Chapter 2808 Rejection and Achievement (First update to celebrate the adorable author "xm71501")
In the technology sector, there's a concept of "associated resources," such as minerals, which mainly refers to the fact that a certain substance is difficult to exist independently.
The concept of epiphyte is similar; specifically, it means that this thing cannot exist independently and must depend on something to manifest its existence.
It's somewhat similar to the way Empire observes dark energy or dark matter.
The empire's technological level is so advanced that it cannot be directly observed; its existence can only be determined through certain phenomena.
While the technology sector can create antimatter weapons, it falls short in its ability to preserve dark matter.
Jing Yuexin is also very familiar with this theory, which is why she was able to give such advice.
Qu Jianlei naturally understood as well, "Enhance the power of time?"
He couldn't preserve time in any way, but he didn't want to miss it in vain, so it was as if... he could only possess it.
If he can effectively enhance his time manipulation abilities, it will prove from another perspective that he has successfully extracted the element of time.
It's not that I necessarily want to show off to others, but the key is that this kind of opportunity is really rare, and if I miss it, wouldn't it be a waste?
“That might not even be possible,” said Boss Jing, who truly lived up to his reputation as a comrade-in-arms who had grown up alongside him.
Given Qu Zhenzun's current status and influence, no other Zhenzun in the entire cultivation world would dare to speak to him like that.
But she dared to say, "You should try it first. It doesn't matter if you fail. It's definitely not easy."
“Alright then,” Qu Jianlei was actually a person who was willing to listen to advice, provided that what the other party said made sense.
On the other hand, directly capturing high-dimensional time elements to enhance one's own time-related abilities seems... quite a challenge.
As he tried, he exclaimed, "I'm a little curious, can the Great Khan do this?"
“I believe you can,” Jing Yuexin said decisively. “Just because the Great Khan can’t do it, does that mean the True Lord can’t?”
"I've learned a lot!" Qu Jianlei stopped talking and focused on capturing the element of time.
It must be admitted that a prodigy is a prodigy.
Even if the opponent's exit from the body was a little late, their indomitable spirit and confidence were something no one could even imagine.
Qu Zhenzun kept trying, while the other two female cultivators were rather idle.
It's not that things are completely relaxed; we still need to be on guard. But if nothing unexpected happens, then everything will be fine.
Luo Fu doesn't like to ask questions because there's too much she doesn't understand. But now that she's free, she can't help but ask.
"Boss Jing, is it difficult for you to absorb the Time Element?"
"At least he's better than Xiaoyou," Jing Yuexin replied calmly. "It doesn't matter if he can't absorb it. Does Haoran always succeed in what he does?"
"Brother Jing, please don't say that," Luo Fu hurriedly waved her hand, "I followed my senior brother, and I haven't even entered Hao Ran's sect yet."
She was a seasoned True Venerable, yet she addressed him as Boss Jing at every turn. Jing Yuexin couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, he'll definitely guide you into the sect."
"The uncertainty right now is, when will this volatility stop?"
This is indeed an unsolved mystery. The fluctuation was caused by Xiaoyou, but she left long ago.
When Han Li left, he pulled off a big move, forcing Qu Jianlei to forcibly draw aggro.
The source of the trouble has disappeared, but how long will the cause and effect created by human intervention last?
"Hmm?" The next moment, Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, snorted softly, and moved to the side of the Dao stele.
He was originally more than 200 kilometers away from the Dao stele—because if he got any closer, it would be difficult for Luo Fu to release her aura.
With this flash, he broke free from Luo Fu's aura and was only about one kilometer away from the Dao stele.
Jing Yuexin and Luo Fu exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes—what had happened?
However, no matter what happened, since the boss hadn't spoken, the two could only watch quietly.
Fortunately, half a minute later, Qu Jianlei gestured to the two of them—wait a moment!
After a long while, he slowly exhaled and transmitted his divine sense, "What powerful time element!"
It turned out that after failing to catch it several times, he couldn't help but use a little force—just a tiny bit.
As a result, the element of time dissipated directly within his body, and at the same time, a strong, inexplicable threat instantly surged into his mind.
It was indeed too much of a stretch! Qu Jianlei had anticipated this possibility before he decided to try to exert his full strength.
Even so, he was still a little surprised that the element of time was so sensitive.
Regardless, the change had already occurred, and he had no time to offer any explanation before instantly flashing to the side of the stele.
Only after completing this action did he realize the impact of the dissipation of the time element within his body.
The main issue is... the difference in time!
Not only is the sudden change in speed very strange, but more importantly, it affects his entire body.
In addition to the severe confusion in the perception of time, it also carries a strong sense of distortion and tearing.
The feeling was that he and Xiaoyou were working together, using the power of time to deal with someone, and they even managed to coordinate their attacks...
As the saying goes, karma is a cycle, and this turn of events can be seen as another kind of "every bite and every sip is preordained".
However, at this moment, Qu Jianlei couldn't afford to dwell on his feelings; resolving the crisis as quickly as possible was the right thing to do.
He's the kind of person who thinks ten steps ahead before taking a step, and he's planned out contingency plans in case of any unexpected events.
His first choice was to try to suppress it—if there was even the slightest sign of something amiss, he would immediately begin to drive them away!
Collecting time elements is not easy, but with the help of the Dao Stele, expelling the time aura from the body should not be too difficult.
The suppression actually worked! However, the related discomfort was only reduced slightly.
But since it worked, things were much easier, and he began to try to adjust his state.
In situations of severe perceptual confusion, this operation becomes exceptionally difficult.
However, what Qu Jianlei values most is that the risk is not too high. In that case, why not take a chance?
After giving the "all is well" sign, he gradually adjusted his state, and it took him half a day to barely regain normal perception.
At this point, he sighed and continued to adjust, spending a long time getting his body back to near normal.
At this point, he didn't want to wait any longer and began to try to absorb the time energy that was dissipating throughout his body.
These fragments left after the elements of time dissipate are extremely fine and would normally be almost impossible to perceive.
Thanks to his efforts and adjustments over the past few days, his perception has improved somewhat throughout the process.
It took him quite a while to absorb and digest these fragments... He wasn't sure exactly how long.
Ensuring complete absorption is simple; once the repulsive force of the Dao Stele disappears, it's done.
Then he turned to look at the two of them and asked, "How much time has passed?"
"Twelve and a half days," Jing Yuexin replied. "Is your perception of time distorted?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded, then gave a wry smile, "That's really domineering!"
"And the result?" Luo Fu asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm basically fine now," Qu Jianlei said with a wry smile. "I've finally absorbed most of it!"
This was good news, but Jing Zhenzun wasn't particularly excited. She nodded and calmly said, "I knew it!"
"You really think highly of me," Qu Jianlei smiled, then said seriously, "The quantity is a bit small."
“Then let’s continue,” Jing Yuexin said naturally, “Anyway, the fluctuations haven’t stopped yet.”
After absorbing the first element of time, the subsequent operations became much easier.
The second round took five days, the third three days, and the fourth two and a half days...
As he became more proficient, Qu Jianlei decided to try something new—could the aura of creation help improve his absorption of time?
After hearing his idea, Jing Yuexin was speechless. "Boss, I think you're even more courting death than Han Li!"
“The main problem is that I feel… it’s still a bit slow,” Qu Jianlei sighed. “I feel like I’ve hit a bottleneck; I can’t even absorb one dish a day.”
“There’s a six-thousand-year lifespan when you’re out of body,” Jing Yuexin sighed and spoke softly, “Don’t work so hard, okay?”
"Even if it's for nothing else, just give me some time to catch up with you... okay?"
"Whether you pursue it or not is irrelevant; I'll help you find resources," Qu Jianlei said seriously. "The key is that this opportunity is rare!"
"Even with this fluctuation, we are not sure when it will stop, and we have no idea when the next one will be."
Jing Yuexin remained silent for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and saying, "Since you insist, why don't you consider how to avoid exposing the Dao Stele!"
"That's why I'm trying it," Qu Jianlei said seriously, "I feel that fate can partially replace it... it's just a feeling!"
He's not addicted to courting death. If he gets used to using the Dao Stele to suppress time, what should he do if he has another chance?
Moreover, Qu Jianlei had other logic—the compass was baptized by the higher-dimensional elements of creation, while the element of time remained unmoved!
Therefore, after the molecular bond length in the higher dimension is stretched, a considerable degree of alienation should be formed between the two elements.
Logically speaking, the rule of "no interference" can essentially be considered to be roughly equivalent to "inevitable interference".
There are no problems when everyone goes their own way, but once they are mixed together, strong resistance will inevitably arise.
Qu Jianlei's idea was to use the repulsive force generated by the aura of creation to influence and constrain the aura of time.
This is still a far-fetched idea, and the difficulty of implementing it is beyond the imagination of Jing Yuexin and Luo Fu.
But since the eldest sister had made the decision, the two of them had no choice but to accept it—mainly because they couldn't think of any reasons to object!
I won't go into the details of this attempt; let's just say the result... it was indeed a success!
Secondly, regarding the time, it took quite a while—more than nine months.
Moreover, after the initial success, Qu Zhenzun was seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a full three months!
But the results... were worth all the effort!
As it turns out, fate and time are not entirely mutually exclusive; in some ways, they can complement each other.
