Chapter 144: Be Prepared
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
In the Cave Mansion of the Palace Master on Imperial Dao Peak, Mu Yinghua furrowed her brows as she read the information transmitted by the jade talisman in her hand. After pondering for a while, she turned to Xue Bingxuan, who was sitting below her, and said,
"You will go back later and collect all the things used by Qin Muling. The most important parts can be sealed, and the less important ones should be burned. Remember to handle it cleanly! Later, I will have the elders set up a formation and perform another divination shield."
Upon hearing this, Xue Bingxuan was shocked and asked incredulously, "Master, what are you planning to do?"
Mu Yinghua waved her hand and set up several layers of powerful restrictions around them before whispering, "I mentioned to you before that there seemed to be some changes in that place. So, this is a precautionary measure that we have to take. Don't think too much about it. If you don't want the sect to encounter any unforeseen disasters in the future, do as I say."
"I see."
Xue Bingxuan's face turned pale, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Especially since she had an intimate relationship with Qin Muling, she was deeply involved and likely to be targeted by that mysterious and terrifying existence.
Fortunately, as long as they didn't directly mention those specific sensitive words, they wouldn't be sensed by it and traced back.
Mu Yinghua looked at the gorgeous bright yellow dress on Xue Bingxuan and frowned, "Your clothes have been tainted with Qin Muling's aura. Don't wear them again in the future, and don't bring out similar things either."
"Okay, I understand."
Xue Bingxuan reluctantly agreed. If she followed through with it, it meant that she might temporarily lose the protection of her junior brother's luck. It would be strange if she didn't feel any resistance in her heart.
After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "If... if he's not dead, has he already reached the legendary Hongmeng Supreme realm?"
"How is that possible?"
Mu Yinghua shook her head, "If that were the case, your junior brother would never have had a chance to be born. All the Supreme lineages in the Extreme Void Starry Sky combined wouldn't be enough for him to handle. At most, he would be close to that realm."
"That's good to hear."
Xue Bingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "How long will my junior brother be traveling outside? Senior Sister and the others will be back soon, and if they can't see him, won't they take it out on me?"
In addition, the group of fox-like women who won in the Swordsmanship Conference had long been eyeing Qin Muling. If they were to meet him in the future, wouldn't they do everything they could to seduce him?
Mu Yinghua pondered for a moment and said, "It won't be too long, at most a few years. And Qi Yalan and the others can leave the sect to meet him, so the matter of them being dual-cultivation partners won't be delayed."
Xue Bingxuan's eyes lit up, "In that case, can't I..."
Being separated from Qin Muling for so long, Senior Sister couldn't bear it anymore. If there was a chance to go out, she definitely couldn't miss it.
Mu Yinghua frowned, displeased, "You don't need to think about it. Don't forget, you are the designated successor to the position of the sect's Supreme Master. If you leave, who will take care of the sect's affairs? Do you expect me to handle everything?"
Xue Bingxuan's voice choked, but she immediately said confidently, "Master, you are the Supreme Master. It's only natural for you to handle the sect's affairs. After all, I haven't taken over yet. I should focus on cultivation. Progressing bravely is the right thing to do!"
Although Xue Bingxuan was currently helping Master with some secular matters, it was only a temporary authorization and not an obligation she couldn't refuse. That's why she wanted to quit. This was originally Mu Yinghua's responsibility, so why did it have to fall on her?
Mu Yinghua sneered, "That's impossible. They have gone out to travel, so someone has to stay behind to guard the sect. As the senior sister, it's your duty. Just stay obediently!"
"Besides, you are already in the Origin Immortal Realm, while they are still in the Immortal Ascension realm. We should help them ascend as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you act arrogantly, do you want to offend all your junior sisters?"
Xue Bingxuan was frustrated, but she couldn't openly defy her master. Mu Yinghua's accumulated prestige over the years was not to be taken lightly, even her, as the senior sister, was firmly suppressed.
...
On the Floating Land.
After completing another round of purification, Qin Muling decided to rest for a while and return. Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan didn't say much and held him as they tore through space, returning to the palace city in an instant.
Entering his own study, Chixingzi came to report and brought a list of selected beauties that had already been prepared.
Although this place is somewhat remote and backward, the combined population of the twenty-three floating land masses exceeds 15 billion. With careful searching, it is still possible to select many women who are both beautiful and of good character. In order to please Qin Muling, the new master, the leaders of these small forces are also working hard.
Qin Muling took a look at the list and found that there were six thousand people, with nearly a hundred women at the forefront, all from the small clans and sects. The number of candidates reached as high as twenty thousand.
"Alright, gather all these women tomorrow and send them into the palace city. Don't leave anyone behind, including the candidates. I want to personally review them," Qin Muling ordered.
Chixingzi respectfully said, "There's no problem with that. Tomorrow, you will be able to see them, Master."
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan, who was sitting next to them, was somewhat unhappy. He transmitted his thoughts with divine sense, "How can these ordinary women be qualified to serve our junior brother? If you really need it, why not inform the sect leader and have her select a group of female disciples from the sect?"
Qin Muling shook his head, waved his hand to dismiss Chixingzi, and then explained, "There's no need. I came out to cultivate, I can't indulge in worldly pleasures. It's better not to mention such things. The reason I want to see these women is just to assess their aptitude and potential. As long as they meet the requirements, it wouldn't hurt to send them back to the sect for cultivation."
If viewed from the perspective of ordinary people, these women were carefully selected beauties, enough to be concubines in the mortal dynasty. However, from the standpoint of the major sect cultivators, they were nothing special. Even an outer disciple from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace could be considered a high-quality beauty.
Qin Muling's original intention was just to select suitable seedlings for the sect. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was in the midst of a rapid recovery, and there was a great demand for new blood. So this measure was just right.
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan finally relaxed. With Qin Muling's vision, having a peerless beauty like the senior sister would mean that he wouldn't be interested in these mortal women.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Muling continued, "Senior sister, what was the environment like during your active years? Can the average spiritual energy density on the floating land masses compare to now?"
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan thought seriously and said, "It's definitely different. The average level should have a difference of about thirty percent, and the spiritual essence in some famous Grotto-Heavens and blessed lands was not as abundant as it is now. Even the habitable areas on the floating land masses have naturally expanded since then."
When she was in control of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it was tens of thousands of years ago. After being seriously injured, she had been in a deep sleep until now, and she was able to recover under Qin Muling's divine ability. After seeing the current state of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, it was not difficult to conclude that the entire temporal and spatial environment was indeed slowly recovering.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, as long as there is enough time for recuperation, is it possible for the Extreme Void Starry Sky to fully recover to the glorious era of ancient immortality?"
"In theory, yes, but it would take quite a long time. Without hundreds of years, it's almost impossible. Unless there are external factors that accelerate this process, such as your divine ability, junior brother," Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan said, suddenly realizing something. When Qin Muling undergoes Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension, reaching the realm of the sect leader Supreme, his divine ability will also rise.
By then, what level will he be able to achieve? Will he be able to purify and restore a floating land mass with a radius of millions of miles in one go? Or even more powerful?
Upon careful consideration, this is entirely possible. If thousands of Void Floating Lands can truly be restored to a paradise on earth under Qin Muling's Divine Ability, the blessings of heaven and earth that he would receive might be enough to allow him to reach the level of a Quasi-Saint Emperor.
Of course, this goal is somewhat distant. For now, we must protect Qin Muling and allow him to cultivate peacefully.
Qin Muling seemed to understand her thoughts and said, "This possibility does exist. The only concern is the mysterious presence that constructed and arranged that place. If it detects something amiss in advance, it could be detrimental to me."
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan's gaze became serious. "You can rest assured that the sect will do everything possible to ensure your safety. Moreover, based on my speculation, even if that presence is formidable, at most it would be a Quasi-Saint Emperor. While such an enemy is dangerous and formidable, the combined strength of the entire Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace should be able to handle it."
She thought of the Supreme Elders who were in a deep sleep due to their severe injuries in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm. As long as Qin Muling could help them all recover in the future, it wouldn't be a problem to revitalize the sect, let alone sweep away all the surrounding Supreme Dao of the neighboring Immortal Domains.
Qin Muling nodded. "Alright, let's rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."
"Wait," Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "Junior Brother, the Sect Master told me earlier that although you cannot return to the sect for now, your senior sisters can come out to find you. So..."
Qin Muling asked in surprise, "So what?"
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan blushed slightly. "Senior Sister just wanted to ask, which senior sisters do you plan to invite for dual cultivation?"
"...," Qin Muling looked at her in confusion. "The rule set by the Sect Master is to draw lots to decide, so let her handle this matter. Besides, with my current cultivation level, I can only choose one more. Whoever is drawn will be able to come."
For each major realm advancement, one can have one more Dao companion. Mu Yinghua had made it clear from the beginning, so no matter how many senior sisters coveted this position, it was an unchangeable fact.
Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan said, "No, you can choose two because your eldest senior sister, Xue Bingxuan, will stay in the sect to handle affairs. So her position can temporarily be given to another senior sister. What do you think?"
"..." The mistake has been corrected. There will be an update before dawn! Please support with your votes!
