Upon hearing this, Luo Fu's mouth moved slightly, clearly indicating that she wanted to ask a question, but she ultimately held back.
But Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Do you know the locations of these two worlds?"
Kongyu Zhenjun glanced at him thoughtfully, "Direction... how could they possibly tell me?"
"If you're interested, you can go check out Stardew."
“Star Dew Realm…” Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then shook his head blankly, “I’ve never heard of this realm.”
“It’s a new world,” Kongyu Zhenjun said in a deep voice. “Lord Mi’er knows… Senior Taiyuan can go and ask him.”
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty," Qu Jianlei said respectfully, raising his hand. His previous arrogance was in the past, but now it was in the present.
Don't think it's just a casual remark; the information contained within can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Intelligence shouldn't be free in the first place, and if the Great Khan doesn't want to talk about it, who can force him?
"They're quite sensible..." Kongyu Zhenjun felt a little more comfortable.
But the young woman's voice sounded a little puzzled, "Mi'er... how did you know I know him?"
“More than seventy years ago, I had a discussion with Senior Mi Er, who praised him highly.”
“He praises me highly but doesn’t even visit me,” the young woman said casually. “He’s so hypocritical… I’d rather not go see him.”
Kongyu Zhenjun was speechless for a moment before saying, "It is said that Senior Mi'er previously encountered a calamity in the void..."
“The tribulations are part of his journey,” the young woman said calmly.
But after a few moments she asked, "So he's resting in Zhongling now?"
If a True Monarch suffers ordinary damage, he can be nurtured in a sixth-tier spiritual vein.
However, when faced with tribulations, difficulties in the path, or karmic retribution, spiritual veins alone are not enough; other means must be employed.
If your needs align with the requirements, recuperating in the Spirit Realm is a good option.
“Yes,” Kongyu Zhenjun nodded, “However, it may not be convenient for him to accompany you to the Star Dew Realm.”
"I understand," the young woman replied without hesitation, "You've signed the contract of servitude, haven't you?"
“I don’t know that,” Kongyu Zhenjun quickly shook his head. “As a junior, it’s not appropriate for me to ask.”
The fact that Zhenjun is recuperating in Zhongling will inevitably lead to karmic consequences. If it is for the purpose of seeking refuge, the karmic consequences will be very heavy.
However, such private topics are unlikely to be discussed even between close princes.
What is poison to them is honey to me; what is calamity to them is opportunity to me... The Great Way is never merciless.
"Sigh," the young woman sighed softly, "I'll go see how much longer this guy can live..."
Within the same realm, it's easy for True Venerables to find each other, let alone Great Lords; it's just a matter of whether they're willing or not.
As for whether the young lady left or not, Qu Jianlei and the others couldn't sense it at all—maybe she sent away a wisp of her divine sense.
However, True Monarch Kongyu did not leave. He first raised his hand and beckoned to True Venerable Hei Bai, saying, "Go and complete the formalities."
Baiqiao and Jin Ge followed the two away. He then looked at Qu Jianlei and asked, "Do you plan to stay in Zhongling for a long time?"
"Me?" Qu Jianlei pointed to himself, asking in astonishment, "May I ask, senior, why me?"
"Don't you know it yourself?" Kongyu Zhenjun asked casually.
He didn't wait for a reply. "I don't think your connection with Ling Yun is very deep. Are you interested in considering it?"
Qu Jianlei remained silent for more than ten breaths before replying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I already have a foundation in Houde."
"Houde..." True Monarch Kongyu curled his lip dismissively, "Does Houde give you a sixth-order spiritual vein?"
Xiaoyou's lips twitched slightly, but she ultimately remained silent.
I can nurture it myself! Qu Jianlei didn't want to go too far in refusing the other party's good intentions, so he just gave a wry smile.
"I am now also involved in the cause and effect of the Heavenly Collapse."
"Tianqing...Lianxing?" Upon hearing this, True Monarch Kongyu frowned deeply. "Nonsense! Don't your elders care?"
I need an elder first! Qu Jianlei was slightly dazed—Senior Heng had indeed previously thought I was idle.
However, he couldn't tell others that he was the real person involved, so he just smiled and said, "It's too late to regret it now."
“Tsk, what a pity,” Kong Yu paused for a moment, then sighed, “I was thinking of forming a karmic bond with you.”
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty," Qu Jianlei said, not wanting to discuss the matter any further.
The conversation between the other party and Hyakuhashi just now has clearly demonstrated that this lord is quite shrewd.
Since the Great Lord wasn't leaving, he changed the subject, "What was the name of that Senior Haoran from eight hundred years ago?"
“I don’t know,” Kongyu Zhenjun answered simply. “I don’t need to consult divination… How did you end up with Kan Shui?”
“Huh, I thought it was well hidden,” Qu Jianlei said in surprise, then smiled again.
“A great prince lured us to Yuxiu, intending to incite war between the two sides, which is why we encountered him.”
"Great Lord...sowing discord?" True Lord Kongyu pursed his lips. Do you think these two words together are suitable to be used to describe you?
However, considering the composition of the opposing team, he had to admit that it was indeed worth the Grand Prince setting up a trap for them.
He scoffed, "That Kan Shui guy has no brains... what a waste of its illusory beauty!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you also a follower of the Great Dao of Water?"
“Where does the Great Dao come from in the Water Element? It’s reached its end,” Kong Yu seemed not to regard the other party as a True Venerable. “We can only consider the Five Elements or Yin and Yang.”
Qu Jianlei nodded in sudden realization, "No wonder, it wants to switch to the fire element..."
"If it were human, it would have gone mad from its cultivation long ago," Kong Yu said dismissively, "I've never seen anything so reckless..."
"Hmm, how did you know I'm a water elementalist?"
"I guess it's the Great Lord's name," Qu Jianlei replied casually, then asked, "Wu Xing can only reach the Xuanzun level, right?"
“The Five Elements are not considered high-dimensional,” Kong Yu said, genuinely interested in the conversation. “Your aura of creation… is quite remarkable.”
Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for quite a while, until finally, the Great King sighed softly.
"If only you hadn't gone to Lianxing... Tianqing is such a scourge."
It's clear that he genuinely admires Qu Jianlei. Whether he has other motives is hard to say, but there's a fair amount of pure admiration involved.
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Senior, I have a friend who is trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and is on the path of Nirvana. Do you have any suggestions?"
Water and fire are incompatible, but this person has reached the end of the path of water, so perhaps there are other ideas.
Han Li and Xiao You exchanged a glance unconsciously: Talking to the Great Lord and asking about the matter of leaving one's body... what makes that person so capable?
“Water and fire are inherently merciless,” Kongyu Zhenjun replied casually, “but I do have some ideas…”
"However, that could drastically change one's temperament."
“That’s fine,” Qu Jianlei said readily. “As long as I can leave my body, that’s good.”
"Figure it out yourself," Kongyu Zhenjun tossed out a jade talisman. "If he leaves his body, let me know."
"Thank you very much, senior," Qu Jianlei said, bowing deeply with utmost respect.
"I was just testing my approach," Kongyu Zhenjun waved his hand, "Don't blame me if it fails!"
"Even if we fail, we will inform our seniors!" Qu Jianlei replied solemnly. "It is an honor for my friend to try and fail for her seniors!"
There is no such thing as a free lunch. He did not believe that the other party's immature ideas were necessarily harmful.
In other words, do others deserve to be harmed like this by the Great Khan?
Ultimately, having a new idea is something to be cherished; whether he can deduce anything from it is his own business.
Just now, he spoke up for Baiqiao because Baiqiao was capable of standing on his own. Otherwise, why would he be so foolish as to provoke the Great Khan?
Moreover, Qu Jianlei was somewhat confident in his calculations.
"What honor or not," Kongyu Zhenjun waved his hand, "Give me a copy of your insights on creation... in exchange!"
Even the True Venerable said that there was no way to divide one's spirit, but for the True Lord, the path to merging was even more perplexing!
As the "new True Lord," it is time for him to fill in the gaps in his understanding.
Feeling a bit embarrassed to ask someone who has left their body for guidance while distracted? Nonsense, anyone who isn't blind can see the other person's profound understanding of creation.
Qu Jianlei had not prepared any similar jade slips, so he had to make one on the spot.
While waiting, True Lord Kongyu raised his hand and sent a stream of water essence to each person, saying, "Those who see it will receive a share."
As expected of the Great Ruler, sending out a wisp of essence is as casual as offering a cigarette.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty," the Seven True Venerables hurriedly accepted the gift.
"Just now, they were shouting for battle," Kongyu Zhenjun smiled nonchalantly, "and more than one of them had murderous intentions."
"But have you ever killed the Great Khan?"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. After a while, Xiao You replied, "Wouldn't you consider someone like Yu Ji, a heretical cultivator, to be considered one?"
The cause and effect between the Great Lords are intricate and complex. Without considering the details, she first labeled him as an "evil cultivator".
"Foolish Machine?" Upon hearing this, True Monarch Kongyu's lips twitched. "You really killed him?"
Yu Ji wasn't a very well-known person, but thanks to his distraction, he had brushed up on his knowledge and had heard of him to some extent.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent again, he smiled and said, "As expected, heroes have always emerged from among the young. Who would want to stay in Zhongling?"
For True Lord Kongyu, the chances of personally recruiting True Venerables were extremely rare, let alone recruiting them on such a large scale.
A household registration in the Bell Spirit Realm... that kind of status is extremely rare.
However, the seven True Venerables present each had their own backgrounds, and even Song Yue'er had a fifth-order spiritual vein in Houde.
Isn't it better to be revered and treated like an ancestor in a remote and impoverished place? Why come to Zhongling and live as a dependent?
Of the seven, Han Wei was the only one who was somewhat interested, but how could he let Xiao You lose face?
Han Li chuckled dryly, "To be honest, Your Majesty, we are all involved in the cause and effect of the Heavenly Collapse."
“That’s right!” True Venerable Yue Ran nodded vigorously immediately. This is what you said... the cause and effect have been formed!
"They're all from Tianqing?" Kongyu Zhenjun was taken aback again. He valued these people because the True Venerable had successfully overthrown the Great Monarch!
This experience is truly amazing. He himself is a True Lord, how could he not understand the difficulty involved?
Moreover, he knew that although Yu Ji was a cunning and secretive guy with a bad reputation, his strength was definitely not lacking!
He glared at Luo Fu fiercely and said irritably, "Who is your master? Is he really just going to let you run wild like this?"
