The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Unfortunately, they could not afford what Minghe really wanted. Since everything had settled down, Minghe was willing to spare some time to tell them the truth. Minghe smiled slightly and said, "Jun Tian, you really have a lot of questions. But I am happy today, so I can tell you who I am. I am Ancestor Minghe."

Then, Minghe pointed at Heaven and Earth Taoist and the other two, saying, "They are my Three Separations. Sorry, I just forgot you didn’t hear about the Way of the Three Separations in this place. You can consider them my Incarnations." The Way of the Three Separations was created by Hongjun, so it did not exist in any other world aside from Untainted Land.

Hearing Minghe’s words, Taoist Jun Tian and his seven fellows were totally stunned. They had learned about the Way of Incarnation, but they had not expected Minghe to reach such an amazing level. They thought that it was impossible for Minghe’s Three Separations to all reach the level of the Origin, each of whom was much more powerful than any one of them. They could not imagine what kind of level Minghe had reached, since his Separations were all that powerful.

Looking at the shocked expression on their faces, Minghe continued, "My purpose? It’s simple. I need this World of Five Regions, so if I seal the Way of Heaven, I can get what I want easier. As for the beast tide of the Chaos, that’s my work. Without it, I can’t seal the Way of Heaven so smoothly."

Taoist Jun Tian’s face changed color after hearing Minghe’s words. As expected, Minghe came for the World of Five Elements. What a nuisance! Since the Way of Heaven had been sealed by Minghe, they had only a small chance to win even if they were to amass the remaining power of the Way of Heaven.

Judging by the power that burst out when the four of Minghe had sealed the Way of Heaven, Taoist Jun Tian was naturally able to understand the disparity between those four and them. But now, he realized that the reason that they were originally able to escape from the beast nest was not because Minghe did not have enough time to deal with them, but that he did not care about them.

When the five escaped, Minghe only sealed Taoist Yan Yang and Taoist Xun Yuan, who had gotten badly hurt. With those two as hostages, Minghe could find the World of Five Elements again. By then, the other three could not escape again unless they abandoned the World of Five Elements and wandered in the Chaos. If they had a good chance, they could find another world to survive; if not, they would vanish into the void after consuming all of their supernatural powers.

Facing Minghe’s powerful force, Taoist Jun Tian clearly knew that they could not stop him, so he had to compromise. He said, "My fellow Taoist, Minghe, we know that we are no match for you. Since you’ve settled on this World of Five Elements, you are the master of this world from this day on. We will go back to the World of Five Regions. What do you think of that?"

Hearing Taoist Jun Tian’s words, the other seven showed unwillingness on their faces, but they knew Taoist Jun Tian’s intention. Minghe’s might was beyond their imagination and the Way of Heaven had been sealed. Since they had lost their strongest shield, they had to stoop down and compromise temporarily.

Though most of the Way of Heaven had been sealed, part of it still existed. Over time, the remaining part could help the World of Five Elements grow. When it had enough power and could match with Minghe, they would take the World of Five Elements back. Though it might take a very long time, they still had the hope to win if they were alive.

Unfortunately, they had misunderstood Minghe’s words. Hearing Taoist Jun Tian’s words, Minghe laughed and said, "The master of this world? No, no, no, you must misunderstand my words. My Good Separation, Heaven and Earth Taoist, is practicing the Way of World Evolution, and he has a World of Heaven and Earth inside his body. Therefore, this World of Five Elements will be swallowed by him to enhance his World of Heaven and Earth."

The faces of Taoist Jun Tian and his seven fellows changed color after hearing Minghe’s words. Swallow the world? That was the real purpose of Minghe. Since it was so, they could not deal with this issue in a peaceful way. Taoist Tong Hua’s expression turned cold and he said, "Minghe, if the World of Five Elements were to be swallowed, the creatures inside it would die out. By then, you will owe quite a lot of Karma, and this psychological barrier will follow you forever."

Minghe said lightly, "It’s none of your business. My Evil Separation, Red Lotus Taoist, has been practicing the Way of Karma and Killing, so Karma is a supreme tonic for him. Besides, after the World of Heaven and Earth swallows the World of Five Elements, most of the creatures will incarnate into the World of Heaven and Earth. In their newborn lives, they might reach higher realms someday."

Taoist Jun Tian and his seven fellows looked sullen after hearing Minghe’s words. The only thing they wished was that they could persuade Minghe not to swallow the World of Five Elements. But now, that seemed to be impossible and they had to do or die. As for abandoning the World of Five Elements and wandering in the Chaos, they had never thought about that.

The supernatural power of cultivators of the Origin was really abundant. Even without Spiritual Air to support their power, they could live in the Chaos for a long time. But once that was exhausted, they could only wait to die. Actually, if they could find another world, they still had a chance to survive.

Of course, that was the best situation for them. Even if they found another world, it might be difficult for them to survive. It was just like the time that Minghe came into this World of Five Elements. They would be the invaders and would be allowed by the Way of Heaven in the new world. But at the same time, the powerful cultivators in that world would be afraid of them and could even become their enemies.

In fact, every Origin of the experts of the Origin was really attractive to the others. It was a Supreme Treasure to be refined for consumption or to refine weapons and elixirs. Perhaps they would become the prey of other cultivators. Unless they were lucky enough to find a world as weak as the Treasures World or Beasts World, they had just a small chance to survive.

With that being the case, it might be better for them to fight. In fact, they did still have some chance to win. With the power of the remaining part of the Way of Heaven and the Primordial Five Elements Formation formed by the World of Five Regions, the eight experts of the Origin could still activate extremely formidable power. Though the World of Five Elements would surely be badly damaged after this battle, it would be better than if it was completely swallowed.

After making the final decision, Taoist Jun Tian activated his Spiritual Thoughts to make contact with the remaining part of the Way of Heaven and he shared all of his ideas with it. Though the Way of Heaven had no ideology, it knew the stakes. It was the time to live or die, so it would fight with the eight. Even if it would pay a lot, it would be better for the World of Five Elements to be swallowed.

When the power of the Way of Heaven changed, Minghe naturally discovered the change of the World of Five Elements. In order to suppress Minghe and enhance the power of Taoist Jun Tian and his seven fellows, the Way of Heaven activated the power of the World of Five Elements to form the super Primordial Five Elements Formation.

Unfortunately, Minghe would not allow them to achieve their goal. Stepping forward, Minghe shouted, "Real Body of Rakshasa, be revealed!" As his words finished, Minghe’s body expanded. In a mere moment, Minghe turned into an 800,000-foot-tall giant. His horrible vital force of Rakshasa suddenly made the World of Five Elements vibrate tremendously.

It was the first time for Minghe to completely reveal his Real Body of Rakshasa. Last time, when he swallowed the vital force of destruction in Untainted Land, he only revealed a body that was tens of thousands of feet high. Minghe had a vigorous power of the Origin, which Liu Er could not match with. Though the latter also achieved his Real Body of Rakshasa, his Origin was much weaker than Minghe’s, so he could only produce a body that was tens of thousands of feet tall.

The Real Body of Rakshasa stood in front of Taoist Jun Tian and his seven fellows. The horrible Vital Force of Destruction made them shudder and they even wanted to escape from there. However, facing Minghe’s might, they did not dare to escape and could not even if they wanted to.

Minghe looked down upon the eight and looked around the World of Five Regions surrounding him, saying lightly, "It’s time to end it." Then, Minghe shook his fist, vibrating the entire Chaos and World of Five Elements. Even space was shaking. This fist had the power to destroy Heaven and Earth, representing termination and death.

Suddenly, the Five Elements were destroyed, the Chaos was broken, the remaining Way of Heaven collapsed, and even the World of Five Elements deviated from its original location, while the Primordial Five Elements Formation formed by the World of Five Elements was broken. Taoist Jun Tian, Taoist Tong Hua, and Taoist Xun Yuan were all badly hurt, while the other five experts of the Origin had exploded into ashes. That was the end of it.

...

At the other end of the Chaos and outside a medium dichiliocosm, Hongjun was hiding in the Chaos, observing what happened in this world. With the Supreme Treasure, Zixiao Palace, in his hand, he wore a delightful smile as he soliloquized, "Finally, I found it." His voice was full of coldness and even the vital force of destruction, which could make people shudder.

Looking at this world, Hongjun seemed to have found a precious treasure. Although the Tao that he cultivated was different from Minghe’s, this world also had great use for him. Swallowing this world could improve the cultivation of Minghe’s Good Separation, while Hongjun had the same purpose. In fact, each way of the 3,000 Great Ways would lead to the same destination.

...

Hundreds of years later, Minghe was sitting cross-legged in the Chaos, scattering an extremely horrible vital force and stirring the Chaos surrounding him. A faint trace of the vital force of destruction was floating over the Chaos, which was the remaining vital force of the destruction of the World of Five Elements. This Chaos was the original location of the World of Five Elements. Unfortunately, that world had disappeared, and only the vital force of destruction floating over the Air of Chaos proved that it had even existed before.
