Chapter 1109: Chapter 975: Overthinking

Qu Jianlei ultimately did not reach a collaboration with Qian He, but no conflicts arose either.

The information collected made him hesitate for a moment, but he still decided to visit Purple Star.

The Imperial was investigating mysterious forces, so he felt it necessary to check on Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin’s situation.

Even though they had just sent an express delivery to report safety.

However, when he arrived at Shanshui Small Building, he felt he might have overthought.

His two teammates were living leisurely, even enthusiastically cooking.

Qu Jianlei opted to contact at night, and the two responded positively, inviting him to chat inside the small building, ensuring no one nearby was monitoring.

After meeting the two, Qu Jianlei understood why Purple Star was not listed as a key investigative planet,

Strictly speaking, it was thanks to the Imperial Storm.

To say Qu Jianlei’s team on Purple Star caused no significant damage is accurate, but they did manage to take down a Supreme.

Yet, surprisingly, during the investigation of Purple Star, no one troubled Ping’an Trading Group.

Of course, this is related to Ping’an’s activity capabilities, but the main reason is still Imperial Storm’s setback under Ping’an’s hand.

The battle to seize the Energy Stone Ore was sealed off from news, but how could it be completely contained?

The ability to make even those above Supreme leave in disgrace clearly exceeded the scope of the Imperial investigation.

Thus, Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin faced no targeting.

Xiao Moshan’s Wind Attribute A-level initially startled the inspectors.

However, upon hearing it was Ping’an’s territory, the inspectors casually asked a few questions and then left.

Xiao Moshan and Xiao Qin simply thought Ping’an’s reputation was significant, until later Duoduo told them.

”You earned your own reputation, our boss said, the minimal impact this time is thanks to you both.”

Qu Jianlei was completely relieved, but he couldn’t help but think of one more thing: the gold mine on Qingsha Star might have some trouble.

Nonetheless, although uneasy, he really wasn’t in a position to go to Qingsha Star now.

After all, he had no one there, and the caretaker was merely a grateful tea shop owner.

Qu Jianlei was willing to be responsible for his teammates, but he wasn’t going to become overwhelmed with love, responsible for everyone connected to him.

Subsequently, he piloted the Omen Ship back to Paradise Star.

The Imperial’s massive investigation lasted for a whole half year before slightly relaxing.

At this time, tourism in Yunwu Mountain had reached its off-season.

In the backyard of the guesthouse, Paranoid, Mu Yu, and Claire had returned.

Most importantly, Iron Skin Snake recognized Paranoid, since the hype had nearly subsided, there was no need to be overly cautious.

Qu Jianlei, together with Granny Jia, Qinghu, Bentley, Flower Scorpion, and Celestial Sound, continued to stay on Lost Star.

As time progressed, the Super Spirit Gathering Array was gradually perfected, feeling the finalized version wasn’t far off.

Granny Jia observed this in her heart, pleased internally.

One day, she suddenly said, ”Boss, can you calculate the route to impact beyond Supreme?”

This is an epic-level challenge, as until now, the Imperial has no definitive definition for the realm beyond Supreme.

As imagined, without even a definition, wanting to impact beyond Supreme surely has no authoritative path.

The Imperial Storm perhaps succeeded, but faced cosmic backlash.

Paranoid’s abandonment of convergence, in result, ultimately failed, but once glimpsed beyond Supreme.

Granny Jia chose to burn her life for impact, ultimately failing.

In any case, these remarkably talented prodigies attempted to break limits in different ways according to their understanding.

During this process, countless fell, yet numerous successors followed.

Granny Jia wasn’t afraid to fail again, but she felt lost in this moment: who can tell me what truly lies beyond Supreme?

Before meeting Panda, she didn’t believe anyone could answer this question—at least couldn’t convince her.

But after meeting Panda, spending so much time together, she believed if anyone could answer, it must be Panda!

Or perhaps, it’s the person behind Panda... maybe it’s a group!

Qu Jianlei was initially astonished upon hearing, then smiled bitterly, ”Senior, you really think too highly of me.”

”You can do it,” Granny Jia calmly stated, ”In this millennium, if you can’t do it, no one else can!”

”Come on,” Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched slightly, ”I still haven’t figured out how to impact beyond Supreme.”

”You can share, we’ll all discuss together,” Qinghu also joined, how could she miss out on such explosive topic?

She confidently stated, ”I can attempt to impact beyond Supreme after you, referencing your path.”

”Don’t joke,” Qu Jianlei shook his head with a helpless smile, ”The path I’m taking is different from yours.”

”I know this,” Granny Jia nodded, ”You’re taking the Ancient Cultivation path!”

Ancient Cultivation is the cultivation method for those possessing divine scripts, even Primordial Warriors only borrowed from the Ancient Cultivation path.

Qinghu nodded repeatedly upon hearing, she had long wanted to say this but feared sounding like coercion, unsure how to express.

”Everyone is following the path of the ancient cultivator,” Qu Jianlei replied sullenly.

After a pause, he couldn’t help but complain, ”I’ve split myself into eight parts, and there’s not enough time. Please don’t make things harder for me.”

Granny Jia’s eyes lit up at those words, ”So, it’s just a matter of not having enough time, rather than not having the ability?”

”The time issue, I can solve it. I’ll just invite a few Supreme beings to help... Would the old principal of Green Water do?”

You have to admit this old lady sees things clearly, and she really does.

When pushed to the edge, she’s willing to burn her lifespan; when living tranquilly, she can be a humble Gatekeeper.

Even when fleeing with them, she managed to keep in touch with some old friends without worrying about betrayal.

It’s not just cunning; she has enough confidence in her own charisma.

Qu Jianlei steadied himself and waved his hand, ”Better not. Right now, the only ones I can trust are the team members.”

”About what you mentioned, I’ve received it, and I’ll think it over later.”

”Do you even need to think about it?” Qinghu spoke up, ”Boss, this is your chance to define above the Supreme!”

”Defining power doesn’t just mean you have absolute authority in this field; it can establish a new sect!”

”If you define it, I can at least bring five Supreme beings to the scene, and maybe even one above Supreme...”

Faintly, there was the sound of thunder rumbling outside.

”Do I need their acknowledgment?” Qu Jianlei scoffed with a smile, ”I’m just worried I might not pull it off!”

In truth, psychologically, he never thought he couldn’t forge the path to Nascent Soul.

He had great confidence in his own advancement to Nascent Soul—even when creating something from nothing, he had done it before.

In fact, his biggest worry was the inheritance leaks of Divine Land!

He didn’t know the relationship between this universe and Blue Star, but undoubtedly, he didn’t have a strong identification with this place. It didn’t feel like home.

Since there was no sense of identification, he certainly couldn’t let his good things leak carelessly.

Is it narrow-minded? He hadn’t considered that, not even when Blue Star compatriots were getting throttled when Divine Land was under threat!

So some knowledge and heritage, even if it rots inside him, can’t be learned by others.

Especially since Qu Jianlei had a bit of a complex about ”those not of our kin must have different hearts.”

This notion always lingered in his mind, and he didn’t want to explain it to others.

He manifested it in specific behaviors, helping Bentley and Flower Scorpion in deducing the Cultivation Technique, and that was his limit!

Especially the latter who, though injected with Transformation Potion, only earlier versions existed, and they cultivated even without Awakening.

If there wasn’t the bond of camaraderie through life and death, if someone else came asking, they’d only get two words—dream on!

After all, the Imperial has always been vigilant in information blockade... If the Empire can block it, why can’t I?

However, the recent encounter with the Ghost Cultivator shook his belief a bit,

He had always been controlling the dissemination of Divine Land’s related information, yet someone had left an Inheritance Stone Scroll?

The impact of this information on him was truly immense; it wasn’t just as simple as encountering a Ghost Cultivator.

Qu Jianlei felt like an ignorant little warrior just frantically blocking enemies on the front line.

But then, a broad pathway suddenly appeared, a passage reserved by someone for their descendants.

Damn it, that passage was discovered and entered by the adversary!

How would the front-line warrior feel? All this perseverance feels like a waste!

Of course, as it appears for now, it’s just a Ghost Cultivator’s legacy, not feeling too severe yet.

But since there is a first, another, and even more could appear, naturally.

Lund just hid more cleverly and was accidentally discovered by them, how many undiscovered ones are there?

Not to mention, how did Granny Jia recognize that the stone was an Inheritance Stone Scroll?

Extending the thought... how did the Primordial Warriors come about initially?

They knew how to create a Cultivation System for the Awakened, yet significantly lagged in research on the divine script, what does this imply?

This matter left Qu Jianlei quite conflicted indeed.

However, recalling the ”Alchemy Scripture” he acquired from the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion, he let go of most concerns.

At that time, the Alchemy Scripture existed in book form, but it essentially carried a spiritual legacy.

Meaning, if it wasn’t him who got in touch with the Alchemy Scripture, others could still receive the inheritance.

Granted, that person must be able to complete ”Huarong Road” correctly and have knowledge of the divine script.

No more thinking about it, Qu Jianlei felt a headache, everything should just proceed naturally.

After some time, once the chaos completely passes, he could fully venture into refining a cultivation method to reach beyond the Supreme.

By then, striving to buy another large computer array for that, as the current one may not suffice.

However, he hadn’t imagined, as the official investigation began to wrap up, the real excitement was just beginning.

That day, the Big Head Butterfly revolved in Qu Jianlei’s mind once more, ”Boss, a star war erupted eight million kilometers away!”
