Chapter 316: Divine Art · Thunder Tide Rush
In the sect, outside the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Ritz did not leave. He looked at the sky and waited anxiously.
At this moment, the surrounding space rippled as Qin Chuan stepped out.
Ritz’s eyes lit up, and he immediately walked forward. “Sect Master!”
Qin Chuan nodded.
Ritz asked anxiously, “Sect Master, what about the Beast Taming Corps?”
Qin Chuan took out the Heaven Devouring Bottle and patted it, smiling, “they’re all inside here.”
Ritz frowned, confused. “Aren’t we going to kill them?”
Qin Chuan smiled, “Now is not the time yet.
“If I were to kill them now, then the higher-ups of the Beast Taming Corps behind them will definitely make a move.
“If they send an even stronger team over, then even I would be helpless.
“After all, we’re still too weak to fight against them. We still need to grow.”
When he said that, Ritz instantly understood.
“Sect Master, I will definitely cultivate harder. I will strive to share the burden as soon as possible and protect more people.”
When he looked at Ritz’s sincere gaze, Qin Chuan felt very gratified.
“You’re already great.
“This is a thunder-type divine art. It’s not very high-level. Take it and cultivate!”
Just moments ago, Qin Chuan had exchanged for a divine art called Thunder Tide Rush from the Merchant Shop.
Thunder Tide Rush was not an offensive divine art but a support type.
After activating Thunder Tide Rush, the user can cast thunder-attribute spells without any restrictions for a certain period. There would be no cooldown or consumption, and the user could use them to his heart’s content.
In addition, the spells cast would increase by one to five times.
That was impressive.
Ritz was initially embarrassed to accept the divine art, but after Qin Chuan shared the effects with him, he became tempted.
Qin Chuan shook the jade slip that contained the divine art and said, “Stop wasting time, take it!”
“Thank you, Sect Master!” Ritz hesitated for a moment before immediately taking it.
“Sect Master, I will definitely cultivate diligently,” Ritz said loudly with a firm voice.
Qin Chuan nodded. “Go!”
“I will take his leave.” Ritz bowed, then immediately ran to the training hall to cultivate.
After Ritz left, Qin Chuan glanced at the Heaven Devouring Bottle before pulling Bata out.
Bata looked confused.
“…”
“Don’t be surprised!” Qin Chuan’s lips curled into a kind smile, his white teeth gleaming with a cold light.
In the next second, Bata’s eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth fell open.
A semi-translucent object emerged from his mouth.
This was Bata’s soul.
“Immortal Cultivator Sir, Sir…” Bata shouted loudly, looking very panicked.
He didn’t know what Qin Chuan would do next, but he was sure that it wouldn’t be anything good.
Qin Chuan smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Don’t be too nervous.”
Bata panicked even more.
Just as he was about to say something, Qin Chuan’s hand suddenly covered his head.
Bata felt his vision go dark, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Qin Chuan used the Soul Searching Spell on Bata and read his memories.
Bata knew much more about the Beast Taming Corps than Aatrox did.
After reading through these memories, Qin Chuan gained a new understanding of the Beast Taming Corps.
At this moment, Bata’s soul became particularly transparent and thin, like the wisps of smoke from puffing a cigarette.
If it weren’t for Qin Chuan’s Dharmic powers sustaining it, Bata’s soul would have been gone by now.
Qin Chuan took out a magical artifact for storing souls and placed Bata’s soul inside.
Then, Qin Chuan summoned his primordial spirit and used the spirit splitting skill to create a new primordial spirit.
The new primordial spirit quickly occupied Bata’s body, gaining absolute authority.
This way, Qin Chuan would have a doppelganger.
Qin Chuan had his own reasons for doing this.
He and his doppelganger left the sect and arrived in outer space.
Qin Chuan spoke to his doppelganger, “You may begin.”
“Mm!” The doppelganger nodded.
After taking a few deep breaths, the doppelganger took out a circular device. After operating it for a while, he began to wait.
Time slowly passed.
After some time, the screen flashed, and a holographic projection appeared.
This holographic projection was their leader.
Isaac stared at the doppelganger with the gaze of a superior.
Presently Qin Chuan, who had hidden, was nervous, afraid that the other party would discover something.
Fortunately, the doppelganger performed well and did not reveal anything suspicious.
Isaac reprimanded, “Bata, didn’t I tell you not to contact me unless necessary?”
The doppelganger responded in Bata’s usual tone. “We’ve found something, Chief. I think it’s pretty important.”
“What discovery?” Isaac’s expression changed slightly.
“Chief, we discovered that there is an immortal cultivation civilization on this planet.”
“Cultivation?” Isaac’s expression instantly turned solemn.
The doppelganger continued, “Chief, there are immortal cultivation civilizations here, but they are not very advanced.
“I arranged for the Void Beasts to go over. After observing them for many days, I discovered that the cultivators on this planet are generally very weak.
“I alone can easily destroy them all.
“Do you think we…”
Isaac’s tension eased at that.
This was undoubtedly good news for him.
Isaac pondered for a moment and then said, “Bata, where are you now?”
“We hid well at the edge of the galaxy where this planet is located. From the information that the Void Beasts sent back, the people on the planet shouldn’t have discovered us yet.”
Isaac said, “Bata, don’t be in a hurry to attack. Stay where you are and continue observing.
“There is an immortal cultivation civilization there. You must not underestimate them and let your guard down.”
“Yes!” the doppelganger replied.
Isaac continued, “Immortal Cultivators are very good at hiding their actual strength.
“What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg.
“Think about it carefully. This is a barren area, and cultivators are particularly strict about the environment.
“Without a place suitable for cultivation, there shouldn’t even be a cultivation civilization!
“I’m guessing that this planet is most likely related to the immortal realm. Then the nature of things would be different.”
When Qin Chuan heard this, he couldn’t help but chuckle deep down, as if he had succeeded in his scheme.
According to Bata’s memories, Isaac was a shrewd man who would think twice before dealing with problems.
To put it nicely, he was very cautious.
To put it badly, he complicated everything.
There were pros and cons to this.
Qin Chuan would make use of Isaac’s personality traits in his favor.
Because Qin Chuan’s side was too weak, it would be very difficult for them to increase their strength in a short period of time. They had to fool the outside world into thinking that they had some powerful figure backing them so they could avoid some trouble.
Although Qin Chuan had six senior brothers and sisters at the Immortal Emperor level, from their conversation that day, it was clear that they would not help him.
Qin Chuan didn’t blame them.
If even he could not resolve this matter, then they would look down upon him. It would also be embarrassing Elder Raven.
Right now, Qin Chuan could still control the situation.
As long as his cultivators developed steadily, the rest would be easy.
Before long, the doppelganger ended the conversation with Isaac.
