Chapter 2625 Who Sells Crutches When They're Serious?
The discourse had ended, but many Venerable Ones remained immersed in the atmosphere, reluctant to leave.
However, the Divine Transformation Dojo had its own rules. Apart from the dozen or so cultivators who were in a state of enlightenment, the others gradually left.
The last one to emerge from the arena was an ordinary True Venerable. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Someone recognized him. "It's True Venerable Gao Yi... What happened?"
The next moment, Taiyuan Hai transmitted his divine sense, "How dare you pretend to be enlightened to take advantage of others! Considering this is your first offense, I will give you a slight punishment!"
"My advantage is only for Xiao Qu; you are not qualified!"
Fortunately, this divine sense was sent out in Qianxiu's state, so no one had any doubts.
However, Qu Jianlei and Han Li couldn't help but purse their lips in unison, their eyes filled with helplessness: Well, here we go again!
The next moment, a figure flashed, and Elder Youjian appeared before the two, raising his hand in a gesture of respect, "True Venerable Qu, I have a generous gift to offer..."
His cause and effect couldn't wait any longer, so he went straight to the point.
“My husband and I are also willing to go together,” Qing Ning said, flashing over with Qing’er. This couple’s interracial love was no longer hiding from others!
However, after this discussion, Qinglong has made so many good connections that no one can still regard her as a demon.
"We couldn't be happier," Elder Youjian said with a beaming smile. Speaking of new paths to the Soul Essence, these two are second only to Qu Zhenzun!
As for worrying about the other party doing something bad? There's no need to worry, since the two sides don't interact much on a regular basis.
In the past, Youjian looked down on Qingning, but after the couple became True Venerables, they looked down on him instead.
The Great Way is impartial; the so-called transformation of the world into a vast ocean is nothing more than this.
Hearing that they were leaving together, several more True Venerables gathered around.
The discussion just now wasn't quite enough, and they knew Youjian's intentions, so they thought they could take this opportunity to see some practical application.
And wouldn't this process provide an opportunity for more interaction?
"Fellow Daoists!" This time, Youjian was not having it.
What a joke! He is the most senior elder in Lingyun Sect. No one in the sect dares to provoke him, let alone outsiders.
He spoke with a dark face, "It is the cause and effect of the junior's body leaving the body, which is quite an obstacle. If you all leave first, I will have my own reasons."
In the past, in Houde, the cause and effect of astral projection was a very important event—otherwise, what need would there be for Dharma protectors?
However, the next moment, another figure flashed over, and the Unworthy True Venerable spoke with a grin, "Elder, I would like to see for myself."
"What are you doing here?" Elder Youjian frowned slightly. "Leave immediately!"
Although they are both True Venerables of Lingyun, their factions are different. They can barely unite externally, but they will face competition for resources internally.
The reason they were able to treat Qu Jianlei together before was because Baiqiao wanted to use this opportunity to reform the sect's atmosphere, and the two had no choice but to stick together for warmth.
There's no need for that now. In fact, when he protects the younger generation, he's often on guard against people like the unworthy True Venerable.
It is no exaggeration to say that heretics are more hateful than pagans.
The unworthy True Venerable was displeased upon hearing this, "Look at your narrow-mindedness! I am willing to contribute my share and observe from the sidelines."
"You've really struck it rich," Elder Youjian sneered. "Although I didn't go to the other world to conquer it, your gains are probably not much either."
His words were an allusion—when you went to the other world, you weren't in the first two batches; you had offended Qu Zhenzun!
“Elder, that’s not very meaningful,” the Unworthy True Venerable said with a straight face. “True Venerable Qu is about to leave, so who are you underestimating?”
The logic behind this statement is very clear: Qu Jianlei's trip will inevitably involve him in cause and effect.
Although the cause and effect may not be too great, anyone who dares to scheme against that junior should be asked one question—are they slapping Qu Zhenzun in the face?
The unworthy True Venerable was not particularly afraid of this dying fellow, but now he is even more unscrupulous!
You can disregard my feelings, but if you have the guts, don't disregard Qu Zhenzun's feelings either!
“Fellow Daoist’s words are very reasonable,” Elder Youjian said with a smile. “I hope you will take good care of my juniors.”
“That’s a must,” the Unworthy True Venerable nodded. “You and I are from the same sect, and we are both destined to be with True Venerable Qu.”
"Count me in," the figure flashed again, and Xuan Yi Zhenzun appeared. "Elder, our relationship is quite good."
Before Elder Youjian could speak, Song Yue'er arrived, "Elder, if you don't give me face, I'll go find Han Li!"
"That's right," Elder Youjian said, both amused and exasperated. He had also asked Song Zhenzun for help back then.
"I'd like to come along and take a look, is that alright?" Tianli Zhenzun also came over. "I mainly need examples!"
Jing Yuexin is in seclusion on his spiritual vein. If he wants to know anything, he can just ask Qu Zhenzun.
But witnessing real-life examples is a different experience.
Qu Zhenzun is certainly trustworthy, but wouldn't it be better if we could keep firsthand information in our own hands?
At the very least, if Qu Zhenzun is unable to be in two places at once, he won't be caught off guard, right?
When Elder Youjian saw it was him, he could only smile wryly, "How could I dare to stop you?"
He wouldn't have looked down on rogue cultivators in the past, but he knew more about the relationship between Tianli and Qu Zhenzun than others.
Leaving aside the matter of exterminating the Pixiu, let's just talk about the recent situation where Elder Qu Zhen is staying on Tianli's territory.
There are rumors that someone might be in seclusion at Red Leaf Ridge, but he would never verify such dubious rumors.
“Then I suppose one more won’t make a difference,” Qingkong also rushed over, stating very frankly, “I want to witness the arrival of my junior, Lingyun!”
In the end, nearly half of the True Venerables went to see the examples.
Elder Youjian really wanted to stop it, but there was nothing he could do; he was truly helpless!
Even Xiao You and Han Wei, the two True Venerables of All Things, followed along.
Faced with Elder Youjian's refusal, True Venerable Han Wei bluntly stated, "True Venerable Xiaoyou and True Venerable Qu have a very close relationship, understand?"
When these words were spoken, apart from Han Li glancing at them, no one else reacted at all.
Besides these True Venerables, there were other True Venerables who also wanted to go, but each had their own affairs and could only leave disappointed.
The group left in a grand procession, completely unaware of how others would perceive their actions.
Some people don't think much about it; at most, they just sigh that this debate hasn't ended, it's just moved outside the main hall.
The effects of Qu Zhenzun's discourse on the Dao were truly extraordinary!
Few could have imagined that, after this incident, virtue would gradually become a rule.
That was the true master of this discourse, who hardly considered the danger from Houde when his juniors used a new path to leave their bodies.
Because it involves the karma of Qu Zhenzun—no matter how much karma there is, at least in this generation, no one wants to provoke the supernatural powers of time.
Furthermore, since the breakthroughs are all conducted in other realms, the power of the guardians will not be weakened much, but at least the threat from one direction will be reduced.
So much so that in the three or four thousand years that followed, many True Venerables who successfully broke through the barrier said: I was able to succeed thanks to True Venerable Qu.
Some of these True Venerables did not attempt to break through in another world, while others did not use new methods but chose the old path.
Here's another perspective: Who says new approaches can't help old ones?
Qu Jianlei's sermons were comprehensive, after all, they took a full year and a half to complete.
Although he mainly talked about new approaches, he also provided a profound analysis of the process of leaving the body during his discourse.
Many of his insights and judgments came after discussions on the Dao, but there is no doubt that he made a useful supplement to the traditional methods of astral projection!
Moreover, who dares to say that those who advance through the Houde level don't use new methods? Such examples do exist.
The key is to use Qu Zhenzun's name to advance in rank; it really works. Unless you have a deep-seated grudge, people will give you some face.
Qu Jianlei stayed with Elder Youjian for less than a month.
After completing this divination and analysis, he was invited to visit two true masters.
There's no way around it; once this kind of business starts, it's really hard to stop.
Fortunately, the three places they were targeting for their out-of-body experiences were all in the Tree Clan world, and Qu Jianlei was no stranger to that world.
Otherwise, if he were to go to a different world he had never been to before, he would have to go there in person to make an accurate judgment.
Even so, after finishing these three things, another six months had passed.
At this moment, only a dozen or so True Venerables remained by his side.
It's not that everyone's disagreements have stopped, nor that he's stopped working; it's simply that everyone has their own things to do.
Some of the true masters who were merely bystanders were directly kept behind by the parties involved to discuss matters of protecting the Dharma, while others genuinely had other matters to attend to.
At this point, Qu Jianlei was able to take a complete rest and indicated that he might not be in Houde for the next few years.
The remaining True Venerables all said, "You just go about your business. If Houde has any matters to attend to, just let Thunderbolt True Immortal inform him."
At this point, some people could guess that he was planning to go to a new other world.
Qingkong Zhenzun didn't need to guess, because he directly received a veiled invitation.
But Song Yue'er was a little conflicted. She had guessed it, but no one had invited her.
She strongly stated that she would take action together with everyone—there really isn't much development potential left in the Tree Clan world.
However, Han Li remained unmoved, which gave Qu Jianlei a clearer understanding of him: he really was a jerk!
However, let him be. He and Han Li are partners who have agreed to travel together, so there's no need to care about their private lives.
In fact, Shinzo Yugiri had also asked about their next destination.
However, Qu Jianlei and Han Li had already agreed that they would only bring Jin Ge and Qing Kong at most, so they resolutely stated that they would not leak the information.
Qingkong is the cause and effect of the world's gathering point, while Jin Ge... is the desire to go out and explore.
Including the spider and Taiyuan Hai's clones, there are a total of six. The latter two simply wanted to go out and take a look.
Tai Yuanhai spoke with great conviction, indicating that he didn't care about the small world.
But when the time came, she said, "I'm just an extension of myself, it won't hurt to take a look. If I don't follow along, Xiao Qu will miss me."
Qu Jianlei had no choice but to reply weakly, "Don't be like that, what decent person would sell crutches?"
Just as the four entered the void, a divine sense swept over them, its aura extraordinary.
