Daoting, the temporary residence of the disciples of the Xuanji Star Palace.
Xie Changqing, the core elder, had a sinking face and was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. More than a dozen high-level elders and the supreme disciple Yan Lingji sat aside, their faces gloomy and silent.
This grand gathering of immortals was the most generous one for the Taoist court, but it was also the one with the heaviest losses for the Xuanji Star Palace. Not only was the harvest very pitiful, but also less than 30% of all the disciples who entered the secret realm came back alive.
These are all figures that the senior leaders of the sect are quite optimistic about and are training as the next generation of elites, but this time they have suffered so much loss. Even though Xuanji Star Palace’s family has a big business, it’s a bit overwhelming all of a sudden.
Thinking back to the losses in the Mist Fantasy Realm in the past few years, as well as the many losses suffered by Xuanji Star Palace after the outbreak of the Demon Tribulation, after the repeated blows, the senior leaders of the sect have truly felt the pain. If this kind of unfavorable situation If the situation cannot be reversed as soon as possible, the decline of the sect is not an empty talk, it is very likely to become a reality.
"...Have the other sect forces already started their journey?"
After a long time, Xie Changqing asked helplessly.
An elder replied: "Yes, although the Taoist court has not set a time limit for leaving, the calamity of the demons is not over yet, but is getting worse, so most of the sects have decided to return as soon as possible."
Xie Changqing let out a long breath: "In that case, let's pack our bags and get ready to leave."
Yan Ling raised his head violently and asked with a gloomy expression: "What about the settlement with Yunmeng Tiangong? Has it been cancelled?"
This time Xuanji Star Palace suffered such a big loss, mainly because of Yunmeng Heavenly Palace. If they could not come to ask for an explanation and let them compensate for the losses, Yan Lingji would really be unwilling to do so.
Xie Changqing looked at him expressionlessly: "I know your obsession, but it's impossible now. The situation in the sect's general altar is tight. A large number of descendants of the high-level demon clan have been besieging them for days. The Taishang Elders have suffered great losses, so the master The Supreme Being has sent a message, asking us to rush back as soon as possible to provide support."
Yan Lingji's expression suddenly changed. At the beginning of the Immortal Gathering, the sect's main altar and the core territory of the Xuanji Star Palace had been guarded impregnably. Now, after a while, has the situation deteriorated to this extent?
"You're taking advantage of those women!"
In the end, Yan Lingji could only curse reluctantly. His mind was not stupid. Compared with the safety of his family's important place, any grudges had to be temporarily put aside.
Xie Changqing seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and said: "The Shadow Killer Palace has already stated that it will give up this business entrustment. The Biluo Divine Sect, the Haoyue Sword Sect, and the Jiuling Yuanqing Sect have all decided not to go there again because of the heavy losses. In this muddy water, everything must wait until the demon clan’s disaster is over.”
The implication is that those forces have given up. The Xuanji Xinggong family alone cannot have an advantage over Yunmeng Tiangong, and revenge can only be postponed.
Yan Lingji sighed and said nothing more.
At the same time, Taoist forces such as Huaqing Shrine, Jieyun Palace, and Dafanyin Temple all made similar decisions. The grand gathering of immortals has come to an end, and there is no point in staying here anymore.
The temporary residence of Yunmeng Tiangong.
One day after Qin Muling left seclusion, head coach Mu Yinghua announced his return. Anyway, she has already met Emperor Qinghuan and has finished all the things that need to be discussed, so there is no need to stay any longer.
On the floating land in the void, a bright red light and shadow rises up, passing through the sky at an almost infinite speed. In the light and shadow is a gorgeous sky boat shaped like a maple leaf. This is a vehicle that only belongs to the supreme leader, an innate gift. A Lingbao-level heavy weapon has a huge internal space, and can travel through the void and enter and exit most dangerous areas with ease.
In the vast void, it is not that there are some obscure spiritual thoughts trying to track its whereabouts, but they just barely persisted for a moment and then they couldn't continue. They lost the whereabouts of Tianzhou and could only give up angrily.
The sky boat turned into a stream of light that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, traveling silently through the empty and dead darkness, and was already hundreds of millions of miles away in an instant.
After leaving the Daoting's sphere of influence, Tianzhou's body suddenly burst out into a large ball of bright light, and then disappeared without a trace.
When it reappeared, it had moved dozens of large star fields away.
"...By the way, you should stay away from the people in Dafanyin Temple in the future. Since that Miaoxin Buddha Lord is thinking about you, I'm afraid he won't give up easily. There are also the two daughters of the Ji family, Taikoo The little princess of the Qilin tribe..."
Inside Tianzhou, Mu Yinghua told Qin Muling that Miaoxin came to visit her specially two days ago and talked with her alone for a long time, but naturally they broke up on bad terms.
Qin Muling nodded: "Disciple understands."
Even though the two families are close strategic allies, when it comes to issues involving Qin Muling, Mu Yinghua is unlikely to make any kind of compromise, even if they fall out and become enemies, she will admit it.
In addition, the Jie Yun Palace, the Ji clan, the Longhu Danding Sect, and the Ancient Qilin clan all sent envoys to the door, trying to see Qin Muling, but naturally they were all blocked by Mu Yinghua.
No matter what he considers, Qin Muling is not suitable to deal with these big forces now, unless one day, his power is strong enough to protect himself.
"Master, can my junior brother return to the sect's main altar now?"
Luo Wanqing hesitated and asked this most concerning question.
Several senior sisters around looked over, and they had made up their minds. If the junior brother still wanted to hide from the limelight, there was no need for them to go back. They could just go out with him.
Mu Yinghua said warmly: "One moment and another, Mu Ling can now return to the sect's main altar. Many things cannot be separated from him."
In addition to wiping out the descendants of the demon clan, there are still many elders and disciples from previous generations in the sect who need to survive the tribulation. There are still thousands of seriously injured and sleeping supreme elders in the sect’s cave heaven secret realm who need to be treated. In addition, there are also those who are purifying the surrounding floating land. The dead zone and so on all require Qin Muling's innate magical power.
Therefore, Mu Yinghua decided to let Qin Muling return to Zongmen Yudao Peak to live permanently. As for the potential threat from the original owner of the Origin Star Palace, the other party still has a long time to fully recover anyway, so it is useless to worry. It is better to create conveniences for Qin Muling to grow up as soon as possible. When you get up, you naturally don’t need to care too much about the other party’s attitude.
The senior sisters all breathed a sigh of relief in unison. As long as the younger junior brother is in the sect, there will naturally be more opportunities to see him in the future. Only by meeting him day and night can we have the possibility to strengthen our relationship.
"Then, regarding this drawing of lots, I would like to ask Master to make arrangements."
Qin Muling said that the senior sisters have been refusing to give in to each other these days and almost quarreled over this matter. It is really difficult for him to be caught in the middle of the senior sisters. It is better to ask Mu Yinghua to come forward and take over this trouble.
As soon as these words came out, the senior sisters suddenly became nervous, and they all held their breaths and stared at the reaction of the Supreme Master.
Mu Yinghua looked slightly startled, then nodded: "Okay, let's hold it here! This will save you girls from having trouble sleeping and eating."
Then he quietly asked Qin Muling with his spiritual mind: "Which one do you want this time?"
Qin Muling did not hesitate: "Of course it's Second Senior Sister."
"Okay, it's up to you!"
Mu Yinghua agreed briefly, waved her jade hand, and a sapphire-made sign tube appeared in front of many female disciples, containing dozens of shining ink-colored ivory talismans.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Mu Yinghua's eyes were calm: "It's still the old rule. Those whose talisman is red can become the junior disciple's Taoist companion. Those who are not selected need not be disappointed and can wait for the next opportunity."
Su Yunmo looked at the senior sisters around her, and was the first to step forward to take the talisman, followed by Cheng Yulan, Luo Wanqing, and Qi Shuyu who came to draw the lots in turn.
Yu Binghua watched nervously, silently praying that the winner would be her close friend.
"Okay, open it now!"
Mu Yinghua's tone was dull, and her eyes glanced at Cheng Yulan intentionally or unintentionally.
The girls looked at each other and carefully opened the talismans in their hands.
"Very good!"
When she saw the bright red talisman in her hand, Cheng Yulan felt relieved. After waiting for so long, she finally got her wish.
Yu Binghua: "..."
Qi Shuyu: "..."
Luo Wanqing's face turned dark, and she instinctively felt that something was wrong. However, because there was no evidence, and it was impossible for her to question the Master, she could only remain silent.
Thinking about it these days, when I and Qin Muling were practicing together, we could only take a moment and couldn't really get what we wanted, let alone feel uncomfortable.
"Then it's settled!"
Mu Yinghua said calmly: "From now on, Yu Lan, you will be my junior brother's Taoist companion. As for you girls, you will have opportunities sooner or later, so there is no need to rush."
"I will obey the Master's instructions."
The senior sisters can only salute accordingly.
Tianzhou flew through the air all the way, and returned to the sect's main altar without any danger after a few days.
Deep in the Yunmeng Immortal Realm, it is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Immortal Realm. The huge landmass with a radius of more than two billion miles looks like a bright blue-gold star hanging on the dark void background from a distance. , surrounded by tens of thousands of planets and small land masses.
On the surface of the giant continent, majestic and majestic peaks, mountains, and mountain systems that are tens of thousands of miles high are seemingly chaotically distributed across the vast land. They number in the tens of thousands. There are also many floating island peaks in the sky. Following a specific trajectory, it flew leisurely, shrouded in auspicious clouds and steaming purple air, forming a mountain-protecting formation of unimaginable scale.
The aura between heaven and earth is so rich that it gathers into large tracts of clouds and mist, spreading among mountains, rivers, plains, lakes, and ocean islands. Billions of rainbows glow on the vast sky, auspicious clouds rise, and the magnificent picture is like a celestial palace.
"Compared with the last time I came back, it is indeed much more spectacular!"
Qin Muling sighed slightly. When he first returned to the sect's main altar, the restoration project had not yet begun, and Lihuang Xingyun Tower had not returned. Therefore, the area of the giant continent was only close to one-tenth of what it is now. The sect's overall fortune , and the spiritual energy concentration between heaven and earth are far from being comparable to now.
Now that several years have passed, not only has the sect's main altar been completely restored, but many idle land blocks near the airspace have also been collected and moved by the Supreme Elders, integrated with the giant continent, and transformed into a place suitable for cultivation. Cave heaven and blessed land.
As for the overall fortune of the sect, it has increased dozens of times compared with the original, and is completely equivalent to the level of those ancient supreme Taoist forces. This does not include Qin Muling's special role.
"For our sect to be what it is today, you, Mu Ling, should be the main contributor!"
Mu Yinghua said warmly: "For you, no reward is too much. Even if you want to be the master...it is natural. What do you think?"
"It's a bit early to say this now, let's wait until later!"
Qin Muling replied, not just anyone can be qualified for the position of leader of the Supreme Taoist lineage. Not to mention anything else, he can defeat 99% of the competitors just by his cultivation level. In addition, there are also merits and contributions, mind and heart, and his own destiny. A series of stringent requirements such as grid and luck numbers.
For any supreme orthodoxy, the Golden Immortal Realm is a hard condition for taking over as the supreme leader. If you cannot even meet this standard, of course, nothing will happen. For superpowers such as Jie Yun Palace and Da Fanyin Temple, the highest speaker's cultivation level must reach Taiyi Golden Immortal to be qualified.
Mu Yinghua originally took over the position of head teacher with a high-level cultivation of Jinxian. Now she has a cultivation level of Taiyi Jinxian. After taking the throne, she has worked hard and worked hard to plan for the revival of the sect. His achievements are remarkable, and he is truly an outstanding Supreme Taoist leader.
However, in the eyes of the sect's senior officials, Mu Yinghua's greatest contribution should be discovering Qin Muling and accepting him as his direct disciple. If it weren't for him, how would Yunmeng Tiangong be as prosperous as it is today?
If Qin Muling wants to sit in Mu Yinghua's position in the future, he must at least wait until he attains Taiyi Golden Immortal. After all, he is a man. If he wants to successfully take charge of this super sect of pure female cultivators, all aspects must be met. It must have an overwhelming advantage.
"But now, I have something to ask for, and I would like to ask Master for permission!"
Looking at Mu Yinghua's tall and elegant figure, Qin Muling's heart moved slightly and he spoke to her quietly with his spiritual thoughts.
"Oh? What is it?"
Mu Yinghua responded slightly surprised.
"I want to see what you really look like, Master!"
Qin Muling continued to speak with spiritual thoughts, completely ignoring that Xue Bingxuan's jade hands were still around his waist at this moment.
Mu Yinghua: "..."
The Supreme Master Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's aura, which was as dense as a mountain, fluctuated imperceptibly for a moment. Before the senior sisters could react, it returned to its calm state.
"If Master feels embarrassed, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Qin Muling said, in fact, it was not that he had never thought about spying on Mu Yinghua's appearance with his innate supernatural powers, but after weighing it several times, he gave up.
After all, he is the supreme helmsman of a supreme orthodoxy. No one can tell what kind of powerful cards he has hidden in him. Qin Muling's current level of cultivation is too far apart from hers, and the secret may be exposed if he is not careful, so it is better not to It's a good risk.
"That's all, actually it's not that important,"
After a few breaths of silence, Mu Yinghua finally responded: "After you return to Yudao Peak, you can find an opportunity to come alone to the master's cave!"
"Thank you so much, Master!"
Qin Muling was slightly happy and agreed immediately.
The master really prefers me, so when I want to make more requests in the future, she shouldn't refuse me, right?
The sky boat shuttles lightly through hundreds of millions of miles of green void. In the depths of the vast sea of clouds, a sacred mountain with a radius of tens of thousands of miles and a steaming purple air floats in the air. The rich spirit and spiritual charm permeates the surroundings, and there are countless auspicious clouds of smoke and bright rays of light. It shrouded it, exuding endless pressure.
This is the Yudao Peak, a rare innate treasure, one of the key hubs of the sect's mountain-protecting formation, and the exclusive cultivation place reserved for the founder of the Yunmeng Tiangong.
When the Tianzhou landed on the square halfway up Yudaofeng, Mu Yinghua gave simple instructions, asking the elders and senior sisters to return to their respective places, and go to the sect's meeting hall to narrate the story tomorrow.
Xue Bingxuan naturally had no objection, and turned around to pull Qin Muling away: "Junior brother, let's go practice!"
"I'm afraid it won't work!"
Mu Yinghua looked solemn: "The emperor just sent a message and wanted to see Mu Ling, so you can discuss your matters later!"
"..."
