A day later, the divination result of the Möbius strip remained the same: "It's still an ominous sign?"
"Just a quiet zone," True Venerable Xiwu said, skeptical. He then raised his hand to perform a divination and was immediately stunned. "Extremely ominous?"
If "upper-middle ominous" means nine out of ten people will die, then "upper-high ominous" means ten out of ten will die.
“Cultivation level also plays a significant role?” Jin Ge noticed this. “Then it has nothing to do with the match of opportunities.”
In some dangerous places, regardless of one's cultivation level, the chances of encountering danger are roughly the same once one enters.
For cultivators with lower cultivation levels, the main thing is to avoid actively seeking death and only choose to do things that are within their capabilities; the danger will not be too great.
Those who are willing to play it safe and live a lowly life might just reap some pleasant surprises.
However, if cultivation level also plays a significant role, then it becomes a true battle of strength, where the entire environment is dangerous.
"No way?" Even True Venerable Yue Ran was a little puzzled. "The difference before and after is so big, what's going on?"
He'd been to the Silent Zone before, and he hadn't noticed anything unusual at the time.
Experienced individuals like Han Wei and Qi Gou Zhen Zun had already cast thoughtful glances at Qu Zhen Zun.
The only change among them in the past six months was that this person absorbed a talent from another race.
Although this sounds a bit far-fetched, there really aren't many other options.
She Niu Zhenzun was somewhat puzzled, "Regarding the changes in the Silent Zone... I'd rather believe it's due to the passage of time."
Riding a Dog True Venerable gave him an annoyed look. "How long has this Silent Zone existed in the void?"
If time is a variable, things would have changed here long ago, wouldn't they?
Bo Ping Zhenjun did some divination and was quite frustrated. "The compression difficulty has increased a lot... but I can't figure it out."
Despite everyone's rush to perform divination, this ultimately involves higher dimensions.
Therefore, no one directly performs divination; they all use indirect methods. So it's normal that the results are not very clear.
"I'll do some divination in a couple of days to see if it can be used as bait!" The young woman made her decision.
The sudden loss of the wool-gathering opportunity was quite disappointing, but it was impossible to give up on the other tests.
Three days later, everyone performed the divination again, and the result showed that the success rate had improved.
However, the level of danger is moderate to severe or slightly severe, which is quite pessimistic.
Most cultivators would consider leaving if they encountered this situation—opportunities are everywhere, but the potential risks are too great.
Even though quiet zones are hard to find, they're not extinct.
However, Bo Ping Zhenjun was a bit stubborn, "Do you think it's possible that this perilous change is actually the real opportunity?"
Everyone fell silent. After a while, the Möbius strip said, "Then let's observe for a longer period of time and see if there are any further changes?"
When Qu Jianlei noticed several people looking at him, he proactively stated, "I don't care; I'm trying to capitalize on previous achievements."
A large area of silence has been compressed so much that it cannot be digested in a short time—that is where many True Venerables are trapped.
"Then let's wait and see," Han Li suggested. "Let's do the divination every now and then and observe the corresponding changes."
They had done this kind of thing before in another world. If they could find the pattern, they could plan their actions accordingly.
“We need to set a time,” Xiaoyou added, “We can’t let ourselves be led astray.”
This suggestion is certainly valid; even the worst person present is a true master, and they all understand the importance of cutting losses in time.
"Let's set a preliminary timeframe of three years," the Möbius strip suggested.
He was willing to study it, but he didn't want to wait any longer—he didn't have much time left, and "unless there are special circumstances, it won't be postponed."
Considering the importance of this matter, the timeframe is too short.
Previously, everyone was willing to wait twenty years for Qu Zhenzun, so studying the patterns of this place, thirty years is not too long.
However, spending so many True Lords and True Venerables together for such a long time would be a huge waste.
No one objected to the suggestion after three years—Prince Nagahira was somewhat unwilling, but he also knew that the other party's lifespan was coming to an end.
Four months later, when True Monarch Wuchen made his move, he suddenly discovered that the danger had decreased to medium-medium danger.
Riding a dog, the True Venerable immediately followed suit with divination, and sure enough, the result also turned into an ominous situation.
Although the danger is still very high, at least it's not the most dangerous situation where you're guaranteed to die.
They decided to wait a little longer, hoping it might drop to the upper-middle level – for the True Venerable, this was the level of the ordinary Silent Zone.
Unexpectedly, a day later, the divination result of the Möbius strip changed to an upper-middle ominous sign, and it has not decreased since.
Nine months later, another variable appeared, and the situation worsened again, becoming moderately bad, but rebounded a day later.
However, this time, everyone seized the opportunity and even took into account the probability and danger of using bait.
The probability didn't decrease, but the danger did decrease somewhat.
The Möbius strip found Qu Zhenzun and said, "Lend me your Creation Compass... It has less than two years left."
It must be pointed out that it is very rare for cultivators to borrow magical treasures from each other.
Most of the time, it is elders who lend magical treasures to younger generations for protection. This is similar to how Qianhuan was able to infiltrate a spiritual mountain and create an avatar.
However, Qu Jianlei's gifts were borrowed more than once. Last time, it was a young lady who borrowed the ritual implements, and this time it was the Creation Compass that was borrowed.
However, this matter is not anyone else's fault; it's simply that his cultivation level was a bit lacking—it was all True Lords who borrowed from him.
In other words, with his cultivation level, he is not qualified to possess the corresponding magic weapon, or at least he cannot unleash its full power.
Just like Kan Shui wanted to borrow a palace from Han Li—possessing treasures beyond one's means inevitably attracts the covetousness of others.
Qu Jianlei would certainly lend it; the karmic connection between the two was too deep. Since the Great Lord's assassin had spoken, how could he refuse?
In any case, for more than a year, he has been focused on digesting the "stones" in his body, and even the divination was not something he could do.
However, he was secretly relieved that these people hadn't discovered the Dao stele.
Otherwise, once the Dao Stele is lent out, it may not be returned...
The third time the danger level dropped abnormally, it was still moderately dangerous, but it happened five months later, and there seemed to be no obvious pattern.
This time, however, no one hesitated. Bo Ping Da Jun and Möbius Ring each sent a clone to force their way in.
Following them in were Xiaoyou, Qingkong, Qigou, and Luofu's clones!
Qu Jianlei did not go in, partly because of the dissuasion from others, but more importantly because he needed to focus on digesting the stones.
From this perspective, being a tool isn't all bad; at least others still need you to do their work.
A day later, danger returned to the upper and middle levels, and everyone's main bodies outside lost contact with their clones.
However, as everyone already knows, the root of the danger inside is likely that the barriers of the Silent Zone have become thicker.
Because the difficulty increases significantly once you get in.
Fortunately, these clones carried many treasures, especially the Möbius strip which also carried the Compass of Creation, and they quickly broke in.
Qu Jianlei was definitely reluctant to part with the compass, but as a cultivator, he could not become a slave to material possessions.
Just like when Han Li encountered danger, he did not hesitate to take out the Divine Palace to defend himself, which resulted in the damage of the treasure.
But the handsome young man didn't care—treasures are meant to be used, otherwise what's the point of painstakingly accumulating them?
Qu Jianlei shared the same view, believing that understanding the situation in this silent zone was more important than the Compass of Creation!
However, he felt a little emotional – no wonder even a powerful Dao stele would break in two.
It's a pity that we don't know what kind of powerful being or what serious matter they encountered that made them willing to pay such a high price.
Since the Möbius strip was willing to destroy a clone, he didn't think the Creation Compass would be any more valuable.
However, in reality, no one was particularly worried that the clone would be completely destroyed.
Since they were able to get in, the probability of them getting out when the danger subsides next time is not small.
Even if most of the clones are destroyed, as long as one or two can break out and explain the situation inside, it won't be a complete loss.
The question is, how many months will it be before the next crisis subsides?
However, to everyone's surprise, on the twelfth day, when True Lord Wuchen was performing his routine divination, the ominous signs suddenly subsided.
This is a bit abnormal; the intervals are far too different.
"How come you always seem to run into him?" the young woman commented on Wuchen first. "Is there something wrong with your constitution?"
Then she said, "The situation is unclear, don't wander around!"
This is not a frequency that everyone is familiar with, so it is necessary to be cautious.
Everyone present knew that various abnormal phenomena might have cycles, and since there are small cycles, there might be large cycles as well.
Even if it's an abnormal cycle that's beyond our comprehension, we can wait until the cycle returns to normal, and maybe the people inside can even break out.
In short, caution is paramount.
The degree of reduction is still considered moderately inauspicious—but for the True Venerable, it is considered extremely inauspicious.
However, the anomaly lasted for five days and is still ongoing!
Almost everyone had already done the divination—after all, they had a responsibility to their companions trapped inside.
Han Li spoke up, "Is it possible that they are trying to break out?"
The Möbius strip seemed to say, "Let me try to sense it a little more... Hmm, the danger has decreased a bit?"
"I'll go first," Bo Ping Zhenjun released another clone, "Senior Taiyuan, I'm counting on you!"
“Turning the tide isn’t easy,” the young woman said calmly. “Wait a minute, let me analyze the space!”
The next moment, she let out a soft exclamation, "Follow me and charge!"
Immediately afterwards, a faint archway appeared, bearing the two characters "Taiyuan".
The archway traced a strange arc, hurtling towards a certain point at a tricky angle.
At the same time, the young lady added, "Xiao Qu is staying outside!"
Not only Qu Jianlei, but also Wen Shi, Wu Chen, and Jing Zu stayed outside.
Luo Fu didn't go in either; her clone was already inside, and her main task now was to protect her cheap senior brother.
Han Li glanced at Qu Zhenzun, pondered for a moment, left behind a clone, and followed closely behind with his main body.
