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

Chapter 36: Daydreaming

Reviving the sect, restoring the strength and status of the supreme lineage, and bringing back the glorious days of the ancient Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. This is the most important goal, or obsession, of the high-level members and numerous elders of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the past ten thousand years.

To achieve this goal, they are willing to pay any price.

In the history that has passed, there are not uncommon examples of once famous superpowers experiencing a significant decline in strength due to various changes, and the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is just one of them.

Regardless of which superpower it is, once it falls out of this circle, it is like being sentenced to death. If it can revive and return to the ranks of the supreme lineage at some point in the future, it would naturally be a cause for celebration.

If this once supreme lineage is not capable and continues to decline, then the surrounding ambitious powers will become more and more numerous. When its power and influence continue to fall to a certain critical point, all kinds of wolves and tigers will rush in, crazily dividing and plundering its final foundation!

Since its decline ten thousand years ago, the overall strength of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has only barely managed to hold onto its core and most important foundation. It is still far from the standard of a complete revival.

Therefore, for the high-level members of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, time is running out. The enemies from the past have become more restless, constantly probing and harassing in certain areas, creating friction and troubles for the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.

Therefore, Qin Muling's appearance has truly given the elders of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace a glimmer of hope, the hope of completely resolving the crisis of the sect and returning to the ranks of the supreme lineage. Everything that happens next is logical.

However, people all have their own selfishness, and these elders are no exception. The revival of the sect is a matter of course, as it concerns the lives and fortunes of everyone within the sect. No one would have any objections to this major strategic goal.

But under this strategic goal, many things can still be discussed and deliberated. How should the sect be revived? What strategy is most suitable? Which faction should take the lead? How should the benefits be divided after success? Who can gain the greatest benefits...

It is precisely because of these unspeakable selfish thoughts that even after the high-level members of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace unanimously agreed to fully cultivate Qin Muling, some of the elders still secretly manipulated and used certain underhanded methods for their own descendants.

They have no ill intentions towards Qin Muling, but they also do not want to see him getting too close to the Mu Yinghua faction led by the sect leader. If they can find a way to gently and reasonably win him over to their own faction, it would naturally be the ideal outcome.

Therefore, Qi Shuyu, who had just stabilized his new realm and was planning to go out for a journey, was stopped by his own ancestor, who gave him some guidance. After careful planning, he came to Linzhou City with this support force.

"...The ancestor must know more inside information than I do, but due to the oath of the great Dao, it is impossible for him to confide in me directly. He can only use indirect means to hint at me."

"Furthermore, when Qin Muling first appeared, she was already the closed-door disciple of the Supreme Sect's Sect Master. She was guided and taught in her cultivation by the senior martial sister, who also took care of her daily life. This completely proves that they are aware of more secrets, allowing them to gain an advantage."

"We truly do not know what special qualities Qin Muling possesses, but we don't need to know too much now. Just by observing the level of attention the senior martial sisters give her, we understand what we should do next..."

Qi Shuyu calmly analyzed, and the female cultivators around her nodded. If it was just the senior martial sisters deliberately misleading others, it would be too costly. Any sane leader would not do such a thing, as resources are not readily available.

"Now that Senior Sister Qi has made a decision, what should we do next?" a charming girl in a blue dress asked with a smile.

"After that junior brother Qin comes out of seclusion, let's find an excuse to invite him to a banquet," Qi Shuyu said confidently. "Although the senior martial sisters have the advantage of being familiar with him, our conditions are not weaker than theirs. It may not be as difficult as we imagine to make junior brother Qin feel close to us!"

She looked around and said with a smile, "I believe that the elders and junior sisters present here would not refuse to have a destined son of fortune as their Dao companion, right?"

The female cultivators pondered. In fact, when it comes to recruiting talents and managing influence, the means of persuasion and soft power that each faction can use are limited. Many times, it is about who is willing to invest more and take more risks, and they will be the ones who have the last laugh.

Inside the cultivation room.

As Qin Muling slowly finished her cultivation, the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment that enveloped the three senior martial sisters gradually faded away and disappeared.

"Is it over already?"

Fourth Senior Sister Luo Wanqing was the first to awaken from her deep enlightenment. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her junior brother, as the help she received from the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment was so obvious that it left her wanting more.

Xue Bingxuan let out a sigh and approached, gently holding Qin Muling's wrist to sense it. She nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, you've made a breakthrough, and the accumulation is truly unimaginably profound. Our junior brother is becoming more and more powerful."

Although Xue Bingxuan had repeatedly raised her expectations for Qin Muling, his performance still exceeded her understanding of a monstrous genius.

"And it seems that the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment has become stronger," she added.

Qi Yalan sighed softly, "As long as we accompany Junior Brother in his cultivation every day in the future, I believe we won't be too far from the next realm, right? That fox-like Qi Shuyu thinks she can challenge you, Senior Sister, just because she broke through the Destiny Realm? She really doesn't know her place!"

With the cultivation of Senior Sisters, they naturally can sense the changes in Junior Brother's innate abilities. As he officially broke through the Core Condensation Realm, the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment has increased by about thirty to forty percent compared to before.

If Qin Muling breaks through the realm again in the future, the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment will surely rise even higher.

Xue Bingxuan said with composure, "With Junior Brother here, what do we need to worry about? Even if she has a higher cultivation level than me now, sooner or later, we will surpass her!"

Even among those in the Destiny Realm, there are differences in strength. Qi Shuyu has just entered this realm, while Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan is already at the peak of the Destiny Realm, preparing to break through to the next realm.

Among those established super sects, the strong in the Destiny Realm are already the backbone. Even the high-ranking elders who hold real power cannot all reach this level of strength, let alone the disciples of the new generation.

Now, with Qin Muling's assistance from the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, the future paths of the Senior Sisters will no longer be restricted.

Qin Muling looked at the three beautiful Senior Sisters and calmly asked, "About the changes in the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, don't you plan to tell Master?"

"..."

Xue Bingxuan's expression changed slightly. Sect Leader Mu Yinghua naturally knows about the existence of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, but at that time, Qin Muling's cultivation was only at the Profound Comprehension Realm, so the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment on her was not significant. It was inconsequential.

However, now that the effect of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment has gradually increased, it might even have an effect on someone like Mu Yinghua, who is at that level, not to mention in the future.

If in the future, even Mu Yinghua or other core elders rush to benefit from Junior Brother, what should they do?

"For Junior Brother's safety, this secret must not be known by more people," Luo Wanqing gritted her teeth.

Qi Yalan glanced at her, "Even Master?"

"Even Master!" Luo Wanqing replied firmly.

Qin Muling shook his head, "That's impossible. We can keep it from anyone else, but we shouldn't hide it from Master. That would be too much."

If there is anyone in the sect whom Qin Muling can absolutely trust, besides Mu Yinghua, it is probably impossible to find another person. From Xue Bingxuan and the others' perspective, it is the same.

"Junior Brother is right," Xue Bingxuan said, "Even if Master needs the assistance of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment in the future, he won't stop us from using it. So there's nothing to worry about. Wanqing, don't overthink it."

"Alright," Luo Wanqing reluctantly said, "Actually, I'm not targeting Master. I'm just afraid that this secret will be accidentally exposed. Then all the Senior Sisters in the sect will want to benefit from it, treating Junior Brother as what?"

The influence of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment is limited, so only a very small number of people can enjoy this benefit.

In the eyes of the Senior Sisters, having Junior Brother is enough. They absolutely won't allow any other opportunists to benefit from him!

"Don't worry, as long as I don't want to, none of them can take advantage of me!" Qin Muling pinched Luo Wanqing's jade hand and said.

"As long as you understand, Junior Brother!" Luo Wanqing blushed slightly and openly took advantage of him.

Qin Muling smiled and said nothing. It's true that he likes to enjoy the benefits, but he's not really freeloading, so there's nothing to feel guilty about.

Similarly, no one should expect to easily take advantage of him unless they offer enough in return. Freeloading is impossible.

As for those forces who think they can take away all his benefits by offering a beautiful woman through a marriage alliance? That's just wishful thinking.

Dream on!
