Chapter 471: Rouran Immortal Venerable: Junior Brother, please stay!
I knew it... It's not that easy to pass!
Hearing the almost naked threat from the Master of Genesis Star Palace, Qin Muling had an expression of "as expected".
But he wasn't afraid either, and said honestly, "With my current condition, it's probably difficult for me to even die. Master, what should I do?"
...
Emperor Bing Chan glared at Qin Muling with displeasure and whispered, "Junior Brother, you must not be disrespectful to the Master!"
Qin Muling pursed his lips and looked at Linghu Xuelan. He really didn't know how to face the Master of Genesis Star Palace. It had been tens of thousands of years since they last saw each other, and their feelings for each other were no longer the same as before. Moreover, his divine soul came from another time and space. It was only by chance that he was reincarnated into the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed and had the opportunity to take human form.
So now, even though Qin Muling knew the immense sacrifice the Master of Genesis Star Palace had made for him in the past, he still didn't know how to treat her appropriately.
Senior Sister? Master? Mother? Or Dao companion? Just like her best friend, the Monster Emperor by her side?
Anyway, Qin Muling now felt overwhelmed and could only let Linghu Xuelan mediate. After all, she was the one who understood the Master of Genesis Star Palace the most.
Linghu Xuelan smiled and said, "Sister, stop scaring him! We've finally reunited, we should be happy."
She then squeezed Qin Muling's hand and said, "You and the senior sisters should leave first. We need to have a private conversation."
Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief and agreed. He then bowed to the senior sisters again and turned away from the Taoist temple.
As for what would happen next, Qin Muling wasn't worried. These two best friends were unlikely to fight each other on the spot, no matter what.
"Junior Brother, let Sister take you around!" Emperor Bing Chan said to Qin Muling. He had no reason to refuse. Accompanied by the senior sisters, they began to travel through the Supreme Profound Clear Micro Heaven.
The Supreme Profound Clear Micro Heaven was vast and boundless, but it was not part of the Upper Realm. It was created by the Master of Genesis Star Palace using great magical powers, semi-independent from the Upper Realm. When necessary, it could be completely sealed off, such as when defending against powerful external enemies.
"...It seems that the Master's cultivation is even more powerful than I had estimated. She is already very close to the true Primordial Origin Saint Realm, right?" Qin Muling said. After severing the Three Corpses Incarnation, the next step was the realm of Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses. However, the comprehension and accumulation in this realm were particularly important. Even a slight difference could result in a huge disparity in actual combat power.
Being able to create a completely independent space-time world with a complete system of the Great Dao's laws was a Divine Ability possessed only by the legendary Primordial Origin Saint Supremes. Since the Master of Genesis Star Palace was not yet a true Saint Supreme, this world still had many imperfections and incompleteness.
The graceful Emperor Bing Huang said softly, "Your view is correct, but the Master has been stuck in this realm for many years, and her current state is not stable. In order to avoid accidents, she can only sleep in this Taoist temple all year round and cannot freely leave this world."
Originally, the senior sisters were very worried, but since Junior Brother returned and the Master of Genesis Star Palace obtained the Quasi-Saint Emperor-level lotus seed from him, the situation has improved a lot, and it's only a matter of time before she can come out of seclusion again.
Qin Muling nodded gently and said, "I will help the Master. In the future... I should be able to help her ascend to the position of a Saint."
Emperor Bing Chan hugged him and kissed him, smiling with satisfaction, "Of course, we all believe that you can do it. The senior sisters are also counting on you."
With the assistance of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, or the Genesis Azure Lotus as some may call it, the hope of attaining the Primordial Origin is within reach, and perhaps even further?
"Oh, by the way, after becoming a Primordial Origin Saint, are there new realms?" Qin Muling suddenly asked.
Emperor Bing Chan's expression froze for a moment, and his tone was uncertain. "There should be, right? My master vaguely mentioned it before, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Maybe you can ask my master directly in the future."
For countless cultivators, becoming a Primordial Origin Saint Supreme is the ultimate pursuit in their lifetime. It is difficult to even reach this step, let alone the higher realms such as the Mirror Flower Water Moon. Thinking too much about it is futile.
However, with Qin Muling's transcendent identity, it is only natural for him to pay attention to information related to the Primordial Origin. Emperor Bing Chan led his junior brother for a short stroll when a magnificent streak of light quietly passed through the sky. Monster Emperor Linghu Xuelan had already arrived, his expression calm as he said, "Junior brother, time is of the essence. Let's go pursue those anomalies now, shall we?"
Their purpose for coming to the Upper Realm this time was to hunt down the Innate Chaotic Divine Demons and reclaim the remaining flags of the Heavenly Demon Array. They couldn't afford any delays.
Qin Muling looked at her and asked, "How is my master doing? How did your conversation with her go?"
A mysterious smile appeared in Linghu Xuelan's golden eyes. "It's not convenient to tell you now. When we finish our business, she can tell you all the details. You still need to accompany her in cultivation and help her recover to her peak state as soon as possible!"
Qin Muling's expression changed again. So, it turns out he hasn't passed this test yet?
"Sister, stop scaring junior brother!" The pure and charming Linghu Qingya glanced at her and explained with a smile, "She wasn't even angry with you in the first place. This time, accompanying her in cultivation is a serious matter, just like when you cultivate with us. It's nothing to worry about."
"Okay."
Only then did Qin Muling truly breathe a sigh of relief. He took out a palm-sized, exquisitely beautiful copper mirror with intricate patterns. This was also an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure in the field of divination, possessing forty-three layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions. He obtained it by chance from the ruins of the Shadow Great World.
He dripped a drop of his own blood onto the copper mirror, and the surface of the mirror trembled slightly. A large amount of golden and purple qi surged out from the mirror. Even the junior sisters with lower cultivation could sense the faint movement of the laws and principles of divination.
After a dozen breaths, Qin Muling already had the result. He solemnly said to his senior sisters, "Those anomalies have already wiped out the main gate of the Demon Dao Ancestral Court, and they have also attacked the main gates of seven other Transcendent Level forces. Currently, they are attacking the main gate of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace. Let's hurry over to support!"
Linghu Xuelan was somewhat surprised. "Are they moving so fast? I remember that the main forces of those Transcendent Level forces have already returned in time. Could it be that they were all wiped out by them?"
Qin Muling shook his head. "That's not the case, but their attack speed is indeed extraordinary. With the six remaining flags in their hands, it's easy for them to refine and break through the defensive arrays of those sects' main gates."
In theory, those Transcendent Level forces have established their foundations for billions of years, so their defense systems are definitely not just for show. However, they are no match for the terrifying power of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Array, even if only half of it remains. They cannot easily withstand it.
The expeditionary forces of the thirty Transcendent Level forces have fought several battles against the Innate Chaotic Divine Demons, causing significant casualties to them. However, they have also suffered losses and have not gained any substantial advantage.
Both sides are currently engaged in a protracted battle, with heavy casualties on both sides. But neither side is willing to surrender first.
"...So it's the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace. Let's set off then. I wonder if we can make it in time," Linghu Xuelan muttered. If her speculation is correct, the Supreme Unintentional Dao Sovereign, the head of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, and his sect will definitely not be able to withstand this calamity. It's possible that the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, which may have its foundation completely destroyed, will be expelled from the Upper Realm and at the very least, become a second or third-rate power.
Qin Muling summoned the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore and had his senior sisters and junior sisters stay inside it, while he personally controlled the divine cauldron and flew through the air.
Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, a crucial place.
This Transcendent Level force, which has inherited countless ages, is currently facing an unprecedented life-or-death crisis.
The originally solid protective mountain formation is now only a thin layer, eroded by the boundless black flames.
Despite the desperate efforts of the high-ranking elders inside who are stationed at numerous key nodes, using all their magical powers to stabilize the formation, the protective layer continues to shake and dim, and it won't be long before it completely collapses.
"...How much longer do we have to wait for reinforcements to arrive?"
On the square in front of the sect's council hall, the bloodied and disheveled Unfeeling Dao Lord hoarsely asks, taking the elixir handed to him by an elder to temporarily stabilize his injuries.
"Headmaster, a portion of the enemy forces set up an ambush halfway, and we have already fought a battle. The reinforcements suffered heavy losses and are currently retreating to the Immortal Domain to regroup. It will take an estimated thirty hours for the second wave of reinforcements to arrive!"
The core elder in charge of external communication reports with a pale face.
Under the threat of mutual destruction, the Transcendent Level forces that have not yet been attacked have readily agreed to send support, but unfortunately, these Innate Chaotic Divine Demons are not only powerful, but also cunning and treacherous, causing these Transcendent Level forces from the upper realm to suffer several consecutive losses.
Unfeeling Dao Lord smiles bitterly, "Thirty hours? I'm afraid this formation won't last even three hours! Is the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace's inheritance of countless ages going to be lost in my hands today?"
The surrounding elders can't hide their despair and frustration. If they can't pass this trial, the millions of disciples and followers in this crucial place will probably not survive. They will all be assimilated and devoured by them!
A core elder who has just come out of seclusion grits his teeth and asks, "We have urgently awakened almost eighty percent of the Supreme Elders and all of the sect's important treasures. Why can't we withstand these creatures? Where did we go wrong?"
A Saint Child reports weakly, "Elder Hui, you may not know, but even though they have more powerful individuals among them, they are not enough to be feared. The key is that they have a set of All-Heaven Divine Demon Formation Flags, which are top-tier Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures. We don't have the means to counter them, so..."
"..."
The high-ranking members fall silent. They didn't realize it when they were still in the same camp, but now they understand how terrifying these former allies who have turned against them are.
And don't even think about surrendering. In the eyes of these creatures, human cultivators are food. The consequence of surrender will undoubtedly be the annihilation of all disciples, elders, and followers. No one will have a chance to survive.
Unfeeling Dao Lord clenches the hilt of his sword and says fiercely, "Forget it, even if Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace is destined to be destroyed today, I will make them pay a heavy price before I go..."
Just then, a sudden change occurs in the sky at the edge of their vision.
A huge Azure Lotus phantom appears in the air, instantly spreading to millions of miles in all directions. Purple qi and golden light fill the sky, and wherever the radiant brilliance passes, the arrogant chaotic creatures and Innate Chaotic Divine Demons instantly lose their ferocity, and their aura visibly weakens.
Faint cries of agony can be heard as one of the Innate Chaotic Divine Demons who was overseeing the operation of the formation is enveloped by the surging sword qi that appeared out of thin air, almost instantly disintegrating. The All-Heaven Divine Demon Formation Flag in its hand is snatched away by Qin Muling without any hesitation.
"So it's him?!"
Unfeeling Dao Lord is momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, "Qin Muling has come, we are finally saved!"
"So he is the legendary Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus? Truly deserving of his reputation..."
The elders who stayed behind at the sect's crucial place, not participating in the expeditionary force, have complex expressions as they gaze at the majestic Azure Lotus phantom in silence.
Such an unprecedented and heaven-defying treasure, the supreme opportunity to achieve enlightenment and become a saint. How wonderful would it be if it could belong to the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace? Unfortunately...
Outside the mountain protection formation...
After Qin Muling succeeded with one strike, he did not stay and swiftly rushed towards the location of the next flag. Linghu Xuelan, Emperor Bing Chan, and the other women closely guarded him.
In a few breaths, the second Innate Chaotic Divine Demon perished, and another flag fell into his hands.
Although there were still a large number of chaotic beasts and Innate Chaotic Divine Demons guarding the flags, under the suppression of the domain rules of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, their strength dropped by more than one realm, rendering them unable to threaten Qin Muling. Moreover, his senior sisters' attacks were also restraining them with all their might.
"It's the Good Fortune Azure Lotus again?! Damn it! This is just damn!" The frustrated voice of Muyuanzi echoed from afar. Its injuries had long since healed, and it held an extraordinary-grade long sword in its hand. However, after hesitating several times, it still didn't have the courage to rush over and fight Qin Muling to the death.
"Forget it, you're lucky today! Retreat!"
Staring fiercely at the illusion of the Azure Lotus, Muyuanzi reluctantly issued the retreat order.
There was no choice but to retreat. Otherwise, if they delayed any longer, all of its clansmen would have to stay here, and it wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
At this moment, Qin Muling had already rushed to the third Innate Chaotic Divine Demon. After killing it together with his senior sisters, he naturally seized the third flag.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining chaotic beasts had already scattered and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"...letting these guys escape again!" Qin Muling felt a bit frustrated. There were still three flags that hadn't been obtained! Couldn't you at least leave the things behind before running away?!
Linghu Xuelan smiled and said, "It's okay, they can't escape at all. With your abilities, even if these anomalies escape into the depths of the chaotic void, you can still catch them!"
"Well, that's true."
Qin Muling put away the Primordial Blood Purgatory Halberd and was about to leave with his senior sisters.
"Qin Junior Brother, please wait!"
A melodious and gentle voice, as if a yellow oriole leaving its valley, entered his ears.
Emperor Bing Chan turned her head, and her expression immediately turned cold.
Only to see a stunning mature beauty dressed in colorful robes and exquisite attire, stepping on auspicious clouds, rushing over at high speed. Beside her were hundreds of high-ranking female immortals, each one with a heavenly appearance and extraordinary beauty. Their radiant eyes sparkled with a burning desire, as if about to overflow with water.
Approaching, this stunning mature beauty elegantly bowed, her breath fragrant like orchids. The emerald phoenix crown on her cloud-like bun trembled slightly as she sweetly called out,
"Thank you, Qin Junior Brother, for saving the foundation of our Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace. I am the first saintess of the Heavenly Palace, Rou Ran Immortal Venerable. Please come to the sect's council hall, where I and others will prepare some wine to express our gratitude!"
Qin Muling: "..."
