Chapter 2662 The Agreed-Upon Deal
The two True Venerables readily agreed to accept the small realm, but at the same time, they emphasized that they "would not go too far."
Seeing this, Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, thinking that this was only the Yelang Realm versus a small realm.
The other party initially ignored it, but then hastily condensed a clone to rush over. What does this indicate?
This shows that they felt the pressure and, seeing that they couldn't refuse, had no choice but to bite the bullet and come, for fear of angering the powerful dragon crossing the river.
However, even under immense pressure, they remained highly wary of outside cultivators.
If the relic world is truly brought under the administration of Cangwu in the future, the situation will be a hundred times more complicated than it is now.
Seeing that the three True Venerables opposite did not object, which should be considered tacit approval, the two True Venerables put forward new demands.
They hoped that the Three True Venerables would uphold justice and comment on which side was in the right.
Without a doubt, if any of these three individuals were to support one side even slightly, the balance of the war would be completely tipped.
Although they were just two simple clones, both pairs of eyes were staring nervously at the three people opposite them, and neither dared to breathe loudly.
However, the handsome young man calmly stated, "This is your internal matter, and we will not interfere."
"We have only one request: regardless of the final outcome, the rights of cultivators from lesser realms must be guaranteed."
The two True Venerables exchanged another glance and nodded in unison, "That's fine too."
"Hmph," Xiao You finally realized what was going on and couldn't help but snort coldly, "So you're worried that we'll take the opportunity to infiltrate the Yelang Realm?"
Yelang Realm? The two True Venerables were taken aback upon hearing this. Our realm has such a name in the outside world?
Qu Jianlei snorted lightly, "Only you people take this Middle Thousand World seriously."
The other party's attitude is understandable. They know the other side is powerful and dare not stand in their way, so they take the initiative to ask for help in mediating.
But in reality, after ruling a closed area for a long time, no one really likes to be forcibly intervened by outside forces.
Even if you can be obsequious to them, once you're back home and the door is closed, it doesn't stop you from being domineering.
If even the core base is interfered with, it's no wonder that trouble is bound to arise over time.
The two True Venerables smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, realizing that the opponent had already displayed the strength of four True Venerables in the two instances.
Clearly, the opposing force consists of more than four True Venerables, so it's not surprising that they would say such a thing.
The people of Yelang have always boasted that their world is a great world, but now they understand that it is really just a middle-thousand world.
Judging from the opponent's posture, the Four True Venerables are clearly not at their limit, and their world is simply no match for them.
They naturally yearn for the outside world, and at the very least, they can consider what the realms beyond the Nascent Soul stage are all about.
However, after staying in this world for so long, the thought of venturing out into the world is... a bit daunting.
The Yelang Realm originally had three True Venerables, but the one who was most capable of venturing out had already been killed by cultivators from outside.
This attracted the ire of external cultivators who came to question him, but fortunately, they were reasonable and did not commit massacre.
However, this also shows that the outside world is indeed quite dangerous.
The two True Venerables have a deep-seated grudge over resources. Do they want to seek external help? Of course they do.
However, they also considered the consequences, so their statement just now was essentially going with the flow.
However, no matter what, we absolutely cannot allow the other party to support our adversary; that's the bottom line!
If one party dares to betray the territory, the other party will absolutely not mind betraying it as well.
So the current result... is neither good nor bad.
"Alright," Xiaoyou waved her hand and said calmly, "This is considered settled. There's no going back. You two may leave now."
“There’s no rush,” one of the True Venerables on the other side said. “We can lend you fellow Daoists a hand while we’re at it.”
“Exactly,” another True Venerable nodded repeatedly. He couldn’t let his rival get too close to the True Venerables outside.
Anyway, they were both crude clones, so it didn't matter if they were lost.
Han Li glanced at the two of them, then raised his hand and released a ball of light, which was a miniature version of that small world.
After the miniature world was restored in front of everyone, a True Venerable exclaimed in surprise, "So small... yet it still has a boundary membrane?"
The True Venerables of the Yelang Realm didn't know much about the Lesser Realms, but they did know that their own world had a boundary membrane.
In fact, the boundary membrane of this small realm is relatively thick, presumably because when the powerful beings of the past intervened, they also wanted to protect the small realm for a longer period of time.
One of the True Venerable's avatars couldn't help but tremble slightly, "This is... the lower realm?"
The Yelang world also has legends about the lower realm. They call themselves the Great World, but they have never had a lower realm.
They later came to believe that this world might have had a lower world before, but it was lost for some reason.
They were immediately excited when they discovered that what the other party had presented was not a cultivation module, but a complete small world.
This means that a new lower realm will finally appear in this realm.
As for the limited spiritual energy in the lower realm, with the upper limit being only the Golden Core stage, that's not a problem. The key is that the realm finally has a lower realm.
“It’s not the lower realm,” Han Li replied casually, tossing the ball of light to Qu Zhenzun, then looking at the two Zhenzun clones, “Excuse me!”
"Avoid..." The two True Venerables were both taken aback. They looked at Xiao You, only to find that she had already stood there quietly with her hands at her sides.
This is clearly the posture of a Dharma protector; all that's missing is the appearance of a magical artifact or weapon.
One of the True Venerable's avatars couldn't help but speak up, "What... are you trying to do?"
Xiao You ignored them, while Han Li replied calmly, "It's all settled; you've agreed to take over this small realm."
But how could we know that even minor realms have boundary membranes? The two True Venerables were truly speechless. "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Merging the two realms," Han Li calmly looked at the other party, "you two want to break the contract?"
“But… merging the two realms,” the two True Venerables found it utterly absurd. “Do you even know what you’re saying?”
These two knew they couldn't beat the other, but they couldn't ignore this matter!
The knowledge of the Yelang Realm is indeed lacking, but their heritage is not bad, and they are aware of the situation of the fusion of the two realms.
It's almost certain that it will have a huge impact on both realms; the upheaval will be the least of it.
Faced with this impending terrible situation, even though they were fighting, the two had no choice but to voice their opposition.
The conflict between the two stemmed from a struggle for interests, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were locked in a life-or-death struggle.
However, when these interests are about to be destroyed, one can only temporarily set aside grudges.
The opponent is indeed very strong, but both sides are just clones. The loss is a loss, but what needs to be said must be said.
"You...have experience in merging realms?"
"Not particularly familiar with them," Han Li said truthfully. Previously, the three of them were helping to merge worlds, not to merge two worlds.
“This is an extremely dangerous matter,” one of the True Lords stated bluntly, “Your side is not yet proficient.”
"That's why we came here to practice," Han Li replied nonchalantly. "Don't worry, we won't let the people from the Small Realm be in any great danger."
None of the three wanted to tell each other, but since the other person insisted on asking, he wouldn't lie.
In response, he made an unprecedented explanation: "We must protect even the people of the Lesser Realms, so naturally we will also consider the environment of the Yelang Realm."
However, the two True Venerables became even angrier upon hearing this: Of course you should protect the people you brought yourself!
But is our realm just an unwanted stepchild?
One of the True Venerables asked calmly, "Not only do we have to accept them, but we also have to endure the devastation of the realm fusion. Why?"
"Do I need to explain to you?" Han Li retorted casually.
The True Venerable was speechless, but he didn't dare to make a move directly, so he looked at Xiao You.
He was deeply impressed by this female cultivator's combat prowess, and her words carried considerable weight. "Didn't you say last time that we'd let it go?"
“I’ve already cleared things up with you,” Xiaoyou replied succinctly. “These two are the main characters!”
"The...master?" The two True Venerables were stunned again. Was it these two who had planned the ambush for the guy who was already dead?
Then let's not say anything more. The grievances have their source and the debts have their debtors. The real culprits have come to our door, what can they possibly say in their defense?
The key point is that the other party's attitude is unusually tough; even if there is a legitimate reason, they don't bother to explain!
What does this mean? It means that they believe they have the upper hand over the two of us.
The True Venerable took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Then let me confirm, fellow Daoist, is your matter with us now settled?"
What he was most worried about was the combat strength of this Kun Xiu Zhen Zun. If this person could stand aside, then the two of them against the two of them... still had room for negotiation!
Xiaoyou almost laughed, but in the end she calmly replied.
"The three of us are traveling together. If a dispute arises, it will only create new karma. Besides... do you two know how many powerful beings these two have killed?"
"Do you know that they once rebelled against the king... and succeeded?"
"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, the two True Venerables gasped in unison. Although they had never been distracted in this realm, they all knew about the Great Monarch!
In any case, it's impossible for a dozen True Venerables to kill a Great Monarch; being able to repel the opponent would be considered extremely powerful.
One of the True Venerables reacted quickly, sighing, "Indeed, those who associate with geniuses can only be geniuses themselves!"
Xiao You nodded slightly, "Of all that has been said, only this sentence is somewhat agreeable."
Han Li raised an eyebrow. "I think that statement is just so-so."
“Then I won’t say you’re good!” Xiaoyou said leisurely. “I’m not really used to it either.”
Han Li sneered, "You, who only reached the Nascent Soul stage at seven hundred years old, dare to underestimate me?"
"I'm not as old as you!" Xiao You remained unmoved. "You're over a thousand years old and haven't even reached the Divine Realm!"
Han Li glanced at Qu Jianlei, "You're twice his age... Well, I didn't say you're old!"
The two True Venerable clones gradually faded away. "Fellow Daoists, you're busy. We'll be leaving now to protect our own realm."
Listening to these two's outrageous words, they were tempted to commit suicide... What kind of monsters are these two?
So don't even think about risking your life now, the right thing to do is to go back and protect your home!
Three days later, a ripple spread through the depths of the starry sky of Yelang Realm...
