Chapter 2747 Indirect Approach (Second Update)
To be honest, True Monarch Kongyu doesn't want to provoke the Haoran Sect, but this matter... is just outrageous!
"Master..." Luo Fu was momentarily dazed. True Lord, are you asking me?
After a pause, she steeled her resolve and said, "It was Master Qing who passed on his teachings across generations, and I volunteered to save the world."
“To save…the collapsing heaven?” Kongyu Zhenjun’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Dare to use the word ‘save’?”
When talking about the disasters that befell the stars, who doesn't call it "the collapse of the heavens"?
To dare to use the word "salvation" is not just arrogance, but utterly courting death... This is a calamity that even a Xuanzun would avoid!
He glanced at the seven people, then at the crouching Spider Lord, and a vague realization dawned on him... No wonder something seemed off!
"It's not 'trying to hold on,' it's 'waiting,'" Han Li hurriedly said, taking out a piece of the world's core and tossing it around, "For this!"
"You're the most dishonest of all!" True Monarch Kongyu snorted. "If you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for bullying the weak!"
This is a formal and legitimate warning!
The next moment, Xiao You also spoke up, "Your Majesty, please calm down. We juniors sometimes speak recklessly in private... isn't that just youth?"
“Yes, I know,” Kongyu Zhenjun nodded in deep agreement, “I didn’t warn you just now!”
“Your Majesty, please be careful,” Han Wei Zhenzun said. “We have been dragged into this, though we had no choice, but fortunately we are only Zhenzun.”
“Hmm, this is interesting,” Kongyu Zhenjun stroked his chin.
The next moment, he chuckled, "So there are two Star-level True Venerables at the boundary entrance... How interesting."
"Why don't you join us?" Qu Jianlei suggested with a smile. "You might just succeed."
“Indeed,” Han Li nodded upon hearing this, “It’s far too presumptuous of several True Venerables to covet the Heavenly Restoration!”
"We are currently in dire need of a Great Khan to oversee things... I'm not lying this time!"
However, at this moment, Kongyu Zhenjun was really in a dilemma—was this team the real deal?
How could he not be afraid of a catastrophe like the collapse of the heavens?
Countless senior cultivators who had reached the Divine Realm avoided him like the plague. What merit did a newly promoted True Lord have to dare to covet him?
"Refuse in the front, then invite in the back!" True Monarch Kongyu was extremely conflicted. "There must be some explanation for this."
Ultimately, he still knew too little about Tianqing; he just intuitively felt that something was wrong.
If it were a seasoned True Lord, he would most likely have given way—after all, it's better to avoid trouble.
However, he was not, and was at an age where he was extremely curious.
In fact, even in the Taiyuan Sea, there had never been any cases of cultivators successfully averting a cataclysmic disaster.
He's already a true man; he's past the age of believing in miracles.
But then again, how many of those powerful beings who have reached this level actually believe in superstition?
However, it would be inappropriate to ask these younger people about this matter again. He nodded and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This person wouldn't want to get involved in saving the day, would they?" Song Yue'er couldn't help but ask.
Even heroes are just ordinary people, and she has now basically mastered some of the skills to cross the line—for example, discussing the king.
As long as you don't address them by their first names and maintain basic respect, it's perfectly fine to chat for a bit with a prince you're close to.
It's not that the Great Khan can't sense it, but... he simply can't be bothered with you.
Of course, if it is mentioned too frequently and annoys the king to no end, then that's another matter.
“Difficult,” Han Li shook his head. “A two-thousand-year-old monarch has plenty of time to seek the Great Dao, why take this risk?”
In the distant void, a figure flickered vaguely.
"Hmph, you're quite the smooth talker... I've been in a state of spiritual existence for two thousand years, not just lived for two thousand years."
“If you refuse, it won’t matter how well you agree,” Han Wei said seriously. “If you fail, it’s inevitable that people will take their anger out on you.”
"Are we afraid of taking our anger out on him?" Han Li's eyes flickered. "If he fails, he may not die on the spot... which means there's no hope of merging."
That makes sense. Even the collapse of the Heavenly Realm is still a long way off. If it can be postponed to twenty or thirty thousand years from now, the True Lord should be old enough to die peacefully.
"Anyway, let's try to dissuade them first. If they don't listen, having another high-level combatant is not bad either."
“Yes, yes, if you can’t stop them, then don’t,” Xiaoyou nodded. “This is a difficult situation, let’s not get into trouble. Just pretend to stop them for a bit.”
"Who the hell trained these people?" Kong Yu was so angry her nose almost twisted.
Baiqiao and Jingge completed the procedures for the fifth-order spiritual vein in two days.
This speed is astonishing. Besides the abundance of resources in the Zhongling Realm, the attention of True Monarch Kongyu is also a crucial factor.
After completing the formalities, there are still matters such as boundary demarcation and construction, but with the people brought by Baiqiao, the True Venerables don't need to worry about them.
With nothing to do and the Yihui area sparsely populated, people inevitably decided to go for a stroll.
To be honest, Zhong Ling truly lives up to her name. Not only does she possess a great many rare treasures, but she also experiences very little conflict and leads an exceptionally leisurely life.
Cultivators from outside the area may feel somewhat out of place, but most of the time, no one pays them any attention.
When everyone goes out together, Qu Zhenzun's body usually becomes a bit ethereal, and he doesn't pay much attention to most of the resources.
However, the others were used to it, knowing that he liked to study things, and having just obtained the Great Khan's insights, he had to study them.
Compared to their leisurely pace, Lian Xing and the other two True Venerables were getting a little bored waiting outside the passage.
As the two were wondering when Qu Zhenzun and the others would come out, a ripple appeared at the entrance of the passage, revealing two figures.
The arrival was none other than the Black and White True Venerables. The two approached Lianxing True Venerable and asked, "Are you two waiting for Qu True Venerable who can save the world?"
She Niu Zhenzun paused for a moment, then replied calmly, "Fellow Daoist dares to approach, your courage is commendable. May I ask your name?"
“You must be the True Venerable of Wu’an,” the Black-faced True Venerable nodded slightly. “I’ve heard True Venerable Qu mention you.”
The two True Venerables exchanged a glance as if nothing had happened, and True Venerable Sheniu continued to answer.
“We are waiting for that team. Lian Xing is having some issues and needs their help and advice.”
Trying to get information out of him is not so easy. Over the years, even Star Cultivators have been traveling around and have encountered countless things.
They wouldn't easily reveal even the three words "to save the world from collapse."
Think back to when the withered Venerable met the Qu Venerable, what did he say? He just said something nonsensical like "saving the heavens"!
The phrase “挽天倾” was completed by Xiaoyou.
Why such caution? Because this matter is of utmost importance, and the world is never short of people with ulterior motives.
To put it simply, who would have thought that True Lord Yuji would attack Seven Leaves, who had just been distracted?
Let alone harming others for personal gain, there are still people who do things that harm others without benefiting themselves.
Even a cultivator of the Star Realm cannot hide the matter of the collapsing heavens, but how could someone who can save the heavens from collapsing possibly reveal it so easily?
Qu Zhenzun had never referred to himself as "Wu An Zhenzun"; it was his code name—She Niu!
She Niu Zhen Zun thought the code name was pretty good, at least it affirmed his social skills.
Now that someone is calling him by his title, that means... something's up!
The Black and White True Venerables were obviously just trying to get information out of him; otherwise, they would have politely declined to answer.
But there's no way around it, Lord Kongyu absolutely cannot come in person—some things, once you're attached to them, you can't get rid of them!
However, although the two True Venerables Lian Xing were secretly on guard, it was not of much use.
Although they kept their mouths shut and acted very naturally, they couldn't hide the fact that the Black and White True Venerables had come with a purpose!
Putting aside everything else, cultivators from Lianxing should at least be a little more enthusiastic when someone asks about the collapse of the heavens, right?
How do you explain this slightly distant feeling, and this subtle wariness...?
The simple reason of "being cautious in the world of martial arts" is probably not enough, is it?
The four chatted casually for half an hour before Black and White True Venerable took his leave.
She Niu Zhen Zun couldn't help but sigh, "I'm a little too tired to talk anymore! Sigh, I'm so exhausted!"
Qu Zhenzun and the others wandered around for more than half a month before the quiet young lady finally showed up and announced, "We're back."
Then she added, "Kongyu recruited you, but didn't even bother to get a fifth-tier spiritual vein, really..."
So, although the young lady went to find True Lord Mi'er, she still left a wisp of her will behind.
However, intention is only for emergencies; if it is too weak, actively communicating with them would be easily detected.
"Aren't you afraid of the consequences?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback. "Is it so easy to take advantage of the Great Lord?"
“He wants to create karma with you,” the young woman replied nonchalantly. “As long as you don’t take it for free, it won’t be hard labor.”
"You already have so many troubles, do you really need this much?"
These words are truly… Qu Jianlei gave a bitter smile and sighed, “There’s also the cause and effect of Tianqiao.”
"You said so much, is he scared?" the young woman replied casually. "But you said a bit too much."
"I've noticed that too," Qu Jianlei said, having just received a favor from Kongyu Zhenjun, so he didn't say anything more.
"Is there any progress on that Stardew World?"
"We'll talk about it later," the young woman said, reluctant to elaborate. "How much longer do you plan to stay?"
"Let's see what Baiqiao means," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "Anyway, if I want to come again next time, I'll be able to get an invitation."
According to the rules of the Spirit Realm, any force that possesses a fifth-order spiritual vein and has been operating for more than a hundred years is qualified to issue invitations to others.
After all, we can't have Zhenjun make the appearance for every invitation—that's just too much of a waste of his time.
Within a century, Kong Yu's subordinate True Venerable also stated that they could handle any needs these seven might have.
Ultimately, it was the Great Khan's high regard that made their treatment different.
However, the other True Venerables of Houde—including those under the Lingyun Sect—do not enjoy this preferential treatment.
As for Baiqiao's work on the spiritual veins, it will probably take about another month.
He will leave a clone behind to oversee things and return with everyone.
However, just as he was about to leave, on this very day, True Lord Kongyu appeared.
Beside him was a dusty, gray stick with one end sharpened.
But it cannot be called a gun; it is just a sharpened stick.
What's remarkable is that this stick itself also exudes the aura of a Great Lord.
