Chapter 2846 Getting a Little Too Awkward
"Seven or eight months..." The head was not far from Qu Jianlei, and he looked very relaxed.
She then casually remarked, "Xiao Qu, isn't this energy cluster a bit too much for you?"
Qu Jianlei feigned a show of resistance, but in reality, he simply didn't want to answer.
Previously, this person had confidently declared that he was going to repair the Treasure of Destiny, but now, he's concerned about whether I have enough?
Judging from her demeanor, she seems to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
However, there were indeed those with big ambitions, such as Seven Leaves True Lord, who ignored the current torment of True Lord Qu.
As long as you don't die from the training, then train until you die... The gentle embrace of a hero is his grave.
Moreover, he didn't believe that such a small cluster of energy was enough for the Dao Stele to use. "Does True Lord Thunderbolt have any good suggestions?"
“I know a few more places,” the head said leisurely, “where the energy is more refined and the feeling is more in tune with the place!”
After these words, everyone fell silent. Was this... a real benefit, or a trap?
It was Bo Ping Zhenjun who couldn't hold back any longer, asking, "Is this your private property, fellow Daoist?"
"These are resources shared by Yuxiu," the man replied bluntly. "I always act reasonably and will never take them for myself!"
"That's a pity," Bo Ping said. Although he was determined, he had also fallen into many pitfalls and was very vigilant.
Therefore, he stated, "Unless you can stop Yuxiu's investigation."
"Didn't you say you were willing to pay the price? Why should I stand in your way?" the headman replied nonchalantly.
"If anyone comes to me, I'll at most introduce you two and try to bring you together... well, I won't start a fight right away."
"Thank you, but no need," the old woman snorted. "If you can't guarantee our safety, we can find it ourselves!"
She was scheming against the other party, but Jiuping Zhenjun was straightforward: "If you want to seduce Xiaoqu's elders, you'd better have some sincerity!"
"Squatting?" The archway gate trembled slightly. "This is... a woman on top?"
"Who are you people?!" the man in the head exclaimed, almost frantic. "I've never leaked any information, yet you're trying to stall for time!"
"Hmm," Qingxia Zhenjun snorted softly, "So, someone else leaked the information?"
“I didn’t,” both Twin Wings True Lord and Kan Shui answered in unison.
“Let’s absorb this area first,” True Monarch Qingxia presumptuously said. “We can discuss other matters after this is over.”
The next moment, another fluctuation occurred within the energy cluster, and as expected, the giant axe appeared!
Qu Jianlei originally had no intention of using the ritual implements, because he felt a little guilty every time he used them.
His initial thought was: if he could handle it, he would take it on by himself!
But when he heard that there were other suitable targets, he couldn't stay calm: there was actually a second round?
Who can resist the allure of a second round?
Qu Jianlei was also well aware that it depended on how things developed; at present, it could only be said that there was an intention, not that it was a done deal.
However, even if it's just an intention, he can't give up, right? So he needs to prepare early.
The negative energy's impact on him was not physical, but primarily affected his soul.
Damage to the soul is far more terrifying and harder to recover from than physical injury, whether in the technological or the mystical realm.
Then he would have no choice but to bring out the giant axe—although the ritual artifact is also a treasure of this dimension, its ability to resist higher dimensions is not bad.
At the very least, it's much better than the Creation Compass.
Furthermore, the ritual artifact repels any entity with a negative aura, making it one of his helpers in resisting the collapse of the heavens!
The main impact he's currently facing is negative energy targeting his soul, and the giant axe is actually... a perfect match for his expertise!
However, the place we've come to in Yuxiu is a world inhabited by foreign races.
Ritual objects would naturally be rejected in the external world, which is not their original source, and this should be even more true here.
Moreover, with three alien True Monarchs watching from the side, he might encounter other troubles, so he didn't want to reveal his trump card too early.
After all, when dealing with alien races, ritual implements would never be lenient.
He didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary, but since it's required, let's bring it out.
"A human ritual artifact!" As expected, the Twin-Winged True Monarch recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, put it away!"
The appearance of ritual objects in the world of alien races is far too likely to cause trouble!
Qu Jianlei pretended not to hear. The Jade Show, which your alien race is currently occupying, only appeared after the human cultivator Wan Tianqing!
In the past, they could occupy it without a care, but now they want me to put it away. I have only two questions: Why should I?
Originally, everyone came sneakily, thinking they could just take advantage of the situation and leave.
But now, the secret of the Dao Stele is about to be exposed, so the appearance of another ritual artifact is nothing, right?
The giant axe lived up to expectations, growing larger and larger amidst the chaotic energy as it faced the negative energy.
Qu Jianlei could feel the intensity of the attack on his soul beginning to drop sharply!
When it had fallen about halfway down, the giant axe seemed to find the Creation Compass in its way and simply went around to the front of it.
Its length also increased dramatically, and the effect was immediate, increasing the blocking effect by another 20%!
Qu Jianlei's soul is not entirely unable to withstand the impact of negative energy.
He simply cannot withstand too many intense and frequent impacts in the short term—why would a filter care about a few grains of sand?
Moving the giant axe forward can block 70% of the negative energy, while at the same time, the energy concentration behind it begins to decrease sharply.
This isn't ten minus seven equaling three, but rather less than three. Qu Jianlei's situation has visibly improved.
The risk of exposing the giant axe was definitely worth it.
However, the Twin-Winged True Lord was displeased and couldn't help but whisper to the human head.
"They keep releasing ritual objects; it feels like they're taking us less and less seriously... they're getting a bit arrogant."
The human head glanced at it, its expression somewhat strange. "Don't you think... this ritual object is quite suitable?"
“But that’s a ritual object,” the Twin-Winged True Lord said anxiously. “Shouldn’t it be destroyed as soon as it’s seen?”
This reflects the attitude of other races towards the ritual objects of the human race, not necessarily their forced destruction—after all, in many situations, the specific circumstances must be considered.
However, the basic attitude is very clear: this thing is very unfriendly to other races.
“If you want to destroy it, just do it yourself,” the head said absentmindedly. “Don’t talk to me.”
“Let him… absorb it all,” True Monarch Twin Wings wasn’t inflexible either. “At this moment, the ritual artifact is of great help to him.”
As a true lord, he wouldn't be so blind; he clearly understood the effect of the ritual object and decided to help others achieve their goals.
However, he also had a dilemma – how could he act in a way that wouldn't provoke the other party?
"How to phrase it is a troublesome matter. Pili, you are more familiar with the human race, so please give me some advice."
"Just the wording?" The head continued, still looking dazed, and answered absentmindedly, "Don't you see the power... can you destroy it?"
The Twin-Winged True Monarch was taken aback upon hearing this. "The upper limit of ritual artifacts, isn't that just the ability to leave the body?"
"The upper limit of Taotie is only the Nascent Soul stage," the human head scoffed disdainfully, but this did not prevent Yu Xiu from producing a Taotie True Monarch.
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you," she said, looking at the high priest. "Hey, are these ritual objects yours?"
“It’s not mine,” the high priest said, not averse to such direct communication. “Why do you ask that?”
"That's... Xiao Qu's?" The man's expression was a little strange.
Then she muttered softly, "Just how many good things has the Haoran Sect embezzled?"
"Hey, hey, this has nothing to do with Hao Ran," the curious child couldn't hold back any longer, "It was a gift from my Taihao Sect!"
Although Wu Xuanzhen has fallen, it cannot be denied that this was a gift he gave to young friend Qu!
"You think I'd believe that?" the man scoffed. "Some of the senior members of the Taihao Sect practice witchcraft?"
The high shaman had been puzzled by the question and was taken aback when he heard it. "This is a shaman's weapon?"
"Holy crap," the archway gate trembled, "Impossible... so weak?"
The young lady had used the ritual implements before, but she never made any connection to them.
But when Thunderbolt Monk said that, she really realized it, but she was a little...unable to believe it!
However, she did not believe that having lived for so long, she could have figured out all the secrets of the cultivation world.
Her insight is indeed far superior to that of ordinary True Lords, but how dare she say that she can surpass the knowledge of all True Lords?
"I'm just guessing," the man with the head said, though he was short-tempered but not one to pretend to know what he didn't. "Have you ever seen a ritual artifact that can withstand the attacks of a higher dimension?"
"Could it be...that ancient being?" The curious child's eyes widened. "Impossible!"
“Absolutely impossible,” the great shaman said, knowing what the other party was talking about.
He stated with absolute certainty, "After the Creator Ancestor cleaved through the chaos, his body vanished into nothingness, and the beginning of a new era began!"
He even dared to explicitly state his name because he was so certain there would be no consequences.
"In your words, it should be considered a return to a higher dimension."
“Since you are from a higher dimension and have descended to this level, you must have something to ask for,” the young lady said, demonstrating her exceptional skill in discussing the Dao.
She just doesn't bother with it usually.
However, the next moment, she revealed her true colors, "Besides, does that mean... people aren't allowed to create an alternate account?"
Upon hearing this, the man stared in horror at the archway gate. "How dare you speak like that? Are you insane?"
The archway shook slightly, but did not answer, its heart filled with disdain: I've already patched up the gaps in it, is this little thing really a big deal?
However, something seems off. Why does it feel like lately... I've developed a taste for courting death?
They spoke behind Qu Zhenzun's back for a simple reason: he was currently undergoing a very harmful erosion on his soul.
In fact, Qu Jianlei's pressure was greatly reduced after the ritual artifact appeared, but he was not idle and was observing the changes in the Dao Stele.
After the seventh seal was broken, the two broken pieces of the stele were basically glued together.
The rough edges are an objective fact; at a glance, it looks like it was made by piecing together two pieces.
However, there's nothing more wrong with it. Even a broken pottery jar can be repaired and still boil water. Right now, all that's missing are a few metal clamps.
What is particularly remarkable is that an indescribable aura is already flowing between the two broken steles.
The character "运" remained calm, but this did not affect the energy transfer between the two sections of the Dao Stele.
