Chapter 2689 Zhong Lingyuxiu
Faced with Han Li's question, Xiao You simply smiled faintly: "You can gamble, but there's no need, is there?"
"It's said that there were instances where the Grand Prince was discovered, and things ended up rather embarrassing... There's a good chance it was a trap."
That seemingly elusive king possessed remarkable insight and wisdom; discovering their investigation, setting up a scheme was no big deal for him.
Upon hearing this, Xiwu looked at the Dog-Riding True Venerable and asked, "There might even be those above the Profound Venerable level... Why not seek help from such a powerful being?"
She couldn't believe that Lian Xing, with his profound knowledge and background, would be completely unaware of such a beautiful and extraordinary world.
Upon hearing this, True Venerable Riding a Dog could only smile wryly, "We would like to, but... why should we?"
For someone above the Xuanzun level, how much effort is it worth to save the mere Lianxing Great World?
All cultivators know that the higher a cultivator's realm, the calmer and less emotional they become.
They only focus on their own path and try to avoid all unnecessary causes and effects.
Saving the world... sounds good, but the so-called collapse of the heavens is ultimately a calamity of the world itself, which should be overcome by itself.
The powerful being has no relation to Lian Xing and has not received any decent treasures from him, so why would he rashly make a move and get involved in such a huge karmic entanglement?
Riding Dog True Venerable sighed, "Actually, the Xuan Venerable who gave me guidance before seems to have come from the Zhongling Realm."
They didn't completely ignore it; the fact that they were able to divine the fate of the person who could save the day was already a huge favor.
He didn't even know how one of the great rulers of Lianxing had managed to persuade the other party to perform divination.
Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the young lady isn't a human cultivator, so she shouldn't be in much danger."
"Who said that?" a female voice suddenly spoke up, and she said leisurely, "I belong to the cultivation system."
"If he's discovered, he'll be only slightly better off than a pure human Grand Duke... This guy is just too insidious."
Taiyuan Hai didn't even bother driving anymore, which shows he was genuinely annoyed.
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei spoke up again, "I have a question, so I'm just asking..."
"Since Yuxiu's conditions are so good, can she tolerate those rotten smells?"
The other five True Venerables remained silent upon hearing this, and none of them could answer him.
That makes sense. That person is already very old and has an old-fashioned air about him... He probably wouldn't be welcomed by Yuxiu, right?
“You underestimate the Great Ruler’s abilities,” Taiyuan Hai replied leisurely.
“At the same level, it is not easy to conceal cause and effect, but aura… is much simpler, and there is more than one way to do it.”
“But this is a world transformed by Xuanzun,” Qu Jianlei muttered to himself as he looked at the small world ahead.
Taiyuan Hai himself said that it is easier to conceal one's aura at the same level, but the levels are different, aren't they?
Qu Jianlei felt that his understanding was correct.
Even among those who are considered true masters, some people can indeed conceal certain information by means of obscuring heavenly secrets.
But without being self-deprecating, it's safe to say that once he gets serious, it will be extremely difficult for these people to deceive him.
Unless the other party possesses a treasure bestowed by a powerful being, or a high-level secret treasure, they will generally reveal their true form.
If something of the same rank can achieve this, imagine how much more powerful it would be for beings of a higher rank.
"Who knows what that person's background is?" the woman's voice said leisurely. "They may not even be human."
The group is currently located about two to three hundred million kilometers away from Yuxiu—this is just an estimate, as distances in the void are highly variable.
To avoid being discovered, everyone remained hidden in the spatial interlayer, observing cautiously and rarely daring to use their senses.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Taiyuanhai still hadn't made a decision.
No one dared to urge this great lord, but the daredevil said, "I really want to go into the Jade Beauty Realm and take a look."
The others shared the same sentiment; this was truly the legendary "fairyland," and they could imagine that there must be many opportunities within.
Especially those opportunities from higher dimensions... just thinking about them is very exciting.
After a while, True Venerable Xiwu asked, "Are things like the Primordial Purple Qi considered high-dimensional opportunities?"
She was unaware that Han Li possessed a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi; she simply used a relatively high-level treasure as an example.
"This... is hard to say," Qingkong replied after a moment's thought. "The Primordial Purple Qi is something that existed at the beginning of the world and involves creation."
The formation of a world is ultimately based on matter at the level of reality, which is different from higher-dimensional existence... right?
“That’s not necessarily true,” Han Li and Xiao You replied in unison, then looked at each other and fell silent.
Both of them have inherited a good lineage of Daoist teachings, and their understanding is also stronger than that of ordinary True Venerables.
However, there was a reason why the two did not continue to explain—is this something you can hear for free?
Higher-level cognition involves corresponding advanced knowledge, and no matter how good the relationship is, one must always remember that "the law is not easily passed on"!
This "method" is not just about techniques, methods, or magical treasures; it also encompasses Taoist principles, methodologies, and so on.
Especially now, with a complete outsider riding a dog, it's even more important not to speak lightly.
We are currently partners, but we share only one goal in this collaboration—to resolve the crisis of the collapsing sky.
There's no need to easily reveal knowledge that has nothing to do with saving the world.
The True Venerable Riding Dog sensed the other party's aloofness and felt a surge of resentment: Who are you underestimating?
He couldn't help but say, "Objectively speaking, the Primordial Purple Qi is a kind of existence that will appear when the world was first created."
"But was it truly born from the primordial world? Could it have originated from a higher-dimensional world at the time of the world's creation?"
"No one can accurately describe higher dimensions, let alone cognition... It is an ineffable mystery."
As a major sect in Lianxing, Wuqingdao has also produced a Nascent Soul Grandmaster, so its knowledge on many points is not bad!
His behavior was simply because he didn't want to be looked down upon... Please, we're all cultivators from the Great World!
This also illustrates that cultivators, upon reaching a certain level, all have a need to discuss the Dao. Exchanging knowledge is truly essential.
"Shouldn't higher dimensions also have corresponding laws and rules?" True Venerable Xiwu did not quite agree with this statement.
It wasn't that she was deliberately being argumentative, but... this is what debate is all about, a clash between different perspectives.
She wasn't aiming to win the argument—if the other person could win, that would be a good outcome.
Most of the time, both sides are talking to themselves, each with their own reasons—and there really isn't a standard answer when it comes to the great truth.
Xiwu even specifically asked Qu Zhenzun, "You deeply understand the meaning of creation, that the Primordial Purple Qi can only be born in the real world?"
"How am I qualified to judge this?" Qu Jianlei could only smile wryly upon hearing this.
"If you haven't experienced the suffering of others, don't advise them to be kind; I dare not speak presumptuously about a world I haven't encountered..."
"I can only say that even if the Primordial Purple Qi exists in higher dimensions, it may not manifest in this way."
"That's a brilliant statement!" Xiao You nodded in deep agreement. "The Primordial Purple Qi didn't form naturally in reality; it has higher-dimensional causality involved!"
She wasn't afraid to say that. Since they were discussing the Dao, she had to offer some solid insights, which was exactly what her master believed.
"Sigh," Han Li sighed softly upon hearing this. Since Xiao You wasn't hiding anything anymore, he couldn't just listen in for no reason, could he?
His understanding was different: "The Primordial Purple Qi is just a great opportunity that can appear in the real world; the related origin... may be even stronger!"
This treasure might be even more powerful in higher dimensions, but since the upper limit of the lower-dimensional world is not high, it can only be displayed in a lower-level mode.
“I agree with that,” even Venerable Qingkong couldn’t help but express his opinion. “You can’t talk about ice with a summer insect; we can only imagine it.”
Upon hearing this, True Venerable Xiwu's eyes flickered. "Then... could there be Primordial Purple Qi in this realm ahead?"
"You'd better say less..." Qu Jianlei said subconsciously, feeling that something was amiss.
But the next moment, his words came to an abrupt halt, because a female voice suddenly spoke, "Go quickly!"
"Where...are you going?" A divine sense drifted over, "What is the punishment for spying on the Jade Beauty Immortal Realm?"
The next moment, an aura swept over, still unhurried, not very strong, and without much pressure, but it was extremely clear.
The feeling was that your whole body was being seen, and you had no privacy whatsoever in the face of such a being.
For a moment, no one dared to speak; without a doubt, this was the Great Khan!
A few breaths later, Qingkong Zhenzun mustered his courage and said, "Greetings, Great Lord. We were merely speculating and had no intention of disrespecting you."
“Hey,” Han Li shook his head, looking unconvinced, clearly not optimistic about his answer.
In fact, the Grand Protector's answer was indeed very problematic—the opponent was the Great King, did you think you had the right to defend yourself?
"Do you even believe what you're saying?" The Great Khan opposite him was truly blunt.
"For no reason at all, they just lay in ambush outside the boundary without a sound. How dare they say they didn't have any plans of their own?"
"So what?" Qingkong was also annoyed upon hearing this. "If I don't hide and observe, do you expect me to reveal myself?"
"If that's the case, the Great Khan will probably ask me again why I showed up to provoke him, won't he?"
The Great Protector's temper was never very good.
Moreover, after spending a long time with Han Li and Xiao You, he vaguely felt that "rebelling against the Great Ruler" was not such a strange thing.
It's fair to say that you learn from the people you surround yourself with; the environment has a truly significant impact on a person.
In the past, he would never have imagined that he would be qualified to communicate with the Great Khan like this.
Upon hearing this, the Great Lord was slightly taken aback, and even scanned the area again with his divine sense—that's right, it was an out-of-body experience!
Then he said, "Have you ever heard of what 'disrespect for superiors' means?"
“You’re not human,” Qingkong retorted, “The superiors I respect are human, and everyone here is willing to reason.”
"We were just passing by and thought Yuxiujie sounded impressive. We took a closer look, but were we really that wrong?"
“It is indeed very wrong,” the divine sense on the other side suddenly turned cold, the kind of cold that could freeze one’s soul.
"Has anyone ever told you not to reason with those in positions of power? Because you don't deserve it!"
"Oh my god," Qingkong instantly went berserk, "Then you might as well kill me, since you're the one in charge anyway."
