Chapter 162: Gathering of Immortals
Time quietly passed by.
Qin Muling has now established a roughly fixed daily routine. Every time she goes out, it lasts for about seven days. Together with her two senior sisters, they eliminate the scattered Demon Race descendants and purify the floating land dead zones.
If they encounter powerful individual members of the Demon Race that exceed Qin Muling's current strength limit, her senior sisters will take care of them.
There are no other benefits to be gained from these Demon Race descendants. The resources they use for growth and cultivation are simply not suitable for human cultivators. Therefore, any confiscated resources can only be destroyed. The greatest reward for killing them is the heavenly merit. Additionally, if they can capture and subdue powerful individuals among them, they can be turned into puppet weapons by skilled craftsmen, making them excellent tools for battle and slaughter.
Qin Muling is not lacking in puppet weapons now. The only resource she values is heavenly merit. As long as her cultivation level increases, other problems will no longer be a concern.
When the seven-day period is over, the three of them will return to the branch of the sect and go into seclusion to digest the gains from their adventures. They will also take care of the medicinal garden and cultivate the Spirit Medicine according to the plan, turning them into Holy Medicine or even Divine Medicine with long years of age. Whether for personal use or for sale, it will be a rewarding choice.
Of course, taking care of her two senior sisters is also an essential task. Fortunately, with Qin Muling's current cultivation level, dealing with them is still within her capabilities.
With abundant cultivation resources, heavenly merit, and the benefits of continuous cultivation, the three of them are advancing their cultivation levels at a fast pace. Qin Muling has already reached the Triple True Self Realm, and her two senior sisters are not far from reaching the Mid-Origin Immortal Realm.
Inside the secret hall.
"...At this rate, you two could very well reach the True Immortal Realm before me. However, Senior Sister will definitely have complaints," Qin Muling said with some effort as she sat up and looked at her satisfied senior sisters, whose beautiful faces were flushed. The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed in her body emitted a faint glow, and the essence of abundant spiritual energy continued to surge into her body, rapidly restoring her vitality.
Qi Yalan tidied up the bloodstains and garter belts on her body, put on a gorgeous dress, and then hugged her junior brother affectionately, giving him a kiss. She smiled and said, "Why worry? This matter was arranged by Master. Even if there are some differences in the benefits we receive, it's only temporary. They won't blame you, Junior Brother."
"That's good," Qin Muling muttered, but she didn't hold much hope in her heart. In matters like this, even the most knowledgeable and gentle women won't expect them to reason with you. Or rather, they will only speak their own truth.
Luo Huan elegantly tied the knot of her transparent silk bellyband and gently rubbed her jade-like feet against Qin Muling's waist. She smiled gently and said, "With your cultivation speed, Junior Brother, it's only a matter of time before you step into the Destiny Realm. By then, you won't have to worry about the possibility of an uneven distribution of benefits."
Qin Muling nodded, tidied up her clothes, and then took out a communication jade talisman. Infusing it with mana, she began to look through the important events that had occurred inside and outside the sect in the past few days.
The calamity of the Demon Race is escalating in Extreme Void Starry Sky. Almost all the forces of the Dao traditions, including the territories of the intelligent beings of other races, have been besieged by a large number of descendants of the Demon Race, resulting in astonishing losses, especially for mortal kingdoms and cities.
A group of Demon Race descendants with Perfected Being Realm strength can slaughter billions of mortals on a floating land of tens of thousands of square miles in just two or three days. If there is no equivalent power to intervene in time, no matter how many mortals there are, they will be like lambs to the slaughter.
During the few days when Qin Muling and his senior sister were in seclusion, numerous small and medium-sized forces of the Dao traditions in Extreme Void Starry Sky were annihilated one after another. Not only did the vast number of mortal beings in their territories perish, but even the foundations of their sects were destroyed, with only a few surviving descendants escaping the danger.
[Immortal Lord Huan Die: Just one day ago, the Yunluo Sword Sect in the Qingyao Immortal Domain had its mountain gate breached. The Supreme Sect Master, along with tens of thousands of elders and disciples, all died in battle, with less than a hundred people managing to escape.]
[Immortal Lord Feng Hua: Is this the first Supreme tradition within the Dao Court's influence to be wiped out? But it's strange. The Yunluo Sword Sect is not weak. How did they get destroyed by those outsiders? Did something unexpected happen?]
[Yu Lingzhou: It should be because a Quasi-Saint Emperor Monarch level existence appeared among the descendants of the Demon Race. I remember there are many desolate Star Domains surrounding the Yunluo Sword Sect's territory, where there may be an unimaginably large legion of aberrations lurking. It's no wonder they couldn't resist.]
[Immortal Lord Huan Die: That's exactly what happened. Moreover, the Demon Race Quasi-Saint Emperor that emerged possesses a precious treasure and formidable combat power. There were no strong individuals of the same level within the Yunluo Sword Sect to balance the situation, so their destruction was inevitable.]
[Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan: I can guarantee that there is definitely more than one Quasi-Saint Emperor Monarch level powerhouse among these aberrations. There will definitely be more Emperor Monarchs emerging in the future. The Yunluo Sword Sect may be the first Supreme tradition to be wiped out, but it won't be the last.]
Qin Muling's expression changed slightly as his intuition told him that this possibility was entirely possible and not low. However, there are not many Supreme traditions and super clans in Extreme Void Starry Sky that have a Quasi-Saint Emperor presiding over them, so they may not necessarily have the advantage when facing them.
With Emperor Xin Yu presiding over the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, backed by the Mountain Protection Array and the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower, it is not a problem to resist a fully empowered foreign Quasi-Saint Emperor for the time being.
However, if two Quasi-Saint Emperors were to attack, the outcome would be completely different. At that time, unless the Dao Court took action, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would also be unable to escape destruction.
[Mu Yinghua: There's no need to worry too much. I just received news that Emperor Xuan Yin of the Dao Court has set off with the Wind and Thunder Han Tian Bell to intercept that foreign Emperor Monarch. I believe good news will come soon.]
[Xue Bingxuan: The reaction of the Dao Court's high-level is quite fast this time. I hope Emperor Xuan Yin can return triumphantly, otherwise, we will also be in a difficult situation.]
The appearance of the Demon Race Emperor Monarch has had a significant psychological impact on the high-level figures of the various Supreme traditions. If this menace is not swiftly dealt with by thunderous means, many forces may lose their confidence to resist to the end. Therefore, Emperor Xuan Yin decided to take action personally.
Moreover, as long as this matter is successfully resolved, the prestige of the Dao Court in the hearts of billions of cultivators will rise to a new high, which is beneficial and harmless for the further expansion of the Dao Court's influence.
[Qin Muling: Master, and all the elders, now that my cultivation has stabilized, I can arrange for a new batch of disciples and elders to undergo Transcending Tribulation. We can have more people this time.]
There was an unexpected silence in the group for a moment. Obviously, no one expected Qin Muling, who had always been silent, to speak up. As a personally transmitted disciple with an extraordinary status, even though he was only at the True Self Realm, Emperor Xin Yu would not overlook his existence.
[Mu Yinghua: Since that's the case, I will make arrangements for you. The sect is currently short of manpower, and many territories are difficult to manage. If we can increase the number of Origin Immortal experts, it will be much easier.]
After putting away the communication jade talisman, Qin Muling silently calculated for a moment. With her current level of luck, it was not a problem to support all the peak Destiny Realm female cultivators in the sect who were transcending tribulation, including those at the peak of Immortal Ascension. As long as they met the conditions for transcending tribulation, they could come to her.
The last time, the fifty Origin Immortals who successfully transcended tribulation and the two hundred Immortal Transformation female cultivators were mostly sent by Mu Yinghua to the newly recovered Star Domains such as Cangquan, Feiyu, and Liuhua. This quickly stabilized the situation there, and the luck of billions of people smoothly merged with the sect.
Two days later, seven slender and graceful Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats arrived as scheduled. They were still led by the two elders, Yu Lingzhou and Yue Yi Tianjun, with thousands of stunning female cultivators accompanying them, all of whom were elders from previous generations.
With two hundred peak Immortal Ascension experts and nearly a thousand peak Destiny Realm experts, as long as they passed the test of heavenly tribulation, they could become two hundred Origin Immortals and nearly a thousand Immortal Transformation cultivators. This once again raised the overall strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
What was different this time was that a special Origin Immortal had also come. She was Mu Yinghua's clan sister, Ming Yuxian.
Although they were from the same family, Ming Yuxian's talent and aptitude were much worse than Mu Yinghua's. She had been stuck at the peak of Origin Immortal for many years and had never had enough confidence to transcend tribulation.
So Mu Yinghua sent her over, hoping that Qin Muling could support her in breaking through to the True Immortal realm. As long as it was successful, she would gain millions of years of lifespan.
Qin Muling had no objections to this. After all, her master would not let her suffer. The many benefits that Ming Yuxian had given her could buy the permanent ownership of hundreds of floating lands, which had been operating for many years and covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.
Considering the tight defense situation in many territories, Yu Lingzhou didn't want to waste time. He immediately set up the transcending tribulation formation and asked Qin Muling to begin.
Ten people crossed the tribulation to become Origin Immortals, and sixty people crossed the tribulation to become Immortal Transformation cultivators. It took nearly a month to complete, and then it was Ming Yuxian's turn.
The power of the True Immortal tribulation was much more exaggerated, but with Qin Muling's support, she still crossed it safely.
This time, it consumed a lot of Qin Muling's luck, nearly three percent, but as long as she dual-cultivated with her senior sisters for a few nights, she could quickly recover.
"Alright, next time I'll bring more senior sisters and junior sisters with me."
Yu Lingzhou, who had put his mind at ease, smiled. With the addition of this group of new forces, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would be more than capable of dealing with calamities, exchanging smaller losses for greater victories.
Moreover, as long as Qin Muling could successfully support all the senior sisters and junior sisters in the sect who needed to transcend tribulation, the overall strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would significantly surpass its peak period ten thousand years ago, becoming the strongest force in the Supreme Dao lineage, surpassing even the Palace of Calamitous Fate in this aspect.
It should be noted that all cultivators in the Dao lineage, including Dao Court, faced a life-or-death test when transcending tribulation, with a very high failure rate. However, with Qin Muling, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would no longer have the risk of falling during transcending tribulation. If fifty people transcended tribulation, all fifty would succeed; if a thousand people transcended tribulation, all a thousand would succeed.
"Can you ensure absolute safety? At least for the next five hundred years. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, not only will I be in trouble, but the entire sect will face unimaginable consequences."
In the secret hall, Qin Muling asked Yu Lingzhou, "Among so many female cultivators, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no senior spies secretly planted by other forces. If there are not enough means to restrain them, the consequences of them leaking information would be extremely serious."
Yu Lingzhou smiled and said, "Rest assured, before the sect leader dealt with them individually and Emperor Xin Yu placed powerful restrictions in their souls. If they dare to leak a word, their souls will immediately disperse, and no means can save them. The restrictions are effective for a thousand years."
Qin Muling felt relieved. The methods of the Emperor were not easy to crack, so even if there were infiltrators among these female cultivators, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
"There is one more thing," Yu Lingzhou said, "The high-level members of Dao Court have issued a notice to all forces, stating that in order to deal with the great calamity, this round of the gathering of immortals will be held in advance. A batch of previously unseen special secret realms will be opened for outstanding disciples of various lineages to enter and seek opportunities. They can choose to keep any gains for themselves or transfer them to Dao Court at a reasonable price. They will not be taken advantage of."
Qin Muling's heart skipped a beat. As the number one immortal sacred land in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, Dao Court possessed secret resources that ordinary supreme lineages couldn't compare to.
Therefore, in previous gatherings of immortals, many outstanding disciples from various supreme lineages, including those rarely seen prodigies, would appear in person to compete for special opportunities.
"Can I participate?" Qin Muling asked directly.
"Of course you can, but the gathering is still more than half a year away, so you still have a chance to further improve your cultivation. More importantly, you need to guide and protect a group of disciples and elders through their transcending tribulation," Yu Lingzhou said with a smile. "Not only you, but even your senior sisters will also have to go. This kind of gathering only happens once every five hundred years, so it is a rare opportunity. I estimate that the other supreme lineages are also preparing."
The opportunity to openly benefit from Dao Court is rare, so even forces like the Palace of Calamitous Fate attach great importance to it. The powerful intelligent beings of other races are no exception. It can be said that the well-known prodigies in the Extreme Void Starry Sky will not be absent at that time.
Qi Yalan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that some people might harm Junior Brother or even forcefully take him away. What should we do then?"
Yu Lingzhou shook his head and said, "That won't happen. The gathering of immortals has the joint endorsement of the three Emperors of Dao Court. Even the most unruly forces dare not cause trouble in such an occasion. There have never been any accidents in previous gatherings. So Junior Brother's safety is guaranteed. Moreover, we will also send a strong force to accompany you and protect your safety."
"That's good then," Qin Muling said. She was no longer a powerless newcomer and had no need to fear those prodigies of the same generation.
