Qing Muling had the thought but ultimately didn’t dare to voice it.

As a Quasi Holy Emperor, his status, authority, and prestige in the Great Void were far beyond what ordinary cultivators could aspire to. Others wouldn’t even dare to glance at him without permission, as it would be a great offense, and few could bear the consequences.

Qing Muling considered himself bold, but he wasn’t foolish. He wouldn’t engage in reckless behavior.

If Tongying Emperor found out about Qing Muling’s thoughts, even if she valued the young man, she would likely hang him up and give him a severe beating, perhaps even with Qingchan Fairy joining in for a memorable double beating.

“Muling?”

Xinyu Emperor called softly, looking somewhat surprised at the dazed young man.

“Uh…”

Qing Muling suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing he had been staring at Tongying Emperor for quite some time, causing the surrounding women to look at him strangely.

Qingchan Fairy blinked her eyes, her watery pupils filled with confusion as she glanced at him and then at her master, vaguely understanding something, causing her aura to become chaotic for a moment.

This guy… even calling him audacious would be an understatement!

For a moment, Qingchan Fairy almost believed the previous evaluations of Qing Muling by Xuebing Xuan and the others. They hadn’t wronged him at all; in fact, they had been quite reserved in their descriptions.

“Ahem!”

For the first time, Qing Muling lost his composure in front of women. He coughed a few times to cover it up and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go with what the Emperor said. Senior Sister Qingchan can enter the Misty Illusion Secret Realm with me. As for the other matters, Master and the Emperor will explain them to you.”

Mu Yinghua gave him a slightly annoyed glance. She had guessed correctly earlier; this guy was indeed a shameless scoundrel who was obsessed with women! Not only did he dare to have designs on her, but even on the Quasi Holy Emperor…

Tongying Emperor, however, showed no displeasure. She tilted her head slightly, examining the handsome young man before her, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

“Alright then, it’s settled. Time is of the essence. You should return to the secret realm with your senior sisters. The remaining matters will be arranged by me and the Sect Master.”

Qing Muling nodded. Once Yu Lingzhou and Xuebing Xuan had arrived, he manifested the phantom of the Blue Lotus leaf, allowing them to enter his internal space before disappearing from the spot.

After he left, Tongying Emperor narrowed her eyes thoughtfully and said, “Indeed, he has the temperament of a young human, full of strong emotions and desires. If my sisters hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t have imagined he was the Harmony Spirit Seed in human form.”

A stunningly beautiful woman has an undeniable allure for young men. However, to captivate the legendary Harmony Spirit Seed was something Tongying Emperor didn’t speak of, but she felt an unprecedented sense of achievement.

“He’s just a lecherous scoundrel!”

Mu Yinghua sighed with a hint of helplessness. “I must have been out of my mind to bring him back to the sect. Who knows how many disciples he’ll harm in the future. The reputation of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will be ruined!”

“Oh, come on!”

Qinghuan Emperor rolled her eyes. “You speak as if you’ve suffered greatly. If you dislike him so much, why not let me take this troublemaker back to the Dao Court? Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will be peaceful, just as you wish.”

“Maybe in the next era!”

Xinyu Emperor snorted. “He’s the future leader of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. No one can take him! Stop trying.”

The three Emperors bantered for a while before discussing serious matters.

“When we return, I’ll allocate more personnel and resources.”

Tongying Emperor pondered. “As for confidentiality, you don’t need to worry. Our Goddess Sect has a unique Innate Spirit Treasure that can detect any level of spies. No infiltrator can escape its scrutiny.”

“That’s reassuring.”

Mu Yinghua nodded. She had heard of the Goddess Sect’s treasure before, though she didn’t know the specifics. However, the sect had almost never had spies in its millions of years of history, clearly due to this treasure.

“However, the Misty Illusion Secret Realm is still open, and moving resources is crucial. Muling might not be able to help the Goddess Sect’s cultivators cross tribulations on a large scale. But he can still heal the high-level elders if they are brought into the secret realm.” Mu Yinghua said.

Qing Muling was now at the Ascending to Immortality realm, and his divine abilities for healing and recovery were exceptional. Even Daluo-level female cultivators could be easily healed in batches.

Tongying Emperor nodded. “That’s fine. However, some female cultivators are nearing the end of their lifespans and can’t wait any longer. We hope Muling can prioritize helping them cross tribulations to extend their lives. The resource compensation is negotiable.”

“As for moving resources from the secret realm, I can also allocate some forces from the sect to assist. Let’s finalize the details now.”

In the Goddess Sect’s Hidden Cave Mystical Realm, many Supreme Elders were in slumber due to injuries. If Qing Muling could help them recover, the sect’s overall strength would increase several times over!

For such a prospect, Tongying Emperor felt it was worth the risk to protect Qing Muling. Such an opportunity wouldn’t have been possible in the past.

“However…”

Tongying Emperor continued, “Our sect has sent thousands of disciples into the Misty Illusion Secret Realm to seek opportunities. When I return, I’ll find a way to notify them to exit quickly. We can’t let them sacrifice in vain. At most, we’ll leave a few hundred disciples in safe areas to cover our tracks.”

Since Qing Muling could continuously bring back resources from the secret realm, there was no need to send disciples in to take risks. The Heavenly Human Clan had always harbored ill intentions. Previously, there was no choice, but now there was no need to accommodate them.

Mu Yinghua furrowed her brows and hesitated before saying, “We already have three Quasi Holy Emperors in our camp. In the future… there shouldn’t be any new forces joining midway, right?”

Qinghuan Emperor thought for a moment and nodded silently. “Indeed, it’s not suitable to add more people. Even past close allies, if we reluctantly accept them, we can’t give them the same treatment. They can only be treated as subordinate forces. Otherwise, the situation will become uncontrollable!”

Three peak Quasi Holy Emperors were already a significant force in the Great Void, enough to influence the entire temporal world’s direction.

With Qing Muling as the link, each passing day would see the sects behind the three Emperors grow stronger, eventually surpassing all other Dao Lineages. Though it would take time.

“What about Lu Hua Palace and Qingqiu Hall?”

Mu Yinghua asked helplessly. “If they come to us, should we treat them the same way? We’ve had close relationships for tens of thousands of years. If we’re too harsh, it might hurt their feelings.”

Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, Goddess Sect, Lu Hua Palace, and Qingqiu Hall were recognized as the four Supreme Dao Lineages of female cultivators in the Great Void. Qinghuan Emperor’s Dao Court was also similar.

Other female cultivator sects and families, as well as divine and immortal dynasties, existed, but their strength was generally not enough to reach the Supreme Dao Lineage level.

As for Huaqing Divine Palace, due to its overly indulgent and decadent practices, it was considered a Supreme Dao Lineage in name only, equivalent to a brothel in the Great Void’s cultivation world, not recognized by other female cultivator sects.

It was particularly challenging for female cultivator sects to rise to prominence, and even more so to reach the level of a Supreme Dao Lineage. After tens of thousands of years, only these four sects remained, with Qinghuan Emperor’s Dao Court barely making it five.

In contrast, male-dominated Supreme Dao Lineages numbered nearly a hundred, not counting the hidden ancient clans and numerous first, second, and third-rate sects, and even unranked sects.

Therefore, these five female cultivator sects had maintained close relationships, supporting each other through many significant events.

For example, during the calamity Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace faced ten thousand years ago, if not for their intervention, the entire Cloud Dream Immortal Domain might have been divided among the Armillary Sphere Star Palace, Bright Moon Sword Sect, and others.

Qinghuan Emperor and Tongying Emperor exchanged glances and, after a moment of contemplation, Qinghuan Emperor said, “No need to inform them for now. If they are perceptive enough, they might come to us soon. We can discuss it with them then.”

Mu Yinghua nodded heavily, thinking it was inevitable. After all, Holy Maiden Mu Yingshuang of Qingqiu Hall had visited once before and was sent back by her. But she wouldn’t give up and might come again with her master next time.

Qinghuan Emperor had a vague premonition that it wouldn’t be long before a female cultivator alliance centered around Qing Muling would officially form in the Great Void.

This alliance would be unprecedentedly powerful, even surpassing the Dao Court and Calamity Fate Palace, and the ancient clans, eventually rivaling the Origin Star Palace and unifying the entire Great Void.

In the Misty Illusion Secret Realm.

Inside the floating battleship, as Qing Muling’s figure appeared, Su Yuanzhen, Qi Shuyu, and the other women who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded him, chirping their greetings.

Qing Muling greeted them one by one, and from the phantom of the Blue Lotus leaf, Yu Lingzhou, Xuebing Xuan, and the other senior sisters emerged.

“Newcomers again?”

Upon seeing Qingchan Fairy, Qi Shuyu, Su Yunmo, and the other senior sisters’ faces changed slightly. They had been waiting in line, but now more people were cutting in, and each one had a terrifyingly strong background, leaving them with no chance.

Another one had come, meaning they would have to wait even longer. Who knew how many more would come? The thought was disheartening.

Qing Muling understood his senior sisters’ thoughts and comforted them gently. He figured Qingchan Fairy wouldn’t immediately demand dual cultivation; they would need time to get to know each other and develop feelings, so he could let Qi Shuyu and the others go first.

“Senior Sister, your personal maid and mount came along too? Your treatment is indeed different!”

On the other side, Qingchan Fairy smiled at Dragon Ritual Princess, her eyes flashing with a hidden light.

Dragon Ritual Princess replied calmly, “My Aunt Su and I have high cultivation levels, so we can’t dual cultivate with Junior Brother for now. Therefore, we let Kong Yuhuan take the lead with his consent.”

“Oh, I see!”

Qingchan Fairy nodded slightly, thinking that Dragon Ritual Princess was vying for favor by sending people to Junior Brother’s side. She could do the same. She also needed personal maids and mounts!

Yes, next time she returned, she would discuss this with her master and arrange for the best candidates.

“Hehe…”

Dragon Ritual Princess glanced at her without showing any emotion. They had been close friends, but now, serving the same man, some competition was inevitable.

“Junior Brother, what should we do now? Continue with closed-door cultivation?”

Xuebing Xuan asked, drawing the attention of the surrounding women.

Dragon Ritual Princess had brought Qinghuan Emperor’s Spirit Treasure, which contained a small hidden realm, enough for dozens of cultivators to cultivate simultaneously. For Qing Muling, it was sufficient.

With the time-acceleration formation, Qing Muling and the women’s cultivation speed would be extraordinary, advancing rapidly.

“Cultivation? Let’s do it together!”

Qingchan Fairy blinked her beautiful eyes, slightly puzzled. She didn’t know the secret of Junior Brother’s Light of Dao Enlightenment, so she didn’t find it strange. But since they were all doing it, she couldn’t be absent.

If she didn’t keep the same schedule as Junior Brother, she would be isolated by these vixens.

Qing Muling said, “No rush. I’ll first send the filled spatial artifacts back, then use the Creation Heavenly Palace to enhance your aptitudes and talents. Once everything is ready, we can cultivate.”

“Alright, you decide.” Senior Sister smiled.

The warehouse area in the secret realm was growing larger, but with more people mining resources, it took about ten days to fill up.

Qing Muling only needed two trips to move all the spatial artifacts into his internal space and bring them back, which translated to about three days in the Great Void.

Two days later, in a secluded valley, the fully-formed Creation Heavenly Palace stood silently.

A massive formation had been set up beneath the treasure, connecting to a top-grade spirit crystal mine, tens of thousands of miles wide and millions of miles long.

When the formation was fully activated, countless top-grade spirit crystals would vanish with each breath, providing immense spiritual energy to the treasure.

Inside the palace, under the incredulous gazes of the women, a vast starry sky unfolded before them. Gorgeous, mysterious starlight shone from all directions, like mist and gauze, filled with rich Dao Rhyme.

“This… is the opportunity Junior Brother brought back?”

Qingchan Fairy looked around. The grand hall was magnificent, with a high, dark dome adorned with bright stars. The colorful starlight reflected in the hall, making everything beautiful.

Xuebing Xuan and the others were also amazed, seeing this treasure for the first time.

Qing Muling explained with a smile, “If you cultivate here for a long time, the efficiency is at least a hundred times that of ordinary hidden realms, and it won’t consume extra lifespan.”

The time-acceleration formation was good, but it consumed lifespan. The Creation Heavenly Palace had no such drawback.

“Alright, let’s begin!”

Qing Muling activated a spell, causing the hall to tremble slightly. From the dome, an endless stream of gorgeous starlight poured down, instantly engulfing the women.

Qingchan Fairy soon noticed her vast magical power draining away like quicksand, more than half gone in an instant, almost empty.

Along with the loss of magical power, wisps of gray mist left her body, bringing an indescribable feeling of clarity and comfort.

The gray mist had no specific form, existing between reality and illusion, with a hint of tribulation, karma, and cause and effect. Once it left her body, it was enveloped and annihilated by the starlight.

The brilliant starlight fell, waves of star radiance converging like fish, entering her body.

“I see, I understand!”

Qingchan Fairy’s body trembled as she felt her cultivation level rising, moving from the early to mid-Xuan Immortal stage.

The star radiance merged with her Divine Soul, filled with incredible Dao Rhyme, giving her a comfortable feeling as if soaking in warm spiritual springs.

Looking around, Xuebing Xuan, Qi Yalan, and the others had similar reactions. Dragon Ritual Princess, Su Yuanzhen, and Kong Yuhuan had experienced it before and were more composed.

Ten days passed in a flash.

When Qingchan Fairy opened her eyes, she found her cultivation stable at the mid-Xuan Immortal stage. More importantly, her aptitude, talent, and destiny had significantly improved, enhancing her beauty and grace.

Xuebing Xuan and the others had similar results, with their talents and destinies elevated, meaning faster future cultivation and higher achievements.

“From now on, our potential is on par with monstrous genius seeds!”

Qi Shuyu, Su Yunmo, and the other lower-level senior sisters were overjoyed. After the Creation Heavenly Palace’s baptism, their cultivation was nearing the Elemental Immortal realm. Yu Binghua had reached the peak of the Elemental Immortal realm, ready to break through to the True Immortal realm, thanks to Junior Brother’s Dao Rhyme.

In the past, their cultivation levels were similar to Xuebing Xuan and the others, but since Qing Muling arrived, in just a few years, the gap had grown despairingly large.
