui Zhenjun's tone was quite dismissive.
With its cultivation level, traveling with a True Venerable would be a waste of time; now it's being dragged down to a snail's pace by the Middle Thousand Worlds.
However, no one paid any attention to it. Everyone had the same thought: If you're not going to do anything, what are you babbling about?
Xiaoyou asked, "How come you're... alright?"
Everyone could see that Qu Zhenzun was exhausted, and the cause and effect of what had just happened was obvious.
No one was too worried about Qu Jianlei's condition. For Zhen Zun, minor injuries were nothing, let alone just exhaustion.
The truth is, everyone finds it a bit funny—the dignified True Venerable actually exhausted himself, which shows how hard it is to part with wealth.
"I'm fine, just a little out of sorts," Qu Jianlei replied, then greeted, "Miss?"
"That fellow has set a trap," the woman's voice finally rang out, "the kind that could take down the Great Khan. Want to see it for yourself?"
"No," Qu Jianlei and Han Li answered in unison, a rather rare reaction for such a daredevil.
"I'd like to ask..." Qingkong hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Is there any danger?"
“It’s not dangerous for the Great Khan,” the woman’s voice replied casually, “especially since it has already been discovered.”
“Well… let’s forget about it,” Qingkong Zhenzun sighed softly. “I’d really like to see a scene like this.”
"I'd like to see for myself," the white mist transmitted its divine sense. "I didn't sense any danger, but you did?"
"Your man almost lost his pants while running away, I really want to see for myself."
"Compare your perception of danger to mine?" The female voice scoffed disdainfully. "Especially dangers from space, you're far inferior!"
This is no exaggeration; the reputation of the Three Thousand Minor Realms of Taiyuan Sea is well-deserved.
“I admit I’m not as good as you,” Kan Shui Zhenjun said dismissively. “Please give me some pointers, and I’ll be completely convinced.”
"Do you even care if I'm convinced?" the young woman said casually. "It's good that everyone is alright, given how dangerous the trap was."
"Could it be a perceptual error?" Bai Wu said, whether deliberately trying to provoke or just trying to stir things up, "They were running in a very sorry state."
The young woman declared she wasn't buying it, saying, "I have no obligation to prove anything to you... Bring me the true meaning of fate, and I'll tell you!"
"Alright, enough arguing," True Monarch Kanshui said calmly, "If I can find out who made this, with my abilities..."
“The highest virtue is like water, no… it’s all-pervasive,” the female voice suddenly realized, “Fellow Daoist Kan Shui, I never expected you to be so romantic!”
"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan, can we... talk about something else?" The white mist trembled twice. "After all these years, why is it still like this?"
Judging from its reaction alone, you can tell that it must have been tormented by a young lady many years ago.
The woman's voice suddenly turned cold and sharp, "Are you sure you can lock onto that guy?"
"How can I promise that?" Kan Shui Zhenjun answered without hesitation, "I can only be 99% sure."
This is Versailles... Even Qu Zhenzun, who is not used to jealousy, found it hard to listen to.
"Xiaohu, I'm not usually this annoying when I talk, am I?"
The young woman hesitated slightly. Just then, the spider suddenly sent out a divine message, "No, no hole, no hole true lord?"
What? The True Venerables present were stunned upon hearing this. Who are you calling?
With a "pfft," True Venerable Xiwu burst out laughing... Sure enough, some female cultivators appear cold and aloof on the surface, but are actually as soft as eggs!
