Chapter 360: New World
There was a great quite valley, surrounded by high hills, with trees growing exuberantly. Countless precious Spiritual Medicine grew on the hills and in the valley. Dozens of bulky monsters wandered around leisurely, roaring from time to time. Sometimes, they fought fiercely with each other, causing the earth to tremble and mountains to sway. As a result, countless precious Spiritual Medicines were destroyed.
In the center of the valley was a stone table, which was covered with mosses and vines. It was conceivable that the stone table had not been used in a long time. Some strange patterns mysteriously showed in the place not covered by mosses. At this very moment, the strange patterns began to give off a silver flame, penetrating through the mosses and vines, which was brilliant for a moment.
After the silver flame suddenly became strong and dispersed, the stone table returned to its former calm. However, another 10 figures suddenly appeared on the stone table. In face of these sudden visiting outsiders, Ominous Beasts of Chaos emitted roars of rage, filled with intent to kill, as if they were claiming that the place was their territory.
Naturally, the 10 men were Minghe’s party who just entered Battlefield of God and Demon. Minghe and the others glanced around and discovered that they were besieged by dozens of Ominous Beasts of Chaos. Their knitted brows made them look more solemn. The transmission of the beasts’ roars triggered a chain reaction among the nearby beasts.
At the sight of this, Minghe stretched out his hands and five flags immediately rotated in his palm. He gently threw them into the air, and the five flags were dancing in the wind. Then, a Taoist Seal formed in his hand. He reprimanded gently, "Five Elements revolve and cover all over the sky and earth." As the five flags flew to the periphery of the valley, a Primordial Five Elements Formation had been arranged in a flash.
With the establishment of Primordial Five Elements Formation, all roaring cries from the outside were heard no more. Only dozens of Ominous Beasts of Chaos remained in the valley. Although the beasts were few, dozens of them were in the Origin Realm. The strongest one was at Middle Stage of Origin. According to their appearance, it could be assumed that they were of the same species.
The Ominous Beasts of the Chaos immediately launched attacks against the intruders, including Minghe. Minghe did not intend to fight back but said, "My Fellow Taoists and disciples, you’re responsible for dealing with them. I still need to go over here." Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and others instantly fought with the numerous Ominous Beasts of Chaos.
Minghe carefully looked around the place. Being different from the Chaos, there was no Air of Chaos there. It was a small world, with the sun hanging in the ninth heaven. A special Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth. Simply by breathing, Minghe discovered that the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in the small world was very peculiar.
As Rakshasa, Minghe absorbed Air of Chaos for cultivation. The Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in Untainted Land was almost useless for him. However, that in the world was a little similar to primordial Spiritual Air. Moreover, it was more advanced, which was comparable with Air of Chaos. Unexpectedly, Minghe could absorb that in the world for practicing his Real Body of Mazinger.
The most amazing find was the stability of the world, namely the level of the world. Whether in Chaos or Untainted Land, Minghe’s Spiritual Thoughts was widespread, and he also could realize spatial displacement easily. Right now, he could not do so in the world.
His Spiritual Thoughts spread to less than tens of millions of miles. It was harder to open spatial channel, and its distance was short. After seeing the battle between Zhenyuanzi and others and Ominous Beasts of Chaos, Minghe was more convinced of his conjecture. The world of Battlefield of God and Demon was probably more advanced than Untainted Land. Naturally, they could not display their destructive strength.
Zhenyuanzi and others fought hard with Ominous Beasts of Chaos. Actually, their power of Taoist laws was constrained by the Divine Law of Battlefield of God and Demon, rather than they became weaker. The beasts also suffered the same situation, but they had got used to it in the world. Zhenyuanzi and others just arrived, they naturally suffered losses. When they were accustomed to it, they would become better.
Naturally, the best way to adapt to the environment was by fighting. Although it was time-consuming, it was beneficial to them. Compared with Zhenyuanzi and others, Liu Er had a wonderful time fighting. Like Minghe, Liu Er was based on the human body and supplemented by Original Spirit. Although the small world was suppressed by the power of Taoist laws, Liu Er was affected slightly, because his combat power mainly came from the human body.
Minghe made no attempts to interfere with them. It might take some time to cope with these Ominous Beasts of Chaos, but it was good for them to adapt as quick as possible. Although Minghe was also constrained by the world, he had such profound cultivation that the beasts were no match for him. If Minghe struck them, they would be killed in a snap.
Although all had reached the Realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin, the realm was classified into four stages, including Early Stage, Secondary Stage, Late Stage, and Peak. Unlike the Sage, there was a huge disparity in strength between two stages of the Realm of Origin. The Early Stage of the Sage could fight with the Secondary Stage of the Sage for a long time. However, the Realm of Origin was different. Each stage had an advantage over the previous one.
Afte destroying World of Five Elements, Minghe carried out Closed Door Meditation in the River between Heaven and Death for tens of thousands of years. As a result, his strength improved significantly, which was due to the Magical Tao Mirror. Its 10-fold comprehension amplification was amazing. Within tens of thousands of years, Minghe and Three Separations had made great progress in strength. Unfortunately, the Magical Tao Mirror only could be used by one person at a time. If Minghe could use it with Three Separations, his strength would be more terrifying.
Now, Minghe had changed a lot. The Immortal Demon Body had reached the Completion. Only by the human body, he could be matchless in comparison with experts at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin Realm. However, Original Spirit had reached the Peak of the Realm of Origin now. Having reached such a realm internally and externally, Minghe became stronger. More importantly, he had begun to comprehend the Realm of Fate Golden Immortal of Origin.
There was A half step to Origin above the Sage-to-be and below the Origin. Likewise, there was the Half Fate above the Peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin. Currently, Minghe was planning to reach this realm. As estimated by Minghe, Hongjun had got into the Half Fate Realm at least. Probably when he met Minghe in the Chaos, he had started to comprehend this realm.
However, it was hard to comprehend the Fate Realm. After getting into the Peak of the Origin, Minghe comprehended the realm for thousands of years. It was impossible to comprehend this realm only by scratching the surface. It would take a lot of time to really start to comprehend the realm. But with the help of the Magical Tao Mirror, he believed that he would be able to reach the Fate Realm. At that time, he could be comparable to the Way of Heaven in Untainted Land.
Minghe’s Three Separations also made great progress. "Evil Separation" Red Lotus Taoist and "Selfcentric Separation" Musen had reached the Late Stage of Origin. By comparison, Musen only practiced Martial Arts, and his cultivation was more profound than Red Lotus Taoist. Red Lotus Taoist comprehended the Principle of Karma and the Law of Killing at the same time. Thus, their combat powers were well-matched.
Since he devoured World of Five Elements, "Three Separations" Heaven and Earth Taoist had always been at Closed Door Meditation. He had not yet woken up until now. As the World of Heaven and Earth inside his body grew rapidly, his strength also rose suddenly and sharply. After the Way of Heaven of World of Five Elements and the Origin integrated into the World of Heaven and Earth, the World of Heaven and Earth became more sound and solid. Heaven and Earth Taoist also needed a lot of time to stabilize his own cultivation.
Among Zhenyuanzi, Liu Er, and the others, only Liu Er had got into Middle Stage of Origin, owing to his strong True Body of Rakshasa. But for the cultivation of Original Spirit, he only reached Early Stage of the Origin. Compared with practicing outside Battlefield of God and Demon, they would make progress several times faster there, even if they had no Fated Chance.
In Battlefield of God and Demon, there was intense and special Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, it would be smoother to comprehend the Divine Law here. Minghe could clearly discern the Vital Force of the Divine Law drifting in the small world. The vital force was highly beneficial to comprehend the Divine Law. It was thus clear that the Way of Heaven in this world was stronger than that in Untainted Land.
Strangely, Minghe did not discern the vital force of any Way of Heaven after comprehension for a while. He doubted if the Way of Heaven in the world was too strong. Couldn’t those between Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin perceive the Way of Heaven? No. For living beings of Untainted Land, if an individual reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, he could sense a little vital force of the Way of Heaven.
"Could it be... " Minghe suddenly raised his head. He had a wild assumption that if there was no Way of Heaven in the world, who would be in charge of the Great Way. At thought of this, he was startled by the world of fantasy under the control of the Great Way. It was more dangerous than what he expected.
Surely, it was only Minghe’s conjecture, so it was hard to confirm. At least, Minghe must get into the Fate Realm, which could not be realized overnight. His top priority was to understand the world as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in Battlefield of God and Demon. In doing so, he could plot to seek the Fated Chance called by the Great Way in Battlefield of God and Demon.
At present, the valley they located was splendid. It was large with various precious Spiritual Medicine growing there. As Zhenyuanzi’s party came here, he brought along many disciples and tribesmen. Even Liu Er’s party also brought Chixuan, Yaoji, Yang Chan, Nezha, and Sun Wukong. Blood Sea in Untainted Land and The Nether World were managed by Minghe’s Clones of Blood God, so there would be no problem.
The resources in the valley were enough for those who had not actualized the Origin. Moreover, it could yield twice the result with half the effort to practice in Battlefield of God and Demon. It would be easier to actualize Way of Origin there than in Untainted Land. Outside the valley was continuous mountains, in which the resources would probably be countless. They had taken root there since ancient times.
