Chapter 244 Emperor Bing Chan: Are You Still Serious?
Chapter 244 Emperor Bing Chan: Did you really believe it?
Yan Qinyang has never regretted being the head of the Jade Pearl Star Palace as much as he does now.
A few years ago, due to the calamity caused by the Demon Race, his highly anticipated direct disciple and, in fact, his illegitimate child, Yan Lingji, was severely injured on the battlefield. His cultivation was completely destroyed, and his foundation was ruined. Moreover, this time, the Palace of Calamitous Fate did not come to their aid.
This blow almost caused Yan Qinyang to lose his composure. After all, although he had many children, there was only one son who had outstanding talent and the ability to take on the future responsibilities of the sect. The other exceptional geniuses and prodigies were not related to him by blood, so there was still a gap between them.
After waiting for the calamity to temporarily come to an end, Yan Qinyang was still pondering how to save Yan Lingji. Then, another disastrous news came: the once fallen Genesis Star Palace had been revived. Many former disciples and members had returned and started investigating the mastermind behind the plundering of the Sacred Land.
They first targeted the Jade Pearl Star Palace, as this sect had the most powerful experts involved in the events of that time and caused the most havoc!
The conditions set by the Genesis Star Palace were to unconditionally return all the treasures taken from the Sacred Land, without exception, including every brick and tile, and to provide sufficient resources as compensation!
The attitude of the Genesis Star Palace was extremely firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
As expected, Yan Qinyang firmly refused.
The high-level members of the Jade Pearl Star Palace did not want to compensate, nor could they afford to do so.
Moreover, so many forces were involved in the plundering of the Sacred Land back then. Why should they only target their sect? If you have the ability, go ask them for compensation!
Then, a scene unfolded where a large number of cultivators from the Genesis Star Palace besieged the main gate of the Jade Pearl Star Palace.
At first, the high-level members of the Jade Pearl Star Palace were still determined. They immediately dispatched a large group of elders to fight back, relying on the advantage of their defensive formation, hoping that even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't suffer too much. They wanted to use this as a basis for negotiation.
Unfortunately, the Jade Pearl Star Palace, which had just experienced the calamity caused by the Demon Race, suffered significant losses in terms of high-end combat power. Facing the absolute advantage of the Genesis Star Palace in all aspects, they could only withstand the attack for less than half a day before suffering heavy casualties.
The half-crippled Quasi-Saint Emperor couldn't hold back any longer and forced himself to take action, but he was killed on the spot, unable to even preserve his physical body.
Now, the enemy has already reached their doorstep. It's like having a knife at their throat. Whether they fight or make peace, they must make a decision as soon as possible.
"...Head of the sect,"
Core Elder Xie Changqing hurriedly arrived, looking defeated. He said, "Six core nodes of the defensive formation have collapsed under the heavy burden. It will take at least three days to repair them to their original state!"
"Then let them repair it!" Yan Qinyang's expression became even more grim. But given the current situation, even if they repair it, what difference would it make? Faced with the relentless attacks of a powerful enemy, it's likely that as soon as they finish repairing, more nodes of the formation will collapse under the pressure.
Xie Changqing gritted his teeth and said urgently, "This won't do. If we let them continue attacking, the foundation of our sect, which has been passed down for millions of years, may truly be in danger of being overturned! Can't we negotiate with them again?"
"Do you think I don't know?" Yan Qinyang sighed bitterly, raised his hand, and set up multiple layers of shielding formations with his divine ability. Then, he transmitted his voice through his divine sense, "I have already checked the secret archives sealed by the sect. The female emperor leading them should be the former Saint's first disciple: Fairy Bing Chan. She should now be called Emperor Bing Chan."
"Her cultivation should be higher than the three at Dao Court by a small margin, and she possesses an Innate treasure. That's why she was able to severely injure many of our Great Principal Golden Immortals with just one strike. Breaking through our mountain protection formation is only a matter of time."
The power disparity between the two sides is too great. Even during the peak of Jade Pearl Star Palace before the Demon Race calamity, they would have struggled to resist the army of Genesis Star Palace.
Xie Changqing remained silent for a moment before asking, "If we surrender now, is it still possible?"
Yan Qinyang helplessly replied, "Many of the resources we obtained from there have already been spent, some were destroyed in the conflict, and the compensation they demanded is impossible to gather without emptying the sect's treasury. If we don't bite the bullet and endure, what else can I do?"
Unable to win and unable to afford the consequences, it seems that surrendering unconditionally is the only option.
As for reinforcements? They don't exist!
Once those formerly close allies, sects, and families heard that the incoming enemy was Genesis Star Palace, they all scattered and kept their distance.
Even the high-level members of Dao Court have explicitly refused Jade Pearl Star Palace's request for help. It is clear that the three giants of Dao Court do not want to confront Genesis Star Palace for them.
As for the elders who are currently injured and sleeping in our Grotto-Heaven secret realm, they were already exhausted during the Demon Race calamity and there are very few experts who can still fight. They are essentially useless.
So now, Yan Qinyang's heart is filled with nothing but despair.
Outside the mountain protection formation.
Emperor Bing Chan, the elegant and noble woman, stood quietly in the void, holding a shining golden sword in her delicate hand. A large purple-gold dragon seal and a red-gold, mist-covered long banner floated lightly by her side, surrounded by radiant light and purple clouds. The majestic aura filled the void, indicating her extraordinary status.
Behind her stood dozens of high-level immortals dressed in various styles, of all ages and genders, all of them at the peak of the Great Principle realm, and even some at the half-step Quasi-Saint Emperor level.
Below them was an endless expanse of void land, protected by a transparent and resilient egg-white-like sky barrier. Inside the sky barrier were thousands of disciples and cultivators of Jade Pearl Star Palace, floating in mid-air, their faces filled with despair and resentment, trembling as they watched the situation outside the mountain protection formation.
Around Emperor Bing Chan, a total of 365 high-level immortals formed the core of the formation, with 1,296 immortals in the middle, and 3,000 immortals on the outer layer. The outermost layer was composed of 84,000 immortals, creating such a magnificent formation.
With Emperor Bing Chan personally overseeing the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the destructive power of this terrifying killing formation was earth-shattering. Jade Pearl Star Palace's mountain protection formation had already been damaged everywhere, with smoke and fire erupting from the explosions of the formation nodes.
In the void, hurricanes raged, tens of thousands of miles wide mountain peaks, meteorites with diameters of thousands of miles, and lightning dragons stretching tens of thousands of miles all condensed and formed within the formation. They roared and crashed down, heavily landing on the resilient sky barrier, causing it to explode and creating beautiful milky-white ripples that spread in circles into the distance.
Every time this happened, the brilliance of the sky barrier would dim for a moment, but it would quickly recover after a few breaths, showing its astonishing defensive power.
However, as the attacks from the formation above became more and more intense, with various powerful Divine Abilities raining down like a storm, the consumption of the sky barrier became increasingly apparent, to the point where it could no longer bear the burden.
Since the start of the battle, the sky barrier had been on the verge of collapse, its brilliance fading to the extreme. As long as Emperor Bing Chan continued to attack, complete collapse was inevitable.
The high-level members of Jade Pearl Star Palace had sent messages multiple times, their attitude softening each time, requesting Emperor Bing Chan to stop the attack and sit down for negotiations, willing to discuss any conditions.
However, Emperor Bing Chan remained unmoved, her attitude unchanged: except for unconditional surrender, everything else was off the table!
Dare they not agree?
Then let the ancestral foundation of the sect collapse, and let all the disciples of the sect perish!
But from the perspective of the high-level members of the Jade Pearl Star Palace, how could they really surrender? Hand over the ancestral heritage that has been passed down for millions of years?
Of course, Emperor Bing Chan doesn't care at all. If they don't want to surrender, then let's attack their stronghold! Flatten their foundation and kill all the disciples! The result will be the same anyway.
"...Senior Sister Bing Chan!"
A beautiful young girl who looks about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a deep purple fairy dress, flew over on a cloud. She held a delicate flower basket radiating with divine light on her fair wrist. After bowing, she said, "Since the Jade Pearl Star Palace is about to be finished, where should we go next? Yanfu Holy Demon Palace or Jade Drop Divine Temple?"
The destruction of the Jade Pearl Star Palace is already certain, so the choice of the next target depends on Emperor Bing Chan's decision. Those forces that participated in the looting of the Sacred Land back then cannot stay out of it.
Emperor Bing Chan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's choose Jade Drop Divine Temple, after all, it's not far away! Of course, compared to this matter, I am more concerned about where the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed has gone. This is the most important task entrusted by the master!"
The girl in the purple dress blinked her big beautiful eyes and thought, "Since it has already taken shape, it should remember us, remember the master. It should know that we have returned to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, so it will definitely come back to find us."
A complex expression appeared in Emperor Bing Chan's eyes, and he sighed softly, "In theory, that's how it should be, but in reality... who knows! That guy..."
"What about him?"
"Nothing,"
Emperor Bing Chan changed the subject, "Let's prepare in advance. After breaking through here, we must block the surrounding void and not let a single disciple of the Jade Pearl Star Palace escape!"
The girl in the purple dress nodded, "Okay."
After a pause, she couldn't help but say, "I still think we should find him as soon as possible. I'm only one step away from the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm. It won't be easy to pass this hurdle without his help. And... we sisters made a promise back then, that when he takes shape, we..."
"That's enough!"
Emperor Bing Chan's expression turned cold, "That was just a joke by the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond. Did you really take it seriously? Besides, the master hasn't expressed any opinion. Do you dare to think about things that shouldn't be thought of? Aren't you afraid of being punished when the master comes back?"
"I know!"
The girl in the purple dress pouted and muttered as she turned away, "I didn't say anything! Really..."
Emperor Bing Chan sighed inwardly, feeling a hint of bitterness. Although he hadn't taken shape back then, he could communicate with his sisters through divine consciousness. So when they had nothing to do, they loved to stay by the Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond and chat with him, telling him about many things happening in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Unfortunately, the master had to temporarily take them away in order to pursue the path of becoming a Saint Emperor and achieve ultimate transcendence. Little did they know that this temporary departure would last for millions of years, and when they returned, the once Sacred Land had completely changed, and even he himself was nowhere to be found.
The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed cannot be killed, or rather, with the means available in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, it is difficult to truly kill him. At most, it can be sealed and suppressed.
So, if he has indeed transformed into an intelligent being walking in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, he should still remember himself, right? Then why doesn't he want to come back?
Well, let's not think about that for now. Perhaps he has some difficulties? When we find him in the future, everything will become clear.
Lost in thought, Emperor Bing Chan redirected his attention to the current battle situation.
The high-level members of Jade Pearl Star Palace endured seven days and nights of excruciating agony. Then, the celestial dome formed by the protective mountain formation slowly crumbled amidst earth-shattering rumblings, transforming into a magnificent display of scattered colorful clouds. The violent fluctuations of spiritual energy created countless storm vortexes in the sky.
"It's over..."
Yan Qinyang, still nursing old wounds, blacked out and lost consciousness.
...
Illusory Mist Secret Realm.
Inside the luxurious chamber of the floating giant ship, after certain unspeakable sounds finally came to an end, the excessively large red jade phoenix embroidered bed ceased its subtle trembling.
Inside the curtains, Qin Muling lazily lay down, with a pair of beautiful individuals embracing him on either side. His eyes half-closed, a faint rose-red color remained on his snowy complexion. His gaze was enchanting and filled with a blissful infatuation, like a well-fed and satisfied cat.
"Those girls, it would be best if their seclusion lasts a bit longer," Luo Wanqing held the beautiful youth in her arms, her red lips nibbling on his earlobe as she exhaled fragrant breath. "Little junior brother, why don't you stay here with us a bit more and not bother with those foxy women outside, alright?"
Qin Muling helplessly replied, "We can't go too far. Otherwise, when they ask about it later, how do you plan to explain?"
Xue Bingxuan and the others are in seclusion at Imperial Dao Peak, consolidating their Mysterious Immortal realm. Princess Long Yi also did not come over, so the only senior sisters accompanying Qin Muling are Luo Wanqing and Yu Binghua. Su Yuanzhen's cultivation is too high to benefit from this, so she can only observe from the side.
Yu Binghua lazily turned over, her voluptuous and seductive body pressing against Qin Muling. Her voice was soft and charming as she said, "It's fine to delay a few days, right? Our progress in cultivation is already falling behind. How can we not take this opportunity to catch up?"
Qin Muling chuckled in his heart. You all have a good idea, but who knows if they will use the same method to deal with you in the future?
However, Fourth Senior Sister originally had the same level of cultivation as them, without any distinction. But now, due to entering the sect later, she has fallen behind by quite a bit. It's understandable that she feels unbalanced.
As for Yu Binghua, her thoughts are even more complicated. Although her current cultivation is not as high as Xue Bingxuan and the others, she surpasses Qi Shuyu, Su Yunmo, and other familiar senior sisters by a lot. Therefore, they often complain when they meet.
However, persuading Qin Muling to treat everyone equally and let them enter the sect as soon as possible is not easy in the short term, especially since Princess Long Yi is waiting in line ahead.
Of course, with the current level of cultivation of Qi Shuyu and the others, it is possible for them to jump ahead if both the Sect Master and Qin Muling approve.
At this moment, Su Yuanzhen, who had been silent all along, gently approached. Her glossy and beautiful lips slightly parted, and she shyly asked, "Little junior brother, is it good for senior sister to give you a leg massage this time?"
"Well..." Qin Muling looked at this graceful and gentle beauty, her voluptuous and seductive body tender enough to squeeze out water. Waves of light shimmered in her beautiful eyes. The collar with golden threads embedded in her swan-like jade neck emitted a captivating glow. Her milky white breasts were like perfectly shaped small watermelons, flawless even under the most critical gaze.
Su Yuanzhen smiled softly and climbed up on her own initiative, her snake-like jade arms encircling his waist. "There will be such a day sooner or later. Serving little junior brother is a responsibility that senior sisters cannot refuse, so..."
She smoothed her black and silky ink-like long hair, slightly lowered her head, and began to give Qin Muling a careful leg massage...
