Chapter 537 Mengxuehuan: There Is Always An Opportunity
Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Above the vast sky, a magnificent palace with a hundred acres of land and a beautiful glow slowly drifted by.
On the spacious terrace of the palace, Qin Muling stood by the railing, enjoying the increasingly magnificent and majestic mountains, rivers, and land, with billions of miles of blue sky and sea in sight.
Over a year has passed, and the profound and complex system of the laws of heaven has gradually stabilized, and the size of the entire Great World has nearly doubled from its original state, and it is still slowly increasing.
The evolution of the world has benefited billions of trillions of living beings in this realm. The concentration of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth has further increased. Superb spiritual veins, spiritual springs, various Apex Level Grotto-Heavens, and wild Spirit Medicines can be seen everywhere.
Therefore, in recent times, the Immortal Dynasty has dispatched thousands of inspection teams to explore and map the newly appeared continents, lakes, rivers, and oceans. All newly appeared species, mineral deposits, spiritual veins, and other resources must be registered for Qin Muling's future inquiries and distribution.
Although the number of high-level female cultivators in the Immortal Dynasty's Heavenly Court has been increasing due to Qin Muling's presence, the demand for territories and resources has also been growing. However, due to the rapid growth of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, there are still many unclaimed territories to be allocated.
"...It feels like we're still a little short of the standard for a Profound Level Great World," said Miao Xin Buddha Lord, dressed in exquisite and luxurious deep blue palace robes, with a snowy complexion and a rosy blush. Her soft and charming voice sounded slightly regretful.
Qin Muling replied, "It's okay. We can always go find a few more worlds to plunder in the future. We'll be able to gather the necessary quota for world promotion as soon as possible."
It has been a year since the Extreme Void Starry Sky underwent another transformation. The world origin obtained from the Hidden Mist Great World was partially absorbed and refined by the Azure Lotus phantom, with some shares distributed among the senior sisters. The rest was all poured into the world origin ocean of the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
Therefore, the current Extreme Void Starry Sky is already close to the level of a Profound Level Low Grade Great World, only a step away from complete promotion. Of course, in terms of overall potential, the Extreme Void Starry Sky has already reached the level of a Profound Level High Grade Great World, mainly because of Qin Muling.
"Indeed, for you, Junior Brother, the Yellow Level Great Worlds can be harvested at will," Yu Lingzhou said with a smile. She wore a snow-white flowing fairy dress with wide sleeves and a bright red embroidered bodice. Her dazzling snow-white skin was delicate and pure, and her beautiful face had a hot and curvaceous figure.
Qin Muling embraced her smooth and firm waist and asked, "Are your injuries fully healed?"
"Yes, the avatars of the senior sisters have all recovered, and they have even gained some enhancements compared to before. And I also have my own Spiritual Treasure," she replied.
Yu Lingzhou spoke softly, her plump and smooth body rubbing against him, her beautiful face charming.
In fact, when Great World underwent its transformation, a massive amount of blessings and divine protection descended. Senior sisters and junior sisters all received their share, allowing them to recover most of their strength on the spot. After undergoing dual cultivation with Qin Muling, their complete recovery was only natural.
As for the Spiritual Treasures that had already exploded, it didn't matter. Qin Muling's collection was already rich enough, and it was not a problem to allocate better ones to them.
Qin Muling had been in seclusion for nearly a year, benefiting from the countless senior sisters and junior sisters. A new batch of top experts had also emerged, making the current Extreme Void Starry Sky Immortal Dynasty even stronger.
"When you go out for a trip next time, besides those two places, junior brother, you can also visit other more powerful worlds, right?" Xue Bingxuan, dressed in a fiery red palace robe, said with dignity.
Qin Muling nodded, "That's right. Our cultivation strength has greatly improved, and we can broaden our horizons in more places now."
Since reaching the realm of the Three Corpse Unified Harmony, achieving sainthood had become Qin Muling's imminent goal. Traveling to those older and more powerful worlds would be of great help to his future path of enlightenment.
"By the way, Master, how is the current situation in the Hidden Mist Great World?" Qin Muling asked. During his seclusion with his senior sisters, Yu Xingning had gone there several times with Linghu Xuelan and the others, so she was familiar with the situation there.
Yu Xingning, who was beautiful and plump, smiled and said, "How could it be? They have lost more than half of their world's origin and there are still many Apex Level experts. They can no longer maintain their former prosperity. Various disasters and calamities have befallen them, and the situation is similar to the Kong Qing Great World back then!"
After learning about the calamity that had befallen the Hidden Mist Great World, various powerful beings flocked there, crazily plundering and dividing the resources of this world, seizing whatever they desired.
Although the Red Abyss Demon Palace and the Heavenly Luck Divine Temple fought back with all their might, inflicting great damage on those powerful beings, it was still difficult to fight against so many enemies. The losses continued to increase day by day.
Once their losses reached a critical point and they were no longer able to recover, an even more tragic situation would unfold.
Just like the Kong Qing Great World, with the final three native forces being annihilated, the once vast world no longer had any significant resistance, allowing the foreign forces to act even more recklessly.
Now, the entire Kong Qing Great World was riddled with wounds and in a pitiful state. With the remaining world origin being plundered and looted, it was only a matter of time before it became a remnant relic of a world.
Qin Muling fell silent for a while before speaking softly, "The Hidden Mist Great World has a stronger foundation and hasn't suffered such great losses. It should be able to hold on for a few more years. Although the final outcome won't be much different."
Miao Xin, the Buddha, said, "Under normal circumstances, it is like this, unless... they can find a powerful backer who can shelter them through this calamity."
Yu Lingzhou disdainfully said, "Even if they find a powerful backer, they still need a force willing to accept them. But who would care about a half-dead Great World?"
Tranquil Brahma Heavenly Maiden pondered and said, "There is still a possibility, for example, certain Buddhist Great Worlds are fond of taking advantage of others' misfortunes."
The Buddhist cultivators value their followers the most, so those top experts are particularly keen on spreading the teachings and converting cultivators and mortals in other Great Worlds to Buddhism.
If there are forces that are strong but not interested in Buddhist cultivators, they will incite various demonic forces to attack the territories of those forces and cause trouble.
When those forces are on the verge of collapse and have no way out, the powerful figures of Buddhism will appear as saviors, pretending to be willing to lend a helping hand to eliminate demons and evil spirits, on the condition that they must convert to Buddhism.
This kind of approach, if put nicely, is called extending a helping hand in times of need, but if put bluntly, it is taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
As for those demonic forces, needless to say, they are secretly nurtured minions and external guardians of the Buddhist sect, in other words, they specialize in doing dirty work.
Although their reputation is not good, using this approach, the Buddhist sect has indeed gained control over many Great Worlds. Therefore, it is one of the most extensive territories and has the most followers among the Transcendent Level forces in the chaotic void.
Now, Hidden Mist Great World obviously meets the conditions for the development of a Buddhist territory. I wonder if there will be any powerful Buddhist cultivators taking action.
Qin Muling frowned and said, "If that's the case, from the perspective of our Extreme Void Starry Sky, we must quickly destroy this Great World."
Yu Xingning did not object to this and said, "That's entirely possible. After all, the trajectory of this world's operation will approach the chaotic void near Extreme Void Starry Sky in more than twenty years. At that time, the probability of us being discovered by external forces will inevitably increase significantly."
To quickly destroy everything in Hidden Mist Great World and turn it into ruins and relics, so that external forces will no longer be interested in it, is the only way to ensure the safety of Extreme Void Starry Sky.
"In that case, Junior Brother, you should consider going there again and act accordingly," Emperor Tong Ying, dressed in bright yellow robes and exuding an extraordinary aura, asked.
Qin Muling said, "Then let's go together! After dealing with this matter, we can go on a journey."
Now the attention of the high-level figures in Hidden Mist Great World has been drawn to those external forces. If Qin Muling were to attack the world origin again, it is unlikely that he would encounter such a strong counterattack as last time.
Mu Yinghua looked at him and cautiously said, "Master thinks that we still shouldn't act directly like this. There are probably many hidden big shots in that place now. If you go there again, aren't you walking into the lion's den?"
"..." Qin Muling's expression froze for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master's words are not wrong. It's indeed too risky to do that."
At this time, many top experts have indeed gathered around Hidden Mist Great World. They are not interested in the resources and population of this world, but only in the trace of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus.
So if Qin Muling dares to go there, even if his own talent and Divine Ability are outstanding, he cannot guarantee that there will be no slightest mistake.
"Sister, what do you think is the proper way to handle this?" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao asked with a smile.
Mu Yinghua smiled and said, "I am already at the quasi-Saint level now, and with the help of Qin Yulan, it should be no problem to continue fine-tuning the trajectory of Extreme Void Starry Sky and further avoid Hidden Mist Great World. This way, we can have the best of both worlds."
Qin Yulan nodded gently and said, "It's easy. As long as it is handled properly, we can ensure that Extreme Void Starry Sky will not encounter any other Great Worlds in the next hundred years."
As an incarnation of the will of the Heavenly Dao, she does have such authority. As long as she cooperates with Mu Yinghua and Qin Muling, further fine-tuning the trajectory of Extreme Void Starry Sky is not difficult.
"That's good then."
Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief, and the other senior sisters also felt relieved. Extreme Void Starry Sky is in desperate need of a peaceful development period.
...
Hidden Mist Great World.
In the depths of the underground, in the void near the world origin ocean, dozens of vague and illusory figures appeared at some unknown time. Each of them exuded a terrifying aura.
"Is this the place where the legendary Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus appeared?"
A deep and majestic voice asked slowly.
"Yes, it is."
The elder from the Heavenly Destiny Temple replied tremblingly. Faced with these Transcendent Level powerhouses from the depths of the chaotic void, he dared not hide anything.
"Then, what exactly happened that day? Tell us in detail, not a single word missing!"
Another cold and fierce voice sounded, with a chilling murderous intent.
The elder did not dare to delay and immediately recounted the past experiences, as it was not the first time. In these past days, visitors from the depths of the chaotic void had come one after another, each one a prominent figure who could easily destroy the Heavenly Destiny Temple. Therefore, the reason for Qin Muling's appearance here, the process of his confrontation with the cultivators of this world, and even the insignificant details had been thoroughly analyzed by these powerful individuals, who provided logical analysis and judgments.
After a while, when the elder finished speaking, these powerful individuals took turns to ask questions. Sometimes, the same question would be asked in different ways, just to confirm if the old man was lying.
After three hours of repeated questioning, the leader of the group finally spoke, "Alright, that's enough! Considering your honesty, I can keep those demons and monsters outside away from the Hidden Mist Great World. The rest is up to you and your abilities."
"Yes, thank you, Your Excellency!"
The elder breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully knelt down.
Similar promises had been mentioned by more than one powerful individual, so the Hidden Mist Great World had become much quieter recently. The number of demons and monsters that were originally ravaging this world had greatly decreased, and now they were nowhere to be seen.
As long as there were no external disturbances, there was hope for the Hidden Mist Great World to recover, although it would take some time.
After the elder left, these powerful individuals set up dozens of layers of barriers and restrictions around them, and then began to discuss:
"...Fellow Daoists, what do you think of this matter?"
"There is an eighty percent chance that it's true! Compared to the unrealistic rumors that couldn't withstand scrutiny in the past, the evidence this time is too obvious!"
"Yes, I agree with Senior Yuwen's point of view. Such a mysterious and unpredictable Divine Ability, and that unheard-of terrifying formation, all indicate that this matter is closely related to the legendary supreme divine object."
"So, there is basically no doubt about this matter. The Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus has indeed appeared, and it has even taken human form, walking in the world as a young human! For us cultivators who have been seeking the path to transcendence from the Primordial Origin, this is truly an unparalleled opportunity!"
"It deliberately came here to plunder the world's origin. This means what?"
"It means that it has not reached maturity yet, its cultivation and strength are lacking, and it is still some distance away from the legendary supreme Primordial Origin Saint Realm!"
"That makes sense, so we should have a good chance of subduing it, as long as we can find it as soon as possible..."
The many powerful individuals exchanged their thoughts eagerly, all showing a determined attitude towards the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus.
Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice sounded, "I think it is very likely that someone has already taken the lead!"
"Huh? What do you mean, Senior Xue?"
"It's simple. Since there are so many stunning female cultivators around it, do you believe that they have no relationship with it?"
"Well... that's true! Can such a supreme divine object also have human desires? It feels too unbelievable..."
"There's nothing hard to understand. Since it is currently in the form of a young human, it's not surprising that it has such needs. And this is a rare opportunity for us. We can take advantage of this and prepare carefully..."
"Sister Xue is right. If this approach can make it more likely for us to gain its recognition and closeness, then we should indeed discuss it carefully."
...
After adjusting the trajectory of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, it didn't take much time for Qin Muling to set off again with his senior sisters.
Dragon Spring Great World, the headquarters of the Meng Clan.
At this moment, wearing a magnificent red embroidered phoenix-patterned palace dress, the graceful and plump Meng Xuehuan was in her own chamber, refining a set of dazzling golden purple cloud-patterned brocade robe. Meng Ziqing and Meng Xuan, mother and daughter, were helping on the side, their eyes filled with concentration.
Although Qin Muling lacked nothing in terms of resources, in the eyes of Meng Xuehuan's three daughters, they still wanted to personally prepare some clothing and supplies for him. The value of the items was secondary; the key was that this gesture of goodwill must not be lacking.
After a long time, Meng Xuehuan finally finished her work and carefully examined her creation, a satisfied expression appearing in her beautiful eyes.
With her status, besides items for personal use, she had never personally crafted any Law Treasure items for others, except for Qin Muling, who was the only exception.
"...Considering the time, should he be coming soon?"
Meng Xuehuan gently stroked the smooth fabric, a hint of melancholy and resentment appearing on her beautiful face. Even though they had an intimate relationship, they still had to wait over a year to see each other.
Fortunately, they had the time acceleration array. Qin Muling would accompany them in cultivation for a month, equivalent to the passage of time outside multiplied by ten thousand. It didn't seem so difficult to endure.
"I wonder if we will have good news this time..."
Meng Ziqing, with her cloud-like hairpin and rosy complexion, pursed her cherry lips and gently touched her still flat abdomen, speaking softly.
The medicinal formulas stored in the Meng Clan's secret treasury, as well as the expensive secret formulas obtained from outside, had all been used by the three women. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side. Despite spending a considerable amount of time with Qin Muling, there had been no progress.
Meng Xuehuan's gaze flickered as she glanced at her, slightly reproachful. "Although we are all anxious, there's no need to force it, right? As long as we capture his heart, there will always be opportunities."
Meng Ziqing let out a soft sigh. Although what she said was true, who could resist being impatient? After all, Qin Muling held an irreplaceable position in their hearts. There was nothing that could replace him.
At this moment, Meng Xuan, with her stunning beauty, felt something and her gentle voice carried an undisguised surprise. "He has arrived. Let's go out and greet him!"
Meng Xuehuan's expression changed slightly. Her plump and graceful figure suddenly rose, causing a wave to surge in her chest. She embraced Meng Ziqing and disappeared into the chamber.
Meng Xuan, left behind, helplessly pursed her lips. It was always like this, as if she was the unnecessary one?
But she didn't say anything. After all, she had to handle this matter herself and couldn't rely on others.
Meng Xuan hurriedly got up and used a secret technique to notify the stunning women who were cultivating in secret, urging them to quickly bathe, change clothes, and prepare for serving.
After a while, Meng Xuehuan and the two excitedly linked arms with Qin Muling and walked in.
At this time, numerous stunning women from the Meng Clan had already gathered, filling the hall with their hairpins, dresses, and fragrant bodies.
The following enchanting scenes are not worth mentioning to outsiders...
...
In the depths of the luxurious embroidered curtains, on the spacious beautiful jade bed, Meng Xuehuan gently stretched her plump and enchanting body, letting out a satisfied sigh from her cherry lips. Then, she turned around and hugged the beautiful young man beside her, still wanting more.
"...How are those families doing?"
Qin Muling gently caressed her smooth and tender skin, asking in a gentle tone.
"What else can they do? They're getting worse day by day!"
Meng Xuehuan chuckled softly. Within two months, a batch of high-ranking figures had perished, causing a panic effect that even the most powerful forces couldn't withstand.
By now, almost all the civil and military officials of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty had been replaced twice, and the third batch was also on the verge of death. As a result, the entire court was in a state of panic and unable to focus on anything. Emperor Su Mingqian's hair had turned white, and all he could do was sigh helplessly.
As for the Qi Clan, Li Clan, and Yuan Clan, their situation was even worse. Some of the high-ranking members who had not yet been affected had already packed up and secretly fled from the Dragon Spring Great World with their families.
In their eyes, as long as they avoided this troubled place, perhaps they could escape the mysterious curse?
At this moment, Meng Xuan, with her lowered head, was carefully massaging his legs, her waterfall-like long hair cascading behind her.
Meng Ziqing, with her snake-like jade arms wrapped around Qin Muling, whispered softly, "Junior Brother, how do you think we should deal with those who have already escaped?"
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "Let's spare them for now. As long as they don't come back, they can live out the rest of their lives in peace."
Once they left the Dragon Spring Great World, they became rootless drifters and would no longer have any influence on the Meng Clan.
