Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore
Chapter 49 The Sutra Library
Chapter 49: Scripture Repository
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace Main Altar.
Located deep within the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, this place is the most abundant in spiritual energy in the entire Immortal Realm. The vast continent, spanning billions of miles, appears as a bright golden star suspended in the dark void, surrounded by thousands of planets and smaller land masses.
Thousands of years ago, the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain, along with several other Immortal Realms in the vicinity, had only one master: the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. Within the influence of this super sect, the higher-ups had absolute authority.
The territorial division of the Extreme Void Starry Sky is simple. Each star cluster usually contains tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of void land masses and even more planets. These land masses vary in size and distance, and ordinary cultivators without powerful Law Treasures would take hundreds of years to travel from one star cluster to another.
Above the star clusters are the Star Domains, each encompassing hundreds to thousands of large star clusters. Above the Star Domains are the Immortal Realms, each typically containing hundreds of large Star Domains.
Only cultivators who understand the impermanence of life and death, break free from the constraints of heaven and man, and ultimately achieve Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension have the ability to traverse the void and travel between Immortal Realms with their physical bodies. Alternatively, having high-level Law Treasures can also achieve this.
However, sects with conditions will construct long-range starry teleportation arrays in their own territories. As long as they are willing to expend sufficient spiritual resources, they can instantly cross unimaginably vast spaces. Of course, the cost is quite extravagant and not intended for ordinary cultivators.
Since the upheaval thousands of years ago and the continuous decline of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the Cloud Dream Immortal Domain has become fragmented, with numerous small and medium-sized forces. The territory they can effectively control is less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday.
As the heavenly boat swiftly entered the airspace above the vast land, Qin Muling was still amazed by the sight before her.
Magnificent mountain peaks, towering over ten thousand miles, were scattered across the vast land, numbering in the thousands. There were also numerous floating islands and peaks in the sky, flying along specific trajectories at a steady pace, shrouded in auspicious clouds and purple mist. Qin Muling judged that this should be part of a massive formation, connecting the endless spiritual veins deep within the earth. Once fully activated, it would unleash an unfathomable power and reshape the heavens and earth.
Looking around, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so dense that it was visible to the naked eye. Mountains, rivers, plains, lakes, islands in the ocean, and countless rainbows and colorful clouds in the sky formed a magnificent and spectacular picture. In any inconspicuous corner, various unnamed Spirit Medicines grew, towering trees thousands or tens of thousands of zhang high could be seen everywhere, and countless spiritual birds and exotic beasts thrived in the primordial forests and deep mountains. Many of them possessed the bloodlines of ancient extinct species rumored in legends.
Even the ordinary sand and soil blocks, under the long-term nourishment of endless spiritual energy, began to emit a faint treasure light, indicating that they possessed some extraordinary characteristics.
"...These are actually nothing," Mu Yinghua sighed softly beside Qin Muling. "The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace from thousands of years ago was the true ancient super sect. Not to mention anything else, just this continent itself was destroyed by more than half during the catastrophe back then. Its current area is only one-fourth of what it used to be."
Qin Muling fell silent for a moment and asked, "Can it be restored?"
Mu Yinghua shook her head. "Not to say it's impossible, but it's very difficult, extremely difficult. Unless you can..."
What can she do? She didn't continue, but Qin Muling understood what her master meant. The conditions must be extremely harsh, far beyond the limits of ordinary people's understanding. It was too early for her to discuss this now.
After a while, Mu Yinghua led Qin Muling and Qi Yalan to descend slowly. The pivotal location of the sect was located on a giant mountain range, at the core of a magnificent main peak over a hundred thousand li high. It exuded a majestic and imposing aura, with brilliant rays of light and purple mist pervading the surroundings. The feng shui and terrain were excellent, making it unparalleled within the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.
In front of the grand and solemn mountain gate archway, a large group of elders and disciples stood in formation. When they saw the arrival of the Supreme Sect Master, they all bowed and greeted respectfully.
"Alright, take the token and bring Junior Brother to the Scripture Repository to study the techniques and scriptures. After you're done, go to my Cave Mansion and wait," Mu Yinghua instructed Qi Yalan.
"Yes, Master."
Qi Yalan agreed and held Qin Muling's hand as they left.
In the Grotto-Heaven secret realm, the elders were holding an important meeting. As the head of the sect, Mu Yinghua naturally couldn't be absent, so the third senior sister, as expected, took on the role of guide. After all, it was the first time the junior brother had come to the main altar of the sect.
The two of them rode their flying swords and soared into the sky. The sect's scripture repository was located on Celestial Melody Peak, not too far from here. They would arrive in no time.
Along the way, they occasionally saw young female cultivators wearing light veils, either riding beams of light or stepping on various Law Weapons flying swords. The beauty and temperament of some of these female cultivators were on par with the three senior sisters.
Suddenly, Qin Muling felt a tight grip on her wrist. She turned her head and saw Qi Yalan's reproachful gaze, as if saying, "What's so good about these seductive women?"
She smiled awkwardly, withdrew her gaze, and thought to herself that in terms of beauty and the younger generation of disciples, Qi Yalan was naturally the best. It was a bit of a waste to look at these ordinary women outside.
After a while, the main gate of the scripture repository appeared in their sight.
In fact, this place was a separate Grotto-Heaven space, located in a hollowed-out mountain. The surrounding array formations were extremely complex, second only to the main gate's vital area. After all, it contained the most important martial arts inheritance of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. It had existed since the founding of the sect and had a history of millions of years.
"Oh, it's Sister Qi. It's been a long time since you last came!"
At the heavily guarded main gate, several core disciples on duty saw Qi Yalan's figure and a hint of smile appeared on their beautiful faces. They took the initiative to greet her. As a direct disciple of the Supreme Sect Master and a strong cultivator in the Destiny Realm, her status in the sect was naturally high.
However, when they saw Qin Muling next to her, their expressions changed instantly. "Sister Qi, what are you doing? Why did you bring a man in? This is a serious violation of the sect's rules, you..."
"Don't misunderstand, this is Qin Muling, the closed-door disciple recently accepted by the Supreme Sect Master," Qi Yalan said seriously, taking out a jade token and handing it to them for inspection. "I was ordered by the Sect Master to bring the junior brother here to observe the sect's martial arts and scriptures. This is the token."
"I see. I heard a few days ago that the Supreme Sect Master broke the tradition and accepted a male disciple. It seems to be true."
The leading core disciple breathed a sigh of relief, curiously staring at Qin Muling for a while before starting the inspection process.
After confirming the authenticity of the Sect Master's token, Qi Yalan and Qin Muling had their appearances recorded by a stone that could capture images and store them. Only then were they allowed to enter the scripture repository.
Inside the Grotto-Heaven space.
Qin Muling looked around. Rows of deep purple warm jade bookshelves were spotlessly clean and neatly arranged. They were all equipped with various small spells and prohibitions to prevent dust, decay, and fire.
The bookshelves contained the largest number of jade slips, followed by paper books. Jade slips of various sizes, emitting a faint spiritual light, were stacked in order. There were also bundles of well-bound animal skin scrolls, jade boards resembling bricks, large pieces of black beast bones, faintly glowing crystals, and sharp-edged metal steles with a powerful aura.
The surfaces of these objects were covered with densely packed characters, ranging from ancient celestial fish-bird seal script to the common written language of the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Without exception, they were all imbued with powerful prohibitions.
The number of martial arts scriptures was not particularly large, estimated to be around several thousand. However, they were all the most fundamental and profound essence of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, accumulated over millions of years since its establishment. Naturally, they were not to be taken lightly.
These precious scriptures were displayed in different categories, covering formations, alchemy, body tempering secret techniques, sword cultivation essentials, artifact refining and talisman inscriptions, spiritual beast cultivation, witchcraft secret arts, and divination techniques, among others. Many of them were rare copies passed down from ancient times, with the writings containing the insights and understandings of certain great Dao principles by the authors.
Among the rows of bookshelves, groups of female disciples were seen engrossed in reading the scriptures. Most of their cultivation levels were above Qin Muling's current level.
Although it was a bit late, there would still be two updates tonight.
