Chapter 2843 Giving Back
After the third seal was broken, the Dao Stele was not just a little stronger, but much stronger!
Its momentum surged instantly, and it rushed directly out of the cave!
All the methods that Qu Zhenzun had previously set up were suddenly broken through by the aura, which was about to spread out of the cave.
However, Qu Jianlei already knew how terrifying this person's potential strength was and had a backup plan, so he finally stopped him!
Even so, he was still startled and broke out in a cold sweat: this Dao Stele is truly extraordinary in strength!
However, after his initial amazement, he focused on another question: why hasn't the character "运" (yun) been circulated yet?
Could it be that last time, the pressure of resisting the collapse of the heavens forced him to unleash his potential, while this time... he lacks a bit of pressure?
Qu Jianlei really couldn't be sure, and this stele wasn't very spiritual, plus it was rather arrogant, making it really difficult to communicate with.
He began to work on breaking the fourth seal, but this time the aura that erupted was unlikely to be concealed.
Therefore, he specially sent out his divine sense, "I am about to make my move, please help me cover it up, seniors and fellow Daoists."
"You've already made your move," the headman said calmly. "That's typical of him, but... I'll protect you!"
The name "Haoran" seemed to be a taboo in Yuxiu, and she never mentioned it again after coming to Yuxiu.
Instead, the word "he" was used, but everyone understood.
A human head can sense Qu Zhenzun's subtle movements... How should I put it? It's really difficult to fool the Great Khan.
Fortunately, she was also well aware of the taboos. Although she sensed it, her divine sense did not enter the cave.
What's even more remarkable is that even though she had seen through everything and her words were somewhat harsh, she still ultimately said, "I'll protect you."
"Then thank you very much, senior," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly. At this moment, he had no time to reflect on these things, nor did he have any intention of explaining.
"Everyone be careful, it's really... about to begin!"
With the breaking of the fourth seal, the aura... was truly extraordinary!
Qu Jianlei tried his best to stop him, but he couldn't stop him and rushed out of the cave!
Fortunately, everyone received the warning and used their methods. Even Kan Shui Zhenjun released a layer of white mist that resembled a water curtain.
The aura of the Dao Stele was forcibly locked in the central area of the energy cluster.
Some people had sensed this aura, while others had not; for a moment, no one spoke.
After a dozen or so breaths, True Monarch Jiuping sighed softly, "This... could this be considered the true meaning of destiny?"
He had lived for over ten thousand years, and being born into a prominent family with exceptional knowledge, I always felt something was amiss.
Since he had spoken it aloud, True Lord Twin Wings echoed, "Indeed... something's not quite right."
"No need to guess, it's a treasure from the Path of Destiny!" the head-shaped figure sneered. "The seal hasn't been completely broken!"
No one should underestimate any great ruler, whether human or non-human.
This person's divine sense had not entered Qu Zhenzun's cave, yet he still perceived the truth.
Even if there's an element of guesswork and divination involved, it's still quite remarkable.
"You're just a little bit worse than me," the young lady's voice rang out leisurely.
This was not only because she was indignant at the other party's showing off, but also to show Qu Zhenzun that her previous little tricks had not been hidden from her!
"Tch," the man snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more. However, judging from his attitude, he clearly disdained to speak.
"Senior Thunderbolt is indeed amazing," True Lord Twin Wings praised his own, "He was even able to sense that the seal had not been fully opened."
It certainly made a lot of sense, but when Seven Leaves True Lord heard this, he smiled dismissively.
"Hehe, if it really is such a treasure, then such an aura means the seal hasn't been broken!"
Treasures related to the Great Dao of Destiny cannot be simple—anything inferior is simply not worthy of bearing them!
"I..." The head couldn't take it anymore. He had clearly sensed it with his own strength. "You're really annoying!"
"I have received kindness from Senior Heng," Qi Ye snorted coldly, "I won't stoop to your level!"
Otherwise, why would he have gone through so many hardships? His personality is just too distinct.
However, the name "Senior Heng" was her Achilles' heel, and upon hearing it, she immediately fell silent.
The next moment, True Monarch Kan Shui said, "Then this is a treasure of the Great Dao of Destiny, not something that Young Friend Qu has comprehended through his understanding of destiny?"
There's so much to say about this issue.
"Can't he cultivate Devouring?" Bo Ping Zhenjun sneered, choosing to muddy the waters.
Of course, he wasn't just being unreasonable. The Great Khan's words had their own cause and effect, and Xiao Qu could indeed do that.
He personally seized the "devouring" talent from Taotie, so how could that be fake?
However, since Yuxiu is the birthplace of Taotie, he doesn't need to explain it too clearly unless necessary.
However, Kan Shui Zhenjun was not so easily fooled.
He said calmly, "Devouring a treasure of destiny? It's not that I underestimate young friend Qu, it's just that his cultivation level..."
This is not discrimination, nor even questioning; it is simply the truth!
"Young friend Qu holds the true meaning of destiny," True Lord Seven Leaves declared without hesitation, "I said it!"
This statement is far too definitive; compared to vague wording, it carries much more weight regarding cause and effect.
However, he was certain of this—Xiao Qu's idea of finding the core of the world and extracting the true meaning of destiny still came from Yu Ji!
The human head and the two-winged True Lord were of course aware of the weight of cause and effect in these words, and were momentarily stunned.
The Great Shaman snorted softly, "Xiao Qu's ability to devour is astonishing, which is also thanks to my Shamanic Cultivation Technique, which I taught her."
"Wow," the Twin-Winged True Monarch exclaimed in astonishment, "No wonder he didn't look like a human cultivator to me, he's really... a hodgepodge!"
For the alien races, a hodgepodge is nothing; Kan Shui still needs to follow the path of "water and fire in harmony".
However, for cultivators, a hodgepodge usually means that something is not pure enough and will seriously affect their path to immortality.
It is precisely for this reason that True Monarch Kongyu does not agree with this line of thinking.
However, True Lord Kan Shui persisted, "I hope you will promise not to use Yu Xiu's spiritual power to repair the Treasure of Destiny!"
These people are all shrewd and perceptive; he immediately guessed the root cause.
“I don’t know how you came up with that idea,” the old woman said calmly.
"Are you sure it's the aura of the Dao of Destiny? That proves its existence!"
"Don't try to pry into any secrets. I won't tell you the specifics... Everything should be done in moderation; going too far will only lead to humiliation!"
"Hehe," the young lady chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to prove your worth with a treasure? Have you considered the consequences of offending someone of that kind?"
Uh… Qu Jianlei felt a little embarrassed listening to this; these two were quite skilled at sophistry.
The key point is that although they were accused of serious wrongdoing, they also cleverly avoided all the causes and effects.
This is the art of language. For some reason, Qu Jianlei glanced at Han Li intentionally or unintentionally. Don't argue with Kunxiu!
The next moment, he was a little confused: Why am I looking at her?
Offending a treasure of destiny? Upon hearing this, True Monarch Kan Shui became truly anxious, "What nonsense! Tai Yuan, don't make false accusations!"
It has always felt that its path to growth has been somewhat bumpy and difficult—in fact, most cultivators would think so.
In any case, it has no intention of defying fate, let alone the treasures that carry the great path of fate.
"Slanderous accusations?" The young woman was furious upon hearing this. "I don't even have a Daoist partner, let alone get married!"
The experienced driver may seem to be making a suggestive joke, but he has actually successfully changed the subject.
"Then don't curse me!" Kan Shui retorted defiantly. "I just want to confirm whether Yu Xiu will suffer a huge loss!"
"I was the first to grant your request, and I don't want to bear the consequences!"
"You've already decided it's the Great Dao of Destiny," the old woman said coldly. "Can this harm Yuxiu's fortune?"
“That’s hard to say,” the head-shaped figure spoke up again. “What if the treasure is very powerful?”
“Then we can save the world from collapse,” Bo Ping Zhenjun said irritably. “If you hadn’t gone to Lianxing, we wouldn’t have even thought of coming!”
“I find it a bit strange,” True Monarch Qingxia spoke up, unusually, “Why do you all think we have the audacity to harm Yuxiu’s fortune?”
He only said one sentence, but it hit the nail on the head: Who dares to bear the consequences of harming a super-sized world?
Even the Venerable Master probably wouldn't dare to covet it.
Of course, there is a big difference between causing harm and taking advantage of someone, and Qingxia Zhenjun is not lacking in the art of language.
“Alright, we don’t want to get involved in karma either,” Kan Shui said, “Let’s continue.”
Continue? Qu Jianlei's mind stirred, and amidst the chaotic energy, countless spiritual energies, mixed with other energies, surged towards him.
With the four seals activated, the Dao Stele began absorbing energy from Yu Xiu.
It wasn't all a stroke of genius; there were some factors he couldn't judge, and some elements he might not even be able to perceive at all!
"Wow, that's amazing," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but grin secretly. This absorption power is really explosive!
He was merely a True Venerable, yet he seemed somewhat unable to withstand the attack!
As mentioned earlier, this chaotic energy was not friendly to the True Venerable to begin with, and now it has made things even worse!
However, the next moment, a mysterious aura was transmitted from the Dao Stele to him.
The Dao Stele had always harbored a desire to break through the seal; although not violent, it was certainly persistent.
But now, that emotion has dissipated a lot, so it seems, it appears... has transformed into this kind of aura?
Qu Jianlei sensed it, and with a thought, transmitted this aura to the illusory figure outside the cave.
The phantom trembled slightly, and a faint aura emanated from its body, but it did not continue to spread outwards, instead forming a defensive gas membrane.
In an instant, he felt the pressure lessen significantly.
"This is..." Bo Ping Zhenjun's eyes widened instantly, "A boundary membrane?"
“It’s all thanks to good fortune,” True Monarch Jiuping sighed softly. “The auspicious purple aura of the canopy is nothing more than this!”
“This isn’t purple; it’s colorless,” Wuchen Zhenjun said with a complex expression. “There might be other explanations.”
"It's fate!" The young lady sighed softly. When it comes to insight, she's truly one of the best. "Xiao Qu, control yourself."
"Whatever you do, don't let the imperial edict be heard, or none of us will be able to leave!"
