The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Chapter 18: The Exposure of Luohou

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Only the Way of Great Way knew that Minghe came from the future and had knowledge of that time from Minghe's memory. However, the Way of Great Way was impartial and would not expel him even if he was an abnormality. Besides the Way of Heaven, there was the Submerging Yi which represented Fated Chance and all creatures in Untainted Land were likely to become the Submerging Yi and surpass the Way of Heaven.

Currently, the Way of Heaven had no idea what the Magical Tao Mirror was, but it knew that although the treasure was against the heaven, Minghe had not done anything against the heaven. Therefore, the Way of Great Way had only come to give him a warning and the silver light from the Eye of the Great Way had covered the secret Magical Tao Mirror. As a result, nobody knew what exactly had happened in Blood Sea even the Way of Heaven.

Seeing the first half of the messages left by the Way of Great Way, Minghe was greatly moved. The Way of Great Way had not destroyed this Spiritual Treasure and it even covered the secret for him. It was so good to him. However, upon seeing the second half of the message, Minghe jumped up and cursed.

The Magical Tao Mirror could have been a Primordial Supreme Treasure rather than a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, if it were not for the interference by the Way of Great Way. Despite it being at the Highest Grade, it was far lower than a Primordial Supreme Treasure. In addition, the Way of Great Way had left restrictions on the use of the Magical Tao Mirror.

There were no limitations to predicting tactical methods, tactical formations and magic skills through the Magical Tao Mirror, but it was supposed to be used to predict the Divine Law, like the Jade Butterfly of Fate. The difference was that the Jade Butterfly of Fate was endowed with three thousand Ways of Great Way while the Magical Tao Mirror had nothing and could only be used to predict the Divine Law which Minghe had been enlightened with before.

To predict the Divine Law through the Magical Tao Mirror should have been an easy task and then Minghe could become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin soon and surpass the Way of Heaven. However, the Way of Great Way did not leave so many advantages for Minghe.

Since it was unfair for other creatures in Untainted Land, the Way of Great Way had restricted its ability to predict the Divine Law. Minghe had to sacrifice something like the Spiritual Air, Spiritual Treasure materials, Spiritual Fruits and Medicines, Power of Original Spirit, supernatural power or merits to the Magical Tao Mirror before he could use it to predict the Divine Law.

For example, the abundant Spiritual Air in the Untainted Land was necessary for every creature to cultivate themselves. When the Spiritual Air was consumed to a certain extent, the Cultivation Tribulation would befall. Those who died in the Cultivation Tribulation would return to Genesis and convert to the Spiritual Air again. The Cultivation Tribulation would end in a certain circumstance, which constituted a self-protection way of the Untainted Land.

If Minghe wanted to sacrifice Spiritual Air to the Magical Tao Mirror, he needed to deplete a vast amount to do so. Besides, Minghe would be connected to Karma and his soul might disintegrate when the Cultivation Tribulation started. Even if he could survive the Cultivation Tribulation, the strong Karma would affect his cultivation.

Regarding other materials, the blood was abundant in the Blood Sea and could be consumed as long as it would not damage the initial Blood Sea; Spiritual Fruits and Medicines were renewable resources so that they could be recycled; the Spiritual Treasure materials were too precious to be sacrificed; the Power of Original Spirit and supernatural power could be sacrificed as long as they would not be overused in case the Original Spirit and Foundation would be damaged.

As for merits, Minghe was not willing to sacrifice them, but they turned out to be the most effective. Although the Blood River Formation could repeatedly provide merits by absorbing the Evil Blood Aura in Untainted Land, its effect would become weaker after the Sorcerer and Demon tribes's Cultivation Tribulation. Then, the Blood River Formation would grow weaker and be unable to provide enough merits as required by the Magical Tao Mirror.

Minghe got a longing for merits now. He could earn some merits based on his understanding of the Untainted Land. Now, however, it was the most economical way to sacrifice Spiritual Fruits and Medicines, Power of Original Spirit and the supernatural power whose effect was weaker but more enduring.

Upon getting the Magical Tao Mirror, Minghe started another Closed Door Meditation. He planned to make thorough progress on his tactical methods. Minghe would have no opportunity to do so once he reached Sage-to-be, and his enlightenment on the Divine Law could not be stopped if he wanted to enter the realm of Sage-to-be.

···

Minghe started his Closed Door Meditation with no care as to what went on outside. The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin stopped the war for nearly a hundred years but then they went at it again.

This time, the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin stopped again due to Blood Sea. The Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land and Individual Cultivators all noticed the violent movements of Blood Sea. They had diverse explanations about it. Some said the sea was going to submerge Untainted Land while others claimed some superior treasures were going to appear. All kinds of rumors were being spread everywhere.

···

Inside Mount Yujing, Hong Jun was curious about Blood Sea as well. He wondered and thought, "What is going on in the Blood Sea? Is it possible that some Spiritual Treasures or creatures are going to appear? It's really strange that I can't predict anything about it. How should I cope with the Unforeseen Signs from the heaven?"

Luohou bristled with anger. "Damn. The last time the three tribes stopped the war was because of Blood Sea. I put in so much effort to start the war again and now it has stopped, again! If I ever catch that person I'll definitely torture whoever it is to death."

After venting for a while, Luohou calmed down and gave orders to Flame Demon. "Flame Demon, you'll slip into the three tribes yourself this time and make sure to incite war among the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin. As for Blood Sea, we'll leave it aside for the moment and I'll take a closer look after I reach the Sage realm.

But unexpectedly, Flame Demon failed to incite war and got himself killed. The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin were shocked to find tracks left by the Demon Tribe and realized that they had been infiltrated by them.

The appearance of the Demon Tribe made Heavens' mystery clearer. Besides, Ancestor of Dragon, the Lord of the Phoenix, and the Forefather of the Kylin, had all reached the Secondary Stage of Sage-to-be and naturally spotted the plan of the Demon Tribe through some predictions. In a fit of anger, they bound together and started to attack the Demon Tribe.

However, it was too late. The previous war had exhausted too much of their strength, and Luo Ho had all his spies in the three tribes pullout when Flame Demon was killed. As a result, all Demon Tribe members retreated to the west, impairing the strength of the three tribes and increasing their own power.

After making clear what was going on, although the three tribes could not put down all resentments, they decided to launch an attack on the west for revenge. What surprised them was that the Demon Tribe could resist their attack by themselves. This also showed that the strength of the three tribes had been weakened to a great extent.

However, this was not what Luohou desired. According to his original plan, when the strength of the three tribes was severely depleted, he would lead the army of the Demon Tribe towards the east and capture the whole Untainted Land singlehandedly. The two movements of Blood Sea spoiled his plan.

Luohou hated Blood Sea with every fiber of his being. Were it not for the two movements of Blood Sea, the Demon Tribe would not have been exposed so early. Actually, it was partly due to Luohou's impatience to instigate the war among the three tribes which caused the demons planted in the tribes to be exposed. All in all, Luohou would not let go of Blood Sea. If he had known that the two movements had been caused by man, he would have started attacking Blood Sea.

Of course, Minghe somehow sensed the grievance from Luohou. He sneered and joked. "Is someone missing me now?" Had he known that the guy missing him was Luohou, he would not have been so relaxed.
