In the headmaster's cave.
On the high platform, Mu Yinghua was sitting on a bed of clouds, her whole body looked majestic, her figure was shrouded in brilliant rays of light, the clouds were lingering, and her face was obscured by shadows.
Led by Cheng Yulan, Qi Yalan, and Luo Wanqing, three direct disciples of the headmaster, dozens of senior core disciples saluted Mu Yinghua, and there were also many senior elders present to witness.
Mu Yinghua didn't say much, and with a wave of her jade hand, an exquisite white jade talisman tube appeared in front of many female disciples, with dozens of talismans placed inside.
"Okay, you all come and draw lots!"
Mu Yinghua's voice was soft and quiet: "Those whose talisman is red can become my junior brother's Taoist companion. Those who are not selected need not be disappointed and can wait for the next opportunity."
The rules are simple and clear, and there are no loopholes, so the elders have no objections.
Seeing that Mu Yinghua had taken out the lotus tube and the talisman, Qi Shuyu felt a little uneasy, but considering that the other party was the Supreme Leader after all, she should not be able to do anything with her status, so she didn't say anything.
"Then let me go first!"
Cheng Yulan said, walking over and reaching out to take out a talisman.
Just as Qi Yalan was about to step forward, Su Yunmo, who was smiling brightly, moved lightly, seemingly slowly but quickly, and drew the second talisman ahead of her, and then Qi Shuyu.
Luo Wanqing frowned. Are these foxy people afraid that they will fall behind others, so they don't even hold back in drawing lots? Sure enough, they are all a bunch of scheming bitches, and they will make them angry just by looking at them!
Well, the term "scheming bitch" was coined by my junior brother, and Luo Wanqing felt that it was the most appropriate word to describe this group of foxy bitches.
It didn't take long, and all the core disciples present had drawn the talisman.
"Okay, open it now!"
Mu Yinghua said calmly.
The girls looked at each other and carefully opened the talisman one by one.
"Blank?"
Qi Shuyu's face changed slightly, and she stared at the talisman in her hand again and again. After confirming that she had not won the bid, her eyes suddenly darkened.
The rest of the senior sisters were in the same situation. In the end, only the talisman in Qi Yalan's hand showed a bright red color, which meant that she became the winner of this round of drawing.
"Is there going to be a problem?"
Su Yunmo muttered in a low voice. No one else was hit, but the direct disciple of the Supreme Leader was hit. To say that Mu Yinghua was not secretly partial, she really didn't believe in evil.
Tianjun Yueyi next to him said casually: "Do you want to doubt the impartiality of the leader?"
Su Yunmo's pretty face changed slightly, and she quickly bowed and apologized: "Disciple doesn't dare!"
The supreme orthodoxy that has been passed down for millions of years, the sect's laws are strict, and there is a clear distinction between superior and inferior. If the disciples of the younger generation dare to openly question the supreme leader, the crime will not be particularly serious once it is confirmed.
Qi Shuyu sighed and said helplessly: "Congratulations to Senior Sister Qi."
It doesn't matter if you admit defeat now. The worst thing you can do is wait for the next draw. If you piss off the headmaster, you might not have another chance in the future.
Mu Yinghua nodded slightly and said to Qi Yalan: "In that case, you can go back and prepare, and set off to meet Qin Muling tomorrow. Now the demon clan's catastrophe is approaching, and the outside is dangerous and unpredictable. The safety of my junior brother depends on you.
You have to work hard when you become a senior sister."
"Disciple understands."
Qi Yalan suppressed the joy in her heart and respectfully agreed.
Mu Yinghua pondered for a moment and continued: "As for Cheng Yulan and Luo Wanqing, you two can go together this time, and your junior brother will protect you after you survive the catastrophe of Yuanxian and then come back."
She considered that these two disciples had already reached the perfect state of ascending to the Immortal Realm, and there was no need to delay it any longer. She should achieve Yuanxian Dao Fruit as soon as possible. With stronger cultivation, she would be more sure of self-protection in the catastrophe.
.
"Disciple, obey."
The two girls couldn't help but agreed. Although they couldn't practice with their junior brother immediately, it was a good result to be able to survive the catastrophe of Yuanxian first.
Qi Shuyu and the other girls looked at each other, feeling quite disappointed. The ones with the highest cultivation among them were only in the Ascension realm, and were still far away from the Yuanxian realm. If they wanted to catch up with these few, they would have to wait.
It's really depressing to think about it. Before Qin Muling entered the sect, Xue Bingxuan and the other four direct disciples of the headmaster didn't have much advantage compared to them. Everyone's cultivation was basically at the same level. In the end, it was just a few
Years of effort? The gap is actually so huge?
Yu Lingzhou next to him asked thoughtfully: "Headmaster, Qin Muling is now in the True First Realm, and his energy is increasing day by day. His ability to protect his fellow senior sisters should be even stronger. I remember there are some elders from the previous generation, they
Many of them have already reached the threshold of Yuanxian, why not take advantage of this opportunity and let them pass it together?"
When Mu Yinghua took over the important task from the previous headmaster, the tens of thousands of core disciples of her generation would all have their own affiliations. Those with high enough cultivation could serve as core elders, those with lower cultivation could serve as ordinary powerful elders, and those with lower cultivation could serve as ordinary elders.
For ordinary people, they can only become inner sect elders, or deacons at all levels. The sect's key training targets will be transferred to the next generation of disciples.
All the supreme sects in the Taixu Star Sky have almost the same rules. These core disciples of the previous generation who have lost the qualification to compete for the teachings can also continue to practice and improve. If their cultivation reaches a certain level, they still have the opportunity to be promoted and become a sect.
An integral part of combat power.
Many of these disciples of Mu Yinghua's contemporaries, as well as the elders of previous generations, have reached the perfection of ascending to the Immortal Realm. This is because the resources prepared to overcome the tribulation are not enough, or they are not confident enough to withstand the terrifying world.
The test of calamity, so I have been stuck in cultivation until now.
After several generations of sect members have been accumulated, their absolute number is not small. If they have Qin Muling's help, it will be a matter of course for them to survive the catastrophe. And with such a group of strong men in the Yuanxian realm in the sect, the overall strength
It will definitely be further improved.
Mu Yinghua glanced at Yu Lingzhou and asked, "How many people are there in total?"
Yu Lingzhou took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to her. It contained the names of all the people who needed to overcome the tribulation. Not only those in the Yuanxian realm, but also many in the True Immortal and Mysterious Immortal realms.
Mu Yinghua shook her head when she saw it: "There are too many. It's impossible to send them all right now, right? Well, let's pick out fifty first, and let them wait for the rest."
There are too many people who need to protect Qin Muling through the tribulation, and the consumption of Qin Muling's luck will be unbearable, and it will not be easy to recover afterwards, so now Mu Yinghua does not want to worry too much about this direct disciple.
Yu Lingzhou nodded: "Okay, let's go to fifty first, and then consider the remaining candidates after Qin Muling's cultivation level is further improved. However, there are also many disciples who have reached the Destiny Realm and plan to attack the Ascension Realm, so why not also choose them?
Two hundred people come out?"
After the Destiny Realm is completed, there are two transitional realms: becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality. They also need to go through the test of the Heavenly Tribulation. Of course, the difficulty is much less than that of the Yuanxian Tribulation. The consumption of Qin Muling's luck is very small and can basically be ignored.
Excluding.
Mu Yinghua nodded in approval: "Very good, let's settle it like this! However, the price must be totaled, and a regulation should be drawn up. In the future, when any members of the sect need to overcome the tribulation, they can follow this procedure."
If you want to ask Qin Muling to help protect you from the tribulation, you will naturally have to promise a corresponding reward. It is impossible to have prostitution for free. Although Mu Yinghua is the supreme leader and takes the overall situation of the sect as the primary consideration in everything, she will never let Qin Muling go to waste.
Suffer.
Two days later.
In the palace square, Qin Muling couldn't help but look stiff as she watched the many beautiful high-level female cultivators fly out of the Tianzhou Tower ship.
"Junior brother, this is what happened..."
Fortunately, Yu Lingzhou, who came with him, quickly explained the reason, which made Qin Muling relieved. He was just helping to tide over the disaster, and he could get a lot of reward, so he could still help.
"This should be just the first batch, there are many more to come, right?" Qin Muling asked.
Yu Lingzhou nodded calmly: "Absolutely, so you have to worry more about it next. As long as they can successfully overcome the disaster, the overall strength of the sect will definitely be greatly improved again!"
Any Taoist force that has existed for a long time will have a large number of disciples with relatively mediocre qualifications. Their cultivation progress is slow, and they are usually responsible for a lot of tedious sect affairs. Their status may not seem very important, but it is
An indispensable backbone of the system.
Many of these people are not sure of being able to withstand the test of the heavenly tribulation. They can only waste time in their current state. They will not risk their lives until their life span is over. If they cannot survive the ashes, it is not a loss. What if?
If you are lucky enough to survive it, you will gain tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more years of freedom, which is considered a huge gain.
Yunmeng Tiangong has recovered a lot of strength now, but there is still a big gap compared to the old Supreme Order. The lack of combat power at the core level is an important reason.
If those disciples can successfully overcome the calamity under the protection of Qin Muling, the sect's available high-end combat power will inevitably experience an explosive growth, and by then the sum of the surrounding supreme sects may not be able to match it.
"So, when do they plan to start overcoming the tribulation?" Qin Muling asked again.
"It's better to catch the sun than to catch it, let's do it today!"
Qi Yalan rushed to say: "Now that the descendants of the demon clan are rampant outside, the sect's fighting strength is tight. Let them get through the catastrophe as soon as possible, and then rush back to help share the pressure. This is what the master told me."
Qin Muling glanced at the third senior sister speechlessly. She wanted to get rid of these foxy girls as soon as possible so that she could cultivate together with her, right?
However, what she said is also true. The situation in many places under the sect's jurisdiction is now very tight. If the elders of the previous generation had not cooperated with the large number of Taoist puppet legions to support them, the number of casualties would have been shocking.
That's how things were settled.
The accompanying Supreme Elders selected a large enough, deserted and dead land mass, simply set up a tribulation formation, and began to let their disciples survive the tribulation.
The first batch was of an experimental nature, consisting of twenty core disciples from the previous generation who had perfected the Destiny Realm. Qin Muling sat in the middle of the magic circle, watching them carefully unlock the seals in their bodies, release their breath, and interact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Cause catastrophe.
In an instant, the wind and clouds were turbulent, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Above the dark sky, billowing black clouds gathered quickly, and the bright and blood-red thunder meandered and beat deep in the clouds.
The surrounding wind suddenly picked up, and countless mysterious and mysterious black shadows lingered around, as if a group of bloodthirsty sharks were watching. Once they got the chance, they would pounce and bite madly. This was the outside area that the monks were most afraid of.
Demon.
Dozens of miles away, many elders and disciples who had not yet passed through the tribulation nervously watched the changes in the field, not daring to express their anger.
In the past, such a method was unheard of and there was no precedent to follow. Therefore, the elders present were not sure whether it would work or not.
If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, the loss will be extraordinary.
Yu Lingzhou stared solemnly at the reaction of the thick calamity cloud above his head. The natal spiritual treasure in his body was ready to go, ready to rush into the formation and snatch Qin Muling out if the situation changed.
A moment later, as a bright light flashed across the sky, the first deep purple thunder finally fell with a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, locking onto the figures of the disciples.
After the suffocating explosion, violent air waves spread to the surrounding areas, flying sand and rocks, and the sky was darkened.
When the aftermath subsided, Qin Muling was still sitting where he was. The twenty disciples around him were also safe and sound, and their big bright eyes were full of doubts.
Obviously, the power of the catastrophe was far lower than their expectations, so that they could bear it without much effort, which made them feel a little unreal.
Then came the second one, the third one...the tribulation thunders fell one after another, but the intervals were a bit long, and the lethality was not even 30% of the normal level, which was almost child's play.
"...Well, it seems it's stable this time!"
Yu Lingzhou felt relieved a little. The headmaster's estimation was correct. Qin Muling had never let her down.
“It’s unbelievable, it really works!”
"I really didn't expect that there is such a person in the sect. I originally gave up hope myself, but I thought I would try again when my life is about to end, but now I can easily pass it!"
"Think about how many sisters fell under the calamity in the past. Now that Qin Muling is here, the senior sisters in the sect no longer have to worry about the calamity."
"That's right, if Qin Muling becomes the next generation of supreme leader, he will be able to protect the entire sect. Maybe even the foxy ones in the other orthodox traditions will have to ask him for help in order to overcome the calamity!"
"Who says it isn't?"
…
Many female cultivators around him were talking about it. Since Mu Yinghua had strictly blocked the news, they knew very little about Qin Muling before. Now that they had seen his monster and extraordinary qualities for the first time, they were naturally shocked.
When they think of the countless disciples of Yunmeng Tiangong who will no longer face the threat of heavenly calamity and the bright prospect of rapidly expanding their strength, even the Supreme Elders can't help but feel excited.
More than an hour later, the calamity clouds in the sky began to slowly disperse, marking the complete success of this group's mission to overcome the calamity.
