Chapter 2863 Unconvinced
The demands of the irritable heroic spirits are no longer just exorbitant.
His remaining obsession was only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet he wanted to skip two levels and even demand... a guaranteed admission?
These delusional conditions are enough to demonstrate everyone's resistance.
“That’s why I haven’t asked before,” Qu Jianlei thought, feeling that he was still sensible. “Then, does this shaman use ritual implements?”
The fact that so many people remain silent, focusing solely on the idea of incense offerings leading to deification, already indicates that this issue is somewhat sensitive.
Qu Jianlei waited for a while and, finding no one to answer, nodded. "I understand. Sorry to bother you seniors."
"You don't know anything!" Haoran finally dropped his act and said, "Can't you ask Luo Fu?"
Another persistent thought sighed softly, "We are inherently dwelling within ritual vessels, how can guests... make decisions for their masters?"
"Yes, I really understand now," Qu Jianlei nodded again, but secretly muttered to himself: What a hypocritical senior?
However, he couldn't possibly ask, it's just that saying: "It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to cling together in hardship."
He was content to know that his senior was safe and sound; there was no need to worry about anything else.
However, this suggestion did make a lot of sense, so he had no choice but to go to Luo Fu.
The bright-eyed girl said that she had never been exposed to this level of knowledge before.
She was certain that when the sorcerer manipulated low-level ritual artifacts, he basically used them as magical treasures—even if he showed some respect, it wasn't much.
However, she countered with a question, "Those heroic spirits who were seniors, didn't they, right?"
"They can't comment..." Qu Jianlei stopped mid-sentence, then sighed, "They've gotten stupid lately."
It's true that those obsessed with certain things shouldn't make decisions for the ritual implements, but if it's something that makes them uncomfortable, it's okay to object, right?
Since no one objected, it means that the Heroic Spirits themselves do not resist this operation.
Or rather, even if they dislike it slightly, they won't be too resistant as long as the ritual implements are willing to agree.
Therefore, what Qu Jianlei needs to consider now is actually the wishes of the ritual implements; the obsessives have already given up on expressing their opinions.
But for him, the will of the giant axe itself wasn't really that important.
The inconvenience of communicating through ritual implements was only one issue; what he cared about most was the feelings of the heroic spirits.
He wouldn't lose respect for the giant axe, but he wouldn't feel bad about giving it away.
Humans are emotional beings after all. There has been no direct communication between Liqi and him, so the distance between them is still a bit far.
Luo Fu's words awakened him from his dream. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and then used his divine sense to request the ritual implements to issue an edict.
As always, the giant axe did not respond.
Qu Jianlei then readily agreed, "Since you have no intention of objecting, I will go and consult a few more True Lords."
"If you change your mind, please let me know in time."
The next moment, he and Luo Fu disappeared into the cave.
"That guy Xiao Qu... sigh," the last vestige of his resolve sighed, "that he can still participate in saving the world from collapse for the rest of his life..."
“He really doesn’t understand what obsession is,” Bingxiu sighed softly. “Why is it so difficult to leave without regrets?”
“But he knows how to respect,” the irritable obsession said slowly…
After leaving the cave, Qu Jianlei actually sought advice from several True Monarchs, including even some big shots from non-human races.
Things like crystals and human heads have lived for far longer than a Möbius strip.
They had remained silent before because it was a clash between two different systems within the human race, and rashly intervening would easily cause trouble.
Since Qu Zhenzun has taken the initiative to ask, things are much simpler now; just say what you have to say.
Crystal Ancestor didn't have a good impression of Wu Xiu, and he didn't know why that War Witch would choose the Crystal Clan as a fighting partner.
It believed that Wu Xiu's personality was uncontrollable, so it simply avoided him.
However, Thunderbolt True Lord said that the witch doctor was just a bit reckless, not stupid. If they were willing to help, why not?
"However, those people don't know how to beat around the bush. Don't play the roundabout game; just say what you mean directly."
Anyway, no one openly said that witches were untrustworthy... Qu Jianlei made up his mind.
He found the Great Shaman Xiang and said that he could entrust the task to them, but there could not be more than two people in charge.
Witchcraft practitioners also have their own witchcraft formations. Two people working together is fine, but three people forming a formation can cause too many variables.
If something bad happens and all efforts to save the day fail—no matter what revenge is mentioned, the damage has already been done.
Anyway, saying the unpleasant things upfront is a form of goodwill.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the project to save the world has entered its final stage.
It is worth mentioning that the three great witches worked together to drag that demigod-level silent zone to a distance of hundreds of billions of kilometers from Lianxing.
This quiet area is something Qu Jianlei would find difficult to swallow up, let alone digest in the short term; it's something he wouldn't even dare to dream of.
However, Xiang and Ju both believed that since this silent zone involved the infiltration of higher dimensions, there might be some places where it could be used.
Since it's three great wizards making a move, they can't afford to drag out the smaller ones; they have to at least get someone at the Divine Transformation level.
On this day, Bo Ping summoned all the True Venerables of Lianxing, "Any news about specific types of Void Shepherds?"
Everyone said that this matter was too difficult to handle. So far, thirty-seven Void Shepherds have been found, but none of them meet the requirements.
“Then let’s issue a full-scale warning,” Bo Ping Zhenjun said slowly. “Within the next few decades, could there be chaos in the outer space…”
"The overall situation is under control. Don't panic. Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos will be killed without mercy, and those whose actions are serious will have their entire family executed... There is no upper limit!"
Lian Xing did a decent job in ensuring the safety of the people; at least he passed the minimum requirement.
"Is it finally about to begin?" A Kun cultivator's eyes lit up—not the one with long legs who was good at sensing auras.
She was a newly promoted True Venerable, and had long heard about the activities of her seniors. Now she was finally able to participate.
The catastrophe of the collapsing heavens is forbidden to Nascent Soul cultivators, but how can such news be absolutely blocked?
As a potential True Venerable, she already knew about it, but she had no choice... No matter how talented a person is, can they change their background?
She had a deep understanding of this enormous shadow and had always hoped that she could do something about it.
Now that she has finally joined the effort to save the day, one can imagine the excitement she felt.
Her beautiful eyes darted around, gazing at a figure in the distance. "Is that... Qu Zhenzun?"
"Don't be reckless..." She Niu Zhenzun immediately released a shield wall to block her view, "You have to live long enough to save the world, right?"
"Huh?" Kunxiu Zhenzun looked bewildered. "I just wanted to... take a look at him."
She felt truly wronged. Having dominated the title of "Number One Cold and Beautiful Female Cultivator in Lianxing" for so many years, when had she ever given a second glance to a male cultivator of the same realm?
From childhood to adulthood, she had been constantly cultivating, and this intensified after learning of Tian Qing's situation.
The fact that he's even willing to glance at Qianxiu Zhenzun now is already a great show of respect, isn't it?
“That’s a battlefield,” She Niu Zhenzun said helplessly, “Fellow Daoist Qianqian…you should talk to her.”
The long-legged True Venerable Qianqian snorted, "Give up, that's Qianxiu you can never have in this lifetime!"
“I didn’t expect this either,” Kunxiu Zhenzun knew that this senior was… somewhat indifferent to him.
But she felt innocent, "I just wanted to take a look... so I could cooperate in the future."
"Cooperate with him? I'm not even worthy!" True Venerable Qianqian said calmly. "Listen to me... don't make trouble, people will die!"
"Him?" A newly promoted True Venerable will always have some sharpness, let alone the "Number One Female Cultivator of Lianxing".
"If you insist on going, I won't stop you..." Before Qianqian Zhenzun could finish speaking, Sheniu Zhenzun made his move.
He released a halo that bound Kunxiu Zhenzun, and then casually released a protective shield.
"You!" Kunxiu Zhenzun struggled slightly and broke free, after all, the other party was only trying to stop him casually.
Seeing her glaring angrily, but restrained by her status as a "senior," she seemed to dare not speak her anger, so She Niu Zhen Zun could only smile wryly.
"Qu Zhenzun saved my life, he is definitely a man of principle, but the female cultivators around him... no matter which one, you can't compare to them."
Kunxiu finally calmed down. Although she was unconvinced, theoretically speaking, there might indeed be someone more outstanding than her.
However, she was still a little indignant and couldn't help but ask, "So now, which one... or which of the ones did he choose?"
"He chose... currently, it seems possible, perhaps, probably... um, his childhood comrades-in-arms?" She Niu Zhenzun stammered a little.
In his heart, he was cursing: Other people's questions might only result in a deduction of points, but your questions... are deadly!
"Isn't she afraid?" Kunxiu Zhenzun was also going all out. She had never fought like this before. This time, she would lose, but she would lose with understanding!
Is it possible for a comrade-in-arms who grew up together to be outstanding in every aspect?
No matter who you are, you will only realize how vast the world is when you grow up!
“That person, who is less than eight hundred years old, has become a True Venerable,” True Venerable Qianqian said quietly, “Of course, the key is that he cares.”
“There were two others who achieved the status of True Venerable before the age of seven hundred,” True Venerable Sheniu continued, “and behind them… there were also great beings.”
"And you, with your aura of the stars... If I were you, I would consider him after we merge."
"Merge...merge?" Kunxiu Zhenzun was genuinely bewildered. "Even a split spirit isn't enough?"
Meanwhile, some members of the Wantianqing team also noticed this scene—was there some internal strife within Lianxing?
Qingxia Zhenjun quietly instructed her beloved disciple, "Befriend Luofu; this is your only chance."
“I’m getting a little tired of it… She and Jing Yuexin are very close,” Xiaoyou said, her gaze somewhat blank. “Maybe we should just let it go.”
“Hmm,” True Monarch Qingxia nodded, “It would be fine to just find an ordinary True Monarch as a Daoist partner.”
A mediocre true ruler... If others heard this, they couldn't help but ask: Did you say that?
"Can't I become his Dao Companion too?" Xiao You was indignant when she heard this. "Han Li is his Dao Companion!"
"She might not be a match for Jing Yuexin either. I can wait... Will Jing Yuexin be able to get distracted?"
At the very least, if Jing Zhenzun gets stuck at the threshold of the Divine Realm several years later, she will still have a chance.
