Chapter 796: Another Divine Path Dispute, Neutrality Prevails

"Daoist friend, why do you have the leisure to visit me for tea today?" Qin Muye poured a cup of tea for the Supreme Dao Master, then said leisurely.

The visitor was not the original body but an avatar, just like him. However, he had still presented a formal invitation, though it was less solemn than when the original body visited, more like a private gathering.

This avatar of the Supreme Dao Master was only at the 8th rank. With their strength, they could not create avatars or clones of the same rank.

"Some trivial matters. I wonder when your original body will return?" The Supreme Dao Master took a sip of tea and asked.

"I'm not sure either. After all, you once said that if it could be avoided, you wouldn't return to get involved. So..." Qin Muye indicated that he did not know, and even more so, you previously said it would be best to stay away. Now, you come and go as you please. Do you really think everything should be done according to your will?

The Supreme Dao Master also picked up on the undertone in Qin Muye's words and said, "Daoist friend, don't misunderstand. The main reason is that Lord Heavenly Dao wants to change the term of the Divine Path from a hundred years to a permanent duty. This matter requires your original body to return and take charge."

"Sorry, I can't contact him. You know, I'm someone who avoids trouble. Otherwise, why would I choose to stay in a secluded place? The dispute between Daoist friend and Lord Heavenly Dao is truly something I don't want to get involved in."

"If I could contact the original body, I would inform him of this matter at the first opportunity."

Qin Muye indicated that he had no choice. Changing the term from a hundred years to a lifetime didn't concern him. In reality, the only ones who would truly lose out were the Three Teachings. No matter who was in power or who was optimized, that one percent dividend would not be reduced for him. Besides, the Divine Path itself was just a tool.

"Is there no way to be more flexible about this?" The Supreme Dao Master asked slowly.

"I would if I could, but I have no way. The original body seems to have captured another Middle Thousand World through that Middle Thousand World, so I can't do anything. However, he should be back within a thousand years. After all, no matter how much fun he's having, he won't go crazy." Qin Muye blinked and said. Of course, he knew what the Supreme Dao Master meant—find some emergency way to contact the original body and bring him back.

It was clear that when the Divine Path was initially established, the other party wasn't in a hurry at all. But now, with their own interests at stake, they were desperate. It just goes to show that when something doesn't affect you, you don't care.

Now that the matter had hit them directly, they were naturally in a hurry.

Even if he had an emergency contact method, he wouldn't use it for something so trivial.

Even if it were changed to a lifetime term, it wouldn't make much difference from a hundred-year term. As long as the original body intervened, no one would be able to leave.

When the net was cast, everyone would be caught, and the so-called lifetime term would be meaningless.

The Divine Path system itself was a net. No matter how high the fish in the net climbed, it wouldn't change anything.

"Indeed." The Supreme Dao Master wanted to say that this was important, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. First, Qin Muye wouldn't suffer any loss, and second, he had been the one to tell the other party to leave.

The other party was low-key and honest, but that didn't mean he could treat him with disrespect. If he were to treat him like a tool to be summoned and dismissed, the other party's perception of the Three Teachings would plummet.

Previously, when he said Qin Muye should stay away for a short time, the other party had given him face and didn't want to get involved in their disputes, which was already very amicable.

But now, asking him to come back would be deliberately making things difficult. If he got angry and joined forces with Lord Heavenly Dao, the Three Teachings would be in big trouble.

Lord Heavenly Dao managed the Divine Path system, and Qin Muye was responsible for the training of deities. The conflict of interests would cause the Three Teachings to suffer significant losses.

As for fighting? The Supreme Dao Master had never even considered it. How could they fight internally? It was normal to undermine each other's interests, with wins and losses, but if they really fought, there would be no winners, only losers.

"Then, does Daoist friend have any suggestions on how to resolve this?" Since the original body was not present, asking the avatar for a solution might still be helpful.

An avatar could also represent the original body in taking a stance, though it might not carry as much weight, it would still be a stance.

"None. Lord Heavenly Dao's power is beyond my capability to handle. Besides, Daoist friend, you are still here. What can I do?"

Qin Muye directly pretended to be confused.

A solution? If he were to suggest one, it would mean he was preparing to take sides. He wasn't foolish.

As the balancing point, once he took a side, the original peace would definitely be disrupted. So, he simply left it to them, saying, "You are the leaders, you decide."

As for any schemes, he wasn't actually afraid of them. First, he only had a one percent stake, and neither the Three Teachings nor Heavenly Dao would dare to touch it. If they did, it would mean they wanted to kill Qin Muye, and he would immediately flip the table.

Second, he had no power base. Scheming against the spirits who ran the training programs? That was even more ridiculous. What use was it to scheme against these spirits? They just conducted training, and even if he took a side, what problem would it cause? If he got angry and took his own life, returning to the Endless Abyss, they wouldn't dare to stop him.

Assassination was even less reliable. With the spirits' 8th-rank combat strength and their extensive equipment, only a 9th-rank or an avatar could instantly kill them.

If one of them were to die or disappear mysteriously, anyone with a brain would know who did it.

Right now, it was still fine, but once Qin Muye returned and started digging for the truth, how would they handle it?

If you counted, there were only about a thousand spirits, a stark contrast to the countless disciples of the Three Teachings. So, if one of them were to disappear, not only would the Three Teachings demand an explanation, but Heavenly Dao would also investigate.

"Since that's the case, we can only wait for the original body to return," the Supreme Dao Master said, seeing Qin Muye's unyielding and unyielding attitude. This visit was just a probe, not a real attempt to force him to take sides. There wasn't much conflict of interest between them, and offending him to the point of death wasn't a good idea.

They chatted for a while longer, but the conversation didn't involve much about interests. Instead, they discussed cultivation techniques and interesting anecdotes.

Otherwise, coming over for these matters would seem too opportunistic. Visiting was naturally for building relationships, which was itself a form of indirect benefit, though the gains were usually not significant.

Seeing that the conversation was winding down, the Supreme Dao Master got up to leave. If they wanted to discuss deeper matters, they would need to talk to the original body, as the avatar was significantly less capable.

After he left, Qin Muye let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he lacked the confidence of his original body; even if the avatar sitting across from him was also 8th-rank, the other party had no worries.

'Finally got rid of him. This Supreme Dao Master never gets up early unless there's something in it for him. He never visits during holidays, but as soon as there's trouble, he shows up.' Qin Muye couldn't help but grumble in his mind. He didn't dare say it out loud, as mentioning the other party's name could be sensed.

Just like if someone mentioned Qin Muye's name or nickname, he would feel it, though most of the time he blocked out such sensations, only leaving those of 7th, 8th, and 9th ranks.

Under normal circumstances, no one would mention such things recklessly. After all, the Xuanzhen World was a world of extraordinary beings, where the hierarchy of strength was strict. Talking behind someone's back could get you remembered.

So, saying bad things behind someone's back could indeed be detected, especially if the person was powerful.

Respect was a mandatory lesson for all cultivators.

Arrogant and self-centered cultivators usually didn't live long. Cultivators had emotions and desires. If you defamed or spread rumors about powerful figures behind their backs, you would likely be caught before any real damage could be done.

After all, they were beings of great power, though such sensing abilities weren't universal. At the very least, one needed to be 8th-rank, and even then, it had to be a special 8th-rank, akin to a boss template.

Although the original body's residual abyssal power provided some isolation, Qin Muye still spoke carefully, avoiding any mention of the Three Teachings' leaders or Heavenly Dao.

As for the Spirit Emperor, he was in the Spirit Realm. While the ability to sense across realms existed, it wasn't effective over great distances. The distance between the Xuanzhen World and the Spirit Realm wasn't a problem.

Moreover, the Spirit Emperor was relatively weak in this aspect. He focused on cultivating spirit beasts rather than his own strength, so it was uncertain whether he had this ability at all.

Such abilities weren't universal and depended on individual circumstances.

"I have to keep muddling through. I wonder when this will all end."
