Upon seeing Qu Jianlei return, Feng Wangyi turned and began to flee without saying a word, as it was well aware of the terrifying nature of that "Xingzai".
Immediately afterwards, a strange fluctuation suddenly erupted in the center of the alien forest that had not been attacked.
"Damn it..." Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered under his breath, "This is a spatial fluctuation!"
Min Ning Zhenzun frowned slightly. He felt that the fluctuation was slightly interfering with his control.
"Xiao Qu, what's going on?"
"I went back and took stock," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "and found that there really weren't many warships left, so I changed my approach."
"You should at least have given us a heads-up," Jin Ge Zhenxian said, somewhat dissatisfied. "We could have been prepared... Damn, this power?"
The power of a single flaw is not particularly great, but the energy at the center of the explosion is so violent that it left him quite astonished!
“Not bad,” said Minning Zhenzun, his expression unchanged, but he had a sudden realization. Sure enough, no wonder I had a bad feeling.
As Qu Jianlei previously commented, the destructive power of the Flawless Path, although it decays rapidly due to distance, is still a ferocity at its center that even a Great Venerable would not want to face.
Similarly, there's the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle. If a Great Venerable can easily break through the barriers of the boundary with his bare hands, what's the point of creating this Boundary-Breaking Shuttle?
In short, the existence of the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle is only possible if it can at least greatly reduce the consumption of the Great Venerable.
Minning Zhenzun's expression remained unchanged, but the detonation of the flawed Xingzai still increased the difficulty of his micro-management.
Because spatial fluctuations are fluctuations, the rhythm he is currently exhibiting is essentially an energy fluctuation as well.
Fortunately, the two are not on the same frequency, so they have less mutual influence. If they were truly on the same frequency, one could refer to the power of three lines erupting at the same time.
Even so, it has already increased the difficulty of Venerable Minning's operation, and he has to be distracted to resist interference.
After the explosion, the alien forest there was left in ruins.
Needless to say, the Tree Clan members who were close to the blast point were completely reduced to ashes; an entire tribe was wiped out in an instant.
Only those who were quite far away had some remains of their torsos; those who truly survived were less than one in a hundred, and each one was wounded.
“I need backup,” Minning Zhenzun called out to Jin Ge Zhenxian, “Hurry up!”
"You still need support?" Immortal Jin Ge rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. "Just increase the output, isn't that enough?"
Minning Zhenzun calmly replied, "This is what you owe me last time."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?" Jin Ge Zhenxian replied irritably.
The next moment, he secretly sent a message, "Heh, you got the short end of the stick?"
Minning Zhenzun knew in his heart that their cultivation levels were almost the same, and he could not hide the situation he was facing from the other party.
So he silently replied, "This interference... I should have kept him in the dark."
That's really how it is. He needs to focus on dealing with the tree race. Although it also consumes spiritual energy, it's less than the energy consumed by resisting the interference.
This wave resulted in a slight economic loss, but it wasn't a complete loss—Xiao Qu doesn't yet possess that kind of strength.
As he spoke, the Golden Spear Immortal had already slaughtered a small portion of the alien forest he was in charge of.
Most importantly, he had already killed all the Nascent Soul cultivators, so the remaining Golden Core cultivators were insignificant.
Then, in the next moment, another golden ray appeared out of thin air and rushed into the white mist.
The battles that followed were not particularly noteworthy and did not require much description.
What the two Grand Venerables were more concerned about was how much of an impact that violent spatial fluctuation could have on the fluctuation point of the space stone!
Even amidst his busy schedule, Venerable Minning raised his hand to perform a divination, then let out a soft sigh, "It's alright."
Ten minutes later, the battle ended, and Qu Jianlei released several old-fashioned regimental-class ships to hunt down the Golden Core cultivators and the weaker Tree Clan.
"Stop it, stop it," Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn't take it anymore, "Are your eyes really that small?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Well... wasn't the harvest a bit meager?"
"So you actually know that," Jin Ge Zhenxian rolled his eyes. "Your skills are such a waste."
Minning Zhenzun just put away a white ball of light and said calmly, "It is indeed a bit of a waste."
“I… sigh,” Qu Jianlei sighed, “the methods used were already considered mild.”
"Next time you use this method, give me a heads-up," Jin Ge Zhenxian said calmly.
Actually, he had a pretty good idea of why Xiao Qu did this without giving him any advance notice.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it demonstrates a certain level of strength and helps to increase their influence within the small group.
As for why we didn't say anything in advance, that's not important—everyone has their temper, right?
In the world of cultivation, following the rules is not impossible, but if your actions are always exposed, you lose some of your deterrent power.
Occasionally going off the rails can actually make others not dare to underestimate you, as long as you're not too capricious.
To be fair, if they can measure Xiao Qu's worth, why can't Xiao Qu measure their worth?
If a great master can't even handle this small accident, then that would be truly shameful.
Minning Zhenzun glanced at him indifferently, "You two can just keep singing in unison. The three of us are on the same side!"
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of fairy tales are they playing?
He made his point clear not only to show that he was not easily fooled, but also to express his hope that the camp could be more stable.
"There's really no need for any kind of chorus," Qu Jianlei said with a wry smile. "I just wanted to do my part."
“No wonder Jin Ge said you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve,” Min Ning Zhen Zun snorted. “Take a couple of days to rest and take stock of your gains.”
They have already gone through two battles in a row, and no matter how much they have lost, a proper rest is still necessary.
Two days later, the two Grand Venerables took out one sealed orb of light after another.
The orbs of light were not very big; the larger ones were about the size of a tennis ball, and the smaller ones were like ping-pong balls.
Sealed inside are individual tree species, most of them dead, but some alive.
The mother tree, which had been cut into more than ten pieces, was divided up by the two Great Venerables, and Qu Jianlei only got some branches of the mother tree.
He had no objection to this, because he had already stated at the time: the two venerable ones can decide what to give.
Moreover, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and his coveting of Out-of-Body resources in front of a Great Venerable was a mismatch in strength—this was also a common practice in the cultivation world.
Of the two half-damaged Nascent Soul Trees, Qu Jianlei obtained one to feed Feng Yiwang, while the other belonged to Jin Ge.
The Golden Core Tree Clan... well, let's leave that aside.
Two days later, Venerable Minning took the initiative to start the conversation, "This jet point has a significant causal connection. Do you two have any suggestions?"
He had truly realized that although he had the highest cultivation level, the other two were more closely united.
Therefore, he needs to proactively share his insights to show that he is not hiding anything.
"It's not just one layer!" Jin Ge Zhenxian had also calculated it. "Inside, it should only be a small world, but behind it lies a larger world!"
The Grandmaster of Astral Projection is truly something else; a casual calculation reveals something Qu Jianlei hadn't even foreseen before.
Fortunately, upon his return this time, his strength had greatly improved, and he knew that what those two said was true.
So he readily stated, "I will listen to the two Venerable Ones on how to handle this, and I am willing to cooperate."
“I’ll listen to Min Ning,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said without hesitation. “If there’s any profit, how much of the song do you want?”
"Twenty percent," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
Jin Ge has basically given up on this gain, leaving the rest to Min Ning. Does he want more than 20%?
“I agree,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said without hesitation. “If I don’t agree, who knows what kind of trouble you’ll cause next?”
"This is targeting me!" Min Ning Zhenzun knew this very well and spoke frankly, "Jin Ge, you only have one-tenth of the power, is there a problem?"
He had used some of it before, but since it accounted for 70% of the harvest, he was satisfied.
If you don't give Jin Ge even a ten percent of the money, then you're being a bit unreasonable. Since we're a team, we should strive for harmony and mutual benefit.
Qu Jianlei had previously complained that he had rigged the bidding, but looking at it from another angle—if you don't have connections and don't know how to conduct yourself, try rigging the bidding yourself.
"Enough, enough," Jin Ge Zhenxian said with a smile. "Great Venerable Min Ning, tell me, what do you need me to do?"
“First, cut through this… thing that’s like a boundary membrane,” said Minning Zhenzun. “It shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”
"You're fucking ruthless!" Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered resentfully, "You're just trying to wear me down!"
It's hard to say how difficult it is to cut through the outer shell of the spatial fluctuation point, but it's definitely not easy.
However, Venerable Minning sneered, "Keep pretending!"
"What the hell did I pretend to be?" Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered. "If I really had that kind of strength, I'd take 20%!"
Despite what was said, the next moment, a small golden light flashed out and slashed heavily towards the spatial fluctuation point.
Is this the true power of leaving the body? Qu Jianlei slowly closed his eyes.
He didn't even need to look to know that although the golden light was small and slow, its power was by no means lacking!
Needless to say, the courage to directly strike at the spatial fluctuation point is something he doesn't possess!
The next moment, the spatial fluctuation point trembled violently twice, then suddenly broke open a large hole, spewing out a large amount of spatial stones.
“It’s time for the little ones to come out and move around a bit,” said True Venerable Minning, raising his hand and summoning over a hundred cultivators.
At this moment, there are still a considerable number of scattered Tree Clan members in space.
In particular, the forest area that Jin Ge Zhenxian was responsible for attacking still had many Golden Core Tree Clan members remaining.
This also shows that the cultivators' confidence in their actions is something that the Federation and the other two countries cannot match.
However, at this moment, the alien tribes in the forest were also terrified, and most of them were fleeing for their lives.
A few who didn't understand the situation foolishly came to seek refuge with Feng Yiwang—this was the only Nascent Soul cultivator.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators and a number of warships charged forward, launching a head-on attack.
Two other warships rushed toward the ejected space stones and, under the cover of their allies, began to collect them without delay.
Cooperation is possible, but... Qu Jianlei still looked at Jin Ge Zhenxian: Is this acceptable?
Seeing this, Jin Ge asked with a forced smile, "Don't those two warships need to coordinate an attack on the Tree Clan?"
