Chapter 329: Miao Xin: Junior Brother will definitely be satisfied!
Sarol Immortal Domain, Mirror Moon Zen Forest Grand Altar.
In the secret realm of the sect's back mountain, amidst the endless pagodas, the sound of chanting and the Dao Rhyme permeated the air, and a gentle golden Buddha light enveloped everything.
Miao Xin, dressed in splendid attire and radiating a brilliant aura, held a long-necked jade purification bottle in her hands as she strolled leisurely. Behind her followed a group of heavenly maidens and bodhisattvas, each one noble and beautiful, surpassing all others in their resplendent beauty.
"...Now that the Buddha Lord has taken over the position, how does he plan to adjust and arrange the various affairs of the sect? Please advise!" A woman dressed in a white cassock and exuding an otherworldly fragrance spoke respectfully at Miao Xin's side. Although she was dressed as a monk, she still had her hair tied up and adorned with a green jade hairpin. Her plain face revealed an indescribable allure.
Miao Xin pondered for a moment and gently shook her head. "The former leader has done well in all aspects. As a newcomer, it is not appropriate for me to make major changes. Let's keep things as they are for now! Moreover, for our Buddhist lineage, there are two most important matters at hand. The first is to deal with the Demon Race calamity, and the second is to form the most stable strategic alliance with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."
The woman asked thoughtfully, "The main reason for forming an alliance with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace should be for that Qin Muling, right? I heard that the ancestors attach great importance to him and are willing to do whatever it takes to win him over. I apologize for my dullness, but I don't understand the deeper meaning behind this."
A few days ago, after the founding ancestors of the Buddhist lineage returned, they made a series of adjustments to the major policies of the sect. As someone like Miao Xin, who had already been designated as the future leader of the sect, she was arranged to take charge of Mirror Moon Zen Forest, the Supreme lineage of the Supreme Dao.
Qin Muling had mentioned to Miao Xin before that the Buddhist lineage in the Extreme Void Starry Sky was different from other Daoist forces. Their internal unity was the highest, and even before the establishment of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, they couldn't be compared in this aspect.
The Buddhist lineage, led by Great Brahman Sound Monastery, also controlled four other Supreme lineages, including Mirror Moon Zen Forest, Dragon Elephant Heavenly Maiden Palace, Infinite Life Palace, and Immovable Vajra Temple. In addition, there were countless medium and small-scale Daoist forces and immortal dynasties, making it a huge force second only to the Dao Court in the past.
Among them, Mirror Moon Zen Forest and Dragon Elephant Heavenly Maiden Palace were exclusively female cultivators, mainly composed of nuns, but there were also lay female Buddhist cultivators. As for Infinite Life Palace and Immovable Vajra Temple, they were filled with monks, both young and old.
Great Brahman Sound Monastery had both monks and nuns, with numerous sects and schools of Divine Ability, making it the most powerful among the five Supreme Buddhist lineages. It was undoubtedly the leader of the Buddhist lineage, and even the other four had to obey its commands.
Miao Xin's master, Venerable Moxuan, originally planned for her to succeed him and take charge of Great Brahman Sound Monastery. However, those returning ancestors seemed to have sensed something and made different arrangements a few days ago, allowing Miao Xin to take over Mirror Moon Zen Forest and become the spokesperson for this exclusively female Buddhist force.
"The intentions of the ancestors actually don't need to be hidden from you."
Miao Xin walked lightly, strolling leisurely as one pagoda after another gradually receded behind her. She gently caressed the jade purification bottle in her hand and spoke softly:
"Last time, I instructed you to select a group of outstanding women from within the sect, use the time acceleration array to expedite their training, and then I would arrange them. How is this matter progressing?"
"This matter is easy. Currently, everything has been handled properly. All suitable candidates, as well as backup candidates, have gathered at the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, awaiting the personal selection of the Buddha Lord," the woman replied.
Miao Xin nodded slightly. "Very good. The Dragon Elephant Heavenly Palace is probably almost finished as well. They will soon send people over. I estimate that in a few more months, I will go to the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace to discuss the matter of the alliance with the head teacher and Emperor Xin Yu."
The confidants beside her exchanged glances and after a long while, a youthful and charming girl in a red dress blinked her spirited eyes and furrowed her brows as she asked:
"Sister, last time you visited with utmost sincerity, but you were still turned away. Now you want to go again, what exactly are you trying to achieve? Their Female Cultivators Union Alliance may be stronger overall, but do we really need to fawn over them like this? With so many ancestors returning to sit in our sect, who do we still need to worry about?"
As one of the superpowers in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the female cultivators of the Buddhist sect naturally had no shortage of proud individuals. This was a reasonable phenomenon. In the past, there really wasn't any power worth their attention, including the Dao Court.
Miao Xin smiled and gently stroked the flowing green hair of her junior sister, saying, "Originally, you were not wrong. However, the strength and fortune of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance have grown rapidly because they have found the luck child of this era, a special existence in the river of destiny. Whether the Extreme Void Starry Sky can safely overcome the coming tribulations will largely depend on him!"
"You mean Qin Muling? I heard he is indeed extraordinary, but his true background and origins are probably more than that, right? Those female cultivators have always looked down on men, yet they treat him like a treasure. Could it be because..." the girl in the red dress said thoughtfully.
An influential force that had never accepted male disciples for millions of years suddenly took in a male disciple, treating him as the future leader of the sect. If the decision-makers of these major powers were not blind, they would definitely suspect that there was more to it.
Recalling the scene of meeting Qin Muling, Miao Xin said softly, "He is indeed very special, which is why even the returning ancestors attach great importance to him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent me to take charge of the Mirror Moon Zen Forest. As long as we can gain his approval, the Buddhist lineage will definitely flourish in both realms in the future!"
Since the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was exclusively for female cultivators, in order to facilitate communication between the two sides, the ancestors and the high-level members of the Great Brahman Sound Monastery made this decision. From now on, the Mirror Moon Zen Forest and the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Palace would be fully responsible for handling all matters of cooperation and interaction with the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, in order to gain their trust and dispel their inherent wariness.
Therefore, this is the true intention behind the ancestors sending Miao Xin to take charge of the Mirror Moon Zen Forest. Otherwise, if a group of big monks were sent to negotiate cooperation with the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it would be strange if they were treated kindly.
It must be admitted that compared to the domineering arrogance of the Dao Court, the Buddhist lineage is indeed more outstanding in understanding human nature and perceiving the world.
In view of the friendship between Great Brahman Sound Monastery and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the past, Miao Xin felt that this visit would not be in vain, even if everything didn't go smoothly, at least they wouldn't return empty-handed.
The beautiful girl in the red dress pursed her cherry lips and asked softly, "I once saw a record in the sect's secret library, which said that when Immortal Venerable Qing Yao established Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, our Buddhist sect's ancestor helped her a lot. I wonder if this favor still counts after so many years?"
"The rumors are true," Miao Xin said with a smile. "As for whether it still counts... as long as the person is still alive, the favor naturally remains. I believe that when our founding ancestor meets her, she won't shamelessly go back on her word, right?"
"So, Junior Brother will definitely be satisfied with our arrangements!"
The surrounding heavenly maidens and bodhisattvas nodded in agreement.
...
In the chaotic void.
The starship flying at high speed slightly changed direction and continued to accelerate according to Qin Muling's guidance, disappearing into the depths of the surging tide in an instant.
"Junior Brother, how confident are you?"
"I'm about fifty to sixty percent confident, and I can confirm it through multiple deductions. In the end, I should be able to achieve a high level of accuracy."
"Very good, then let's do it as you said!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with satisfaction. This place belonged to the domain of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, and with his intervention, the effect would surpass that of any other powerful being.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment, once again manifesting the illusion of the Azure Lotus. He extended it directly into the chaotic tide beyond the light curtain barrier outside the starship.
Immediately, he felt a mysterious connection with the vast and boundless chaos, not only feeling closer to it, but also having a heightened perception of the surroundings. It became clearer and more transparent, as if a thick curtain had been lifted, allowing him to see various scenes within the chaos.
Qin Muling could now vaguely sense the positions, numbers, and approximate strength of the chaotic creatures lurking not far away, allowing him to decide whether to hunt or avoid them in advance.
In the more distant areas, there were many strange and ferocious chaotic creatures hunting and fighting. The torn flesh and blood quickly dissipated in the chaotic tide, leaving nothing behind.
Since the main purpose was to search for treasures, Qin Muling specifically instructed Immortal Venerable Qing Yao to adjust the direction to avoid those chaotic creatures as much as possible, saving time and only attacking when unavoidable.
After an unknown amount of time, the starship, after traversing a thick and vast chaotic vortex at high speed, presented a scene that even the experienced Immortal Venerable Qing Yao found astonishing.
A jade ruyi, tens of thousands of zhang long, completely red and clear like beautiful jade, with countless mysterious Dao patterns faintly appearing, quietly suspended in the void.
The jade ruyi was enveloped in dozens of layers of radiant and lustrous treasure light, emitting a warm and gentle aura with an indescribable majesty and dominance. It seemed like a lofty deity, exuding a strong and profound Dao Rhyme.
"...Twenty-six layers of treasure light? Does that mean there are twenty-six Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions inside this Innate Spiritual Treasure? It's almost comparable to the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower in the sect!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao exclaimed in surprise and joy. He didn't expect that on the first attempt, his junior disciple would find such an excellent High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, far exceeding his original expectations.
When was the last time he found a treasure of the same level? It must have been more than ten yuanhui ago!
"Something is coming, let's deal with it first!"
Qin Muling said, projecting an image of the scene in the tide to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao using his mana.
It was a ferocious creature, hundreds of li tall, completely black, agile and nimble like an ape. Its emaciated body had more than ten slender claws, each holding a hideous blood-colored bone spike. Its four large pale eyes were fixed on the starship.
This big guy's strength was close to that of a Quasi-Saint Emperor who had severed two corpse transformations. Its entire body was wrapped in thick black clouds, silently approaching at an unimaginable speed.
