The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Chapter 11: Wuji Apricot Flag

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Minghe knew that such actions would attract others attention, especially Luohou, the Lord of Devils, the mastermind who stirred up war among the three tribes. However, Minghe had come up with a strategy to disrupt his sensibilities so that Luohou would not be able to guess who had done this. The existence of Blood Sea was well-known, but Minghe was not.

What Minghe relied on was one of the skills he had created previously, the Blood God Transformation. The Clone of the Blood God and the Blood God Doppelganger he sent would first refine the Blood of Essence of the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land. They would travel Untainted Land as a member of these tribes and collect treasures and dead bodies from them for Minghe.

Suddenly, Minghe felt like he was becoming slightly perverted! He had not been afraid of blood in his previous life, but now he was stealing dead bodies. It seemed that he had gotten used to Untainted Land and had become the true Lord of Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe.

While the Blood God Doppelganger and Clones of Blood God were scavenging outside, Minghe quietly cultivated on Sacred Island. The emergence of Sage-to-be was a great burden and several hundred years later, he successfully broke through to the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality realm, just one step away from the Sage-to-be realm.

The Sage-to-be Realm might or might not be a challenge for him, and he had two methods devised. One was quite simple, he would absorb merits and enter the Sage-to-be realm. Thereupon he could even do the Separation work through the Primordial Spiritual Treasures. The only disadvantage was that this method could cause an unstable foundation.

According to his prediction, Ancestor of Dragon, Lord of the Phoenix and Forefather of the Kylin had entered the Sage-to-be realm through merits from the Way of Heaven, but they were only in the early stage. When calculating the Way of Separation, one Separation meant the secondary stage of Sage-to-be, two Separations the late stage and three Separations the peak level. Separation through merits could help Minghe reach the secondary stage of Sage-to-be, but skipping the early stage could lead to an unstable foundation and affect the future cultivation.

Another method was to cultivate through the Divine Law. Currently, Minghe’s enlightenment on the Law of Killing and the Law of Spiritual Beings had reached eight percent and 20 percent respectively. 20 percent was the maximum a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could comprehend, and so as long as Minghe could comprehend any of the laws above 20 percent, he would be able to enter the early stage of Sage-to-be realm.

According to his prediction if Separation was not done, he could reach the early stage of Sage-to-be after understanding 30 percent of the Divine Laws, and 40 percent understanding would result in the secondary stage of Sage-to-be, 50 percent the late stage and 60 percent the peak level. Thus, to be a sage, Minghe needed to receive 70 percent of the enlightenment of the Divine Laws. The problem was that cultivation through the Divine Laws was as difficult as going to heaven.

The path of the first method was very simple for Minghe since he was endowed with half of the Merit of Origin, and the Blood River Formation had been constantly amassing merits for Minghe, ever since its Origin. Every little bit counted, and it had collected one percent Merit of Origin. Adding onto it was the one percet Merit of Origin from his sermon tablets, it was enough for Minghe to make the Separation.

Nevertheless, Minghe was unwilling to take this shortcut because cultivation through merits was unpredictable. Moreover, all his merits had their own use. There was a Golden Wheel above Minghe’s Original Spirit in the center of Blood Sea, and this was a representation of all the merits that Minghe had obtained.

The Original Spirit had always been the most important part for cultivators. When one’s body was destroyed, it could be restored using the Original Spirit. When the Original Spirit was destroyed, one would be destroyed with no hopes of reincarnation. And a great number of Magic Weapons could cause damage to the Original Spirit in Untainted Land, so Minghe had to be very careful.

Hence, he made the Golden Wheel of Merit by using the Merit of Origin as the core, and combining the post-celestial merits of the Way of Heaven that he had gotten. The Golden Wheel of Merit was above his Original Spirit to protect it from any form of attack, even from demons. It acted as a simplified version of the Baraka Exquisite Pagoda, which was a post-celestial Treasure of Merits.

Minghe was not willing to destroy the Golden Wheel of Merit just for an unpredictable shortcut, and the Golden Wheel took a lot out of him before it was stabilized. Besides, cultivation was a path against the heaven, and only hard work and effort could lead to the Way of Great Way. Any shortcut, while seemingly useful now, would surely be only a route for destruction.

After giving up the first method, Minghe had to take the second one. Luckily, he was assisted by numerous Clones of Blood God which would accelerate his enlightenment on the Divine Law. The Clone of Blood God could contribute a lot to the prediction of techniques, but little to the cultivation itself through the Divine Laws. Though minimal as it was, Minghe was quite satisfied. As the old saying went "a contented mind is a perpetual feast".

"Mmm?" Minghe suddenly hummed. He was currently in Closed Door Meditation to gain enlightenment from the Divine Laws; both the Blood God Doppelgangers and the Clones of Blood God were linked to him mentally, and they would not disturb him for any reason, unless the war among the three tribes was about to end and the base camps were unprotected. But the war was not supposed to end so soon. It had only just begun!

Seeing the message from the Blood God Doppelgangers, Minghe was surprised at first, then exultant. "Hahaha! God has blessed me. I was always searching for you while traveling throughout Untainted Land, now you’re right before me. I’ll get you this time." Minghe stepped out and turned into a Cloud of Blood, flying towards Untainted Land.

??????????????????????????????

Inside a Spiritual Mountain somewhere in Untainted Land, lived the Golden Lion Tribe, one of the Beast Tribes ruled by the Kylins. Most of the tribesmen were on the battlefield of the war among the three tribes. The person remaining with the highest cultivation was their Third Elder, who was in the late stage of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortality realm.

One day, Third Elder was cultivating inside the mountain. Suddenly, a gust of wind brushed past him. He was attacked by something and lost consciousness. Then, a flash of blood aura taking human form emerged, it was one of Minghe’s Blood God Doppelgangers.

The Blood God Doppelganger was a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Adding on to his uniqueness and the ability to utilize the Power of Divine Laws, he would still stand a chance even if an Early Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was here. In addition, there were tens of thousands of Clones of Blood God hidden within each Blood God Doppelganger which could form diverse tactical formations when necessary. Even if the Blood God Doppelganger could not defeat his opponent, he could escape easily by sacrificing some Clones of Blood God.

After Third Elder fainted, the Blood God Doppelganger walked towards the Golden Lion Tribe’s treasure vault furtively. The treasure vault was protected by some tactical formations. It would attract other’s attention and war would break out if he tried to break them. Though Minghe was not afraid of killing, it did not seem reasonable to steal from others and kill them all. This was simply how he felt, his Core of Thoughts.

Minghe stunned Third Elder with a sneak attack, so he could steal treasure without attracting others. The tactical formations guarding the treasure vault was not as complicated as he had originally thought, so the Blood God Doppelganger went out with the formations silently and as easily as it had gone in.

After flying and submerging for a long time, the Blood God Doppelganger stopped and checked his gains. He was shocked to notice a small flag. This?! This was the Center Wuji Apricot Flag from the same origin as the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag! This was a Highest-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, and it had been thrown in the vault and treated like trash.

Um? The Blood God Doppelganger found that the Wuji Apricot Flag had been sealed with a restriction. Damn! The Blood God Doppelganger wanted to scold the foolish Golden Lion Tribe for sealing such a treasure. But frankly speaking, the Blood God Doppelganger was wrong about the Golden Lion Tribe.

The Golden Lion Tribe had just obtained the Wuji Apricot Flag. Ordinary treasures were spiritual, never mind the Highest-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. The tribe leader had tried to convert the flag, but since he was just at the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortality realm, he received resistance from the flag. It ended in a deadlock, so the tribe leader had no choice but to seal it and continue cultivating until he reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality realm.

However, with the outburst of the war among the three tribes, the tribe leader had been called out by the Forefather of the Kylin. Hence the conversion was put aside, providing Minghe with ample opportunity to pick up from what was left behind. The restriction seal on the flag was not too complex. These kinds of seals had originated from Minghe’s Enlightenment Tablet. Despite the small changes, it was a piece of cake for the Blood God Doppelganger to break the restriction.

Upon removal of the restriction, the Wuji Apricot Flag regained its vitality. Waves of spiritual air converted into ten thousands of golden lotuses, guarding the flag on both sides, and then the flag attempted to submerge into the sky. But there was no way the Blood God Doppelganger would let it go, for countless Clones of Blood God had made the Blood River Formation block its escape path. Upon the exertion of the Formation, the Blood Aura pervaded into the sky and absorbed the golden lotus gradually.
