Chapter 743: Two Worlds, Spirit Taming and Cultivation
Chapter 743: Two Worlds, Spirit Taming and Cultivation
"Actually being able to come over in person, this is truly bizarre!"
Qin Muye was thoroughly stunned. He had never expected that, after using the teleportation device, he would end up in this world cluster called the Spirit Taming Realm.
"Wait, why are the cultivation hierarchy and energy environment exactly the same?" Qin Muye was even more shocked.
Although the two worlds had developed differently, their environments and energy systems were completely identical. This meant that a cultivator could survive in the Spirit Taming Realm just as they would in their own world.
The only difference was that the Mystic Truth Realm followed a Daoist system, while the Spirit Taming Realm, as its name suggested, had a system similar to that of pet monsters.
"Same environment, different development, this is truly bizarre."
In the Mystic Truth Realm, this would be a group of cultivators who chose the path of taming beasts.
"However, these Spirit Tamers are not inferior to cultivators."
The Spirit Taming Realm, like the Mystic Truth Realm, had also engaged in colonization. However, they had deeply developed and modified the colonized worlds to create small worlds for breeding spirit beasts. This led to a situation where, while there was production, it was not as exploitative as in the Mystic Truth Realm, where the goal was to extract resources to the bone. Instead, it was a form of reverse support.
"The Spirit Taming Realm, in terms of strength, is probably not as formidable." After a comprehensive assessment, Qin Muye determined that it was a 9th-rank world and had already begun some external expansion, but its overall strength was not as great as the Mystic Truth Realm.
It was roughly equivalent to the Supreme Dao.
If one were to consider 9th-rank beings, there were indeed five: one Spirit Tamer and four spirit beasts. In other words, there was only one true 9th-rank being, as the Spirit Tamer and spirit beasts were considered a single entity.
More importantly, these four spirit beasts, due to their deep integration with the Spirit Taming Realm, seemed to have become 9th-rank not because of their inherent strength but due to the favor of the Spirit Taming Realm. They could only exhibit 9th-rank power within the Spirit Taming Realm, and outside of it, they would be only 8th-rank.
As for the Spirit Tamer, they were even more lacking. Without their spirit beasts, their strength would drop by ninety percent.
However, when the Spirit Tamer and spirit beasts worked together, they could unleash twelve to fifteen times their normal strength, a special form of enhancement.
In one-on-one combat, they were indeed inferior to cultivators, but calling them Spirit Tamers and expecting them to fight without their spirit beasts was like asking cultivators to fight without using their spells and abilities.
"In terms of high-level strength, the Spirit Taming Realm is inferior to the Mystic Truth Realm, but in terms of mid- and low-level strength, it far surpasses the Mystic Truth Realm. Unfortunately, in the extraordinary world, the high-level strength determines the direction."
"Maintaining the status quo is sufficient."
Qin Muye was somewhat disappointed. The Spirit Taming Realm was unlikely to cause significant damage to the Mystic Truth Realm, but the Mystic Truth Realm would not find it easy to conquer the Spirit Taming Realm either.
After all, the Mystic Truth Realm was inferior to the Spirit Taming Realm in mid- and low-level strength. If 9th-rank beings were to enter the Spirit Taming Realm, even with Qin Muye, it would be a five-on-five battle. The five from the Spirit Taming Realm could unleash 150% of their combat power, and fighting away from home would put them at a disadvantage. If they fought to the death, they could even leave one behind in the Mystic Truth Realm.
Because the threat was minimal as long as there was no invasion, Qin Muye placed the entire Spirit Taming Realm on the same level as the Supreme Dao, not the entire Mystic Truth Realm.
If the Spirit Taming Realm were to be more ruthless in exploiting its colonies, it might not be inferior, but due to the cultivation of spirit beasts, the current situation arose.
The Spirit Taming Realm was not dominated by sects like the Mystic Truth Realm.
Instead, it was more like a feudal society, where noble families and the imperial court governed together.
The cultivation of Spirit Tamers was highly valued, and policies were more human-centered, rather than oppressive.
Internal issues certainly existed, but they were not as severe as in the Mystic Truth Realm. The Mystic Truth Realm suppressed them temporarily with vast resources, while the Spirit Taming Realm had changed its survival through its system.
"So, I need to find a suitable identity to blend in." Qin Muye narrowed his eyes. He needed a legitimate identity to infiltrate and erode the entire Spirit Taming Realm.
The energy environment and cultivation hierarchy of the Mystic Truth Realm and the Spirit Taming Realm were identical, which suggested a possibility: these two worlds were likely the same world, split apart for some reason. This was why he was able to come over.
This also meant a problem: the Great Perfected Golden Immortal and the Great Golden Immortal in his mission included the Spirit Taming Realm as well!
The thought of it made him a bit anxious. He had come to gather resources, but now the workload had doubled.
Fortunately, he had already reviewed the Spirit Taming system, and it seemed easier to deal with than the Mystic Truth Realm. All he needed to do was find a way to kill the 9th-rank Spirit Tamer, and the remaining four 9th-rank spirit beasts would be no threat.
"Is a 9th-rank Spirit Tamer that easy to kill?" Qin Muye sarcastically remarked to himself. Everyone knew the solution, but the problem was that he couldn’t accomplish it.
Killing the 9th-rank Spirit Tamer was as difficult as getting the leaders of the three sects and the Heavenly Dao to join forces.
"I can only slowly wear them down. I can’t use the Divine Dao system, so I have to work within their Spirit Taming system." Qin Muye's expression fell; he felt the task was too daunting.
As for the idea that if he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have to deal with this, that was impossible. He understood that the two world clusters were getting closer, and they would likely encounter each other within three to five years. When that happened, a conflict was inevitable.
Once he resolved the 8th- and 9th-rank issues in the Mystic Truth Realm, he would definitely be tasked with handling the Spirit Taming Realm next.
"However, it seems that the Spirit Taming Realm has a more complete system when it comes to rules?" Qin Muye noticed that there were spirit beasts in the Spirit Taming Realm capable of manipulating time, which amazed him.
The Mystic Truth Realm had no concept of time, not because it didn’t exist, but because it was monopolized by the Heavenly Dao and deemed taboo.
Otherwise, even a world like the Weird Universe, which had just entered the 9th-rank, had numerous time-related anomalies. How could the Mystic Truth Realm not have any?
As for the Great Qian World, that world was peculiar, with a dynastic system that suppressed everything, including time. Once martial arts truly developed, similar techniques and skills would re-emerge.
In contrast, the Spirit Taming Realm was more open, and Qin Muye noticed several spirit beasts that could affect time.
"I need to find a good identity and focus on time-related abilities, perhaps a Chrono Dao spirit beast to cultivate." Qin Muye now had the qualifications to study time.
If he encountered the final Sky Net again, he could directly study the time channels, but unfortunately, that was in the past.
So, this time, with such excellent material, he was determined to seize the opportunity.
Qin Muye surveyed the scene and selected several suitable identities, immediately eliminating the poor ones. Although the Spirit Taming Realm had an academy system where commoners could rise to prominence, such cases were rare, and Qin Muye didn’t want to start from scratch.
He also didn’t want to join a major clan, as the competition there was too intense, even if it was healthy competition. Qin Muye didn’t want to be caught up in it.
Therefore, he had to choose a medium to lower-ranking clan.
There were several options, but none of them quite fit Qin Muye’s needs, as he required a Chrono Dao spirit beast, which was extremely rare.
Even major clans might not have one.
However, there was an exception. Qin Muye found a lesser-known clan with a solid foundation and resources but little achievement. They were hoping for a prodigy to rise and revitalize the clan.
So, he naturally eliminated it.
"If nothing works, I’ll just create the conditions myself." After selecting for about ten minutes without finding the right identity, Qin Muye decided to take matters into his own hands.
Since the conditions weren’t suitable, he could just create the right conditions. After all, he needed an identity, and resources were just a transitional phase, not a real necessity.
A Chrono Dao spirit beast was just a convenient starting point, not an absolute requirement.
"Alright, you’ll do. You’re a bit of a scoundrel, and your family isn’t doing so well. You’re just a minor troublemaker, so I might as well replace you with a bigger one."
Qin Muye quickly chose someone, a less-than-stellar individual but a legitimate heir in a family with some power in a small county.
The only downside was the starting point wasn’t very high, just a minor clan in a small county, but it was enough for Qin Muye. A higher starting point could attract too much attention.
"Replacing you should be straightforward. It’s a good thing I learned this technique from the information sea of the Weird Universe. Replacing a major figure would be problematic, but a minor one like you shouldn’t be an issue." Qin Muye replaced the individual’s existence, making him disappear, and then filled the void with himself.
After the replacement, Qin Muye became the other person.
