Chapter 346: Ji Qingluan: How can you be so shameless?
After discussing various matters, the following steps went smoothly.
Several hours later, on the Immortal Ascension Platform at the peak of Dao Seeking Peak, hundreds of elegantly dressed and beautiful Ji family female cultivators simultaneously released the seals on their mana, officially embarking on the tribulation of becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Above the high sky, dark clouds surged, blood-colored thunder flickered deep within the clouds, a chilling north wind swept through, and a large group of mysterious and eerie Heavenly Demons from the outer realms appeared, lurking like bloodthirsty sharks, observing their surroundings.
The temperature in the space instantly dropped below freezing point, turning the area around Dao Seeking Peak and the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles into a frigid world of ice and snow.
On the edge of the Immortal Ascension Platform, Qin Muling leaned back in his seat, enjoying the delicious food on the table in front of him with a contented expression. Sitting to his left was Ji Qingluan, dressed in thin and translucent clothes, exuding an elegant and charming aura. With her enchanting figure and delicate snow-white skin, she was pouring wine for him attentively.
To his right sat the incarnation of the evil thoughts of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, the cold and elegant ice queen in black armor and black dress. At this moment, a rare smile appeared on her rigid and beautiful face.
According to her, the original body of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the two incarnations were still in seclusion, digesting the abundant gains from their trip to the chaotic void. However, it would end in about two months.
Ji Chenxi and Ji Chenyue, the sisters, sat on the side, their pairs of starry eyes occasionally glancing at their aunt, their expressions complex and subtle.
Originally, the main marriage candidates agreed upon in the alliance between the Ji family and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were the two of them, perhaps with some accompanying female members of the clan. As the younger sister of the current clan leader and the youngest Quasi-Saint Emperor in the clan, Ji Qingluan was already a member of the core decision-making level of the Ji family, with a superior status and position, and did not need to sacrifice herself.
However, after seeing Qin Muling, Ji Qingluan's thoughts completely surprised the two sisters. She completely disregarded their differences in status and vowed to personally intervene, ignoring the discussions and rumors among the clan members.
What else could Ji Chenxi and her sister say? No matter what, they couldn't undermine their aunt's position in front of outsiders, so they could only silently cooperate.
Moreover, the pressure in Qin Muling's residence was too great. In the situation of being isolated and helpless, the three of them could only stick together and do their best to gain more favor from Qin Muling.
Watching the terrifying tribulation clouds slowly descending from the sky, enveloping the world in silence and darkness, Ji Qingluan's expression was slightly anxious, but also filled with visible anticipation and excitement. These hundreds of peak Golden Immortal female cultivators were the backbone of the clan, and it was impossible for her not to feel nervous.
Of course, considering the countless past successful examples, Ji Qingluan also understood that there would be no accidents this time. After the tribulation passed, the Ji family would gain hundreds of genuine Taiyi Golden Immortals, which meant that the clan would have a significant increase in high-end combat power.
Miao Xin Buddha and the group of heavenly maidens and bodhisattvas were also present to witness the event. A faint curiosity could be seen in their eyes. It was the first time they had seen Qin Muling protecting a large number of female cultivators during their tribulation.
These Golden Immortals from the Ji family were just the first batch, and it would be the turn of the female cultivators from the Buddhist sect to undergo their tribulation next.
When Miao Xin Buddha and Ji Qingluan came to discuss the alliance, in order to save time, there were a group of female cultivators accompanying the delegation. They were all candidates who needed healing or were going through tribulation, with tens of thousands of people from both sides, representing different levels of cultivation.
"...Junior Brother!" Ji Qingluan filled his wine cup again, smiling and saying, "Among these girls going through tribulation, some of them have good aptitude. If you are interested in anyone, you can let them stay and serve you! Even if it's just as a maid or servant, they definitely won't object."
Not letting go of even the slightest hope, this was Ji Qingluan's plan. Otherwise, if they missed today, these clan girls would probably never have a chance to see Qin Muling, let alone convince him to choose a few more.
Qin Muling smiled and said, "Are they all unmarried girls?"
"Of course... most of them are," Ji Qingluan hesitated, thinking that as long as it was someone Junior Brother liked, even if they already had someone, she could handle it for him.
For the sake of the Ji clan's overall situation, she believed that these clan girls would be willing to make sacrifices. And for them, this was definitely an opportunity that was hard to come by!
Qin Muling understood her thoughts. Fortunately, he didn't have a particular interest in married women, otherwise... he would really enjoy being a villain.
Damn... truly shameless and shameless!
Miao Xin cursed inwardly, thinking that Ji Qingluan would do anything to please Qin Muling, without any sense of bottom line.
But then again, if you can be so accommodating and flatter the junior disciples, why can't I? Our Buddhist lineage has far more outstanding candidates than your Ji family!
Miao Xin glanced at her trusted subordinates and silently instructed them with her divine sense. The two heavenly goddesses nodded discreetly and transformed into streaks of light, leaving.
There is no need to go into detail about the process of Transcending Tribulation. As the final wave of thunder tribulation came to an end, hundreds of newly minted Taiyi Golden Immortals' aura rose from the Immortal Ascension Platform.
From this day forward, they were guaranteed to be Taiyi Golden Immortals, with a status and position vastly different from before. Within the family, they would also gain greater power and resources.
Under Ji Qingluan's signal, these female clan members came forward and paid their respects to Qin Muling, greeting him with sweet and charming voices.
Qin Muling politely exchanged pleasantries, intending to send them back to consolidate their cultivation. However, with a single glance, he saw several exceptionally beautiful women. Not only were their figures and temperaments outstanding, but their luck, destiny, and hidden blessings were also remarkable, indicating a future of extraordinary achievements.
With their destiny, even without his help, they could probably overcome their tribulations and become Taiyi Golden Immortals, or even go further.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Muling decided to tell Ji Qingluan the truth, which immediately caught her attention. She immediately called them over one by one.
There were a total of four women, and from their hairstyles, it was clear that they were young girls and mature women who had not yet found their Dao companions.
"Greetings, Senior Qin!"
The four Ji family women bowed together, their voices gentle and beautiful.
Although based on their cultivation level, they should address Qin Muling as junior brother, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in a relationship that was not yet close.
Qin Muling exchanged a few words briefly and asked Ji Qingluan to arrange them. The remaining Ji family female cultivators who were not selected left with a gloomy expression.
Soon, led by the two heavenly goddesses, thousands of female Buddhist cultivators descended from the clouds. They included laywomen practicing with loose hair and female monks in monastic robes, all of them stunningly beautiful.
However, Qin Muling quickly sensed that something was amiss. The clothing of these female Buddhist cultivators was too revealing, almost transparent. With Qin Muling's divine sense, there was no difference between them being in front of him or being completely naked.
So, Qin Muling had a clear and intuitive understanding of their snow-white skin, slender jade legs, slim waist, and enchanting curves.
Although he repeatedly told himself that he didn't deliberately look at them, he couldn't deny that he had a detailed understanding of their physical features.
This time, even Ji Qingluan couldn't help but curse inwardly. Even the twin sisters looked somewhat unnatural. The female cultivators from the Buddhist lineage were even bolder and more daring in their style and behavior than the saintesses of the Clear Flower Divine Palace. Were they trying to seduce the junior disciple? It was truly despicable and shameless!
As a member of the Buddhist lineage, how could they disregard their integrity like this?
"Junior Brother, what do you think?" Miao Xin's voluptuous and graceful body leaned over, her breath fragrant, and she asked with a charming smile, "This is just the first batch. There are still several thousand more behind. You can take your time and choose however you want!"
Qin Muling was taken aback for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's not urgent to discuss this now. Let's finish crossing the tribulation first."
"Alright, that's fine," Miao Xin nodded, gesturing for the female cultivators to return to their positions and focus their minds, waiting for the tribulation to descend.
With Qin Muling's current cultivation level and past experience, everything that followed was a matter of course. After one batch of Transcending Tribulation was completed, the next batch followed, without wasting any time.
When the last group of female cultivators left the Immortal Ascension Platform, nearly two months had passed.
Next, it was time to heal and prolong the lives of the severely injured high-level elders. This was easier, as activating the time acceleration array would allow even Great Principal Golden Immortal-level experts to recover to their peak state in less than a day.
Among the female cultivators brought by Miao Xin, there was unexpectedly a Quasi-Saint Emperor from the Dragon Elephant Celestial Palace. Her Dharma name was Hui Chan Buddha Lord. Her injuries were not too severe, but her lifespan had been depleted to the point where she only had a few years left. No matter what kind of life-extending methods or elixirs were used, they were all ineffective.
Of course, for Qin Muling, this was just a simple task. After one day and one night, she would be fully restored.
Afterwards, this Hui Chan Buddha Lord naturally stayed in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's main hall and refused to leave. She said she wanted to meditate and enlighten herself by Qin Muling's side.
Miao Xin weighed the pros and cons and felt that the Buddhist sect also needed a Quasi-Saint Emperor to stay here permanently, as she herself would not be able to advance for the time being. So, she agreed to her request.
It took Qin Muling three months to completely handle this group of female cultivators.
When they happily set off on their journey back, there were already more female cultivators from the Buddhist sect and the Ji family eagerly setting off and currently on their way.
Of course, at this point, Qin Muling had no time to pay attention to them because her own cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and she could now begin to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
The gains from the previous journey through the Hongmeng Chaos Void were so abundant that there were still a large number of primordial essence crystals from the life essence of the chaotic ferocious creatures that had not been refined and absorbed into the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus. It was a perfect opportunity to completely refine them during this breakthrough.
According to the agreement, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao personally came to protect Qin Muling. This founder of the sect had already emerged from seclusion a month ago, successfully transforming the three corpses, and was now ready to attempt the Three Corpses Unified Harmony and break through to the legendary Supreme Primordial Saint realm.
Mu Yinghua, Jing Lan, Qing Huan, Tong Ying, Lan Hua, and other female emperors jointly sent 1.5 billion merits of heaven and earth. This was the harvest of the elders of the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance after exterminating the descendants of the Demon Race. It would further enhance Qin Muling's foundation and serve as the final safety measure during her Transcending Tribulation.
In the magnificent Good Fortune Heavenly Palace, Qin Muling slowly released the seal on her mana and began to communicate with the laws of the external world. Her cultivation as a Profound Immortal peak gradually improved until she crossed the invisible barrier and stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm.
During her time in the chaos void, Qin Muling had consumed her lifespan multiple times in exchange for temporary breakthroughs in her cultivation realm. Therefore, she was already familiar with the power of the Golden Immortal level.
The enormous Luck Hua Gai has now fully manifested, with seven layers above and below, rolling purple clouds gathering without dispersing. Beyond the various anomalies of heaven and earth, there is also a substantial golden light of merit enveloping it. In the deepest part of the Hua Gai, there is a faint and mysterious change occurring.
The Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore has now been entrusted to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao by Qin Muling. Together with the three major incarnations, they are jointly shielding the heavenly mechanism, reversing and confusing yin and yang causality, ensuring that no abnormal energy leaks out.
After a moment, as the terrifying heavenly tribulation gradually reaches its peak, thousands of blood-colored thunderbolts fall like a torrential rain without any gaps. Most of them are blocked by the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, the Mountain Protection Formation, and the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace. After further weakening by luck and the golden light of merit, the damage they cause to Qin Muling is less than one percent of their original power.
"I think, after Mu Ling's promotion, she should have the ability to create a true Quasi-Saint Emperor. For example, Yu Lingzhou, Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi, Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan... they should all have a chance, right?" Emperor Xin Yu thought for a moment and quietly said to Mu Yinghua with her divine sense.
"It is indeed very possible, but I'm worried that Mu Ling will be too exhausted. Even with Golden Immortal cultivation, she can't withstand their endless demands!" Mu Yinghua frowned. As Qin Muling's master, she naturally felt distressed for her own direct disciple and didn't want to see him being repeatedly exploited by those seductive women.
"There's no other way. According to Qing Huan's words, it seems that Dao Court is brewing a major operation, presumably targeting him. So our alliance needs to quickly create a new batch of Quasi-Saint Emperors to ensure his absolute safety!" Emperor Xin Yu said helplessly. Besides, she also wanted to make further progress and quickly sever her one-body incarnation, which relied on Qin Muling.
Mu Yinghua sighed and didn't say anything more. The ancestors of those female cultivators' sects were about to return, so Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace indeed needed more Quasi-Saint Emperors to suppress the situation.
The magnificent dome of the hall, with its splendid and mysterious starlight, poured down like a rushing river, absorbed by the enormous Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus's main body shadow, as if it were an unfathomable abyss.
In addition to the original twenty virtual shadows of Azure Lotus leaves, the twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third virtual shadows of Azure Lotus leaves are faintly visible, gradually becoming clear and solid as the essence of star power and the continuous influx of heavenly merit.
Thirty-three Azure Lotus leaves, thirty-three heavens, now there are already twenty-three Azure Lotus leaves that have successfully evolved.
Bits and pieces of profound information surged from the depths of the void, merging into Qin Muling's soul, allowing him to understand the abilities corresponding to the newly evolved three Azure Lotus leaves.
The three Azure Lotus leaves that evolved in the chaotic void correspond to three innate divine abilities: Heavenly Calculation, Luck Dissipation, and Luck Plunder.
This time, the new innate divine ability is called "Primal Origin Void Barrier," involving the profound and unfathomable spatial laws. It is a defensive ability that can ignore any attacks from ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors and Innate Spiritual Treasures below the initial grade, including witchcraft curses, evil curses, and fate-related methods.
The second innate divine ability is called "Nine Revolutions Yin-Yang Life and Death Reincarnation Technique." It allows Qin Muling to leave a soul source in a hidden area in advance, which remains in a deep dormant seal state. When his main body is subjected to a fatal attack, he can instantly resurrect in his peak state using this soul source, with a maximum of nine times.
With such heaven-defying methods, unless Qin Muling's enemies can instantly annihilate all his soul sources and extinguish all his vitality, they will never be able to kill him completely.
The third innate divine ability is called "Cosmic Light Karma Reversal." It can trace back the river of time and find the existence of a specific enemy at a certain point in the past, targeting their weaknesses for extermination.
The manifested Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus's phantom image becomes more solid, with a bright and thick clear radiance reaching several zhang. The countless profound and obscure Dao patterns on its surface are extremely clear, like an ancient divine dragon. The powerful Dao Rhyme flows and permeates the hall, benefiting even Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her three incarnations beside it.
Above the Azure Lotus, brilliant and magnificent rays of light cascade down like a waterfall, enveloped in boundless purple auspicious qi. The rich, profound, and mysterious Dao inspiration emerges from within and spreads outward. The scattered chaotic crystal radiance twinkles like a meteor shower, dancing and swirling around the Azure Lotus.
"So many of them? This is a rare opportunity, let's absorb some too!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao exclaimed excitedly, as she lightly waved her jade hand, and a large amount of chaotic crystal radiance was gathered and assimilated into her body.
"Will it have any negative effects on Junior Brother?" the stunning beauty hesitated.
"No, look, hasn't the Dao Rhyme inspiration evolved even more?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said. Indeed, as the purple clouds in the sky churned, more chaotic crystal radiance and fragments of Dao Rhyme poured down, almost submerging the four women.
"Okay, then we'll benefit from Junior Brother's expertise!"
The three major incarnations no longer hesitated and eagerly began to absorb.
At this moment, Qin Muling's full attention was still immersed in the depths of his soul. With the stability of his cultivation realm, the space within his body began to expand rapidly. It expanded more than ten times from the original four million li, now exceeding forty-five million li in circumference. The internal system of the Great Dao laws further improved and became closer to the external environment of the world.
In addition, many innate Divine Abilities such as "Concealed Shadow, Traceless Escape," "Nearby yet distant," "Aeon Sundial," "Insight into the Profound," "Void Teleportation," and "Luck Perception" all received corresponding enhancements. Especially the ability to temporarily enhance the cultivation realm, each time it is used, it burns one yuanhui, equivalent to 129,600 years of lifespan, and temporarily gains the strength of the initial stage of the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, lasting for half an hour.
Perhaps due to the abundant accumulation in the chaotic void and the assistance of massive heavenly merits, Qin Muling's cultivation continued to rise even after surpassing the level of Golden Immortal Initial Grade, gradually coming to a halt only when reaching the peak of Golden Immortal Sixth Grade.
The normal lifespan limit of a Golden Immortal is usually around three hundred yuanhui. However, based on Qin Muling's current foundation and talent, a rough estimation of his lifespan length is five thousand yuanhui. Moreover, he can rely on resources such as Heavenly Medicine and Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill to extend his life.
Furthermore, the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment at the Golden Immortal level has an effect that is about ten times stronger than when at the Profound Immortal realm. It has a significant effect on Mu Yinghua, the master, and Emperor Xin Yu at this level. In the future, when practicing with the senior sisters, it is estimated that it won't take them too long to reach the Great Principal Golden Immortal realm.
More importantly, after becoming a Golden Immortal, both the physical body and the soul experienced another round of transformation and improvement, similar to being reborn. The endurance and recovery abilities were further strengthened, ensuring that Qin Muling's combat power in the bedroom reached a higher level. Not only could he ignore opponents at the Great Principal Golden Immortal level, but he could also ensure that he wouldn't fall behind when facing Feng Ge, Tong Ying, Ji Qingluan, and Mu Yinghua, who were at the level of the initial stage of the Emperor.
"After this outing, Junior Brother, you should work harder and prioritize helping Yu Lingzhou and the others to break through, okay?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with a smile.
Qin Muling nodded, "How about giving the newly obtained lotus seed to Senior Sister Yu? That way, she will definitely be able to break through. As for the others... I can only do my best."
"Okay, that's a good arrangement," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded in agreement. As for the female cultivators from other sects, they didn't need to be considered for the time being. The best resources should naturally be given priority to their own senior sisters.
