Chapter 205: Arrangement
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In the Blood Sea, Minghe looked at Kunpeng in the Northern Underworld with a smile. Although he had let go of Kunpeng this time, he had cut off options for Kunpeng to seek refuge with other Sages, G.o.ddess Nvywa especially. It seemed that G.o.ddess Nvywa had intended to kill Kunpeng but hadn"t yet since Minghe had interfered. Given the right opportunity, G.o.ddess Nvywa would definitely kill him.
As the Demon Master of the Demon Tribe, Kunpeng had created the Demon characters just like Cangjie had done for the Human Tribe, so he enjoyed some Luck from the Demon Tribe. If Kunpeng resorted to Minghe, some of the Luck would be taken away. G.o.ddess Nvywa, as the Sage of the Demon Tribe, was not going to let this happen. The most secure way was to kill Kunpeng and the reason why he was still alive now was that the Luck hadn"t been decreasing as of yet.
But the meeting between Kunpeng and Minghe was difficult to let go for her. Once she spotted any decrease in Luck, she would kill Kunpeng immediately and ignore Minghe"s deal with him. The Demon Tribe was declining, and it would never rise again if the Luck was lost.
Actually, Minghe had no intention of taking Kunpeng in. It was not easy to do so, judging from his escape during the decisive battle between the Wu and Demon Tribes. Although Minghe had the power to conquer him, he was afraid that he would escape again at critical moments.
Despite the fact, Minghe still had another plan just in case Kunpeng dared to expose the Chaos; he would kill him in person. Minghe could kill anyone as he wished. Even if the Sages wanted to protect him.
What Minghe was concerned about was the Chaos. He reached out his hands and a visional map appeared in his hands. It had been drawn based on Kunpeng"s trip to the Chaos. The map had recorded everything he"d met in the Chaos.
Looking at this map, Minghe was yearning. Previously, he had been busy helping the Human Tribe select the Three Royals and Five Emperors, so he had had to let his Good Separation force Kunpeng to go to the Chaos. Now that the stuff with the Human Tribe was over and there were thousands of years before the G.o.d Deification Ceremony, he could tour the Chaos.
Currently, both Minghe and the Three Separations had actualized the Realm of Origin. The combination of Minghe"s Middle Stage of Origin and the Three Separations" Early Stage of Origin would terrify all the Sages. Moreover, the Evil Separation, Red Lotus Taoist was about to make a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Origin and Minghe"s power would be lifted again then.
Minghe waved his hands, summoning all Three Separations quickly. The Good separation, the Heaven and Earth Taoist, and the Evil Separation, Red Lotus Taoist, were already in the Blood Sea. They arrived in mere seconds. Musen, however, was in the Human Tribe and took some time to get there after receiving the order.
This was the first time Minghe and the Three Separations had gathered together. Even though the Three Separations were Minghe"s Incarnations, they were different from each other.
The trip to the Chaos was a serious matter. He had to discuss it with them. Once all Three Separations were present, Minghe said, "I have forced Kunpeng to tour the Chaos, and now he is back. Since he has brought back some interesting news, I"m determined to make a trip to the Chaos. I convene you three to ask for your advice."
The Three Separations fell into silence. Then the Self-centric Separation, Musen, said, "Your Veneration, I have just reached the Realm of Origin, and the Realm is not fully stable yet. I"m afraid I can"t go with you. In addition, the Human Tribe needs me, so I"m staying in Untainted Land this time."
Minghe nodded, showing his agreement. At present, the Human Tribe had become the leading role of Untainted Land and occupied over half of the Luck. Minghe valued Musen"s Luck in the Human Tribe highly and didn"t want anything to go wrong. Over the years, Minghe and Musen had rapidly improved their cultivations largely due to the luck. With Musen protecting the Luck of the Human Tribe, Minghe was more relieved.
The Red Lotus Taoist said, "Your Veneration, right now I have balanced the Principle of Karma and the Law of Killing, so it"s time to move forward. By the time I absorb the Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, the Red Lotus of Fire will embrace its Fulfilment and my cultivation will reach another Breakthrough. Since Your Veneration is going to the Chaos, I"m staying to guard the Blood Sea and to coordinate with Musen.
Minghe thought this proposal was rational. After all, the Blood Sea was his Stronghold and near to the Nether World. If there was no one to protect his place, he would be concerned. By the time the Red Lotus Taoist reached the Middle Stage of Origin, he would be capable to handle any events even if confronted by the Sages.
The Heaven and Earth Taoist took out his Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen. He presented them to the Red Lotus Taoist, saying, "Since it is so, I"d like to give the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen to my Fellow Taoist. Take care of the Nether World, please."
The Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen in the Nether World were actually projections of these two treasures. Only by controlling these two treasures could one manage to control the Nether World. Since the Red Lotus Taoist was staying in Untainted Land, he could care for the Nether World with these two treasures and pay special attention to the guy in Pingxin City.
Minghe looked at the Heaven and Earth Taoist, laughing. He said, "I know you can"t help going with me.
It is a good thing I have you as company. I was meant to bring you. This trip, after all, is tailored for you.
The Heaven and Earth Taoist laughed and said, "Your Veneration you do know me. I cultivate the advancement of worlds. I have managed to advance the World of Heaven and Earth into a small chiliocosm, but a further evolution requires a long-time acc.u.mulation, which is a slow process. This trip to the Chaos will offer me something."
Minghe nodded again, saying, "Well, I guess this is it. Please take care of Untainted Land even though no significant events are likely to happen. Given the opportunity, you two may commence arranging the G.o.d Deification Ceremony."
The Red Lotus Taoist and Musen nodded and then went away, leaving Minghe and the Heaven and Earth Taoist. The Heaven and Earth Taoist said, "Your Veneration since we"re going to the Chaos, should we notify Liu Er and Kong Xuan? They have reached Sage-to-be and it"s time for them to gain more experience in the Untainted Land. It"s not a good thing to stay in the Blood Sea all the time."
Minghe agreed. It seemed that Liu Er and Kong Xuan had become Sages-to-be in the blink of an eye. The third disciple, Black Tortoise, hadn"t shown up yet. He was like Minghe"s preexistence. Except for when they a.s.sisted the Human Sovereign, Liu Er and Kong Xuan had never left the Blood Sea. It was time for them to go out and practice.
Minghe waved his sleeves, summoning Liu Er and Kong Xuan who were quite confused. Minghe said, "I call you two here to inform you that I"m going to the Chaos. The trip may be as short as several hundred years, or as long as several thousand. During my absence, the Evil Separation, the Red Lotus Taoist, and the Selfcentric Separation, Musen will take charge of everything. You two can take advice from them as well."
Liu Er and Kong Xuan saluted, saying, "We will obey your orders." Kong Xuan was serene about this, but Liu Er appeared to be overjoyed. Previously, Liu Er had dared not to do anything outrageous. He"d been kept on the rails as Minghe was here.
Now that Minghe was going to the Chaos, he could be free. Although the Evil Separation was here, he was not Minghe in person, after all.
Minghe was unable to do anything about the cheerful Liu Er, who had retained his naughty character.
Indeed, it had been hard for Liu Er to stay confined for the past years. Minghe said, "During my absence, you can tour Untainted Land. It"s up to you whether you want to gain enlightenment or recruit disciples."
With that, Liu Er jumped up, saying gladly, "Your Veneration is truly wise. I have been longing to
tour Untainted Land for a long time." Conversely, Kong Xuan behaved quite calmly. He was the most mature one among the three disciples.
Minghe continued saying, "Liu Er, although you have achieved the Good Separation and Evil Separation, you can"t loosen your cultivation. By the way, you are going to seek the last one of the Four Monkeys of Destruction. The Good Separation and Evil Separation are easy to achieve, not for the obsession. I hope you can enlighten your obsession during this tour to Untainted Land. Otherwise, you will never reach the Origin."
Liu Er nodded with a smile. It was unknown whether he had taken Minghe"s words seriously since his mind was already wandering to Untainted Land. Ever since he began to cultivate under Minghe"s guidance, he had been secluded from Untainted Land. Now that he had an opportunity to go out, he would enjoy himself as much as he could. As for recruiting disciples, that would be up to his mood.
