Taiyuan Hai's female voice did not sound again, but Han Li was really not sure whether the other party had left or not.
The spider was stunned for a long time before stammering, "No, not... I don't think so."
It was only a quasi-divine being, while Taiyuan Hai was a proper Great Lord. Even if the clone was slightly inferior, it was still not something it could absolutely perceive.
"Never mind," Han Li beckoned to Qu Zhenzun, "Come on, let's perfect the formation, otherwise we won't be able to stay at home."
This is just something he lent to the other party; when it will be returned, and whether it will be returned at all, is still up for discussion, but ultimately, he can't let people come and go as they please.
The grand formation on Jiuyou Island is truly extraordinary.
Qu Jianlei had done some preliminary research, but not much. After all, this was Han Li's territory, and as a guest, he only needed to know how to use it.
Even if the two have a good relationship, they still need to maintain a proper sense of boundaries. That is, he only made a move now that his master had invited him.
This comprehensive inspection and study of the formation's operation took him ten days.
He even had some doubts, "You said it was arranged by Wenxian, but this level... it should be beyond that, right?"
It's almost impossible for someone to surpass Wenxian in the art of array formations, but mastery and practical application are not entirely the same thing.
The matching of formations with the environment often involves brilliant ideas that require a lot of inspiration and test the imagination of the person setting up the formation.
“I added a few things myself,” Han Li replied casually, “but Wen Xian said that was his peak performance at that time.”
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly upon hearing this. The formation he created was different from the existing formation; sometimes there were indeed peaks and troughs.
Anyway, the formation is very powerful, so it's even more difficult to modify it.
In the end, he only made a few minor changes and added three more formations.
Unfortunately, good works are indeed difficult to modify, so we can only enhance security through nesting.
However, it's not just a simple stacking; the three formations are linked to the original grand formation, so the effect is definitely better.
This is not a complete formation design; at most, it can only be considered an auxiliary formation. However, it just requires more formation materials, and the effect is about the same.
Twenty days had passed since Qu Jianlei finished setting up the formation, and Jin Ge's clone still hadn't returned.
Ling Yun must be agonizing over something again, but the three of them didn't seem to care.
After it was completed, Qu Jianlei asked Spider to go out and test the array's defenses.
The Spider Lord had a high opinion of the changes. Although its skill in formations was poor, it still had no problem distinguishing between strong and weak opponents.
It believed that it could not enter the great formation except by force, and that even a Divine Lord could not pass through silently.
After confirming, the three breathed a sigh of relief. Twenty days had passed; that person must have left.
Qu Jianlei has rested and recuperated. He plans to spend a few more days figuring out how to improve the formation before going to see Jing Yuexin.
Han Li watched from the sidelines while chatting with Jin Ge, "You mean that person? Why did they decide to come here?"
He was absolutely certain that the Great Khan couldn't possibly be that bored.
Jin Ge was a little hesitant to respond—"You can do whatever you want, why do you have to drag me into this?"
However, in the end, he couldn't help but say, "The other party didn't just slap Lingyun Dajun in the face, after all, it happened at the entrance of the dojo."
If it were a spirit with a temper, it might truly consider it a disgrace.
"But shouldn't we be looking for that person?" Han Li asked, puzzled. "If we find the target, Qu Zhenzun will have to be grateful."
"How can we possibly fathom the actions of a great ruler?" Qu Jianlei replied casually. "Can't we talk about something else?"
"Do you really think I'm that free?" Han Li couldn't help but ask. "Ling Yun hasn't given any new feedback yet."
"We need to analyze the possible situation; a person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."
"At worst, we can go to the stars to discuss philosophy," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "I'm not ashamed of it."
There's always a way out; why worry about things you can't control?
"Isn't that settled?" Han Li rolled her eyes at him. "You already promised to take handsome me to the dojo, what would be the consequences if you didn't go?"
“That’s just… um,” Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, “If you’re going to court death, don’t drag me down with you.”
"She knocked me away three times!" Han Li was still somewhat resentful. "With that energy, why not go find that person?"
"Shut up," even the spider couldn't help but remind him, "If you keep talking about that person, he might actually come from another world."
"Isn't this a scheme in itself?" Han Li replied smugly. "If he really can't resist, wouldn't it be perfect if he came over?"
“You’re hopeless,” Jin Ge shook his head helplessly, then paused, “My clone is summoning me, I have to go.”
After he left, Han Li spoke again, "What do you think, should we secretly hide away in the Mountain and Water Realm?"
"I want to too," Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly; he really disliked this feeling of waiting.
"But the problem is, are mountains and rivers necessarily good? As long as one is a cultivator, one cannot escape various needs and grudges."
“Let’s wait another ten days,” Han Li said. “If we still haven’t heard back, shall we go and take Yi He home?”
Qu Jianlei remained silent for a while before replying, "We'll call Qingkong then!"
Each of the True Venerables has their own strengths, but without a doubt, among their shared partners, the Great Protector's combat power is absolutely outstanding.
The key point is that they met Qingkong at the World Gathering Point, and he was also very interested in exploring other worlds.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jin Ge still hadn't returned.
The two were unwilling to wait any longer, and quietly left Jiuyou Island with the spider.
However, the two paused slightly the next moment, and Han Li's lips twitched involuntarily, "So many causal threads?"
The formation that Qu Jianlei modified was mainly designed to strengthen the defenses of high-level cultivators, with a deliberate increase in causal barriers.
Once they left Jiuyou Island, the two realized that the causal connections between them were far more numerous than usual.
Qu Jianlei casually sensed a dozen or so causal lines and felt a little helpless. "So I'm that popular?"
Most of the reasons were to find out about Qu Zhenzun's condition and how serious his injuries were in this incident.
Moreover, these concerns mostly came from True Venerables, whose qualifications as True Immortals were... somewhat lacking.
However, Han Li saw through the truth in one sentence, "That was just an excuse. What I really wanted to know was when we could discuss the Dao."
Qu Jianlei remained silent for a while before speaking, "If you want to go to Yi He's world, at least... three years is the minimum!"
It will only take Houde about a year to go to the Asura world.
However, this is a well-established path, saving the trouble of exploration, providing a fast track, and eliminating most of the potential hazards along the way.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei's claim of finding another world in three years is not a long time at all; in fact, it can be said to be quite short.
This is largely thanks to the trials and tribulations he has undergone over the years, as well as the absorption of the aura of the word "luck." Otherwise, even if it took twice as long, there's no guarantee he could have survived.
“Three years…” Han Li did not doubt the time, but frowned. “That’s a minor world.”
"So there are so many things to do..." Qu Jianlei shook his head and sighed, feeling that his time was really fragmented.
"Let's go to Tianli first, and then... uh, meet with the Boundary Envoy."
A soft light appeared. "Where are you two headed?"
“I’m going to see True Venerable Xiaoyou,” Qu Jianlei replied calmly. “She has some treasures that I want.”
This is not nonsense. Xiao You also has a rule of creation that he does need.
However, the deeper meaning is self-evident: if Lingyun continues to be fixated on the conditions, then the other side... is also very sincere.
"You don't need to tell me that," the light said casually. "I'm only responsible for keeping the guests here; others will handle the rest."
"Who has the audacity to send a boundary envoy to detain guests?" Han Li asked calmly. "Is it that lady from Taiyuan Sea?"
"Taiyuan...Sister?" The ball of light flickered and vanished instantly. "Pretend I was never here!"
"That's right..." Qu Jianlei and Han Li exchanged a glance. "Why does it feel like there are many situations I'm unaware of?"
"I wouldn't dare to say anything recklessly, or I'd be asking for trouble," the handsome young man shook his head.
"And what are you afraid of?" Qu Jianlei smiled. "Then I'll go to Tianli's place first."
"Wait a moment!" Before Han Li could finish speaking, the other party had already disappeared.
The ball of light suddenly reappeared. The Realm Envoy's ability was truly unmatched. "Han Li, your third uncle is calling you."
"I don't know him!" The handsome young man, who had been relatively normal, immediately darkened upon hearing this. "Senior Realm Envoy, please speak if you have something to say."
"What are you doing?" The ball of light trembled slightly. "You think I'm falsely conveying the Great Lord's decree?"
“I really don’t know him,” Han Li said, his expression becoming serious. “Senior, I have always respected you. Let’s just stick to the facts.”
The ball of light didn't react for a while before finally saying, "Your third uncle... the Great Lord said, 'Jade must be carved to become a useful object!'"
"There are plenty of cases where everything is destroyed, so who have I ever blamed?" Han Li asked calmly.
Then he said calmly, "A great king should be high above, not needing to worry about trivial matters. Every brick, tile, and jade has its own destiny..."
"But I find it pointless to cause trouble for others for no reason. Isn't it better to just ignore it?"
"Alas," the ball of light sighed softly and disappeared, leaving only the words, "All are destined for calamity!"
"A calamity? Tch," Han Li snorted coldly, but considering the identity of the Heavenly Mirror, he ultimately didn't say much more.
Qu Jianlei arrived at Tianli's spiritual vein, just as Tianli's clone was sensing the surroundings.
After the two talked for a while, Qu Jianlei learned that many True Venerables had already arrived at the four camps, and Tianli's True Venerable had also gone there.
Most of the True Venerables believed that the interruption of True Venerable Qu's discourse must have been the work of one of these four families.
As for other possibilities? Those certainly exist, but the problem is: who would believe in such a low-probability event?
A wild lord wandered to Houde, happened to hear about the Daoist discussion, and then made a move... Did he really think everyone else was a fool?
