novelTaken Advantage of

With the last Asura World expert killed, the end of this war also arrived.
Before this, no one would have imagined that the dimensional war that determined the survival of the Profound Mysteries Realm would end in such an unexpected way.
After checking, they even discovered that the total casualties of all the cultivators on their side had not even reached a hundred. It was simply unbelievable.
One had to know that even a war between two ordinary middle-tier factions would produce more casualties than this. It was simply inconceivable for a dimensional war to have such an outcome.
In other words, the struggles they had endured, the summons they had posted, and the cultivators they had mobilized had all led up to... a war that was no different from a fight between children.
And all of this was because of Qin Jue.
Relying on his own strength, he had turned the tide and saved the Profound Mysteries Realm!
Otherwise, with the current strength of the Profound Mysteries Realm, it was absolutely impossible for them to defeat the invaders from the Asura World.
When Qin Jue flew out of the temporary space, the entire place was incomparably silent. Everyone looked at him with worshipful eyes, as if they were looking at a god and didn't dare to profane him in the slightest.
Among them, the one with the most complicated feelings was none other than Su Li. She had originally guessed that Qin Jue was very likely a Great Sage Stage expert.
But now it seemed that Qin Jue was likely to have surpassed the Great Sage Stage.
Although they didn't know what happened in the temporary space, they had all still witnessed Qin Jue bringing out the others in less than 15 minutes after entering. Even an idiot would be able to understand what was going on.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Jue didn't care about everyone's gazes. He went up to Su Li and asked with a smile.
The peak experts of the Profound Mysteries Realm looked at each other and chose to stay where they were, not following Qin Jue.
"I-I'm fine."
Su Li was stunned for a moment before she said with a flattered look.
Qin Jue was rather helpless about this. This was also why he was unwilling to reveal his strength, because once he revealed his strength, the people around him would most likely find it hard to accept it and change their behavior towards him.
Even if you still treated them as friends, they still couldn't help but feel inferior. After all, this was a world of cultivation.
In comparison, heartless fellows like Bai Ye and Long Zhen didn't have so many burdens. This was why Qin Jue chose to stay in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect and never left.
"I didn't know you were so powerful."
After hesitating for a long time, Su Li couldn't help but say.
Now that she thought about how she had "saved" Qin Jue earlier, she found it funny. Why would someone as strong as him need her help?
"Yeah."
Qin Jue nodded and looked into the distance."It's about time for me to leave."
"Huh? Where to?"
Su Li was stunned.
"Hehe, I forgot to tell you that I don't belong to this world."
Qin Jue smiled.
"What?"
Su Li's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a surprised expression. But on second thought, if Qin Jue did come from the outside world, it would explain why he was so powerful.
Moreover, during the time she had been in contact with Qin Jue, she had indeed sensed that his actions were somewhat strange. He did not seem to be as weak as other men.
Earlier, because she was in a hurry to rush to the Far East, Su Li didn't pay much attention to it, but now, it had become powerful evidence.
"Then why did you help us?"
Qin Jue was stunned. He pondered for a moment and said, "Because this group of demons also invaded my world."
"I see." Su Li understood.
"Are you returning to your own world?"
"No!"
Qin Jue said meaningfully, "I am going to the Asura World."
Su Li was shocked when she heard this."Asura World? That place should be very dangerous, right?"
"Uh... it's not dangerous for me."
Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders."But if I want to return to my world, I have to pass through there."
"I see. Then I wish you a safe trip."
Taking a deep breath, Su Li said with a complicated expression.
As an itinerant cultivator, Su Li had seen countless life and death separations. But this time, she had an indescribable feeling about this separation.
"Yeah."
Nodding his head again, Qin Jue took out a storage ring and said, "This is for you."
"What is it?"
Puzzled, Su Li took the storage ring and swept it with her spirit sense. Immediately, her face was filled with shock.
"I... I can't take this."
All kinds of rare treasures and cultivation resources were stored in this storage ring. All of them were of high quality. They were enough for an ordinary person to cultivate from the Yellow Stage to the Saint Stage. How could Su Li accept such valuable treasures?
"Take it. Don't worry, the others won't notice."
He had just obtained this storage ring from Luo Jie. In any case, he had already collected a large amount of cultivation resources for Bai Ye when he plundered the Spirit Clan. Thus, it wasn't a big deal for him to give this storage ring to Su Li.
Moreover, he had deliberately used his spirit energy to isolate this space so that the outside world wouldn't find out about it. Otherwise, it would be inevitable that people would have some sinister thoughts.
"But..."
"No buts."
Qin Jue directly interrupted Su Li with a wave of his hand."You don't want to stay at the Supreme Stage forever, right?"
Su Li was instantly speechless, not knowing how to answer.
Indeed, which cultivator didn't want to grow stronger?
After a long silence, Su Li braced herself and said, "In that case, thank you."
Seeing Su Li accept it, Qin Jue was rather satisfied. He then flew up and prepared to leave.
From Luo Jie's memories, Qin Jue had already learned where the spatial rift was. After passing through it, he also planned on closing it.
After sweeping through the Asura World, they should also no longer have any strength to invade this place again.
"Wait!" Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jue suddenly interrupted Wu Ying.
Gritting her teeth, Su Li suddenly called out to Qin Jue.
"Anything else?"
Qin Jue subconsciously turned his head. In the next moment, Su Li's lips suddenly assaulted his face!
In an instant, Qin Jue was stunned. What was going on?
Even the Eternal Night Emperor's detonation of the Hell World didn't have such a great impact on him.
Without waiting for Qin Jue to react, Su Li had already turned around and flew away.
Qin Jue:"..."
Everyone was puzzled.
For a moment, he forgot who he was and where he was.
Uh, but... she did smell good.
Su Li couldn't be considered as a peerless beauty, but she had sharp brows, bright eyes, and a heroic spirit, which was Qin Jue's type. If they weren't in the Profound Mysteries Realm, Qin Jue might have considered it.
Wait!
Qin Jue suddenly regained his senses.
Did I get taken advantage of just now?
After all, in this world, men were the submissive ones!
If it happened in the Spirit Central World, it would be like a man forcefully kissing a woman!
Forget it, forget it.
In any case, he was not a man of this world, so he did not feel taken advantage of.
Watching Su Li gradually leave, Qin Jue retracted his gaze and then flew towards the spatial rift.
Those Profound Mysteries Realm experts didn't know what Qin Jue wanted to do. They didn't dare to say anything and also didn't dare to follow him. They could only obediently stay in place.
"Help me take good care of that woman."
Before leaving, Qin Jue transmitted his voice with his spirit energy.
The woman he was talking about was naturally Su Li.
"Yes!"
The institute director nodded.
...
Not long after, Qin Jue passed through thousands of kilometers and arrived at the border area of the Profound Mysteries Realm.
As they were close to the void, every world's edge contained various storms and turbulence.
Even Supreme Stage experts would be swept away if they were careless. At best, their foundation would be shaken, and at worst, they would die.
This was why the Asura World had set up a spatial rift here, making it difficult for others to discover it.
The price was that if they encountered any special circumstances, it would easily cause spatial turbulence and cause the spatial passageway to collapse.
Back then, when the Asura World cultivators invaded the Spirit Central World, it was precisely because Long Zhen had advanced to the Great Sage Stage that many abnormalities had been created. That was why the spatial passageway had collapsed, causing their army to suffer heavy casualties.
