Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 811 Cooperation…

Thanks to the mediation of the beautiful female sect leader Ye Qingshuang, no conflict arose between the two sides.

She opened the mountain gates wide and invited Chen Wang and the others to come in as guests, and Chen Wang did not refuse.

Calling it a search would be beneath the dignity of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, but if Chen Wang were invited as a guest, even the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land wouldn't be able to say anything.

Chen Wang also gave her ample face. In his view, this beautiful female sect leader, Ye Qingshuang, was more worthy of his attention than the Grand Elder of the Supreme Dao.

Chen Wang considered that old bastard to be highly suspicious; he might just be a traitor who sold out the entire Dao Ning world.

Chen Wang cursed him in his heart, but little did he know that he had actually revealed the truth.

Within the ancient immortal holy land, there are powerful statues that look extremely majestic, with Daoist energy flowing around them.

Although the material is unknown, it is clear that these statues possess a very powerful force, and this force is even more advanced than that that Chen Wang possesses.

Chen Wang's gaze swept over the statues.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingshuang explained, "These statues are carved with the names of the sages of our holy land. They imprinted their power on them, which is why they have some divine charm."

Chen Wang was somewhat moved upon hearing this. Judging from the power levels, these sages were probably all at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Chen Wang remarked with emotion, "The ancient immortal holy land truly possesses extraordinary cultural heritage."

This statement came from the heart. At his level, there was no need for him to deliberately smear the other party to prove his own strength.

Although Chen Wang was opposed to the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, it did not prevent him from acknowledging the Ancient Immortal Holy Land's powerful foundation.

Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "Brother, you have a broad mind."

The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land snorted coldly. He was unwilling to say more to Chen Wang and only stayed for a moment before turning around and leaving.

To be honest, he wasn't afraid that Chen Wang would attack and kill the sect leader of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, nor did he stand by and watch.

This shows that his relationship with Ye Qingshuang, the sect leader of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, was not so harmonious.

After the Grand Elder left, Chen Wang followed Ye Qingshuang to a palace.

The palace was exquisitely built and magnificent. Its architectural style differed somewhat from the current urban style of Daoning World, making it appear more ancient.

Ye Qingshuang said, "This place is called Taiwei Palace. It is the place where the founding ancestor of the ancient immortal holy land ascended to heaven. Please come in, fellow Daoist."

She was sincerely introducing the place, not boasting about its history.

After all, tens of thousands of years have passed since the founding master.

Chen Wang couldn't help but think more highly of this place. He remarked with emotion, "No wonder the architectural style here is somewhat different from that of Dao Ning World, and has a stronger historical feel."

Ye Qingshuang smiled slightly and said, "Brother, please come in."

Chen Wang and his group entered Taiwei Palace. Chen Wang used his divine sense to transmit his voice to the Mirror God: "How is it? Have you found out the whereabouts of that demoness?"

Mirror God quickly replied to Chen Wang: "Still investigating."

There were no restrictions or barriers within the Taiwei Palace, which allowed Chen Wang to confirm that Ye Qingshuang was not intentionally concealing anything.

Upon entering the Taiwei Palace, beautiful women quickly came forward to serve tea; each one possessed fair skin and delicate features, embodying the spirit of heaven and earth.

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised when he saw these women, not because they were particularly beautiful, but because they were sextuplets.

These women, dressed in different colored clothes, stood beside Ye Qingshuang.

Chen Wang said, "There is such a talented person among the disciples of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land."

Ye Qingshuang covered her mouth and giggled: "If the Grand Elder hears what you said, Brother Dao, it will probably cause another conflict."

Chen Wang laughed heartily.

With that detestable old dog gone, Chen Wang didn't confront the shrewd Sect Master Ye with a cold face. Instead, he smiled and said, "These female disciples are all at the peak of the Golden Core stage, without any difference. This is truly rare."

Ye Qingshuang raised a cup of immortal tea and said to Chen Wang with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please have some tea."

Chen Wang nodded slightly.

Ye Qingshuang continued, "I adopted these six girls when they were young. They have been connected since childhood. When I taught them cultivation techniques, I specially selected a classic text that suited them. The six of them work together seamlessly. Don't underestimate them just because they are only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. The six of them working together can defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Chen Wang said, "The difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage is enormous. Even six Golden Core cultivators working together wouldn't be as strong as one Nascent Soul cultivator's hand, would they?"

Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "Besides the fact that their cultivation methods are somewhat special, the fact that the six of them are of one mind also plays a significant role."

Chen Wang nodded upon hearing this, and did not inquire further about the private affairs of other sects. However, the sextuplets were quite pleasing to the eye, each one a slender woman with a charmingly innocent face. He wondered how these women were raised, as they did not possess any worldly air.

At this moment, the Mirror God transmitted his voice to Chen Wang, saying, "Master, there is the aura of that demoness here, but it is very faint. It seems that the demoness has already left."

Chen Wang nodded calmly.

Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang said, "Fellow Daoist, you are a distinguished guest of my sect. If you would like to visit any other places, I can take you there."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "The Ancient Immortal Holy Land has many good places, but we were just too rushed today to take a closer look."

Ye Qingshuang's intention was to take Chen Wang to search the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, but ostensibly for sightseeing.

Seeing that Chen Wang refused, Ye Qingshuang had an idea and said with a smile, "It seems that you have powerful means to search for that demoness's whereabouts."

Her gaze fell on the mirror floating beside Chen Wang.

Chen Wang didn't try to hide anything. Mirror God had always been by his side, and Mirror God's abilities were quite unique, so it couldn't be hidden from those who were interested. Chen Wang then frankly told them.

"My mirror can freely examine the entire Dao Ning world; nothing in the human realm can escape its eyes."

In reality, Chen Wang was just bragging. The Mirror God blushed at first, then couldn't help but become arrogant, thinking to himself, "It seems that my master has very high expectations of me, so I need to hurry up and cultivate."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Colored Deer felt a pang of sadness. It lay down at Chen Wang's feet, exhaling two puffs of white breath from its nostrils.

Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "It is such a powerful immortal mirror. This alone makes it the number one treasure of the Dao Ning World."

Upon hearing this, Mirror God was overjoyed; this Sect Master Ye was truly eloquent.

Chen Wang smiled slightly, then said seriously, "Sect Master Ye, to be honest, I just found that demoness's aura within the Ancient Immortal Holy Land. Although she is no longer within the Holy Land, how do you explain this?"

Ye Qingshuang sighed, then said to the female disciples, "You may all step back. I have some important matters to discuss with you, fellow Daoist."

Several female disciples replied in unison, "Yes, sir."

Their voices were clear and melodious, like orioles singing in a secluded valley. The six of them were identical in demeanor and tone, as if they had been carved from the same mold.

Chen Wang had seen twins before. The two princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were twins, but their temperaments and appearances were completely different. If they didn't look alike, they could be seen as two completely different people.

But the six women here were different; they were practically one person.

Chen Wang was quite surprised.

After the six young and beautiful female disciples left one after another, the entire Taiwei Palace was empty. Ye Qingshuang stood up and bowed to Chen Wang, saying, "Please, fellow Daoist, save my Ancient Immortal Holy Land!"

Chen Wang stepped forward to support her, and their arms touched. Ye Qingshuang's body tensed slightly.

After releasing his grip, Chen Wang said, "The Ancient Immortal Holy Land is a powerful force, and in my opinion, it has many formidable methods that it has not yet revealed to the world. So what is there to talk about saving it or not?"

Ye Qingshuang said solemnly, "The Grand Elder is a traitor. He colludes with the Great Yan Heaven and intends to overthrow the human world. He is despicable to us. I hope that you, my fellow Daoist, can join hands with me to deal with this villain."

Chen Wang's heart stirred.

Fu Qu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

When she entered the palace earlier, apart from the few women who surprised her, she had been observing the palace buildings.

Chen Wang had helped her vent her anger, and she felt extremely pleased. She didn't care much about these mundane matters and only thought about when to catch that witch and bring her to justice.

At this moment, Fu Qu's attention was also drawn to the words of the female sect leader.

Chen Wang said, "When you and I discuss matters in Taiwei Palace, that Grand Elder will probably also turn his attention to this place."

Ye Qingshuang shook her head and said softly, "Taiwei Palace has special restrictions. What we say cannot be transmitted, and other people's divine senses cannot enter."

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Since entering Taiwei Palace, he has not noticed any restrictions. Moreover, the Mirror God's search for information about this place was not hindered.

Chen Wang was somewhat moved; the Taiwei Palace was indeed such a mysterious place.

Ye Qingshuang said, "Taiwei Palace is the place where the founding ancestor ascended to heaven, so naturally some special methods were left behind."

Chen Wang suddenly realized, and then asked, "You have this kind of method in your hands?"

Ye Qingshuang nodded and said, "That's right. This method has been used by the sect leaders of each generation, but it is just a few minor tricks. It is impossible to deal with the Grand Elder with this method."

Chen Wang did not respond readily. He had only met Ye Qingshuang once, and he was not sure whether what she said was true or false, so he was not in a hurry to reply.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, rhythmically.

Ye Qingshuang said, "I know that I made this request on our first meeting today, and you don't know what I'm really planning. But I swear on my life that if this is a lie, may I be punished by the Great Dao and never be reborn as a human for all eternity!"

In the cultivation world, there has always been a great oath, which cultivators with higher cultivation levels dare not easily violate. There is cause and effect in the dark, and if you dare to fool the secrets of heaven, you will naturally suffer the backlash of heaven.

Ye Qingshuang's expression was stern, and she spoke with absolute certainty.

Chen Wang was somewhat moved upon hearing this and said softly, "I do not doubt the sect leader's sincerity, but it would be unwise for me to rashly confront the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land."

Ye Qingshuang smiled and said, "Didn't you almost face the death with the Grand Elder earlier, Brother Dao?"

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, why did you try to stop me earlier? Why not just go with the flow and let me settle things with him in one battle?"

Ye Qingshuang sighed.
"It is not easy to deal with the Grand Elder within the Holy Land. If you had faced him earlier, I fear that something might have happened to you once the Holy Land's great formation was activated."

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "Oh? Does the Ancient Immortal Holy Land have a way to keep me here?"

He didn't think he was anything special; such an ancient holy land naturally had some trump cards, a point that Emperor Zhou had also mentioned.

Chen Wang wanted to take this opportunity to find out more.

Ye Qingshuang said, "The statues of those sages all contain a trace of divine soul imprint. Once activated, they can open a great formation, and even you, my fellow Daoist, would likely perish."

Chen Wang frowned.
"In that case, wouldn't it be putting me in danger if I followed you into the holy land?"

Ye Qingshuang said, "Since I dared to invite you in, I am not afraid that the Grand Elder will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Although the Grand Elder is in charge of this formation, we also play a part. In particular, as the sect leader, I am in charge of the sect leader's decree and control an important link. If the Grand Elder wants to make a dirty move, I will stop him."

Chen Wang said, "To be honest, I came here today for the witch who is being hunted down. That witch has the lives of millions of people on her hands. I don't want to get involved in the internal strife of your Ancient Immortal Holy Land."

This Sect Master Ye appears to be very kind, shrewd, and speaks pleasantly, but Chen Wang does not want to take action against this Grand Elder for her sake.

Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang took out a small bag and handed it to Chen Wang, saying, "This contains some of my good wishes. I hope you can accept it as a gift. If you are ever in trouble in the future and are willing to help me, I will repay you handsomely."

Ye Qingshuang handed over the small cloth bag directly.

After Chen Wang took it, the Mirror God easily infiltrated it, and he was somewhat moved after seeing it.

The cultivation resources that Ye Qingshuang took out were two or three times more than all the resources that Chen Wang had previously obtained.

The Ancient Immortal Holy Land was so wealthy that Chen Wang's hand trembled slightly.

You should know that the resources he had previously obtained were enough to support his cultivation to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

The small cloth bag that Ye Qingshuang provided him had a vast space. With all these resources combined, Chen Wang's Yunshan Academy could maintain its operation for a thousand years without needing any external help.

Moreover, it's no exaggeration to say that, combined with the resources Chen Wang possesses, there's enough for three people to cultivate to the Integration Stage with some to spare.

And this was merely the "greeting gift" Ye Qingshuang had mentioned.

Chen Wang smiled wryly and said, "Sect Leader Ye is truly generous."

Ye Qingshuang said, "I will keep an eye on the Grand Elder's movements. If anything happens, I will inform you, fellow Daoist. I hope we can join forces to get rid of this old thief!"

Chen Wang gave Ye Qingshuang a deep look, but did not take the opportunity to ask for any more benefits.

He needed to learn more about this woman. The matter of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface. Whether there were other people among the eight major forces who were conspiring with the Great Flame Heaven, this matter still needed to be investigated slowly.

The cultivation resources he collected today alone are already quite substantial, enough to move even a Nascent Soul stage expert.

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "I was somewhat surprised today. I am very happy to have met Sect Leader Ye. Let's keep in touch. Maybe there will be a suitable opportunity to join forces."

Ye Qingshuang knew that Chen Wang wouldn't easily agree to anything. Although the resources she offered were very generous, they were still far from enough to get Chen Wang involved in the internal affairs of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land.

Ye Qingshuang wasn't in a hurry; she just wanted to make a good impression on Chen Wang first, and then slowly make her plans for the future.

Ye Qingshuang rose and bowed, saying, "I thank you, fellow Daoist. I will certainly treat you well when you visit the Ancient Immortal Holy Land another day."

Her eyes sparkled, and her breath was sweet as orchids; she was indeed an exquisite beauty, yet she possessed an air of righteousness that made her seem like an unapproachable fairy.

Chen Wang's heart stirred, but he quickly suppressed the romantic thought and said in a deep voice, "Alright, then I'll take my leave now. I need to find that demoness to prevent her from committing any more murders."

Ye Qingshuang said softly, "Respectfully seeing you off, fellow Daoist."

Today, Ye Qingshuang took the opportunity to get to know Chen Wang, which will give her more help in dealing with the Grand Elder in the future.

She was still somewhat confident that she could bring Chen Wang to her side. If promising him a large sum of money didn't work, other methods were also an option.

It might not work for others, but Chen Wang was renowned and had a close relationship with the two princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ye Qingshuang had also heard of him.

Women still have a significant advantage in these areas.
