Chapter 2867 Qi Refiner (Second Update)
No one could have imagined that one day, the chaotic energy clusters would come in handy when the world was in peril.
The team's prior preparations were not inadequate, but it's impossible to be completely foolproof.
In the following time, four more energy clusters were sent in, but no more.
In the cultivation world, the total number of chaotic energy clusters is enormous, but not all energy clusters are suitable for use.
First, we must rule out choosing within the various great worlds—this involves the cause and effect of the collapse of the heavens, and we can't drag others into it.
Anyone who really wants to harm others... well, they'll be waiting for endless pursuit.
Therefore, this energy cluster can only be selected from the void, and the key is... it must be large enough.
Therefore, the number of energy clusters that can be discovered in time and used effectively is really not large.
With these temporary supports, the Möbius strip finally managed to hold on.
On the forty-second day, the old woman gave another warning, "Only seven days left... but I can't hold on any longer."
“Then… let’s detonate them gradually,” Bo Ping Zhenjun sighed. “Does any fellow Daoist have a different opinion?”
During these forty-odd days, everyone was busy, and in addition to compressing and searching for energy clusters, they also made a large number of simulations on the spot.
The appearance of the Space Destroyer took everyone by surprise—many True Venerables had never even heard of such a phenomenon.
However, now that it has already occurred and we have gained some time, everyone should seize the opportunity to analyze it.
“We still need to trouble you, senior,” Wen Shi said, looking at the old woman, “to adjust the position in time.”
The large Möbius strip was originally composed of twenty-two worlds, and later more than ten orbs of light were added to it.
This is a dynamic adjustment process, especially since we are currently in a real combat situation, which is something that ordinary True Monarchs really can't handle.
Gradual detonation means abandoning small clusters of light in a planned, step-by-step manner, rather than collapsing completely in the blink of an eye.
This tests not only specific micro-management skills, but also the understanding and perception of the structure.
That's too high a standard. A young lady would definitely be a bit lacking; she'd have to be an old woman.
"These seven days... have been tough," the old woman sighed softly.
The next moment, a small ball of light exploded, sending out a massive shockwave and creating chaos in the surrounding area.
She doesn't need to deliberately detonate it; she just needs to kick this chaotic energy cluster out of the large Möbius strip and abandon the restriction.
At the same time, many light clusters rapidly shifted and completed structural reorganization.
"What a pity..." Qu Jianlei shook his head inwardly. At this moment, he thought of the vanished Wenxian Zhenzun.
Even in a major event like saving the world from collapse, the art of formations... is still useful. Isn't this just a flexible grand formation?
However, upon closer examination, it is merely an application of the Dao, a minor technique.
It can be used in actual combat, but after leaving the body, there is no way to advance through the array, so the two are not contradictory.
However, if Wenxian were present, it would likely have been quite enlightening for him, and his expertise in array formations could also be of some benefit to the team.
Unfortunately, on the path of cultivation, there are only consequences and results, not "what ifs"!
In less than a day, the second small cluster of light was also kicked out of the sequence of the large ring, and then erupted again...
When the fifth orb of light erupted, it severely damaged a large mass of demonic energy that happened to be passing by.
The seventh burst of light affected a medium-sized tectonic plate, causing an even greater natural disaster for human cultivators.
By the forty-eighth day, only twenty-three orbs of light remained in the entire large Möbius strip.
Meanwhile, within the Star Realm, chaos had already broken out.
The continuous bursts of energy have caused immense chaos in the realm, compounded by the various calamities that had previously occurred...
The key issue is that this panic is spreading rapidly, and the True Lords scattered in all directions are trying their best to suppress it.
These twenty-three small orbs of light currently contain the initial twenty-two worlds, as well as... a silent zone.
"There might be a second forty-nine days!" True Monarch Kan Shui saw the future. "On this last day, we must devise a plan!"
At the same time, the Nine Screens True Lord had already figured out the reason behind it.
He sighed softly, "The previous gradual withdrawal felt too gentle. If the counterattack had been stronger..."
He didn't continue. As an observer, although he had contributed some effort, the consequences were not significant.
Therefore, some decisions should be made by the person in charge; all they can do is offer suggestions and wish the other party good luck.
“I feel the same way,” the Great Witch said in support, and the Witch Cultivator’s intuition was beyond doubt.
"Activate all twenty-three points?" Bo Ping Zhenjun's expression was somewhat grim. "Then what's left for Lian Xing?"
There is indeed some chaos within the current realm, but it is still within the range of tolerance.
The reason it looks chaotic is mainly because people are panicking; the actual damage is not that great.
However, just thinking about the power of a large Möbius strip being detonated is enough to make one's scalp tingle.
As for the chain reaction that may follow, it is even more unimaginable!
Even if the space destroyers succeed, how bad can the consequences be?
"Bo Ping, calm down!" At this point, only the old woman could keep him in check. "Why don't you take your men and evacuate Lianxing first?"
To evacuate everyone from such a vast territory in a single day is a pipe dream; even a year wouldn't be enough!
However, everyone has done similar calculations. The only people who can be taken away in a day are the most connected people among the connected people!
However, while it's easy to leave, it's difficult to return.
If one fails to avert the collapse of the heavens, one will be nothing more than a homeless dog wherever one goes; if one succeeds, the one who returns will not receive any reward from heaven and earth.
The key is that there are still people who are trying to save the day; they want to come back, but others have to agree first!
"Yeah, I acted impulsively!" Bo Ping also came to his senses and sighed. "It's mainly because our home is in ruins, and I can't stand it."
"Do you think I wanted to?" The Möbius strip gave him an annoyed look and didn't bother to say anything more.
Simultaneously triggering twenty-three points of light would cause a huge impact on the realm, and wouldn't it have the same effect on her?
Boping knew this in his heart, and upon hearing this, he could only give an awkward smile, "It's just that encountering this at the very beginning is really..."
That's the absolute truth. Tianqing has only just begun and has already encountered such a huge situation. What the hell... will they encounter in the future?
“You can host,” the old woman said, genuinely unhappy. “We are the only two core True Lords, okay?”
"I still need you, my dear sister," Bo Ping Zhenjun smiled, how could he possibly bear such a heavy responsibility?
He made a decisive decision, "Then it's decided. Activate the other orbs of light and try to avoid needing a second forty-nine days..."
There were many True Lords present, but he was the only native, and he had absolute say in deciding Lianxing's fate!
But at that moment, a faint singing voice drifted over.
"I come from the void, carrying the Heart-Questioning Blade, planted in the Heavenly Inclination Domain, hoping only to sever the Heavenly Dao..."
The next moment, a figure appeared, but it was hard to make out clearly. The only thing that could be made out was that the person was dressed in short clothes, wearing a khaki vest and shorts.
The newcomer raised his hands in a gesture of respect and spoke in a loud voice, "Ji Dafeng, a Qi cultivator from the borderlands, greets fellow Daoists Qiu."
"Peak of the Nascent Soul stage!" The young woman instantly recognized the other person's cultivation level.
“Qi cultivators are indeed rare,” the Great Shaman said. “Fellow Daoist, your sudden appearance is surely for your guidance.”
"I am the one destined for this tribulation," Ji Dafeng said frankly, "I only seek to overcome this tribulation, and have nothing to do with karma!"
"I want to attempt to merge," the young lady murmured softly; she really did know a little about everything.
"His karma is unrelated to ours. I never imagined that there really are Qi cultivators in this world!"
"You'll die!" Seven Leaves True Monarch exclaimed, "Brother Dao, be careful!"
“Life is death, and death is life. Fellow Daoist, you are too attached to appearances,” the Qi Refiner chuckled. “If no one objects, then I…”
“Senior, please wait,” Qu Jianlei spoke up, “I have some elders…”
He was thinking of the heroic spirits within the giant axe. Those predecessors didn't want to follow the path of becoming gods through incense offerings, so... what about Qi cultivators?
The other party's sudden appearance and profound understanding of life and death—could this be some kind of hint?
“Your elders are not my elders,” Ji Dafeng smiled. “They are not suitable.”
The old woman was somewhat skeptical that such a powerful figure could suddenly appear and take the blame at such a critical moment.
Could it be some unknown calamity?
She asked in a deep voice, "To break through to higher dimensions, to live in the face of death?"
“High dimension…that’s quite fitting,” the Qi Refiner replied in a deep voice. “I’ve been dormant for ten thousand years before I sensed this opportunity.”
Wen Shi was more thoughtful than the others, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this is not the peak period of the Heavenly Inclination."
“You’re not a Qi cultivator!” Ji Dafeng answered without hesitation. “Everyone has their own methods.”
"Very well, since we need to borrow the strength of you fellow Daoists, let's be clear about it."
"I am either entering a higher dimension to face a calamity or to avert one!"
"This..." The old woman hesitated for a moment, but still did not utter the prophecy, nor did she dare to say any words of blessing.
"May I ask, fellow Daoist, how do you require our cooperation?"
“These turbid energies and spiritual energy… I’ll borrow a bit of them,” the Qi Refiner glanced at the many orbs of light, “Fellow Daoist, you can now loosen your control.”
He made no comment on this configuration, and it is unknown how he viewed it.
But since there wasn't even a single decent compliment, I'm afraid... the evaluation won't be particularly high.
“Okay,” the old woman said without a second thought, giving up control of the large Möbius strip.
There are so many unexpected things on the road that can catch you off guard.
In the rush, relying solely on the other party's account, she couldn't determine the right or wrong of this cause and effect.
However, she still trusted her intuition; there were some things that didn't need to be known too much.
At the same moment the orb of light went out of control, twelve smaller orbs of light exploded one after another.
Anyone who pays a little attention can tell that it is a silent zone, with four middle-thousand worlds and seven small worlds.
"Seven Killings and Five Elements Killing..." the old woman sighed softly, "It can actually be used like this?"
Bo Ping Zhenjun's eyes widened in disbelief. "Could it be... that such a change has actually occurred?"
