Chapter 447: People Who Are Not Of My Race Must Have Different Hearts!
Chapter 447: Those who are not of our clan will have different hearts!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Muling finished her cultivation with Linghu Xuelan and, after eating and drinking her fill, began to assist her senior sisters in handling various matters within the sect.
Monster Emperor, accompanied by his sister Linghu Qingya, witnessed firsthand the incredible power of Qin Muling's divine abilities. He helped them heal their injuries, transcend tribulations, manage the medicinal garden, purify and transform the desolate void floating lands contaminated by demonic energy, and more.
Of course, the most important thing was cultivating together with her senior sisters. The awe-inspiring power of the Paradise of Utmost Bliss formation left even Linghu Xuelan, a Monster Emperor Supreme who had seen it all, deeply shocked.
With one month as the deadline, taking into account the acceleration effect of the time acceleration formation, it was enough to produce a certain number of newly promoted Quasi-Saint Emperors, as well as thousands of Great Principal Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals.
Five hundred pieces? One thousand pieces? Or even ten thousand pieces of Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures... Can they be compared to the current Qin Muling?
Such thoughts emerged in Linghu Xuelan's mind, but were quickly extinguished. Little junior brother was unique, and nothing external could be compared to him! That would be disrespectful to him.
Anyway, she had finally reunited with him, and they would never be separated again in this lifetime! Linghu Xuelan told herself this in her heart.
After busy months, when everything temporarily settled down, Linghu Xuelan set off with Qin Muling. Emperor Bing Chan, Linghu Qingya, and more than a dozen other elders who had severed their Three Corpses Incarnation accompanied them.
Under Qin Muling's full control of mana, the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore teleported several times, leaving the boundary of the Extreme Void Starry Sky and entering the chaotic void.
On the way, Linghu Xuelan explained some of the situations in the depths of the chaotic void to Qin Muling.
Because both she and the Genesis Star Palace's master had strong cultivation, the two women often traveled together to the depths of the chaotic void in their early years, seeking opportunities and accumulating great wealth.
"... Sister, are you saying that the ruins and secret realms in that place were left behind after the destruction of a Great World?"
Qin Muling asked with surprise in the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
"Yes, and in the depths of the endless chaotic void, there is more than one or two such ruins and secret realms. Some of them are so vast that it is hard to imagine."
Linghu Xuelan said with certainty. The larger the range of the ruins, the higher the level of the world back then. Even Great Worlds that were comparable to the upper realms, or even surpassed them, were not uncommon.
Such temporal worlds often had grand and complete systems of the laws of the Great Dao, far more complex than what ordinary powerful beings could imagine.
In these vast and magnificent higher worlds, there were naturally many powerful existences, including those close to the Saint Supreme realm.
However, in the face of endless time, they all eventually returned to dust and soil. Even the entire Great World had fallen into silence, leaving only remnants and ruins for later generations to remember and explore.
"This is the fate of all temporal Great Worlds. Without your appearance, it is hard to say what the future of the Extreme Void Starry Sky would be. Even if it is not integrated into the Unified Harmony of the upper realms, it would still continue to decline... Even the upper realms... who knows, after countless calamities, they may also exhaust their source of luck and become one of the dead temporal worlds!"
Linghu Xuelan patiently explained. The so-called eternal and immortal things simply did not exist in this world, whether it was living beings or the worlds themselves, at least that was how it used to be.
As for the future... it was hard to say. Perhaps after Qin Muling became a Saint Emperor, everything would be different?
...
Upper Realm, Demon Dao Ancestral Court.
In a thatched cottage, Demon Lord Taiyuan surveyed the entire scene and felt somewhat satisfied. Compared to last time, there were several new faces present this time, all of them well-known figures in the Upper Realm.
This meant that the high-level powers of various Transcendent Level forces had begun to realize the potential threat posed by the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, and were willing to stand together with Demon Dao Ancestral Court to seek common prosperity and pursue great achievements.
"Since everyone is here, let's summarize and share the information we have collected recently!" Demon Lord Taiyuan coughed lightly and spoke.
The many prominent figures present nodded one after another, then took out their respective intelligence. This was a rare opportunity to showcase and flaunt their own intelligence networks and capabilities.
Transcendent Level forces were also divided into different tiers, with the top few being in a completely different league from the lower-ranked ones.
The general consensus was that the overall strength of Demon Dao Ancestral Court should be able to rank in the top five among Transcendent Level forces, surpassing the previous Divine Phoenix Palace by a considerable margin.
Of course, the current rapid rise in strength of the Divine Phoenix Palace and the Buddha Domain Pure Land was already a semi-public fact. As for the former Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, it should be able to rank in the top twenty. After suffering repeated setbacks, it had now fallen to the lower echelons of the Transcendent Level forces.
As for the once top-ranked Genesis Star Palace, after years of constant warfare with the Monster Emperor's realm, it had suffered immense losses in all aspects. Coupled with the fact that the owner of the Star Palace rarely appeared, its current strength was far from what it used to be.
In mid-air, colorful lights flowed and shimmered, with radiant characters floating in the air. They integrated and condensed on their own, finally forming a report of tens of thousands of words.
The many powerful beings looked up at the same time, instantly grasping the content and showing various expressions. Some furrowed their brows in contemplation, some smiled faintly, some gasped in astonishment, and some looked worried. Their expressions were varied.
"If these pieces of information are not false, the true strength and foundation of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance truly make me lose sleep!" Lord Wuxin Dao caressed the sword in his arms and said with a solemn expression.
In short, the current Female Cultivators Union Alliance, with its high-level combat power at the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, is roughly equivalent to ten ordinary Transcendent Level forces in the past, or perhaps even higher?
The enchanting and beautiful Female Barbarian Emperor said expressionlessly, "Actually, this information should not be the most important or crucial. The most deadly problem should be the speed at which their strength is increasing, which is much faster than ours."
"In short, if their strength continues to grow at this abnormally fast pace, perhaps in a hundred or eighty years, we will not have enough power to suppress them." Lord Taiyuan said.
"A hundred or eighty years? Is it really that fast?" Empress Chouyou Blood Lotus asked in surprise. In the past, there had never been any Transcendent Level force that could suppress all opponents in just a hundred or eighty years.
Not to mention a hundred or eighty years, even a dozen or so Yuanhui would not be too long for a Quasi-Saint Emperor-level immortal.
Lord Taiyuan sighed, "It's unbelievable, but we have no choice but to believe it! If we don't take timely measures, the heritage and foundation of all of us will be swallowed and plundered by those women!"
Sulitai blinked his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "Is their rapid increase in strength all because of Qin Muling? Does he have such ability?"
"The specific details are unclear, but currently, this is the most reasonable speculation!" Lord Wuxin Dao said coldly. "From our standpoint, we must find a way to quickly disrupt the rapid rise of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance and capture Qin Muling. Only then can we rest assured."
Sulitai nodded, "Makes sense. We must allocate more resources and manpower to ensure the success of the secret plan we are currently implementing. If I'm not mistaken, that mysterious method of killing without a trace should be from Qin Muling himself, right?"
The crowd's expressions were slightly shocked, but upon careful consideration, they found it quite reasonable. Apart from Qin Muling herself, it was indeed unlikely for others to possess such terrifying means that could threaten the life and death of a powerful being like the Three Corpses Incarnation.
"Could we not start the war earlier?" someone with great power asked in a cold tone. "For us, only by destroying this Female Cultivators Union Alliance as soon as possible can we have peaceful days. Otherwise, if we delay any longer, who knows what unexpected events may occur?"
No one could guarantee whether the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would strike first. This eerie and terrifying Divine Ability was like a deadly blade hanging over their heads. Once targeted, there was no other way but to wait for death.
"Originally, starting the war early would not be a problem, but with this hidden danger unresolved, we dare not attempt it rashly!"
The Female Barbarian Empress sighed softly. If they were to start the war now, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would undoubtedly fight to the death, and Qin Muling would not sit idly by either.
As long as the war could be delayed for a year or two, numerous powerful beings would perish under this Divine Ability secret technique. No one dared to claim that they could escape unscathed.
At that time, even if they won the war, it would be a result of mutual destruction. The fate of the various Transcendent Level forces would not be too good.
The Demon Abyss Demon Lord looked at the expressions of the many important figures and a deep and unfathomable smile appeared on his lips as he gently said, "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry. I recently hired a guest, and perhaps everyone can listen to his opinion on this matter."
"???"
Many gazes turned towards him, somewhat surprised at what kind of backhand this demonic giant had prepared.
At this moment, a figure with a mysterious and elusive aura suddenly appeared beside the Demon Abyss Demon Lord, wrapped in a thick black robe.
Among the many important figures present, only about thirty percent could see how it had appeared. However, everyone could confirm that this fellow was not a human, at least not purely of human bloodline.
"As for my name... there's no need to mention it," the person in the black robe spoke with a deep and hoarse voice, tinged with a strange tremor. "Fellow Daoists, if you want to join forces to deal with the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, it happens to be my goal as well. So we can cooperate completely."
The Unintentional Dao Lord's expression became solemn as he looked deeply at the Demon Abyss Demon Lord and slowly asked, "Fellow Daoist Demon Abyss, I wonder what your intentions are?"
Everyone present was not foolish. Since this unknown foreign powerhouse appeared, the direction of the situation seemed to have subtly changed, giving the big shots present a somewhat uneasy feeling.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, let alone picking up benefits for nothing. This unknown creature actually wanted to cooperate with them? It seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
The smile on the Demon Abyss Demon Lord's face carried a hint of depth and unfathomability. "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry about my sincerity. Regardless of anything, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is our common enemy now. In order to destroy them, no matter what our past relationships were, we can temporarily set aside our prejudices and cooperate, right?"
The scene fell silent, and all the important figures remained silent.
The Demon Dao Ancestral Court was not a place for the virtuous, especially someone like the Demon Abyss Demon Lord, who had been around for thousands of years. Without informing them, he quietly brought in a foreign powerhouse. Who knows what this guy is up to?
A few powerful beings had even begun to consider retreating, feeling that they should not have gotten involved in this mess in the first place.
The person in the black robe chuckled strangely and said, "Since that's the case, in order to gain your trust, I will first present a gift!"
A large dark blood-colored mana projection mirror quietly took shape. On its smooth surface, mosquito-sized golden characters floated, forming tens of thousands of words.
This is an unprecedented Divine Ability secret technique.
"Hmm? This, this is..."
Wuxin Daojun's expression changed slightly as he stared at the mana projection mirror. With his vision, he naturally understood that this was an extremely profound and mysterious technique. As for its purpose...
"This secret technique can effectively restrain Qin Muling's strange Divine Ability,"
Taiyuan Mozun didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, "As long as you Fellow Daoists remember this technique and practice it step by step, you will soon be able to condense a special demonic seed embryo. With its help, you can transfer and absorb the damage from various witchcraft curses and secret techniques. I have already tried it, and the effect is unexpectedly good!"
"You can bestow this technique to all the Quasi-Saint Emperor level disciples and elders within the sect. Once they have achieved some success in their cultivation, we can start preparing for a full-scale war against the Female Cultivators Union Alliance!"
Chiyoublood Lotus Empress blinked her bright eyes and asked, "The value of this secret technique is not insignificant. Fellow Daoist, why did you bring it out? What do you want from us?"
"Of course, it is for Qin Muling,"
The black-robed figure didn't conceal his thoughts at all, "After you Fellow Daoists have achieved great success, I request to borrow Qin Muling for three months. Apart from that, I have no other demands. I won't take a single bit of the vast wealth and resources of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. How about it?"
...
The important figures looked at each other, their eyes flickering.
At first glance, this request was not excessive, and it could even be said to be quite generous. But precisely because of this, they found it hard to believe.
Different hearts beat in different chests.
An alien powerhouse with no connection to the human race, who knows what kind of conspiracy and tricks it is planning?
After all, the big shots present basically represented more than half of the Transcendent Level forces in the upper realm. If they were deceived by this alien, the consequences would be a great blow to the vitality of the entire cultivation world.
If there were powerful foreign enemies from different time and space taking advantage of the situation to invade, what would the upper realm use to resist and counterattack?
"Fellow Daoists... do you not trust me?"
Taiyuan Mozun surveyed the audience, speaking calmly, "The threat of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is right in front of us. If we still can't let go of our prejudices and cooperate, do we really have to wait until the future when they are fully grown and break them one by one?"
"When we formed the alliance, we already made a solemn oath, that no one can betray the alliance or infringe upon the core interests of our allies. I understand your doubts, but I have no intention of deceiving you."
Sulitai looked at this demonic giant without expression and silently said to himself, "I'm afraid this old guy is inviting trouble into our home. In the end, he might be devoured by the other party, leaving nothing but bones!"
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Taiyuan Mozun deliberately colluded with this mysterious alien, conspiring together to deceive other Transcendent Level forces, and then negotiate the division of spoils after succeeding.
"If you Fellow Daoists still have concerns, then... let's make another solemn oath? I will also participate, so you should feel at ease, right?"
After a moment of silence, the black-robed figure finally spoke.
