Chapter 2819 was brought forward.
It must be admitted that a sorcerer is a sorcerer, even a secret sorcerer, who can be quite fierce at times.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the young lady spoke up, "No, let's trust Xiao Qu completely."
“Fellow Daoist, you are not afraid to rush in, but if you cause more karma, it may harm Xiao Qu.”
As the high shaman hesitated, someone suddenly exclaimed, "The price of ritual objects... the price of ritual objects has gone up again!"
The giant axe, which had already grown larger, expanded even further.
Jin Ge excels at judging the connections between subtle changes; this is an instinct he developed over tens of thousands of years of managing the academy.
He subconsciously thought, "It's the overwhelming aura of the Middle Thousand Worlds, and it's been released in excess... Can this treasure withstand the collapse of the heavens?"
"How is that possible?" More than one person retorted.
The Great Shaman's reaction was particularly intense: "Even the Ancestral Shamans couldn't withstand it, so what makes it so capable?"
Jin Ge, however, calmly countered, "Could it be because... this is merely the collapse of the heavens in the Middle Thousand Worlds?"
The great shaman was speechless, but after a pause, he still said, "The initial point that triggered the celestial tilt came from the Great World."
Amidst everyone's worries, another six months have passed in the blink of an eye.
It has been almost a year since the Heavenly Tilt Point was triggered by Qu Zhenzun.
A stable channel has formed between the Middle Thousand Worlds and the Celestial Tilt Point, and it is continuously strengthening.
The giant axe in the void has grown to over 100,000 kilometers in size.
Compared to the massive energy vortex, it was somewhat insignificant, appearing and disappearing intermittently as it was swept away by the violent fluctuations.
However, it did not drift with the tide, but remained stubbornly upright in the vortex, without any signs of damage.
By now, everyone has gotten used to this situation, and no one is paying any more attention to Qu Zhenzun anymore.
It's not that I'm not worried at all, but paying too much attention can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.
Although it may sound a bit mystical, it is a common understanding—similar to dying without illness due to being condemned by everyone.
The only thing people are talking about now is how long the giant axe can hold out.
In any case, ritual objects are not afraid of people's attention—the more attention they receive, the better.
Suddenly, the spider's phantom retreated abruptly, instantly disappearing hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Caught off guard, everyone turned their heads to look, and then, True Monarch Qiye let out a soft exclamation, "Eh?"
An indescribable aura emanated from the vortex of energy.
It possesses a vastness, a weight, a depth, an antiquity, an awe, and a sense of awe... its mysteries are truly indescribable.
Furthermore, there is also an endless... wildness?
"Hmm?" The Möbius strip also gave a soft hum, but did not continue speaking.
At first, she thought that Qu Zhenzun had released that treasure, and in her mind, it was somewhat similar.
However, some auras were ambiguous, and some auras were ones she had not sensed before—such as wildness.
Therefore, she was certain that it wasn't the treasure that had appeared, but rather some other change that had occurred.
The next moment, a huge compass reappeared in the void, even larger and more solid than before.
The faint mottled marks on the compass have also disappeared, indicating that it has been significantly restored.
However, with the appearance of the compass, the energy in the Middle Thousand World, which was intensifying its penetration into the Celestial Tilt Point, suddenly weakened somewhat.
Although there weren't many, they were quite obvious, as if they had been frightened by the compass.
However, this shock only lasted for about half a day before the situation reversed again.
The Middle Thousand Worlds seemed to have finally come to its senses, or rather, completed a transformation, and its output energy began to increase again.
The rate of increase was much faster than the rate of decrease, clearly indicating that it was enraged.
It's quite normal for people to experience this kind of emotion.
But for a world, it's somewhat strange, and the response is noticeably slow.
However, considering the scale of the Middle Thousand Worlds, it doesn't seem too difficult to understand that large-scale celestial changes don't usually happen very quickly at first.
The reason is that after the Middle Thousand Worlds was "enraged", its energy output increased very strongly, as if it wanted to get back at them.
In contrast, the massive compass did not back down at all, stubbornly holding its ground.
While everyone was observing, some noticed that the spider, after retreating quite a distance, did not return.
Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, True Venerable Xiwu quietly asked Qingkong, "What is it afraid of?"
The Great Protector helplessly spread his hands: How would I know?
In fact, many people are very curious, and Han Li wasn't particularly afraid of spiders, so she simply asked, "What are you hiding from?"
"Hmm, I'm afraid," the Spider Lord replied, as always, his words failing him and offering no further explanation.
However, it is certain that something that could frighten a quasi-great lord did appear within the energy vortex.
Han Li was about to ask another question when she suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around abruptly.
At the same time, the Möbius strip unexpectedly spoke up, "Little Qu?"
Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in the massive energy vortex, indistinct and hard to see clearly.
Strictly speaking, the black spot is not small, reaching an altitude of over 10,000 kilometers.
The energy vortex was simply too large, and the violent disturbances obscured everyone's perception, leading to this illusion.
With just a careful observation, one can roughly determine that this faintly visible black dot is none other than Qu Zhenzun.
The figure was somewhat illusory, but it was not significantly affected by the fluctuations, and it was visibly growing larger.
In the blink of an eye, it grew to a height of 100,000 kilometers, then 500,000 kilometers, then 1 million kilometers...
A day later, the figure grew to a height of five million kilometers, slightly larger than the energy vortex.
At the same time, the onlookers were finally able to confirm that the mysterious aura came from Qu Zhenzun himself.
"So... strong?" Seven Leaf True Monarch was a little surprised. "It's only been less than a year."
In the past, he was a figure similar to the Three Pride Masters, with extremely strong perception. Although he had only recently reached the Divine Realm, he was still superior to most veteran True Monarchs.
At this moment, he was truly puzzled—he knew all too well about Xiao Qu's previous state.
He muttered sullenly, "It's indeed difficult to admit that others are excellent, but it's not impossible."
"But, this cultivation progress... you have to be reasonable, right?"
As the phantom of Qu Zhenzun grew stronger, the output speed of the Middle Thousand Worlds increased once again.
Under the violent energy impact, the Creation Compass was still struggling to resist, and the giant axe was not giving up either, remaining silent but extremely resolute.
Qu Zhenzun's illusory figure gradually became clearer. He looked at his companions in the distance, raised his hand in a gesture of respect, and released his divine sense.
"Thank you all for waiting. The danger has passed. Thank you all for protecting us."
Does this count as protecting the Dharma? Of course it does.
Regardless of what he himself had gone through, the presence of so many high-level cultivators at least ensured that no external forces would disturb him.
Han Li looked at him with a complicated expression, "You're... about to advance in rank?"
With no way to advance due to distraction, everyone has their own unique methods, and there's no clear standard for judgment.
However, judging from the aura emanating from Qu Zhenzun alone, it is highly unlikely that Zhenzun could have accomplished this.
"It's still early," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "but..."
"Your sorcery technique has reached its peak," the great sorcerer suddenly spoke, his eyes somewhat strange. "Have you digested it almost completely?"
"I don't know if I've reached the pinnacle yet," Qu Zhenzun said seriously, "but my digestion... has progressed rather quickly!"
The great shaman paused for a moment before glancing again at the distant Skyward Point. "Skyward aura... is it supplies?"
While Wu Xiu is indeed relatively fierce, it doesn't mean he's unintelligent. Although his statement wasn't entirely accurate, it came very close.
"Not resources, but a catalyst," Qu Jianlei replied thoughtfully.
"A catalyst, perhaps?" The great shaman was taken aback; this touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge. "What is that... used for catalysis?"
"Let's not talk about the machine itself, let's all be civilized," a woman's voice rang out, "no matter what, it's a good thing."
Wen Shi Zhenjun asked impatiently, "Qu Zhenzun, how long will it take before it is completely digested?"
"It will take another two years... or maybe six months," Qu Jianlei replied uncertainly. "The timeframe is a bit long, but I'm really not sure."
The Möbius strip followed up with a question, "Two years... the end of the cataclysmic upheaval?"
“I think so,” Qu Jianlei replied. “I know it has already taken up a lot of everyone’s time, so this way it will be faster.”
Although the compass and giant axe blocked a lot of the energy impact, he was the one who received the most of the impact.
It was fortunate that the stele helped to block it, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
However, during the process of resisting, he unexpectedly discovered that the impact he received could enhance his absorption of the compressed silent zone.
He analyzed some of the underlying principles, but omitted the specific explanations. Essentially, it relates to the quiet zone, the tilt of the sky, and the world.
Most importantly, it greatly shortens the digestion process.
When the celestial energy of the Middle Thousand Worlds joins in, this process is accelerated even further.
Qu Jianlei could have stayed in the cave and proceeded with the digestion process step by step.
However, after some calculation, he was basically certain that the absorption rate would be greatly enhanced under external pressure.
When it's time to take risks, sticking to the safe side may not be the best choice.
"You're so kind, Master Qu," Möbius strip was genuinely delighted, and even stopped calling him "Little Friend Qu" and started calling him Master Qu instead!
"What I lack most is time; I thought it was hopeless!"
"You flatter me, senior," Qu Jianlei hurriedly replied, "It's just that I can't afford to stay up all night, so I have no choice but to take the risk."
This is not an exaggeration; what decent person would want to be a tool?
"Always so humble," the Möbius strip said in high spirits, naturally not hesitant to offer praise. "Is there anything else we need everyone's cooperation with?"
"Seniors, please do your divination," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "I can't quite see what the future holds."
Without hesitation, Bo Ping Zhenjun asked, "The divination... will it lead to the destruction of this middle-thousand world, or will it successfully avert the collapse of the heavens?"
He really didn't care about destroying a middle-thousand world, since there were no human cultivators there anyway.
"Destruction, of course," the Möbius strip replied. "Why go through all that trouble to save the world from collapse?"
