Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Boundless Distance

Qin Muling had a premonition that when he stepped into the Immortal Transformation realm and the true laws of the immortal path emerged within him, his luck, innate talent, and various divine abilities would undergo a transformative change. Now it seemed that his premonition was correct.

After the ninth Azure Lotus leaf phantom took shape and stabilized, it evolved into a divine ability called "Boundless Distance," which was a teleportation ability that disregarded the constraints of space and time.

As long as it was a place Qin Muling had been to before, he could instantly reach it without any obstacles using this divine ability. Moreover, once it was activated, no formation or restriction could trap him, and he could use it once every three days.

"...It seems that I won't need the jade tokens provided by the Heavenly Human Race anymore to enter the Illusory Mist Secret Realm anytime, anywhere?"

Qin Muling immediately thought of the best use for this divine ability. The Illusory Mist Secret Realm was vast and abundant with various treasures. If he secretly entered with a large group of elders, he would have free access to the rare resources inside.

Hmm, when I meet with my master and the Emperor later, I must inform them of this matter and let the sect come up with a suitable plan, Qin Muling contemplated to himself.

The jade tokens provided by the Heavenly Human Race only allowed the soul of an Extreme Void Starry Sky cultivator to enter the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, while the physical body remained in place. This was undoubtedly detrimental to cultivators.

Without the protection of the physical body, the vulnerability of cultivators in the secret realm was beyond doubt. Once they encountered danger, the injuries they suffered would be particularly severe and difficult to recover from.

From ancient times to the present, the number of Extreme Void Starry Sky geniuses whose souls were severely damaged or destroyed due to accidents during the opening of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm was already too numerous to count.

Many forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky were helpless in the face of this extremely unfair situation, and even Dao Court was powerless to change it.

If cultivators could enter the secret realm with their physical bodies, the situation would be much better. It would be easier to recover from injuries, and if measures were taken to conceal their aura and confuse divination, they might even be able to temporarily use power beyond the Immortal Ascension realm.

Hmm... There are also many good things in the Grotto-Heaven world left behind by the enigmatic Dao Venerable of Dao Court. I can also go in and take a look when I have the chance. However, it would be embarrassing if I were discovered, after all, this is different from taking advantage of the Heavenly Human Race.

In addition, there are countless dangerous places and ancient cave mansion ruins in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Qin Muling believed that with his divine ability, he would have the opportunity to seek fortune in all of them and would definitely not return empty-handed.

However, now both the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and Emperor Qing Huan of Dao Court would probably not agree to let him travel alone. If he were to encounter a powerful figure from an opposing force, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qin Muling silently adapted to the sudden increase in his cultivation and the blessings of the laws of the immortal path. His current actual combat power was not even in the same realm as a Destiny Realm cultivator.

For Qin Muling, his divine abilities in healing, transcending tribulation, and purifying and transforming the floating land environment had all made significant progress.

According to the statistics compiled by his master, Mu Yinghua, there were nearly 20,000 female cultivators in the sect who had reached the peak of True Immortal and needed to transcend the tribulation of the Mysterious Immortal. From now on, Qin Muling could help them transcend tribulation in batches. Once this was successfully accomplished, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have nearly 20,000 Mysterious Immortal-level experts.

In addition, there were nearly 10,000 female cultivators in the sect who had reached the peak of Mysterious Immortal and needed to transcend the tribulation of the Golden Immortal. However, this was a bit more difficult. The number of people who could transcend tribulation at once would not exceed five, to avoid causing irreparable damage to Qin Muling.

With his thoughts settled, Qin Muling slowly got up. He saw that the figures of the two emperors in mid-air had quietly disappeared. He waved his hand to deactivate all the formations and restrictions on the Immortal Ascension Platform, then stepped through the air towards Xue Bingxuan and the other female disciples who were watching from a distance.

"Junior Brother..."

Along with Princess Long Yi, all the senior sisters eagerly surrounded him, their beautiful faces shining, greeting him with charm and grace.

Although they knew that Qin Muling couldn't possibly have any problems, they still had to show their concern and greetings, especially with Princess Long Yi present. They had to give Junior Brother enough face and prevent the princess from feeling any disrespect or neglect.

"Alright, Junior Brother, since you have successfully transcended the tribulation, you need to adapt to your new realm and power. How about we have a fight now?" Luo Wanqing, with her stunning beauty, grabbed his wrist and said, her eyes filled with passion. Mu Yinghua had already agreed to her. This time, as long as Junior Brother finished transcending the tribulation, he could choose her as his partner without going through the lottery process.

"Not now. I still need to see Master and discuss important matters before anything else," Qin Muling said.

Princess Long Yi hesitated. She had planned to invite Qin Muling to her own dojo for a dinner together. But now, it seemed impossible to invite him alone. Xue Bingxuan and the other girls would never allow Junior Brother to be alone with her. It was quite a headache to think about it.

"Never mind. Whatever the senior sisters have to discuss, let's wait until I come back!" Qin Muling said finally.

On Imperial Dao Peak...

In the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master, Mu Yinghua and two Emperor Sovereigns were having a conversation. Several elders were present, each with their own unique elegance and noble demeanor.

When Qin Muling walked in, all eyes in the room fell on him.

"Very impressive. You have just successfully transcended the tribulation, and your luck has grown exponentially. Now, even the combined luck of all of us is inferior to yours!" Emperor Qing Huan looked at Qin Muling and said with a smile, ripples forming in his heart. He liked this prospective son-in-law more and more.

Qin Muling respectfully saluted and then sat next to Mu Yinghua. He took the spirit tea offered by a maid and subtly asked with his divine sense, "Master, should I tell Emperor Qing Huan about my special talents and divine abilities now?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Emperor Qing Huan and the Dao Court to know about it. After all, it was his special trump card and a means to greatly enhance the sect's strategic strength. Any leakage of this information would cause a huge uproar outside.

If Emperor Qing Huan found out and immediately demanded to share the benefits, sending a bunch of cultivators for him to help with transcending tribulation or healing, how should he respond? Should he become a tool for her as well?

Mu Yinghua tilted her head slightly, glanced at Qin Muling, and secretly responded, "Of course, you should tell her. Now that we are already in the closest alliance, we should have enough trust in each other. Besides, even if we don't say anything, Princess Long Yi has been by your side for a long time. Sooner or later, she will figure it out. It would make us seem too petty if we hide it."

"Alright, I have no objections," Qin Muling said. His master's point of view was reasonable, and it was clear that Emperor Xin Yu and she had discussed it beforehand. Since it was impossible to keep it a secret, it was better to be generous now and inform the other party directly.

"...Qing Huan Junior Sister, you probably already know something about Mu Ling's abilities. Since our relationship is no longer the same as before, we won't hide it anymore. If you want to share the benefits, we should discuss the specific arrangements now to avoid any conflicts in the future," Mu Yinghua said.

After a brief chat, Emperor Xin Yu finally broached the topic.

Emperor Qing Huan's eyes flickered slightly, "I have indeed heard something, but the specifics are not very clear. It's just that you all have protected him too well."

There is no denying that as the influence of the Dao Court continues to expand, there are more or less spies and informants among those Supreme orthodox forces, including the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.

The high-level members of the various orthodox forces are well aware of this. As long as it does not affect their own important interests, they will turn a blind eye. Everyone understands the principle that clear water has no fish, and this applies within the Dao Court as well. No one should speak ill of anyone.

Therefore, the high-level members of the Dao Court learned about Qin Muling's existence early on. Due to his close relationship with a few senior sisters and his limited contact with outsiders, as well as the tight protection from the elders, Emperor Qing Huan's knowledge of his secret abilities was quite limited.

Emperor Xin Yu then listed out Qin Muling's various abilities. Despite having some expectations, Emperor Qing Huan couldn't help but change her expression and fix her watery eyes on Qin Muling, looking at him intently.

At that moment, she even felt a hint of jealousy towards Princess Long Yi. Such a heaven-defying opportunity was indeed a bit out of reach for her daughter. Can she really handle it?

"What do you think? If the Emperor wants to plan and arrange something, it is best to make a decision as soon as possible, and the most crucial issue is confidentiality! You should understand the weight of this matter. Once the news leaks, the consequences will be unbearable for all of us."

Mu Yinghua calmly spoke, implying that if Emperor Qing Huan wanted to benefit from this, she must offer equivalent benefits in exchange. There is no free lunch.

Even the female cultivators of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have to offer substantial benefits in order to request Qin Muling's assistance. Why should outsiders get a free ride? It would already be considered fair to not demand exorbitant prices.

Emperor Qing Huan pondered for a moment and finally said, "This is a matter of great importance, and it is only right to be cautious and careful. How about this, I have a group of trusted disciples and subordinates who need to Transcend Tribulation, and there are also some high-level experts who are injured and in a deep sleep. I will send them all over another day, and after everything is done, I will personally take them away."

Because Emperor Qing Huan also came from the female cultivator orthodox Divine Maiden Sect, her direct influence also followed this tradition. They have always only recruited female cultivators, and no one is allowed to find a partner outside without her permission. They rarely have any dealings with outsiders.

In this way, the difficulty of keeping it a secret is greatly reduced. As long as they plant restrictions in the divine souls of the female cultivators who need to Transcend Tribulation, since they are all Emperor Qing Huan's people, she will naturally face no resistance in her operations.

Then they discussed the issue of rewards. Emperor Qing Huan promised a considerable amount of cultivation resources, with thirty percent going to the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and seventy percent going to Qin Muling personally. In the future, any similar cooperation requests would be handled according to this customary arrangement.

"...As for the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, I have two Acquired Spiritual Treasure-level spatial Law Weapons here. Why don't I just give them to Mu Ling?" Emperor Qing Huan said.

Emperor Xin Yu nodded slightly, "Any rare resources that Mu Ling brings back, as long as they are the types you need, we can negotiate an internal price for you. At that time, Princess Long Yi can also go in with him."

There was no need to argue about this. After discussing for a while, the two Emperors finalized the specific terms.

Emperor Qing Huan can use the resources she obtains in the future to cultivate her own trusted forces, or she can sell them at a higher price to other orthodox forces, and the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will not interfere.

As for Qin Muling's Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, Emperor Qing Huan doesn't need it now, but Princess Long Yi is bound to benefit greatly from it. Being together with him day after day, she is likely not far from reaching the Supreme Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

When Qin Muling returned to the back mountain of the Imperial Dao Peak, in the flower hall of the inner courtyard, the senior sisters were discussing scriptures and doctrines. Princess Long Yi and Su Yuanzhen were also present, making it a garden full of beautiful colors, a scene of splendor and beauty, with flowers blooming and gradually captivating the eyes.

"Has Junior Martial Brother returned?"

Upon seeing Qin Muling's figure, the women all stood up to greet him, surrounding him and asking about his well-being. They then pulled him to the main seat in the middle, with the beautiful and enchanting faces of the women shining brightly.

Qin Muling briefly explained the results of the discussion among the Emperor Immortals, and his gaze turned towards Princess Long Yi as he spoke gently, saying,

"Master has already assigned you a suitable dojo and Grotto-Heaven blessed land. The people you brought can all be settled there. However... you cannot freely move around within the main altar of the sect. When you have matters to attend to, you must be under the supervision of the elders. Do you have any objections?"

Although it was a bit abrupt, this was a matter of principle that couldn't be avoided. It was necessary to clarify one's stance early on to prevent conflicts and hurt feelings in the future.

Princess Long Yi's expression froze for a moment before nodding, "That's only natural. Mother has already instructed me that since we are in the territory of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, we must respect the rules and regulations here. We cannot act recklessly according to our own whims. Whatever you say, husband, goes."

Even before coming here, this golden branch and jade leaf of the Dao Court had already mentally prepared herself. As long as she could gain Qin Muling's recognition and favor, she was willing to endure any difficulties and grievances, let alone such trivial matters.

Luo Wanqing, who was beside them, frowned upon hearing this. This foxy woman called him "husband" right from the start, not treating herself as an outsider at all. Even though she had Master's instructions, she still felt somewhat repulsed.

Qin Muling smiled and said, "Since you are older than me and have a higher cultivation level, just call me Junior Martial Brother like the others."

"Alright, Junior Martial Brother."

Princess Long Yi smiled lightly, her stunning beauty captivating. Su Yuanzhen, who was beside her, also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been unsure of Qin Muling's temperament before and had been worried about her young mistress's situation. But now, it seemed that this husband of hers wasn't difficult to get along with?

Xue Bingxuan asked, "Junior Martial Brother, now that everything has been settled, should we accompany you in seclusion to cultivate?"

The elders of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had all recovered, and the female cultivators who needed to transcend their tribulations didn't need to rush. So Xue Bingxuan and the others felt that Qin Muling should spend some time with them. The Illusory Mist Secret Realm would reopen in less than half a year, and it would be best to break through to the level of Mysterious Immortal before then.

Qin Muling thought for a moment and agreed, "That's only natural. Let's do it together!"

The people from Emperor Qing Huan's side would have to wait for some time before coming over. Taking advantage of the accelerated opening time of the formation and the effects of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, it shouldn't be difficult for the senior sisters to break through to a new realm.

Princess Long Yi whispered, "Can Senior Sister join as well? And Aunt Su, she will also be serving you in the future, Junior Martial Brother! How about we all seclude together?"

Emperor Qing Huan had already instructed that no opportunity to be with Junior Martial Brother should be missed. Since Xue Bingxuan and the others wanted to seclude with him, she naturally couldn't be absent.

"Well..." Qin Muling couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. The situation when secluding with Xue Bingxuan and the others was something that didn't need to be explained in detail. However, Princess Long Yi and Su Yuanzhen were newcomers after all. It seemed unreliable to have them change into those bold and daring clothes and play those indescribable games with him.

If it were someone with a strong personality, it would probably lead to a falling out.
