Chapter 2736 There is no worst
Tree Swindler probably never dreamed that one day he would be worth the essence of five kinds of wood.
This is a perfect match. Although the peach tree is a true deity, it has never left the Zhongling Realm and is very willing to study this rare thing.
"This... I'm afraid it won't work," Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and shook his head.
The Wind Forgotten Sword is basically useless to him now; at most, it can be used as a wooden shield, but even that is only so-so.
But he could not forget how much harm, even deep despair, the Tree Clan had caused to humanity.
Tree Traitor, however, betrayed his own tribe and has been very active ever since.
However, since he is a traitor, why should he receive a good ending? This goes against Qu Zhenzun's values and beliefs.
Such a beautiful Spirit Realm, even he doesn't have the right to settle there, so why would the Tree Clan benefit from it? That's impossible!
Of course, Tao Zhenzun may not necessarily be friendly to the wood attribute of other worlds.
Maybe it wants to use the Wind Forgotten to conduct some kind of experiment, dismantling it into eight pieces and then assembling it into something like a Gundam, who knows?
But that would seem a bit cruel to the traitors who are desperately trying to prove themselves after surrendering.
So of course he had to refuse.
However, since Tao Zhenzun was also a member of a different race, he was quite particular about his words and actions. If he spoke too plainly, it would spoil the atmosphere.
Qu Jianlei had a sudden thought and released the Wind Forgotten.
The tree's enormous body surprised even Peach True Venerable. "Ugh, it's so big and ugly... This bald thing is an eyesore!"
Even the surrounding creatures became restless, and the divine senses of two True Venerables swept over them.
Fortunately, these people soon discovered that the place where the anomaly was was the residence of Tao Zhenzun.
Although Feng Yiwang was tall, he belonged to the Tree Clan and was only at the Nascent Soul stage, so no one was worried.
"Greetings, greetings, greetings... I have met Your Excellency," even though Shu Jian was a little confused, he was still polite.
Fortunately, in recent years it has become accustomed to seeing true beings, so at least it is not completely speechless.
Qu Jianlei naturally replied, "Fellow Daoist Tao, please make yourself at home. Take whatever you need."
Tao Zhenzun hesitated for a moment, "This thing has a bit of malevolent energy, and it's also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Why don't you discard it, fellow Daoist? Is it because you think its source is too small?"
“I have other plans,” Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, “I intend to use them to guard the mountain gate.”
This was the final fate he had arranged for Shujian—the outcome certainly couldn't be too good, but it also couldn't be too bad.
He's not very useful to have around, but he's good at guarding the gates of the Cangwu Realm.
However, neither of them has left their bodies yet, leaving Feng Yiwang in Cangwu, which is an unstable factor.
“That was my presumption,” Momomoto-sama said, his manners were truly impeccable.
"How about letting it leave some offspring for me to study?"
“No problem,” Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation.
Betrayal is unacceptable, even if one surrenders to oneself, but one's descendants... there's no need to be so strict with them.
"Leave offspring?" Feng Wangyi was a little confused. "Boss, this place is excellent, why not build the mountain gate here?"
"I can't afford it," Qu Jianlei sneered. "You'd better hurry up!"
"Oh," the tree demon's body trembled twice, and countless dust particles fell down.
"Enough, enough!" Peach True Venerable hurriedly called out, "There's no need for all this!"
This transaction was an unexpected interlude, and everyone got what they wanted.
After bidding farewell to Momo, Hyakuhashi Shinzun surprisingly said, "I won't go to Daiju with you. Contact me on the way back."
Jin Ge was somewhat taken aback by his words. "You really have something to say?"
"Otherwise what?" The burly man chuckled sheepishly. "You don't actually think I'm here to broaden my horizons, do you?"
"Don't say anymore," Jin Ge hurriedly waved his hand, "Then you go ahead and do your work."
However, it was too late. Baiqiao spoke up seriously, "It's Lingyun's karma. I'm missing a partner. Master Shu, shall we go together?"
“I asked that question unnecessarily,” Jin Ge shook his head, both amused and exasperated.
However, the next moment, he still looked at Qu Jianlei—no matter what, he was the true master of Lingyun!
"Go ahead," Qu Jianlei waved his hand. He was genuinely puzzled at first. Why would Baiqiao Zhentai be so idle after coming here?
As it turns out, they really did have something going on, but nobody believed them.
Anyway, this guy is a mix of truth and falsehood, no wonder he's so cunning.
"I've taken your share... Baiqiao, don't look at me like that, if you dare say anything, I'll really get angry!"
“Tsk,” Baiqiao clicked his tongue, shook his head with regret, and then sighed softly, “Sigh.”
"Hurry, hurry!" Venerable Yue Ran exclaimed, "Don't let this guy trick us!"
The next moment, the Nine True Venerables soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
Everyone has already found out the location of the secret treasure of Lord Yuji, which is the area called "Daizhu".
Daizhu is twice the size of Diecui and has seven fifth-order spiritual veins, only one more than Diecui.
However, Daizhu has a sixth-order spiritual vein, which is located on the same plate as the residence of a certain Great Lord.
As for why the Great Lord didn't hide the spiritual veins as well, True Lord Peach didn't say—whether it knew or not, it was inconvenient to say.
However, no one seemed to mind, as all indications suggested that the Bell Spirit Realm was indeed very peaceful.
After half a day, the group arrived at the Daizhu Plateau and took a brief look around before landing.
There are twelve True Venerables on the plate, but as for the Great Lord... no one seems to be paying attention to him.
We should still pay attention to proper etiquette.
Then everyone descended smoothly, and not many people paid any attention.
After landing, Kan Shui Zhenjun didn't even need to look into it; he could simply calculate and pinpoint the location.
It is a long, narrow peninsula that extends into the sea, and its structure is somewhat similar to that of the Forgotten Peninsula.
Unfortunately, near the tip of the peninsula, there is a fifth-order spiritual vein.
To make matters worse, the fifth-order spiritual vein not only has an owner, but the owner is also at home, a True Venerable named Qi Si.
To make matters worse, the fighting on the Korean Peninsula is currently intense!
That's right, Zhong Ling is just good in terms of her own conditions, but the security situation is not necessarily good. Where there are interests, war can break out anywhere.
The one fighting against the True Venerable of Prayer was the True Venerable of Purple Purity from the sea.
The Purple Pure True Venerable claims that he is of mermaid blood and that this spiritual vein was left by his ancestors.
However, Venerable Qisi stated that the spiritual veins on land belong to the human race, and he has been effectively governing them for over a thousand years!
In order to fight against the True Venerable Zijing, Qisi specially invited a True Venerable friend to sit in and help him.
At this point, shouldn't we be watching the Grand Prince's attitude? Unfortunately, the Grand Prince hasn't shown up or taken any stance!
In the Bell Spirit Realm, the majority of True Venerables are human, but they do not hold an overwhelming advantage.
Fortunately, the conflict between non-humans and humans is not as severe as in other cultivation worlds, and they are relatively more tolerant of each other.
Just like the previous communication between Qu Jianlei and Tao Zhenzun, it felt no different from communicating with human cultivators.
However, differences certainly exist; otherwise, non-human cultivators wouldn't have created a "Jade Beauty Realm"!
In most areas, non-human races tend to be somewhat passive in battles against humans.
Of course, there are also completely opposite sectors, which need no further explanation.
The Daizhu section is considered relatively neutral—at least that's how most people see it.
The competition for fifth-order spiritual veins is no small matter, which goes without saying.
In the Realm of Virtue, Qu Zhenzun even confronted the Hundred Friends Alliance, which claimed to have a hundred Zhenzun, for the sake of a spiritual vein.
Zhong Ling is much stronger than Hou De, but that doesn't mean that fifth-order spiritual veins are unimportant.
There was no direct confrontation between the True Lords on the peninsula; instead, each side commanded its subordinates to attack each other.
A battle between Nascent Soul level cultivators wouldn't cause much of a stir, so it's no wonder the Great Lord didn't intervene.
The Daizhu Plate is twice the size of Diecui, and the number of humans living there is roughly twice as large—definitely less than one and a half times.
This area remains sparsely populated.
Therefore, it was a localized battle with limited impact, and the number of human cultivators participating was not very large.
However, the sea creatures under the command of the Purple Pure True Venerable are numerous and have an absolute advantage in numbers.
In short, the battle lines were stretched thin, but there was no atmosphere of a full-scale war.
It's nothing more than fighting here today and there tomorrow. Clearly, both sides are prepared for a protracted war.
This may be due to the Great Khan's intimidating power; it's a contest between the two sides to see who can't hold out first.
The fighting wasn't very intense, but the problem was that the defenses were very tight—everyone was on guard against a sneak attack.
After learning about the situation, Qu Jianlei and his group had to discuss it further.
The best option would be to sneak into the peninsula, retrieve the treasure of Prince Yugi, and then quietly leave.
However, the peninsula is now heavily guarded, and even a True Venerable would have to be careful if he wanted to sneak in.
The main concern is, what would happen to the dignity of the True Lord if he were discovered?
If True Monarch Kan Shui were to infiltrate... it's best to forget about it; that guy isn't very trustworthy!
Moreover, it itself rejects this option, saying, "I represent Yu Xiu's reputation, even if it is later calculated... it's still not acceptable!"
Just think about it entering the Bell Spirit Realm; it's not even allowed to bring any attendants. Even if it's unlikely to be caught red-handed, it's still not a safe bet.
If a Grand Prince is willing to investigate, and the matter is uncovered, it will at least be... a serious diplomatic incident.
Immediately afterward, Han Wei Zhenzun added quietly, "Won't the commotion caused by breaking open the Great Lord's Secret Treasury be quite significant?"
Therefore, everyone had to give up on this option.
If Qu Jianlei had been younger... or rather, weaker, he would have actually taken that risk.
He had done similar things more than once.
But things are different now. His status and position are different. He even forced his way into the famous Bell Spirit Realm.
Therefore, one should always do things that are in line with one's status.
He pondered for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "Then why don't we go and pay a visit to the Great Khan and explain our situation?"
"I support it!" True Venerable Yue Ran was the first to react, and a glint of light even flashed in his eyes.
Han Li and Xiao You didn't say anything, they just laughed. Han Wei and Song Yue'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Only Luo Fu didn't react; she just watched indifferently, like a nobody.
When faced with similar decisions, she usually doesn't react much. If pressed, she'll just say, "I'll listen to Qu Zhenzun."
