Chapter 339: Reunion with an Old Friend
Under the control of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, the Starship continuously performed multiple Void Teleportations, flying a distance equivalent to several Great Worlds.
"...Alright, it's impossible for them to find us for the time being!"
The stunning beauty spoke. Even though they were a native race in the chaotic void and possessed the strength equivalent to a senior Quasi-Saint Emperor, they couldn't freely navigate in this extremely dangerous environment.
She couldn't believe that those chaotic creatures would relentlessly chase after her until the end of time.
"Well, let's continue searching for opportunities!"
Qin Muling said, causing Immortal Venerable Qing Yao to use dozens of secret Divine Abilities to confuse and invert the Heavenly Secrets and Yin-Yang. Then, she manifested an Azure Lotus phantom and began to calculate the location of nearby Innate Spiritual Treasures.
With previous experience, Qin Muling easily obtained a result that was close to the mark. Coupled with the increasing number of valuable items in their possession, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's combat power, both as herself and as an incarnation, continued to rise, making it easier for her to exterminate those chaotic creatures.
"Sister, are the positions of these Innate Spiritual Treasures fixed?"
"Of course. Innate Spiritual Treasures that are still in the process of maturing and haven't emerged yet have infinite possibilities. However, once they appear, the number and completeness of the Innate Primordial Seals contained within them are basically fixed and cannot be changed!"
"In that case, is there any way in the chaotic void to enhance the innate power of those Innate Spiritual Treasures that have already emerged?" Qin Muling continued to ask.
"It's hard to say!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao frowned and said, "I've heard rumors about this in the Upper Realm before. It is said that there are several special Innate Spiritual Objects deep in the chaotic void of the Primordial Chaos that can quickly repair damaged Innate Spiritual Treasures and even increase the number and completeness of the Innate Primordial Seals, allowing them to reach a higher level!"
"But it's just a rumor. I have never seen such things. Some top experts might have seen them, but for various reasons, they couldn't obtain them. Otherwise, the power structure in the Upper Realm wouldn't be what it is today!"
"I understand."
Qin Muling nodded. If a powerful figure had obtained such special Innate Spiritual Objects, their superpower would have long been able to dominate the entire Upper Realm. How could they still be in a state of fragmentation and constant warfare until now?
"Would a sufficient amount of Heavenly Merit be able to achieve a similar effect?"
"In theory, it should be possible. However, no one has tried it because the amount of Heavenly Merit required is too large. Even those superpowers in the Upper Realm might not be able to bear it, so there is no need to discuss this possibility."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said, but a hint of realization flashed in her mind. With Qin Muling's status, she wondered if she could obtain enough Heavenly Merit in the future. There should be a chance, right?
According to rumors, the treasure in Dao Court that can continuously generate Heavenly Merit comes from the depths of the Primordial Chaos. However, the amount of Heavenly Merit it can obtain in a unit of time is limited and far from enough to be squandered at will.
It is precisely because of this treasure that Dao Court has been able to continue to grow and become one of the most powerful forces in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Moreover, those who Ascended in previous years have also established considerable foundations in the Upper Realm.
At this moment, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's early return, coupled with Emperor Qing Huan's faction breaking away from Dao Court in practice for Qin Muling, made it seem like Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the Female Cultivators Union Alliance were overshadowing Dao Court. In fact, their power and heritage were still quite considerable.
If one day in the future, those who have Ascended from Dao Court also return to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, the pressure on the Female Cultivators Union Alliance will still not be small.
However, on the other hand, as long as Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's cultivation realm can advance further, she can ensure that Dao Court is always suppressed.
After all, among the powerful figures in Dao Court in the Upper Realm, the most formidable ones are only on par with the Immortal Venerable Qing Yao when she first returned, and there is no distinction between high and low. But now that she has Qin Muling as her companion, completely severing her three corpses and even achieving Unified Harmony of the three corpses is just a matter of time. Why should she compare herself to them?
The Starship transformed into a stream of light, traversing through the chaotic tides in the depths of the violent chaos. Whenever they encountered suitable opportunities, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would take action to kill all the nearby chaotic creatures and take away the opportunities they were guarding.
One by one, Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Objects kept coming into their hands, each with different uses and varying grades. With Qin Muling present, the boundless Primordial Chaos had become Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's exclusive garden.
However, just over twenty hours later, a strange commotion erupted in the depths of their divine souls once again. The roars and howls of countless chaotic creatures converged rapidly and were approaching at a fast pace.
"They're coming again?"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger arose in her heart. Did these native creatures think she was easy to bully? Did they have to keep pestering her endlessly?
"Since we can't avoid it, should we go all out and kill them for a while before moving to another place?" Qin Muling asked. The Hongmeng Chaos was a super treasure trove, and he didn't want to let it go so easily. However, with these chaotic creatures causing interference and destruction, it would be impossible for him and his senior sister to search for opportunities happily.
"Alright, let's give them an unforgettable lesson!" Immortal Venerable Qing Yao gritted her teeth and took control of the starship, actively heading towards them.
In the blink of an eye, numerous ferocious and monstrous chaotic creatures of various sizes swarmed out from the depths of the chaotic tidal currents. Their aura was terrifying, immeasurable, and they seemed to be like an endless, heavy black cloud sweeping over!
A large black and white flame appeared on Qin Muling's body, rapidly consuming tens of thousands of years of lifespan. As a result, at the cost of this, his cultivation realm was raised all the way to the level of a Great Principal Golden Immortal.
Affected by this, the huge Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus illusion rapidly expanded, enveloping the space of millions of miles in all directions outside the starship. A clear radiance filled the void, suppressing everything with the supreme laws, and the turbulent and chaotic energy instantly became calm.
The oncoming tide of chaotic creatures hesitated and faltered, no matter how the mysterious will in the depths of the tide ordered and scolded, they didn't dare to approach even half a step.
Seizing the opportunity, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao wielded the Primordial Origin Sword Box, which instantly transformed into a size of thousands of miles. In the next breath, countless streams of annihilating sword qi surged out like mercury, covering every chaotic creature within the range of vision.
The terrifying sword qi containing the Dao Rhyme of destruction instantly destroyed the last trace of vitality in most of the creatures, leaving only the kings among them still alive, needing to be finished off.
Even some chaotic creatures with strange forms, mysterious and unpredictable attack methods, and resembling extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, couldn't escape the detection under the suppression of the Azure Lotus illusion. They all revealed their true forms one after another, and were then killed by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao with a single sword.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her incarnation also learned from the previous lesson, always killing within the space covered by the Azure Lotus illusion, never stepping into the outside void, so that those chaotic creatures that were good at ambush and assassination couldn't find a suitable opportunity to strike.
After a while, all the chaotic creatures within the range of the Azure Lotus illusion were slaughtered, and then a large pile of life essence source crystals were taken by her and sent back to the interior of the starship.
Qin Muling didn't keep these crystals either. He immediately threw them into the depths of the Azure Lotus illusion for refining and absorption, rapidly recovering the lost lifespan and further expanding the range of his internal space.
He now understood that the cost of consuming forty thousand years of lifespan could maintain the cultivation realm of a Great Principal Golden Immortal for an hour. However, the number of chaotic creatures that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao could kill during this period, as well as the quantity of life essence source crystals she could bring back, far exceeded their previous expectations.
So, this is a foolproof deal.
Then why hesitate? Just keep dealing with them like this!
Qin Muling didn't believe that there would be so many chaotic creatures that they couldn't kill. Let's see if they reproduce faster or if Senior Sister's Primordial Origin sword aura kills faster!
Chaos does not keep track of time, and hundreds of hours quietly pass.
Without being injured, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her incarnation only need to charge back and forth a few times to roughly clear the chaotic creatures within the range of the Azure Lotus illusion. Even those savage beast kings known for their strong physical bodies can only be dealt with a few more blows.
The chaotic beast tide that rushed into the Azure Lotus illusion changed wave after wave. In the end, the mysterious will deep within the tide couldn't hold back anymore. After a series of roars, those chaotic creatures, no different from cannon fodder, retreated one after another, replaced by a large group of never-before-seen fellows.
Judging from their aura, their strength is generally close to that of the king-level chaotic creatures. They are completely black, with snake heads, turtle shells, eagle claws, and leopard tails. They are covered in thick black flames, resembling the Black Tortoise divine beast. Each one is tens of thousands of miles in size.
These big guys formed a tight formation, and their huge mouths let out earth-shattering roars as they approached slowly.
"Young Junior Brother, lend me your Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore for a moment!"
The young girl in the green dress said solemnly. If the rules of the Azure Lotus illusion had limited suppression effects on these big guys, they would have to think of another way.
Qin Muling agreed and handed her the dark golden small cauldron.
The young girl in the green dress turned into a stream of light and left the starship. She poured her mana into it, and suddenly the surrounding void became turbulent, with rolling golden light spreading in all directions like flames. A towering and majestic golden cauldron illusion appeared, exuding supreme authority that suppressed the heavens!
The hundreds of chaotic creatures charging ahead didn't have time to react and were immediately enveloped by the domain of the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore. The immense force crushed them like ancient stars.
These big guys let out a series of screams, their bodies rapidly shrinking. Soon, they were only a hundred or so miles in size. Then, countless sharp sword auras poured down, beheading their heads, followed by their bodies being dismembered.
In a moment, this wave of highly anticipated chaotic creatures was still completely killed by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, leaving behind piles of life essence crystals.
The status of the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore may not be as high as the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus, but after all, it is a heavy weapon with forty-nine complete Innate Hongmeng treasure seals, so it is not surprising that it can unleash such terrifying power.
However, Qin Muling is still far from growing up. The Great Principal Golden Immortal and the Quasi-Saint Emperor are not the end points. At this stage, they are no match for the power of the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore. This is a normal result.
After this round of attacks, the mysterious will deep in the tide finally understood: unless it personally intervenes, it is impossible to kill these audacious intruders and reclaim the sacred objects.
However...
After a moment of silence in the depths of the tide, a hazy and elusive figure quietly appeared, stepping on the void and walking towards the position of the Azure Lotus phantom.
It seemed to be in the form of a human, but its body was condensed from compressed gray mist, and its face had no features, only a rolling and restless mist, eerie and terrifying.
At the moment when Qin Muling saw it, he felt a strong shock in his mind, his hands and feet turned cold, and a long-lost sense of fear surged up, as if his archenemy in destiny had appeared before his eyes.
"Younger Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
The stunning beauty beside him keenly noticed his reaction and reached out to hold him, asking.
"I'm not sure, I just feel that this thing is very terrifying..."
Qin Muling's voice was somewhat dry, and he didn't know how to describe his current feelings.
Could it be that powerful artifacts like the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus also have enemies?
It should be so. It was said that when the owner of the Genesis Star Palace brought himself back to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, he was also besieged by many powerful Innate chaotic gods and demons, and he was able to escape at the cost of serious injuries.
The mysterious existence that appeared before him should belong to that kind of extremely powerful Innate chaotic god and demon, right?
...
The stunning beauty looked at the mysterious figure with doubt. She didn't have a similar feeling, although this guy did look really scary.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her incarnation retreated to the front of the starship, on guard. This was the core area where the suppression effect of the Azure Lotus phantom and the laws of the divine cauldron were the strongest, so it should be safe.
The person-shaped figure condensed from the gray mist came to the edge of the Azure Lotus phantom's area and slowly stopped, staring at the starship with a face without features, silent.
But Qin Muling in the starship knew that the other party was scrutinizing him.
"...So it's really you? I didn't expect that after so long, you are still alive... and have successfully taken shape!"
After a long time, the figure spoke slowly, with a sinister and unpredictable voice echoing in his and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's spiritual level.
Qin Muling steadied his mind and responded, "So you recognize me?"
"Hehe..."
The mysterious figure laughed sinisterly, "That woman took you away at all costs, causing this deity's plan to fail. I haven't forgotten this debt until now."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao: "..."
Qin Muling: "..."
He roughly understood the whole story. Perhaps the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed back then was a sacrifice carefully prepared by the mysterious existence in front of him, allowing it to achieve a crucial opportunity for transcendence?
Unfortunately, at the critical moment, it was snatched by the owner of the Genesis Star Palace, causing it to fail, and it has been resentful ever since.
Moreover, it seems that opportunities like the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed are unique existences, so even after so many years, it has not been able to find a suitable substitute?
Qin Muling remained silent for a while before asking, "So now, what do you plan to do? Will you do whatever it takes to kill me and take me back?"
"Otherwise, what do you think?"
He sneered a few times. This irreplaceable opportunity was something that no one could possibly give up. If he didn't take action now, and let him grow in the future, where would there be such a suitable opportunity?
"Unfortunately, you can't do it!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said coldly, "As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching a hair on him!"
In the past, the owner of Genesis Star Palace could fight to the death for Qin Muling and this guy. Today, she could do the same.
She wanted to prove in this way: not only the one from Genesis Star Palace, but she also had the qualifications to possess Qin Muling and receive his favor.
"..."
The mysterious figure fell silent for a moment, then said ominously, "You are not even as good as that woman back then, and you can't be a match for me!"
"Is that so? Why don't you give it a try then!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled faintly. The owner of Genesis Star Palace was indeed stronger in cultivation realm, but she didn't have the same favorable conditions as she did back then.
Now that Qin Muling was by her side, and she had the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore and the Primordial Origin Sword Box as powerful weapons, if a war were to break out, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao was confident that both sides would suffer.
Even if she sacrificed all her avatars, as long as she protected Qin Muling, no matter how great the loss, there was hope to make up for it afterwards. What did she have to worry about?
The mysterious figure's tone hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "The Good Fortune Azure Lotus is the key to my transcendence. Back then, I went through countless hardships and paid a great price to snatch it from that place, thinking that I had a chance to transcend, but I didn't expect that woman to interfere at a critical moment..."
"There is no reason to give up this item, but... as long as you are willing to hand over the Good Fortune Azure Lotus to me, I will no longer hold you accountable for taking away the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore. I can even give you two more Innate Hongmeng treasures. What do you think?"
"Well..."
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao looked at him in surprise for a moment. This thing, which she didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, actually started talking about conditions with her?
It was simply... unheard of!
She shook her head gently, "Isn't that too little? You want to exchange the Good Fortune Azure Lotus for such a small benefit? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"How about adding one more?"
"Are you kidding me? Even adding ten or a hundred more is not enough!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao smiled and said, "How about this, you give me ten thousand Innate Hongmeng treasures, ten thousand Innate spiritual objects, and they must be treasures of a level no lower than the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore! In addition, add one hundred trillion merits of heaven and earth! Then the deal is done! How about that?"
Now even Qin Muling in the starship was shocked by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's outrageous conditions, and even doubted if he had misheard.
What kind of concept was ten thousand Apex Level Innate Hongmeng treasures?
I'm afraid it would be impossible to gather that many even if you searched the vast and boundless chaos of Hongmeng. Just think about how many Innate Hongmeng treasures there have been in the Upper Realm over the years? Not many, right?
Sure enough, there was a hint of anger in the tone of the mysterious figure, "Are you playing with me?"
"Yes, I am playing with you!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "In short, if you can't come up with such a price, don't even think about getting the Innate Hongmeng Good Fortune Azure Lotus!"
"Then... we'll have to compete!"
The mysterious figure sighed, "Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can a lowly human junior like you have such good fortune? Just hand it over!"
As he spoke, the chaotic void for billions of miles around suddenly solidified...
