On the bank of the lake, which is as blue as a mirror, two extremely beautiful women with gorgeous and luxurious skirts are playing chess. Their expressions are focused, and it seems that they have been competing for a long time.
After a long time, as Emperor Xinyu gently dropped his son, Miao Xin, the Buddhist master of Dafanyin Temple, sighed quietly and reluctantly gave up.
"It's already the tenth round,"
Emperor Xinyu raised his head slightly and stared at the other party with his quiet beautiful eyes: "Since you lost, you must abide by the agreement and you are not allowed to try to trick him again in the future."
Miao Xin said helplessly: "Your cultivation level is higher than mine. In terms of heaven's calculations, naturally I can't compare with you. Isn't it natural to lose to you?"
She is not yet in the quasi-sage emperor realm, and she really has no chance of winning against Emperor Xinyu who is at his peak, losing ten games in a row.
Emperor Xinyu was unmoved: "Don't say more useless words like this. If you lose, you lose. Could it be that you are weak? Are you still reasonable?"
"That's true,"
Miao Xin said softly: "Since Qin Muling was discovered and retrieved by your master, it is an opportunity that belongs to Yunmeng Tiangong. I don't really want to poach you. However, the two families have been helping each other for so many years.
We have been working together on many major issues, so I think it is reasonable and reasonable to cooperate again on issues related to him."
"what you up to?"
"My master once mentioned to me that within a thousand years, I will definitely pass the final hurdle and be promoted to the quasi-sage realm. However, the great calamity is approaching now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. If I can't survive this hurdle,
, I might die."
"so what?"
"I need to rely on the power of his luck and fate to prove the truth in advance, so that I can have enough strength to withstand the disaster, just like his senior sisters."
Miao Xin has a calm attitude and does not hide her true plan. Speaking of this kind of thing, only Qin Muling can help her at the moment.
Due to the good relationship between the two orthodox traditions in the past, Miao Xin had been a guest at the main altar of Yunmeng Tiangong more than once in his early years. Naturally, he had met the Xue Bingxuan girls. At that time, he felt that their qualifications and destiny were only good.
, but far from reaching the current level.
Needless to say now, since Qin Muling can make a radical change in their fate, he should be able to do it too.
Emperor Xinyu shook his head gently: "It's impossible. The gap between your cultivation levels is too big. The risk to him is incalculable. At least we have to wait until he reaches the realm of Xuanxian before we can consider it."
"Furthermore, I don't need to say more about the value of the Quasi-Saint Emperor Dao Fruit? Why does Yunmeng Tiangong want to help you with such a big favor? Can you offer equivalent benefits in exchange?"
Blood brothers have settled accounts, let alone between two supreme orthodox families? No matter how good the relationship between the two parties was in the past, there is no reason for the prostitution to be in vain.
Miao Xin was silent for a moment and smiled slightly: "What you said makes sense. I can wait for him, and... Dafanyin Temple can certainly pay a sufficient price for this matter. Whether it is for him or Yunmeng Tiangong."
"I believe that the emperor will put the long-term interests of the two orthodox traditions first and make the most pragmatic choice. After all, if Dafanyin Temple collapses in the future, it will not be a good thing for Yunmeng Tiangong, right?"
Emperor Xinyu thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Then you go back and wait for the news. When he becomes a Xuanxian, you can come over and talk."
…
After the first group of female cultivators successfully overcame the tribulation, in the following months, the wind and clouds changed every day on Daodao Peak, with lightning and thunder, and the thick and dark clouds of tribulation dispersed and gathered again, gathered and dispersed again.
After all the female cultivators in the Destiny Realm have completed their tribulations, it will be the turn of the female cultivators who have reached the peak of the Immortal Realm to form a collective group to survive the tribulations. There will be 150 in each batch, three batches per day.
In other words, after one day and night, Yunmeng Heavenly Palace will have an additional four hundred and fifty Yuan Immortals.
Although Yuanxian is only the lowest level immortal in the hierarchy of immortals, its status and strength are still far beyond the reach of ordinary monks. Especially such a large number of Yuanxian is enough to significantly improve the overall strength of Yunmeng Heavenly Palace.
Logically speaking, such a big movement cannot be hidden from others. Some high-level spies dormant in the sect can easily see the abnormal situation above Daofeng.
It's just that Mu Yinghua foresaw this early and took strict and meticulous confidentiality measures for this purpose. With the cooperation of Emperor Xinyu, this step went smoothly.
All female cultivators who need to overcome the tribulation will be personally visited by Emperor Xinyu in batches and screened. Some hidden spies will be directly identified by her.
It is really rare in Taixu Starry Sky to successfully hide magical powers and secrets from an emperor in peak condition, unless it is done by another emperor, but it is difficult to do so without any clues.
Moreover, even female cultivators who have passed the screening test still need to take a Taoist oath, and the emperor will plant a ban in their bodies. They are not allowed to reveal Qin Muling's deeds to anyone. The ban is valid for one thousand years.
During this process, there were indeed thousands of secret works exposed under the eyes of Emperor Xinyu, and then cleaned up and dealt with, including those from various sects.
This move caused some of the remaining spies to remain silent, and they all chose to lie low, fearing that they would be targeted by the higher-ups of the sect. They basically belonged to a group of monks who had no need to survive the tribulation, so they have not been traced for the time being.
For the senior officials of Yunmeng Heavenly Palace, as long as An Ran hides this period of time and allows all the female cultivators who need to overcome the tribulation to successfully complete the tribulation, the matter will be considered complete.
Even if the higher-ups of the hostile forces heard the news afterwards, what could they do to Yunmeng Tiangong? The deal was already done. Faced with an opponent whose hard power had increased significantly, should we take the initiative to start a war and risk the collapse of the sect's foundation? Don't forget The calamity of the demon clan has not passed yet!
Therefore, nothing unexpected happened until the last batch of female cultivators ascending to the Immortal Realm survived the catastrophe on the Immortal Platform and transformed into the bodies of Yuanxian.
Next, the female cultivators at the peak of the Yuan Immortal stage will undergo the tribulation. After hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, the total number of them is more than 33,000.
This is a bit more difficult. With Qin Muling's current cultivation level, he can ensure that one batch of fifty female cultivators will survive the tribulation and complete the transformation of the True Immortal Law every day.
Speaking of which, among the old supreme Taoist forces, the number of monks who are stuck in their cultivation and dare not overcome the tribulation is only much greater than that of Yunmeng Tiangong. If they can successfully overcome the tribulation, the overall strength of the Taixu Starry Sky Cultivation World It will definitely jump to several big levels.
Of course, this is just a thought. Without a unique opportunity like Qin Muling, it is basically impossible for them to have a chance to pass the test of the heavenly tribulation. When their lifespan is exhausted, they will have to relax and die. Those with better luck may still leave behind a person. The remnants of the soul are reincarnated and rebuilt, and those who are unlucky will simply disappear into ashes and return to dust.
Therefore, in the eyes of the senior leaders of those forces, if their potential is exhausted and there is no hope of further advancement, the disciples are basically no different from cannon fodder. After the disaster of the demon clan comes, they are all sent everywhere as consumables.
Guarding the territory and being able to drag a corresponding number of enemies on the road before dying in battle is considered profitable.
Therefore, with each passing day, the strength of Yunmeng Tiangong is increasing rapidly, while the strength and foundation of other supreme Taoist powers are irreversibly declining.
After protecting tens of thousands of female cultivators at the peak of Yuanxian's tribulation, Qin Muling decided to retreat for three months to recover her damaged luck, spend time with her senior sisters, and let the innate Hongmeng spiritual seeds absorb and digest a wave of catastrophe.
force.
Master Mu Yinghua naturally agreed and arranged the time to speed up the magic circle. He is now the number one hero of Yunmeng Tiangong, and whatever he wants to do makes sense.
The effect of the magic circle is twenty times the time flow rate. After all, it is the first time for Qin Muling to try dual cultivation in the magic circle. It needs an adaptation period, so a higher time flow rate is not arranged. However, it will be enough by the end of this retreat.
His cultivation level has reached the peak of destiny realm.
In the eldest sister's boudoir.
On the large embroidery bed, after intense exercise, Qin Muling, who looked tired, let go of his hand and began to adjust his breath silently to recover.
A dual-cultivation Taoist monk has been promoted to the rank of True Immortal, and his fighting ability in the boudoir is naturally completely different. To an ordinary monk in the Destiny Realm, he is no different from a demon. That is to say, Qin Muling is extremely talented, otherwise he would still not be able to bear it.
Deep in the sea of consciousness, the shadow of the green lotus leaf bloomed with bright brilliance, and the pure vitality and essence rolled in, quickly integrating into Qin Muling's body, allowing his energy and spirit to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Thank you for your hard work, little junior brother!"
Luo Huan said softly, hugged Qin Muling and kissed her, waving slightly. On the table not far from the embroidered tent, a plate of fresh five-color lotus seeds flew over lightly. Her green and tender jade fingers gently picked up a piece of lotus seeds.
He picked up one of the pieces, held it in his mouth with a beautiful luster, and then leaned over to feed it to the little junior brother in his arms.
Enjoying the attentive and meticulous service of the senior sister, Qin Muling had fully recovered after a moment. He took out his jade communication talisman from under the pillow, injected it with mana to stimulate it, and began to check the latest news about important events inside and outside the sect.
[Yu Lingzhou: That Lord Miaoxin Buddha has gone back, as well as those from the Goddess Sect, Qingqiu Palace, and Luhua Palace. It is said that they plan to come back some time later. Of course, I hope they never come again.
!]
Those troublesome people have finally left?
Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Emperor Xinyu and Master were quite capable. They were sent away without having to step forward. Although there was no guarantee that they would give up, it was always good to be clean for a while.
[Fantasy Butterfly Fairy Lord: Listening to your tone, it sounds like someone is trying to steal your Taoist companion. Are you so nervous? 】
[Tianjun Yueyi: Originally, any foxy girl who wants to take advantage of my junior brother should not give them a good look! Our Yunmeng Tiangong has countless beauties, what kind of good woman do we not want? Do we need outsiders to worry about it? 】
[Fenghua Immortal Lord: Well, no matter what the considerations are, the various secrets of the little junior brother should not be known to outsiders, we just need to understand it ourselves. 】
…
[Mu Yinghua: No need to mention this matter anymore, let’s talk about the situation in the territories outside? 】
[Bingyuan Tianjun: There is nothing to say. The defense lines in various territories have been well defended recently. Those aliens have suffered too many casualties and have shown signs of slowing down their offensive, so there have been no major battles during this period. 】
[Yu Lingzhou: It should be the reinforcements we sent that played a role. Compared with the defense lines of other sects, the effective forces we can use now are indeed relatively abundant. 】
A few days ago, after a total of more than 100,000 female cultivators successfully survived the tribulation, they were arranged by Mu Yinghua to stay in the time-accelerating array for a few days, and then they successfully stabilized their realm.
Then, they were assigned to guard different territories to resist the invading demon descendants; or they were used as mobile support forces to rush to areas in danger at any time.
Yunmeng Tiangong suddenly gained so many effective forces, and the situation in many star regions under its control immediately improved significantly. Not only did the casualty rate of the disciples decrease significantly, but also a large number of demon descendants were killed.
It is foreseeable that as time goes by, Yunmeng Tiangong will not only be able to defend all territories, but also consider taking the initiative to launch a counterattack to regain those star areas that were once lost.
[Fantasy Butterfly Fairy Lord: Our defense here is good, but the other sects are not so good. I heard that a demon quasi-saint emperor appeared outside the sect's main altar in Jiuyou Senluo Palace, causing them heavy casualties. , even the mountain-protecting formation was almost breached!]
[Tianjun Yueyi: Jiuyou Senluodian’s luck is really unlucky. Why was he targeted by that terrifying monster? What happened next? 】
There is also a quasi-sage emperor sitting in Jiuyou Senluo Palace, but due to an old injury that has not healed, he can only exert about 70% of his strength.
[Fantasy Butterfly Fairy Lord: Their emperor used the sect's heavy weapons to fight back and severely damaged the invading demon emperor at the cost of his own injuries. This crisis was resolved, but it is difficult to say when the emperor will recover. , Unless the Taoist court is willing to lend a helping hand.】
[Yu Lingzhou: Although Jiuyou Senluodian belongs to the demonic power, it also obeys the orders of the Taoist court. Maybe we can get some support? 】
[Mu Yinghua: Indeed, it is true. I just received the news that Emperor Xuanyin of Daoting has promised to provide Jiuyou Senluo Palace with one billion heaven and earth merit aid, plus a batch of high-level resources, which should be enough for them to survive for a while. 】
…
"...If the situation permits in the future, can I take over this business? At the cost of collecting massive amounts of rare resources, I can help some monks from friendly forces overcome the calamity?"
Qin Muling asked thoughtfully.
The threat of the catastrophe of the demons is getting bigger and bigger, and even some of the old supreme orthodoxy are beginning to feel inadequate. In another two or three years, there may be more supreme orthodoxies overthrown.
After those Taoist forces are finished, the successful demon clan leaders can calmly gather more troops to besiege the remaining Supreme Taoist forces. The pressure on Yunmeng Tiangong will inevitably increase.
Therefore, while the situation has not worsened yet, we can help our allies to increase their strength, which will at least allow them to persist longer and share some firepower for Yunmeng Tiangong.
Next to Qin Muling, Xue Bingxuan, with a blushing face and a happy and comfortable expression, slightly propped up her beautiful and delicate body, and said softly:
"It's okay, but you have to be careful about this matter. The number of places granted each time should not be too many, and it is best to limit them to those below the True Immortal Realm, so as not to affect the long-term interests of our Yunmeng Heavenly Palace."
"I understand this. The specific regulations will be decided by the Master!"
Qin Muling said that in the face of the great calamity of the demon clan, it would be easy for these allies and orthodox forces to work together and deal with the outside world in unison.
But after the disaster has passed, it is difficult to say whether the relationship between the various Taoist forces will still be so harmonious.
Just like the relationship between countries in the secular world, there can be no eternal friendship, only eternal interests.
Qi Yalan, who was next to her, turned over lazily, her long and round legs pressing down on Qin Muling, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, like a well-fed cat, and she said in a tired voice:
"Let's not mention this matter for now. Tomorrow is the day to help the remaining Yuanxian overcome the tribulation. Once this is completed, we will go out to hunt the demons and earn merits from the world. How about it?"
After being promoted to the intermediate level of True Immortal, the senior sisters whose strength has greatly increased have not yet fought in a battle formation, so naturally they are eager to try it. It is said that this is also the only way to quickly improve their strength.
Cheng Yulan, who was beating his legs for him, raised his head and said, "Of course you can, but my junior brother still has to save the supreme elders who are sleeping in the secret realm of the cave. This matter must be completed before he can go out."
Qin Muling nodded: "There's no need to rush this matter, just take your time."
The next day, Daodao Peak, which had been silent for some time, became lively again.
The error has been corrected. By the way, I would like to inform book friends that Lord has been banned from the official website for a week and will not be lifted until the 21st. Therefore, I cannot reply to the comments of some enthusiastic book friends. I hope you can bear with me.
