Chapters 2685–2709 Vol. 27 Read

Ch. 2685Same Origin

Qu Jianlei and his companions followed clues about the heavenly devils to Qiuzhen Realm, where they discovered a likely route through the Vortex Clouds. They set out to investigate and approached the realm’s wary cultivators, leaving True Venerable Fuhua to sense their arrival.

  • Han Li reported that the World Envoy knew nothing about the heavenly devils, so Qu Jianlei decided to wait for the Creation Compass to guide them.
  • After three months, Qingkong returned with a group carrying an aura that matched the sealed devil qi, and the six decided to investigate Qiuzhen Realm.
  • The group traveled for half a year to Qiuzhen Realm and found Human Race cultivators guarding its passage alongside nearby Heavenly Devil Qi.
  • Qu Jianlei and Qingkong divined that the Heavenly Devils had come through the Vortex Clouds, and Xiaoyou sensed they shared the same origin.
  • Qu Jianlei chose to approach the Qiuzhen Realm cultivators before entering the Vortex Clouds, while True Venerable Fuhua sensed someone nearby and demanded to know who was there.

Ch. 2686A Mess of Feathers

True Venerable Xiwu and her companions arrived in Qiuzhen Realm to settle karma and enter the Vortex Clouds to fight the Heavenly Devils. After the Spider’s Great Monarch status prompted the local True Venerables to cooperate, Qu Jianlei challenged their motives and demanded assurances that they would not oppose the outsiders.

  • True Venerable Xiwu told True Venerable Fuhua that her group had come to settle karma, and Fuhua changed from hostile to eager to cooperate after sensing the Spider’s Great Monarch aura.
  • Fuhua summoned the other four incense True Venerables, who gathered at the Channel Entrance and learned that the visitors planned to enter the Vortex Clouds.
  • True Venerable Yanqi explained that Qiuzhen Realm’s five Human Race True Venerables and roughly twenty Out-of-Body Heavenly Devils had maintained a fragile stalemate.
  • Qu Jianlei said he feared the local True Venerables relied on the Heavenly Devils to sustain their incense, and he warned that his group would not tolerate hostility while fighting them.
  • Yanqi denied that the situation was so simple and said people of the same race would still fight over incense even without external enemies.

Ch. 2687Mountain Felling

Qu Jianlei and his companions secured the Qiuzhen Realm True Venerables’ agreement not to interfere in their revenge against the Heavenly Demons, then prepared to attack a concealed Heavenly Demon Middle Thousand World through the Vortex Clouds. The Mountain-Felling Great Array’s first strikes made the Vortex Clouds shake and begin expanding, leaving the group to see what the next attacks would cause.

  • Han Li pressured the Qiuzhen Realm True Venerables to promise they would not interfere, and Qu Jianlei revealed that their mission was to seek revenge on Heavenly Demons of the same source.
  • After learning that the target was a concealed Heavenly Demon Middle Thousand World, Qu Jianlei and Han Li prepared to attack through the Vortex Clouds.
  • Qu Jianlei set up a Mountain-Felling Great Array while the Five True Venerables watched and questioned the risks of disturbing the Vortex Clouds.
  • Qu Jianlei activated the array, and its first two attacks made the Vortex Clouds tremble before the second strike caused them to shake violently and start expanding.
  • The array launched a third, narrower beam into the Vortex Clouds.

Ch. 2688Surging

Qu Jianlei and the True Venerables contained the surging Heavenly Devil Qi until Qingkong's Five-Colored Butterfly absorbed it and opened a path through the Vortex Clouds. The six True Venerables entered the gap, while the Incense Fire Five remained behind to guard the formation.

  • Qu Jianlei activated the Lockdown Array to restrain the churning Vortex Clouds, but the Spider Grand Monarch and Creation Compass refused to absorb the damaged Heavenly Devil Qi.
  • True Venerable Xiwu entered the array and used her Array Plates to guide the Heavenly Devil Qi into an Illusion Array, keeping it contained for several days.
  • Xiaoyou said the Devil Qi had become more regular, and Han Li urged the group to charge through rather than keep divining.
  • Qingkong sent the Five-Colored Butterfly through the gap, and it rapidly absorbed the Devil Qi and chaotic energy, revealing a hole seventy to eighty kilometers wide.
  • The six True Venerables entered the opening, while Kunxiu and the other Incense Fire True Venerables stayed behind to guard the Lockdown Array.

Ch. 2689Chaos Arises (First update to celebrate Guild Leader "Xinming")

Qu Jianlei and the other True Venerables entered a strange Heavenly Devil Middle Thousand World, killed its Out-of-Body Heavenly Demons, and considered how to investigate or claim the world. With its strongest demons gone, the realm descended into infighting.

  • True Venerable Xiwu dispelled an illusion that concealed countless Devil Qi Clusters, and Han Li froze them while True Venerable Qigou used his Setting Sun Divine Ability to kill the demons over five days.
  • Qu Jianlei and the others left the area around the hole and discussed the world’s strange Boundary Membrane, its many holes, and the possibility of collecting it.
  • The six True Venerables formed three teams and silently killed the Out-of-Body Heavenly Devils throughout the realm.
  • Qu Jianlei and Han Li stopped the group from immediately wiping out the remaining demons so they could investigate what lay beyond the countless holes.

Ch. 2690The Shepherd

Qu Jianlei and the other True Venerables investigated a strange, hole-riddled world, rescued demon-corrupted Humans, and began severing the world from its many connections so they could take it away. The operation proceeded smoothly until a river of giant gray beetles passed by, and Qu Jianlei learned that the Void Herder was more than a race to avoid.

  • Qu Jianlei and Han Li found Humans raised and demonized by heavenly devils, and Qu Jianlei began purifying and sheltering those he could save.
  • The True Venerables decided to sever the strange Middle Thousand World, informed the Qiuzhen cultivators, and took the rescued Humans with them after Qiuzhen refused to shelter them.
  • Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Xiaoyou planned the operation, then took turns severing the world's connections while Qingkong, Spider Grand Monarch, Xiwu, and the dog rider supported them.
  • After six months of progress, a river of giant gray beetles approached, and a mysterious voice ordered it away from the world.
  • Han Li recognized the river as the Void Herder, and Qu Jianlei learned from the mysterious voice that the Void Herder could communicate and was harder to fight than a Star Swallowing Beast.

Ch. 2691The Sun (First update, Happy New Year's Day)

Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Xiaoyou faced a coordinated assault by hundreds of Heavenly Devil Qi clusters while Xiaoyou continued cutting apart the realm. After Xiwu and True Venerable Qigou arrived to support them, Han Li unleashed the full range of his Extreme Cold Field and Qu Jianlei began a powerful technique, leaving the battle at the moment a sun-bright light filled the domain.

  • Qu Jianlei and Han Li prepared to defend Xiaoyou when hundreds of Heavenly Devil Qi clusters emerged from three breaches and surrounded them.
  • Han Li used his Extreme Cold Field to freeze probing attacks, then contracted the field as stronger devils joined the assault.

Ch. 2692Each Showing Their Skills (Second Update)

Qu Jianlei used a newly developed Light Art to weaken the Heavenly Demons without disrupting Han Li’s Extreme Cold Field. As they prepared to deploy Mohong and the Ritual Artifact, Spider Grand Monarch and the blade clashed over which demons to target, then agreed to divide them between themselves.

  • True Venerable Xiwu explained that Qu Jianlei’s Cold Flame differed from True Venerable Qigou’s Dusk ability and did not interfere with Han Li’s Extreme Cold Field.
  • Qu Jianlei told Han Li he had developed the Light Art by drawing on his past Light Arts research and testing ways to remove devil qi from demonized people.
  • Qu Jianlei’s light melted weaker Devil Qi Clusters, while Han Li told True Venerable Qigou to sweep the battlefield’s edges and asked True Venerable Xiwu to wait.

  • Spider Grand Monarch demanded the three strongest Heavenly Demons, but Qu Jianlei told it to share the targets with Mohong.
  • Spider Grand Monarch and Mohong confronted each other until Spider Grand Monarch agreed to take half the Heavenly Demons, leaving the other half to Mohong.

Ch. 2693What Does Half Mean?

Qu Jianlei and his allies battled the Heavenly Demons with the Ritual Artifact, Jinghong, the Giant Axe, and illusions created by Xiwu. After the Spider Grand Monarch devoured five Out-of-Body Heavenly Demons, the Divine Weapons were left to finish off the rest, though eliminating their scattered avatars could take a long time.

  • Qu Jianlei arranged for the Ritual Artifact and Jinghong to cooperate with the Giant Axe against the Heavenly Demons, while the Spider Grand Monarch claimed its share of the kills.
  • The Spider Grand Monarch devoured an Out-of-Body Heavenly Demon and pulled in its scattered avatars through their causal connections.
  • Qu Jianlei and Han Li called on Xiwu, whose illusions and the Spider Grand Monarch's illusions threw the fleeing Heavenly Demons into confusion.
  • Over three days, the Spider Grand Monarch swallowed five Out-of-Body Heavenly Demons before declaring itself full and leaving the rest to the Divine Weapons.
  • The Violent Obsession told Qu Jianlei that the Ritual Artifact and Jinghong could kill the remaining Out-of-Body Heavenly Demons, but dealing with their avatars would be difficult and time-consuming.

Ch. 2694The Scent Reappears

Qu Jianlei and the others intensified their assault on the Heavenly Demons while the mysterious voice revealed that it had roughly located a hidden threat. The Creation Compass sensed danger and refused to attack, so Qu Jianlei ordered the group to strengthen their defenses and leave within three months.

  • Qu Jianlei sent True Venerable Qingkong into the field, where his Five-Colored Butterfly drew in the black devil qi, while True Venerable Qigou dealt with Devil Qi Clusters inside the domain.
  • Jinghong and the Divine Weapons increased their attacks on the Out-of-Body Heavenly Demons, and Xiaoyou continued cutting the world apart instead of joining the hunt.
  • After Jinghong killed another Out-of-Body Heavenly Demon, the mysterious voice told Qu Jianlei it had roughly locked onto a hidden target and warned him not to reveal the discovery.
  • The Creation Compass circled at Qu Jianlei's brow but refused to attack, leading him to suspect that it had sensed danger.
  • Qu Jianlei urged the group to speed up the cutting and leave within three months, while the Giant Axe and Black Blade sharply increased their attacks.

Ch. 2695Demonic Means

Han Li, Qu Jianlei, and their allies finished eradicating the Heavenly Demons and began compressing the battered Middle Thousand World for removal. After several months of exhausting work and rotations, the Qiuzhen World’s True Venerables arrived, but Xiwu refused Fuhua’s request to travel with them.

  • Giant Axe and Black Blade fought without regard for the karma of the Out-of-Body Heavenly Demon avatars, and the group exterminated the Heavenly Demons over the following three days.
  • The group spent two and a half months cutting the domain loose, and Taiyuan Sea absorbed its scattered demonic qi to cleanse it.
  • Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Xiaoyou joined forces to compress the Middle Thousand World with a Starry Sky Three Powers Array, while Qingkong, Qigou, and Xiwu watched.
  • After two months, Qu Jianlei, Xiaoyou, and Han Li rotated out, and the Spider Grand Monarch, Qigou, Qingkong, and Xiwu took over their positions.
  • Xiwu and Qigou helped pacify the demonic disaster in the Qiuzhen World after the passage was severed, and the Incense Fire Five True Venerables arrived to observe the world’s compression.
  • Fuhua asked to travel with the group, but Xiwu refused and told the Qiuzhen World’s True Venerables to conduct themselves properly.

Ch. 2696Drag

Qu Jianlei and the five True Venerables transported the compressed Lianxing World toward Yuxiu World, a restricted domain designed to exclude Human Race cultivators. They waited outside while Taiyuan Sea sensed for an ally’s arrangements, and Han Li questioned whether the natives could truly guard the entire world.

  • True Venerable Kunxiu confronted True Venerable Qigou about his connection to Lianxing World’s calamity, and Qu Jianlei asked the Qiuzhen World True Venerables to report any signs of Heavenly Demons or nearby disturbances to Houde Realm.
  • The six True Venerables found they could not store the compressed world, so the Spider Grand Monarch used its phantom and silk to drag it through the void.
  • Taiyuan Sea guided the group to Yuxiu World, where Xiwu recognized the domain and Xiaoyou explained that it was a restricted area guarded against Human Race cultivators.
  • Qu Jianlei told the others to wait while Taiyuan Sea sensed for arrangements, and Xiaoyou warned that Yuxiu World might contain traps.
  • Han Li questioned whether Yuxiu World’s natives could guard such a vast domain.

Ch. 2697Chapter 2689

Han Li and the others watched Yuxiu World from hiding and debated whether Primordial Purple Qi could come from higher dimensions. A Grand Lord discovered them and accused them of spying, while Qingkong defiantly challenged his authority.

  • Xiaoyou warned that the half-visible Great Monarch might have set a trap, and Qigou said the group had no grounds to seek help from beings above Mysterious Venerables.
  • Taiyuan Sea explained how a Great Monarch might conceal his aura, while the others waited in the Space Interlayer near Yuxiu World.
  • Han Li, Xiaoyou, Qingkong, Xiwu, and Qigou discussed whether Primordial Purple Qi had a higher-dimensional origin and whether it might exist in Yuxiu World.
  • Taiyuan Sea warned everyone to leave, but a Grand Lord's divine sense appeared and accused them of spying on the Yuxiu Immortal Realm.
  • Qingkong argued that they had only observed the realm and refused to accept the Grand Lord's claim of unquestionable superiority.

Ch. 2698Greed?

Qu Jianlei’s group was confronted by Yuxiu World’s Grand Lords, who discovered their presence through the group’s greed and the Middle Thousand World they carried. The Grand Lords demanded that they leave, but Taiyuan Sea refused and challenged them to guess why the group had come.

  • A Yuxiu Grand Monarch threatened Qingkong and Han Li, while the Spider revealed its own Great Monarch aura and objected to Yuxiu’s treatment of non-Human Race cultivators.
  • The Grand Monarch explained that it had detected the group’s greed and the karma of the enormous world they were carrying; Han Li identified the realm’s karma as the likely cause.
  • Mysterious Voice pointed out that the Middle Thousand World had just been cleared of Heavenly Devil Qi, and Taiyuan Sea appeared as a second Grand Lord clone.
  • A Yuxiu Grand Lord recognized True Venerable Qigou as being from Lianxing World, and Taiyuan Sea baited it by suggesting it cared about Lianxing World.

Ch. 2699Chapter 2691

Qu Jianlei and Taiyuan Sea negotiated with Yuxiu’s Great Monarchs to investigate the person who had lured them to the world, and Taiyuan Sea later forced True Monarch Kanshui to escort their group. As they traveled through the Space Interlayer, Kanshui challenged the group’s strength, but Taiyuan Sea turned the criticism back on Kanshui.

  • Qu Jianlei explained that the group had followed the aura of a person with a nearly exhausted lifespan, and the Yuxiu Great Monarchs realized they had been misdirected.
  • Taiyuan Sea demanded permission to enter Yuxiu World; after Han Li warned Qu Jianlei not to go, Taiyuan Sea entered alone and returned two and a half days later, declaring the place a trap.
  • Taiyuan Sea arranged for True Monarch Kanshui to escort the group, and the group left Yuxiu World through the Space Interlayer.
  • Kanshui told True Venerable Qigou to keep away and backed down when Taiyuan Sea warned it about the spider’s karma.

Ch. 2700False Dao Intent

Qu Jianlei and the others debated True Monarch Kanshui over Dao Discussions and the price of sharing their knowledge. When Kanshui sought details of Qu Jianlei’s lecture, Han Li revealed that it concerned the True Meaning of Fate, and Miss led the group onward rather than returning to Houde.

  • Han Li praised Taiyuan Sea’s history of Dao Discussions, prompting True Monarch Kanshui to ask about Qu Jianlei’s lecture.
  • True Monarch Kanshui offered Creation or Essence of Creation and Destruction for the lecture details, but Miss demanded Dao intent instead.
  • Miss briefly showed Creation Dao intent, and True Monarch Kanshui admitted it had not brought any Dao intent with it.
  • Miss explained that True Monarch Dao Discussions could involve dangerous clashes and costly damage to Taiyuan Sea, while Qingkong confirmed the sect had records of such incidents.

  • When True Monarch Kanshui again asked what Qu Jianlei had lectured on, Han Li answered that it was the True Meaning of Fate.

Ch. 2701What a Loss

Han Li explained how the True Meaning of Fate could be obtained and discussed the Great Monarch the group was pursuing with True Monarch Kanshui. After the mysterious voice detected their quarry changing direction, she ordered everyone to flee the Space Interlayer, leaving Spider lamenting that it could not abandon the Middle Thousand World it was dragging.

  • True Monarch Kanshui questioned Han Li about preserving the True Meaning of Fate, and Han Li revealed that refining a World Core could produce it.
  • Han Li clarified that the Great Monarch they were tracking had incited Heavenly Demons to infiltrate True Venerable Buduo's world.
  • True Monarch Kanshui said it would still act against the Great Monarch, though it wanted to understand why he was nearing the end of his lifespan.
  • After half a month of pursuit, the mysterious voice said their target had changed direction, and Qu Jianlei warned the group to watch for traps.
  • Two days later, the mysterious voice ordered everyone to leave the Space Interlayer and run, but Spider could not easily abandon the Middle Thousand World it was dragging.

Ch. 2702Versailles

Qu Jianlei and the other True Venerables escaped a trap while dragging a Middle Thousand World out of the Space Sub-layer, and Taiyuan Sea debated whether they could locate the enemy who set it. The spider then called someone “True Monarch Wukong,” leaving the group stunned.

  • The True Venerables fled the Space Sub-layer as the spider borrowed Qu Jianlei’s strength to drag the Middle Thousand World out.
  • Qu Jianlei sent an Asura Secondary Nest to delay the shockwave, and Han Li arrived with the Palace to help him and the world escape.
  • The spider returned the borrowed spiritual energy, but Qu Jianlei rejected it to avoid the Incense Divinity Path’s aura.
  • After the group regrouped, Miss revealed that the enemy’s trap could have taken down a Great Monarch, while Taiyuan Sea and True Monarch Kanshui argued over the danger.
  • The spider addressed someone as “True Monarch Wukong,” stunning the True Venerables and making True Venerable Xiwu laugh.

Ch. 2703The Power of a Nickname

Qu Jianlei and Big Head Butterfly mocked True Monarch Kanshui with nicknames, while Taiyuan Sea’s warning led the group to discover an enemy’s deadly void ambush. The group survived the trap and prepared to pursue the attacker, with Xiaoyou promising to mediate if Kanshui could track them down.

  • Qu Jianlei and Big Head Butterfly joked about nicknames for True Monarch Kanshui, and Miss helped spread the names Wukong and Liufeng.

  • The group reached a hidden void point detonated by the enemy, whose violent spatial ripples threatened to kill them.
  • Han Li and Xiaoyou condemned the attack, and Xiaoyou promised to mediate over the group’s mockery if Kanshui tracked down the attacker.
  • True Venerable Qingkong calmly asked which direction the group should flee.

Ch. 2704Water Mirror Divine Ability

After escaping the spatial storm, Qu Jianlei’s group gathered traces to investigate the Spirit Severing Grand Lord behind the ambush and returned to Houde. Qu Jianlei checked on the ongoing breakthroughs, then heard how a Lizardman civilization had repeatedly collapsed and restarted.

  • Taiyuan Sea led the group away from the spatial storm, and Qu Jianlei’s Legion-Class Battleship helped shield them from its edge.
  • After recovering, Qu Jianlei’s group agreed to help True Monarch Kanshui conceal his efforts to investigate the ambusher, a process expected to take about twenty years.
  • The group returned to Houde, where Lingyun Sect invited True Monarch Kanshui; Qu Jianlei then checked on Duo Gan and Jing Yuexin’s preparations to break through.
  • Jin Ge and Song Yue'er reported that a Lizardman civilization had followed the Tech-Side path and restarted three or four times.

Ch. 2705Between Gain and Loss

Qu Jianlei weighed whether to visit the declining Tech-Side Lizardmen world and asked True Monarch Kanshui to investigate whether it offered a chance to help Lianxing World. True Monarch Kanshui bargained for the new path to the Out-of-Body Realm, leaving their agreement unresolved.

  • Jin Ge and Song Yue'er described how spiritual energy had withered in the Tech-Side Lizardmen world and showed Qu Jianlei its technology-cultivation devices.
  • Qu Jianlei accepted some devices to study but hesitated to visit the world, so he sent Jin Ge to summon True Monarch Kanshui.

  • True Monarch Kanshui asked Qu Jianlei to explain his new path to the Out-of-Body Realm as the price for helping him.

Ch. 2706Treasures Move the Heart

Qu Jianlei brought True Monarch Kanshui to assess the connection between a world and Saving the Heavens from Tilting, but the odds proved too low to pursue. Kanshui’s curiosity about Han Li’s stolen Palace raised suspicion, and Qu Jianlei took custody of it before the group returned to the Channel Entrance.

  • True Monarch Kanshui agreed to help Qu Jianlei investigate the heavens-tilting aura but refused to visit the Void Passage's Channel Entrance at first.
  • Qu Jianlei persuaded Kanshui to accompany him, and they went with Han Li to meet True Venerable Qigou and examine the aura inside the Palace.
  • Kanshui calculated that the Lizardman world had only a 2.4-thousandths connection to Saving the Heavens from Tilting, so Qu Jianlei decided not to pursue it.
  • Kanshui offered to shine its power over Qu Jianlei, but he refused, and Taiyuan Sea accused Kanshui of snooping around Han Li’s Palace.
  • Han Li handed the Palace to Qu Jianlei for safekeeping, and the group returned to the Channel Entrance, where Xiaoyou asked whether they had learned anything.

Ch. 2707The Wonderful Use of Time

Xiaoyou asked True Monarch Kanshui to investigate whether the fusion-system world where Han Wei and Yueran were injured was connected to the Heavens tilting. True Monarch Kanshui found only a very slight possibility, leaving Xiaoyou with little reason to pursue that world.

  • Xiaoyou told Qu Jianlei to examine the world Han Wei and Yueran had explored, where they were injured during an attack and escaped with Social Butterfly True Venerable’s help.
  • Qu Jianlei used a Compass to divine the world but could not determine whether its system was stronger than the Lizardman world or whether it mattered to the Heavens tilting.
  • Xiaoyou offered True Monarch Kanshui a jar of five-thousand-year Ten Thousand Flower Honey in exchange for investigating the world.
  • Han Li told Qu Jianlei that True Monarch Kanshui seemed wary of him and did not dare perceive him without permission.
  • True Monarch Kanshui judged the world unsuitable, giving its chance of connection as one point nine per thousand, then accepted Xiaoyou’s honey and noticed it had been used to practice a Time Divine Ability.

Ch. 2708Self-Recommendation

Qu Jianlei learned that Jin Ge and Song Yue'er had discovered a martial world with ties to other realms, but he postponed investigating it until his companions could break through. True Monarch Kanshui agreed to assess the world’s connection, while Qu Jianlei chose not to use its Water Mirror to predict the fates of his subordinates.

  • Xiaoyou’s honey gift was revealed to have been aged with her Years Divine Ability, and True Monarch Kanshui accepted it as roughly five thousand years old.
  • After a quiet stretch, Jin Ge and Song Yue'er returned with information about a martial world whose Martial Gods had encountered Zhongling World and Yuxiu World.

  • Xiaoyou invited Han Li to investigate the world, but White Mist arrived and offered to help after hearing about it.
  • Qu Jianlei refused to trade his Creation Compass and said he would wait for two subordinates to break through before visiting the world.
  • Qu Jianlei declined to have True Monarch Kanshui use the Water Mirror to reflect his subordinates, and Kanshui agreed to assess the world’s connection instead.

Ch. 2709Forced Buying and Selling

Qu Jianlei negotiated with True Monarch Kanshui to exchange a favor for repeated uses of the Water Mirror Divine Ability. After Kanshui discovered Qu Jianlei’s strong connection to a Martial Dao World, Qu and Han Li considered whether to investigate it.

  • True Monarch Kanshui offered to use the Water Mirror Divine Ability in exchange for a favor from Qu Jianlei, and they bargained until Kanshui agreed to handle every use needed for Saving the Heavens from Tilting plus three additional requests.
  • Qu Jianlei supplied the aura Jin Ge and another person had sent, and Kanshui prepared to help reflect it.
  • Kanshui sensed that a Martial Dao World had a strong connection to Qu Jianlei and said its connection to the heavenly tilt was also significant.
  • Han Li said he had consulted someone, showed Qu Jianlei the Palace he had refined by more than ten percent, and assured him they could safely enter and leave it.
  • Qu Jianlei asked whether he should visit the Martial Dao World, and Han Li left the choice to him while wondering why the world was so closely connected to him.
