Chapter 530: Chapter 400: Intensifying the Effort

Granny Jia was originally dozing with her eyes closed. Upon hearing these words, her eyes suddenly widened, and she spoke coldly, ”Who is slandering me?”

She didn’t like people gossiping about her behind her back about such disgraceful matters.

Qu Jianlei saw it was confirmed and was not scared by the granny, but only nodded thoughtfully.

”No wonder you care so much about True Spirit and such, haven’t you given up on pondering Realm Breakthrough?”

Granny Jia was initially angry at someone talking about her, but upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, ”Is it indeed the Supreme’s secret technique?”

Actually, it’s not just about Nascent Soul. Qu Jianlei was clear about it; it still applies even beyond Nascent Soul.

But these words really can’t be said —— implies there’s even higher above Supreme?

He frowned, ”From my personal understanding, starting from C-level, one should focus on unifying body and mind, and consolidating self-awareness.”

This is not idle talk; the Daoist Sect’s cultivation system emphasizes foundational building, while the Superpower Warrior’s cultivation stresses Awakening!

Is aptitude important? Of course, it’s very important, but solely focusing on aptitude won’t go far.

In the Superpower Cultivation system, multiple uses of Genetic Transformation Potion were utilized to enhance Awakening efficacy.

If this is a necessary premise done out of necessity, then focusing too much on the effects is overly biased.

All Imperial people believe the proportion of Awakened is too low, but in fact, the absolute number of Superpower Warriors is not few.

Those who have been injected with potion all focus on whether they can awaken, and once truly awakened, they start hurriedly cultivating.

The whole system lacks tempering of mindset in its initial stages and was not emphasized much later on.

Most Superpower Warriors, upon reaching A-level, may realize the importance of mindset.

But changing at this point is summarized in four words — too little, too late!

At the start of cultivation, unstable foundation is not a big problem, but the later it goes, the more apparent the issue becomes.

In comparison, Daoist Sect’s cultivation emphasizes Refining Heart from the beginning and later focuses on Refining Intent, Refining Spirit...

There aren’t many who achieve success in Daoist Sect cultivation, but after entry, the subsequent development is very long-lasting.

At least that’s what Qu Jianlei believes; the various phenomena and patterns he encounters also match his assumptions.

Granny Jia stared at him, speechless for quite a while.

Finally, she sighed softly, ”What is ’self-awareness’?”

”Well...” Qu Jianlei pondered a bit, then smiled slightly, ”You should ask your people.”

You insist on keeping things from me, naturally, I can reciprocate in kind; the world is generally fair.

Granny Jia was stunned, then replied helplessly, ”Don’t imitate me, at my level, who can still guide me?”

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then shook his head, ”Granny Jia, that’s your business... the Imperial still has something above Supreme.”

His answer is proportional, should present no issues — you have barriers, and so do I.

Qu Jianlei doesn’t disregard Granny Jia’s kindness, but explaining clearly would involve too many Daoist Sect concepts.

How could he easily disseminate Blue Star’s knowledge? Giving a proper hint in words was already an exception.

Before this, he also encountered many matters related to Divine Land, can’t rule out the possibility of Divine Land knowledge already leaked.

But if others leak, that’s their business, not something he did.

If he displayed great understanding of Daoist Sect knowledge, what would await him once the news leaked?

Private research on divine script could lead to family destruction; mastering these would result in an even worse fate.

Granny Jia remained silent for a while before asking angrily, ”There’s something above Supreme in the Empire... who are you referring to?”

”I only know it exists,” Qu Jianlei vaguely replied, he had a fondness for the granny but wasn’t foolish.

Granny Jia fell silent, just looking at him indifferently.

The already quiet Rare Books Tower grew increasingly silent; even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

After a long time, the granny slowly shook her head, ”Seems still... forget it, don’t want to force it, but your words, excessive can be harmful.”

Qu Jianlei nodded, ”Conduct and measure are indeed crucial... Granny Jia, then may I take my leave?”

Granny Jia hesitated before speaking, ”What do you want?”

Qu Jianlei tilted his head to think a bit, then smiled slightly, ”I realize there’s nothing much I want, except feeling a bit poor.”

The granny had once spoken of not being affluent; he answered like this, presumably, she won’t pursue further.

Granny Jia didn’t show surprise, just waved her hand indifferently, ”Go ahead.”

However, her heart was far from calm; after a long time, she murmured softly, ”Still need to think of other ways.”

In the ensuing time, Qu Jianlei returned to his normal routine.

Because he had recently earned a lot, he felt no pressure to earn money and thought he could manage at least another three to five years.

The only downside was that the little lake seemed to have vanished, never surfacing no matter how he called.

Five days later, Qu Jianlei finally completed the third version of improvements to the Defense Array.

As there was no assistance from the little lake in the final process, he wasn’t sure if his calculations were correct.

It’s really too easy to develop a lazy habit. He became accustomed to having Xiaohu’s help, and now he’s not quite used to determining the results alone.

Qu Jianlei really wanted to actually set up an array to verify his calculations, but... there weren’t many materials for the array.

If he was willing to speak up, he might be able to get some materials from the Earth Scholar organization.

However, this organization has been keeping a low profile lately and has twice communicated with him through Xiang Xue, hoping for an exchange of intelligence.

So if he wants to procure materials now, the conditions offered by the other party are likely not cash.

But this can’t be blamed on the Earth Scholar; Green Water City’s investigation into the ’Wangjiang Tower incident’ has never relaxed in intensity.

Qu Jianlei has only been interrogated twice, but that’s because the library has an official background, so he somewhat holds an official position.

Social investigations have never relaxed, even Sofia has complained, saying that now she gets checked once every three days.

No wonder, she and her sister are in the ’Business Guide’ industry, and this information has been learned by Green Water’s Patrol Guards.

Moreover, Green Water City officials have determined that Black Heaven not only has high cultivation level and heavy murderous intent but is also very wealthy.

So the business guide is a channel to integrate into society, and... these people were originally well-informed.

Qu Jianlei was pondering whether to continue perfecting the third edition or start practicing when Granny Jia came to find him at noon.

Pandas don’t eat lunch, everybody knows that, so when the old lady came, it was just when no one was there.

Granny Jia didn’t waste words, she went straight to the point, ”Do you have any conflict with the military of Star No. 3?”

Hope No.3 Star’s military? Qu Jianlei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; it’s far from just a simple conflict.

He had long learned that while the Garbage Star he was on during his crossing was an Imperial planet, Star No. 3 was responsible for law and order!

Most of the personnel in the base belong to the military of Star No. 3.

So the starship he stowed away on had originally been headed to Star No. 3.

Moreover, the people he knew, like Youyou, and Xiao Moshan, were all from the military of Star No. 3.

Even Pan Yifu, whom he once fought alongside on Zarif Star, was the same.

However, Qu Jianlei’s interactions with the military of Star No. 3 are not just limited to these.

The things he did in Central City and the Gorge are also subject to inquiries by the military, and he is actually a wanted criminal.

The military of Star No. 3 has countless reasons to want to find him.

Even if it wasn’t for factors directly related to him, his close associates Xiao Moshan and Youyou are also military traitors!

He thought for a moment before responding, ”Conflict might exist; I always get entangled in some inexplicable things... like Quantum looking for me.”

Qu Jianlei strongly resists the label of ”attracting trouble” and naturally wouldn’t admit this to the old lady.

Granny Jia also knows about the enmity between Panda and Quantum; frankly, that incident couldn’t be blamed on Panda.

She straightforwardly stated, ”The military of Star No. 3 and Star No. 2 have issued a joint investigation notice, and they’re looking for you.”

”It’s simply... damn outrageous,” Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched, thinking he hasn’t even begun to settle accounts with the military of Star No. 3!

The grievances he suffered on Garbage Star are numerous, the management used the people of an entire planet as experiments, and he detests it deeply!

Although he escaped later, he plans to take revenge when he has the power in the future!

Originally, Qu Jianlei planned to target the managers of Garbage Star, thinking the military was just a tool.

People like Xiao Moshan and Youyou belong to the military but also suffered grievances.

But now that the military of Star No. 3 is brazenly provoking, then... they can be included in his plans.

Granny Jia kept observing his reactions, and seeing no obvious surprise, she knew there must be more to the story.

But to her, the details didn’t matter; she had passed the age of being overly curious.

The important thing is that she can confirm the information she has gathered is useful to Panda.

”The military has already put pressure on the government, hearing it’s about Zarif’s matter.”

”Zarif?” Qu Jianlei was actually a bit surprised upon hearing it; he hadn’t provoked the military on Pioneer Planet.

Then he remembered something, ”Star No. 3’s military had an A-level named Pan Yifu... who was previously captured by Star Thieves.”

”I heard about it,” Granny Jia nodded, ”Recently, he was rescued.”

Generally speaking, she doesn’t bother with newly emerged A-levels, but if she wants to gather information, nothing can stand in her way.

But she was more concerned with, ”Quantum demanding cooperation, the government may not pay much attention, but when it’s combined with the military, it becomes serious.”

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but mutter, ”What’s Pan Yifu getting himself into?”

”It has nothing to do with him,” Granny Jia responded solemnly, ”The pressure from Star No. 3 is said to be from a Supreme.”

”Supreme?” Qu Jianlei was taken aback, ”A Supreme from the military... are you joking?”

Actually, he already vaguely guessed a name, but that name can’t possibly be uttered from his mouth.

If he did, it would be a self-confession.

Granny Jia stared at him, speaking slowly, ”A new Supreme, who seems to be from Garbage Star.”
