Chapter 371 Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: Young Junior Brother, Those Who Can Do More Work!
Chapter 371: Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: "A capable disciple should take on more responsibilities!"
In the deep and secluded hall,
Xiong Tianhe coldly stared at the true form of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao in front of him, his sinister and ferocious gaze resembling an evil spirit crawling out of the Nine Nether Hell.
Originally, he was very surprised that this Needle of the Sea of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace dared to personally appear regardless of the risks. But when he thought about the Primordial Origin Sword Box in her hands, everything became clear.
Even if Dao Court used all its existing power, it would probably have to pay an unbearable price just to keep her here. It was possible that Xiong Tianhe himself would die on the spot.
Not to mention the special cards that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao might have in her hands. Even if Dao Court was willing to fight to the death, it might not be able to keep her. At most, it would only be able to severely injure her. As long as she could escape and Qin Muling took action, she would quickly be able to regain her peak.
The killing intent in his heart surged several times, but considering the foundation of Dao Court and the fate of billions of disciples, Xiong Tianhe ultimately chose to follow his heart.
"...What do you think?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, with a beautiful face and radiant appearance, smiled and said, "Haven't my conditions been generous enough? As long as you hand over the territory and people of the Xuan Nu lineage, as well as those industries, to me, we can guarantee that there will be no conflicts with Dao Court for ten thousand years!"
"Of course, you also need to restrain your disciples and prevent them from conflicting with the disciples of the Female Cultivators Union Alliance."
Emperor Xuan Yin furrowed his brows and remained silent, Emperor Wei De had an angry expression, and the other Quasi-Saint Emperors all looked at Xiong Tianhe, obviously letting this ancestor make the decision.
Xiong Tianhe smiled darkly, his tone mocking, "Fellow Daoist Qing Yao, your calculations are too shrewd. The reason you pretended to let us go is because you're afraid that we will join the Upper Realm's Tai Chu Dao Palace and reveal Qin Muling's information to them, right?"
"The Tai Chu Dao Palace has numerous powerful experts, there are several at your level, and the Tai Chu Dao Venerable is even closer to the realm of Saint Supreme with his Three Corpse Unified Harmony. If he personally takes action to take Qin Muling away from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, you won't be able to stop him, right?"
"So... do you think we should agree to your conditions? Maybe my people have already returned to the Upper Realm to report the situation!"
Since he understood Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's concerns, Xiong Tianhe suddenly became confident, feeling that he had succeeded again.
Although the advantage in strength no longer existed and he couldn't continue to resist Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, he held the key card of Qin Muling's secret. Even if he had to accept the ceasefire conditions in the end, he had to force Immortal Venerable Qing Yao to make more concessions.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao stared at him deeply and said, "I knew you would say that, but don't forget, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace also has a backer in the Upper Realm. If it really comes to the point of no return, I can take Qin Muling to Divine Phoenix Palace for help, completely foiling your plans!"
"As for your fate, as well as the fate of the billions of disciples of Dao Court, I don't need to say much, right?"
After speaking, her aura slowly rose, and a majestic and powerful Destruction Sword Intent surged but did not erupt.
Xiong Tianhe's face slightly stiffened, finally understanding that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao was not joking. Divine Phoenix Palace, as a superpower on par with Tai Chu Dao Palace, had no lack of Apex Level experts, and they were also a pure female cultivation lineage, naturally having a closer relationship with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
Moreover, if he dared to refuse now, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, who had no other choice, would definitely turn hostile on the spot and kill him directly!
Even if he managed to severely injure Immortal Venerable Qing Yao at the cost of his own demise, she would return in a few days and Dao Court would have no one to resist her.
"...Alright, I agree!"
After weighing it for a long time, Xiong Tianhe gritted his teeth and said, "But my injuries haven't healed yet, you have to let Qin Muling help me recover!"
"That's impossible. Qin Muling will not leave the main altar of the sect," Immortal Venerable Qing Yao replied.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao firmly refused: "At most, I will give you a batch of Heavenly Medicine resources for healing and repairing the soul. After that, our two families will coexist peacefully and not engage in any disputes."
"Is that so? Alright then!"
Knowing that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would not compromise on this fundamental issue, You Xiong Tianhe no longer insisted.
Next, the two sides formally drafted a ceasefire agreement, each making a solemn oath. For the next ten thousand years, they would not initiate any hostilities, not reveal Qin Muling's secrets to outsiders, and not secretly support or instigate other forces against each other.
Finally, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao took out a large-capacity spatial Law Weapon and threw it to You Xiong Tianhe. Inside were a batch of ready-made Heavenly Medicine resources.
After examining it, You Xiong Tianhe nodded in satisfaction. Although Heavenly Medicine was not particularly scarce in the Upper Realm, the quantity and quality of this batch of Heavenly Medicine still exceeded his expectations.
"In the future, you Dao Court should take care of yourselves! I bid you farewell!"
After Immortal Venerable Qing Yao finished speaking, her figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot, instantly fleeing billions of trillions of miles away, leaving the Full Net Immortal Domain.
"Ancestor, do we really have to..." Emperor Xuan Yin asked anxiously. The recent war had caused heavy losses to Dao Court, and now it was ending in this way, leaving him at a loss for words.
You Xiong Tianhe touched the spatial Law Weapon and slowly said, "Why not? At least we don't have to immediately sell ourselves and join the Tai Chu Dao Palace. As long as we lie low and recuperate, waiting for the right opportunity, there may still be a chance for us to obtain the luck of the Extreme Void Starry Sky in the future."
He was ultimately the strongest ancestor in Dao Court. Unless he had no other choice, how could he willingly hand over the vast foundation he had painstakingly built over millions of years?
Although he was unwilling to admit it, the ceasefire agreement proposed by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao was indeed the most necessary condition for Dao Court at the moment. In this critical moment of the impending calamity and the imminent unification of the two realms, a lot could happen in ten thousand years.
Moreover, there was still a group of Quasi-Saint Emperors in the Upper Realm's Dao Court. It was barely enough to defend themselves, and as long as they were not targeted by the Female Cultivators Union Alliance, You Xiong Tianhe believed that the future of Dao Court still held great potential.
In the past, the Upper Realm's Dao Court had faced even more difficult situations in history, and they had ultimately overcome them.
"Now that the ancestor has made a decision, the junior will definitely follow it!"
Emperor Xuan Yin said sincerely.
...
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, main hall.
In the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master, Mu Yinghua and the other high-ranking members learned about the contents of the ceasefire agreement and were not surprised.
If it weren't for giving Qin Muling time to grow safely, and also for Immortal Venerable Qing Yao to have more time for herself, the Female Cultivators Union Alliance could have easily wiped out Dao Court, and there would be no need to temporarily stabilize them like this.
Handling it this way would not have any negative impact on the Female Cultivators Union Alliance. It simply allowed them to live a little longer, but in the end, they would still meet their demise.
"Will they keep their promise?" Qin Muling still had some doubts. He didn't want to one day have the ancestor from the Tai Chu Dao Palace come with a large group of powerful experts to demand him.
"For their own interests, there is still a high possibility of complying with the ceasefire agreement. Moreover, the cost of violating the oath is too great, and he cannot afford it now."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao explained with a smile. As the founder of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, he had seen all kinds of dangerous opponents throughout his long journey on the path, so it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake in this matter.
"That's good."
Qin Muling nodded, but he couldn't help but think about his Luck Dissipation and Luck Plunder abilities, which were still silently taking effect. However, this was obviously not within the scope of the oath, because they had already fallen victim to it before.
So even if Xiong Tianhe temporarily recovered from his injuries, within a year or so, he would still experience the dissipation of luck and be plagued by calamities, ultimately leading to his death. And after the death of the five senior Quasi-Saint Emperors, Dao Court would probably become a piece of fat in the eyes of other hostile forces. There was no need to elaborate on the consequences.
"Alright, now that everything is done,"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao embraced Qin Muling and his clear and beautiful eyes curved like a crescent moon. "It's time to accompany Senior Sister in cultivation. It will still be ten days, and then you can heal them from Transcending Tribulation!"
"..."
Mu Yinghua, with her high bun and dignified beauty, pursed her lips slightly. Her watery eyes glanced at her direct disciple and said softly, "That's fine then. I will arrange the batches for the disciples. Those with serious injuries cannot be delayed for too long."
Although Qin Muling knew that it was currently impossible for him to cultivate with Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, playing such a game of pushing the boundaries might eventually lead to a situation where neither side could control themselves and things would escalate. The huge gap in cultivation level might result in Qin Muling being squeezed dry on the spot, not even leaving behind bone fragments. It was not impossible.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Muling gently broke free from Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's jade arm and said, "Why don't we first help the Senior Sisters from the Upper Realm recover from their injuries? We can talk about cultivation after these matters are taken care of."
"Alright, let's go with that."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao didn't insist either. After all, there was still plenty of time. He would eventually become the person who Qin Muling would call "Senior Brother," so there was no need to rush.
A moment later, inside the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore.
The first batch of three thousand severely injured female immortals arrived as scheduled and entered Qin Muling's sleeping palace, and the time acceleration array was activated accordingly.
This time, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao brought more than a hundred thousand female immortals, half of whom were severely injured Taiyi and Great Principle-level powerhouses, including twenty-six Quasi-Saint Emperors.
Qin Muling skillfully went about his work, healing them at a rate of one batch every two days. In just over a month, they were all fully recovered.
Then, he helped tens of thousands of peak Taiyi Golden Immortals overcome the Great Principle Tribulation. With a batch of five thousand people, it took a little over two months to complete them all.
For the sake of secrecy, all these female immortals had to stay and guard the place temporarily, and they would not return to the Upper Realm for the time being. This meant that the high-end combat power of the Extreme Void Starry Sky Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had been greatly enhanced.
Inside the sleeping palace.
On the quiet and luxurious jade bed, after the wild storm, Qin Muling lazily lay there, his head resting on the plump, soft, and elastic body of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. He didn't want to move at all. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, who was naked and enchanting, was lying beside him, and her three avatars were also entwined with him like octopuses.
"...Little Junior Brother, what are you thinking?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, with her long flowing hair, squinted her beautiful eyes. Her face was flushed, and her voluptuous and slender legs stretched out slowly. With a husky voice, she spoke, sounding like a well-fed cat.
"So many senior sisters have come to Extreme Void Starry Sky. Will the power of the upper realm sects become empty?" Qin Muling asked, opening his eyes and gently holding the slender jade hand of the enchanting mature woman who had caused trouble for him.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's expression became serious for a moment as she said, "Currently, there is no such problem. After all, your Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme has also restored dozens of Quasi-Saint Emperors. With so many Heavenly Medicine resources, tens of thousands of disciples and elders have been healed and restored. With them, the power of the upper realm sects has increased significantly compared to before."
As long as they bring another batch of Heavenly Medicine resources next time, they can completely revive more female immortals. By doing this a few more times, all the sleeping elders in the sect's secret realm can be fully restored.
"Okay, that's good," Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the young girl in the green dress who was massaging his legs raised her head and brushed her ink-black long hair with her jade hand. She smiled and said, "This time, you should give more Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme to the senior sisters. It's very effective for healing, temporarily enhancing cultivation, and increasing combat power! It's even better than those so-called Primordial Great Dao Golden Pills!"
"Are you saying that you haven't squeezed me hard enough?" Qin Muling said somewhat speechlessly. Even though he had amazing recovery abilities, when facing Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, a peerless powerhouse, he felt like he had been squeezed dry!
The graceful and virtuous beauty behind him smiled and said, "Junior brother, stop pretending! We know how capable you are. It's not a problem to rest for a while. It won't have any negative impact on you at all!"
After spending so much time together, they naturally understood Qin Muling's strengths. They knew that this level of cultivation would not have any negative effects on him. On the contrary, it was a mutually beneficial move, so they wouldn't hold back anymore.
Anyway, Qin Muling didn't resist that kind of ecstatic and heavenly experience. Of course, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao felt the same way. They served each other, satisfying their own desires.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment and asked, "When all the female immortals in the upper realm sects have fully recovered, and all the disciples who need to transcend their tribulations have successfully transcended, how much will the overall strength of the sect increase? How far are we from the threshold of those superpowers?"
This was the question Qin Muling cared about the most. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace wanted to stand tall in this unprecedented upheaval, and the only thing they could rely on was their own strength, which needed to be strong enough.
If Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace could develop and grow quickly, becoming one of the new superpowers alongside Divine Phoenix Palace, Pure Land of Buddhism, Demon Emperor's Kingdom, and Primordial Dao Palace, then they would naturally have the capital to face any challenges.
The enchanting and mature woman with her cold and beautiful body entwined with him again, lowered her head, and gently bit his earlobe with her glossy and charming lips, exhaling a fragrant breath.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao pondered and said, "This standard is both complex and simple. As long as my cultivation realm can advance further and be on par with those top experts, it can be considered as meeting the most crucial standard. As for the rest, as long as you are here, it won't be too troublesome!"
The number of Innate Spiritual Treasures, the lineup of Quasi-Saint Emperors, the quantity of Great Principal Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, the vastness of their territories, the abundance of various resources, and the size of their mortal population... These conditions are important, but they can be achieved one by one with the accumulation of time.
The most crucial factor is to see at what level the strongest cultivator in the sect is. If they have the supreme Divine Ability like the owner of Genesis Star Palace, even if they are alone and penniless, there will be many powerful forces willing to join them sincerely. In a short time, they will be able to integrate and develop into a new superpower.
"So, this matter still depends on your help, junior brother!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with a charming smile, once again seizing his handle. "For the great cause of the sect, you should work harder and get closer to us senior sisters!"
"..."
