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

Chapter 557 Demon Lord Haoyue: World Creating Azure Lotus Is My Taoist Companion!

Chapter 557: Moonlight Demon Venerable: World Creating Azure Lotus is this palace's Dao companion!

In the chaotic void, within the bronze Dao Palace where the fragments of the Dao Rhyme flow.

The gloomy-faced Venerable Shuoyun is patrolling in a certain hall, surrounded by a large group of guards and attendants.

At this moment, hundreds of Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven experts have gathered here, undergoing various means of treatment.

Around each expert who has been affected, dozens of high-level cultivators are busy, including both humans and non-humans. One can even see the figures of several Innate Chaotic Divine Demons who have transformed into human form.

However, just by looking at the defeated expressions on the faces of these experts, the extremely dim and decaying aura, the dwindling luck, and the Dao Foundation cultivation on the verge of collapse, one can understand that their time is running out. The current methods of treatment are nothing more than a formality.

Since the start of the war, there has been no news of any expert who has been able to escape the mysterious curse. Even the most powerful individuals can't last more than three months.

These experts are well aware of this, so now it has become a common practice among the high-ranking members of the coalition forces. As soon as someone notices that their condition is not right, they immediately call their disciples and grandchildren to discuss their final arrangements.

Because most of them hold high positions of power, once they fall, the enormous power resources and various rich legacies they leave behind will immediately attract countless people to compete for them.

If ten or eight important figures within a Transcendent Level force encounter accidents at the same time, it will inevitably cause turbulence among the upper echelons of the sect, frequent reshuffling of internal power structures, and make the entire sect restless and unable to focus on their tasks.

With such examples, not only will it significantly weaken the overall strength and cohesion of the sect, but it will also have a particularly strong impact on the friends and relatives of those fellow disciples and juniors around them.

No one knows if the next unlucky person will be themselves or their elder, Dao companion, or loved ones.

No one wants to die in such frustration. Therefore, as more and more experts perish, the voices advocating for peace talks among the high-ranking members of the coalition forces are growing louder and harder to suppress.

As a result, another secret contact with the Primeval Demon Palace is inevitable. However, due to the unwillingness of the high-ranking members of the coalition forces to make substantial concessions, the failure of the contact was expected.

"...Is there really no other way? Can we only let those demons rampage and harm us?" Venerable Shuoyun spoke softly after a long silence.

An elder by his side looked at his expression and cautiously said, "We are trying new methods, using certain forbidden secret techniques that were previously not allowed. Whether we can see results or not, it still needs time to prove."

This kind of roundabout talk is as good as saying nothing. Who wouldn't know that all the high-level forces of the Transcendent Level are exhausting all their resources, investing massive manpower and material resources, and risking their lives to research and decipher this mysterious curse?

Dao Venerable Shuoyun gave him a disdainful glance, suppressing the anger in his heart, and slowly said, "Is there any way to persuade Primeval Demon Palace to temporarily suspend their attack on our high-level personnel?"

Even if the ceasefire conditions cannot be negotiated, at least don't let the high-level members of the coalition forces keep dying endlessly, because everyone really can't bear it anymore.

Actually, the situation in Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven is relatively light, but more than ten quasi-saints have been lost, including Dao Venerable Guangling who has fallen.

The most unlucky quasi-saint, who was conferred just a few days ago, was unfortunately hit and suffered for several months before his Dao Foundation collapsed and he fell in despair.

By now, there are several vacant quasi-saint positions in the sect, and there is no one willing to take over. In the past, those big shots would have fought over them.

The trusted elder fell silent for a moment and said softly, "Perhaps we can negotiate, but what suitable conditions can we offer on our side? They definitely won't make concessions easily."

Dao Venerable Shuoyun immediately said, "As long as they agree to this, the coalition forces will immediately stop attacking the Primeval Demon Palace's Heavenly Dao Barrier Formation, and both sides will be in a de facto ceasefire. Isn't this condition acceptable?"

Once the offensive stops, it means that the previous consumption has been in vain. Primeval Demon Palace will quickly recover, repair the damaged nodes of certain formations, and restore the defense of the Heavenly Dao Barrier Formation to its peak state.

The trusted elder said, "Just this condition may not be enough. We need to add some other benefits."

Dao Venerable Shuoyun frowned and said, "What other benefits do we need?"

"For example, providing them with a batch of spirit crystals and spirit stones, allowing them to transport the external resource reserves back to the sect? Returning a portion of the seized Primeval Demon Palace assets to them as appropriate?" the trusted elder said.

Previously, due to normal trade relations, Primeval Demon Palace had accumulated a huge amount of assets in many Transcendent Level forces, including reserves of immortal crystals, immortality gardens, commercial districts, and various rare resources.

After the war broke out, these assets were frozen and even embezzled by the coalition forces, with no intention of returning them to Primeval Demon Palace.

Of course, the current situation is stronger than people. Even if they are unwilling, Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven can only choose to compromise and return a portion of the benefits they have gained.

After pondering for a moment, Dao Venerable Shuoyun finally relaxed and said, "Alright, go arrange for someone to talk to them! As long as it's not too excessive, we'll accept it."

...

Primeval Demon Palace, a crucial place. At this moment, Qin Muling was receiving another batch of world origins. The enormous Azure Lotus shadow enveloped the entire ocean of origins, absorbing and refining them with ease.

Around the Azure Lotus shadow, boundless purple clouds billowed, shining with a crystalline brilliance. Countless chaotic starlights emerged, along with numerous golden lamps and purple lotuses. The mysterious and profound Dao Rhyme aura permeated the Grotto-Heaven secret realm.

Meanwhile, Su Mengqing, Jade Consort Mozun, Qin Shuixin, and many other senior and junior sisters stood by, eagerly absorbing and refining. They didn't want to miss a single opportunity.

The benefits brought by these World Creating Azure Lotuses were of great help to their innate cultivation. Just by absorbing one round, they could save themselves from the arduous cultivation of hundreds of elemental realms.

Due to the increasing number of female cultivators from the Demon Palace competing for this opportunity, there was no space left around Qin Muling. As a result, the Moonlight Mozun had to make arrangements, allowing the numerous female cultivators to draw lots and take turns enjoying the benefits. This was to prevent conflicts and maintain harmony among them.

"...Junior Brother's divine soul and physical body... are really more exaggerated than the legendary Chaos Returning Ruins! He has absorbed so many world origins, yet it seems like he can never be satisfied."

Saintess Qin Shuixin was busy absorbing the golden lamps and purple lotuses while also exchanging thoughts with her senior and junior sisters.

Jade Consort Mozun snorted, "Compared to the World Creating Azure Lotuses, what are the Chaos Returning Ruins? I suspect that even if we give him all the world origin reserves in our sect, it still wouldn't be enough to satisfy him..."

"That's true. Actually, I'm curious about Junior Brother's limits. If he defeats the three thousand Earth Level Great Worlds outside and we give him all the world origin reserves they have, I wonder what the result would be?"

A stunningly beautiful woman murmured softly. She had once wielded the power of a quasi-saint and naturally had a broad perspective.

"Sister, I think... since Junior Brother benefits so much every time he refines world origins, why not give him more? The senior and junior sisters in the sect can also come and benefit from it. This would be more advantageous for the overall strength of the sect, right?"

"This matter is not up to us to decide. It has to be discussed and decided by the nine quasi-saints. But personally, I think it's not a bad idea!"

"I really hope to see the day when Junior Brother achieves sainthood as soon as possible! By then, our Holy Palace will be the number one supreme power in the chaotic void and the myriad worlds!"

"I believe that day is not far away. By then, we'll see how those Great Worlds will handle themselves. They might have to bow down and submit. If they don't want their own heritage to be destroyed!"

"Mmm, makes sense..."

Many female cultivators discussed among themselves. Qin Muling had shown them a real hope, an eternal and transcendent hope that couldn't be compared to any other benefits.

Now, those people outside wanted to join forces and take Qin Muling away from them. This undoubtedly touched their biggest sore spot. Even if they had to shed the last drop of blood, they wouldn't back down.

As the vast amount of world essence was refined by the Azure Lotus phantom, Qin Muling's internal space rapidly expanded. It had already reached a volume comparable to the Extreme Void Starry Sky before the Unified Harmony of the two realms, and it was no different from an independent time and space.

Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy within the space became even more abundant, and the inherent system of the Great Dao became increasingly complex, rigorous, and perfect. At this point, it was no less inferior to the outside Primitive Demon World, which was the environment of an Earth Level High Grade Great World.

Inside the world, there were mountains, rivers, lakes, primitive forests, deserts, and countless islands in the vast ocean. Qin Muling silently explored every corner of this vast world. Many treasures that would only appear during the opening of heaven and earth had already appeared in certain hidden areas of this time and space, waiting for someone with destiny to collect them.

"In the future, will I also have a Great World that belongs entirely to me, just like Pangu who opened heaven and earth? But Pangu eventually perished, so comparing myself to him might be a bit ominous..."

Qin Muling pondered silently. The internal space had long possessed the ability to absorb the chaotic energy from the abyssal void and nourish and strengthen itself, so it was constantly growing.

Even now, if cultivators could cultivate inside for a long time and comprehend the unique Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme of the World Creating Azure Lotus, the benefits in all aspects were truly immeasurable. Of course, currently, only the female cultivators of the Extreme Void Starry Sky enjoyed such extraordinary treatment.

For various reasons, Qin Muling had not yet let the female cultivators of the Primeval Demon Palace know about the existence of the internal space, and the sisters of the Mysterious Clan and the Luo Family Divine Dynasty were also unaware.

When the time came and Qin Muling truly took that step and obtained the Primordial Origin Saint Supreme Dao Fruit, the internal space would completely manifest itself and become an unprecedented powerful Great World, existing independently in the chaotic void.

By then, perhaps even the legendary Heavenly World wouldn't necessarily be comparable to this Great World, because the Heavenly World didn't have a true Primordial Origin Saint Supreme. They only had quasi-saints and pseudo-saints.

Unconsciously, two days and two nights quietly passed. As the last batch of world essence in the Grotto-Heaven secret realm disappeared into the depths of the Azure Lotus phantom, Qin Muling slowly withdrew her power.

The Azure Lotus phantom gradually faded away, and the chaotic starlight and the golden lamps and purple lotuses derived from it also became fewer and fewer until they completely disappeared.

The numerous female cultivators around couldn't help but stop their hands, feeling that they hadn't had enough of the benefits they had gained from rubbing for two days and two nights. Many female cultivators had broken through one or two realms on the spot, and their luck, blessings, and accumulation had become even deeper.

From their perspective, such benefits were naturally beneficial, and they welcomed them without hesitation.

"... Junior Martial Brother, those guys have come up with new tricks again."

When he opened his eyes, the radiant and graceful Free Demon Lord came over, embraced him, and kissed him affectionately, softly speaking about the situation outside.

Qin Muling pondered for a moment and said, "If it is really possible to restore the Heavenly Dao Barrier Array for a while and bring back a batch of urgently needed resources for the sect, then this matter can be negotiated, right?"

A temporary ceasefire would actually be more advantageous for the Primeval Demon Palace. Of course, the allied forces were currently at a disadvantage, so it was only natural for their side to take advantage of the opportunity to raise their demands.

"Well, if they are sincere," the noble and charming Su Mengqing said, "I'm afraid they might be thinking of deceiving us again, or they might haggle over every little thing. Originally, it was our own thing, but now they are using it as a bargaining chip. It's really..."

"Rest assured, let them be arrogant for a while. One day, we will take back everything, and they will get nothing!" Qin Muling laughed. He really didn't believe that these Transcendent Level forces could stir up much trouble. He was getting closer and closer to the Primordial Origin Saint Supreme realm. Once he successfully took that step, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks the other side had, they would become meaningless.

The Free Demon Lord nodded. "Master Sister has already sent someone to negotiate with them. Since we have the initiative in the war, if they don't offer enough benefits in exchange, they can forget about an easy way out."

Qin Muling nodded. "That's good. Let's go to work now!"

"Alright, let's go to the medicinal garden first! Recently, the consumption of various Heavenly Medicine resources has been quite high. Junior Martial Brother, you need to replenish them." The Jade Azure Demon Lord said with a smile. Due to the increase in female alchemists in the sect, the direct consequence was the increase in the production of high-level pills, as well as the rapid consumption of medicinal resources.

Qin Muling had no objections to this. He left with the accompaniment of his senior sisters and junior sisters, while the Moonlight Demon Lord, at this time, began negotiations with the representatives of the allied forces, accompanied by a group of powerful beings.

Since the fierce attack on the Heavenly Dao Barrier Array by the allied forces had not stopped at this time, it was naturally impossible for the two sides to sit down face to face and negotiate. Therefore, they could only communicate through an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure.

In the hall filled with spiritual energy.

In front of the Moon Demon Lord and several quasi-saints, there stood a magnificent mirror with a diameter of ten zhang, adorned with dragon and phoenix motifs and flowing tassels. The mirror's surface was enveloped in a splendid mist, outlining the images of many powerful quasi-saints from the allied forces.

This was already the second round of confrontation in the past few days. Due to the Primeval Demon Palace's firm attitude and excessive demands, the elders of the allied forces did not dare to make a decision and ultimately returned empty-handed.

Therefore, after deliberation, the high-ranking quasi-saints of the allied forces decided to come in person to negotiate.

"...Immediately cease all hostile actions, return all our frozen assets and disciples. No hijacking or killing of our trade fleets that go out to purchase resources. No hostile actions against our vassal forces, such as infiltration, subversion, oppression, blockade, or sanctions. In addition..."

Wearing a pitch-black, ink-like robe with the pattern of the Departed Phoenix Star, her hair elegantly tied up, the Moon Demon Lord spoke in a solemn and imposing manner.

There were a total of forty-six clauses, each of which made the important figures of the allied forces turn pale and their eyes icy.

They originally thought that by symbolically offering some benefits, they could persuade the high-ranking members of the Primeval Demon Palace to compromise. Little did they know that the other party was not buying it at all.

The conditions put forward by the other side now were beyond what could be described as a lion's mouth, it was simply an act of ignorance!

Dao Venerable Shuoyun sneered coldly, "Looking at these conditions, it seems as if you have won the battle. Don't you have anyone on your side who can see the situation clearly?"

The Moon Demon Lord's tone was indifferent, "At least we haven't lost a single quasi-saint, not even an ordinary Quasi-Saint Emperor! But as for you... how many quasi-saints have you replaced?"

"Now you want to negotiate and bargain here, do you still want to change a few batches of quasi-saints to take charge?"

"You..."

Dao Venerable Shuoyun's face darkened, veins popping on his forehead as he gritted his teeth, "Your despicable and shameless actions have offended all the forces of the Dao in the chaotic void. Are you really not afraid that the Primitive Demon World will be completely destroyed and its heritage wiped out in the future?"

"Unfortunately, you don't have the qualifications to say such things!"

The Moon Demon Lord refuted without hesitation, "Now you are the defeated side, on the verge of collapse, with no way to continue. That's why you've come to beg us for mercy!"

"Dao Venerable Shuoyun, since you've come to ask for a favor, you should have the attitude and sincerity of someone seeking help. At least this palace has never seen a beggar who demands alms with such arrogance!"

"This is unreasonable!"

Dao Venerable Shuoyun couldn't contain himself any longer and stood up, gritting his teeth as he said, "If we are determined and launch a fierce attack at any cost, you bunch of demons won't be able to hold on for long!"

The Moonlight Demon Lord sneered, "Daoist Shuoyun, the only reason you're still alive is because we don't want to kill you yet. Otherwise, do you think you could survive for a few days under the curse of the World Creating Azure Lotus?"

"You..." Dao Venerable Shuoyun's face changed drastically. "So the curse really was created by the World Creating Azure Lotus? What methods did you use to deceive it and make it so devoted to helping you?"

"The reason is simple," the Moonlight Demon Lord smiled charmingly, gently touching her flat abdomen with her smooth jade hand. "Because the World Creating Azure Lotus is my partner! And so are my senior sisters and junior sisters!"

Dao Venerable Shuoyun: "..."

Not only him, but even the high-ranking members of the allied forces who had not spoken before had their expressions changed.

They had never come into contact with the World Creating Azure Lotus in its human form, so they still held a glimmer of hope. But today, with the Moonlight Demon Lord's words, their previous speculations were confirmed.

The World Creating Azure Lotus indeed had a preference for beauty, so these shameless women from the Primeval Demon Palace really disregarded their identities and personally seduced it?!

This was unbearable!

Miao Yuan Dao Venerable, sitting beside them, had a cold expression. If looks could kill, perhaps the Moonlight Demon Lord would have been pierced by her gaze.

She couldn't understand why the World Creating Azure Lotus had chosen these shameless female demon leaders. If it really liked beauty, was my Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven's beauty not enough?

"...Moonlight Fellow Daoist, your despicable and shameless way of luring and controlling the World Creating Azure Lotus disregards the overall situation and the power of all the forces in the chaotic void!"

Hua Yang Dao Venerable, who had been sitting silently, frowned and said. If the World Creating Azure Lotus had really developed feelings for these female demon leaders, things would become even more difficult.

"So what? You're here to besiege our Primeval Demon World?" The Moonlight Demon Lord's tone was mocking. "I know you're very unwilling, but unfortunately, this is an unchangeable fact. If it wants to stay here, can you stop it?"

Anger and protest without strength were meaningless. Since they couldn't break through the Heavenly Dao Formation of the Primeval Demon Palace, they could only face reality and make wise compromises.

"If we agree to your conditions, can you release your control over the World Creating Azure Lotus and let us share in the opportunity?" Fengyi Dao Venerable from the Jade Incense Great World asked.

The Moonlight Demon Lord sneered, "What are you talking about? The World Creating Azure Lotus is at the core of our strategic interests. There is no room for negotiation. Don't delude yourselves!"

Dao Venerable Shuoyun said coldly, "So there's no room for negotiation?"

From their perspective, the opportunities presented by the World Creating Azure Lotus were also non-negotiable. If they couldn't get the desired results in this aspect, what would be the point of this unprecedented war?

"No room for negotiation!" The Moonlight Demon Lord smiled faintly. "Over a hundred powerful beings from your Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven have fallen for it. They don't have much time left, do they? After they perish, perhaps a new batch of powerful beings will fall for it, three hundred or five hundred?"

Dao Venerable Shuoyun's face became even more unsightly. It seemed that these female demon leaders were specifically targeting their Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven. Unfortunately, they didn't have any suitable means to deal with it. This was truly unreasonable.

He didn't doubt the threat from the Moonlight Demon Lord. If the World Creating Azure Lotus listened to their persuasion, the losses to the Utmost Clarity Boundless Heaven would be unimaginable. Once the strength of the sect declined significantly, they might even lose their position as leaders of the Daoist sect.

Jiaye Buddha Venerable from the Thunderous Sound Great World sighed and slowly said, "Moonlight Fellow Daoist, we can consider accepting all your conditions, as long as you agree to one thing."

"What is it?" The Moonlight Demon Lord stared deeply at him. The bald donkeys from the Buddhist Gate were not to be underestimated, and she couldn't take them lightly.

Fengyi Dao Venerable immediately said, "It's simple. As long as you can let us meet the World Creating Azure Lotus and have a private conversation with it!"
