BXBX NOVEL Chapter 363: Discovery
After leaving that huge valley, Minghe tromped over Millions of Mountains. Countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos lived in those continuous mountains. The place was like a super beast nest. Fortunately, although there were many Ominous Beasts of Chaos, the continuous mountains were boundless. Thus, the Ominous Beasts of Chaos would not be too dense, which was one of the reasons why Minghe chose that place as his foothold.
Invisibly, Minghe sat cross-legged upon a cloud. He watched some Ominous Beasts of Chaos fly through from time to time and listened to that incessant beast roar throughout Millions of Mountains. He was a little worried about Liu Er and the others. In order to be able to survive in Millions of Mountains, they still had a long way to go. The dangers and hardships would be beyond their expectations.
However, since he had left, Minghe would not look back. Although it was reasonable that he should take care of his disciples including Liu Er and the others, they would not have a better future if he did so. Minghe hoped that they could become the powerhouses of indomitable spirit and they could tower over their competitors one day, even without him.
Flowing with the cloud, Minghe unconsciously arrived at a strange place. It was a special place recorded on his map. The Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth here was extremely powerful. Perhaps, some rare treasure had come into the world. Although he did not know what it was, Minghe would be unwilling to miss it since he had encountered it.
He dropped the cloud down and went to the mountaintop with the most volatile Spiritual Air. On the mountaintop, a scarlet flower fluttered with the wind. It inhaled and exhaled no slower than experts at the Early Stage of the Origin. Moreover, it was ever-accelerating. Obviously, the flower was going to be mature. Around the flower, countless Ominous Beast of Chaos had already cast their greedy eyes upon it.
The flower had not yet fully ripened, but the nearby Ominous Beasts of Chaos were already restless. They launched attacks against their surrounding competitors. When a winner was identified, the flower would naturally become the winner’s trophy. However, they never thought that Minghe was standing near the flower, waiting to benefit from their conflict.
Without taking notice of their fighting, Minghe became preoccupied with the unique flower. It was a one-foot-high scarlet flower with seven petals. During the blooming season, a fantastic herbal aroma was diffused in the air that was intoxicating. More striking was that not even a blade of grass grew and even rocks cracked within a 10-foot circumference around it.
Minghe looked at the flower carefully and immediately discovered its uniqueness. The flower grew based on the special Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. Moreover, it incessantly absorbed the scorching spiritual power from the sun above the Ninth Heaven. Therefore, within the 10-foot circumference around it, it was like a huge furnace that was extremely fervent.
Even with his current corporeal cultivation, Minghe could feel its heat energy. Thus, it was really extraordinary. When the flower was ripe, a current of even stronger hot air suddenly burst out. From afar, it looked like a flower growing inside a red blaze, which was extremely magical.
When the flower was in full bloom, all its heat energy began to gather in the crimson fruit that was just yielded by the flower. As the fruit became bigger and bigger, the precious flower slowly withered. All its essence and energy were supplied to the fruit. When the fruit ripened, all the Ominous Beasts of Chaos became even crazier.
When all the Ominous Beasts of Chaos scrambled for the red fruit, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air. A hand stretched out from inside and gently picked the red fruit. Then, the hand slowly retreated and the ripple disappeared as if nothing had happened. On the mountaintop, only dozens of Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the Origin remained, roaring into the air.
Above the clouds, Minghe looked at the red fruit in his hand with an intriguing expression. Frankly, even the Origin of Chaos could do little to improve his current body. However, Minghe had an instinct that the seemingly ordinary red fruit might be beneficial for his body.
There might be providence in the unseen world. Minghe believed in his own feelings. Even if it was useless, he would not be affected. Raising a hand, he directly placed the red fruit in his mouth. After swallowing, he clearly felt a surge of heat energy moving inside him, like a ball of fire inside his body.
Minghe felt pain, a long lost feeling. Having practiced the Immortal Demon Body for so long, he had not experienced pain in a very long time. But now, a small red fruit could make him ache. Although it was a faint pain, it was enough to demonstrate that the red fruit was totally different from the rest. However, it only lasted for a little while and then disappeared soon afterward. The total efficacy of the red fruit had been absorbed by Minghe’s body.
At this moment, Minghe smiled. His smile got even wilder when he looked at the boundless Battlefield of Gods and Demons. He thought that the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was worthy of its name. Even magic medicine in the periphery could greatly enhance his body. If he were to obtain a lot of the same type of magic medicine, his body would surely be further enhanced.
After completing absorption, Minghe started off once again. This time, he was more leisurely. Although his aim was the weird place where he could feel the familiar vital force, Minghe did not mind taking a detour to collect more priceless treasures, because many places with Mysterious Signs of Heaven and Earth were recorded on his map. Certainly, these treasures should at least have a Mysterious Sign of Heaven and Earth as much as the flower had.
Minghe walked and stopped all along the way. In doing so, he collected a lot of treasures, including Spiritual Medicine, Rare Stones, and Spiritual Roots. Several years later, he finally arrived at his destination. It was a strange mountain with bumps and hollows above, which seemed to be formed by a fight among Ominous Beasts of Chaos.
The familiar vital force that he felt also emanated from the inner part of the mountain. It looked like the conflicts among the Ominous Beasts of Chaos had damaged the body of the mountain and the forbidden formations inside it. As a result, the vital force of the objects inside had leaked out. According to the trail of devastation, it should have taken place in recent times, a few thousand years ago at most.
Having felt the familiar vital force pervading above the mountain, Minghe knitted his brows. He was naturally familiar with the vital force. In Untainted Land, all those men of ability knew very well that the object should be here. Moreover, he also discovered that the vital force sent forth by the object was somewhat weird, which made him even more confused.
Since he had come, Minghe wanted to check it out. The body of the mountain was damaged, and the forbidden formation inside also became fragmentary. If he wanted to, Minghe could go inside without difficulty. He carefully checked out the forbidden formation inside. Although the forbidden formation was fragmented, he could still be aware of some of the methods used by its designer.
Through careful analysis, Minghe sorted out the forbidden formation inside. The designer had reached the Peak of the Origin at least. From the mountain and the forbidden formation, he predicted that they had not been arranged recently. Instead, they should have been arranged ages ago. Minghe felt even more curious. He smiled without knowing why, especially after he had checked out the fragmentary forbidden formation.
Minghe lifted a finger and pointed it outward. Then, a channel immediately appeared in the forbidden formation in the body of the mountain. He took a step and walked inside. As his figure disappeared in the channel, the channel also vanished soon afterward. The forbidden formation restored its calm. More weirdly, the forbidden formation changed slightly after he had gone inside, which seemed to have been initiated.
After passing through the forbidden formation in the body of the mountain, Minghe arrived at a small world. The place had everything that one expected to find, including the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers. It looked like a land of idyllic beauty. Moreover, the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth here was denser than that in the outside world. It could be seen that the forbidden formation arranged in the body of the mountain could gather the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth.
The small world was not strange. Even with attractive scenery, it could not be compared to a small chiliocosm. And for a world as small as this, Minghe could find numerous ones without much trouble. To his surprise, this small world was full of strong Spiritual Air, but the air flew regularly and surrounded the center of the world, where the place of the valuable treasure for suppressing and supporting the world should be.
