Chapter 2290 The Power of the Great Venerable
Before long, Venerable Minning spoke in the sub-space, "Wow, so many Tree Clan members, Jin Ge, aren't you going to practice your skills?"
"This is nothing!" Jin Ge Zhenxian scoffed disdainfully. "Have you never seen money before, or what?"
In the past, he would have definitely taken action, but having come all the way from the Asura world, his perspective has broadened.
No one bothered to deal with the nests beneath the nests; that's right, this is the pioneering new world.
The key point is... this is the Spirit-Slaying World, so he definitely has to consider the cost-effectiveness of his actions!
“Then let’s go directly to the location of the space stone,” Minning Zhenzun decided.
He's used to being frugal, so when he hears about a place with space-spraying stones, he definitely wants to go check it out first.
Ultimately, he was still concerned about improving the dojo. Even without the Asura Nest, the space stone was still a good alternative.
Moreover, the place that can spray space stones is definitely worth exploring.
As they approached the designated location, the three of them paused in surprise, with Minning Zhenzun even stopping.
Qu Jianlei was a little slower to react, but he did indeed sense the abnormality. "What is this?"
"Wow, a huge shipment!" Jin Ge Zhenxian raised an eyebrow, glanced at Min Ning, and asked, "Shall we do it, or shall we?"
Minning Zhenzun looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you sure you can do it?"
“Of course I can,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said without hesitation. “I just left my body, Jin Kemu.”
“If you want, then you can come,” Venerable Minning answered without hesitation, “but the space stone… you know what I mean!”
Before the three set out, they did not allocate the space stones they might obtain—it was pointless to talk about it before they even got their hands on them.
Of course, there will be some agreements when forming a team, but it's all about getting what you need and it depends on the situation.
Jin Ge and Qu Jianlei were slightly weaker in cultivation and fewer in number, but they were closer, and the latter also possessed a great deal of information.
However, this type of teamwork requires sincere cooperation and one should not be overly concerned with details.
Otherwise, if safety cannot be guaranteed, it's like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.
Minning Zhenzun has a clear need for space stones, and Jin Ge Zhenxian needs the tree clan to hone themselves; all three understand this.
Encountering a newly emerged tree species is a real treat; it's more difficult to fight, but the temptation is even greater.
Minning Zhenzun also wanted one; alien races that have left their bodies are truly rare.
Think about what Han Li once said: "The Great Venerable Baiqiao has only fought four Out-of-Body cultivators so far."
The fact that Qu Jianlei's team experienced so many out-of-body experiences can only be described as them teetering on the edge of disaster at the time.
What's most remarkable is that this is the human world. If it were the tree race world, even Min Ning might not dare to make a move so brazenly.
This is a rare opportunity, and it's a great start.
Since there might be a second one, Venerable Minning is willing to concede, but if Jin Ge wants to take action, he must give up some things.
“No problem!” Jin Ge answered without hesitation. He also needed the space stone, but its importance was obviously much lower.
"But there are too many little things around here, you'll have to help deal with them."
“This… is fine,” Minning Zhenzun hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, “It’s a thankless task, I can’t help for nothing.”
Even as a high-level being who has transcended the physical body, he found it rather troublesome, which shows that the problem is indeed quite large.
This mother tree is surrounded by more than 100,000 other trees.
A rough assessment reveals at least a dozen Nascent Soul level tree creatures, and dozens of Nascent Soul level flying locusts... perhaps even a hundred.
This fighting force is already quite formidable, not to mention the tens of thousands of Golden Core cultivators.
Moreover, Venerable Minning had also learned about the Tree Clan's situation, and he was quite wary of those black lines that could cut through space.
One or two black lines pose no threat to leaving the body, but what about thousands or tens of thousands?
Fighting is possible, but it involves considerable resources and cannot be considered a convenient task.
"These are all good raw materials!" Jin Ge Zhenxian was reluctant to agree to more.
He and Minning Zhenzun had also analyzed the value of the Tree Clan. Since it was a battle, they definitely had to consider the economic aspects.
Unlike the technological world, the cultivation world always manages to find ways to utilize energy-containing substances, even if they are a bit strange and unconventional.
The tree race itself has a high energy content, and this is especially true for those with higher cultivation levels. Their hard trunks can also be used for refining weapons.
This is just the common understanding among cultivators in the Realm of Virtue. If the cultivation world had ever fought a great war with the Tree Clan, there might be even more ways to utilize them.
In short, this battle is worth fighting and we won't lose money.
"Tch, do I care?" Venerable Minning scoffed disdainfully. "In this kind of battle, if you don't win much, you lose!"
That makes sense. As the vanguard exploring another world, they could obviously earn more, so of course they care more about efficiency.
"You're really greedy," Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered softly, "Twenty percent of the body that has left the body, no more than that."
Minning Zhenzun nodded, these things should be stopped when appropriate, after all, it was only the first order before leaving home.
"But we'll have to discuss this again next time... Xiao Qu, is there anything you can do?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied, "I will release the Wind Oblivion to catch the opponent off guard. As for the reward... the two Great Venerables can decide for me."
His attitude was very sincere; he knew he couldn't really help much, but he would pick up whatever he could.
Think back to before heading to the cultivation world, when the team encountered the Out-of-Body Mother Tree, they could only waste their Flawed Traveler and Boundary-Breaking Shuttle to attack it.
The result of the attack was that not even a single fragment of the body could be found, a complete waste.
So how much he gains this time depends entirely on the mood of these two people.
"That's...not bad!" Minning Zhenzun nodded. Since leaving his body, he had rarely used tricks to assist in battle.
Breaking through space to engage in combat directly is not impossible, but Xiao Qu's suggestion can reduce some of the energy consumption.
The current situation is that the road to exploration is still long, and we must consider a long-term approach, minimizing consumption as much as possible.
Feng Yiwang and the Golden Core Tree Clan were released. Upon seeing Qu Jianlei, they took the initiative to ask, "What are your orders, Boss?"
"There's a Mother Tree that has transcended its physical form outside," Qu Jianlei explained the task, "You and it will do this..."
After he finished speaking, Feng Yiwang remained silent for a long time before hesitantly asking, "Out-out of the body?"
After Shujian wholeheartedly pledged allegiance, he had never hesitated before, but now... the situation is really different.
"These two are both Immortal Venerables!" Qu Jianlei pointed to the two people beside him. "What are you hesitating for?"
"Immortal, Immortal, Immortal... Immortal Venerable?" Feng Yiwang was genuinely startled.
It had seen the Golden Spear Immortal more than once, and had also analyzed the Tree Clan when Min Ning and the other two True Venerables were traveling through the void.
Shu Jian knew that cultivators could leave their bodies, but he never thought he had ever seen it.
Anyway, Boss Qu was enough to subdue it, so it remained humble and didn't dare to sense the other party.
Who would have thought that these two were actually Celestial Venerables, especially Golden Spear True Immortal—this one is also a Celestial Venerable?
Then it thought of another question, "What about the other two..."
“Of course, I’m also a Celestial Venerable,” Qu Jianlei replied casually. “What, are you having trouble?”
"Of course not!" Tree Traitor answered without hesitation. "It is my inescapable duty to eliminate the evil Tree Clan!"
“This…” Minning Zhenzun snorted softly, thinking to himself, why does he seem a little dim-witted?
Now that everything has been agreed upon, the battle ahead will be much easier.
Minning Zhenzun released two tree race members from a distance, and then Feng Wangyi started fighting with the Golden Core Tree Race.
Their battle didn't last long; the Golden Core cultivator was easily crushed.
Feng Yiwang, clutching the golden pill, wandered around angrily.
The battle between the two trees attracted the attention of the alien forest not far away.
In their minds, this was clearly an act of "insubordination," and everyone could just watch the show.
Because everyone was enjoying the spectacle, no one paid attention to how these two guys had suddenly appeared.
Then Feng Yiwang grabbed his little brother and naturally moved closer to the mother tree.
The mother tree is heavily guarded and will not allow unfamiliar tree creatures to get too close, but since it has left its body, it will not be too wary.
The wind was stopped by the wandering tree-tribe guards when it was less than 50,000 kilometers away from the mother tree.
Two Nascent Soul locusts flew out to verify its identity.
The next moment, a huge golden light appeared out of thin air, easily passing over the two locusts, and slashed towards the mother tree not far away with incredible speed.
With a single sweep, the two incredibly hard locusts, flying along, eventually split into four pieces.
Almost at the same moment, the entire surrounding space trembled slightly, and the tree-like beings and locusts in the air were frozen in place.
This freeze lasted only a few breaths, but immediately afterwards, large bursts of energy appeared again.
The emanating energy was everywhere, yet its source could not be sensed, as if the entire space had instantly mutated.
The energy intensity wasn't very high, but it emitted a strange rhythm, rippling outwards in waves.
This caused a strange resonance or harmonic resonance to occur throughout the entire space.
The tree-like creatures and locusts in this space stopped frozen in place, but they were all leaning to one side and their various reactions felt extremely uncoordinated.
They were like headless flies, or like someone who was drunk.
Even its trajectory is crooked and irregular, much like Brownian motion.
The vibrations started out very slight, but gradually grew stronger, until finally the entire space felt like boiling water.
That's right, it's boiling water. Not only is it boiling, but white steam is also forming, just like water vapor.
Before long, the entire space was filled with white mist, with intense energy vibrations and countless collisions.
Qu Jianlei stood in a hole in the trunk of the tree demon, staring in disbelief at the scene: Is this... the majesty of a Great Venerable?
He had always held the Grand Masters in high esteem, and even when they occasionally had disagreements, there was always a reason behind it.
Deep down, he also knew that the immortals of the human race were even more difficult to fight.
However, he didn't really have a clear idea of how troublesome the Immortal Venerable was, having already killed him multiple times when he was out of body.
The most profound impression I had was that you have to be careful about what you say, or you'll get into trouble.
Only now did he realize that the power of a Great Venerable could be so terrifying!
