Chapter 419 Starry Sky Enclosure
The main altar of the sect.
Above the sea of clouds in mid-air, four Buddha Ancestors stood side by side, silently observing the changes at the edge of the vast virtual land, together with Mu Yinghua, Emperor Tian Xia, and the women of the Soft Blue Emperor.
In the depths of the huge Azure Lotus shadow, a piece of land with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy slowly emerged, rapidly expanding and eventually turning into a land with a radius of billions of miles. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao controlled it with a great divine ability and securely placed it in the designated area, merging it with the original land.
Since the Buddha Domain Pure Land has joined, the scale of the main altar of the sect naturally needs to continue expanding. Fortunately, with the Illusory Mist Secret Realm as a backing and Qin Muling as the transporter, everything is familiar and easy.
In just a month's time, the main altar of the sect has expanded by more than 20 trillion square miles, which is enough to accommodate the female cultivators who have come from the Buddha Domain Pure Land.
"... This is the miraculous power of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus!"
The Pure and Virtuous Buddha sighed slightly, "Indeed, it's unbelievable. I also tried to enter the Illusory Mist Secret Realm before, but unfortunately, the bearded Daoist was still there at that time, and I was sent back."
In that distant era, the Pure and Virtuous Buddha had just stepped into the Quasi-Saint Emperor level and was naturally no match for the bearded Daoist. Unexpectedly, now, all the Heavenly Human Race's Divine Needles of the Sea have fallen, and the entire Illusory Mist Secret Realm has become the backyard of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
It can be said that before coming here, the high-level members of the Buddha Domain Pure Land did not anticipate that the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would have such a heavyweight chip in their hands. The significant deviation in the assessment of the strengths of both sides would undoubtedly lead to strategic mistakes in decision-making.
It can be imagined that if the two sides cannot come to an agreement and really start fighting, the casualty rate of the disciples of the Buddha Domain Pure Land will be much higher than what the high-level members expected.
Jingfan Tianyu glanced at Mu Yinghua with her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "If it weren't for the imminent unification of the two realms, or if we were a hundred and eighty years late, would you allow the Buddha Domain Pure Land to join?"
"Definitely."
Mu Yinghua did not hide this point. As long as Qin Muling grows up and, more importantly, when there are enough Apex Level powerhouses in the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, there will naturally be no need for new allies to share the benefits.
Hua Xi Emperor, who was gentle and quiet, smiled, "If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has enough time to develop and grow, I'm afraid they wouldn't even accept us, Divine Phoenix Palace!"
Just think about it, when Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace reigns over the heavens and all realms, towering above all, all the forces of the Dao lineage have to bow down and acknowledge allegiance. The opportunity to prove the Dao and become a Saint is also unrelated to others. The female cultivators of these two Dao lineages are somewhat apprehensive and, more importantly, grateful for the opportunity to get on board.
Venerable Miluo Elephant shook the folding fan in his hand and said gently, "There is no need to be too eager to transport the land. Let Lingling heal them first! In addition, we still need to do something to prepare for the upcoming calamity!"
A few days ago, the first batch of female cultivators from the Buddha Domain Pure Land who descended from the Upper Realm had arrived at the main altar of the sect, with a scale of over two million. Most of them were injured and were waiting for Qin Muling to help them recover.
The Grand Palace Master turned his head and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you suggesting... to eliminate the remaining forces of the Dao lineage in the Extreme Void Starry Sky?"
Venerable Miluo Elephant nodded, "Exactly! There is no need for unrelated forces of the Dao lineage to continue existing. In order to avoid future complications, it is better to eliminate them all, or they can unconditionally submit to the Buddha Domain Pure Land!"
Mu Yinghua pondered. The Buddhist sect did not intend to let other Transcendent Level forces intervene in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, at least not so soon. Therefore, it is in their best interest to deal with those forces of the Dao lineage that are not under their control.
After all, the Monster Emperor Nation, Genesis Star Palace, and Absolute Beginning Dao Palace have already arrived in large numbers. If a few more forces come, it will inevitably lead to a situation similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Upper Realm. This will undoubtedly consume a lot of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance's energy.
In fact, the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had such thoughts before, but unfortunately, their strength was not strong enough at that time. They still needed these forces of the Dao lineage to attract the firepower of the Demon Race descendants' legion, so this matter was put on hold.
Moreover, even if they managed to reclaim some territory, they would still need to allocate and manage a considerable amount of power, as well as transform the environment. In short, it would be a lot of trouble, and the cost and benefits would not be proportional.
Of course, now the strength of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has greatly increased, and the timing for taking action is ripe. With the elite forces of the Buddha Domain Pure Land and the Divine Phoenix Palace, they can wipe out both the Demon Race descendants' legion and those Dao lineage forces that are no longer influential!
In addition, the Buddha Domain Pure Land also wants to show its worth, after all, they arrived a bit late. So doing a little more in this regard is considered fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of an ally.
"Since that's the case, let's do it this way!"
After a brief contemplation, the Grand Palace Master agreed. As long as the cleansing operation was successfully completed, at least one-third of the Extreme Void Starry Sky would become the exclusive territory of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. According to past conventions, whoever seizes the unclaimed territories in the void would own them.
In the future, even if the two realms were unified, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would possess such a large territory and abundant resources, making them unquestionably the number one power in the Transcendent Level circle.
The post-environmental transformation could be entrusted to Qin Muling, and there were enough personnel to handle the subsequent management. Given time, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would undoubtedly grow into an unprecedented behemoth, with enough power to crush all Transcendent Level forces in the upper realm.
So, when Qin Muling returned from the Illusory Mist Secret Realm once again, the Grand Palace Master grabbed him and gave him some instructions, telling him to accompany the female cultivators from the Buddha Domain Pure Land and not to worry about anything else.
Qin Muling naturally agreed and returned to the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore with the company of the women.
In the flower hall of the inner courtyard, a large group of beautiful female cultivators from the Buddha Domain Pure Land had been waiting for a long time. Among them were lay practitioners with hair and worldly attire, as well as female monks in monastic robes. Without exception, they were all naturally beautiful and had stunning appearances.
The Heavenly Silence Goddess smiled and introduced Qin Muling to the important figures inside, including several elders with the highest cultivation level, surpassing Mu Yinghua and Empress Roulan. They were all in a severely injured state and urgently needed Qin Muling's help to recover.
On the other side, the Grand Palace Master was discussing the plan and strategy for launching an expedition to sweep the Extreme Void Starry Sky with the Buddha Ancestors in the sect's council hall.
Under the gaze of the powerful beings, a projection of a star map gradually formed, spanning over a hundred zhang in radius. In the star map, there were splendid and magnificent galaxies, star belts, star domains, nebulae... as well as countless land fragments of various shapes and sizes, like the sands of the Ganges River, all vividly displayed.
On the star map, the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain was located in the center, surrounded by territories once controlled by the Jade Pearl Star Palace, Bright Moon Sword Sect, Jade Drop Divine Temple, Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate, and other sect forces. Of course, they had all now fallen under the influence of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
After Emperor Bing Chan of the Genesis Star Palace annihilated the Jade Pearl Star Palace and other orthodox forces, due to a lack of manpower, they only plundered some wealth and resources and took away a group of mortals. Then, they publicly auctioned off the surviving disciples and their territories.
The high-level members of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace did not want any other orthodox forces to appear near their doorstep, so they bought up all these territories, along with the cultivator slaves.
Lan Yifei, the former head of the Jade Pearl Star Palace, and her biological daughter Yan Ningluo fell into Qin Muling's hands under such circumstances. As for the Saintess Lan Qiyao, she was captured alive after the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace destroyed the Shadow Assassin Temple and also became Qin Muling's exclusive slave.
"...We, the Buddhist sect, will be responsible for all the orthodox forces in this area!"
With a wave of his hand, the Tai Xuan Pure and Primordial Buddha encompassed the vast void in the western part of the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain.
Because the main altar of the Nine Nether Forest Net Hall was located at the westernmost edge of this star map, separated by dozens of large Immortal Domains from the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, there were hundreds of orthodox forces, large and small, scattered in between. This was the result of the Demon Race's ravages and calamities over the years. Before the great calamity, the number of these orthodox forces would have been a hundred times greater, not to mention the vast number of independent cultivators.
Of course, among these relatively normal Immortal Domains, there were also more than ten times the number of dark Immortal Domains, which were occupied by descendants of the Demon Race, extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, evil independent cultivators, and various types of starry beasts and spirit birds.
The Grand Palace Master smiled, "This range is a bit large, but with the strength of the Buddha Domain Pure Land, it shouldn't be difficult to completely eliminate them! Since that's the case, our Divine Phoenix Palace will be responsible for the eastern part!"
The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and several other female cultivator sects were relatively weaker in strength, so they would be responsible for the exploration and elimination tasks in the southern direction. Since there were no strong orthodox forces in this area, it would be easy to take control.
In fact, by now, with the increasing number of Quasi-Saint Emperors and Great Principal Golden Immortals within the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, the truly difficult challenges were becoming rare. Once the small fry were eliminated, it would mostly be a matter of expanding their territory.
"Now that it's settled, Fellow Daoists, let's start the operation," said the Pure and Virtuous Buddha. "The three of us brothers cannot stay here for long. Let's set a three-month deadline, and then Sister Jingfan can take full responsibility for the affairs here."
Jingfan, the Heavenly Silence Goddess, nodded, "I have no objections. Let it be so."
Several hours later, thousands of massive Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats set off in batches, carrying billions of female cultivators. Led by a large group of Quasi-Saint Emperors, they headed towards the surrounding Immortal Domains in a grand and imposing manner.
