Chapter 758: Chapter 760: Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster, Blessing Continues

Three days flashed by, and the Eight Trigrams Mirror in Qin Muye’s hand successfully transformed into a Mirror Demon, which he then contracted.

This Mirror Demon possessed three Spiritual Beast Techniques. The first was an innate technique shared by all Mirror Demons, named Mirror Golden Light, an attack technique of the gold and light attributes. It could release golden light through the Mirror Demon’s surface to attack.

The second technique was different, belonging to the attribute of Karma Dao. It was an acquired Spiritual Beast Technique named Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster. It had the ability to detect danger in advance and offer solutions, but it was triggered by chance, and the triggers were split. It might sense danger beforehand or guide one towards auspicious signs, or neither or both might occur.

In short, it was all up to luck.

Fortunately, the Mirror Demon had a third acquired Spiritual Beast Technique related to the Luck Dao, named Blessing Continues. It could increase its own luck, perfectly complementing the second technique, Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster.

However, don’t expect it to defy heaven. The newly born Mirror Demon was quite weak, and its three Spiritual Beast Techniques weren’t very strong, especially since their proficiency level hadn’t even reached the beginner stage.

Although there were the celestial, terrestrial, mystery, and yellow levels of proficiency, it did not mean that one would be at the yellow level at birth. One should start at the beginner level.

Mirror Golden Light was not too bad; although it was the Mirror Demon’s innate Spiritual Beast Technique, at least it could be cultivated. Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster and Blessing Continues could not be improved through training. These passive skills did not act on the body, so there was no way to change them; one could only slowly grind to increase proficiency.

"This Mirror Demon of yours is indeed peculiar. Your species’ innate technique is limited to just one, yet you’ve comprehended two other attributes’ acquired techniques." Qin Muye was somewhat caught between laughter and tears. If he hadn’t intercepted it, Feng Shun might have truly transformed from a charlatan into a proficient Spirit Master skilled in divining the Heavenly Mechanism.

After all, it was the original entity’s action, and its gifts are not to be underestimated.

The only pity was not acquiring the Mirror Demon’s other innate Spiritual Beast Technique.

This innate technique, named Spirit Mirror Body, could significantly enhance the strength of the Mirror Demon’s body and rebound a certain degree of attacks. It could also clear a considerable level of negative status effects. While not guaranteed to succeed, it was a rare technique nonetheless.

It was somewhat equivalent to the Resilient Insect Body of a green caterpillar; only a standard Mirror Demon could acquire it.

Mirror Demons only possessed two innate Spiritual Beast Techniques: the guaranteed Mirror Golden Light and the remaining Spirit Mirror Body. Unlike green caterpillars, which also have a third regressive technique, Insect Healing.

After all, their kinds are different, with no excessively complicated paths.

Even though there was no Spirit Mirror Body, acquiring two additional acquired techniques was already quite heaven-defying. Besides, the Spirit Mirror Body wasn’t completely unattainable.

This piece on the Mirror Immortal in his hand could indeed complete that innate technique; the original entity had already considered this for him.

The entity that peered into the future must have seen this point; earlier, Qin Muye thought it strange because, in his opinion, the Mirror Demon chosen by the original entity was bound to be full of Talent.

Although it was now full of Talent, he estimated that it was precisely because of these two acquired techniques that it lacked the Spirit Mirror Body.

The development of the Spirit Mirror Body was dependent on the quality of the Mirror Demon’s previous mirror form, and this Eight Trigrams Mirror was actually not new but quite an old mirror, which caused the quality to decline.

Qin Muye speculated that before the Mirror Demon took shape, it had likely been passed down for many years. However, in the Spirit Realm, such antiques were not valuable, which is why it ended up in Feng Shun’s hands to serve for appearances.

An old object, after all, bears more persuasiveness, just like the saying that without hair on your lips, your words carry less weight—first impressions are very important.

Since the Mirror Demon had fallen into Qin Muye’s hands and had just formed, it was unable to move on its own. Instead, it relied on Qin Muye’s hand like a living mirror.

It would probably take another three to five days to fully adapt. Once adapted, the Mirror Demon would be able to levitate and follow Qin Muye around.

For now, it couldn’t release Mirror Golden Light because it was too weak, but the two techniques, Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster and Blessing Continues, were already in effect. After all, they were passive and not acting on the Mirror Demon’s body, hence they had fewer restrictions.

If it had been a Spirit Realm Body, it would be unable to use them just like Mirror Golden Light.

Although Mirror Demons differ from common flying and walking creatures like other Spiritual Beasts, they must also adhere to the law of energy conservation. They can’t simply be immensely powerful at birth. Mirror Demons aren’t a superior species among Spiritual Beasts; they’re merely average.

The most distinctive feature is the Spirit Mirror Body, which is considered a fairly powerful ability within Mid Rank Spiritual Beast Techniques. However, since only Mirror Demons possess it and because the quality of a mirror isn’t as good as metal, it hasn’t reached High Rank.

As for the Innate Spiritual Beast Technique known as Mirror Golden Light, it’s actually an Initial Rank Spiritual Beast Technique. It’s basically the Mirror Demon’s normal Skill, with damage that is indeed at the top of the Initial Rank, but it’s a bit embarrassing how much Mana it consumes when used.

After forming a contract with the Mirror Demon, Qin Muye could also use it to practice, converting Spiritual Energy into Mana.

That’s right, the Mana required for a Spiritual Beast to release Spiritual Beast Techniques is transferred from the Spirit Master, and the contract provides the pathway.

However, there are benefits as well. The growth of the Spiritual Beast provides feedback to the strength of the Spirit Master, meaning the stronger the Spiritual Beast becomes, the stronger the Spirit Master becomes, too.

Even multiple Spiritual Beasts can provide cumulative feedback, although the resources required to cultivate them would also increase.

Even a Spirit Emperor has only four Spiritual Beasts.

To speak of forming contracts without cultivation, attempting quantity over quality, is actually a major pitfall. One hundred percent of Level 100 Attributes is worlds apart from one percent at Level 1. More importantly, nurturing so many Low Level Spiritual Beasts is unmanageable. A careless loss of a Spiritual Beast can even result in a Rebound. Besides, if quantity was key, a Spirit Emperor couldn’t possibly dominate the world.

A single Spiritual Beast under the command of a Spirit Emperor could, with just its emitted presence, eradicate countless Low Level Spiritual Beasts.

"The evolution of the Mirror Immortal requires both Karma Dao and Luck Dao to be complete. All we need is to reach Heaven Rank proficiency, but it still requires a supplement from Universe Dao Spiritual Beast Technique."

"In addition, it also has to master Iron Will and Soul Ascension, two Spiritual Beast Techniques."

These two Techniques have a wide range of uses. Most powerful Evolution Secret Techniques involve them. The former ensures that the Spiritual Beast doesn’t collapse into madness due to pain during evolution, while the latter is an essential skill for harmonizing various types of Power, smoothing the evolution process.

Luckily, Qin Muye possesses these two Spiritual Beast Techniques, though raising their proficiency levels is challenging. They both require Heaven Rank proficiency, which means maximum Level, and since he’s not the original body, he can’t just use Experience Medicine to increase it.

Therefore, he must rely on luck. He possesses the luck-based abilities Unparalleled Luck and Main Character Aura, while the Mirror Demon possesses the abilities to attract fortune and Blessing Continues. Needless to say, in terms of luck, they’re definitely not lacking.

In the Spirit Realm, there are numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can increase the proficiency of a Spiritual Beast’s Techniques.

More importantly, this is a part of their quest for growth, allowing the Spirit Master to fully harmonize with himself. In this way, once the Mirror Demon evolves into the Mirror Immortal, it can ascend to Level 9 through the blessings of the forces of heaven and earth, rather than stagnating at Level 8 like most Spiritual Beasts.

Others have simply not realized that for a Spirit Emperor to become a Level 9 Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, it’s not about arduous cultivation, but fate.

The Spirit Emperor is the representative of the Spirit Realm’s destiny. To put it in other words, he belongs to the protagonist of the previous generation, because his destiny disappeared after he reached Level 9.

As for the emergence of a new protagonist, Qin Muye is not certain, but the Main Character Aura he possesses is meant to pretend he has that destiny, using it to receive support from the Spirit Realm.

Collecting treasures and seizing opportunities naturally disperses luck. While it might be considered unethical, Qin Muye shamelessly declares that Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures belong to the virtuous. If anyone is capable, they should try to intercept his opportunities.

"Alright, it’s time to figure out how to gather resources for you," Qin Muye looked at the mirror in his hand with some helplessness. The Mirror Demon was still rather naive, having just been born, relying instinctively on the contract to form a dependency on Qin Muye. It seemed as though it couldn’t quite understand what Qin Muye was saying.

He casually tucked the Mirror Demon into his embrace and then pondered his next move.

The Mirror Demon had taken shape, but in essence, it was still the form of the Eight Trigrams Mirror, palm-sized and certainly no problem to carry in his embrace. Besides, it had formed from a mirror and wasn’t exceedingly active like other Spiritual Beasts. It preferred serenity, which Qin Muye appreciated greatly.

He didn’t like those that were loud and clamorous.
