Chapter 313: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: Shall I assist you in your cultivation?
In the Cave Mansion of the Supreme Sect's Sect Master.
Mu Yinghua walked step by step with Qin Muling, bowing to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao on the high platform. The five Empress Immortals, Xinyu, Qinghuan, Tongying, Lanhua, and Jinglan, sat beside them.
Although Immortal Venerable Qing Yao summoned his disciples and grandchildren for internal affairs of the sect, considering Qin Muling's special status, the five Empress Immortals chose to stay.
After all, they were also somewhat worried about Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's behavior. If this founding ancestor of the sect intended to do something to Qin Muling, it might endanger the overall interests of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
This little guy not only belonged to the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace now but also became the core of the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance. They couldn't help but be concerned.
Qin Muling glanced at his master, not yet sure what to say, when a clear and melodious voice came from above:
"It's truly worthy of being an Innate Primordial Spirit Root. It is said that the only glimmer of hope in this era's calamity, the Extreme Void Starry Sky, has fallen on you. It seems that what they said is not false. However... this round of calamity was originally supposed to be presided over by the Genesis Star Palace, but in the end, it was intercepted by our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."
Qin Muling: "..."
He instinctively tightened his grip on Mu Yinghua's jade hand. When the Genesis Star Palace was attacked, every corner inside and outside the star palace was swept away by those forces, fighting for various benefits. Especially the fierce battle that took place near the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond, where high-level cultivators fell like rain. Even though he was still in a deep sleep, he sensed the impending crisis and escaped through space.
Coincidentally, Mu Yinghua was in the peripheral area of the Genesis Star Palace at that time. As a result, the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed flew straight into her arms. She knew that she had obtained something good and immediately fled with the spiritual seed, leading to the subsequent encounters and fate.
If he hadn't flown away in time, he would have been snatched by some force. Other forces that were unwilling to fail would definitely continue to seek revenge, fighting for the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, leading to endless bloodshed. The entire Extreme Void Starry Sky cultivation world would be involved.
Mu Yinghua anxiously said, "Ancestor, Qin Muling was brought back by the junior at that time..."
"It doesn't matter, you did well!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao interrupted, "This cause and effect with the Genesis Star Palace is not small. In the future, it will have to be resolved through a battle. But since I have returned, I will take responsibility for this matter!"
Mu Yinghua breathed a sigh of relief. The benefits that had already been obtained were absolutely impossible to give up, especially since it was an opportunity to achieve enlightenment and eternal transcendence. Even if it wasn't in her hands, with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's temperament, she would do everything possible to seize it at any cost.
On the path of the Great Dao, right and wrong didn't matter. Everyone was just pursuing ultimate transcendence.
Qin Muling's vision blurred for a moment, and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had already stood opposite him. Her lively and profound eyes, shining like stars, deeply examined him. Then, her wrist touched his, and he felt a smooth and delicate touch. A cool and refreshing breath rushed into his body.
In an instant, Qin Muling radiated a brilliant light. Golden brilliance and purple clouds surged up, gathering above his head into a huge cloud canopy of celebration. It had seven layers, and magnificent colorful rays filled the void. Various phenomena such as the evolution of galaxies, the opening of the primordial chaos, and the rising and setting of the sun and moon appeared one after another.
His immense luck and fortune were materialized by her in this way, intense and fiery like the sun in the sky. Finally, it transformed into a huge shadow of an Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, quietly suspended behind Qin Muling.
The several Empress Immortals beside him were mesmerized. This was the appearance of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed after it had taken form, containing boundless good fortune, fortune, and Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme. Whoever was favored and close to it would have the opportunity to achieve the Great Dao, and from then on, they would live forever and be eternally carefree.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded in satisfaction, but then expressed some regret, saying, "Unfortunately, my cultivation level is still a bit low at the moment, otherwise..."
"What otherwise?" She didn't continue speaking, but changed her words, saying, "It's not a big deal. We just have to wait a little longer. Once you achieve the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit in the future, you will be able to help more fellow disciples."
"Of course, it's the responsibility of the younger generation."
Qin Muling cautiously said. The appearance of this founder of the sect seemed to be a year or two older than Yu Lingzhou, and was so beautiful that it was almost suffocating, making it difficult to look directly at her. Every curve of her body was perfect and graceful. The seemingly simple green-gold long dress was faintly adorned with countless ancient and obscure runes, which faintly resonated with the surrounding laws of the void, easily harnessing the power of heaven and earth with every breath.
Although they were both at the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, their strengths were likely worlds apart. Someone like Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would have no problem dealing with a hundred or eighty ordinary Quasi-Saints. Even Emperor Bing Chan of Genesis Star Palace would be inferior to her.
However, if the legendary master of Genesis Star Palace appeared, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would probably not be able to resist. That was a terrifying existence recognized by all parties in the Extreme Void Starry Sky as being closest to the Saint Supreme.
Perhaps, in the future, it would take all the ancestors of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance working together to have a chance to contend with them. After all, Genesis Star Palace was once the number one immortal Sacred Land, and there were too many strong Quasi-Saint Emperors.
"Alright, you and your Dao companion master, let's sit down and discuss matters together!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and looked meaningfully at Mu Yinghua, saying, "Your talent is decent, but your destiny is lacking. Originally, you could have reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, but being able to bring back the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed and having such a fate with him shows that you are blessed. Your future is promising for the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit."
"What the ancestor said..."
Mu Yinghua blushed and murmured softly. Although the emperors already knew about the true relationship between Qin Muling and herself, being exposed by the ancestor in person still made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
So, Qin Muling sat next to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao with her master, and they continued to discuss the future situation of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"After falling out with the two from Dao Court this time, your days ahead won't be easy."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said to Emperor Qing Huan, "In order to ensure the safety of your territory and disciples, I will arrange three direct disciples to stay in your jurisdiction for a period of time. I believe that until they have sufficient confidence, they will not choose to turn against you and start a war."
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable!"
Emperor Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Her choice was correct. With the three direct disciples sent by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao as a strategic deterrent, Xuan Yin and Wei De, the two emperors, would not attack Emperor Qing Huan's territory for a certain period of time, so as to avoid the powerful retaliation of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
Dao Court's territory and resources were one-third under Emperor Qing Huan's control. With such a huge foundation, it was impossible to easily give up. Therefore, she really needed strong external support now.
Emperor Xin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Ancestor, Dao Court is currently unable to deal with us. After returning, they will definitely try their best to form alliances and gather as many forces as possible to besiege the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. At the same time, they will also do their best to contact the ancestors in the Ascension Upper Realm. As long as a few of them return, they can offset our current advantage."
Dao Court also had many powerful figures who ascended in the past. After so many years, it was unknown what their situation was like, but as long as they were still alive, they would most likely return in the future.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled indifferently, "I know those guys. Their luck in the Upper Realm is not good. There are too many strong enemies around their territories, so they have been having a hard time. In the future, they probably won't be able to gather much strength to support them, so there's no need to worry."
The Extreme Void Starry Sky and the Upper Realm were two completely different battlefields. The big shots who were respected and influential here would not be recognized in the Upper Realm. Everything had to start from scratch.
Therefore, over the years, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the Upper Realm had also flourished and established a large foundation. However, the people who came out from other sects and forces might not have such good luck. Some did well, while others did not.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao briefly described the power structure of the upper realm. Due to the vast foundation of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace over there, it cannot be abandoned. Therefore, this time she only brought back five direct disciples, all of whom are senior Quasi-Saint Emperors. In addition, there is also a group of Taiyi and Great Principle level experts.
These five direct disciples temporarily lent three to Emperor Qing Huan, and the remaining two naturally have to stay in the main hall of the sect to ensure Qin Muling's safety.
Emperor Xin Yu and Mu Yinghua exchanged glances, secretly delighted. With such strong support, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's influence within the Female Cultivators Union Alliance will be stable. Regardless of whether their families are willing or not, they can only follow Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the future.
"... Jade Drop Divine Temple and Jade Pearl Star Palace were destroyed by Emperor Bing Chan of Genesis Star Palace. Their ancestors will only cause trouble for them in the future. As for Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate and Bright Moon Sword Sect, there are still some people in the upper realm, and I will personally deal with them in the future!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao calmly spoke. Although the Ascension passage has reopened, the exchange between the two realms is still not easy. Especially with the destruction of the main hall of the sect, it will be much more difficult for the ancestors of these two forces to return.
The most appropriate method is to use the Ascension passage of other sects to return. Of course, the cost of doing so will be high, and the high-level members of other forces may not be willing to let you pass.
Therefore, in the recent decades, it is unlikely that these two archenemies of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will cause any trouble.
If the time for their return is too late, when the catastrophe in the Extreme Void Starry Sky is nearing its end and the reshuffling of power is completed, returning will not have much meaning.
"What I am most worried about now is the one from Genesis Star Palace," Emperor Xin Yu said with concern. "She shouldn't come back temporarily, right? And those two from Dao Court, they have probably guessed Mu Ling's true identity. If they are convinced that they have no chance to share the benefits in the future, will they directly join Genesis Star Palace?"
Once they decide to join Genesis Star Palace, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance will immediately face a full-scale attack from Genesis Star Palace. Emperor Bing Chan and the others will spare no effort to regain Qin Muling.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered slightly. "Not for now. The one from Genesis Star Palace is in a strange state and has been sleeping in a secret palace in the upper realm. After so many years, I haven't seen her once."
"The two from Dao Court are not giving up yet, so we can still buy some time."
"In this round of catastrophe, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has taken the initiative. As long as we ensure Mu Ling's safety, we can stand undefeated. If our strength is not enough in the future, I can continue to summon people from the upper realm!"
"That's good then."
Emperor Xin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. With Immortal Venerable Qing Yao present, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is currently the most powerful force in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, at least until the ancestors of other forces return.
Lan Hua, Tong Ying, and several other Emperor-level experts exchanged silent glances. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is now stable, but their own ancestors have not been heard from, and they don't know the situation in the upper realm. They will have to find a way to contact them when they return.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's gaze fell on Qin Muling again, smiling slightly.
"For you now, improving your cultivation is the most important thing. But it's strange, why don't you find more companions? There are so many beautiful women in the sect, aren't you interested?"
Qin Muling looked slightly stunned and replied, "As a junior with low cultivation, I can't handle too many. That's why I can only do this."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded, "I see. However, I happen to have a suitable cultivation manual here in the palace. It was obtained from a long-lost ancient dual-cultivation Cave Mansion in the upper realm. It can to some extent ignore the difference in cultivation levels between men and women, allowing you to gain more benefits."
As she spoke, her jade hand brushed against her waist and she took out a colorful ancient jade box, handing it to Qin Muling.
Immediately, the female emperors around them showed a hint of complexity in their eyes.
Mu Yinghua's heart tightened as she looked at Qin Muling with some worry. Once this news spread within the sect, wouldn't those fox-like seductresses become even more eager? In order to seduce Qin Muling, they would probably use all kinds of shameless tricks. Even these emperors might not be able to restrain themselves and personally intervene, regardless of their reputation.
Qin Muling carefully opened the jade box and took out a beautifully exquisite scroll that radiated with flowing light. The ancient celestial book symbols, as small as mosquitoes, shimmered with silver brilliance, exuding a profound and mysterious Dao Rhyme aura.
The content of the cultivation technique recorded in the scroll was not too long, spanning thousands of words, accompanied by forty-nine illustrations. The content was alluring and bold, not suitable for outsiders.
Mu Yinghua glanced at it and immediately turned her head away, feeling embarrassed at the thought of using these unspeakable tricks in the future. It made her feel dizzy and overwhelmed.
Qin Muling calmly scanned through it and had already memorized the content of the cultivation technique. However, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Master, please forgive your foolish disciple. This cultivation technique is too obscure and difficult to understand. I'm afraid I need to seclude myself and carefully study it before I can start practicing."
"Is it difficult? Let me take a look," Emperor Xin Yu stared at Qin Muling in confusion. This little guy was the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, and there was no such thing as a bottleneck in his comprehension. In the past, as long as any cultivation manual came into his hands, he would be able to comprehend it smoothly after reading it a few times. How could there be a cultivation technique that he couldn't understand?
"It is indeed a bit difficult..." Qin Muling said, but he didn't reveal his true thoughts. Obviously, he was aware of Mu Yinghua's concerns, so even if he could understand it, he couldn't say it out loud.
Emperor Tong Ying softly said, "I have gained some insights from studying ancient texts. Why don't you come with me to seclude ourselves and study it together?"
Emperor Qing Huan gave her a disdainful look, "Since when did you become interested in studying ancient texts? Shouldn't it be my job to help with this kind of thing?"
"Forget it," Emperor Lan Hua retorted unceremoniously, "This peerless cultivation technique passed down from the upper realm can't be deciphered by just one person. I think we should all help together to solve this matter as soon as possible. What do you think, Mu Ling?"
Finally, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao made the final decision, "Stop arguing. How about I assist you in your cultivation?"
Qin Muling: "..."
Happy New Year, everyone! In the new year, let's work hard to update, and by the way, please give me some monthly votes as a guarantee! (End of this chapter)
