Chapter 491 Lord Miao Xin: I Have Nothing To Say About My Junior Brother’S Luck!
Chapter 491: Miao Xin Buddha Lord: Junior Brother's luck is undeniable!
As time passed, the changes in Kong Qing Great World began to be known to more and more orthodox forces. Consequently, many previously secretive conspiracies and schemes gradually came to light. After all, Kong Qing Great World's reputation was not good in the past, and they had countless enemies, many of whom were cultivators who survived in the worlds destroyed by them. Now that they finally had the opportunity, they naturally sought revenge and settled old scores.
For a while, a massive number of powerful cultivators gathered together and rushed to the outskirts of Kong Qing Great World from the depths of the chaotic void, setting up camps on numerous floating landmasses. They roamed around like scavenging vultures, searching for suitable opportunities to cause trouble.
The eleven Transcendent Level forces within Kong Qing Great World sensed that something was amiss and immediately declared a state of emergency. After a few days, they realized that the effect was not significant, so they simply closed all the floating landmasses and expelled all foreign cultivators.
However, this move had little effect. The various orthodox forces, independent cultivators, and others settled in the nearby chaotic void, eagerly and ferociously eyeing the tumultuous Kong Qing Great World. In the eyes of the outside world, the complete decline of this Great World was only a matter of time and did not require much waiting.
When those eleven Transcendent Level forces were further weakened, their high-end strategic forces were almost completely lost, and they completely lost control of the situation, the other forces could rush in and freely share the abundant heritage of this Great World.
The higher-ups of Kong Qing Great World were well aware of this and naturally felt resentful about being treated as prey. They immediately dispatched powerful forces to sweep the surrounding void, killing all cultivators regardless of their origin or reasons.
Now they were already acting recklessly, so they didn't care about the risks of having too many enemies. Since I'm already done for, it wouldn't hurt to bring along some cannon fodder before I leave!
In order to avoid harming innocent people, Yu Xi Yuan and her allies had long since withdrawn from Kong Qing Great World and temporarily settled in the nearby chaotic void, taking refuge in the Grotto-Heaven Spiritual Treasure realm.
Of course, they wanted to see what Kong Qing Great World would become in the future, but the main reason was to wait for Qin Muling to come back for another round of looting and see if they could continue to improve their relationship.
Being able to push a powerful Great World like Kong Qing Great World into such a desperate situation without making a sound, Yu Xi Yuan and the others still held a considerable amount of awe for Qin Muling.
The counterattack from the higher-ups of Kong Qing Great World had some effect. After several large-scale bloody conflicts, the foreign forces were temporarily forced back into the chaotic void far away from the Great World.
Hmm, it was only temporary...
The higher-ups of those foreign forces had realized that they couldn't push Kong Qing Great World too hard, which was why they reacted this way and chose not to invest more power to fight them to the death.
As time passed, approximately every half a year, a group of important figures in Kong Qing Great World would perish. Moreover, all the symptoms indicated that they died from a mysterious and unpredictable curse.
For this reason, many long-established Transcendent Level forces in the depths of the chaotic void sent more than one wave of people to Kong Qing Great World to investigate the truth, ostensibly to help them.
In reality, they also wanted to see how terrifying and horrifying this curse was, and whether it could be used for their own benefit. If the powerful beings in their own world were to encounter such an attack in the future, they wanted to know if it could be effectively avoided or restrained.
...
In the depths of the chaotic void, thunder and fire raged incessantly, and endless spatial turbulence storms. The faint shadow of a dark golden giant cauldron appeared and disappeared.
The roars of countless chaotic beasts converged into a rolling sound wave, like a raging tide, shaking the structure of the void slightly. A huge Azure Lotus shadow quietly emerged, enveloping billions of miles of space with its gentle radiance, instantly calming the violent spatial turbulence, and silencing the continuous explosions.
Under the suppression of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus' domain, the boundless group of Chaotic Ferocious Beasts instantly became like a school of fish leaving the water's surface, greatly reducing their ferocity. Even the ferocious beast kings hiding in the depths of the void and the most terrifying Innate Chaotic Divine Demon were unable to escape, and their strength directly dropped by two or three major realms.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boundless Chaotic Sword Qi crisscrossed and slaughtered the Chaotic Ferocious Beasts in the black cloud-like group, while being assisted by various heavy weapons such as the Dark Silver Bell, Purple Gold Gourd, Nine Melody Divine Phoenix Bell, and Primordial Blood Purgatory Halberd. They mercilessly harvested the lives of many chaotic creatures.
However, in just a short moment, the chaotic creatures in this airspace were completely slaughtered, turning into a large number of life essence crystals, which were collected by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and handed over to Qin Muling. They were then thrown into the depths of the Azure Lotus illusion for refinement.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Xue Bingxuan, Luo Wanqing, Luo Huan, and other senior sisters of Qin Muling's Three Corpses Incarnation entered the lairs of the beast kings and began to plunder the spoils to their heart's content. After a short while, they returned with a full load.
Not to mention the mountains of rare chaotic divine materials, the various Innate spiritual objects and different grades of Innate Spiritual Treasures alone dazzled the eyes of the women.
Among them, the most precious harvest was a white jade pagoda with a round top and divided into twenty-four layers. Its crystal-clear colored light illuminated billions of miles. It was a treasure with thirty-nine layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions.
"Sure enough, it's another Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure! Junior Brother's luck is truly extraordinary!" exclaimed Miao Xin, the Buddha Lord, with joy, and the surrounding senior sisters agreed.
This was the first time they had followed Qin Muling deep into the chaotic void to search for opportunities, so the impact and shock they received were particularly strong.
The Chaotic Ferocious Beasts, which would make a Quasi-Saint Emperor pale in fear, were like lambs to the slaughter in front of Qin Muling. Even the legendary Innate Chaotic Divine Demon, which was rarely seen, was suppressed by his unique Good Fortune Azure Lotus domain.
Others risked their lives and struggled to obtain an Innate spiritual object of medium grade or an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Even if they returned empty-handed, just being able to survive was considered lucky.
However, in front of Qin Muling, all the common knowledge known to those people in the past had been completely overturned. Piles of Innate spiritual objects and Innate Spiritual Treasures were ordinary gains for him. Even the Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, which a normal Quasi-Saint Emperor would rarely see in their lifetime, was not considered too rare by him.
"This is the abundant harvest brought by supreme luck and fortune. It's too heaven-defying, and others simply can't envy it!" sighed Emperor Lan Hua, who was youthful and beautiful. Qin Muling's existence was unprecedented, and it was estimated that there would never be another like him in the future.
"Alright, let's go to the gathering place of the next group of Chaotic Ferocious Beasts," Qin Muling said with a smile, collecting all the spoils in his internal space and then activating the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
According to the agreement reached by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun, Qin Muling could keep half of all the gains in the chaotic void, and the remaining half would be evenly distributed among the accompanying senior sisters. As for the most precious Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, it would be decided by drawing lots.
This time, there were slightly more senior sisters who came with Qin Muling, but the distribution rules remained the same. It was estimated that by the time they returned, each of them would be able to obtain an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, and there would be even more Peerless Grade High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Given time, as long as Qin Muling was willing, it wouldn't be impossible for each of his Dao companions to have an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure. Of course, this goal was too far away.
"...Junior Brother, do we still go to Kong Qing Great World to take a look?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, who was massaging his legs, asked during the journey.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "The situation there is quite chaotic now. Let's not pay attention to it for the time being. Besides... with those external forces from the Great Worlds eyeing it, they have been running around tirelessly. It's only a matter of time before they face defeat and destruction."
Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden said softly, "But in that case, the luck origin of Kong Qing Great World will have nothing to do with our Extreme Void Starry Sky. It is very likely to be divided and plundered by them. This is the most precious wealth in a Great World!"
When the local forces of Kong Qing Great World decline to a certain extent, those outsiders will inevitably join forces to prioritize the plundering of the world's luck origin, followed by reducing billions of cultivators to slaves and plundering various resources. Perhaps in the end, the Extreme Void Starry Sky will not gain much benefit.
Qin Muling didn't mind and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a relatively ordinary world. There are countless Great Worlds in the depths of the chaotic void. When our Extreme Void Starry Sky becomes strong enough, we will definitely conquer thousands of Great Worlds."
With his current perspective, losing the spoils of a certain Great World was actually acceptable as long as it maximized the safety of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Other issues were relatively less important.
"Well, Junior Brother is right. The most important thing for us in the Extreme Void Starry Sky now is to improve our strength. Other issues are relatively less important."
Ten-tailed Celestial Fox Linghu Xuelan agreed, with Qin Muling present, the growth rate of the Extreme Void Starry Sky far surpasses other Great Worlds, and there is no need to wait too long.
The Grand Palace Master Zi Shiyun pondered, "But according to the current trend, the decline of the Kong Qing Great World should be a relatively long process. Perhaps, after several decades, they will also become aware of the existence of the Extreme Void Starry Sky?"
The trajectory of the Kong Qing Great World has been approaching the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and in a few decades at most, they will be close enough to discover each other. At that time, even the most sophisticated divination techniques will not be able to conceal it.
This is not good news for the Extreme Void Starry Sky. To put it bluntly, the Extreme Void Starry Sky is not as powerful as the Kong Qing Great World in many aspects. If those foreign Great Worlds find out, it is easy to imagine what will happen next.
"Junior Martial Brother, can't we make a slight adjustment to the trajectory of our Extreme Void Starry Sky and completely avoid them?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao frowned and asked. The reason why it is called a slight adjustment is that, given the size of a Great World, even if all the senior sisters join forces, they cannot completely control its trajectory. They can only make some minor adjustments.
Qin Muling nodded, "Of course we can. After all, the distance between the two Great Worlds is still quite far. By making adjustments as soon as possible, we can completely avoid them in a few decades!"
Plans cannot keep up with changes. Originally, Qin Muling wanted to counter-attack the Kong Qing Great World, plunder their world's source luck, and integrate their Union to enhance the size and heritage of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
But now, due to the intervention of other Great World forces, for the safe development of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, Qin Muling can only change the established strategy and continue to wait for a while.
"In that case, let's quickly go back and handle this matter, shall we?" Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden embraced Qin Muling and spoke gently.
Qin Muling thought for a moment. It has been over two months since this trip, and various Spiritual Treasures in his body's space have accumulated like mountains. It's time to consider stopping. His senior sisters and junior sisters are still waiting for him to return and cultivate with them.
"Okay, let's return then!" Qin Muling agreed and controlled the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore to turn around and teleport towards the direction of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
...
Kong Qing Great World.
Deep within the magnificent and towering palace complex, the highest representatives of the eleven Transcendent Level forces gathered once again to discuss how to deal with the current crisis.
In fact, this is already the fourth group of representatives to take the stage. The previous three groups have all died under the invasion of that mysterious curse, without even leaving a trace of their souls.
Not only the representatives of the Transcendent Level forces, but even the core elders, the Supreme Elders, and the inheritors of the Dao, such as the Saint Children and Holy Maidens, have suffered heavy losses in each family. Those who remain are constantly anxious and restless.
Moreover, even the current eleven leaders have been affected by that mysterious and terrifying curse, and their time is running out.
"...The latest summarized intelligence shows that there are at least hundreds of people from various Great Worlds watching the chaos and void near our world day and night. There will definitely be more Great Worlds involved!" The newly appointed Supreme Sect Master of the Saint Orchid Valley, Zhuge Cangyan, stroked the armrest of his throne and said in a low voice.
At this moment, the radiance on his body is dim, his complexion is gray and defeated, and his whole person is in a state of extreme exhaustion, like an old zombie with one foot in the coffin.
Knowing that he is doomed to die, he has already designated the next Supreme Sect Master as his successor, fortunately, the other party is temporarily safe.
"So many people have died before, and they still won't give up? Do we need to send out our troops to sweep them again?" The Supreme Sect Master of the Zhenhai Sect said in a cold tone, "Our current strength is still strong enough to expel or even annihilate them! In the future, any forces that dare to come over without opening their eyes can be dealt with in this way!"
"Yes, our Kong Qing Great World has only encountered some temporary difficulties. How dare these bastards try to harm us? They really don't know their own limits!" The newly appointed God Emperor of the Twilight Divine Dynasty said through gritted teeth.
In terms of absolute numbers, the elite legions of the eleven Transcendent Level forces suffered minimal losses. The high-end strategic military power of the Quasi-Saint Emperors also had limited losses, as the mysterious curse could only target a maximum of two hundred targets at a time. Most of the Quasi-Saint Emperors were currently safe.
If we talk about military losses, they were mainly incurred during the extermination of those foreign forces.
However, the fallen figures were mostly those at the Three Corpses Unified Harmony stage, and those who had completely severed their Three Corpses Incarnation. They were all highly influential and indispensable figures within the Transcendent Level forces. The negative impact was extremely severe.
"...Alright, let's mobilize our troops again and teach them a lesson. We can kill as many as we can! The advantage of our Kong Qing Great World is not so easily taken advantage of," Zhuge Cangyan said coldly. They were already pushed to a desperate situation, and they no longer needed to consider other influences. Even their former allies could no longer be relied upon, and the situation ahead would undoubtedly become even more difficult.
"Speaking of which, is there really no solution to this terrifying curse?" someone asked unwillingly.
The hall fell silent, and all the decision-makers fell silent.
If there was still a choice, who would willingly accept a tragic ending of death and decay? Unfortunately, the development of the situation was beyond their wishes. The Transcendent Level worlds standing at the peak in the depths of the chaotic void had sent people to investigate the situation and provided some means, but unfortunately, they were of no use.
And such news could not be blocked. That was why those foreign forces were so audacious, because they knew that Kong Qing Great World would not have another chance to turn the tables.
"...Actually, there's a question that I've been unable to figure out. How did the enemy hidden in the dark attack us? What method did they use?" a sinister-looking old man paused with his scepter in hand and said coldly.
"The method of witchcraft curse requires the target's aura or personal belongings. However, our protective measures in this regard are very meticulous, and it's unlikely that there would be any loopholes. So where did the problem arise?" he continued.
After a moment of silence, the God Emperor of the Twilight Divine Dynasty slowly said, "It should be that our allied forces have colluded with the enemy and betrayed this crucial information. Otherwise, a newly emerged enemy wouldn't be able to obtain such information."
The decision-makers pondered for a moment and had no objections. This was the only reasonable inference.
"So, what does the other side want?" Zhuge Cangyan gritted his teeth and said, "They don't seem to have any old grudges with us. There's no need to exterminate us completely, right? Shouldn't we find an opportunity to talk to them?"
A pale-faced middle-aged man who kept coughing nodded, "Indeed, we can talk to them and find out what they really want. As long as they don't force us into a dead end, everything can be negotiated."
This was how wars between different Great Worlds worked. If you couldn't win, you would surrender, sacrificing enough benefits to get the other side to show mercy and cease hostilities. This was a common practice.
Although Kong Qing Great World, which was used to being strong and domineering, rarely bowed down and made concessions in the past, they couldn't afford to consider that now.
In any case, they had to find a way to survive this current crisis. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before Kong Qing Great World was completely destroyed and became a world in ruins.
"That's it then! Activate all our secret intelligence channels and use every means possible to establish contact with the other side. Then, inquire about the conditions for them to stop fighting," they finally reached a consensus on this matter.
