Chapter 301: Qi Yalan: Really? I don't believe it!
Palace of Calamitous Fate, the main altar.
In the deep bronze hall, a pitch-black altar, ten zhang in diameter and six levels high, made from the bones of unknown exotic beasts, was placed on a platform spanning over a thousand zhang. It emitted a fierce and savage aura, like an ancient beast that roamed the primordial world.
There were thirteen identical altars, placed in different directions. The altars themselves shimmered with a thick, almost transparent, blood-colored flame. Countless distorted and ferocious faces faintly appeared within the flames, emitting a chilling and mournful howl.
Within the Heavenly Human Race, this kind of altar with a long-standing tradition, similar to the ancient witch clan style, was quite common, and there was no shortage of altars with different functions and purposes.
At this moment, under the combined effect of these thirteen bone altars and the grand formation, a spatial portal with a diameter of over twenty zhang, shimmering with colorful lights, slowly took shape in the central area of the formation, solidifying and stabilizing.
Soon, fully armored Heavenly Human Race cultivators with cold and solemn expressions began to emerge from the spatial portal, and were then led to the side by the elders of the Heavenly Human Race who had been waiting there.
Their cultivation levels varied, ranging from the Destiny Realm to the Immortal Transformation stage, Immortal Ascension stage, Origin Immortal, and True Immortal levels. There were thousands upon thousands of cultivators.
Whenever a group of cultivators was transported here, the flames on the altar would visibly dim. As the Heavenly Human Race priests guarding the side threw in blood-red crystals the size of human heads, the replenished flames immediately regained their brightness.
As time passed, powerful beings from the Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal Realm also began to appear in large numbers.
Zi Huang, the Divine Envoy, and Ling Xi stood to the side, their exquisite and ethereal beauty exuding an aura that kept others at a distance. Their eyes gazed at the members of their clan who walked out of the spatial portal with complex expressions.
A few days ago, the closing deadline for the Illusory Mist Secret Realm had arrived. All the Heavenly Human Race members who remained in the Extreme Void Starry Sky should have returned in time and waited for the next opening time.
However, after intense debates among the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Human Race, they believed that at this critical moment of the Extreme Void Starry Sky's calamity, if the Heavenly Human Race did not leave enough power here to hold the fort, their grand plan to seize the luck of this realm would undoubtedly fail.
If the Extreme Void Starry Sky were allowed to safely pass through this calamity, this realm would undoubtedly experience an unprecedented recovery. The luck, the concentration of spiritual energy, and the world's origin would all return to the level of the ancient immortal era.
By then, the cultivation world of the Extreme Void Starry Sky would inevitably become much stronger. What would the Heavenly Human Race have to do with them? Not only would they be able to seize the luck and origin of this realm, but they might even invade the Illusory Mist Secret Realm in return.
Therefore, the nine Quasi-Saint Emperor leaders of the Heavenly Human Race reached a unanimous decision to postpone the closing of the spatial portal. They used forbidden techniques to send more Heavenly Human Race cultivators here, regardless of the cost, and established a deep presence in the Extreme Void Starry Sky during this calamity, striving to seize as many benefits as possible for the Heavenly Human Race, with the Palace of Calamitous Fate as their base.
And so, the scene before them unfolded.
No one knew how many clan members would return alive when this calamity came to an end...
Zi Huang sighed softly in her heart. This kind of calamity was not a joke. Any living being caught in it, regardless of their cultivation level, even if they were Quasi-Saint Emperor leaders, would inevitably meet a tragic end, their countless years of cultivation turning into nothingness.
"Sister," Ling Xi's voice echoed in their spiritual souls, "What are you thinking?"
"What else could it be?" Zi Huang's expression was melancholic. "Although the Emperor leaders have made their decision, I still feel that this operation is too risky. Such a huge investment, in the end, who knows how much benefit we can plunder!"
Ling Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and responded calmly, "The Emperor leaders dare to take risks because they must have a certain degree of confidence. Moreover, the cultivation world of the Extreme Void Starry Sky has always been fragmented, and there is no sect or force that can compete with the Heavenly Human Race. Even the so-called Dao Court is not worth mentioning!"
"It seems that way for now, but I'm afraid that if they join forces to deal with the Heavenly Human Race, even if the nine Quasi-Saint Emperor leaders make a move, it will be difficult to withstand their siege."
Zi Huang couldn't help but express her worries. Despite the long decline of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the cultivation level of the cultivators in this realm has also significantly decreased. Even though they are at the same Quasi-Saint Emperor level, the fighting power of the Heavenly Human Race's Emperor is clearly stronger than that of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
However, the Extreme Void Starry Sky has an undeniable numerical advantage in the cultivation world. Once they feel the immense threat from the Heavenly Human Race and are willing to put aside their differences to cooperate, it will be difficult for the higher-ups of the Heavenly Human Race to gain an advantage.
After all, this is their home ground. As outsiders, the Heavenly Human Race is at a disadvantage in various aspects. If they suffer a major defeat, they will face being surrounded and attacked by multiple forces.
Ling Xi thought for a moment and said, "The Emperors should have also realized this relationship, but they still insist on it, which means they should have enough back-up plans. For example, they might call back those reclusive cultivators who have been traveling in the chaotic void for a long time. In that case, our advantage will be unshakable, and it will be easy to take over this realm, right?"
"Perhaps..."
Zi Huang frowned and pondered for a while, having to admit that her sister's words made sense. The foundation of the Heavenly Human Race is certainly not limited to just nine Quasi-Saint Emperors. If they were to call back all those old folks, the chances of winning this battle would indeed be much greater than she had estimated.
However, this requires enough time to execute, and it is unknown whether they can do it in time. Those ancient relics and living fossils that have been wandering in the depths of the chaotic void for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, who knows where they have gone?
It is already difficult enough to contact them, and if they stubbornly refuse to return, the current higher-ups of the Heavenly Human Race will have no way to deal with them.
Of course, as long as they are willing to find a way, they can still call back some of the old relics to help.
...
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, behind the Imperial Dao Peak.
In mid-air, Qin Muling controlled his speed and swiftly flew back, landing near the entrance of the Sect Master's Cave Mansion. However, he was intercepted by a slender and graceful figure.
"...Little junior brother, what are you planning to do?"
Qi Yalan, dressed in black, with a seductive figure, opened her arms to block Qin Muling, her dark eyebrows furrowed as she asked with a half-smile.
"Of course, I'm going to talk to Master and ask for guidance on my cultivation. It's only natural, isn't it?"
Qin Muling's eyes were clear, and he spoke naturally.
As the direct disciple of the Sect Master, it was only right for him to seek her guidance on any difficult questions regarding cultivation.
"Really? I don't believe it!"
Qi Yalan's eyebrows lightly knitted, her beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly, full of doubt as she spoke.
"I really am seeking guidance on cultivation, nothing else. Third senior sister, don't you want to see me make progress in my cultivation?"
Qin Muling's expression remained innocent. His cultivation advancement was a top priority, and it was well-known that both the Emperor and the Sect Master were constantly paying attention to it. Could there be a problem?
"It sounds like that, but..."
Qi Yalan swayed her slender waist, took a step closer to Qin Muling, her voluptuous and full breasts trembling in front of him, threatening to burst out of her torn clothes, her enchanting beauty within reach.
"But what?"
"But why don't you go find the senior sisters? If I remember correctly, since you joined the sect, it has always been the eldest senior sister who has been responsible for your cultivation matters. Now that you have doubts, shouldn't you seek clarification from her?"
She spoke slowly, her enchanting jade arm lightly stretching out and wrapping around Qin Muling's shoulder, exerting force slowly.
"That was in the past. Now, I have reached the True Immortal realm. Some problems can only be solved smoothly by seeking guidance from our master, isn't that right?" Qin Muling said seriously. Although his senior sisters had already reached the Golden Immortal level, their cultivation had progressed too quickly, and they themselves were probably not fully adapted to the immense power of the Golden Immortal Realm. So, from his perspective, the most appropriate choice would be to seek guidance from their master, Mu Yinghua, or from the elders like Yu Lingzhou, Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi, and Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan.
"Hehe, that's true, but..." Qi Yalan exhaled lightly, her voluptuous and fiery body leaning against him, showing no intention of letting go. "Actually, there's no need to rush to seek guidance from our master. I think, little junior brother, you should spend some time with us first. What do you think?"
"..." Qin Muling's expression froze. The intimate relationship between him and their master had not yet become widely known. Although Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan had suspicions, she had not been able to find solid evidence, and he adamantly denied it. So, his senior sisters couldn't do anything about it.
Anyway, whenever Qin Muling had free time, he would use the excuse of seeking guidance to go to their master's Cave Mansion. And Mu Yinghua, who enjoyed the taste, never refused. Every time, he would serve him so well that he was completely satisfied.
But looking at Senior Sister San's current posture, did she already know something? So she deliberately blocked him here?
"What's wrong? Little junior brother, don't you want to? Are we senior sisters no longer attractive to you?" Qi Yalan's expression turned teary, looking pitiful. Her jade arms wrapped around his shoulder, and her cherry red lips lightly bit his earlobe, slowly sucking on it.
Qin Muling sighed. "In any case, I can't go see our master today, right?"
He could tell that his senior sisters were clearly suspicious, so they used this method to detain him, not giving him a chance to avoid it.
"Little junior brother, what are you saying? How could senior sister hinder your cultivation?" Qi Yalan immediately changed her expression, smiling sweetly. "You've been helping them with Transcending Tribulation these days, and after that, you go to our master for guidance. You haven't spent much time with us! So... senior sister thinks that you should fulfill your duty as a Dao companion first before considering other matters. Isn't this request reasonable?"
"That's right, little junior brother. You won't disappoint senior sisters, right?" A sweet and melodious voice, as pleasant as a warbler, sounded. The graceful figures of Mu Yinshuang, the Saintess of Azure Hill Hall, Luo Qinghan, the Saintess of Flower Dew Palace, and Fairy Qing Chan, the Saintess of Divine Maiden Sect, appeared before him.
Qin Muling took a step back, and a soft and elastic body pressed against him from behind. A pair of jade arms reached down from under his ribs and wrapped around his waist.
"Little junior brother, come and practice with senior sisters!" Yu Binghua's voice sounded in his ear. "The effect of dual cultivation is the same, and it might even be better! You can come to seek guidance anytime, no need to rush."
Fourth senior sister Luo Wanqing's attitude was more direct. "If you don't accompany senior sisters in a fight properly, little junior brother, you won't be able to escape today."
Colorful rays of light flashed one after another, and the figures of Cheng Yulan, Luo Huan, Princess Long Yi, Kong Yuhuan, Feng Xia, and Su Yuanzhen surrounded him, blocking all his retreats like a pack of tigers hunting a flock of sheep.
"Alright... then!" Qin Muling realized where the problem lay. It must be because their master had been taking too much of his Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme each time, to the point where he couldn't recover in time. It was no wonder his senior sisters wouldn't be satisfied with just a small portion.
Where did little junior brother's Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme go? This question was a matter of great importance to his senior sisters and couldn't be easily brushed aside.
So many proud women of the heavens gathered together, it was easy for them to find out some information. Therefore, Qin Muling's recent whereabouts were quickly revealed.
Upon learning the truth, the senior sisters were filled with righteous indignation. The esteemed Supreme Sect Master actually disregarded their dignity and competed with them for the Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme of their junior brother? It was simply too much, and they couldn't tolerate it!
And so, the current scene unfolded.
"You're such a good girl!"
The eldest senior sister, Xue Bingxuan, happily embraced Qin Muling and kissed her. "Let's go, tonight the senior sisters will serve you well and make sure you're satisfied!"
...
In the Cave Mansion of the Supreme Sect Master.
Mu Yinghua, with a calm expression, waved her hand and dispelled the projection mirror of magical power. The scene of the senior sisters intercepting Qin Muling disappeared into thin air.
"A group of troublesome little girls."
She muttered to herself, but didn't say anything. They all understood each other's thoughts, so there was no need to speak.
Beside her, Emperor Qing Huan, Emperor Xin Yu, Emperor Tong Ying, Emperor Lan Hua, and Emperor Jing Lan were all present, witnessing everything happening outside.
"Let's continue the discussion!"
Emperor Qing Huan said in a light tone, "Our peaceful days may not last much longer. The two from the Dao Court have already noticed the significant changes in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, as well as our factions. If we don't give them a satisfactory explanation, it's inevitable that we'll end up in a war."
Her incarnation had already conveyed the intentions of Emperor Xuan Yin and Emperor Wei De, so the five female emperors were now sitting together, discussing how to deal with this matter.
The two of them requested to share opportunities, but from the standpoint of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, how could they possibly reveal Qin Muling's existence? The female emperors would never agree to that.
Emperor Tong Ying smiled indifferently and said, "If it comes to war, it's not a big deal. Their strength is already insufficient in front of us. Even if they can gather some help, it won't change anything!"
"Although that's true, the huge casualties among our disciples and followers are unavoidable."
Emperor Lan Hua pondered. If those two were willing to go all out and exhaust all their resources, they could at least bring in four or five Quasi-Saint Emperor-level allies. Even if they couldn't defeat the Female Cultivators Union Alliance in the end, they could achieve a mutually destructive outcome. The loss of disciples and followers below the Great Principle level would be difficult to estimate.
So, unless it was absolutely necessary, tearing apart their faces and going to war was not a suitable choice.
Emperor Xin Yu contemplated for a moment and said, "We still can't act impulsively. Even if we win this battle, we won't have enough strength to compete for the dominance of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. We would be giving an undeserved advantage to the Heavenly Human Race or other factions."
"Do you have any ideas, senior sister?" Emperor Jing Lan asked with a smile.
"Let's delay and wait for changes."
Emperor Xin Yu said, "Just come up with any excuse to keep them hanging. As long as we can delay for a while longer, when Qin Muling advances to the Profound Immortal realm, she should have the ability to create more Quasi-Saint Emperor-level allies. At that time, no matter how many helpers they bring, it won't change anything!"
