Chapter 382: A System Resembling Demons

"Whew~ Is this thing so fragile? It's gone already. I thought it would struggle for three to five days. What a pity. I couldn't learn the Ascension Profound Realm Meditation Sutra, only some scraps." Qin Muye received the feedback.

This Ye Zhen seemed to have gained a powerful and bizarre force, but in reality, he was just a defective product, far inferior to those who truly learned the Ascension Profound Realm Meditation Sutra.

Of course, he couldn't blame others. If he wasn't capable, there was nothing he could do.

Qin Muye originally planned to create a half-human, half-demon, but Ye Zhen was simply not up to the task and was directly consumed, turning into a mere evil demon.

Although it was a failure, he didn't invest much. Whether it was the transformation or the growth process, it was all done by the secret spirit masters of the Blood Rose Society, so Qin Muye didn't care at all.

"Lost his mind and became bizarre. Tsk, I hope the Wu Dao practitioners and secret spirit masters can handle it and draw attention."

Qin Muye wasn't intentionally causing trouble. It was mainly because they brought it upon themselves. He was just a corpse now, unable to do anything.

Soon, Qin Muye shifted his focus to the new experimental subject.

The Tianying experimental subject needed to practice the entire set of secret martial techniques to break through to the True Martial stage, which required some time. Therefore, Qin Muye could only record data and start experiments on secret spirit masters in the meantime.

"A Spirit Transformation Realm secret spirit master, not bad. And a core member of the Starry Sky Society, much higher than the initial stage of the Tianying experimental subject."

Secret spirit masters, like Wu Dao practitioners, are divided into five stages: Augmentation Body, Seeding Spirit, which are equivalent to the second stage, Body Forging and Intent Cultivation.

Then come the Response Spirit, Spirit Transformation, and the highest True Spirit stages, corresponding to the third, fourth, and fifth stages, respectively.

This secret spirit master was at the Spirit Transformation stage, naturally higher than the Tianying experimental subject, who was at the third stage, while this secret spirit master was at the fourth stage.

"The Starry Sky Society is one of the oldest organizations among secret spirit masters, with a thousand-year-old lineage. Secret spirits are as numerous as the stars," Qin Muye checked the information. "The secret techniques they use are also more advanced, celestial in nature, far superior to the young Blood Rose Society, which is leagues behind."

Qin Muye's dissection began quickly. Compared to the Wu Dao will within the secret martial techniques, the secret spirits were much easier to locate.

These secret spirits are implanted in the secret spirit masters' bodies from a young age and achieve symbiosis over time.

So, when he cut open the subject's flesh, Qin Muye immediately saw the secret spirit, which still resembled a plant, with roots embedded in the flesh and leaves extending along the bones, looking quite eerie.

"Damn, it's bizarre. The Wu Dao practitioners, who seem to excel in physical strength, actually manifest their spirits, while the secret spirit masters, who are supposed to be specialized in the body, are actually more like mages."

As for why such a peculiar situation exists, it is likely due to the system.

Qin Muye was exploring the secrets of the secret spirit masters on one hand and studying why the two systems diverged on the other.

"From what I can see, the secret spirits in the secret spirit masters seem to have a certain operational mechanism; otherwise, how would they cooperate with the secret spirit masters to absorb secret spirit energy?"

Through further observation, Qin Muye discovered that the entity that absorbed external energy and grew stronger was not the secret spirit master but the secret spirit itself. It appeared that the secret spirit master grew stronger, but in reality, it was the secret spirit. The secret spirit master's strength was based on the secret spirit.

This was similar to how Wu Dao practitioners cannot separate themselves from their Wu Dao will.

In general, in typical cultivation or immortal systems, they don't necessarily need to comprehend things like sword intent or blade intent. They just need to grow stronger, and whether or not they do so only affects their combat abilities, not their overall life force.

Of course, if it does affect them, then they should consider whether they are cultivating themselves or those so-called sword intents and blade intents.

After all, these things are a form of mental manifestation that doesn't belong to them, like someone who is devoted to the sword and understands various sword intents through the sword. At this point, they should reflect on whether they are the master of the sword or the slave of the sword.

If they are the master, do they really need these things? Are the derivatives of their own consciousness really named after swords, and are they solely devoted to the sword? Swords are just weapons; why would they have so much consciousness? If they really think the sword has its own consciousness and meaning, that would be interesting.

Like the Wu Dao practitioners, they clearly discovered the problem with the Wu Dao will earlier than the secret spirit masters, so they separated it. Now, although the Wu Dao will is lively and even has a certain self-awareness, it is merely a means for Wu Dao practitioners to fight against enemies.

On the other hand, the secret spirit masters seemed to be oblivious. But upon reflection, it made sense. Even at the 4th stage, the secret spirit's self-awareness was still low. Unlike the complete Wu Dao will in the Tianying experimental subject, which displayed intelligence comparable to a 5-year-old child and continued to grow with strength, the secret spirits of the secret spirit masters were naturally inferior to the Wu Dao will of Wu Dao practitioners at the same stage.

"This feels like a demon?" Qin Muye suddenly had a strange sensation.

"Actually, that's not far off."

"Perhaps it's even more extreme."

Qin Muye held a Manystar, a secret spirit that could achieve symbiosis when implanted in the body, but only in females. Unlike the martial techniques of Wu Dao practitioners, which could at least improve physical health if not fully mastered, the failure of a secret spirit to achieve symbiosis meant certain death for the secret spirit master.

Secret spirit masters did not need to practice diligently like Wu Dao practitioners, but their failure meant death.

"So, the gender imbalance is something the secret spirit masters have to bear the blame for," Qin Muye commented.

"If the Wu Dao will encounters a secret spirit, what would happen? One is intangible, and the other is tangible. Would there be a special reaction?"

"If I could fuse a secret spirit master with a Wu Dao practitioner, would the two systems merge?"

Qin Muye's mind began to wander. The encounter of the Wu Dao will with a secret spirit did not mean a confrontation. After all, Wu Dao practitioners had fought secret spirit masters many times, so the Wu Dao will and secret spirits had already met. What Qin Muye meant by "encounter" was fusion.

Thus, the idea of fusing practitioners from the two systems emerged.

However, the difficulty was significant, and further experiments were needed to determine if it could be successful. If it worked, Qin Muye thought he could provide each person in his territory with a special derivative hound, bird, or mount, which would be a pleasant surprise. At the very least, they would share sensory abilities, greatly aiding reconnaissance and tracking.

"Master, the latest intelligence: the North and South Secret Martial Realms are about to hold a new round of exchanges," Black Hand sent Qin Muye a message with a brief summary.

Qin Muye recalled that the North and South Secret Martial Realms held such exchanges every three years, as part of the intelligence he had gathered.

However, whether it would be held in the North or the South was always uncertain, determined by a lottery.

Qin Muye checked the details, but the exact date had not been announced yet, as it too was determined by a lottery.

In the past, there were no lotteries; instead, a fight would determine the location, with the winner making the decision. As Wu Dao practitioners, they naturally preferred the most combative method.

But the fights became too intense, leading to serious consequences and preventing participation in subsequent events. Thus, the method shifted from relying on strength to relying on luck, with the location and time determined by lottery.

This compromise seemed to work well.

So, for now, the news was just to inform the various secret martial schools to prepare, recall their disciples, and ensure they were ready to break through in advance to avoid any unsatisfactory outcomes.

Of course, there were likely deeper meanings behind it, but the specifics would have to wait for the goblin spies to report back.

"Master, we can take this opportunity to wipe out both the North and South Secret Martial Realms," Black Hand suggested.

Qin Muye felt a strange sense of deja vu, as if the protagonists were holding a martial arts conference, and the antagonists were planning to take advantage of it to unify the martial world.

"How confident are you?" Qin Muye asked.

"Nine out of ten, as long as there are no unexpected events!" Black Hand did not dare to claim absolute certainty, as unexpected events could always occur, like a meteor falling from the sky.

"Try to pull the secret spirit organizations into it as well. When the time comes, we can eliminate both extraordinary systems at once, saving us a lot of trouble," Qin Muye said, suggesting a more decisive approach, as it was not a significant issue.

"Yes, Master, I will do my best," Black Hand could only promise to try his best rather than make overconfident claims.
