Chapter 323: Emperor Tong Ying: Even if... it's possible!
After a few days.
The news of Emperor Feng Ge's breakthrough and successful advancement to the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm immediately spread among the core elders of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, causing a great stir among the higher-ups as expected.
In the communication jade talisman of the sect, the elders discussed eagerly:
"Immortal Lord Yun Miao: ...So, should we consider this as the credit of our junior brother?"
"Immortal Lord Huan Die: Obviously, yes. Although Qing Yao Ancestor's help to her was limited, the main contribution should be attributed to our junior brother!"
"Immortal Lord Bai Quan: If that's the case, doesn't it prove that our junior brother has the ability to help everyone break through to the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm? This is too incredible!"
"Immortal Lord Feng Hua: Don't forget his true identity. No matter how unbelievable miracles happen to him, I think it's only natural. Sisters, let's get used to it."
There was a sudden silence in the jade talisman, and the elders were all trying to digest this astonishing news.
If their judgment was correct, Emperor Feng Ge had achieved his breakthrough by continuously cultivating with Qin Muling and using his Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme. Doesn't this prove that any other peak Great Principal Golden Immortal, as long as they are willing to let go of their pride and become Dao companions with our junior brother, can also obtain such incredible benefits?
Even if there is no one hundred percent certainty, it is enough to make all the elders excited and determined to give it a try. Compared to the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit, dedicating oneself to our junior brother is not a big deal at all.
"Mu Yinghua: Everyone, don't think too much. Emperor Feng Ge's breakthrough this time was mainly due to the guidance of Qing Yao Ancestor. Mu Ling did help her, but it wasn't the main factor. Besides, this kind of thing depends on specific circumstances. It's impossible for everyone to have such good luck..."
"Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi: Do you believe in what you're saying, Sect Master? Are you afraid that we will burden our junior brother? So you're trying to find ways to exonerate him?"
"Emperor Xin Yu: It's not about exonerating, it's the truth. Only peak Great Principal Golden Immortals have a slight chance of success, and many of you are not even Great Principal Golden Immortals yet, right? Why think so far ahead? The right thing to do is to strive to improve our cultivation!"
"..."
The high-level elders were speechless. Emperor Xin Yu's words seemed fair, but if they wanted to quickly improve their cultivation, wouldn't they have to rely on Qin Muling? Following the usual path of cultivation would take a long time to reach the threshold of peak Great Principal Golden Immortal.
Even if Qin Muling couldn't help them break through to the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm now, it would still be a good result to break through to the peak Great Principal Golden Immortal and reach the peak Great Principle realm as soon as possible.
This is an undeniable fact. Just look at the speed at which his recognized Dao companions around him have improved their cultivation.
"Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan: Your meaning, Emperor, we understand. However... since our junior brother's cultivation is gradually increasing, shouldn't we let him marry a few more?"
"Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi: That's right. For the sake of the sect's future, our junior brother indeed has a responsibility. Having more peak Great Principal Golden Immortals to oversee the sect will be beneficial!"
"Mu Yinghua: So what?"
In the Cave Mansion, Mu Yinghua sneered as she looked at the communication jade talisman in her hand. Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi, your plan is really loud and clear. I heard it clearly even on Imperial Dao Peak! You just want to get your hands on Qin Muling, don't you?
Of course, it's not just her. Those high-level elders who know about Qin Muling, one after another, are all thinking about the same thing.
"Yu Lingzhou: I don't think we should force this matter. Let the junior brother make his own decision! If any of you have ideas, go talk to him yourselves. Don't expect the sect leader and the ancestor to speak for you."
"With Qin Muling's current special status, no one in the sect can force him if he doesn't like it."
"Immortal Lord Yun Miao: Alright, I'll prepare a gift and talk to the junior brother."
"Emperor Xin Yu: It's fine to talk to him, but remember to keep it confidential for Mu Ling's safety, especially around the people close to him."
"Immortal Lord Bai Quan: Yes, we understand."
Emperor Xin Yu in the dojo looked at the communication jade talisman and sighed softly.
He knew that this matter would have risks of getting out of control. Fortunately, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had already blocked the news in advance, limiting the knowledge to the core elders. Otherwise, if too many people knew about it, it wouldn't take long for the news to spread throughout the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky.
At that time, Qin Muling, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance would be pushed to the forefront.
Fortunately, with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao presiding, there would be other strong cultivators returning to the upper realm in the future, ensuring Qin Muling's safety would not be a problem.
At the same time, in Emperor Qing Huan's dojo, several empresses received the news not long after.
This was not surprising, as there would always be some inexplicable resonance of the great Dao laws between Quasi-Saint Emperors. No matter who advanced, who was seriously injured but not yet recovered, or who had fallen, they would sense it within a close distance.
Therefore, Emperor Feng Ge's breakthrough couldn't escape their attention, and certain thoughts naturally arose.
"...We must do something!"
Emperor Lan Hua furrowed her eyebrows, expressing some concern.
Emperor Jing Lan agreed deeply, "Definitely, otherwise, from now on, the number of Quasi-Saint Emperors in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will only increase. This is not good news for us or the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance."
The consequence of the imbalance of high-end strategic power was that the influence of these female cultivators' sects became smaller and smaller, gradually losing their independence and ultimately becoming vassals of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. This was obviously not the situation they wanted to see.
"Then... we can only find a way through Mu Ling and have him help us cultivate several Quasi-Saint Emperors."
Emperor Tong Ying said. This matter started because of him, so who else could they turn to if not him?
However, before this, she had never thought that Qin Muling could even cultivate Quasi-Saint Emperors. Although it was mainly because Emperor Feng Ge had sufficient accumulation and only lacked a special opportunity, it was enough to show his extraordinary talent.
"But, they won't easily agree, right?"
Emperor Qing Huan said softly, "Such great benefits, they haven't even enjoyed them enough themselves. How could they share them with us?"
It wouldn't be easy to persuade the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace to agree. Without offering sufficient benefits in return, they shouldn't expect them to agree.
Especially now that the founding ancestor, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, had returned, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's high-end combat power had greatly increased, and their confidence in speaking was full. Even the combined strength of these several sects couldn't compare.
Unless... the ancestors of their respective sects who had already ascended to the upper realm also returned, only then could the gap in their strength be leveled.
Emperor Lan Hua said, "I actually think that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's attitude is not as important as imagined. The key lies in Qin Muling's own thoughts. As long as he falls in love with someone and wants to take her as his Dao companion, those few people can't say anything anymore."
In the future, how many Dao companions Qin Muling will have and who can be his Dao companion, it can only be counted if he says so himself. Even his master and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao cannot force him to accept.
Emperor Jing Lan's eyes brightened as she said, "So, all we need to do is find a way to please Qin Muling? If the recommended candidates are to his liking, then the matter is mostly settled!"
"Yes, that's right!"
Emperor Qing Huan affirmed. As the transformed body of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, he still had the temperament of a young admirer. There were countless beautiful female cultivators in his sect, and as long as they were carefully selected, there would always be types that he liked.
Hmm, I should also ask my daughter, Princess Long Yi, to help persuade him. No matter what, we must make sure to secure a few more spots for ourselves. This is the only way to ensure the advantageous position of the Qing Huan lineage in the Dao Court.
Emperor Tong Ying said with a smile, "Then I will go prepare! Let Qing Chan invite him to a banquet and arrange a few suitable candidates to accompany him. If he takes a liking to them, he can take them away directly. Even if... it's also possible."
Emperor Lan Hua blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Wouldn't that be too unreserved? Men seem to prefer those who pretend to be aloof and carry themselves with grace, don't they? It's really..."
Emperor Jing Lan sighed, "We would like to be like that, but the other seductive women won't be! Take the elders of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, for example. They would do everything they can to please him."
"That's true. Anyway, as long as we can achieve our goals, it doesn't matter what method we use."
Emperor Qing Huan concluded, "Sisters, let's prepare. This action is related to the future and fate of our families. We must not take it lightly!"
...
After bidding farewell to Emperor Feng Ge, Qin Muling returned to the dojo in Yu Lingzhou to have a meal.
When she was full, she changed clothes with the help of her senior sisters and went to Dao Seeking Peak to assist the elders in transcending their tribulations. They had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time.
The tribulation of the Great Principle was not to be taken lightly. It was not only dangerous and unpredictable, but also lasted for seven days and seven nights. The female cultivators who could rely on their own abilities to withstand it until the end were all renowned and blessed individuals.
Of course, compared to the few successful cases, the majority of Taiyi Golden Immortals trembled under the terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation. If they didn't want their lifelong cultivation to be in vain, they could only suppress their cultivation and live a mediocre life until their lifespan was exhausted, and then take a desperate gamble to fight for survival.
Therefore, even for Supreme-level sects, the number of Great Principal Golden Immortals in the sect would not be too many, at most a few hundred. Many sects couldn't even reach this scale.
This referred to the Great Principal Golden Immortals whose strength was at its peak, excluding those who were severely injured and sleeping in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm.
For example, when Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace declined, there were only about thirty Great Principal Golden Immortals who could fight in the sect. At its most difficult time, there were even just over twenty. They were always at a disadvantage when facing provocations from the hostile forces around them and had to swallow their pride.
Of course, after Qin Muling stepped into the Destiny Realm, the elders who were severely injured and sleeping in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm all recovered. As a result, the sect suddenly gained more than six hundred Great Principal Golden Immortals, almost reaching the scale of the Great Principle-level powerhouses in the Dao Court.
Now, with the support of Qin Muling, if all the thousands of peak Taiyi Golden Immortals in the sect could successfully transcend their tribulations, the high-level combat power of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would undoubtedly take a step forward.
After all, it was not possible for Quasi-Saint Emperors to personally intervene in everything. Generally speaking, the highest combat power that Supreme-level sects would deploy in normal times was the Great Principal Golden Immortals, which was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.
If it was necessary for a Quasi-Saint Emperor to take action, it basically meant the start of a full-scale war.
In the following months, thunder roared and darkness covered Dao Seeking Peak. Wave after wave of terrifying tribulation thunder seemed to never end, almost flattening this towering peak that had stood for millions of years!
Due to the fact that each batch has 150 peak Taiyi Golden Immortal Transcending Tribulation, the protective array on the Immortal Ascension Platform cannot withstand it at all. After one heavenly tribulation, it is damaged by more than half, so Emperor Xin Yu and Mu Yinghua have to personally repair it before letting the next batch of female immortals Transcend Tribulation.
The destructive power of the heavenly tribulation is too terrifying. After one batch, Qin Muling's luck will be depleted by about three percent. Of course, with his current cultivation, it is easy for him to recover and return to his peak state in a few hours.
After the female immortals of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace finish Transcending Tribulation, it will be the turn of the other four families. They have more people, totaling more than 7,000. Of course, for Qin Muling, it is just a routine operation.
"... Sect Master, when you have time in the future, I want to take Mu Ling to the Upper Realm. What do you think?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said to Mu Yinghua on the lotus platform in mid-air.
"What do you want to do?" Mu Yinghua's expression immediately became wary. The Upper Realm is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with countless powerful beings. If Qin Muling goes there, who knows what will happen?
If his identity is exposed and he is targeted by a super power, even Immortal Venerable Qing Yao may not be able to protect him.
"Don't worry, I just want him to help the disciples of the sect Transcend Tribulation," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao explained. "As you know, the Upper Realm has abundant spiritual energy and a superior environment for cultivation. The system of the Great Dao is more grand and perfect. Therefore, the difficulty of Transcending Tribulation is also more exaggerated. If Mu Ling can help, the sect will soon produce a large number of high-level female immortals, greatly increasing our strength and better preparing for future calamities."
The number of female cultivators in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the Upper Realm exceeds 10 billion, and there are countless female cultivators at different cultivation levels. Just the scale of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals alone is in the hundreds of thousands. If they can all safely overcome the tribulation, it would be a magnificent scene.
"Well..." Mu Yinghua pondered for a moment and shook his head. "It's not possible for now, right? The risk is too great, and we can't afford the consequences of any accidents."
There must be undercover agents from other forces among the disciples and followers of the sect in the Upper Realm, and there are definitely a considerable number of them. It is impossible to strictly maintain secrecy. Once Qin Muling goes to the Upper Realm, it is inevitable that they will notice him.
When the news leaks out, if certain super powers' important figures personally come to demand Qin Muling, what can the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace do besides compromise?
Even if they really need Qin Muling's help, they should at least wait until he becomes a Great Principal Golden Immortal, preferably a Quasi-Saint Emperor, before implementing such a plan.
After all, by that time, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao will definitely have perfected her three corpse incarnations, or even achieved the complete Unified Harmony of the three corpses. There will also be enough Quasi-Saint Emperors in the sect to ensure Qin Muling's safety.
"Well, your idea is not unreasonable, so let's leave it at that!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded slightly, agreeing with Mu Yinghua's viewpoint.
Mu Yinghua remained silent for a moment and continued, "Those families have been persuading me recently, hoping that I can persuade Mu Ling to marry a few female immortals from their families. How do you think we should handle this?"
Although he doesn't agree with it in his heart, the several families are currently close allies. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace owes them a lot of favors during difficult times, so they cannot afford to have a falling out.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said, "It is impossible to completely refuse. You can consider giving them a few spots, but of course, not too many. Anything must prioritize the female immortals of our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."
Mu Yinghua agreed, "What the Ancestor said is right. Let's handle it this way."
