Above Yunji Peak, as the rumbling thunder of the final wave of heavenly tribulations gradually faded, the overall strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the Female Cultivator Alliance had reached unprecedented heights.
According to Xinyu Emperor’s assessment, the current strength of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace alone was equivalent to the combined might of at least ten peak Supreme Dao Lineage powers of the past.
The number of high-level immortals, the scale of the new generation of disciples, the size of the sect’s territory, and the abundance of cultivation resources were all key indicators of a Dao Lineage’s hard power.
In all these aspects, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had no weaknesses, and this included the entire Female Cultivator Alliance.
Undoubtedly, this was all due to Qing Muling. Without his presence, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace might not have survived until the return of the founding ancestor, Qingyao Immortal Venerable, and would have been annihilated in the Magic Clan tribulation.
“Now that our strength is sufficient, can we officially announce the incorporation of the territories of those two Dao Lineage powers into our sect’s domain?” Mu Yinghua asked Xinyu Emperor in the Supreme Sect Master’s Abode.
Xinyu Emperor nodded, “Very well, let’s proceed with that.”
Around Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the four forces that were destroyed were Armillary Sphere Star Palace, Bright Moon Sword Sect, Azure Fall Divine Sect, and Nine Spirit Proto Gate.
Of course, Azure Fall Divine Sect and Armillary Sphere Star Palace were destroyed by Ice Toad Emperor of Origin Star Palace. However, she did not claim their territories afterward; she merely plundered the wealth and resources, relocated a large number of mortals to Origin Star Palace’s land, and then announced the public auction of these two territories.
It was not uncommon in the Great Void for a Dao Lineage’s territory to be annexed or auctioned off after its destruction. However, it was extremely rare for the territories of two Supreme Dao Lineage powers, spanning several complete celestial regions, to be put up for auction.
The asking price from Origin Star Palace was not exorbitant, but few Dao Lineage powers showed interest.
The reason was simple: the karmic burden was too great. No one knew if the ancestors of these two Dao Lineages, who had ascended, might return in the future. Moreover, no one could predict what would happen if they got entangled with Origin Star Palace.
Furthermore, with the Magic Clan tribulation raging fiercely, all major powers were suffering heavy losses and struggling to defend their existing territories, let alone buying new ones.
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace now had no shortage of resources or strength. Mu Yinghua had considered acquiring the territories, but after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to wait and see.
A large swath of colorful flower petal illusions appeared, and Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s graceful figure emerged from within. Xinyu Emperor and Mu Yinghua quickly stood up to greet her.
“The sect’s affairs are settled. I plan to take Muling to the depths of the chaos of the vast void to seek opportunities,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable said to them.
Xinyu Emperor had no reason to refuse. This matter was very important to Qingyao Immortal Venerable, and if they were lucky, they might gain unexpected rewards.
Mu Yinghua thought for a moment and said nervously, “Ancestor, Muling originally came from the chaos of the vast void. This trip should not pose any problems, right?”
She was unsure if there were enemies of the Harmony Spirit Seed in the chaos of the vast void or if there were things that could restrain or harm him. Given Qing Muling’s current cultivation level, he was not strong enough to handle the dangers of the chaos of the vast void. If anything happened to him, the sect could not bear the consequences.
Moreover, without Qing Muling’s fortune suppression, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace’s territory might face attacks from high-level Magic Clan progeny armies in the near future. Although they were confident in defending it, the casualties could be significant.
“Don’t worry, I will ensure Muling’s safety,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable said. “Besides, I will leave an avatar to guard the Main Altar of the sect, ensuring that no external enemies can take advantage.”
“Understood, we will follow the ancestor’s instructions,” Mu Yinghua finally relaxed. With Qinghuan Emperor and others, there were now nine Quasi Holy Emperors guarding the sect, plus Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s avatar. They were stronger than the current peak Dao Courts and Origin Star Palace, so there was no need to be overly anxious.
Moreover, from Mu Yinghua’s perspective, Qing Muling temporarily leaving the sect was a good thing. Recently, many vixens had been trying to get close to him, and their intentions were obvious.
The high-ranking elders of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were one thing, as they were family. But even female immortals from other sects were joining in, with Qinghuan, Tongying, Jinglan, and Lan Hua all lowering themselves to invite Qing Muling to banquets. It was simply…
If Qing Muling didn’t leave, he would soon be overwhelmed by their passionate advances and be forced to accept a group of new Dao Companions. How could that be tolerated?
Thus, Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s arrangement was timely. With the main person gone, no matter how many tricks they had, they would be useless.
At this moment, Qing Muling was talking with his senior sisters in the back mountain of Imperial Dao Peak.
To be precise, they were soaking in a hot spring together in the inner hall, openly and honestly. This had the benefit of strengthening bonds with his senior sisters and providing a legitimate reason to refuse the endless stream of visitors.
“Senior Brother Qing is soaking with his senior sisters and is temporarily unavailable to see guests!”
“Senior Brother Qing is cultivating with his senior sisters. Please come back later!”
“Senior Brother Qing is resting with his senior sisters and cannot be disturbed. Please understand!”
At the palace gates, the head maid Muxin’er softly informed the visiting female immortals, who didn’t believe her but had no choice.
Even if they wanted to join, they were not yet Qing Muling’s Dao Companions. They couldn’t just barge in on such private matters, as it would be inappropriate.
So, the female immortals could only leave in frustration, planning to return another time. However, a few stubborn ones stayed at the palace gates, refusing to leave without seeing Qing Muling.
After all, female immortals had long lifespans and plenty of patience. Meditating at the gates didn’t delay anything, and waiting ten or twenty years was no big deal.
Inside the inner hall.
“Traveling to the chaos of the vast void is extremely dangerous. Junior Brother, you must protect yourself. Your safety now concerns the rise and fall, even the life and death, of the sect. Don’t be careless…” Yu Lingzhou, holding a snow fruit to feed Qing Muling, repeatedly reminded him. Qingchan Fairy knelt in the warm spring water, carefully massaging his legs, her eyes filled with infatuation and happiness.
“Yes, I understand,” Qing Muling paused, releasing the milky white snow fruit. “Senior sisters, don’t worry. I came from the chaos of the vast void, so I should be familiar with it, at least more so than ordinary cultivators. With the ancestor’s protection, nothing will happen.”
All the matters needing his attention in the sect were settled. He couldn’t delay his promise to Qingyao Immortal Venerable to go to the chaos of the vast void.
The Harmony Creation Blue Lotus was born from the depths of the chaos of the vast void. Returning there was just revisiting an old place.
Unfortunately, Qing Muling had no memories of the Harmony Spirit Seed’s birth, so he didn’t know the exact situation there.
The master of Origin Star Palace had found him in the chaos of the vast void, indicating she had great fortune and luck. Otherwise, she would have perished at the hands of the terrifying chaotic beasts.
“Senior Brother, let me massage your legs this time!” Bai Qingyu, in a light gauze dress and shy eyes, approached, embracing him with her soft, tender body. It was her first time serving Qing Muling, so she was a bit reserved. But seeing her senior sisters’ calm and skilled demeanor, she gradually relaxed.
Qing Muling smiled and nodded. Qingchan Fairy stood up to make room, and Bai Qingyu, imitating her senior sister, began massaging his legs.
Initially clumsy, she quickly became proficient under Su Yuanzhen’s guidance, making Qing Muling feel incredibly comfortable.
“Junior Brother, how long will you be gone?” Xuebing Xuan asked softly. As Taiyi Golden Immortals, their cultivation required more Dao Rhyme. If Qing Muling was gone too long, they couldn’t bear it.
Qing Muling pondered, “It’s hard to say, at most a year or two. Given the tribulation, the ancestor won’t stay there long.”
“That’s good,” the senior sisters sighed in relief. They could accept this short time. It also allowed Qing Muling to avoid the vixens’ harassment.
Dragon Ritual Princess, with a seductive smile, embraced Qing Muling, “Since you’re leaving soon, why not take this last chance to cultivate with us? Without you, we can’t sleep well!”
“Alright,” Qing Muling sighed. Dragon Ritual Princess cheered, her soft, voluptuous body entwining with his.
Once the battle of passion began, it wouldn’t end quickly. With Taiyi Golden Immortals’ strength, and their combined assault, Qing Muling found it harder to defeat them than before.
When the senior sisters were finally satisfied, Qingyao Immortal Venerable appeared by the bath, unfazed by the aftermath. “It’s time, Junior Brother. Let’s go!”
“Alright,” Qing Muling replied, flying out of the bath. His clothes flew over, dressing him neatly.
In the next moment, Qingyao Immortal Venerable held his waist, and they were in the Great Void.
Behind them, the void land of billions of miles quickly receded, shrinking to the size of a teacup in a few breaths.
Qingyao Immortal Venerable summoned a starship, over thirty meters long, sleek and radiant, and they entered. Inside, it was a paradise, with palaces, gardens, and spirit veins, a flying Dao Court.
“This innate Spirit Treasure was found in an ancient ruin in the upper realm,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable explained. “Its greatest strengths are its sturdiness and speed, crucial in the chaos of the vast void to escape dangerous situations.”
Qing Muling asked, “Can you tell me about the upper realm and the chaos of the vast void? Are the two worlds in the same space-time dimension? It seems easier to travel between them than I thought.”
He was curious and knew he would encounter these matters eventually. As more upper realm experts returned, the Great Void’s future would be lively.
Qingyao Immortal Venerable smiled, “We have plenty of time on this journey. Let me explain it all to you.”
She led him to a luxurious inner hall, filled with a delicate fragrance.
At the center, a lotus-shaped bath, dozens of meters wide, held a pale blue, fragrant spirit liquid.
“Let’s soak and talk. This water is from the Nine Profound Cold Dawn Spirit Spring in the upper realm, excellent for healing hidden injuries, refining magical power, and enhancing the body,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable said, undressing gracefully, revealing her stunning figure.
Qing Muling, slightly embarrassed, turned away but soon joined her, realizing there was no need for modesty.
They soaked in the bath, maintaining some distance. The water wasn’t transparent, so Qing Muling could control himself.
“Let’s have some fruit too,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable said, summoning a platter of five-colored lotus seeds. “I heard you love snow fruits. I have some here for you.”
Her virtuous avatar, a graceful woman in white, appeared, undressing and joining them to massage Qing Muling’s shoulders.
“Chaos of the vast void is the ultimate source of all existence and Dao laws,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable explained. “Our Great Void, the upper realm, Misty Illusion Secret Realm, and even the legendary Heavenly Realm, all evolved from it.”
Qing Muling was surprised, “So the upper realm is also in the chaos of the vast void, with countless worlds?”
“Exactly,” Qingyao Immortal Venerable confirmed.
