Qu Jianlei couldn't show favoritism to these genuine venerable ones who came to his door—he didn't like to go through the motions, but he still had to act like a decent person.
He constantly reminded himself not to get carried away, so he patiently answered every question from every True Venerable.
However, in such cases, it's usually not enough to achieve the goal with just a few words; it's enough to make the other person realize the truth.
When the other party only knows the facts, they will inevitably ask why.
In such one-on-one situations, without outside interference, the two parties can communicate in greater detail and generate more clashes of viewpoints.
In other words, the other party does not fully accept Qu Zhenzun's ideas and will raise their own questions.
In this situation, Qu Jianlei himself can also benefit, and he does not reject such exchanges.
However, this will inevitably lengthen the communication time, which can also be considered a discussion of principles, but most of the focus will be on the details.
Often, before one person's debate is over, another powerful figure will come knocking.
The ascetic clone of Baiqiao, who was originally far away, heard their conversation getting more and more lively and moved closer and closer.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of True Venerables who have discussed the Dao with Qu Jianlei has reached the third.
There was one more person in line behind us, which was fine, but the two people in front of us refused to leave, indicating that we would just listen and wouldn't interrupt.
Qu Jianlei couldn't very well kick others out, could he? He not only enjoyed the process, but more importantly, they had all paid for it.
The third person presented a very generous gift. After chatting for half a month, he invited Qu Zhenzun to leave and help check on the juniors who were about to break through their barriers.
Baiqiao finally couldn't hold back any longer, "You can bring the person over. Qu Zhenzun has so many things to do every day."
However, this person stated that their descendants do not necessarily have to choose a new path; they simply want to be able to handle both situations.
If that junior is to advance in rank, he will most likely do so through his own family's fifth-rank spiritual vein.
Since Qu Zhenzun is also skilled in divination, why not help analyze the situation on the spot and decide which path is better?
Of course, he wouldn't let Qu Zhenzun work for nothing; he would definitely show him the proper appreciation.
To demonstrate that he had no other motives, he left behind eight Nascent Soul cultivators to patrol the area around the restricted zone.
Qu Jianlei was speechless: So now I'm starting to develop in the direction of "out-of-body integrated solutions"?
The two True Venerables who hadn't left exchanged a glance—it seems we could do this too?
However, both of them were shrewd and knew that they couldn't make that request at this time.
Otherwise, Qu Zhenzun might find it too tiring and give up, which would be pointless.
Let's bring it up again after he's gone to see that other one. He can't very well show favoritism, can he?
So the two of them said, "We also want to go and see for ourselves, and broaden our horizons."
The third True Venerable expressed strong opposition: It's fine for you two to stay here, this is inconvenient!
This is a very normal reaction. Why is it necessary for someone to protect you when you leave your body? It's because you're worried about malice from the outside world!
This malice doesn't necessarily require hatred; the existence of a potential conflict of interest is enough.
If the outside world becomes aware of the fact that one's own offspring have reached a certain stage of development, the risks will definitely increase!
These two True Venerables were secretly annoyed upon hearing this, and couldn't help but think to themselves: Does it mean that just because there aren't many True Venerables, they aren't outsiders?
However, judging from this point alone, Qu Zhenzun's reputation is actually quite good.
Although he was quite bloodthirsty, it was generally acknowledged that those he killed were people with whom he had clear grudges.
Moreover, they have already announced a new path to the body, making such a big fuss. Wouldn't it be better to just sit back and reap a huge karmic reward?
Even disregarding his character, from a purely interest-based perspective, Qu Zhenzun is the least likely to cause trouble in secret.
However, faced with the request from the third True Venerable, Qu Jianlei, seeing that he couldn't refuse, still emphasized one point.
You can lend a hand, but you can only increase the probability to a certain extent, so don't have too high expectations!
It's better to say the unpleasant things upfront.
It's not that the other True Venerables don't understand this, but rather that every potential cultivator who has left the body is someone on whom high hopes are placed.
Once you fail to advance, only the person involved can understand the pain. Not only will you lose both money and life, but you will also experience immense disappointment.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei must issue a disclaimer to avoid causing further trouble.
That person said, "I absolutely understand. I just want to increase the success rate a little. Who wouldn't understand that?"
However, Baiqiao couldn't help but speak up when she heard this. "Qu Zhenzun, I've been waiting for so many days. There are some things I need to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh, "About Lianxing, right? I didn't even let their True Venerables enter Houde!"
He felt that he had done a very good job, both morally and logically.
Although he initially had some intention to show off, after realizing it was inappropriate, he fully considered Houde's interests.
“I heard about this from the Great Protector,” Baiqiao said, glancing around before releasing a protective shield.
The protective shield enclosed the two people, as well as Han Li and Jin Ge, allowing the four to communicate independently.
The other True Venerables exchanged glances, all taken aback. "Are they treating us like outsiders?"
Baiqiao spoke solemnly from inside the protective shield, "According to the Great Protector, Qu Zhenzun has a solution?"
"Where's the clue?" Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly. "I don't even have a starting point, it's just..."
He sighed and then spoke again, "Alas, originally it was because I coveted the core of the other party's world."
He dared not say this to Lianxing, who was worried about how to save the realm, while he was thinking about the benefits after the world was destroyed...
"The sect takes this matter very seriously," Baiqiao said solemnly.
"Let me affirm one thing first: your decision to have True Venerable Lianxing wait outside the realm was the right one!"
"Lingyun is very interested in knowing the specific details, including your judgment and analysis."
Qu Jianlei blinked and asked in confusion, "Doesn't the sect... have a Grand Master to make the decision?"
No matter how many ideas he has, can he surpass the authority of the Great Monarch? Even the Star Cultivator values him because he might be able to develop a solution.
"The sect's Grand Lord... sigh," Baiqiao gave a bitter smile, "Even the Grand Lord of Lianxing has run away, do you think the other Grand Lords would be willing to get involved?"
"Anyway, everyone thinks that we should pay more attention to your opinions and suggestions on this matter. Well, you can pay for it."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "What I can say, the Great Protector already knows... Why don't you tell me what you want to know?"
Baiqiao tilted his head and thought for a moment before speaking, "This kind of collapse is quite rare, especially in the Great World."
"Could you assess whether this could lead to transmission?"
"How old am I?" Qu Jianlei replied, both amused and exasperated.
"I can't tell. If I had to give an answer, it's possible, but unlikely. Just be careful."
Then he asked curiously, "Does Ling Yun have any records about Tian Qing?"
“They’re all middle and small chiliocosms,” Hyakuhashi replied casually, “the kind where the sky collapses and the earth splits, completely unreasonable.”
"That means the world's lifespan has come to an end, but the records don't show any signs of decay..."
“The cultivators of Lianxing have been judging for tens of thousands of years, so they should have reached the end of their lifespan,” Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, “and they also have the approval of the Xuanzun.”
“Xuan Zun…” Bai Qiao’s lips twitched; he didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore.
"However, this situation is indeed rare, and we must be on guard..."
After a moment's hesitation, he asked again, seemingly out of the blue, "How confident are you?"
"Where do you get the confidence to say that?" Qu Jianlei blinked. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I think you've probably guessed it by now," Baiqiao sighed, "What exactly are your plans for the True Venerables of Lianxing?"
"So... it's still a problem with the mountain?" Qu Jianlei sighed helplessly. "Their territory is still a long way from collapsing."
According to Lian Xing's calculations, the collapse of the heavens would be at least ten thousand years from now.
None of the True Venerables who came with him could possibly live to that age, unless they could advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
But who doesn't understand the difficulty of being distracted? Even if these True Venerables don't die a violent death now, they will surely die of old age.
Even if someone does advance to the rank of Great Ruler, would they still look down on the Houde Realm?
With the abilities of a great ruler, which world cannot provide him with shelter? There's no need to fight to the death with just one family.
"A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present," Baiqiao replied calmly. "Who do you think would wait until their time is up before looking for a way out?"
“I understand what you mean,” Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, “but am I that untrustworthy?”
“You’re soft-hearted,” Baiqiao replied without hesitation. “Everyone says you’re bloodthirsty, and I know what’s wrong with you.”
"The key is that, given your past personality, it would have been impossible for you to bring so many external deities to Houde."
It's said that the person who understands you best is your enemy. Baiqiao isn't Qu Zhenzun's enemy, but he's quite the schemer.
"I just wanted to show off a little," Qu Jianlei said, somewhat speechless.
"If it were you, about to save the world, wouldn't you want to show off a little?"
“I don’t want to,” Baiqiao shook his head and answered decisively, “but I can understand your thoughts.”
"The problem now is that with so many Star-level True Venerables arriving, more than one person is asking: What do you want to do?"
"I'll help turn the tide," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "Other matters are not part of my plan."
Having said all that, he no longer bothered to hide it, "You guys are always worrying about this and that..."
"But have you ever considered what would happen if I failed?"
"I'm really fed up with this. Why do they worry about everything all day long? If they had any other choice, would I have taken this job?"
Baiqiao remained silent, thinking to himself, "If you really can't handle it when the time comes, will you definitely lose your life?"
He had his own logical judgment: Qu Zhenzun was passively involved this time, which could be considered a calamity, but it might not actually be fatal.
Given their extraordinary talent, some hardship is inevitable, but it is unlikely to cause any serious injury.
Was that sermon at Taiyuanhai truly a waste of time? The good karma it garnered is immeasurable!
In the same vast world, the ever-growing virtue and the blessings it contains, are they not as good as the fading stars in the twilight?
The truth is that Qu Zhenzun already possessed the Cangwu Realm, and after gathering many Zhenzun from Lianxing, his potential became excessively great.
