The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe Chapter 31

After someone got in, those who were remaining naturally followed. They moved forward toward the chaos with their magic skills or magic weapons. Actually, the chaos was really dangerous, and plenty of cultivators died out of carelessness once they got through.

Looking around, Minghe didn't find Changxi and Wangshu. It seemed that they didn't get there to listen to Hongjun's preaching. With the Red Lotus of Fire, he could feel that they were still in the Lunar Star. Minghe would have been disappointed for their absence thousands of years ago, but at this moment, his mind was finally peaceful.

Whether one cultivator could comprehend a law depended on his lucky chance. After more and more cultivators got into the chaos, Minghe didn't hesitate and stepped in with no obstacles in his way. However, he had no idea where the Zixiao Palace was.

Soon after, a simple and unadorned palace appeared in front of him. What surprised him was that the Zixiao Palace seemed to find him by itself. When Minghe arrived at the palace, many cultivators had already arrived. He thought that this was the so-called fate.

At that moment, the gate didn't open, and all the cultivators were waiting outside. Minghe was in no hurry, looking at the cultivators that continued gathering there. After a while, there were thousands of cultivators standing outside the palace, and no others got through the chaos anymore.

Right at the moment, two young attendants opened the gate and walked out. One was a girl and the other was a boy. They were both cute and pretty, bowing to all the cultivators. They said, "Zixiao Palace is open for you all. This way, please." As soon as the two finished their words, all the cultivators couldn't wait to rush in.

Minghe was still in no hurry and walked slowly towards the palace. When passing by the two young attendants, he glanced at them several times, because he knew that they would someday be the Jade Emperor, Haotian, and the Queen Mother, Yaochi. The two were both in good health and also had outstanding qualities. Although they were still young children, they both had better cultivation than his Chixuan and Liuer.

In this palace, there were six cushions at the platform where Hongjun would do his preaching. Those six cushions looked as if they were very special, so all the cultivators rushed to swarm them.

Suddenly, all the others were forced back by a unified power, and then the three front cushions were occupied. They were Laozi, Tongtian, and the Primeval Lord of Heaven. When they stepped into the palace, they immediately felt that fate had given them the chance with these cushions. With their powerful cultivation, they easily got the first three with concerted efforts.

The others, finding the first three had been occupied, could only scramble for the remaining three. After all, the Zixiao Palace was a sacred place for the first Sage in Untainted Land to do his preaching, so no one dared to mess things up. Besides, they all knew that the Three Pristine Ones were all at high levels, so no one would rob the seats from them.

Among the crowd, Fuxi protected his sister, Goddess Nyuwa, all the way, and directly pushed her onto the fourth cushion. He had planned to get the fifth one, but two shadows flew over him and directly occupied the next two seats.

On the fifth seat, there was a Taoist with hawk eyes and a crooked nose, who was a Kunpeng Taoist born in the Sea of Northern Underworld. On the next cushion, there sat a Taoist dressed in red, who was a Hongyun Ancestor, formed by a red cloud. They were able to win the cushions by relying on their fast speed.

Finding all the six seats had been occupied, the rest had to give up and looked for another place to sit, waiting for the Sage, Hongjun, to do his preaching. However, there was a person who didn't scramble with the others at all for any seat. That was Minghe, actually. When he stepped into this palace, he found a remote corner to sit in, looking coldly from the sidelines at these busy cultivators.

Minghe had already known that the six cushions represented six sage seats, which were definitely important for someone to become a sage. If Minghe wanted one seat, he must have the chance to get one. However, he had no interests in this, because becoming a Sage of the Heavenly Way needed to rely his Original Spirit on the Way of Heaven of Untainted Land, which had both gains and losses. In the long run, the losses would be larger than the gains.

A sage needed to put his Original Spirit on the Way of Heaven of Untainted Land so that he wouldn't die until heaven was destroyed. Besides, they could borrow part of the power from the Way of Heaven. However, if Untainted Land was destroyed, the sage might not get his Original Spirit back, so he would disappear with Untainted Land.

Although it might take a very long time for Untainted Land to be destroyed, Minghe thought he needed to avoid any possibility, so he needed to be powerful himself. At this moment, Minghe had found his way to the Tao, so the so-called sage of the Heavenly Way held no attraction for him.

After a sweeping look through the palace, Minghe found that there were 2,998 cultivators, including himself. Hardly did he feel confused when two cultivators suddenly broke into the palace. Obviously, the two had suffered a lot in the chaos, so they looked extremely embarrassed. With those two, there were 3,000 cultivators in this palace, which was just right, who were the so-called 3,000 guests from the world of mortals.

One of the two was Jie Yin of the west, who was pulling a long face and seemed that he just recovered from a dangerous illness. The other was the most shameless person in Untainted Land, Zhunti. He had a square face and big ears, which showed a prosperous look. They were from the west, so they were obviously later to get there than the other cultivators.

When finding there were no seats left, Zhunti felt worried at once and looked at his senior, Jieyin. Jieyin was also speechless and sighed slightly. Seeing this, Zhunti became a little bit angry and said, "Brother, we struggle to get here from the far west to find out the methods to save the mortal lives, only to find that there is not a seat left for us at all. We will feel guilty about ourselves if we can't listen clearly to the Great Way, and then, we should die of our shame." Saying this, he pretended to knock into a pillar.

Actually, there were quite lots of fools in this world, like Hongyun. When seeing Zhunti trying to commit suicide, Hongyun was worried about him and immediately stood up, saying, "My Fellow Taoist, you are really an insistent and wise person. I respect your stronger mind for the mortals, so I give up my seat for you."

Hearing Hongyun's words, Zhunti sat on this seat at once, adjusting his body. Then, he turned back and said in an extremely shameless way to Hongyun, "Thank you so much, and I will accept your goodness."

Hongyun was really an honest person. He didn't seem mad even after seeing Zhunti's behavior, and then he found a seat to sit down behind Zhenyuanzi. However, seeing this, the others all showed their contempt for Zhunti. When Zhunti sat down, he tried to say hello to the people around him, but no one wanted to chat with him except the Primeval Lord of Heaven.

Suddenly, Zhunti turned around and got mad at Kunpeng, saying, "This place is where the sage makes his preaching. How could you, a stupid feathered animal, sit beside me? Why not give up your seat for my brother?" Hearing this, the Primeval Lord of Heaven also chimed in and said, "Right! We can't sit with a feathered animal born from an egg. Leave now!"

Laozi said nothing and seemed that he didn't hear what the Primeval Lord of Heaven had said, so did Tongtian. The Goddess Nyuwa was not happy about this situation because she was one of the Demon Tribe. It seemed that the Primeval Lord of Heaven's mean words towards Kunpeng were also related to her. However, Goddess Nyuwa didn't want to contract enmity with the others, so she closed her eyes and had a rest as Laozi did. Noticing the hostile expression on the others' faces, Kunpeng said nothing and got up from his seat. When he walked by Hongyun, he glared at him angrily.

Jie Yin naturally sat down on Kunpeng's seat, which definitely made Kunpeng mad at Hongyun. Without Hongyun's giving it up, Kunpeng wouldn't have been pushed aside by the others and lost his seat. Actually, Hongyun didn't realize the madness from Kunpeng, as he was sitting beside his best friend, Zhenyuanzi, chatting with him.

A wintry smile showed on Minghe's face. He thought that Zhunti was really shameless and the Primeval was also a narrow-minded person. Then, looking at Hongyun who stayed not far away, Minghe smiled more deeply. Actually, Hongyun was famous for his yes-man attitude towards everyone. With his good strength and being friends with Zhenyuanzi, he was doing well in Untainted Land.

However, in Minghe's view, Hongyun was courting death, because his nosy habit would make him twist with a lot of Karma, which was one of the most terrible things for a cultivator. Especially this time, if he didn't give up his seat first, Kunpeng wouldn't have lost his. This would leave great Karma for him and it was not easy to end.

Minghe didn't care about the life and death of Hongyun, but what he really cared about was whether Hongyun would get the Foundation of the Tao, like in the novels that he read. If so, he was afraid that Hongyun must die in the end, because Kunpeng would be the one who wanted to kill him.
