Chapter 22: Ten Thousand of Years in Untainted Land
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Heaven had rained down merits twice on Blood Sea, this was naturally noticed by everyone in Untainted Land especially Hongjun of Mount Yujing who had just returned. The Cultivation Tribulation had just ended, and the heavenly opportunity was obvious. Naturally, it would not be missed from Hongjun"s prediction. Hongjun sighed and said, "Oh! Luohou, you"ve escaped from death once already, why do you need to be so greedy?" Wrongdoings from heaven could be forgiven, but if wrongdoing was done on purpose by oneself, there were responsibilities to be realized.
After Luohou self-exploded, he had used the Black Lotus of Destructions, carrying a residual of his soul, to escape and managed to escape unharmed from the Cultivation Tribulation. But he was obsessed with the movements from Blood Sea. To him, if it were not for the two abnormal movements of Blood Sea, he would not have been exposed so quickly and defeated by Hongjun.
One could not be too sure of anything, who knew that Blood Sea would become Luohou"s burial ground. This benefited Minghe as he got a Top Grade Primordial Supreme Treasure, the G.o.d-killing Spear, and a Highest Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Black Lotus of Destruction. Minghe was elated.
Within the Untainted Land, there were limited Primordial Spiritual Treasures and the powerful ones like the Primordial Supreme Treasure and Primordial Spiritual Treasure were even less. Now Minghe"s a.s.sets could be considered so wealthy that aside from Hongjun, even The Sages of the future could not compare to him.
The man was faulted, not by himself, but through what he had, and Minghe understood what that meant. Since The Sage was yet to be born Minghe was still safe. But now Hongjun"s Three Separations had been separated and would become a Sage at any moment. He listed out a few Sages of the Heavenly Way. Once they entered the Sage realm, Minghe would not be able to avoid being found and eyed upon.
A huge sense of insecurity disturbed Minghe. Strength. He had the need for strength so desperately. No doubt Spiritual Treasures were good, but they were just items. Only if one was powerful, then one would not be controlled by the Spiritual Treasures and lose ones" Core of Thoughts and be troubled by it.
But the cultivation way of Divine Law was not something that could be rushed. It required years of Enlightenment. If it was possible to understand it overnight that would be great, but that was not something that one could get simply by wishing. To cultivate the Divine Law using the purusa combined with the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth plus Zixiao Thunder together refined the body. The purusa and flesh went hand in hand, and then the Great Waycould be expected.
Time. What Minghe needed the most now was time, if only... "Hey!" Minghe suddenly breathed out a deep sigh and drops of cold sweat emerged on his forehead. That was close. While he was daydreaming, Minghe caught himself just in time when he realized that his thoughts were unstable. Cultivation was already going against the will of Heaven, and if he were to keep worrying about what-ifs, this would cause evil to set in his heart and his cultivation would never be improved.
It was better to treasure the present rather than to ponder about what would happen in the future. Having just received Luohou"s G.o.d-killing Spear and the Black Lotus of Destruction, upon close examination, he realized that the two treasures had been badly damaged during the war between Luohou and Hongjun. While the G.o.d-killing Spear was still alright (Minghe only needed some Blood Sea origin and infinite Evil Spirit to repair it), the Black Lotus of Destructions was different.
The Black Lotus of Destructions was severely damaged and most of its origin was already consumed. Even if he let it rest to recover part of its origin and regain its Highest Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure power, due to the damage, it could not produce any more lotus seeds and had lost its ability to level up.
Minghe"s twelve-grade Red Lotuses of Fire origin was complete. If it was able to absorb the three nine grades of Green Lotus of Fate grown from the three green lotus seeds, it could obtain a large portion of the Green Lotus of Fate"s origin. This would give it a great opportunity to break through the Primordial Spiritual Treasure"s limits and become a Primordial Supreme Treasure, but the Black Lotus of Destructions had already lost its opportunity.
In this case, by allowing the Red Lotus of Fire to consume the Black Lotus of Destructions, it may advance to an even more powerful Primordial Supreme Treasure. As of this moment, it could barely do so. It needed further improvements and the help of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to a.s.sist it in consuming the 3 nine grades of Green Lotus of Fate and the twelve-grade of Black Lotus of Destructions.
To further understand the Divine Law, time was needed. Another option was the Way of the Three Separations. Minghe suddenly thought of Hongjun"s Way of Three Separations and his battle with Luohou. Though Minghe was at Blood Sea, he pictured it clear as day.
But Hongjun had not been ordained, thus was not able to preach. Minghe was unable to gather information about the Way of the Three Separations. Regardless of whether he was able to locate Hongjun, and even if he was found, Minghe might get what he wished for anyway. As the saying went, "If there"s a will, there"s a way." If Hongjun was able to understand the Way of the Three Separations, Minghe might be able to understand it too.
Picking up the Magical Tao Mirror and sacrificing countless Spiritual Products, Minghe started to predict the Way of the Three Separations. Luckily Hongjun had used the Three Separations and Minghe had recorded a little of their vital force. With these little bits of vital force and understanding, it might be possible to do a reverse insight into the Way of the Three Separations. "Who knows, it might work and produce results."

Once the Cultivation Tribulation was over and Untainted Land had recovered, the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin went into hiding. The hundred tribes began to live their lives in peace. The creatures of Untainted Land were able to cultivate much more smoothly and many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals began springing up. Untainted Land had entered its golden age.
In the center of Untainted Land, a ten million miles away, there was a holy mountain. With the rainbow, the sun and the moon shining down, trees of old age scattered the land and rain brought a refreshing scent to the area. There was a cave with exotic flowers and raw silk. Green patches of gra.s.s grew beside the bridge, blooming red peaches lined the whole ridge and velvet green long-gra.s.s grew outside the cave.
This was the famous Mount Kunlun. In the center of the cave, three people were sitting on cushions, an old man with a long, white beard, a handsome man of forty old years and a twenty year old man with thick eyebrows shaped like swords. The three of them had pieces of the Cloud of Blessings forming together as one above their heads as they tried to gain enlightenment on the Way of Dao. They were the Three Pristine Taoists formed by Pangu"s purusa.
The old man with the white beard was the leader known as Laozi, Lord of the Way and its Virtue of the "Grand Pure One". The middle-aged man was Yu Qing, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, and the young man was Tongtian, the Shangqing Spiritual Lord of Heaven. Above their heads were three blooming flowers that unleashed multicolored light, with dew like pearls and golden brightness.···
Untainted Land was a land with a continuous mountain range. A huge palace sat at the top of one of these mountains. There were 12 differently shaped shadows, refined by Pangu"s Blood of Essence and known as the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. In front of them was a huge blood pool with a continuous shadow. These shadows would become the Wu Tribe in the future.

In Mount Buzhou, in a place like that of an immortal abode, stood a female with a human face and a serpent body. She was as beautiful as a blooming flower and had hair that spread across her shoulders. She immediately changed into her human form. She seemed to be about twenty years of age. She had a slim waist, slender wrists and fingers, glistening eyes and small, pouty lips, as red as blood. Every glance and smile of hers captured every man"s soul, she was the Human Tribe Sacred Lady G.o.ddess Nvywa.
In addition to G.o.ddess Nvywa, there sat a thirty-year-old man who touched people hearts with his music. He was known as the Great Sage, Fu Xi, of the Demon Tribe. He was also G.o.ddess Nvywa"s older brother. Neither of the two had ever left Mount Buzhou since birth and the last time Minghe came to Mount Buzhou, searching for treasures, he had not been able to locate where they lived.

On the west coast was a barren land. And though Hongjun had left the rough west coast mountain range and land, those destroyed would never come back. The west coast would never return to its past, filled with bustling and richness. This was also the reason the west coast creatures were rare, there was no luck filling the area.
A cloud was moving towards the west and on top stood two men. One man was roughly six feet tall with yellow skin, and the other had a bundled hard and wax yellow complexion. They were Jie Yin Taoist and Zhunti Taoist. The two men had been born in the west, so it was inevitable that they felt sad about the west"s current situation.
···
The sun was shining, the golden crow crowing, and bells were ringing. Across the ocean of the Northern Underworld, wind and clouds were billowing, and fish was diving around the island. On the western frontier, the holy mountain was surrounded by clouds and a giant tree towered above bearing baby-shaped Spiritual Fruits. This was what Untainted Land would be, and the famous and fortunate Primordial Mazingers would appear one by one as the Cultivation Tribulation had pa.s.sed. This was their era. This was also Minghe"s era.
Time flew by in Untainted Land. The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin had begun to recover vitally and even the west was better now than when the Cultivation Tribulation had just pa.s.sed. The end of the Cultivation Tribulation signaled the end of the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix and Kylin era and symbolized the beginning of a new generation.
