Chapter 784: A Glimpse of the Future in the Mirror
Chapter 784: A Glimpse of the Future in the Mirror
Five days had passed, and the Chao Hua Festival was drawing near. Qin Muye had once again changed his appearance and rented a new residence through a real estate agency.
The situation with 'Gong Kang' and the Heavenly Punishment Association was exactly as he had predicted; they were all like fish in a barrel now.
The one who had betrayed them was none other than Vice President Min Tao. According to Qin Muye's estimation, it would be the seventh day of the head returning to the body in two days.
Why couldn't he have thought of something better to do instead of this?
However, these matters had little to do with Qin Muye. He was merely keeping an eye on them. His current focus was on the Immortal in the Mirror.
Indeed, the mirror demon had successfully transformed, and it had happened earlier than expected. This made Qin Muye doubt his own existence, suspecting that it was the work of his true self. According to the data, it should not have happened now.
If the previous mirror demon was a Bagua Mirror, it was still a Bagua Mirror now. However, a translucent figure had appeared in the center of the mirror, and this was the Immortal.
Well, calling it an Immortal might be a bit exaggerated, but its abilities were indeed formidable. In addition to the original golden light in the mirror, the ability to avoid misfortune and bring good fortune, and the ability to teleport, it had gained three new innate spirit beast techniques: the Spirit Mirror Body, the Unfathomable Will of Heaven, and the Destiny as a Blade, as well as the final ability, Spatial Cleavage. These three new spirit beast techniques were obtained after evolving into the Immortal in the Mirror.
Spatial Cleavage was understandable, as it was meant for self-preservation and was rarely used under normal circumstances.
However, the Unfathomable Will of Heaven and the Destiny as a Blade were likely to be used for plucking the fruit and competing for the Dao. The former was a spirit beast technique of the Causality Dao, excelling in disrupting causality, while the latter was a technique of the Fortune Dao, but it did not increase one's fortune; instead, it intercepted it.
More importantly, these two spirit beast techniques were passive and had not yet taken effect, which was quite intriguing. Under normal circumstances, the Unfathomable Will of Heaven being passive made sense, but the Destiny as a Blade looked like an active technique, yet it was now passive. This could only mean that the wielder was his true self, and when and how to use it were unknown.
This saved him a lot of trouble.
"No wonder he told me to compete for the Dao with peace of mind. It turns out he is the one taking action, and I just need to endure the beating. What a joke, how can I possibly withstand the beating of a Spirit Emperor?"
Qin Muye thought his true self must be crazy.
"However, the 9th-stage opportunity should be during this blood sacrifice at Prince Yi's Mansion."
"The target of his blood sacrifice can be confirmed as a contract or the Spirit Servant Realm itself, but they are essentially the same. The corresponding factor is the life he grafted onto Gong Kang, using it to break through to the Great Sage Golden Immortal stage."
"However, it seems that this is more of a process of bestowing blessings. As long as I grasp it during this process, I can successfully break through to the 9th stage."
"Unfortunately, this 9th stage only takes effect in the Spirit Servant Realm, and once I leave, I will revert to the 8th stage."
"Still, this is enough. I am already a focal point and a node. What I lack is not 9th-stage strength but this enhancement."
He quickly analyzed many things, especially since the two new spirit beast techniques were not yet effective, clearly to avoid alarming the enemy.
"This true self is quite adept at borrowing others to achieve his goals," Qin Muye couldn't help but think of the last time someone received such treatment, which was the Cosmic Will of the Shining Universe. This time, it was Prince Yi's Mansion.
However, Prince Yi's Mansion did not have the grand scale of the Cosmic Will, as the matters involved were far less significant. Planning a 7th-stage breakthrough, while cautious, was not a difficult task.
"The causal connections at this stage are still relatively normal. I can use the Immortal in the Mirror to deduce the causality and see what the situation is with Prince Yi's Mansion."
Qin Muye pondered for a moment. It was a good opportunity, and it would be a waste not to use it.
Moreover, the Immortal in the Mirror needed to be enhanced to the 8th stage, as its current strength was not sufficient for the subsequent requirements.
This thought made him realize the urgency. From the intelligence he had gathered, Prince Yi's Mansion planned to take action during the Chao Hua Festival. The reason for choosing this time was not because it was special, but because it was a festival that could attract many Spirit Servants from other regions, thereby improving the quality of the blood sacrifice.
In recent days, not only had the entire city been prepared, but there had also been extensive publicity. While not everyone in the Great Spirit Dynasty knew, at least ten percent of the population was aware.
People were coming in a steady stream, as most of them were Spirit Servants, and once the blood sacrifice began, there would be significant gains.
Of course, Prince Yi's Mansion had invested a great deal to stabilize these Spirit Servants.
Now, a large number of Spirit Servants were still on their way, and with the word spreading, the treatment here had naturally skyrocketed.
"Hell, what is this crap??" Qin Muye quickly withdrew from the Heavenly Calculation. This was an innate ability of the Causality Dao spirit beast, which could deduce the Heavenly Calculation through causality and then reflect the content through the contract into the Spirit Servant's eyes.
The deduction process went smoothly, but apart from a bunch of meaningless things and images, Qin Muye didn't understand anything.
"Was the deduction unsuccessful, or am I just not getting it?" Qin Muye was a bit bewildered.
This thing was far more bizarre than the Heavenly Dao search he had conducted in the Tides World using his lifespan. At least in the Tides World, it was a straightforward deal: pay with your lifespan, and you get the corresponding information, which was always accurate.
But the Spirit Servant Realm was different; it had turned into a riddle.
"So how do those Causality Dao Spirit Servants figure out that Gong Kang has the potential to reach the Great Sage Golden Immortal stage? They must be making it up," Qin Muye thought. The Causality Dao was indeed not something just anyone could master.
At least give me some useful hints, he thought.
"Fortunately, it's not like I got nothing." Among the large number of meaningless images, Qin Muye quickly found one that stood out: a city soaked in blood.
It didn't take much imagination to realize that it was the city he was in.
This must be the blood sacrifice ritual that would be activated during the Chao Hua Festival.
"Seems like the blood sacrifice starts at night?" Qin Muye noted the sky in the image; the entire city was lit up, and it wasn't early evening. It must be close to midnight when the ritual would begin.
"Maybe the other images require a different decoding method?" Qin Muye couldn't help but think.
Perhaps these meaningless things were just because he couldn't translate them into something he could understand. This was why Causality Dao Spirit Servants all seemed like riddle masters.
As for how this image came to be, Qin Muye was 100% sure it was sent by his true self. He didn't believe in such good luck that he would randomly come across it.
"That means my true self is really in the future, and this image is definitely something he just took and sent to me." Qin Muye rubbed his chin, pondering just how powerful his true self had become.
From what he could see, time seemed to no longer bind his true self. Even if a fight were to break out, whether it was the Spirit Emperor and his spirit beast, or the leaders of the Three Teachings and the Heavenly Dao, even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for his true self.
His true self had already surpassed them in terms of time.
"So what does my true self want now? With such overwhelming power, why does he still need me to compete for the Dao?"
"My true self's ambition is truly vast."
Although he didn't know his true self's real intentions, the fact that he remained hidden indicated that he had grand plans.
"Beyond 9th stage?"
Suddenly, this term popped into his head. It might just be possible.
"No, it should be the Mystic Truth World and the Spirit Servant Realm!"
"Since he mentioned cutting down the power levels, he must be planning to do it. The power levels that will be cut will be the resources he needs, the stepping stones to becoming beyond 9th stage."
Research requires resources, and resources cannot appear out of thin air; they must be paid for.
Given his true self's nature, he would transfer the costs whenever possible, and only pay out of his own pocket as a last resort.
This process was likely about transferring the costs.
"Such a busy life." Qin Muye's face fell. The thought that his vacation was almost over made him look rather unhappy.
He tried the Heavenly Calculation again, but all he got were meaningless things. Clearly, his true self was no longer providing him with any information, essentially telling him to figure it out on his own.
His true self was probably worried that giving too much information might alter the future, which would not align with his plans.
The future is not fixed; even the slightest insignificant thing can change its direction. Just like Gong Kang, the Causality Dao Spirit Servants said he had the potential to become a Great Sage Golden Immortal, but he ended up in this state.
