Chapter 2838 Oversight
Kan Shui Zhenjun knew very well that there were few easy-going people in the team that saved the day.
It is said that his rival, Kong Yu Zhenjun, has also disappeared for some time, probably because he was summoned away by the Möbius strip.
Therefore, when he arrived outside the Lianxing Realm membrane, he was quite low-key and did not have the arrogant demeanor of the Yuxiu cultivator.
The three were somewhat surprised to find that True Monarch Jiuqi was actually being blocked outside the barrier.
Just as they were about to inquire about the situation, Bo Ping's clone arrived.
Since the other party had revealed their identity, he said that Lian Xing was currently busy and it was not convenient for him to greet guests.
Fortunately, it was Kan Shui Zhenjun who led the way, and he said that he was very familiar with Taiyuan Zhenjun, Qu Zhenzun and others.
He even mentioned the titles of two Star-level True Venerables, indicating that he had initially assisted in saving the world from collapse.
Although Bo Pingzhenjun harbored some resentment, the other party's arguments were so logical that he couldn't bring himself to turn against them.
Why didn't you persevere later, fellow Daoist?
"Isn't this... Kong Yu going to be Qu Zhenzun's companion and protector to break through to the Out-of-Body stage? He and I... have some differences in philosophy."
"You even know that Xiao Jing is undergoing a transformation?" Bo Ping really couldn't refuse the other party.
"Ah, she succeeded, right?" Kan Shui was also a little surprised when he heard this. "It really is a place where... talented people emerge in large numbers."
It's obvious that if the opponent fails to advance to the next level, the name of a mere Nascent Soul cultivator would never reach the ears of the Great Lord.
The abundance of talented individuals is not an exaggeration; a True Venerable Realm expert in Yuxiu would be considered a remarkable figure.
How many Nascent Soul cultivators have been blocked by the Nascent Soul stage? Even alien races face this challenge, and it's even more difficult for humans to advance to the next level.
“Hmm,” Bo Ping Zhenjun nodded, “Xiao Jing is indeed quite good… However, Kong Yu is in Lian Xing!”
"Then let's meet," Bai Wu said dismissively.
"We just have different understandings of the Great Way. Who would take those little everyday squabbles to heart?"
He left before not because he was afraid of Kong Yu, and besides not wanting to cause trouble, the key reason was... that Yu Xiu was forced out by Taiyuan Sea!
It wouldn't sound good if this got out, and it felt a bit ashamed. Having finally found a suitable reason, it simply left.
“Wait a moment,” Bo Ping Zhenjun said in a deep voice, “I need to ask Xiao Qu.”
“No…isn’t that right?” someone next to the white mist spoke up, “Fellow Daoist, isn’t this the realm you were born from?”
It was a single head with long hair, phoenix eyes and arched eyebrows, and an electric arc flashing between its brows.
“I have met the Thunderbolt Lord,” Bo Ping knew this man, who was notoriously difficult to deal with. “Xiao Qu’s performance was skillful, which saved the Lord from any conflict.”
He wouldn't say that Qu Zhenzun was the real culprit in saving the world; he was certainly not lacking in such caution.
However, this explanation is also reasonable. In a team where many powerful figures gather together, it is easy for them to become dissatisfied with each other.
For a team to last, the person who can serve as a link between them is not necessarily the most accomplished or the most adept at handling social situations.
Therefore, it is not impossible for a true ruler to emerge.
However, one thing is certain: this True Venerable One is definitely not entirely useless; he must have some outstanding qualities.
Shortly after, Bo Ping Zhenjun said, "The three of you may go in now. Remember your promise not to participate."
After the three True Lords entered Lianxing, they sensed the surroundings briefly and became somewhat puzzled. "Why are they all acting independently?"
Throughout the entire realm, there were at least seven or eight True Monarch auras, but they were all busy with their own things.
Occasionally their breaths would meet, but they would quickly separate again, as if everyone was busy with something.
The three of them wanted to observe, but couldn't find the key point.
The next moment, True Monarch Kan Shui locked onto a spot where five or six True Venerables had gathered.
Although the other two True Lords had never met True Lord Qu, they immediately recognized him: the one in the middle must be the real deal!
Leaving aside the fact that he was surrounded by four or five True Venerables guarding him, the aura emanating from this person alone was quite extraordinary.
"Something's strange, not quite like a human cultivator," the human head commented. "Kan Shui, don't you feel the same way?"
“He wasn’t this domineering the last time I saw him,” Kan Shui muttered. “How long has it been?”
"That handsome little guy is a bit strange too," the head muttered again, "He seems about to break through to the point of mental distraction."
“That is Han Li,” True Lord Kan Shui replied, “whose background is extraordinary.”
"Go say hello," Rentou suggested, "and while you're at it, ask what Wantianqing's strategy is?"
For a great king, taking the initiative to greet a junior is a very condescending act.
However, since one of the opponents was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it was understandable that they had formed a karmic connection ahead of time.
"Don't ask questions casually," Kan Shui Zhenjun emphasized again. "Never mind, I'll do it. Just listen."
The two True Lords remained silent, likely because they were somewhat unconvinced.
But the next moment, the True Lord with wings growing from his back spoke in astonishment, "That is... Qiaoqi?"
"He can join too?" Ren Tou said indignantly. "That's a bit discriminatory."
Although Lord Qiaoqi spent a relatively long time in Yuxiu, he was closer to the human race at heart, which is something everyone knows.
The reaction of the Twin-Winged True Monarch attracted the attention of Qiao Qi. He swept his divine sense over him, but only nodded slightly and did not speak.
Kan Shui Zhenjun is cultivating the Dao of Water and Fire in Harmony, while Qiao Qi's true form is Earth Flame, so the two of them have more contact.
He flashed past in an instant, then asked, "You joined too?"
“No way,” Qiaoqi shook his head and answered dejectedly, “I was just curious and watched, but in the end… I was forced to stay.”
“Forcing you to stay…” Thunderbolt True Lord was speechless upon hearing this.
It knew that its own temperament was rather violent, but the other party's temper was no better.
The Twin-Winged True Monarch asked in surprise, "They've made their move?"
It was well aware of Qiaoqi's strength; not only was his combat power high, but more importantly, his ability to escape was very strong.
Even if multiple True Lords joined forces to attack him, he could escape even if he couldn't win. So why was he forcibly detained?
“A bunch of ruthless characters,” Qiaoqi didn’t want to say more. Who would want to publicize something so shameful? “You guys should also be careful.”
"Hmm," the Twin-Winged True Monarch hummed softly, exchanged a glance with the human head, and made a decision with tacit understanding.
No matter how much Kan Shui rambled on before, it was far more convincing than Qiao Qi’s personal testimony.
The three True Lords projected their auras not far from Qu Zhenzun. Kan Shui first said, "Young friend, it's only been a short time, and you've improved again!"
"Greetings, senior," Qu Jianlei replied politely, "I am currently preoccupied with other matters, so please excuse my neglect."
"It's alright," the white mist said, maintaining its distance. "The chances of success should be pretty good, right?"
"It's hard to say," Qu Jianlei shook his head. "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."
“If you need any help, just say so,” Kan Shui Zhenjun said straightforwardly, “consider it as a matter of karma between you and me.”
This shows that he has learned his lesson and is now emphasizing his personal stance, which naturally distances him from Wan Tianqing.
"This..." Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, realizing he did indeed have a need, "Could you provide a wisp of Yu Xiu's aura?"
Senior Heng once said that Yuxiu was the only one in the Great World to survive the cataclysmic collapse.
Although he only mentioned it briefly and was vague, Qu Jianlei had already estimated that it probably didn't have much replicability.
This is not surprising, as every world is different, and the methods to save the world from collapse may not be universally applicable.
However, if one could obtain even a wisp of Yu Xiu's aura and trace back the cause and effect, there might be some gains.
Or perhaps, taking Yu Xiu's aura as a target, we could make some reasonable predictions about Lian Xing's future...
There are actually more than just these two tests that can be performed, but Qu Jianlei had never thought of them before.
For all those in the know, this was an oversight.
However, the key issue is that Yu Xiu is very resistant to human cultivators.
Qu Jianlei also subconsciously ignored this factor.
It wasn't until True Lord Kanshui reappeared and inquired about it that he remembered this.
However, upon hearing this request, Bai Wu hesitated for a few moments before asking, "What... does this mean?"
They also found out what happened in the Boundless Realm.
Although a wisp of breath shouldn't be enough to drag Yu Xiu down with her, but... what if...?
These people dare to attempt things that could turn the tide, so why not do something even more outrageous?
Qu Jianlei immediately realized what this person was suspecting.
He could only say, "Senior, what level is Lian Xing, and what level is Yu Xiu? Your concern is really a bit much..."
As he spoke, he winked – there were some things the other party already knew, but he couldn't just say them casually.
Although Senior Heng revealed Yu Xiu's background casually and did not require it to be kept secret.
However, this news has remained unknown to the outside world, which must have been for a reason.
Bai Wu remained silent for a few moments before suddenly realizing something and said, "Oh, that person... do you need me to keep an eye on them?"
"The cause and effect within... Senior, you don't need to get involved," Qu Jianlei said solemnly, "A doctor cannot heal himself."
Actually, his addition of the second half of the sentence only made it seem more like he was trying to cover something up, as if he was wary of the other party taking advantage of him.
However, Kan Shui Zhenjun didn't want to cause any trouble and simply said, "I don't have it with me, I'll go get it now."
“I have one,” Twin-Winged True Monarch said, flipping his wrist to reveal a top-grade spirit stone in his hand, “formed from the aura of Jade Beauty.”
Upon seeing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but recall the scene when he first encountered True Monarch Kanshui, where the other party was rubbing his hands together to create a powerful spiritual energy.
"Thank you, senior." He pondered for a moment and took out a small ball of light. "This is just a small rule; please excuse my ignorance."
It is a relatively rare rule, but one that can be found everywhere in the realm of virtue.
If we're really talking about transactions, the rules are definitely rarer than the ultimate spirit, but right now, the numbers don't add up.
"Protect?" The Twin-Winged True Monarch paused for a moment, then smiled. "No need, it's good that you have the intention, young friend."
Seeing this, the human head chuckled, "This little fellow is quite interesting. This Great Lord's wings possess the essence of protection."
In any case, the fact that the other party did not accept the reward from the superior with a sense of entitlement made the two True Lords feel a little better.
It is an indisputable fact that people who are particular about their conduct are generally well-liked.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then raised his hand in a gesture of respect, "Then I thank you for your kindness, senior."
