Chapter 794: The Solution to Breaking the Stalemate Follows
Chapter 794: The Solution to Breaking the Stalemate Follows
"Damn, I almost bit the dust," Qin Mu Ye said after successfully escaping. After breaking free from the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree's lockdown, he teleported nearly five hundred thousand miles, creating numerous virtual coordinates along the way before he dared to stop.
Although the two sides hadn't actually engaged in combat, if they had, Qin Mu Ye would have been in serious trouble.
If the Spirit Emperor had just given him a single blow, there was a ninety percent chance he would have been down on the ground. He might not have died immediately, given his 9th-stage vitality, but he certainly wouldn't have been in good shape.
He wasn't the main body, and if he died, he would be truly dead. His 9th-stage status was more like a watered-down version.
Fortunately, he wasn't at the bottom of the barrel. After all, he was just a representation, while his spirit beast, Jing Zhong Xian, was the real watered-down version. Throughout the journey, Qin Mu Ye had been controlling Jing Zhong Xian, who had been a very obedient tool beast, never causing any trouble.
In terms of being a tool beast, Jing Zhong Xian was indeed very qualified.
"Where am I now? The distance I've run in these few days is probably farther than where my main body has ever been," Qin Mu Ye complained. His main body mostly stayed at home and rarely went out.
That made his incarnation a bit awkward.
"If things get really bad, I'll go see the Shadow Armor Incarnation to see if he can provide some support," Qin Mu Ye thought after some consideration. He had managed to escape twice by luck, but the third time might be more difficult.
The Spirit Emperor was likely to deduce that he was using the sect to harvest the Great Spirit Dynasty's qi to enhance his own fortune. The next time, the Spirit Emperor would have a more comprehensive strategy to counter him.
His fortune mostly came into play before the Spirit Emperor caught him. In actual combat, his limitations would become apparent.
It was probably the first time the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree had used this new spirit beast technique in combat, which is why he managed to find a weak point by combining it with his qi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped today.
This kind of luck can't be counted on to happen twice. He didn't want to bet on it, especially since he had offended the Spirit Emperor, the strongest figure in the Spirit Mastery Realm. There would be no one to save him in a crisis.
So, he decided to seek external help.
He could stay out of the Xuanzhen Realm but have the Shadow Armor Incarnation come to help.
It was obvious that the Shadow Armor Incarnation would be available. All the affairs in the Xuanzhen Realm were handled by the spirits, and he was just there as a mascot, living a carefree life every day.
In comparison, Qin Mu Ye felt incredibly unlucky. They were both incarnations, so why was the other one enjoying life while he had to struggle everywhere? It was completely unfair.
"However, I need to have a plan to get there," Qin Mu Ye thought, even though he wanted to seek the Shadow Armor Incarnation's help. He knew he couldn't just go easily.
There was a teleportation array in the laboratory, but with the Spirit Emperor pursuing him so closely, if he left any traces that the Spirit Emperor could discover, the consequences would be severe.
If the Xuanzhen Realm and the Spirit Mastery Realm were to meet and engage in combat, it would cause a major mess.
At first glance, it might seem very helpful to Qin Mu Ye, but it wouldn't benefit his main body. The main body's plan was to gain advantages from these two worlds. If they met, those advantages would be lost.
If the Three Teachings and the Great Spirit Dynasty were to clash, many plans would be disrupted.
The idea of reaping benefits as a neutral party would be out of the question. The information gap was the key, and without it, how could he stand against the terrifying forces of two vast worlds?
The only outcome would be to choose a side and fight.
Neutrality wouldn't be an option because, at that point, there would only be allies and enemies, no neutral ground.
No one would allow someone to benefit from the conflict, so choosing a side would be inevitable. Qin Mu Ye would definitely choose the Xuanzhen Realm. Given the situation in the Spirit Mastery Realm, even without offending them, their conservative and unambitious nature made it impossible to align with them.
"However, there is a way. I can use causality to indirectly let the Shadow Armor Incarnation know my thoughts."
"Only, Jing Zhong Xian isn't skilled in this area." Jing Zhong Xian's causality path was more focused on shielding, hiding, and disrupting. The kind of causality that could break through a point to influence a larger situation was beyond Jing Zhong Xian's capabilities.
Because Jing Zhong Xian was not specialized in it, if Qin Mu Ye really took action, he would leave corresponding traces.
Most Spirit Masters might not notice such traces, but the Spirit Emperor was not one of them.
The Spirit Emperor was not an ordinary Spirit Master, and the Great Spirit Dynasty had trained similar Spirit Masters. Although the unpredictable will of the Heavenly Mirror caused the causal and fortune paths to become chaotic, they still possessed some abilities.
At the very least, it was certain that there existed an 8th-stage Spirit Master in the Great Spirit Dynasty who specialized in the causal path and had a secondary focus on the fortune path, and this person might even be a royal Spirit Master.
If it were not a royal Spirit Master, the Spirit Emperor would have dealt with them long ago; there was no way they could have survived until now.
Although most of their abilities were lost, they could still roughly deduce to some extent. The accuracy rate was about one in ten thousand, but this was not a significant number for the Spirit Emperor, who could investigate it instantly.
"I hope my main body can lend a hand; I'm almost at the end of my rope." Qin Mu Ye felt a bit helpless as he sensed the slight vibration of the Heavenly Mirror.
This was the Heavenly Mirror's ability to seek good and avoid evil in action. The fact that it was avoiding evil indicated that the Spirit Emperor had once again locked onto his position. If he stayed here any longer, he would be caught again.
Currently, the ability to seek good and avoid evil had a success rate of about 30%, which was already quite good. With the causal and fortune paths in chaos, other Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters were affected, and the Heavenly Mirror was no exception. A 30% success rate was already impressive, as other Spirit Masters had only a one in ten thousand chance.
Qin Mu Ye decisively left the area through teleportation and spatial slicing. He did not want to bet on whether the ability to seek good and avoid evil would be accurate; he would just run first.
Regardless of its accuracy, Qin Mu Ye would not lose. His situation was the same wherever he was, with no significant difference.
As he had just stepped away, he immediately sensed a terrifying spatial storm rushing toward him, with countless massive tree branches emerging, tearing apart the entire area.
"Tsk, he really caught up. Even with a 30% chance, it still happened." Qin Mu Ye did not feel relieved when he saw this; instead, he went through several hundred thousand spatial divisions to create various false coordinates.
This was naturally to confuse the pursuing Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree. This way, the other party would need some time to find his true coordinates.
This time would be reserved for Qin Mu Ye to continue preserving his life.
He definitely needed to counterattack, and the expansion of his sect could not stop. But the premise was that he must not be caught. If he were caught, everything would be for nothing.
"Without high health and strong defense, all that's left is running fast. Each day is worse than the last." Qin Mu Ye did not approve of his current situation. If it were his main body, standing there and letting the Spirit Emperor attack might not even break his defenses. Even a light scratch would do minimal damage, as his main body's defense was so strong that it could not even be scratched, let alone damaged.
Now, he had been reduced to just running.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Mirror's usefulness, he could have directly refined it, and the spirit mirror body alone could be used in various ways.
He wanted the Heavenly Mirror to do the work, but it was not feasible. The Heavenly Mirror's small body could not withstand the pressure; only Qin Mu Ye could handle it.
Most mirror spirits were fragile. Unless the mirror body was made of some heavenly material like copper or iron, which might change the spirit mirror body, his ordinary Eight Trigram Mirror only had changes in accommodating the causal and fortune paths, not in increasing durability.
Therefore, if he used the Heavenly Mirror to operate the spirit mirror body, a passive Spirit Beast technique, to counter the Spirit Emperor's Spirit Beasts, the outcome would be the Heavenly Mirror being destroyed. You needed a strong foundation to perform complex maneuvers; you had to be able to show off first.
"Fine, I have to run again. Why is this thing so persistent? It seems to have learned many Spirit Beast techniques specifically targeting me." Qin Mu Ye sensed the spatial abnormality and had to run again, hoping to mislead a few more times before establishing a sect in the area.
