Chapter 126: Leaving the Sect
At the peak of Imperial Dao Peak.
Mu Yinghua stood alone, her slender and plump figure gazing up at the rolling golden and purple aura gathering in the sky. She silently activated the secret technique of the Heavenly Machine, calculating in her mind.
"The hope of the sect's revival is growing stronger..."
The sect master murmured to herself. Although the proportion of the aura was not high, the absolute quantity was quite substantial compared to the current foundation.
If the overall aura of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was one hundred when Qin Muling first joined the sect, his addition immediately increased the sect's aura by thirty, which was equivalent to thirty.
However, now, with the massive rare resources brought back by Qin Muling from the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, the recovery of over twenty Grand Elders, the return of the sect's treasured Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower, the continuous repair of the main body of the sect's headquarters, and the rapid increase in Qin Muling's own cultivation and aura, the overall aura of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has reached a level of about one thousand, and there is no sign of stagnation.
Therefore, this one percent increase is equivalent to one hundred. And this is only the current change, it is unknown whether there will be further increases in the future.
What's more important is that after Qin Muling joined forces with Xue Bingxuan, his connection with the sect has become even closer, making it increasingly unlikely for outsiders to undermine him.
Mu Yinghua was not worried about those super sects, but the Dao Court was different. If they didn't take precautions in advance, it was possible that they would succeed in undermining them.
At least the current Emperor Qing Huan of the Dao Court is an existence that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace cannot shake. If she is determined to undermine the sect and ignore the rules, Mu Yinghua really has no way to deal with it for a while.
Of course, now that Xue Bingxuan has become his Dao companion, this concern is temporarily nonexistent.
Perhaps, when she retires from the position of sect master Supreme in several years, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will have restored its ancient status and glory as a super sect.
Mu Yinghua let out a long sigh. In the near future, she can completely become the one who revitalizes Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, with her name recorded in history and her life story admired and passed down by countless future generations.
"Sect Master..."
Yu Lingzhou appeared by her side, followed by Yueyi Tianjun. "Will they be able to come out in ten days? Should we extend it a bit? Otherwise, it may be difficult to conceal."
Mu Yinghua understood her meaning and pondered for a moment. "Of course, we can do that. Let's decide on that! But I think ten days should be enough. It's not advisable to practice together for too long for the first time. Moderation is the right way."
Yu Lingzhou smiled and looked at her meaningfully. "But you seem unhappy. Could it be because..."
Mu Yinghua was slightly taken aback. "Elder, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, hehe..."
Yu Lingzhou looked at the sect master with a meaningful gaze, then changed the topic. "After Tang Ruoxuan left the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, she went to the headquarters of the Huaqing Divine Palace. It is said that she received a high-level reception from the sect master Yulian Xianzun. How do you think we should respond to this?"
Mu Yinghua furrowed her brows. The grudges between Huaqing Divine Palace and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace have a long history, and it is difficult to say who is right or wrong now, let alone turning enemies into friends.
When disciples from the two sects travel outside, they avoid meeting each other. But once they come face to face, it always ends in a fierce fight with no quarter given.
Over the past thousands of years, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has been weak, while Huaqing Divine Palace has flourished due to its ability to make connections and develop by "lowering its status." Therefore, when facing their old rivals, they become even more aggressive, constantly surrounding and provoking them, repeatedly attempting to start a war.
"This kind of thing is unavoidable. We can only watch and wait," Mu Yinghua pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Even if they try to stir up trouble, the sect is unlikely to lean towards them at the moment, so there's no need to worry. At least until the end of the ceasefire, we can focus on recovering and developing in peace."
The two elders nodded. Right now, what Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace needs most is time. As long as they can get through this special period, they will naturally be fearless against any external challenges.
However, the hostile forces may not be unaware of this, so certain underhanded methods are inevitable. The high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace must not take it lightly.
Yu Lingzhou asked again, "In your opinion, Sect Master, how much can we recover after the ceasefire expires?"
Mu Yinghua's gaze turned to the area behind the mountain, "It depends on Qin Muling's growth speed. As long as he can successfully undergo Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension, at least half of the elders who are currently dormant in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm can be restored because of him. By then, our high-end combat power will be enough to reunify Cloud Dream Immortal Domain."
Cloud Dream Immortal Domain was originally the traditional territory of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. Together with the vast territories in the surrounding starry sky, they have now been divided by numerous forces. If they can successfully reclaim them, it means that the revival of the sect is about 70-80% complete, and the road ahead will be much smoother.
Yu Lingzhou smiled faintly, "That's the same as my judgment. As long as we have the support of those elders, we will have no problem contending with the surrounding Supreme sects."
In fact, as long as a Supreme sect has existed for over a million years, their main stronghold will generally have a group of elders who have been injured for various reasons and have been in seclusion for many years. However, only a very small portion of them have the opportunity to recover.
Most of the elders will only make a move when their own sect is facing a life-or-death crisis. They will sacrifice their remaining vitality and fight to the death, taking down one or several enemies of similar cultivation level with them.
Therefore, these high-end combat powers cannot be counted on until the final desperate moment. They are basically just for show in normal times.
However, now that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has Qin Muling, a special existence, they can fully awaken and restore all these elders, turning them into high-end combat powers that can be used at any time. This strategic advantage is unmatched by the surrounding sects.
Mu Yinghua sighed, "His growth speed is already quite fast, but I still feel it's not enough. If only he could be faster. Unfortunately, the special resources in the sect that can rapidly improve cultivation are mostly suitable for female cultivators... It's really..."
"Then let's buy them from outside," Yu Lingzhou said in a deep voice, "Through those secret channels, even if it costs more, it doesn't matter. For example, those Phoenix Glow Heaven Mending Pills, buy as many as possible. As the esteemed Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, we shouldn't be unable to provide the necessary resources for the growth of a male disciple!"
"That's true. Let's decide on that," Mu Yinghua nodded. Although these rare resources are relatively scarce in the market and controlled by major sects, as long as they are willing to spend spirit stones and crystals, they can still obtain some. It's just for the sake of satisfying Qin Muling's cultivation needs, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Yu Lingzhou narrowed her beautiful eyes, smiling mysteriously, "Besides resources, there is actually another solution. If we can arrange a few high-level female cultivators to practice with him, we can achieve the same effect. Look..."
"What do you mean?" Mu Yinghua's expression froze, and a hint of alertness appeared in his voice. A powerful aura emanated from him without being released.
"Where are you going?"
Yu Lingzhou remained calm: "I'm just giving you a suggestion. After all, this is a matter of public affairs and concerns the revival of the sect. It's not a time to be willful and throw a tantrum, right, Sect Master?"
"..."
Mu Yinghua looked at the other person suspiciously for a while before snorting, "I will find a way to solve this matter properly. Elder Yu doesn't need to ask any further."
After speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.
Yu Lingzhou's thoughts moved slightly, and the spiritual energy in front of him fluctuated like water, forming a bright mirror silently.
The two women in the mirror were both enchanting and beautiful, with exquisite and captivating looks. Yu Lingzhou's temperament leaned towards purity and innocence, with a lively and vibrant aura. The temperament of the Heavenly Empress Yueyi was noble and dignified. As for their figures, they were equally alluring, making it difficult for people to resist being intoxicated.
The two women smiled at each other and left hand in hand.
...
After ten days and ten nights.
Above the silent and profound sky, the dazzling celestial phenomenon finally faded away slowly. The sect's mountain protection formation gradually fell into silence, marking the end of this round of the giant land restoration project.
Due to the improved efficiency, the speed of the giant land's recovery was much faster than expected. Just this time, the outer edge of the giant land expanded by an average of over two million miles. The nearby fragments of land in the void had mostly returned.
Moreover, with the rapid increase in the sect's fortune, the concentration of spiritual energy on the vast giant land had noticeably increased. Many previously depleted spiritual veins and blessed lands had begun to show signs of recovery. Many disciples at the grassroots level also made progress in their cultivation during meditation.
Even the success rate of the elders' alchemy, refining tools, making talismans, and healing injuries had significantly increased. In the past, this was almost unimaginable.
At the entrance of the sleeping palace.
Mu Xiner and the other ten maids had been standing there for quite some time. In their hands were brand new ceremonial attire, jade belts and accessories, as well as carefully brewed millennium ginseng soup and elixirs that replenished vital energy.
Originally, they thought it would be another leisurely day, but it was Elder Lan who came to remind them, prompting them to quickly prepare for the new disciple's departure.
Finally, the main gate of the sleeping palace slowly opened, and Xue Bingxuan's cool and lazy voice sounded, instructing them to go in and serve.
"...Finally, it's over."
Deep within the heavy brocade curtains, Qin Muling, with a tired expression, breathed a sigh of relief. With some difficulty, she stood up and went to the back hall with Mu Xiner's support to change her clothes.
In these days, the usually gentle and graceful senior sister had become unusually domineering. Basically, she didn't let him put on any clothes. Day and night, tirelessly, she tried various ways to please him.
Although this unprecedented experience was what he had dreamed of, everything had to have a limit. Once it went too far, all that was left was discomfort.
Originally, he was naturally at a disadvantage in this matter, let alone the huge gap in cultivation between him and Senior Sister. Besides being completely suppressed, he had no power to fight back.
After a few rounds, Qin Muling reluctantly accepted his fate: Senior Sister, I don't want to try anymore! Do whatever you want!
Of course, neither Xue Bingxuan nor he knew that in the hidden space layer, a group of graceful figures silently watched the entire process, enjoying themselves and communicating with each other through divine thoughts, showing a strong desire to take over personally.
Fortunately, their cultivation levels were high enough and their methods were clever enough. In addition, Qin Muling was suppressed by Senior Sister, so it was completely possible for them to see through her with the power of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. It would be quite embarrassing if that happened.
In the luxurious bath, Qin Muling leaned against the pool wall, silently practicing his cultivation technique to restore his vitality.
On the other side, Senior Sister looked radiant and full of energy, reaching an unprecedented peak in her aura. Through a secret method, she could sense the magnificent and abundant aura above her head, which had significantly improved in both quality and quantity.
"Should we have accumulated enough? When should we break through to the Origin Immortal Realm?" Qin Muling asked after a while, opening his eyes.
Xue Bingxuan looked at him with a look of infatuation and happiness, "It's enough, and the accumulation of mana is unprecedentedly abundant. We can break through the Transcending Tribulation and reach the Origin Immortal Realm at any time. It's all thanks to you, Junior Brother!"
As she spoke, her enchanting jade arm couldn't help but reach out and wrap around him.
Qin Muling was startled, "Don't mess around, we still have to go see Master later!"
Xue Bingxuan said softly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister is just helping you massage your shoulders, nothing else. Anyway, you have really worked hard this time."
Without Qin Muling's help, Senior Sister would have had to go through multiple closed-door cultivations to reach the Origin Immortal Realm from the Immortal Ascension stage. But now, she could achieve it in one step, saving a lot of effort.
After the Immortal Ascension stage, the difficulty of breaking through each major realm increased exponentially due to the profound power of the Divine Ability possessed by cultivators. Many talented cultivators, because they exhausted their luck and opportunities, remained stuck at a certain realm for their entire lives until they died of old age, unable to make any progress.
Moreover, every time a cultivator advanced to a higher realm, they had to undergo the test of Heavenly Tribulation, which became more terrifying and unbearable each time. If they couldn't bear it, their souls would scatter and they would die, without even the chance of reincarnation.
Due to the uncertainty of facing the Heavenly Tribulation, many cultivators would rather live a mediocre life until their lifespan was about to end before desperately attempting to break through, gambling on the slim chance of success.
However, for Xue Bingxuan, all these difficulties were no longer difficulties because her destined partner was Junior Brother.
Qin Muling felt slightly relieved and enjoyed Senior Sister's meticulous care. He sensed his own cultivation state and found that he had reached the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm, just one step away from the Perfected Being Realm.
After the Perfected Being Realm came the True Self Realm, followed by the Heart Demon Realm, Destiny Realm, and then the two realms of Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension.
After a while, the two finally finished dressing up and walked out of the palace gate hand in hand, looking splendid and radiant, heading to Supreme, the Sect Master's Cave Mansion for an audience.
Modified three times, so frustrated, there is nothing inappropriate in it!
