Chapter 366: The Palace of Calamitous Fate, Jumping Back and Forth
In the camp of the Dao Court army,
Xiong Tianhe, with a solemn expression, was about to say something to Emperor Xuan Yin beside him when a sudden bone-chilling coldness overwhelmed him, almost freezing his body and soul.
"Hmm?"
Xiong Tianhe's face changed drastically. Instantly, he unleashed hundreds of Divine Ability secret techniques that restrained curses and evil spirits, but there was no response, as if the coldness just now was just an illusion.
"Ancestor, what's wrong?"
Emperor Xuan Yin keenly sensed that something was amiss and asked in confusion.
"It's...nothing!"
Xiong Tianhe looked around in astonishment. That indescribable and bone-deep eerie feeling came and went quickly. No matter how he used his methods to explore his body and soul, including his three incarnations, he found nothing.
Damn it...what the hell are those women on the other side doing?
This Dao Court's Divine Needle of the Boundless Sea couldn't help but mutter. As a powerful being who had completely severed his three corpses and was highly regarded even in the Upper Realm, he didn't believe that his perception was wrong. It could only be that the other party used some unknown means to plot against him.
When it came to plotting and scheming, there were countless methods in the Extreme Void Starry Sky and the Upper Realm. There were various schools and countless tricks from certain special intelligent races' peculiar Divine Abilities. It was simply impossible to guard against them, and even someone like Xiong Tianhe couldn't afford to be careless.
However, in this situation, Xiong Tianhe couldn't question the other party. He could only order a continued fierce attack with a gloomy expression.
Perhaps after breaking through the Mountain Protection Formation, he could capture these female emperors and interrogate them about what conspiracy they used against him.
High above the sky, billions of meteor-sized Bathing Fire Falling Stars appeared and exploded under the control of the Dao Court emperors, turning into boundless bright light and chaotic torrents, pouring down with lightning speed.
The structure of the billions of miles of void trembled slightly, and the Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme of heaven and earth was already in a state of violent disorder. More than a hundred Quasi-Saint Emperors, along with the power of their many Innate Spiritual Treasures, had already put a heavy burden on this side of the void.
Their joint full-force attack was enough to instantly annihilate the tens of thousands of miles thick light curtain of the Mountain Protection Formation. However, the defense of the Mountain Protection Formation, built around the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, was far more resilient and had a recovery speed beyond imagination. It could restore itself to its original state within a few breaths, rendering the attacks of the Dao Court camp useless.
Moreover, the mysterious attacks that made Xiong Tianhe uneasy had not stopped. Soon, another senior emperor, who was close to severing his three corpses, felt a chilling sensation all over his body, followed by the next one.
Silently, six senior Quasi-Saint Emperors who had severed their two corpses in the Dao Court camp were successively hit, although they realized that something was wrong, they had no way to counter it.
With Qin Muling's current cultivation realm, he could only use these two innate Divine Abilities on a maximum of seven targets at once. Therefore, apart from the Innate Chaos God and Demon struggling in the depths of the chaotic void, there were now six targets with the highest cultivation level in the Dao Court camp that he had targeted.
As for how long they could hold on after being hit, it would depend on their own Good Fortune. But Qin Muling dared to conclude that they would definitely not last longer than the Innate Chaos God and Demon.
"...Junior Martial Brother, are you okay?"
In the core hub of the grand formation, the elegant and dignified Empress Yuhuan gently held Qin Muling's arm, her expression filled with concern, causing Yu Lingzhou, who was about to reach out, to hesitate for a moment.
"It's alright, I just used up some of my mana. As long as I rest for a while, I'll be able to recover," Qin Muling said. The frequent use of such a killing move indeed took a toll on him, to the point where his face turned pale and his aura greatly weakened.
Emperor Xin Yu handed over a radiant and majestic Dao Rhyme Immortal Grade elixir to Qin Muling. Qin Muling took it and swallowed it, and his complexion immediately became visibly healthier.
"Alright, you guys accompany Junior Brother back to rest. There's no need for you to continue guarding here," Mu Yinghua quickly ordered. She was never at ease with Qin Muling staying here, so it was better to let him stay in the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
Since his purpose had been achieved, Qin Muling no longer insisted and left under the escort of his senior sisters.
Entering the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore and returning to his own Cave Mansion, Qin Muling calmly examined the changes in his luck phenomenon. Sure enough, the golden-purple clouds that had gathered faintly during that period had become denser, obviously due to the contribution of those six old fellows.
For them, although the loss of luck seemed insignificant at first glance, over time, it accumulated into a terrifying amount. It would definitely bring them misfortune and make everything go wrong. If there was no suitable Divine Ability to resolve it, their mana cultivation would gradually decline, their realm would fall, and various calamities would come one after another, ultimately leading to a miserable end.
"Junior Brother, there's nothing else to do now, shall we... go cultivate?" The enchanting and graceful Fairy Qingchan, with her beautiful curves, embraced Qin Muling from behind, her plump and full breasts pressing against his back, exhaling a fragrant breath, and said coquettishly.
The senior sisters around them approached silently, surrounding Qin Muling. Their bright and beautiful eyes contained a burning passion, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Alright, let's go together! As for the time... let's set it for three months!" Qin Muling said smoothly. After all, they had waited for too long. If they delayed any further, no one would agree.
The women breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to follow him into the luxurious sleeping palace, where the time acceleration formation was activated.
Inside the inner palace, layers of brocade curtains fell one after another. As the senior sisters took off their gorgeous dresses one by one, their enchanting and captivating bodies, with their smooth and delicate skin, appeared before Qin Muling. The intoxicating fragrance filled the air.
The senior sisters who were going to cultivate in seclusion with Qin Muling this time, besides Princess Long Yi, Luo Qinghan, Mu Yinshuang, and Fairy Qingchan, were a group of peak Great Principal Golden Immortals selected from these four families, with five from each family, totaling twenty-four.
Due to the prearranged reasons, the dressing of these female immortals was the same as that of the senior sisters, exceptionally bold and provocative.
It had to be admitted that the beauty and figure of female cultivators were directly proportional to their cultivation realm. After all, every major breakthrough in cultivation was equivalent to a rebirth, an opportunity for transformation and improvement of their appearance and figure. Any defects and deficiencies in their appearance and figure could be compensated for and optimized.
Therefore, almost all female cultivators who successfully completed Qi Refining and Foundation Building and officially embarked on the path of cultivation were not ugly. Especially high-level female cultivators, they were exceptionally beautiful and stunning.
As for these female immortals who were selected to serve Qin Muling, they are Supreme Grade beauties among Supreme Grade beauties. Even he, who is accustomed to seeing stunning beauties, cannot find any flaws in them.
"Alright, little junior brother, let's begin! The sisters can't wait any longer!" said Qingchan Fairy eagerly, adjusting her golden necklace adorned with gemstones, her blood droplet-shaped pendant, and the patterned silk stockings that revealed her shoulders and back.
The surrounding female immortals looked puzzled and confused. It was their first time practicing in seclusion with Qin Muling, so they were unaware of the profound and mysterious Spiritual Light of Enlightenment.
But when they saw the lonely and mysterious aura surrounding Qin Muling, they suddenly realized.
"So... this is the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment from the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus? It's truly amazing!"
"Now I understand why they value little junior brother so much. With such benefits, who would be willing to share with outsiders?"
"That's right. As long as we can accompany little junior brother in cultivation for millions of years, not to mention becoming a Quasi-Saint Emperor, even severing the three corpses would no longer be an unattainable goal."
"We're lucky to have this opportunity. As long as we protect little junior brother wholeheartedly, there's no doubt we'll achieve enlightenment in the future."
"That's true, but we must also be cautious and keep it a secret. We must not let any unrelated person overhear even a single word, so as not to cause trouble for little junior brother."
"Yes, that makes sense..."
The women sighed with emotion. Under the guidance of Princess Long Yi, they sat around Qin Muling and entered a state of deep enlightenment.
...
Palace of Calamitous Fate, main hall.
In the sect's council chamber, Immortal Venerable Ziyang, the founder of the sect, sat high on the main seat, exuding a powerful aura. His cold and sinister eyes scanned the room below.
The sect leader, Yun Miaozi, and a group of core elders stood silently below, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
Now that the repairs to the sect's main hall were complete, Immortal Venerable Ziyang's mood had improved somewhat, and as a result, Yun Miaozi's situation had also improved.
"...Has there been any news about the battle over there?"
After a long silence, Immortal Venerable Ziyang's gloomy voice echoed in the hall.
Yun Miaozi bowed respectfully and replied, "Reporting to the ancestor, there is still no news of victory."
"Hmph! Dao Court has deployed a force even stronger than the previous attack by the Heavenly Human Race! Can't they capture Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace?" Immortal Venerable Ziyang said coldly.
"Well... Ancestor, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's founder, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, is said to be on par with that person in terms of cultivation. Moreover, there are also many strong cultivators at the level of Quasi-Saint Emperor within the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance. Recently, female cultivators from the Ji family and the Buddhist sect have joined as well, so their overall strength should not be underestimated," Yun Miaozi explained cautiously.
More and more powerful beings are returning from the upper realm, and several female cultivation sects are involved, especially the Ji family and the Buddhist sect. Their foundations in the upper realm are not inferior to Dao Court, so there is no shortage of top-notch experts among them.
Therefore, even though the Dao Court camp has a considerable advantage in strength, they are unable to easily overcome the resolute resistance of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance.
Immortal Venerable Ziyang fell silent for a moment and asked, "So this battle will last a long time before a winner is determined? Will our people be in danger?"
Yun Miaozi hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that way for now. It won't be resolved in less than ten or eight years! As for our disciples, they are temporarily safe. After all, they dare not take the initiative to attack!"
The Palace of Calamitous Fate had long joined the Dao Court camp. In this war against the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, Immortal Venerable Ziyang's three direct disciples, as well as a small group of Taiyi and Great Principal Golden Immortals, all went to battle with the army, as if they were completely tied to the Dao Court's chariot.
Of course, the Palace of Calamitous Fate had no choice now. Due to their previous collusion with the Heavenly Human Race, the Dao Court high-level officials had never looked kindly upon them. If they didn't perform well at this critical moment and continued to hesitate, it was possible that Dao Court would strike first and destroy the Palace of Calamitous Fate.
Immortal Venerable Ziyang snorted, "This battle shouldn't be fought like this at all. If they were willing to listen to my advice, they should concentrate their forces and attack the Divine Maiden Sect, Flower Dew Palace, or Azure Hill Hall. As long as their sect headquarters are destroyed, it will undoubtedly deal a serious blow to the reputation of the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance!"
"If the emperors of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace dare to leave their sect headquarters to support, the forces of Dao Court can set up ambushes along the way or surround and attack their support points. It would be much stronger than the current stalemate!"
"...What the ancestor said is absolutely right."
Yun Miaozi accompanied him with a smile on his face, but sighed helplessly in his heart. Immortal Venerable Ziyang's strategy sounded good, but the prerequisite for all of this to be realized was that the Dao Court camp could gain the upper hand in the field of divination and accurately grasp the real-time movements of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance's high-level officials.
However, with Qin Muling present, all the movements and deployments of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance were shrouded in layers of divination mist, making it impossible to deduce or investigate.
On the other hand, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance could observe the movements of the Dao Court camp as if they were watching the patterns on the palm of their hand, with every detail clearly visible.
When the Female Cultivators Union Alliance plotted against Dao Court, Dao Court couldn't defend against it at all. But when Dao Court plotted against the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, they couldn't figure anything out! In a situation where information was one-sidedly transparent, what else could they do?
Xiong Tianhe and the others were naturally not fools. In a situation where all the strategies of ambush and calculation were not feasible, the most practical choice was to mobilize all available forces and directly attack the core, using strength to break the deadlock.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were meaningless. As long as they successfully broke through the headquarters of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and captured Qin Muling, the ultimate goal of this battle would be achieved, and the rest of the details would not be so important.
Immortal Venerable Ziyang fell silent for a moment and asked again, "If Dao Court wins this battle and successfully captures Qin Muling, what do you think the Palace of Calamitous Fate should do?"
Yun Miaozi carefully chose his words and said, "After the Dao Court high-level officials promise that everything is done, they can let all allies share the benefits of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed's transformation. But I don't think they will fulfill their promise, and even if they do, they will take the lion's share of the benefits, and others will be lucky to get a small portion! So..."
The usual strategy of the Palace of Calamitous Fate is to be a troublemaker, constantly jumping between the major forces and playing the balance. And now, of course, it was no exception.
If the Dao Court camp wins and the Female Cultivators Union Alliance is destroyed, Dao Court will dominate the Extreme Void Starry Sky in the future, which obviously does not align with the interests of the Palace of Calamitous Fate.
But on the other hand, if the Female Cultivators Union Alliance wins and the Dao Court camp suffers a major blow and heavy losses, there will be no power in the Extreme Void Starry Sky to restrain the rise of female cultivators.
Neither of these outcomes seems to be what the high-level officials of the Palace of Calamitous Fate want to see.
I was not feeling well last night, so I didn't update. This chapter is from yesterday, and there will be an update tonight.
