Chapter 2648 Exclusion
Qu Jianlei disliked causing trouble, but Han Li wasn't one to dawdle either.
Within minutes, he agreed, allowing the six True Venerables to leave with him.
The eight True Venerables blocking the way, plus the two from the Ruthless Path, make a total of only ten True Venerables.
Qu Jianlei was somewhat taken aback by his words, "Isn't your approach... a bit too casual?"
"You insist on leaving your business to me," Han Li said nonchalantly. "I think having a few more True Venerables is quite good."
"If you have a problem with me, you can say so," Qu Jianlei was truly speechless. "Isn't this too ostentatious?"
Han Li said nonchalantly, "These are all future offerings for our two sects, the more the better."
"Our sects...?" Qu Jianlei was stunned for a long time before asking, "Will they agree?"
"Do they have a say in this?" Han Li said calmly. "Ask them now, who would disagree?"
"I won't say more, but as an offering, I can always lead some people to Houde!"
Qu Jianlei glanced at Han Weizhen in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "You and Xiaoyou can talk things out properly, why are you being so stubborn?"
"..." Han Li looked at him speechlessly, and after a long while said, "You, who are good at research, just have a different mind."
After a pause, he spoke again, "It's nothing more than six True Venerables, what's the big deal? You asked me to do it, so just tell me if it's okay or not."
Intentionally or unintentionally, he revealed the true nature of a powerful True Venerable—he no longer took other True Venerables seriously.
Six True Venerables are nothing special; they just seem to be... slightly stronger than True Immortals.
It has to be admitted that the environment... really can change a person. Qu Jianlei didn't even think there was anything wrong with what he said.
However, he quickly put that feeling out of his mind. Everyone has to grow up, right?
These are the six people... He shook his head, "Never mind, I'll leave them all to you."
"You really really let go!" Han Li muttered reluctantly.
Qu Zhenzun felt that he was getting arrogant, and he felt that the other party was getting arrogant—now he's even assigning me tasks?
In the following period, more True Venerables from the Star Realm arrived one after another, and then some True Venerables left.
Twenty-one True Venerables arrived one after another, and six were ultimately selected.
The selection process was mainly completed by the Lianxing cultivators themselves, and Qu Jianlei and others did not inquire about the relevant standards.
They only care about one thing: if the other party is willing to swear an oath not to leak any information, then they are considered qualified.
Among them, the Kun Xiu Zhen Zun and the one who wanted to take out the array plate to protect the Dharma were selected early on as the six people.
However, the withered True Venerable did not leave. He said he wanted to stay in this realm to deal with other possible situations.
"He really has a lot of free time," Han Li couldn't help but complain after hearing this: He really doesn't have to get involved in most things.
After agreeing on the relevant matters, Qu Jianlei went to the fifth dead zone—the newly formed one, which had some observational value.
This time, Han Li, Xiao You, and the others no longer disliked the filth, but instead carefully examined and perceived it together.
Since Qu Zhenzun was able to perceive some of the mysteries within it, others naturally wanted to try as well.
Only Han Wei and Jin Ge did not observe closely; their task was to protect the five.
Even though both sides have reached an agreement, we still have to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
Previously, everyone was already wary of the two from the Ruthless Path, but who would have thought that after the incident, the news would still be secretly leaked?
After observing for five days, everyone took another break. During this break, True Venerable Riding a Dog was designated as the sixth True Venerable.
He was initially reluctant to go, believing that the sect had just lost a Grand Venerable and that everything needed to be rearranged and reorganized.
However, others believe that there are not many True Venerables in the realm to begin with, and the four True Venerables currently existing in the Ruthless Path are still a bit too many.
Even if one True Venerable is away and the other Divine Beast is in deep hibernation, they are still two True Venerables, aren't they?
Lianxing is currently facing difficulties both internally and externally. It should emphasize sincere cooperation, but forces that are too powerful must be balanced.
This was one of the reasons why other forces encouraged the Ruthless Path to take over the Remnant Realm.
Riding Dog True Venerable was somewhat dissatisfied, but since he had risked his life to deliver the message, he must have had considerable affection for the realm.
Since he was involved, Qu Jianlei decided to take everyone to the World of Relics.
Yi He has already settled in Jieyi, but he still says he is a little conflicted about whether to leave.
Qu Jianlei simply asked the six True Venerables of Lianxing beside him: If we want to take away the Remnant Realm, what do we have to give up?
The True Venerables of Lianxing have also roughly figured out the cause and effect.
It is not uncommon for a powerful True Venerable to directly abduct a minor world.
However, the remnant world has cultivators, and it is considered large among the lesser worlds, so relocation is not easy.
Of course, among the group of True Venerables, there are also Divine Lords who can be divided into multiple realms, so it should not be difficult to operate them.
The True Venerables of Lianxing gathered together and discussed the matter, and soon gave their answers.
They believed that this matter was not unnecessarily negotiable, since the remnants were considered "inauspicious" and even star cultivators did not value them highly.
However, it is not advisable to make any moves at the moment, as this realm is connected to the Lianxing realm, and any action taken could have a ripple effect.
The current Lianxing Realm truly cannot withstand any more turmoil.
In Qu Zhenzun's mind, the female voice rang out again, full of disdain, "Such a far-off little realm, heh, is it because they're worried you won't come back?"
Qu Jianlei had also considered this point, and his face showed some displeasure. "So, in theory, you don't object?"
“Just wait a little while,” the Dog-Riding True Venerable replied seriously, “Besides, how to dispose of these remains is actually quite troublesome.”
Qu Jianlei remained silent, his hesitation stemming from the headache of finding a suitable place for him.
This large group of cultivators in the Remnant Realm, while considered to be from the outside world, objectively exhibit some subtle differences.
For both Houde and Cangwu, they are outsiders and are destined to be embroiled in the competition for resources in the future.
But if we take harsh measures against them... not to mention Yi He's feelings, Qu Jianlei doesn't want to bear such a heavy karmic burden.
In the end, he said, "For now, let's leave it at that. Anyway, it's not far away, and we'll come back to visit from time to time."
Yi He was still a little reluctant, but in the end, he could only accept this reality for the time being.
On the way back to Houde, Jiao Daoren suddenly sent a message to Qu Jianlei, saying, "I don't really want to go back."
Seeing Yi He's state in the world of the dead, he also became conflicted.
He had said long ago that the Beast Taming Sect had dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, and he was quite proud of it.
But now, looking at it, any one of the four sacred mountains and one palace in the Cangwu Realm could easily crush the Beast Taming Sect.
What's even more terrifying is that in this world of remnants, rise and fall truly depend on the single thought of the departed immortal.
He began to seriously consider that if he were to return, his old friends would surely be gone, and the consequences would be uncontrollable.
"I can understand," Qu Jianlei sighed. No one likes the feeling of things changing and people being no longer the same.
However, this will become the norm in the future, and even he himself will have to learn to adapt to and accept it.
The return journey was much faster; after about a year, everyone arrived in the void near Houde.
Qu Jianlei chose a relatively secluded entrance, not wanting to attract too much attention.
However, by sheer coincidence, it was still sensed by a True Venerable from the realm of mountains and rivers.
He discovered more than ten True Venerable auras—this was alarming! He immediately notified the people in other camps to go and investigate.
Upon seeing Qu Jianlei and Han Li among the True Venerables, many cultivators from outside the realm were slightly startled: What are they going to do?
Fortunately, they then saw Xiao You and three True Venerables of All Things.
So everyone stepped forward and asked: Where do these unfamiliar deities come from?
Xiaoyou said it was inconvenient to say, and Houde's Seven True Venerables did not respond.
The six True Venerables of Lianxing were somewhat taken aback: So many True Venerables from beyond the realm?
At this moment, they realized that the other party came from Houde, and although it was an unfamiliar realm, it was still the real world.
The six originally intended to enter Houde—their task was to cooperate with the True Venerable and resolve the trivial matters around them.
However, before entering the realm, Qu Jianlei suddenly reminded everyone: "Fellow Daoists, it would be best to sense whether it is convenient to enter."
Some people doubted his true motives: Were we at his doorstep, and he didn't want us to come in?
However, after sensing it, the expressions of two True Venerables changed slightly, one of whom was the True Venerable Riding a Dog.
He frowned and asked, "Is this realm... rejecting us?"
Another True Venerable raised his hand and made a calculation, his expression changing slightly. "As expected, he doesn't like it. He probably can't stay here for long."
The True Venerables of Lianxing did not look very good. They had realized that Houde disliked their aura.
Seeing this, Han Li asked curiously, "Didn't you encounter similar problems when you went to other realms?"
This is really like bringing up a sore spot; it's incredibly embarrassing.
After waiting for a while, a more sophisticated True Venerable replied, "Most of them are brief negotiations; I haven't heard of any similar feedback."
Lianxing did indeed seek help from multiple realms, but it was mainly True Monarchs who stepped forward, and not many True Venerables.
Their objectives are also very clear: finding people, finding treasures, seeking solutions... and they don't take too long to accomplish anything.
Even if there is a boundary of exclusion, those who go out may not mention it.
Otherwise, it would affect people's hearts—even the consciousness of other realms would reject Lianxing's aura.
Secondly, this is not something to be proud of, so why bring it up?
Even if rejection is detected, it won't have a significant impact on the person seeking help—who can stay in someone else's territory for long?
However, this is now a big problem, because of this influence, they are unable to effectively cooperate with the few True Venerables.
If we can't keep up with the other party and help them solve their problems at any time, why would they pay attention to Lian Xing's people?
In the end, it was She Niu Zhen Zun who suggested, "How about this, we take turns entering the realm, two people each time, and we switch every two years."
This is a last resort; if we stay too long, even the Star True Venerable will be greatly affected.
