Chapter 165: Invitation
Accompanied by a clear and long phoenix song, a sharp sword light soared into the sky.
Saint Miao Yue's visit this time was meant to provoke trouble, so she was mentally prepared for the Xue Bingxuan sisters' confrontation. Just as the sword light was about to be unleashed, a jade pendant hanging from her waist suddenly emitted a clear sound, and numerous flower-shaped illusions the size of a bowl appeared lightly, forming a solid light curtain that blocked the sword energy.
However, she clearly underestimated Qi Yalan's strength. This sword was Qi Yalan's full-powered attack, and the protective light curtain only lasted less than a breath's time before being cut open and torn apart. The remaining sword energy continued to slash towards Saint Miao Yue.
Saint Miao Yue's expression changed slightly, and a jade ring on her fair wrist flew out rapidly, turning into a large pink light that blocked the sword energy. She quickly retreated and was already ten miles away in an instant.
"Hehe, the senior sisters of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace are quite angry!"
A sweet and charming voice sounded, and three equally graceful and charming figures appeared beside Saint Miao Yue. Ribbons fluttered, and pink light rain danced in the air, jointly blocking Qi Yalan's attack.
Qin Muling glanced over and found that they were the three saintesses who were brought by Jade Ribbon Immortal Venerable to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace last time and had a dispute with Xue Bingxuan. They had suffered a great loss back then, but now it seemed that their injuries had all healed.
The four saintesses of Huaqing Divine Palace gathered together, instantly gaining more confidence. However, after seeing the cultivation levels of the women on the opposite side, their momentum stagnated.
Xue Bingxuan's tone was indifferent. "There are only four of you, but we have five. If we really fight to the death, you are no match for us. Are you sure you want to go all out?"
Luo Wanqing sneered, "Anyway, Huaqing Divine Palace has plenty of saintesses. Having a few more of you doesn't matter, and having a few less of you doesn't matter either. It's no big deal even if you all die."
...
Saint Miao Yue's expression changed slightly. The five on the opposite side were all in the Origin Immortal Realm, while she and her three junior sisters were only at the peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm. She had just broken through to the Origin Immortal Realm herself, and her cultivation was not yet stable. Compared to Xue Bingxuan, who was at the mid-stage of the Origin Immortal Realm, she was indeed lacking.
If they continued to be tough, they would definitely suffer a loss today, and they would have nowhere to reason afterwards.
However, the current round of the sect's grand gathering had not yet begun. If they surrendered in front of everyone's eyes, it would undoubtedly cause Huaqing Divine Palace to lose face. It would be difficult for them to speak up in front of the various sects for a while.
In different areas near and far, countless cultivators' divine senses gathered, and various divination spells of the observing kind were cast. Hundreds of sects and forces were all eagerly paying attention to the situation here.
Just as they were in a dilemma, dozens of golden streaks of light swiftly approached from a distance, turning into a group of dignified male and female cultivators when they got closer.
"Everyone, this is a crucial place in the sect. The Emperor once issued a strict order that no one from any sect is allowed to engage in private conflicts here. Those who dare to violate this order will not be easily forgiven!"
The leader, a red-robed immortal, reprimanded coldly. His aura was cold and fierce, a true cultivator at the True Immortal level. The followers and guards around him had cultivations ranging from the Immortal Transformation Realm to the Origin Immortal Realm, making for a powerful lineup.
Finally, a high-ranking elder from Huaqing Divine Palace appeared and spoke in a gentle tone, "It's just a dispute between the younger generation, nothing important. Please forgive us for the embarrassment in front of the sect."
The figure of Heavenly Lord Yueyi appeared on the floating ship and said indifferently, "There has never been any relationship between our two factions. You bunch of troublemakers had better stay away from us in the future. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that something bad won't happen."
"Hmph, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, you've been quite popular recently. There's no need to argue with you. Let's wait and see. I hope the performance of your juniors at the grand gathering won't disappoint."
The elder, who was stunningly beautiful, glanced at Yueyi Tianjun, then rolled up her sleeves and left with four holy maidens.
Under the deterrence of the power of the Dao Court, even the most unruly and lawless forces dare not act recklessly.
The turmoil came to an end like this, and many cultivators who were spectating let out disappointed sighs, discussing and continuing their journey.
The following journey was calm and peaceful, with no more insolent forces coming to provoke them. The Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat team arrived safely at the Dao Court Heavenly Palace deep in the Milo Immortal Realm three days later.
In the void, boundless purple clouds held up magnificent palaces. The radiance was dazzling, and auspicious energy filled the air. The palaces and pavilions stretched as far as the eye could see, and golden light enveloped the vast sky. In Qin Muling's spiritual perception, the extremely rich purple qi of heaven and earth continuously gathered from the depths of the void.
"It is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being recognized as the number one immortal sacred land in the Extreme Void Starry Sky!"
Qin Muling sighed slightly. The richness of the spiritual essence and the Dao rhyme here were obviously stronger than in other supreme sects. If cultivators lived and cultivated here all year round, not only would they have a higher efficiency in absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, but they would also find it easier to break through their realms.
This was thanks to the continuous and unremitting transformation of the surrounding environment by the higher-ups of the Dao Court. There were giant land masses everywhere in the void, and the surface of these land masses had almost no traces of dead zones. Everywhere was filled with abundant spiritual energy and beautiful Grotto-Heaven blessed lands.
It was no wonder that more and more independent cultivators, as well as grassroots geniuses who were dissatisfied with major sects, were willing to join the Dao Court. Because only here did they not ask about one's background. As long as their innate talent and aptitude were outstanding enough, they would receive the attention and cultivation of the Dao Court's higher-ups.
"It's pretty good, but the Dao Court's current conditions are still far from enough to unify the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky." Yueyi Tianjun said indifferently by Qin Muling's side.
Qin Muling nodded. Without mentioning other conditions, violence was the foundation of all organizations. If the Dao Court wanted to accomplish such a great feat, having only three Emperor Sovereigns presiding over it was not enough. They needed a genuine Hongmeng Saint Supreme, along with dozens of Quasi-Saint Emperor Sovereigns, to ensure their actual control over the vast Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Of course, this was not a problem that Qin Muling needed to worry about now. Devoting herself to cultivation and improving her own cultivation level was the right path.
In the void, numerous cloud-white slender flying boats swiftly approached, numbering in the thousands.
These were the welcoming envoys sent by the Dao Court. Each flying boat was responsible for guiding a sect's team and leading them to different floating land masses until all the forces participating in the grand gathering of immortals had arrived.
The residences of each sect's forces were different, and the distances between them were not very close to each other. This was to prevent conflicts between forces with grudges, which would be difficult to resolve if things escalated.
The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace team was guided to a vast floating land mass with a radius of millions of miles. The grand palaces had already been tidied up, and the environment was quite superior. The concentration of spiritual energy was not inferior to the Grotto-Heaven blessed land of the sect's main altar. Tens of thousands of servants and maidservants awaited here, with Dao Court experts guarding the outer regions.
Xue Bingxuan began to exercise the authority of the senior sister, assigning each junior sister to different palace chambers and cave mansions, while the residences of the elders were also arranged properly. As for Qin Muling's accommodation, there was no need for separate arrangements. Of course, she would live and eat together with her.
However, shortly after settling down, a group of elegantly dressed messengers arrived at their door, followed by a large group of guards.
"...I have come on behalf of Princess Longyi, and I invite Qin Muling for a meeting to discuss tea and the Dao!"
The leading court lady elegantly bowed and presented a name card.
"..."
Feeling out of sorts, so this chapter is shorter. There will be an update before dawn.
