The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 157 The Illusion Master (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)
Yunzhou, Prince Liang's Palace.

Inside the underground palace, Qin Changge shook his head with a solemn expression and said, "This was far too careless."

It should be noted that Qin Changge was actually caught in the illusion cast by the Samsara Mirror this time, and was fighting against thin air, which is an extremely serious matter.

If the Samsara Mirror hadn't escaped, but instead had taken the opportunity to rip out Qin Changge's heart, then Qin Changge would have been in serious danger.

In this way, Qin Changge finally realized that the strength he had carefully and painstakingly built up was actually so vulnerable.

"Illusion?" Qin Changge pondered to himself.

Qin Changge originally wanted to accumulate some witness points to improve his weapon refining skills, but now it seems that he still needs to improve his illusion skills first.

After all, compared to the offensive capabilities of weapon crafting, the ability of illusion magic to defend against illusion magic and save one's life is obviously more important.

"Alright, then let's upgrade the illusion magic."

Thinking of this, Qin Changge opened his system panel and added all 700 witness points to illusion. Instantly, he became an illusion master.

[Name: Qin Changge]

【Age: 19】

[Realm: First Grade (Immortal)]

【Talent: Lightning Martial Soul】

[Cultivation Techniques: Martial Emperor's Divine Scripture (Perfected), Heavenly Thunder Battle Technique (Perfected)]

[Skills: Divination (Tier 9, 100%), Talisman Making (Tier 9, 100%), Alchemy (Tier 9, 100%), Illusion (Tier 8, 0%)]

Witness Points: 8

At this moment, Qin Changge realized that his illusionary abilities far surpassed those of the Samsara Mirror.

"I was fooled by such a clumsy illusion. I'm so terrible."

Qin Changge couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

However, his illusion skills have improved now, so if he encounters the Mirror of Reincarnation again, he will no longer be fooled.

……

Inside the imperial study of the Qin Dynasty's palace, Emperor Qin Changqing of the Great Xing Dynasty was discussing important matters with his many brothers.

Qin Chang'an said to Emperor Qin Changqing of Daxing, "I have killed the Black-tailed Fox, but the Reincarnation Mirror still escaped."

Upon hearing this, many of the brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but also frowned.

After all, the Samsara Mirror is the true body, and the Mysterious Fox is at best a puppet.

Emperor Qin Changqing of Daxing said, "Fourth brother, tell me exactly how you did it, so that I will have a way to deal with it if I encounter a similar situation in the future."

Many of the brothers looked at Qin Chang'an, since they didn't know how Qin Chang'an had killed the Xuanwei Fox.

Qin Chang'an said, "I asked my sixth brother to help me separate the Xuanwei Fox from the Samsara Mirror. Without the Samsara Mirror, the Xuanwei Fox was just a demon with a high cultivation level but no combat power, and I killed it with a wave of my hand. Afterwards, I rushed to meet up with my sixth brother, hoping that the two of us could join forces to take down the Samsara Mirror, but unfortunately my sixth brother had already fallen under the illusion of the Samsara Mirror, and the Samsara Mirror was nowhere to be found."

These words left many of the brothers stunned.

"He can even use illusion magic?" Qin Changle frowned deeply.

Many of the brothers also hesitated, as the power of this Samsara Mirror was far too strong.

Emperor Qin Changqing of Daxing analyzed, "They only put Sixth Brother under an illusion, but didn't take the opportunity to kill him. Is it because the Mirror of Reincarnation had no ill intentions, or because it couldn't do it?" Qin Chang'an nodded and said, "It probably couldn't do it, after all, Sixth Brother is very strong. Letting Sixth Brother get into trouble and then escape, the Mirror of Reincarnation probably thought this was the best way to handle it."

Emperor Qin Changqing of Daxing continued, "If that's the case, then this can be considered good news. Although the Mirror of Reincarnation is powerful, its abilities are not actually invincible."

“That’s right.” Qin Chang’an nodded. “We need to think of a way now, either to take down the Samsara Mirror, or to seal or destroy it.”

Qin Changle said, "Isn't it too wasteful to just destroy one of the twenty supreme treasures of the Upper Realm like this?"

Qin Changqing said, "If it cannot be used by us and instead threatens us, what is the loss in destroying it?"

Qin Changle nodded, which seemed to make sense.

Qin Changfeng said, "Taking down the Samsara Mirror is easier said than done. Its most powerful ability isn't its sense of danger or its ability to advance through killing, but its spatial teleportation. If we can't defeat it, it can run away at any time. How can we possibly catch it?"

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment, as this was indeed the biggest problem they faced.

……

Emperor Qin Changqing of the Great Xing Dynasty said, "I have some thoughts on this matter. However, before that, Fourth Brother, you need to answer a few questions for me."

Qin Chang'an nodded and said, "Second Brother, please speak freely."

Qin Changqing nodded and said, "Alright, then let me ask you, was your domain created after you broke through to the first rank?"

Qin Chang'an shook his head and said, "I gradually came to understand it after breaking through to the first rank."

Qin Changqing nodded and said, "If I am not mistaken, the domain that appears after breaking through to the first grade is not the power of the first grade, but the power of the super grade, or even the power that surpasses the super grade."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chang'an nodded and said, "I also have this feeling. Domains have a great suppressive effect on first-grade cultivators."

Qin Changle asked, "What does this have to do with capturing the Samsara Mirror?"

Qin Changqing said, "The problem is that such a powerful domain still allowed the Samsara Mirror to escape, which means that all methods of trapping the Samsara Mirror can be discarded."

Upon hearing this, all the brothers were stunned.

Qin Changle said, "So that means you're not going to arrest them and just let them go?"

Qin Changqing shook his head and said, "It's just abandoning the method of trapping the Samsara Mirror, not abandoning the capture."

Upon hearing this, many of the brothers were still somewhat confused.

"The Mirror of Reincarnation is ultimately just a treasure; it needs to reside within a host. Its possession of the Black-Tailed Fox, which triggered the chaos among the demon race, is the best example of this."

Qin Changqing said, "Therefore, we can conclude that if the Samsara Mirror wants to unleash its full power, it must have a host."

Qin Changle, Qin Changfeng, and the others nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Therefore, we don't need to worry too much about the Mirror of Reincarnation."

Qin Changqing said, "As long as the Reincarnation Mirror possesses a host and kills it, all the previous efforts of the Reincarnation Mirror will be in vain. If it wants to continue to break through to the Super Grade and leave the Tianqian Continent, it will have to find a new host."

"In this way, we don't need to worry about the Reincarnation Mirror causing too much damage. Of course, this method has its drawbacks; we have to keep tracking the Reincarnation Mirror at all times, which can be quite exhausting. However, we have a large number of people, so there's no need to worry."

Qin Changle raised his hand and said, "Since the Mirror of Reincarnation wants to leave, why should we kill it? Wouldn't it be better to just let it go?"

Qin Changqing said, "We can't be sure if the Mirror of Reincarnation truly wants to leave. If its claim of wanting to leave is just a lie, then we're in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qin Changle realized that he had been too naive to have so easily believed the enemy's words.

Qin Changqing concluded, "We must make the Mirror of Reincarnation understand that we have the ability to disrupt its plans. In the end, it should negotiate with us and allow our people to become its hosts. This is the solution I envision."
