Chapter 414 Grand Palace Master: Right Now... I Can Only Work Harder On Qin Muling!
Chapter 414: Grand Palace Master: For now... we can only rely on Qin Muling to work harder!
At the peak of the boundless sea of clouds, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and Grand Palace Master Mu Yinghua stood on the clouds, overlooking the vast and immense continent below. Streams of colorful lights rose into the air from the Cave Mansions in all directions, each light carrying one or several beautiful and elegantly dressed female immortals.
Without exception, their destination was Qin Muling's Cave Mansion in the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
Everyone had come at Qin Muling's invitation. Upon hearing that their junior sister was in closed-door cultivation, they gladly accepted the invitation and were determined not to fall behind.
"...It's not easy to deal with the Buddhist Sect!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao furrowed her brows slightly and said with some headache, "If we let those old fellows cause trouble, Mu Ling's existence will inevitably be known to the high-level members of the Buddha Domain Pure Land, it's only a matter of time."
Mu Yinghua's eyes were filled with worry as she looked at the Grand Palace Master and asked, "Is there really no way to avoid it? For example, directly closing the Two Realms Guiding Array of the Buddhist Sect, so that the powerful beings from the upper realm of the Buddha Domain Pure Land cannot descend into the Extreme Void Starry Sky for a certain period of time."
This method is not a permanent solution, at most, it can only delay the situation for a period of time. However, from the perspective of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it seems that there is no better strategy at the moment.
The Grand Palace Master pondered and said, "The Buddhist Domain Pure Land initially chose a neutral and observant attitude, and did not intend to send their disciples to descend in large numbers. I don't know why they changed their minds this time. Since the situation has already occurred, we can't stop it."
"Now, the only way is to delay it as much as possible. The longer the better. As long as Mu Ling can become a Quasi-Saint Emperor and create enough Quasi-Saint Emperors for the alliance, even if they find out about this, they won't be able to do anything to us."
In the end, it all comes down to the question of whether our strength is enough.
If it were just the Buddhist Domain Pure Land, the current Divine Phoenix Palace wouldn't have to fear. After all, those Quasi-Saint Emperors who were heavily injured and sleeping in the sect's secret realm have already recovered more than half of their strength. In terms of high-end strategic military power, Divine Phoenix Palace is already equivalent to several Transcendent Level forces combined.
However, if the Buddhist Domain Pure Land suffers a major loss at Divine Phoenix Palace, they will definitely invite their friends from the same sect to help, and they will also form alliances to strengthen their momentum. At that time, it's hard to say whether Divine Phoenix Palace can withstand it.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao fell silent for a moment, her expression serious, and asked, "Sister, tell me the truth, how many top experts like you and me are there in the current Divine Phoenix Palace? If all the elders who are heavily injured and sleeping in the sect's secret realm recover, how many Transcendent Level forces can we simultaneously confront?"
This question is indeed sensitive. Normally, even between allied forces, it is not something that can be casually inquired about. However, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is now united in prosperity and adversity, so Immortal Venerable Qing Yao no longer avoids discussing this matter.
When a full-scale war is inevitable, it is essential to investigate one's own strength and count all the chips at hand. This is related to what strategies the high-level members will adopt in order to maximize their own interests.
After weighing it for a moment, the Grand Palace Master finally spoke, "My master and my ancestor have the same cultivation realm as me, but their accumulation is deeper. In addition, there are two Supreme Elders whose cultivation has reached the level of the Three Corpse Unified Harmony."
"Adding you, that makes five top experts, right?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's eyes flickered slightly as she continued to inquire, "What is their current condition? Can they go all out?"
"My master and my ancestor are both in their prime state. Each of them possesses an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, which is the most important and confidential strategic trump card of the sect. They will not make a move unless Divine Phoenix Palace and other Transcendent Level forces engage in a full-scale war."
The Grand Palace Master furrowed her brows lightly and explained calmly, "As for the other two Supreme Elders, they are currently in a state of deep sleep due to injuries suffered in the chaos of the void. But... I dare not awaken them now, nor do I dare to let Mu Ling treat them!"
"..."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and quickly understood after a moment of contemplation, "Those two are not on the same side as you? And perhaps... there are some conflicts between you?"
The Grand Palace Master nodded with a bitter smile, "Those are all old matters. Their seniority is even higher than my master's, and their personalities are quite dominant and overbearing. The position of the Supreme Sect Master has always been held by their faction, and candidates from other factions have no chance to compete."
"Later, they were seriously injured in the depths of the chaotic void and had no hope of recovery. They had to give up their power and retire, which gave my master the opportunity to rise to power."
After the Grand Palace Master's master gained power, the position of the Supreme Sect Master was passed down in their lineage, and now it is already the third generation.
If there are no major changes, the direct disciples of the Grand Palace Master, Liuying Zixi sisters, will undoubtedly become the next Supreme Sect Master of the Divine Phoenix Palace. However, because their Dao companions are Qin Muling, it is impossible for the dozens of other saintesses to surpass them.
However, if those two Elders recover to their peak state, with their dominant and overbearing nature, they may not be willing to obey the arrangements of the Grand Palace Master. At that time, there may be many obstacles and changes within the Divine Phoenix Palace.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao frowned and said, "Is there really no room for compromise?"
The Grand Palace Master replied with certainty, "There really isn't. I swear on my conscience that once those two recover, the first thing they will do is snatch away Muling and then try to take back the position of the Supreme Sect Master from me."
"This is not good!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sighed. In fact, she also understood that not all the Elders who are dormant within the various sects' forces have no hope of recovery. However, many times, considering the stability of the power structure within the sect, the higher-ups can only tacitly choose to abandon them. This is also an unwritten rule that has been established in the cultivation world for billions of years.
After all, no matter how great the foundation and wealth of a sect, it cannot withstand endless internal conflicts and divisions. In the past history, there have been too many bloody examples of this.
Mu Yinghua's expression changed slightly, showing a hesitant expression.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao glanced at her and said, "Just say what you want to say. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong. After all, the person Muling cares most about is you, his master. He will never hold any grudges against you."
"...," Mu Yinghua blushed at the words, feeling somewhat embarrassed. It was unexpected that such an embarrassing matter would be exposed in front of the ancestor.
She tried to steady her mind and whispered, "I want to ask, how many top experts at the Unified Harmony stage are there in the Buddha Domain Pure Land? If they indeed have more than us, what methods should we use to make up for it?"
At critical moments, no matter how many ordinary strong individuals there are, they are just cannon fodder. The decisive factor is still the confrontation between top experts.
The Grand Palace Master looked at Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and asked, "Are there any experts at the Unified Harmony stage in your sect? Or at least someone close to that level?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao shook her head, "Among my direct disciples, only that girl Roulan has severed her Three Corpses Incarnation, but she hasn't completed it yet. Tianxia recently just broke through this stage, but it is not yet perfect."
The Grand Palace Master understood and pondered slightly, "In the Divine Phoenix Palace, there are about five or six who have completely severed their Three Corpses Incarnation, and there are probably more than ten who haven't perfected it yet! Well, this includes those injured Elders who are in a deep sleep in the secret realm and can be safely healed and used by us."
"As for the Buddha Domain Pure Land, they probably have two top experts at the Unified Harmony stage, just like us. There may be four or five hidden beneath the surface... maybe even more, but it is uncertain whether they are all in their peak state. Some of them may be sleeping in the secret realm due to injuries."
In the circle of Transcendent Level forces, the Buddha Domain Pure Land is also an outstanding existence. Compared to them, the past Divine Phoenix Palace's strength was still inferior.
Well, the main reason is that the founder of the Divine Phoenix Palace has been traveling in the depths of the chaotic void for many years. Now, more than twenty Yuan Hui have not been in contact with the sect, and it is unknown what the situation is.
Of course, now that Qin Muling has appeared, the Grand Palace Master has already seen the possibility of quickly surpassing the Buddha Domain Pure Land and even all other Transcendent Level forces in the short term.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered and said, "In that case, we don't have the advantage here, but the gap is not big either. After all, we have more Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures than them, not to mention Mu Ling."
The Grand Palace Master had no objections to this and said, "Yes, if a full-scale war were to break out between us and the Buddha Domain Pure Land, Divine Phoenix Palace would not fear them. In the short to medium term, their losses would be much greater than ours!"
"What I'm worried about is that the Buddha Domain Pure Land may join forces with the Monster Emperor's kingdom, and there may even be other Transcendent Level forces taking advantage of the situation. That would be very disadvantageous for us!"
In a one-on-one situation, the current Divine Phoenix Palace should not fear any Transcendent Level forces. However, if there are more than two Transcendent Level forces, the pressure on Divine Phoenix Palace would be very great.
As for external assistance... the Grand Palace Master does not want to consider it now because Qin Muling is the only one, and she does not want more forces to come in and share his luck.
Mu Yinghua pursed her lips and said softly, "Can he now create three Unified Harmony experts? If Empress Roulan, Emperor Tian Xia, and he... can they solve this problem?"
Anyway, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao relied on Qin Muling's help to achieve her goals. With her successful example, there is no reason why other empresses cannot do the same.
"It's definitely worth a try!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded in agreement. If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had three top experts, they could sit on an equal footing with Divine Phoenix Palace in the future.
The Grand Palace Master looked at her with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Even if there are really two more, it's still not enough, right? To completely solve the problem, we still need to bring over the more than ten empresses of Divine Phoenix Palace. What do you think, little sister?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's face changed several times, and after a moment of silence, she finally said, "Alright, but I'm worried that Mu Ling will be overworked. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."
"Heh, there's no need to worry about that. All the precious materials, rare resources of Divine Phoenix Palace are open to him. He won't be at a disadvantage!"
The Grand Palace Master smiled confidently. In the current situation, apart from Qin Muling, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance didn't have a better choice.
Since the conversation had reached this point, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao naturally couldn't question anything anymore. Whether the Female Cultivators Union Alliance could continue to exist peacefully mainly relied on the high-end strategic combat capabilities of Divine Phoenix Palace. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was inferior in this aspect.
The three women discussed for a while and decided to arrange for the senior empresses to come and accompany Qin Muling in his cultivation as soon as possible. With the help of the Time Acceleration Array, they should be able to solve some of the problems in the short term.
As for the Buddhist lineage, they needed to quickly persuade their high-level members, preferably by directly closing the inter-realm transmission array to prevent people from the Buddha Domain Pure Land from descending into the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Of course, this was just a temporary measure. It wouldn't be difficult for the Buddha Domain Pure Land to find other ways to descend, it would just delay them for a while.
A month quietly passed.
When the doors of the palace's inner hall opened again, a large group of radiant and beautiful female immortals rushed out, wearing colorful dresses and emitting a captivating fragrance.
"... Little Junior Brother, you've worked hard!"
Yu Lingzhou held Qin Muling's arm and said with a smile, "Senior Sister will prepare a big meal for you. After you've eaten and drunk your fill, we can go together..."
At this moment, Mu Yinghua's figure appeared quietly in front of them, blocking Qin Muling's path.
The surrounding female immortals were surprised and bowed one after another.
"Master?"
Qin Muling was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Mu Yinghua had come personally without a word. In the past, it was always Qin Muling who went to find her.
"I have something to tell you, come with me!"
Mu Yinghua's expression was slightly complicated as she embraced him and disappeared in the space.
In the Supreme Cave Mansion of the Sect Leader, both the Grand Palace Master and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao were present, along with Hua Xi and Jin Huan, the two Elders. In addition, there were nineteen unfamiliar women, all dressed in beautiful clothes, radiating elegance and charm. They had a variety of styles, ranging from youthful and mature to stunningly beautiful, and their exquisite appearances made the entire hall shine.
Especially their cultivation levels were quite terrifying, comparable to the recently returned Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. Several of them had even completely severed their Three Corpses Incarnation, although they had not yet reached the realm of Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses.
However, nearly half of the Empresses among them were injured, indicating that they had been sleeping in the secret realm for quite some time and were barely able to come out this time.
When Qin Muling entered the Cave Mansion with his Master, the nineteen pairs of captivating and mysterious eyes all turned to him, focusing on his body.
Doubt, scrutiny, surprise, curiosity, shock... Various emotions were revealed in their beautiful eyes.
"...So this is the legendary incarnation of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus? It's truly unbelievable!"
"Indeed, he has the grace and elegance of a dragon and phoenix, far surpassing those stinky men outside!"
"This luck and fortune is truly terrifying. Since my debut, I have never seen such a magnificent and unimaginable existence. Even the Innate Chaotic Divine Demon encountered in the depths of the chaotic void back then is incomparable. It's really..."
"Well, it's not a loss to merge with such a transcendent existence and offer our own pure Yin body of the utmost mystery."
"It should be said that we are the ones who have gained an advantage. The Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus is such an extraordinary opportunity that not everyone has a chance to encounter!"
"That makes sense... As long as he is willing to get close to us, the realm of Unified Harmony of the Three Corpses should be within reach, and even further, achieving true eternal transcendence is not impossible, right?"
"It's hard to say, but as long as he is here, there is always a glimmer of hope!"
...
The Empresses communicated silently with their divine senses, their excitement and excitement overflowing.
Originally, when they received the message from the Grand Palace Master and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, they still had some doubts and didn't think that this trip to the Extreme Void Starry Sky would yield any substantial gains. However, when Qin Muling appeared alive in front of them, certain inherent notions in their hearts quietly shattered.
As long as they had such an extraordinary opportunity by their side, what else could they worry about in their own path and grand undertaking?
"Muling, let me introduce them to you first,"
The Grand Palace Master coughed lightly and spoke in a gentle and charming tone, "They are all Elders who have been cultivating in the sect..."
