Chapter 369: Breakthrough
From above the clouds of the World of Heaven and Earth, Minghe and Heaven and Earth Taoist looked down at the changes there and were both satisfied. As the World of Heaven and Earth was getting stronger and stronger, the stability of its Origin had become very important. Even though the Heavenly Court and the Book of the Nether World were Supreme Treasures, Minghe would not hesitate to sacrifice them if they could do good for the World of Heaven and Earth.
The Heavenly Court was formed by the Will of Heaven of Untainted Land in the Eighth Period. After Untainted Land was destroyed in the Eighth Period, Haotian seized the chance to steal a small part of the Will of Heaven and the Origin of Untainted Land. Therefore, it was really good for the Way of Heaven of the World of Heaven and Earth to grow after swallowing the Heavenly Court, but it still took some time to totally assimilate it.
Then, although there were not refined chaotic limits in the Book of the Nether World, it had turned into a Primordial Supreme Treasure of the highest grade, so its power naturally could not be ignored. Now, Heaven and Earth Taoist had revealed the Ancestor of Dragons, the leyline of the World of Heaven and Earth, to suppress the Earth of this world. With the growth of this world, the leyline would also grow. Though it did not reach the level of a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, its power could match with it.
Since the Heavenly Court and the Book of the Nether World had both been swallowed by the World of Heaven and Earth, Minghe and Heaven and Earth Taoist only had to wait for them to be totally assimilated. So, Minghe left the World of Heaven and Earth and went back to that small world, while Heaven and Earth Taoist returned to Minghe’s Three Flowers, continuing his cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged in the small world, Minghe also started his own cultivation. After billions of years’ accumulation, this small world had amassed abundant Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law, which was much richer than the outside world. It was naturally a perfect place to do Closed Door Meditation. Minghe would not leave until he had totally consumed it. At that time, this small world would be destroyed.
Minghe’s cultivation could be divided into two parts—human body practice and Original Spirit practice. Now, his Original Spirit had reached the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm. If he wanted to take a further step, he needed to comprehend the Fate Realm. With the abundant Air of the Divine Law in this world and the Magical Tao Mirror beside him, it was the right time for Minghe to comprehend the Fate Realm.
Led by Minghe, the endless Air of the Divine Law swarmed into Minghe’s body. Holding the Magical Tao Mirror in his hand, Minghe slowly infused the Origin of Chaos into the Magical Tao Mirror. He did not begrudge that Origin of Chaos. Nowadays, the Origin of Chaos was really abundant for Minghe. After all, the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was full of Ominous Beasts of Chaos. He could collect numerous Origins of Chaos if he made some effort.
Now, in order to break into the Half Step to the Fate Realm directly, Minghe sacrificed the Origin of Chaos to his Magical Tao Mirror without any hesitation. Actually, Minghe still had some comprehension of Haotian’s Fate Realm. Although they cultivated different Tao, Minghe could also be enlightened by the mystery of the Fate Realm and he had a 100% possibility to breakthrough to the Half Step to the Fate Realm.
When Minghe was comprehending the Fate Realm, he did not stop exercising his human body, insanely swallowing the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in this small world and pushing his human body to the Peak of the Immortal Demon Body. Minghe felt that his Immortal Demon Body would nearly reach the Fulfilment Realm and could match with the strong cultivators who were at the Half Step to the Fate Realm.
However, this was not what Minghe looked for. Rakshasa’s potential was very promising. Back then, many Rakshasas of the Three Pure Ones who had been killed by Great Divinity Pangu were at the Fate Realm. Since they could cultivate their human bodies to the Fate Realm, Minghe believed that he could also do it. Of course, Minghe needed to cultivate his Immortal Demon Body to the extreme.
Nowadays, Minghe’s Real Body of Rakshasa was an Immortal Demon Body, but he thought that he still had a lot of room for improvement. The immortal human body was not a representation that the Veridical Soul could not be destroyed. If Minghe’s Original Spirit or Veridical Soul were totally obliterated, he would become a non-thought puppet. Even if he could rebuild his soul, would he still be the original Minghe?
If he wanted to take a further step, he needed to blend his Veridical Soul into his human body to upgrade his body to be eternal. By then, even if his Original Spirit were to be obliterated, he could be reborn on the basis of his eternal human body. As for this realm, Minghe called it the Indestructible Demon Body, which meant that if his human body did not die, his Veridical Soul would not die either. That was real immortality.
However, Minghe needed to spend quite a long time to reach this step and totally blend the Veridical Soul into his human body. In fact, every piece of his Veridical Soul was a part of Minghe’s Original Spirit, so he needed to break his Original Spirit into countless pieces. Although every piece of Original Spirit was too small to care about, their total amount was really horrible.
It would take Minghe an extremely long time to promote his Real Body of the Mazinger from the Immortal Demon Body to the Indestructible Demon Body. First, Minghe’s Original Spirit needed to breakthrough to the Half Step to the Fate Realm. Although a cultivator with the Original Spirit at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm could also start to divide his Veridical Soul and blend them into his human body, if Minghe’s Original Spirit could breakthrough to the Half Step to the Fate Realm, its power would be multiplied. At that time, either the dividing speed or quantity would be much better.
However, dividing the Original Spirit was not a just petty thing. In fact, Original Spirit was the basis of a cultivator. One’s Original Spirit might become irreversibly damaged when his soul was excessively divided. Even if Minghe was skilled at the Law of Spiritual Beings, he did not dare to excessively divide his Original Spirit. When he reached his limit, he would stop to recover his Original Spirit. Otherwise, his Original Spirit might not get any further improvements even if he had the Indestructible Demon Body.
Though Rakshasa’s human body was the most important part, Original Spirit was also indispensable. After all, one could not totally comprehend the Great Way only on the basis of the human body. Therefore, Rakshasa’s Original Spirit needed to be as strong as his human body. Great Divinity Pangu’s blood linkages had been transformed into the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, while his Original Spirit turned into the Three Pure Ones, each of whom had dominated an area of Untainted Land.
Thousands of years later, the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law had become extremely thin in this small world. The assembling speed of the tactical formations outside of this world could not catch up with Minghe’s speed of consumption, and now these formations were of no use to him anymore. Minghe had amassed the power there to his limit. He was like a lively volcano that could erupt at any time.
Right at that moment, Minghe suddenly opened his eyes and broke out an unstoppable force, which was much stronger than it was when he was at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm. This powerful force stirred the entire world upside down. Even the world-enhancing tactical formations could not bear his coercion and began to break. Suddenly, the vital force of destruction permeated the entire small world.
Seeing this, Minghe moved to the outside. He found that the mountain where this small world hid was also covered with the vital force of destruction. All the flowers, grasses, and trees started to fade away, while all of the Ominous Beasts of Chaos became impatient and ran down to the foot of the mountain. With a terrible blare, the entire mountain was collapsing.
This terrible blare suddenly attracted quite a lot of Ominous Beasts of Chaos nearby. Looking at these tens of thousands of beasts, Minghe smiled and murmured, "Since it is so, you can be the trial targets of my new skill of the Law of Spiritual Beings." Minghe just pointed at these beasts and an invisible wave scattered out, covering all the beasts inside it.
Suddenly, all the gathering beasts fell down and only the slight sound of wind remained. Stretching out his hand, numerous Origins of Chaos gathered into his hand. Waving his sleeve, he put away all the corpses of these beasts.
Minghe was really satisfied with his powerful attack. Among the tens of thousands of Ominous Beasts of Chaos, hundreds of them had reached the Zenith Heaven Realm. Although the strongest ones only had mortal bodies at the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, Minghe was so powerful that he could destroy all of them just by pointing at them. Therefore, a cultivator who reached the Half Step to the Fate Realm could be really mighty.
In fact, Minghe had used the Law of Spiritual Beings coincidentally, as spirit was the weakness of these beasts. Although there were some wisdom-suppressing laws for the Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, they could also form their Original Spirits. However, their Original Spirits could not reach the Zenith Heaven Realm even if their mortal bodies had reached the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Minghe attacked their weakness with his strength, so the results were excellent. If he chose the same way to attack the beasts whose mortal bodies reached beyond the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, the results would not be good. A beast whose mortal body had reached the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm would have his Original Spirit at the Zenith Heaven Realm. If a cultivator wanted to attack their Original Spirit, he had to break the defense of its mortal body first.
Actually, Minghe could also instantly kill an Ominous Beast of the Choas whose mortal body was below the Half Step to the Fate Realm. Minghe totally realized the strong power of the Fate Realm when his Original Spirit broke through to the Half Step to the Fate Realm. When he thought about how he had plotted the Way of Heaven in Untainted Land, he found it was a little bit horrible. If Untainted Land and Hongjun had not controlled a large part of the Way of Heaven’s power, Minghe would have died.
At his current cultivation level, Minghe feared nothing in the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. Even if faced with a beast tide of the Chaos, he could deal with it easily. It was the right time for him to go to the central area of the Lower Layer. In there, both the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and the Air of the Divine Law were much more abundant than the outside world. Minghe needed to get there to do a long-term Closed Door Meditation.
Minghe knew clearly that his Original Spirit had not reached the Peak of the Half Step to the Fate Realm, so he needed to spend some time to totally comprehend the Fate Realm. When he reached the Peak of the Half Step to the Fate Realm, he would easily make a further breakthrough as soon as he stepped into the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons.
