Chapter 462: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: Then we can rest assured!
Qin Muling was enjoying himself in the Cave Mansion, playing in the mountains and waters, discussing tea and cultivation with his senior sisters, and practicing in seclusion. Outside, there were a lot of people eagerly waiting, so he couldn't relax for even a moment.
Since they knew that a major battle was approaching, the elders of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance naturally didn't dare to slack off. These days, besides accompanying his junior brother in practicing in the time acceleration array, they were busy with preparations in all aspects. The more prepared they were, the better.
After all, war is not child's play. It involves casualties, and many, many people will die. No one can guarantee that they won't have any accidents, even the powerful cultivators who have severed their Three Corpses Incarnation.
For this reason, after discussing with Zi Shiyun, the Grand Palace Master, and Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden, they brought in more female cultivators and resources from the upper realm to strengthen the overall strength of the sect's main altar.
By now, almost all the female cultivators who were in a deep sleep due to serious injuries have recovered with Qin Muling's help. The remaining task is mainly to help them improve their cultivation.
Therefore, the burden on Qin Muling's shoulders has become heavier than before. The range of the Paradise of Utmost Bliss array is limited. Although it has expanded to about a hundred zhang in radius as his cultivation realm has improved, it can only benefit tens of thousands of senior sisters at most in one go.
Of course, the effect of the Paradise of Utmost Bliss array is very good. Senior sisters can cultivate diligently inside, and with the addition of the time acceleration array, one day in the outside world is equivalent to saving them at least dozens of years of arduous cultivation. This is not to mention the increase in luck and the optimization and improvement of Dao Foundation.
However, there are too many senior sisters who need to improve their cultivation. Except for those senior sisters who have a closer relationship with Qin Muling, most female cultivators have to wait for a long time for a chance to cultivate.
Qin Muling doesn't have a good solution to this. Compared to other Transcendent Level forces, the senior sisters of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance are already quite fortunate. They don't have to endure the hardships and use various difficult methods to sharpen themselves bit by bit.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao specially deduced that when Qin Muling's one-year time here is over, there will probably be several new top powerhouses born in the alliance. Including the lucky Emperor Xin Yu, at least three to five senior sisters will reach the profound level of Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses.
As for the powerhouses who completely sever their Three Corpses Incarnation, there will probably be dozens of them, right? After all, Qin Muling's Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme is already sufficient, and its miraculous effects are becoming more and more outstanding.
So every day the war is delayed, the strategic advantage of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance will increase by one point. It will not be a problem to directly confront or even counter the Transcendent Level forces alliance led by the Demon Dao Ancestral Court.
At this moment, in the Demon Dao Ancestral Court in the Upper Realm, the delicate situation is rapidly changing.
After those unidentified black-robed individuals offered more benefits, the Demon Lord Tai Yuan finally made up his mind and decided to gamble with his own path of cultivation, as well as the fate of the entire sect.
After careful consideration, the other Transcendent Level forces were ultimately overcome by their greed for Qin Muling. In addition, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance was becoming increasingly powerful. If they didn't take the opportunity to eliminate the threat now, it is likely that they would not have any chance in the next few hundred years.
Therefore, during the reassembly of the alliance, including the Demon Dao Ancestral Court, a total of thirty Transcendent Level forces declared their intention to join and were willing to use all their resources to suppress and besiege the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
The remaining nineteen Transcendent Level forces did not get involved in this matter. They either chose to remain neutral and observe, or they were on the side of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
Of course, on the surface, this newly formed alliance had an absolute advantage in overall strength. The thirty Transcendent Level forces, along with the massive subordinate forces attached to them, accounted for about two-thirds of the Upper Realm's power. Dealing with a "small" Female Cultivators Union Alliance should be a piece of cake.
Therefore, on the second day after the assembly, the Demon Dao Ancestral Court sent envoys to the Extreme Void Starry Sky to issue a strong ultimatum to the high-level members of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
They must hand over Qin Muling within one month and open up all the resources of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, including the billions of female cultivators, for them to choose and use. There should be no more hostile actions against the Demon Dao Ancestral Court in the future.
As expected, the enraged Immortal Venerable Qing Yao personally killed the envoy from the Demon Dao Ancestral Court and ordered full-scale preparations for war.
The furious Demon Lord Tai Yuan immediately declared a full-scale war against the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, vowing not to stop until they were completely defeated.
For a while, the vast Upper Realm was in turmoil, and the situation became unprecedentedly tense.
The prices of spiritual crystals, spiritual stones, elixirs, and talismans for cultivation resources skyrocketed. Many small and medium-sized forces that had not yet taken sides began to pack up and prepare to flee, seeking suitable hidden areas for refuge.
Even the Independent Cultivators who maintained a neutral stance, as well as the high-level members of the ten or so Transcendent Level forces, had begun to prepare in advance, arranging a sufficient number of elite disciples and resources. They used the Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure to enter the depths of the chaotic void to temporarily avoid the storm.
After all, such a large number of Transcendent Level forces forming alliances and then going to war, this has never happened in the countless ages of the Upper Realm! Once the war breaks out in full force, one can imagine how devastating it will be.
The starry sky will be stained with blood, countless cultivators will turn into flesh and blood, their souls scattered. Great emperors and powerful beings will fall like rain, and the once glorious Grotto-Heaven sanctuaries will become ruins, even completely destroyed! As for the billions and trillions of ordinary beings, it goes without saying... Various unimaginable scenes of horror will unfold one after another.
In the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, in Qin Muling's Cave Mansion.
The Grand Palace Master, Zi Shiyun, lightly pursed her glossy and charming cherry lips, propped up her smooth and delicate body, and slowly got up from Qin Muling. Beside her lay the satisfied Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden, and of course, the newly joined Emperor Xin Yu as well.
"... Judging by the time, the legions of the Demon Dao Ancestral Court should be arriving in full force soon, right?" Qin Muling released his milky white snow child from his hand and said softly.
Emperor Xin Yu, with her beautiful and enchanting appearance, embraced him and said with a smile, her fair and delicate skin shining brightly, "Not yet! Coordinating the expeditionary forces of so many Transcendent Level powers is too complicated. Right now, only some vanguard legions have arrived, and the main force will probably have to wait a little longer!"
It is normal for the internal opinions of this temporary alliance to be divided, especially the issue of who will have the highest command of the expeditionary army. This is the most crucial and sensitive issue. Without a fierce argument, there is no hope of reaching a conclusion.
"From this, it seems that we still have time..." Qin Muling nodded thoughtfully. According to what Zi Shiyun, the Grand Palace Master, said, both the Divine Phoenix Palace and the Buddha Domain Pure Land have put a lot of effort into their intelligence networks. Otherwise, even if they have many differences, they would have settled this matter by now.
"These are the auras of some important figures. Little Junior Brother, take them. You can take action against them now!" The Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden took out a scroll of jade slip, radiant with spiritual light, and handed it to him. Qin Muling took it and opened it, only to find the names of the powerful figures among the Transcendent Level forces. There were over two hundred in total, either Supreme Sect Masters or core elders, and there were also many figures like Elders and Dao Guardians, Saint Children, and Saint Maidens.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Muling made up his mind, "Alright, let's arrange them according to their cultivation levels! Let's start by killing a group of them. This will reduce the pressure on our side!"
The Divine Abilities "Luck Dissipation" and "Luck Plunder" have greatly increased in power as Qin Muling's cultivation level has improved. They can simultaneously target one hundred targets.
Zi Shiyun, the Grand Palace Master, gently caressed his handle with her jade hand and said in a soft and charming tone, "They should have some means to counter this method. Even if it's not a complete counter, they should be able to weaken its power, right?"
Qin Muling said, "I believe they will, but it's useless. With my current cultivation level, they can no longer suppress me."
If Qin Muling's cultivation level had remained at the Great Principal Golden Immortal stage, the other side's countermeasures would indeed be formidable. But now, he has a cultivation level equivalent to severing the Evil Thought Incarnation. How could they still suppress him like before? It's simply unrealistic.
"Well, since that's the case, then we can rest assured!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao hugged him tightly and took a few bites before reluctantly letting go.
Qin Muling immediately got up and, under the gaze of the four women, selected one hundred targets from the jade slip and cast his spells on them one by one.
The least powerful among these figures have a cultivation level equivalent to severing the Virtuous Thought Incarnation, and the most powerful ones, like Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, have not only stepped into the realm of the Unified Harmony with three corpses, but have also gone far in this realm.
Now that they have been hit, they can only hold on for a year or two at most before their luck is exhausted, their Dao Foundation collapses, and their cultivation regresses, leading to their demise. Truly, in heaven and earth, no one can save them!
Emperor Xin Yu blinked her beautiful eyes, her charming gaze flowing, and asked softly, "Little Junior Brother, this secret technique... won't it cause any irreparable damage to yourself?"
Such a terrifying method cannot be without a price. Even the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus is unlikely to be an exception.
Qin Muling said, "Of course there is. Every time I use this secret technique, it will consume some of my lifespan. But that's nothing. As long as I continue to cultivate with all of you, I can recover quickly."
"That's good then!" Emperor Xin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Zi Shiyun, the Grand Palace Master, also took out a scroll of jade slip and handed it to Qin Muling, saying, "Sister here has also collected a copy. Take it and keep it! After the first batch of important figures are killed, it will be their turn!"
"Okay."
Qin Muling agreed and took the jade slip.
The two jade slips contained a total of over four hundred targets. If they were all destroyed, it would be a devastating blow to the Transcendent Level forces.
Moreover, the Divine Phoenix Palace and the Buddha Domain Pure Land's intelligence network would continue to find ways to collect more powerful cultivators' aura. The Genesis Star Palace and the Monster Emperor Kingdom were also starting similar actions to cooperate with Qin Muling.
"Alright, let's continue practicing for a few more rounds, and then you can go and accompany them!"
Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden eagerly pulled Qin Muling, and her voluptuous and beautiful body pressed down forcefully...
...
In the Upper Realm, the Demon Dao Ancestral Court.
In the magnificent hall, many giants gathered together. Demon Lord Taiyuan sat in the first seat, discussing various issues regarding the expedition to the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
The legions of various Transcendent Level forces and most of the logistical supplies were already in place. Now they were just waiting for the command from the higher-ups to descend upon the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"...My suggestion is to ignore the trivial details and how the Female Cultivators Union Alliance responds. We should concentrate all our forces and directly attack the Immortal Domain where the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace headquarters is located. As long as we break through their mountain guarding formation and capture Qin Muling, the outcome of this war will be in our favor!"
As Demon Lord Taiyuan was speaking, a sudden change occurred.
Supreme Suli Tai, the head of the Blood Purgatory Asura Sect sitting not far away, had a sudden change in his expression. A hint of panic and fear flashed in his eyes, causing him to unconsciously crush the wine bottle in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?"
Demon Lord Taiyuan stopped speaking and looked over with confusion. The surrounding dignitaries also showed surprise.
Suli Tai silently sensed his condition and his face grew darker. He whispered, "I seem to have been cursed by that mysterious curse, and it seems that neither of the two countermeasures are effective. Fellow Daoist Moyuanzi, can you give me a satisfactory explanation?"
"No effect?"
The faces of the many dignitaries present suddenly changed, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense and murderous.
Everyone's gaze fell on the masked figure in the black robe.
It was said that this secret technique it provided could condense a Dao Embryo Demon Seed in the body as long as it was cultivated step by step, which could perfectly transfer and absorb the damage from that mysterious curse.
After repeated testing and verification, the high-level members of these Transcendent Level forces finally decided to cultivate this technique, confirming that there were no other hidden dangers.
Of course, for the sake of caution, the plan led by Demon Lord Taiyuan was still ongoing. Now, a usable Divine Ability had also been developed, which could weaken about seventy percent of the damage from that mysterious curse. This was considered a good result.
And these two Divine Abilities did not conflict with each other, so Suli Tai had also cultivated them.
However, just now, he was horrified to find that when the mysterious curse descended from the sky, the performance of these two Divine Abilities was disappointing. They barely managed to neutralize about ten percent of the damage. What could this achieve?
Moyuanzi, the black-robed figure, slowly stood up and came to Suli Tai. He reached out and probed his condition, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "The situation has indeed changed. That Qin Muling should have already... become a Quasi-Saint Emperor!"
The expression on Demon Lord Taiyuan's face changed slightly: "Quasi-Saint Emperor? Are you sure? How old is he now?"
"That's right. As his cultivation realm improves, the destructive power of this mysterious curse will also increase, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of our restraining methods," explained Moyuanzi, causing the faces of the surrounding important figures to become even more unsightly.
"...Not good, I've been affected too!"
A bald, cold and deep-faced old man suddenly exclaimed, feeling the arrival of that mysterious and mighty power that broke through the void.
"Me too!"
The female Barbarian Divine Emperor's face turned pale. Radiance flickered on her voluptuous body, filled with a wild aura and a sense of power. She used hundreds of Divine Abilities in succession and took out several extraordinary pill bottles. She poured out the pills inside and kept taking them, but the effect was still unsatisfactory.
"I've been affected too!"
"And me!"
"Damn it, I also feel that something is not right..."
"..."
Voices filled with shock and anger resounded one after another. Surprisingly, there were as many as thirty-seven people affected. In the end, even Demon Lord Taiyuan's hands trembled, and his face became so gloomy that it seemed like water would drip from it.
"What...what should we do?"
Demon Lord Taiyuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his heart turned cold.
With the unfortunate example of the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, this Demon Lord naturally understood what being affected meant. Apart from waiting for death, there was no other way.
It was feared that as soon as this news spread, those ambitious individuals within the Demon Dao Ancestral Court would be unable to restrain themselves and would directly drive him off the position of the Supreme Sect Master.
In the treacherous and internally ruthless demonic forces, the losers often ended up dead, and even their souls and true spirits might not be preserved.
"Fellow Daoist, you said that this secret technique is absolutely effective?!"
Sulitai stared coldly at Moyuanzi, and his killing intent slowly rose.
Suddenly, all the important figures looked over. If the fate of falling couldn't be changed, at least they could make this bastard pay the price before leaving!
"Fellow Daoists, please calm down, please calm down,"
After a brief panic, Moyuanzi had already calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Regarding this matter, I still have a way to solve it. The secret technique Divine Ability I gave you all last time was only the first half. I still have the second half here. I originally planned to give it to you all as a thank-you gift after the matter was resolved. Now that the situation has changed, why not bring it out early?"
"Is what you're saying true?"
The Supreme Sect Master of Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, with a slightly eased expression, asked doubtfully.
"Of course, at this critical moment when the situation is uncertain, how could I deceive you, Fellow Daoists?"
With that, Moyuanzi took out a colorful bronze plaque from his spatial Law Weapon and handed it to Demon Lord Taiyuan.
