Chapter 745 -747: Secret Technique Sublimation, Spirit Emperor’s Doubts

“If I cultivate the green caterpillar myself, it should hatch in about three days, which shouldn’t be a problem,” Qin Muye said.

“I’ve also borrowed the Iron Will and Soul Ascension Spiritual Beast Techniques; now all that’s left is to gather the resources of the Cosmic Dao.”

“I must say, the evolution process is indeed very crude.”

After deeply studying the secret techniques, Qin Muye had roughly grasped the principle behind the evolution secret technique of spiritual beasts.

It involves the spiritual beast evolving by absorbing resources, and whether this is successful is closely related to the spiritual beast itself.

Just like the Mystical Moth, the reason four spiritual beast techniques are necessary is simple: only after reaching heavenly proficiency in silk spitting can it begin to absorb resources of the Cosmic Dao. After all, a weakling like the green caterpillar would hardly absorb the resources without the cocoon formed by heavenly-level silk spitting; it would instead likely be burst by the energy of the resources.

The remaining Resilient Insect Body, Iron Will, and Soul Ascension are purely to withstand the onslaught of energy and to ensure the spirit remains intact, where Soul Ascension entices it to evolve toward the Cosmic Dao.

Although it’s crude, it’s genuinely useful.

Of course, when Qin Muye mentioned that the evolution process was crude, the combination of resources for the Cosmic Dao was actually very delicate; without the right combination, what evolves might not necessarily be the Mystical Moth.

Qin Muye was still very optimistic about this.

He was actually considering whether modifying the types and combination of Cosmic Dao’s resources used to continue evolving the green caterpillar could result in different types of bugs or dual-attribute moths of insect and Cosmic Dao, or even more simply, stripping away the Insect Dao attributes to create the purest Cosmic Dao spiritual beast.

From the spiritual beast manual, pure Cosmic Dao spiritual beasts don’t exist; most Cosmic Dao spiritual beasts actually serve as secondary attributes.

Just like the Mystical Moth which is primarily of the Insect Dao with Cosmic Dao as secondary.”

Qin Muye was only interested in the Cosmic Dao, which is the Dao of Time.

He was not interested in other attributes.

Therefore, after the first Mystical Moth emerged, Qin Muye would attempt to transform it into a pure Cosmic Dao spiritual beast.

“Just wanting to experiment requires sufficient test subjects, meaning I need to mass-produce Mystical Moths, which isn’t a problem for me; however, I’m worried that neither the Great Spirit Dynasty nor the major families could withstand it,” Qin Muye said.

By ‘a large amount,’ he didn’t mean ten or twenty thousand but many more; thus, he needed to reduce the cost of producing Mystical Moths. If he couldn’t, then he would have to use what he had sparingly.

He couldn’t possibly only research Mystical Moths; Mystical Moths were just the beginning, with subsequent studies to develop moths possessing various innate Cosmic Dao spiritual beast techniques from green caterpillars.

The choice of green caterpillars was also straightforward – they are numerous and inexpensive.

If the cost of materials is already high, and the test subjects also end up being expensive, then Qin Muye wouldn’t even have a place to “borrow” them from.

“Who are you?” a voice interrupted Qin Muye’s thoughts.

“Oh, just passing by. Carry on with your business; pay me no mind,” Qin Muye waved his hand, signaling them to go away.

But obviously, the other party not only didn’t want to leave but also wanted to make things difficult for Qin Muye.

“Guards! There’s a thief in the treasure vault!” the person shouted loudly.

At that moment, Qin Muye suddenly woke up.

“Shit, I forgot this is the Great Spirit Dynasty’s treasure vault, not my living room; that was careless…” Qin Muye felt somewhat ridiculous.

The shouting man also had a vein bulging on his forehead; such an absurd mistake – how could one forget that?

However, he didn’t lower his guard. Being able to enter the Great Spirit Treasure Vault without a trace meant this was someone of at least the Golden Immortal level. The intruder probably hadn’t killed him because of the fear of the Great Spirit Emperor.

Many royal spirit masters and spiritual beasts rushed in, including many of the Golden Immortal level, who naturally acted immediately upon seeing Qin Muye.

Regrettably, no matter which spiritual beast technique was used on Qin Muye, none had any effect.

Qin Muye casually picked and chose as he filled his arms with Cosmic Dao resources from the Great Spirit Treasure Vault.

“This is what you get for attacking first; I’m just taking some items as compensation. Otherwise, if I had to lay down here, the cost would be entirely different,” Qin Muye leisurely said while taking the items.

The Spiritual Beast Technique ceased after the first round of attack because everyone present understood one thing: the opponent’s power vastly surpassed theirs.

If the opponent had wished to kill them, it would have been as easy as lifting a hand. Faced with such a powerful being, the opponent had spared them, and if they did not recognize this favor, it would be akin to seeking their own death.

As for the items in the Great Spirit Treasure Vault? Honestly, though the opponent took Cosmic Dao resources, which were indeed precious, their value was not high compared to the entire vault.

“So quick to react, returning already, I shall not meet with the Spirit Emperor, but do convey my regards to him; I will return another time to chat,” said Qin Muye, his figure gradually fading into obscurity.

The Spirit Emperor indeed arrived shortly after, clearly having sensed the issue.

“What happened?” inquired the Spirit Emperor. Behind him, a spiritual beast Netherworld White Tiger followed closely, exuding a terrifying aura.

The group could only truthfully report the situation to the Spirit Emperor.

The Spirit Emperor’s expression was stern.

“An unknown Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal who came out of nowhere, possessing a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal level Universe Dao Spiritual Beast, probably took the resources to cultivate a Cosmic Dao Spiritual Beast.”

Regarding Qin Muye, the Spirit Emperor did not boast about directly annihilating the opponent. The opponent was troublesome, skilled in escaping and hiding, akin to a venomous snake.

He could not consider the opponent incapable just because he showed a partial appearance; it was merely that the opponent did not want to start a conflict.

“This world truly hides many capable individuals; it seems my path is not alone!” The Spirit Emperor had the capacity to be magnanimous. Although Qin Muye was powerful, his actions did not show significant malice.

If there were any malice, he would have killed people to keep a secret. If it were not for the opponent intentionally exposing himself, he would not have come.

Those things that were taken? The Spirit Emperor actually did not care much. If it had been a group of Daluo Golden Immortals attacking him, killing them would not have been excessive, and taking some things as compensation was not too much.

“Well, let this matter rest,” the Spirit Emperor decided to move past the issue. The Great Spirit Dynasty could not afford to offend, nor did they wish to offend, the opponent.

Though he was powerful, a true conflict would utterly destroy the Great Spirit Dynasty.

The others exchanged glances, then naturally agreed and left.

They thought of providing the Spirit Emperor with a portrait of Qin Muye, but the next moment they shockingly realized they had absolutely no memory or impression of his appearance in their minds, as if it were a distant memory. They knew of his existence, yet they could not recall him.

The Spirit Emperor was not overly harsh about this; instead, he was reassured that Qin Muye might possess another secret spiritual beast capable of influencing people’s memories.

With countless spiritual beasts under the heavens, the Spirit Emperor naturally could not claim to recognize them all.

The matter thus passed. However, the Spirit Emperor remained thoughtful, wondering how to locate this unknown Spirit Master, Qin Muye.

His idea was simple: to collaborate with him.

Killing him was impossible. If there had been a chance with a Daluo Golden Immortal, now there were none.

Therefore, the best approach was to form an alliance, to become allies.

In terms of strategy, the Spirit Emperor had it as much as the Three Sects’ Sect Masters. Killing was the least effective solution, not only possibly failing to defeat the opponent but also potentially causing loss to oneself.

The Spirit Emperor assumed Qin Muye was also a Spirit Master, thus naturally possessing numerous formidable spiritual beasts.

“He’s probably not one of those treacherous rebels. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so easily,” the Spirit Emperor pondered to himself.

Though the Great Spirit thrived under his rule, it didn’t mean peace prevailed everywhere because the existence of extraordinary power had already bred Spirit Masters who disregarded discipline, typically seeking resources, spiritual beasts, and Spiritual Beast Technics, leaning towards the Evil Path.

Evil Path Spirit Masters were not good people, resorting to arson and murder, employing any means necessary to acquire what they needed.

This group had become a primary target for suppression by the Great Spirit Dynasty.

However, compared to regular Spirit Masters, Evil Path Spirit Masters were relative few, and with the presence of noble families, although these families sometimes turned out to be behind-the-scenes manipulators of Evil Path Spirit Masters, for the sake of benefits, they more often than not aligned with the Court.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Emperor was contemplating whether Qin Muye was an old monster from some noble family who had broken through and had come specifically to greet him, although the greeting seemed incomplete.
