Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 252: Being Attentive Without Any Task

Although Yu Lingzhou had not sensed any potential danger, she did not dare to take it lightly. Therefore, she decided to let Qin Muling be under the heavy protection of the female immortals, while she herself took on the task of exploring.

The collapsed main gate, the unrecognizable town's mountain beast sculptures, and the thousands of steps at the end of the wide straight road, all paved with unknown jade crystal bricks, still showed the grand and magnificent scene of the past despite being extremely dilapidated.

Most of the palaces and pavilions inside were already in ruins. The scattered debris and bricks emitted a faint spiritual light, exuding a sense of dignity that seemed to be present yet absent. Occasionally, remnants of incomplete formations that were still in operation could be found.

Yue Yi, the Heavenly Lord, seemed to be lost in thought. If it were the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace from before, he would definitely consider clearing this relic and recycling all the materials, which would be a huge fortune. However, now that the upper echelons of the sect had rapidly expanded their wealth, they probably no longer cared about such benefits.

As they went deeper into the relic, they discovered more and more high-quality materials. For example, on the jade stone steps in front of a certain palace ruins, six black giant cauldrons, each several zhang tall, were arranged in a row. Surprisingly, their material was the Golden Crow Star Dust, which was one of the main materials used to refine High Grade protective Law Treasures in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. It was also used in the refinement of top-grade Law Treasures.

"This is too wasteful, simply..." Yu Lingzhou, who was skilled in artifact refining, shook her head. In the end, she couldn't bear to waste them, so she ordered the elders to collect any materials that could be used to refine High Grade Law Treasures, as well as any types of spiritual ore that were not found in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and bring them back.

On a square spanning tens of thousands of hectares, Qin Muling saw the expected scene.

Countless cultivator corpses were lying in all directions. Due to the passage of time, their flesh had long decayed, and their Law Treasure weapons were equally dilapidated, barely recognizable as human-shaped.

The destruction caused by various powerful Divine Abilities, Law Treasures, and sword qi could be seen everywhere. There were huge craters spanning dozens of li, pitch-black cracks hundreds of li long and bottomless, with remnants of sharp Sword Intent lingering at the edges. There were also square-shaped, hundreds of zhang deep giant wells with smooth walls like mirrors, obviously created by some kind of seal-type Law Treasure. The palaces and buildings around the square were affected, leaving behind only a few remnants.

Analyzing the style and design of the tattered clothing, it seemed that the cultivators involved in the battle were divided into three factions, evenly matched to the point where they all perished here. Perhaps there were some survivors who escaped afterwards, but they didn't have time to clean up the bodies of their fellow sect members.

"What a pity, why couldn't they leave something behind?" Yu Lingzhou's powerful divine sense swept across the entire square, and wherever it passed, the charred skeletons, clothing, and fragments of Law Treasures turned into dust, without a single intact item to be seen.

Qin Muling smiled and said, "It's been too long. If there were really things that could remain intact until now, they would have to be at least Acquired Spiritual Treasure level."

Yu Lingzhou nodded, "That's true. Let's continue deeper. I don't believe that such a large relic would have nothing good left!"

So the women continued to move forward, passing through many vast palace ruins areas. They collected a lot of various rare materials and also discovered several battlefields where cultivators had fought and perished. The total number of severely damaged bodies had already exceeded five hundred thousand, and their cultivation strengths during their lifetime were generally not low.

After a while, when Qin Muling, surrounded by the women, passed through an exceptionally magnificent giant gate, she finally discovered something different.

...

Imperial Dao Peak, Supreme Cave Mansion of the Sect Master.

Emperor Qing Huan was nowhere to be seen at the moment. Only Emperor Xin Yu, accompanied by Mu Yinghua and several core elders who stayed behind, was entertaining the sudden visit of a distinguished guest, Supreme Sect Master of the Divine Maiden Sect, Emperor Tong Yin.

Among the numerous Supreme lineages, Apex Level sects, and super families in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, most of the heads of the families had cultivation levels at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and there were not many strong individuals at the Great Principal Golden Immortal level, let alone the rare Quasi-Saint Emperor level.

The reason why Emperor Tong Yin was able to achieve the quasi-saint level a hundred years ago was said to be due to the considerable help from Emperor Qing Huan. After all, she was also a saintess who had come out of the Divine Maiden Sect before, but later left the sect and entered the Dao Court for various reasons. She had repeatedly obtained great opportunities and finally achieved the quasi-saint level, establishing her own lineage.

Therefore, until now, the Divine Maiden Sect was one of Emperor Qing Huan's staunch supporters, and the intimacy of the relationship between the two families far exceeded that of other strategic allies.

Therefore, behind the Divine Maiden Sect, there are two Quasi-Saint Emperors or peak-level Emperor Emperors standing, so that the influence of the entire sect has dramatically increased, and it is no longer inferior to the old Supreme traditions such as the Ji Clan, the Palace of Calamitous Fate, and the Great Brahman Sound Monastery.

"...Sister, why do you have time to visit today?"

Mu Yinghua's beautiful face was adorned with a faint smile as her gaze fell upon the stunning beauty sitting across from her.

Her face was as beautiful as a peony, exuding an air of grace and nobility. Her bright and noble eyes were clear and translucent. Under the golden embroidered dragon and phoenix pattern on her magnificent palace dress, her bust and hips were unusually full and round, exuding a unique dominance. Even the exceptionally luxurious dress couldn't conceal it. It was unimaginably shocking and visually impactful if she were to take it off.

Of course, apart from cultivation, Mu Yinghua was confident that she was not inferior to the other party in any aspect. Moreover, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace also had a Quasi-Saint Emperor, and the female cultivators in their sect were not inferior to the female disciples of the Divine Maiden Sect in terms of talent, appearance, and character.

Emperor Tong Yin pursed her lips and smiled, her voice clear and elegant like the sound of shattered jade: "Our two families have been close allies for many years, and it is only natural for us to visit each other frequently. Hmm, the main reason for my visit this time is to ask for something."

Mu Yinghua nodded, "Sister, please go ahead and speak."

Currently, the calamity caused by the Demon Race has not yet subsided, and the Illusory Mist Secret Realm is reopening. The disciples of various sects are busy entering the secret realm to seek opportunities. Emperor Tong Yin, who should be presiding over her own sect's main altar, has come to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace with great fanfare. The purpose of her visit can be easily guessed.

Emperor Tong Yin nodded slightly, "During the past period of time, in order to resist the invasion of the descendants of the Demon Race, your side has been under considerable strain in various aspects. I heard that you are about to select a large number of new disciples to replenish the core lineup, so I assume your financial resources are a bit tight? Therefore... I thought of supporting Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace with some resources. After all, we have been allies for many years, and it is only right for us to watch over and support each other. What do you think, little sister?"

Due to financial difficulties, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has borrowed from allied sects many times in the past nearly ten thousand years, with Divine Maiden Sect being one of them. Emperor Tong Yin has also been generous, extending a helping hand each time without demanding harsh conditions.

To be fair, Mu Yinghua is quite grateful to Emperor Tong Yin. However, this time, she took the initiative to offer help, which is a first.

In fact, with the vast amount of rare resources in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is not lacking in money now. However, this secret cannot be revealed to outsiders. Considering Emperor Qing Huan's shrewdness, it is also impossible for her to reveal even a word to the Divine Maiden Sect.

Mu Yinghua raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Since it's sister's goodwill, there is no reason for me to refuse. I wonder what sister's request is for Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?"

There is no harm in being polite, but it may also be a cover for ulterior motives.

Although it is somewhat inappropriate to use this phrase to describe the Divine Maiden Sect, as the relationship between the two sects used to be quite good, it does not mean that Emperor Tong Yin has no other intentions.

"Little sister, you should take a look at the list first!"

Emperor Tong Yin took out a jade pendant and handed it to Mu Yinghua. The list inside required hundreds of different types of resources, with twenty billion Supreme Grade Spirit Crystals ranking first. Following that were pills, talismans, Law Weapons, and some special resources specifically for female cultivators, all in large quantities.

Even for the large and powerful Divine Maiden Sect, this is an extravagant gift. To come up with it all at once, even a Quasi-Saint Emperor would have to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

"It's rare for sister to be so thoughtful," Mu Yinghua pondered after reading the list. "But there is no free lunch in the world. What does sister intend to do? It's better to speak up. Otherwise, I dare not accept such a generous gift."

"In fact, it is also beneficial for your side," Emperor Tong Yin's gaze flickered as she finally revealed her intentions. "My most valued disciple, Fairy Qing Chan, has recently broken through to the Profound Immortal realm. The Divine Ability she cultivates requires a talented partner to cultivate together in order to achieve perfection. So, I thought, why not let your Qin Muling marry her? This way, the relationship between our two families will be even closer in the future!"

Mu Yinghua: "..."

This chapter is a bit short. I will make up for it tomorrow.
