Having decided to aid his senior sisters in crossing their tribulations, Qing Muling didn’t plan to delay any longer. After returning to the temporary camp, he took all the spatial artifacts filled in the storeroom and traveled through space and time back to the Main Altar of the Sect.

For safety’s sake, Yu Lingzhou ordered all the female cultivators to cease their work temporarily and retreat to the floating battleship for rest, waiting for Qing Muling’s arrival before resuming their tasks.

According to the experience of the Supreme Elders, as long as Qing Muling’s residual aura had not completely dissipated, there would be no accidents. Of course, it was always better to be cautious.

However, this time, the Dragon Ritual Princess also returned, claiming to visit her mother, the Qinghuan Emperor. In truth, her intentions were not for outsiders to speculate.

Fortunately, since the reopening of the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, the Qinghuan Emperor had been residing at the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace without leaving. Only an avatar was placed in the pivotal location of the Dao Court, and even the Emperors Xuan Yin and Wei De were unaware of her true body’s whereabouts.

From the perspective of the Qinghuan Emperor, the investment in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, especially in Qing Muling, was indeed the most critical decision in her path of cultivation. She had put almost all her fortune into it and felt uneasy not personally overseeing it.

Now, with more and more eyes on Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and Qing Muling, her presence as one of the three giants of the Dao Court was enough to deter many powers.

Of course, the efforts of the Qinghuan Emperor were not in vain. The recovery of her many injured confidants and the successful tribulation crossing of tens of thousands of female cultivators had significantly increased her disposable power, and her own fortune had also noticeably improved. With time, she was sure to encounter even more pleasant surprises.

Inside the Supreme Sect Master’s abode.

Mu Yinghua, in a gorgeous and dignified bright red dress, sat gracefully on the cloud bed, her face as smooth as jade and her eyebrows like distant mountains. She was speaking with two Emperors when she noticed the ripples in the nearby space, understanding that Qing Muling had returned once again.

A moment later, the familiar figure of the handsome young man in a golden crown and purple robe materialized, his cool gaze turning towards her.

“Back already?”

Upon seeing Qing Muling appear, Mu Yinghua had already left the cloud bed, her phoenix wing gold hairpin slightly trembling, her slender and voluptuous body quietly moving closer. She took his arm with her delicate hand, examining him up and down without pause, her beautiful eyes smiling as they watched him.

“Teacher, it’s like this…”

Qing Muling briefly explained the situation, and then, amidst a flash of rosy light, the figures of Xuebing Xuan and several other senior sisters appeared. Seeing the Sect Master before them, they hurriedly bowed in greeting and then paid their respects to the two Emperors on the cloud bed.

Mu Yinghua gently nodded: “Since the time is ripe, it’s only right to cross the tribulation sooner rather than later. There’s no time to delay, you should head to Yunji Peak to prepare.”

With that, the senior sisters excused themselves and left first, while Qing Muling went with his Master to the Hidden Cave Mystical Realm. He took out all the spatial artifacts from his inner space, allowing the accompanying elders to sort and store them categorically, and then returned them to him once emptied.

Due to the large-scale purchasing activities in recent times, the spiritual stones and crystals in the Hidden Cave Mystical Realm had been spent like water, exchanged for finished resources brought back. Thus, Qing Muling now focused on transporting spiritual crystals to ensure the Sect’s liquidity.

“…Muling, you’re now the wealthiest direct disciple in the Sect, I’m afraid even the two Emperors can’t compare with you!”

Watching the group of elders busy around the mountainous piles of spatial artifacts, taking out the spiritual crystals, Mu Yinghua held Qing Muling’s hand and slyly took a few handfuls, speaking with a chuckling tone.

Qing Muling turned to look at his Master’s beautiful face that could overturn all beings and softly said, “I can’t use all these things by myself. Teacher, your cultivation expenses are high now, so feel free to take what you need from there. I believe the elders won’t say anything.”

This wasn’t an exaggeration. Previously, in assisting the female cultivators with their tribulation and healing the deeply injured elders, Qing Muling had a large amount of resources credited to his name. With Xinyu Emperor and Mu Yinghua personally overseeing, no one could get free benefits.

After the reopening of the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, Mu Yinghua had explicitly promised that all resources transported back from the realm, Qing Muling could monopolize ten percent, completely at his discretion, and no one else could interfere for any reason.

Therefore, Qing Muling was indeed the most affluent cultivator in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and outside, he might even be able to buy a complete Supreme Dao Lineage power.

Wealth, companions, law, and land are the four key conditions for cultivation. Among them, wealth is the first, referring to the many resources and treasures needed for cultivation. Without these, even the most monstrous geniuses cannot emerge.

Mu Yinghua’s beautiful eyes sparkled, and with a teasing smile, she said, “Are you really willing to part with so much? If so, then I won’t be polite!”

Qing Muling nodded slightly: “Of course, teacher, you need to rush to the Daluo realm as soon as possible, and the resources required for cultivation are not few. The Sect’s allocated share is limited, so use mine first! Do we need to stand on ceremony with each other?”

The last sentence was conveyed through spiritual sense, causing Mu Yinghua’s heart to jump, her face blushing like dawn on snow, her eyes moist and joyful amidst her shy demeanor.

What does ‘between us’ imply? This young man is really… But it’s not surprising, considering how he’s been looking at her lately and his bold actions. Mu Yinghua felt ripples in her usually calm heart.

But if it’s him, it seems, not so hard to accept. To others, this would be a coveted, heaven-defying opportunity.

Mu Yinghua turned her head, feigning composure as she responded: “Hmm, then I’ll borrow some resources from you for now, and I’ll return them to you later.”

From Taiyi to Great Golden Immortal, aside from the factors of fortune, aptitude, and potential, the demand for various treasures is an extremely exaggerated number. Many Taiyi Golden Immortals have struggled for millions of years to gather the necessary resources. Even Mu Yinghua, as the Supreme Sect Master, is no exception.

Nowadays, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is filled with experts. Not to mention Xinyu Emperor, there are numerous Taiyi and Daluo level powerhouses. If Mu Yinghua cannot reach the Daluo realm in time, her position as Supreme Sect Master might become unstable.

Of course, with Qing Muling’s help, everything is different. With a vast amount of high-end resources as support, plus the boost of supreme fortune, she can shorten this process as much as possible.

Moreover, Qing Muling’s thoughts didn’t stop there. He felt that to ensure Mu Yinghua’s status and influence, it was best to help her reach the Quasi Holy Emperor Realm as soon as possible. Only then could the position of Sect Master of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace be secured.

Of course, reaching the Quasi Holy Emperor Realm is not easy. To others, such thoughts would seem like a pipe dream, but Qing Muling is different, as long as he…

Mu Yinghua also thought of this and turned her head to give her disciple a reproachful look, chiding: “Don’t indulge in wild fantasies, and don’t mention it to others! Especially your senior sisters, understand?”

The thought of competing for opportunities with her direct disciples in the future made Mu Yinghua feel somewhat embarrassed. If such a thing were to leak, she would likely be too ashamed to face anyone.

Although such occurrences are not unheard of in the Great Void, they are not mainstream.

Qing Muling naturally agreed, understanding his teacher’s thoughts. Everything had to be done gradually and not rushed.

…

After a period of silence, the sky above Yunji Peak was once again filled with rolling tribulation clouds, and this time the aura of the tribulation was unprecedentedly terrifying. Five monstrous genius seeds were crossing the tribulation together, with nearly a hundred Peak True Immortal female cultivators following to take advantage of the situation, making the tribulation even more dangerous than before.

However, with the protection of Qing Muling’s supreme fortune, the Heavenly tribulation dissipated smoothly after a day and a night. Fengxia, Xuebing Xuan, Cheng Yulan, Qi Yalan, and Luo Huan, from that day forward, were genuine Xuan Immortals.
