Chapter 731: Three Thousand Great Realms, Three Teachings Supreme
Chapter 731: Three Thousand Great Realms, Three Teachings Supreme
Qin Muye forcibly opened a new continent using the power of the abyss at the edge of the Antarctic. However, the environment was far from ideal, and now it was devoid of life, desolate and barren.
"This is barely enough to blend in, but I don't know how to cultivate into a xian anyway."
The Xuanzhen World, as a great immortal world, naturally had cultivation as its mainstream. His own inexplicable abilities were entirely different. Thinking of those three, though simple, they exuded a divine and Daoist aura, and they likely concealed their true selves. If they were to truly clash, the scene would be even more intense.
"If it doesn't work, maybe I can try the God List?"
Qin Muye pondered. The Xuanzhen World seemed to be dominated by three 9th-rank beings, but he suspected that the true ruler might be the Heavenly Dao. Since the Heavenly Dao usually did not intervene, things were as they were.
Therefore, the God List could indeed be played, and it could even trap these people. After all, Qin Muye had all the data from the Tablet of Fate and the data from the Gendaya Mother Goddess. Once released, the Heavenly Dao would definitely favor him.
Who wouldn't want to enhance themselves, even if it meant sacrificing some members of the three great teachings? Why not do it?
However, he then realized that this might not be effective. Although he could replicate the God List event, there were significant issues. The three 9th-rank beings were unlikely to be as humanized as the three leaders in the "God List."
The conflict in the "God List" arose from Yuanshi Tianzun's favoritism towards his disciples and Tongtian Jiaozhu's egalitarian teaching, which led to the consequences. Otherwise, success would be impossible.
In the Xuanzhen World, the Kunlun Sect Master and the Penglai Sect Master, who had a somewhat rustic style, did not have such issues. The former did not favor his disciples and handled matters impartially, while the latter was extremely strict in selecting disciples, with no concept of egalitarian teaching.
Even Taishang Daode, whose Taishang Dao was not a direct lineage but a major sect on par with the Kunlun Sect and the Penglai Sect, did not have such issues.
Therefore, it was impossible to spark a great calamity through the God List.
Each world had its own unique circumstances. In the "God List," the human realm could suppress the gods and Buddhas, and even Nuwa could be held back by the remaining national fortune of the Shang Dynasty.
In the Xuanzhen World, however, mortal kingdoms had never existed, and the three teachings had always ruled.
Of course, now there were four teachings, as they had promised Qin Muye the possibility of spreading his own doctrine and forming a major power.
"The God List won't work, and it's unlikely to make the Heavenly Dao and the three sect leaders turn against each other."
"I'm stuck in a deadlock again."
Qin Muye was somewhat helpless. The enemy was stronger than him, and the mutual interests were deeper than he had imagined, making it impossible to break them down one by one.
"I can't stay stuck here forever." Qin Muye knew that although the cause and effect on his body had been generously cleared in advance by the "Lord Era," it didn't mean he could run away or just get by.
If he had such thoughts, trouble would eventually come.
"Take it one step at a time." Qin Muye thought about trying to create some discord.
To be honest, he didn't have much confidence. Interest disputes? Probably not. In the era of external expansion, many interests were not within the Xuanzhen World but in other worlds.
Without significant internal interest disputes, it was impossible to cause major problems.
As for emotional issues? That was even more absurd. These three had lived for countless years, and their hearts were as hard as iron, if not harder.
The death of a disciple was nothing to them; they might even see disciples as part of their interests.
They seemed emotionally rich, but Qin Muye knew that these three were truly indifferent and would not care much about the status of their disciples.
After opening a new world in the Antarctic, Qin Muye found a place to lie down. What else could he do?
As for buildings, he would deal with them later. Recruiting people? Not an option. Ordinary people could not enter his territory, let alone survive.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world belonged to the three great teachings. Even if Qin Muye wanted to recruit, he couldn't find anyone in the Xuanzhen World. He would have to go to other uncolonized worlds.
This was too much trouble, and he would have to find and conquer new worlds himself.
In the Xuanzhen World, the worlds were divided into three categories: small, medium, and great. Worlds below 6th rank were called small worlds, 7th and 8th rank were medium worlds, and 9th rank worlds like the Xuanzhen World were called great worlds.
In the Xuanzhen World, there are no current invasions of the Three Thousand Great Realms. After all, 9th-rank worlds are not that easy to find, and even if they were, it would definitely be a tough battle. At the very least, one of the major sects would need to fully commit, or even the combined forces of the three great sects.
As for the Medium Realms, they are generally handled by 8th-rank Great Luo Golden Immortals. Each Great Luo Golden Immortal usually oversees several Medium Realms, either managing or invading them.
The division of Small Realms is even more casual, mostly overseen by 7th-rank Golden Immortals, with tasks delegated progressively.
In the Xuanzhen World, the lowest rank of immortals is 6th-rank, which includes three stages: Wandering Immortal, Mystic Immortal, and Golden Immortal. This stage is crucial in the immortal path, as it marks the transformation from a mortal to an immortal, hence the density of stages.
Below this stage, the mortal stages are even more numerous, divided into: Awakening to the Dao, Opening the Light, Spiritual Enlightenment, Nurturing the Soul, Divine Movement, Formation of the Embryo, Fusion of the Spirit, Drawing the Void, and Mystic Spirit.
Once one reaches the Wandering Immortal stage, they can ascend to the Xuanzhen World. This is generally the division in the lower realms, which are the colonies invaded by the Xuanzhen World.
"So many colonies supplying resources, no wonder the Xuanzhen World is so rich that it's dripping with oil. Even the disciples of the three great sects don't need to do anything to have a steady stream of resources for their cultivation."
"Rare treasures in the lower realms are just everyday essentials for the disciples of the great sects."
"If it weren't for my mission, I might have considered staying in the Xuanzhen World and joining them in their corruption."
The conditions are indeed excellent, and the other party genuinely wants to work with him to expand the Xuanzhen World. However, this is not something Qin Muye can decide. The Xuanzhen World is powerful, but compared to the "Lord Era," it falls short.
Even compared to the insect world, it is lacking. One key point is that the Xuanzhen World has no backing.
Despite its apparent strength, the Xuanzhen World's influence cannot compare to the insect race he encountered in the Sorcerer Dynasty or even the Demon Mechanic Emperor.
Thus, he has now run into a solid wall. Otherwise, why would the "Lord Era" target the Xuanzhen World?
It's like the Da Qian World, which clearly has backing. The human race was on the brink of extinction, so he was sent there to save the situation. This is the difference.
Once the high-level forces of the Xuanzhen World are eliminated, the rest will be simple.
Without 9th-rank and 8th-rank immortals, can a group of 7th-rank immortals really hold onto their legacy?
It's unlikely.
At that point, the "Lord Era" could handle the Xuanzhen World as it pleases, even using it as a gift.
"Having no backing is truly pitiful." Qin Muye shook his head, but then realized he was in a similar situation.
As for defecting to the Xuanzhen World? That's impossible. Although he feels some sympathy with the Xuanzhen World, he can't withstand the "Lord Era." Besides, he has other options.
After resolving the Xuanzhen World, he could go to the fairy tales, where he could team up with Chaos, Zeus, and himself, forming a powerful group.
Moreover, the fairy tales are more suitable for him. In the Xuanzhen World, he will always be an outsider. The three sect leaders are natural-born beings of this world, akin to legitimate sons.
Qin Muye, an outsider, doesn't even qualify as a legitimate son. At best, he is a son-in-law.
He won't have any inheritance rights, and if he develops in the future, he will have to lead the charge. Otherwise, how could he justify the cultivation they provide?
There are benefits, but there are also drawbacks. The drawbacks won't surface immediately but will only appear once Qin Muye is firmly rooted in the Xuanzhen World.
Expanding the benefits is right, but the process of doing so requires various costs. The one who will pay the most will be Qin Muye, not the leaders of the three great sects.
"Next, they will likely start promoting me, considering I am a 9th-rank immortal, which will be helpful for the future, so that the sect disciples don't act rashly."
The Xuanzhen World is vast, and the three great sects have more than just their core branches. There are various smaller sects that have split off, all respecting one of the main leaders, forming something akin to side branches.
