Chapter 444: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: Borrow Qin Muling? Absolutely impossible!
As expected, the negotiations with the envoys from the Demon Path Ancestral Court failed.
This kind of small matter is not worth the personal appearance of the Quiet Brahman Heavenly Lady. The one who rejected them was an Empress from the Buddha Domain Pure Land, and her approach was a bit harsh. She directly stated that those captured individuals had seen the error of their ways and had decided to cleanse their hearts, transform themselves, and convert to Buddhism, severing all ties with the Demon Path Ancestral Court.
To prove her words were not false, she ordered a few of those unlucky souls to come forward and sternly reprimand the envoys.
The captives, who had already been controlled by the Divine Ability of Buddhism, cooperated quite well, infuriating the envoys of the Demon Path Ancestral Court. They gritted their teeth and vowed to make the shameless Buddha Domain Pure Land pay the price.
However, Buddhism and the Demon Path cannot coexist, and similar scenes have been commonplace in the past. Due to the natural restraining effect of Divine Abilities, even though the Demon Path Ancestral Court has more people and a greater number of experts, they have always been unable to overcome the Buddha Domain Pure Land and have repeatedly suffered losses.
After sending away the envoys, there were no major events happening inside or outside the sect. Therefore, Qin Muling spent another three days accompanying her Master, Mu Yinghua, replenishing her Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme.
Then, a few days before the six-month deadline, Emperor Bing Chan and Linghu Qingya arrived with their women, not giving the Female Cultivators Union Alliance any opportunity for delay.
Qin Muling didn't say anything, but before leaving this time, she had a private conversation with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, Zi Shi Yun, and the Quiet Brahman Heavenly Lady.
"...The alliance led by the Demon Path Ancestral Court has already gained the support of the high-level members of twenty-one Transcendent Level forces. There are still seven Transcendent Level forces hesitating and observing, and it's uncertain whether they will be swayed in the future! So, we must do something."
The elegant and dignified Quiet Brahman Heavenly Lady said with a serious expression, "The key is that it's not easy to take action. Their main target is Mu Ling, and besides that, they covet the vast wealth and resources of our alliance. If we want to stop them, we must offer more chips to win over those Transcendent Level forces to our side."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao remained expressionless. "They want chips that we indeed possess, but it's impossible to just give them away, especially when they want to borrow Mu Ling... How could we agree to that?"
In the eyes of the outside world, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is now a true Transcendent Level fat piece of meat. Countless beautiful female immortals, vast and fertile territories, nearly endless Heavenly Medicine resources, and numerous Innate Spiritual Treasures...
Most importantly, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has Qin Muling, a child of luck, and he is likely the only child of luck in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, a special existence favored by the will of the space-time Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, the various Divine Abilities he possesses have already been partially revealed to the outside world. Therefore, those Apex Level experts have a clearer understanding of his importance.
So, the opposition to the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, led by the Demon Path Ancestral Court, was established so smoothly mainly because the expected benefits were too great.
Faced with the aggressive stance of the Demon Path Ancestral Court, the Divine Phoenix Palace and the Buddha Domain Pure Land have considered taking action and trying to win over some forces that had previously had friendly relations to divide and weaken the opposing camp.
However, the conditions offered by these forces were excessive. For example, they demanded huge assistance, cheap purchases of large quantities of rare resources, and political alliances. Moreover, they all coincidentally requested to borrow Qin Muling, which made it even more unacceptable for the high-level members of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
Therefore, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, the Quiet Brahman Heavenly Lady, and the Grand Palace Master Zi Shi Yun firmly refused to compromise, ultimately leading to the breakdown of the negotiations.
"In fact, our strength is not weak now," Qin Muling said. "With the support of the Monster Emperor Nation and the Genesis Star Palace, even if more than forty Transcendent Level forces are really united against us, we still have the power to fight. Why do we need to compromise?"
"That's right, that's probably the case," Mu Yinghua said softly.
Grand Palace Master Zishi Yun said, "The longer time drags on, the more advantageous it is for us! Let's see what they can do to us in the end!"
By now, all three women have understood that this war cannot be avoided. It concerns their chances of achieving enlightenment and becoming saints. Neither side can afford to back down, so they must give their all in a life-or-death battle.
"Can the Mountain Protection Array of the Sect's Main Altar be further strengthened?" Qin Muling asked. If they were destined to face the full force of nearly a hundred top experts, the once seemingly invincible Mountain Protection Array would likely prove insufficient.
Not to mention the Transcendent Level forces on the other side, each capable of producing one or two Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures. They surely have no shortage of hidden tricks. Therefore, it is imperative for the Female Cultivators Union Alliance to further upgrade the defense of the Mountain Protection Array.
"Of course it can," Serene Brahman Heavenly Maiden said with a smile. "The Upper Realm sects' secret libraries are not lacking in designs for stronger Mountain Protection Arrays. However, due to limited resources, they have been kept on the back burner. But now, with your help, it is entirely feasible to create a stronger array!"
In essence, the most crucial issue is the number of Innate Spiritual Treasures serving as nodes in the formation and the number of experienced Quasi-Saint Emperors presiding over the operation of the array. As long as these two conditions are fully met, the other conditions are merely minor details.
Now that all three women have obtained multiple Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, as well as numerous Peerless Grade and High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and more and more experienced Quasi-Saint Emperors capable of severing Virtuous Thought Incarnations, the previously seemingly unsolvable problem has now been resolved.
In theory, if there were hundreds or thousands of Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures serving as nodes in the Mountain Protection Array, along with an equal number of experienced Quasi-Saint Emperors presiding over the operation of the array, it would be truly indestructible. It would not only withstand the full force siege of dozens of Transcendent Level forces but perhaps even resist the presence of the legendary Supreme Primordial Saint.
Currently, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace does not have hundreds or thousands of Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures to spare. However, with the existing resources, it is possible to enhance the defense of the Mountain Protection Array by three to five times.
In this way, the enemy would need to expend more time and resources to break through the array. As long as the two sides can hold out for a sufficient amount of time, Qin Muling naturally has the confidence to kill more Apex Level experts on the other side, causing them unbearable losses and premature collapse.
"Then let's handle it this way!" Qin Muling said. "We can work harder in the future, exploring the depths of the chaotic void, and find as many good things as possible."
"Yes, that's only fair. It all depends on your performance," the four Immortal Venerables Qing Yao agreed. Although the demonic sect seems overwhelmingly powerful, upon closer examination, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance has a much greater chance of winning than the outside world believes.
After the discussion, Qin Muling went to the Sect's Council Hall and met with Emperor Bing Chan and Linghu Qingya, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Sister, shall we go?" Qin Muling said. He didn't want to see any disputes between the two sides, so after the meeting, he didn't say much and quickly handed over the matters and left.
"Of course, but there's something we need to discuss with them," Emperor Bing Chan said with a smile. Her clear and bright eyes looked at Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the others. "I think it's a bit hard on Junior Brother to travel back and forth every six months. How about extending the time to ten years? Junior Brother spends ten years on each side, and neither side can take advantage!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sneered, "Dream on! Ten years? Are you trying to keep him in Genesis Star Palace forever?"
Serene Brahman Heavenly Maiden calmly said, "Bing Chan, this is impossible. Don't think too much about it."
Linghu Qingya snorted, "Your side is already strong enough, but we still have many disciples waiting to heal from Transcending Tribulation. What's wrong with Junior Brother staying with us for a few more years?"
Seeing that an argument was about to break out again, Qin Muling quickly spoke up, "Sisters, there's no need to argue. Ten years is indeed too long. How about one year instead?"
Going back and forth every six months feels a bit frequent, and both cultivation and healing from Transcending Tribulation require tight scheduling. One year would be more appropriate.
It's not that it can't be longer, but Qin Muling feels that if he stays away from either side for too long, there may be unforeseen changes, so he dismissed the idea.
Immortal Venerable Zishiyun glanced at them coldly and said, "Fine, it's just one year. But you better not cause any trouble. If anything happens to Mulan, we will not agree!"
Linghu Qingya couldn't stand her attitude, but considering her image in Qin Muling's eyes, she ultimately didn't say much. She held the beautiful young man next to her and left with Emperor Bing Chan, Dragon Qi Emperor, and Dongfang Zhihan.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pursed her lips, feeling somewhat resentful of their request. After all, not being able to see Qin Muling for a year would be difficult for her fellow sisters in the sect to endure. But since Qin Muling himself agreed, she couldn't say anything more.
"Sister, don't mind," Zishiyun comforted her. "Since a big battle is inevitable, we will need their help in the future. Let them go for now."
Compared to Genesis Star Palace and Monster Emperor, their current strength is indeed insufficient and needs to be strengthened. This is also beneficial for the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
Although they haven't officially joined the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, as long as Qin Muling has something going on, the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox and the master of Genesis Star Palace will not stand idly by. With their presence in the shadows, those guys led by the Demon Path Ancestral Court won't be able to fully deal with the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
...
"...Junior Brother, you actually have such a precious treasure in your hands? I really didn't expect it," Emperor Bing Huang said, looking at the rapidly changing void galaxy scene outside the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, with a slightly surprised expression.
Linghu Qingya smiled and said, "No matter what miracles happen to Junior Brother, I won't be too surprised. He is the beloved child of the supreme Hongmeng Heavenly Dao Will, and it is only natural for him to obtain several Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures."
"They were all found in the depths of the chaotic void," Qin Muling said. "After the matters in the sect are settled, you and I will also go to the chaotic void and bring back some good things."
"Yes, we are looking forward to it!" Dongfang Zhihan, who was beautiful and charming, hugged Qin Muling and kissed him. Standing beside her was a graceful and charming beauty, also looking at Qin Muling affectionately. She was his Evil Thought Incarnation.
Qin Muling looked at the passionate gazes of the women around him, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"What do you want to say, Junior Brother? Feel free to speak your mind," Emperor Bing Chan keenly noticed his reaction and immediately spoke.
After considering for a moment, Qin Muling spoke, "Did many of the disciples and followers that Master accepted back then suffer calamities and perish? To the point..."
Since his transformation, when the paper puppet returned to the Genesis Star Palace to deliver things, he could see that the overall strength of the sect was not as strong as before. It had declined more than a little compared to the Transcendent Level forces and the number one Immortal Sacred Land he remembered.
Although the main force of the sect was in the Upper Realm, the number and quality of the disciples who returned for the first time were limited. However, from their average cultivation level, it could be seen that the overall strength of Genesis Star Palace was no longer at its peak.
Even Emperor Bing Chan himself, due to his unhealed injuries, had fallen from the realm of severing the Three Corpses Incarnation to the level of an ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperor.
And in Qin Muling's memory before his transformation, certain familiar figures had disappeared. It should be...
Emperor Bing Chan's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He looked at Linghu Qingya beside him before saying softly, "Indeed, as you suspected, most of the strongest disciples under Master's tutelage are either heavily injured and unhealed or have already died, leaving only remnants of their souls reincarnating. Due to Master's current situation... it's impossible for him to go out and find them one by one and guide them back."
When the master of Genesis Star Palace first arrived in the Upper Realm, he had conflicts with many Transcendent Level forces, and there were constant frictions, both overt and covert.
Later, the full-scale war with Monster Emperor lasted for a long time, resulting in numerous losses of disciples and followers. That's why Qin Muling saw the situation he did.
Of course, now that the two sides have reconciled, there is no point in bringing up these old accounts. After all, the losses on the side of Monster Emperor were even more severe, leading to the decline of many once powerful Beast Race bloodlines.
Linghu Qingya sighed, "Junior Brother, we can't be blamed for this! Initially, that person refused to disclose your whereabouts no matter what. Sister couldn't swallow this anger, so she... In any case, this is a mess. What do you think we should do?"
Qin Muling shook his head, "I don't blame you. Well, after this calamity is over, I will try to find a way to bring them back from the mortal world."
Emperor Bing Huang's expression brightened, "That would be the best."
As they spoke, the Genesis Star Palace's dojo had arrived. It was a vast void land spanning trillions of miles, not as grand as the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, but still the second-ranked Sacred Land in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
The Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore shrank to the size of dozens of zhang and transformed into a splendid golden radiance, lightly descending into the Cave Mansion in the back mountain of the sect.
"I have brought the Good Fortune Heavenly Palace this time. All the senior and junior sisters can use this treasure to refine their essence and transform their bodies. Then, I will use the 'Heavenly Mechanism Spirit Awakening' Divine Ability to make their Dao Foundation even more perfect and possess greater growth potential."
Qin Muling said, since he was going to rely on the power of the Genesis Star Palace and the Monster Emperor's realm, he couldn't be stingy in this aspect. After all, they were all his Dao companions, and there was no need to favor one over the other.
"Alright, Junior Brother, we will follow your arrangements," Emperor Bing Chan's beautiful eyes shimmered with delight as she couldn't help but say.
Ye Xinglan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing some concern, "The effect of the 'Heavenly Mechanism Spirit Awakening' is indeed extraordinary, but it consumes tens of thousands of years of lifespan with just one use. If it is used frequently, will it harm you, Junior Brother?"
Although the current lifespan of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus was extremely long, it was not infinite, so it couldn't be squandered endlessly.
Qin Muling smiled, "It's alright. This kind of consumption can be restored. Just practice with you all a few more times."
Ye Xinglan gave him a charmingly reproachful look and didn't say anything more. She pondered in her heart how to serve Junior Brother well in the chamber later. After all, his sacrifice was too great.
Qin Muling thought for a moment and looked at Linghu Qingya, "Senior Sister, I heard that the Monster Emperor's realm also has vassal forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, like the territory of the Gouchen Immortal Dynasty..."
Linghu Qingya quickly said, "There are too many people and too many prying eyes over there. Junior Brother, you don't need to worry about it. In the future, the senior and junior sisters who come will only stay here to serve you. They have no connection with that side."
Indeed, the Gouchen Immortal Dynasty was a hidden move made by the Monster Emperor's realm in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. However, as time passed, the internal affairs of the Immortal Dynasty were no longer pure. Various factions and forces were vying for power, and it was not a pure female cultivation force. Therefore, it was not favored by the Ten-tailed Celestial Fox.
Therefore, after Qin Muling returned, the female immortals who descended from the Monster Emperor's realm all stayed in the Genesis Star Palace's dojo and had no contact with that side, only to take care of Qin Muling alone.
Chen Xueyi, who wore a fiery red dress and exuded a bright and elegant aura, spoke, "Junior Brother, the meal is ready. Why don't we eat and drink to our heart's content before practicing together?"
Qin Muling nodded slightly, "Alright."
Wearing a gorgeous black palace dress, Dongfang Zhihan supported Qin Muling as they sat at the table. She raised a delicate jade wine jug and poured him a full cup of bronze dragon-patterned wine from the exquisite spirit jade wine pot.
Qin Muling invited the senior sisters to take their seats and enjoy various delicacies from land and sea while chatting.
"...Is the new sect's mountain protection formation almost complete?" Qin Muling asked after three rounds of wine.
Emperor Bing Chan nodded, "Yes, it's almost complete. Only some minor details need to be adjusted and coordinated. If new land masses merge, we just need to make adjustments step by step."
Qin Muling pondered for a moment, "Then, what about the Innate Spiritual Treasures needed for the formation?"
Linghu Qingya smiled gracefully, "You don't need to worry about that. Both the Genesis Star Palace and us have sufficient inventory in the sect's treasury. Even the three Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures needed have been gathered. In all aspects, we are not inferior to the main hall of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."
