Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 110: Your Task is to Sleep

In the magnificent hall, a mist rose and filled the air.

Qin Muling sat beside her senior sisters, silently listening to the discussions of the sect's affairs by the sect leader and the elders, while also adapting to the power cultivation of her new realm.

In the depths of her sea of consciousness, the lotus leaf phantom derived from the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed had increased from three to four, and had stabilized. It emitted a clear and radiant light, with a mysterious and indescribable aura.

The number of chaotic spiritual lights that emerged from the Azure Lotus phantom increased further, and their volume also grew slightly. Each point of chaotic spiritual light contained a hint of profound and subtle information. They revolved around the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, leaving faint traces of light that merged into Qin Muling's soul and body, continuously enhancing her foundation and talent.

Through the secret method of inner vision, Qin Muling's luck and destiny had fully recovered after breaking through the realm. Both in quality and quantity, they had increased significantly compared to before, more than four times that of when she reached the Infant Formation realm, and they were still increasing.

In terms of luck and destiny, even the highest-ranking elders in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm could no longer compare to Qin Muling.

After reaching the Divine Spirit Realm, Qin Muling discovered that her original divine abilities had been greatly enhanced. For example, her ability to cultivate using the essence of spirit medicine could now increase their potency by two hundred years with just one use. By using it three times every three days, she could fully mature all the newly grown herbs in a medicinal garden.

In the future, as long as Qin Muling wished, she could easily produce large quantities of spirit medicine. This level of resource was in high demand within the sect, from the lowest-ranking disciples to the core disciples. Some high-grade elixirs also required a certain amount of spirit medicine as auxiliary materials during refinement.

In addition, there was the ability of Luck Perception. Previously, only disciples with similar cultivation levels could be accurately assessed. Although higher-level cultivators could be seen, their accuracy could not be guaranteed. But now, cultivators below the True Self Realm could be easily seen through by Qin Muling.

There was also the ability to perceive all formations, restrictions, traps, and curses. The range had expanded to a radius of fifty miles, with a noticeable increase in the upper limit.

The innate divine ability awakened after breaking through the Divine Spirit Realm belonged to the category of healing and recovery. It could gradually restore the physical body and soul, even if they suffered severe injuries or even injuries from the origin of the Great Dao, and even if their vitality was completely depleted.

In fact, this innate divine ability had already taken shape during the Core Condensation Realm stage, but it could only be effective on Qin Muling herself. Now, it could benefit others as well.

However, it was unknown whether this ability would be effective on the senior elders who were severely injured and in a deep sleep. If it were possible, awakening all the senior elders who were in seclusion, even if only a part of them, would bring about the imminent revival of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.

Qin Muling silently pondered. The direct cause of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's decline was the severe lack of high-level strategic military power. In the catastrophe of the past, nearly half of the senior elders perished, and the remaining ones were almost all injured or forced to reincarnate with their remnants of souls. This made the sect unable to resist the siege of other superpowers.

In addition to these abilities, what surprised her senior sisters the most was the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment. It had significantly improved compared to before, about thirty to forty percent.

Xue Bingxuan had made calculations and evaluations. Now, if they cultivated in secret with Qin Muling for ten days, it would be equivalent to their own seclusion and cultivation for two years.

For high-level cultivators, several decades or even hundreds of years of seclusion were nothing. Because of this, her senior sisters were already considering using a time acceleration formation, allowing Qin Muling to accompany them in secret cultivation in the secret realm for a hundred and eighty years. By the time they emerged from seclusion, they would most likely have reached the Origin Immortal Realm, while only a few months would have passed in the outside world.

I'm not sure if the Master will agree, after all, the lifespan of a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator in the Human race is only two thousand years, which is not enough to be squandered. According to the past practices of the sect, cultivators below the Heart Demon Realm are not allowed to use the time acceleration array for cultivation.

The breakthrough to a new realm requires many strict conditions to be met, so the role of the time acceleration array is not omnipotent. Many unlucky cultivators often exhaust their lifespan in the array without successfully breaking through, and ultimately can only sit and wait for death.

"... Up until yesterday, Jade Pearl Star Palace, Bright Moon Sword Sect, Jade Drop Divine Temple, and dozens of other major forces in the surrounding area have sent more than one group of spies to spy on the sect's main altar. Especially the high-level members of Jade Pearl Star Palace and Jade Drop Divine Temple have issued multiple strong warnings, demanding that we stop the dangerous act of repairing the giant land body, otherwise they will take substantial measures to stop our actions!"

Mu Yinghua's indifferent and mocking voice echoed in the hall, and the faces of the senior elders present were not good. This was originally Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's own business, but those people dared to meddle and even threatened with force. It was clear that they had not yet adapted to the significantly increased strength and status of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.

After a moment of silence, Yu Lingzhou said, "It seems that we will face war soon, and perhaps the hostile forces in the surrounding area will unite to wage war against us."

Yu Lingzhou nodded, "Since we cannot avoid it, let's prepare for war with all our might! Thanks to Qin Muling, we now have such a great advantage. If we dare not respond forcefully to their provocations, there is no need to talk about the plan for the revival of the sect. We might as well go back and have children!"

The project of repairing the giant land body cannot be abandoned halfway, and the surrounding forces will not sit idly by as Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's strength gradually recovers. This major conflict of interests cannot be reconciled, so war is the inevitable result.

The Lord of the Hall of Penal Law, Fenghua Immortal Lord, said leisurely, "They can join forces to cause trouble, don't we have allies? The Great Brahman Temple, Heavenly Witch Divine Dynasty, and Lu Hua Palace have publicly declared their support for us. There is no need to worry too much."

The elders nodded one after another. Jade Pearl Star Palace and Jade Drop Divine Temple also have enemies. As long as they make a move, their past adversaries will not sit idle. Therefore, they will not dare to use all their strength to target Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, which provides an opportunity to overcome the enemy.

Moreover, there is the Palace of Calamitous Fate as a powerful ally in fact. Although they are not good people, they can still be used at the current stage, so Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace does not need to worry too much.

"... That's it then. The project of repairing the giant land body should not be stopped, but accelerated. In addition, inform all the elders in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm who are cultivating in seclusion. As long as they can still fight, they must be prepared for battle."

Mu Yinghua said at the end, and the elders had no objections. It is now a critical moment. As long as the sect survives, the future will be boundless. If it does not, it will be a disaster. Therefore, there is no need to hide any cards.

After the meeting, the elders dispersed to carry out their tasks, leaving only Qin Muling and a few senior sisters behind.

"Master, I..."

Qin Muling was interrupted by Mu Yinghua, "You don't need to think about anything. Just go back and rest. The situation of the sect is not so dire that a Divine Spirit Realm disciple needs to go to the front lines."

Even if Qin Muling's talent is outstanding, it is currently impossible for her to contend against a cultivator in the Heart Demon Realm, let alone the Destiny Realm. The sect does not lack cultivators at that level.

Mu Yinghua thought that Qin Muling also wanted to do some tasks, so she straightforwardly refused. As a special disciple, Qin Muling doesn't need to do anything. As long as she can live well and accompany her senior sisters in resting, it is the greatest contribution to the sect.

Luo Wanqing stood up and grabbed Qin Muling, saying, "Junior Brother, let's go fight instead of defying our Master."

"It's not like that," Qin Muling insisted, "Master, I think my newly awakened Divine Ability might be useful to the sect..."

After he finished speaking, Mu Yinghua remained silent for a while, and the senior sisters were all stunned.

This unimaginable ability, in the past, would have been unheard of, but now it appeared in a disciple who only had cultivation in the Divine Spirit Realm. How unfair was the heavenly way?

"Are you sure?" Mu Yinghua finally asked, without waiting for Qin Muling's answer, she continued, "Well, considering your background, this is not impossible. So now, let's go and give it a try!"

With a wave of her sleeve, she took Qin Muling and several senior sisters, and they disappeared into thin air.

The forbidden area behind the sect was a separate Grotto-Heaven realm called the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain. It gathered the most abundant spiritual essence and Dao rhyme. Only the most senior elders had the qualifications to reside and cultivate here, or to enter seclusion.

Mu Yinghua led Qin Muling through a long corridor and passed through dozens of tightly guarded checkpoints before they were able to enter the depths of the realm and arrive at a magnificent grand hall.

The grand hall stretched for thousands of miles, filled with a dense aura of Dao rhyme. Endless rays of light danced lightly, and there seemed to be a profound and vast celestial melody echoing in the depths of their souls.

Xue Bingxuan and the other women were also visiting this place for the first time, and they were momentarily shocked. If ordinary disciples were to cultivate here, the effect might be dozens of times stronger than the ordinary Grotto-Heaven realms outside.

In the center of the grand hall, on a nine-tiered crystal platform, there were huge lotus flowers carved from vibrant green crystals. Each lotus flower cradled a beautiful and ethereal woman, with a total of over seven thousand. Most of them were mature and elegant women, but there were also some young girls.

Their eyes were tightly closed, and their souls and bodies were in a deep sleep, sustaining their vitality and waiting for the moment when their injuries would heal and they could see the light of day again.

Over seven thousand senior elders in deep sleep due to severe injuries may seem like a large number, but considering that this was accumulated over millions of years in the sect, it was understandable.

Qin Muling calmly observed for a moment and found that the women in the best condition had less than a hundred years of lifespan left, even with the deep sleep. If they were to wake up and go out, their lifespan might only be a few days.

As for those in the most critical condition, their souls were like candles in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing. They were barely hanging on, relying solely on the abundant vitality of this Grotto-Heaven realm.

But their cultivation levels were terrifying. One-tenth of the women had cultivation realms surpassing Yu Lingzhou and Yueyi Tianjun. Especially the ones in the central area, even Mu Yinghua couldn't see through their depths.

"This is the essence of our sect's heritage," Mu Yinghua's voice carried a hint of sadness. "They have all been injured and slumbered through numerous calamities. The longest slumber has lasted nearly a million years, while the most recent ones have been thousands of years. The elders who were injured and fell into a deep sleep during the great battle ten thousand years ago only make up a small portion of them."

Qin Muling asked, "Under normal circumstances, less than five percent of the elders would be able to recover, right? As for the rest... without any special encounters, they probably won't have another chance to recover, will they?"

Mu Yinghua calmly replied, "That's correct. But as long as they haven't completely fallen into oblivion, they are still part of our sect's heritage. They remain an intangible strategic deterrent to external enemies. After all, many of these elders can still take action. If our sect truly faces a life-or-death threat, they will use their last breath to fight, dragging one or several enemies of similar cultivation level with them."

For any Supreme lineage, cultivators of this level are indispensable. Losing even one is a great loss. It is precisely because of this that the hostile forces in the surrounding area dare not press Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace too hard. After all, these severely injured and slumbering elders can still take action. Once they are pushed to the point of fighting desperately, no one will have a good outcome.

Qin Muling asked again, "In other Supreme lineages, there should be similar figures, right? And their numbers won't be small either."

"Of course, this is the biggest difference between the old Supreme lineages and the emerging forces. It can only be accumulated and precipitated over a long enough period of time, and cannot be compensated for by means of sudden wealth," Mu Yinghua said. In the Extreme Void Starry Sky, most Supreme lineages are in a similar situation. Some have more, some have fewer, but for various reasons, these elders who have fallen into deep slumber are mostly just decorations, and there are hardly any opportunities to make use of them.

If Qin Muling could find a way to revive these slumbering elders, even if only one percent of them could be restored, it would be great news for the sect. It would mean that there is a significant increase in the available high-end strategic force.

At this moment, inside a green lotus in the peripheral area, a splendid spiritual light flashed and condensed into the figure of a faintly white-robed woman. She gazed at Mu Yinghua and asked softly, "You... are the current sect leader of the sect? Why have you brought a few junior disciples here?"

Mu Yinghua respectfully bowed and said, "Respected ancestor, I am the current sect leader of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. I have come here specifically to disturb you because..."

She briefly explained the reason for their visit, leaving the woman in the white robe astonished. In an instant, she floated in front of Qin Muling, staring at him up and down.

Then, hundreds of fluctuations of divine consciousness appeared successively from those lotuses, all locking onto Qin Muling.

"I see..." A sweet and elegant voice came from the top nine green lotuses.
