Chapter 373 Grand Palace Master: I Can Give It To Him!
Chapter 373: Grand Palace Master: This palace can give him!
Regardless of whether Qin Muling is happy or not, since the female immortals of the Divine Phoenix Palace have already appeared in the main hall of the sect, for the next period of time, he is destined to only be able to spend his days in the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
If he can't resist the urge to come out and wander around, he will inevitably face the risk of exposure. With the vision and insight of the Flowing Shadow Sisters, once they see Qin Muling, what happens next will be beyond his control.
The best outcome would be for the Divine Phoenix Palace to provide some compensation and take Qin Muling away. If the two saintesses don't care about appearances, they might just resort to forcefully taking him.
Therefore, even if he is frustrated, Qin Muling can only choose to endure for now.
Fortunately, practicing dual cultivation with his senior sisters, playing games, sitting side by side, massaging legs, and sleeping together under a big blanket... are all extremely enjoyable and pleasurable things. He doesn't feel sad because he lacks any kind of Apex Level enjoyment.
Moreover, the number of Quasi-Saint Emperor lords in the sect is increasing day by day, and the scale of high-level female immortals is already quite considerable, so there is no need to worry about insufficient combat power for the time being.
When necessary, even Master Mu Yinghua would come quietly to accompany Qin Muling, and the three incarnations of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would also do the same. As for the other Quasi-Saint Emperor lords and Great Principal Golden Immortals in the sect, he can freely choose them as long as he wants.
So, Qin Muling lives a life of extravagant desires and indulgence, just like a Supreme Grade tyrant in a secular dynasty, enjoying himself without thinking about returning to reality.
After practicing with his senior sisters for a month, leaving the sleeping quarters to enjoy a feast, eating and drinking to his heart's content, then taking care of the medicinal gardens and spirit fields, and after finishing all the busy work, he continues to practice dual cultivation in seclusion.
Months pass in the blink of an eye, and Qin Muling's cultivation is getting closer to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. It's almost time to consider the matter of Transcending Tribulation.
However, the main hall of the sect is no longer safe. Once Qin Muling appears on the Dao Seeking Peak Immortal Ascension Platform, he will immediately be noticed by the female immortals of the Divine Phoenix Palace. Even if he disguises himself as a woman, it may not be enough to conceal his identity.
So if he wants to Transcend Tribulation, he can only consider leaving the sect and going somewhere else, and then quietly return when his cultivation is stable.
Emperor Tong Ying immediately suggested that Qin Muling could go to the main hall of the Divine Maiden Sect to Transcend Tribulation, and while he's there, he can meet the senior sisters and junior sisters who are staying in the sect, and if he takes a liking to someone, he can bring them back directly.
In fact, she was thinking that if Qin Muling really went to their sect's main hall, increasing the time they spend together might make him develop feelings for her and fulfill her wishes.
However, considering Qin Muling's safety, this matter is quite complicated to handle and leaves no room for error, so Immortal Venerable Qing Yao decided to wait and see.
On the other side, in the temporary residence of the Flowing Shadow Sisters.
In the Cave Mansion, the radiant and graceful sisters were listening to the reports of the female immortals. With their transcendent status, many things are inconvenient for them to personally handle, so they can only delegate them to their subordinates.
After the female immortals finished reporting, they all left under the orders of the Flowing Shadow Sisters, leaving only a few trusted subordinates present, and then the concealment formation was activated.
Liuying Zixi asked softly, "Sister, what do you think?"
Liuying Qingxuan thought for a moment, her eyes slightly serious. "Although it's not obvious on the surface, I always feel that something is not right! The foundation and strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in this Extreme Void Starry Sky are too strong."
Liuying Zixi nodded. Over the past few days, the female immortals of the Divine Phoenix Palace have been busy. They have divided into thousands of teams to explore in various directions, make contact with the surviving sects, gather information from all aspects about the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
The Divine Phoenix Palace is not lacking in spiritual crystals and medicinal resources, and with their overwhelming strength, most sects dare not defy this Transcendent Level force from the upper realm. They are very cooperative, so the actions of the female immortals have been smooth.
Liuying Zixi chuckled softly. "I didn't expect Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace to be so terrifying in the eyes of those sects! Hmm, just a few years ago, this sect was still declining! But in a short period of time, it stopped its decline and rose rapidly, it's simply... how should I put it?"
Liuying Qingxuan frowned and asked, "Could it be that all of this happened after Master Qing Yao returned?"
If it was the work of the founder of the sect after her return, with her intelligence and supreme cultivation, she could naturally easily accomplish all of this.
Liuying Zixi's expression froze for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, "That does make sense, but the timeline doesn't quite match up! There must be other reasons that we don't know yet, and even the secret method of divination can't reveal any clues, so..."
As the future leader of the Divine Phoenix Palace, the two saintesses were not easily fooled. In just over a month, they had collected a lot of information and analyzed it with the help of their trusted subordinates, and naturally noticed many anomalies.
For example, the so-called supreme-level forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the scope of their influence, the size of their sect headquarters, the number of disciples, the number of high-level female immortals, the grade and quantity of innate spiritual treasures, etc., all had established standards. But the current Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace clearly exceeded these standards by a large margin.
Although Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had explained that most of the high-level female immortals came from the upper realm, the Liuying sisters were not convinced.
Moreover, the attitudes of the Divine Maiden Sect, Azure Hill Hall, Flower Dew Palace, and other female cultivation forces were also problematic. The Quasi-Saint Emperor of the Divine Phoenix Palace had tried to contact their disciples, but they were intentionally or unintentionally guarded against him.
In the upper realm, these female cultivation forces actually had a certain degree of connection with the Divine Phoenix Palace, so their attitudes were somewhat intriguing.
At this moment, a beautiful and elegant female emperor spoke, "Your Highness, I went to the territory of the Immemorial Qilin Race before and talked to their patriarch about this matter. According to him, the rapid rise of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is because their sect leader took in a male direct disciple a few years ago!"
"A male disciple?"
Liuying Zixi's expression changed slightly, "Why would that happen? Does this male disciple have any special qualities?"
As a purely female cultivation force, it was absolutely impossible for them to accept male disciples. This was the most fundamental principle that would not be broken under normal circumstances. Just like the Divine Phoenix Palace in the upper realm, from the distant ancient times to the present, billions of years had passed, and not even one male disciple had been registered.
But the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had broken this iron rule, indicating that the identity of that male disciple was extremely extraordinary, to the point where the entire sect's high-level members willingly made an exception for him.
The female emperor continued, "According to the patriarch, the male disciple named Qin Muling is the son of luck in the legend, a special existence in the river of destiny. Whether the Extreme Void Starry Sky can survive this round of calamity depends on him, so he received such special treatment."
"I see," Liuying Qingxuan nodded gently, "No wonder my secret method of divination didn't give any feedback. If he really has such an extraordinary identity, then it can be explained."
"So, the magnificent and incredible luck phenomenon of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, as well as all the extraordinary changes, are mostly because of Qin Muling? Perhaps we should consider meeting him?"
Liuying Zixi chuckled, "We've been here for so long, and Senior Qing Yao has never mentioned this, which means she's hiding something from us. If we directly ask to meet Qin Muling, she will definitely find an excuse to refuse!"
Liuying Qingxuan had no objections to this. Although they were a subordinate sect, due to their good personal relationship with the Grand Palace Master, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the upper realm still retained a considerable degree of autonomy and did not have to follow the Divine Phoenix Palace's arrangements for everything.
But now that they knew about Qin Muling's existence, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened, so they had to deal with this matter.
"Go and invite Senior Qing Yao over! We need to have a good talk!" Liuying Zixi said, "In addition, we need to send someone back to the upper realm to inform the sect leader to be prepared. If the negotiations fail, then we can only..."
The female emperor nodded in agreement, got up, bowed, and then left.
Liuying Qingxuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will there really be a falling out? Senior Qing Yao has a good relationship with us and is also a close friend of the sect leader. If things sour because of this, it feels..."
Liuying Zixi glanced at her sister and said softly, "We are the saintesses of the Divine Phoenix Palace, and naturally, we can only prioritize the interests of the sect. Of course, if Senior Qing Yao's attitude is not so strong, perhaps this matter can be resolved more smoothly?"
"The son of luck in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the key factor in this round of calamity, such a person cannot be monopolized by the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. He can only belong to our Divine Phoenix Palace!"
If Qin Muling's identity is confirmed, he will undoubtedly become an important bargaining chip in the hands of the Divine Phoenix Palace, playing an irreplaceable role in their pursuit of the luck origin of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Liuying Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "But our Divine Phoenix Palace has inherited billions of years of history and has never accepted male disciples. Should we really make a change for him?"
Liuying Zixi chuckled and said, "It depends on how the Sect Master considers it. If he is truly as special as the rumors say, then the rules can be changed!"
Prominent figures are generally pragmatic. If the expected benefits are truly significant enough to be irresistible, then there are no rules that cannot be flexible.
Liuying Qingxuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, if nothing unexpected happens, we will soon have a new junior martial brother? I wonder if the Sect Master will accept him as a named disciple, an outer disciple, an inner disciple, or even the most important direct disciple?"
Liuying Zixi sneered and said, "What's the big deal? If he is truly important, who knows, maybe the Sect Master will appoint him as the Saint Child of the sect! Just like us, he will have the qualifications to compete for the position of Supreme Sect Master in the next generation."
"Is that really possible?"
Liuying Qingxuan's expression froze. To let a man become the Supreme Sect Master of the Divine Phoenix Palace, sister, you really dare to think? If this were to spread, where would the glory and face of the sect's inheritance that has lasted for billions of years be?
Liuying Zixi snorted and said, "What's the big deal? If this Qin Muling can really help the sect compete for the luck origin of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and even help the Sect Master take that step and achieve the eternal and transcendent Supreme Primordial Saint Dao Fruit! Do you think the Sect Master will cherish him?"
"Well, about that..."
Liuying Qingxuan's expression stiffened, her phoenix eyebrows slightly furrowed as she seriously contemplated the possibility of such a thing.
Perhaps compared to the supreme Saint Dao Fruit, those past rules and regulations are indeed insignificant, but he must have the ability for it to matter, otherwise, it's all for naught.
"Alright, don't think too much. We'll know everything once we meet him!"
Liuying Zixi smiled faintly.
Liuying Qingxuan nodded thoughtfully. If this matter can be successfully negotiated, with just this achievement, the two of them can surpass their competitors and become the most highly anticipated candidates for the next generation's Supreme Sect Master.
Don't forget the seventy-two saintesses of the Divine Phoenix Palace, each one of them possessing exceptional talent, great luck, and blessings far surpassing the imagination of the monstrous geniuses. Especially with their extremely powerful family backgrounds and the support of numerous influential figures.
To defeat so many competitors and qualify for the position of the next Supreme Sect Master, it is not something that can be achieved solely through personal efforts, luck is the key.
The sound of slow footsteps echoed, and dozens of empresses with different appearances but all stunningly beautiful entered, bowing before hiding behind the cloud-patterned crystal ink jade screens on both sides at Liuying Zixi's signal, concealing their breaths as well.
After a moment, the graceful figure of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao slowly walked in, followed by three major avatars, each one with a tense expression.
"Senior Martial Uncle seems a bit unfriendly?"
Liuying Zixi stood up gracefully, her smile radiant as she said, "Could it be that there are some hidden secrets in the sect, which is why you are wary of us?"
Liuying Qingxuan looked at her sister with some speechlessness. This statement... it's like stirring up trouble for no reason.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao remained silent for a few moments, then sighed softly, "With your insight and vision, you can probably think of everything. What else can I say? I can only say that it's fate!"
This founding ancestor of the sect did indeed have some regrets, but if time could be reversed, it seems that nothing would be different.
After all, the Divine Phoenix Palace is truly too powerful!
Powerful to the point where the current Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is completely powerless to contend with. Even though, due to Qin Muling's presence, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in both time and space is now more than ten times stronger than before, it is still not enough when facing such an established Transcendent Level force.
It is precisely because of her close relationship with the Grand Palace Master that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao knows very well the terrifying heritage that the Divine Phoenix Palace has accumulated over billions of years!
Even if she were to immediately take Qin Muling and flee to the chaotic void, it seems that the problem would still not be solved.
The hundreds of billions of disciples from the Upper Realm and the Extreme Void Starry Sky, as well as the foundations accumulated through countless years of hard work, how could they just give up like that?
The only fortunate thing is that the first force to come to the Extreme Void Starry Sky is the Divine Phoenix Palace, so there is still room for negotiation. If it were the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace, the Monster Emperor Kingdom, or the Magic Dao Ancestral Court, Transcendent Level forces like them, there wouldn't even be a chance for negotiation.
Once those ruthless and cunning Apex Level powerhouses learn of Qin Muling's existence, they will definitely rush to snatch him away and annihilate the entire Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, leaving no one alive.
Liuying Zixi nodded slightly, "If you can say that, then things will be much easier! Bring Qin Muling out for us sisters to see. If you can convince him to join the Divine Phoenix Palace, then I, as well as the forces behind me, will definitely provide generous compensation. We will not let you down, Senior Brother!"
"If you are willing, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will receive the utmost goodwill from us sisters. If we can win the position of the Supreme Sect Master in the future, we will definitely not mistreat the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sneered, "Just these benefits, and you think you can exchange for... it's far from enough! Moreover, I think your Master should personally come over. Only she can decide such a significant matter!"
Liuying Qingxuan frowned, "Senior Brother, are you joking? Is this matter worth our Sect Master personally coming over? Is he that important?"
"More important than you can imagine," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said expressionlessly, "Believe me, once the Grand Palace Master receives the news, she will definitely take this matter seriously. After all, it concerns the future of the sect and her chance of achieving enlightenment! Of course, your contributions are not to be underestimated!"
"..." Liuying Zixi pursed her lips and stared deeply at Immortal Venerable Qing Yao for a while before finally conceding, "Alright! I will invite our Master to come over. I hope you're not joking, Senior Brother."
She waved her hand, and another Empress walked out.
Now, the two-way transmission array in the secret realm behind the sect has been temporarily taken over by the Divine Phoenix Palace, making communication convenient.
One day later.
A majestic and ethereal voice, pleasing to the ear, resounded deep in the souls of all the female immortals in the Cave Mansion, "Qing Yao, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to hide such a big surprise from your sister! It's simply... how can I thank you enough?"
The lingering sound gradually faded, and a slender and beautiful figure, shrouded in a mysterious and hazy radiance, quietly appeared in front of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. The magnificent and enchanting aura made it difficult to see her facial features clearly.
Although she had completely restrained her own aura, female immortals who had reached a certain level of cultivation still felt a suffocating and profound sense of awe from the depths of their souls when facing her, unable to harbor any rebellious thoughts.
This is the Grand Palace Master of the Divine Phoenix Palace, who has held power over this Transcendent Level force for countless years. It is rumored that her cultivation is close to the highest Saint Realm in the Upper Realm.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sighed softly and said, "Sister, I hope you are well. Please dismiss those around us and let me explain the cause and effect in detail."
With the Grand Palace Master's insight, she must have already noticed more unusual aspects, so for the future of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, this matter needs to be discussed clearly now.
The Grand Palace Master was not surprised, "Alright, let's find a place with no one around to talk."
The two women's figures quietly disappeared.
In the perception of the Liuying sisters, it seemed like only an instant had passed, yet it also felt like several days and nights had gone by. The figures of the Grand Palace Master and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao reappeared in the original location, but they didn't know what means they had used.
"The matter is settled like this," the Grand Palace Master said, "Now, bring Qin Muling over for me to see! As long as you can convince him to cooperate, no matter what he wants, I can give it to him!"
