Chapter 2773 Our Monopoly
The ability to communicate with the outside world in real time during this compression process is incredibly convenient.
As can be inferred from the Möbius strip, its unique channel formation makes spatial compression more difficult.
What he most wanted to know was what exactly happened inside—why was I a low-level monster, but you guys managed to escape?
Han Li suddenly realized, "No wonder it collapsed so quickly, it turns out there was external force involved!"
"Senior, I almost lost my shoes while running!"
"Get to the point," the powerful divine sense said anxiously, "I feel that Xiao Qu... really does have some kind of good fortune?"
Qu Jianlei spoke up again, explaining most of what had happened inside.
Aside from the feedback of life, everything else has been said—this is something that really cannot be said.
While Han Li was worried about attracting the covetousness of others, he was also concerned that this senior might suffer a collapse of his Dao heart as a result!
In any case, it's generally agreed that great opportunities should be kept secret.
"War shaman corpse...or a great shaman?" The Möbius strip remained silent for a long time before asking again, "What kind of weapon did they use?"
"I've put it away, and it's inconvenient to say it directly," the young lady said boldly, "but it's also at the Great Lord level."
"I know, it's probably another Crystal Ancestor." With his profound divine sense, he was incredibly wise and made a pretty accurate guess right away.
However, the term "Crystal Ancestor" might just be a metaphor—since it's a True Monarch-level weapon, it's normal for it to have a weapon spirit.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, he clearly doesn't care about it. He has no connection with Jingzu and doesn't need similar weapons.
What he was concerned about was, "How could such a combination fall together? Then why is it only a mediocre defeat for me?"
Taiyuan sent a divine sense message, and then fell silent.
After a long silence, he sighed softly again, "I used to be unconvinced by the War Witch's fighting spirit, but now... he's really gone mad!"
Ultimately, however, the relationship between cultivators and the witch clan is generally not that close, so they don't necessarily develop much empathy for each other.
He then frankly admitted, "Luckily I didn't go in, otherwise I might have been affected..."
"By the way, after seeing the War Wizard off, you didn't get any benefits?"
He asked "you," but his divine sense was focused only on Qu Zhenzun—the vitality emanating from him was simply too abundant.
“There are some benefits,” Qu Jianlei frankly admitted, “I gained some memories, and mainly figured out some things.”
Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced at him, seemingly unintentionally—he even gained the memories? When it comes to keeping things to himself, I admire you above all others!
However, the Möbius strip places the most emphasis on this: "Regarding higher dimensions?"
“Hmm,” Qu Jianlei nodded, “but I need to process this first, and I might not be able to say it out loud.”
"Whether I tell you or not is not important," the powerful divine sense's curiosity was satisfied, and he relaxed considerably.
"Anything that helps save Tianqing is a good thing."
"Yes, it exists, but it's hard to say how useful it is," Qu Jianlei said with a wry smile.
"What that senior couldn't forget was... well, never mind, I can't say."
“I know even without you saying it,” the Möbius strip truly lived up to its reputation as a great ruler who had lived for so long; it saw things very clearly.
"War shamans are all stubborn. He's probably thinking about how to break through the higher-dimensional barrier a second time, right?"
"If I really obtained this memory, I would be more than just a low-to-medium-level ferocious beast!"
No one responded to this, but everyone could understand the sense of bewilderment and helplessness one feels when the path of cultivation comes to an end.
"I need to organize my findings," Qu Jianlei said solemnly. "Let's slow down the pace in the near future."
“No problem,” the Möbius strip replied without hesitation, adding that he and Prince Boping were the main operators and could guarantee real-time communication.
Qu Jianlei's digestion process lasted for almost a month before it finally stopped.
Then he took out his small axe, nodded at the Möbius strip, and said, "We can speed things up now."
"The ritual implements have agreed to participate?" The powerful divine sense asked casually, without giving it much thought.
Then it was fast forward; two months later, Qu Jianlei condensed the first trace of vitality.
Only a sliver of his profound divine sense remained, but Han Li was still there, though he was also doing his best to resist the compressing force.
So much so that they didn't even notice immediately that Qu Zhenzun had reopened.
It was only when Qu Jianlei transformed the third life force that he felt the attention from the outside world.
“Senior, your divine sense can leave now,” he said, issuing a dismissal order. “Continuing to sense it will not be good for you!”
“Sigh, I know it’s not good,” the Möbius strip sighed, “but I just can’t help it.”
"No wonder this quiet area is a medium to low danger zone for me... Thank you for the reminder, young friend."
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, "I'm glad you don't find me offensive, senior."
"I'm not so dense as to be unable to tell good from bad. This is a test of my Dao heart. Alright, I'm leaving!"
Han Li only noticed Qu Jianlei's methods when he was transforming the sixth path. "Huh? It's starting already?"
"Take care of yourself first," Qu Jianlei said calmly. "You're just a messenger, don't overthink it."
“We’ll have a monopoly,” the handsome young man said, trembling—not because he was excited, but because the pressure was too great.
"I must learn it. In the future, the entire cultivation world will only have the life force produced by the two of us!"
"Straighten your tongue before you speak," Qu Jianlei said casually. "You're always worrying about nothing."
He also wanted to escape the fate of being a tool, but he was unwilling to let others benefit from it.
After much thought, I have to admit that Han Li is the most suitable bystander—mainly because Jing Yuexin hasn't come out of seclusion yet, has she?
"You seem to be concerned about Houde again?" the handsome young man suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but replied calmly, "Straighten your tongue first!"
However, a slight doubt arose in his mind: telepathy... does this mean there are Buddhist practitioners?
Han Li stopped speaking and focused on resisting the external pressure.
As Qu Jianlei was converting the twenty-eighth life force, a divine sense emanated from the axe, saying, "It's done."
"We can handle this and expedite it. Is a two-thirds handling fee acceptable?"
"Of course!" Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Four-fifths, to absorb more high-dimensional energy."
Activating the ritual artifacts comes at a price; the heroic spirits will also incur costs, but the conversion efficiency will be greatly improved.
He doesn't have to do anything and just collect 20% of the tax. Isn't that great?
Of course, besides that, he and his obsessive friends had many more agreements.
“We don’t need that many,” the divine sense replied. “Ritual artifacts don’t value life force; two-thirds is enough.”
"Then it's settled for the three-quarters," Qu Jianlei said decisively. "We're all True Venerables, so don't try to bully the weak!"
Then he glanced at the handsome young man and asked, "Are you... able to speak clearly?"
"The pressure from outside is constantly increasing!" Han Li said through gritted teeth. "Last time, is this how you managed to get through it?"
"What else?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes. "After it was over, I didn't dare to go out and took five years to recover!"
"I can do that too!" The handsome young man's lips twitched. "Don't talk to me."
"This is nothing!" Qu Jianlei shook his head. "If you can't hold on, go out and tell them... speed up!"
“You had the Spider Lord deliver a message,” Han Li said, still unwilling to admit defeat, “If you really can’t stand it, I’ll go out myself.”
"Whatever you want," Qu Jianlei could roughly guess what the handsome young man was thinking.
His thoughts couldn't be hidden from Han Li, but Han Li's thoughts couldn't be hidden from him either. Wasn't he just trying to get distracted first?
The eagerness to be first is a true reflection of the nature of those who cultivate the Tao; "be careful not to damage your foundation."
This compression was well-balanced; he tested it several times through the connection he established with the small lake and the spider, and the results were excellent.
As the pressure increased rapidly, Han Li became increasingly overwhelmed, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Outside the boundary membrane, Lianxing's Kunxiu Zhenzun glanced at Xiaoyou and said, "It was Spider Lord who informed me of the acceleration."
“Yes,” Xiaoyou nodded calmly, “Qu Zhenzun tested it.”
“We can’t get any more information from that person,” Kunxiu glanced at Hanli’s clone not far away, “but he’s still inside.”
“They are Daoist partners,” Xiaoyou said, her face still expressionless. “There will be no danger.”
“But… there is a path for the soul to be divided, as you said, Fellow Daoist,” Kunxiu said solemnly, “Fellow Daoist, you should be inside as well.”
"Hehe, is it that rare?" Xiaoyou chuckled. "I really don't care much, maybe you don't believe me."
"I'd be a fool to believe that!" Kunxiu Zhenzun nodded. "Your family is very wealthy and powerful, but you should still try harder next time."
I really want to try this time! Xiao You smiled faintly, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. Let's try together next time."
At the same time, the small axe in Qu Jianlei's hand began to slowly rise into the air and grow to the size of a person.
The increase wasn't significant, partly due to external pressure and partly because it was a recent attempt and there wasn't much experience.
The first life force element took the axe nearly four days to capture and was carefully passed on to Qu Zhenzun.
"It's true that it looks easy but is difficult to do. But once you've done the first one, you won't have to worry about the rest."
As agreed, the ritual artifact would capture four life-giving elements, giving one to Qu Jianlei and keeping the other three for himself.
Since it is used for absorption, it does not need to be transformed into vital energy or into the type required by Qu Zhenzun.
Qu Jianlei will transform this fourth higher-dimensional element on his own; he doesn't need the other party's help.
It's not impossible to make ritual objects, but there's always a price to pay.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to trouble the other party too much. Even if he was collecting taxes, he couldn't just do nothing, could he?
The difficulty of capturing it far outweighs the difficulty of converting it, so he can be content.
As more and more life forms were captured, the ritual vessel grew larger and larger, eventually expanding to over a hundred kilometers in length.
If it gets any bigger, even the giant axe itself will have trouble withstanding it; the pressure from the outside world is also an objective reality.
This length is just right, and due to the increased contact area, the speed at which it captures life elements is also greatly improved.
