Chapter 346: The Exploration
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Minghe was not that kind of person who gave up easily. The World of Five Elements was really powerful, but not invincible. In the World of Five Elements, the only thing that Minghe feared of was the Way of Heaven in the World of Five Regions. Once he figured out a way to restrain a part of the Way of Heaven, the rest would be much easier to deal with. However, except other than cooperating with Hongjun, Minghe could not think of a better solution.
Since he could not come up with a good way to cope with the Way of Heaven, Minghe had decided to put it aside. When it came to such thing, any wrong move might result in death. Minghe did not want to suffer any loss. If he had used force, he might allow the Heaven and Earth Taoist to swallow the World of Five Regions, but the cost was unacceptable to Minghe.
At this moment, the World of Five Elements was in a state of extreme nervousness. It was obvious that the escape of Jun Tian and two of his fellows had caught the attention of the Way of Heaven. To break into this world would only cause Minghe to suffer great losses. He left quietly since he knew that his plan could not be carried out. Minghe settled down in a relatively peaceful area in the Chaos, far away from the World of Five Elements.
The purpose of Minghe"s journey to the Out-of-Law Area was to collect enough Origin of Chaos. It was rather a big surprise that he could find the World of Five Elements and a beast nest. Though the World of Five Elements was within reach, Minghe could only put it aside for now. The beast nest was in the World of Heaven and Earth, which belonged to Minghe"s Good Separation. Now is the best time to study it since he have the spare time.
Minghe reached out, five banners floated above Minghe"s hand. These were right the Magic Weapons that the Taoist Jun Tian had used to arrange the Primordial Five Elements Formation. What was more surprising to Minghe was that these five Magic Weapons were merely the highest grade postcelestial spiritual treasures. When Minghe first saw the Primordial Five Elements Formation, he had thought that it must be arranged by the Magic Weapon, just like the Primordial Flag of the Five Regions.
But when the Taoist Jun Tian and other cultivators reversed the Five Elements Formation, they aroused the Power of Five Elements inside and damaged these five banners. Minghe kept them due to curiosity. He then found that they were just Postcelestial Spiritual Treasures. They were Flags of Formation, the Magic Weapons using to arrange formation to be precise.
Now that these banners were in his hands, it was natural for Minghe to study these five banners. They were badly damaged but the damage did not hinder Minghe. After careful observation, Minghe had finally found the reason why the Primordial Five Elements Formation had been so powerful. These five banners had their respective Five Elements of the Origin, which were powerful and not less than the Primordial Flag of the Five Regions.
These five banners were refined by the Spiritual Roots of the Five Elements, with the nourishment of the endless Power of Five Elements. The power of the Origin was better than the Primordial Flag of the Five Regions. However, it was a great shame that these five banners were mere Flags of Formation, without much offensive and defensive power. It was also the reason why Minghe could survive from the Primordial Five Elements Formation so easily. It would be much more lethal if the Primordial Five Elements Formation had been arranged by Primordial Flags of the Five Regions.
Though these five banners had been seriously damaged, they could still work after being newly refined. But it needed the help of the Heaven and Earth Taoist. Minghe had not been enlightened by the Law of Five Elements yet, neither had the Heaven and Earth Taoist. But the World of Heaven and Earth inside his body existed the Law of Five Elements. With the power of the Way of Heaven, he could refine these five banners.
The five banners had revived after a while. They could be called as the fake Primordial Flag of the Five Regions after being refined. Minghe had a deeper understanding of the Primordial Flag of the Five Regions. After all, he once had two sides of them and knew the limit of the flags like the palm of his own hand. After the refining of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, the fake Primordial Flag of the Five Regions was apparently a Mid Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the power was nearly the same as before.
Looking at the newborn fake Primordial Flag of the Five Regions, Minghe suddenly got an idea. He was not the master of the Law of Five Elements, but the Taoist Jun Tian, Taoist Tong Hua, Taoist Yan Xuan, and the taoists who were sealed by Minghe, Taoist Yan Yang and Taoist Xun Yuan were. If they refined it, the fake flag would be not less than the real one in the Untainted Land, and even better.
But it was just a thought. No matter how good Minghe"s idea was, it would be useless without breaking through the World of Five Elements and catching the Taoist Jun Tian, Taoist Tong Hua and Taoists Yanxuan. For now, the fake one was enough. While Minghe Stretched out his hand, a Primordial Five Elements Formation raised in the Chaos, with the Primordial flag of the Five Regions flying towards five directions.
Controlling the Primordial Five Elements Formation to cover the Chaos, Minghe could handle matters with ease. In the Formation, with Minghe"s reach, a tiny "Mountain" had appeared on his palm. It was the beast nest from the Out-of-Law Area, which took Minghe so much effort to get it. Since time permits, Minghe could study it carefully.
Previuosly in the Out-of-Law Area, Minghe had observed it for a long time. At that time, in order not to wake a sleeping lion, Minghe had not used the Spiritual Thoughts. Now since the beast nest was in his hand, Minghe naturally would like to check it with Spiritual Thoughts carefully, to find out deep in the beast nest, what the weird lines engraved on the Original Stone of Chaos were.
Using his powerful Spiritual Thoughts, Minghe could clearly observe the whole beast nest. Originally, five people of the Taoist Jun Tian had held the view that these lines were integrated parts of the whole beast nest, but if they had reviewed it carefully, they would find that it was not the truth. But for some reasons, they had become a whole unit.
Since it became like this, Minghe would have to separate them. One of his hands pulled up the beast nest, and the other cut it with the Power of Infinity. To make it faster, Minghe had also used the Law of s.p.a.ce. But the solidation of Original Stone was beyond his imagination. No wonder the five taoist decided to separate it.
After spending a long amount of time, Minghe finally separated the Original Stone of Chaos with weird lines from the whole Original Stone of Chaos in the beast nest. He was kind of surprise when he saw the complete picture of these weird lines. It was really strange that the separated part was just like a rather primitive altar.
Altar? Of course it was just Minghe"s first impression on it. Since something would appear when these weird lines shined, it was obvious that this Altar thing could work like a Transmitting Formation. But the problem was that: since it had the power of a Transmitting Formation, with one end here, where was the other end?
Deeper in the Out-of-Law Area? Or maybe some other mysterious areas in the Chaos? Minghe tended to the former answer. It seemed that inside the Chaotic Storm Wall, there was more than a weird place like the Out-of-Law Area. What was in the deeper end ogf the nest? Minghe could not figure out now. But he have gotten more curious. He would find out thoroughly someday.
Of course, except the Altar (just call it this way temporarily), the beast nest was also a big harvest for Minghe this time. Minghe not only found the whole beast nest was made of the Original Stone of Chaos, but also found some materials of the Chaos recorded in the Hongjun Jade Slip in the huge Original Stone of Chaos. It seemed that they were all from the Altar.
By Minghe"s estimate, in the original place, the Altar should have existed independently from the Out-of-Law Area. As time pa.s.sed, the beast nest had came into being, with something going out from the Altar. It was the reason why the extinct Chaos material before the Creation of Heaven existed inside the Original Stone of Chaos. But it was really confusing that what had melted the solid Original Stone of Chaos together.
Putting away the beast nest, Minghe continued to study the Altar at the root of the beast nest. Minghe had never seen such weird lines, which might be some Talisman Symbol limit before the Creation of Heaven in the Chaos or something else. But now it looked rather common, and it did not even work when Minghe activated his supernatural power.
Did he used it wrongly? Minghe comtemplated over and over. He seemed to find out some secrets but had no way to explore it. He could only wait until next time when there was something came out from the Altar again. Waving his arm, Minghe sent it to the World of Heaven and Earth, and asked the Heaven and Earth Taoist to pay more attention to it.
The most important thing after the study of the beast nest was the reason why Minghe had taken risks to head to Out-of-Law Area. He wanted to collect enough Origin of chaos to sacrificed it to the Magical Tao Mirror, and then use it to pry into the secret of Hongjun Zixiao Palace. Now the Origin of chaos had been gathered, and it was the time for Minghe to begin his Prediction.
Magical Tao Mirror, the vital force of Zixiao Palace and the Origin of chaos were all ready. Minghe sat cross-legged in the Chaos, with three streaks of light flashing across his body. Then the Heaven and Earth Taoist, Red Lotus Taoist and Musen appeared around the Magical Tao Mirror. There was only one chance to see the secret of the Zixiao Palace. And in the whole process, Hongjun could feel it at any time. Once Hongjun found someone was spying upon his Zixiao Palace, he would suppress it with the Power of Infinity. Then, Minghe"s Prediction would come to an end.
Minghe waved his arm and the vital force of the Zixiao Palace had sunk into the Magical Tao Mirror. At the same time, the Origin of chaos Minghe had collected before beginning to pour into the Magical Tao Mirror. Minghe and his Three Separations took action simultaneously, driving the Magical Tao Mirror whole-heartedly. A vague and illusory image of a palace suddenly appeared in the Magical Tao Mirror. It was the Zixiao Palace: the vital force, Divine Law and limit...all began to slowly appear in front of Minghe.
