Chapter 108: Give it a Try and Die

Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the main altar of the sect.

Standing on the main peak and looking into the distance, the vast sky has been rendered pure gold by boundless golden light. Countless colorful phoenixes and blue birds fly in the sky, with brilliant light and purple clouds pervading the horizon. Above the clouds, thousands of flag gates, battle platforms, and law altars appear and disappear like illusions. Bright starlight contains abundant and pure spiritual energy, like the rushing water of the Milky Way, covering the entire landmass.

In mid-air, a large number of high-level female cultivators with different styles and temperaments are stationed in various formation eyes. Under the unified command of the Supreme Sect Master, they integrate their own mana with the entire formation, ensuring the stable operation of the formation.

After half an hour, when the power of the formation has reached its peak, a giant dragon, hundreds of miles thick, condensed from boundless seven-colored starlight, slowly emerges from the main body of the landmass and probes into the depths of the void, seemingly slow but actually fast.

This is the phenomenon when the sect's protective mountain formation is fully activated. Since the end of the blood battle tens of thousands of years ago, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has never caused such a big commotion.

After a while, the seven-colored starlight dragon slowly retracts, pulling a floating landmass with a radius of thousands of miles.

This floating landmass was originally a part of the main body of the landmass. It was shattered during the blood battle tens of thousands of years ago and scattered throughout the void. Now, with the return of the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower, as well as the massive resources obtained from the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace have enough capital to advance this grand project, gathering these landmass fragments and restoring the original appearance of the landmass.

Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace tens of thousands of years ago was still a true ancient super sect. The landmass where the main altar of the sect is located was more than four times larger than it is now. Unfortunately, it was shattered in the later blood battle, and even the protective mountain formation of the sect was no longer intact, naturally greatly weakening its power.

Only by gathering all these scattered landmass fragments and repairing the entire landmass can the power of the grand formation be restored, laying the foundation for the eternal supremacy of the super sect.

In a short while, the retrieved floating landmass is placed in the designated edge area and completely merges with the landmass. Boundless light and purple clouds spread over, followed by a downpour of abundant spiritual energy, falling on the surface of the floating landmass, rapidly repairing the surface environment that has been dry and weathered for many years.

Under the effect of the grand formation, it won't take long for these returned landmass fragments to restore the appearance of the Grotto-Heaven blessed land, indistinguishable from the main body of the landmass.

Deep in the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, the bronze palace ship of the Palace of Calamitous Fate is hidden behind a huge asteroid belt, silent.

Inside the palace ship, the holy and majestic Saintess Mei Qingfeng sits alone at the head, and surprisingly, her appearance is exactly the same as the Supreme Sect Master Yulian Xianzun of the Huaqing Divine Palace.

Those who know the inside story are aware that this is a special ability of the Saintess of the Palace of Calamitous Fate. It not only imitates the appearance, but also accurately imitates the fluctuations of the divine soul, the cultivation aura, and the destiny, even concealing it from close friends and senior fellow disciples. There is only one in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.

Around the Saintess, there are dozens of elders sitting around a huge magical projection mirror, which clearly shows the various changes in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace main altar.

At first, there was only one starlight dragon, then ten, then a hundred... Numerous starlight dragons continuously evolve from the main body of the protective mountain formation, probing into the depths of the void, pulling back the scattered floating landmass fragments in different spatial domains batch by batch.

The smallest of these floating landmass fragments is only a few hundred miles, and the largest can reach over ten thousand miles. Due to their large size, they can even retain separate atmospheres and ecological environments.

In the past tens of thousands of years, the high-level elders of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace have also carried out small-scale projects to repair the landmass, pushing back some nearby floating landmass fragments one by one. However, due to the lack of assistance from the protective mountain formation, the efficiency has always been very low.

Every time the protective mountain formation is fully activated, it requires a huge amount of resources to support it. Not to mention, the terrifying consumption of spiritual stones and crystals alone is enough to drive people crazy.

Using the unique divination technique of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, every time a piece of floating landmass returns, the atmosphere of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace main altar undergoes subtle changes, and the fortune gradually recovers and strengthens.

After three days and three nights, the main body of the landmass, with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, has faintly increased by one circle. At this moment, the brilliance of the protective mountain formation gradually dims, gradually ending its full operation state.

The elders of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, who have deep cultivation, were extremely patient. They concentrated from the beginning to the end, only now relaxing and starting to whisper to each other:

"...Finally, it's come to an end."

"Mm, it took much longer than we estimated. It seems that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has accumulated a lot of resources over the past ten thousand years. The consumption of the Mountain Protection Array, which was used with full force, was quite exaggerated. I never expected them to be able to hold on for such a long time."

"The key is the return of the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower. Without this important artifact, the Mountain Protection Array of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace can only exert two to three percent of its power at most."

"That's right. Repair the Pinnacle Origin Limitless Soft Water Banner and return it to the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower. With these two artifacts guarding, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace can regain some of its former superpower status. Otherwise, facing the malicious blockade of other Supreme sects, they can only barely defend themselves."

"From the perspective of secret techniques, the overall fortune of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has indeed increased rapidly in the past two years, and its recovery is quite vigorous. Especially after the closure of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, coupled with the smooth progress of completing the giant landmass, its fortune has increased more than threefold compared to several years ago."

"More importantly, this rapid growth trend is still continuing, and there is no sign of stagnation in the short term. Although it cannot be compared to its heyday, it is much stronger than the previous few hundred years!"

From the history of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, it is extremely rare for a declining superpower to return to its peak. Although it is not impossible, the probability is very small. Over millions of years, there have been only a few successful examples, which can be basically ignored.

For the vast majority of Supreme sects and top aristocratic families, they usually only have one chance at fortune. Once it is exhausted, there is no more. The better ones may become third-rate powers struggling to survive or become vassals of others, while the worse ones will simply disappear.

According to the original divination results of the high-level members of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, the best outcome for Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would most likely be annexed by a nearby superpower or divided among several superpowers. It would be difficult for them to preserve their last foundation, let alone rise again.

However, the extraordinary aura displayed by Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has obviously subverted the elders' inherent understanding. In the past, such miscalculations were really rare.

After a long time, Mei Qingfeng's clear and beautiful voice sounded, "How are the surrounding forces reacting?"

Immediately, an elder reported, "Your Highness, Yan Qinyang, the head of Jade Pearl Star Palace, was seriously injured before and is currently in seclusion for recovery. Although he publicly threatened to start a war with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it has only remained at the verbal level and no substantial actions have been taken."

"Bright Moon Sword Sect and Jade Drop Divine Temple are currently observing from the sidelines. From top to bottom, there is no reaction. However, there are signs of lurking among some of their dependent forces, especially those smaller forces closer to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. They are preparing to evacuate their belongings to avoid being targeted in the future."

"The other Supreme sects have basically reacted in the same way."

Regardless of whether certain important figures are willing or not, with Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace now being guarded by the Falling Phoenix Nebula Tower and the Pinnacle Origin Limitless Soft Water Banner, it can no longer be regarded as an ordinary major power. It must be given the appropriate status and respect.

It can be foreseen that in the next period of time, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will inevitably enter a period of expansion or recovery and regain some of its past influence. It is even possible to reclaim the territories of hundreds of large Star Domains.

Mei Qingfeng smiled, "I don't think the person in charge of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will be so impatient. If she can remain patient, she might continue to endure for another hundred or even several hundred years until her strength further recovers and grows. What do you think? After all, those territories are still there, and no one can take them away."

There was silence for a while, and then an elder spoke, "If that's the case, then we need to raise our comprehensive evaluation of Mu Yinghua. Under her leadership, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has a possibility of a comprehensive revival of no less than forty percent, or perhaps even higher."

In the previous analysis and judgment of the high-level members of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, the leader of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's comprehensive abilities were considered to be above average, and she had achieved quite a bit since taking over. However, she still fell short of the standards of a revitalizing leader.

But now, it seems that regardless of fortune or opportunities, Mu Yinghua's performance has completely exceeded their expectations. Therefore, they must overturn their original judgment and give her higher attention.

Mei Qingfeng pondered for a while and nodded, "I agree with this proposal. In addition to her, we should also pay attention to her several direct disciples. After all, the next Supreme leader of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is likely to emerge from among them."

An elder took out two jade slips and handed them over: "Regarding this matter, I almost neglected it. Mu Yinghua's four direct disciples have recently had some astonishing encounters. Their fortunes have greatly increased, and their cultivation has advanced rapidly. They have all reached the level of Immortal Ascension, and based on comprehensive judgment, they fully meet the strict criteria for being extraordinary geniuses."

This news immediately aroused the interest of the elders, and even Mei Qingfeng's expression revealed a hint of surprise. If the information was true, it meant that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace suddenly had four outstanding new generation talents, surpassing most of the Supreme lineages.

Mei Qingfeng quickly read through the information in the jade slip and asked, "It seems that their changes occurred after the opening of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Is it because they obtained some unknown great opportunities in the secret realm? This is not a small matter and must be thoroughly investigated."

"Furthermore, I remember from your previous report that Mu Yinghua seems to have taken on a fifth direct disciple, who is a male. What is the reason for this? Wasn't it said that Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace never accepts male disciples? Could it be because... he is also an extraordinary genius, worthy of the exception made by the Supreme Sect Leader?"

The elder's face showed a hint of embarrassment. "I apologize, Your Highness. We know very little about Mu Yinghua's fifth direct disciple, Qin Muling. The public information says that he is a descendant of Hengyi Patriarch, and his cultivation is only at the initial stage of Infant Formation. His talent is extremely outstanding, but we have no further information. Mu Yinghua seems to be protecting him well and does not allow anyone outside of her direct disciples to contact him."

"We tried to use the Heavenly Mechanism technique to deduce more information, but it returned chaos and we couldn't obtain any meaningful information. Due to the warning signs, we didn't dare to make further attempts in case it caused a backlash from the Heavenly Mechanism."

"That means there is something suspicious," Mei Qingfeng's eyes flickered slightly. When she mentioned the name Qin Muling, she inexplicably felt a sense of crisis and an indescribable resentment.

For the Holy Maiden, who was proficient in various secret techniques of the Palace of Calamitous Fate, this sudden intuition actually revealed a lot of information without needing any other basis.

"Alright then, activate all our undercover agents in Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and gather as much information as possible about Qin Muling. The more detailed, the better. I hope to get results as soon as possible."

In the end, Mei Qingfeng said so.

...

Imperial Dao Peak, inside a stone house on the back mountain.

"He's awake, Junior Brother is awake."

A sweet and pleasant voice filled with joy echoed in his ears. Qin Muling, who had been sleeping on the bed for several days, finally regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was the youthful and beautiful face of his fourth senior sister, radiating a seductive charm that made people almost intoxicated.

"What about them?"

Qin Muling moved his body and still felt a bit sore. In the Illusory Mist Star Abyss, his Master Mu Yinghua had used his fortune to launch a stunning attack that swept away most of the enemies. The price was that Qin Muling's entire body was weakened, and his fortune was greatly damaged. As a self-protection mechanism, his Innate Primordial Spirit Seed caused him to fall into a deep sleep.

Luo Wanqing's enchanting and seductive figure leaned over, her breath fragrant, and she smiled and said, "They are helping you refine your clothes. It should be finished in a while. I'm not good at refining tools, so I stayed here to accompany you."

"Oh."

Qin Muling's eyes turned and looked at Luo Wanqing's beautiful and captivating face, and the flame in his heart couldn't help but surge again.

"Sister, I... I want to..."

"What do you want?"

Luo Wanqing tilted her head slightly, her delicate and beautiful ears leaning in as she listened to Qin Muling's request. Instantly, her face turned red.

"You scoundrel!"

Luo Wanqing was already used to her junior brother's mischievous behavior and lightly pinched him a few times, brushing off the matter.

Qin Muling whispered, "Sister, can I see what you're wearing today?"

Luo Wanqing firmly refused, "No!"

"Just a quick look!"

"Not even a glance!"

With that, Luo Wanqing gracefully walked over and locked the door of the stone room, activating the shielding array before returning to the bed.

Saying one thing but meaning another is always a woman's nature.

Although she said no, Sister's actions had already revealed everything.

Under the burning gaze of her junior brother, Luo Wanqing slowly unbuttoned her embroidered garment, revealing her delicate and flawless skin, her majestic and towering bosom, instantly igniting Qin Muling's blood.

"Is it beautiful?"

A soft and sweet seductive voice sounded in his ear. The bold and daring Fourth Sister didn't have much reservation, and her delicate body pressed against him.

Qin Muling took the opportunity to embrace Sister's slender waist. Luo Wanqing's breathing gradually became rapid, and her voice carried a hint of tenderness and allure. "Do you want to take it further? They won't be back for a while."

Qin Muling hesitated slightly, "Maybe we should just forget about it. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

Once things reached a point of complete honesty, it was easy for things to escalate and become uncontrollable. It could easily lead to irreversible consequences.

However, Luo Wanqing didn't care about all that. She couldn't let this rare opportunity alone with her junior brother go to waste.

Hmm, should they give it a try or not?
