Chapter 314: Three Corpse Incarnation
In the dim Extreme Void Starry Sky.
The envoy fleet of the Dao Court was closely watched and left the territory of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, almost like being escorted, and set off on their return journey in a dejected manner.
Inside the palace of the ship, three big shots sat facing each other, their faces clouded with gloom.
"...These women are truly too arrogant!" Emperor Wei De gritted his teeth and said, "We came with sincerity, but they insulted us like this, disregarding the dignity of the Dao Court! It's simply unforgivable!"
Emperor Xuan Yin remained silent for a while before saying, "Unfortunately, the patriarch of the Hua Xushi clan has passed away, and there's no way to resolve this matter. With our current strength, we can't do anything to Qing Yao. We can only settle the score after we return."
Although the Dao Court came here with ill intentions, from the perspective of these few individuals, they would never think that they were at fault. They could only blame the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and even the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, for not knowing what's good for them and daring to refuse the "goodwill" of the Dao Court.
Now that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao has returned in a dominant manner, directly cutting off their thoughts, the Dao Court is powerless to resist. No matter how angry or unwilling they are, they can only choose to swallow their anger.
In the end, Extreme Void Starry Sky still speaks through strength.
Feng Xiaotian, the head of the Taiji Four Images Sect, appeared to be a handsome middle-aged scholar. He and Emperor Xuan Yin were in-laws, and before they both achieved the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, they traveled and roamed the Extreme Void Starry Sky together, forming a deep bond.
At this moment, he rubbed the armrest of his seat and said calmly, "That woman Qing Yao is indeed not easy to deal with, but... if some of the great figures who ascended from the Dao Court tens of thousands of years ago can come back, this matter will be easily resolved. I believe the two Fellow Daoists must have already made some plans, right?"
Now that the catastrophe of the Extreme Void Starry Sky is approaching, it has also shown clear signs of recovery. With the increase in the density of spiritual energy and the reopening of the Ascension passage, as long as they survive this calamity, they can soon return to the flourishing era of immortality.
Therefore, any forces that had ancestors who ascended to the upper realm in the past are now trying their best to establish contact with them, hoping to bring them back and increase their strength as a bargaining chip for the Extreme Void Starry Sky's luck.
Emperor Xuan Yin pondered and said, "There have indeed been a few contacts, but they are currently facing a difficult situation in the upper realm. The forces that were hostile to them in the past have pressed them too hard, making it difficult for them to withdraw too much power to support us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a predicament."
The upper realm is vast and abundant in resources, with countless Grotto-Heavens that are suitable for becoming the foundation of a major power. However, finding a feng shui treasure land that is suitable for a large power is not so easy.
Dao Court, the first batch of prominent figures in Ascension, worked hard in the upper realm for many years before finding a suitable Dao Court. It had a vast territory with abundant natural resources. The only downside was that it was located in a region of constant conflict, surrounded by numerous hostile forces.
Due to the lack of better options in the foreseeable future, those prominent figures had to lower their standards and establish this place as the foundation of Dao Court in the upper realm.
The cost was that they had to engage in frequent battles with the surrounding hostile forces. They would fight with one force today and another force tomorrow. Even with various strategies and diplomatic maneuvers, they could only barely ensure the stability of their territory.
Feng Xiaotian frowned and asked, "What about Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace? How are they doing?"
The ancestors of the Two Principles and Four Images Sect had been unlucky. Their territory in the upper realm was destroyed by hostile forces tens of thousands of years ago, and most of their disciples were killed or injured. Now, there were only a few remaining disciples left, making it impossible for them to rely on.
Emperor Wei De's face turned pale. "Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's territory is quite far from Dao Court, and that woman Qing Yao was lucky. As soon as she ascended, she attached herself to the Palace Master of Divine Phoenix Palace and received her care. She quickly found a perfect Dao Court with excellent feng shui and successfully established herself, opening up the situation..."
Divine Phoenix Palace, like Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, was a pure female cultivation sect and one of the top superpowers in the upper realm. It was rumored to have existed since the beginning of the upper realm and was one of the few powerful beings at the top of the pyramid.
Therefore, as a vassal force of Divine Phoenix Palace, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace also thrived in the upper realm and had built up considerable assets.
Feng Xiaotian sighed, "If that's the case, things won't be easy! They definitely have more powerful individuals they can call upon in the short term than we do, unless we can bring in more external support."
Emperor Xuan Yin's eyes flickered. As one of the decision-makers of Dao Court, he had more cards in his hand than just this. However, facing the dominant and overbearing Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, it was difficult to gain the upper hand even with all his cards on the table.
Moreover, the situation in the Extreme Void Starry Sky was still unclear. It would be a low-level mistake for Dao Court to engage in a deadly battle with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace prematurely and allow other forces to benefit.
Emperor Wei De pondered for a moment and said, "Can we find a way to let Genesis Star Palace fight them first? Neither of them are good people anyway."
Feng Xiaotian asked in surprise, "What reason can we give? Emperor Bing Chan of Genesis Star Palace is not easy to deceive, and we don't even know the current situation of the owner of that star palace in the upper realm. Hmm, her cultivation might not be lower than the legendary Palace Master of Divine Phoenix Palace."
Emperor Wei De hesitated for a moment and said, "Regarding the identity and origin of Qin Muling, we are now about 60-70% certain that she is the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed that flew away from the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond of Genesis Star Palace back then. If we reveal this information, whether Genesis Star Palace believes it or not, they will definitely come to investigate the truth. This will inevitably lead to an irreconcilable conflict with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace!"
"Is that true?!"
Feng Xiaotian's expression changed drastically. The influence of the Two Principles and Four Images Sect was far less than that of Dao Court, so the information he had was quite limited. If Emperor Wei De hadn't revealed this, he would never have thought of it.
If this was true, it was no wonder that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's strength had expanded so rapidly in recent years, along with the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance. If it was indeed the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, everything made sense.
Emperor Xuan Yin shook his head slightly and said with a serious expression, "It's better not to talk about this matter for now, unless you are willing to let Qin Muling have no connection with our Dao Court forever!"
"Well..."
Emperor Wei De's expression changed suddenly as he reacted.
If Qin Muling stayed in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, there would still be hope for Dao Court to strive for in the future. But if he joined the Genesis Star Palace, it was likely that Dao Court would never have a chance to intervene again.
"Alright, that makes sense."
Emperor Wei De nodded slightly, agreeing with Emperor Xuan Yin's point of view.
Feng Xiaotian said slowly, "Can't we find a way to bring Qin Muling over? If he is willing to abandon the darkness and join us, then all the troubles that Dao Court is facing now will no longer be troublesome."
Emperor Xuan Yin pondered and said, "I think it's worth a try. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has always been dominated by female cultivators, and there has never been a place for male cultivators. Even if we make an exception for Qin Muling, it would only be for the sake of his benefits. Those female cultivators don't see him as one of their own!"
"If he stays there, he is destined to be a tool for the rest of his life, without any chance of becoming the master. But if he is willing to come to our side, Dao Court can immediately grant him the position of Emperor, with real power, manpower, and territory. It's not just an empty title."
In Emperor Xuan Yin's view, a powerful Emperor of Dao Court, controlling vast territories and billions of subjects, would have much more power and influence than being a tool in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. If Qin Muling wasn't foolish, he should understand how to choose.
Feng Xiaotian frowned and said, "But the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has many beautiful women. If Qin Muling still has the mentality of a young man, they will surely cater to his preferences and use their beauty to keep him tied down and prevent him from having other thoughts."
Emperor Wei De chuckled, "The countless beautiful women in Dao Court are no less than those in the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. If Qin Muling comes over, he can have whatever he wants. Isn't that much better than having to rely on the whims of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?"
Indeed, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the Female Cultivators Union Alliance were not lacking in beautiful women. No matter who Qin Muling favored, his desires could be fulfilled. The key issue was that they had always used him as a tool, and sleeping with him was only for their own gain. There was no true affection between them.
On the other hand, the female cultivators of Dao Court would definitely revolve around Qin Muling's will, obeying him completely and never turning against him or taking advantage of him.
Therefore, Emperor Wei De believed that Qin Muling would never be willing to be subordinate to the female cultivators and be oppressed by them forever.
Finally, Emperor Xuan Yin said with satisfaction, "That's it then. After we go back, let's discuss it thoroughly. As long as Qin Muling comes over, we can offer him much more than the Female Cultivators Union Alliance!"
...
At the back mountain of Imperial Dao Peak.
In the chamber of Supreme, Qin Muling looked at Immortal Venerable Qing Yao in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This creator of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had reached a level of cultivation that even ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors couldn't compare to.
In the magnificent halo behind her, a graceful figure walked out, wearing a tight-fitting black armor and carrying a fiercely sharp long sword. Her facial features were about 60-70% similar to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, but her temperament was cold and fierce.
Then, an elegant and noble woman appeared, wearing a snowy palace dress and holding a radiant jade qin in her arms. Her aura was gentle and peaceful, like a spring breeze.
The third woman also wore a green dress, her hands empty, and her facial features hidden in a splendid radiance, making it difficult to see clearly.
These were the three incarnations of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, representing her level of cultivation, only one step away from the highest Supreme Primordial Saint realm.
"It seems that even without external help, Immortal Venerable, you are not too far from achieving sainthood, right?"
Qin Muling said, realizing that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao was formidable, but he didn't know she had reached such a level. Perhaps only the legendary owner of the Genesis Star Palace could surpass her?
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao shook her head, with a hint of melancholy in her tone, "Don't think too much. It's not as impressive as you think. This third incarnation is not yet complete, and I have been stuck in this state for many years. Who knows if I have taken the wrong path. No matter how hard I have tried all these years, there has been no progress at all!"
"Is that so?"
Qin Muling looked thoughtfully at the woman in the green dress. Her form indeed seemed elusive and somewhat unreal, probably because she hadn't fully achieved her potential.
Hmm, it seemed that he couldn't help her now. At this level, even hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation stagnation was commonplace.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and came over to embrace him, saying, "I didn't have much hope before, but now that I have you, I can give it a try."
Qin Muling: "..."
