Chapter 2842 A New Attempt
"Actually..." Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then sighed, "There's nothing that can't be said. Yuxiu is Lianxing after she has transcended the tribulation."
In the past, he would never have casually revealed such confidential information.
Even the Möbius strip wasn't explained to Kong Yu, which shows how sensitive this news was.
However, Qu Zhenzun seems to be letting loose a bit now—his Dao Stele is about to be exposed, so what else is there to worry about?
Kong Yu was taken aback at first, then slowly nodded, "As expected, I knew there must be a reason. Zhong Ling has never experienced the Heavenly Collapse?"
The True Lord has a very strong mental fortitude, and he is also imaginative, so he can accept this fact calmly.
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "As far as I know, the only one who successfully saved the Great World from collapse was Yuxiu!"
He didn't know the other specific details, so he just quoted Senior Heng's words.
"I see," Kongyu Zhenjun nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder... Zhongling's Heavenly Collapse has not yet arrived?"
"Hey senior, can't you think of something else?" Qu Jianlei was truly speechless. "Don't you know about prophecies?"
"Oh, I didn't react for a moment," Kong Yu finally came to her senses, "Did you plan for Kan Shui and the other two to come?"
"If I had that level of skill, I would truly be the reincarnation of a Daoist stele," Qu Jianlei could only smile wryly.
"It was my oversight; I didn't think about that at all... They just walked right into our lives."
“Oh,” Kongyu Zhenjun nodded, “Now that you mention it, it sounds even more like the reincarnation of the Dao Stele… the Yunzi Stele, right?”
Having decided to go to Yuxiu, everyone worked diligently and made their preparations in just three days.
Almost everyone left a clone here, even Qingxia Zhenjun was no exception.
The only exception is True Lord Qiaoqi, who was required to leave his main body in Lianxing, but could send an avatar to follow him.
This is clearly discrimination, but in all fairness, he is indeed the biggest uncontrollable factor.
Another uncontrollable factor is the presence of True Monarch Jiuqi outside the Star Realm.
However, there is a large formation at the entrance of the passage, as well as a clone of Bo Ping Zhenjun, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The real question is, once the team leaves, what will Lianxing have left? In a realm on the verge of collapse, there's nothing to be wary of.
Even so, the large team left quietly, without alerting Kuki Shinjun outside.
The same thing happened when she entered Yuxiu; the old woman transformed into a Möbius strip more than ten kilometers high and entered directly.
She concealed the presence of others, and her origins were obvious to everyone, so no one stopped her.
If it were a different human True Lord, it wouldn't be so convenient; having authority makes all the difference.
Yu Xiu's layout is quite different from Zhong Ling's, with a considerable amount of folded space, each a world of its own.
Some of these spaces are so vast that they are comparable to the Middle Thousand Worlds, and some are even comparable to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Compared to this place, Zhongling is simply big—super big, while Yuxiu gives the impression of unlimited potential.
Kan Shui and the other two True Lords offered some suggestions, saying that there were several folded spaces that were spacious and sparsely populated, making it easier to perform larger movements.
These three were somewhat conflicted. While they didn't want to harm their own realm, they were also genuinely looking forward to seeing what Qu Zhenzun would do.
Therefore, their suggestions were relatively reasonable and well-considered.
The Möbius strip was fairly familiar with this place, but not quite as familiar as the three of them.
Instead of simply making a judgment, she led everyone to three places, one of which even alarmed a True Lord.
However, the True Lord was an acquaintance of hers. He greeted her, but seeing her lukewarm response, he didn't continue.
Interactions between True Lords of different races are often like this: lukewarm—they are from different ethnic groups and don't have much in common.
Unlike human True Monarchs, who interact more and discuss Dao, they do not.
These three spaces are all very large, but the reason why they are sparsely populated is that there are slightly fewer spiritual opportunities.
Of course, this "less" is a comparison within the Jade Beauty Realm; compared to the outside world, it is absolutely no less impressive.
There are two places where the spiritual potential is even stronger than that of the Houde Realm!
During this process, Qu Jianlei's illusory image sometimes became dense and sometimes faint, as he observed the Dao stele's reaction and tried to select the best location.
The Möbius strip and others were also busy. She, along with the young lady, Wen Shi, and Bo Ping, took turns helping with the divination and selection.
The situations in these three places seemed similar, but suddenly, True Monarch Seven Leaves asked, "Why don't we go and take a look at the smaller spaces?"
“That’s true!” The Möbius strip agreed with his suggestion. “Smaller spaces often have great potential for development.”
This kind of information is not something that low-level cultivators can grasp, and even some human True Monarchs are not entirely certain about it.
"Hmph, development potential," the head sneered, "Trying to absorb potential to turn the tide... I knew it!"
She does have a very bad temper, but her thinking is perfectly sound.
Seeing that the human cultivators did not refute him, True Monarch Kanshui sighed, "But these spaces with strong growth potential are basically being closely monitored!"
The three places it took everyone to were spacious enough, but they didn't have much development potential; otherwise, they wouldn't be so sparsely populated.
However, even a small amount of potential will attract more attention.
“Let’s look for chaotic energy clusters,” the human head suggested. “They might have greater potential.”
Yuxiu is not lacking in dangerous places with chaotic energy; as for what it will develop into in the future, only heaven knows.
The foreseeable possibility is that it will develop into a new world or a new space, but in all honesty, the likelihood is extremely low.
The most likely scenario is that one will be inadvertently drawn into an event and transformed into some kind of resource or a new form.
Taking action against this chaotic energy cluster is in Yu Xiu's best interest; whether there are more or less of these clusters doesn't really matter.
Thunderbolt Monarch's suggestion had its own selfish motives, but everyone felt it made sense—selfishness wasn't important; the key was that it was effective.
The Three True Lords can provide too many similar coordinates, and there are at least twenty worth studying.
This time, even True Monarch Qingxia made a move, and it was he who chose a good location.
Qu Jianlei rushed over after receiving the news and personally tested it, finding that it was indeed more effective.
This chaotic energy cluster is not small, with a diameter exceeding one billion kilometers, and it is located in a very remote area.
The key point is that the Daobei (Dao Stele) reacted very positively, more so than at other times.
“Let’s do it here then,” Qu Jianlei decided. “I’ll trouble you to help me lock my breath.”
The senior who could lock her breath was undoubtedly an old woman, no question asked.
She doesn't even need to manifest as a Möbius strip; a mere thought is enough to produce good results.
Since everyone came here hoping to keep a low profile, we won't reveal ourselves for now.
The old woman's aura locked down the entire energy field, but it was really difficult for outsiders to sense it.
No one stayed outside to protect the Dharma; they all entered the energy cluster—better to avoid trouble and take the opportunity to observe the True Venerable Qu.
The energy cluster's aura was so violent that even ordinary True Venerables would find it difficult to sustain for long, so no one thought of utilizing or developing it.
But strangely enough, it contains a wealth of vitality.
Qu Jianlei had rarely seen such an unusual situation in his life, especially one with such a strong sense of vitality.
But in Yuxiu, it's not like that everywhere, but it's quite common.
Unfortunately, the cultivators here generally don't find it particularly special; they truly don't know how to cherish it.
Once everyone had entered the energy cluster, the young lady slightly distorted space, and the disguise was complete.
Then everyone began the final divination, and everything showed no abnormalities.
Qu Jianlei didn't try to calculate it. With so many powerful rulers making their moves, could he possibly be stronger than them?
After resting for two days and confirming that the information was correct, he summoned the Compass of Creation.
The compass slowly expanded in the air, not in a hurry to grasp the true meaning of birth and death—it was observing the new environment.
After a while, Qu Jianlei confirmed through the compass that there was no problem, and then unlocked the first seal on the Dao Stele.
Almost instantly, the two Dao tablets were pressed tightly together, and together they rushed towards the seal!
Qu Jianlei watched this scene indifferently, and sneered inwardly: If I didn't even have this much confidence, would I have dared to bring the two of you here?
He could even guarantee that the aura of the Dao Stele would not escape from the cave!
The opponent's level was indeed high, but it was ultimately incomplete, and he was not unprepared; it was impossible for him not to be able to lock down this bit of aura.
Unlocking one seal didn't work, so after a while, he unlocked the second one.
This time, the aura of the Dao Stele doubled, and it crashed into the seal once more.
Although it was still of little use, this time, Qu Jianlei noticed something unusual.
The first half of the Dao stele was kicked, and although it became more blurred, the second half... actually became much more solid?
So his previous perception that "the stele is becoming weak" was not a correct understanding!
Only the first half was weak; the second half, on the contrary, became stronger.
However, the latter had always been very resistant to him, and out of respect, he did not pay close attention, which led to such a misjudgment!
There are many possible factors that could have caused the mutual exclusion between the two, and it may not necessarily be due to the latter's arrogance.
It's quite possible that the latter feels they've given too much and wants some compensation, while the former is unwilling... or doesn't want to give too much.
However, Qu Jianlei had no interest in figuring out the detailed process of this guy's split personality.
What he cared more about was: whether the Dao Stele had gained or lost by resisting the aura of the collapsing heavens last time.
However, because there was a mutual exchange of energy between the two, the strength of their energy shifted, and he couldn't make a judgment in the short time.
What he was certain of was that the last time the Dao Stele cooperated to resist the aura of the Heavenly Collapse, the losses were not as severe as he had imagined.
Then, it's even more necessary to help supplement it; the corresponding potential of the Dao Stele is actually greater than he imagined.
After waiting for a while, the change he expected still did not occur—for example, the character "运" (yun) did not start to circulate.
After confirming that his aura had not leaked out, he activated the third level, with a slight sense of anticipation in his heart: This time it should be stronger, right?
