Chapter 208 The Only Goal Is To Eat Soft Food
Chapter 208: The Sole Goal is to Live Off Others
Qin Muling had long heard of Emperor Xin Yu's fame.
When he first entered the forbidden area of the Grotto-Heaven in the back mountains of the sect and saved Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan, the third-generation disciple of the founder of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace communicated with him through divine thoughts, but they had never met in person.
Relying on the ten billion merits of the Dao Court, Emperor Xin Yu finally woke up and was able to leave the forbidden area and walk freely, becoming the most reliable high-end strategic force of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. With her presence, certain things that the sect couldn't do in the past can now be put on the agenda.
Whether a Supreme Dao lineage has a Quasi-Saint Emperor presiding over it makes a huge difference in its position and influence in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. The influence of an injured and dormant Emperor, an Emperor who can still take action despite their injuries, and a peak state Emperor are all completely different.
In the back mountains of Imperial Dao Peak, ancient trees towered, and the forest and springs were tranquil. The clear spiritual spring water flowed and meandered, eventually converging into a clear pool covering an area of over a hundred acres at the foot of the cliff. The dense spiritual energy gathered into clouds, slowly drifting with the wind.
On a stone bench by the pool, a woman with a graceful figure and a myriad of manners sat quietly. She wore a luxurious deep purple dress, and a radiant glow enveloped her body, making it difficult to see her facial features.
Because of her presence, the entire back mountain area was filled with profound and mysterious Dao rhyme, unfathomable and irresistible.
Mu Yinghua brought Qin Muling forward and respectfully greeted her. In front of this woman, everyone in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was considered junior, so no one dared to act rashly.
When they were in the Dao Court, Emperor Qing Huan had observed Qin Muling from the shadows, but they had never met face to face.
For Qin Muling, this was the most powerful being he had encountered since arriving in this time and space. Her strength was unfathomable, and she was already close to the pinnacle of the Great Dao's laws.
Emperor Xin Yu turned her head slightly, her gentle eyes assessing the handsome and elegant young man in front of her. With a slight nod, the entire Imperial Dao Peak suddenly brightened, and an unfathomable and immeasurable power spread out, shielding and isolating all heavenly secrets and causality.
With a sweet and elegant voice carrying a faint majesty, she said, "To have an Innate Primordial Spirit Root take human form, even in the era when the founder of the sect achieved Dao, there was no such thing. Although I have seen some Innate beings in the depths of the chaotic void, most of them were cruel, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and greedy. Examples like you, who have awakened their intelligence and perfectly integrated into the cultivation world, are rare since the beginning of time."
"Mu Yinghua was fortunate to meet you, and it is also the fortune of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. She has already told me a lot about your various deeds, so today I decided to call you here for a chat. What are your aspirations for the sect? What are your views on the situation in the Extreme Void Starry Sky? And how do you plan to walk your path in the future? Feel free to speak your mind!"
Qin Muling felt a little nervous. Was this a face-to-face assessment by the Emperor? He had to satisfy her to pass smoothly.
Mu Yinghua smiled and said, "No need to be nervous. Just answer with what you think in your heart. You have made great contributions to the sect, so the sect will naturally not mistreat you."
She thought that Qin Muling might feel hesitant to speak up, so she spoke first to reassure him and make him feel less restrained.
"I don't have any thoughts," Qin Muling said calmly. "The matters outside are handled by my master and senior sisters. I just need to lie down and enjoy all the food, drinks, and comforts I want. Helping them in their Transcending Tribulation is just a small effort for me. So, for me, it's already great to keep living off others!"
Emperor Xin Yu: "..."
Mu Yinghua: "..."
Originally, they expected Qin Muling to say something ambitious, considering his background and roots. It was certain that he would achieve the Dao Fruit of a Quasi-Saint Emperor in the future, and even among his senior sisters who were close to him, there might be one or two who would achieve such a feat.
With more than one Quasi-Saint Emperor presiding over Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it was imaginable how prosperous and powerful it would become. Not to mention conquering the surrounding hostile forces, even standing on equal footing with the Dao Court would be a matter of course.
Little did they know that this young man had no lofty ambitions at all. His sole goal was to live off others, to keep living off others for a long time. This "simple and down-to-earth" idea... left them at a loss for words.
"Have you never thought about becoming the sect master of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the future?" Emperor Xin Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.
If this young man can hold the position of Supreme, it means that the future of the sect is closely tied to his luck, and there is no need to worry about other forces undermining it.
"That position belongs to the Master, I'm not interested!"
Qin Muling shook his head. He was indeed not interested in the position of the Master, only in the Master herself.
"But if your Master wants to revitalize the sect and make Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace the most powerful force in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, would you help her achieve her wish?" Emperor Xin Yu asked again.
Qin Muling's answer did not disappoint her this time: "If the Master truly desires it, I will definitely help her."
"That's good."
Emperor Xin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Since this young man didn't like to take charge, she would find a way to deepen the bond between Mu Yinghua and him, as well as with his senior sisters.
After some thought, she took out nine radiant symbols that emitted an invisible pressure. With a slight wave of her hand, the nine symbols turned into streams of light and flew into Qin Muling's body.
"Your cultivation in the Destiny Realm is still a bit low, not enough to protect yourself. So I specially refined a few life-saving methods for you. When you encounter insurmountable calamities, you can activate them to protect yourself and ensure your safety."
Emperor Xin Yu explained, feeling somewhat regretful. She had wanted to give Qin Muling more benefits, but her collections were still too advanced compared to his cultivation level. He couldn't use them at all, and carrying them would only be a burden. So it was better to wait, at least until he reached the level of True Immortal or above.
"Thank you, Emperor."
Qin Muling was quite satisfied. These life-saving cards personally refined by the Quasi-Saint Emperor were not something that anyone could possess. Even Mu Yinghua might not have them, let alone Yu Lingzhou, Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan, and Yue Yi Tianjun.
"Alright, let Mu Ling heal you now."
Mu Yinghua finally spoke up. Emperor Xin Yu's injuries were too severe, and there was no other way to solve them except for Qin Muling's Divine Ability and the vast amount of heavenly merits he possessed.
Qin Muling nodded and stood up after receiving permission. A pure and clear purple light radiated from his hands, enveloping Emperor Xin Yu's delicate body, silently merging with her.
Within the purple light, faint chaotic spiritual radiance emerged, dazzling and magnificent, carrying the ever-flowing Good Fortune spiritual intelligence and a profound and mysterious Dao rhyme that lightly permeated the surroundings.
After advancing to the Destiny Realm, the Good Fortune spiritual intelligence derived from the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed became even more abundant. Both the quantity and quality had made a leap, thus having an effect on the existence of the Quasi-Saint Emperor level.
Under Mu Yinghua's gaze, the purple light containing the inherent Good Fortune spiritual intelligence continuously merged into Emperor Xin Yu's body and soul, slowly and steadily repairing the hidden injuries in her soul and physical body. The dim life force began to show signs of recovery and growth.
As Qin Muling gradually increased his strength, a huge Azure Lotus shadow emerged from within him, enveloping him, Emperor Xin Yu, and Mu Yinghua. More Good Fortune spiritual intelligence poured into her body like converging rivers, bringing indescribable comfort and pleasure.
With sufficient essence of spiritual energy replenishment, Qin Muling persisted for half an hour before stopping.
"It feels pretty good!"
Emperor Xin Yu expressed her satisfaction. "You did well. Will you continue?"
"No, I won't."
Qin Muling, feeling a bit tired, said that he needed to rest and recover for a while in his current state before continuing.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone! This chapter is a bit short, but I'll make up for it tomorrow. By the way, please vote for this chapter. (End of this chapter)
