At the peak of Yudao Peak.

Mu Yinghua’s slender and plump figure stood alone, looking up at the rolling golden and purple aura gathering in the sky, silently calculating with the secret technique.

“The hope of the sect’s revival is getting bigger and bigger…”

The sect master murmured, the increase in aura seemed low in proportion, but it was a significant increase based on the current foundation, and the absolute quantity was not small.

When Qing Muling first joined the sect, the overall aura of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was one hundred. His joining immediately increased the sect’s aura by thirty.

However, now, with the massive rare resources brought back by Qing Muling from the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, the recovery of more than twenty elders, the return of the sect’s treasured artifact, the Phoenix Cloud Tower, the continuous repair of the main altar, and the rapid increase in Qing Muling’s cultivation, under various bonuses and benefits, the overall aura of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has reached about one thousand, and there is no sign of stagnation.

So this one percent increase is one hundred. And this is only the current change, whether there will be further increases in the future is unknown.

More importantly, after Qing Muling combined with Xuebing Xuan, the connection with the sect became even closer, making it increasingly unlikely for outsiders to interfere.

Mu Yinghua was not worried about those super Dao Lineages, but the Dao Court was different. If they did not take precautions in advance, it was possible that they might succeed.

At least the current Qinghuan Emperor of the Dao Court is an unshakable figure in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. If she is determined to ignore the rules and insist on interfering, Mu Yinghua really has no way to deal with it for a while.

Of course, now that he has become Dao companions with Xuebing Xuan, this concern is temporarily nonexistent.

Perhaps, when he retires from the position of sect master in several years, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will have restored the status and glory of the ancient super Dao Lineages.

Mu Yinghua let out a long sigh. In the near future, he could completely become the leader of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, his name recorded in history, and his life story admired and passed down by countless future generations.

“Sect Master…”

Yu Lingzhou appeared by her side at some point, followed by Yueyi Heavenly Lord: “Can they come out in ten days? Should we extend it? Otherwise, it may be hard to cover up.”

Mu Yinghua naturally understood her meaning and pondered for a moment: “Of course, that’s decided then! But I think ten days should be enough. It’s not suitable to practice together for the first time. Moderation is the right way.”

Yu Lingzhou looked at her with a smile: “But you don’t seem very happy? Could it be because…”

Mu Yinghua was slightly stunned: “Elder, what are you talking about?”

“Nothing, hehe…”

Yu Lingzhou looked at the sect master meaningfully, then changed the subject: “After Tang Ruoxuan left the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, he went to the main altar of the Huaqing Divine Palace and received a high-level reception from the Sect Master Yuli Immortal Venerable. How do you think we should respond to this?”

Mu Yinghua furrowed her brows lightly. The grudges between the Huaqing Divine Palace and the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had been going on for a long time. It was hard to say who was right or wrong now, and it was impossible to turn hostility into friendship.

When the disciples of the two sects traveled outside, they would avoid each other, but once they met, it would inevitably end in a fight to the death.

In the past thousands of years, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was weak, and the Huaqing Divine Palace, because of its ability to make friends and gain support, was willing to “put down its dignity” to make connections, and developed rapidly. Therefore, when facing the old rival, it became more and more aggressive, trying to provoke a fight more than once.

“This kind of thing can’t be avoided. We can only watch and wait,”

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yinghua finally said, “Even if they try to stir up trouble, the Dao Court is unlikely to lean towards them at the moment, so there’s no need to worry. At least until the end of the truce, we can focus on recovering and developing.”

The two elders nodded. What the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace needed most now was time. As long as they got through this special period, they would naturally be fearless of any external challenges in the future.

However, those hostile forces might not fail to see this, so it was certain that some means that could not be brought to light would be unavoidable, and the high-level of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace could not afford to be careless.

Yueyi Heavenly Lord asked again, “Sect Master, do you think we can recover to what extent after the truce expires?”

Mu Yinghua’s gaze turned to the area behind the mountain: “It depends on Qing Muling’s rate of growth. As long as he can successfully ascend to immortality, at least half of the elders sleeping in the secret realm can be restored because of him. By then, our high-end combat power will be enough to reunify the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain.”

The Cloud Dream Immortal Domain was originally the traditional territory of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and now, with the large surrounding territories in the starry sky, most of it had been divided among many forces. If they could successfully reclaim it in the future, it would mean that the sect’s revival was about seventy to eighty percent complete, and the road ahead would be much smoother.

Yu Lingzhou smiled slightly: “My judgment is the same. As long as we have those elders to help, we will have no problem contending with the surrounding supreme Dao Lineages.”

In fact, as long as a supreme Dao Lineage force that has been passed down for over a million years exists, there will basically be a group of elders who have been injured for various reasons and have been in seclusion for many years in their old lair. And only a very small part of them have the opportunity to recover.The vast majority of the elders, only when their own power is at stake, will they use up their last bit of life force to sacrifice themselves, dragging one or more enemies of similar cultivation level to their deaths.

So these high-end combat powers on the books are actually not reliable until the last moment of desperation. Usually, they are just for show.

However, now that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has someone like Qing Muling, they can completely awaken all these elders and restore them, turning them into high-end combat powers that can be used at any time. This strategic advantage is unmatched by other Dao Lineage forces in the surrounding area.

Mu Yinghua sighed, “His growth rate is already quite fast, but I still feel it’s not enough. If only he could grow faster. Unfortunately, the special resources in the sect that can quickly improve cultivation are mostly suitable for female cultivators, it’s really…”

“Then go buy them outside,”

Yueyi Heavenly Lord said in a deep voice, “Through those secret channels, it doesn’t matter if we have to pay a higher price. For example, those Phoenix Dawn Replenishing Pills, we can buy as many as possible. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace should at least be able to provide the resources needed for the growth of a male disciple!”

“That’s true. Then it’s decided.”

Mu Yinghua nodded. Although these rare resources are relatively rare in the market and are monopolized by various Dao Lineage forces, as long as we are willing to spend spirit stones and crystals, we can still obtain some. It’s not a big problem to satisfy the cultivation needs of Qing Muling alone.

Yu Lingzhou narrowed her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, “In addition to resources, there is actually another solution. If we can arrange for a few female cultivators with high cultivation levels to practice with him, the same effect can be achieved. You see…”

“What are you trying to do?”

Mu Yinghua’s expression changed slightly, and there was a hint of alertness in her voice, a powerful aura hidden but not released.

“Where are you going with this?”

Yu Lingzhou said calmly, “I’m just giving you a suggestion. After all, this is a matter of the sect’s revival, not a time to be willful and temperamental, Sect Master, don’t you agree?”

“…”

Mu Yinghua looked at the other party with suspicion, and after a long time, she snorted, “I will find a way to solve this matter properly. Elder Yu doesn’t need to ask too much.”

With that, her figure disappeared on the spot.

Yu Lingzhou’s thoughts moved slightly, and the spiritual energy in front of her fluctuated like water, quietly condensing into a bright mirror.

The two women in the mirror were both enchanting and beautiful, and Yu Lingzhou’s temperament was more pure and lively, while Yueyi Heavenly Lord’s temperament was noble and dignified. Their figures were equally irresistible, making people involuntarily intoxicated.

The two women smiled at each other and left hand in hand.

…

After ten days and ten nights.

The colorful celestial phenomenon in the deep and quiet sky finally faded away, and the sect’s mountain protection array gradually fell silent, marking the end of this round of major land restoration project.

Due to the improved efficiency, the recovery speed of the giant land was much faster than expected. This time, the outer edge of the giant land expanded by an average of more than two million miles. The land fragments in the void that were relatively close had basically returned.

With the rapid increase in the sect’s luck, the concentration of spiritual energy on the vast giant land has increased significantly, and many previously exhausted spiritual veins and blessed lands have shown signs of recovery. Many grassroots disciples also made progress in their cultivation during meditation.

Even the success rate of the elders in alchemy, refining, talisman making, and healing has increased significantly. In the past, this was almost unimaginable.

At the entrance of the sleeping palace.

Mu Xiner and the other ten maids had been standing for a long time. In their hands were new ceremonial clothes, jade belts, and carefully brewed millennium Xuan ginseng soup, as well as elixirs to replenish their vitality.

Originally, they thought it would be another leisurely day, but it was Elder Lan who came to remind them, so they hurriedly prepared to welcome the new person.

Finally, the main door of the sleeping palace slowly opened, and Xuebing Xuan’s clear and pleasant voice with a hint of laziness instructed them to enter and serve.

“Finally, it’s over.”

In the depths of the heavy brocade, Qing Muling, who looked listless, breathed a sigh of relief, and with some effort, got up and went to the back hall to change clothes with Mu Xiner’s support.

During these days, the usually gentle and graceful senior sister had become unusually domineering, and basically didn’t let him wear any clothes. Day and night, she kept him busy, trying out different things.

Although this unprecedented experience was what he had always dreamed of, everything had to have a limit. Once it went too far, it would only be uncomfortable.

Originally, he was naturally at a disadvantage in this matter, and the gap in cultivation level with the senior sister was so great that he had no power to fight back.

After a few rounds, Qing Muling reluctantly accepted his fate: Senior Sister, I don’t want to try anymore! You can do whatever you want!

Of course, what Xuebing Xuan and he didn’t know was that in a hidden space layer, a group of graceful figures were silently watching the whole process, feeling relaxed and happy, and even communicating with each other enthusiastically with their divine thoughts, as if they were ready to take over the scene themselves.Fortunately, their cultivation levels were high enough, and their methods were clever enough, combined with Qing Muling being suppressed by the eldest senior sister to the point of breathlessness. Otherwise, with the mighty power of the innate Harmony Spirit Seed, it would have been entirely possible for him to see through their ruse, which would have been quite the awkward situation.

In the luxurious bath, Qing Muling leaned against the pool’s edge, silently circulating his cultivation technique to regulate his vital energies, quickly restoring his spirit, energy, and soul.

The eldest senior sister opposite him looked radiant and spirited, her aura at an unprecedented peak. Using a secret method to investigate, the aura of fortune above her head was resplendent and abundant, both in quality and quantity, having significantly leaped forward.

“Should be enough accumulation, right? When will you attempt to break through to the Elemental Immortal realm?”

After a while, Qing Muling opened his eyes and asked.

Xuebing Xuan looked at him with eyes full of infatuation and happiness: “It’s enough, and the accumulation of magical power is unprecedentedly rich. I can attempt Tribulation Crossing at any time, and it’s all thanks to you, Junior Brother!”

As she spoke, her enchanting jade arm couldn’t help but reach out and wrap around him.

Qing Muling was startled: “Don’t mess around, we still have to meet with the Sect Master later!”

Xuebing Xuan softly said: “Don’t be nervous, senior sister is just massaging your shoulders, nothing more. Anyway, you really worked hard this time.”

Without Qing Muling’s assistance, the eldest senior sister would have had to endure many more secluded cultivations to advance from Ascending to Immortality to the Elemental Immortal realm. Now, she had achieved it in one step, saving a great deal of arduous effort.

After Ascending to Immortality, as the divine powers of cultivators became increasingly profound, the difficulty of breaking through realms also skyrocketed exponentially. Many talented cultivators, having exhausted their fortune and opportunities, found themselves stuck at a certain realm for their entire lives, unable to advance an inch until they died of old age, forced to dissipate their cultivation.

Moreover, with each major realm advancement, cultivators must endure the trials of heavenly tribulations, each more terrifying and difficult than the last. If one could not withstand it, they would face the dissolution of soul and body, with no chance of reincarnation.

Many cultivators, unsure of their ability to withstand the heavenly tribulations, would rather live cautiously their whole lives, only risking it all when their lifespan was nearing its end, gambling on that one in ten thousand chance.

However, for Xuebing Xuan, all these challenges were no longer issues, simply because her destined partner was Junior Brother.

Qing Muling felt slightly relieved, enjoying the meticulous care of the eldest senior sister. He briefly sensed the state of his cultivation within his body and found that he was at the peak of the Spirit God realm, just a step away from the True Person Realm.

After the True Person Realm comes the True Unity Realm, followed by the Heart Demon Realm, the Destiny Realm, and then the realms of Feather Transformation and Ascending to Immortality.

A moment later.

The two finally finished preparing and came out, both dressed in splendid attire, radiant and striking, hand in hand as they stepped out of the palace gate to visit the Supreme Sect Master’s abode.
