Chapter 361: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: There will be opportunities!
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's expectations were already clear to Qin Muling.
However, the idea of "not making choices" sounds nice, but it is currently impossible to achieve. Otherwise, Qin Muling would not have to do anything else and would be constantly entangled by those female immortals, unable to escape. His Golden Immortal cultivation would be completely drained, not a drop left.
After a low argument with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, she finally made a concession. Ninety percent of the female immortals were eliminated, leaving only a small number of outstanding ones to stay by Qin Muling's side. And they would only serve as maidservants, whether they had the opportunity to become Dao companions would depend on their future performance.
The same arrangement was made when selecting guards from the female immortals who were healing from Transcending Tribulation.
With Qin Muling's current influential status, not everyone had the opportunity to stay by his side. Even the Quasi-Saint Emperors had to line up, let alone others.
"Alright, next time, I will bring another group for you to choose from," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao did not feel regretful either. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had billions of female cultivators in the Upper Realm, and there would surely be many candidates that would satisfy Qin Muling. She was not afraid of not being able to capture his heart.
After the selection of the concubines was completed, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao brought Qin Muling to the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master Supreme to discuss the next plan for the sect.
The overall strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was becoming stronger, that was a fact. However, it was also a fact that it was increasingly being watched and feared by various external forces. Many forces were secretly plotting, trying to cause trouble and test the strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, to see how powerful this female cultivation force really was.
But without enough certainty to retreat unscathed, no one dared to act rashly. Otherwise, if they truly angered Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, their own sects would be destroyed right before their eyes, and no one could save them.
"...Ten days later, I will return to the Upper Realm again," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao instructed. "I estimate that there will be around a hundred thousand people coming with me. Sect Master, be prepared accordingly."
"Yes, Ancestor," Mu Yinghua agreed and thought for a moment before saying, "For the sake of secrecy, I think... should we let those senior sisters and junior sisters who have already come stay here? Don't let them return to the Upper Realm temporarily?"
Although these female immortals had been screened through the Heart Tribulation Dao Interrogating Lotus and their loyalty was not a problem, accidents were always feared.
After all, they had personally seen Qin Muling. If they were accidentally captured by powerful hostile forces on the battlefield and subjected to soul-searching methods, it was possible that the secret of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus would be exposed.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered for a moment and nodded. "The possibility of such a situation occurring is small, but we cannot be unprepared. Then, as you said, let's not let them return to the Upper Realm for now!"
"Alright, this time you can bring back more Heavenly Medicine resources! They can also heal many senior sisters and junior sisters in the Upper Realm, without affecting the increase in strength of the Upper Realm sects," Mu Yinghua suggested.
"Yes, that's settled," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had no objections. As long as there were enough Heavenly Medicine and Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine, they could still treat those severely injured female immortals who couldn't leave their homes. At the very least, it could significantly alleviate their injuries and allow them to recover to the point where they could take action.
The female immortals who recovered in the Upper Realm would stay in the Upper Realm, and those who descended to the Extreme Void Starry Sky would stay there. The two sides would temporarily not interfere with each other, thus minimizing the risk of leaks.
As long as such actions are repeated several times, the Quasi-Saint Emperors who are severely injured and in a deep sleep in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace of the Upper Realm, as well as the powerful beings at the level of Great Principle and Taiyi Golden Immortal, will all recover as before. And those disciples and elders who need to transcend tribulation will also have their wishes fulfilled. Ultimately, this will lead to the sect having a lineup of high-end combat power far surpassing other forces of the same level, and it will be on par with those Transcendent Level forces.
"Ancestor is wise," Mu Yinghua replied, thinking for a moment before saying, "There has been no movement from Dao Court for a long time. I'm afraid that if they don't act, there will be a big disturbance once they do. What do you think?"
Those two from Dao Court have always been untrustworthy. In addition to forming alliances with surviving forces of the same lineage in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, they have been constantly communicating with the high-level members of Dao Court in the Upper Realm, trying to bring back more Quasi-Saint Emperors to sit in.
Of course, these actions are destined to be in vain without the advantage of top strategic military power. It's just that they themselves are unaware of this.
"It doesn't matter, actually," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, "When I return to the Upper Realm this time, I will cause some trouble in Dao Court's territory. This will keep them busy and prevent them from diverting too much power to the Extreme Void Starry Sky. This matter will naturally be resolved."
The security situation in Dao Court in the Upper Realm is already not optimistic. If Immortal Venerable Qing Yao stirs up trouble there again, they probably won't have much energy left to deal with the troubles in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"That's good," Mu Yinghua breathed a sigh of relief. With Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's three incarnations sitting in the main hall of the sect and Qin Muling suppressing the fate of the sect, no force would dare to come and cause trouble easily. If they did come, they would only be beaten back by them.
"By the way, is there any news from Genesis Star Palace?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao asked again.
"At present, we don't know," Mu Yinghua frowned. "Our manpower can't get close to their sphere of influence. Perhaps you will have to investigate on the Upper Realm side in the future. It's been so long, they should have received new reinforcements. They might come looking for us at the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."
Emperor Bing Chan will definitely not accept her failure from last time. Once she receives more support from the Upper Realm, she will definitely continue to cause trouble.
Therefore, the high-level members of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace must be prepared in advance and not give them any opportunities.
At this point, the high-level forces of the Transcendent Level in the Upper Realm are all intensifying their layout and preparing for the unification of the two realms. The situation in the Extreme Void Starry Sky will probably become even more complex than it is now.
As for the descendants of the Demon Race, despite suffering repeated blows and losing countless members and legions, they are still active as ever, with more high-level experts and elite legions emerging continuously. They continue to besiege the territories of various Daoist forces.
Speaking of which, only the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, which has greatly increased in strength, and the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, do not feel much pressure. As for other forces, if it weren't for the return of the ancestors from the Upper Realm one after another, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Should we go to the strongholds of those anomalies one day and see if we can gain a lot of heavenly merits?" Qin Muling couldn't help but ask. Killing these descendants of the Demon Race can earn a lot of heavenly merits. If she can use the power of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao to kill enough Demon Race Emperors, she might be able to advance to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal ahead of time.
"Well... there will be a chance," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded lightly. The descendants of the Demon Race keep coming back, and the reason is obvious: besides the countless nests and strongholds in the dark Immortal Domain of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, they must also have special spatial channels connecting their homeland with the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
So, in the mysterious and unpredictable depths of the Demon Realm, there may be strong beings who can be compared to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao? Even more terrifying existences may not be absent!
If in the near future, these terrifying guys also emerge one after another, Extreme Void Starry Sky will become even more lively!
"Master, do you think Dao Court and Genesis Star Palace might be connected in the future?" Mu Yinghua asked with some concern. "The person from Genesis Star Palace is unlikely to come back for now, but if a group of senior Quasi-Saint Emperors come back and join forces with Dao Court, we will be under a lot of pressure..."
"It's okay, they can't possibly join forces!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao shook her head. Qin Muling is only one person, but both of those factions want him and neither will give up, so it's impossible to reconcile this matter.
On the other hand, that damn Palace of Calamitous Fate is likely to collude with Dao Court and continue to cause trouble for Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. So, before returning to the Upper Realm, should we give them a taste of their own medicine?
After talking for a while, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao finally left with Qin Muling and returned to the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, where there was a Cave Mansion arranged for her.
Next is the time for cultivation. Although she can't immediately cultivate with Qin Muling, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao still needs his Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme to quickly improve her cultivation. She also needs to retain a portion to bring back and heal those severely injured Quasi-Saint Emperors.
In the luxurious and quiet sleeping chamber, the three major incarnations appeared, surrounding Qin Muling together with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. The following intimate scenes are not for outsiders to know.
"Sister, how far are you from the Three Corpse Unity realm?" Qin Muling asked in his spare time.
"It's still far away... I estimate that you will have to become a Great Principle realm before it's possible..." Immortal Venerable Qing Yao blushed and gasped for breath.
There are so many top experts in the Upper Realm who have been stuck at this realm for countless years. No matter how hard they try or what methods they use, they can't make any progress. They even began to doubt whether they had taken the wrong path and lost their balance of Dao.
That's why Immortal Venerable Qing Yao feels so lucky. The despair of being stuck in a cultivation realm, unable to move forward even a bit, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years passing by, is truly indescribable. With the help of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, her cultivation is constantly advancing.
Of course, even if her progress is fast, it is still not something that can be achieved overnight to complete the path that other experts have struggled through countless years. Moreover, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao has not yet cultivated with Qin Muling, so this aspect is even more urgent.
"...When the day comes that you become a Quasi-Saint Emperor," the stunning beauty who was massaging his legs raised her head, her jade-like hand stroking her silky green hair by her ear, and said seductively, "the essence of the Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme will become even more miraculous. Perhaps it can help Sister achieve her wish sooner, right?"
"That day will come!" Qin Muling broke free from the suppression of the cold and glamorous lady Snow, and said in his spare time.
With Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's current status, Qin Muling would have to at least reach the level of a Great Principal Golden Immortal before he can truly cultivate with her. If he reaches the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm, the effect will be even more ideal. For now, they can only play around the edges.
So Immortal Venerable Qing Yao is looking forward to it. When the time comes and she achieves her wish, as long as she closes herself off with Qin Muling for ten or eight years, with the help of the time acceleration array, will she truly reach the realm of becoming a saint? Take the crucial step towards eternal transcendence?
...
Supreme Profound Clear Micro Heaven.
This is a unique space-time of heaven and earth, with a vast expanse of purple clouds stretching billions of miles above the dark sky. Auspicious light shines upon the vast and boundless land, occasionally there are small golden purple lotus flowers floating down from the sky, accompanied by faint celestial music lingering in the depths of the soul.
This world has an independent and complete system of Dao laws, usually distinct from the upper realm, but can be temporarily integrated when necessary.
At this moment, in the core area of heaven and earth, where the great Dao luck gathers and the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth is located, in front of a seemingly ordinary and ancient Taoist temple, tens of thousands of female immortals are lined up neatly, bowing deeply towards the Taoist temple.
This is the place where the owner of the Genesis Star Palace is in deep meditation and cultivation.
"... Bing Chan encountered some trouble in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Since the battle here has come to an end, you should go back and help her!" A vast and distant voice with a hint of grandeur and vagueness came from deep inside the Taoist temple.
"Yes, Master!"
The leading female immortals responded respectfully. Their aura was majestic and unfathomable, not inferior to the former Immortal Venerable Qing Yao.
After a pause, a female immortal in a bright yellow dress, with a graceful and dignified appearance, asked cautiously, "Master, although a ceasefire agreement has been reached, the legions of the Monster Emperor's kingdom have not shown any signs of withdrawal. I'm worried... they might go back on their word and betray the promise!"
"So, disciple thinks, should we wait a little longer and see how the situation develops?" she continued.
Because of certain reasons that cannot be mentioned, the war between the Genesis Star Palace and the Monster Emperor's kingdom has been going on for too long. Both sides are now somewhat exhausted, which is why a ceasefire agreement has been proposed.
"It doesn't matter. Unified Harmony between the two realms is imminent. As long as the Monster Emperor doesn't want to help outsiders, she won't think about causing unnecessary trouble! Besides, her injuries cannot be delayed any longer. If she continues to push herself, the consequences will be more than just defeat!" The voice in the Taoist temple spoke calmly.
Top experts have similar judgments on the situation. They know when to do what, and there are rarely strategic mistakes.
"Disciples will follow your orders!"
The female immortals no longer insisted on their own opinions and bowed again before slowly retreating.
It was not until they completely left the coverage of the Taoist temple's laws that the expressions of the women relaxed.
"Bing Huang Senior Sister, shall we set off now?" someone asked.
"Of course, since Master has given the order, how can we delay?" Bing Huang, the female immortal in the bright yellow dress, replied.
Another female immortal, with a frowning expression, said, "Bing Chan Senior Sister is in a difficult situation in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Who could have imagined that our sacred place would be ruined by those second and third-rate forces? Even Junior Brother's whereabouts are unknown. It's simply... unforgivable!"
"Ah! Bing Chan Senior Sister already had old injuries, and Master meant for her to go to the Extreme Void Starry Sky to help Junior Brother recover as soon as possible. Who could have expected... If we had known earlier, I should have led the team there," another female immortal in a bright red palace dress sighed softly.
"It's okay, it's not too late to go now. I heard she already has information about Junior Brother's whereabouts? After going there this time, we must find him back as soon as possible!" Bing Huang said.
