Qu Jianlei set up a mountain-cutting formation, easily breaking through the folded space.
What's particularly remarkable is that he didn't damage the membrane, demonstrating a clear improvement in his micro-management skills.
However, Qu Jianlei knew in his heart that the person who set up the spatial barrier probably hadn't put in a serious effort.
Through the membrane, he could vaguely sense that it was exceptionally desolate inside, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Hmm?" Han Li also sensed something was wrong. "Why is it even more miserable than last time?"
When they left last time, the Land of Fallen Gods had been destroyed, and the whole world was overjoyed. What followed should have been a vibrant recovery.
"Let's go in and take a look," Xiaoyou was even more anxious than the other two. What kind of world was this?
She could basically sense that there wasn't much of a threat inside.
She didn't want to do any more divination and asked directly, "There's no passage?"
“There wasn’t one before,” Han Li said, flashing forward and heading straight for the boundary membrane.
The three entered the realm one after another, and Xiao You was immediately taken aback, "Is it... the Land of Severed Spirits?"
She never expected that these two had come all this way for a world of absolute spirits—wasn't it to collect clues about the collapse of the heavens?
Qu Jianlei and Han Li exchanged a glance and fell silent.
After a while, Han Li said, "The world is indeed merging, but how come... the spiritual energy has been extracted?"
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue and sighed heavily, "No wonder it's the work of a master, able to extract inspiration like this."
Although this world did not have pure spiritual energy before, it was not completely devoid of spiritual energy; the spiritual energy was just a bit impure.
In addition, there is another form of energy, specifically manifested in magic crystals within the magician system, which have a wider range of applications.
There is still a faint spiritual energy present, as well as the presence of magic crystals.
But the key issue is that the world's energy system has stopped functioning!
What Xiaoyou meant by "absolute spirituality" was not that spiritual energy absolutely did not exist—even in a world like the Empire, there was still wandering spiritual energy.
The three of them were actually saying the same thing: the so-called loss of inspiration meant that the world's energy circulation mechanism was malfunctioning.
To be more precise, it is an energy system that can be used for cultivation. It can handle things like starting a fire and boiling water without any problems.
However, it is precisely because extraordinary things can exist that a world can be considered to have a spirit.
The two are mutually causal, which means that it will become increasingly difficult for cultivators in this world to cultivate in the future.
Xiao You wasn't quite clear about the situation at first, but after exchanging a few words, she realized that this was actually the world where Qu Zhenzun was breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage!
"Such a small world, it must be quite a challenge for you... Wait, why can't I sense your karmic connection in this world?"
There are very few people who are capable of discussing this topic with Qu Zhenzun, but Xiaoyou certainly has that ability.
“There is some,” Han Li had more authority to speak on this matter than she did, because he also had karmic connections to this world.
However, his brows furrowed even more deeply. "When that person made their move, they severed many of your karmic ties. What does that mean?"
"It's nothing special. At least the Grand Prince made a move," Qu Jianlei said indifferently.
"Do you think my little Nascent Soul True Venerable is even worth their attention?"
He was fairly certain that the powerful being harbored no ill will towards him; it simply disregarded his karma when plundering his spiritual energy.
"Isn't this a bit... crude?" Surprisingly, such a reckless remark didn't come from Han Li's mouth.
Xiao You frowned and said, "The karma of advancing to a higher level is very heavy. As long as you are a little careful, it is impossible not to notice it!"
"The Great Khan doesn't act rashly because he wants to avoid unexplained consequences, but this one... is a bit strange!"
She was a little surprised, but the other two seemed to have figured it out.
The daredevil asked directly, "Is it the Master of Mount Ling...that one?"
"Probably," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice. "I can't really predict the future, but besides him, is there any other Great Lord who knows about this place?"
This is the main reason why he wasn't angry; the other person didn't react much when his avatar in Ling Mountain was attacked.
Moreover, when Qu Jianlei and the others were besieging the Divine-Slaying Human-Faced Bee, this person seemed to have made a move, intentionally or unintentionally.
So when someone tries to seize spiritual energy, they ignore the cause and effect, isn't that normal?
There was always a cause and effect connection between us, so we're not outsiders, and a little more wouldn't matter.
The key point is that for cultivators, this is not a proper cultivation world; it can be considered a non-mainstream alternate world.
So, if there are benefits to be had, then so be it. Qu Zhenzun achieved astral projection here, so what? He might not even come back in the future.
Even Qu Jianlei chose this place to advance his cultivation level for the same reason—it's just another world, so what if it's destroyed!
Of course, at that time he also had the karma of being a necromancer, so at least he could be considered to have a legitimate reason for being his teacher.
After Xiaoyou understood the whole process, she nodded in sudden realization, "That makes sense now. No wonder they ignored your cause and effect."
“It only extracted the spiritual energy,” Han Li added, “without harming the magic system here.”
As true venerable beings, the three of them could easily perceive the state of ordinary people in this world with a mere glance.
The desolation they could sense was barely noticeable to the natives of this world.
Ordinary people envy magic apprentices, apprentices strive to become magicians, and archmages dream of becoming mages...
Isn't it true that ignorance is sometimes a form of happiness? Indeed!
Qu Jianlei was even more observant; he even noticed, "Was the inspiration... not completely extracted?"
Seizing inspiration is somewhat similar to hunting or gathering herbs, and there's no need to complain about a world that's been plundered—who gave you the opportunity?
There are many ways to hunt, and the moral standards are very low. As long as you don't set fire to the mountain to get prey, you're not considered heartless.
If you know how to focus on the big picture and avoid short-sighted exploitation, then you've truly mastered the art of living.
As for the claim that pregnant female animals shouldn't be attacked? That falls under the category of industry self-regulation—everyone should focus on making the market bigger first!
Qu Jianlei believes that the other party did not completely lose their inspiration, which at least shows some consideration.
“Yes,” Xiaoyou nodded, “The spatial folding also serves as a form of protection for this place, allowing the spiritual energy to recover naturally.”
The restoration of inspiration... is actually a very mysterious thing; sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's difficult.
However, the fact that the powerful figure who made the move was aware of this indicates that his actions were not excessive.
However, the next moment, the spider suddenly said, "No, no, it's not that!"
It also participated in the battle against the human-faced bees, and it remembered the scent of the lord who helped it!
"No?" The three of them were all taken aback. If it wasn't the Lord of Mount Ling, then who could it be?
Spider refused to say anything more, and Qu Jianlei was really a bit helpless. "Miss, what do you think?"
"If I'm using the top eye to see, do you expect me to use the bottom one?" the woman replied irritably.
"You should just call me Ancestor. All day long... don't you ever ask about the boundary consciousness? You've done it a favor!"
She didn't participate in the battle against the human-faced bees, so how would she know who the Lord of Mount Ling was?
“But… I don’t know how to communicate with the consciousness of the realm,” Qu Jianlei said helplessly.
He can no longer sense the existence of the boundary consciousness.
He initially thought that the other party had fallen into hibernation because their inspiration had been stolen.
“It was frightened,” the woman’s voice said leisurely, “After all, the one who made the move this time was a powerful human!”
"This raises another question!" Han Li frowned deeply. "Does he know about this other world... or is he a powerful human being?"
He was fairly certain that when Qu Jianlei came here to advance his cultivation level, no one in this other world knew about it.
After all, this world has been in chaos for many years, from the Great War of the Gods to the Land of Fallen Gods—where are there any records of cultivators?
If he is not the master of Mount Ling, then where did this powerful human come from?
I don't know what the experienced female ancestor did, but the next moment, a faint consciousness timidly approached.
However, it then vanished in a flash, as if it had never existed.
"Spider, stop it!" a woman's voice suddenly rang out, sounding very displeased. "Why do you want to eat everything?"
"I...didn't...dare..." the spider finally replied, seemingly getting a little cocky for being able to respond to Taiyuan Hai.
Then the big-headed butterfly started spinning, "It means that it has lost control of its aura, and the realm's consciousness may have a prejudice against it."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but twitch his lips: Why does this feel a bit like a United Nations meeting?
That peculiar organization, though composed entirely of human beings, has a difference in mindset that can be considered cross-species.
Ultimately, the authoritative explanation came from Taiyuan Sea.
She stated that the Boundary Consciousness believes this should be a test of growth—simply put, a sudden disaster.
That powerful human being—whose domain consciousness dared not describe directly, but who had never been seen before—came and immediately began to snatch things.
What's even more outrageous is that it once timidly declared—I have human friends!
That's right, the boundary consciousness revealed Qu Jianlei's aura—something it had secretly preserved.
However, Qu Jianlei's exit from his body was quite a commotion, and he was also caught in a major battle. It wasn't too difficult for him to quietly intercept a bit of his aura.
However, what's outrageous is that... the other party still recklessly seized the foundation of the realm, completely ignoring its display.
Its ultimate goal is: not to seek revenge, but to gradually recuperate and rebuild.
Although it was just a retelling from an experienced driver, Qu Jianlei could sense that the boundary consciousness had left some things unsaid.
When it comes to beings like boundary consciousness, they basically say what they mean, because they have no reason to lie!
Strictly speaking, this existence is less a form of life and more a representation of order.
In most cases, those who advocate "governing by doing nothing" tend to speak in a way that is rather ambiguous.
As Qu Jianlei was pondering what the other person was trying to hide, the woman's voice rang out again, "Don't think about it anymore, the other person doesn't care about you."
"But it really is related to you... Can you guess who it is?"
“It seems… I guessed it,” Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully. “I didn’t expect this person to be so reasonable.”
"I'm just a little curious. We already have clues, miss... can you really tolerate this?"
