Chapter 443: Hongmeng Blood Purgatory Halberd
In the Upper Realm, at the Demon Path Ancestral Court.
In the magnificent and imposing hall, filled with a solemn and murderous aura, the Demon Lord Taiyuan sat on the throne, his face as calm as water, silently listening to the reports of the elders below.
As the highest authority of a Transcendent Level power, Taiyuan, the Demon Lord, had to personally handle a considerable number of matters every day.
The reports from the elders were not all bad news, but the majority of them were, and they mostly concerned the matters he cared about the most.
"...So you're saying that most of our spies and undercover agents we sent to the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain in the past few years have not returned alive, including the most recent one, and most of them were captured alive by them. Is that correct?" After a long silence, the Demon Lord Taiyuan asked coldly.
"From what we can see at the moment... that seems to be the case," replied Mo Chongning, the elder in charge of the intelligence affairs of the Demon Path Ancestral Court, in a low voice. "Their soul lamps, which they left behind in the sect, have not been extinguished, indicating that those women did not intend to kill them directly. They should have imprisoned them or sealed their souls and bodies, using them as slaves."
"What a mess!" The Demon Lord Taiyuan shouted angrily, causing the elders to look at each other in silence.
Such things were not uncommon in the cultivation world, as there were simply too many tasks that high-level immortals could do. In the secret prisons of various sects and powers, unfortunate cultivators who had become slaves for various reasons were held captive.
Transcendent Level powers like the Demon Path Ancestral Court were particularly notorious for this. Over the years, they had acquired billions of enslaved immortals through various means. They came from different races and different sects and powers, with varying levels of cultivation. They even captured disciples from certain allied powers.
However, from the perspective of the Demon Lord Taiyuan, it was a different matter when his own elite disciples were captured and turned into slaves by others.
"Can't we find a way to teach them a lesson?" Taiyuan, the Demon Lord, slapped the armrest of the throne and asked with a gloomy expression. "Can't we capture some female cultivators, bring them back, and subject them to severe humiliation? Or use them as hostages and exchange them?"
Elder Mo Chongning hesitated for a moment before saying, "We can try, but it's hard to say if it will be successful. We failed so many times before, and the problem should lie in the leakage of information."
In fact, in the past few years, every elite undercover team that set off would have a powerful individual to shield them from divination, confuse the yin and yang, but it was all in vain.
This could only mean that the Female Cultivators Union Alliance had someone who was even more skilled in divination and could see through their actions. That was why the secret spy teams sent out never returned.
If they insisted on sending a high-level team of experts to capture high-level female immortals from the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, they might end up with the same result, gaining nothing but losing everything.
Moreover, if the Female Cultivators Union Alliance retaliated because of this, the losses for the Demon Path Ancestral Court would be difficult to estimate.
Taiyuan, the Demon Lord, frowned. "Last time, I personally shielded our actions from divination. Could it be that they still saw through it? I haven't heard of anyone on their side who is particularly skilled in divination."
"Perhaps... it was the hidden Buddha elders from the Buddha Domain Pure Land who took action? As you know, they have never been on good terms with us," Mo Chongning suggested.
Mo Chongning's tone was somewhat ambiguous. Some sects in the Buddha Domain Pure Land have particularly exquisite and unique research on the art of divination and numerology. It is not too difficult to see through the arrangements of the Demon Path Ancestral Land.
With motivation and ability, the occurrence of things is only natural.
Demon Lord Taiyuan stood up somewhat impatiently, pacing back and forth for a moment before asking softly, "What should we do in this situation? Should we just let it go like this?"
Elder Chen Dongyu, the core elder, pursed his lips and said, "Master, since they are already on guard, it is not appropriate to continue taking action now. It would be better to... lie low for a while and retaliate with interest after our plan succeeds!"
Currently, it is indeed not suitable to have an open conflict with the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. Otherwise, if they were to truly anger the other side, those mysterious and terrifying, almost unsolvable witchcraft curses would fall upon the powerful figures of the Demon Path Ancestral Land.
Perhaps the first unlucky one would be the current Supreme Master? Just like those unlucky Supreme Masters of the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace.
"Never mind, let's just leave it like this for now!"
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Demon Lord Taiyuan finally said, "We don't need to pay attention to them for the time being. Let's resolve this matter first, and when we succeed, we can settle both old and new accounts with them!"
As the Supreme Master, he naturally understood the importance and urgency of the matter. It would be a huge loss to involve himself just to vent his anger, so for now, he could only choose to endure.
Fortunately, they didn't have to endure for too long. The plan started off smoothly, and according to the estimates of the participating elders, they should be able to see the hope of success within twenty years.
"However, we can also consider sending envoys to negotiate with them and see if we can peacefully exchange the person back," suggested one elder.
Demon Lord Taiyuan nodded lightly, "Alright, you can arrange it yourselves."
...
In the depths of the chaotic void.
The wailing and cursing of the Innate Chaotic Divine Demon before their demise still echoed in the realm of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus. Within its domain, all the sinister and evil secret techniques and divine abilities were useless and easily dissolved.
So all their hidden counterattacks before their death were in vain.
"These two guys look really ugly. Could it be that all Innate creatures have such strange appearances..." Qin Muling frowned as she looked at the bodies of the Innate Chaotic Divine Demon, which stretched for hundreds of miles. They had a body integration resembling crocodiles and sawfish, with dozens of huge black membrane wings on their backs. Their bodies were covered with various grotesque lumps, and they dragged three ugly tails that looked like whips.
Of course, the strength of these two Innate Chaotic Divine Demon was not to be underestimated. Qin Muling, along with the three women, and with the help of many Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, had exerted a lot of effort to kill them.
"...Finally done!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her lower back, and let her incarnation go to search their nest.
Zi Shiyun smiled and said, "The chaotic void is dominated by chaotic laws, so most of these chaotic creatures have strange appearances that are rarely seen in the human cultivation world. It's rare to see living beings that conform to the aesthetic standards of the human race! You'll get used to it."
Jing Fan Tian Nü looked at Qin Muling and pondered before saying, "You are also an Innate creature, of course... you should belong to the highest rank, so you are different from them."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and joked, "That's because his transformation took place in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, influenced by the laws of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. That's why he changed into a human form. If he were born in the depths of the chaotic void, who knows what kind of ugly appearance he would have?"
Qin Muling: "......"
"Just kidding, little junior brother, don't be angry!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao hugged him and kissed him, smiling, "But the state of the laws of the birthplace does indeed have a great influence on living beings, and I believe you know that."
"Well, that's true, but I am originally an Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus. No matter how my appearance changes, it shouldn't deviate too much, right?"
Qin Muling said, and they didn't know that their divine souls actually came from another time and space, with genuine human identities.
In reality, without their arrival through time and space, it is hard to say whether this Innate Primordial Spirit Seed would have the possibility of transformation. Perhaps, even after countless epochs, it would only be an Apex Level Innate spiritual object?
After a moment, the girl in the green dress returned with a full load, various precious spoils of war piled up into several mountains, radiating with treasure light, and a strong Dao Rhyme aura permeated the surrounding space.
In addition to the astonishing quantity of rare divine materials that only exist in the depths of chaos, there were also thousands of Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate spiritual objects, with very few below the Middle Grade level.
Among them, the most precious treasure was a blood-colored long halberd, shining with precious light and crystal clear like red jade. Countless fine Hongmeng Dao patterns could be faintly seen shining and flowing inside it. The chilling and substantive killing intent shook the void. When looking at it, even with the cultivation of the Grand Palace Master and the others, there was a terrifying feeling of being cut in mid-air.
This was also an Apex Level treasure with forty-nine layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions, not inferior to the Infinite Origin Bell and the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
"A good treasure, now it belongs to you!"
The Pure Silence Heavenly Maiden smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes shining brightly. According to the principle of rotating distribution, this blood jade long halberd happened to belong to Qin Muling.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun's eyes were full of envy, but this guy had always had extraordinary luck, so there was nothing to be jealous of.
After all, after being out for so long, they had all obtained several Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, although they were slightly lower in grade, they were also found with the help of Qin Muling's divination. In the past, this was something they didn't even dare to dream of.
"Okay, when the full-scale war starts, I can also take action myself!"
Qin Muling said, and then refined and recognized this killing weapon called the "Hongmeng Blood Purgatory Halberd". In the future, when combined with the power of the Infinite Origin Bell and the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, there would not be too many Apex Level powerhouses capable of posing a fatal threat to him.
As for the remaining spoils of war, they were distributed according to the agreed-upon proportions, of course... the best part went to Qin Muling, after all, he had the priority to choose.
The bodies left behind by the two Innate Chaotic Divine Demons were also rare treasures. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the Pure Silence Heavenly Maiden each took one. If there were similar gains in the future, they would be given priority to the Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun.
"The half-year deadline is almost here, shall we go back now?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao asked. This trip to the chaotic void was generally smooth, with many enviable gains, so the three women were all satisfied.
"Let's go back, they must be anxious!"
Qin Muling said. With the significant improvement in strength, hunting various Chaotic Ferocious Beast kings and Innate Chaotic Divine Demons became easier and easier. The gains from this trip were obviously greater than any previous ones.
The Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun's beautiful eyes flowed with charm, and she suddenly asked, "After you go there, will you also accompany them to come here to seek opportunities?"
Qin Muling glanced at her and said, "The Genesis Star Palace is already rich in resources, so we don't need it for now. But who knows about the future."
Because she cared too much about him, the three women felt a bit jealous of the other side, but Qin Muling was the one who saved them from the depths of the chaotic void, so they couldn't really complain about it.
Qin Muling understood this and could only pretend to be ignorant most of the time, praying that they wouldn't fight with each other.
Zi Shiyun wanted to say something, but Jing Fantiannü gently pulled her sleeve and softly said, "Let's leave it at that and go back first!"
The Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore suddenly burst into a bright golden light and disappeared on the spot.
It can be imagined how far away it is from the Extreme Void Starry Sky, a place that the Quasi-Saint Emperor has never set foot in his entire life. However, with the power of this treasure, after hundreds of void teleportations, the main altar of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was already in sight.
They quietly returned to the Cave Mansion of the sect leader, where Mu Yinghua, Xinyu, Tong Ying, and Emperor Feng Ge had been waiting for a long time.
"Back already? Was the journey smooth?" Mu Yinghua, wearing a deep purple palace dress embroidered with flowers, elegant and dignified, held Qin Muling's hand and asked softly.
"It was fine, and we gained quite a lot."
Qin Muling said, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him with a hint of warmth in his eyes. After all, it had been a long time since they last met, and he missed the tenderness of his master.
Seeing the look in this guy's eyes, Mu Yinghua understood what he was thinking. She gave him a subtle glare and turned to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, saying,
"There's something we need to discuss together. The envoy from the Demon Sect has come. They are currently waiting in the border area of the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, saying that they want to redeem the captives from before. What do you think we should reply to them?"
So many elite disciples and elders were captured and enslaved by the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, working hard to enhance the enemy's strength and resources. The high-level members of the Demon Sect couldn't swallow this humiliation and thus came up with this plan.
Qin Muling calmly said, "They want to redeem the captives? I wonder what conditions they are offering."
"Just ordinary cultivation resources, nothing too much. And they promise not to disturb or infiltrate the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain in the future."
Mu Yinghua said, shaking her head. The behavior of the Demon Sect showed no sincerity at all.
The Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun sneered, "What else is there to say? Just send them away! Do they really think we're pushovers?"
"That's right. If they dare to cause trouble again, we won't be polite. We'll just kill them all!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said in a deep voice. With the abundant harvest from the depths of the chaotic void, the strength and resources of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance were becoming stronger and stronger. They didn't need to fear them at all, even if it was an alliance of more than a dozen Transcendent Level forces.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's reject them! They are already afraid of us and won't dare to confront us directly. We can start the war early if necessary, and see who will suffer more."
"Yes, that's the way to go."
Jing Fantiannü agreed, as the Buddha and the Demon couldn't coexist peacefully. The past conflicts between the Buddha Domain Pure Land and the Demon Sect had been numerous, but both sides couldn't directly engage with each other. Therefore, for billions of years, they had been fighting proxy wars through vassal forces.
