After initially adapting to the majestic power brought by the improvement of his realm, Luo Huan opened his eyes and looked at Qin Muling beside him, only to find that his body was covered with a thin layer of thunder and lightning, which was slowly entering his body. His breath was different from the previous one. The calamity is exactly the same.
"Junior brother, you..."
Luo Huan couldn't help but look stunned. Could it be that part of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was actually absorbed by his junior brother? Isn’t this too incredible?
Qin Muling looked calm: "It is indeed what you think, senior sister. As for the specific reason, I can't explain it for a while, but you will gradually know it in the future."
"Oh, okay."
Thinking of Qin Muling's specialness, Luo Huan said nothing more. Maybe no matter what happens to his junior brother in the future, it won't be impossible, right?
However, his junior brother is already his Taoist companion. No matter what kind of opportunity comes, he is likely to benefit from it, so there is no need to be too envious.
"It's getting late, shall we go back to practice now?"
Luo Huan looked around. This desolate and silent floating land was uninhabited. It was just a temporary place chosen so that he could survive the tribulation without being disturbed. Next, to consolidate the realm and become familiar with the power of Yuan Xian, you have to continue practicing in seclusion for a period of time. Of course, you still have to complete it after you go back.
Qin Muling agreed, launched a slender and graceful milky-white Tianzhou Tower, boarded it with Senior Sister Luo Huan, and sped away.
At this time, in the depths of the sea of consciousness, the innate Hongmeng spiritual seeds and the phantoms of the green lotus leaves have undergone slight changes. A layer of blue, faint and dazzling thunder covers the surface, and the hidden meaning can be felt from a distance. The destructive power was part of the terrifying power of the Heavenly Tribulation that was absorbed and stolen by this innate Hongmeng spiritual seed in some unknown way.
Qin Muling concentrated on the investigation and found that the blue thunder was slowly dissipating. To be precise, it was being absorbed and digested bit by bit by the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed.
With the influx of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the changes in the innate Hongmeng Spirit Seed became more and more obvious. It became larger in size, and the color on the surface became brighter and more lively. Some chaotic light threads actually differentiated at the bottom of the spirit seed, and it seemed that it could grow at any time. Come out with roots.
Carefully sensing it, it seems that every time the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is absorbed by the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed, a strange chaotic clear air will be released from within the spiritual seed. The clear air contains extremely powerful, yet vibrant energy. The power slowly merged with Qin Muling's soul.
Moreover, those differentiated chaotic light strands actually extended into the depths of the void on their own. Immediately, Qin Muling sensed more spiritual energy essence and bits and pieces of mysterious Taoist rhyme fed back, integrating with his soul body.
"So... is this another wonderful use of the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed? It's simply unheard of..."
Qin Muling also had a feeling of shock in his heart at this time. The innate Hongmeng spiritual seed absorbed the power of the heavenly tribulation, and the various changes it showed were simply unimaginable and unprecedented. Its roots could actually penetrate into the depths of the void, from different places. The dimension of time and space continuously absorbs the essence of spiritual energy to nourish itself.
At the same time, the five green lotus leaf shadows that have been derived seem to have grown a little and become more solid. The sixth green lotus leaf shadow is already looming, and it is only a matter of time before it is fully formed.
"It seems that my level of cultivation has not been significantly improved, but the benefits are still huge. I feel that my mana is endless now and there is no possibility of it being exhausted. In other words, there is no need to replenish mana elixirs in the future. ? Can all consumption be met by relying on the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed?"
Qin Muling concentrated on experiencing the changes in the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed. It is said that she is a part of her own body. As the roots like chaotic light threads extend into the depths of the void, she can easily absorb various spiritual energy essences to nourish herself. She will never exhausted.
There are thousands of void dimensions. Although the aura energy in some mysterious time and space is powerful, it is unusually violent and violent, and difficult to be refined and absorbed. Some auras also contain poison. However, with the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed, all power All can be easily absorbed and digested, and then transformed into mild and mellow spiritual energy essence for Qin Muling to absorb.
Therefore, now Qin Muling's strength has been significantly improved again. Even if there is no elixir supplement in the fighting battle, he can last for an unimaginably long time. Even if he is a demon-level genius whose cultivation is two or three levels higher than him, They may all be dragged to death by him.
…
Xuanji Star Palace.
In the meeting hall, many core elders gathered together. The leader on the high platform, Supreme Yan Qinyang, frowned and examined the jade slip in his hand for a long time without saying anything.
"...The calamity is approaching, it really doesn't stop anywhere!"
After a long time, Yan Qinyang sighed heavily and put down the jade slip: "I didn't expect that there are so many nests of demon descendants hidden in the most important core territory of the sect, causing us to lose so many disciples. It's unthinkable. And who knows how large the number of these aliens would be in other regions!"
The core elders looked at each other in shock. After receiving the notice from the Tao Ting, the senior officials of Xuanji Star Palace did not dare to neglect and immediately dispatched elite forces to conduct a large-scale investigation, starting with the most important core territory.
As a result, not only was the problem discovered at once, the problem was also extremely serious, almost to the point of shocking!
The number of lairs of demon descendants hidden deep in the ground is unimaginable, especially because the proportion of strong people inside is extremely high. If you are not careful, the core disciples of Xuanji Star Palace suffered heavy losses, and some of the unlucky guys died. His soul is completely destroyed and cannot be saved.
Fortunately, the senior elders reacted quickly enough and immediately dispatched powerful men above the Yuanxian level and carrying heavy treasures to reinforce the situation. After a fierce battle, the situation was finally under control, and all the descendants of the demons found were eliminated in one fell swoop, preventing the trouble from spreading further.
Nowadays, a large number of disciples are still patrolling everywhere in groups, conducting net-like inspections, and if any abnormalities are discovered, sufficient forces will be summoned to come and support.
Therefore, now, the number of demon descendants being eliminated every day is quite astonishing. The price is that disciples at all levels suffer varying degrees of damage, especially the core disciples. Fortunately, I can earn a lot of merit from heaven and earth, which is still acceptable.
This is the disadvantage of having an overly wide scope of influence. There are too many areas that need to be taken care of. If you don't care, it won't work. Otherwise, once those dormant descendants of the demon clan become the norm and a sudden attack occurs in the future, your own disciples will still suffer.
"Headmaster, this won't work."
Xie Changqing, the core elder, said: "If the sect loses too much power, when disaster really strikes in the future, it may be difficult for us to deal with it. You see..."
Yan Qinyang asked calmly: "What do you think?"
"Shrink the scope of influence and give up some less important territories in advance, so as to save manpower and preserve the sect's vitality!" Xie Changqing said solemnly.
The elders around him couldn't help but raise eyebrows. This Xie Changqing was a die-hard confidant of the Supreme Leader. Most of what he meant was what the leader meant, but he just said it through his mouth.
From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with such a strategy. However, for this purpose, one has to voluntarily give up a large territory. The reputational impact is not very pleasant to hear. Some forces within the sect that are at odds with Yan Qinyang may take the opportunity to stir up trouble, saying that he is timid and fearful of enemies, has lost power and lost ground, and has insulted the majesty of the sect.
"It doesn't feel easy."
A female elder frowned and said: "If the power of the sect is withdrawn, what will happen to the hundreds of millions of people in the secular country? Are we going to let them fend for themselves?"
The so-called withdrawal of power, of course, refers to the withdrawal of the official disciples who are stationed in various places. Some financial resources can also be transported back, but there is no way to control the massive mortal people.
Facing the extremely vicious demon descendants, the little force of the secular dynasty was simply not enough to protect them. Being slaughtered was a foreseeable and tragic result.
Xie Changqing said solemnly: "This is something we have to do. For the long-term interests of the sect, they must make due sacrifices!"
In his opinion, ordinary people are like ants. No matter how many people die, as long as some seeds are left behind, a massive population can still be reproduced hundreds or thousands of years later. It is not worth paying too much attention to.
The elders were silent for a while, and finally someone said: "In that case, please let the headmaster Qian Gang make the decision! Everything is for the sake of the sect!"
…
Yunmeng Tiangong General Altar.
On the Yudao Peak, the sky is filled with flowers, golden light shines, boundless auspiciousness rises, and there are bursts of fairy music. Thousands of beautiful disciples dress up and line up to welcome the distinguished guests from the Taoist court.
A thick purple cloud slowly descended from the sky. On the cloud was a gorgeous chariot shaped like a palace. A large group of goddesses, immortal officials, warriors, and Taoist soldiers surrounded the surroundings. The auspicious light filled the air and the momentum was majestic.
Behind the team, there are also many chariots, boats, pavilions and courtyards of various shapes, etc. The auras exuded from them are either domineering and strong, or cold and fierce, or full of fairy spirit, or deep and ethereal. The guards around them They also have strong and imposing auras, and at first glance they are all masters with great backgrounds.
These are all admirers of Princess Long Yi, direct descendants from various great lineages, super aristocratic families, and ancient powerful clans. Any one of them is a demon-level talent with a name.
Mu Yinghua, who had received the news a long time ago, brought a group of senior elders to greet her in person. The daughter of Emperor Qinghuan was also the successor of this powerful person. No one from any supreme orthodoxy could neglect her and must be treated with high standards. etiquette reception.
After the chariot landed, the noble and powerful Princess Long Yi finally appeared. She looked around with bright eyes, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and immediately looked behind Mu Yinghua.
To her disappointment, there was no figure she expected to see in the welcoming crowd, not even the Xue Bingxuan girls.
"Hey, where are your direct disciples, Headmaster? Why didn't any of them show up?"
She had no idea of being polite and asked directly.
Mu Yinghua's expression remained unchanged as she felt something, and she smiled gently and appropriately: "It's a bit unlucky for Your Highness to come here. Several of my direct disciples are currently in retreat or traveling, so they are unable to do so." Come to greet me, and I hope His Highness Haihan."
Princess Long Yi's black eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said calmly: "Oh, this is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk!"
"my pleasure."
Mu Yinghua smiled lightly, raised her hand to make an invitation gesture, and invited Princess Long Yi to enter the palace to talk. She also informed the core elders next to her with her spiritual thoughts, and quickly sent more people to entertain the arrogant group behind. , the talented young people with their own backgrounds.
In the meeting hall.
After Princess Long Yi sat down, she didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "I have brought the emperor's decree, as well as the merits of heaven and earth that you need. The conditions... are the same as last time! As long as the master agrees. For this matter, give Qin Muling to me to take away, and this merit will be yours."
She took out a thick golden seal that exuded endless majesty and gently placed it on the table in front of her. She stared at Mu Yinghua quietly with her beautiful eyes.
There was silence all around, and everyone's eyes fell on the golden seal.
The seal is a special sealing instrument that can accommodate and store special resources such as the merits of heaven and earth for a long time. In today's Taixu Starry Sky, this is no longer a top-secret method. All major supreme orthodoxy have this ability.
One billion heaven and earth merits is not a small amount, it is a key bargaining chip that can determine the life or death of the Supreme Taoist lineage. No matter which big power's top talker will be indifferent to this.
"Yunmeng Tiangong appreciates the kindness of His Highness and the Emperor."
A moment later, Mu Yinghua's calm voice sounded: "It's just that this condition is really unacceptable to me. Qin Muling is my direct disciple and is preparing a key person to inherit the Taoism in the future. It is impossible to give him up for some benefits." Send it out to be sacrificed.”
"Therefore, I can only feel ashamed of His Highness's great love."
Others don't know Qin Muling's value, but Mu Yinghua and the elders understand it very well. Let alone one billion merits, it is impossible to increase it ten times or a hundred times. There is no room for negotiation on this kind of thing.
Whoever agrees will get kicked in the head by a donkey.
Princess Long Yi smiled nonchalantly: "So, in your eyes, the value of Qin Muling is more important than an emperor? Such a person is unheard of in Taixu Starry Sky, and I am indeed very curious, no matter what Do you accept this condition? It's okay to call him out first and let me see it, right?"
Mu Yinghua shook her head gracefully: "Unfortunately, Qin Muling went on a trip half a year ago and has not returned yet. I can only disappoint you, Your Highness!"
Princess Long Yi looked slightly startled: "Traveling? How is this possible? Didn't you say that you have always protected him very closely and did not let him go out at all? Are you willing to let him out? What if his cultivation was robbed? manage?"
"It doesn't matter. The sect has made arrangements, and the accompanying guardians are enough to ensure his safety. It will be no problem if he escapes unscathed."
Princess Long Yi's eyebrows narrowed slightly: "Can you contact him and ask him to come back as quickly as possible? I am waiting here! I also want to see your direct disciples."
"His Highness has orders, and I shall obey them. But where exactly he went and when he will be able to return is hard to say."
"As for Xue Bingxuan and the others, when the retreat ends, I will definitely ask them to come and pay homage."
Mu Yinghua answered without missing a beat, the starry sky in Taixu is vast and boundless, and once a monk travels far away, it will not take him a day or two to come back.
Now that she knew that Princess Long Yi had bad intentions, Mu Yinghua made arrangements as quickly as possible to drive all the Xue Bingxuan girls to seclusion and prevent them from appearing in the eyes of people in the Taoist court.
After all, they have all had close contact with Qin Muling, and their Qi, destiny, and aptitudes have undergone radical changes. When Princess Long Yi comes this time, she must be accompanied by some people with special magical powers. In case they find out Clues would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, so it would be better to hide.
