Chapter 2768 Unspeakable Heartache
Qu Jianlei's words left even the most reckless person speechless.
After a few moments, Han Li said again, "Okay, take me in with you?"
“You’ve already made enough of a show of yourself,” Qu Jianlei said decisively. “Take a break and put away your magic.”
This refusal was just a polite formality; Han Li knew in her heart that it was simply because she was worried about him taking risks.
In the team that saved the day, who could surpass Qu Zhenzun in terms of popularity?
So everyone watched as the two entered the Skyfall Point.
Qu Jianlei was actually quite uneasy, but he had already come this far and there was no turning back.
He didn't even release any vitality; it took him five days to regain that ethereal state.
Unwilling to give up, he spent another month searching for possible higher-dimensional life-giving elements.
This time, he reached the state without using his stored life force, thinking that there might be an unexpected surprise.
However, as it turns out, there is no such thing as luck in the world, and he still gained nothing.
On this day, Qu Jianlei adjusted his state and glanced at Luo Fu not far away.
Then he nodded slightly, raised his right hand slightly, palm facing inward.
The movement was so subtle that only the bright-eyed girl and the Great King, who exuded an aura of decay, noticed it.
“Tsk,” Bo Ping Zhenjun clicked his tongue lightly, without saying a word.
However, with just this one action, everyone's eyes were drawn to him, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still...
Within the Heavenly Inclination Point, Luo Fu remained silent, quietly releasing a sliver of her aura.
Strictly speaking, it was a hole, pointed at Qu Zhenzun's right hand.
The stench of decay rushed in through the hole and reached the back of his right hand.
It's common sense not to catch it with your palm. If you can't withstand the pressure, your palm will instinctively clench, while the back of your hand will spring back.
Even as a True Venerable, some human instincts can cause extremely subtle disturbances, but Qu Jianlei rejects any accidents.
Fortunately, the impact of the stench of decay was not strong; rather, its penetrating power was extremely exaggerated.
Qu Jianlei's brow twitched slightly, but he accepted it calmly and began to try to transform it.
Half a day later, he released another green light, followed by two, then three...
“This release frequency…” Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow and looked at Han Wei, “What does Third Brother think?”
The two could no longer hide their relationship from others, so they simply admitted it openly.
Han Li couldn't help but prick up her ears when she heard her speak.
“It shouldn’t just be a rejection of Tianqing,” Han Weizhen Venerable pondered, “If I were him…”
"At this point, the first thing to consider is regaining the state of enlightenment, but it is very difficult under the influence of the aura of the Heavenly Inclination."
"Finding enlightenment in dynamic equilibrium," Xiao You nodded slightly, "That makes sense, but it would be very difficult..."
The handsome young man spoke coldly, "The key question is, is there that many opportunities for him to squander?"
He believed that Qu Zhenzun's claim of more than three thousand Daos was true, but even if used in this way, it might not be enough!
Listening to their conversation, Bo Ping Zhenjun remained calm and silent.
Surprisingly, the stick actually sighed, "No wonder it was the True Venerable who came to save the day; even the True Monarch doesn't possess these combined conditions."
The other princes remained silent upon hearing this, and none of them felt it was inappropriate.
His profound divine sense even marveled, "The power of birth and death, the ethereal enlightenment, the tempering of the body through creation and the compass, the keen insight and composure..."
"Each of these conditions is not difficult, but when combined, it is not something that can be achieved simply by having a high level of skill."
"And there's also a junior sister protecting him," Wuchen Zhenjun's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Seniors, you may stop now," Han Li glanced at him coldly, "Heaven and earth are aware of this; beware of prophecies!"
Qu Jianlei changed the environment in which he had his epiphany, and after three more attempts, he finally entered a state of epiphany.
He used up over 800 life force this time, and the onlookers were already numb to it.
It's true that there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
However, everyone can understand such a consumption, because entering enlightenment in dynamic equilibrium is more than just doubling the difficulty.
In the following period, Qu Zhenzun continued to deplete his life force by consuming four to five units of energy per day.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. He didn't stop, and Han Li didn't say a word.
Another six months passed, and he still didn't say a word.
With the year drawing to a close, the handsome young man decided to weaken his body and go into his cave to rest—out of sight, out of mind!
Suddenly, Song Yue'er's divine sense transmitted a message: "It has been going on for four days now, using six life sustenances!"
"This is normal, right... hmm?" Han Li's body suddenly became much more solid. "So... we're almost there?"
Qu Jianlei genuinely didn't expect that his "live broadcast" would bring such a shock to the onlookers.
This potential crisis is somewhat high, but in terms of pressure and urgency, it really can't compare to the Quiet Zone crisis.
Up to now, he has indeed sensed a faint life force, but it seems almost impossible to capture it.
He maintained this state for another month, and during this period, the duration of his ethereal state exceeded one year.
Until one day, he suddenly realized: the lack of vitality was simply due to the timing not being right!
Then he continued for another month, constantly increasing the vitality, trying to draw out the high-dimensional vitality elements of the sky.
His sudden increase in the consumption of life force caused strong emotional fluctuations among the onlookers once again.
This time, however, Qu Jianlei set a deadline for himself, and when the time was up, he decisively followed Luo Fu and left Tianqingdian.
Upon seeing him emerge, several divine senses of the Great Lords swept over him.
“Not bad,” Wuchen Zhenjun was the first to comment, “It was cleaned very well.”
"Two thousand and twenty-six," Song Yue'er reported the precise number, "You really don't have many!"
The others wanted to know the result, but Qu Zhenzun looked... a little tired?
"A brief introduction is fine," the young woman said casually. "Now, let's take a break."
“We’re starting to see some progress,” Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, “but… it’s not enough.”
“That’s a good thing,” Prince Nagahira said without hesitation. “We’re not afraid of not having enough stars, we’re afraid of not having a path!”
If it's not good enough, it's easy to keep trying. But if you fail, there's no point in trying to fix it.
However, no matter how you look at it, there's an unspeakable sadness in those words.
"You should rest first," Han Li said. "What's next?"
Qu Jianlei's body began to blur, "What I'm about to do might trigger the collapse of the heavens ahead of time."
Everyone fell silent. After a while, Bo Ping Zhenjun sighed softly, "Actually... it was only a matter of time."
“It may be unfair to the rest of the world,” Jin Ge said.
According to the disciples of the Sorcerer's Academy, the Sorcerer was extremely cold and ruthless, but he had always possessed a compassionate heart.
"Just inform them," said Wen Shi Zhenjun, who was able to achieve a split-point in Lingyun and also had the vision of a commander.
Jingzu's vision emphasizes nature: "It's better to guide than to block; if we induce it in advance, the destructive power will be much smaller."
However, Qu Jianlei's answer was, "Then this tribulation is like a premature baby... Lianxing's improvement is limited."
"Damn..." More than one person cursed inwardly: Your vision is exceptionally far-sighted!
She Niu Zhenzun even spoke up directly, saying, "Qu Zhenzun has lofty aspirations, which I personally admire very much."
"But do you think... we're qualified to consider this?"
"I was just saying," Qu Jianlei spread his hands, helpless, there was no cure for obsessive-compulsive disorder, "I'll listen to everyone's choices."
Lian Xingkun, the True Venerable Cultivator, sighed softly, "By the time we really wait until that day, True Venerable Qu might already be a Profound Venerable, which would be inconvenient!"
The true collapse of the stars will take at least ten thousand years. By then, how many of those present will still be alive?
However, the Möbius strip considers the question: "If it's triggered in advance, will the world's response be less?"
There's no other way; attempting to merge while distracted requires too much resources, and I'm afraid a little less wouldn't be enough.
Xiao You's words immediately shut him down: "Senior, can you afford to wait any longer?"
This remark immediately created an awkward silence.
Half a day later, it was still the True Lord Lian Xing who spoke up, "Let's trigger it in advance, how's the chance of success?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and gave a wry smile. "How am I supposed to answer this question?"
There was simply no way to answer that, no matter how confident he was.
“In any case, I have witnessed it,” said Wen Shi Zhenjun. “Just tell me how you need to cooperate.”
Unbeknownst to them, everyone present was affected by Qu Jianlei's mindset.
What he's considering now is no longer "how to save the world from collapse," but rather how to maximize his benefits after Lianxing successfully survives his tribulation.
Of course, if the attempt to salvage the situation fails, then there's nothing more to say, but the key point is... he's really starting to consider it!
If someone else said this, everyone would only have one conclusion: This guy is crazy!
However, even if Qu Zhenzun said it, others might have the same thought, but no one dared to openly question it.
The things he did, one by one, are all laid bare before everyone.
Even the most unbelievable things, he accomplished them all, and then asked only three words: "Are you convinced?"
With a series of dazzling displays of skill, they definitively proved their strength—at least they didn't miss a single opportunity.
As the old saying goes, "When the sky is wild, it will rain; when people are wild, disaster will strike." However, Qu Zhenzun was not wild—at least not very wild!
Everyone has seen his communication with the Möbius strip; when it comes to divination, he is always very cautious and careful.
On the battlefield, people love to be subordinates of military geniuses or war gods because they have an aura of invincibility.
The same applies to cultivators: "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens"—that is their belief; "Respecting destiny"—that is their understanding of reverence.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then spoke thoughtfully, "Sufficient vitality can certainly solve everything, but that's unrealistic."
Isn't that obvious? Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but mutter to themselves: Even if there's a chance of survival, you can't cause as much trouble as you do!
“So I need to organize my thoughts,” Qu Jianlei said thoughtfully. “Do you know what my biggest feeling is?”
"Switching the world back from collapse is beyond human control, so sometimes we have to resort to unconventional methods!"
