Chapter 302 Mu Yinghua: Me And Genesis Star Palace, You Can Only Choose One Side!
Chapter 302: Mu Yinghua: You can only choose between me and Genesis Star Palace!
The decisions made by the high-level members of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance naturally have the backing of their own strength.
When your strength is strong enough, strong enough to fear no challenges, then naturally whatever you say goes, without needing to care about the criticisms of others.
However, both Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance do not currently possess such absolute strength, so there are some things that, even if they are unhappy about, they can only temporarily endure and accumulate strength for the future.
Delaying and waiting for change is currently the most appropriate method, even though it can't be dragged out for too long, it's just to buy more time for Qin Muling's growth.
"If in the future, due to the situation, we must form an alliance with the Dao Court, then it wouldn't be unacceptable to let Qin Muling help their people heal from Transcending Tribulation," Emperor Xin Yu said. "However, some rules must be established first. The number of spots we give them cannot be too many, at most equivalent to about one-tenth of ours, and they must be placed at the back. The cost for each spot must also be higher..."
The core meaning is that the male cultivator forces such as the Dao Court and the Ji Family cannot gain too much increase in strength, in order to prevent them from turning the tables and suppressing the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. This can also be applied if other forces join in the future.
Originally, the various Daoist forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky were mostly dominated by male cultivators, and female cultivators within most sects and organizations only held subordinate positions. There were not many examples of them holding real power or even being in charge.
So from the perspective of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, it is naturally unwilling to be subordinate to male cultivator forces, especially when they finally have someone like Qin Muling with such a special opportunity.
"Sister, what you said is right, let's do it this way! Of course, their people cannot stay on our territory for any reason in the future. They must leave as soon as they finish their business!" Tong Ying and Emperor Qing Huan agreed, and Emperor Lan Hua and Emperor Jing Lan naturally had no objections. The matter was settled like this.
However, since Emperor Xuan Yin and Emperor Wei De have already sensed that something is wrong, they will definitely not foolishly wait and will definitely use other means.
On the other side, Qin Muling went to cultivate in seclusion with his senior sisters in the back residence. When the next day dawned, he calmly went out and inspected the medicine garden he was in charge of, focusing on the important parts.
Now, the scale of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's medicine garden has expanded several times compared to before, and more than half of it is personally managed by Qin Muling. After all, with his talent and Divine Ability, refining and nurturing Divine Medicine Heavenly Medicine is a piece of cake.
After going around, he occasionally used his abilities, and the depleted spiritual energy in his body returned to its peak state. Therefore, Qin Muling gave a few instructions to the guards who were guarding the medicine garden and planned to go back to find his master Mu Yinghua to ask for guidance.
But his luck was still not very good. Before he even reached the entrance of the Cave Mansion, a large group of flower illusions bloomed in front of him, and then a pure and lively Elder Luo Li walked out from inside.
"Young junior brother, let's go take a bath? I'll also prepare some delicious food for you!" Yu Lingzhou came over with a smile, hugging Qin Muling. Her seductive figure lightly rubbed against him, carrying a subtle and strange rhythm, easily igniting the flame in his heart.
"But I have to go see Master, let's do it next time," Qin Muling said helplessly. The battle last night was already exhausting enough, and if he were to be dragged into a bath by Yu Lingzhou again, the Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme he had just recovered would probably not be left at all.
Although they are not yet Dao companions, Elder Luo Li is skilled in both mind and tongue, surpassing his senior sisters. As a result, he can't control himself and ends up sharing everything with her every time they are alone.
"Next time, there will be another program! This time, Shijie has prepared a whole head of red-blooded spotted tiger whale, simmered for seven days and nights before it can be considered a great success. We can't waste it!"
Yu Lingzhou didn't care about his hesitation and entanglement. She tightly wrapped her jade arms around her junior brother and flew towards her own dojo using her escape technique.
Qin Muling sighed. After experiencing the benefits of the Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme, this elder who enjoyed the taste of it changed as well. Seizing the opportunity, she would come to him in the name of preparing a feast for him, repeatedly tricking him into visiting her Cave Mansion.
Although he knew that she had "ulterior motives," her culinary skills were indeed excellent. Coupled with rare high-end ingredients and precious medicinal herbs, they all had irreplaceable benefits for his cultivation. Therefore, Qin Muling could only accommodate her, as he wouldn't lose out anyway.
...
After another day and night passed, Qin Muling finally entered the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master. This time, no one intercepted him.
Or rather, someone wanted to, but Emperor Xin Yu managed to drive them away. After all, such a thing could only happen once. If it displeased Qin Muling, no one would have another chance in the future.
"You're here?"
On the spacious cloud bed, Mu Yinghua, who was beautiful and graceful, looked at the purple-robed and well-dressed young man who walked in, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Qin Muling responded and climbed onto the cloud bed, moving behind Mu Yinghua. He embraced her plump and full body from behind, resting his head on her fragrant shoulder and closed his eyes to nurture his spirit.
In this extremely cold world, only Shizun's disciple could bring him a little warmth!
Mu Yinghua pursed her cherry lips. She originally wanted to tease him a bit, but then she thought that this guy had it tough as well, busy day and night. It seemed that only she could make him relax. So she lowered her head and continued to deal with official business. Compared to before she met Qin Muling, she found her current situation much easier, even though she was still busy.
With sufficient financial and material resources, many problems became much easier to solve. Among the many worries of those in power, the lack of resources was always the top concern.
After half an hour, Qin Muling, feeling refreshed, opened his eyes again. He gently squeezed Shizun's slender waist and asked, "Is there anything happening outside?"
"It's been relatively calm recently, but it seems that there have been some unusual discoveries in the Palace of Calamitous Fate," Mu Yinghua said, handing him a pile of jade slips to read.
Of course, "relatively calm" was relative. With the abundant strength of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the other female cultivators, there was hardly any pressure in defending their territory. However, other forces and organizations were having a hard time.
During the time when Qin Muling was helping the female cultivators transcend their tribulations, hundreds of small and medium-sized forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky were destroyed by the Demon Race descendants. Among them, there was even one Supreme-level sect, where not a single person survived, from the Sect Master to the named disciples.
The remaining Supreme-level sects were also on the verge of collapse, unable to continue. They had to urgently seek help from the higher-ups of the Dao Court.
Of course, in such a critical situation, if they wanted to pull in enough support, they had to pay a heavy price. They might even have to completely give up their independence and exist only as vassal forces of the Dao Court.
Genesis Star Palace hasn't made any major moves recently, except for easily defeating several waves of attacking Demon Race descendants. The rest of their efforts were focused on transporting the common people from the fallen sects back to Genesis Star Palace and settling them in the surrounding Star Domains and suitable floating lands in the void.
Although there is a distinction between immortals and mortals, the countless mortals are an important foundation that supports the vast cultivation world. The vast number of low-level cultivators cannot do without the support of mortals. Most of the talented individuals suitable for embarking on the path of cultivation come from the mortal world. Therefore, no high-level power would overlook the value of mortals.
During the heyday of the Genesis Star Palace, it controlled vast and prosperous territories like the Dao Court, with a total of hundreds of Immortal Domains and countless mortals that are difficult to count. They also receive massive offerings from other forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky all year round, which can't be described as anything less than extremely abundant.
"Judging from this situation, are they planning to establish themselves and operate within the Extreme Void Starry Sky, never to leave again?"
Qin Muling flipped through the jade slip in her hand and asked with a pensive tone.
Mu Yinghua paused for a moment, gently raised her jade hand, and activated several layers of shielding formations and restrictions before pulling Qin Muling into her arms and saying,
"After discussions and exchanges with the Emperor and the elders, this is the conclusion they reached. In theory, they shouldn't be able to come back after going to the Upper Realm with better conditions. Even if they return now, it is mostly because of the luck origin of this realm, and also because of you."
"When everything is settled, they will probably leave again. But now, it seems that things are not as simple as that. I wonder what they are up to!"
To avoid unpredictable consequences, Mu Yinghua is always cautious when discussing the topic of the Genesis Star Palace with others. She must activate multiple formations and restrictions to feel at ease.
"I can't understand this situation either."
Seeing the anticipation in her master's beautiful eyes, Qin Muling said helplessly. Even if her sealed memories were fully restored, she couldn't possibly find the answer to this matter. They didn't take her with them when they left.
"Then... do you remember why they didn't take you with them when they ascended to the Upper Realm back then?" Mu Yinghua asked again.
"Because they couldn't protect me," Qin Muling said frankly. "The complexity of the laws and systems in the Upper Realm is slightly higher than that of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Moreover, they haven't encountered many major calamities there, so the concentration of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth is much higher than in the Extreme Void Starry Sky."
"It is precisely because of this that there are also many powerful beings in the Upper Realm. If they didn't want me to be taken away by others, the best way was to seal me in the Genesis Star Palace and come back when I was about to transform."
This plan was flawless, but unfortunately, the sisters of the Genesis Star Palace were a step too late. When they returned, all they saw were ruins and debris, and the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed had long disappeared.
Faced with this situation, even a clay figure would be angry, let alone the sisters of the Genesis Star Palace who were never easy to get along with. The subsequent events unfolded as expected. Jade Pearl Star Palace, Jade Drop Divine Temple, Yanfu Holy Demon Palace, and other legacies that had been passed down for millions of years were successively annihilated. The remaining forces, knowing they were no match, offered generous gifts as compensation in order to preserve their own foundations.
"Muleng, you..."
Mu Yinghua tightly embraced the beautiful young man in her arms and hesitated, "Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is already your new home, and your sisters and I sincerely care for you. You probably won't want to go back and acknowledge them in the future, right?"
Qin Muling looked at her in surprise, "Why are you asking such a question?"
Mu Yinghua looked at him with determined eyes and insisted, "Answer me first."
For her, this question was of great importance. It not only concerned her and her sisters' lifelong happiness and the grand path of cultivation, but also the life and death of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. There was no room for any luck.
Knowing the way the Genesis Star Palace operates, once they learn Qin Muling's true identity, it is easy to imagine what will happen next. The countless female cultivators in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would probably be wiped out, leaving no one alive.
So Qin Muling's choice is crucial, either Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace or Genesis Star Palace, there is no third option.
Actually... only children make choices, and I am no longer a child.
Qin Muling whispered to himself, but his strong will to survive prevented him from saying these words out loud, after all, he didn't want to be suppressed by his angry master.
"Alright, from now on, wherever my master is, I will be there! I will never leave or abandon!" Qin Muling finally said.
After a moment of silence, Qin Muling finally spoke.
"That's good."
Mu Yinghua breathed a sigh of relief, her tense expression softened, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She hugged him tightly, kissed him, and then continued speaking:
"The Emperor once speculated that if this realm fully recovers, the ancient immortal path will flourish again, and it will not be inferior to the Upper Realm in any aspect. Therefore, staying here is actually better for them. After all, it was once the number one immortal Sacred Land. If they can seize the opportunity in this cycle of calamity, it will be a natural progression for Genesis Star Palace to restore its position and influence in the Extreme Void Starry Sky."
"It's entirely possible."
Qin Muling nodded. In this way, he could understand the actions of Emperor Bing Chan and the senior sisters. When the owner of the Star Palace... his other master returns, there will probably be no one in the Extreme Void Starry Sky who can rival her, except himself.
...
In the sect's council hall.
Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan was formally entertaining guests from the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect.
This was an allied sect, and the two sects had recently had a large amount of trade between them. Otherwise, there would be no need for her, the saintess, to personally receive them. A random elder could have handled it.
"...It's been a while. Cloud Young Master, are you already the sect's first deputy head?" Xue Bingxuan said with grace, "It seems that your father really sees you as the successor!"
"It's all because of your side," Yun Tianyi, with his handsome features and extraordinary demeanor, smiled slightly, "With these large orders guaranteed, my father was willing to entrust such an important task to me. So, I really have to thank Sister Xue for taking care of us."
During this period of time, the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, which was famous for its alchemy in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, had obtained a large amount of Holy Medicine Divine Medicine in its commercial trade with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. There were even occasional appearances of Heavenly Medicine, which brought unimaginable profits to the sect.
Moreover, under Qin Muling's instructions, Xue Bingxuan demanded that only Yun Tianyi be responsible for this aspect of business in the future. If someone else came, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would not recognize it.
Therefore, with such achievements, Yun Tianyi's position within the Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect quickly rose, surpassing many competitors, and becoming the most powerful figure among the new generation, the recognized successor to the position of future sect leader in the eyes of the higher-ups.
