Just as the chaotic beast was about to close in on the starship, a massive phantom of a Blue Lotus suddenly appeared. Its serene and lofty Dao Rhyme aura spread out, exuding an unparalleled majesty that seemed to overlook all things.

The chaotic creature, resembling an ancient demon ape, suddenly froze. It was as if some primal memory deep within its body had been awakened, causing its entire form to tremble uncontrollably. A rare look of awe and fear appeared in its four pale eyes.

However, Qingyao Immortal Venerable wouldn’t give it the chance to daze. Seizing this rare opportunity, she unleashed a torrent of sword energy, shattering its protective black cloud and severing its dozen slender claws, which spewed a large amount of black blood before being annihilated by the destructive sword intent.

Next, its head was severed, followed by numerous deep, bone-revealing wounds splitting open on its body.

The intense pain jolted the beast awake, and it let out a piercing, furious roar. Its entire body glowed with a dark light, its head reattached, and its wounds began to heal rapidly, with severed limbs regenerating swiftly.

The price for healing its wounds was a sudden drop in its aura, which only began to recover after a few breaths.

“Lost the initiative and still thinking of a comeback?”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable chuckled lightly, her sword light entwining the beast like a bone-attached maggot, once again reducing its body to a stump. Terrifying lightning swept over, clinging to its surface and accumulating thickly in an instant.

In the next moment, a world-shaking explosion erupted, and the beast’s resentful, unwilling curses quickly faded into silence.

When the lightning dissipated, only a head-sized, radiant black crystal remained, releasing a vast and abundant life force. It was the condensed life essence of the creature.

“Is that it? This big guy wasn’t so tough after all!”

“That’s because of your special methods, Junior Brother. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to face it alone. Being able to drive it away within a few hundred rounds would already be a good result. Killing it would be extremely difficult!”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable explained, waving her hand to retrieve the crystal and tossing it to Qing Muling.

The phantom of the Harmony Creation Blue Lotus seemed to have a bloodline suppression effect on such high-level chaotic beasts, affecting its normal performance. Otherwise, even if it couldn’t defeat Qingyao Immortal Venerable, escaping wouldn’t have been a problem.

Qing Muling took the crystal, examined it, and then sent it into the depths of the Blue Lotus phantom. This was the entire life essence of a Quasi Holy Emperor equivalent to a severed two-corpses incarnation.

Soon, the Blue Lotus phantom grew even brighter, and the chaotic radiance enveloping the Blue Lotus itself became thicker. Star-like crystal lights swirled around, exuding a rich life force and the fragrance of lotus seeds, along with fragments of profound Dao Rhyme. The nineteenth phantom of a Blue Lotus leaf seemed to be starting to take shape.

The boundaries of the internal space wriggled slightly, beginning to expand again. When it stabilized, it had reached a size of over two hundred thousand miles in radius.

This growth was due to the continuous devouring and refining of numerous chaotic beasts along the way, making the internal space more complete and capable of easily carrying and transporting those floating lands to designated locations.

Perhaps, upon returning, he could use the advantage of his internal space to transport all the abandoned, dead lands around the Main Altar of the Sect and integrate them with the void land.

Then, using the abilities of the Heavenly Palace Paradise, he could transform and purify them into top-notch worlds. It wouldn’t take long to create a massive land of a hundred billion miles, comparable to the Dao Court’s pivotal location.

Generally speaking, the larger the land, the more favorable the environment, with more abundant spiritual energy and enough spirit veins and springs to meet the needs of more cultivators.

With the increasing number of high-level female cultivators in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, along with the continuous promotion of inner and core disciples, the demand for spiritual resources and worlds was rising. Therefore, this matter needed to be planned and acted upon quickly.

Suppressing his thoughts, Qing Muling refocused his attention. Qingyao Immortal Venerable had already successfully retrieved the crimson jade Ruyi from the chaotic void and completed its initial refinement and recognition, playing with it fondly.

“It’s indeed a good item. I’ll take it this time. Next time we find something suitable for you, it’ll be yours. How does that sound, Junior Brother?”

“Alright, let’s do that.”

Qing Muling nodded. The jade Ruyi was indeed fine, but its overly luxurious and delicate appearance seemed more suitable for a female cultivator. It felt odd for him, a man, to hold it.

The starship continued to navigate through the chaotic tides. Qing Muling occasionally manifested the Blue Lotus phantom, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of divining the heavenly secrets, allowing them to avoid dangerous areas. However, they never missed suitable spirit treasures when they found them.

“Senior Sister, can the Grand Palace Master of Phoenix Palace move freely in the chaos of the vast void?”

Qing Muling asked. With Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s cultivation, she was a renowned figure even in the upper realm. Yet, in the chaos of the vast void, she still had to be cautious, avoiding overly powerful chaotic beasts.

“Still not possible,”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable shook her head. “Even someone like the master of Origin Star Palace wouldn’t dare claim invincibility in the chaos of the vast void. Perhaps only a true Harmony Saint Supreme could be so unrestrained.”

Even if the master of Origin Star Palace was stronger, his status couldn’t be higher than Junior Brother’s. When he grows in the future, perhaps he could treat the chaos of the vast void as his backyard.

Qingyao Immortal Venerable thought to herself.

In the countless long years past, many powerful figures had fallen or disappeared in the chaos of the vast void. Even Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s grandmaster had vanished in the chaos of the vast void shortly after she started her cultivation journey.

Later, her master met the same fate, severely injured while seeking opportunities in the chaos of the vast void, and soon after returning, he dissipated his cultivation and passed away.

Even the Grand Palace Master of Phoenix Palace in the upper realm had fallen in the past. So, any great figure daring to enter the depths of the chaos of the vast void must be prepared for death.

Of course, with the Harmony Creation Blue Lotus by her side, her fortune and fate had skyrocketed, giving her an immense advantage that even the master of Origin Star Palace couldn’t match. Seeking opportunities in the chaos of the vast void was naturally smooth and successful.

Not long after, Qing Muling made another discovery.

In the depths of a chaotic vortex over ten million miles in diameter, a lively, emerald-green spring quietly floated. The surrounding area of several thousand miles was calm, filled with the pure essence of Innate Supreme Yin Water.

A top-tier innate spiritual item, seemingly of a higher grade than the jade Ruyi?

The chaotic beasts guarding the spring were two ten-thousand-foot-long creatures resembling hybrid shark-dragons. Under the suppression of the Harmony Creation Blue Lotus’s laws, Qingyao Immortal Venerable killed them within a few rounds.

“It’s a good item, but unfortunately not suitable for you, Junior Brother!”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable said as she retrieved the spring and quickly understood its use. It was somewhat similar to the primordial mother liquid won from Mu Yinghua and Huaqing Divine Palace, but of a much higher grade.

Its main function was to cleanse and reshape the root and Dao foundation for female cultivators, establishing a perfect cultivation physique. It also had excellent effects in healing and prolonging life. If brought back to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and properly placed, it would add another layer of foundation to the sect.

“No problem, Senior Sister, you keep it!”

Qing Muling said indifferently. As a man, this item was indeed unsuitable for him, unless he wanted to become a female cultivator, which was obviously impossible.

The journey continued smoothly, and they collected over twenty more innate spirit treasures and items of average quality, more than half of which were sacrificed to the Harmony Creation Blue Lotus.

With Qing Muling and Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s current standards, mid-grade or lower innate spirit treasures and items were generally considered average quality. Unless they had special effects, they weren’t worth keeping and were directly sacrificed.

If other Quasi Holy Emperors saw their extravagant actions, they would probably be heartbroken and curse endlessly.

They carefully navigated the chaos of the vast void, fighting various fierce beasts, often risking injury or death, and only after great effort would they find one or two satisfactory items, celebrating their success.

In comparison, Qing Muling and Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s actions seemed like those of the well-fed who didn’t understand the hunger of the starving.

“Hey? What’s this…”

As the starship passed through a vast expanse of colorful magnetic light and fire clouds, Qingyao Immortal Venerable exclaimed in surprise.

It was a thousand-foot-tall, solemn, and heavy seal-shaped spirit treasure, entirely blue-gold in color. At the top of the seal was a lifelike sculpture of an unknown auspicious beast, exuding a supreme, unmatched aura, like an emperor commanding the heavens and earth.

The chaotic beast guarding this innate spirit treasure was a massive creature resembling a Basalt. Even with Qing Muling’s suppression, Qingyao Immortal Venerable and her two incarnations struggled for hundreds of rounds before finally killing it and retrieving the seal.

“Thirty-one innate Harmony treasure inscriptions, and it’s a treasure specifically for suppressing fortune and enhancing destiny. Junior Brother, you’re in luck!”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable said joyfully. With nine innate Harmony treasure inscriptions as the threshold, nine or fewer were considered low-grade innate spirit treasures, eighteen or fewer were mid-grade, and twenty-seven or fewer were high-grade.

With twenty-eight or more, it was considered a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure. This seal was a rare treasure, even among the superpowers in the upper realm.

Qing Muling took the seal, and as he immersed his mind into it, he found it indeed extraordinary. Not only did it have incredible defensive power, but it also contained a hidden cave mystical realm of tens of thousands of miles. The seal’s surface was covered in golden light of merit and thick purple energy, forming auspicious clouds, exuding unparalleled majesty.

In the vast void, strands of golden and purple energy continuously gathered, merging into the seal like rivers into the sea. Long-term possession of this treasure would continuously enhance the owner’s fortune, destiny, and talents, with countless benefits.

“Not bad, I’ll gladly accept it!”

Qing Muling said with satisfaction. After refining the seal, some profound and obscure information quietly entered his sea of consciousness, revealing the treasure’s various functions and control methods.

“Junior Brother, do you think we can find a supreme-grade innate treasure this time?”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable asked with a smile. Supreme treasures often had some mysterious connection, and with Qing Muling by her side, perhaps it was possible?

“I can’t guarantee that, it depends on our fortune!”

Qing Muling said cautiously. He could promise to do his best, but whether they would find ideal treasures depended on fate.

Qingyao Immortal Venerable gave him a charming look. She was increasingly satisfied with her little man. When she started her cultivation journey under her master’s guidance, she never thought she would find a Dao Companion one day.

Now, not only had she found a Dao Companion, but he was the incarnation of the Harmony Creation Blue Lotus, a unique opportunity that no great figure in the upper realm could compare to. In time, those self-important individuals would be surpassed by her!

Junior Brother is mine, no one can take him away! Not even the master of Origin Star Palace!

Qingyao Immortal Venerable thought to herself.

The starship continued forward, and after an unknown period, a bubble-like object with a diameter of over thirty million miles appeared at the edge of their perception.

“We’re here!”

Qingyao Immortal Venerable exhaled. “This is one of the significant opportunities I discovered while traveling in the chaos of the vast void before ascending to the upper realm. It wasn’t fully formed then, so I didn’t rush to retrieve it. It should be ready now.”

At the core of the “bubble,” layers of purple energy formed a curtain, with golden clouds covering it, radiating a magnificent glow.

A massive formation flag, over ten thousand feet tall, neither gold nor jade, with black and silver hues, floated atop the purple clouds. The flag was adorned with countless sun, moon, and star patterns, and as it gently waved, beams of cold, mysterious starlight shot out from the depths of the chaotic tides, silently merging into the flag.

Qing Muling glanced at it. This formation flag seemed similar to the seal, with over thirty innate Harmony treasure inscriptions. He wondered if he could take it back for his Second Senior Sister, Cheng Yulan, who was skilled in formations.

But with so many senior sisters watching, if one benefited, the others wouldn’t let it go easily. Better not!

Following the same method, they killed the chaotic beast guarding the treasure. But just as Qingyao Immortal Venerable was about to retrieve the formation flag, a rough, muffled voice suddenly rang out:

“Good stuff! My luck is really good this time!”

As he spoke, a massive hand, formed from layers of deathly gray clouds, appeared, reaching for the formation flag!

Instantly, Qingyao Immortal Venerable’s face turned icy cold.
