Chapter 454 Linghu Qingya: No One Else Can Envy My Junior Brother’S Good Fortune!
Chapter 454: Linghu Qingya: Little Junior Brother's Luck, Others Can't Envy It!
Within the towering and majestic mountain, Qin Muling and the other women, Linghu Xuelan included, stood in front of a gigantic mural that was several hundred zhang tall and thousands of zhang long, their expressions solemn.
This was an unbelievably massive cave, and standing before this mural made Qin Muling and the women feel like a group of ants looking up at a towering dragon. A vast, desolate, and majestic aura filled every inch of space here.
The mural had a simple and ancient style, and it seemed to depict a race of intelligent beings that resembled the human race. The content of the mural recorded their birth in this world, their reproduction and growth, their development and expansion, and their evolution into a civilization that defeated numerous powerful enemy races, gradually reaching the pinnacle of this world.
Scene after scene of epic war paintings, thrilling and intense strategic battles, and desperate fights against various formidable enemies. They were pushed to the brink of extinction, on the verge of annihilation, but miraculously managed to survive and turn the tide.
During its most glorious period, this civilization not only held supreme authority over the entire Great World, but also gained dominion over dozens of small and medium-sized worlds near the chaotic void. Countless top experts emerged within the clan, and the number of people under their rule reached trillions upon trillions.
However, even such a powerful civilization of cultivation was still unable to escape the fate of rise and fall. As this world gradually approached its demise, the entire clan exhausted its last bit of luck and eventually withered away in the river of time.
In the depths of the chaotic void today, perhaps there are still a few surviving individuals from this civilization, hiding in some hidden corner, barely clinging to life. However, they can never return to their former glory.
"...In the boundless chaotic void, there should be many examples like this, right? Great Worlds that were destroyed for various reasons, powerful intelligent races, and even beings that were infinitely close to the Saint Supreme realm, all unable to withstand the power of time and have already perished in the river of time?" After a long silence, Qin Muling spoke softly.
Linghu Xuelan nodded slightly, "That's for sure. Scenes like this are constantly unfolding in the past, present, and future because the rise and fall of yin and yang, the cycle of growth and decline, is the ultimate truth of the heavens. No existence can stop it, not even the legendary Saint Supreme."
Everything in the world has luck, intelligent beings, innate spiritual treasures, and the entire Great World itself. Without taking that final step of proving the Dao and transcending, it is impossible to avoid being bound by this supreme heavenly law.
A vague realization emerged in Qin Muling's heart: If a Primordial Origin Saint Supreme-level existence cannot be born among the human race in this time and space, then after countless kalpas of long years, it is possible that the race will gradually decline and eventually perish in the river of time due to the depletion of their luck.
Of course, if there is a great existence at the Saint level to protect them, the luck of the clan will naturally be prosperous and unending. In most cases, there is no need to worry about the fate of decline and extinction.
Qin Muling pondered, "If in the future, I am able to... but I should belong to the innate beings and cannot be considered purely part of the human race, right?"
Emperor Bing Chan smiled and said, "This is not a problem. The key lies in your own attitude. As long as you are willing to favor a certain intelligent race, they will receive the supreme blessing of luck and prosper in the world!"
With the status of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, even though it is not yet a Primordial Origin Saint Supreme, its influence on the luck of the affiliated forces is already unbelievably strong. Just look at how much benefit the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has gained.
Therefore, Linghu Xuelan, as the highest leader of the Monster Emperor Kingdom, would eagerly come to the Extreme Void Starry Sky even when she was still injured, and willingly lower herself to get close to and please Qin Muling, without any arrogance or aloofness as the Monster Emperor Supreme.
This is not only for her own hopes of achieving enlightenment, but also for the future of billions of Beast Race people. Otherwise, with the increasing influence of the human cultivators, the entire Beast Race will eventually decline and become completely subservient to the human race, even slaves, and perish in the river of time.
From the perspective of Monster Emperor Linghu Xuelan, she was willing to completely turn against the Genesis Star Palace's leader and even start a full-scale war in order to regain ownership of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. This is because it is too important to the Monster Emperor Kingdom, to the point where Linghu Xuelan cannot bear the consequences of losing it.
As long as Qin Muling receives the protection of luck from Qin Muling, the future of the Monster Emperor Kingdom will not only advance further, but at least maintain its current position and influence. It will still be a transcendent-level force that ranks among the upper realms.
Qin Muling remained silent for a while and said softly, "I understand. Anyway... I will never leave my senior sisters in the future. You can rest assured."
"Of course, we definitely believe in you!"
Linghu Qingya hugged him and kissed him, saying with a smile, since the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus has taken human form, it naturally has human desires. As long as they do their best to accommodate and satisfy him in this aspect, the future of the senior sisters will be guaranteed.
Qin Muling joked and played with them for a while, then refocused his attention on the giant mural in front of him, carefully observing it for a moment, feeling that he had vaguely grasped its mysteries.
"After looking at it for so long, have you discovered anything, junior brother?"
Linghu Xuelan asked softly. She also had some guesses, but she was not entirely sure in her heart.
"I can give it a try, but I can't say what the consequences will be."
Qin Muling replied. This matter carries a great risk, and perhaps he should be the one to test the waters. With the protection of the supreme blessing of luck, he should be able to withstand it.
Emperor Bing Huang was somewhat worried: "Should I go first?"
"It's okay, I will protect myself," Qin Muling said firmly. Seeing this, the senior sisters didn't say anything more, but secretly prepared themselves to act with full force if anything went wrong.
Emperor Bing Chan looked around. At this time, no other group of cultivators had arrived here yet. Even if they did, it wouldn't be a concern. With the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore and the Infinite Genesis Bell, along with the triple protection of the Azure Lotus phantom, they could withstand any powerful enemy for a long time.
Qin Muling carefully observed the mural, focusing on a golden-armored creature with wings on its back, an eagle's head, and a serrated heavy sword in its hand. She tried to release a strand of her divine consciousness and cautiously make contact with it.
In an instant, the surroundings shook, and Qin Muling felt the space change. The scene before her had already transformed.
It was a vast and magnificent open-air hall. The golden-armored creature with the eagle's head, standing over ten feet tall on the mural, was now swinging its serrated heavy sword and charging fiercely. It left a long trail of afterimages behind it, and its terrifying sword aura, accompanied by a rolling pressure, swept through the air.
However, Linghu Xuelan and the other women were nowhere to be seen. It was unknown where they had been temporarily transported to.
Qin Muling's eyes turned cold as she raised the Primordial Blood Purgatory Halberd. With a sudden surge of mana, the halberd emitted a bright light. Countless halberd shadows stirred the space, forming a blood moon that swiftly rushed up to meet the opponent's ferocious attacks without fear.
"Boom!"
A loud noise, like a bell tolling, shook Qin Muling's blood and involuntarily made her take a step back.
The golden-armored creature with the eagle's head retreated three steps, shook its head, and swung its serrated heavy sword, creating numerous sword flower afterimages. It then flapped its huge wings and pounced again, attacking with cunning and ruthlessness.
Qin Muling quickly assessed the situation. This opponent was stronger than an ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperor, but not as strong as herself at the moment. With the power of the Primordial Blood Purgatory Halberd, she didn't need to fear the opponent in a direct confrontation.
She swung the halberd once again to meet the attack. Within just a few rounds, she forced the opponent to retreat continuously. The golden armor on its body became damaged in multiple places, and dark purple blood gushed out, making a dull sound as it hit the ground.
As victory seemed within reach, Qin Muling suddenly noticed a faint black aura enveloping the halberd. Even her own palm was affected, and her mana began to rapidly drain.
Another one of these deadly curses? Qin Muling's eyes grew colder. With a slight thought, the hazy Azure Lotus phantom reappeared. Under the radiant purple aura, the black aura quickly dissipated.
Even the movements of the golden-armored creature with the eagle's head became sluggish and hesitant, seemingly quite fearful of the Azure Lotus' radiant purple aura.
Qin Muling remained calm and controlled the expanding Azure Lotus phantom, instantly enveloping the opponent within it.
The creature let out a horrified roar. Its aura became chaotic, and its ferocity greatly diminished. As thick black mist billowed out from its body, its size rapidly shrank.
After a few breaths, Qin Muling predictably killed the creature with a single strike. The rolling black mist dissipated in the radiant purple aura, leaving only a fist-sized luck life force that flew into the luck canopy above her head.
Her vision blurred for a moment, and the scene changed once again. Emperor Bing Chan's soft and gentle voice sounded in her ears, "Junior Brother, are you okay?"
Qin Muling snapped back to reality and found herself still standing in front of the giant mural. The senior sisters were all gathered around her, their beautiful eyes filled with concern.
In their eyes, it seemed that Qin Muling had just been lost in thought and hadn't shown any other abnormal reactions.
At the same time, Qin Muling noticed that a delicate and compact dark-golden scroll had quietly appeared in her hand. It was heavy, and its surface was covered in intricate and dense dark patterns.
"I understand now. My consciousness was probably pulled into this mural, where I fought against that creature..." Qin Muling explained briefly. As for the scroll in her hand, it should be the spoils obtained after passing the test.
"I see!" Linghu Xuelan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was a rule established by some ancient and powerful predecessors.
Regardless of who it is, as long as they can pass the harsh tests inside, all cultivators can obtain corresponding opportunities and rewards based on the difficulty level.
"Junior apprentice, what is this? Can I take a look?"
"Well, go ahead!"
Qin Muling handed the scroll in her hand to Emperor Bing Huang. She gently unfolded it and discovered that the unknown material, as thin as a cicada's wings, was covered with numerous silver characters as small as sand grains, densely packed with thousands of words.
Although this kind of ancient celestial script was unheard of, the powerful divine consciousness attached to the scroll made it easy for the women to comprehend the information it contained.
What was recorded on it was a rather profound technique for refining tools, which was completely different from the inheritance system of the upper realm and the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"This is a good thing. You can take it back to Senior Sister Yu Lingzhou. In addition, those senior sisters who are interested in tool refinement will have the opportunity to learn from it and verify it."
Qin Muling pondered to herself. Her gaze towards the giant mural was somewhat fervent. How many different creatures were there inside? If they could all be killed by passing the tests, the benefits obtained would be unimaginable.
Of course, if one were to fail in the consciousness space and fail to kill the opponent, the fate of the cultivator could be easily imagined. They would undoubtedly be directly devoured by the opponent's divine soul, dying without a trace!
"This time, let me give it a try, Senior Sister."
Linghu Qingya said with a smile. She wanted to see how lucky she would be.
"Senior Sister, if you feel inadequate, you can try temporarily increasing your combat power by burning a large amount of lifespan. As long as you can withstand the tests, it's fine."
Qin Muling instructed. Anyway, as long as she was present, even heavy injuries could be easily healed without any sequelae.
"Okay, Senior Sister will remember that!"
Linghu Qingya nodded. With a slight sweep of her beautiful eyes, she chose her target: a creature with a long spear in its hand, riding a ferocious war beast with the head of a black-armored goat.
In an instant, her delicate body stiffened slightly, indicating that her divine consciousness had been pulled into the consciousness space.
After dozens of breaths, a hint of paleness appeared on Linghu Qingya's face. Then, she opened her eyes, and her aura was slightly dimmer than before.
Qin Muling waved her hand, and a purple-blue radiance filled with the vitality of Good Fortune enveloped Linghu Qingya's slender and plump body, instantly repairing all hidden injuries.
Linghu Qingya let out a gentle breath and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I suffered a little setback. It was mainly because the curse power of that evil spirit was too troublesome. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so troublesome."
"It's okay, as long as you can pass safely."
Qin Muling said. As long as she had their backs, the safety of her senior sisters was not a problem.
However, this time, Linghu Qingya's hands were empty. She didn't obtain any opportunities, except for a little bit of luck power when she killed the creature in the consciousness space.
Obviously, whether there was a chance to obtain more benefits depended on the cultivator's own luck and fortune. Not everyone could have the heaven-defying luck like Qin Muling.
"In that case, let's all give it a try!"
Emperor Bing Chan suggested. After two previous attempts, everyone already had a grasp of the situation, so the next steps would be easier.
Qin Muling contemplated and said, "Senior sisters can be divided into two groups and take turns entering to try, in order to prevent other cultivators from causing trouble outside."
If everyone's divine consciousness entered the consciousness space to fight, it would inevitably affect their perception of external crises, so it was necessary to arrange enough power to take turns on guard duty.
"Very well, let's do it this way."
Linghu Xuelan agreed and made a simple allocation. She would be in charge of one group, while Qin Muling would be in charge of the other, taking turns entering the consciousness space to undergo the tests.
Then, Qin Muling, Emperor Bing Chan, and the other nine women, including Emperor Ziqing, each selected their targets, and their divine consciousness was instantly pulled into the consciousness space.
With the experience from last time, Qin Muling's speed in passing the test was the fastest. She simply released the illusion of the Azure Lotus, and the blazing purple light surged out, burning the creature that resembled a giant ape into ashes.
When she opened her eyes again, besides the harvest of her destiny and fortune, Qin Muling held a shining ink jade-encrusted golden scabbard in her hand. It was a Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, which was considered a good gain.
After a short while, Emperor Bing Chan and the other women returned one after another, but their faces were not quite normal, and they had all suffered some injuries to varying degrees. Among them, Emperor Bing Huang had the worst luck. Her mana was depleted, and she suffered severe injuries to her spiritual soul. She even lost two drops of her life essence blood before barely passing the test. The main reason was that the creature she chose was too powerful.
"Sister, remember to be more cautious next time and don't choose those difficult opponents."
Qin Muling said, and skillfully activated her innate Divine Ability. As beams of purple light fell, their injuries quickly healed.
Emperor Bing Huang, elegant and graceful, sighed with frustration. She didn't say anything, but her performance this time was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"...So there isn't even one good thing?"
Emperor Bing Chan looked at the empty hands of the other eight women and couldn't help but feel annoyed. They fought fiercely in the consciousness space, and it wasn't easy to win, so why wasn't there any additional reward?
"There's nothing we can do. Little junior brother's luck is something others can't envy."
Linghu Qingya sighed slightly. If it were other cultivators, most of them would be grateful just to come back alive. How could they dare to expect more?
Linghu Xuelan smiled and said, "There's no need to rush about this. Let's take it slowly! As long as we try enough times, everyone will eventually see the rewards. Now it's our turn!"
So, this Monster Emperor Supreme, along with Linghu Qingya and the nine women including Jinluan Emperor, selected their targets in the mural one after another, and their divine consciousness was pulled into the consciousness space.
In a blink of an eye, Linghu Xuelan was the first to return, and she passed without any damage. After all, her cultivation strength was the strongest among the senior sisters.
In her hand, a delicate and exquisite jade pendant shimmered, unexpectedly a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Afterwards, Linghu Qingya and the other girls returned one after another, most of them injured and without any additional gains. Qin Muling continued to help them heal their injuries.
This happened several times, and the gap between Qin Muling and the senior sisters gradually widened. He was always the fastest to pass through, and he rarely came back empty-handed. He always managed to obtain good things, such as Law Weapons, Law Treasures, pills, talismans, and martial arts manuals... There were countless items, including several Peerless Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
However, the situation for the senior sisters became somewhat awkward. They would only receive additional gains once in more than ten attempts, and the quality was generally average, incomparable to Qin Muling's gains.
Fortunately, the senior sisters had become accustomed to Qin Muling's extraordinary abilities and didn't hold any grudges. As long as they could sleep well with him after returning, all their troubles and frustrations would disappear.
After a while, as a large number of rays of light flashed at the entrance of the cave, cultivators finally began to find their way here.
Linghu Xuelan and the other girls became nervous and, at Qin Muling's signal, moved to a different location. Emperor Bing Chan cautiously took out a set of twelve cloud-steaming and misty flags, shining with starlight, and set them up. Then, he activated the main formation plate, which was also an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure from the collection of the master of the Genesis Star Palace.
As the light and shadows flickered and changed, the formation smoothly activated and operated. Then, the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore and the Infinite Genesis Bell served as the second and third layers of defense. No matter how many cultivators outside launched a strong attack, it would be impossible to break through in a short period of time.
The many cultivators watched from a distance and, without knowing the details, didn't dare to come over and disturb. They were busy patrolling and inspecting the surroundings, hoping to find the opportunities they had been longing for.
As time passed, the number of cultivators present increased, each forming their own groups and cautiously guarding against their surroundings.
Seeing that they had no intention of turning hostile, Linghu Xuelan continued to harvest the benefits from the giant mural. If there were any special circumstances, she would have the senior sisters communicate with Qin Muling through divine sense, trying to wake them up as soon as possible...
In a short time, some cultivators finally discovered the secrets of the giant mural and began to imitate them one after another.
Unfortunately, their cultivation levels were generally weaker, and even if they successfully killed the creatures in the consciousness space and managed to come out alive, they still suffered serious injuries.
As for those with even weaker cultivation levels and poor luck, their fate often ended with being killed by the projected creatures inside and having their souls devoured, leaving behind lifeless bodies.
Despite this, the cultivators remained enthusiastic and rushed forward one after another to compete for the opportunities within the mural.
