Chapter 211 "Shut up, wicked disciple!"
The Immortal Domain of Bright Moon Sword Sect.
The main altar of Bright Moon Sword Sect is located on a vast land that spans billions of miles. At this moment, with the full activation of the sect's mountain protection formation, the entire land is covered by a thick and towering blaze of light. The clouds are steaming, the colors are vibrant, and the boundless clouds and countless auspicious lights form an unimaginably solid barrier.
In the void, endless descendants of the Demon Race surge like a raging tide, madly attacking the outer cloud light of the mountain protection formation. Countless Divine Abilities spells relentlessly bombard, gradually wearing away the resilient and solid cloud light layer by layer.
The mountain protection formation also counterattacks. Deep purple electric dragons, like giant dragons, constantly surge out from the depths of the formation. Amidst the eruption of tens of thousands of feet of deep purple thunder, countless descendants of the Demon Race are blasted into pieces, leaving behind large empty areas that are quickly filled by more of their kind.
In the core area of the land, there are towering and majestic mountain ranges that stretch endlessly into the sky. The grand and solemn main hall of Bright Moon Sword Sect is located on the main peak of the mountain range, which is over a hundred thousand miles high.
On the white jade steps in front of the main hall, Supreme Lin Xuanyuan, the sect leader surrounded by a group of elders and disciples, looks up at the high sky with a dark face, silently gazing at the endless stream of Demon Race descendants rushing over like a relentless tide.
Bright Moon Sword Sect has painstakingly cultivated the mountain protection formation for millions of years, and its defensive power naturally does not disappoint. These inhuman creatures have been besieging the sect for half a year, but they have not been able to truly shake the foundation of the formation. They have only needlessly sacrificed countless elite legions.
However, this is not a long-term solution. With the mountain protection formation operating at full capacity, the resources consumed every moment are wealth that an ordinary True Immortal cannot earn in a lifetime.
Even though the sect's resources are abundant enough to support the operation of the mountain protection formation for three, five, or even ten or eight years, what about a longer period of time? If these creatures are determined to destroy Bright Moon Sword Sect and refuse to retreat, what should be done then?
The most powerful individuals among the Demon Race descendants that have appeared so far are only at the Destiny Realm and Immortal Transformation stages. Occasionally, a few Origin Immortals appear, and that is the limit. The mountain protection formation can fully handle them.
However, as time goes on, when powerful beings of the Mysterious Immortal and above levels appear in groups, it will be the moment of severe testing for the mountain protection formation.
Of course, what worries Sect Leader Lin Xuanyuan the most is the appearance of Demon Race descendants at the Taiyi and Great Principle levels, or even the terrifying existence of the Quasi-Saint Emperor level. That would be the most deadly crisis, and the mountain protection formation would not be able to hold on for long.
"Has there been any response from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?" Lin Xuanyuan finally turns his gaze and coldly asks.
A core elder whispers, "There has been a response, but those female cultivators have made outrageous demands, and our envoy couldn't reach an agreement with them."
"What exactly do they want?"
"They want us to return twenty-four Innate and Acquired Spiritual Treasures, including the Jiuli Wind Thunder Mace, as well as all the rare treasures and resources that we took from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace back then. They also want us to return all the territories that originally belonged to Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, and in addition, they want us to cede thirty-six fertile territories of the major Star Domains to them..."
The core elder lists a long string of conditions, each one like a sharp blade, fiercely striking at Sect Leader Lin Xuanyuan's heart, making his expression even more unpleasant.
"What are these greedy women thinking?"
Lin Shengqing beside him couldn't help but angrily curse, "If we can't hold on and perish, these creatures' next target will be Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace! Don't they understand the principle of mutual dependence? How dare they make such outrageous demands?!"
The elders around them look at each other, but no one speaks.
When they learned of Emperor Xin Yu's recovery a few days ago, the high-level members of Bright Moon Sword Sect were not only shocked and angry, but also deeply fearful. This Quasi-Saint Emperor might not necessarily consider revenge against their old enemies after learning about the changes the sect has undergone in the past ten thousand years.
Fortunately, there are priorities in matters. Nowadays, with the rampage of the Demon Race, the Extreme Void Starry Sky cultivation world needs to work together and help each other to overcome the difficulties.
After all, the territory of the Bright Moon Sword Sect is not too far from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. If things go wrong here, the next target for the Demon Race descendants who have freed up their hands will definitely be their side.
After thinking it over, Lin Xuanyuan sent an envoy to promise to return the territory as a condition, trying to persuade the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace to send Emperor Xin Yu to help, to solve their own urgent problems first.
Unfortunately, the high-level members of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were not moved at all. They even opened their mouths wide and set unimaginably harsh conditions, making Lin Xuanyuan almost furious.
A core elder looked at Lin Xuanyuan's expression and courageously said, "Master, the situation is different now. We may have to compromise on some things due to the circumstances! In any case, we must first find a way to preserve the sect's heritage before considering other matters."
Whether a sect has a Quasi-Saint Emperor sitting in power is a completely different concept from the status and influence it can have. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has an Emperor, while the Bright Moon Sword Sect does not, so their positions cannot be equal.
Compared to the catastrophic outcome of the sect's foundation being destroyed and all its disciples dying, although the price demanded by the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is exaggerated, it is still acceptable.
Lin Shengqing said coldly, "Even if we agree to their conditions, their Emperor may not fulfill their promise, or after repelling the siege of the Demon Race descendants, she may decide to attack us. Can we defend ourselves?"
Silence fell again.
This disastrous situation is not impossible. When the knife is in someone else's hand, the Bright Moon Sword Sect is like a piece of fat meat. The other party can cut it however they want.
Lin Xuanyuan sighed and asked in a deep voice, "How is the recovery of the Emperor from the Jade Pearl Star Palace? Can we form an alliance with them again? Not only to resist the disaster of the Demon Race, but also to suppress the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?"
The Jade Pearl Star Palace and the Bright Moon Sword Sect have a traditional alliance relationship in the past, and they both have grievances with the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. The trust between them is naturally higher. Joining forces again at this time is a reasonable choice.
Elder Luo Han said, "The recovery of that Emperor is limited. It is said that he can only make three moves at most. Although the high-level members of the Jade Pearl Star Palace have made various efforts, they still have not been able to borrow enough heavenly merits and earth virtues, so... for now, they can only barely protect themselves."
"That Supreme Yan Qinyang said that the alliance can be considered, but we must provide at least two billion heavenly merits and earth virtues as proof of sincerity."
"Damn it!"
Lin Xuanyuan was so angry that he cursed, "Even if we have so many merits and virtues, do we still need to beg them? They are just as greedy as the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace! Are they taking us for fools?"
However, many elders around showed signs of interest. After all, among the several Supreme sects around, only the Jade Pearl Star Palace still has a semi-crippled Quasi-Saint Emperor supporting its facade. The other sects don't even have that, so they have little say.
Two billion heavenly merits and earth virtues are indeed exaggerated, but this price is negotiable. As long as they can hold onto the thigh of the Jade Pearl Star Palace, there is hope to preserve the sect's heritage. After all, in the current situation, there is no better choice for the Bright Moon Sword Sect.
Lin Xuanyuan also understood this relationship of interests. After venting, he turned to his son, Lin Shengqing, and said, "You go personally this time and talk to their Master. We must reach an alliance!"
"Yes, father."
Lin Shengqing agreed.
Lin Xuanyuan frowned and looked at the dense descendants of the Demon Race in the sky, and a question suddenly arose in his mind: How did Emperor Xin Yu of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace recover? Could it be that they have another secret way to obtain a large amount of heavenly merits and earth virtues?
Unfortunately, this kind of top-secret information that concerns the rise and fall of the sect is probably only known by the Supreme of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and a few core figures. Others will never have a chance to find out.
......
Imperial Dao Peak, behind the mountain.
By the tranquil waterside, several exquisite white jade cauldrons were placed, with faint blue spiritual flames leaping and swirling beneath them. The thick soup in the cauldrons was boiling and bubbling, with a faint shimmer of flowing radiance.
There were several cleaned Thunder Feather Star Pengs and numerous Spirit Medicine Holy Medicines, along with various mushrooms and precious mountain delicacies. They had been stewing for quite some time, and the enticing aroma filled the air.
Qin Muling and Mu Yinghua sat side by side on a stone stool, whispering softly.
"...It's been a long time since we've had such a relaxing and enjoyable pastime."
Mu Yinghua's melodious voice carried a hint of sentiment. Since taking over as the head of the sect, she had been diligent and devoted, working tirelessly for the revival of the sect, leaving no moment for relaxation.
Qin Muling spoke gently, "These years, Master has indeed worked hard."
Mu Yinghua turned her beautiful and watery eyes towards the young man beside her, her face full and soft. "If it weren't for you, perhaps I would have collapsed from exhaustion in this position, and it would have been difficult to revive the sect. Muling, you... are my benefactor!"
Before meeting Qin Muling, the outside world's evaluation of Mu Yinghua as the head of the sect was that she had sufficient abilities and had accomplished some things, but she still fell short of the standard of a revitalizing leader. Of course, this was not her fault, but rather because Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had already been tossed around by that idiotic Saint Mother.
When Mu Yinghua took over, it was a mess. After so many years, being able to maintain the foundation of the sect without collapsing was already commendable. To restore the sect's former glory and regain its strength was no easy task.
According to Mu Yinghua's original plan, when Xue Bingxuan grew up and took over this burden from her in several years, it would be considered good if Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace could maintain its current state and regain some strength.
However, everything changed after Qin Muling entered the sect. With the terrifying luck bestowed by the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, Mu Yinghua finally felt invincible. She handled many internal and external affairs with ease, without the exhaustion she had experienced in the past.
The subsequent events need not be mentioned in detail. With Qin Muling's rapidly increasing cultivation, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's strength also rose, and now, with Emperor Xin Yu returning to his peak state, it meant that the entire sect had completely overcome its accumulated weakness over thousands of years and became one of the top superpowers in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"Now the situation of the sect is excellent, but it seems that you have more things to do!"
Mu Yinghua raised her slender jade hand and subconsciously wanted to touch the young man's head, but then felt it was inappropriate, so she landed on his face and gently caressed it before wrapping her arm around his shoulder.
"What does Master need me to do?"
"First, there are those Supreme Elders who are still sleeping in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm. They all need your abilities to heal and restore them, especially the Eternal Easy Ancestor who sacrificed her lifespan and shielded your fate."
Mu Yinghua said, as Emperor Xin Yu couldn't personally handle everything, the role of these Supreme Elders was still irreplaceable.
"Alright, no problem. What else?"
"Then there are the senior disciples in the sect who need to transcend their tribulations. The total number is probably tens of thousands. From the Heart Devil Tribulation, Immortal Transformation Tribulation, to the realms of Origin Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, and Golden Immortal, there are female cultivators who need your support."
Mu Yinghua continued, these two major tasks were of utmost importance. As long as they were handled properly, the overall strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would undoubtedly skyrocket, equivalent to the combined strength of more than a dozen Supreme Daoist sects in the past.
In addition to this, Qin Muling's talent for mass-producing Holy Medicines and Divine Medicines with his Divine Ability was also indispensable. After all, any Daoist sect's demand for medicinal resources was almost endless. With him, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have an endless supply of Holy Medicines and Divine Medicines, and could fully cultivate a large number of new disciples in the future.
"This is not a problem, but I feel that currently there is only one Quasi-Saint Emperor sitting in the sect, and it seems a bit insufficient."
Qin Muling pondered, recalling the records he had read in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. When this pure female cultivation sect was founded, including the founding ancestor, there were a total of five Quasi-Saint Emperor Monarch Level experts in the sect.
However, this prosperous situation did not last long. The founding ancestor ascended through the shattered void, taking all the second-generation disciples with him, leaving only Emperor Xin Yu, who was the third-generation disciple, in charge of the sect.
"So... what do you plan to do?"
Mu Yinghua picked up the jade wine cup next to her and took a sip before handing it to Qin Muling.
Qin Muling calmly accepted it and took a sip of the spiritual wine, saying, "How far are you from reaching the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm, Master? My Spiritual Light of Enlightenment should be effective for you now, right?"
"It does have an effect, but..."
Mu Yinghua hesitated, a blush appearing on her beautiful face, radiating charm.
So far, the ones who had come to benefit from Qin Muling's Spiritual Light of Enlightenment during his cultivation were his close senior sisters. As his master, how could he have the audacity to join those direct disciples and benefit from him? It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.
Furthermore, when he thought about those young girls who would almost always remove their skirts and put on those bold and embarrassing clothes when cultivating with Qin Muling, revealing their flawless and beautiful bodies, it was... it was too vulgar.
"But what?"
Qin Muling's eyes flickered slightly, asking with a puzzled expression.
If he could accompany his master in cultivation for hundreds or even thousands of years, it would not be too difficult to help her break through to the next realm. However, in that case, the daily affairs of the sect would have to be handed over to the eldest senior sister, and she would probably be frustrated for a while.
During that time, he and his master would be secluded in the secret chamber, focusing on cultivation, while the eldest senior sister would be working hard to handle various political affairs outside. The resentment in her heart would be unimaginable.
"It's nothing,"
Mu Yinghua's gaze shifted to the side. "Your Spiritual Light of Enlightenment is useful for me now, but it's not significant enough. The effects of a few short retreats are not enough for me to break through."
Qin Muling's expression froze. "Is that so? Then, the only better method than the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment would be..."
"Disciple, stop!"
Mu Yinghua's beautiful eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, and her voice suddenly became stern.
Qin Muling: "???"
He just wanted to suggest using a time acceleration array. After all, he had enough lifespan, and wasting thousands of years was not a big deal. However, it seemed that his master had misunderstood his intention.
Seeing the slightly frustrated and helpless expression on the young man's face, his master felt a hint of regret in her heart. However, she couldn't bring herself to speak kindly at this moment. She stood up without saying a word and disappeared into the air like flowing light.
Not resting at night, continuing to write, seeking monthly and recommendation votes.
