Chapter 2707 Specious
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback. Was this some kind of "want to pay more" trick?
However, it must be said that this is quite interesting, and it's normal to charge for information.
So he wasn't angry. "Then name your price, and we'll hear it."
“We didn’t mean anything by it,” Hongyue said slowly, taking a deep breath.
There was no other way; the other party was too powerful, so he had to present the facts and reason with them.
His reason for making the request was quite valid—you only have a karmic connection with the Haoran Sect, so there are some inside stories that require payment!
However, that's not the main point. The main point is that he directly offered a price: to merge at least one lower realm into the main world!
This price is really not low!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Qu Jianlei, at the Nascent Soul stage, was able to help Jin Ge cut through a small world; cutting and merging are not easy tasks!
It doesn't need much explanation; it's just that saying: destruction is easy, construction is difficult!
In a magical alternate world, the Three True Immortals of Heavenly Pride attempted to fuse fragments of the world, but encountered numerous problems along the way.
Later in the Yelang Realm, they merged their smaller world into the other world, but how big was that smaller world?
The conditions proposed by Hongyue are a test for the Three Pride Masters. If it were an ordinary True Venerable, they really wouldn't be able to take on this task!
Han Li always plays the villain – he's used to courting death, so what's the big deal about being a villain?
He sneered and said, "We've wasted years of our time, only to get a single piece of information from you... Do you really think cultivators are easy to talk to?"
“I knew cultivators were highly skilled,” Hongyue said unhurriedly, “It just takes a little time.”
"Your words are quite offensive," Xiaoyou said calmly.
"Although I still have five thousand years to live, not a single day is wasted... Do you understand?"
"Truly impressive, a thousand-year-old Grand Venerable," Hongyue's expression turned serious, "and his aura is still unsteady... I admire you!"
This means that the other party has been out of their body for quite some time.
Being able to travel through the void at this moment means that one already possesses the abilities and corresponding magical treasures available after leaving the body.
These Red Moons understood, but they weren't particularly afraid. "Our karmic connection with the Haoran Sect is far more complex than it seems!"
He seemed certain that the Haoran Sect was a behemoth in the cultivation world.
Although this is basically true—at least he's far superior to Lingyun—it still warms the heart.
Xiao You remained silent. What could she say? With a Grand Master as her master, she knew to some extent the power of the Haoran Sect.
Actually, there's not much to say. Just talking about the Lingyun Sect, no one wants to mention this sect easily.
Meanwhile, within Lingyun, some people were still inquiring about the Haoran Sect, but the sect itself was not in a position to intervene.
At this point, only Qu Zhenzun could step in.
He calmly stated, "Speak if you want to, otherwise I'll eliminate you..."
"You say your roots are in the Vast Realm, but you don't even mention it in the Realm. My destruction of your entire world is just a slight punishment."
“Yes,” Xiaoyou nodded readily in agreement, “Anyone who is ungrateful should be punished!”
“That’s right,” Song Yue’er’s eyes gleamed with blatant greed, “To obtain the world’s core… I must participate!”
"The core of the world?" The six martial gods were all shocked. Was it really necessary to be so cruel?
The demise of the Middle Thousand Worlds will inevitably lead to the emergence of the World Core. This news is not exactly a secret among the Martial Gods.
"Old ghost, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you," Qin Ming said coldly. "Our honored guest said he has a karmic connection with Hao Ran, but that's just politeness!"
"If you don't understand, then don't blame us for putting righteousness before family!"
“I’m curious too,” a white-haired Valkyrie chuckled softly, “to rely on defying conventions… what makes you so special?”
"Then I'll speak first!" Seeing that she had incurred the wrath of the crowd, Hongyue could only raise her hands. "But the value of the information... you can decide for yourselves, esteemed guest!"
This kind of development is not uncommon in the martial arts world, and there is even a specific term for it, somewhat similar to "a treaty under duress".
This story begins at the very beginning of the world's development.
Because of the existence of spirit stones and spiritual energy, this world was not lacking in extraordinary creatures from the very beginning.
Until one day, a wandering shaman discovered this place—or perhaps even an ancestral shaman, though the records are vague.
He found that the foundation of this world was good, so he gathered his relatives and friends and took over the world.
The great shaman continued his wanderings; the mere Middle Thousand Worlds were not worth his lingering in, and he didn't even leave behind any trace of his origins.
This is somewhat similar to Qu Jianlei's journey to the Relic Realm. If he hadn't provoked Lian Xing's ruthless path, he would have only left behind a legend.
However, the great shaman summoned not only his relatives from the shamanic realm, but also other human races from various other chaotic systems.
That's right, it's just a mere middle-thousand world, helping some low-level cultivators find a way out, nothing more.
These humans lived and multiplied in this place, and because of the great shaman, they did not discriminate against each other, resulting in a mixture of various bloodlines.
At that time, not many people were certain which cultivation method was the most orthodox.
Moreover, the upper limit is not high. The strongest is the Nascent Soul stage, but because of the lack of cultivation techniques, they cannot even leave their bodies.
Until one day, the Heavenly Demons launched a massive invasion, causing heavy casualties among the human race, which was on the verge of total annihilation.
At the critical moment, a white light descended from the sky, directly annihilating the Heavenly Demon. It was a cultivator from the Haoran Sect who happened to be passing by!
Three cultivators from the Haoran Sect passed by; one's cultivation level was unknown, another was at the Nascent Soul stage, and the third was at the nascent soul stage.
The one whose cultivation level was unclear seemed to know about the Great Shaman, which was why he made a move.
Then, he left his body and helped the natives organize cultivation manuals, believing that this place was a place for cultivating immortality.
These two, for reasons unknown, left after finishing their business, leaving only the Nascent Soul here.
The Nascent Soul cultivator advanced to the Out-of-Body stage here and even brought four more beings down to the lower realms.
This person could have been a revered Dao Ancestor here, but now, a genius of extraordinary talent has appeared in this area.
This person, who achieved the Transcendental Realm through martial arts, openly questioned: Cultivating immortality may not be the most suitable path!
The remaining cultivators of the Haoran Sect fought him briefly before gracefully departing: "You chose this path yourselves!"
This prodigy later banned cultivation techniques and encouraged everyone to follow the path of martial arts.
Then, this person failed to break through the distraction, and his last words were: Stay away from the Haoran Sect!
Whether it was out of guilt or fear of being investigated by the Haoran Sect, he left behind this nonsensical message.
However, in the judgment of later generations, this was seen as going against the Haoran Sect!
However, in any case, after him, there were many instances of the Out-of-Body stage in the martial arts world. Although it cannot be called an explosion, there were quite a few.
The key point is that there were hardly any Nascent Soul cultivators before, but now there are plenty of Martial Saints!
This person has made contributions to the world; all martial arts practitioners believe so.
However, at the same time, the upper limit of cultivators in this world is Martial God, and no martial arts cultivators of higher realms have appeared...
That's all Hongyue knows, but even this much information isn't known to all martial gods.
As everyone was processing this information, another martial god suddenly spoke up, "That's not entirely true..."
He had a different opinion because his ancestor had traveled abroad and returned successfully.
The relevant information was not leaked out; it was only passed down secretly within his lineage.
That old ancestor had also been to the cultivation world and had heard about related information.
It is said that the Haoran Sect saved a middle-thousand world where witches existed and also helped create the lower realm.
Later, when a prodigy appeared in that world, he was determined to follow a different cultivation system.
The Haoran Sect disciple who was out training reached out to measure the other party and found that the upper limit of this system was worrying.
But since the path was chosen by others, the disciple did not insist and drifted away.
He was naturally somewhat saddened, but the Haoran Sect had always acted this way, only seeking its needs from other races and rarely engaging in internal strife with the human race.
When the Martial God heard this news, the narrator recounted the story and also sighed at the Haoran Sect's actions, saying that they were indeed able to take things in stride.
After hearing this, the old ancestor had some doubts. Was the martial arts world that the other party was talking about really his own?
Only cultivators who have traveled extensively can truly appreciate how vast the world outside is.
However, when he returned, he immediately sensed that it must be this world.
The God of War's intuition is truly beyond doubt.
This ancestor left behind some common knowledge about the cultivation world, and then went out and ascended to immortality in the void.
Nobody knows what he was thinking when he made this decision.
When he left, he left a message: Don't go near the world of cultivation again.
Also, the reason that person from the Haoran Sect left back then wasn't because he was defeated by the geniuses of this realm, but because he was heartbroken!
After finishing his story, the Martial God sighed softly, "If we weren't outside this realm, I wouldn't want to say it."
Admitting that martial arts are inferior to cultivating immortality is inherently a difficult thing for martial arts practitioners.
But now that everyone is talking about it, he feels it's necessary to clarify the cause and effect behind it.
It is worth emphasizing that the rumors circulating in this world are absolutely true—they have indeed defied the Haoran Sect!
He believed that Hongyue's attitude was seriously problematic: If you keep using the Haoran Sect's name, aren't you afraid that the news will reach other people's ears?
That sect is indeed friendly to humans, but even clay figures have a temper... Can't you be a little more discouraging in your actions?
After listening, Qu Jianlei didn't look at Hongyue, but instead looked at the others, "Does anyone have anything to add?"
The five martial gods remained silent, while the old woman with gray hair rolled her eyes, seemingly having some idea.
But in the end, she did nothing.
Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Hongyue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but in her heart she cursed the Martial God for being so meddlesome!
In fact, according to his own guess, that disciple of Haoran was not actually stronger than the genius ancestor of this realm.
At least in terms of connecting smaller worlds, martial arts practitioners are far behind. After that person left, no new smaller worlds were added to the Middle Thousand Worlds.
Many later martial gods made numerous attempts, but at most they could only maintain the connection with the smaller world.
Seeing that no one spoke, Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Never mind, I won't overstep my bounds."
"Next, we plan to stay in this Middle Thousand World for a while. Does anyone object?"
