Chapter 315: Qin Muling: I don't like this!
"Ancestor, you..." Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's words instantly made Mu Yinghua nervous.
Although she understood that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao also couldn't do without Qin Muling's help, and that there would eventually come a day like this, it was still difficult for the sect leader to accept it so bluntly.
Moreover, what cultivation level does Qin Muling have now? Even if he wants to help her, he is powerless! If he forces himself, he might end up being drained...
"Don't be nervous, it's not what you think," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said, "As long as we have Mu Ling's luck to assist us, we can try to perfect the Three Corpse Incarnation. Hmm, before my Ascension, I discovered several unripe innate treasures in the depths of the chaotic void. After so many years of nurturing, I believe they can all be harvested."
"If he accompanies us on this matter, it will surely go more smoothly and minimize the probability of unexpected events."
The chaotic void is mysterious and unpredictable, with no discernible directions and even the concept of time and space laws is blurred. The environment is extremely dangerous, and all kinds of legendary fierce creatures abound. Even a few particularly terrifying innate chaotic creatures are not to be provoked by ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperors.
That's why Immortal Venerable Qing Yao decided to take Qin Muling with her. With his unparalleled luck, she believed that this trip would be full of surprises but without danger.
"I see." Mu Yinghua breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became somewhat worried. Once Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and Qin Muling leave the sect's main altar, who knows when they will be able to return? If the opposing forces outside catch wind of this, will they take advantage of the situation?
It seemed that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao could see her concerns and said gently, "I will leave an incarnation to guard the sect's main altar. Besides, aren't those few families still harboring Quasi-Saint Emperors who are injured and in a deep sleep? Before we set off, let me take Mu Ling to visit them and heal them!"
Previously, Emperor Xin Yu had been reluctant to let Qin Muling treat them, considering the internal power imbalance within the alliance and Qin Muling's safety. But now that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao has returned forcefully, with five Quasi-Saint Emperor-level direct disciples under her, there is enough strength to ensure Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's influence within the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. There is no need to delay this matter any longer.
No one would complain about having too much power. If the Female Cultivators Union Alliance can have four more Quasi-Saint Emperors, it will surely further widen the gap with other sects and have more confidence in dealing with various calamities in the future. Even if Dao Court can invite a few Quasi-Saint Emperors from the upper realm to assist, they may not necessarily gain the upper hand.
"Well, it's up to the ancestor's arrangement." Mu Yinghua let go of her worries. After all, she is the founding ancestor and naturally considers things comprehensively. The representatives of those external forces are simply not worth considering in her presence.
After pondering for a moment, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao took out a fist-sized golden lotus-shaped jade stone and handed it to Mu Yinghua, saying, "If you can find Mu Ling and bring him back to the sect, you will be the greatest contributor in the history of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. So... this Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill is a reward for you. As for the position of sect leader, you can sit on it for as long as you want, and they won't have any objections."
According to the customs of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the position of sect leader of those Supreme sects is not for life. No matter how outstanding they are, they have to hand over their power and retire after a certain period of time, and a new person will be chosen to take over.
But now, with the founding ancestor speaking, Mu Yinghua can sit in this position until the end of time.
"Thank you, ancestor." Mu Yinghua couldn't help but bow in joy, accepting the jade stone. The jade stone was semi-transparent, and inside it was sealed a green-gold pill the size of a dragon's eye. Faintly visible within the pill were swirling purple qi and shimmering radiance, exuding an unimaginable aura of good fortune and a profound and mysterious Dao Rhyme.
"So this is the legendary Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill?" Qin Muling curiously took a look. Due to the long-term decline of the world, it is impossible for the current Extreme Void Starry Sky to produce a Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill. It did appear during the ancient immortal era, but it was also quite rare.
Emperor Qing Huan, who excels in alchemy, has been trying to refine the Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill recently, but unfortunately, he always falls short, even with Qin Muling's Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme assisting him.
The pill that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao took out is undoubtedly from a superpower in the upper realm, so its preciousness can be imagined.
Recently, Qin Muling has been considering whether to give his master another lotus seed, so that she can break through to the Quasi-Saint Emperor level as soon as possible. The downside is that it will inevitably arouse suspicion from Emperor Xin Yu and others, leading to an investigation and the discovery of his secret, which would be troublesome.
Now, with the assistance of this Primordial Great Dao Golden Pill, Mu Yinghua's cultivation can naturally cover up the past without anyone suspecting Qin Muling.
"This pill was refined by the Grand Palace Master of the Divine Phoenix Palace in the Upper Realm," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao explained. "Back then, I helped the Divine Phoenix Palace win an important gamble, so the Grand Palace Master rewarded me with this pill. As long as the Great Principal Golden Immortal takes it, they can reach the Quasi-Saint Emperor realm within a hundred years and achieve a flawless Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit."
"I don't need it myself, so I might as well give it to you. Everything that belongs to you in the future, no one can take it away!" Mu Yinghua blushed slightly. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's words clearly had a deeper meaning, not only referring to the position of the sect leader, but also Mu Yinghua's position and influence in Qin Muling's heart. No matter what kind of seductive woman comes along, they won't be able to shake it.
Looking at Qin Muling, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao apologized, "I didn't know about your existence before returning, and I didn't have time to prepare a suitable gift. But as long as we bring back the heavenly treasures from the chaotic void, there will surely be something suitable for you."
Because Immortal Venerable Qing Yao herself is female, when she founded the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, she set a rule of not accepting male disciples. Before returning from the Upper Realm, she never thought she would be so concerned about a male junior disciple.
After accumulating so many years in the Upper Realm, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao actually had many good things at her disposal, but unfortunately, there were hardly any suitable for male cultivators. So much so that she couldn't even produce a decent gift for Qin Muling.
"It's a pity. If you were to transform into a female body, I would be completely confident in helping you achieve the Great Principal Golden Immortal Dao Fruit within ten years," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said regretfully.
Qin Muling smiled awkwardly, thinking that if he became a female cultivator, where would he find so many senior sisters to be his Dao companions? Even the sect leader could only play games of polishing mirrors with him.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao glanced meaningfully at him and said, "The dual cultivation technique of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace can also be used among female cultivators, and the supreme pleasure it brings is actually better than the feeling between men and women. You'll know once you try it."
"I appreciate the goodwill of the ancestor, but I'll pass on trying it!" Qin Muling firmly shook his head. He had no interest in becoming a female cultivator and spending his days polishing mirrors with his senior sisters. It would be too embarrassing to let others know.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sighed with some regret. How did this Innate Primordial Spirit Seed end up transforming into a male body? If he were female, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace might have already dominated the Extreme Void Starry Sky!
"Ancestor, actually, being a male cultivator also has its advantages. I've been thinking, if I can quickly give birth to offspring for him, then the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will have more talented women. Even in the Upper Realm, we can become the most powerful lineage. Wouldn't that be better than now?" Mu Yinghua gathered her courage to explain.
"Hmm? That seems to make sense."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, looking at Qin Muling and said, "Then you and your senior sisters should work hard to give birth to daughters as soon as possible! When the time comes, I will personally teach and guide them!"
"Alright, as you command, Ancestor."
Qin Muling touched his nose. It wasn't difficult for a high-level cultivator to control the gender of their offspring. Most larger sects and aristocratic families usually had records and secret formulas in this regard.
So... in the future, he could only have daughters and not sons?
But Qin Muling asked himself honestly, it seemed that he liked daughters more. As for whether he had sons or not, it didn't seem that important anymore.
"Don't call me Ancestor, it makes me seem old-fashioned. Just call me Senior Sister when we're alone, like they do."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao gently caressed Qin Muling's face with her jade-like hand and said with a smile, finding this young man more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Alright, Senior Sister."
Qin Muling responded obediently. After all, her thoughts about him... were the same. It was just a matter of time.
"Well... can I go into seclusion now?" Mu Yinghua asked. With the effect of the time acceleration array, a hundred years of seclusion would only take a little over a month. Even if the time to stabilize her cultivation was added, it wouldn't take too long. Two months would be enough.
The only downside was that once she became a Quasi-Saint Emperor, she couldn't cultivate with Qin Muling for the time being. But he was already not far from the Profound Immortal realm, so it wasn't a big problem.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao nodded slightly. "Go ahead. When you achieve the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit, I'll take Mu Ling out to do some work."
Qin Muling quickly said, "Then I'll accompany you, Senior Sister. With the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, the effect should be even better."
"Very well," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said, "But I have never heard of this Spiritual Light of Enlightenment in the Upper Realm. How extraordinary is it? Why don't we both go into seclusion and let me witness it?"
"Um, well..." Qin Muling looked troubled, while Mu Yinghua blushed and stammered, unsure of how to explain.
As Dao companions, Qin Muling and Mu Yinghua practiced together, completely exposed to each other during cultivation. There were also intimate techniques that were not meant to be shared with outsiders. It would be embarrassing to have their ancestor watching them.
"Is there a problem?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere and asked with a hint of surprise.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yinghua used her divine sense to inform Immortal Venerable Qing Yao of the situation, then said, "If Ancestor finds it inconvenient, then we won't..."
"It's fine!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao interrupted, "This kind of thing is not a big deal. I can do it too. Let's decide on that!"
"Okay, okay."
Since Immortal Venerable Qing Yao didn't mind, what else could Mu Yinghua say? She could only agree.
After a while, as the formation layers opened one by one, Qin Muling, lying on the embroidered bed, entered a state of enlightenment with ease.
In the curious gaze of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, a mysterious, profound, and distant light emerged from within Qin Muling, spreading outward in a three-zhang radius before stabilizing.
"So this is the extraordinary power of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus? Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is truly fortunate to have such a rare opportunity!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sighed with emotion. Such an Innate divine object taking form was extremely rare even in the vast and majestic Upper Realm, let alone possessing the extraordinary power of Qin Muling.
In theory, with the status of the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, it was entirely possible to evolve and create a brand new world. Although it would take a considerable amount of time.
Therefore, even in the Upper Realm, if someone like Qin Muling became widely known, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of various powerful figures, who would compete to seize him. Even the few superpowers at the top of the pyramid would fight tooth and nail, unleashing a bloody catastrophe, just to obtain him.
"Ancestor, if Divine Phoenix Palace in the Upper Realm learns of Mu Ling's true identity, what will happen?" Mu Yinghua asked softly.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's expression turned serious, and she said in a deep voice, "It's impossible! I will do everything in my power to block the news. I will never let him be noticed by the Upper Realm!"
Regardless of how good the relationship between Divine Phoenix Palace and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was, let alone the fact that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was a vassal force of Divine Phoenix Palace, with the opportunity Qin Muling possessed, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had the confidence to achieve enlightenment and become a saint before anyone else. At that time, even the Grand Palace Master of Divine Phoenix Palace would be helpless against her.
Mu Yinghua nodded. With such a unique opportunity, it could only be enjoyed by themselves. Divine Phoenix Palace couldn't offer equivalent benefits, so why should they let Qin Muling go?
After a few moments, the range of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment slowly contracted until it stabilized within a three-foot radius.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao reached out to explore and nodded in satisfaction. The effect of this Spiritual Light of Enlightenment would already have significant benefits for a peak Great Principal Golden Immortal. After Qin Muling broke through to the Profound Immortal realm, it should be able to benefit the initial stage Quasi-Saint Emperor.
"Alright, you two can focus on your cultivation. Don't worry about me. Just pretend I'm not here!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said.
Mu Yinghua was speechless. How could she pretend not to know when their founding ancestor was watching? It was really embarrassing for her.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled generously, calmly removing her outer robe. Soon, only a purple transparent silk bellyband remained on her snowy, enchanting, and breathtakingly beautiful body. It tightly bound her plump and firm peaks, with a deep central cleavage that seemed bottomless. Her smooth and delicate snow-white skin was dazzling, and the thin ribbon was tied into an exquisite knot behind her swan-like neck.
The exquisite purple skirt barely covered the middle section of her round and slender legs. Every curve and detail of her body was flawless and carried an indescribable allure. Even Mu Yinghua, who was also a woman, blushed and felt her heart race when she looked at her.
It was unimaginable how thrilling it would be to see her like this in a state of complete exposure. Fortunately, Qin Muling was deeply immersed in enlightenment and didn't see Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's stunning appearance at the moment.
"Alright, now there's no burden, right?"
She climbed onto the fragrant embroidered bed with confidence, waved her hand to lower the beautiful curtains, and sat cross-legged behind Qin Muling, embracing him in her arms with her delicate jade arms.
Mu Yinghua finally let go of her worries and began to focus on her cultivation after taking the elixir.
...
In Emperor Qing Huan's dojo.
Beside a beautiful lake as clear as sapphires, in a magnificent pavilion, Lan Hua, Tong Ying, Jing Lan, and Emperor Qing Huan were all enjoying tea and discussing the Dao.
"...That person has returned, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, but our days may not be so easy in the future!"
Emperor Jing Lan's eyes wandered, with a hint of melancholy in her tone.
With Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's terrifying cultivation, she is currently able to deter various forces from acting recklessly, even Genesis Star Palace is temporarily not a threat. However, she is ultimately the founder of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, so naturally she prioritizes the interests of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in everything, and may not pay as much attention to the female cultivation sects.
Although this is human nature, as the head of the Supreme, Emperor Qing Huan and the other female cultivators couldn't convince themselves to accept this situation calmly.
"What do you think, what realm has her cultivation reached now? Has she successfully severed her three corpses?"
Emperor Lan Hua frowned and asked.
The realm of Quasi-Saint Emperor, also known as the Sub-Saint, is also divided into three levels. The difference in strength between a Quasi-Saint Emperor who has severed one corpse and a Quasi-Saint Emperor who has severed three corpses is obvious. Similarly, the strength of a Quasi-Saint Emperor who has severed two corpses and three corpses is also on completely different levels.
Of course, this refers to the strength of the Quasi-Saint Emperor themselves, without considering the power boost from various Innate Spiritual Treasures, Innate Treasures, and supreme Dao techniques.
The three women looked at Emperor Qing Huan at the same time. She had the highest cultivation among them and the deepest foundation in Dao Court, so she had the most say.
Emperor Qing Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Based on my vague perception, she should have severed her three corpses, but for some reason, she still lacks a little bit of refinement and has not been able to reach perfection, so she cannot progress further."
"That must mean she has been stuck at this stage for who knows how many years."
Emperor Jing Lan said, this situation is not uncommon in the ancient immortal cultivation world, almost all Quasi-Saint Emperors have experienced this, unable to break through the final barrier until they perish in a calamity.
Emperor Qing Huan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Even so, she has enough capital to look down on us. Whether we can reach her height in our lifetime is still uncertain!"
Emperor Qing Huan is currently only at the stage of severing one corpse, and Emperor Tong Ying and the others have not even crossed this step yet, mainly because the Extreme Void Starry Sky has long been in decline and the Dao Rhyme of the heavens and earth has dried up, making it significantly more difficult to achieve the level of a Quasi-Saint Emperor.
Emperor Tong Ying gently stroked her proud snowy hair and smiled, "So, if we want to advance as soon as possible, our hopes lie with Qin Muling. As long as he is willing... we can all do it."
Emperor Lan Hua glanced at her and said with frustration, "We may want to, but will he give us the opportunity? Even if he agrees, that person probably won't easily agree, right? With benefits involved, the seductress of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will definitely be the first to benefit, and we 'outsiders' will be lucky if we can get a share!"
In the end, Qin Muling belongs to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace first, and then to the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance. Therefore, in the distribution of opportunities, there will naturally be a first-come, first-served rule, and it is impossible to achieve equal treatment for everyone.
If they were in Qin Muling's shoes, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong with this situation either.
Emperor Jing Lan pursed her lips and calmly said, "Regarding this matter, I think Qin Muling's attitude is the most important. As long as we can please him, regardless of whether the higher-ups of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace have other ideas, it won't affect us gaining his attention. What do you think?"
Qin Muling's future status and position will undoubtedly be unique and irreplaceable in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and even in the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, so his opinion is crucial.
As Qin Muling's cultivation becomes higher and higher, even if he becomes a Quasi-Saint Emperor, it will be impossible for anyone to go against him or force him to accept things he doesn't like.
The four empresses pondered for a moment and felt that this viewpoint made sense. No matter how others saw it, as long as Qin Muling was satisfied, these difficulties would no longer be difficulties.
