The original magic palace.
Qin Muling's retreat with her senior sisters didn't last long this time, and it ended in just twenty days.
However, with the miraculous power of the Pure Land Array, many senior quasi-saint emperors were still created, such as Daluo Jinxian, Taiyi Jinxian, etc.
Moreover, Qin Muling has almost digested the origin of the world, the merits of heaven and earth, and all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can improve cultivation level sent by those superpowers. The direct benefit is that the accumulation of cultivation becomes deeper and deeper, and the supreme realm of the Hunyuan Saint is within reach.
"...Junior brother, today we have to select new recruits again! According to Senior Sister, there are 35 million candidates for this batch. I guess it will take several days to finish them all."
In the inner hall of the palace filled with faint body fragrance, Qin Muling, who had finished bathing, was changing clothes under the service of her senior sisters.
Well, after so many days of training in seclusion, the senior sisters didn't let him wear any clothes at all. They are honest with each other and talk about scriptures and Taoism. All kinds of communication are more convenient and everyone understands everything.
"Okay, once we've eaten and drank enough, we'll go there together."
As Qin Muling spoke, he did not forget to move his hands up and down the plump and voluptuous bodies of the senior sisters around him, making them moan and groan from time to time.
Su Mengqing, whose snowy jade face was as red as clouds, fastened the jade belt around Qin Muling's waist and arranged her robes. Demon Lord Zi Zi took care of his hair and put on his crown with his own hands. Demon Lord Yuqing, Qinshuixin and a group of saints also stood around and waited on him attentively.
After finishing dressing up, a sumptuous banquet was already prepared in the inner garden hall outside. The tables were piled with all kinds of delicacies. In the twelve jade cauldrons of different shapes next to them, there were meat pieces of various top-notch rare birds and animals. Mixed with the supreme grade heavenly elixir and spirit fruit and stewed together, the radiance is thin and the aroma is fragrant.
Such a feast is not something that one can eat very often, even as a sub-sage. But for Qin Muling, there is no such restriction. He can eat as much as he wants.
Qin Muling sat down behind the white jade table, while Su Mengqing, Demon Lord Zizi and other girls sat beside him, serving him wine and food attentively.
"How are things going outside? If I don't show up, they will probably start making trouble again, right?"
After drinking several cups of spiritual wine, Qin Muling asked softly.
Demon Lord Zi Zi explained with a smile: "That's for sure. Now that I've met you and met you, we've finished all the things we need to talk about. They should be waiting for your reaction!"
Qin Muling calmly finished a bowl of soup before continuing: "But even if I leave the original demon world, I may not go to other Taoist forces, right? What benefit will such a result bring to them? ?”
Demon Lord Yuqing said quietly: "As long as our original demon world will not continue to become stronger because of you, they will naturally be half relieved. And as long as you return to the state of no belonging, they will have some thoughts."
"That's true, but it's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed!"
Qin Muling pondered: "In the envoys of Taoist forces, I have discovered some female cultivators with ulterior motives, and there are more than one or two. They should be undercover spies from hostile forces, right?"
"They themselves are on guard against each other, let alone facing us. Anyway, I don't think they have much chance of getting what they want."
For example, among the Goddess Bodhisattvas in the Great World of Thunder Sound, there seem to be two people from the Original Demon Palace, and one who seems to be from the Taiqing Infinite Heaven.
Among the envoys of Taiqing Infinite Heaven, there seems to be a person from Yuxiang Great World. As for the Longpan World, the Heavenly Demon World, the Holy Blood World, and the Haoyuan World... there are more or less problems with the members of these superpower envoys.
Even among the envoys of Yuxiang World, there seems to be an undercover agent from the Confucian Sage Academy. Of course, Qin Muling has secretly informed Taoist Fengyi that she will naturally clean up the house after she returns.
The members of these envoys are all carefully selected by the top management and reviewed at all levels, so there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. You can imagine how their sect has been infiltrated by outsiders.
But having said that, since all superpowers are in a similar situation, the comparison of strengths between them is maintained in a state of delicate balance.
Even the original Demon Palace was in this state at the beginning. It was Qin Muling who completely cleaned up and rectified the place after he came over, and wiped out all the secret spies at the top, which completely changed the sect's atmosphere.
So now, the various advantages that the Original Demon Palace already possesses are incomparable to other superpowers.
"Okay, don't worry too much about what they think,"
Demon Lord Zi Zi raised his bright wrist to pour wine for him, and said with a sweet smile: "In the past few days, the sect has successfully transported back a lot of resources, enough for the sect to use for hundreds of years, and there are also a group of strong men. The great power has also returned, but this requires you, my junior brother, to take care of it and find out any spies that may be inside."
Of course Qin Muling had no objection: "This is no problem, it's all on me."
Su Mengqing blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "There are also many beauties among those people. As long as they pass the screening and confirm that there are no problems, they can all come to serve you in the future! How about it, senior sister, will you be nice enough? ?”
"Of course, I will never forget the kindness of my senior sisters."
Qin Muling nodded. Anyway, their approach was frank and direct, and he did not need to be pretentious and evasive. There were not so many complicated calculations and intrigues. This way of getting along was the simplest and most worry-free.
After eating and drinking, Qin Muling, accompanied by her senior sisters, got up and went out, arriving at an exceptionally majestic palace.
On the blue-gold ground, countless complex and detailed formation prohibition lines are looming. Hundreds of thousands of young men and women have already arrived here, sitting in neat rows on the ground, not squinting. They are all dressed in white clothes and white robes, which looks quite spectacular.
They all went through multiple rounds of rigorous screening before they could obtain reserve status as inner disciples. Once they passed Qin Muling's personal screening, they could become official inner disciples.
As one of the oldest and most powerful superpowers in the chaotic void, the selection criteria for the inner disciples of the Original Demon Palace are extremely strict. They must have overcome the catastrophe of inner demons, successfully set foot in the realm of destiny, and established enough achievements for the sect. Only with outstanding achievements can you participate in the assessment and selection.
If you want to become a true disciple, you have to go through the two realms of becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality, and you can only be qualified for selection after surviving the tribulation of Yuanxian.
On the high platform in the center of the hall, Qin Muling appeared surrounded by many powerful female cultivators. The deacons and elders waiting on one side all bent down to salute and greeted him respectfully.
Demon Lord Haoyue has long since canonized Qin Muling as the only holy son of the original Demon Palace and the first deputy headmaster of the sect. He can also exercise the authority of the supreme headmaster on his behalf in many cases, so no one dares to neglect him.
"No need to be polite, just bring me the roster!"
Qin Muling said, and an elder next to him immediately presented the jade book he had prepared in his hand. Su Mengqing took it and checked it and found that there was no problem before handing it over to the junior brother.
The jade book is a high-level magic weapon, which records the identity information of all the disciples to be selected, and it is extremely detailed.
Qin Muling's eyes flashed with clear light, and he quickly flipped through the contents of the jade book. He had read it in a moment and memorized it by heart.
Then, Qin Muling's eyes turned to the young men and women under the high platform. The secrets and magical powers, the luck, fortune, destiny power, Taoist endowments of these disciples to be selected...all the information was presented in detail. In his sea of consciousness.
Not long after, the green lotus shadow appeared behind Qin Muling. The rich Taoist aura filled the air, and hundreds of blood-colored starlights shot out quickly, falling towards the disciples waiting below.
In the blink of an eye, a fist-sized, shining bloody star hung above the heads of some of the disciples to be selected, which stood out among the crowd.
"Ha! Sure enough, there are still quite a few ghost moles!"
Demon Lord Yuqing, who was sitting next to him, had a slightly cold look on his face. He raised his hand to indicate that the female cultivators of the Law Enforcement Team of the Discipline Hall who were waiting at the edge of the hall came out one after another and took down all the candidates who were marked by the blood star, imprisoning the souls. Body, ready to be taken away for strict scrutiny.
No one dared to resist, and no one dared to protest. Chuangshi Qinglian's judgment had never been wrong. Even the core elders who hold high positions and great power, the supreme elders, have been purged a lot some time ago. What do they matter?
In a matter of moments, all the spies and moles had been taken away. Then under Qin Muling's will, all the disciples' luck and blessings were manifested, allowing the powerful experts present to see clearly.
"This time there seem to be more candidates who meet the shortlisting criteria than last time, and some of the seedlings look quite good and are worthy of the sect's careful cultivation."
Su Mengqing took a look and said with satisfaction.
"It should be the benefit brought by the substantial increase in the sect's Qi. There will definitely be more and more suitable candidates in the future."
Demon Lord Zi Zi said with a smile, with Qin Muling here, all aspects of the sect are developing for the better, and it has begun to have the appearance of the first immortal holy land in the chaotic void.
A quarter of an hour later, the selection results were finalized. According to the standards set by the senior officials of the original Demon Palace, about 70% to 80% of the candidates met the shortlisting conditions.
As for the remaining losers, they have not completely lost their opportunity. They will be restored to the status of outer disciples and continue to train and hone for three years. Based on their performance, they will be eligible to participate in the selection again.
Only those who fail three times in a row will be permanently disqualified. From then on, they can only spend the rest of their lives as outside disciples, or go home to marry a wife and have children, hoping for the efforts of their descendants.
"Okay, let them leave and replace them with the next batch!"
Su Mengqing ordered calmly, below
The deacons and elders did not dare to neglect and immediately got busy.
Thousands of doors opened in all directions of the hall, and hundreds of thousands of disciples exited like a tide, busy but not chaotic.
Then more than 600,000 white-clothed disciples poured into the hall, lined up neatly under the command of the deacons, and sat on the ground waiting to be screened.
Qin Muling put down the spiritual jade wine bottle in his hand, stood up and repeated the previous steps. With his current level of cultivation, it was easy to detect the details of these low-level monks in large quantities, and it did not even consume much mana.
In this way, batches of candidates were looked at one after another. In just three days, the screening of 35 million inner disciples to be selected was completed, and a total of tens of thousands of problematic candidates were identified.
Through the targeted methods of the elders of the Discipline Hall, most of their true identities have surfaced. They are all spies planted by other superpowers through various secret channels.
These guys usually stay dormant and will never be exposed until they receive orders from the sect. Some outstanding ones will be promoted step by step as their cultivation level improves and their merits are accumulated, until they sneak into the upper echelons of the sect.
Of course, now that their identities have been exposed, all back-up plans are out of the question, which means that all the previous investments made by the superpowers have been in vain.
"Alright, junior brother, let's go take a look at those powerful men who have returned to the sect, shall we? There must be a lot of secret spies among them, and we must find them out as soon as possible!"
Demon Lord Zi Zi took Qin Muling's arm and said.
"Okay, then lead the way!"
Qin Muling said, only he can handle this matter properly now, otherwise no one else can be as precise and efficient as him.
Less than half an hour later, Qin Muling followed Demon Lord Yuqing into the main hall of the Discipline Hall of the Original Demon Palace.
In the main hall that has been sealed by numerous formations, tens of thousands of law enforcement elders from the Commandment Hall are already in place. They all look cold and silent, exuding chilling coercion.
There is a special forbidden spirit magic circle placed under the ground of the main hall. As long as you are within the range of the magic circle, your cultivation will be strongly imprisoned and weakened.
Demon Lord Haoyue, Demon Lord Taiyan, Demon Lord Yuanchu and several other sub-sages have arrived at the scene and are sitting on the high platform.
"Junior brother, come and sit down!"
Demon Lord Haoyue greeted her warmly, and Qin Muling came over and sat down beside her, taking the jade slip list from her hand.
Then, under the orders of Demon Lord Yuqing, the first batch of more than 100,000 strong men poured into the hall, including men, women, old and young.
Their cultivation levels range from high to low, ranging from the Quasi-Saint Emperor who is the incarnation of benevolent thoughts to ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals. They are all summoned from many worlds deep in the chaotic void.
As for those powerful men with higher levels of cultivation, because their lethality was too great, Demon Lord Haoyue decided to screen them separately to prevent some guys from jumping over the wall and causing accidents.
Qin Muling didn't say much. The phantom of Qinglian quietly appeared behind him, using his magical power silently, and looked at the group of powerful men in the magic circle.
In a few moments, hundreds of bloody starlights shot out quickly, locking onto the target person's soul body, and finally hung above their heads.
"Take them all!"
Demon Lord Haoyue ordered coldly, and a large group of law enforcement elders took action upon hearing the news, turning into streams of light and pounced on those in question.
"...Headmaster, what do you mean?"
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a majestic face shouted in shock and anger: "I am a direct descendant of Elder Qi Haoyang. I have served the sect for dozens of Yuanhui outside. I have never been more loyal than before. Why are you treating me like this? I want to see Elder Qi!"
Demon Lord Zi Zi sneered: "If there is really no evil in your heart, how about such a big reaction? Drag him out and interrogate him!"
Several law enforcement elders held him down silently, and all kinds of imprisonment instruments were summoned. He was instantly unable to speak, and was dragged away with hateful eyes.
Not long after, all the moles were captured. Demon Lord Haoyue then stood up, comforted the other strong men with gentle words, and asked them to go back and rest. New appointment arrangements would be made soon.
Only then will these returning high-level monks be truly treated as one of their own.
After they left, the second batch of more than 300,000 high-level monks poured into the hall to accept screening by Qin Muling.
In this way, batches of strong and powerful people were screened out. Even if there was time to accelerate the effect of the magic circle, it took Qin Muling a full month to complete the matter.
The main reason is that new disciples are constantly returning. After all, the original Demonic Palace has too many assets and manpower outside, and these are only a small part at the moment.
The total number of spies and spies that have been cleared out and the disciples who have been instigated to rebel are in the millions. There is no shortage of everything from the top powers who have three corpses unified into one to the ordinary true immortals.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it can ensure the stability and safety of the sect, so Qin Muling took the trouble to check it personally.
"...Thank you for your hard work, little junior brother,"
Demon Lord Haoyue hugged Qin Muling and kissed him, and said softly: "Follow Senior Sister Su to receive a new batch of world origins. This time the quantity is a bit large, and there are hundreds of billions of merits from heaven and earth. This is a reward for you. !”
Su Mengqing came over with a smile, took Qin Muling's arm, and drove away with him in the light.
There are indeed a lot of world origins in this batch. When Qin Muling walked into the Dongtian Secret Realm, what he saw was an ocean of world origins with a radius of billions of miles, which was almost equivalent to the entire wealth of three profound-level high-grade worlds.
If coupled with the hundreds of billions of merits from heaven and earth, Qin Muling's hard work this time is completely worth it.
…
Chaotic void.
In the camp of Yuxiang Great World, Taoist Fengyi and a group of sub-sages silently stared at the magic projection light mirror in front of them. Queen Yun Wuyun of the Luojia Dynasty was also present.
What emerged in the light mirror were scenes of numerous large-scale teams of Tianzhou Tower ships, which kept coming from the depths of the chaotic void, and entered the original demon world after passing strict inspections.
Before the coalition forces resumed their offensive, the senior officials of the Original Demon Palace stepped up their efforts to withdraw resources and manpower from the depths of the Chaotic Void. In the past nearly two months, a large number of Tianzhoulou boat teams have returned almost every day.
"...It feels a little strange!"
Fengyi Daoist said softly: "Why are those people from Taiqing Biliangtian still unwilling to launch a new offensive? What conspiracy are they planning?"
Taoist Hua Luan beside him pursed his lips and said, "They must have planted a lot of spies among those people? Are they planning to wait for the right time to launch the attack from within the Original Demon Palace?"
Dao Zun Fengyi shook his head: "This method no longer works. With my junior brother here, they are destined to gain nothing!"
After thinking about it, she turned her head to Yun Wuyun and asked, "Junior sister, do you think... when will my junior brother escape and come to our side?"
Queen Yun Wuyun muttered: "It's still unclear at the moment, but since my junior brother has already made arrangements, we don't have to be too hasty. We can just wait and feel at ease."
Taoist Master Fengyi nodded slightly: "That's true. We can't cause trouble to our junior brother, so just wait!"
When Yun Wuyun was called to lead the army to the Original Demon Palace and obey the unified dispatch of Yuxiang Great World, she thought it was just a routine matter, so she didn't take it too seriously.
As Qin Muling's Taoist companion, she certainly knew some of the other party's arrangements. Anyway, she didn't need to worry about this matter. She could just go through the formalities step by step.
However, during a chance meeting, something strange about Yun Wuyun caught the attention of Taoist Fengyi, and he called her in for private questioning.
After having many dual-cultivation experiences with Qin Muling, Yun Wuyun's cultivation, basic talents, and Qi and destiny have all undergone radical changes, and are no longer inferior to those top powers in Yuxiang World.
Although Yun Wuyun herself used various means to cover it up, she obviously couldn't hide it from Taoist Fengyi's face-to-face inspection, and she still saw the clues.
In the end, Yun Wuyun had no choice but to ask Taoist Master Fengyi to make a Taoist oath. Under any circumstances, the senior officials of Yuxiang World would never threaten Qin Muling with her own safety, so she was willing to tell the truth.
After receiving the clear promise from Taoist Fengyi, Yun Wuyun told her how she met Qin Muling, which naturally surprised her.
The fact that an orthodox force from a pure female cultivator can have a close relationship with Chuangshi Qinglian first, coupled with his beauty-loving temperament, doesn't it mean that all the high-level female cultivators have a chance?
After Yun Wuyun agreed to pass on the message to the top management of Yuxiang World and invited Qin Muling to come as a guest when the time was right, Taoist Fengyi found an excuse to openly accept Yun Wuyun as his direct disciple, and brought him with him when he met Qin Muling. Got her.
Therefore, this is the confidence for Yuxiang World to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. With Qin Muling's temperament, since they have made a promise in private, it is only a matter of time before it is fulfilled. They just need to wait patiently.
However, in Taiqing Infinite Heaven, as time passed day by day, several Yasheng became a little anxious.
"...Junior sister, should we continue to do something?"
In the Bronze Taoist Palace, Taoist Shuoyun said solemnly. It has been so long now, but there has been no movement from Chuangshi Qinglian, which really makes them a little restless.
The most beautiful and gorgeous Taoist Master Miaoyuan frowned and said, "I already left something for him last time. Do you want to find a way to contact him again?"
No wonder they are so anxious, mainly because in the past few months, the original demon palace has continued to have a large amount of resources and a large number of powerful people returning, and has even partially resumed business and trade with some big worlds.
Moreover, mixed in with those returning
Qin Muling uncovered all the spies among the strong, making all the conspiracies and machinations of the coalition impossible.
All these actions are increasing the strength of the original demon palace at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is no wonder that Taoist Shuoyun becomes restless.
