Misty Illusion Secret Realm, a small world within a divine treasure.

Under the bright pearl light, Qing Muling, sitting on a cold jade cloud bed, struggled to get up. His handsome face showed obvious signs of fatigue.

On the bed, two stunningly beautiful female immortals lazily opened their enchanting eyes and stretched their alluring, snow-white bodies. Their jade-like faces revealed undisguised joy and satisfaction as they softly said:

“The effect is really quite good. Not only have our old injuries healed completely, but even our depleted lifespans have been mostly restored. Junior Brother, you are truly amazing! We don’t know how we can ever repay you in the future.”

“We’ll talk about that later.”

Qing Muling replied casually, taking the jade bowl handed to him by Yu Lingzhou. Inside was a steaming hot soup made from the thousand-year-old Xuan Leaf Jade Ginseng.

As he drank it all in one gulp, the powerful medicinal energy turned into a warm current, quickly restoring his overexerted energy and spirit.

Ice Falcon Heavenly Lord, with her delicate and beautiful face and dark eyebrows, smiled and said, “Senior Sisters, since your injuries have healed, you should go out and rest. The other Senior Sisters are still waiting.”

“Yes, we know. We’ll catch up again when we have the chance.”

The two female immortals from the Goddess Sect, obviously familiar with her, got up from the bed with a smile, tidied their skirts, and left after giving Qing Muling a few reluctant glances.

“Dealing with so many women every day is really exhausting!”

Qing Muling put down the jade bowl and complained somewhat irritably, especially since the two female immortals just now were at the Great Golden Immortal realm, making them particularly difficult to handle.

The plump and fragrant body of Lolita Elder leaned over, hugged him, and kissed him gently, soothing him softly, “Junior Brother, be patient. There aren’t many left, probably only three or four hundred more! Their hopes of recovery rest on you. If you don’t work hard, who will?”

Qing Muling sighed and said no more.

These days, he spent most of his time in this divine treasure, healing the Supreme Elders of the Goddess Sect. With the help of the time-accelerating formation, the first batch of over a thousand female cultivators, whose injuries were not too severe, recovered easily.

After all, Qing Muling was now at the peak of the Ascending to Immortality realm, and his healing divine abilities had become increasingly powerful. Even for Great Golden Immortal-level experts, recovery was just a matter of lifting a finger.

Then, having tasted the benefits, Tongying Emperor sent nearly ten thousand Supreme Elders over after more than a month. Their injuries were generally more severe, and they relied on various rare divine herbs to maintain their vitality while barely able to walk outside.

Some of the worst-off elders had their remaining lifespans calculated in days, leaving no room for delay.

So Qing Muling had no choice but to accept it all, arranging the order of treatment based on the severity of their injuries, working tirelessly day and night. Even with the miraculous Harmony Spirit Seed, he was nearly exhausted.

Fortunately, Yu Lingzhou continuously prepared various top-grade divine herbs to replenish his energy, along with high-grade spiritual beast and bird ingredients, ensuring he didn’t collapse from exhaustion.

“Alright, let them in.”

After a brief rest, Qing Muling returned to his peak state and spoke.

Since he had already agreed to Tongying Emperor and accepted the generous rewards from the Goddess Sect, he had to do the job perfectly, even if it was tiring.

Fengxia, who played the role of a personal maid, responded and left the cave.

When she returned shortly after, six beautiful women followed her in. They were all dressed in golden feathered rainbow-colored dresses, elegant and noble, with stunningly identical faces. They were rare sextuplet sisters, all at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

These sextuplet sisters were in better condition than the two Great Golden Immortal female immortals from earlier. Qing Muling estimated that healing them would only consume about ten percent of his energy and spirit.

“Junior Brother, shall we begin?”

The leading beauty asked with a soft smile, her jade hand untying her belt and gracefully removing her outer dress, leaving only a semi-transparent silk embroidered undergarment and skirt, revealing her alluring curves.

The remaining five sisters followed suit, removing their outer garments and climbing onto the cold jade cloud bed, obediently lining up, their enchanting eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at the handsome young man opposite them.

Qing Muling took a deep breath, suppressing his inner restlessness, and sat down opposite them.

Pure and clear, deep blue-purple light emanated from his hands, forming a bright halo that enveloped the six beauties, silently merging with them.

Within the halo, faint chaotic spiritual light appeared, dazzling and magnificent, carrying the endless vitality of creation, and the profound Dao Rhyme spread lightly.

The thick creation energy within the blue-purple light continuously merged into their Dao bodies and divine souls, slowly and steadily repairing the hidden injuries on both their souls and bodies. Their dim life force began to revive and grow stronger.

“Indeed, it’s truly miraculous…”

The six beauties thought excitedly. As more creation energy flowed into their bodies like converging rivers, they felt an indescribable comfort and pleasure, and their recovery speed significantly increased.

An hour later, Qing Muling slowly finished his work.

Opposite him, the sextuplet sisters had fully restored their peak Taiyi Golden Immortal auras and were joyfully examining their internal and external conditions.

Given their previous state, they would have struggled to recover in their lifetimes, spending the rest of their days in slumber. Now, they could continue to live freely for millions of years, and with good fortune, they might even attempt to break through to the Great Golden Immortal realm.

“Junior Brother!”

The leading beauty squinted her enchanting eyes, looking Qing Muling up and down with a smile, “Do you have a Dao Companion? Hmm, you haven’t been cultivating for long, so you probably don’t. Even if you do, it doesn’t matter. I can arrange a few more for you. What do you think…”

“Enough of that!”

Ice Falcon Heavenly Lord said irritably, “Before you, there were thousands of vixens saying the same thing! Do you think Junior Brother lacks women? Besides, he’s the prodigy of our Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. You Goddess Sect female cultivators should stop trying to get close to him!”

Allowing a Qingchan Fairy to join was already the limit of what the Senior Sisters could tolerate. Trying to send more people to compete for favor? Dream on! Don’t forget there are still many Senior Sisters in the sect waiting eagerly!

“Alright, we’ll pretend we didn’t say that.”

The beauty reluctantly shut her mouth and, along with her sisters, dressed and left, but not before giving Qing Muling a hard look.

Ah! Such an unparalleled prodigy, how did he end up with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace? If only he were from our Goddess Sect…

The Supreme Elders from the Goddess Sect thought regretfully.

Outside, within the floating battleship, the palace was adorned with jewels and flowers of all colors.

At the desk, Second Senior Sister Cheng Yulan, dressed in a snow-white palace gown, was organizing jade slips and records. Her unadorned beautiful face, with eyelashes like crow feathers, blinked slightly as she casually chatted with several Senior and Junior Sisters:

“There are more and more people in the secret realm, and we are getting busier. I wonder how many more will come?”

Fourth Senior Sister Luo Wanqing, half-leaning on a chair, her bright and fiery jade face and tight armor revealing a domineering figure, held a wine jug, drinking lazily, “No matter how many come, they are all under our control, and they must give us half of their gains for free. So what if there are many people? They are all working for the sect.”

This was the pre-agreed condition. Since only Qing Muling could enter and exit the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, and only his fortune could suppress and confuse the secret realm’s beast tides, the female cultivators from the Goddess Sect and Qinghuan Emperor’s Dao Court had to follow Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace’s arrangements once inside.

So, over the past few days, Qinghuan Emperor and Tongying Emperor had sent many of their core forces in batches, led by Qing Muling, to speed up resource collection and transport.

By the end of last month, the total number of female cultivators working in the secret realm had exceeded 300,000, with a Dao weapon puppet army of over 600,000, and a large number of magical tools. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace’s forces accounted for only 30%, with the rest coming from the other two factions.

In a red and rainbow-colored dress, with a pure and quiet demeanor like a small family jade, Luo Huan blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly, “That’s true, but they are still getting a good deal. Without Junior Brother’s fortune to obscure the heavenly secrets and confuse yin and yang, such a large number of female cultivators entering the secret realm would have been detected by the Heavenly Human Clan’s high-levels long ago, leading to their complete annihilation.”

Without Qing Muling, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the Misty Illusion Secret Realm so easily, let alone bring out large amounts of resources. So Luo Huan’s words were not wrong.

In the main seat, dressed in a bright red rainbow-colored dress, Xuebing Xuan calmly checked the records and said in a clear and pleasant voice, “But now the three factions are strategic allies, so we can’t be too clear-cut. Didn’t they send their best heirs to Junior Brother? They’ll be spending a lot of time together in the future.”

The cold and enchanting Qi Yalan frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with a faint worry, “Actually, this is not a big deal. The key is that when we face the Origin Star Palace in the future, we will need several Emperors to join forces to protect our Junior Brother. So it’s not a big deal to let them gain some benefits now.”

Talking about this, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy.

No one knew how much power was hidden within the Origin Star Palace. Even the organizations best at intelligence gathering couldn’t find out.

The only confirmed Quasi Holy-level existence was the Ice Toad Emperor. Her senior and junior brothers and sisters were mostly high-grade Great Golden Immortals, but whether there were more Quasi Holy Emperors was unknown.

Not to mention, when the Ice Toad Emperor’s master, the original owner of the Origin Star Palace, returned, could the current three Emperors match her?

Yu Bing, dressed in a magnificent and elegant robe, said, “If our sect could produce one or two more Quasi Holy Emperors, we could not only solidify our position in the alliance but also counter other hostile forces. Facing the Origin Star Palace in the future wouldn’t be so daunting.”

The women were slightly surprised but then felt that this possibility was not impossible. Xinyu Emperor’s junior sisters had been at the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm for thousands of years. Their talents were top-notch, but they lacked the opportunity and fortune to break through.

Xuebing Xuan said softly, “Such things cannot be forced; it all depends on fate.”

Luo Wanqing’s bright starry eyes shone as she sat up straight and said, “I don’t know about others, but our Junior Brother is destined to become a Quasi Holy Emperor, and not just any Quasi Holy Emperor.”

Cheng Yulan, with her cold and ethereal demeanor, sighed slightly, “I don’t doubt Junior Brother will become a Quasi Holy, but the time needed is uncertain. I just hope he can make it in time!”

No one knew how long it would take for the Origin Star Palace’s master to return, perhaps a thousand years, or maybe just a few years.

Xuebing Xuan pondered, “I heard from Master that the two from Lu Palace and Qingqiu Hall also sent envoys to contact her. I don’t know what they talked about, but if they join us, Junior Brother’s safety will be more assured.”

Lu Palace and Qingqiu Hall, both female Dao lineages, also had Quasi Holy Emperors. Otherwise, they couldn’t have maintained their status and influence as Supreme Dao Lineages for so many years.

If the five female Dao lineages in the Great Void formed a secret alliance, with five Quasi Holy Emperors as their backing, it would indeed provide Qing Muling with more time for safe growth.

Luo Wanqing snorted, “I don’t mind having two more Quasi Holy Emperors, but if they send more vixens to Junior Brother, what can we do? Can Master stop them?”

The women were speechless. This was bound to happen. If they didn’t get benefits from Junior Brother, why would they try so hard to join?

As for the ancient Kylin clan, Great Brahma Temple, and Dragon Tiger Pill Cauldron Sect, they were even more troublesome.

Qi Shuyu and Su Yunmo exchanged glances. Were those vixens addicted to plucking wool? Were they targeting the only sheep, Junior Brother, to pluck?

Just thinking about it was frustrating.

“Well, let’s not talk about this for now.”

Qi Yalan glanced at them, a faint smile on her jade face, “As long as we improve our cultivation, no matter how many vixens come, they can’t shake our position. After all, we were the first to follow Junior Brother, and our place in his heart is naturally different.”

Xuebing Xuan nodded and said, “After these days of secluded cultivation, our cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Xuan Immortal realm and touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal laws. When Junior Brother returns next time, we will go back to the sect with him and cross the tribulation under his protection.”

“The key is that he is already at the peak of the Ascending to Immortality realm and can break through to the Elemental Immortal realm. After crossing the tribulation, he can dual cultivate with multiple Golden Immortal Dao Companions, and his growth will be faster.”

In the nearly two years spent in the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, with abundant rare resources and the power of the Creation Heavenly Palace, Qing Muling’s cultivation was within reach of the Elemental Immortal realm.

Because Xuebing Xuan, Luo Huan, Qi Yalan, Cheng Yulan, and Fengxia had followed Qing Muling earlier, they were the first to complete the Xuan Immortal path and would soon trigger the Golden Immortal tribulation, becoming genuine Golden Immortal-level experts.

Of course, this was also due to the unprecedented treasure, the Creation Heavenly Palace. Even with Qing Muling, it would have taken them more years to touch the Golden Immortal realm.

Luo Wanqing and Yu Bing were slightly slower, currently at the late Xuan Immortal level. Kong Yuhuan was at the late True Immortal level, while Dragon Ritual Princess had reached the sixth-grade Golden Immortal level. As for Su Yuanzhen, who was the protector of the princess, she was already a thirty-grade Golden Immortal before following Qing Muling and had now reached the Great Perfection of the thirty-three-grade Golden Immortal.

If not for deliberately suppressing her cultivation, Su Yuanzhen could have attempted to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. She was eager to dual cultivate with Qing Muling, so she had been holding back.

Qingchan Fairy had not yet officially dual cultivated with Qing Muling but had benefited greatly, reaching the late Xuan Immortal realm. Tongying Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with this and often complained to Xinyu Emperor.

…

Bright Moon Sword Sect Main Altar.

Outside the Mountain Protection Array, Sect Master Lin Xuanyuan led a group of Core Elders to welcome the delegation from Qing Shen Palace.

Accompanied by faint enchanting music, a large area of pink light filled the sky for thousands of miles. Twelve huge heavenly boats flew through the air, with countless pink petals falling and a sweet fragrance filling the surroundings.

The heavenly boats were over three thousand feet long, decorated luxuriously with countless large pearls and gems, and adorned with indescribable hot beauty patterns, making one’s heart flutter and thoughts wander.

Soon, the heavenly boats slowed down and hovered in the air.

The cabin doors opened, and two rows of female cultivators, dressed in transparent veils and with extremely beautiful and enchanting appearances, lined up and walked out, totaling over three thousand. Judging by their cloud-like hair ornaments, they were all inner disciples of Qing Shen Palace.

Then, a tall and graceful dignified beauty descended, her dark palace dress adorned with stars and pearls, carrying a strange charm. Those with lower cultivation would find their divine souls involuntarily drawn in if they stared at her for too long.

This was the current Sect Master of Qing Shen Palace: Yuli Immortal Venerable.

Behind her followed several stunningly beautiful and naturally seductive young girls, her personal disciples, holding the title of Saintess in the sect.

“Yuli Daoist, long time no see!”

Lin Xuanyuan greeted her with a friendly smile.
