Chapter 309: Rules of Turning the Sign
This meeting has been going on for quite a long time.
Mu Yinghua and the elders are all feeling uneasy. Although the Palace of Calamitous Fate is currently unable to threaten the safety of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
The founding ancestors of the Palace of Calamitous Fate have returned first, so it is possible that other sects and forces, as long as someone has ascended, will also return in the near future. It goes without saying how lively the Extreme Void Starry Sky will be at that time.
There is a very serious problem: if the ancestors of certain hostile forces return, but the ancestors of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace have not yet returned, the situation will undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable for the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, even if this time window is short.
Not to mention, the legendary owner of the Genesis Star Palace has not yet appeared. Once she returns, it is hard to say whether the Dao Court, together with the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance, can contend with her.
And the day of her return is not far away.
"...If Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the others can come back early, I wonder if they can resist the owner of the Genesis Star Palace?" Yu Lingzhou said softly. The formations and restrictions inside and outside the Cave Mansion have been activated, so they can discuss without worrying about being detected by the other side.
Mu Yinghua pondered for a moment and looked at his personal disciple, "Perhaps only Mu Ling can answer this question?"
Suddenly, all eyes focused on him.
Qin Muling shook his head, "I can't say for sure either. I have never seen what she looks like, let alone seen her make a move, so I can't judge."
During the long years before he took form, he had always been sleeping in the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond. During this time, the owner of the Genesis Star Palace would occasionally appear and communicate with the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, but her appearance was always hidden in layers of magnificent radiance, and no one could see her clearly.
As for her cultivation strength, it is even harder to judge. Since the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed has memories, the owner of the Star Palace has been recognized as the strongest in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the existence closest to the Supreme Primordial Saint.
Until now, even if there were rumors that the owner of the Star Palace had successfully made the final breakthrough and became a true Supreme Saint, the high-level members of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would not be too surprised.
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan fell silent for a moment and said, "If Emperor Jun's eight junior sisters can become Quasi-Saint Emperors in time, can we protect our junior brother in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?"
It is the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, not the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
From the perspective of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, even the few families in the Female Cultivators Union Alliance cannot be fully trusted.
As long as their ancestors can return first, and there are enough Quasi-Saint Emperors, it is possible that they will think of monopolizing and taking Qin Muling away.
Don't think it's impossible. They are fully capable of doing such shameless things.
So if we want Qin Muling to stay in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, we need to quickly give birth to enough Quasi-Saint Emperors to ensure the sect's influence in the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
"Should... should be possible, right?"
Mu Yinghua said uncertainly, but deep down she felt anxious. Even Emperor Feng Ge, who was closest to a breakthrough, hadn't made it yet. It was even harder to say for the remaining seven. Who knows how long they would have to wait?
The elders sighed one after another, their gazes towards Qin Muling complex and inexplicable. Now, every force outside was eyeing him, one after another.
In order to ensure Qin Muling's safety, the higher-ups of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were extremely worried and had exhausted all means, but still couldn't guarantee complete safety.
"Can we guarantee thirty years of safety?"
Qin Muling asked. He was thinking that after he advanced to the Profound Immortal stage, the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment would further enhance its effects. Maybe it could help Emperor Feng Ge achieve his wish, as well as his other seven senior sisters, including Emperor Xin Yu.
But given Qin Muling's growth speed, it might not actually take that long.
Mu Yinghua nodded slightly, "If it only takes thirty years, it shouldn't be a problem. Hmm..."
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the lotus seeds in Qin Muling's hand. He had given her one last time, and now she wasn't far from reaching the Third Grade Great Principal Golden Immortal realm. It showed how amazing its effects were.
But Qin Muling had made it clear to her that there would only be one lotus seed for each realm, so it couldn't be rushed.
If they could have one or two more of these lotus seeds and distribute them to suitable candidates, it might be possible to create new Quasi-Saint Emperors. However, from Qin Muling's perspective, this matter was particularly difficult to handle.
No matter who they were given to, the remaining few would inevitably feel resentful, thinking that Qin Muling was showing favoritism and not treating everyone equally. So, for the sake of harmony and stability in his harem, it would be better not to give any at all.
Forget it, let's wait for now! The current situation inside and outside the sect is still stable. There's no need to rush. When the situation changes in the future, we can consider this matter.
"That's settled then."
Qin Muling finally said, "As long as we have another thirty years of stable development, I am confident that I can cultivate more Great Principle-level powerhouses for the sect. As for the Quasi-Saint Emperors, it shouldn't be a big problem."
After breaking through to the Profound Immortal stage, he would receive three new lotus seeds, in addition to the two from the True Immortal stage. In theory, he could create five new Emperor-level beings. By then, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have six Quasi-Saint Emperors, enough to ensure its dominant position in the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
But in doing so, Qing Huan, Tong Ying, and the other female Emperor-level beings couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy. They would inevitably start thinking about asking Qin Muling for a lotus seed.
Of course, as Qin Muling's cultivation progressed, his own influence would also increase. He could directly refuse any arrangements made by the Emperor-level beings that he didn't like.
"Can't we try to contact Ancestor Qing Yao and ask her to come back early? Even if we send a few Emperor-level beings back as a vanguard."
Immortal Lord Bai Quan couldn't help but speak up.
"......"
The elders fell into silence simultaneously, no one responded to her words.
Qin Muling did not find this strange. Mu Yinghua had discussed this matter with her last time. The uncertainty was too great. Unless absolutely necessary, even Emperor Xin Yu was not very willing to take this step, let alone these descendants who had never seen Immortal Venerable Qing Yao before.
Finally, Mu Yinghua reluctantly said, "I will try, but whether it will succeed or not depends on fate."
At this moment, Immortal Lord Baiquan also realized that his thoughts were a bit reckless, so he stopped saying anything more.
Next, the elders discussed the issue of the calamity caused by the Demon Race. As the number of high-ranking descendants of the Demon Race appearing on the battlefield increased, the surviving forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky felt more and more pressure. However, there was no better solution. In order to prevent the sect's foundation from collapsing, they could only grit their teeth and endure.
Now, only Dao Court, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, and a few ancient tribes were able to support other forces while protecting themselves, but this situation could not last long.
On the battlefield, the high-level demon descendants who led the attack on the territories of the major sects had transitioned from mainly being Golden Immortals to now being mainly Taiyi Golden Immortals. In extreme cases, they would even appear in groups, causing great suffering to the attacked sects.
Based on Qin Muling's intuition, when a large number of Great Principle-level powerhouses among the high-level demon descendants appeared, at least half of the surviving sects in the Extreme Void Starry Sky would be destroyed.
As for the future, whether a large number of Quasi-Saint Emperor-level demon descendants would emerge, it was hard to say.
In this era of impending calamity, anything was possible.
Regardless of the high-level members of Dao Court or the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, they were not very concerned about the safety of other forces at the moment. They were grateful as long as they could protect their own territories and interests. Who knew how many calamities and changes would occur in the future? Preserving as much strength as possible was the way to go.
"...Our current strength is still sufficient," Mu Yinghua said, "So I propose that we send more manpower to sit and guard certain core territories and important defense lines to enhance our ability to deal with unexpected situations and ensure that nothing goes wrong. What do you elders think?"
"Very well, I have no objections," Yu Lingzhou immediately expressed his support, and most of the other elders also agreed. Thus, the matter was settled.
Next was the selection and assessment of a new batch of outer and inner disciples. Due to the rapid rise in strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the number of candidates for this batch far exceeded previous ones, reaching several million.
Although only one percent of them would ultimately be selected, the absolute number was still quite large. Moreover, Qin Muling's role in the selection process was crucial.
Of course, now that she had reached the True Immortal cultivation level, it was not difficult for her to assess those junior disciples who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. She could do it without missing anyone, and the consumption of her own energy was minimal.
At any time, the replenishment and cultivation of new blood in the sect was of utmost importance. Moreover, this time, Mu Yinghua planned to select a group of suitable talents and hide them in a secluded and remote Immortal Domain as the sect's last hope.
If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace really encounters a catastrophe in the future, these disciples will be the hope for the continuation and inheritance of the sect.
Qin Muling didn't say much about this. In fact, almost every Supreme lineage force has similar plans and arrangements in times of crisis. The only difference lies in whether they are effective or not.
For example, the Bright Moon Sword Sect and Nine Spirits Clear Origin Gate, which were destroyed by Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the past, had secret revival bases. However, under Qin Muling's divination, they were eventually discovered and eliminated.
After more than an hour, the meeting finally ended.
The elders stood up and bowed to the Supreme Sect Master again before leaving the Cave Mansion in groups to attend to their own affairs. Only Qin Muling remained seated in place.
"Younger Junior Brother, what are you still doing here?" Yu Lingzhou walked to the entrance of the Cave Mansion and turned back to see that Qin Muling hadn't followed. She couldn't help but call out to him, thinking of taking him out for a drink and a bath.
Mu Yinghua calmly said, "Elder Yu, you go ahead and busy yourself. Palace Master and I have something to discuss."
"Alright..." Yu Lingzhou knew that she couldn't count on it this time and reluctantly agreed.
When there was no one else in the Cave Mansion, Qin Muling walked up to the high platform and lightly climbed onto the cloud bed behind Mu Yinghua, wrapping his hands around her voluptuous body.
"I have made a decision. Starting from today, I will establish a rule for your senior sisters and junior sisters," Qin Muling said softly after a moment of tenderness.
Mu Yinghua embraced Qin Muling and spoke gently, "In the future, anyone who wants to cultivate together, including your senior sisters, must not disturb us without your summons. Violators will be severely punished. What do you think?"
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that be too strict for my senior sisters? It would be like the relationships between emperors and concubines in secular dynasties. It shouldn't be like this, right?"
"It may be strict, but isn't it for your own ease?" Mu Yinghua said, "Otherwise, you will be constantly entangled by them, unable to find peace in anything. In the long run, it will not only hinder your cultivation progress, but also disrupt the rules, especially for those female cultivators from those few sects."
"Alright, I will listen to the Sect Master," Qin Muling said, as his hands naturally moved down and reached for the hidden buckle of the Sect Master's waistband, skillfully undoing it...
Today, the fever is not as severe, but the sense of smell and taste are basically lost. Eating feels like chewing wax, and thinking is slow. The difficulty of conceiving a plot has increased by an order of magnitude. The taste of it all is really hard to describe. The lethality of this virus is truly terrifying...
