Chapter 306: Fairy Qing Chan: I have followed Junior Brother!
Imperial Dao Peak, behind the mountain.
In the flower hall of the inner courtyard, the graceful and elegant Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan sat on the Luo Han bed, studying a jade slip in her hand. The jade slip contained a highly ranked alchemy scripture, originally a gift from Divine Maiden Sect Emperor Tong Ying to Qin Muling. Since he was currently too busy to practice, Senior Sister Xue borrowed it to study.
At the same time, Cheng Yulan, Qi Yalan, and Luo Wanqing were all busy with their own tasks.
Cheng Yulan, dressed in a white dress, was manipulating a set of twelve formation flags. The jade-colored flags were palm-sized and triangular in shape, emitting a profound and unfathomable aura. This was a set of Middle Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures. When the entire formation was activated, it was enough to trap a group of Taiyi Golden Immortal-level experts.
Qi Yalan, elegant and noble, was pondering over a three-foot tall bronze stele in front of her. The surface of the stele was covered with ancient celestial script symbols of dragon heads and phoenix tails, exuding a sharp Sword Intent.
Luo Wanqing, wearing a bright red armor, spread out an unknown black beast skin scroll in front of her. It recorded a Body Tempering secret technique of the ancient witch clan. The shining silver runes emitted a wild and savage beast roar.
As for Princess Long Yi, Luo Qinghan, Feng Xia, and Yu Binghua, they each had their own books on cultivation techniques and Spiritual Treasure Law Weapons.
Since the formation of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, Qin Muling had received countless precious gifts. Due to his low cultivation level and lack of time, most of these things had not been immediately put to use and were just left there.
However, the senior sisters had free time, so it was only natural for them to borrow them from Junior Brother for study and observation.
The benefits of resource sharing were that the senior sisters greatly benefited and their cultivation foundations were further enhanced, eliminating any shortcomings.
The improvement in cultivation of their dao companions also brought many benefits to Qin Muling. It was a mutually beneficial and virtuous cycle.
After a while, Cheng Yulan, who was elegant and ethereal, raised her head and looked out the window, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of confusion. "... It seems that there hasn't been any movement from Dao Seeking Peak. Has the Transcending Tribulation already ended?"
"Why are you asking? It ended three days ago!" Luo Wanqing pursed her lips and said impatiently.
Cheng Yulan was taken aback and her expression brightened. "Then what about Junior Brother? He should have come back to accompany us, right?"
Qi Yalan glanced at her and sighed. "You... When you're immersed in the study of formations, you forget about day and night. It's possible that one day Junior Brother will be taken away by someone else, and you won't even realize it for a while."
"..." Cheng Yulan blushed slightly and smiled apologetically. This second senior sister had a tendency to be a homebody and scholar. When she was still a core disciple, she was indifferent to everything, but she changed after meeting Qin Muling.
Luo Huan, dressed in a water and ink palace robe, with gentle features like water, gently put down the scripture in her hand and said softly, "Junior Brother went to Master's Cave Mansion three days ago and still hasn't returned. I guess he went to seek guidance on his cultivation difficulties."
"Seeking guidance on cultivation difficulties? Hehe..." Qi Yalan snorted. "Do you all not understand Master's intentions towards Junior Brother? This seeking guidance might as well be seeking guidance in the bedroom! It's truly... shameless!"
She didn't say the last four words out loud, but silently repeated them in her heart. After all, Mu Yinghua's past influence was significant, and even though she now had a relationship with her junior martial brother, the third senior sister didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction openly. The consequences of angering the master could mean not being allowed to interact with the junior martial brother for several years.
The other female disciples agreed deeply. Originally... the Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme of the junior martial brother was not enough to go around. The master, like a greedy shark, unreasonably squeezed in and almost drained the junior martial brother, leaving the senior sisters with nothing. If this continued, it would surely breed resentment.
Xue Bingxuan smiled helplessly and said, "Can't you understand this situation completely? In order to stabilize the position of the sect leader, the master needs to improve her cultivation more than us at this stage. It's only right to accommodate her temporarily."
"Anyway, the junior martial brother's growth speed is fast enough. It won't take long for him to reach the Profound Immortal realm, and then the quantity of Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme should be enough for everyone to share."
Luo Wanqing sneered and muttered, "That's easy to say, but by then, there will be even more fox-like seductresses trying to squeeze in. So... the situation won't improve much, even if he becomes a Golden Immortal!"
Both inside and outside the sect, there were too many female immortals who wanted to quickly improve their cultivation with the help of Qin Muling. And they were all shameless and willing to do anything to seduce him. It was simply impossible to guard against all their schemes.
Princess Long Yi, with her cold and enchanting beauty, put down the jade pendant in her hand and softly said, "I think we should just be more open-minded about this situation. After all, it's only temporary. When the junior martial brother becomes a Taiyi Golden Immortal, or even a Great Principle-level powerhouse, there won't be this kind of problem anymore."
"Yes, I think so too." With a gentle gaze, Luo Qinghan, with her peach blossom-like face, echoed with a smile.
With Qin Muling's special status, it was hard to say how many Dao companions he would have in the future. Which normal-minded female cultivator wouldn't want to quickly improve their cultivation? And this could only fall on the junior martial brother.
So, Qin Muling was now surrounded by a pack of wolves. If he made one wrong move, he could be stripped naked and devoured by them at any time.
"Does that mean..." Feng Xia was about to speak, but immediately realized and swallowed her words. After all, it would be disrespectful to say such things.
But with the senior sisters' understanding, they naturally understood her meaning. When Qin Muling could help more people improve their cultivation without being limited by his own cultivation, wouldn't even the Quasi-Saint Emperors be interested in him?
Don't think this is impossible. At least in Feng Xia's opinion, those Emperor-level figures had long had their own thoughts. Once the time was right, they would eagerly put their ideas into action and devour the junior martial brother completely.
And the senior sisters could only listen and do nothing, completely powerless to stop it.
To say no to this kind of thing? Unless a new Quasi-Saint Emperor were to be born among them.
Princess Long Yi's expression was somewhat unnatural. After all, Emperor Qing Huan was her mother, even though she was adopted from a young age and they had no blood relation. But there was still this relationship between them.
In the future, if Emperor Qing Huan decided to make a move on Qin Muling for her Saint Dao Fruit, how would she handle it? Would she really accept the result of competing for the same bed? It would be too embarrassing to say it out loud.
At that time, she would be working hard outside, while Emperor Qing Huan would be cultivating with Qin Muling in the inner chamber. Just thinking about that scene made Princess Long Yi feel ashamed.
Xue Bingxuan was about to speak when the pleasant sound of jingling bells rang out. The leader of the maidservants, Mu Xiner, came in with a joyful expression and reported, "Senior sisters, Senior Qin has returned."
The expressions of the female disciples brightened, and they put down what they were doing and stood up. They saw Qin Muling, dressed in a purple robe, emerge from behind the dragon and phoenix screen, his deep and clear eyes carrying a hint of a smile.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I was busy consulting the master about some cultivation difficulties. I apologize for the delay," Qin Muling said warmly. Consulting the master about cultivation difficulties was a very sufficient reason, and as for the true situation, the senior sisters surely had a good idea in their hearts, so there was no need to say it too explicitly.
"Hehe, little junior brother, you are quite diligent..." Qi Yalan smiled ambiguously and then stopped talking, pulling Qin Muling over to sit beside her.
Qin Muling reached out and embraced the smooth and tight waist of his third senior sister, exerting a little force to lift her voluptuous and fiery body onto his lap.
Hmm, although each senior sister is an unparalleled beauty, there are still subtle differences in Qin Muling's feelings towards them. Apart from his most beloved master, the next most favored is his third senior sister.
Of course, such words cannot be spoken out loud. Qin Muling understands this in his heart.
"There is something important that needs to be discussed with the sisters."
Seeing the subtle glances from the women around him, Qin Muling quickly spoke up, successfully diverting their attention.
"What do you want to say?"
Qi Yalan, with her beautiful face blushing, twisted her waist and looked at him with a hint of confusion. This guy wouldn't come up with some new tricks just to avoid sleeping together, right?
Hmph! That is absolutely impossible. Unless he fulfills his obligations, he won't have an easy time tonight.
However, after sensing it for a moment, she found that Qin Muling's vitality and spirit were still vigorous, without any signs of being excessively drained by their master. This made her secretly relieved, at least she didn't have to worry about not being satisfied this time.
"It's about the founding ancestor of the sect..."
Qin Muling didn't beat around the bush and immediately recounted the information he received from their master, causing the senior sisters to listen with wide-open mouths and various expressions.
"If this news is true, then doesn't it mean that some of the old ancestors of other sects and forces may have the possibility of returning in the future? As long as they are not dead?"
The Qingchan Fairy, dressed in a deep blue feather robe, with a figure that exuded an unparalleled dominance, frowned and spoke.
"It's entirely possible!"
Qin Muling sighed. It was one thing for the numerous small and medium-sized forces to organize, but those Supreme-level sects that have inherited for millions of years and have the ability to dominate a region in the Immortal Domain, many of their powerful beings actually left the Extreme Void Starry Sky and ascended to the Upper Realm in search of further breakthrough opportunities.
After all, tens of millions of years ago, the Ascension passage between the two realms had not yet closed, making travel relatively convenient. Each Supreme-level sect had people ascending, the only difference was the number of people.
Princess Long Yi remained calm, "In fact, there are even more powerful figures who ascended from Dao Court. In our lineage, many Great Principle-level powerhouses and even Quasi-Saint Emperors went to the Upper Realm. Now that we have Immortal Venerable Qing Yao as an example, I believe their return will also be put on the agenda, right?"
"Yes, our situation should be similar," Mu Yinshuang, the Saintess of Azure Hill Hall, touched the jade flute in her hand, her gaze complicated. "The situation in the Extreme Void Starry Sky will only become more complicated in the future. It's really... a tangled mess."
Why did they come back? Of course, it was to compete for the luck and authority of this realm, to achieve their own great path. But the legendary Supreme Primordial Saint Dao Fruit probably only has one, and everyone wants it, no one wants to back down. What good result can there be?
The great path is like an abyss, it is not about verbal disputes, but about strength.
It can be foreseen that in the future, the Extreme Void Starry Sky will inevitably be filled with bloodshed and countless lives will be devastated. It is unknown who will have the last laugh.
"If our ancestors from these few families were to return, can the Female Cultivators Union Alliance continue to exist? If they have different ideas, how should we handle ourselves?"
Luo Qinghan asked the most straightforward question. If the Female Cultivators Union Alliance were to split under the control of their ancestors, their status as Qin Muling's Dao companions would become somewhat awkward.
"What's there to be tangled about," Fairy Qing Chan came over and pulled Qin Muling's arm, twisting her body and squeezing into his embrace. Her voice was soft and charming as she said, "No matter what they do, no matter what changes may happen in the future, I and Master will stick with Little Junior Brother for a lifetime!"
Regardless of sect righteousness or family interests, they were all insignificant in the face of their own path. With a Dao companion like Qin Muling, not to mention the Great Principle, even the Quasi-Saint Emperor's Dao Fruit was within reach. Why bother considering anything else?
Mu Yinshuang narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled softly, "Of course, our thoughts are the same. When the time comes, if it's not possible, we will escort Little Junior Brother to leave and not bother with their petty matters."
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
Princess Long Yi, Luo Qinghan, Feng Xia, and Yu Binghua successively expressed their agreement. Since they already had the greatest opportunity, why bother considering anything else?
Xue Bingxuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Things shouldn't reach that point. Their return will also take time, and we still have the opportunity to improve our cultivation. Moreover, they may not necessarily have a falling out with us at that time, so sisters, there's no need to be overly nervous."
The ideal outcome would be for those ancestors to learn of Qin Muling's existence and, in a pleasant surprise, express their desire to join forces, thereby greatly increasing the influence of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
The less favorable outcome would be if they also developed feelings for Qin Muling and shamelessly intruded despite their identities.
...
Palace of Calamitous Fate, main hall.
In the bronze hall, with Emperor White Kite and Emperor Yuanxi as the leaders, a total of seven majestic and hazy figures sat on their respective thrones. The magnificent and mysterious light filled the hall, and the dense Dao Rhyme aura flowed as if it were substantial.
"Is everything prepared?"
Emperor White Kite's ethereal and distant voice, tinged with a faint majesty, resounded, "This operation is of great importance and can only succeed, not fail! When the situation becomes urgent, you must be prepared to sacrifice for the greater good!"
"Yes, Emperor!"
The large group of powerful Heavenly Human Race beings standing below all bowed in salute. Ling Xi and Zi Huang were among them.
After a period of discussion, the high-level members of the Heavenly Human Race finally made a second important decision after their massive invasion of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. They would dispatch seven Quasi-Saint Emperor-level experts to launch a surprise attack on the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, aiming to deal a heavy blow to this female cultivation sect and seize Qin Muling!
Although the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the other female cultivation forces had formed an alliance, there should be no more than four or five Emperors at most. Therefore, as long as they carefully planned and made use of their advantages, they would surely succeed.
