Chapter 387: The Elders House

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The upgrade of a world required not only the Way of Heaven and a lot of Origins, but also the creatures in it. Should a world never shape any creature, it would badly affect its upgrade in the future. Minghe had gained so many useful cultivation exercises and he could finally put them to good use to form the World of Heaven and Earth!

Shaping Creatures took only a few 100,000 years, which were gone in the blink of an eye to Minghe. The problem now was the creatures were undeveloped. Thus, Minghe could only help them grow lest they hindered the growth of the World of Heaven and Earth. With the help of the best cultivation exercises with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Air of the Chaos, Minghe believed he would soon see creatures in the Zenith Heaven Realm of the Origin come into being.

Other than these cultivation exercises, information on Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays was stored in the library, but only Laws of Weapons and Arrays interested him. Besides, Minghe had already completed on the Law of Weapons. He only needed to learn from its advantages and in turn improve his.

The account on tactical formation helped Minghe a lot. Actually, Minghe knew little about the tactical formation in Fate Realm. Though he was a tactical formation expert, he only knew low-level formations. His best formation was in the Zenith Heaven Realm of the Origin. Hence, he found it difficult to form a tactical formation in Fate Realm.

It was different now since Minghe had acquired all the tactical formation stored in the Academy. His horizon had been greatly broadened. It was said stones from other hills might serve to polish jade. After fully understanding these formations, Minghe and Three Separations would found it easier to form Fate Realm formations. But there were many different type of formations, including abstruse tactical formations. It might take a long time to fully grasp them.

Minghe was deep in thoughts when the ident.i.ty plaque buzzed. Minghe checked and read the message. An ident.i.ty plaque not only records your ident.i.ty, cultivation, contribution, and mission but also received messages. One could communicate with it.

Reading the message, Minghe grinned and murmured, "Elder House? Interesting. It's time." He received a message from Elder House. It was absurd that as the eighth Elder in the Academy, he never stepped into the House. It was just that he did not expect that the message to come so soon. After all, he had just finished his meditations.

Minghe walked out of the library and stepped toward the center of the Academy. Looking out, Minghe could see a huge palace standing there. That was Elder House. There were seven Elders in charge of all kinds of work. They helped to manage in the absence of Venerable Linghao.

They were Elder Leiyun of resources, Elder Jiangwu of Torture Hall, Elder Hengpeng of Mission Hall, Elder Zhongnan of Weapon Hall, Elder Guqi of Formation Hall, Elder Shouzhou of Elixir Hall, and Elder Hongquan of Secret Hall. They each took charge of part of the Academy respectively and controlled parts of the resources.

Now that Minghe was promoted to be the eighth Elder, he needed to do something since the seven halls were all taken. He had two choices: He either joined one of the halls or set up a new hall. Of course, this was what people would normally do. However, Minghe opted out the two of them because they were both tricky.

All Minghe ever wanted was to practice and earn Fated Chances. Joining a hall or setting up a new one were both time-consuming. He would rather be an idle Elder. It would benefit him to have the prerogative of Elders and be free from fighting for power at the same time.

At the end of the day, the Academy looked peaceful but deep down was it divided into factions. For instance, the seven Elders controlled the largest factions in the Academy and including the dean, there were eight big factions. The factions wouldn't openly confront each other but secretly fought for resources.

The dean and the seven Elders were all in Fate Realm, and they needed to carry on the family line, unlike Minghe. Not all cultivators behaved like Minghe. Living in the Battlefield for so long, they naturally had families. Otherwise, there would not be enough creatures in the Battlefield.

The eight factions fought for resources to strengthen themselves and suppress others. Now that he was on his own, Minghe had better join one of the halls. A new hall would only suffer from other factions' attack. After all, one more hall meant one more contender.

Minghe could play with them with his sharp mind, but he thought of it as a waste of time. Compared with scrambling for resources, he could just refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos to trade for any resources he wanted. Although selling Spiritual Treasures of Chaos might land in his enemy hands, Minghe had to do it. Besides, in case of any danger, he would keep some means for himself.

In front of the Elder House, he looked at the magnificent palace but was not impressed. A palace like this on earth would be mind-blowing, but here even an ordinary immortal built such palaces. The palace was not noteworthy, what interested Minghe was the tactical formations within.

Minghe had read all the tactical formations in the library. Without a careful study, he could still recognize the formation in front of him. It was a myriad-Symbol soul-suppressing Formation at the Fate level. It consisted of numerous refined creatures souls. It was so profound that it could trap experts at least in Middle Stage of the Fate Realm.

The Elder House Palace in front of Minghe was composed of 36 subordinate temples. On top of every subordinate temple, there stood a monster statue. In fact, the statues were made out of 36 monster bodies. Their bodies and souls were sealed inside the statue. Judging from the vital force lingered around the statue, every one of them had been Fate Realm Early Stage Creatures. The four main monsters of the formation were the Chaos Ominous Beasts.

Such a formation could suppress Middle Stage of the Fate Realm experts and even Late Stage of Fate Realm ones. The Academy was really powerful in resources and this suited Minghe. Only when the Academy was strong, could Minghe benefit from it.

Entering the House, Minghe went directly to one of the four main temples: Meeting Temple. The seven Elders were waiting for him there. It would be the first meeting between Minghe and the Academy's higher ups. On the way, Minghe felt calm because he knew they would either bribe him or test him. Of course, there were other possibilities.

Stepping into the Meeting Temple, he saw a large jade table at the center. The table was surrounded by nine big chairs decorated with special imprints with an air of royalty. An Elder in the Academy was even more distinguished than an emperor.

Seven chairs had been taken. The vacant two chairs were for the dean, Venerable Linghao, and Minghe. Minghe was surprised that all seven Elders were present instead of mediating just to see him.
