Chapter 455: Immortal Venerable Qinying: Are you serious?
In front of a grand mural, thousands of cultivators formed circles of various sizes, setting up defensive formations and carefully selecting suitable targets from the mural to try their luck.
Occasionally, cultivators would scream in agony, bleeding from their seven orifices and perishing, or their souls would suffer heavy damage. They would hurriedly take out pills to heal themselves, but this did not dampen their enthusiasm.
Occasionally, a cultivator would obtain a decent-grade Law Treasure or a pill or technique, immediately attracting jealous and envious gazes. If it weren't for the consideration of the occasion, someone would have already couldn't help but snatch it away.
Fortunately, there seemed to be plenty of opportunities here, and there were definitely better things yet to appear. It wasn't worth fighting to the death for the current benefits.
"...Senior Sister Qinying, these guys inside are really tough. I almost couldn't come back!"
"Well, sisters, do your best. If your cultivation is not enough, don't force yourselves. I still want to bring all of you back!"
"But if we don't try, how can we be content? There are indeed many good things inside..."
"Good things are good, but you still need real skills to obtain them!"
Inside a exquisitely embroidered red tower, the women of the Luojia Divine Dynasty leaned against the window, gazing at the lifelike portraits of powerful beings in the mural, eager to try but also somewhat fearful.
At this moment, their number had dwindled to less than two hundred. The remaining female cultivators, due to their insufficient strength to withstand the erosion of the Resentful Spirit's curse, were arranged by Immortal Venerable Qinying to leave the secret realm early and return to the chaotic void outside to recuperate.
This behavior was undoubtedly wise and could avoid many unnecessary casualties.
"If only we could act together with them..."
Qinying Immortal Venerable said softly. This stunning beauty not only had profound cultivation, seemingly on par with Emperor Bing Chan and Linghu Qingya, but her appearance and temperament were also top-notch. She had an elegant and majestic bearing, with rich and soft facial features, black hair, cloud-like temples, and beautiful eyes that hid stars and moons. Her rosy lips were enchanting.
When she led the team in, Qinying Immortal Venerable saw Qin Muling and her group at first glance. Therefore, she naturally set up camp not far from them, and this red tower was also an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure. As long as they stayed inside, they would be protected by this precious treasure.
Since they had not encountered any external attacks, the defensive formation on Qin Muling's side had not been fully activated. In the hazy light and shadow, outsiders could vaguely see the actions of the women inside.
As a result, Qin Muling and her senior sisters' extraordinary performances were all seen by Qinying Immortal Venerable.
She didn't say anything about it, but quietly manipulated the red tower to release a large amount of misty and dazzling pink light rain, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the view of the outside cultivators, so as to prevent those guys from having any evil thoughts out of envy.
On this side, Qin Muling's consciousness was once again guided into the mysterious space within the mural.
Unlike previous times, perhaps sensing his extraordinary nature, this time there were four humanoid beings appearing in front of Qin Muling. They were dressed strangely, somewhat resembling wanderers in the secular world, each holding a weapon and glaring at him.
Judging from their aura, the strength of these guys should be close to that of a Quasi-Saint Emperor who had severed their Virtuous Thought Incarnation. If their strange and inexplicable Divine Abilities and the curse of the Resentful Spirit were taken into account, even Bing Chan and Linghu Qingya would not find it easy to defeat them. They would have to pay the price of heavy damage to their own divine souls.
Qin Muling naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to confront them head-on. He raised the Primordial Blood Purgatory Halberd, and the Azure Lotus phantom appeared again, with boundless radiance and purple aura enveloping his body, rapidly spreading in all directions.
The four individuals' expressions changed slightly, and dense black qi surged out of their bodies, forming a pitch-black barrier that protected them. At the same time, they roared and attacked him, their weapons stirring the space, carrying a mountain-like pressure.
The fleeting shadow of the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore easily blocked the attacks of the four guys. Under the collision of the Clear Radiance Purple Qi and the pitch-black light curtain, the latter immediately began to rapidly melt like hot wax, making a sizzling sound.
Although more black energy continued to surge out to replenish it, it still couldn't withstand the burning purification of the Clear Radiance Purple Qi. It only held on for a moment before the pitch-black light curtain collapsed, and the bodies of the four guys were immediately enveloped by the Clear Radiance Purple Qi.
Amidst the piercing screams, their bodies were corroded as if by strong acid, instantly riddled with holes. More black mist continuously spewed out from their wounds, but it was futile.
After ten breaths, Qin Muling once again harvested a wave of luck fate energy and returned safely.
This time, he held in his hand a faintly glowing, exquisitely shaped, and naturally formed purple-gold jade ruyi, a true Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, containing thirty-nine layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions.
"What a good thing, Junior Brother is really lucky!" said the radiant and lively Emperor Zi Qing with a smile.
"It's not bad," Qin Muling smiled and waved his hand to heal the injured senior sisters, then let Linghu Xuelan and the others continue with the next round of attempts.
There were too many creatures on this giant mural, and Qin Muling had already noticed that the same creature might manifest three or five times in the mysterious consciousness space. Only when they were all killed would they gradually disappear from the mural and no longer appear.
So, whether they were vengeful spirits, projections of the obsessions of powerful beings, or some other strange things, encountering Qin Muling meant that their fate would only be wiped out.
His gaze turned to other areas of the cave. In addition to the female cultivators from the Luojia Divine Dynasty, there were also many cultivators from other Great Worlds in different time and space. There were humans and other races.
Some powerful Beast Race anomalies still maintained their original forms and movements, such as Zhu Yan, Luo Hou, Tian Yu, Fei Yi, and the Nine-Headed Centipede. Just by looking at their huge bodies, if they were slaughtered, cleaned, and stewed with some Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine as an ingredient, the taste of that medicinal cuisine would surely be excellent.
In the distance, several anomalies suddenly shivered, and their powerful divine senses searched around, trying to find the source of the dangerous aura. However, there were too many cultivators in the cave at this moment, making it impossible to find out.
Perhaps they themselves would never understand what it meant to be targeted by the transformed body of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus.
"...Bastard!" Linghu Xuelan's originally calm face suddenly turned pale. Blood flowed from her eyes, nose, and mouth, and her aura suddenly plummeted to a low point. Then she opened her eyes.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Qin Muling asked with concern. The purple light column, rich in the aura of Good Fortune, quietly descended and quickly repaired the heavy injuries to her body and soul.
"I was surrounded and attacked by two powerful guys. It took me the loss of hundreds of years of lifespan from the Yuanhui to deal with them. I almost couldn't come back!" Linghu Xuelan said with lingering fear. The existence that even she, the Monster Emperor Supreme, suffered losses from, showed how powerful it was. If it were another senior sister, it might have been more dangerous.
However, the gains were abundant. She now held a beautifully crafted gold ring with twin dragons coiling around it, an extremely powerful Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure containing forty-two layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Muling finally said, "How about... Senior Sisters, you all stop trying, and I'll take care of the rest by myself?"
He was worried that the girls would eventually encounter a crisis they couldn't handle. Although he could heal even the most serious injuries, if one of his senior sisters were to fall in that mysterious space, even he would be powerless to save them.
Furthermore, considering the luck of his senior sisters, even if they succeeded ten times, they might not have any decent gains and would instead face significant risks. It would be better for Qin Muling to handle it himself since his abilities were perfectly suited to restrain these vengeful spirits and demons.
"Well... alright!"
Linghu Xuelan hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed.
No matter what, they couldn't let their junior brother worry, and if a few senior sisters were to be lost, it would be a significant blow to the Monster Emperor Kingdom and the Genesis Star Palace.
It's not that their senior sisters weren't strong enough, but because of the unique nature of this secret realm, their abilities were rendered useless.
On the other hand, Qin Muling was the opposite. Although his cultivation was not as high as any of them, he could easily deal with these strange vengeful spirits and demons.
Bing Chan, Jin Luan, and Linghu Qingya had some regrets, but they didn't voice any objections. It was right not to let their junior brother worry, and no matter how many opportunities and benefits there were here, they couldn't compare to their junior brother, so there was nothing to be regretful about.
So, Qin Muling began his journey of reaping the benefits alone, while the senior sisters focused on their duty of guarding, discreetly monitoring the movements of other cultivators in the cave.
As Qin Muling's consciousness was guided into the mysterious space time and time again, returning safely each time, he accumulated more and more treasures in his hands. His harvesting efficiency was at least a hundred times higher than that of other powerful cultivators, not to mention the tremendous gains in luck and destiny.
After more than an hour, Emperor Bing Huang suddenly noticed that Qinying Immortal Venerable's expression became solemn as she left the embroidered building and approached the edge of the formation's alert range with her graceful and voluptuous figure.
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"
Emperor Bing Chan furrowed her eyebrows slightly. Since they had met before and this person didn't seem to be causing trouble, her attitude remained friendly.
Qinying Immortal Venerable slightly bowed and showed a faint worry in her beautiful eyes as she softly said, "Sister, my junior sisters' injuries are too severe. If not treated in time, there is a danger of falling. However, we have already used up all the healing Holy Medicine we carried with us. Helplessly, we can only come here to beg Fellow Daoist for assistance. We will definitely express our gratitude afterwards!"
They didn't have the extraordinary means that Qin Muling possessed. After their consciousness entered the mysterious space, they could only rely on their cultivation to endure. It was inevitable that they would get injured.
Moreover, after numerous attempts, they would inevitably be affected by some curse or evil power. Even if they could suppress and alleviate it to some extent with certain methods, it would still become more severe over time.
So, at this point, more than half of the female cultivators from the Luojia Divine Dynasty were unable to take action, and it was uncertain whether the most severely injured twenty or so people could return to the Luojia Divine Dynasty alive.
Fortunately, Qinying Immortal Venerable had witnessed Qin Muling healing his senior sisters before, and she had a deeper understanding of the extraordinary strength of this team. When faced with an insurmountable crisis, she immediately thought of seeking help.
"Well..."
Emperor Bing Chan hesitated and glanced at Qin Muling. Luojia Divine Dynasty had been relatively friendly before, and since they were all female cultivators, there wasn't that much suspicion or hostility between them. However, this would undoubtedly affect the safety of their junior brother.
Linghu Xuelan calmly said, "We can help, but our junior sister won't easily take risks. Let your people come over!"
Since Qin Muling was currently disguised as a girl, Linghu Xuelan referred to him as "junior sister."
Even if they agreed to help, Qin Muling couldn't leave the protection range of the formation, nor could he leave the sight of his senior sisters. It could only be their people who would come over.
Immortal Venerable Qinying's expression showed a hint of joy: "Alright, no problem with that."
She hurriedly returned, and soon over a hundred female cultivators, dressed in snowy white robes and with beautiful faces, rushed over. Some of them were severely injured and on the verge of unconsciousness, supported by their sisters.
In order to gain trust from this side, none of these female cultivators carried any Law Treasures or weapons.
Qin Muling nodded slightly and waved her hand. The purplish-blue columns of light, filled with the vitality of Good Fortune, fell on them in an orderly manner. In an instant, not only did the injuries of these female cultivators heal completely, but even the depleted mana and lifespan, as well as some old hidden injuries, were all completely healed.
"Fellow Daoist, this...this..." Immortal Venerable Qinying's mouth opened slightly, unable to conceal her shock. Just now, she also received one of the purplish-blue columns of light, and the unimaginable power of Good Fortune vitality inside was simply unheard of!
In the blink of an eye, not only did her condition recover to its peak, but even the slight curse that had contaminated her soul was also purified. Even her originally flawless Dao Foundation showed signs of further optimization and improvement!
How is this possible?!
Qinying Immortal Venerable, who had seen and experienced a lot, immediately came to a conclusion: such a heaven-defying Divine Ability, not only could it not be found in the entire Luojia Divine Dynasty, but even in several other more powerful Great Worlds, there was no mention of such existence.
So, where did this group of female cultivators come from, which ancient and mysterious powerful Great World?
"Alright, go back!" Qin Muling's voice sounded, "Remember not to take risks easily. I won't always have the opportunity to help you."
"Alright..." Immortal Venerable Qinying answered gratefully. After a moment of contemplation, she took out a palm-sized golden seal and gently sent it over with her mana, saying softly,
"This is my token. As long as you take it to our Luojia Divine Dynasty in the future, you can exchange it for three trillion merits of heaven and earth, plus three Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, as a token of my gratitude!"
"If you have any other requests, feel free to mention them. I and the current Empress will do our best to fulfill them!"
Qin Muling's expression was slightly stunned, while Emperor Bing Chan beside her became somewhat vigilant. Although this woman offered many thanks, if she really let her junior apprentice brother go to the Luojia Divine Dynasty, who knows what might happen.
If they took a liking to her junior apprentice brother and wanted to keep him in the Luojia Divine Dynasty, they would definitely use all kinds of shameless tricks, just like those promiscuous women from the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
"It's just a small favor, no need for thanks," Qin Muling said in a casual tone, "Besides, I won't have a chance to go to the Luojia Divine Dynasty before achieving sainthood. You should take back the things!"
"Achieving sainthood..." Immortal Venerable Qinying widened her eyes, doubting for a moment if she had misheard. This person was so audacious! In the countless tribulations that had occurred, she had never heard of a true Primordial Origin Saint Supreme appearing in any Great World. On what basis did this person dare to make such a boast? Are you serious?
