The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Chapter 16: Consequences

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The death of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor was inevitable since Minghe had exerted all his strength. With Blood River Formation, he could even reach the realm of Sage-to-be. Paired with Law of Killing and Law of Spiritual Beings, killing a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was a breeze. Even though his rival possessed Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, he did not have enough cultivation to use a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

After his death, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and Ruler of Heaven and Earth lost their owner and tried to fly away. Unfortunately, the Blood Sea was closed, so they had no way to go but became Minghe’s assets.

Minghe was elated to get the two Primordial Supreme Treasures because few owned such treasures in Untainted Land. Hence, he was far ahead of others simply by collecting four Spiritual Treasures in this trip.

But he was not delighted even after killing Heaven and Earth Ancestor. It was impossible that his sacrifice of millions of Clones of Blood God to exert Blood River Formation would go unnoticed. He recalled all his Blood God Doppelgangers and Clones of Blood God to protect the sea, just in case.

Blood Sea was Minghe’s base. He could not allow anything to happen to it. He was wary of even the slightest possibility that someone might keep their eye on his sea. This was Untainted Land; anyone could die here. As the master of Blood Sea, Minghe had seen too many deaths because the sea expanded every single day. It had more than doubled since he first got here.

...

Minghe’s guess was right on the mark. The sacrifice of the Clones of Blood God and the abnormal fluctuation of Blood Sea aroused attention from various parties. The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin also suspended their war because of this.

Few could cause such chaos in Untainted Land. But even the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin that ruled the land failed to track who was behind it. It frightened them. After an investigation, they learned that the force left in the scene was similar to that of Nether Blood Sea. Was there something going on there?

Nether Blood Sea was a forbidden land that no one could make out of alive. It would be a catastrophe if the sea became unstable and flooded Untainted Land. Hence, the tribes stopped their war and started investigating.

However, everyone who went there failed to return. Many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals also died. The three tribes had no choice, but to give up the investigation and bid their time. Luckily for them, Blood Sea reverted to its usual state after tens of years. The Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land were relieved.

···

At Mount Yujing, Hongjun was predicting the Way of Separation and Rectification while holding onto Jade Butterfly of Fate. Cloud of Blessings rolled above him. He had finished Good Separation and Evil Separation, bringing himself closer to the Sage-to-be Peak Level. After completing Separation of Obsession, the three separations could be combined. Fusing with Hong Meng Immortal Qi, he could become the Sage of the Heavenly Way.

Hongjun was naturally aware of all the chaos, but had no clue who was behind it. Cultivation Tribulation had begun and heaven’s mystery was in chaos. Evil Spirit in Untainted Land had gotten denser. Hongjun sighed and said, "Alas! Who on earth caused such chaos and slowed the speed of Cultivation Tribulation? Well, it gives me more time to cultivate. If I don’t become a sage, I’m nothing!"

···

Hongjun was of course pleased to see such a situation because he had only completed Good Separation and Evil Separation. He needed more time to complete the more difficult Separation of Obsession. What Minghe did was to stop the war among the three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin and slow the spawning of evil spirits. It would be hundreds of years before the next war and the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land were given a chance to rehabilitate.

Where someone was happy, someone else was naturally furious. In the Demon Tribe Mountains, Luo Hou exploded in anger. "Damn it! Who’s the one behind this? Why the strange phenomenon in Blood Sea? My plan has been put on hold since the three tribes war stopped. Have you all found out why?"

Looking at the indignant Luo Hou, Flame Demon trembled with fear. Ever since Luo Hou’s cultivation realm increased, even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were terrified to be in his presence. Flame Demon answered, "My Lord, I’ve sent our people to investigate in Blood Sea, but no one returned. Not even Shadow Fiend."

Luo Hou got angry and shouted: "What? The Shadow Fiend died too? What was wrong with the Blood Sea or had anyone done this on purpose? If it was not for the fact I was in a crucial stage of cultivation, I had to take a look by myself to find out what was going on there." Luo Hou reached the Late Stage of Sage-to-be, same as Hongjun, but what he cultivated was The Divine Law of Demons. In the end, The Way of Great Way would be the same.

Flame Demon replied, "My Lord, what should we do next? Do we wait for our chance to act or...?" Luo Hou sneered and said, "Wait? They’re just daydreaming if they want to rest now. Order the people we placed in the three tribes to act and bring them back to war. Only in this way can I... Humph!"

···

Minghe was quite clear about what was going on outside and killed everyone who tried to enter Blood Sea for investigation, even the people from Demon Tribe sent by Luo Hou. He was not relieved until the consequences of the incident gradually faded.

This irrational act had exposed Blood Sea to the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land. Luckily, Minghe’s existence was still unknown. This could be considered the best result. With time, memories of this incident would fade. After all, the most important event at the moment was the war among the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin. Not even Luo Hou had the time to care about Blood Sea.

However, Minghe had no regrets. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. So it was worthwhile taking risks to obtain treasures like Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. Even if he was really noticed, he could protect himself through Blood Sea. The fact that nobody could kill Minghe except the Sage was enough to boost his confidence.

Cauldron of Heaven and Earth made it easier to cultivate weapons and medicines. What was crazier was that he even cultivated his own body, though the speed was slower than a Original Spirit cultivation. What Minghe wanted was the simultaneous cultivation of both his body and Original Spirit. In recent years, the speed of his body cultivation had fallen far behind his Original Spirit cultivation.

With Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Minghe could cultivate his body directly through the fusion of Veridical Fire and Purpleheaven Thunder. The speed was improved greatly and his body cultivation had caught up with his Original Spirit cultivation in a short hundred years, reaching the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. This meant he could fight against a top Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal simply with his body.

In addition, his Divine Law cultivation had reached a bottleneck. He made no further progress after receiving 20% enlightenment of Law of Killing and Law of Spiritual Beings. The Sage-to-be Realm was only one step away from him, but he always failed to get there. It depressed him a lot.

Minghe knew that the cultivation could not be rushed, so he halted the cultivation and turned into the study of medicines, weapons, and formations. The Way of Great Way could be achieved in numerous ways. Sometimes the inspiration was crucial for cultivation and Minghe needed to review what he got in recent years to make further progress.

After studying Divine Law, Minghe found that the greatest truths were the simplest. The tactical methods, formations, and magic skills he had previously predicted before were all too flashy. It was the result of the influence martial art stories had on him. However, they were all useless. Take Pangu for example. He could destroy anyone with raw strength, no matter what methods or formations his opponents used. That was true power.
