Chapter 522 Meng Ziqing: They Will Get What They Want!
Chapter 522 Meng Ziqing: They Will Get What They Want!
With the crazy plundering and looting of various powerful forces, the current situation of Kong Qing Great World is deteriorating day by day.
The once eleven powerful forces have been destroyed by the relentless attacks of foreign enemies, leaving only the last three forces struggling to hold on to their remaining territory.
Apart from their core strongholds that have not been breached, every corner of the Great World has been repeatedly ravaged by these foreign forces, and all valuable resources have been plundered and looted.
Now, some insane forces are organizing manpower and vigorously attacking the many dangerous restrictions deep within the earth's layers, intending to target the last world origin of this Great World.
Although progress is currently limited, it is only a matter of time before they succeed completely.
At that time, Kong Qing Great World, drained of its world origin, will inevitably collapse and become a relic in the chaotic void, with nothing valuable left.
This is the all-out war between different Great Worlds, which is cruel to the extreme but is constantly unfolding. Once the war begins, it will result in the suffering of billions of lives, either destroying the opponent or being destroyed by the opponent.
As for those Great Worlds that have not experienced war, it is simply because they are far enough apart from each other and have sufficient strength to prevent their covert enemies from taking advantage.
If weaker Great Worlds want to avoid invasion by foreign enemies, they can only quickly find a powerful backer to rely on to ensure their own safety, provided that the other party is willing to accept them.
After receiving the resources and healing over 30 million severely injured female cultivators brought by Meng Xuehuan, Qin Muling finally agreed to accompany her on a journey to Dragon Spring Great World.
In the floating land of the void, thousands of Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats rose into the air one after another.
Each Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat has a hull that is over a thousand zhang long, shining with radiance. The light curtain formed by layers of protective formations and restrictions is hundreds of zhang thick, capable of withstanding the erosion and impact of chaotic void storms for a long time.
"... The material of these Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats looks quite good. Are they all made from various rare divine materials from the chaotic void?"
"That's right. It is the result of the hard accumulation of many generations of our family. This fleet of ships, which has now grown in size, is essential for the deep space trade with other Great Worlds."
"In that case, I have quite a few idle rare divine materials here. I should be able to refine and create a batch of excellent fleet of ships!"
"Well, if Junior Brother is interested, Senior Sister will gather all the master craftsmen of the family and assist you with all our might..."
On the spacious foredeck of the flagship, a feast had already been set up. Various delicacies were continuously brought in by the elegantly dressed maidservants. Qin Muling sat at the main seat, enjoying the food.
The three beautiful and slender sisters, Meng Xuehuan, Meng Xuan, and Yu Xiyuan, were serving wine and food on the side, their laughter and conversation attentive and meticulous.
Not far away, a group of beautiful musicians were performing. The melodious music echoed, and a large group of gorgeously dressed women danced, their figures alluring and captivating, their snow-white skin dazzling, making it hard to look away.
Qin Muling leaned back on the large and luxurious throne, holding a jade wine bottle in his hand, enjoying himself while whispering with the Meng Xuehuan and her daughter. Meanwhile, Meng Xuan and Yu Xiyuan were carefully massaging his legs under the table.
Shui Yue Buddha, Emperor Qiu Wu, blushed and sat beside Qin Muling, also accompanying him with wine. Her eyes towards Qin Muling were filled with shimmering waves, a mix of shyness and joy.
Through the protective light curtain in the sky, one could clearly see the extremely violent void storms colliding with the light curtain, erupting with dazzling and blinding light, and causing earth-shattering explosions one after another, making ripples appear on the surface of the light curtain.
Only a defense equivalent to the level of an Innate Spiritual Treasure could ensure the safe navigation of the Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat in the depths of the chaotic void for a long time.
The chaotic divine materials used to refine and create this level of Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat were extremely rare strategic resources strictly controlled by various Great Worlds. They were also an important indicator of the depth of a major power's background.
Long-term large-scale deep space trade brought astonishing returns. As long as a major power had a fleet of such Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats, they could carry massive resources and a large number of cultivators with relatively weaker cultivation levels to travel between different Great Worlds, earning substantial profits and enough resources to promote their own rapid development and growth.
Extreme Void Starry Sky currently did not have a fleet of this caliber of Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats. It involved a large number of rare materials, a sufficient number of master craftsmen, and the design blueprints for the ship and protective formations. The production cost was also extremely high.
Of course, as long as Qin Muling had the full support of the Meng Clan, this problem would be easily solved.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Muling pondered and said, "How many chips do those four powers have left? If most of those Apex Level experts have already died, can you directly go to war and take over their foundations?"
Meng Xuehuan cautiously replied, "Not yet. We have to wait until their families can no longer produce an expert who has severed their Three Corpses Incarnation. Only then can we make a decisive move, which will minimize the losses of the Meng Clan."
"Also, that's the way it is, so let's take it slow."
Qin Muling nodded. So far, the four Transcendent Level forces had accumulated the deaths of many important figures, with each family having already exceeded a thousand people. And there were still many names on the death list that hadn't been crossed out yet, so it was only a matter of time before it was their turn.
Qin Muling and the high-level members of the Meng Clan had enough patience. Wars between Great Worlds often took tens of thousands or even millions of years to determine the final outcome, so there was no need to rush.
Meng Xuehuan thought for a moment and whispered to Qin Muling with a smile, "After this is over, Junior Brother, do you want to play the role of a thief and take away all the elders' family members who have committed crimes? There are many people with good cultivation among them, and they would make excellent slaves!"
Meng Ziqing chuckled and said, "Some of the female cultivators who are slaves have good looks. It wouldn't be bad for Junior Brother to take one as a maid to make beds, fold quilts, and serve tea and water."
Since Qin Muling's acquaintance with them, Meng Xuehuan, as the head of the Meng Clan, had carried out several purges within the clan. Countless high-level figures, as well as their family members and disciples, who had been killed or deposed by her, were now imprisoned in some dark and desolate dungeons and mines.
Now that Qin Muling had arrived, Meng Xuehuan had no intention of continuing to keep them. It would be better to give them all as gifts to Junior Brother, which would also win his favor.
"Alright, let's do it this way!"
Qin Muling did not refuse. The demand for cultivator slaves in the Extreme Void Starry Sky was almost endless, whether it was in the billions or trillions, he would accept them all.
The Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat team traveled through the chaotic void for more than twenty days, during which they encountered dangers such as wandering Chaotic Ferocious Beasts, chaotic storm tides, and unexpected encounters with other Great World hunting teams. However, they were all easily killed by the greatly enhanced strength of the Meng Clan.
The high-level female cultivators, who had recovered to their peak state, could unleash formidable combat power. Some of the female cultivators who had been dormant for too long were eager for a chance to practice, so they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
After more than twenty days, Dragon Spring Great World was finally in sight. It looked like a danqing-colored sun hanging in the chaotic void, and there were also numerous floating continents in the edge regions of the world. The Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat teams of various forms took off and landed in an orderly manner, and countless cultivators were coming and going in a constant stream.
"Hmm? It seems that there are many malicious forces lurking in the surrounding void? There are quite a few powerful guys among them!"
Qin Muling looked around and came to a conclusion.
"That's right, they have all received the news and think that Dragon Spring Great World, like Kong Qing Great World, won't last long. That's why they are waiting here in advance!"
Meng Xuehuan said coldly, a frosty color covering her flawless and beautiful face. Obviously, she didn't have a good impression of these guys who were like wild dogs.
Qin Muling chuckled, "It's okay, I'll give them a taste of my power when I leave, and I guarantee they won't dare to come and cause trouble again."
Meng Ziqing said softly, "There's no need for Junior Brother to personally take action. The Meng Clan's strength is already strong enough now, and we can handle it ourselves when needed."
For them, Junior Brother's presence was the greatest support, and as for these fights and killings, they could handle them with their own strength now.
...
Yao Guang Great World.
The three Transcendent Level forces that dominated this Great World were Mituo Sect, Galan Temple, and Shangzhen Sect.
Mituo Sect and Galan Temple were both Buddhist forces, while Shangzhen Sect, although officially belonging to the Daoist faction, was also close to the Buddhist lineage.
In the center of the Great World, in a serene and elegant Zen temple, the representatives of the three major forces were sitting together, discussing certain important events that had occurred recently within and outside the world.
There was a short and chubby bald monk in a red robe, a stunning woman in a snow-white cassock, and a middle-aged Daoist with a high crown and a dignified appearance.
They were respectively the abbot of Mituo Sect, Master Kong Kong; the master of Galan Temple, Master Luli; and the head of Shangzhen Sect, Daoist Supreme Haiqing.
Due to the will of the main force, the Thunder Sound Great World, the future Yao Guang Great World was supposed to be unified, with the three Transcendent Level forces merging into one.
Therefore, the high-level members of these three forces had already realized this and, since they couldn't oppose it, they were preparing in advance to fight for more benefits for their own factions before the formal merger arrived.
"... Fellow Daoist Haiqing, it seems that your disciples haven't been very effective in dealing with the matter in Dragon Spring Great World. Why hasn't it been resolved yet?"
The Buddha of Emptiness asked lightly, with a hint of imperceptible dissatisfaction in his tone.
The Glass Buddha sitting on the side remained silent, slightly turning his indifferent gaze towards Haiqing Daoren.
Haiqing Daoren looked apologetic and said in a low voice, "They were also affected by that mysterious curse, their luck and Dao Foundation depleted, leading to their demise. Recently, there have been quite a few powerful beings who perished in Dragon Spring Great World because of it."
"So, if I'm not mistaken," he continued, "it should be the work of the hidden forces coveting Dragon Spring Great World. They are unwilling to see Dragon Spring Great World become a subordinate force of our Yao Guang Great World, which is why they targeted Long Song and the others."
"I see," the Buddha of Emptiness frowned slightly and pondered, "So now, how should we respond to this situation?"
The Glass Buddha calmly said, "If it is indeed the work of those hidden forces, it may not be wise for us to take any immediate action."
In other words, even if they were to send a more powerful force to Dragon Spring Great World, they would still be targeted by that mysterious curse. In the end, those people wouldn't even know what their enemies looked like and would meet a tragic end.
Hearing this, the Buddha of Emptiness and Haiqing Daoren fell into silence, not speaking for a long time.
The merger of the three forces was not far away. If they suffered too much loss at this critical moment, they would likely suffer a significant disadvantage in the future.
For these big shots, power was the fundamental bargaining chip for their survival. It was not a wise deal to risk their most important capital for a subordinate force that had not yet been subdued.
"In Fellow Daoist's opinion, how should we handle this matter?" the Buddha of Emptiness asked after a moment of silence.
The Glass Buddha said, "It's simple, wait and see, and temporarily ignore the affairs of Dragon Spring Great World."
"Those five forces are still losing people endlessly, we can just watch from the sidelines. The hidden forces will eventually come out into the open, perhaps after the high-level figures of those five forces have perished."
No matter which powerful being it was, when that time came, they would definitely come out to seize the fruits of victory. Yao Guang Great World could use this opportunity to find out the identity and origin of the other party. The following matters would naturally be much easier to handle.
Haiqing Daoren exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist's insight is remarkable! We can expose the hidden hostile forces without unnecessary losses."
The Buddha of Emptiness also agreed, "This plan is excellent, let's settle it this way! We should focus on our own affairs first."
The Glass Buddha nodded lightly, and a consensus was reached.
After all, they had the powerful support of Thunder Sound Great World behind them, so they didn't have to worry too much. Even if Dragon Spring Great World was eventually taken by the other party, they would still have to obediently spit out this world in the face of the immense pressure from Thunder Sound Great World.
Unless... the other party was also an Earth Level Great World, only then would they have the qualifications to negotiate with Thunder Sound Great World.
...
In Dragon Spring Great World, the headquarters of the Meng Clan.
In the heavily guarded Grotto-Heaven secret realm, spiritual energy filled the air, and colorful lights shimmered.
In this small world spanning tens of thousands of miles, rows of jade cloud beds were neatly arranged, numbering in the millions. Each bed had a high-level female cultivator lying on it, with closed eyes, in a deep sleep state.
The large healing formation on the ground silently operated, continuously supplying life-force-rich spiritual energy to maintain their basic vitality.
However, now more than 95% of these cloud beds were empty, and the female cultivators lying on them had already recovered and left long ago.
The remaining female cultivators were too severely injured, and they could perish at any moment. Therefore, Meng Xuehuan dared not wake them up rashly, for fear of causing more harm than good.
Qin Muling entered with the accompaniment of the three women from the Mengxue family. With a slight sensing of his divine consciousness, he understood everything in his heart.
"Alright, I'll take care of it. Do you want me to save them all?" Qin Muling asked, knowing that certain elders who were not aligned with the family's interests would definitely be ignored.
Meng Ziqing smiled and said, "Junior Brother, don't worry. Those who don't listen have already been relocated elsewhere. Everyone here is on our side!"
"That's good then!" Qin Muling nodded. With a wave of his hand, thousands of magnificent purple light pillars descended from the sky, enveloping a group of high-level female cultivators who were in the most critical condition.
The immense and unimaginable Good Fortune vitality permeated the air, rapidly repairing their physical and spiritual injuries, restoring and strengthening their life flames, and bringing their dwindling lifespans back to their peak state.
With Qin Muling's current status, it only took a moment for these thousands of high-level female cultivators to open their eyes, incredulously sensing the incredible changes inside and outside their bodies.
Meng Xuehuan briefly explained the situation to them. After all, they were cultivators with profound cultivation and strong mental fortitude, far superior to ordinary people. Therefore, these female cultivators did not hesitate and got up one after another to pay their respects to Qin Muling.
Qin Muling comforted them with gentle words and continued to treat the remaining female cultivators. After everyone had recovered, he, along with the three women from the Mengxue family, proceeded to the next Grotto-Heaven secret realm.
The Meng family had a large number of Grotto-Heaven secret realms, numbering in the hundreds. As for the female cultivators who had already recovered, the family elders would naturally come to arrange their positions.
Meng Ziqing looked at Qin Muling's expression and smiled as she whispered, "Junior Brother, there are also many outstanding beauties among them. Do you want to select another group to serve you? Don't worry, they will definitely be eager for it!"
"..." Qin Muling couldn't help but be speechless. Could it really be arranged like this? It seemed that the three women from the Mengxue family had really gone to great lengths to capture his heart.
"Sister, you handle it." Qin Muling finally said. After all, it was difficult to refuse such a generous offer.
"By the way, I brought a batch of Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine resources this time. After you take them, you can save many more people. At least you can extend their lives for a few more years," Qin Muling said. He was pressed for time this time, and even if he didn't do anything else and only helped the Meng family save people, he wouldn't have enough time.
So Qin Muling could only choose the group of elders with the most severe conditions that he had to personally treat, and let the others wait a little longer.
"Okay, everything is up to Junior Brother's arrangements!" Meng Xuehuan said with a gentle expression. As long as the problem could be solved, the means didn't matter.
However, when they saw the batch of Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine resources that Qin Muling took out, even the Mengxue family's three women, who had seen big scenes before, were greatly shocked.
It wasn't just a small amount of resources, but over two million Supreme-level Heavenly Medicine plants, each with a growth period of no less than a thousand years, and all of them were extremely rare and precious varieties!
For example, the Thousand Machine Snow Sunflower, the Yin Yang Reincarnation Lotus, the Other Shore Resurrection Grass, and the Heavenly Heart Enlightenment Tree... all of them were supreme treasures for healing and extending life. Even the Great Worlds at the Profound Level High Grade considered them as treasures and strictly controlled their circulation.
"Junior Brother, you..." Meng Ziqing blushed, her soft voice trembling slightly. Such a large amount of strategic resources couldn't be produced by the Meng family, even if they emptied the entire Dragon Spring Great World, they would still be lacking.
If this were in the outside world, it would be enough to trigger a war between two Profound Level Great Worlds just to fight for these strategic resources.
However, considering Qin Muling's background and origins, it was expected that he could easily produce such a large amount of resources.
"Junior Brother, you're really amazing!" Meng Xuehuan couldn't help but embrace Qin Muling, kissing him passionately, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.
