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

Chapter 85: Leaving After the Matter is Settled

Inside the stone palace.

The heavy palace doors slowly closed behind them. Qin Muling looked around and found the place quite spacious, with nothing else except for a peculiar tree standing in the center of the hall.

"This is our ultimate goal for this trip!"

Yu Lingzhou's eyes sparkled as she stared at the not-so-tall peculiar tree. Although it was only three zhang tall, it exuded a strange and profound aura, as if it were unfathomable like the vast void. The tree's canopy, which covered an area of about twenty zhang in diameter, was enveloped in colorful clouds, radiating brilliant colors and light.

Among the crystal-clear branches and leaves, there hung twelve fist-sized, golden and radiant fruits. The fruits were almost substantial, filled with profound and immaculate aura of the laws. Yu Lingzhou, the Heavenly Lord Yueyi, focused her senses and nodded, "That's right, this is the legendary heavenly medicine: the Nine Transformations Void Mulberry Divine Tree. It is recorded in the ancient scrolls of our sect. It possesses incredible miraculous effects. With just one fruit, one can defy fate, repair any injuries to the Great Dao, and reshape a perfect Dao Foundation. In the ancient times, it was a forbidden treasure of an immortal Sacred Land. However, it disappeared during a great calamity. I never expected to find one here."

Qin Muling pondered, "Only twelve fruits seem insufficient to distribute. Can we move this divine tree as a whole? If we can transplant it to the Grotto-Heaven realm in our sect's main altar..."

Yu Lingzhou widened her eyes and couldn't believe what he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We don't have the appropriate treasures to move it alive. Besides, we are in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. It's impossible to bring such a huge thing back to the Extreme Void Starry Sky!"

Heavenly Lord Yueyi agreed, "That's right. We shouldn't be too greedy. Obtaining twelve mature heavenly medicine fruits is already our good fortune. If we want more, it may attract calamity."

Qin Muling thought about it and realized they were right. After all, the people from the Supreme Dao Lineages outside were still fighting to the death. Each step forward came at the cost of bloodshed. It was already fortunate enough for their group to arrive here so easily.

Xue Bingxuan was about to reach out but was stopped by Heavenly Lord Yueyi, "Let the junior brother do it. Our luck is not enough. Approaching it rashly may lead to unforeseen circumstances."

"Alright."

Qin Muling agreed and released a trace of the aura from his Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. Step by step, he approached the Nine Transformations Void Mulberry Divine Tree. As expected, the oppressive feeling in the surrounding space gradually faded away, without any impact on him.

He looked up and a green rainbow rose from his hand. When it touched the tree's main body, it conveyed a trace of the primordial spirit's creative inspiration. Then, it gently wrapped around one of the fruits, causing the surrounding law runes to brighten, emitting a deep and pleasant resonance. The aura of the laws flowed, and a magnificent display of colorful clouds and mist emerged, causing the senior sisters behind him to hold their breath.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. The heavenly medicine fruit was successfully picked. Qin Muling faintly sensed the naive and blurry consciousness within the tree's main body, as well as the joy it transmitted. Obviously, it was the effect of the primordial spirit's creative inspiration, which gained its true recognition.

If only he could bring it back.

Qin Muling thought with regret. It was not just this divine tree; there were countless rare holy medicines and divine medicine resources in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. If they could all be transplanted to the Grotto-Heaven realm of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it would play a crucial role in enhancing the sect's strategic strength.

However, this matter couldn't be rushed. Perhaps he had to wait for his Innate Primordial Spirit Seed to further grow and awaken more innate talents and divine abilities before he could put such thoughts into action.

Qin Muling briefly examined the fruit in his hand, then threw it to Yu Lingzhou, and turned to pick the second one. Time was pressing, and he couldn't afford to think too much.

Yu Lingzhou caught the fruit without hesitation and immediately chewed and swallowed it. After all, this thing couldn't be taken out of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Eating it on the spot was the best choice. As for refining and absorbing it, she could do it slowly after leaving the Weak Water Galaxy.

The fruit melted in her mouth, releasing a fragrant aroma. Faint law runes sprayed out from her body, and her whole body was bathed in a burning golden flame, as if she were immersed in a blazing golden light.

A majestic and vigorous spiritual energy surged into her body, driving Yu Lingzhou's breath to rise steadily. The chronic injuries and hidden wounds of many years were visibly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, undergoing a transformation from the inside out.

Heavenly Lord Yueyi glanced at her and said, "When we return to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, not only will your injuries be completely healed, but you may also have the opportunity to advance further. Perhaps you will be within reach of the Quasi-Saint Emperor level."

Yú Língzhōu humbly said, "That will have to wait until after the breakthrough. But as long as you eat one, you will also have a chance to break through that realm. Maybe even greater than mine, after all, you don't have old injuries."

Yueyi Tiānjūn was tempted for a moment, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and refused, "Let's leave it to the sisters who need it more. With more elders recovering from their injuries, the strategic combat power of the sect will be stronger. This is crucial for us now."

Yú Língzhōu nodded and didn't say anything more. With twelve more elders restored to their full strength, the confidence of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would undoubtedly be more solid. Many plans that had been put on hold due to insufficient strength could now be put into action.

While the stone hall had become a bloody battlefield outside, with corpses scattered everywhere.

Dark clouds covered the sky, flames swept across all directions, deafening thunder roared, and the Magnetic Astral Wind swept everything. Large meteorites, burning heavenly swords, and phantom images of heavenly knives fell like raindrops, while countless ancient ferocious beasts that had long disappeared roared and attacked frantically.

Thousands of cultivators were forming large and small battle formations to protect themselves. They were facing endless attacks from outside while doing their best to move towards the direction of the stone hall. Among them, the team from the Palace of Calamitous Fate was the fastest.

Mei Qingfeng activated the bronze formation disc in her hand, creating a thick barrier of light that blocked all attacks. The surviving disciples poured their mana into it from a distance, replenishing the terrifying consumption of the formation disc.

"Speed up! As long as we can rush into the stone hall, we'll be safe!"

Mei Qingfeng, who was weakened, said. She had also consumed a lot during the journey. If she didn't have enough good items on her, she would have been unable to continue.

Inside the hall, Qin Muling had already picked all the fruits and stored them in her spatial bracelet.

"He said he can safely send us away!"

Continuing to communicate with the Nine Easy Empty Mulberry Divine Tree, Qin Muling's expression showed a hint of joy. If they were to return the same way, they would inevitably encounter the other cultivators outside. It wouldn't be easy to escape then, and it would leave behind a huge problem.

The divine tree trembled slightly, and a massive amount of rune symbols of the laws surged out, quickly condensing into an oval-shaped portal.

"Sisters, you go in first. I'll stay behind."

Qin Muling said to her senior sisters.

Xue Bingxuan wanted to object, but after a moment's thought, she didn't say anything. If her junior brother left first, there was a chance that the teleportation portal would disappear early.

So, one by one, the senior sisters stepped forward and entered the portal, disappearing. The destination of the teleportation was in the border area of the Weak Water Galaxy, and there wouldn't be much risk for them with their cultivation level.

At the same time, the radiance on the surface of the Nine Easy Empty Mulberry Divine Tree quickly dimmed, and its branches and leaves began to wither, losing its previous divine aura.

Only after a dormant period of at least a million years, until the day it bore fruit again, would it fully recover.

When Qin Muling stepped into the teleportation portal, the heavy doors slowly opened again with a low rumble.

"Have we finally arrived? Unfortunately, everything is already too late!"

Qin Muling smiled and disappeared into the portal.

When Mei Qingfeng rushed into the hall, she only had time to see the fading figure of a strange and handsome young man before the teleportation portal turned into flowing light and dissipated in the air.
