Chapter 213 Transcending Tribulation
Chapter 213: Group Transcending Tribulation
As expected by the women of Yu Lingzhou, under the protection of Qin Muling's current luck, the True Immortal tribulation of the senior sisters passed smoothly without any waves. After investigating himself, Qin Muling discovered that the depletion of his own luck was less than one-thousandth, and it could be fully restored through half a night of cultivation.
Therefore, within one day, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace gained five more True Immortals, and they were all exceptional geniuses at the level of Tianjiao. This kind of situation was probably impossible in any other Supreme Dao lineage except for Dao Court.
According to Qin Muling's investigation, the five senior sisters, due to being suppressed at the peak of the Origin Immortal level for too long, directly advanced to the mid-level of True Immortal after successfully transcending their tribulations. Of course, this was also related to the generous rewards given by Dao Court in the beginning.
At the True Immortal level of cultivation, one could command Acquired Spiritual Treasures to fight against enemies, easily refine Law Treasures and genuine pills of any grade, and possess a lifespan of millions of years. In terms of status and prestige, it was far beyond what Origin Immortals could compare to. According to the customs of those Supreme Dao lineages and super sects, only those who reached the True Immortal realm would be qualified to become the elders of the sect in the future and enjoy the best resources and offerings.
Naturally, these benefits made Yu Binghua, Qi Shuyu, Su Yunmo, and the other women envious. They all made up their minds to accelerate their progress in guiding their junior brother.
At this time, Mu Yinghua had already issued an order to count the number of disciples in the sect who met the conditions for transcending their tribulations, and then arrange them in batches for transcending tribulations under Qin Muling's protection.
Before the grand gathering of immortals, with the help of Qin Muling's luck, the number of disciples who successfully transcended their tribulations had accumulated to more than three thousand, including seven True Immortal-level powerhouses. The appearance of this group of new forces played an indispensable role in defending the sect's territory and protecting it from the calamity of the Demon Race.
If it weren't for them, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have suffered much greater losses in the calamity, and many important territories might not have been able to be defended, resulting in the deaths of countless mortals.
Soon, the list of female cultivators who met the conditions for transcending their tribulations was delivered to Qin Muling, and even the order in which they would transcend their tribulations had been arranged properly.
"Unbelievable, there are so many?" Qin Muling furrowed his brows slightly in the Cave Mansion. Just the number of female cultivators who needed to transcend the Immortal Transformation tribulation exceeded sixty thousand, far exceeding his previous estimate.
"This is the accumulation of the sect's strength over nearly ten thousand years. It's normal to have so many, right?" Qi Yalan, who was busy massaging his legs while kneeling on the soft white carpet, explained in a leisurely manner. She wore a gorgeous and translucent dress, with a hollowed-out golden necklace adorned with pink gemstones on her slender neck. Under the bright pearl light, it shimmered with a charming and enchanting luster. Her dark and beautiful eyes were gentle and seemed as if they were about to drip with water.
"Yes, that makes sense." Qin Muling gently stroked the silky hair of his third senior sister and felt his blood gradually boiling.
The eldest senior sister smiled and said, "In other Supreme Dao lineages and super sects, the number of cultivators who are stuck at their cultivation level and dare not transcend their tribulations is probably even greater. There's nothing difficult to understand about it."
According to the customs of the Extreme Void Starry Sky cultivation world, one generation is usually considered to be a thousand years, and the lifespan of a cultivator in the Destiny Realm can reach nearly ten thousand years. Therefore, among these female cultivators who needed to transcend their tribulations, the oldest ones were already disciples from ten generations ago.
Because they didn't have the confidence to withstand the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, these female cultivators had been stuck at their cultivation level, biding their time. Some of them even had only a few years of lifespan left.
Qin Muling nodded slightly, "If the sect can suddenly increase by more than sixty thousand Immortal Transformation cultivators, the available combat power would be very abundant, right?"
"Definitely, certain powerful killing formations passed down by the sect require a sufficient number of high-level cultivators to work together. Once this matter is completed, the power gap between us and the hostile forces in the surrounding area will only continue to grow!"
Speaking of business matters, Qi Yalan's movements under the table paused for a moment. She raised her delicate head and wiped her glossy and charming lips with a snow-white silk scarf pulled from her ample and full chest. Gracefully, she stood up and sat next to him, her voluptuous and enchanting figure naturally settling by his side.
Yu Binghua, who was next to them, blushed at the sight. Considering that she was now the junior brother's Dao companion, she hesitated for a moment, intending to come over and take over the service from the third senior sister. However, she was stared back by a glance from Luo Wanqing.
Immediately, the fourth senior sister, with her stunning and hot figure, skillfully moved her body under the table, half kneeling on the carpet, and continued to massage the junior brother's legs.
"Well then, let's listen to Master's arrangement."
Qin Muling nodded.
Mu Yinghua's intention was for him to protect all these disciples who could transcend the tribulation at once. In this way, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would have more than 60,000 Immortal Transformation realm cultivators, greatly increasing their overall strength. Moreover, with a lifespan of 129,600 years, they would have the opportunity to break through to higher realms.
As for those female cultivators who reached the peak of the Immortal Ascension realm and needed to cross the Origin Immortal tribulation, the total number was also close to 60,000.
This was because female cultivators in the Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension realms had longer lifespans. Over the course of more than 120,000 years, the accumulation of generations of disciples resulted in such a large number. This didn't even include those disciples who perished halfway due to various accidents and tribulations.
However, as they progressed further, the number of female cultivators who needed to cross the True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, and even Golden Immortal tribulations would be much smaller. After all, beyond the Origin Immortal realm, it would become increasingly difficult to break through to new realms. Without special encounters, many cultivators might not even find the path to the next realm after enduring millions of years until their lifespan was exhausted.
Of course, with Qin Muling present, these seemingly unsolvable problems were no longer an issue.
Early the next day, when Qin Muling arrived at the Immortal Ascension Platform, he saw a large group of white-robed female cultivators wearing veils standing in a neat formation. There were a total of 360 of them, all at the peak of the Destiny Realm. They were the first group of cultivators who needed to cross the Immortal Transformation tribulation.
They all looked young, and each one had a beautiful appearance, with a variety of styles ranging from cute young girls to mature and elegant women.
Thanks to the cultivation techniques passed down by Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, these female cultivators never aged. Even if their lifespan was about to end, they would only show signs of aging a few hours before dissipating their cultivation and passing away.
When Qin Muling appeared, the 360 female cultivators all bowed and saluted, respectfully greeting him.
Qin Muling simply nodded in acknowledgment. With his current special status, he deserved such treatment, even though these female cultivators had much higher seniority and experience than him.
"...Hundreds of cultivators gathering together to transcend the tribulation in the history of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, I'm afraid it has never happened before. Fortunately, this Immortal Ascension Platform is large enough, otherwise, it would be too crowded."
Qin Muling muttered to himself. He sat down behind the table, which was already filled with various rare spiritual fruits and delicacies, as well as a wide variety of high-grade and supreme-grade wines and nectars, allowing him to indulge himself.
After obtaining his permission, the 360 female cultivators carefully released the seals on their cultivation, completely unleashing their aura. The laws of heaven and earth immediately responded, strong winds rose, and the sky above changed dramatically as countless dark clouds gathered.
Soon, the world became dim, the temperature dropped sharply, and numerous mysterious and indistinguishable black shadows swarmed around, hovering in the air around the Immortal Ascension Platform. They resembled bloodthirsty sharks, ready to pounce at any moment and devour the souls and blood of the cultivators undergoing the tribulation. These were the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons that made cultivators tremble at the mention of them.
Qin Muling silently operated the Profound Azure Technique, and a huge Azure Lotus shadow flashed by, immediately followed by the appearance of a Qingzi Celebration Cloud Canopy that covered the entire Immortal Ascension Platform, spanning five layers vertically and hundreds of acres in circumference. Within the splendid and colorful radiance, countless golden lights, rainbow-colored immortal palaces, and countless galaxy shadows faintly resonated with the mysterious rhythm of the void.
The more cultivators gathered for the Transcending Tribulation, the more terrifying the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. However, Qin Muling had already supported fellow disciples through the Transcending Tribulation multiple times, so he understood that this kind of Heavenly Tribulation was only an increase in quantity, and the quality remained at the level of the Immortal Transformation realm. There would be no absurd situation where one had to overcome the tribulation of a Golden Immortal before becoming an Origin Immortal.
At this moment, silence enveloped the surroundings. The peaks in the distance were empty, without a single figure of spectators. Mu Yinghua had specifically requested this, so many elders had cleared the area in advance, even temporarily driving away the nearby spiritual birds and beasts.
For Qin Muling, the process of Transcending Tribulation was calm and uneventful. By the time he had eaten and drunk his fill, the Heavenly Tribulation was already nearing its end.
As the thick tribulation clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, bursts of cheers erupted from the Immortal Ascension Platform. Even some usually cold and proud female cultivators couldn't help but lose their composure, and a few of them were so excited that tears streamed down their faces.
It was like a patient who had been suffering from a chronic illness and was on the brink of death, thinking that they were bound to die. But unexpectedly, with the arrival of the medicine, not only did they fully recover, but they also gained a longer lifespan to enjoy. The excitement and surging emotions were indescribable in words.
The aura containing the laws of the Immortal Dao and belonging to Immortal Transformation realm cultivators rose up one after another, filling the sky with golden brilliance, colorful splendor, and faint sounds of celestial music lingering and reverberating.
"...Junior Martial Brother, we owe you a great debt this time! There's no need to thank me, just let me know if you need anything in the future!" A beautiful woman with crescent eyebrows and starry eyes, gentle and serene, took off her veil and walked over to bow, speaking sincerely. Her clear and watery eyes gazed deeply at the purple-robed handsome youth in front of her.
"Senior Martial Sister, there's no need for such formalities. It was just a small effort." Qin Muling replied warmly. These female cultivators had received his great favor, so naturally, they would listen to him. As long as he wished, no one could take away the position of the future Sect Master of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
"Junior Martial Brother, do you have some free time later? Why not come to Senior Martial Sister's Cave Mansion for a chat? Senior Martial Sister has some insights in the art of tea and cooking, guaranteed to satisfy you!" Another elegant and graceful beauty approached, her voice soft and gentle. Her snow-white dress had a faintly exquisite floral pattern on the silk strapless bodice, with a deep and bottomless central cleavage.
"Well... I'm too busy right now. So many Senior Martial Sisters are waiting to transcend their tribulations. Let's talk about it later!" Qin Muling replied tactfully. If he were to accept every invitation from each Senior Martial Sister to thank him, he wouldn't have to do anything else and would just eat banquets every day.
"Junior Martial Brother, I see that your Cave Mansion is a bit deserted and lacks someone to take care of it. How about... Senior Martial Sister takes care of it for you? I won't let you down!" Another stunning and confident beauty approached, her smile radiant. "And I have also taken in two personal disciples with decent aptitude and appearance. They have admired you for a long time. How about they come together to serve as your maidservants? You will definitely like them!"
Qin Muling: "..."
He didn't expect this Senior Martial Sister to be so open-minded. He had only helped her through a tribulation, yet she directly lowered her status to come and work for him, and even wanted to bring her disciples along? It was simply...
"This fox is quite clever, thinking of climbing up the pole?"
The gazes of the surrounding female cultivators were also somewhat subtle, silently cursing in their hearts. But thinking about how opportunities had to be fought for, they all agreed that this junior brother from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the only one in millions of years, had limitless potential. Even if they could only become a servant or a maid by his side, they would surely benefit greatly.
"Junior brother, I am a senior pharmacist of the sect. In the future, you can come specifically for me to take care of the spiritual field medicine garden!"
"Junior brother, I can also..."
"Junior brother!"
"Junior brother!"
"..."
Numerous female cultivators surrounded Qin Muling, chattering and clamoring around him. Some bold and unrestrained female cultivators even reached out to pull him, their voluptuous and charming bodies intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against him, trying to please and flatter him.
"Enough, will you ever stop!"
The voice of the senior sister suddenly came with a hint of anger, startling the female cultivators. Subconsciously, they stopped their actions and turned to look.
They saw Xue Bingxuan, elegant and noble, her face calm like water, floating over like a gust of wind and holding Qin Muling's arm.
Her sharp gaze swept around, and she said coldly, "Transcending Tribulation is over. It's better for all of you to quickly go back and stabilize your cultivation. If the immortal principles that you have painstakingly condensed dissipate again due to distractions, it would be a great loss!"
"Junior brother has a heavy task and needs to support the next batch of senior sisters and senior brothers in Transcending Tribulation. He doesn't have time to fool around with all of you!"
"Alright, alright!"
Whether they liked it or not, the female cultivators could only obediently agree. Facing the senior sister who had already reached the True Immortal level, they didn't have the confidence to negotiate with her.
Xue Bingxuan snorted and tightly embraced Qin Muling's waist, soaring into the sky.
"Junior brother, you have quite the charm! Just helping them through their tribulation, and they're already interested in you!"
In mid-air, Xue Bingxuan said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"I didn't promise them anything!"
Qin Muling looked innocent. It was only natural for these female cultivators to be grateful to him for giving them a new lease on life.
But Qin Muling could swear on the grand conscience of his senior sisters that he had no intention of taking advantage of this opportunity to engage in any improper relationships. Really.
