Chapter 400: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: Junior Brother has the potential of a Great Emperor!
Immemorial Witch World.
In the dim and deep hall permeated with a thick aura of Time Qi, Qi Wushang slowly opened his eyes within the formation.
"Is this... finally a success?"
After sensing his internal state, this esteemed Supreme Sect Master, despite being extremely weak, felt the terrifying sensation deep within his soul, which was like a festering sore, had disappeared into nothingness.
"Fortunately, I have not let down my mission!"
The indifferent voice of the Witch Emperor echoed from afar. At this moment, he sat at the edge of the formation, holding his scepter, his fatigue evident. He spoke slowly and methodically, saying, "Fellow Daoist, your fortune is not too bad. Although you have lost half of your lifespan, as long as you cultivate quietly for a period of time, there may still be a chance for recovery."
"This is a very good result. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your assistance!"
Qi Wushang truly breathed a sigh of relief as he sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Regardless of the exaggerated cost, the fact that the other party was able to resolve such a fatal hidden danger for him was equivalent to saving his path and grand undertaking. He was worthy of the thanks and favor from this Supreme Sect Master.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Wushang continued to ask, "There are still thirteen disciples in the sect who have been affected. Since Your Majesty has already found a solution to the problem, can you help them eliminate the calamity as well? As for the cost... I will pay it in full!"
The Witch Emperor fell silent for a while before speaking softly, "Of course, but there is one thing I must remind you. This hidden and terrifying curse attack is not something that will not reappear. If your mysterious enemy refuses to give up and continues to target Absolute Beginning Dao Palace... I'm afraid we will be powerless."
"..."
Qi Wushang's expression stiffened, and the relaxed state of mind he had just experienced tightened once again.
The Witch Emperor's words were unpleasant to hear, but they did point out the key issue. If the enemy lurking in the dark insisted on not giving up and continued to target Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, things would indeed become difficult.
They couldn't rely on Witch World for help every time, could they? Even if they could, how long could the sect's resources support it?
"So, for me, this grudge is impossible to resolve?"
Qi Wushang asked in a low voice.
The Witch Emperor nodded gently, "The key lies in the attitude of the other party. If he is willing to stop here, then it will naturally be a happy ending for everyone. If he is unwilling..."
At this point, the Witch Emperor sighed, "Bring those thirteen people over. After we resolve their hidden dangers, at least for our Witch World, this matter will be considered concluded."
"For the tranquility and peace of Witch World, even if such a situation occurs again in the future, we will not intervene."
Qi Wushang's expression fluctuated. With his intelligence, he immediately understood the Witch Emperor's meaning. The Witch Emperor was worried that their actions would provoke the wrath of the mysterious enemy, who would then target Witch World instead.
At that time, the core high-level members of Witch World might be able to protect themselves, but the lower-ranking disciples and the billions of Witch World citizens outside would suffer.
Obviously, while they were willing to help, Immemorial Witch World had no intention of being tied to Absolute Beginning Dao Palace. It was only reasonable to sever ties as soon as possible.
Want to form an alliance?
Sorry, Immemorial Witch World stood on its own, living in seclusion for far too long without forming an alliance with any power. Why should Absolute Beginning Dao Palace be an exception?
"Never mind, let's take it step by step!"
Qi Wushang sighed deeply, bowed once again, and then turned to leave the hall.
Regardless of the situation, this was already quite an ideal outcome for his current self. Moreover, he had no confidence to offend Immemorial Witch World.
As for future matters... we can only leave it to fate!
...
Illusory Mist Secret Realm.
In the main hall of the Divine Palace, more than ten remaining Heavenly Human Race Quasi-Saint Emperors were in discussion, with Zi Huang and Ling Xi sisters also present.
Some of them had recently returned from the chaotic void, but their cultivation levels were not too high, at most reaching the level of severing their second bodies, which was better than nothing.
In the center of the hall, a golden moon-shaped projection clearly displayed various scenes on the vast land.
Majestic and treacherous towering mountains, deep and mysterious valleys, vast and boundless abysses, lush and verdant primeval forests, and scorching and unbearable deserts... Various terrains and landscapes flashed by in the projection.
However, the deep and painful throb in the hearts of the high-level Heavenly Human Race members was caused by the occasional appearance of Transcendent Level sinkholes on the vast land, with diameters ranging from tens of millions to even billions of miles. These sinkholes deeply pierced the hearts of the Heavenly Human Race present.
The appearance of each sinkhole meant that a treasure trove with beautiful environment, abundant spiritual veins, and extremely rich heavenly materials and earthly treasures had been completely dug up and taken back to the Extreme Void Starry Sky by unknown means.
"... How much longer do we have to wait for the ancestors to return from the depths of the chaotic void?" murmured Emperor Yuan Xi, unable to bear the pain every time he looked at it. He had truly had enough in these past few days.
Since the birth of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, when has the great Heavenly Human Race ever suffered such a humiliation?
"It won't be long, maybe another three to five years! The depths of the chaotic void are dangerous and unpredictable, so we can't rush this matter," said Emperor Bai Yuan with a cold expression.
Emperor Yuan Xi actually understood this approximate timeframe. As long as these powerful ancestors of the Heavenly Human Race returned, they could wipe away their previous shame and recover all their losses with interest.
"What do you think, which force in the Extreme Void Starry Sky is most likely responsible for this? Could it be the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?" asked a recently returned Quasi-Saint Emperor.
Emperor Bai Yuan nodded slightly, "Although there isn't much evidence, the previous defeat is enough to explain the problem. It is rumored that their founding ancestor in the Upper Realm has returned to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and they probably have other powerful reinforcements, which led to the failure of our ancestors."
"But this is not a problem. When the true foundation of our Heavenly Human Race is revealed, no matter how powerful they are, they will be completely wiped out, along with the foundation of the Extreme Void Starry Sky..."
Before the words could finish, a Heavenly Human Race divine general rushed into the hall in a panic, his face pale, and he spoke incoherently, "Ex... extinguished... extinguished... something big... gone..."
Emperor Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious, "What nonsense are you spouting? Don't you know where you are? Drag him out and give him a severe beating!"
Immediately, dozens of golden-armored and stern-faced divine guards surrounded him, ready to drag him away.
The divine general trembled and spoke more clearly, "My lords, something big has happened. Just now, news came from the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm that the ancestral soul lamps of those ancestors who have not yet returned... have all been extinguished!"
...
This statement was like a thunderclap in the hall, and all the Quasi-Saint Emperors fell silent.
"Repeat what you just said!" Emperor Yuan Xi tightly grasped the armrest of his throne, stared fiercely at the messenger, and gritted his teeth as he growled.
All the high-level members' gazes turned towards the unfortunate messenger, pressuring him.
The divine general inwardly lamented his misfortune, his body trembling slightly, and he repeated what he had seen in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm. Nearly seventy percent of the ancestral soul lamps of the Heavenly Human Race ancestors had suddenly extinguished, meaning that they had all encountered calamities and their souls had perished, with no possibility of reincarnation.
What's more, the group of ancestors with the highest cultivation level are among them, especially the Greybeard Daoist, who is recorded in the Heavenly Human Race secret files as the most powerful being closest to the Supreme Primordial Saint realm.
In other words, the last hope for the revival of the Heavenly Human Race has completely turned into a pipe dream!
Upon confirming the news, Emperor Yuan Xi felt dizzy and almost fainted. A voice kept echoing in his mind: "It's over, it's all over..."
Emperor Bai Yuan also felt a chill in his hands and feet, and his mind went blank. Is the Heavenly Human Race really going to be at the mercy of others?
What should we do?!
...
In the chaotic void.
"... The fundamental laws of Luck Dissipation and Luck Plunder have indeed been erased by unknown means."
In the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, on a large embroidered bed filled with a fragrant aroma, Qin Muling, who had turned over, held the round and tall Snow Child in his arms and spoke softly.
Truly worthy of being the helm of a Transcendent Level power, even in the face of such unprecedented troubles, there are ultimately more solutions than difficulties.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that the other thirteen targets may also have the possibility of resolving the hidden dangers. After all, there is a successful precedent to follow, and the cost of subsequent operations should be much lower.
"It's not a big deal," said the glamorous and charming Grand Palace Master, holding him tightly, her beautiful legs pressing against his waist, her enchanting eyes filled with tenderness. "It's just allowing him to live a little longer. Next time, they won't be so lucky!"
Qin Muling nodded and thought for a moment before asking, "Master, which Transcendent Level power do you think is most likely to solve this problem?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao beside him said, "It should be the Buddha Domain Pure Land and the Immemorial Witch World that have the highest possibility, right? As for other Transcendent Level powers, there may be a way, but Absolute Beginning Dao Palace has always had a strained relationship with them, so it's unlikely that Qi Wushang will seek their help."
"Buddha Domain Pure Land? Immemorial Witch World?" Qin Muling muttered softly several times, instinctively feeling that the suspicion of the Immemorial Witch World was greater. After all, his two innate Divine Abilities could be considered a kind of witchcraft curse, but more profound and unpredictable, directly targeting the fundamental laws of the Dao.
So it made logical sense that the Immemorial Witch World had the ability to solve this problem.
"Have we, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, had any dealings with the Immemorial Witch World in the past?" Qin Muling asked.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao shook her head, and the Grand Palace Master also said, "Normal business and trade, and mutual communication do exist, but deeper friendship is basically non-existent. Their high-level members are stubborn, traditional, and extremely conservative, and they rarely form alliances with external powers!"
"That's good then!" Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief. If, for some reason, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance had to confront this power in the future, she wouldn't be completely helpless and could deal with them freely.
"However," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao continued, "the Immemorial Witch World has always adhered to the principle of neutrality and has never changed for billions of years. It's not necessarily our enemy. If the situation allows in the future, we might even be able to incorporate them for our use!"
Qin Muling pondered, "It doesn't seem that easy, does it? Since they are so stubborn and resistant to change, how could they willingly submit to others? I'm afraid they would rather be wiped out than accept such a result."
The Grand Palace Master smiled lightly, "Under normal circumstances, of course it's impossible, but don't you exist? As long as your true identity is known to the outside world at the right time, do you think those old folks from the Immemorial Witch World will bow down?"
For a moment, Qin Muling fell silent. The transformed body of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus was indeed a trump card that could make the high-level members of those Transcendent Level powers tempted.
In a situation where Qin Muling's strength is sufficient and forcibly plundering is no longer feasible, the most appropriate strategy is to befriend her, do everything possible to maintain a good relationship, and at the very least, not become enemies.
"So, in the future, our Female Cultivators Union Alliance's identity in the new time and space should be..." Qin Muling furrowed her brows and asked.
"Of course, it will be the one and only immortal Sacred Land, the Supreme Immortal Court!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with a smile. "And little junior brother, you will naturally be the Supreme Immortal Emperor, and the senior sisters will become your divine concubines. How about that? Do you like this outcome?"
"...Can it be like this?" Qin Muling was taken aback. She hadn't thought about this possibility before. It seemed that they had discussed it beforehand. Since they couldn't be separated from Qin Muling anyway, why not bind their fates together in this way?
"Of course it can be like this!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao seized the opportunity and spoke in a soft and charming voice. "With your transcendent status, the position of Supreme Immortal Emperor belongs to you alone. There is no one else who can bear this heavy responsibility. Hmm, the senior sisters will only accept you!"
Originally, Qin Muling was destined to become the Supreme Primordial Saint, and as long as they held onto him, their future enlightenment and eternal life were within reach.
"I hope so!" Qin Muling didn't say anything else. It seemed that they had already prepared most of the things, and she didn't need to worry about anything. She just needed to accompany her master and senior sisters in their cultivation.
"Alright, let's cultivate again now! And then..." The Grand Palace Master said, but was suddenly attracted by the commotion outside.
At this moment, the cold and glamorous lady in black armor and black dress, who was responsible for guarding, looked solemnly at the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore outside. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
In the chaotic tide millions of miles away, two Innate Chaotic Divine Demons with human heads and leopard bodies stared coldly at the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore. Their imposing pressure showed no sign of retreat or compromise.
Behind them was a golden vortex with a diameter of tens of thousands of zhang, and in the core area of that vortex, there was a golden basin with a diameter of three hundred zhang, ancient in shape and radiating colorful light.
Outside the golden vortex, there was a transparent light curtain with forty-nine layers, indicating that it was another Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure of the same rank as the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore!
She pursed her lips. These two big guys should be a pair. Even with her knowledge and experience, it was extremely rare to see two Innate Chaotic Divine Demons of this level in the same tribe.
This not only meant that they were formidable themselves, but also indicated that their tribe behind them was unusually powerful. Whether it was territory or the size of the tribe, it far surpassed other Innate Chaotic Divine Demons. In this chaotic void of billions of trillions of miles, it was probably all their territory.
After a moment, Qin Muling, the Grand Palace Master, and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, who had received the news, tidied up their clothes and left the chamber, coming outside together.
"Should we fight?" Qin Muling asked in a low voice.
"Of course we should fight. How can we let go of such a good treasure when we see it?" The Grand Palace Master responded. That was a forty-nine-layer Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions, and there was no way they could ignore it.
"But it will be very difficult!"
"It's okay. As long as you're here, as long as you don't perish on the spot, we can recover," the Grand Palace Master said.
"Alright then!"
