Chapter 298: Tomorrow Society’s Seventh Seat · Qi Lian
Yun Ye tried to pinpoint the location of the Tomorrow Society member hiding within the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
However, the logic of the Halo Book had changed, and he could not make an accurate location. He could only find the source area of the information through the Nine Lives Spirit Law.
That was the Dao System ranked last among the Twelve Systems, known as the Curse Dao System.
This system took an unconventional path, achieving the Mystic Realm through curses. Although it ranked the lowest, its power and training difficulty were daunting.
Curses could, to some extent, cross power levels to harm others. Without protective measures, even strong opponents could fall victim, making it very difficult to defend against.
Yet, the cultivation of curses was extremely challenging, requiring high resources; thus, there were not many people in this Dao System, leading to a weak presence.
It made sense for Tomorrow Society’s members to hide in the Curse Dao System, as this system was particularly adept at gathering intelligence, making espionage more effective.
Also, due to its focus on intelligence, the Curse Dao System may have voluntarily learned about Tomorrow Society, and once they learned, there was a chance they could be swayed.
The probability was at least higher than in other Dao Systems.
After deducing further, Yun Ye discovered that the Curse Dao System had a powerful barrier for isolation, prompting him to give up decisively.
With the current Nine Lives Spirit Law purely relying on the Nine Lives Classic, attempting to break through the Mystic Realm barrier would definitely lead to detection, resulting in disastrous consequences.
Not wanting to involve the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, Yun Ye changed direction and began to deduce another target—
Tomorrow Society!
Based on the spirit waves, he continually deduced and narrowed down the range, and indeed found the source.
It was a Halo Fire artifact placed atop a high mountain.
This artifact was very small, resembling an ordinary stone, and was inconspicuous. Since it was a magical artifact, this device could operate on its own, emitting and receiving Halo Fire.
In terms of fluctuations, the Halo Fire artifact was merely at the Mortal Realm level and would be virtually undetectable in the intensely spirit energy-rich environment of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Unsurprisingly, this was set up by Tomorrow Society.
Yun Ye found over a hundred of these artifacts spread throughout the entire Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
As he searched outward, he discovered that these devices were densely distributed across the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, forming roughly three lines of spirit energy connections to the outside world.
Tomorrow Society had developed for nearly twenty years, so creating as many magical artifacts as they desired and saturating the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh was feasible. However, many areas of the marsh were extremely dangerous and corrosive, and randomly tossing a magical artifact in would certainly lead to it being corroded within minutes.
Given this situation, Tomorrow Society only constructed three lines of spirit energy connections as a risk consideration.
The Halo Fire artifacts needed occasional maintenance; the more lines there were, the greater the chance of detection.
Next, Yun Ye continued his deductions, hoping to directly locate the headquarters of Tomorrow Society.
The result, of course, was fruitless.
When setting up these lines, Tomorrow Society must have also considered contingencies for being discovered. As soon as Yun Ye left the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, he immediately became like a headless fly; either the Spirit Law was blocked, or the causal lines were severed, rendering his deductions invalid.
Ultimately, Spirit Law was just an extension of Spirit Sense, requiring sufficient information and logic for calculations to reach results.
Without understanding the underlying patterns, forcibly deducing would yield poor results, even with the Nine Lives Spirit Law.
Only upon reaching the Mystic Realm, stepping into the conceptual level and truly perceiving the power of causal lines at this rule level, could the efficacy of Spirit Law deductions approach ‘reality.’ To evade the inspection of these Spirit Law powerful figures, one would have to sever causal lines through this abstract method of interruption.
If the assassination of Che Yue succeeded, it would surely attract Lan Wuyin’s attention. With Lan Wuyin’s skill in Spirit Law, if he found the Halo Fire artifact like Yun Ye did, tracking along the causal line would almost certainly lead to the discovery of Tomorrow Society.
“Is it possible for Lan Wuyin to discover the Halo Fire artifact?”
“……”
Yun Ye fell into silence; he did not dare to take a gamble, so he activated the Halo Fire to send a message to Tomorrow Society directly.
“Immediately abandon the assassination of Che Yue. The Qushuang Dao System possesses Spirit Laws derived from the classics, and if you continue, you will be discovered.”
“At the same time, the war is about to begin.”
……
“Chief, we have detected unregistered personnel through the light communication. According to reverse positioning, they are located within the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh and the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, likely a member of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect! The information they sent is as follows—how should we decide?”
“What is the result of the True Heaven Instrument’s deductions?”
“The fate has become completely chaotic, and we cannot deduce anything. The chance of a large-scale war is already at ninety percent! Only right before the war, when the Spirit Law practitioners of both sects interfered, could this situation arise.”
“Now I understand.”
The man with wheat-colored skin turned around, “Then abandon the assassination plan for Che Yue. Let’s ignite the internal conflicts of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, there’s no time to waste. Immediately notify everyone to shrink the area of activity; we need to be more cautious moving forward.”
“Yes, Chief!”
The liaison left.
The man with wheat-colored skin rubbed his forehead, and his fingers slid, causing a projection to appear in the room.
A woman in a white coat, always experimenting, appeared.
“Qi Lian from the Seventh Seat, don’t you need to rest?”
“What does it matter? A law realm cultivator can go years without rest and not affect their state. If anything, my spirit is getting better and better.”
Qi Lian crossed her legs and sat down, “What’s the matter, Chief Tian? Do you need something from me again?”
“The large-scale war is about to begin; we must temporarily halt the assassination plan for Che Yue,” Tian Jing said.
“Fine, I don’t mind. Halting is halting. I’m not very interested in the Qushuang Dao System anymore,” Qi Lian replied casually.
Although she was a Spirit Law practitioner and did not belong to the Qushuang Dao System, she was aware of the reputation of the Powerful Figure Qushuang.
She had little interaction with the Qushuang Dao System but always sensed some peculiar things that caught her attention.
Later, she chose to leave the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect due to her weakness, temporarily forgetting about the Qushuang Dao System.
This assassination was a deliberate test; she was confident that Lan Wuyin would go crazy over it, causing internal chaos within the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
However, if Tomorrow Society decided to abandon it, then so be it. After encountering Tomorrow Society’s unique way of observing the world, she had no time to explore existing matters, let alone those old issues.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave; I’m busy with my research and have reached a crucial point.”
“Seventh Seat, do you not need assistance?”
“If you think that assistance from the spiritual realm is better than Spirit Sense.”
“……In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Tian Jing shook his head, and the projection vanished.
Qi Lian yawned and continued her research. Her laboratory appeared small, but it was expanded by spatial formations, containing vast invisible space. She casually reached out, and an ordinary demon appeared before her.
Then, she conjured many threads and inserted them into the demon’s body. At first, the demon roared and struggled, but once the threads wrapped around it, its consciousness was instantly shattered. Following that, Qi Lian flicked the threads, and a large amount of white, frost-like substance was extracted, gathering in her palm.
“Is the nature of an ordinary demon’s power based on this principle?”
“Interesting…”
