Chapter 371: Discovery

However, those were all just Minghe's ideas. It would probably take a lot of time to really complete the improvements of the Four Mysterious Formations. Moreover, whether it could be successful or not depended on his Fated Chance. Perhaps he could get enlightened in a short time. In that case, it would be nothing difficult to improve the formations. On the other hand, he might comprehend the formations for tens of thousands of years and gain nothing in the end. Now, everything was uncertain.
Fortunately, Minghe had the Magical Tao Mirror, so he could do things with great facility, whether it was comprehending the Great Way or tactical formations. The trouble was that it consumed a great deal of Origin of Chaos every time. Now, all he could do was collect as much Origin of Chaos as possible. The place he pa.s.sed by might be said to have no beasts there. Luckily, Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons seemed to be endless, so they could be killed unceasingly.
Minghe collected the Origin of Chaos from all the Ominous Beasts of Chaos that he killed. Meanwhile, their corpses were also useful to him. Originally, he only took millions of Clones of Blood G.o.d when he left Untainted Land. Although they were refined with the blood of the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land and they were really powerful in Untainted Land, in this place, the human bodies of the Clones of Blood G.o.d were far inferior to that of Ominous Beasts of Chaos with the same cultivation.
Therefore, Minghe made a Supreme Treasure with the flesh and blood of Ominous Beasts of Chaos that he killed. He called it the Blood Pool. All Ominous Beasts of Chaos that he killed would be thrown into it. Their flesh and blood would be refined in the Blood Pool to become the purest blood. Minghe used the blood in the Blood Pool to remake the bodies for the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers and the Clones of Blood G.o.d.
According to his original plan, Liu Er and the others could provide him a lot of help once they had grown up. Now it seemed that Liu Er and the others could not catch up with Minghe. Since he had reached the Half Step to the Fate Realm, his body was going to be enhanced. For Liu Er and the others, the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons was a good growth environment. For Minghe, it was useless. He would start his journey from the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons.
The process might take anywhere from thousands of years to tens of thousands of years. Until then, even if Liu Er and the others had reached the Late Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm or even the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, they could only be burdens to him when they got to the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons. Instead, it was better to let them grow in the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons to the fullest degree and then proceed to the Medium Layer.
At the thought of this, Minghe looked back in the direction where Liu Er and the others were located. A Taoist Seal instantly formed in his hand and a beam of silver light was given off. In a flash, the light faded in the Void. The silver light contained some information about the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons that he had obtained. Although he did not want to intervene in their growth, Minghe did not want them to go through any danger. If they were to break into the Medium Layer rashly, it would not be fun.
Minghe continued to fly after he got everything done. He had done all that he could. Although Liu Er and the three others were his disciples, Minghe also hoped that they really could grow. They had their own paths and methods, so Minghe did not want to interfere with them. He hoped that they could become really strong and invincible.
...
In the valley, Liu Er sat cross-legged in the palace and absorbed the Origin of Chaos with all his strength to strengthen his Real Body of the Mazinger. Previously, in the Chaos nearby Untainted Land, he had absorbed the Air of Chaos to practice the Real Body of the Mazinger, but it was far less effective than the Origin of Chaos. At present, he killed Ominous Beasts of Chaos and collected their Origin of Chaos in the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons for cultivation. He believed that he could become as strong as his master, Minghe, one day.
Just at that moment, Liu Er suddenly opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. He stretched out his hands and took out a special box, which was left behind by Minghe when he departed. Minghe told him not to open it unless it was an emergency. Since he had gotten the box, nothing had happened to it. However, there was some motion in the box today.
Suddenly, a beam of light flashed across the box and a streak of silver light shot right in between Liu Er's eyebrows. He instantly reacted but he did not hold it back. The box was left by his master, Minghe, so he remained calm. Although he did not know what the silver light was, he was confident that it would not hurt him.
As the silver light vanished right in between his eyebrows, a great deal of information began to appear in Liu Er's mind. He continuously digested the information and his facial expression changed from confusion to astonishment. In the end, he opened his eyes and they were as large as copper bells. Obviously, the information that Minghe had sent was so shocking that Liu Er looked like this.
After fully understanding the information sent by Minghe, Liu Er was unable to continue practicing, so he stood up and walked out. It was evident that he planned to find his junior brothers, Zhenyuanzi and the others, and negotiate with them. After all, this was related to the path to the future, so it was better to draw on the wisdom of the ma.s.ses. Moreover, Liu Er was not good at making a plan, so he needed to turn to the others for help.
...
Minghe kept flying to the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons. Along the way, he did not meet anyone from any other worlds, aside from countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos. After all, the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons was very large. Although many people from other worlds in the Chaos did enter, it was difficult to meet each other because they were spread out in various places of the Lower Layer.
But now, Minghe discovered the trails of others. Along the way, Minghe had not been hiding, but instead, had attracted Ominous Beasts of Chaos to pursue him in order to collect their corpses and Origin of Chaos. When the number of the beasts reached a certain quant.i.ty, Minghe would kill all of them at one time. However, he did not find any traces of them where he was currently, so he naturally felt suspicious.
He dropped his cloud down, saw the remaining signs of struggle and bloodstains all around, and smelled the breath left behind in the air. He was able to judge that the man who killed the Ominous Beasts of Chaos in this area had to be an expert and might have reached the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, or even the Half Step to the Fate Realm.
From the remnants here, it could be concluded that it was a one-sided killing. The bloodstains all around were of Ominous Beasts of Chaos. Meanwhile, the area was not badly damaged. This indicated that these Ominous Beasts of Chaos had been killed before a long fight could occur. Even more frightening was that the breath that remained here was of Ominous Beasts of Chaos, but the man had not left any breath.
That man was able to perfectly control his breath during the fight, thus, it was obvious that the man was equally matched with Minghe, whether in cultivation or caution. This aroused Minghe's interest because only Hongjun could be regarded as his opponent up to this point. But he had just encountered another man who might be equally matched with him or Hongjun. Therefore, the blood inside his body began to boil.
Based on his current cultivation and realm, only a few men could make Minghe exert all his strength, with Hongjun being one of them. However, Hongjun was wily, so he would not be willing to fight against Minghe if it was unprofitable. After all, once he had a fight with Minghe, Minghe would know him very well. If he was not confident in defeating Minghe, Hongjun would be unwilling to expose his methods or trump cards.
So aside from Hongjun, he was naturally somewhat curious when such a person came into sight. In addition to some traces in this place, Minghe did not find any signs about the man's direction of departure. Regrettably, the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons was so large that it was difficult to find anyone. Since he had failed to find that man, Minghe could only keep moving.
As he got closer and closer to the center of the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, Minghe could clearly sense that the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth became richer and richer, and Air of the Divine Law became more plentiful. Besides that, the Treasures of Heaven and Earth were also more numerous. However, what also followed was that the Ominous Beasts of Chaos got stronger and stronger, so Minghe's progress naturally slowed down.
Moreover, with the appearance of the Ominous Beasts of Chaos, whose bodies had reached the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm and the Half Step to the Fate Realm, Minghe could not kill them casually. If he were to be besieged by Ominous Beasts of Chaos, it would be a bitter struggle, which would consume a lot of time. At present, Minghe desired most to find a quiet place to arrange the Spirit-gathering Formation and conduct Closed Door Meditation.
Somewhere close to the Transmitting Formation, Minghe found a suitable place. It was a huge mountain with only one Ominous Beast of Chaos living on it. Its body had reached the Half Step to the Fate Realm and its Original Spirit had reached the Late Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm. If it could enter the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, it would probably break through to the Fate Realm soon afterward and then it would get out after shapes.h.i.+fting.
The mountain was occupied solely by that Ominous Beast of Chaos, so others did not dare approach it. Even when some had gotten close to it, they had been killed and swallowed by it. From the countless remains at the foot of the mountain, it could be concluded that this Ominous Beast of Chaos was extremely atrocious. Being overawed by these remains, the other Ominous Beasts of Chaos naturally did not dare approach, even if the place was appealing to people and beasts.
In the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, there were not only countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos, but also numerous Treasures of Heaven and Earth, Spiritual Medicine, Spiritual Roots, and various weapon-refining materials. As long as one were strong enough, he could get whatever he wanted. Along the way, Minghe had gained quite an abundanceSpiritual Medicine, Spiritual Roots, weapon-refining materials, all heaped into dunes. He even found several mineral veins with rare ores of all sizes.
However, among the things he had obtained, one thing was the most attractivea Spiritual Pulse. It was conceived between Heaven and Earth and born under a lucky star. Any place with a Spiritual Pulse was a blessed place. However, the Spiritual Pulse of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons was even more marvelous. It came into being after a long-standing conception by the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law. And one could only imagine that the Spiritual Pulse was abundant in the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law.
Along the way, Minghe had encountered more than a dozen Spiritual Pulses of all sizes. In general, such a Spiritual Pulse was occupied by a strong Ominous Beast of Chaos. Since he had already encountered such Spiritual Pulses, Minghe would not let them slip by. He had sealed all the Spiritual Pulses and put them away. His intention was to arrange a Spirit-gathering Formation with these Spiritual Pulses for the purpose of cultivation when he found a suitable place for Closed Door Meditation.
The mountain before his eyes had produced such a Spiritual Pulse. Moreover, it was a very special Spiritual Pulse, which those Spiritual Pulses that he collected before could not compare to. It was no wonder that an Ominous Beast of Chaos exclusively dominated this place. Perhaps its current cultivation was greatly due to this special Spiritual Pulse. But now, its luck had run out.
