Chapter 2849 The Mysterious Venerable Appears
As it turns out, the environment of the small world is far more orderly than the chaotic energy cluster, even in its initial stage.
This small world was also full of spiritual energy, and Qu Jianlei judged that the enhancement to the Dao Stele was slightly stronger than the previous energy cluster.
When the seal is broken six layers, the effect of absorbing spiritual energy is already comparable to that of breaking the seal seven layers earlier.
The suction force emitted by the Dao Stele was as strong as ever, but the negative energy was much less.
Clearly, a significant amount of energy has already been incorporated into the construction of the small world, becoming part of the space.
This is certainly a good thing; the pressure on Qu Jianlei's soul will be much less.
The curious child also gave an estimate—about ten years, which would be enough to absorb most of the inspiration.
Based on Qu Zhenzun's previous performance, he adjusted the absorption limit, leaving about 20% of the spiritual energy in the small world.
After this result was verified, Qu Jianlei deciphered the seventh layer again, and the estimated time was shortened to about one year.
The suction force was stronger, but the pressure on his soul was still not great, so he didn't even want to unleash the giant axe.
Because he could sense that the Jade Beauty Three True Lords had an unusual interest in ritual objects.
The Möbius strip also quietly told him that in the world of alien races, it was best to use ritual objects sparingly.
Qu Zhenzun is a person who is willing to listen to advice, but this time he encountered a problem: Giant Axe volunteered to fight.
Strictly speaking, it was the spirits, driven by their volatile and obsessive nature, who made a gesture towards him.
Ordinary small worlds cannot arouse the interest of the giant axe, even if the foundation here may be upgraded to a middle thousand world in the future.
However, what ritual implements value is also that word—efficiency!
Because of the suction force of the Dao stele, the ritual artifact can easily absorb negative energy, which is not only convenient and quick, but also in considerable quantities.
If you could just sit by a tree stump and wait for rabbits to run into it one after another until they die, or at least be half-dead, who would bother to hunt?
Qu Jianlei could not refuse the spirits' request, and their reasons were sufficient.
Seeing that he had brought out the ritual implements again, the old woman secretly sent a divine message, "Why is this child so stubborn?"
Qu Jianlei could only reply with a wry smile, "Senior, this is beneficial to the ritual artifact, and... the Dao Stele may not be able to keep it a secret for long."
Having too much debt doesn't mean you have to worry; having too many lice doesn't mean they'll bite you.
"Sigh," the old woman sighed softly, too lazy to say anything more.
Wen Shi then began discussing the details of the transaction with True Lord Twin Wings.
He hoped that his side could produce a middle-thousand world a year later, but this world... he wanted to take with him.
The Twin-Winged True Lord objected—"How much you can absorb is up to your ability, but it's best not to take it away, as this place is related to Yu Xiu!"
Strictly speaking, this small world is nested within the Jade Beauty Realm; it is not a loose lower realm, but rather a parent-child realm!
Although Yuxiu is a super-world, it wouldn't be too difficult for a True Monarch to dismantle such a sub-world.
However, such an operation will cause some damage to the Jade Show Realm.
As for the extent of the damage and how long it will take to recover... the Twin-Winged True Lord's attitude was firm, and these were not within the scope of consideration.
However, Wen Shizhenjun said, "If you say that, I can't stand it!"
With so many True Lords' teams in exchange for your still-developing little world, you still won't let me take it away?
Yuxiu is a super-world, and you all boast about how powerful it is. Is it just a small world away from being here?
Both sides have their own arguments, and each seems to have its own logic, but in fact, this dispute is not just a matter of positions.
This also determines the issue of bargaining power in future cooperation between the two parties.
Otherwise, given Wen Shi's position and status, would he be so petty about such a small matter?
The others on both sides remained silent, simply observing coldly—everyone knew that a bad start should be avoided as much as possible.
The argument wasn't very intense; it was intermittent, with each of the two saying something whenever they felt like it.
Before we knew it, two months had passed.
On this day, suddenly, a divine sense swept over, its power far surpassing that of a Great Lord.
Immediately afterwards, a voice rang in everyone's minds, "How dare you steal Yu Xiu's spiritual energy?"
The heart that had been hanging in suspense... finally died! Qu Jianlei immediately sealed the Dao Stele, and at the same time put away the giant axe and compass.
"Greetings, Senior Xuanzun," the old woman replied calmly, "We are engaged in a transaction."
"Jade Show Spiritual Insight, who is qualified to trade with her?" Xuanzun answered without hesitation, then gave a light hum.
"Sabai, go and search the place to see what else they've stolen."
“Yes, senior.” The next moment, a young man with a sinister face appeared in front of everyone.
"You're the one causing trouble?" the old woman sneered. "Luckily, you didn't wrong anyone... Are you tired of living?"
“Maintaining the environment of Yuxiu is my responsibility,” Sabai Zhenjun replied calmly.
He also recognized the other person's aura. "I inquired about it before, but you didn't know how to cherish it!"
"It's not your place to lecture me," the old woman ignored him and looked at the other three Jade Beauty True Monarchs. "What do you mean?"
"I won't participate," the head floated backward, the white mist following closely behind.
Double-Winged True Monarch hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is the place I chose, Fellow Daoist Sabai, could you please not search it?"
"You heard it too, this isn't what I meant," the sinister man said calmly. "If I gave it to you, would you dare refuse?"
“Taihao Sect’s Wuchen greets fellow Daoist,” the curious child stepped in to mediate. “We are not here to take advantage of you; it’s a transaction, as agreed.”
"Who is qualified to trade for the Jade Show Spiritual Machine?" True Monarch Sabai coldly declared, "Cooperate quickly, and don't lose face!"
"I'll lose face today!" Bo Ping Zhenjun chuckled, releasing the aura of Tian Qing that he had been concealing. "Come on!"
However, the expression on the sinister man's face did not change; he simply nodded slightly.
"As expected, Lian Xing was involved. Did you know... that Tian Qing's aura is of little use in Yu Xiu?"
Bo Ping Zhenjun smiled slightly, took out several gray orbs of light, and tossed them back and forth in his hand. "I really don't believe it..."
"If you insist on believing this, then I'll...give it a try?"
In other worlds, he rarely takes the initiative to threaten people; doing so would be dragging the entire Lianxing into trouble.
However, if the other party insists on not believing in superstitions, then he can't be blamed.
The sinister-looking man remained silent for seven or eight breaths before saying, "Never mind, I won't examine you!"
“You have no right to inspect anyone,” the Möbius strip said coldly. “Dare to act insolently again, and I will kill you!”
“Everyone who comes here is my friend,” Bo Pingzhenjun said calmly. “I don’t allow you to investigate anyone.”
“I know you claim to be able to save the world from collapse,” said Sabai Zhenjun calmly.
If True Monarch Kan Shui could lead people to find Lian Xing, it's not surprising that the other True Monarchs Yu Xiu knew about Wan Tian Qing.
The next moment, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of the sinister man's mouth, "But what does Tianqing have to do with Yuxiu?"
"Don't try to gain sympathy from Yuxiu. We are all chosen cultivators. We have no interest in knowing the joys and sorrows of the human race."
“Well said,” Bo Ping Zhenjun smiled. “Now, may I leave?”
He might have sounded like he wanted to distance himself from the situation, but everyone present knew he was genuinely furious!
“Of course you can leave,” the old woman said without hesitation, her breathing becoming increasingly labored. “I’ll see you off…”
"Alright," Xuanzun's thoughts came again, "If you're going to confess, then give me Yuxiu! Zhong Ling has certainly played her cards right!"
He had long since discovered the other party's background—it could be found simply from their access permissions to Yuxiu.
However, he really didn't intend to indulge them. How much difference is there between Yu Xiu and Zhong Ling? How dare you act so wildly?
However, the fact that the other party actually offered to disclose their identity makes this a serious problem.
Zhongling has a good cultivation environment, no one can argue with that, but it also brings a consensus: it seems that its fighting spirit... is lacking.
Of course, no one dared to say this to Zhong Ling's face, otherwise, he might risk his life just to uphold the glory of the realm.
However, this is indeed a consensus in private.
Among the cultivators of the Spiritual Realm, are there any who dare to risk their lives? Yes! But... there really aren't many!
He was somewhat surprised that the other party was now acting as if he were introducing himself.
Just by sensing the other person's condition, well, I get it, they're nearing the end of their lifespan!
Upon noticing the anomaly, Xuanzun had already roughly grasped the relevant cause and effect.
However, he wasn't that free to discuss the specifics of each True Lord on the other side!
Given the formidable strength of the Jade Show Great World, the self-reporting of a few True Monarchs cannot be said to have no impact, but it really does have some effect!
However, if one identifies oneself as the True Lord of Zhongling, then it's a different story.
In the eyes of the Jade Beauty cultivators, the world of cultivators is divided into two categories: the first category is those who are both spiritually refined and beautiful, and the second category is... everyone else!
They have something to be proud of, being able to occupy the top tier between the two levels.
Privately speaking, Yuxiu wasn't entirely convinced by either of these two worlds.
However, if the True Lords of these two worlds were to reveal themselves in Yuxiu, then there would be big trouble!
Even these two super-worlds have always coveted the Jade Beauty Realm!
Cultivators value cause and effect and also pay attention to manners, but if there is a sufficient reason... then why not take action?
This was a kind of trouble he absolutely did not want to provoke; Yuxiu wasn't just his.
The real reason he strongly suspects is that this might be a trap set up by the Spirit Realm.
Those human cultivators can be... quite dirty sometimes.
The collapse of the sky is a huge disaster, but who decided that disasters cannot be used?
So he snorted coldly, "Everyone, leave. The one with the axe ritual vessel... stay here, you can't leave!"
The next moment, he felt the atmosphere become even more stagnant, and he was a little confused.
Humans are using ritual artifacts so freely in the Jade Beauty Realm... Wouldn't it be inappropriate to investigate?
“Then let’s not leave,” Kongyu Zhenjun said coldly. “I can’t bear the empty title of protector of the Dao in vain.”
"I have something to say!" the head suddenly spoke up, "That ritual artifact... is extremely ominous!"
"Hmm, you didn't just take a liking to him yourself, did you?" Xuanzun's voice instantly turned cold and sharp.
