Chapter 367: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao Returns
Playing the balance also requires strength.
Without enough strength, one can only implement a strategy of choosing sides, finding a powerful backer and clinging to them. This is the wisest way to survive.
Clearly, if one has weak power and still acts indecisively and jumps back and forth, they will inevitably be despised and detested by all major forces. If things go wrong, they might join forces to eliminate you!
Due to the influence of past habitual thinking, Yun Miaozi still hasn't completely adjusted to her current position. She doesn't understand that the Palace of Calamitous Fate, which has been repeatedly devastated, is no longer the old Supreme-level orthodox force it used to be. Even with the founding ancestor presiding over it, it is already difficult to maintain a minimum level of dignity. How can they expect more?
"...I think it might be worth taking a look first," Yun Miaozi said after weighing the options for a long time. "Since this battle can still be fought, let them continue to wear each other down! If they end up mutually destroying each other in the end, it would be the best outcome for us!"
The goal of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, just like the Upper Realm, is to seek the luck of the Extreme Void Starry Sky and the origin of the world. Even if they are temporarily unable to obtain it, they cannot let other forces get it.
Immortal Venerable Zi Yang nodded gently. "Very well, let it be so."
At this moment, Mei Qingfeng couldn't help but speak up. "Ancestor, perhaps I can find a way to infiltrate Dao Court and take action when the opportunity arises. In case the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is defeated and Qin Muling is captured by Dao Court, I can try to get close to him and, if lucky, even secretly bring him back!"
Yun Miaozi shook her head. "How easy do you think that would be? Don't daydream!"
Since they already know that Qin Muling has transformed into an Innate Primordial Spirit Root, those old folks from Dao Court will definitely be on high alert, with a senior Quasi-Saint Emperor watching him day and night. Mei Qingfeng is not even a Taiyi Golden Immortal yet, and he wants to cause trouble right under their noses. That would be an insult to their intelligence.
Mei Qingfeng, however, said, "This plan is indeed extremely difficult, but for the sake of the revival of our sect, we must give it a try. Besides, even if it's impossible, I have a way to protect myself. I hope Ancestor will support me!"
Unlike the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, Dao Court is a mixed bag internally, and there is no powerful tool like the Heart Tribulation Dao Interrogating Lotus to identify undercover agents. Therefore, the difficulty of infiltrating Dao Court is obviously much lower.
If Qin Muling really falls into the hands of Dao Court in the future, Mei Qingfeng believes that with her talent and divine abilities, she will be able to find an opportunity to get close to him, regardless of her cultivation level. It's not necessary to have a high cultivation level to accomplish things.
Yun Miaozi frowned and remained silent, while Immortal Venerable Zi Yang looked at her with surprise, his gaze showing a slight fluctuation. "You, little girl, do have some courage. Let's wait and see for now. If Dao Court really has a chance of success in the future, perhaps I can let you give it a try."
Thinking to herself, Yun Miaozi is a bit useless, but her disciples can still be considered decent. Their aptitude and talent are passable. Should she give them some benefits to nurture them?
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Mei Qingfeng rushed to pay his respects.
...
In the Immortal Domain, at the main hall of the Great Brahman Sound Monastery.
In the secret cave of the sect's back mountain, over a hundred Buddha elders who had returned from the upper realm gathered together. Among them were both men and women, and their cultivation levels were all at the Quasi-Saint Emperor level. In addition, the Venerable Mo Xuan, the abbot of the Great Brahman Sound Monastery, and other high-ranking members were present.
At this moment, the gaze of many powerful figures fell on a purple-golden bowl in the center of the secret cave.
This bowl spewed out a large amount of purple mist and condensed into a clear mirror of magical power, showing the scene of a fierce battle in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's main hall.
"...What are the chances of winning?"
After a while, an old monk with long white eyebrows asked slowly.
A nearby female bodhisattva, her face covered by a light veil and wearing a fairy-like dress, smiled slightly. "According to common sense, the victory and defeat should be evenly matched. Both sides have a chance to win this battle that concerns the life and death of their respective sects, but it is also possible for both sides to lose everything."
"But the Apex Level experts of the Dao Court are more numerous. It is said that Xiong Tianhe has completely severed his three corpse incarnations not long ago, and there are a few other fellow disciples who are slightly inferior in strength assisting him. On the other hand, in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, there seems to be only one expert at the same level, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. So the disadvantage is obvious. If it weren't for the advantage of defense and the support of this Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, perhaps the outcome of this battle would have been decided by now!"
The Buddha elders nodded one after another. Judging solely from the current balance of power, the chances of victory for the Dao Court are indeed greater. Qin Muling's role is undoubtedly important, but he has not yet grown up. Relying solely on supreme luck, it seems insufficient to ensure the victory of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
Venerable Mo Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Ancestors, since we have already bet on the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, should we lend a helping hand now? After all, if the Dao Court wins, all our previous investments will be in vain!"
A compassionate and clear-eyed Buddha elder looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Venerable Mo Xuan said in a deep voice, "Deploy enough forces to attack the key positions of the Dao Court! I don't believe they will remain indifferent after receiving the news. As long as they withdraw, the predicament of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will naturally cease to exist!"
"Not appropriate!"
The white-eyebrowed Buddha elder shook his head. "If we act now, the strength of the Dao Court camp has not suffered any substantial damage. If Xiong Tianhe becomes angry and concentrates his forces to attack our Buddhist sect, even if we are not afraid, the losses will certainly not be small! So we must choose the right time."
"Your words are wise!"
A group of venerable Buddhist elders nodded in agreement. Adding flowers to an already beautiful scene is not as memorable as providing timely help in times of need. If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace intervenes in this war too early and fails to show its strength, it will not be remembered by the Buddhist sect.
It would be best if they and Dao Court both suffer losses, exhausting themselves to the point of crisis, and then seek help from Great Brahman Sound Monastery. Only then can the Buddhist sect ensure that it deals a fatal blow to Dao Court at the smallest possible cost. At the same time, they can also propose some reasonable conditions to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
"What the ancestor said is excellent, and I have no objections," said Venerable Moxuan, sincerely convinced. Although the two factions are strategic allies, when it comes to major decisions, they must prioritize the interests of the Buddhist sect. This is the practice of a qualified sect leader.
...
The main hall of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
Three months passed in a hurry, and in the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, time had passed a thousandfold.
When Qin Muling woke up from a deep state of enlightenment, he found that his cultivation level had already reached the Twenty-ninth Grade Golden Immortal level and stabilized, surpassing his original Twenty-third Grade Golden Immortal level.
He had already completed more than half of the Golden Immortal Realm's Thirty-third Grade, getting closer to the threshold of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Moreover, the progress of his senior sisters was even more astonishing. Princess Long Yi had already reached the peak of the Great Principal Golden Immortal level, Fairy Qing Chan was at the Third Grade Great Principle, and Mu Yinshuang and Luo Qinghan were slightly behind but had already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level and were about to overcome the Great Principle Tribulation.
This was not difficult to understand. In the past, Qin Muling and his senior sisters had been cultivating on a monthly basis. This time, they closed themselves off for three months, naturally achieving greater accomplishments.
Perhaps after the next seclusion, Princess Long Yi would be able to achieve the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit, even faster than Su Yuanzhen's progress.
As for the other twenty peak Great Principal Golden Immortals, they had all successfully broken through and become true Quasi-Saint Emperors! If this were to spread, it would definitely shake the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky and the Upper Realm.
And all of this relied on Qin Muling's contribution.
"...Little junior brother, we really owe you a lot this time!" A beautiful and charming senior sister with delicate eyebrows and eyes hugged Qin Muling and kissed him affectionately. "I've wasted so many years at this level, never able to break through. If it weren't for you, I might never have had hope in my lifetime!"
"We are family, no need for thanks," Qin Muling smiled. Since it was a genuine dual cultivation secret technique of the orthodox sect, both sides naturally benefited. By obtaining their Primordial Yin virgin bodies, he also gained considerable benefits, allowing his cultivation to progress so rapidly.
"Then, can we continue to cultivate together in the future?" Twenty pairs of starry and watery beautiful eyes looked at him intently, asking cautiously. Although it was under the guise of cultivation, after such intimate contact, they had already regarded themselves as Qin Muling's Dao companions. Apart from him, in this vast Extreme Void Starry Sky, there was no other man worthy of their attention and favor.
Qin Muling sighed, "Of course we can."
Taking away the first time of these female immortals, he had to take responsibility and not go back on his word after enjoying himself.
For true powerhouses, the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit was just the beginning. The road ahead was even more difficult. Each beheading of a corpse incarnation required unimaginable time and effort.
For most cultivators, reaching the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm meant exhausting their lifetime's luck and fortune. Even if they were to undergo countless trials and tribulations and cultivate thousands of elements, they would still be stuck in place.
Therefore, if his senior sisters, including his master in the future, wanted to advance further, their hopes would still rest on Qin Muling. There was no other chance that could replace it.
"Alright, let's go out now!" The mysterious and enchanting Princess Long Yi reluctantly touched her junior brother's waist and said, "I wonder how the battle outside is going. They probably won't gain any advantage."
Qin Muling nodded, "Of course, if Senior Sister Qing Yao has returned from the Upper Realm, they must have suffered heavy losses!"
The women had no objections to this. The power of the Primordial Origin Sword Box in Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's hands could only be described as earth-shattering. Even if there were powerhouses like Xiong Tianhe, without treasures of the same level, they would only be suppressed and defeated.
Luo Qinghan and Fairy Qing Chan helped Qin Muling dress neatly, and then they each put on their own clothes and tidied up the messy bed and bedroom. They put all the embarrassing clothes and items into their spatial Law Weapons before leaving together with their junior brother.
In the outside void.
Above the high sky, the battle between the two sides was still fierce and deadlocked, but the losses of the Dao Court camp were continuously expanding.
The reason was simple: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had returned.
