Chapter 333: The Disadvantages of Dao Companions
After killing this group of single-legged giant birds, they obtained unexpectedly rich rewards.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao effortlessly absorbed eleven beautiful crystals, each the size of a human head and as red as blood. These crystals were the condensed life essence of the birds, and each one emitted a vigorous vitality.
"You can take them all. I don't need them anymore. You just used up so much of your lifespan, so it's perfect for you!" She said with a smile, throwing all of them to Qin Muling.
Speaking of which, she also found it unbelievable. In previous years, when she ventured alone into the chaotic void, although she killed many chaotic creatures, the chance to preserve their life essence crystals was very rare.
Only this time was an exception. The number of life essence crystals obtained from before to after exceeded any previous time. It seems that this is also due to Qin Muling's terrifying luck effect.
Qin Muling took a look and then threw all these life crystals into the depths of the Azure Lotus illusion. In a moment, they were absorbed and digested completely.
For a while, a surging hot stream filled their bodies. The Azure Lotus illusion became brighter and more solid, and the dense Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme filled the hall, making Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her two avatars feel extremely comfortable.
The benefits were immediate. Qin Muling's lost lifespan not only quickly recovered but also increased by tens of thousands of years.
The internal space expanded further, and when it stabilized, it increased by about ten percent. The internal system of laws became more complex and perfect, becoming more similar to the real external Great World environment.
Another pleasant surprise was that the nineteenth Azure Lotus leaf illusion finally completely manifested, awakening a new innate Divine Ability.
"Luck Decline" was the main effect of this new ability. As long as the target was recognized by Qin Muling as an enemy, their own luck and fortune would unknowingly and quietly drain away. Over time, even their destiny and potential would decline by a significant level.
Moreover, this Divine Ability was different from those witchcraft curses. It couldn't be detected in advance. By the time the target realized something was wrong after being affected, it was often too late to recover, and there was no way to counter it.
"...The destructive power of this secret technique is something even a Great Principal Golden Immortal can't withstand. Even someone like Master, Emperor Tong Ying, a newly promoted Quasi-Saint Emperor, would probably experience substantial effects from this secret technique in just a year or two. If my cultivation realm improves in the future, it will probably have great potential. Perhaps it will even work on senior Quasi-Saint Emperors who have severed their second and third incarnations?" Qin Muling silently pondered. This was the first Divine Ability he possessed that could harm Quasi-Saint Emperors. Unfortunately, it couldn't take effect immediately, but even at its current level, it was quite terrifying.
For other Profound Immortals, no matter how extraordinary their talents were, they were no different from ants in the eyes of a Quasi-Saint Emperor. Only Qin Muling possessed such special means.
"How is it? Has your lost lifespan been restored?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao asked with concern. Qin Muling's cultivation level was limited now, so if his lifespan was greatly depleted, it would likely have a negative impact on him.
"It has been restored, and even increased by quite a bit," Qin Muling replied.
"In that case, can't we..." Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's eyes brightened. She thought of some notoriously difficult chaotic creature nests. In the past, even with her cultivation level, she couldn't come up with a plan to deal with them. But now, with Qin Muling's help, perhaps they could try to deal with them?
In the lair of those great evil creatures, it goes without saying that there must be various treasures hidden, such as Apex Level Innate Spiritual Objects, which are made from the divine and mysterious materials from the chaos of the Hongmeng, exquisite Innate Spiritual Treasures, and even Innate Hongmeng Treasures. There should be a considerable chance of finding them, right?
"Since that's the case, let's give it a try!"
Qin Muling said, as the loss of his lifespan could be compensated by absorbing and refining the life essence crystals of these chaotic evil creatures, so there would be no worries.
"Well, let's do it!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with a smile, "It's not that I'm greedy, but I'm considering it for you, little junior brother! Just think about it, you have so many dao companions. After they become Quasi-Saint Emperors in the future, if they want to go further, they will need a considerable number of Innate Spiritual Treasures!"
"..."
Qin Muling's face changed slightly. He suddenly realized that he had almost overlooked a very crucial problem: when a Quasi-Saint Emperor kills their three corpse avatars, an Innate Spiritual Treasure is essential to house the avatars. There is nothing else that can replace it!
And the grade of this Innate Spiritual Treasure naturally should be as high as possible, as it directly relates to the strength of the avatars. If it is an Innate Hongmeng Treasure, it would be ideal! Of course, that's not realistic, so at least it should be an exquisite Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Like Immortal Venerable Qing Yao in front of him, she uses three exquisite Innate Spiritual Treasures to house her three corpse avatars. As for those Quasi-Saint Emperors with limited conditions and unfortunate luck, they may only have High Grade or Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to use.
If they can't even meet this standard, it's better not to consider it. A too weak avatar can't help the main body resist various calamities and may even become a burden.
From Qin Muling's perspective, he certainly doesn't want his dao companions to lack suitable Innate Spiritual Treasures in the future. For example, Mu Yinghua and Emperor Feng Ge, who have just been promoted, and Yu Lingzhou, who is about to break through, should at least be prepared with enough High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, preferably exquisite ones, to meet his expectations.
As for the Innate Hongmeng Treasure, it is a rare and unattainable treasure, and Qin Muling doesn't have high expectations for it at the moment.
"It seems that this time, if we don't obtain a sufficient number of exquisite Innate Spiritual Treasures, it will be embarrassing to go back." Qin Muling sighed softly. This is the downside of having too many dao companions.
"Don't worry, senior sister will definitely help you. I won't let you be disappointed!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao came over, hugged him, and kissed him gently, saying softly.
Qin Muling nodded, "Let's go and see their lair. There must be good things inside."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao agreed and left the starship, transforming into a streak of light and entering the largest chaotic star, where the lair of the one-legged giant birds is located.
After a while, a dazzling streak of light, like a heavenly dragon, flew out from the depths of the chaotic star and returned to the starship gracefully.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Muling supported Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and looked her over, making sure she showed no signs of injury before finally feeling relieved.
"They've emptied it out inside, but it feels good."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, waving her hand lightly. With a loud noise, piles of rare divine iron, primal crystal mothers, honghu spirit sand, and yuanqing star stones... almost formed a mountain in the hall. They were all rare divine materials that can only be produced in the depths of the Hongmeng chaos.
These are all core materials for refining powerful Spiritual Treasures, Saint Weapons, and Heaven and Earth Divine Weapons. If someone as powerful as Immortal Venerable Qing Yao were to take action, they could definitely refine products that are not inferior to Middle Grade or High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Of course, the required time and effort would be quite astonishing.
For an ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperor, this is already a very good treasure. However, now that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao has Qin Muling, she doesn't value these things as much. Perhaps she can consider selling them at a high price to allied forces in the future?
Emptying the nests of the one-legged giant bird population, the biggest gain was a uniquely shaped, chilling dark gold longsword. The slender sword body faintly had countless lines meandering within, capable of unleashing a terrifying Sword Intent Dao Rhyme that could cleave through stars.
"A total of thirty-four Innate Hongmeng Treasure Seals? Better than that Sun, Moon, and Stars Flag. This is already close to the pinnacle of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao exclaimed with joy. The quality of this sword, compared to the lifeblood she had sacrificed to refine her own personal sword, surpassed it by a notch. Even in the Upper Realm, there weren't many treasures that could be compared to it.
"Sister, you can use it. It should be able to further enhance your current combat power."
Qin Muling said without hesitation. She was now the most powerful existence in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and even the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. Naturally, the best Spiritual Treasures should prioritize her.
Once the powerful figures from the Upper Realm descend in the future, the pressure faced by the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will only become more terrifying. Whether Immortal Venerable Qing Yao can withstand them is crucial to Qin Muling's life and death.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered for a moment and said, "You should keep it for yourself! Or you can distribute it to any senior sister when you return. As for me... I can wait a little longer. Maybe there will be better opportunities later!"
"Alright."
Qin Muling no longer insisted and, after a short rest, the starship continued its journey.
The following journey was full of surprises and dangers. The five opportunities hidden in Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's memory were found one after another, each one more dangerous than the last. Of course, with Qin Muling sacrificing her lifespan and manifesting the true form of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus to suppress them, the final result was that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao successfully killed the nearby chaotic beasts and obtained the opportunities.
The five opportunities were a long-necked jade bottle containing twenty-four Innate Hongmeng Treasure Seals, an exceptionally beautiful green jade necklace containing thirty-one Innate Hongmeng Treasure Seals, a golden whip heavier than mountains containing twenty-seven Innate Hongmeng Treasure Seals. The remaining two were Innate spiritual objects, no less inferior to top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Throughout the journey, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her avatars frequently took action, killing countless chaotic beasts, and all the collected life essence sources were given to Qin Muling for her to refine and absorb.
"Alright, let's go find trouble with the true kings of the Hongmeng Chaos deep in the chaos."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, "For the powerful beings who venture into the chaos void all year round, their activity areas are not considered secret. It's just that their strength is too terrifying, so even someone like the Divine Phoenix Palace's Grand Palace Master is unwilling to provoke them easily."
"Okay, let's go together and see. Maybe there really are legendary Innate Hongmeng treasures inside!"
Qin Muling said, expressing some anticipation. Even the Divine Phoenix Palace's Grand Palace Master didn't dare to have any ideas about the chaotic beasts that even Divine Phoenix Palace's Grand Palace Master didn't dare to have any ideas about. What kind of quality were they? If they could find even one Innate Hongmeng treasure from their territory, it would be considered a worthwhile trip.
The starship adjusted its direction, suddenly accelerated, and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the depths of the chaotic tide.
"Sister, how did the Innate Hongmeng treasures in the Upper Realm come about? Are they all obtained by going to the lairs of those chaotic beast kings and snatching them?"
"It should be like that! I'm not very clear about the specific situation. It's an absolute secret of the major superpowers and immortal sacred lands. Without special reasons, outsiders cannot learn about it."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, "Just like when you were born in the depths of the Hongmeng Chaos Void, that person from the Genesis Star Palace definitely wouldn't have revealed how they obtained you, right?"
Qin Muling nodded without saying anything. It was indeed impossible to let outsiders know about this matter.
However, at this moment, he became somewhat curious about the birthplace of his own existence in the chaos of the Hongmeng. He wondered what kind of feng shui treasure land could give birth to such a miraculous and extraordinary existence like the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed.
Hmm, perhaps when there is a chance to reunite with the owner of the Genesis Star Palace in the future, this secret might be revealed. The premise, of course, is that he won't be killed on the spot by her!
This journey was quite far. Even with the terrifying speed of the Starship, it took a full hundred hours to barely arrive.
"...We've arrived," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, "This is the edge of their territory. If we continue to go deeper, we will encounter their patrol teams. I came here once before, and I was chased away by two individuals who had just reached adulthood."
"They are that powerful?" Qin Muling asked.
"Yes, with my current cultivation level, I can only deal with one at most. Any more than that, and it's impossible! They have peculiar and troublesome abilities. Ordinary Divine Abilities and Innate Spiritual Treasures have no effect on them," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao explained with a serious tone, not feeling embarrassed at all. In the chaos and void, such things were really not uncommon. No one had the confidence to claim that they were invincible.
"Alright, I will handle them properly," Qin Muling said, focusing his gaze on the void outside and silently deducing the heavenly secrets, preparing to take action.
After a while, the speed of the Starship suddenly slowed down without any warning.
"They're here!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said nervously.
Without hesitation, Qin Muling's body was enveloped in black and white flames, and his aura surged rapidly. Soon, he surpassed the threshold of the peak Golden Immortal and stepped into the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, followed by the Great Principal Golden Immortal level.
The price was burning forty thousand years of lifespan in exchange for an hour of experiencing the power of the Great Principal Golden Immortal.
The enormous Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus shadow appeared once again, and this time it was much more solid than before, almost reaching the point of being indistinguishable from reality. The range covered by the Azure Lotus shadow expanded from the previous ten thousand li to nearly three million li.
Under its influence, the violent and turbulent chaos tide calmed down, revealing the strange fish lurking deep within the chaotic currents.
Those were chaotic ferocious beasts, each measuring over a thousand zhang in length, resembling crocodiles and sharks but not quite. They possessed a fierce and brutal aura. They were also gregarious creatures, and if one dared to provoke them, it would attract a large group of the same kind!
However, now, with Qin Muling's actions, the enormous Azure Lotus shadow slowly suppressed them, and the sealing power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Formation Flag instantly immobilized these dozens of chaotic ferocious beasts.
