Chapter 750: Moth of Flowing Light, the Origin of the Cosmic Dao
Chapter 750: Moth of Flowing Light, the Origin of the Cosmic Dao
"Really, it can accelerate time. The speed is truly fast."
Qin Muye, with his quick reflexes, grabbed the Xuan Sheng moth. Since the contract had not been established, the Xuan Sheng moth instinctively tried to escape.
It even activated its innate spirit beast skill, Cosmic Light Flow, to accelerate its own time.
However, this was still too slow for Qin Muye.
"Only able to accelerate its own time, not bad." Qin Muye held the palm-sized Xuan Sheng moth in his hand. After evolving, its physical attributes had increased significantly, leaping to the 3rd stage. The original green caterpillar could barely reach the 1st stage.
But this was just the foundation. Its potential had also broken through. Generally, the evolution of green caterpillars would stop at the 5th stage, with very few reaching the 6th stage. The upper limit for the Xuan Sheng moth was the 8th stage, and whether it could reach the 9th stage, Qin Muye couldn't guarantee, as he himself was only at the 9th stage.
"Using time acceleration to speed yourself up, this is indeed a bit weak, but that's all you've got."
Qin Muye casually stuffed the Xuan Sheng moth into a high-strength glass bottle, then tightened the lid. At its current strength, even if it accelerated by a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, it would still be like a snail crawling to Qin Muye.
"Over these days, I've been thinking about how to disrupt the entire spirit beast taming system. Later, I realized it was very simple, simple enough to just change a small concept."
Qin Muye looked at the Xuan Sheng moth. In the Spirit Beast Taming Realm, spirit beast tamers and their spirit beasts were of one heart and mind, rarely betraying each other, whether it was the tamer or the spirit beast.
Even those evil spirit beast tamers who committed murder and arson were very fond of their spirit beasts, no matter how cruel they had been before.
As Qin Muye delved deeper into his research, he discovered that this was due to the contract.
The contract not only ensured the spirit beast's loyalty but also deepened the tamer's affection for the spirit beast. That's why Qin Muye did not use a contract to bind the Xuan Sheng moth.
This was a rule, a rule in the Xuan Zhen World that was on par with the Heavenly Dao.
Disrupting this rule would cause the Spirit Beast Taming Realm to fall.
So, he developed a new school of thought.
"The Spirit Refining School, which can refine spirit beasts into one's own abilities. This way, not only can one gain the spirit beast's power, but there's no need to raise the spirit beast; one only needs to cultivate oneself."
"Even the contract is unnecessary. Just a small spell can change the direction of the entire world."
Qin Muye watched the Xuan Sheng moth struggling in the glass jar. He reached out and extracted its origin, which contained the power of the Insect Dao and the Cosmic Dao. Qin Muye split the origin into two parts.
The Insect Dao origin was sealed away, while the Cosmic Dao origin fell into his hand, transforming into data backups.
"The data of time, this is the most intuitive."
"Originally, I thought I would need a large number of Xuan Sheng moths, but with the Spirit Refining School, everything becomes possible."
Spirit beasts were the essence of the Spirit Beast Taming Realm. Through the new school of thought he created over the past three months, Qin Muye solved this problem at its root.
Thus, Qin Muye extracted time-related data from the Xuan Sheng moth in the Spirit Beast Taming Realm.
The emergence of the Spirit Refining School further disrupted the essence of the Spirit Beast Taming Realm, causing it to fall to a lower level.
Unlike the Divine Dao system in the Xuan Zhen World, the Spirit Refining School was openly malevolent, but he was certain that no one would refuse it.
More importantly, the Spirit Refining School and the Spirit Beast Taming School could not coexist; one could only choose one school to cultivate.
The Spirit Beast Taming School could be converted to the Spirit Refining School, which was a malevolent move left by Qin Muye, but the Spirit Refining School could not be converted back to the Spirit Beast Taming School. This was a method Qin Muye used to disrupt the world's level, and there was no way he would let anyone turn back.
"Next, I need to find a way to spread the method of the Spirit Refining School." After putting away the Cosmic Dao origin, Qin Muye pondered how to proceed.
Based on the time comparison between the two worlds, the two world clusters would encounter each other in about five years, and they would become aware of each other in two years.
As for the black single-eyed spirit beast's releaser, Qin Muye was still investigating, but had no results. He suspected it was due to some unexpected event that it accidentally landed in the Xuan Zhen World.
And there's a possibility that this thing is only half, with another similar eye somewhere else.
Two eyes can connect with each other, commonly known as the Two-Realm Flow.
This means that someone from the other side could use the eye to locate and come to this time, a conclusion Qin Muye reached after deeply understanding the Spirit Refining School.
In other words, one day, a true protagonist might be transmitted to him.
When that happens, he could give this improved version of the Spirit Refining School to the protagonist, allowing them to not only control spirits but also refine them, and the damage to the Spirit Beast Taming Realm would be multiplied.
"Promotion aside, I can't just directly spread the method. I can only do it indirectly through relics or secret realms."
Qin Muye knew that if he directly gave the Spirit Refining technique to a spirit beast tamer, they would definitely be wary, after all, who would trust a stranger?
On the contrary, if they fought and died to obtain it from relics or secret realms, it would definitely be considered a great treasure, and they wouldn't suspect a thing.
"First, I'll create some secret realms, then promote them through public opinion, and finally spread the method. As long as I hide the fact that the two schools cannot coexist and create a time difference, it should be a sure thing."
"There's a 90% chance I can reduce the world level of the Spirit Beast Taming Realm to the 8th stage before the two world clusters encounter each other."
Compared to the Xuan Zhen World, Qin Muye found dealing with the Spirit Beast Taming Realm relatively easier. The Spirit Beast Taming Realm had too many flaws, with clear strengths and weaknesses.
Unlike the Xuan Zhen World, which was balanced and developed to its peak, requiring a gradual approach, a strong dose of the Spirit Refining School would directly collapse the upper limit.
According to Qin Muye's conclusion, once the world level of the Spirit Beast Taming Realm drops, the upper limit would be the 8th stage for spirit beast tamers, and the 7th stage for spirit beasts. This is because, through the contract, spirit beasts are one stage lower than their tamers, but the contract itself is a rule in the Spirit Beast Taming Realm, which allows them to maintain the same stage as their tamers.
Of course, if spirit beasts cultivated on their own, there would be no suppression of their strength. However, in most cases, without a tamer, spirit beasts can hardly reach the 6th stage, usually stopping at the 5th stage.
The 5th and 6th stages are the difference between the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm. Crossing this level means the difference between mortals and immortals.
This is naturally due to the contract, which might be related to the origin of spirit beast tamers. Qin Muye didn't delve deeply into this, but he believed that the 9th stage of the Spirit Beast Taming Realm was likely due to the contract.
From various perspectives, the contract is the foundation and the weakness of the Spirit Beast Taming Realm.
The Spirit Emperor seemed to have not noticed this, possibly because he invested all his energy into cultivating spirit beasts, neglecting further exploration of his own system, being too busy to think about it.
Unlike the leaders of the three sects in the Xuan Zhen World, who, after reaching the peak of their lives, actively explored the Immortal Dao. This behavior is what led them to a dead end, even making it impossible to learn from each other's strengths without a system of the same level.
"As long as I can reduce the Spirit Beast Taming Realm to the 8th stage, the subsequent tasks will be much easier."
"However, I also need to ensure that the Spirit Beast Taming Realm isn't destroyed by the Xuan Zhen World."
Qin Muye felt a bit of a headache at this thought. As one of his debt repayment targets, the Spirit Beast Taming Realm could be destroyed after he leaves, but it absolutely cannot be destroyed during his task period. It's not that he is kind-hearted; he just doesn't want any unexpected complications.
This isn't like the time in The Lord Era; now, he is repaying his debt. If the Spirit Beast Taming Realm falls apart, what if there's a problem with the judgment?
"At that time, I can only use the time difference to hold off. This way, the Divine Dao system of the Xuan Zhen World will also need to accelerate, making it easier to resolve when they clash."
With this in mind, Qin Muye decided to act first. When the time is right, he will let the Supreme Dao and the Spirit Beast Taming Realm conflict, thus delaying the time. Otherwise, if all three sects attack together, the Spirit Beast Taming Realm, which has fallen to the 8th stage, would definitely not be a match for the 9th stage Xuan Zhen World.
A middle-sized world would normally engage in battles that last for thousands of years.
