Chapter 737: External Enemies, Retaliate When Necessary
Chapter 737: External Enemies, Retaliate When Necessary
"This thing must be the reason why Huang Bi was able to escape from the Kunlun Sect." Qin Muye held a black single eye in his hand. This thing was a living organism, not from the Xuanzhen World or any of its colonies, but a completely new form of life.
Don't ask him how he knew; with his perception, he could sense anything in the Xuanzhen World or its colonies with a mere thought.
"To some extent, it can conceal one's traces. It seems to be fully developed, capable of concealing up to the 7th stage, but it's a bit strained at the 8th stage."
Qin Muye pinched the black single eye. This thing was incredibly unique, seemingly formed by some kind of natural law.
"A brand new world!"
"This thing is a smuggled beacon!!"
"And it's from a world on par with the Xuanzhen World!!!"
From this black single eye, Qin Muye saw a glimmer of hope and a way out of the deadlock.
"No wonder this kid is so arrogant. It turns out he has a golden finger. Not only does this black single eye conceal his traces and act as a beacon, but it also grants him a significant amount of luck."
"Given this, his arrogance is understandable."
Thinking about how the other person had everything go smoothly, reaching the peak of life with everyone bowing to him and providing all sorts of resources, and then suddenly finding himself in a new place without such treatment, anyone would be frustrated. Coupled with being a newcomer, his personality couldn't change, naturally leading to trouble.
As for the black single eye being discovered by the Kunlun Sect's leader, that was a joke. This thing was only noticed by Qin Muye because he carefully analyzed it and realized it wasn't from the Xuanzhen World or its colonies. Even if the Kunlun Sect's leader noticed it, he wouldn't think much of it, just considering it a stroke of luck for Huang Bi.
It was only because Qin Muye had too much free time that he casually plucked it off Huang Bi before sending him away.
"Does this mean I can use this beacon to reverse-engineer the coordinates of the other world?" Qin Muye thought. "If internal troubles can't be resolved, then perhaps external threats can do the job."
"However, I can't just do it like this. I need to infiltrate that world first and assess the situation before I can further incite conflict."
It's not that two vast clusters of worlds meeting each other would necessarily lead to a life-or-death struggle. If they are evenly matched, they would likely coexist peacefully while secretly competing.
So, before that, he needed to infiltrate and lay the groundwork, preferably reaching a high position. Otherwise, without sufficient authority, he would be dead.
"However, the Fenshen Plan can't be neglected. I still need to oversee it."
Qin Muye knew that the world of the black single eye was an opportunity, but just an opportunity. He couldn't guarantee that it would work. On the other hand, the Fenshen Plan was more reliable. Qin Muye's idea was simple: use the Fenshen Plan to leverage power and gradually erode.
Don't be fooled; although he only occupied one percent of the entire divine system, as long as he held that one percent, he could bypass the Heavenly Dao and make minor modifications to the Xuanzhen World. Over time, this would be enough to bring the Xuanzhen World down a few levels.
And this process would be silent, with a high probability that even the leaders of the Three Teachings wouldn't notice.
Since the world's level was too high for Qin Muye to fight, he would bring the level down.
For example, a Primordial Great Immortal could be demoted to the 8th stage, a Great Immortal to the 7th stage, and an Immortal to the 6th stage, and so on, until they became 1st stage mortals.
It was like a limited transformation of spiritual energy.
If a 9th stage world became an 8th stage world, these people would be at Qin Muye's mercy.
Otherwise, why would Qin Muye bother promoting the divine system?
However, the divine system was also quite challenging to implement, as it wasn't just in the Xuanzhen World but also in all the colonies.
These colonized worlds were essentially part of the Xuanzhen World.
To comprehensively lower the world's level, these worlds would also be included. Otherwise, where would such vast benefits come from? They would be extracted from the world itself.
The only true beneficiary would be Qin Muye, an outsider. While the Heavenly Dao and the leaders of the Three Teachings seemed to gain a lot, they were actually overfishing the pond.
It was just too subtle for them to notice.
Qin Muye had experienced many peculiar worlds, either destroying them or being destroyed, which led to him developing so many unique techniques.
If the straightforward path is blocked, then he would have to take a more unconventional route.
Compared to external threats, Qin Muye actually didn't want to use an external world to strike the Xuanzhen World. The uncertainty was too great. However, the issue now was that it wasn't the Xuanzhen World targeting the other side; it was the other side targeting the Xuanzhen World.
This beacon had definitely exposed the Xuanzhen World's coordinates, and through Huang Bi's ascension, they might have also learned that the Xuanzhen World was a powerful world capable of colonizing others. It was likely that more spies would infiltrate to gather intelligence.
If he thought about it further, perhaps these spies had already infiltrated the Three Teachings, but this was less probable. Large-scale spatial fluctuations would be noticed, so it was more likely that it was a lucky coincidence, and he had caught the first beacon.
"Find an opportunity to investigate the colony world where Huang Bi is. There might be unexpected gains," Qin Muye speculated. Perhaps that colony world was the closest one to the other world.
If the other large world used that colony world as a stepping stone and a bridgehead, it would be highly disadvantageous for the Xuanzhen World.
Qin Muye was thinking about how to avoid this situation.
'My task is to deal with the 8th and 9th stages. If the Xuanzhen World collapses, it shouldn't be my problem.'
'But the benefits of this situation are significant.'
This time, the causal connection only involved the Xuanzhen World's Primordial Great Immortals and Great Immortals, while the world invading the Xuanzhen World had no connection to his task. This meant that even if he absorbed it, it wouldn't matter.
Although he hadn't absorbed a world in a long time, the benefits of a world were substantial enough to make Qin Muye very tempted. Not only could it serve as an external threat to the Xuanzhen World, but Qin Muye could also gain a lot from it.
He might not be interested in an 8th stage world, but a 9th stage world was a different story.
"I can do this, no, I must do this."
Qin Muye made up his mind. He would observe for a while, and if there were no issues, he would wait until the Fenshen Plan was on track before finding a way to infiltrate the world that was eyeing the Xuanzhen World.
Of course, if it was too strong and things went wrong, that would be even better. He could then drag the leaders of the Three Teachings and the Heavenly Dao into the mess. Regardless of whether they lived or died, Qin Muye would benefit.
After all, he could take the opportunity to eliminate them and complete his task. As for the potential danger? With his focus on high health, strong defenses, and quick escapes, even if he were killed, he could just revive and run away. What else could he do?
If things escalated to that point and the Xuanzhen World was destroyed, there would be no need to worry about the task. Survival would be the priority.
After putting away the black single eye, Qin Muye's mood improved significantly. Good news always brought a good mood.
"Master, Huang Bi has been killed by someone," the spirit that had been monitoring Huang Bi reported.
"What happened? I remember he was supposed to go to the Great Supreme Dao's territory to seek a master. How did he suddenly get killed?" Qin Muye was taken aback. After obtaining the black single eye, he hadn't paid attention to Huang Bi anymore, assuming that after a severe beating, Huang Bi would become more cautious. However, that opportunity never came.
"He coveted a Kunlun Sect disciple's magical treasure and tried to kill him to take it, but was counter-killed."
Qin Muye really didn't expect Huang Bi to try this again. Perhaps he had tasted the sweetness of success the last time he killed a Kunlun Sect disciple and wanted to do it again. This behavior could accumulate resources quickly, but this time, it failed.
The previous Huang Bi had the black single eye to help him, not only concealing his presence but also providing a significant boost in luck, which led to his success.
It was normal for the second attempt to fail. Without the golden finger's assistance and with the other person being a professional, how could a rogue like Huang Bi succeed in an ambush?
Failing to kill and rob, he was killed instead. The Kunlun Sect disciple got a significant windfall. Reporting this incident would earn him a reward from the Kunlun Sect, as Huang Bi was on the wanted list for killing a Kunlun Sect disciple and fleeing. Any disciple of the Three Teachings who killed him would receive a corresponding reward.
Although the Three Teachings competed with each other, they shared a common origin and were never stingy when it came to apprehending and eliminating those who threatened the interests of the Three Teachings.
