Chapter 105: Falling Sunset Star Abyss

At the entrance of the Cave Mansion of the Sect Master, several senior sisters had already been waiting there.

Before long, Qi Yalan and Qin Muling arrived together, riding the wind and landing three hundred zhang away from the Cave Mansion, then walking towards it step by step.

This was an established rule in the sect. Unless it was an urgent matter, whether it was the core elders or disciples of all levels, they could not use the Imperial Sky Riding Art in front of the Cave Mansion of the Supreme Sect Master. Those who violated this rule would be considered disrespectful and would receive severe punishment.

When they approached, Xue Bingxuan said gently, "Junior Brother has arrived, let's go in together. The Sect Master is inside discussing matters with the elders."

Qin Muling glanced over. Despite the beautiful skirts covering them, he could tell that, following Qi Yalan's example, the senior sisters were probably wearing that kind of silk stockings underneath, and they were all styles that they had personally refined. Just thinking about it was inexplicably stimulating.

It was a pity that he had to go and meet the Sect Master now, otherwise they probably wouldn't mind letting him enjoy it to his heart's content.

Luo Wanqing could easily understand what Junior Brother was thinking from his eyes. She gave him a disdainful look and reached out her jade hand to secretly pinch him a few times, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Well, after this matter was over, he would have to come back and fight with Fourth Senior Sister again in the evening.

The six senior sisters and junior brothers entered the Cave Mansion together. On the spacious cloud bed, the Sect Master, Mu Yinghua, sat upright, with more than ten high-level elders sitting on both sides, including Heavenly Lord Yueyi and Yu Lingzhou.

"You've arrived? Then take a seat on the side," Mu Yinghua's majestic and pleasant voice sounded after the six of them paid their respects.

So Qin Muling and the senior sisters took their seats at the lower end, while the elders continued their discussion.

As the sect's saintess and the Supreme Sect Master's direct disciple, the senior sisters had the right to listen in on high-level meetings. Qin Muling's status was even more special. If he was willing, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace might really have a male Sect Master in the future, or at the very least, a man behind the Sect Master.

"...Back then, the situation in the Crimson Cloud Star Domain was critical, so Heavenly Lord Yulang was ordered to lead reinforcements and brought along this Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower. According to reason, the situation should have been stabilized quickly. Unfortunately, the Sect Master of Jade Pearl Star Palace gathered hundreds of strong cultivators to ambush and intercept them halfway. After a fierce battle, although Jade Pearl Star Palace suffered heavy losses and even the Sect Master fell, Heavenly Lord Yulang was also seriously injured and later disappeared into this Falling Sunset Star Abyss..."

Xinyu Immortal Lord, who was in charge of external intelligence affairs, said calmly. The reason why Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was attacked back then was closely related to the inexplicable disappearance of this precious treasure. Otherwise, with it guarding the main altar of the sect, it would not have been so easy for many external enemies to succeed.

For nearly ten thousand years, the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had never given up on searching for the whereabouts of the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower, and only recently did they receive relatively accurate information.

The Lord of the Alchemy Hall, Yun Miao Immortal Lord, asked, "Is the source of this information reliable? Could there be any problems?"

Xinyu Immortal Lord admitted, "It was leaked by someone from the Palace of Calamitous Fate. Although we cannot take them lightly, the information itself is not problematic. As for the intentions of their high-level members, I believe the elders present here are all clear about it."

Qin Muling pondered for a moment, and naturally, a map of the surrounding forces in the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain appeared in her mind. Among them, the most eye-catching force was the Jade Pearl Star Palace, which was flourishing and powerful.

Due to its overwhelming influence, the Supreme Sect had become increasingly arrogant in recent centuries. They even disregarded their past allies and secretly competed with the Palace of Calamitous Fate for control over profitable but illicit businesses.

From the perspective of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, it was only natural to take measures to restrain the further development and expansion of the Jade Pearl Star Palace.

"Alright, even though the people from the Palace of Calamitous Fate have impure motives, this treasure belongs to my Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. Now that we know its exact whereabouts, we must retrieve it as soon as possible," Mu Yinghua said.

Over the past year, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had dispatched many capable individuals to verify the authenticity of the information. They had also deployed a strong force in the entrance area of the Falling Phoenix Nebula to prevent other forces from seizing the opportunity.

After the elders finished their discussions, Yu Lingzhou and Yueyi Tianjun came to sit beside Qin Muling. In this operation, they were responsible for protecting his safety.

As for Xue Bingxuan and the other five senior sisters, they were left at the Imperial Dao Peak to guard it.

"This journey may not be without danger. If we encounter some difficult troubles, I can only do my best to protect Muling's safety. I may not have time to take care of all of you, so it's better for you not to get involved," Mu Yinghua said. The senior sisters felt somewhat frustrated, but their master's words made sense, so they could only follow her instructions.

After a while, a bright red light rose from the Imperial Dao Peak, traversing the vast sky at an almost infinite speed. Within the light was a ship shaped like a maple leaf. This was the personal vehicle of the sect leader, an Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of traversing the void and entering most dangerous places with ease.

In the empty space outside the sect's main altar, there were some obscure and incomprehensible gazes attempting to track the ship. However, after struggling for dozens of breaths, they lost track of the ship and had to give up in frustration.

The speed of the ship was extremely fast, appearing as an indistinguishable streak of light, silently traversing the desolate and dark void. In an instant, it had traveled billions of miles away.

Inside the ship, Mu Yinghua explained the situation of the Falling Phoenix Nebula to Qin Muling. This remote area was not too far away, still within the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain. It used to be within the influence of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace thousands of years ago, but now it was occupied by the Jade Pearl Star Palace.

"This operation must succeed, failure is not an option," Mu Yinghua said with a serious expression. "If the people from the Jade Pearl Star Palace catch wind of it, they will definitely mobilize to stop us. Any unrelated forces may also intervene. We will never have another chance to approach the Falling Phoenix Nebula."

A weapon of this level, like the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower, was enough to suppress the fate of the Supreme Sect. If the possibility of the revival of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace was less than half before, after retrieving this treasure, the probability could increase to about two or three tenths. Although it was still low, it was an undeniable fact that it could significantly enhance their strength and improve the situation of the sect.

Qin Muling asked, "What does disciple need to do?"

"It's simple. Use your aura to protect the elders from the sinister attacks in the Falling Phoenix Nebula. You don't need to worry about anything else," Mu Yinghua said.

Qin Muling nodded, knowing that her aura might be consumed after this operation. However, it would only be temporary, and she would recover after a period of rest. There was no need to worry too much.

The Tianzhou sped along, leaving behind vast expanses of empty land in the sky. These land masses varied in size and shape, with most of them appearing lifeless and devoid of any signs of activity. Only a few of these empty land masses had stable atmospheres, bustling with human activity and numerous cities and nations.

The dangers in the void were everywhere. Mortals and countless low to mid-level cultivators could only rely on these land masses and stars with atmospheres to survive.

After an unknown period of time, the Tianzhou suddenly entered a region of the void filled with dense deathly aura. Desolate stars and fragmented empty land masses floated everywhere, and violent void storms would occasionally rage, even Destiny Realm cultivators would struggle to withstand them without suitable Law Treasures for protection.

A dreamlike and exceptionally beautiful aurora filled the void with its colorful neon lights. This was the terrifying Magnetic Gangsha that made cultivators tremble. Sometimes, it would hide invisible Heavenly Demons that were fierce and malicious. Countless raging thunderfires would sweep across billions of miles of space.

Qin Muling couldn't help but change her expression slightly. This place was still considered the outskirts of the Luoxia Star Abyss, but the dangers here were enough to keep cultivators below the Immortal Ascension realm out. Only the strong who had stepped into the Origin Immortal Realm could ensure their safety with suitable Law Treasures.

Fortunately, the Tianzhou had formidable defenses and the power to resist Heavenly Demon attacks. It continued to advance safely, and if any troublesome situations arose, the hundreds of high-level elders accompanying them would take action.

After several hours.

The surrounding void had become unusually crowded, filled with the remains of dead stars, fragmented mountain peaks, partially melted bronze city walls, shattered palace ruins, unknown giant beast skeletons, and swaths of meteor belts filling the field of vision.

Almost everything imaginable was present, resembling an enormous void junkyard. Qin Muling even saw the skull of a beast the size of a planet, its dark surface shimmering with a phosphorescent green light. She wondered what terrifying power it possessed in its lifetime.

Suddenly, accompanied by rolling space storms, a terrifying figure emitting a horrifying aura appeared. Its blood-red eyes coldly stared at the Tianzhou swiftly traversing the void. With a slight thought, a giant palm the size of a mountain and colored iron-gray materialized out of thin air, fiercely grabbing towards the Tianzhou.

However, before the giant palm could reach the Tianzhou, it was cut into pieces by countless sharp sword auras that suddenly appeared. Then, those sword auras ruthlessly swept over, obliterating both the Heavenly Demon with Mysterious Immortal strength and the giant palm.

"It's the first time I've seen Master take action..."

Inside the Tianzhou, Qin Muling looked at Mu Yinghua with admiration. With a casual strike, she could easily deal with such a terrifying enemy. Qin Muling couldn't fathom the depth of her Master's cultivation.

Above Immortal Transformation Immortal Ascension realm was the Origin Immortal, above Origin Immortal was the True Immortal, and above True Immortal was the Mysterious Immortal. This was a realm that ordinary cultivators could only look up to in their lifetime. Of course, as the highest helmsman of a Supreme Dao lineage, such a level of cultivation was considered ordinary in front of her.

"We're almost there, everyone be careful."

Mu Yinghua said calmly, and the elders immediately became alert, summoning their Law Treasures. Yu Lingzhou and Yueyi Tianjun flanked Qin Muling, guarding her attentively.

In a moment, the Tianzhou quietly flew into a strange void.

The spatial structure here seemed to be constantly undulating, as if one were in an extremely viscous and constantly boiling glue. An unimaginably powerful suction force attacked from all directions, twisting and pulling everything.

Qin Muling quickly calculated and realized that this strange spatial tidal force was strong enough to tear through the defenses of High Grade Law Treasures. Even top-grade Law Treasures could not withstand it for long. Only Acquired Spiritual Treasures could allow them to move around inside for an extended period of time.

Colorful starlight shone from all directions, pure and clear, seemingly illusory yet real, rendering the void into a magnificent and enchanting world of dazzling colors. Among the starlight, there were also splendid clouds and mist, shimmering between reality and illusion.

"Junior apprentice, don't look at those starlights and clouds. They should not be seen with the naked eye or divine consciousness," Yu Lingzhou solemnly warned. The environment in the depths of the Falling Phoenix Nebula was dangerous and unpredictable, filled with inexplicable strangeness that defied common sense. Even she, a powerful cultivator, could easily suffer a setback, let alone someone like Qin Muling with lower cultivation.

At some point, the speed of the celestial ship gradually slowed down, and there was no apparent reason for it.

Mu Yinghua silently estimated the distance and looked at Qin Muling, saying, "From now on, there will be more and more inexplicable and sinister things. You can use your abilities."

Qin Muling nodded and closed his eyes, focusing his mind. A giant Azure Lotus phantom slowly emerged, enveloping the entire celestial ship.

At the same time, Qin Muling's qi fortune began to slowly deplete.

With the help of the Transcendent sense of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, Qin Muling finally saw the true environment in the surrounding starry sky. Strange creatures, each with unique appearances, were surrounding the celestial ship, using various means to desperately squeeze their way inside. The protective barrier had already been eroded by more than half.

Some looked like bloody eyeballs, some like beast claws, some like constantly wriggling intestines, and some like distorted and ferocious human heads. They were all bizarre and varied.

These special beings, existing between illusion and reality, were immune to most Divine Ability spells and Law Treasure Spiritual Treasures. Only a few special Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate divine objects that grew in the depths of chaos could effectively restrain them.

Sure enough, within the envelopment of the Azure Lotus phantom, all the sinister beings retreated, as if they had encountered a natural enemy and dared not approach even half a step closer.

As the sinister beings retreated, the speed of the celestial ship began to increase, getting closer and closer to its destination.

"How amazing! They truly are Innate creatures..." Mu Yinghua pondered. In this treacherous Falling Phoenix Nebula, if it weren't for Qin Muling's presence, at least half of the elders would have been lost in this operation, not to mention the possible obstruction and sabotage from other sects.

Perhaps, by now, there were already a considerable number of powerful cultivators lurking outside the Falling Phoenix Nebula, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Good news is never certain, and bad news is never far away.

This was the current situation in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Whenever there was a chance, any sect would not hesitate to throw stones into the well and set traps for their opponents.

Fortunately, they were unaware of Qin Muling's role, which gave Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace the opportunity to calmly arrange their plans. They could not only smoothly retrieve the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower but also turn the tables and give their enemies a taste of their own medicine.
