The Spiritual Attainment Of Minghe Chapter 55: The Killing Prelude

Chapter 55: The Killing Prelude

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Minghe was truly speechless. How could Kunpeng just run away like that, without worrying about his dignity? If he wanted to flee, then fine. He should have at least leave threatening words before going. Well, that sounded more like the style of hooligans. Minghe was thinking from the modern perspective again.

If Kunpeng knew what Minghe thought, he would definitely start cursing. Dignity? For him, the importance of his life far exceeded everything else. What was more, he was worried Minghe would not let him off. Naturally, he would run for his life as soon as possible. As for threatening words? If he angered Minghe, would he not just experience some truly bad luck? If things went awry, he might even lose his life.

Minghe regretted that Kunpeng escaped. He was such a great target! How could he just run away like that? Minghe's punch earlier was not yet at his full strength yet. His reason for roaming outdoors this time was merely to get the Hong Meng Immortal Qi for himself. He also wanted to further improve the Law of Killing by committing murder.

Forget it. It was not worth his time to capture him. Kunpeng was already seriously injured from Hongyun's explosion and Minghe's punch probably made things worse. It was possible that Kunpeng could not endure any more of Minghe's attacks in his condition. Moreover, more "targets" would come at once, making Kunpeng unimportant to Minghe.

After gaining Hong Meng Immortal Qi, Minghe did not rush back to Blood Sea. Instead, he rode his cloud slowly, looking rather distracted. It was no surprise, as the Sorcerer and Demon tribes were at loggerheads in Mount Buzhou. A great war was inevitable. Furthermore, the Cultivation Tribulation has begun. It would be hard for the Sorcerer and Demon tribes to restrain themselves.

Creatures took all responsibilities for the death Tribulation in Untainted Land. They absorbed the Spiritual Air in the land, cultivating themselves and attaining Dao so they could achieve immortality. Creatures could return to the land only after their death. However, death of immortals were increasing yet few died. The Way of Heaven on Untainted Land made the Cultivation Tribulation to death Heaven and Earth.

During the Cultivation Tribulation, the energy inside the creatures would return to the land after their death. The Cultivation Tribulation would only end when nature's energy was balanced once again. This cycle would continue until the Wu Liang Cultivation Tribulation took place, which would destroy Untainted Land and return everything to the state of the Chaos.

The Sorcerer and Demon Tribes were now the most powerful tribes in Untainted Land, with a combined population of tribesmen over 100 billion. Such a large number of people made them large consumers of the Spiritual Air. On this ground, the Cultivation Tribulation fell on these two tribes and would not end until both sides were greatly weakened.

Of course, besides the two tribes, others below the Fruit of Origin in Untainted Land would also experience the tribulation. That included Minghe. Since it was inevitable, Minghe might as well partic.i.p.ate actively so he could be out of the tribulation earlier.

Sitting on a cloud, Minghe was concerned about the first war between the Sorcerer and Demon tribes. To be precise, what he cared about was whether Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery would arrange Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation to call Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu. That was the actual body of Rakshasa. Minghe wanted to return to Genesis and refine such a powerful body. Thus, he would not miss this precious opportunity to observe its appearance.

While Minghe was preoccupied with the war between the two tribes, quite a few people flew here one after another. In a little while, some 30 people surrounded Minghe. They were Individual Cultivators who had intercepted Hongyun's Good Separation and all of them were at the level of Sage-to-be.

Among them, 16 were Wild Wind Ancestor and his group. Though they did not make in time earlier, their Spiritual Thoughts were focused on where Hongyun's explosion. When they saw Minghe pocket the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, they became panicked and they rushed here as fast as they could.

Despite Minghe's carefree and lazy stance on the cloud, n.o.body dared to attack him. They all had witnessed how he severely hurt Kunpeng with just one punch. No one wanted to be the first in attacking such a fearsome opponent.

Though they were all Sages-to-be, they suspected Minghe was at least in his Late Stage. The rest of them were just at Early and Secondary Stages. Besides, Minghe had refined both his body and Original Spirit, as well as possessed the Power of Divine Law. To hastily launch an offensive was equal to suicide.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense as time pa.s.sed. Minghe took no action, but the pressure he exerted on the Individual Cultivators was great. "One is still in calm even in the face of the Mount Tai collapse", this old saying precisely described Minghe. He still remained impa.s.sive even as he was besieged by tens of Sages-to-be, his mind distracted with thoughts on the war between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes.

In the end, 68 Sages-to-be surrounded Minghe. Aside from those in the two tribes, probably all the Individual Cultivators in Sage-to-be level were gathered here. It was a grand sight to have 70 Sages-to-be gathered together. Even if one combined the Sages-to-be in the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes, they would not make up even half of the number here.

Minghe still had no reaction even after a long wait. The bad-tempered Wild Wind Ancestor could no longer take the silence. "Fellow Taoist Minghe, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. We're here for the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. If you give it to us, we'll let you go. But... "

"But what?" Originally silent, Minghe started speaking in an utterly cold voice. His attention was on the war between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes. How could he remain in a good mood now that he was abruptly interrupted by others?

Hearing Minghe's detached tone, Wild Wind Ancestor dropped the polite act. "Minghe, look around. We have 68 Sages-to-be here. Do you think you can run from us? You best surrender Hong Meng Immortal Qi immediately lest you meet Hongyun's end."

With those words, Sages-to-be were fired up to instantly kill Minghe and steal his Hong Meng Immortal Qi. With their large number of people, they a.s.sumed they had the advantage of strength against Minghe's high cultivation. But they were wrong, totally wrong.

Looking around him, Minghe burst into laughter. Seeing this, Wild Wind Ancestor asked, "Minghe, what are you laughing about?" For a person to laugh under such circ.u.mstances, he had either gone crazy or had something or someone to back him up.

His laughter ceasing, Minghe said, "What am I laughing about? Of course, it's you. Firstly, I'm laughing because you're all so naive. I would've been afraid if you're truly united. But there's only one Hong Meng Immortal Qi. Who will be so generous as to give it up?" His words rose the suspicion of the Individual Cultivators and put them on guard against one another. Precious treasures were enough to tempt people, what more of the position of a Saint. Perhaps two people who fought side by side now would be against each other in the next moment.

"Secondly, I'm laughing at you for being too stupid. You're too foolish to compare me to Hongyun. You silly people! Even if you fight me together, I'll not do so much as raise an eyebrow." He harrumphed coldly and let out a burst of aura. That was the aura of Peak Level of Sage-to-be, rising abruptly into the clouds and turning the land grey. Under the pressure of his aura, the individual cultivators were all shocked. Even the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes at the fringe of a war were stunned.

...

Far away in Mount Kunlun, Laozi, Honoured Lord of the Origin, and Tongtian were watching the two great battles, one between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes and the one with Minghe. They paid little attention to the former. The war was inevitable since the two tribes dominated Untainted Land. Moreover, with the start of Cultivation Tribulation, the war would naturally begin sooner or later.

Unlike Laozi and Tongtian's indifference towards the war between the two tribes, Honoured Lord of the Origin was awfully jealous underneath his calm exterior. The two tribes had such a great power that their fame had surpa.s.sed the Three Pure Ones. Honoured Lord of the Origin was a proud person and regarded himself the successor to the Pangu tribe. How could he be happy seeing the fame of the two tribes resound throughout Untainted Land?

On the other hand, Minghe had wrestled the Hong Meng Immortal Qi away from Kunpeng and severely hurt him with just a punch. Though Kunpeng had already been injured at that time, the Three Pure Ones could still evaluate Minghe was at least a Sage-to-be in his Late Stage. His strength shocked them. Among them, only Laozi had achieved his second separation after listening to the third Teachings. Honoured Lord of the Origin and Tongtian only recently achieved theirs.

Judging from his performance, it was obvious that Minghe had gained his second shocked for some time. The power of his punch also proved his body was no weaker than shocked. How could the Three Pure Ones not be astonished? But it was not only shocked that Honoured Lord of the Origin felt, it was also a blazing fire of envy.

Seeing Minghe's aura reaching the Peak Level of Sage-to-be, Honoured Lord of the Origin even stood up. "Impossible! Impossible! How can his cultivation achieve Peak Level of Sage-to-be? How can he surpa.s.s us? This can't be true!" Seeing his crazed antics, he would have probably succ.u.mbed to Xin Mo if not for the blessing and protection of the Merit of Creation.
