Chapter 2860 Time Waits for No One
Taiyuan Hai was a little worried about Qu Jianlei, so he spoke up to warn him.
But the old woman didn't take it seriously. At this moment, she had transformed into a Möbius strip again to cope with the chaotic environment.
"The danger of Dao transformation is unavoidable. Everyone who tries to break through the realm after the fusion process must pass this test... Even the split spirit may encounter it."
"The great path is inherently ruthless; one should proceed with caution."
She is on the verge of achieving union, so her feelings naturally carry considerable authority.
"I'm just giving you a hint," the young woman said, her tone still somewhat heavy, "The aura of destiny emanating from him is too strong!"
"Actually, it's a good thing," said True Monarch Qiye. "Others have to work hard to collect and comprehend it."
“But he also has destiny, time, birth and death…” The young lady’s words stopped abruptly halfway through.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
For any cultivator to be able to touch upon even one of these great paths is a significant opportunity, and can also lay the foundation for their path.
However, having so much Dao intent attached to you is not necessarily a good thing—first of all, it makes advancement more difficult.
Everyone wants to be a well-rounded warrior; however, setting aside the time required for training, the resources available in all aspects are a major problem.
In particular, when one is entangled with many Daoist intentions, one must not only guard against Daoization, but also guard against potential conflicts between these Daoist intentions.
At this moment, the Dao of Destiny was surging forth from Qu Zhenzun's body, far surpassing the previous tempering by the Creation...
However, he didn't mind, and just replied with a smile, "I haven't been distracted yet. Thinking about merging... that's a bit too ambitious."
After deciding to abandon the Daoist stele, his temperament underwent a subtle change.
Previously, he had not only considered merging with another entity, but also considered things beyond that, planning far ahead.
He also has a team to manage and collect various resources, so he always feels that time is tight and the pressure is great.
But now, he is much more at peace. He believes in taking things one step at a time.
It's good to have a long-term vision, but you should walk your path steadily. Don't worry too much about unexpected gains and losses.
Even if the sky collapses, you can still give up the Dao Stele. Between gains and losses... as long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough!
Finally, someone spoke up; it was the High Priest, "Between the Dao Stele and the Ritual Implements..."
The Dao Stele was rising too fast, forcing even the giant axe to move away.
At the same time, the giant axe was also growing larger and kept flashing, annihilating all kinds of negative energy.
The Dao Stele cannot completely absorb all high-dimensional elements. When it is repairing itself, it vaguely shows signs of suppressing other elements.
The giant axe, on the other hand, works in conjunction with it to obliterate many other energies.
Generally speaking, the two cooperate with each other, working together to eliminate most of the gushing energy.
The remaining energy is mostly low-dimensional energy, and it will most likely be assimilated in the future.
These are all superficial observations. What the Great Shaman is saying is that he believes the giant axe and the stele play at least similar roles.
However, at present, ritual objects are clearly in a subordinate position, which makes him somewhat resentful.
He did not believe that the Dao Stele was the main force resisting this eruption—it selectively absorbed the energy, primarily to repair itself.
The real way to maintain order in lower dimensions is to annihilate those energies with a giant axe.
Qu Jianlei could only smile upon hearing this, "Senior, you're getting a little too involved. I wouldn't dare to inquire about those two."
This eruption lasted for half a month, and towards the end, the energy output was rapidly decreasing.
It still felt the same way, coming and going quickly, not like a completely natural celestial phenomenon, but not entirely a magical technique either.
Because the entire Void Swarm was completely wiped out by the surging, violent energy in the very first instant.
When the surging energy completely stopped, the phantom of the Dao Stele also vanished instantly.
“It seems to be recovering quite well,” said Jiuping Zhenjun first. “With another twenty to fifty swarms, it should be about right.”
The process of repairing the Dao Stele was very slow, but this wave of absorption was incredibly satisfying.
In particular, Qu Zhenzun steeled his heart and released its projection.
This not only reduced his pressure and greatly improved his absorption efficiency, but more importantly, the change in the form of the Dao stele was seen by everyone.
Nine Screens True Lord was very confident in his estimation ability—not divination, since no one dared to divine the Dao Stele, he was just good at estimation.
He could analyze the estimations that Qu Zhenzun and others were unsure of with great precision, and he was not afraid to state them openly.
Okay, twenty to fifty times, that's a lot of flexibility, but he believes that others can't even estimate that.
"Brother Dao is amazing!" True Monarch Qiye praised first, then asked, "Is it completely repaired?"
"Roughly, just roughly," Nine Screens True Monarch replied. "The real challenge in perfectly restoring this kind of treasure will likely be in the later stages."
That's not hard to understand, but what troubled Bo Ping Zhenjun was, "Twenty of these special Void Shepherds?"
It wasn't that he was unwilling to put in the hard work, but when he thought about how even a dignified Xuanzun like Senior Heng only produced two coordinates, he felt utterly hopeless!
Jingzu suddenly spoke up, "With our resources, it would take at least ten thousand years to find twenty!"
"Hmm?" The young lady became interested upon hearing this. "More than a dozen True Lords, and you still have to search for ten thousand years... What exactly have you been through?"
Crystal Ancestor did not answer, but the human head snorted coldly, "Even 100,000 years might not be enough... First, there must be that many insect swarms."
There is no doubt that she has a good understanding of Senior Heng's abilities and temperament, which is why she made this judgment.
Of course, this is also to uphold Xiao Heng's dignity, and it's something she has to do.
The old woman, shaped like a Möbius strip, remained silent.
"Take down the other Void Shepherd, then return to Lianxing!" Qu Zhenzun made the decision, not in a tone of discussion.
"Hmm?" The head was a little surprised upon hearing this. "This might not be enough to resist the Heavenly Collapse. Don't think that this is very strong..."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior," Qu Jianlei replied calmly. "I know."
"Then why weren't we prepared more thoroughly?" Wen Shi Zhenjun was also anxious. "Xiao Qu, that's the sky collapsing!"
“Don’t worry about me,” the Möbius strip finally spoke up. “Even the Ancestral Witches were able to withstand the collapse of the heavens and perish. I am just a fragment of a god.”
“That’s not what I meant,” Qu Jianlei didn’t want to explicitly state his attitude towards the Dao Stele—what if he could keep it in his possession?
He said calmly, "The more prepared we are, the more severe the collapse will be... By the time you are ready, your opponent will be even stronger."
“That makes sense!” Qi Ye clearly supported him. “Don’t worry about whether you’re at your peak or not; the key is not to give your opponent any opportunities!”
He had chased after his enemies countless times while wounded, and he understood this principle well!
“But the Dao Stele… is dangerous,” Kan Shui Zhenjun said hesitantly, noting that its scale was indeed a little too small.
Although the Dao Stele doesn't belong to it, it only doesn't belong to it at the moment. As long as the Dao Stele exists, there's something to look forward to, isn't there?
At the very least, it knows who has it now, right?
"I've already mastered the knack of fixing it," Qu Jianlei said, naturally not going to explain much more.
"Alright then, at worst, it'll just be ruined!" They're really willing to risk their lives, their support is top-notch.
However, in the end, she added, "I don't believe such a treasure can be destroyed by a mere Heavenly Collapse!"
The many True Lords looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke—with the Dao Stele tilting towards the sky, who would be stronger?
If they were all at their peak, most True Lords would still be willing to gamble on the Dao Stele.
Even disregarding biases and positions, shouldn't it at least be a 50/50 split?
However, the current state of the Dao Stele is... well, it's hard to describe!
However, since the owner of the Dao Stele doesn't care right now, everyone... should just go along with it!
On the way to the next coordinate, the human head secretly sent a divine message to Qu Zhenzun, "Are you really willing to give it up?"
Xiao Qu had previously promised to give her the Dao Stele after the matter was over, but she hadn't agreed.
But based on this alone, Thunderbolt Monarch understood that the little guy had probably already decided... to go all out.
However, she wasn't surprised, because she grew up in the Haoran Sect... and many of those people were like that.
Even the finest treasures—it's one thing to fight over them, but when it comes to using them, there's absolutely no room for hesitation.
"It's nothing, right?" Qu Jianlei replied calmly. "How many people are there in Lianxing?"
He was born in the Blue Star Divine Continent. Even though there is a world of difference between cultivators and mortals, he always had the idea of "people-oriented" in his heart.
Unlike those at Xida University, which "use people as tools"!
"You're really going all out?" Ren Tou was taken aback. Most of her questions were indeed tests!
This was quite unexpected for her. Hao Ran's disciples were indeed arrogant and crazy, but could they be crazy to this extent?
"Stop your nagging," another divine sense intervened; it was the old woman.
After making her decision, Xiao Qu kept trying to find out the truth, so she never stopped observing.
At this point, she really couldn't take it anymore. "Shut up now, and we can still be friends. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving that person any face!"
She had already decided to lie down and didn't urge me at all; all the subsequent decisions were made by Xiao Qu.
At this point, someone wants to cause trouble... No one's face matters!
"Tch," the man scoffed dismissively, but didn't say anything more.
Their conversation was clearly perceived by others' divine senses.
For the rest of the journey, no one said anything more about the question, no matter how curious they were.
Upon arriving at the second coordinate, facing a similar Void Priest, the group did not make the same battle plan as before.
They chose a steady and methodical approach, suppressing the enemy comprehensively and attacking them bit by bit.
Such opportunities are so rare that everyone wants to learn more about this type of ethnic group.
The Möbius strip also supports this decision.
Her awareness was actually quite high: even if she failed to save the day this time, she could gain experience to continue.
As expected, this step-by-step tactic encountered quite strong resistance.
