For the next two months, Yunji Peak was shrouded in pitch-black tribulation clouds and thunderous rain of fire. One wave would barely subside before another began, seemingly without end.

Moreover, numerous terrifying extraterrestrial demons lurked, ready to pounce at any moment to disrupt the foundation and devour the blood of cultivators. A single misstep could lead to inner demons, resulting in the soul scattering and body perishing.

The terror of the Golden Immortal tribulation was well-known. In the past, even peak Xuan Immortals who had accumulated enough and were well-prepared, with the protection of their sect elders, had a success rate of less than one in a hundred.

Countless prodigies, who were highly anticipated and full of potential, had failed at the final hurdle of achieving the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, turning tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation into nothing.

Only now, with Qing Muling’s protection, did the difficulty of crossing the tribulation significantly decrease. This allowed the female immortals who had endured at the peak of the Xuan Immortal realm for millions of years to finally dare to take the plunge.

And the final results did not disappoint them.

With Qing Muling’s current fortune and destiny, he could protect up to one hundred and fifty female immortals per batch through the Golden Immortal tribulation. Thus, with each passing day and night, the sect would gain one hundred and fifty genuine Golden Immortals.

For any Supreme Dao Lineage power, Golden Immortals were considered high-end strategic forces. Their numbers directly affected the sect’s status and influence, as even Supreme Dao Lineages were ranked.

Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had accumulated over a million years, with more than seven thousand female immortals stuck at the peak of the Xuan Immortal realm, too afraid to cross the tribulation. Now, all of them could successfully pass with his protection.

As for the Goddess Sect and Qinghuan Emperor’s faction, they had even more peak Xuan Immortals needing to cross the tribulation, but they would have to wait their turn.

From Qing Muling’s standpoint, the interests of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace must come first. Only those female immortals whose lifespans were nearing their end and could no longer delay would be given priority.

Moreover, even close allies had to settle accounts clearly. The female immortals from those two factions would have to pay sufficient compensation to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and Qing Muling himself for crossing the tribulation. Free rides were out of the question.

However, this time, Qing Muling only planned to work for two months, covering nine thousand Golden Immortal slots, of which two thousand would be allocated to the other two factions, and the rest to the female immortals of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.

After that, he would go into seclusion at Fengge Emperor’s cave dwelling to see if he could help this ancestor take that crucial step. Only if she broke through to the Quasi Holy Emperor realm could Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace maintain its leading position in the alliance and avoid being suppressed by the other two factions.

“Lu Palace and the two from Qingqiu Hall have already sent their visiting cards a few days ago, saying they want to visit together and bring their saintess successors. Their intentions are obvious,” Shepherd Ying softly told Fengge Emperor, her jade-like face showing a hint of frustration.

Why were they coming? It was obviously for Qing Muling.

She had finally accepted a satisfactory personal disciple, and she hadn’t even had a chance to enjoy it herself. Yet, so many vixens from outside were eyeing him, coming one after another, making Shepherd Ying feel immense pressure.

“It’s to be expected, nothing to be upset about,” said Fengge Emperor, her tall and graceful figure exuding natural majesty, her beautiful face blooming like a flower. “After all these years, our female Supreme Dao Lineages have mostly advanced and retreated together. With the impending great upheaval in the Great Void, banding together is only natural. Sect Master, there’s no need to be conflicted. We’ll be together for a long time.”

“Yes, Ancestor,” Shepherd Ying sighed, suppressing her disappointment. With Qinghuan Emperor and the Goddess Sect already involved, adding two more factions wouldn’t make much difference. With Qing Muling as the key link, this alliance would be unprecedentedly stable.

The five Supreme female Dao Lineages, each with a peak Quasi Holy Emperor, had a combined total of over 1.5 billion female disciples. This didn’t include the hundreds of times more peripheral members, various vassal forces, merchant organizations, secular dynasties, city-states, and countless ordinary beings.

In short, this newly formed alliance would be unprecedentedly powerful, even surpassing the Dao Court and Calamity Fate Palace, challenging even the ancient clans with their deep heritage.

With vast resources as a backing, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had been massively expanding its new generation of disciples in recent years. As long as they met the requirements for character and aptitude and had guaranteed loyalty, they were all accepted.

Even those with average aptitude but outstanding fortune could gain entry into the sect, though Qing Muling had to personally screen them.

By now, the number of miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was comparable to other Supreme female Dao Lineages. Given time, it would further expand.

However, in this vast alliance, Qing Muling was the only official male disciple, his unique status and authority unanimously recognized by all the high-level members, allowing him to act almost without restraint.

Such a unique existence had never been seen before and likely never would again.

“Let them come in five months,” Fengge Emperor finally said. “After the tribulation, Muling and I will go into seclusion for three months. With the time-accelerating formation array, it should be enough. I have a good feeling about this time. After all, I’ve accumulated enough over the years, only lacking a special opportunity.”

“That’s good to hear!” Shepherd Ying nodded. Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace desperately needed a second Quasi Holy Emperor. Otherwise, facing a four-to-one situation, they would inevitably be suppressed, and even Qing Muling might be taken away by the other factions.

Ice Falcon Tianjun smiled and said, “If the Emperor can successfully take that step, it will prove Muling’s ability to help the senior and junior sisters in the sect. The other seven will definitely be interested.”

Xinyu Emperor had eight junior sisters, all third-generation disciples of the sect’s founder, with deep bonds between them. They had all been stuck at the peak Great Golden Immortal realm for ages, with profound accumulations.

In theory, they all had the potential to achieve the Quasi Holy Emperor realm, given the right opportunity.

Shepherd Ying wasn’t confident, but Qing Muling had already given her many surprises. If he didn’t disappoint this time, Fengge Emperor would likely become the sect’s second Quasi Holy Emperor.

However, if Fengge Emperor succeeded, wouldn’t the same experience be applicable to the other senior and junior sisters? If all seven came to take advantage of Qing Muling, wouldn’t they drain him dry?

A soft glow appeared beside them, and the stunning figure of Xinyu Emperor emerged.

Shepherd Ying and Ice Falcon Tianjun quickly stood up to greet her.

Xinyu Emperor waved her hand and said, “It’s a good idea, but to ensure greater success, only Fengge can try this time. You two will have to wait.”

“Alright,” Shepherd Ying said, slightly disappointed, exchanging a glance with Ice Falcon Tianjun. Xinyu Emperor’s judgment was beyond their reach, and her arrangements must have a reason.

Ice Falcon Tianjun thought for a moment and asked, “Emperor, do you think Ancestor Fengge will succeed this time?”

Xinyu Emperor pondered briefly and held up three fingers, “About thirty percent chance, no more.”

“Thirty percent? That’s not bad!” Shepherd Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t that Fengge Emperor was lacking, but Qing Muling’s current cultivation was still too low. If he were at the True Immortal or, better yet, Xuan Immortal realm, the success rate would be much higher.

For now, it was worth a try. Even if it didn’t work this time, it would still help Fengge Emperor. Another attempt might lead to success.

Two months passed quietly.

As the tribulation clouds over Yunji Peak began to dissipate, Qing Muling was brought to Fengge Emperor’s cave dwelling by Shepherd Ying before he could even change his clothes.

After some careful instructions, Shepherd Ying and Ice Falcon Tianjun left, saying they needed to comfort his senior sisters. After all, they hadn’t seen him for months, and not sparring or cultivating with them would inevitably lead to some resentment.

Qing Muling breathed a sigh of relief. The so-called scenario of one master and three disciples wouldn’t happen for now. He couldn’t handle it yet, at least not until he reached the Golden Immortal realm.

As for helping Fengge Emperor break through, it would rely on the divine power of the Creation Heavenly Palace, enhanced Light of Dao Enlightenment, and Qing Muling’s supreme fortune. All these conditions combined might help her achieve her goal.

Soon, Fengge Emperor emerged in a beautiful crimson dress, her stunning face tinged with a blush. She wore no hairpins or ornaments, her ink-black hair cascading to her thighs, her snowy skin flawless. The low neckline of her crimson bodice struggled to contain her ample bosom, creating a deep cleavage.

Her flat abdomen, slender waist, and perfectly rounded hips led to long, shapely legs. The hem of her dress was short, leaving her jade-like feet bare, with pink toenails like pearls. Every detail, every line was exquisitely beautiful, like a flawless work of art.

Moreover, her jade feet had a strange allure. Qing Muling felt a surge of heat just by looking at them, an almost uncontrollable urge to hold and kiss them.

“Ancestor, I—”

Qing Muling started to speak, but Fengge Emperor gently covered his lips with her jade hand.

“Call me Senior Sister in private,” she said, her beautiful eyes filled with charm. Her voice, dignified yet soft, carried a hint of coquettishness. She then leaned in, her warm, voluptuous body pressing against him, and kissed him passionately.

After a moment of intimacy, Fengge Emperor reluctantly let go, her eyes shimmering as she asked softly, “Shall we start the Creation Heavenly Palace now?”

“Alright,” Qing Muling nodded. With a thought, the surroundings changed, and a grand, star-lit hall appeared.

As Qing Muling willed it, the vast starry sky on the dome began to shimmer, and a torrent of starlight descended, forming a hemispherical shield around them.

Dreamlike starlight enveloped them, soft as water, light as mist, filled with rich Dao Rhyme.

“This treasure is amazing,” Fengge Emperor murmured, then calmly removed her dress, revealing her flawless, jade-like body. As she moved, her perfect bosom trembled slightly, mesmerizing Qing Muling.

Despite having seen his senior sisters’ unparalleled beauty, Fengge Emperor’s allure was unique, her noble status adding to her charm.

Moreover, Fengge Emperor was more open than his master, not using blindfolds or restraints.

“Behave yourself, no naughty thoughts!” Fengge Emperor playfully flicked his forehead. “We’re here to cultivate, not fool around. Take off your clothes.”

Without waiting for him to move, she quickly undressed him, leaving them both bare.

Fengge Emperor then sat cross-legged, elegantly opening her arms. Qing Muling understood and sat in her lap, embraced tightly by her. Her warm breath tickled his ear.

Qing Muling: “!!!”

Who could resist this? Impossible!

But resist he must. His current cultivation couldn’t handle going all the way with Fengge Emperor. This was his limit unless he wanted to be completely drained.

“Senior Sister, let’s focus on cultivation,” he said, suppressing his urges. He activated his cultivation technique, and a pure, deep light enveloped them, expanding to a ten-meter radius before stabilizing into a bright halo.

“Incredible!” Fengge Emperor was amazed, having only heard about the Light of Dao Enlightenment from Shepherd Ying. Seeing it firsthand, she was deeply impressed by the Harmony Creation Blue Lotus’s power.

After a few moments, the Light of Dao Enlightenment contracted to a two-foot radius, its Dao Rhyme intensity increasing six or sevenfold.

Suppressing her excitement, Fengge Emperor held Qing Muling tighter and began to absorb the rich Dao Rhyme.

Starlight continuously fell, like fish gathering, entering her body. She felt her magical power rapidly depleting, accompanied by a refreshing, comfortable sensation.

The gray mist leaving her body contained impurities, tribulation, and karmic aura, which were quickly annihilated by the starlight.
