Chapter 563 Fengyi Dao Venerable: Junior Brother Must Be Exposed To Both Rain And Dew!
Chapter 563: Fengyi Dao Venerable: Junior Brother must benefit from all opportunities!
Dao Venerable from the Heavenly World had truly extraordinary methods. The previously indestructible Heavenly Dao Formation Array showed no abnormal reactions as the secret treasure silently infiltrated the depths of the Primeval Demon World.
After hundreds of breaths, the peculiar shuttle had traversed billions of trillions of miles through the vast and boundless azure sky, smoothly landing deep within the undulating mountain range, revealing its true form in a secluded valley where few people ventured.
Inside the shuttle, the obscure fluctuations of divine consciousness silently swept over the vast mountains, rivers, and earth in the surrounding area, confirming that they had not been noticed by the cultivators of this realm. Only then did the shuttle gradually return to its original size of over a hundred zhang.
The cabin door opened, and Shuoyun Dao Venerable was the first to step out, followed by Mingsong Dao Venerable, Qingyu Dao Venerable, Miao Yuan Dao Venerable, and other quasi-saints. In the end, apart from this group of Heavenly World envoys, there were also three thousand five hundred quasi-saints from the allied forces appearing around the shuttle, among which nearly eighty percent were women with dazzling beauty, graceful figures, and various charms.
Fengyi Dao Venerable raised her head and looked at the sky, sighing softly, "The atmosphere of the Primeval Demon Palace is becoming more and more incredible!"
At the end of the sky, rolling purple clouds extended for trillions of miles, misty and ethereal, with countless magnificent and colorful auspicious clouds enveloping all directions.
Above the purple clouds was an immense golden altar shadow, shining brightly and seemingly substantial, spanning billions of miles, exuding an ancient and majestic noble aura.
This was the manifestation of the overall luck anomaly in the Primeval Demon World. Compared to previous years, it had not only increased in size by more than thirty times, but also become more condensed. The Dao Rhyme aura emanating from the altar was even more intense and pure.
Next to the dark golden altar, there was also a huge Azure Lotus shadow. Amidst the mysterious and profound fragments of Dao Rhyme, not only did it make the altar shine even more brilliantly, but there were also some subtle and mysterious changes quietly brewing within.
"This is the current fortune of the Primeval Demon Palace..." Miao Yuan Dao Venerable's gaze was complicated. "If it weren't for obtaining the World Creating Azure Lotus, how could they have achieved such a prosperous and magnificent sect?"
The many quasi-saints remained silent. The Primeval Demon Palace had the advantage of being the first to enter, and they had truly gained numerous benefits. On the other hand, they had suffered heavy losses and paid a huge price without gaining anything. How unfair the Heavenly Dao was!
Fortunately, perhaps after today, everyone's situation might improve?
"...Fellow Daoist Mingsong, how should we proceed next?" Shuoyun Dao Venerable looked around and asked softly.
Mingsong Dao Venerable smiled and said, "If we can successfully bypass the Heavenly Dao's boundary formation and infiltrate here, then our plan is halfway successful. Next, we just need to track and find the location of the World Creating Azure Lotus, and then we can prepare to take action!"
"At that time, you will be responsible for blocking the power of the Primeval Demon Palace. It won't take too long, at most a hundred breaths, and we will be able to subdue the World Creating Azure Lotus and bring it back successfully."
The arrangement of the Heavenly World envoy is not wrong, but what will happen after they succeed is hard to say.
Shuoyun Dao Venerable's eyes deepened, "Fellow Daoist Mingsong, this time we have come personally to show our sincerity. I hope Fellow Daoist will not go back on your word. After the World Creating Azure Lotus is captured, please give us some time to comprehend a Yuanhui."
"Of course, we have all taken a formal alliance oath, there is no reason to break our promise."
Mingsong Dao Venerable quickly said. At this critical moment, it is natural to use kind words to appease these powerful beings who are about to die.
Qingyu Dao Venerable behind him glanced at him with a smile but did not speak.
Jiaye Buddha clasped his hands together, "Since that's the case, Fellow Daoist, please display your methods and lock onto the location of the World Creating Azure Lotus, alright?"
The World Creating Azure Lotus cannot be deduced or predicted. Trying recklessly will surely bring unimaginable backlash, which is already recognized common knowledge.
So the group of quasi-sages was a bit curious about what kind of method the envoy from the Heavenly World could have to avoid the risk of backlash and find the hiding place of the World Creating Azure Lotus.
Mingsong Dao Venerable took out a palm-sized, exquisitely beautiful purple-gold star disc, infused it with mana, and the surface of the disc quickly lit up.
After silently observing for a moment, he said with a solemn expression, "This item was taken from the Soul Formation Pool of the Heavenly World. It was where the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed was sealed and dormant. It has already been contaminated with its aura. Through mutual sensing, it is not difficult to confirm the location of the World Creating Azure Lotus."
"Alright, now that the position is roughly determined, let's go!"
So, more than 3,500 powerful beings re-entered the shuttle. As the cabin door closed, this secret treasure from the Heavenly World disappeared in a flash of light.
On the other side, Qin Muling was healing and recovering the high-level cultivators who were in a deep sleep in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm, with the Demon Lord Ziran and the women such as Su Mengqing guarding by her side.
As thousands of dazzling and magnificent columns of light, containing the majestic aura of Good Fortune, fell one after another, they enveloped the cultivators who were tightly closed-eyed on the jade beds, their vitality dimmed to the extreme. They repaired various hidden injuries and dangers in their spiritual and physical bodies at an incredible speed, allowing their nearly extinguished life flames to reignite with vitality.
In a short moment, these cultivators opened their eyes and slowly sat up from the jade beds. With their intelligence, they quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter, and they all got off the bed and came to pay their respects and express their gratitude to Qin Muling.
The elders waiting on the side immediately came over and led these recovered cultivators to the arranged Cave Mansion dojo to rest. After they adapted, they would be assigned their duties.
Until now, among the sleeping elders of the Primeval Demon Palace, all the powerful individuals above the Quasi-Saint Emperor level have already restored themselves to their peak state, except for those identified as secret spies.
Currently, most of the cultivators Qin Muling is treating are at the level of Great Principal Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal. Due to their large numbers and Qin Muling's need to attend to other matters, it cannot be resolved within a year or two.
However, even so, the lineup of high-level cultivators in the Primeval Demon Palace is expanding rapidly and has now firmly established itself as the top power in the chaotic void and the myriad worlds, becoming the true first ruling force.
Because those peak Golden Immortals and peak Taiyi Golden Immortals can also safely overcome their tribulations under Qin Muling's protection. Within the Primeval Demon Palace, there are quite a few high-level cultivators who are hesitant to transcend their tribulations due to lack of confidence, but now they are successfully passing through with the help of Qin Muling's luck.
"... Junior Brother, if we have another ten or eight years, should we be able to fully restore all these cultivators?"
Su Mengqing handed over a delicate white jade wine gourd, her sparkling eyes shining brightly as she asked with a smile.
Qin Muling took it, opened the stopper, and took a few sips of the spirit wine, saying, "It depends on the situation. If I can set aside other matters and focus solely on this, it should be possible, but that's obviously not very likely."
"Well, that's true."
Yingqing Demon Lord smiled and said, "Anyway, they have survived for so many years, waiting a few more years won't make much difference."
If cultivated step by step, with the terrifying heritage of the Primeval Demon Palace, it would take hundreds of thousands of years for a disciple who has just entered the Qi Refining Realm to successfully grow into a Golden Immortal, and the various resources consumed during this period are not a small amount.
According to the statistics of the major Transcendent Level forces, among every hundred thousand newly recruited outer disciples, only a few lucky ones can successfully grow into Golden Immortals. The probability of becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal or a Great Principal Golden Immortal is even lower.
The birth of every high-level cultivator is not easy, so the high-level members of the Primeval Demon Palace still hope that Qin Muling can do his best to heal and restore these severely injured high-level cultivators, as the cost of doing so is better than starting from scratch.
Qin Muling was about to continue working when his handsome eyebrows twitched, and he whispered, "They... have arrived!"
Zai Demon Lord's expression changed abruptly, and immediately dozens of stunning beauties surrounded Qin Muling. They were ancient powerhouses who had once held the power of the quasi-saint.
Then, dozens of seemingly invisible golden light screens appeared and disappeared in the surrounding area. In the nearby dimensional space, more Demon World powerhouses were already poised, setting up a trap and waiting for the strong enemy to arrive.
In Qin Muling's perception, fate was like a vast and endless river, and a terrifying shadow that was difficult to imagine was rapidly approaching him from the depths of the river.
In just a moment, the small and peculiar shuttle passed through billions of miles of mountains and rivers, leaving behind countless different-shaped continents, vast oceans, and numerous rivers, and approached the main entrance of the Primeval Demon Palace.
The alert level here is obviously much higher. In addition to layers of formations and restrictions, groups of high-level cultivators can be seen patrolling the area, and countless powerful divine senses sweep through the surrounding millions of miles.
Of course, with the extraordinary power of the strange shuttle, it is easy to bypass these methods. Before long, in the perception of Dao Venerable Mingsong, the area where the World Creating Azure Lotus is located is within reach.
"... The World Creating Azure Lotus should be in that Grotto-Heaven secret realm. We can take action now!"
Inside the shuttle, Dao Venerable Mingsong said softly.
Dao Venerable Qingyu said, "There are quite a few guards there. Fellow Daoists Shuoyun, you need to hold them back, even at all costs!"
"No problem, we'll take care of it!"
Dao Venerable Shuoyun nodded. After the shuttle landed in stealth mode, he led many quasi-saints out of the cabin and silently surrounded the nearby Grotto-Heaven secret realm.
In the Grotto-Heaven secret realm, Qin Muling turned his head at this moment, about to say something to Su Mengqing next to him. However, at this moment, the space within tens of thousands of miles suddenly changed. It twisted and compressed like tangled threads, then crazily stretched, entangled, and cut into thousands of layers of spatial barriers, separating Qin Muling and many powerful female cultivators.
An indescribable terrifying power descended from all directions, different time and space dimensions, past, present, and future, firmly locking onto Qin Muling's soul and physical body.
"... World Creating Azure Lotus, I finally found you!"
A mysterious and unpredictable laughter echoed in the unknown and mysterious space-time. The pressure on Qin Muling suddenly increased. Even with his current formidable cultivation, he felt the long-lost pressure.
A pale and unremarkable bone spike, several feet long, quietly appeared from the depths of the void, piercing directly towards Qin Muling's heart at an almost infinite speed.
In the depths of the boundless void, an indescribably magnificent and elusive majestic gate slowly opened. Dozens of terrifying wills cast their gaze towards the chaotic void, towards Qin Muling.
The legendary gate of the Heavenly World finally appeared at this moment!
In that instant, not to mention time and space, even all the great Dao laws were completely frozen and suppressed to the extreme by an unknown power.
The surrounding Free Demon Lord, Bright Moon Demon Lord, Su Mengqing, and other female disciples futilely tried to lend a hand but found that they couldn't break through the inexplicable suppression. Even the reactions of several Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures became sluggish.
In the critical moment, the pale bone spike had already pierced into Qin Muling's body and soul. The terrifying evil power capable of destroying heaven and earth and erasing the great Dao laws erupted, devouring his vitality source like a Transcendent Level black hole, madly and uncontrollably.
A huge Azure Lotus phantom emerged, causing the women under the gaze of the Moon Demon Lord to be horrified. A touch of desolate gray appeared on the surface of a certain Azure Lotus leaf, and quickly spread, spreading to the entire range of Azure Lotus leaves in the blink of an eye, and then spreading to the second Azure Lotus leaf.
Wherever the gray domain passed, the originally bright and radiant Azure Lotus leaves, filled with the majestic vitality of Good Fortune, quickly dimmed.
"This thing... won't completely kill it, will it?" The noble and charming woman beside Ming Song Dao Venerable said with concern.
"No, as long as we erase the spiritual wisdom of the World Creating Azure Lotus, after returning to its original form, its true body should not be greatly affected," Ming Song Dao Venerable said, watching as the thirty-six Azure Lotus leaves dimmed one after another, causing Qin Muling's vitality to rapidly decline to the lowest point.
"Alright, it's now..." The Heavenly World envoy couldn't wait any longer, and said eagerly. His body was shining with golden light, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards Qin Muling's location, with the spatial barriers along the way disappearing on their own.
It's no wonder he was so impatient. Everyone around him had different thoughts and were all coveting the World Creating Azure Lotus. Moreover, those lower-level Great World beings outside posed a great threat. If they didn't quickly snatch the World Creating Azure Lotus, who knows what unexpected events would occur next?
However, at this moment, in the portal of the supreme Heavenly World, hundreds of golden lights suddenly appeared and shot towards the location of the World Creating Azure Lotus at an unimaginable speed.
"..." Ming Song Dao Venerable's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that at this time, there would actually be people from the Heavenly World coming down to fight for the fruits of victory.
But at this moment, he had already rushed to Qin Muling's side, whose vitality was withering and aura was declining, and reached out to grab him.
In just a fraction of a breath, Ming Song Dao Venerable regretted his recklessness.
There was nothing left in place. Where was the figure of the World Creating Azure Lotus?
Before Ming Song Dao Venerable could react, the Hongmeng Blood Purgatory Halberd suddenly appeared without warning. The destructive thunder light on the halberd blade flickered and fiercely pierced into his abdomen.
"You... how is this possible?" Ming Song Dao Venerable stared at the purple-clothed youth in front of him in disbelief. The other party was full of divine aura and had a slightly smiling expression, showing no signs of injury.
Could it be that after the World Creating Azure Lotus transformed into a human, it had already grown to such a profound and unfathomable realm? Even the treasures personally refined by the Holy Venerable were useless against it?
"You should go on your way. Dead people don't need to know too much," Qin Muling smiled faintly. "Moreover, not only us, it seems that even the fellow disciples around you don't want you to continue living!"
Before Ming Song Dao Venerable could respond, he felt a piercing pain in his back, and a pitch-black dagger tip appeared in his chest. Golden blood gushed out.
That was one of Qingyu Dao Venerable's famous treasures.
Immediately after, dozens of different treasures fell one after another, without any order, causing Ming Song Dao Venerable to be unable to resist and be completely wiped out, not even leaving a trace of his soul!
But it wasn't over yet. With the reappearance of the Azure Lotus phantom domain, the twisted and compressed spatial structure quickly restored, and even the imprisoned and suppressed laws of the Great Dao returned to their normal state.
In an instant, the Moon Demon Lord, Su Mengqing, and the others, who were anxiously watching, rushed towards Qin Muling like a tide, surrounding him in the center.
"Young Junior Brother, are you alright?" The trembling voice of the Moon Demon Lord carried obvious fear. If Qin Muling had really been taken away by the Heavenly World envoy earlier, the consequences would have been catastrophic, comparable to the destruction of the heavens and the opening of the Hongmeng.
"I'm slightly injured, but it's not a big hindrance," Qin Muling waved his hand, indicating that they should deal with the powerful enemy first.
At this time, the hundreds of powerful experts who descended from the Heavenly World portal had already rushed forward. They were obviously not the same group as the previous thirty-plus people.
"...Fellow Daoists, we must join forces with the Primeval Demon Palace Fellow Daoists and kill them all, leaving none alive!" Outside, the voice of Fengyi Dao Venerable sounded faintly, receiving unanimous responses from many quasi-saints.
At this moment, many powerful beings from the Original Demon World also appeared one after another, and thousands of Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures fell like rain, submerging the figures of those Heavenly World experts.
The space within billions of miles was once again sealed off, and intense heat dominated everything. No matter how powerful those Heavenly World experts were, they were only crushed under the absolute numerical advantage.
When the scene calmed down, all the powerful beings from Heavenly World had been completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind, including the messengers who had arrived earlier.
In such a large-scale melee, there was no hope for anyone to hold back.
In the depths of the dark void, from the majestic Heavenly World portal, there faintly came a series of angry and majestic roars, but no new powerful beings descended.
After waiting for a moment, the Heavenly World portal slowly closed in the bright light and disappeared completely.
"...That was really close just now!"
The Moonlight Demon Lord breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Miao Yuan Dao Venerable, Phoenix Yi Dao Venerable, and the other quasi-saints.
"Forget about the past grievances, I have to thank you all for this!"
Qin Muling said calmly.
If it weren't for Miao Yuan Dao Venerable and the others giving advance notice, it's possible that this group of Heavenly World messengers would have unintentionally caused him a great loss.
Miao Yuan Dao Venerable smiled, "Since you're willing to accept this favor, why not... let us all benefit from it?"
Qin Muling: "..."
The Moonlight Demon Lord sighed with some weariness. He knew these guys had ulterior motives. They were taking advantage of the current opportunity to bring up old matters again, really...
Jiaye Buddha Lord clasped his hands together and said gently, "Fellow Daoists of the Primeval Demon Palace, although we have joined forces to defeat Heavenly World's plot this time, they will never give up their ambition for the World Creating Azure Lotus."
"I believe that before long, Heavenly World will once again descend with more powerful forces at any cost. It won't be so easy for you to overcome them with your own strength, right?"
The expressions of the Moonlight Demon Lord and the goddesses became serious as they pondered in silence.
This statement indeed made sense. With the temperament of those Heavenly World big shots, how could they willingly admit defeat? It's possible that even those high-ranking figures will personally descend next time.
If it's for the sake of ensuring Qin Muling's safety, it seems reluctantly acceptable?
Jiaye Buddha Lord smiled, "The World Creating Azure Lotus seems to be seriously injured. If we are willing to join forces and provide all the resources available to help it recover as soon as possible, it should be able to recover quickly, right?"
The Moonlight Demon Lord furrowed his brows when he heard this and glanced at Qin Muling, tilting his head slightly, "Little junior brother, is your injury serious?"
"It's hard to say, it might be a bit troublesome."
Qin Muling hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
The mysterious bone spurs from earlier were clearly from a powerful figure in Heavenly World. They could suppress most of Qin Muling's divine abilities, and although he managed to avoid most of the damage by reversing time, it still inflicted heavy damage on his soul and body.
This is also the World Creating Azure Lotus. If it were any other quasi-saint, even if they had a hundred or eighty lives, they would have died.
Hua Yang Dao Venerable spoke, "Moonlight Fellow Daoist, if we want to avoid the disastrous result of the World Creating Azure Lotus being taken away, we must let it recover as soon as possible and achieve sainthood as soon as possible. This is no longer just a matter for the Primeval Demon World, but requires the cooperation of all the heavens and worlds! What do you think?"
Leaving the World Creating Azure Lotus in the chaotic void is a result that all the Transcendent Level forces' high-level figures will not oppose. If it is really captured by the powerful figures from Heavenly World, it means that all hope is lost.
Moreover, with the arrogant and ruthless demeanor of Heavenly World, once they succeed, they might even go on a killing spree and destroy all these Earth Level Great Worlds, completely cutting off their heritage.
...
The Moonlight Demon Lord silently weighed his options and exchanged glances with the high-level figures of the Primeval Demon Palace, saying, "In that case, let's discuss it in the meeting hall!"
At this point, it is no longer realistic to monopolize the World Creating Azure Lotus as before.
"The Buddha is compassionate, Fellow Daoist is indeed a reasonable person."
Jiaye Buddha Lord nodded in satisfaction and, together with the quasi-saints present, followed her to the sect's meeting hall.
Qin Muling, as the person involved, naturally had to attend. His position was beside the Moonlight Demon Lord, facing the quasi-saints from a distance.
"Fellow Daoists, the threat from Heavenly World is indeed not to be underestimated, so... what are your plans?"
The Moonlight Demon Lord asked.
