Chapter 2778 Persuading it to volunteer
Taotie... Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard this name.
Song Yue'er was the first to react, "That's right, it's best at devouring...didn't it take its essence?"
Taotie brought this upon itself; if Yuxiu Realm hadn't intervened to protect it, it might have been killed last time.
“I can handle this,” said Prince Nagahira quite frankly, revealing his extraordinary hatred for Taotie.
His tone was even calm, "The talent for devouring isn't easy to take away. Give me some time, and I'll make it spit it out on its own!"
After such a menacing statement, even the most reckless daredevil was at a loss for words.
For a great king to strip another great king of his talents... what kind of deep-seated hatred must that be?
And the key point is, you also need to have the means to do it, right?
Bo Ping Zhenjun is not very famous among cultivators—not that he is not well-known, but that very few people actually know him.
But those who know him are well aware that he is not only strong in combat, but also has a lot of viciousness.
But that's to be expected. Given his current situation, it would be good if any True Lord didn't develop a twisted personality.
Once these words were spoken, at least none of the True Venerables of Lianxing dared to express their opinions.
"Senior, please calm down," Qu Jianlei had to step in, and he said solemnly, "It may amplify the karmic consequences of the Heavenly Collapse."
"The heavens are falling..." This reason did persuade Lord Namihira.
But then, his eyes lit up. "Then I'll just persuade it to hand it over voluntarily, and that'll be the end of it, won't it?"
To persuade Taotie to "voluntarily" hand over his talent? Qu Zhenzun found it somewhat absurd.
He could only say, "We have important things to do, and it's not worth getting bogged down in this."
“Alright… then,” Bo Pingzhenjun reluctantly agreed.
He was also well aware that the task of saving Tianqing had only made slight progress so far.
This still requires a premise: to ensure that this line of thinking will not go wrong—he has experienced too many failed attempts.
In short, there are still many uncertainties and too many things to do, so there's really no time to get upset.
Moreover, although Qu Zhenzun's cultivation level was low, he brought a large group of True Monarchs and True Venerables with him, so we had to give him face.
After sealing the realm, True Monarch Wuchen naturally followed them through thick and thin.
Besides being curious, he also needed to ensure he could find this place again in the future, which was a sufficient reason.
Moreover, it has eighteen life-giving energies in less than ten years. Isn't that appealing?
When the group arrived in Lianxing, they indeed received good news: the cultivators of Lianxing had already obtained clues about two quiet zones.
One clue is difficult to verify and will likely take some time.
The other lead is relatively clear and should be confirmed within three to five years.
Crystal Ancestor volunteered to help gather information and, incidentally, send the clan back to its Middle Thousand World—after all, life is not something to be taken for free.
Qu Jianlei decided to take a break, and thankfully he wouldn't have to sleep for three years this time.
“There’s a new quiet zone…” Lord Bo Ping secretly sent a message to the Möbius strip.
He knew very well that Wan Tianqing's intentions were also very strong. "Fellow Daoist, send an avatar to accompany me to the Tianfeng Realm?"
Upon hearing "Tianfeng Realm," Möbius strip knew what it was all about, and he wasn't opposed to such an operation.
Since it's about saving the world, the stronger our own forces are, the better. "That's easy to say, but what about cause and effect?"
"That's no big deal," Bo Ping Zhenjun replied dismissively. "Anyway, we're just idling around, aren't we?"
However, the Möbius strip is indeed governed by rules; "Could you explain the specific operating methods?"
Bo Pingzhenjun's lips twitched slightly. "Let's try it first and see if it's susceptible to this kind of influence."
He certainly wouldn't say "defile," but that's the gist of it.
“Okay,” the Möbius strip noticed the word “first,” “it had better be sensible.”
Both of them went in separate places, but Qu Zhenzun didn't notice this—the real priority was to take the time to rest.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the staff of the True Lord has yet to return.
However, no one was surprised. Although the Great Khan acted swiftly, finding out information and locating a place were two different things.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to wait any longer and said he wanted to plan out the next steps.
Now he is truly surrounded by admirers, and wherever he goes, a large group of people follow him.
Wen Shi, as the Lingyun Sect's trump card, actually took the initiative to send a message from the Houde Realm, saying that Duo Gan and Jing Yuexin were currently safe and sound.
A hundred years ago, who would have believed this? Even Qu Jianlei himself couldn't have dreamed of it.
Everyone knew that some plans couldn't be made near Lianxing, not because they disliked the aura of Tianqing, but because the influence was too great.
Qu Jianlei did not choose to return to Houde, but Xiaoyou suggested that they go to the vicinity of the Myriad Realms.
Anyway, the team is not short of high-ranking officials, and the team is quite united, so there is no risk in going to Wanwu.
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "We can't go. What if we incur the wrath of the higher dimensions... then how will we explain it to all things?"
Xiao You was stunned upon hearing this. "There's such a risk?"
“It’s possible,” Han Li nodded. “We’ve experienced it firsthand… How much do you know about higher dimensions?”
"You...you've all come this far?" Xiaoyou was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but ask, "Tell me more about it?"
Han Li rolled her eyes at her. "Do you know how much risk and suffering we went through to gain this knowledge?"
"I'll pay!" Xiaoyou said without hesitation. "Just name your price!"
Han Li took out a ball of pale green light, tossed it in his hand, then put it away, glancing at her sideways without saying a word.
The meaning is quite clear: you want to talk to me about paying... with your paltry sum of money?
He also amassed a small fortune—of course, compared to the one who "didn't have much," he truly didn't have much.
However, vitality is not a panacea. In certain situations where there is a genuine need, he also needs to engage in appropriate transactions, which is why he took the opportunity to showcase himself.
Upon seeing this, Xiao You immediately shut up—she herself, who was helping out outside, had already received eighteen life-giving opportunities, while this guy was inside…
She glanced at Lian Xingkun Xiu intentionally or unintentionally: I wonder if your previous schemes still hold true?
If we're really going to make it work, we'll have to figure out a weak alliance.
Unfortunately, the tall and beautiful True Venerable also looked at her, his eyes filled with undisguised envy: Join forces?
Just then, the Möbius strip let out a soft "hmm," and said, "Your life force... huh?"
"Hmm," Han Li nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more—this was something she couldn't show off.
Otherwise, it's inevitable that some people will become greedy and try to take their place.
"Hmm," Xiaoyou hummed softly, belatedly realizing what was happening.
She hadn't observed carefully before, but after the Great Khan's reminder, she realized: that vitality seemed... a little off?
At this moment, the look in her eyes as she looked at Han Li was incredibly complex!
“Interesting,” the young woman chuckled. “I feel like the team’s cohesion has improved.”
Since Han Li dared to show off, he had already thought of how to change the subject. He looked at Qu Zhenzun and asked, "Go to the vicinity of the Boundless Realm?"
Bo Ping Zhenjun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "Why there?"
He didn't have a good impression of Wuya, but he didn't have a bad impression of him either—why bring something that was potentially dangerous to the vicinity of the boundary?
She Niu Zhen Zun answered proactively, "Reporting to Your Majesty, that place... seems to be the headquarters of the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance."
Many of Lianxing's True Venerables have been excluded from the Houde Realm, but it's impossible for them not to inquire about True Venerable Qu.
They naturally heard about Qu Jianlei and Han Li's confrontation with the Baiyou Business Alliance.
This was actually quite a sensation, after all, they went door-to-door asking the true masters to take sides.
However, it was far less sensational than Qu Zhenzun's sermons that followed.
However, in reality, some True Venerables were unable to enter the Taiyuan Sea to discuss the Dao because they harbored resentment!
Bo Ping Zhenjun genuinely didn't know about this matter, and upon hearing it, he said, "Then let's go here."
In the cultivation world, it's not uncommon for the strong to bully the weak, but getting into trouble with True Venerable Qu is just a minor inconvenience.
Xiao You nodded upon hearing this, "I've also heard about this matter... I support a clear distinction between right and wrong!"
Then she glanced at Han Li: I support you!
However, the handsome young man seemed not to have seen this at all, and just smiled, "Actually, I just happened to be passing by, outside the realm."
“Of course, it was just a chance encounter,” the Möbius strip answered without hesitation, “and I thought I’d pick up some local specialties from Wuyan!”
Wuya is a genuine, vast world, and it's even self-proclaimed as a top-tier world!
The Venerable Yue Ran once argued with the cultivator Hou De, arguing that Hou De was only a third-class world, not a second-class one.
The hierarchy in the world is actually a bit boring, and there's basically no authoritative definition.
After all, the world is constantly evolving; it's a dynamic process. Even at its peak, Lianxing might have only reached Grade B, but what about now?
Zhong Ling and Yu Xiu are considered to be of the highest rank, a fact generally acknowledged in the cultivation world; the others are more like self-proclaimed opinions.
But no matter what, even if Wuya only considers himself to be of Grade A, his strength is definitely not bad.
However, the Möbius strip was created by Chung Ling, and Bo Ping was almost in a state of despair, so who would care about the endless?
Half a month later, the group arrived at the Boundless Realm.
On the Jianjia Plate, the Zhang family patriarch was arranging the family's downsizing—the old rival, the Gu family, was becoming increasingly ruthless in its encroachment.
The two families have been enemies for tens of thousands of years. When the two Zhang families were at the True Venerable level, they were always one step ahead of the other.
Currently, the Zhang family only has one True Venerable, although the Gu family also only has one. However, the younger generation is promising, and the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Zhang family is twice that of the Zhang family.
Especially after Gu Jia Zhenzun joined the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance, his arrogance became even more rampant.
But it doesn't matter, he's not angry. Isn't that how it is with the ups and downs of a family?
As long as we remain vigilant, safeguard the most basic industries, and then wait for outstanding talents to emerge from the next generation, that will suffice.
Having many Nascent Soul cultivators doesn't mean someone can leave their body; one truly useful seedling is enough.
Of course, if there's no one to carry on the family line, that would be quite tragic, but that's the fate of the family.
Every True Venerable has witnessed the rise and fall of countless families; all they can do is their best and leave the rest to fate.
However, we must not lack the necessary vigilance, otherwise it would be a human error!
Just then, a Nascent Soul cultivator came to report, "Ancestor, four Great Venerables have arrived at the ancestral shop!"
