The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Chapter 3: Prediction of the Transforming Exercises

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Clenching his fist, faint amazement appeared in Minghe’s expression. It was inevitable. He was just an ordinary mortal in his preexistence, how could he accept having such a strong power out of the blue? Earlier, he had thought that his repaired Original Spirit was impressive enough, but now that he had his real body, he felt even stronger.

Before he shapeshifted, Minghe had planned on resisting Tribulation Thunder with his flesh, and that would help to shape his real body. When he reached the limit, he would use some of the magic weapons to protect himself. However, to his surprise, a flash of purple thunder emerged from his Original Spirit and absorbed a great deal of the energy from Tribulation Thunder.

Minghe was the Primordial Mazinger, and his Shapeshifting Tribulation was Primordial Eighty One Tribulation Thunder whose power was strong enough to kill Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Even so, the purple thunder from his Original Spirit could still consume most of the power from Tribulation Thunder. That was really amazing.

After Minghe’s body manifested, a thunder mark was imprinted between his eyebrows. He also received a message of this thunder at the same time, which was called Zixiao Thunder. It was worth mentioning that Divine Thunder of Chaos ranked top among Holy Thunders of Untainted Land, followed by Purpleheaven Thunder.

Minghe’s Purpleheaven Thunder was the first of its kind, born at the time when Pangu separated the heaven and the earth and disappearing at the appearance of the Way of Heaven. It somehow struck Minghe in his previous life and brought his soul back to the beginning of Untainted Land.

However, Purpleheaven Thunder was not that easy to use. Minghe’s body was complete and he had even reached the early stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. His supernatural power was robust, many times stronger than the ordinary early stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Even so, using Purpleheaven Thunder even once would deplete nearly all of his supernatural power. Considering the lethal power of Purpleheaven Thunder, Minghe thought he could use it as his last resort.

Minghe’s initial plan after regaining his physical form was to travel throughout the Untainted Land and hunt for priceless treasures. However, with Purpleheaven Thunder, he realized his exercise methods still needed improvement. Besides, he only had 36 million Clones of Blood Gods at the moment. Before leaving, he needed to create at least 480 million of them to ensure that his stronghold would be firm enough.

The creation of 480 million Clones of Blood Gods was truly a grand project, taking Minghe almost 130 thousand years to complete. However, what made him feel a little pity was that in order to make up the consumption of his Original Spirit for nourishing Clone of Blood Gods, he had nearly used up all Three Light Holy Water, which had emerged from Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

However, with the 480 million Clones of Blood Gods at the early stage of Primordial Unity Black Immortal guarding Blood Sea, and with Blood River Formation, Blood Sea would be peaceful. No one would probably dare encroach his Blood Sea as it was deadly to other creatures except Minghe. It wouldn’t be a joke to get the blood on one’s body.

Besides, with 480 million Clones of Blood Gods, Minghe’s prediction skill could be greatly improved. It was as if Minghe was the CPU of a central computer, and each Clone of Blood God was a smaller one. A powerful CPU supported by 480 million smaller CPUs would greatly enhance his prediction skill.

The transforming exercises predicted by 36 million Clones of Blood Gods had its flaws. Ideally, he wanted the transforming exercises to work both internally and externally. But the transforming exercises by Clones of Blood God were still lacking. And now that Minghe had Purpleheaven Thunder, he could finetune his body with the Thunder, making it a far superior method.

Besides, Minghe still needed to deduce some other magic skills, such as swordsmanship, the technique of flying, tactical formations, the law of refining elixir, and the art of refining tools. With the help of his Clones of Blood God, Minghe could make his predictions and practical experiments at the same time. After all, as the old saying went, genuine knowledge came from practice.

However, there were no other things around except blood and the evil spirits, so Minghe tried to focus on places beyond the Blood Sea. Blood Sea was located in the southwest of Untainted Land. Due to the existence of Blood Sea, the surrounding regions were almost turned into uninhabited lands.

This made things convenient for Minghe. He triggered thousands of his Clones of Blood God and made them carry as many types of soil, spiritual roots, minerals, and spiritual products to Blood Sea as possible. He then used his supernatural power to compress all these things into an island, suspended over the middle of Blood Sea.

However, the Evil Blood Aura from Blood Sea was too filthy, and this suspending island couldn’t stand the erosion of it. A tactical formation was the only way to isolate the Evil Blood Aura. Minghe currently knew just one kind of tactical formation that could gather the Evil Blood Aura, named Blood River Formation. But the formation was not suitable for the protection of the island.

But the same result could be achieved in different ways. Minghe had a thorough understanding of Blood River Formation. Coupled with the strong deductive ability of his Clones of Blood God, Minghe planned to deduce several useful formations as a precaution against unexpected circumstances.

For thousands of years, Blood Sea was rocked with all kinds of explosions and noises. All those time, Minghe had never stopped his deduction. The suspending island over Blood Sea had also seen great changes, finally looking like a home worthy for immortals. Thus, Minghe named it Sacred Island.

With picturesque sceneries, this island was full of birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers, with fowls and beasts romping about. 64 flags were erected around the island, forming a formation to protect it. This formation was called Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation. With extremely powerful defense strength, this formation included Confusion Formation, Trapping Formation, and Killing Formation. The formation could also gather spirits, which was also one of its special traits.

Unlike Untainted Land, Blood Sea was too remote to gather the Spiritual Air. The modified exercise methods still needed the Spiritual Air. After deducing Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation, Minghe also refined a Blood Spilling Trigram Furnace as the eye of his formation. This Trigram Furnace was Postcelestial Spiritual Treasure of the highest grade. It formed the finest Postcelestial Merit Spiritual Treasure after getting the postcelestial Merit from Untainted Land’s Evil Blood Aura attracted by Blood River Formation.

Blood Spilling Trigram Furnace was capable of refining Evil Blood Aura into Spiritual Air. As a result, Spiritual Air was found in abundance in Sacred Island, making it a rare blessed land in the savage region. A quaint, antique cottage sat in the middle of the island, its door bearing a plaque with the charming words, Knowledge Villa.

In the main yard, Minghe sat on a stone bench. He admired the jade slip in his hand, with a satisfied expression. This jade slip had cost him thousands of years of painstaking efforts, recording all his transforming exercises, magic skills, the technique of flying and submergence, the void swordsmanship, tactical formations, law of refining elixir, and law of refining tools, which were all deduced by him.

His exercise methods were formerly named Blood Sea Mystical Skill, but Minghe thought it was too old-fashioned, so he changed it into Arcane Blood Thunder Incantation. The content was divided into two parts: Manual of Original Spirit and Refining Body Manual. The former was based on Blood Sea Mystical Skill, further optimized by his prediction.

As for the Refining Body Manual, the evolution of his flesh would continue until he achieved the physical body of Rakshasa. This was a blasphemous and dangerous path. But wasn’t attaining his body a blasphemous act in itself? Then there was no longer any reason to hesitate.

As for the magic skills Minghe created, he invented three more apart from Clones of Blood God in his primordial inheritance. The first could be called Deceiving Eyes, which he could direct attacks targeted at him towards his Clones of Blood God. When he received lethal attacks, he could even make them ward off those attacks. Naturally, this was all based on his experiments with his Clones of Blood. He had yet to experience any actual combat yet.

The second skill was Blood God Transformation, a divine beast transforming skill. Minghe thought it was not that useful for him, but he could still pass it on his disciples. Ordinary transformation skills were just specious, but Blood God Transformation was different.

The so-called Blood God Transformation was a transforming skill containing 108 kinds of Ploughs and Evils, which could transform the bearer into 108 kinds of divine beasts. But to truly command the power of the divine beasts, the bearer had to mix the blood essences of all the beasts. It so happened that those beasts were common throughout Blood Sea. This kind of transforming skill posed little use to Minghe, but it was good enough to pass onto to his disciples and followers.

For that, Minghe made a slight change in the Blood River Formation. He extradited the different races to the different regions in Blood Sea, so he could just remove the evil spirit from the blood if he needed any particular kind.

The third skill was Blood Burning Tactic. He could enhance his power by burning his blood, but it was a deathly tactic that would consume his life. It could not be utilized until truly necessary. Again, Minghe felt that it was useless for himself but he could teach it to his apprentices.

Other than those skills, Minghe had predicted out two kinds of techniques of flying and submergence. One was a flying technique, called Cloud Escaping Blood. He could travel 200 thousand miles in a second, and few in Untainted Land could catch up to him. The other one was a combat technique, dubbed Blood Shadow Movement. Using it in the combat, he could enhance his speed, forming a shadow of blood. When he refined to its highest level, he could turn into nine bloody shadows.

As for swordsmanship, Minghe had a deep comprehension of Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, and thus created a new swordsmanship he called Boundless Sword Incantation. From its name, it was evident that the swordsmanship was made of myriads of changes. Although this swordsmanship only contained Rain of Blood and Evil Blood Destroyer, each one was full of danger.

As for tactical formations, Minghe was in fact gifted in it. Besides Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation, he had also invented two kinds of formations. One was Two Blood Rite Killing Formation. If Minghe made the formation with Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, few in Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm could defeat him. That formation was doubtlessly among the best in Untainted Land.

Another one was Red Blood Lotus Killing Formation. This formation was based on Evil Blood Aura and Red Lotus Fire, meant to kill his enemies. Without special magic skills or the highest grade of Primordial Spiritual Treasure for defense, the person trapped in this formation would have little chance of survival.

Lastly, Minghe may not be particularly talented at the law of refining elixirs and tools, but with his cheating prediction skill, he did find out some important laws about refining elixir and tools. For example, Refining Blood Technique required the mixing of different kinds of blood essence with medicinal substances and minerals to refine elixir and tools. The effect was not bad, but it needed improvement.

Now that everything was ready, Minghe started to prepare for his first travel around Untainted Land. Although his cultivation was at the level of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, his mind didn’t catch up with that. In the end, he still maintained some of his habits from his previous life. Thus he decided to go down to the mortal world to experience the different kinds of lives there.

Untainted Land at the moment was still peaceful and safe, but nobody knew what would happen in the future. Many cultivators would die each Cultivation Tribulation, some of which were the Primordial Mazingers like Minghe. To put it bluntly, in this world of power, only the strong had the right to set the rules and talk about mercy.
