Chapter 143: Terrifying Thoughts
On the desolate and silent wilderness.
A stunning woman dressed in snow-white palace attire, with a voluptuous figure and enchanting demeanor, walked gracefully. Her slender feet and the gorgeous hem of her skirt floated half a foot above the ground, while her clear and beautiful eyes scanned the lifeless earth beneath her.
The soil here was as black as ink, hardened and weathered like stone. From time to time, strands of toxic and corrosive black gas would rise from the ground, lingering in the air and forming a lingering black mist. Not far away, a river over a hundred zhang wide flowed by, its water a lifeless gray-black color.
For ordinary mortals, this place was truly a dangerous land. Even approaching the edge was impossible, let alone venturing deep into it. Only cultivators who had reached the Profound Comprehension Realm could occasionally pass through, but they still couldn't stay for long, as the violent and chaotic spiritual energy tide would still harm them.
At the very least, one had to possess the cultivation of the Infant Formation Realm or have a suitable Law Weapon for protection in order to stay in these dead zones unaffected. Of course, any cultivator with a sane mind would not want to reside in such a desolate and dangerous place.
Without any warning, a wave-like chaotic light appeared in the distance, slowly spreading along the ground, dispersing the deadly black mist and calming the restless spiritual energy. A faint coolness filled the surrounding space.
In her eyes, when the chaotic light spread to an area of two hundred li in radius, it stabilized and began to seep into the depths of the earth, gradually stopping when it reached a depth of over seven hundred zhang.
After a quarter of an hour, the chaotic light slowly disappeared.
She raised her hand and picked up a handful of soil from the ground, examining it closely. By now, the soil had changed color, with the destructive energy within it dissipated and replaced by an extremely faint vitality, slowly growing at an extremely slow pace.
Not far away, a young man in a luxurious purple robe, with star-like eyes and a calm demeanor, arrived in mid-air and greeted with a smile, "Senior Sister Bingyuan, how is this ability?"
This was a request from Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun in private. When traveling outside, Qin Muling could only address her as Senior Sister, not as Master.
Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun nodded gracefully and spoke with a clear and gentle voice, "Very good, but can your body withstand it?"
Qin Muling replied, "It's alright. I can endure for a day and a night. As long as I meditate and rest for an hour, I can recover. It's just that the consumption of medicinal resources is a bit excessive."
Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. With the current financial and material resources of the sect, satisfying your needs alone is not a problem at all. You just need to focus on improving your cultivation."
As she spoke, she naturally reached out and grabbed Qin Muling's hand, transmitting a gentle and mellow spiritual power. Instantly, it replenished all the spiritual power he had consumed.
With Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun's current cultivation, this was just a simple task, and there was no need to use the Purple Citrus Revival Pill.
"Alright, let's go to the next spot."
Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun stepped into the air, holding Qin Muling's hand, and appeared above another dead zone, repeating the purification process.
It had been several months since Qin Muling unified the two sects. After finding a more suitable way to improve his cultivation, he immediately mentioned it to his protector, Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun, and asked for her assistance.
There was no reason for Senior Sister Bingyuan Tianjun to refuse, and she even made a more exaggerated suggestion: if he wanted to improve the purification efficiency and gain more heavenly merits in a short period of time, he could achieve it by continuously taking the Pure Yuan Reincarnation Pill.
The Pure Yuan Reincarnation Pill was even more valuable and effective than the Purple Citrus Revival Pill. Its function was to temporarily elevate one's cultivation realm from the Perfected Being Realm to the True Self Realm, with the effect lasting for half an hour and without any side effects.
In fact, pills that temporarily elevate cultivation realm were not uncommon, but they usually came at the cost of lifespan and potential. Cultivators would not choose to take such self-destructive pills unless they were in a life-or-death situation.
As for those demonic sects and forces, they distributed these pills as standard when cultivating disposable soldiers.
However, the Pure Yuan Reincarnation Pill produced by the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace used various precious Holy Medicines as the main ingredients, supplemented by dozens of Spirit Medicines that nourished vitality. With the careful refinement of a high-level pill master using an Acquired Spiritual Treasure-level pill furnace, it could perfectly avoid any adverse effects, making it particularly precious and rare.
The value of a True Self Realm Pure Yuan Reincarnation Pill was basically equivalent to thirty Purple Citrus Revival Pills. If Qin Muling kept consuming it for cultivation, the annual expenditure would be equivalent to emptying several large spiritual stone veins.
After Mu Yinghua learned about it, without saying a word, she immediately opened the collection in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm and sent over ten thousand Pure Yuan Reincarnation Pills for Qin Muling to use as she pleased. Once she finished using them, the elders would continue to send them to her.
With the abundant supply of Pure Yuan Reincarnation Pills, Qin Muling now had the cultivation of the True Self Realm. Activating her innate Divine Ability only took fifteen minutes, allowing the underground layers within a radius of two hundred miles and a depth of over seven hundred feet to fully recover.
In the past, due to the existence of large dead zones, the chaotic and uncontrolled spiritual energy tides severely affected the climate changes of the entire floating land, causing the environments of normal areas to be repeatedly affected. Various natural disasters constantly plagued the mortal kingdom.
Unless cultivators set up large-scale formations to protect the entire city, it would be difficult for the mortal empire to afford the cost of effectively avoiding the impact of such harsh weather, except for cultivator sects or families with certain strength.
After the disappearance of the dead zones, the atmosphere that protected the floating land became more stable. Various extreme celestial phenomena significantly decreased, and the concentration of spiritual energy also increased significantly, making the floating land more suitable for the proliferation of living beings.
Therefore, after several months of diligent cultivation by Qin Muling, three smaller areas of the floating land had completely recovered, becoming a fertile land with abundant water and grass, and experiencing favorable weather conditions.
As a reward, Qin Muling's cultivation was smoothly pushed to the third level of the Perfected Being Realm, thanks to the blessings of the heavenly and earthly merits she obtained in the dark. With this rate of cultivation, it was estimated that in a little over a year, she would be able to reach the peak of the Perfected Being Realm and have the ability to impact the True Self Realm.
"...I heard that your senior sisters will be returning to the sect in about two months!"
After replenishing Qin Muling's mana once again, the Ice Swallow Celestial Lord spoke, her black eyebrows slightly curved, her smile full of meaning. "At that time, whether you like it or not, it seems you will have to end your travels and return early, right? Those girls who are waiting for you at the Swordsmanship Conference have been waiting for a long time!"
Qin Muling fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's one thing for others not to know my secret, but as for you, senior sister, shouldn't you refrain from using it to test me?"
"I deliberately chose to leave the sect at this time. Could it be that it was really just for the selection of a Dao companion and nothing else to consider?"
"..."
The Ice Swallow Celestial Lord's smile faded slightly as she stared at him before asking softly, "Do you have a premonition?"
"Of course, I believe that with your cultivation, senior sister, you should also have a premonition."
Qin Muling said, "If I don't leave and hide outside for a while, it is highly likely that it will bring unforeseen calamities to the sect. This is not the outcome I want to see."
The Ice Swallow Celestial Lord's beautiful face changed slightly. "So... you really did come out of the Genesis Star Palace? And the master there is still alive? When the Sect Master mentioned this to me before, I had some doubts, but I never thought..."
"Silence!"
Qin Muling's face turned slightly cold as he reached out and grabbed her fair wrist. A profound and mysterious radiance enveloped the two of them, completely isolating them from the outside world.
In the vast and boundless depths of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, in an unimaginable and inexplicable space, wisps of chaotic ripples came out of nowhere and lightly swept across countless star clusters, Star Domains, and Immortal Realms. It spread throughout the vast void that spanned billions and trillions of miles.
With the Ice Swallow Celestial Lord's cultivation, it was not difficult for her to sense the movement of the chaotic ripples when they brushed against her radiant body. Although their power level was not high, even Qin Muling could easily deal with them. However, the underlying rules of the Great Dao contained within them made the Ice Swallow Celestial Lord deeply ponder and feel a sense of dread.
In the blink of an eye, the chaotic ripples probed back and forth thousands of times before silently dissipating into nothingness.
Qin Muling let out a sigh of relief and whispered, "You must never mention that word again. Although I am not entirely sure of the details, recently, more and more important figures in the Extreme Void Starry Sky have been discussing that place, which has caused it to start sensing. If it were to awaken prematurely because of this, it would not be good for the sect!"
"...Understood!"
The Ice Swallow Celestial Lord nodded solemnly.
