The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe Chapter 49

The newly-born White Lotus of Purity had just reached third-grade and needed more time for improvement. Minghe had no idea how far it would grow in the end, and only God could decide. Moreover, Minghe did not plan on allowing the Red Lotus of Fire swallow the White Lotus of Purity.

After swallowing three ninth-grade green lotuses and a12-grade Black Lotus of Destructions, the Red Lotus of Fire reached 21-grade. However, Minghe found its flaw in that the three origins coexisted in the Red Lotus of Fire. Although Red Lotus Taoist possessed three powers at the same time, it could be quite dangerous.

The forces of fate and destruction contradicted each other. Once attacked by a strong external power, they could damage the Red Lotus of Fire. Red Lotus Taoist had to make sure the origin of the Red Lotus of Fire completely absorbed the forces of fate and destruction as he cultivated it.

Even though this method would result in the Red Lotus of Fire losing the power of fate and destruction, but it was a safer option for the long haul. More than that, the origin of the Red Lotus of Fire could also be improved this way. Everything came at a cost. Minghe understood there were no such things as perfection. A content mind was indeed a perpetual feast.

While Red Lotus Taoist was busy controlling the Red Lotus of Fire to absorb the forces of fate and destruction, Minghe was enlightening the Divine Law and cultivating his flesh. He also sent his Blood God Doppelganger to Wuzhuang Taoist Temple to keep an eye on Hongyun. Once Hongyun or some other people made a move, he would be informed instantly.

As for Heaven and Earth Taoist, he was converting 24 Sea-Protection Pearls. In Investiture of the Gods (ancient Chinese mythical fiction), Dipankara Taoist used the Ruler of Heaven and Earth and the 24 Sea-Protection Pearls transformed the 24 Heavens and enabled it to absorb living beings and items and enhance the power of attacks. The Taoist even attacked Tongtian Sage with this treasure. The power of the 24 Sea-Protection Pearls was terrifying, obviously.

According to legends, the Chaos Pearls broke into pieces during the separation of heaven and earth, one of which was the Sea-Protection Pearls. Minghe did not plan to predict the Sea-Protection Pearl and it was nearly impossible. Consequently, he did not bother wasting time and energy.

There was still a long way to go for the complete conversion of 24 Sea-Protection Pearls, as was the prediction of the 24 Heavens. Things could not be rushed. The original form of Heaven and Earth Taoist was the Map of Heaven and Earth containing the world of Heaven and Earth. For Heaven and Earth Taoist who was an expert in the Law of Heaven and Earth, it was nothing difficult to predict the 24 Heavens.

Yet it was not his plan to convert the 24 Heavens from the 24 Sea-Protection Pearls. Instead, he planned to convert the pearls into his world of Heaven and Earth to strengthen its origin. That was a suggestion from Minghe.

Despite sounding like a material world, it was merely a fictitious space. A real world like Untainted Land, with complete Divine Laws, was able to birth countless creatures.

Although Spiritual Roots and products were plantable in the world of Heaven and Earth, it lacked the Divine Law and could not birth creatures. What Minghe wanted to do was transforming it into a real world and expanding it, even if it was a low-grade Xiaoqian World (consisting of 1,000 universes).

The world classified into several grades, namely Xiaoqian World, Zhongqian World (consisting of 1000 Xiaoqian Worlds), Daqian World (consisting of Zhongqian Worlds) and above. Minghe had no idea about the grades beyond, nor which grade Untainted World was in. If the world of Heaven and Earth was converted into Xiaoqian World, the potential of Heaven and Earth Taoist would match that of Red Lotus Taoist.

Compared to the time the Map of Heaven and Earth was just newly attained, the world of Heaven and Earth had witnessed much improvement. Minghe had planted numerous Spiritual Roots of various origins to strengthen the power of The Divine Law. In addition, he also attained several dragon veins to improve the leylines power of the world.

If he expanded the world this way, it would take forever for the evolution of the world of Heaven and Earth to take place. But as long as Minghe could mesh the 24 Heavens with the world, he could significantly improve its origin.

Thinking about this, Minghe slapped his forehead. He really was too stupid. Since the Sea-Protection Pearls could strengthen the world of heaven and earth, perhaps the Five Elements Spiritual Bead and Four Signs Spiritual Bead could do the same.

The Five Elements Spiritual Bead could convert the Five Element Divine Law of the world, and the Four Signs Spiritual Bead could convert Dragon, White Tiger, and Suzaku which could stabilize the four poles of the world. By then, the strength of the world would improve remarkably. If possible, Minghe had to reassess the Merit body of Heaven and Earth Taoist.

If the world of Heaven and Earth could evolve into Xiaoqian World, the strength of Heaven and Earth Taoist would be significantly improved. It would not be surprising if his power would be close to that of a Sage's. Once it grew into a world as vast as Untainted Land, then Heaven and Earth Taoist could own the power similar to the Way of Heaven.

These thoughts excited Minghe. The tour to the Treasure Gifting Rock gained him some treasures. Even though there were not many, but they were all destined for him and were quite useful. The quality of treasures overtook its quantity.

It was conceivable that when Minghe's original body, Good Separation, and Evil Separation reached the Origin Way of Great Way, even at the level of the lowest Early Stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal of Origin, he would have discourse power. Who would dare to belittle him then?

Hongyun hunkered on a cloud bed in Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, laboriously enlightening the Hong Meng Immortal Qi of Original Spirit in the hope of getting something. However, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi was too tricky. Minghe got nothing out of over 1,000 years, making him feel incredibly helpless.

"Perhaps I'm really not fated for the Foundation of Great Way?" Hongyun complained to himself. "Oh, Hong Meng Immortal Qi, I've tried to gain enlightenment from you for over 1,000 years, but you still show no reaction. Why did you choose me in the first place if we're not destined?"

After so many years without results, Hongyun began to suspect his fate with the Foundation of Great Way. Did he really have to give up? In fact, he knew that it was not Hong Meng Immortal Qi that chose him, but rather Hongjun who chose him as the start of the Cultivation Tribulation.

As Hongyun was stewing in his frustration, Zhenyuanzi opened the door and walked in. Seeing Hong Yuan's frowning face, he asked, "How did it go? Still nothing?" Hongyun nodded helplessly.

Zhenyuanzi frowned. "Hongyun, it's been over 1,000 years yet there's still no reaction. How… how about... " Zhenyuanzi went no further since it was hard to say so, especially to his good friend.

Hongyun looked up at the hesitating Zhenyuanzi and sighed. "I know what you are going to say. After such a long period, I still get no reaction. Perhaps this Hong Meng Immortal Qi is not fated with me. You want to tell me to give up, don't you?"

Zhenyuanzi nodded. He did want to do so, but he could not bring himself to say it. After all, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi represented glory and a Fated Chance for every seeker of Great Way. Convincing a person to leave the chance was like blocking his fortune. Furthermore, the person was his long-time bosom friend.

Hongyun said with a complicated expression, "I understand your worries. Not only did I fail at enlightening the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, I might bring a fatal disaster upon myself. Perhaps it's not meant to be, but it's so unfair! I've fought in Untainted Land for hundreds of millions of years, but why isn't this treasure fated with me? I'm unwilling to give up! The Way of Heaven is unfair!"

Facing a Hongyun who seemed a little off his rocker, Zhenyuanzi did not know how to continue and comforted him. "Perhaps your Fated Chance has not arrived. You may continue your enlightenment. I just stopped by to tell that I gained some enlightenment about the Way of the Three Separations recently and needed to make my separations through Closed Door Meditation. During my meditation, you must definitely not go out!"

Even without Zhenyuanzi's warning, Hongyun knew that there were at least thousands of Da Luo Golden Immortals out there. Never mind the handful of Sages-to-be hiding among them. The reason why they did not launch an attack was that they were not fully-prepared. Perhaps none of them was willing to take the lead.

"I understand. Zhenyuanzi, go and start your Closed Door Meditation." After seeing Hongyun nod, Zhenyuanzi took his leave. If Zhenyuanzi succeeded in his separation, his strength would significantly improve and he could have a better control of the following situation. There was not yet a Sage-to-be in his Late Stage in Untainted Land.
