Secret realms, ancient Dao Lineage relics.

Qin Muling soared out amidst a bevy of women, the once-mysterious hall now transformed into a palm-sized, exquisitely detailed palace he toyed with in his hand.

This was the Creation Heavenly Palace, the former ancient Dao Lineage of Creation Sect’s treasured stronghold. Countless eons ago, the Creation Sect fell during a sect war, and the attacking side, having nearly wiped out their high-ranking immortals, lacked the strength to claim this treasure, leaving it dormant until now.

However, Qin Muling saw many doubts in this case, long buried in the river of time. With his current limited cultivation, the truth hidden deep within history’s fog would have to wait for another day.

“…Let’s head back,”

Yu Lingzhou, clinging to Qin Muling’s arm, could hardly contain her excitement: “This haul is massive; the Sect Master and the Emperors will be thrilled to hear of it.”

Qin Muling nodded slightly, and with a mere thought, the Creation Heavenly Palace merged into his body as a stream of light. His current cultivation was too limited to activate this treasure without a hefty price, requiring the slaughter of numerous high-ranking beasts to feed it.

But with the help of the many Supreme Elders in the sect, this was no great issue. For instance, the corpses of high-ranking Magic Clan progeny could serve as material. Once Qin Muling advanced to the Daluo stage, such troubles would be unnecessary.

Dragon Ritual Princess pondered for a moment before softly saying: “Junior Brother, I also have many hands that could benefit from the Creation Heavenly Palace’s power to enhance their talents and gifts. How about some preferential treatment?”

Qin Muling smiled, “Of course, we’ll discuss the details when we return.”

Moments later, the elongated floating battleship broke through the sky’s clouds, gracefully accelerating into the distance.

“This place can’t be moved; if there’s a chance in the future, we’ll send some disciples over to establish a secret Dao Court branch here, making the most of it.”

In the lavish cabin, Mingyi, the Heavenly Master, spoke. The spirit vein blessed land was too vast, spanning at least billions of miles. While a few Quasi Holy Emperors could potentially move it, doing so would surely alarm the upper echelons of the Heavenly Human Clan, with unpredictable consequences.

Sitting beside her, Dragon Ritual Princess thought for a moment before softly saying, “I have a premonition that our Great Void’s Dao Lineage’s power and the Heavenly Human Clan might erupt into an unprecedentedly massive war. The losing side will face a dire fate!”

“Perhaps…”

Yu Lingzhou and the other women pondered. Given the actions of the Heavenly Human Clan’s upper echelons, the major powers of the Great Void had long been extremely dissatisfied. If, for some reason, travel between the two temporal worlds became relatively simple in the future, war would naturally follow.

Qin Muling was now seated before a dark jade dragon desk, with Fengxia and Kong Yuhuan serving an array of beautiful snacks and spiritual wine and nectar for his leisure.

After two cups of spiritual wine, Qin Muling glanced at the surrounding splendor and the women, nonchalantly saying, “War between the two clans is entirely possible, but the losers will definitely not be us.”

Yu Lingzhou pursed her lips with a smile, her voluptuous body lightly floating over to sit beside Qin Muling. Rolling up her sleeves to reveal her snowy wrists, she picked up the wine jug beside her to pour him a drink: “Of course, with Junior Brother here, how could we possibly fail?”

If the Heavenly Human Clan were defeated, the benefits the Great Void could reap were incalculable. Not only would they recover the fortune lost before, but they could also tear a huge chunk of benefits from the Heavenly Human Clan, perhaps even heralding the return of the ancient immortal era ahead of schedule?

Qin Muling felt this was not impossible. His current actions were undermining the foundation of the Heavenly Human Clan. Although the short-term impact was not apparent, over time, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Human Clan would inevitably pay a painful price.

Non-my clan, their hearts must be different.

So, digging pits for the Heavenly Human Clan, Qin Muling felt no guilt whatsoever.

High in the sky, the fully activated floating battleship silently swept across the blue void, swiftly returning to the mining base.

Xuebing Xuan and several Senior Sisters were the first to greet them, relieved to see their Junior Brother safe and sound, and after observing Kong Yuhuan’s demeanor, they collectively sighed in relief.

Their greatest worry had not come to pass.

One of the key conditions when Qinghuan Emperor and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace formed an alliance through marriage was that the offspring born from Qin Muling and Dragon Ritual Princess’s union must include one who would join her family. This clause also applied to all the children born to the princess’s accompanying maids and concubines.

However, Xinyu Emperor once said that Junior Brother’s first child would likely be a girl, also destined to be a favored child of heaven with an invaluable destiny, perfectly suited to take over Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. So, from Xuebing Xuan and the other women’s perspective, this opportunity must not fall into others’ hands.

Qin Muling found their anxious mentality somewhat speechless. After comforting them, he decided to return to the Main Altar of the Sect to report his recent encounter with fortune to Shepherd Ying and to transport the resources accumulated in the mine over the past few days.

Dragon Ritual Princess naturally wanted to accompany him. She needed to report to her mother, and Yu Lingzhou also planned to return this time. Qin Muling did not refuse; it was a mere trifle.

After collecting all the filled spatial artifacts from the storeroom, the familiar scenery of the Sect Master’s cave dwelling appeared before him as the view shifted.

However, this time, the cave dwelling was empty, with neither Shepherd Ying nor the two Emperors in sight, only Punishment Hall Master Fengxian waiting at the door.

“Muling, you’re back?”

The stunningly beautiful woman in green, with a dignified expression, gracefully rose to her feet, her phoenix-winged golden hairpin shining brightly as she approached him.

Supporting the handsome youth in front of her, she said in a sultry voice, “The Sect Master and the Emperors are entertaining a distinguished guest from the Goddess Sect at another Dao Court branch and couldn’t get away, so I’ve come to welcome you.”

Qin Muling acknowledged her and waved his hand, releasing hundreds of golden-threaded sandalwood boxes filled with large-capacity spatial artifacts to one side. Then, he collected the now-empty spatial artifacts.

Under normal circumstances, he would have flirted with Shepherd Ying for a while before re-entering the secret realm, but now he had to speak to Fengxian.

“Who is the guest that Master is entertaining?”

Qin Muling asked, as the silhouette of Dragon Ritual Princess and Yu Lingzhou emerged from behind the Blue Lotus phantom.

Fengxian was slightly surprised but replied, “It’s Tongying Emperor, the Supreme Sect Master of the Goddess Sect, and her chief disciple, Qingchan Fairy.”

“It’s not because of me, is it?”

Qin Muling felt something was amiss upon hearing this. With the calamity of the Magic Clan not yet settled and the Misty Illusion Secret Realm open, all major Dao Lineage powers were busy. Why would the Goddess Sect’s Sect Master leave important matters to come to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace’s Main Altar?

Fengxian sighed lightly, “Yes, it’s as you think! She has brought a generous gift, hoping you would marry Qingchan Fairy to maintain the strategic alliance between the two sects and jointly face the upcoming great calamity.”

Dragon Ritual Princess’s expression changed, “Why are they meddling?”

Yu Lingzhou scoffed, “With their opportunistic nature, they’re just eyeing the fortune on Muling. They want to come over and mooch off the benefits!”

Lolita Elder had seen too much of this in her experience.

Qin Muling was displeased, “If Master decides to reject them, will the relationship between the two sects break?”

“Not necessarily, but it will definitely be affected. And you’re aware of the special relationship between Goddess Sect and Qinghuan Emperor. If she speaks for the Goddess Sect, it will be difficult for the Sect Master to refuse.”

Fengxian said helplessly, dealing with long-term interests involving two Supreme Dao Lineages was never simple. Moreover, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace indeed owed the Goddess Sect many favors in the past, making the current situation rather tricky.

And this Core Elder had good reason to worry that Tongying Emperor was just the beginning. More allied powers might come knocking, such as Qingqiu Hall, Dew Palace, Great Brahma Temple, Demon Path Ancestral Court, and so on.

“Alright, I’m off. Mention this to Master in private later.”

Qin Muling said, under the current circumstances, it was not suitable for him to appear. Let Xinyu Emperor continue to haggle with them; he would act as if this matter didn’t exist.

“Sure, go ahead.”

(To be continued on the next page)

Fengxian sighed again, fearing this was a situation they couldn’t avoid. Tongying Emperor wasn’t someone easily fooled; without the answer she wanted, how could she give up easily?

For now, they could only take one step at a time.

Dragon Ritual Princess said, “You go ahead, Junior Brother. I’ll talk to my mother about this, and next time you come back, take me with you.”

Qin Muling agreed, his figure fading on the spot, returning to the mining base within the secret realm.

Seeing the approaching Xuebing Xuan and the other women, he hesitated but decided to inform them of the situation.

“These shameless vixens!”

Qi Yalan immediately flared up. Were there no good men left in the Great Void? Why did they all have to set their sights on Junior Brother? Shameless and disgraceful.

“I think Master probably can’t stop it.”

Cheng Yulan frowned, considering the close alliance between the Goddess Sect and Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace over the years, Shepherd Ying might very well agree to this, no matter how reluctant she was.

Xuebing Xuan calmly said, “If we disregard our feelings and Junior Brother’s, this matter is acceptable.”

Once the Goddess Sect joined, it would mean the alliance would have three Quasi Holy Emperors, becoming one of the largest entities in the Great Void, and every major power would have to weigh their actions carefully.

However, knowing Qin Muling’s secret would become more difficult to keep, so this precedent must not be set, even if it meant offending Tongying Emperor of the Goddess Sect.

Qin Muling said, “You need to find a way to send that Qingchan Fairy away, or else this kind of thing will never end. Do you want more and more sisters?”

“We get it!”

Luo Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, “Leave it to us. Just… it might affect your reputation a bit, Junior Brother, so don’t mind it afterward.”

Qin Muling pondered for a moment, understanding Senior Sister Four’s meaning: “You’re going to smear my name? I don’t care, just handle it.”

Xuebing Xuan nodded, “Alright, send us back first!”

Qin Muling had no reason to refuse. After informing Ice Falcon Heavenly Master, he took the Senior Sisters back to the Supreme Sect Master’s cave dwelling.

Fengxian was currently directing the elders to count and transport resources. Seeing Qin Muling return, she was surprised but understood when she saw Xuebing Xuan and the other women appear.

She instinctively lowered her voice, “It won’t be that easy!”

They were not only facing Qingchan Fairy but also Tongying Emperor behind her. How easy could it be to make them give up with just verbal sparring?

Xuebing Xuan was undaunted, “Whether it works or not, we have to try.”

Fengxian nodded slightly, saying no more. In matters concerning the sect’s future, she naturally stood with Xuebing Xuan.

A quarter of an hour later, in Xinyu Emperor’s Dao Court branch.

“…Have they come out of seclusion?”

While entertaining the guests with tea, Shepherd Ying turned her butterfly-like head, her bright eyes looking at the female cultivator who came to report, “And they want to invite Qingchan Fairy over for a chat? This is…”

Sitting at the head, Tongying Emperor and Xinyu Emperor exchanged glances, a faint smile on the former’s dignified and beautiful face as she said:

“Since that’s the case, Qingchan, go meet them! After all, you’ll be serving the same husband in the future; it’s only right to establish good relations now.”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Qingchan Fairy respectfully complied, rising to bow before leaving with the female cultivator.

Senior Sister’s exclusive Dao Court branch wasn’t far. In a short while, by the tranquil and beautiful valley stream, Qingchan Fairy saw six radiant and diverse beauties.

The table in the pavilion was already filled with various fresh spiritual fruits and snacks, all quite rare and unusual.

“Qingchan Senior Sister, long time no see!”

Xuebing Xuan greeted with a smile, “Thinking back, it’s been over a hundred years since we last adventured together after parting at the Baiyuan Immortal Mansion ruins!”

Qingchan Fairy gracefully nodded, removing her veil and smiling in response, “It has been a long time since we’ve interacted, but no matter, we’ll be serving the same husband and spending days and nights together, with plenty of opportunities to travel the Great Void.”

Her bright gaze swept over Cheng Yulan, Qi Yalan, Luo Wanqing, Luo Huan, and Yu Bing, her expression unchanged, but her heart couldn’t help but be shaken.

As a favored daughter of her generation, she had found a rare opportunity in the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, allowing her to break through the peak of the True Immortal realm and step into the Xuan Immortal realm ahead of time, considering herself the foremost among the new generation.

But upon seeing Xuebing Xuan and the others today, Qingchan Fairy was shocked to find that four of them were already genuine Xuan Immortals with incredibly stable foundations and astonishing fortune manifestations. Even Luo Wanqing and Yu Bing, who were slightly behind, were not far from this realm.

In an instant, Qingchan Fairy, who had been confident in herself, realized her advantage was not as significant as she thought, at least not very attractive anymore. She had believed Qin Muling would be very willing to accept this.

“Please, take a seat, Senior Sister!”

Xuebing Xuan invited Qingchan Fairy to sit without revealing her thoughts, and Cheng Yulan and the others also sat down. Seven beauties laughed and chatted, toasting and feasting, a picture of a harmonious bestie gathering.

“By the way, where is Junior Brother Qin Muling?”

After a few cups of spiritual wine, Qingchan Fairy casually inquired, her sole purpose for coming being Qin Muling. If not for the restraint of a favored daughter of heaven, she would have brought it up earlier.

Xuebing Xuan smiled faintly, “Junior Brother is still in the secret realm, preoccupied with competing for an important fortune, so you won’t be able to see him this time.”

“Is that so? Seems I’m not very lucky,”

Qingchan Fairy’s face read “I don’t believe it,” as she said with a charming smile, “I’ve prepared many gifts for Junior Brother, intending to give them to him in person. Seems I’ll have to wait.”

Qi Yalan glanced at her with a half-smile, not saying anything. This seductive figure was indeed Junior Brother’s favorite type, with a radiant face and full, ripe curves like a juicy peach, every smile and gesture filled with fatal allure.

Xuebing Xuan put down her jade dragon cup and said in a low voice, “We understand your feelings, Senior Sister, but as someone who’s been through it, I must advise you that he’s not a good match, neither for the sect nor for you personally.”

Qingchan Fairy blinked her sparkling eyes, puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Because he’s a man driven by lust,”

Cheng Yulan couldn’t hide her disappointment, “He can’t let go of any beauty he sees. Having us wasn’t enough; even the maids and servants around him, one by one, have all fallen to him.”

“And still unsatisfied, he’s been leaving his mark all over the sect. Every time new core disciples are selected, any with outstanding looks are subjected to his ‘unspoken rules’ and taken to warm his bed!”

“The Sect Master and the elders are extremely dissatisfied with his behavior, only tolerating it because of his fortune and talent. Little did they know, he became more and more outrageous, even… even…”

Xuebing Xuan’s eyes showed deep shame, seemingly too embarrassed to continue.

Qingchan Fairy’s eyes flickered, “There are no outsiders here, you can speak freely. If it’s just lust, it doesn’t seem like a flaw, does it? Aren’t all men like that? There are no cats that don’t steal, the honest ones just haven’t had the chance.”

Luo Huan took over, “The number of female cultivators he’s harmed in the sect has exceeded three thousand. And as long as he’s in the sect, he holds so-called ‘uncovered gatherings’ day and night. He even started eyeing the high-ranking elders, thinking about all sorts of perverse acts involving masters and disciples, mothers and daughters, sisters, and so on. His actions are simply too heinous!”

“Now, he’s made the sect a place of resentment. All the sisters avoid him as much as possible, and even the Sect Master has completely given up on him!”

“…Is that so?”

Qingchan Fairy looked at them skeptically, “If he’s really so reckless, why isn’t there a sect rule to discipline him? The Supreme Sect Master wouldn’t let him run wild, right?”

Xuebing Xuan looked helpless and wronged, “It’s really because of his exceptional potential and unimaginable fortune that the Sect Master and the elders have tolerated him time and again, but it’s been hard on us sisters.”

After hesitating, her skirt suddenly became transparent, revealing the collar and indescribable undergarments beneath, with faint bite marks on her creamy skin, a boldness that even made Qingchan Fairy blush.

Then, Cheng Yulan, Luo Wanqing, and the other women silently followed suit, revealing various shame-inducing outfits, making Qingchan Fairy feel somewhat out of place.

“These things… are all his inventions,”

Xuebing Xuan whispered, “He always forces us sisters to dress like this, serving his pleasure day and night. Any resistance is met with brutal beatings and humiliation! We’re powerless to fight back, enduring for the sake of the sect’s greater good.”

“Senior Sister, if you marry into this, won’t you also become his plaything… subjected to such humiliation?”

“Is that so?”

Qingchan Fairy pondered Thoughtfully, Qingchan Fairy considered the situation. If Qin Muling’s behavior was as outrageous as they claimed, perhaps she needed to inform her Sect Master and reconsider this arrangement.

After all, no Dao Lineage would tolerate such behavior, especially not Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, a sect of female cultivators. Allowing a male cultivator to wreak such havoc would be too damaging to their reputation.

After a long contemplation, Qingchan Fairy spoke softly, “I can understand your feelings, sisters, but I still wish to see for myself.”

Luo Wanqing looked at her incredulously, “Have you gone mad, Senior Sister?”

Qingchan Fairy smiled sweetly, “Since you’re willing to indulge his preferences, adding me to the mix doesn’t seem to be a big deal, right? Unless you’re not planning to include me?”

“…”
