Chapter 347: The Secret of Zixiao Palace
With more secrets of Zixiao Palace being exposed, Minghe was no longer hesitant. He began to inject the Origin of Chaos into the Magical Tao Mirror. The injection increased 20-fold, 30-fold and eventually, 100-fold. In very short time, the power of the Magical Tao Mirror was played to its fullest. Although the Origin of Chaos was very precious, it was far less important than the secrets of Spiritual Treasure of Chaos.
...
In the Chaos, Hongjun killed any Rare Beast of Chaos that came into his way of accumulating the Origin of Chaos. However, he only came across a few of them and didn’t get much of the Origin of Chaos. No wonder he smelt a rat about Minghe.
Minghe took the body of the Rare Beast of Chaos and his Origin, yet he was not pleased. "Minghe was more powerful than I thought. He must have found more secrets than those recorded on the Jade Slip. He hid his power and cultivation just as I did. No wonder why he can achieve such a cultivation now," Hongjun mumbled to himself.
Minghe had transformed into Rakshasa and his human body also gained great strength rapidly. He had collected much of the Origin of Chaos, and even used it to strike a deal with Tongtian Sect Leader. Hongjun had also killed some Rare Beasts of Chaos. However, all the Origin of Chaos that Hongjun had got only amounted to the portion that Minghe used in the deal with Tongtian Sect Leader.
Hongjun waved his hand and Zixiao Palace appeared in his palm, with all the Origin of Chaos merging into it. Apparently, Hongjun was nurturing Zixiao Palace with the Origin of Chaos. Now, Zixiao Palace registered a stronger vital force of the Chaos than before. It seemed that Zixiao Palace had absorbed all the Origin of Chaos he had.
Looking at Zixiao Palace, Hongjun frowned. He was worried that it might take a long time for him to turn Zixiao Palace into Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. Though he had some advantage over Minghe now, it was very possible that those hidden secrets would bring Minghe Fated Chance. In this way, the situation would be turned against him.
Although Hongjun knew that there was nothing inextricable between he and Minghe, they didn’t have to be enemies. If they shared similar interests and goals, it was very possible that they could stand on the same side. However, Minghe always held the initiative, whether it was in Untainted Land or in the Chaos. The world would always be ruled by powerful ones.
Hongjun was aware that not only did he become more powerful, Minghe’s power was also growing at an amazing speed. Judging from the current situation, Hongjun knew that the key to overpower Minghe was Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. With that in hand, Hongjun could garner more strength over Minghe.
Soon after withdrawing from Zixiao Palace, Hongjun set off to seek Rare Beast of Chaos and the way to other worlds. Suddenly, Hongjun stopped as he sensed that someone was spying on him. Using his Spiritual Thoughts to scan all around, Hongjun found no living creatures nearby.
That made Hongjun more suspicious. Was be being followed by someone very powerful? With a cultivation reaching the peak of the Origin, no one could escape his notice. Right now, however, he sensed nothing. No wonder Minghe felt strange.
Right at that moment, Hongjun’s expression changed, and he summoned Zixiao Palace. Feeling that it was engulfed by a kind of strange vital force, he instilled Power of Infinity into Zixiao Palace to stem it. When Xixiao Palace was back to normal, Hongjun was relieved.
Hong Hao did not expect that someone could actually spy on Zixiao Palace. No wonder he found nothing with his Spiritual Thoughts, as it was Zixiao Palace that was spied on, instead of himself. He was almost certain that Minghe did it, since he was also in the Chaos.
At the thought of Minghe, Hongjun was not only angry, but also worried. He was deeply concerned about the rapid growth of Minghe’s cultivation and the secrets he held. Now, Minghe had become a bigger headache as he began to spy on Hongjun.
The more mysterious Minghe was, the more pressure Hongjun felt. The fact that Minghe was spying on Zixiao Palace proved that it was different from other ordinary primordial supreme treasures. Although he had stopped Minghe from carrying out his plans, Hongjun had no idea how many more secrets Minghe held. That was what worried Hongjun the most.
...
Seeing Zixiao Palace disappearing suddenly, Minghe knew that he had been discovered by Hongjun. He used over half of all the Origin of Chaos to probe into the secrets of Zixiao Palace. It was worth it since over 70% of all the secrets had been disclosed. Minghe also partially discovered how Hongjun had refined his Zixiao Palace.
As Minghe had expected, Hongjun did plan to refine Zixiao Palace into a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, and had already started his plan. Minghe also found that Zixiao Palace had become stronger.
Minghe had some ideas about how Hongjun had refined Zixiao Palace. Hongjun aimed to turn it into a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. Nevertheless, it changed at a very slow speed, by which, Minghe knew that it was not easy to refine a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. That was good news to him since Minghe could gain more time to uncover secrets before they met again.
To refine a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, the key was the Chaos’ limit. Whether they were for primordial spiritual treasures or primordial supreme treasures, the limits for them were primordial ones. Only when primordial limits turned into those of the Chaos’ could primordial supreme treasures be transformed into Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. However, that took an unimaginable amount of energy.
Apart from the Origin of Chaos, it took primordial limits to turn primordial supreme treasure into Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. That was the crucial and most difficult part. In contrast to the primordial limit which was made from Talisman Symbol of The Divine Law and limits, the Chaos’ limit was totally made of the Power of Divine Law. It was an integral part, instead of a combination of several pieces.
Once the limit of the Chaos was materialized, it could not be changed. When Minghe was refining primordial spiritual treasure, he could add some Talisman Symbols of the Divine Law on it. Yet, this time, it was far more difficult to make a whole limit of the Chaos. The grasp of the Divine Law was the key to it.
All Minghe need to do now was to find a way to refine an integral Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, now that he knew that the key was the limit of the Chaos. Apart from Minghe’s comprehension of the Divine Law, trials and practices were also very important, since practice leads to the truth.
Minghe recalled the limit of the Chaos he found on Xixiao Palace and found it quite familiar. Suddenly, an idea struck Minghe, and he realized that the limit looked like those lines on the Altar. Minghe decided that he need to spend more time studying the Altar.
At the thought of the Altar, Minghe recalled a beast nest that he came across in the Out-of-Law Area. There must be an Altar, mysterious enough to lure him back. Besides, Minghe had a way to cross the border of World of Five Elements. It was time Minghe went back.
