Chapter 2752 - 2744: So It Was That

Chapter 2752: Chapter 2744: So It Was That

Feng Jun’s words carried a hint of irritation, making Xuanyuan Buqi feel somewhat embarrassed, "Just asking casually, never mind if it’s inconvenient."

"It’s not really about inconvenience," Feng Jun smiled, "In a relationship of mutual trust, everyone should maintain a certain level of trust."

This is just his temper; sometimes he doesn’t mind being wronged himself, but he can’t accept Yi Jue being wronged.

Especially since not long ago, she was knocked unconscious on the spot to protect him — if you treat me as a statesman, I will definitely repay you as a statesman!

Kid, you’ve got quite the temper! Xuanyuan Buqi felt a bit stifled, thinking to himself, I’m a True Lord, can’t I even ask a question?

However, he was ultimately thoughtful and understood the other party’s reasoning, so he laughed heartily, "Haha, embarrassing me in front of so many of my clan members, you sure have guts... let’s drop this matter. Shall we go now?"

Yi Jue gave a faint smile, "It’s good that the elder doesn’t blame him for his rashness, so let’s go now."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Youdao couldn’t help but roll his eyes in secret: You guys really are... lucky that our ancestor is so easygoing!

Subsequently, the Xuanyuan family members in Huanqiong finally witnessed the power of the legendary "Feng Jun Minivan", which transported everyone to the Tianqin Main Plane in the blink of an eye, even giving a lift to a True Immortal from the Bai family.

This time, the landing site was still the Ice Plate, but not because its defense was the best, purely because it was the closest to the coordinates—less than fifty million miles away.

Alright, the Yiyao Plate is about the same distance, but clearly, if two True Lords descended on one of the six major plates of the Taixu Sect, it would certainly cause a sensation, unnecessary to be so high-profile.

In fact, when a group appeared on the Ice Plate, the disciples of the Xuanshui Sect were slightly surprised. They were already accustomed to Qian Zhong and Xuanyuan Buqi, but having more than thirty cultivators, many at the Essence Stage, was unexpected.

Feng Jun left some Profound Ice behind as a small token of goodwill. This stuff isn’t worth much, but most Xuanshui Sect disciples use it in their cultivation, so it’s a suitable gesture to offset their minor shock.

The two True Lords wrapped everyone up and flew towards the coordinates. True Lords can exert considerable power in Tianqin, reaching the destination in half a day.

The area covered by the coordinates was quite large, roughly a spherical space with a diameter of a hundred thousand miles. As for what was inside, everyone needed to explore patiently—well, there was absolutely nothing, just a very empty space.

Not to mention the plates, even the connecting lines between nearby plates are very far from here; if not for some purpose-driven cultivator, hardly anyone would fly out here.

After observing for a while, one of the Xuanyuan family’s Essence cultivators quietly asked a Golden Core elder nearby, "Is there folded space here?"

"I don’t know either," the Golden Core elder answered quietly, "The two Great Lords aren’t speaking, so let’s stay silent."

The two True Lords were expressionlessly sensing, Feng Jun flew back and forth holding a mobile phone, occasionally swiping, Yi Jue took out divination sticks for calculation, and interestingly, Xuanyuan Hulie also took out a shell, tossing it up and down.

Eventually, it was Qian Zhong who reacted first. She pinched her fingers a few times, and asked with a somewhat certain tone, "Interdimensional passage?"

Yi Jue also put away the divination sticks, nodded with a frown, "That’s right, an interdimensional space... how can it arrive so soon?"

"Not early," Feng Jun chimed in, shaking his head expressionlessly, "If there’s no external influence, it will take three to four years for the passageway to fully open."

"Are they attacking Tianqin?" Xuanyuan Buqi frowned, unable to escape his role as someone with poor deduction skills, so he could only rely on others.

However, he had seen storms before, so he didn’t appear too panicked. Tianqin’s cultivators often attacked the outside, but it wasn’t rare for other planes to attack Tianqin too, "Who doesn’t know their limits... Swallowed Star Demon or alien cultivators?"

At this point, he no longer doubted Yi Jue’s words—since the other party was puzzled by the earlier arrival, it meant they had already calculated it.

"Asura," Yi Jue replied solemnly, "They’ve been eyeing Tianqin for more than a decade."

"Oh come on, how reckless can you get!" The Bai family True Immortal jumped in first.

His presence was extremely low, so being the sidekick seemed very necessary, and with the Bai family having a legacy spanning over thirty thousand years, basic knowledge was well covered, "The highest among the Asura’s divine kings is only at the Nascent Soul stage, merely for convenience in escaping... and they dare attack Tianqin?"

"There’s nothing wrong with it," Feng Jun answered calmly, "Just a few Asura god clans joining forces, that’s all they need to be daring... I’m actually a bit doubtful if they have truly figured out Tianqin’s scale and cultivation limits."

"Can Asura’s divine clans even unite?" The Bai family True Immortal diligently played the role of a supporting character, "Isn’t there supposed to be only one divine king?"

"It’s possible under special circumstances," Xuanyuan Hulie couldn’t take it anymore. Whether you’re genuinely clueless or pretending, that statement wasn’t appropriate here, "When faced with a common enemy or during a joint invasion, they can unite... what you said is the usual situation."

Xuanyuan Youdao couldn’t help but speak, "This situation has occurred three times in Tianqin’s history, twice when Tianqin attacked and they defended; once when they attacked and Tianqin defended."

You’re always trying to steal the spotlight! Xuanyuan Buqi looked at her disapprovingly, "Kids shouldn’t speak recklessly, it’s not just three times!"

Qian Zhong was thinking of something else, "The Asura... indeed a treasure, there must be many good things there."

Then she turned her head to look at Yi Jue—Feng Jun was also in that direction, "The Seven Sects and Eighteen Paths had long deduced this, do you want to monopolize it?"

"No," Yi Jue shook her head, "It’s the exclusive domain of our Spirit Plant Path, and Mountain Master Feng... he was also involved."

"Exclusive... that’s hard to define," Qian Zhong dared to question, but her questioning was much stronger than the Xuanyuan family, at least with sufficient reason, so it didn’t count as distrust, "Maybe other families have also deduced it, you just don’t know... like the Jinwu Sect."

"The Jinwu Sect should be a little later," Yi Jue replied confidently, "Actually, I suspect they haven’t deduced it at all; otherwise... such news wouldn’t have leaked to the subordinate sects beforehand."

Although True Immortal Yue Yi belongs to the main sect, he still presides as an Elder in the subordinate sect. And when the Seven Sects and Eighteen Paths encounter such matters, even for coordination, they would prioritize the main sect; as for the subordinate sects... only when circumstances are tense would they mobilize them.

This is not to underestimate the strength of the subordinate sects, but rather a result of the pride of the main plane, of course, the words are not to be said that way, but rather it should be said—protecting yourselves is the greatest contribution to the main plane.

This excuse is somewhat sincere, as the subordinate sects for the main plane are not under direct control like a fiefdom, so they don’t need to "mobilize troops to serve the king," it rather feels somewhat like a vassal state—doing well, come enjoy at the father’s place, not doing well then protect yourself.

As for the main plane helping the lower realm, that is a commonplace, when the son is bullied, how cannot the father intervene?

Otherwise, why would cultivators from the higher realm always have an inexplicable sense of superiority over the lower realm? It’s not just because the Spiritual Energy is abundant in the higher realm, but because they can indeed fight.

By comparison, the crises faced by the lower realm are not few, generally, they would resolve them independently, unless there is no other way, they wouldn’t call in the reinforcements from the higher realm—who doesn’t have a bit of dignity?

The Kunhao Realm currently has no foreign enemies, but that does not mean other hundreds of lower realms are without issues.

These contradictions faced by foreign enemies, also faced by internal disputes, situations of clan forces challenging sect forces are many, and Feng Jun’s acquisition of graphene in the Endless Realm, the entire domain was turned upside down, all order destroyed beyond recognition.

And until now, the Endless Realm has not requested support from the higher realm—well, maybe those qualified to request are all dead.

The various chaos in the lower realm, it’s really hard to say, if the higher realm now sends a conscription request, what would happen to public sentiment?

Therefore the higher realm would prioritize solving its own issues rather than creating chaos in the lower realm.

Then Yue Yi being able to obtain this coordinate, it shouldn’t be from the Jinwu Sect’s information.

"Alright, even if it’s not from the Jinwu Sect," Qian Zhong actually started a real argument with Yi Jue, her usual demeanor is calm, but once she argues seriously, it’s quite terrifying, making Xuanyuan Buqi dumbstruck, "Then why do you dare to say... Spirit Plant Path is the first?"

"Sorry, let me interject here," Feng Jun spoke up, "It’s not ’even if it’s not’ from the Jinwu Sect, but it absolutely wouldn’t be from Jinwu... if they indeed deduced it, with the Asura about to attack, Jinwu subordinates wouldn’t deploy in large numbers to the Insect World."

The battles over at the Insect World are not something that can be settled in three to fifty years, moreover, the entanglement between Tianqin and the Insect World is feared to span hundreds of years, the possibility of the two worlds never disentangling could objectively exist.

Speaking of matters too far ahead, forget Feng Jun, everyone cannot deduce it, unless a Mahayana cultivator... at least a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator emerges, possibly analyzing the entanglements of the two worlds, otherwise, don’t expect it.

The current visible situation is that Tianqin’s investment in the Insect World is increasing, the foreseeable future is that the investment will only increase, as there lies the development direction for human cultivators.

Expanding in other directions... including the "Void Treasure Hunt Three-Month Tour" hosted by Feng Jun, can accommodate only a limited number of cultivators.

The Asura is another direction of expansion, if the Jinwu Sect had discovered it earlier, they would have left enough strength to prepare, but now many High-Rank combat capabilities have already gone to the Insect World.

The situation is not as exaggerated as Feng Jun said, the main combat strength of Jinwu surely remains in Tianqin, but recently when he posted a bounty, Jinwu subordinates couldn’t easily form a team to partake in the bounty hunt, until Wanhuan Sect was involved, did a bounty hunt team appear.

One should learn to distinguish intentions through details, this sign already indicates: the Jinwu Sect is somewhat stretched thin.

But Qian Zhong was already caught up, even confronting him, "Alright, so let’s not count the Jinwu Sect, but why is Spirit Plant Path first? Tell me... why can’t Chess Sect be first? Let’s go by the matter at hand, I know you don’t get along with Chess Sect."
