Chapter 785: The Morning Flower Festival Has Arrived, Fate Plays Tricks

Qin Muye had also investigated the origins of the Morning Flower Festival. It was essentially a commemorative holiday, and for the common people at the bottom, it didn't really matter much. The ones who truly cared were the wealthy young masters and misses, who would come out to play and enjoy themselves on this day.

After that, there was nothing much to it. It was originally just a local, niche event. If it weren't for the extensive promotion by Prince Yiwang's estate, it might not have caught anyone's attention.

Naturally, Qin Muye didn't take it to heart. He had an excuse, and no matter who it was, even without the Morning Flower Festival, there would be other miscellaneous holidays or excuses to use.

"Tsk, it seems this grandson of Prince Yiwang has realized his situation and is planning to escape," Qin Muye observed. The 'Gong Kang' who was under house arrest was plotting with the Heavenly Punishment Society on how to escape. If he didn't leave soon, he would suffer the same fate as Gong Kang.

Before, he might have naively trusted Prince Yiwang's estate, but as time passed and with the people outside keeping him under house arrest, he naturally understood that he had become a pawn.

Now, he deeply regretted not being a true playboy. If he were, he wouldn't have been in this situation.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now.

Qin Muye definitely wouldn't save him. They were not related, and besides, Qin Muye was waiting for this grandson of Prince Yiwang to serve as the catalyst for the blood sacrifice.

Indeed, this blood sacrifice required a catalyst. Otherwise, how would it begin? Just start killing randomly?

That was impossible. Although it was named after blood, it was fundamentally a ritual, a bloody sacrifice, not just a bloody mess. The blood was for the sake of the sacrifice, not just to create chaos. The cause and effect needed to be clear.

The ritual was the focus, not the blood.

"The people of Prince Yiwang's estate have already begun their actions. It looks like the ritual will take a considerable amount of time. If I remember correctly, it should be initiated at night," Qin Muye roughly estimated the time, which aligned with the intelligence his main body had sent him.

'Is the main body manipulating the timeline?'

Qin Muye was startled. This situation reminded him of his previous battle with the ultimate Sky Net, except now the roles were reversed, and he was the ultimate boss.

This naturally raised issues for a large number of Cosmic Dao and Causality Dao spirit masters, as these types were more or less related. Once the main body started manipulating the timeline, all these spirit beasts would be rendered useless.

The entire river of time had been turned into Qin Muye's domain, making it impossible for anyone else to interfere.

"Alright, let's go out for a walk," Qin Muye packed his things and decided not to stay cooped up at home.

He wanted to see if he could find something useful. Recently, he had been focusing on enhancing the strength of the Mirror Immortal, which had now reached the peak of the 8th stage, just one step away from breaking through to the 9th stage. Unfortunately, this one step was a chasm, requiring a strong wind to help him ascend to the heights.

This strong wind would be the blood sacrifice.

Unfortunately, the Mirror Immortal's strength was still a bit weak. Compared to other spirit beasts of the same rank, it lacked both combat experience and the number of spirit beast techniques. The truly useful techniques were the Mirror Golden Light, Instant Teleportation, and Spatial Cutting. The Mirror Golden Light was almost obsolete at the 8th stage, being only a basic technique. Only Instant Teleportation and Spatial Cutting were still useful, while the rest were passive techniques used for competition.

Moreover, it was very rare for an 8th stage spirit beast to have so few spirit beast techniques. The 8th stage was equivalent to the Great Perfection Golden Immortal level. Any spirit beast at this level would typically have at least thousands of spirit beast techniques, with many at maximum proficiency.

The Mirror Immortal in Qin Muye's possession was essentially a fast-tracked version, more of a tool. Thankfully, the gap between the 7th and 8th stages was significant; otherwise, the Mirror Immortal would have been an easy target for being overpowered by higher ranks.

But it was understandable. The Mirror Immortal had only been born recently and had no experience. Being able to fly on its own was already considered a good spirit beast.

So, Qin Muye didn't have high expectations. By nature, he rarely provoked trouble unless it came to him.

"Damn, he escaped???"

Qin Muye had been out for about half an hour when he suddenly realized that 'Gong Kang' had successfully escaped, although he hadn't left the city and was currently being pursued.

"Wait a minute, how did he manage to escape?" Qin Muye's face was filled with disbelief, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Wait. The fact that Gong Kang has the destiny of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal might be true, but this Gong Kang is probably not the original Gong Kang. Instead, it's the grandson of Prince Yiwang who has taken over Gong Kang's body."

"This is truly a twist of fate."

If he thought about it this way, everything made sense. If Prince Yiwang's estate hadn't targeted and allowed the grandson of Prince Yiwang to take over Gong Kang's body, Gong Kang would have remained just a third-rate independent spirit master. But now, things were different. In theory, if 'Gong Kang' really went all out, he could directly perform a blood sacrifice on Prince Yiwang and become a Great Perfection Golden Immortal.

This was a mutual relationship. Prince Yiwang needed the destiny of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal from the other party, and if 'Gong Kang' obtained the peak Golden Immortal strength of Prince Yiwang, he could also become a Great Perfection Golden Immortal.

"This is a small-scale struggle for the Dao, a drill arranged by the main body for me."

"Moreover, this is the beginning of my own struggle for the Dao. Only by succeeding in this can I face the Spirit Emperor next."

"But to call it a struggle, it might as well be a passive approach."

The main body wouldn't entrust such a major event to him without having various backup plans.

So, it was more like a struggle between the main body and the Spirit Master Realm, with the main body being well-prepared and ambushing this unknown-age veteran of the Spirit Master Realm.

Ultimately, he just needed to stall, and when the other party was worn out, he would win.

"And now, this is giving me the capital to stall the Spirit Emperor."

"Since the cause and effect haven't been disrupted yet, the likely winner this time should be 'Gong Kang'." Qin Muye finally understood what the unpredictable divine technique of the Mirror Immortal, 'Heavenly Will Unfathomable,' was for.

It was meant to change the original outcome, creating a chaotic situation, and then he would take advantage of the chaos.

If the water was too clear, he wouldn't be able to reap the benefits of this blood sacrifice.

"So, am I supposed to send Prince Yiwang and his grandson away together, or the entire family of Prince Yiwang?"

Qin Muye thought about this and ultimately decided to send the entire city away, to avoid his indecisiveness.

"Indeed, children make choices, but adults take everything."

Choosing how many people to sacrifice and who to pick was too difficult for Qin Muye. He felt it was unfair no matter whom he chose, so he decided to choose everyone. This way, everyone would enter the blood sacrifice ritual, making it very fair.

"Heavenly Will Unfathomable has been activated."

After 'Gong Kang' successfully escaped, Qin Muye also noticed that the causal divine technique of the Mirror Immortal, 'Heavenly Will Unfathomable,' had fully activated.

"Wait, the disruption isn't just local; the entire Spirit Master Realm's cause and effect are in chaos."

"This isn't a struggle for the Dao; this is a great calamity."

Qin Muye couldn't help but comment that this was indeed too extreme.

He hadn't expected it to be on such a grand scale.

Fortunately, this event was ultimately in his favor.

"Next, I should find 'Gong Kang,' after all, he is the main character in this grand drama."

With the cause and effect in chaos, the original path to becoming a Great Perfection Golden Immortal would now require effort. Luck was no longer on his side. If he didn't work hard, what else could he rely on—strength? That would be even more ridiculous.

What strength did 'Gong Kang' have? Although he seemed extraordinary, he was still far behind Prince Yiwang.

Since he lacked the strength to determine the outcome, he would have to rely on clever tactics or creative solutions.

"However, I think he won't be able to escape. Prince Yiwang is no ordinary person. Even if he's in the city, or even if he runs, he will be caught back." Qin Muye was certain that Prince Yiwang had left some kind of tracking device on his grandson, something that wouldn't be detected by 'Gong Kang.'

For a 7th stage spirit master, this was very simple, especially when the target was only a 5th stage, a complete mismatch in strength. Unless 'Gong Kang' had something like a simulator or a way to respawn, there was no way to escape Prince Yiwang.

"From the current situation, things are clear. So, let's go meet 'Gong Kang' and keep him in check to deal with Prince Yiwang." Since 'Gong Kang' was so crucial, Qin Muye definitely needed to keep him under control.
