Chapter 2739 The child is still young
Just as Qi Si Zhenzun was fleeing for his life, Han Li's divine sense also reached Qu Jianlei's mind, "How many breaths can you hold your breath?"
The compass of creation between his brows slowly turned, and Qu Jianlei silently replied, "Twenty or thirty breaths is always achievable."
Upon hearing this, Han Li didn't hesitate and raised her hand, sending out a white beam of light. "This... I don't have much left either."
What he used was none other than the Extreme Golden Flame he had used in his previous battle against Lord Yuji.
This treasure can burn anything, and its penetrating power is extremely sharp. Even if the opponent is partially immune, it can still cause considerable damage.
However, the key factor is duration; if the duration is short, even the strongest attack will not cause much damage.
The phantom of True Lord Jiayao rapidly shrank; he had already sensed that this white light posed a great threat to him.
However, under the tearing force of time, let alone escaping, even shrinking is not easy.
Almost instantly, his body was split into pieces, but they were still connected to each other.
The spider was clearly a little frightened when it saw the white light.
But it still stretched out its forelimbs and firmly hugged a huge little finger before quickly retreating.
The next moment, the white light struck Jia Yao Zhenjun's body and quickly burst into flames.
"Ahhhhhh!" The fat man let out a violent scream, his whole body trembling violently!
"Alas..." A soft sigh came, and a giant hand stretched out from the space.
The giant hand, exceeding 100,000 kilometers in length, reached towards the burning fat man. "Fellow Daoist, please stop!"
Xiao You raised her hand and flicked it, and a blue lotus flower appeared in front of the giant hand, slowly blooming.
Immediately afterwards, a giant axe suddenly appeared in the air and slashed fiercely at the giant hand, shouting, "Don't interfere!"
"Damn it..." Upon seeing this, the clone of True Venerable Qisi immediately collapsed and dissipated, "It has nothing to do with me!"
How many kings are fighting like this? Is it something I can watch?
"Taiyuan?" The giant hand recognized the aura emanating from the giant axe. "Stop! It's me, Jiuping!"
As they were speaking, the giant hand and the giant axe collided, causing the entire space to tremble violently.
"Everyone, hold on!" The young lady's divine sense sent out the next moment, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."
Han Li raised his hand and withdrew the Extreme Golden Flame.
He examined the white ball of light in his hand, smacked his lips, and said, "Tsk, it's gotten thinner!"
Xiao You also withdrew the blue lotus flower, and sighed as well, "Alas, it's much smaller now. I'm ashamed to face my master."
Qu Jianlei's eyes lost their light, and his face turned deathly pale instantly. "I'm exhausted."
The spider, clutching its enormous little finger, gnawed at it as it desperately fled into the distance, shouting, "No way!"
The giant axe returned to Qu Jianlei's body, and the young lady spoke leisurely, "Give me an explanation."
The space rippled, revealing a middle-aged man with a gaunt face.
He raised his hand and gathered up the scattered fat man. "Taiyuan, the last time we met was five thousand years ago."
"You've lost weight!" The young woman was unusually serious for a moment, but then added, "But we don't have much to reminisce about."
"Tsk," the middle-aged man raised his hand to touch his forehead and sighed softly, "This brat, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly."
Sure enough... Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, Journey to the West really did not lie to me!
“There’s no point in talking about this,” the white mist sent out its divine sense. “We’ve already reported it.”
It had already discerned the other party's origins; he was none other than the Great Ruler of the Daizhu Plate. "You have to give me an explanation."
“This… the child is still young,” True Monarch Jiuping said with difficulty, “and a little willful. I apologize to everyone!”
"Well, we're here now," the Spider Lord sent out his divine sense from a great distance, which was quite... fitting for the occasion.
It's not surprising that Kan Shui Zhenjun saw through Jia Yao Zhenjun's background before he even saw Jiu Ping's identity.
"I'm a little confused. Fellow Daoist, what will you do after your lifespan ends if you cultivate a sixth-order spiritual vein like this?"
"Holy crap, this is a sixth-order spiritual vein..." Upon hearing this, the many True Venerables finally realized.
So, the entity we're fighting against is this kind of being?
No wonder the Spider King was clinging to his little finger, refusing to let go no matter what.
No wonder he's still a child despite having reached the cultivation level of a True Lord—theoretically speaking, that's indeed the case.
To deal with such beings, the power of birth and death is extremely effective, and the Supreme Golden Flame is even stronger than other methods.
The latter can cause effective damage, but the former is even more terrifying—it can obliterate the mind of a sixth-order spiritual vein!
Qu Jianlei is merely a True Venerable; his birth and death will not have a significant impact on the body of a sixth-order spiritual vein. However, True Monarch Jiayao... is a different story.
"After the end of my life... I'll leave my fate to it," said the Nine Screens True Lord calmly. This nonchalant attitude was indeed in line with the Great Lord's mindset.
"Isn't this also meant to teach it a lesson?"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, and no one responded, though some people kept muttering to themselves.
"I've lost weight," "Alas, I've let my master down," "This is the second time in my life I've felt completely exhausted"...
Seeing this, Nine Screen True Lord couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Damn it, you guys are ganging up on each other and you still think you're right?
But there's nothing I can do; I can't bring myself to say it!
Extreme Golden Flame, Azure Lotus, Primordial Sea, this white mist... all are at least on the same level as him.
He couldn't even care about that spider stealing a wisp of spiritual energy—the other party's background and karma were far greater!
And this guy, his left eye is time, his right eye is birth and death—what kind of power cultivated this guy?
If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn't have let the little guy get involved in this mess.
In fact, he had paid close attention to this team and discovered that they had an Outer Realm True Monarch accompanying them.
Regarding the spider... it wasn't actually a true deity, but rather someone who became a god through incense offerings, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
However, since he had come to settle the karmic debt with the Great Lord, and the other party was being hesitant and evasive in front of Wusheng, he didn't want to ask any more questions.
Anyway, the other party was quite sensible, first taking the initiative to report it, and then expressing gratitude afterward—he really couldn't find anything to complain about.
However, the sixth-order spiritual vein couldn't stand it any longer: since they came to do business, they should at least make things clear, right?
Brother Jiuping, you're very magnanimous, but I have to save face for you, don't I?
Nine Screens True Lord knew that this child had only been born with intelligence for less than a thousand years and was not a human being... so learning human relationships and social customs would be very slow.
He was somewhat relieved that the child knew how to protect himself, so... well, go and see the world.
But little did he know that the team of cultivators from another region would actually be such a ruthless bunch.
Now that things have come to this, he can only try to appease the other party's anger first. "This child calls himself Jiayao. What is the reason for this?"
"He enjoys fine wine and food, and since he has developed some intelligence, he has a particular fondness for it... which is how he met Qisi."
“I haven’t been too lenient with him. The battle between Qi Si and Zi Jing has been going on for years, and he hasn’t participated!”
Ultimately... he just wanted to prove Jiu Ping's brother right!
"I'm sorry to bother you, senior. You only said your own family was innocent," Song Yue'er couldn't help but say.
She's obsessed with money, and the thing is, isn't this the kind of person the Great Khan has seen a lot of lately?
"But if the responsibility for this whole mess doesn't lie with him, then is it with us?"
"Hmm?" True Monarch Jiuping released his divine sense to briefly perceive the situation: Is there another troublemaker hiding here?
However, it's a bit strange, it seems... I can't sense anything particularly remarkable about it?
However, with the lessons of the past right before his eyes, he really didn't dare to act rashly... These cultivators from beyond the realm were extremely cunning!
He could only cough lightly, "May I ask... what is your background, young friend?"
"Your Majesty, I am of ordinary birth," Song Yue'er replied respectfully, without being impolite.
Haha, I don't believe you for a second! Lord Jiuping would never take it seriously.
That guy with two eyes and two supernatural powers, wasn't he very polite to Wusheng back then?
These cultivators from outside the realm are all very cunning, far less honest and simple than the cultivators of Zhongling!
He sighed softly, "Young friend, if you truly come from an ordinary background, do you know that my explanation... has already shown more than enough sincerity?"
“Your Majesty,” Song Yue’er replied respectfully, “I was fortunate enough to participate in the previous war against Your Majesty!”
“Rebel…? Fight?” Nine Screen True Monarch was completely speechless. What kind of talk was this? Wasn’t it said that an elder would step in?
However, the strength of this group... is indeed enough to rebel against the Great Ruler.
However, he still wanted to maintain his dignity, saying, "I have already explained the cause and effect, and I also have a small token of my appreciation."
"I'll give each of you a set of Five Elements Origin materials as a gift for our meeting."
He didn't offer an apology, only a gift for our meeting—a set of Five Elements Origin Essence, isn't that enough?
These things are nothing in the Bell Spirit Realm, but in other worlds... it's easy for the five elements to become unbalanced.
Seven complete sets of the Five Elements Origin are actually quite a feat.
"Jiuping, you're still so stingy and miserly," the young lady couldn't help but say. "Are you trying to appease a beggar?"
“Taiyuan, that’s enough,” Jiuping said, displeased.
For some reason, he felt that dealing with Taiyuanhai was less stressful.
At least he dared to argue directly, "There are some things I don't want to take seriously... Shouldn't we point out specific people to settle the karmic debts of the True Lord?"
“Well, senior,” Qu Jianlei had to step forward, as he had been unwilling to say it at the time, “I was thinking of you, senior.”
"Heh, thinking of me," Jiu Ping chuckled dismissively, but the smile froze on his face the next moment.
"Who is it? Anyway, there's no one around right now."
"That's foolish," the young woman scoffed. "It's rare for a junior to think of you, and you're already finding fault?"
"Foolish machine? That's not lifespan..." Jiu Ping was first stunned, then gasped.
Is your rebellious ruler some old man nearing the end of his life?
Then he finally came to his senses and nodded in realization.
"If it's him, then it really is... better not to reveal his name!"
Xiao You found this strange and quietly asked Han Wei, "Third Brother, what does this mean?"
“The Foolish Machine is infamous, yet it hides in the Daizhu section,” Han Weizhenzun quietly replied.
"This person in charge of Daizhu, what do you think his reaction should be upon hearing the report from True Venerable Wusheng?"
"Understood," Xiaoyou nodded.
