Chapter 756: The Third Eye on the Brow, The Great Demons Contend for the Path

"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!"

Qin Muye's face was dark. He had never expected that these people from the great families would actually go so far as to force the Spirit Emperor to abdicate.

His original intention was to have the great families subtly challenge the Spirit Emperor, but these people had gone and played their ultimate card.

Before this, the Spirit Emperor had still been wearing a mask of political cunning. Now, their actions had torn that mask away.

This forced the Spirit Emperor to start a reform of the entire Great Spirit Dynasty, using his own strength as a pivot. If the reform succeeded, the entire Great Spirit Dynasty would be reborn, becoming even more centralized.

For Qin Muye, this was not good news.

"The Spirit Emperor hasn't acted in a long time, and you fools think the gap between the 8th and 9th ranks is insignificant? Indeed, once you lose your reverence, you lose your minds."

In the Spirit Realm, there was only one 9th-rank cultivator, and this 9th-rank cultivator attended court, handled state affairs, and even discussed and mediated with the ministers. This gave the supreme elders of the great families the impression that a 9th-rank cultivator was nothing special, not much different from them.

This led to the current tragedy.

But from today on, everything would be different. The Spirit Emperor had wiped out all the great families involved, leaving only those who remained obedient.

More importantly, he had set an example, re-establishing the value and terror of the Immortal of the Great Primordial Dao.

"Forget it, it was just a means to an end." Qin Muye quickly dismissed the deaths of those fools from his mind and continued to think about how to intervene while the Spirit Emperor was reorganizing the realm, inserting his own interests.

"The methods of refining and controlling spirits are inherently in sharp conflict. The Spirit Emperor can only suppress them temporarily, not forever. Unless he maintains a constant high-pressure policy, but such a policy can only last for a short time, and long-term use will lead to chaos in the hearts of people."

"Even if the Spirit Emperor is powerful, he cannot control the hearts of people, unless he warps the consciousness and self-awareness of everyone."

"But he would never do that."

With the Spirit Emperor's strength, warping the consciousness of everyone in the Great Spirit Dynasty would be very simple, but he had not done so.

After all, for him, the cost would outweigh the benefits. The population of the Great Spirit Dynasty numbered in the billions, with new births and growth happening continuously. It would be impossible to constantly warp everyone's consciousness.

Perhaps he could bear it, but what then?

The Great Spirit Dynasty was meant to support him, not to satisfy his desire for rule. If he had to expend so much effort to maintain it, it would not be a good thing for him.

So, he tacitly allowed the existence of the great families, forming a collective of power.

Though it seemed unseemly for him to mediate with the ministers and families, having these people as the ruling class to manage the entire Great Spirit Dynasty allowed him to sit back and enjoy the resources. Why not?

However, the drawbacks of this system have now come to light. Unfortunately, the explosion was not loud enough, and it was not even allowed to fully detonate before the Spirit Emperor extinguished it.

"Since the great families are no good, I'll use the great demons instead. After all, we still need a black hand behind the scenes, and the great demons will do just fine."

Qin Muye quickly decided on his new plan. Looking at the black and white eyes in his hand, he saw no use for them and decided to use them directly.

With a gesture, the flesh on the two eyes began to grow incessantly.

For some unknown reason, these eyes had already become spirit beasts, and Qin Muye was using biotechnology to forcibly modify them.

No matter how mysterious spirit beasts might be, they held no secrets for Qin Muye. After all, he did not follow the normal path of cultivation and did not have the same superficial understanding as the Spirit Emperor.

A humanoid life form began to grow in Qin Muye's hands, eventually forming a human shape. The only distinctive feature was a black and white eye-shaped pattern on its forehead.

The creature's eyes had no life; it was just an empty shell.

Qin Muye would not allow it to grow randomly. He needed an empty shell, a manifestation of himself.

Indeed, he planned to split a thread of his consciousness and personally take control. Otherwise, if he let others handle it, things might go wrong again.

If this plan succeeded, the entire Spirit Realm would be reduced by one rank, from a 9th-rank world to an 8th-rank world, and the rank he cut off would become his own benefit. If there were no benefits, he would not usually intervene personally.

As for the matter of a 9th-rank cultivator personally intervening and losing face, he didn't care at all. If the leaders of the Three Teachings encountered such a benefit, they would not hesitate to act personally either.

After a simple process, this new incarnation opened its eyes, and the black and white eye pattern on its brow gradually faded away.

Then its strength began to rise, from 1st rank, 3rd rank, 5th rank, and finally stopping at 8th rank, just one step away from becoming 9th rank.

Of course, the final step was not something Qin Muye could simply push it through; this step was like a vast chasm, and Qin Muye did not yet have the ability to successfully cross it.

After all, he was only at 9th rank himself, and he could not even successfully create a 9th-rank spirit beast, let alone an incarnation.

Therefore, the upper limit was 8th rank.

"Shielding heavenly machinations, unparalleled fate, affinity with space."

These were the abilities this incarnation inherited from the black and white eye. Although they sounded impressive, in reality, it was just an empty shell that needed further development.

It was like having talent without the corresponding skills to back it up; it would be useless.

So, to fully utilize this incarnation's talent, Qin Muye needed the right methods.

Naturally, he chose the Spirit Master system, as this incarnation belonged to that realm.

The idea was simple: to compete for the favor of the Spirit Realm with the Spirit Emperor.

"So, the power is a bit too obvious."

"However, it can't be reduced; it's the guarantee for the incarnation. It just needs to be improved."

Soon, Qin Muye endowed this incarnation with a protagonist's aura and then chose a place to deploy it.

"The incarnation will follow the orthodox path of a Spirit Master, using the favor of the Spirit Realm to break through the chasm and become a 9th-rank, and finally become an insider!"

Whether it was the Spirit Realm or the Xuanzhen World, both were incomplete 9th-rank worlds, with an actual upper limit of 8th rank. To become 9th rank, one had to be chosen and favored by the world, just like the avaricious, angry, and deluded spirits and the Divine Emperor of the Shenyou Dynasty in the Mage Dynasty server.

It wasn't that they were incapable, but rather that there weren't enough spots.

If Qin Muye wanted to benefit from the weakened power level of the Spirit Realm, the best way was to infiltrate it and then betray it from within.

Originally, he could have relied on the great families to do the dirty work. Although the corresponding benefits might have been slightly reduced, since he wouldn't have to act personally, there would be no risk, and he could accept the loss, as not everything could be perfect.

Now, that was no longer possible. After the great families made a mistake, the Spirit Emperor had flipped the table. This might draw attention to the fact that the Spirit Realm would fall in power level within a year. This process had been ongoing, constantly draining the Spirit Realm's essence, though the amount was so small it was undetectable. However, once the accumulated loss became significant, it would definitely attract attention.

After the Spirit Emperor flipped the table, he would divert a lot of energy to this issue. If he delved into the investigation, there was a high probability he would realize the dangers of the spirit refinement methods.

At that point, it wouldn't be a ruthless approach but a bloody one.

He would definitely slaughter all Spirit Masters of the spirit refinement school and destroy all related materials.

Involving his own path, the Spirit Emperor would not show any mercy; he would kill without hesitation.

Don't think he would become soft-hearted just because he said he was getting old. His so-called softness was just a matter of weighing the benefits. Whichever side the balance of interests tilted towards, his thoughts would follow.

All 9th-rank cultivators had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, through schemes and intrigues. Even Qin Muye's current position was built on countless bones. How could they truly be soft-hearted?

Therefore, Qin Muye needed an incarnation to harvest benefits while also drawing the Spirit Emperor's attention, competing for the path!

"Is the Supreme Dao Master coming to see me next? What's going on?" Qin Muye had planned to wait for good news from his incarnation while studying time, but unexpectedly, the Supreme Dao Master of the Xuanzhen World had come over.

Given the status of the Three Teachings' leaders, they never visited without a reason.

It had only been a short while; why had the other party suddenly come? Logically, there shouldn't be any issues.

Whether it was the divine training program or any other matters, everything was normal, with no significant problems.

Even if there were, they wouldn't come to Qin Muye. These were minor issues, and he could just chat with the trained spirits. There was no need for a personal visit; sending a high-level elder or a disciple would suffice.
