Chapter 2734 Paradise
Before coming here, Qu Jianlei had already learned about the ways to enter the Spirit Realm.
Very few people know this—the key is that this kind of knowledge is best kept to oneself, and no one wants to leak it.
However, since it was Qu Zhenzun who wanted to inquire, it was impossible for him to come up empty-handed; he must have some information.
There are two main ways to enter: by invitation or by force, and the latter will be subject to questioning.
The specific details of the forced entry and interrogation are somewhat uncertain, depending on what the other party came up with on the spot.
However, in any case, it's always good to try your best to demonstrate your abilities.
The token of Master Qing was originally held by Luo Fu; Master Qu Zhen had no interest in it.
But before entering the realm, he consulted with the bright-eyed girl: I'd like to borrow your token of righteousness.
We're all friends here. If the young lady can borrow his weapon, it shouldn't be a problem for him to borrow his token, right?
The key point is that Luo Fu has already decided to conceal her identity as a member of the Haoran Sect as much as possible, a point that has been explained previously.
The others involved also kept quiet—they were all true masters, and no one wanted to create unnecessary karma.
Even Han Wei, Yue Ran, and Lian Xing's She Niu Zhen Zun, who were traveling with her at the moment, did not know her true identity.
Luo Fu didn't hesitate at all and lent it out readily.
Because she also knew very well that if Qu Zhenzun really wanted this token, he could have taken it back in the martial arts world.
At that time, she had already decided to voluntarily give up the token—having found the cultivation world, the token should naturally be taken away by Senior Brother Qu.
Qu Jianlei returned the token, but she didn't feel much joy; instead, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Are you so eager to distance yourself from me?
So when Qu Zhenzun asked her to borrow the token, she was actually quite happy and readily agreed: "You can keep it for me."
However, Qu Jianlei readily stated: "I'll borrow it for now, just in case."
The key point is that if you were asked to show your identity at that time, wouldn't your identity be exposed?
Qu Zhenzun vaguely remembered that when he borrowed the token, there seemed to be something inexplicable in the eyes of the bright-eyed girl.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared, and now it was time to present the token.
The gatekeeper was somewhat arrogant, but his actions were generally fine, and his explanations were also quite accurate.
Then he had no choice but to give it a try. How much influence did the Haoran Sect have in Zhongling?
The moment the token was presented, the spirits in the courtyard fell silent. The two bronze inscriptions, "Haoran," though small, were particularly striking.
Three or four breaths later, he asked, "How many have come?"
There are indeed those who use the reputation of the Haoran Sect to swindle and deceive, but they are definitely all low-level cultivators.
Those who can cultivate to the True Venerable realm all understand the immense cause and effect involved.
"This..." Qu Jianlei wanted to say that no one came, but even excluding Luo Fu, there was still a lingering obsession within the ritual vessel.
"Just pretend no one came. I'm asking if I can bring people in?"
"Just take it as?" He could sense the hesitation in his out-of-body state, but the fact that Hao Ran's disciples were flocking to him was not necessarily a good thing.
Then he hesitated, "This is... an apprentice level, isn't it?"
“Many years ago,” Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, “the things I did were also related to this ancestor.”
Senior Heng was attracted by Master Qing's token, is that alright?
He only said "there is cause and effect," but didn't say how deep the cause and effect was.
"Tsk," the cultivator hesitated again, then finally made up his mind, "Fellow Daoist, what is your relationship with the Haoran Sect?"
Qu Jianlei remained silent. What could he say...? I haven't even joined yet, but I've tried to defect from Haoran many times?
"Never mind, you can come in," the man said, no longer asking any questions.
If the other party said a few words, he could at least verify their authenticity, but they didn't reply...
Considering that the other party had successfully overthrown the Great Ruler and even dared to come to settle the score, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
Qu Jianlei let out a soft breath and pointed to his shoulder, "This Great Khan..."
“Let’s go in together,” the out-of-body consciousness didn’t bother with it anymore, “but Lian Xing and the other two will have to make do and wait here.”
"Yes, this is my decision. Please don't make a scene after you enter the realm, okay?"
Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "I never provoke trouble."
"That's good," he replied casually as he left his body. "Go into the passage. It's routine for the Spirit Lord to check you. Don't resist."
"Spirit Lord?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback. What kind of realm was this?
Chu Qiu didn't answer, but Bai Qiao spoke up, "A being like a World Envoy... coming uninvited, this is the treatment they get."
"I understand," Qu Jianlei nodded, thinking to himself that the young lady probably entered the ritual artifact to avoid this hurdle.
He had been wondering for a while that the Celestial Mirror seemed to be avoiding the Taiyuan Sea.
Now it seems that the relationship between these artifact spirits... is also somewhat interesting.
However, there is a powerful ruler on either side. Since the young lady chose to give way, she must be confident, right?
The group entered the passage one by one, and after only four or five breaths, a faint fluctuation of divine sense swept over them.
You really wouldn't notice it if you didn't pay close attention.
Qu Jianlei thought of the security checks on Blue Star. Fortunately, he had specially added several layers of seals to the Dao Stele this time.
Security checks are quick in China, and not slow here either, but the next moment, a soft hum sounded, "Hmm?"
The divine sense swept over again, this time targeting Qu Zhenzun alone.
Qu Jianlei's mind stirred, and the Creation Compass slowly emerged from between his eyebrows. "When I entered the formation, I did not use this object to sense things."
Regardless of what the other party has found out, let's use this treasure as a way to appease them for now.
However, in his understanding, security checks on the mystical side couldn't possibly be like X-ray scanning of concrete objects—that's an insult to the Great Khan.
Therefore, what the other party perceives should be some kind of aura or cause and effect of a potential threat.
As expected, the spiritual fluctuations left, and a faint light appeared ahead, indicating that some restrictions had been deactivated.
The spirit lord only let out a soft hum from beginning to end, perhaps because he was getting tired of the same old work day after day.
Song Yue'er felt a pang of emotion, "I always thought the Great King was elusive and extremely mysterious, but now..."
Before encountering Qu Zhenzun, she never imagined that she would meet a Zhenjun a few times in her life.
Now, the one in charge of the inspection is the Grand Prince, and even she herself is pondering how to break through to the Divine Realm.
It is clear that making friends is very important in life.
Baiqiao, worried that she might say something indecent, calmly replied, "After all, this is the Bell Spirit Realm."
The passage wasn't long, and they soon emerged into a vast world brimming with spiritual energy.
Even without approaching the plate, one can feel a remarkably rich spiritual energy in the empty boundary space.
The concentration of spiritual energy there is comparable to that of ordinary people living in the Cangwu Realm.
It's not enough for Qi Refining cultivators to practice in, but the problem is that this is a vast and boundless space, not a specific section.
And the concentration of spiritual energy on those plates... I dare not even imagine.
Even the well-informed Han Wei Zhenzun couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the Zhongling Realm."
"Let's leave the passageway first," Song Yue'er suggested. "There's probably nothing worth exploring in the surrounding area."
The group broke through the space and traveled forward, emerging two days later, but they did not go for a stroll.
Kan Shui Zhenjun looked into the location again and determined that it would take six to seven days.
"Is Zhongling this big?" Jin Ge looked at Bai Qiao. "Is there a time difference involved?"
“It’s spatial distortion,” came the answer from Kan Shui, which had a considerable say on the matter.
"You just can't feel it, so... it's not a problem to think it's big."
Although they had pinpointed the location, the group did not choose to go directly there.
Six days later, they arrived at a region called "Diecui," which was only half a day's journey away.
This section has six fifth-order spiritual veins, but also nine Nascent Soul True Venerables.
The landing went exceptionally smoothly.
Upon seeing nine True Venerables suddenly appear, three of the local True Venerables sensed them briefly, but then ignored them.
Of the remaining six True Venerables, three are likely in seclusion, while the other three are preoccupied with something else.
These people remained completely indifferent to the sudden appearance of such a powerful force!
No one even asked them where they came from or what they were doing.
The Diecui Plate covers an area of over one billion square kilometers, but has a population of less than three hundred million, making it truly a vast and sparsely populated area.
There are more than ten large sacred mountains and blessed lands, but these places are relatively sparsely populated and should all be owned.
Human settlements are relatively concentrated, but much of the land is unclaimed and occupied by spirit birds and beasts.
Since the local True Venerables did not react, the nine people released their divine senses to sense their surroundings after landing.
Some of the True Ones reacted, indicating "there are people here," clearly showing their disapproval of the unfamiliar divine senses.
However, there was no stronger response; it felt like a natural rejection of "keeping to themselves."
Many True Venerables didn't even react, probably because they sensed that the Venerables were just probing and didn't bother to deal with them.
This made Qu Jianlei, who had come a long way through bloodshed and turmoil, feel somewhat unaccustomed to it. "So lazy?"
Kan Shui Zhenjun, who loves to show off, did not answer this time.
It was Baiqiao who spoke up, "The idea of a fairyland doesn't come from nowhere; everyone finds their own place in it."
It really does have the feel of a paradise on earth. Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling that it was like a small country with few people, where people never interacted with each other.
Song Yue'er spoke up, "Let's find the biggest market, take a stroll around, and ask around for some information while we're at it."
She advised against loitering at the entrance, but changed her mind when she came here.
In most parts of the world, transportation hubs are always rife with all sorts of troubles.
There may be just as much trouble elsewhere, but there will definitely be plenty of trouble at the entrance to the passageway.
Song Zhenzun grew up in the lower class and has a deep understanding of this phenomenon.
On the Diecui Plate, there are indeed three relatively large human settlements, each with a population of tens of millions.
However, these settlements are similar to large clusters of villages, covering an area of over one million square kilometers.
