In the headmaster's cave.
On the high platform, Mu Yinghua was sitting on a bed of clouds, her whole body looked majestic and majestic, her body was shrouded in brilliant rays of light, the clouds were lingering, and her face was blurred.
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 many senior elders present to witness.
Mu Yinghua didn't say much. With a wave of her jade hand, an exquisite white jade talisman tube appeared in front of many female disciples, containing dozens of talismans.
"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. However, 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, walked over and took 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? As expected, they are all a bunch of scheming bitches, they make you 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 drew 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 lightly: "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 be extremely 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 has arrived, and the outside is dangerous and unpredictable. The safety of my junior brother depends on you. You have to pay a lot of attention 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 have reached the perfect state of ascending to the Immortal Realm, and there is no need to delay it any longer. She should achieve Yuanxian Dao Fruit as soon as possible. With stronger cultivation, she will be more sure of self-protection in the catastrophe. .
"Disciple, obey."
The two women couldn't help but agreed. Although he couldn't immediately practice dual cultivation with his junior brother, it was a good result to be able to survive the tribulation 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. Their cultivation levels were basically at the same level. So it only took a few years? Is the gap so huge that it's so exaggerated?
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 my cultivation has been delayed until now.
After several generations of disciples were accumulated, their absolute number was not small. With Qin Muling's help, it would be a matter of course for them to survive the catastrophe. And with such a group of strong Yuanxian realms in the sect, the overall strength 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 those 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 be protected to overcome the tribulation, and the consumption of Qin Muling's luck will be unbearable. 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: Ascension and Immortality. They also need to go through the test of Heavenly Tribulation. Of course, the difficulty is much less than that of 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 disciples need to overcome the tribulation, they can handle it according to this."
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 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, and Qin Muling breathed a sigh of relief. He was just helping to tide over the disaster, and he would be paid a lot of money, 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 tribulation, 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 many tedious sect affairs. The 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, and can only waste years 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. If you are lucky enough to get through it, you will have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more years of freedom, which is 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 running 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 was also true. The situation in many places under the sect's jurisdiction was 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 was how it was settled.
The accompanying Supreme Elders selected a piece of land that was large enough and uninhabited, and simply set up a tribulation formation, and then began to let their disciples overcome 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 a catastrophe.
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, 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 vague 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 outer territory 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.
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 earth, locking onto the figures of the disciples.
After the suffocating explosion, violent air waves spread to the surrounding layers, flying sand and rocks, and the sky was dark.
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, third... one after another, the tribulation thunder fell one after another, but the interval was 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 catastrophe in the past. Now that Qin Muling is here, the senior sisters in the sect no longer have to worry about the catastrophe."
"That's right, if Qin Muling becomes the next generation of supreme leader, he will definitely 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 a lot. Since Mu Yinghua had strictly blocked the news, they knew very little about Qin Muling before. Now that they saw his monster and extraordinary qualities for the first time, they were naturally shocked.
Even the Supreme Elders couldn't help but feel excited when they thought about the bright future of Yunmeng Tiangong's countless disciples, who would no longer face the threat of catastrophe, and whose strength would rapidly expand.
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.
