Chapter 742 -744: Two Worlds Alike, Cultivating Spirits and Immortality

“Actually being able to come here in the flesh, this really is bizarre!”

Qin Muye was utterly dumbfounded; he truly hadn’t anticipated being transported to this world cluster named the Spirit Realm through the teleportation device.

“Wait, why are the level system and energy environment exactly alike?” Qin Muye was even more flabbergasted.

Though the development of the two worlds was different, the environment and energy systems were completely identical, meaning that a cultivator could survive in the Spirit Realm as well.

The only difference was probably that the Xuanzhen Realm was based on the Immortal System, while the Spirit Realm, as its name suggests, was akin to a system similar to pet elves.

“The same environment but different developments, this really is bizarre.”

In the Xuanzhen Realm, these would be considered a group of cultivators who chose to specialize in Tame Beasts.

“However, these Spirit Masters are not weaker than cultivators.”

The Spirit Realm, like the Xuanzhen Realm, also engaged in colonization, but it deeply developed and transformed the colonized worlds into various small worlds used for breeding Spiritual Beasts, which resulted in production but not the same marrow-sucking exploitation as in the Xuanzhen Realm; instead, it provided reversed support.

“In terms of strength, the Spirit Realm is probably… on the weaker side,” Qin Muye assessed, and although it was confirmed to be a Level 9 world and had begun some external expansion, its overall power was not as formidable as that of the Xuanzhen Realm.

It was roughly equivalent to the Great Qian’s standard.

Speaking of Level 9, there indeed were such beings, a total of five- one Spirit Master and four Spiritual Beasts. In other words, there was only one Level 9 entity, since the Spirit Master and the Spiritual Beasts were considered as one.

More importantly, these four Spiritual Beasts seemed to have become Level 9 not due to their strength but due to the favor of the Spirit Realm. They could only exert Level 9 power within the Spirit Realm; once they left, they would be at Level 8.

As for the Spirit Master, it was even more inferior; without the Spiritual Beasts, their strength would decline by ninety percent.

However, if the Spiritual Beast and the Spirit Master worked together, they could exert 120% or even 150% of their power, which was a kind of special compensation.

In single combat, they were indeed not as good as cultivators, but they are called Spirit Masters after all; asking them not to use Spiritual Beasts would be like asking cultivators not to use spells and divine skills.

“In the higher echelons of power, they are inferior to the Xuanzhen Realm, but in the middle and lower tiers, they far surpass the Xuanzhen Realm. Unfortunately… in the Extraordinary World, it’s the high-level power that determines the direction.”

“Sufficient for maintenance, I suppose.”

Qin Muye was somewhat disappointed; it was highly unlikely that the Spirit Realm could inflict effective damage on the Xuanzhen Realm, but it wouldn’t be easy for the Xuanzhen Realm to breach the Spirit Realm either.

After all, the Spirit Realm surpassed them in the middle and lower levels, and if Level 9 forces really entered the Spirit Realm, even with Qin Muye included, it would only be five against five. The five from the Spirit Realm could still exert 150% combat power, which meant that as the away team, they would generally be at a disadvantage and could even leave one of the Xuanzhen Realm’s side behind if they fought desperately.

It was precisely because there was no great threat as long as there was no invasion that Qin Muye ranked the entire Spirit Realm on the same level as the Great Qian, rather than comparing it with the entire Xuanzhen Realm.

If the Spirit Realm were a bit crueler towards its colonized worlds, it might not be so inferior, but it seems that due to the breeding of Spiritual Beasts, the situation has led to the current state.

The Spirit Realm was also not controlled by sects like the Xuanzhen Realm.

Instead, it was more like a feudal society, where noble families co-ruled the world with emperors.

Moreover, the cultivation of Spirit Masters was highly valued, and in terms of policy, it leaned more towards people-centric rather than oppressive hierarchies.

There were definitely internal issues, just not as severe as those in the Xuanzhen Realm, which simply suppressed them temporarily with a large amount of resources, while the Spirit Realm changed the way of living thanks to the system.

“So, I need to find a roughly suitable identity to blend in,” Qin Muye narrowed his eyes; he needed a legitimate identity to then corrode the entire Spirit Realm from within.

The energy environment and realm system of the Xuanzhen Realm and the Spirit Realm were identical, indicating a possibility that these two worlds were likely parts of the same world.

They were split apart due to some reason, and that is precisely why he could come here.

This led to a problem, for in his mission, the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal and the Daluo Golden Immortal included the Spirit Realm as well!

Just thinking about it makes it seem absurd, I came here to mooch but ended up doubling my workload.

Luckily, I’ve reviewed this Spirit Control System, and it’s easier to handle than the Xuanzhen Realm, as long as I figure out a way to kill that Level 9 Spirit Master, the remaining four Level 9 Spiritual Beasts won’t pose much of a threat.

“Damn… Is that Level 9 so easy to kill?” Qin Muye mocked himself, everyone knows this solution, but the problem is, he can’t do it.

Killing this Level 9 Spirit Master is as difficult as getting the Three Sects’ Sect Masters to collaborate with the Heavenly Dao.

“I can only chip away at it slowly, but I can’t use the Divine Dao System, I have to start with their Spirit Control System,” Qin Muye’s face fell, feeling the task was overwhelmingly difficult.

As for the idea of not having to deal with this if he hadn’t come, that’s impossible, he realized now that the communities of both worlds were drawing closer, and in at most three to five years, they would inevitably meet, and the conflict was bound to happen sooner or later.

Once he dealt with the Level 8 and 9 from the Xuanzhen Realm, he would certainly be asked to handle those from the Spirit Realm too.

“However, this Spirit Realm seems to have more complete rules?” Qin Muye noticed that there were spiritual beasts within the Spirit Realm that could control time, which left him amazed.

The Xuanzhen Realm did not involve concepts related to time, not because it didn’t have them but rather they weren’t explored, it seemed to be monopolized by the Heavenly Dao and set as a taboo.

Otherwise, even the Weird Universe, a world just entering Level 9, had many time-related abnormalities; it was improbable that the Xuanzhen Realm would lack them.

As for the Great Qian world, it was inherently bizarre, with the Destiny Dynasty system suppressing everything, including time, until martial arts truly begins to develop and then similar cultivation techniques and martial skills would reemerge.

In contrast, the Spirit Realm was open, and Qin Muye detected many spiritual beasts capable of affecting time.

“Find a good identity, train some time-related… oh, should be Cosmic Dao Spiritual Beasts,” Qin Muye now had enough credentials to research time.

If he encountered the ultimate Heavenly Net again now, he could directly study the Time Channel, but unfortunately, that was all in the past.

So this time, coming across such excellent material, he absolutely had to seize the opportunity.

Qin Muye scanned his options, ruling out many suitable identities, and poor ones were certainly eliminated first. Although the Spirit Realm had an academy system with no shortage of commoners rising to the top, they were rare, and Qin Muye did not want to start from scratch.

If it were a powerful, prominent family, Qin Muye also did not want to join. The competition in such families was too intense; even if it was healthy competition, it was still too tumultuous, and Qin Muye didn’t want to get caught up in that.

Therefore, he had to choose a moderately lesser family.

There were plenty of candidates, but none quite fit Qin Muye’s criteria because he needed Cosmic Dao Spiritual Beasts, which were extremely rare.

Even the great families might not have them.

But there are exceptions, of course, and Qin Muye had found a lesser-known family that had resources and a foundation but lacked achievements, just hoping for a golden phoenix to emerge from their chicken coop and rebuild the family.

So, naturally, he ruled that one out.

“If all else fails… I’ll have to fabricate some accident,” Qin Muye spent ten minutes selecting but couldn’t find a desirable identity, so he started to consider other means.

If the conditions weren’t suitable, he would just create the right conditions; he was after an identity, and resources were just a means to an end, not a true necessity.

The Cosmic Dao Spiritual Beast was simply a convenient starting point for Qin Muye, not an actual requirement.

“Alright, it’s going to be you. You’re nothing but a wastrel anyway, and your family isn’t doing great either, just a minor bother. Better to be replaced by a major disaster like me.”

Qin Muye quickly chose his target, someone of poor character but the legitimate son of a family with enough clout to act recklessly within their county.

The only downside was that the starting point was not very high, just a family in a small county town, but for Qin Muye, that was sufficient; a higher starting point could lead to trouble.

“Just need to switch places, and it’s done. Luckily, I learned this trick from the sea of information in the Weird Universe; replacing significant figures won’t do, but it’s not much issue with lesser figures.” Qin Muye’s substitution involved erasing the other person’s existence, leaving a void that he then filled.

After the switch, Qin Muye became the other person.
