Chapter 430: An Unexpected Reunion
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace main hall.
With the ceasefire agreement reached between the Absolute Beginning Dao Palace and the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, the high-level officials of the Monster Emperor Kingdom also changed their attitude and sent an envoy to discuss the ceasefire.
This time, Dragon Qi Emperor did not mention the request to borrow Qin Muling's power, but instead promised generous compensation, hoping to reach a peaceful agreement with the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and Zi Shi Yun responded positively to this.
Of course, Ten-tailed Celestial Fox did not contribute anything. All the compensation given to the Female Cultivators Union Alliance came from the Beast King powerhouses and their factions that were eliminated.
However, this had nothing to do with the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. After receiving the compensation, both sides ceased hostilities and there were no more attacks or disturbances.
In the following period of time, the Extreme Void Starry Sky enjoyed a rare period of peace, at least within the human cultivation world, with no major conflicts occurring.
Although there were still many powerful beings who coveted Qin Muling in secret, it was just wishful thinking. No one would act recklessly without enough certainty.
As a result, Qin Muling's days became much more relaxed. With his cultivation at the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, he was not afraid of being oppressed by his senior and junior sisters. Even when facing the likes of Zi Shi Yun, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, Jing Fan Tian Nü, Mu Yinghua, and other powerful beings, they could only fight to a draw with Qin Muling.
Finally, Qin Muling completely turned the tables and every battle in the palace ended with him victorious, causing his senior and junior sisters to beg for mercy.
But the result was a win-win situation. Qin Muling benefited greatly, and the cultivation realms of his senior and junior sisters advanced rapidly. Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Principal Golden Immortal, and even Quasi-Saint Emperor level powerhouses emerged one after another.
In places beyond the sight of the outside world, the strength of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance was growing at an astonishing rate. Whether the Transcendent Level powers liked it or not, this was an irreversible trend.
As time passed, various powers had already speculated to some extent about the strategic significance of Qin Muling to the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, and his role was irreplaceable.
But knowing was one thing, and there was nothing these powers could do.
There were powerful beings who privately proposed the formation of an unprecedented alliance of Transcendent Level powers, using all their resources to wage war against or pressure the Female Cultivators Union Alliance to hand over Qin Muling.
As long as this plan succeeded, all the powerful beings could share in the benefits of Qin Muling, without worrying about the consequences of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance becoming too dominant.
However, while the idea was beautiful, the reality was that there were too many complex interests involved, which couldn't be resolved in just a few words.
Zi Shi Yun and Jing Fan Tian Nü had no doubt that this alliance of Transcendent Level powers targeting them would eventually be formed, but the timing was uncertain.
The more powers and factions involved, the more complicated the situation became, and the cohesion of the alliance would be weaker. Especially since many of the Daoist powers had been hostile to each other in the past, it was extremely difficult for them to let go of their grudges overnight and unite for a common goal. The difficulty was simply too exaggerated.
Divine Phoenix Palace and Buddha Domain Pure Land would not sit idly by either. They would definitely use all their connections and influence to stir up trouble and delay the formation of this alliance of Transcendent Level powers.
In the Cave Mansion of the Supreme Sect, Qin Muling is discussing various sect affairs with her senior sisters, handling various sect matters.
Until now, Qin Muling has finally taken on the responsibility of being the Female Cultivators Union Alliance Saint Child. In the past, these matters were handled by the Master and her senior sisters.
As for herself...basically, she either cultivates with her senior sisters or is on her way to cultivate with them. She doesn't have to worry about anything, which is really absurd. Although this is beneficial for both herself and her senior sisters.
"...Well, in the future, let's change the location of the friendly sects' normal commercial trade with the sect to the border of the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain. Let's create a larger void floating land there as a trade hub."
Wearing a purple robe with starlight and cloud patterns, a jade crown on her head, and a mysterious and profound temperament, Qin Muling gently closed the jade slip in her hand and said to Xue Bingxuan, who was sitting below her.
Xue Bingxuan, dignified and elegant, pondered for a moment and said, "This method should work. I'll inform the Sect Master and arrange for the elders to handle it!"
She understood her junior brother's thoughts. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's main altar has become increasingly large and prominent, and many secrets are no longer suitable to be exposed to outsiders.
The teams of the friendly forces' Multi-Storied Heavenly Boats that come to the sect's main altar for trade each time are particularly large in number and variety. There may be spies planted by certain hostile forces among the cultivators in the fleet.
The current Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace already has enough confidence and all the necessary conditions, so there is no need to take such risks anymore.
Qin Muling nodded and continued, "Next, I may have to go out and work again, purifying and transforming those void floating lands, and incidentally, I can also eliminate some descendants of the Demon Race. It doesn't matter if you come with me or not."
Qi Yalan, dressed in a black Daoist robe, frowned and said, "You can do whatever you want, but don't think about leaving us behind. If you're going out, we'll go together!"
"That's right, little junior brother, although you are already a Quasi-Saint Emperor, you still need your protectors by your side!"
Luo Huan, wearing a green palace dress, smiled like a gentle and beautiful jade.
They are all senior empresses who have severed their Virtuous Thought Incarnations. Among the old Transcendent Level forces in the Upper Realm, they are all qualified to serve as core elders, protecting Qin Muling appropriately.
"Alright, let's go together then!"
Qin Muling couldn't be bothered to argue with them. Whether it's the Master or Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, or even the Tranquil Brahman Heavenly Lady, they would never agree to her leaving the sect alone.
The senior sisters' displeasure turned into joy. Princess Long Yi, wearing a deep purple palace dress and exuding a mysterious and enchanting aura, looked through the jade slip in her hand and said softly,
"Little junior brother, which Star Domain do you plan to start with? We have already completed the integration of the void floating lands in the Integrated Union, and the number has exceeded three thousand."
Within the influence of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace now, there are countless high-level female immortals active in all the star clusters, Star Domains, and even Immortal Domains. Their task is to transport those fragmented and lifeless land masses to suitable locations and then integrate them into larger land masses in the Integrated Union.
For cultivators above the Golden Immortal realm, this project is not very difficult. The most challenging part is transforming these lifeless land masses into suitable human habitats and Grotto-Heavens that cultivators need.
This matter naturally falls to Qin Muling to complete. With his current abilities, he can transform a desolate void land with a radius of over a hundred million miles into an Apex Level Grotto-Heaven within two hours at most.
Even according to the highest standards of treatment from the Transcendent Level forces in the Upper Realm, such a large piece of land is enough to support billions of mortals. It can also provide for thousands of core disciples, hundreds of times more inner disciples, as well as the cultivation needs of outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples.
When a sufficient number of purified and transformed land masses are achieved, it not only ensures the sect's effective control over the territories under its jurisdiction, but also continuously strengthens the sect's heritage and development potential. Of course, the most important benefit is that Qin Muling himself can gain more heavenly merits.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and continued, "However, the scale of the sect's main altar still needs to be further expanded, so the operation of transporting land resources from the Illusory Mist Secret Realm cannot be stopped. Hmm, you can accompany me as well."
Yu Lingzhou, with her pure and innocent appearance and a sinful figure, couldn't help but say, "This is great! My Three Corpses Incarnation is showing signs of forming. As long as you, Junior Brother, are willing to help, it shouldn't take too long to succeed, right?"
Qin Muling naturally didn't refuse. He has already given half of his Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme to his master, Mu Yinghua, and the rest is enough to satisfy the needs of his senior sisters. However, according to the estimation of the Purple Poetic Rhyme, the chief palace master, it should take until after the birth of his first daughter in the Unified Harmony of the two realms.
As each matter was handled properly, half a day quietly passed.
Qin Muling tidied up a bit and then took his senior sisters with him, driving the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, and left the sect's main altar. Of course, the incarnations of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and Jing Fan Tian Nü also followed for protection.
With Qin Muling himself possessing multiple Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, even if several powerful experts at the Unified Harmony of the three corpses joined forces to ambush him, although he couldn't win, he could ensure that he had a chance to escape.
In the western region of the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, in the White Bird Star Domain.
Desolate and lifeless, the void land was overgrown with poisonous barriers. Thick black clouds billowed and covered the sky, and violent and chaotic storm vortexes could be seen everywhere, but there was not a trace of life.
This desolate floating land with a radius of nearly three hundred million miles has been abandoned for countless thousands of years. Deep within the ground, it used to be the dormant nest of the descendants of the Demon Race, so the pollution of demonic energy was particularly severe, and even low and middle-level cultivators dared not approach it easily.
After the Quasi-Saint Emperors of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance cleared out the Demon Race here, they didn't pay much attention to it anymore due to the high cost of environmental transformation and purification, leaving it idle.
However, this floating land is in a relatively important location, close to a main route, and there are several nearby stars shining brightly. Once it is transformed, it can be developed into an important commercial and trade hub.
At this moment, tens of thousands of high-level female cultivators were already waiting at the edge of the floating land. With a dazzling dark golden light flashing, Qin Muling and his senior sisters quietly appeared in the central area of the floating land.
"...The so-called human hell is nothing more than this."
White Qingyu, with a radiant and heroic look in her eyes, looked around and sighed slightly.
Little Phoenix, Feng Xia, smiled brightly, "It won't be like this soon! Junior Brother will soon be able to change everything here."
Qin Muling didn't say much. His innate divine ability quietly activated, and a chaotic and clear brilliance, light as water and filled with intense purple aura, surged out from within him. It was as if the gate to a fairyland had been opened, and in an instant, it spread out to millions of miles around.
With his standing position as the center, the region within a radius of two million miles instantly became turbulent. As the chaotic and clear brilliance penetrated into the deep layers of the earth, all kinds of negative energy, black mist, and poisonous barriers were easily purified, as if snow melting in boiling water.
Dry and compacted soil like stone, ink-black rivers and lakes, lifeless mountains and valleys, desolate deserts and wastelands—all of them undergo a qualitative change under the erosion of chaotic brilliance.
When the chaotic brilliance disappears, a new world emerges. The black soil becomes fertile, oozing with oil-like richness. Threads of inspiration are born within it, gradually growing stronger. The surface of stubborn rocks glimmers with the luster of beautiful jade. Signs of life appear in the clear rivers and lakes, and the contaminated spiritual veins in the layers have completely returned to normal.
Qin Muling picked up a handful of soil and examined it for a moment, nodding slightly. With proper management, the environment here will surpass Illusory Mist Secret Realm and the Upper Realm without any problems.
Without lingering too long, he temporarily separated the layers with a great divine ability and went deep into the layers for fifty thousand miles. He continued to use his innate divine ability until the violent and chaotic energy field became strong again, then repeated the process.
He did this three times until the layers, which were over a hundred and fifty thousand miles thick, returned to normal. Qin Muling stopped, as this level of transformation was enough to ensure the well-being and prosperity of billions of living beings on the floating land surface. As for the deeper layers, they could be ignored for now and dealt with in the future when his cultivation realm advanced further.
It took a day to completely transform this continent with a radius of nearly three hundred million miles. Qin Muling wasted no time and, with his senior sisters, rode the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore through space, heading to the next floating land.
At the same time, deep within the Genesis Star Palace's dojo.
Inside the hall, near the vast Thousand Leaves Merit Azure Lotus Pond, a lofty and remote Dao Rhyme permeated the air, accompanied by magnificent splendor and radiant brilliance, but not a single figure could be seen.
After several years, the mysterious paper puppet appeared once again.
It took stiff steps and slowly approached the edge of the pond. Just as it was about to put down the jade box in its hand, its movement suddenly froze.
On the smooth and delicate jade floor, a small jade talisman lay quietly, emitting a faint and gentle light. The familiar aura quickly revived within it.
The paper puppet took a step back, hesitating whether to take self-destructive action or not. A hint of ethereal mist rose from the jade talisman, condensing into a hazy and illusory beautiful figure.
"Long time no see..."
A grand, elusive, and enchanting voice resonated, as if it were the resonance of the laws of the Great Dao.
Although it was only a projection of the Genesis Star Palace's master's divine consciousness, it should be able to deliver a fatal blow when necessary. Of course, the paper puppet was also controlled by Qin Muling's divine consciousness, so there was no need to be too afraid.
"...Unfortunately, I couldn't protect you when you transformed into a human. Instead, you almost fell into the hands of others. But that was not my intention..."
"I'm sure you still blame me for not being able to protect you back then, right?"
"These years have passed, and it seems that your situation is not bad. Moreover, you haven't forgotten about the senior sisters of the Genesis Star Palace. So, when do you plan to come back? They all miss you..."
The master of the Genesis Star Palace spoke gently.
