Chapter 396: Sweeping the Chaotic Void
Deep within the Chaotic Void,
Outside the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, a massive and majestic Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus stood still, exuding an unparalleled aura that overlooked all things and the Great Dao. It covered an area of over a hundred thousand miles, and wherever it went, the chaotic and violent disturbances reached their extreme, occasionally giving way to an unprecedented tranquility.
Under the suppression of the Azure Lotus' shadow, the ferocious and ugly Chaotic Ferocious Beasts, emitting a strong aura of violence, became hesitant and reluctant to move forward, their strength greatly diminished.
Seizing the opportunity, the Grand Palace Master and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao took action. The boundless misty sword qi and gentle annihilating thunder light alternated, killing all these ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors that terrified the beasts, leaving behind life crystals of various sizes, exuding a strong vitality.
Then, these precious crystals naturally fell into Qin Muling's hands and were directly refined and absorbed by him.
Outside, at the edge of the space influenced by the Azure Lotus' shadow, the Chaotic Void environment remained restless and chaotic, like a purgatory. The two sides were clearly distinct and did not interfere with each other. More Chaotic Ferocious Beasts emerged from the chaotic tide, rushing towards the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore like moths to a flame.
At the same time, strands of chaotic brilliance and chaotic stars, about a foot thick, emerged from the depths of the tide, falling silently onto the virtual images of the Azure Lotus leaves, blending in without a sound.
Nourished by this chaotic brilliance, the Azure Lotus itself became more agile and vibrant, and the fragments of the Dao Rhyme became more intense. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and the Grand Palace Master, being in it, felt a warm and comfortable sensation throughout their bodies.
"...Speaking of which, if you had the time, you could have settled down in this Chaotic Void for years of cultivation. Perhaps you could enter the mature stage faster? We could also quickly reach the threshold of the Saint Supreme!" The Grand Palace Master said with a smile. Qin Muling nodded silently. Since entering the Chaotic Void, his body had been undergoing indescribable changes every moment, and the profound and mysterious nature of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus was becoming more apparent.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao did not object to this either. Only when Qin Muling grew up could they obtain more benefits, and the possibility of achieving the path of the Saint Supreme would also increase.
The Grand Palace Master, who was bright and noble, touched Qin Muling a few times and said with a smile, "After the two realms are unified and the great calamity is over, we can accompany you to reside in the Chaotic Void for as long as you want! We can stay as long as you like!"
She felt that the time for her to achieve the path of the Saint Supreme was not too close. It might still require enough accumulation. But as long as she could stay by Qin Muling's side, there would eventually be a moment of complete merit and eternal transcendence.
"Well, that's something for the future. Let's talk about it later!" Qin Muling responded, and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao gave him a charming glance, but in her heart, she was pondering when this guy would step into the realm of the Great Principal Golden Immortal. By then, she should be able to make a move on him, right?
As it is now, she only brushed against Qin Muling during their cultivation, playing on the edge, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.
After more than an hour, seeing that there were no more chaotic creatures emerging from the chaotic tide around them, the Grand Palace Master finally took action and collected a set of ancient, radiant, and seemingly integrated dark golden armor from the chaotic light curtain tens of thousands of miles away.
This was a powerful defensive heavy weapon. The armor was made of a material that resembled gold and jade, with intricate and mysterious Dao patterns on its surface, enveloped in a heavy dark golden radiance. Inside, it contained a total of thirty-six Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions, reaching the level of a Peerless Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. One more layer and it would be considered an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure.
"Not bad. Give it to Fourth Senior Sister. It suits her perfectly," Qin Muling said. Since advancing to the Quasi-Saint Emperor, Luo Wanqing's ancient witch bloodline within her had completely awakened. As a body cultivator skilled in close combat, this set of Supreme Grade armor would greatly enhance her strength.
"Alright, you can handle the arrangements!" The Grand Palace Master said with a smile. With her vision, she no longer valued treasures of this level. At least, it would have to possess more than forty-two Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions for her to consider it.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had no objections either. Qin Muling couldn't use so many treasures herself, so she planned to give them to her senior sisters when she returned. This would be like keeping the fat water within their own fields, further enhancing the overall strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
After collecting the treasures, Qin Muling took out a round mirror that was resplendent with colorful smoke and possessed thirty-three layers of Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions. She dropped a drop of her own blood into it and continued to deduce the location of the next precious treasure.
The Grand Palace Master looked with interest at the chaotic-colored blood that emitted a faint purple aura and golden brilliance. It was difficult to imagine the incredible aura of Good Fortune and the scent of the Azure Lotus that permeated the space. She couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
"Alright, let's set off." Qin Muling announced the direction of the area, and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao agreed. The Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore suddenly burst into a strong light and disappeared into the depths of the chaotic void.
As they traveled, Qin Muling occasionally manifested the shadow of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, coming into contact with the chaotic tides outside. Through this, she could perceive and deduce the situation in the surrounding space. When they encountered groups of chaotic beasts, she would kill them, and she collected all kinds of Innate spiritual treasures they discovered along the way.
Compared to last time, they had ventured into the chaotic void hundreds of times farther. Even a normal Quasi-Saint Emperor would not dare or be able to go to such a distant space. Even if everything went smoothly, it would take hundreds of years to make a round trip.
However, with the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, this was not a problem.
After refining and absorbing a large number of life crystals from Chaotic Ferocious Beasts, the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus gained considerable benefits. The twenty-seventh shadow of the Azure Lotus leaf was already faintly visible and would fully manifest soon.
"...It seems that we have entered another territory of the Beast Kings. Many powerful beasts are rapidly approaching," Qin Muling suddenly said, her words not showing any nervousness.
The Grand Palace Master smiled and said, "That's great. Kill them all and replenish yourself. I hope we can find more good things this time!"
With sufficient strength, these Chaotic Ferocious Beasts were also extremely valuable resources. In addition to life crystals, some of their organs and shells were extremely precious materials that could be used for medicine refining, alchemy, or the creation of powerful Law Weapons or Law Treasures.
After dozens of breaths, both women could see the outside scene clearly. It was a creature that was entirely blood-red and resembled a giant crocodile. It had hundreds of insect-like limbs growing underneath it. Its dark beastly body was covered in a hard shell, emitting a chilling cold light.
Just by the aura they emitted, they were almost equivalent to ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors in strength. Especially when they moved in groups, they were a nightmare for immortals who traveled outside.
However, this was nothing to the two women now. Under the suppression of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, they could only exert about ten percent of their strength.
In the next moment, the overwhelming sword shadows from the Primordial Origin Sword Case filled every corner of their vision, unstoppable.
After a series of eerie and sharp howls, the void returned to calm, and a terrible smell of blood spread.
"They're all yours!" The Grand Palace Master collected over a hundred crystal-like objects the size of water tanks, all of which were the condensed life essence of the beasts. Each crystal emitted a majestic and vigorous vitality.
Qin Muling took them and immediately threw all the life crystals into the depths of the Azure Lotus shadow. In an instant, they were absorbed and refined.
A surging heat flowed through her body, and the Azure Lotus shadow became brighter and more solid. The dense chaos brilliance filled the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, emitting a strong Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme aura.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sent out her Evil Thought Incarnation. The cold and elegant lady in black armor and black dress entered the lair of the Beast King and returned shortly after with a full load.
As she raised her hands, a sound of "clattering" filled the air, and a pile of rare divine iron, chaotic divine materials, and various unheard-of Innate spiritual objects appeared before their eyes. Each of them was an Apex Level material that could only be found in the depths of chaos, and there were several types that even Qin Muling didn't recognize.
After counting, there were more than forty Innate spiritual objects in total, with the highest being two Middle Grade items, which were already equivalent to the pinnacle of Peerless Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. The rest were all High Grade and Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
There were a total of seventy-three Innate Spiritual Treasures, most of which were above Middle Grade, and there were even seven Peerless Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures among them!
They included a pair of dark purple boots, a pair of crescent-shaped daggers, a set of twenty-four fist-sized translucent beads, a slender spear, a set of dark silver bells, and a silver rope shining with silver radiance.
Among them, the most outstanding was the set of thirty-six dark silver bells, which were imposing and covered with patterns of wind, thunder, and nebula. Inside, there were a total of forty-five Innate Primordial Treasure Seal Restrictions, which were equivalent to the Nine Melody Divine Phoenix Bell, the supreme treasure of the Divine Phoenix Palace. They were all extremely rare Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures that were hard to come by.
"How should we distribute them? Discuss it among yourselves, no need to ask for my opinion."
Qin Muling glanced at the two women and wisely chose not to get involved.
When it came to treasures that could affect the fate of Transcendent Level forces and the rise and fall of Immortal Sacred Lands, no one would be generous. The Grand Palace Master pondered for a moment and said, "This is the first Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure you found since entering the chaotic void. Why don't you give it to me first? When you find the second one, it will be your sister's turn, how about that?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded, "Alright, but Mu Ling is also eligible to participate in the distribution. The second one goes to me, and the third one goes to him. We'll take turns."
"That's a fair approach, let's settle it like this!"
The Grand Palace Master said with satisfaction.
Qin Muling could take half of the Peerless Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and the two women would share the other half. As for the High Grade and Middle Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the two women were not interested, so they all went to Qin Muling.
"By the way, what is the artifact that Genesis Star Palace uses to suppress fate? And what kind of Spiritual Treasure does she use?"
Qin Muling suddenly asked. As the recognized number one powerhouse in the Upper Realm, his accumulation in this area was bound to be impressive. However, he didn't know if the current Divine Phoenix Palace could directly confront it.
The Grand Palace Master hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "My ancestors and masters have seen her before. But I haven't had the opportunity to meet her, so I can't tell you the answer."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao also shook her head. Her cultivation was not as high as the Grand Palace Master's, so it was even less likely for her to have seen that person.
As for the several Apex Level powerhouses who had fought against her in the Upper Realm, after so many years, the details were still a secret. Even to their closest disciples, they had never revealed a word.
Obviously, those powerhouses had suffered losses under her hands back then, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted like this. Since then, very few Transcendent Level forces had dared to trouble the Genesis Star Palace, except for the Monster Emperor Kingdom.
"In that case, if there is a war in the future, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance may not be able to withstand the Genesis Star Palace, right?"
Qin Muling asked thoughtfully. Judging from the Grand Palace Master's hesitant expression, it was clear that she had no confidence.
"If there is a choice, no one would want to go to war with her."
The Grand Palace Master said somewhat helplessly, "That Monster Emperor from the Monster Emperor Kingdom, I don't know what got into him. He insisted on fighting with her for so many years, but didn't gain any advantage and instead suffered quite a serious injury."
"Never mind, it's useless to talk about these things now. Let's continue searching for opportunities," Qin Muling said.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled meaningfully and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. If you can find no less than ten Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures to suppress the qi, even if the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is not in great shape, they will still have enough self-defense capabilities."
"I will do my best," Qin Muling said.
Qin Muling thought to herself, "This chaotic void is not my backyard. How is it possible to have as many Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures as I want?"
But the Grand Palace Master didn't think so. With Qin Muling's unparalleled luck, it was only a matter of time before she accomplished this.
If even she couldn't do it, then no one else could.
...
In the Upper Realm, in the Buddha Domain Pure Land.
In the Pure Land of Tranquil Monastery, four Buddha Ancestors of the Buddhist sect sat quietly, facing Supreme Qi Wushang, the head of the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace.
"Fellow Daoists, have you been able to determine the origin of these methods?" Qi Wushang asked in a low voice, his expression unable to hide his gloominess.
The Buddha Ancestors remained silent for a while, and the young monk sitting in the center spoke softly, "I don't know which sacred being Qi Fellow Daoist has offended. These inexplicable methods have puzzled us for so long. Even in the secret scriptures of the Buddhist lineage, there is no record of such things!"
"So?" Qi Wushang asked.
"So, this matter has already exceeded our capabilities," the young monk helplessly said, "Fellow Daoist, we will return the partial payment you made in advance. As for this matter... you should seek help from someone more skilled."
Qi Wushang: "..."
To be honest, with the terrifying heritage of the Buddha Domain Pure Land, even the extremely intelligent Buddha Ancestors found this problem difficult to solve. It was likely that not even a few incidents could be resolved in tens of thousands of years. But Qi Wushang's matter truly stumped them.
The robed monk said gently, "Fellow Daoist, these methods seem more like some kind of mysterious witchcraft curse, but they contain extremely profound and mysterious principles of the Great Dao. So, you can try looking for the Witch Emperor. Perhaps there will be more hope."
"That seems to be the only option," Qi Wushang pondered for a moment and nodded absentmindedly.
