Chapter 562 Who In The World Doesn’T Understand Qin?
In the chaos and void,
In the Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven's bronze Dao Palace, where spiritual mist rises and the Dao Rhyme permeates the hall, a group of quasi-saints, including Shuoyun Dao Venerable, is entertaining guests.
In addition, representatives from Jade Incense Great World, Celestial Beast Great World, Bloodthirst Great World, Hidden Edge Great World, Confucian Saint Academy, and many other Transcendent Level forces are present.
Amongst these unexpected guests, the leader is a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a simple appearance and a dignified expression. Judging from his aura, he should also be a human cultivator, and the thirty or so men, women, and children behind him are the same.
However, even with the discernment of Shuoyun Dao Venerable and the other quasi-saints, it seems that they cannot see through the depths of these mysterious guests. They seem to be enveloped in a kind of ethereal and profound, unparalleled noble aura, completely different from the aura of the chaos and void. This makes the quasi-saints present feel a slight sense of unease.
The leader of this group, the middle-aged man, introduces himself as Ming Song Dao Venerable, from the legendary Heavenly World. This time, he is following the orders of a high-ranking figure in Heavenly World to search for the escaped Innate Primordial Spirit Seed in the mortal realm.
Originally, the first reaction of Shuoyun Dao Venerable and the other powerful beings was suspicion. However, after a brief conversation, they had to start believing the other party's words.
"...Fellow Daoist Ming Song, that Innate Primordial Spirit Seed has already grown into the World Creating Azure Lotus, and now it has taken human form, possessing unfathomable divine power. It may not be easy for you to capture it and bring it back to Heavenly World, right?" Shuoyun Dao Venerable said softly, speaking at a moderate pace.
The war has been going on for over two years now, and without realizing it, the battle between the allied forces and Primeval Demon Palace has completely reached a stalemate. They have suffered heavy casualties but are helpless.
On the contrary, the overall strength of Primeval Demon Palace has become stronger and stronger. Every two or three months, a large number of dormant elders would recover to their peak state, or a massive amount of Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine resources would be produced. Alternatively, a large group of high-level cultivators would successfully overcome the tribulations of Taiyi and Great Principle.
Of course, the most important thing is the female cultivators from the Demon Palace who have dual-cultivated with Qin Muling. Their cultivation realms have made rapid progress, and the total number has exceeded tens of millions.
All of this has made the overall fortune of Primeval Demon Palace rise day by day, narrowing the gap with the allied forces, and naturally making the defense of the Heavenly Dao's boundary formation more stable.
So now, the allied forces are in an awkward situation. They can't defeat the enemy, the enemy refuses to negotiate, and they are unwilling to retreat. As a result, Shuoyun Dao Venerable is constantly frustrated and distressed.
Just at this moment, Ming Song Dao Venerable suddenly arrived, bringing a group of followers, claiming that they have a way to capture the human form of the World Creating Azure Lotus.
Shuoyun Dao Venerable, of course, is half-believing and half-doubting, with obvious resistance deep in his heart.
So many elite forces from Great World have gathered here, isn't it all for the sake of plotting for the World Creating Azure Lotus? If it is truly taken away by the people from Heavenly World, what will happen to these forces of the Dao lineage? Won't the hope of everyone achieving eternal transcendence and becoming saints be shattered?
Mingsong Dao Venerable chuckled deeply, "The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed belongs to Heavenly World, this is an indisputable fact. Whether it has taken human form or not, it cannot change this point!"
"Since we have come, we will not allow it to continue wandering outside. Heavenly World is its true destination! So this time, we must bring it back, and no one can stop us!"
Shuoyun Dao Venerable remained silent, while Jieye Buddha Venerable, Miaoyuan Dao Venerable, Huayang Dao Venerable, Fengyi Dao Venerable, and other quasi-sages had expressionless faces.
Although the Primeval Demon Palace is currently impenetrable, preventing the top-level commanders of the coalition forces from making any progress, there is still a glimmer of hope, isn't there?
If Qin Muling is truly captured by these guys and taken to the unattainable and mysterious Heavenly World, won't all the hopes in the chaotic void of the myriad worlds be completely cut off?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Chengyu, the new spokesperson of the Confucian Holy Academy, is an old man with white hair and eyebrows. He looks rigid and upright, exuding righteousness.
Hearing Mingsong Dao Venerable's domineering declaration, Chengyu couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Mingsong, although the World Creating Azure Lotus comes from Heavenly World, we have already put in too much effort to trace its whereabouts. Now that you want to take it away, aren't you depriving the cultivators of the chaotic void and the myriad worlds of their hopes?"
Mingsong Dao Venerable glanced at him coldly and spoke indifferently, "What will you do?"
"It's simple. We need to borrow the World Creating Azure Lotus to comprehend the mysteries of the Primordial Origin and eternal transcendence. So we ask that you leave it with us for at least one Yuanhui, and after the time is up, you can let it return to Heavenly World!" Chengyu said.
"..."
Mingsong Dao Venerable's expression turned cold, his thin lips tightly sealed, and the atmosphere in the field noticeably cooled down.
If it weren't for the fact that they still needed the help of these people and the presence of so many high-level cultivators from Great World, whom even they feared, Mingsong Dao Venerable would have turned his back long ago.
A group of lowly beings from Great World, dare to covet the World Creating Azure Lotus? That is a forbidden treasure belonging only to the top-notch experts of Heavenly World. Do you think you are worthy?
Shuoyun Dao Venerable's eyes flickered slightly as he said meaningfully, "What's wrong? Fellow Daoist Mingsong, do you find it difficult? Since this matter cannot be separated from the cooperation of the cultivators from the myriad worlds, it is reasonable for us to make some demands, isn't it?"
Dao Venerable Ming Song wondered if Dao Venerable Shuo Yun intended to take away the World Creating Azure Lotus and use them like rags, discarding them once they were done. Dao Venerable Shuo Yun would never accept that, even if it meant turning against them right now!
The Thunderous Great World's Buddha, Jaya Buddha, calmly rotated his Buddhist beads and slowly spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Ming Song, the matter of the World Creating Azure Lotus is a supreme opportunity for achieving enlightenment. We have no reason to give up. If you cannot understand our reasonable demands, then our cooperation cannot continue."
This is a matter of principle, with no possibility of compromise. If Dao Venerable Ming Song refuses, even if they are envoys from the Heavenly World, the big shots present would not hesitate to join forces and keep them here forever.
Several subtle glances were exchanged among the quasi-sages, reaching a tacit understanding. Now it depends on the reaction of these envoys from the Heavenly World.
Anyway, the Heavenly World does not have a true Primordial Origin Saint Supreme. At best, they are pseudo-saints and quasi-saints. The various heavens and worlds in the chaotic void do not need to pay too much attention to them.
Dao Venerable Ming Song's expression changed slightly, and his gaze became serious. With their cultivation level, how could they not sense the subtle thoughts of these powerful beings?
If they dare to refuse stubbornly, they might not even be able to leave this Bronze Dao Palace now.
"Alright, since you have this idea, we naturally have to be gracious!" Dao Venerable Ming Song nodded slowly. "When we infiltrate the Heavenly Dao Formation Array of the Primeval Demon Palace, your people will be responsible for stopping those powerful demonic cultivators, while we deal with the World Creating Azure Lotus. As long as we can cooperate sincerely, we will definitely succeed!"
Next, the two sides began to discuss the specific deployment of their secret operation. In order to ensure success, many details had to be carefully considered to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After several hours, all the plans were finalized, and Dao Venerable Shuo Yun said with satisfaction:
"Alright, please rest for a while, Fellow Daoists. After we gather enough manpower, we will act together!"
"Then we will wait for your good news." Dao Venerable Ming Song nodded in acknowledgment. Several elders came over and led them to a hall that served as a guest room for them to rest.
After entering the palace, when the elders who led the way took their leave, Dao Venerable Ming Song's gaze suddenly became sinister and deep, like a fierce beast choosing its prey.
A silent girl checked the hall without saying a word, then took out several sets of formation flags and set them up. Layers of bright light quietly emerged, isolating the interior from the outside environment.
"These despicable ants actually dare to bargain with the great Heavenly World? They are simply outrageous, how dare they!" Dao Venerable Ming Song couldn't help but angrily rebuke, his killing intent surging, and his teeth grinding.
"Exactly, as the noble envoys of the Heavenly World, instead of bowing and fawning, they are thinking of sitting on an equal footing with us. They deserve to die!" Another proud and cold-looking old man echoed.
The elegant and charming woman whispered, "But for now, we still have to endure it. We can only teach them a lesson after we finish our business and capture the World Creating Azure Lotus."
Dao Venerable Ming Song fell silent. The Heavenly World and these lower Great Worlds in the chaotic void were separated by an unimaginable gap, and the barriers of time and space were too strong to break. Communication between the two realms was extremely difficult, let alone sending a large number of people.
When they, as envoys, were able to successfully descend, it was because a few big shots from the Heavenly World personally took action and paid a considerable price to make it happen.
Although they had now discovered the whereabouts of the World Creating Azure Lotus, there were so many powerful beings guarding them that their own strength was simply not enough. They had no choice but to reveal their identities and seek help from these lower Great Worlds.
Dao Venerable Ming Song quickly regained his composure and said, "Indeed, we cannot lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small matter. The Heavenly World is unlikely to provide us with enough support, so we can only use kind words to stabilize them and capture the World Creating Azure Lotus."
Therefore, the group of envoys began to discuss in low voices:
"The spatial treasure we brought can carry no more than three thousand cultivators to infiltrate the Heavenly Dao Formation Array. Is this strength enough?"
"Considering the unexpected, it should be enough. After all, we only need them to temporarily hold back the powerful beings from the Primeval Demon Palace, so that we can seize the World Creating Azure Lotus."
"Yes, that makes sense. After all, they are not our people. It doesn't matter even if they all die in battle!"
"After capturing the World Creating Azure Lotus, we can immediately use the secret treasure to communicate with the Heavenly World's gate, allowing the Lord Saint to guide us back. As for how these lowly Great Worlds will fight, it is not our concern!"
"However, since the World Creating Azure Lotus has already taken human form and its Divine Ability power is not inferior to that of a quasi-saint, can our means deal with it?"
"Don't worry, this is the Soul-Slaying Spirit Thorn personally refined by several Lord Saints. As long as it hits, there is a great chance of erasing the World Creating Azure Lotus' intelligence, causing it to return to its original state and become an existence no different from an Innate spiritual object. This will make it easier to collect."
Dao Venerable Ming Song took out a two-foot-long, dull and inconspicuous slender bone thorn and examined it carefully.
In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, this bone thorn seemed to be an ordinary entry-level Law Weapon, something that even low-level disciples might not pay attention to.
However, in front of cultivators with sufficient cultivation level, the layers of unimaginably complex array restrictions contained within it, as well as the deep and silent despair that resembled a Transcendent Level black hole, were enough to make them shudder.
Once it erupts, its terrifying power is enough to completely grind away all the Dao laws within a specific range. Even the legendary World Creating Azure Lotus would not be able to withstand its destructive power!
"Unless it is truly a Primordial Origin Saint Supreme in the true sense, it absolutely cannot withstand the power of this treasure!"
Dao Venerable Ming Song's expression became solemn. "Several Lord Saints have entrusted this matter with great importance. It can only succeed and not fail. The ownership of the World Creating Azure Lotus and the birth of the first Primordial Origin Saint Supreme are major events that are enough to completely overturn the existing order of the heavens and myriad worlds. We must ensure that everything is under the control of the Heavenly World!"
The subordinates around them all nodded solemnly, except for a young girl in a beautiful and elegant green dress who asked softly:
"Senior Brother, if we successfully capture the World Creating Azure Lotus in the future, which Lord Saint from the Heavenly World will refine and devour it to achieve the immortal and indestructible Primordial Origin Saint Supreme Dao Fruit that can withstand Myriad Tribulations?"
Dao Venerable Ming Song's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp as he coldly stared at the young girl, asking, "Qing Yu, what do you mean by that? Who told you? What do you know?"
The atmosphere around them slightly tensed. Although the men, women, and children remained silent, their eyes carried an indescribable meaning.
Qing Yu smiled and said, "I just said it casually. After all, the one who will be able to achieve sainthood in the future is the object we all need to pledge our loyalty to, isn't it?"
Where there are people, there is a world of martial arts. This statement is actually somewhat limited. It should be said that where there are intelligent beings, there is a world of martial arts.
The higher-ups of the Heavenly World have never been a united front. Several Lord Saints each represent their own massive factions. There are many hidden struggles and deceptions among them.
There is only one World Creating Azure Lotus, but the Holy Venerables who hold the highest authority in the Heavenly World all want it, which makes things difficult.
Mingsong Dao Venerable stared at Qingyu coldly for a long time before flicking his sleeve and saying stiffly, "This matter will naturally be decided by the Holy Venerables after discussion. We don't need to worry about it. It's not something you and I can interfere with!"
Qingyu calmly said, "I have no intention of overstepping my boundaries. It's just that a unique and supreme divine object like the World Creating Azure Lotus would be a waste to directly refine and devour. If it can grow safely to the Primordial Origin Saint Supreme realm, perhaps it can bring forth more Primordial Origin Saint Supremes?"
Mingsong Dao Venerable angrily said, "What do you know? This is the will of the Holy Venerables. You have no right to question it! If you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for disregarding our camaraderie!"
As a trusted subordinate of a high-ranking Saint Venerable, Mingsong Dao Venerable naturally understood that Qingyu's viewpoint was correct, but it was not the desired outcome for the figure behind him.
The advantage of directly refining and devouring the World Creating Azure Lotus is that one can instantly become a saint without the need for a long wait, and it completely eliminates the hope of other competitors becoming saints.
At that time, the Saint Venerable would be the only Primordial Origin Saint Supreme in the Heavenly World, and no one else, no force or faction, would have any room to contend. They would only have to bow down and submit to him.
As for whether other Holy Venerables would like to see such a situation arise, it was not a question that Mingsong Dao Venerable needed to consider. He was only responsible to his own master.
"Alright, Senior Brother Mingsong, you are the leader of this operation, and I will naturally follow your orders!"
Qingyu smiled brightly, slightly bowed, and no longer questioned.
However, the people in this team are not all from the same family or clan. Each of them has the shadow of one or several important figures behind them. Who knows what they are thinking?
Heavenly World has been waiting for the birth of the first Primordial Origin Saint Supreme for far too long. Now that they see the dawn, many people's thoughts inevitably become excited, anxious, and restless.
A day and night passed, and the welcoming elder of Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven appeared again, politely reporting that the personnel for the operation had been prepared and inviting Mingsong Dao Venerable and his group to come for a discussion.
...
Primeval Demon Palace.
At this moment, Qin Muling was working in the medicinal garden. Sensing something, he stopped his actions and looked up at the vast and boundless azure sky, lost in thought.
"Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Su Mengqing asked sensitively.
"We... may soon be in trouble!"
Qin Muling withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice.
Just now, Fengyi Dao Venerable from Jade Incense Great World informed Qin Muling through a secret message that a special envoy from Heavenly World was coming, and made it clear that they had means specifically targeting the World Creating Azure Lotus, urging him to be vigilant and so on.
Immediately, the expressions of the senior sisters around him became serious.
"Junior Brother, what's going on? Could it be that those guys have come up with something new again?"
Zai Mozun held Qin Muling's waist and asked with concern.
"A special envoy from Heavenly World has come to erase my spiritual wisdom and take me back to Heavenly World for refining and devouring."
Qin Muling said, with the information from Fengyi Dao Venerable and his own divination divine ability, the whole situation was no longer a secret to him.
Even the so-called Holy Venerables from Heavenly World, Qin Muling had some vague judgments.
The faces of the senior sisters around him instantly turned cold as frost. "How can this be? Let's go see the eldest senior sister together and give those guys an unforgettable lesson!"
Ying Yu Mo Zun asked, "Junior Brother, how did you find out about this? Is it another warning from divination? Or..."
Qin Muling did not hide it. "It was a message from Fengyi Dao Venerable of Jade Incense Great World, and other forces of the same lineage also had a share."
Just as Qin Muling was speaking, Miao Yuan Dao Venerable from Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven, as well as Hazy Moon Divine Palace, Thunderous Sound Great World, Celestial Beast Great World, and other transcendent-level forces, had sent messages to Qin Muling through some female quasi-saints.
Not only were the things they said similar, but without exception, they urged Qin Muling to prepare quickly and not to be caught by the special envoy from Heavenly World.
Several female quasi-saints even bluntly stated that their people would turn against Heavenly World at the right time, cooperating with the powerful beings of Primeval Demon Palace to kill all those special envoys from Heavenly World.
This situation left Qin Muling somewhat speechless. Is it really true that there is no one in the world who is not connected to him?
For the sake of his safety, both friendly and hostile forces were unexpectedly joining hands at this time.
But thinking about it carefully, the internal logic of this matter is not difficult to understand. Only by leaving the World Creating Azure Lotus in the chaotic void can everyone have a chance. Once it returns to Heavenly World and is refined and devoured by some important figure, all the other powerful beings will lose their thoughts. Who can accept that?
Su Mengqing decisively said, "Even if they have warned us, this matter is still too dangerous and unpredictable. We must prepare quickly!"
After a moment, Haoyue Mozun, who was sitting in the center of the Heavenly Dao Formation, learned of the news, and so did the other high-level figures.
"... Do they have a way to secretly infiltrate the Heavenly Dao Formation? That is to be expected,"
Haoyue Mozun pondered and said, "Then let's strengthen the protective force around Junior Brother. Arrange all necessary means and see what tricks they have."
Zai Mozun said, "From now on, Junior Brother should not leave our side. We'll deal with them first!"
All the women had no objections to this. As long as Qin Muling was there, the sky of Primeval Demon Palace would not collapse, and any other troubles would be insignificant.
Qin Muling hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you give me some more world origin? I am only one step away from the Primordial Origin Saint Supreme realm. If I can take that step as soon as possible..."
Haoyue Mozun exchanged a glance with the quasi-saints and said, "That's not a problem. After this matter is resolved, let Senior Sister Su take you there. The remaining world origins in the sect should be enough for you. If it's still not enough, we can find another solution for you."
Over the years, most of the world origins, as well as a large amount of heavenly and earthly merits and other treasures, in Primeval Demon Palace had been given to Qin Muling. The high-level figures of Primeval Demon Palace never hesitated in this regard.
Qin Muling agreed. The high-level figures of Heavenly World would not willingly give up the World Creating Azure Lotus either, so after this incident, they would definitely spare no expense and continue to send people to descend.
Moreover, the people who descended this time would undoubtedly be even more dangerous and troublesome, so Qin Muling's timely attainment of sainthood became even more important.
Several hours later, the camp of the allied forces suddenly swarmed with hundreds of times more high-level cultivators than usual. They controlled their escape lights and arrived outside the Heavenly Dao Formation, one after another, large-scale integrated defensive formations took shape, and countless divine abilities and spells shone brightly as they launched an unprecedented fierce attack.
At the same time, an inconspicuous shuttle, no larger than a pebble, silently infiltrated deep into the light curtain of the Heavenly Dao Formation...
