Chapter 65: Chapter 43 The Wu Tribe"s Plot
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
On the Sacred Island, Minghe, Red Lotus Taoist, and the Heaven and Earth Taoist sat on the ground forming a San Cai formation. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi was fixed within the formation, with Minghe"s favorite magic weapon floating above—the Magical Tao Mirror. The three of them used the Magical Tao Mirror to enhance their comprehension of the Hong Meng Immortal Qi.
The Hong Meng Immortal Qi was naturally formed by Heaven and Earth and filled with mystery. Without the right approach, one could try to enlighten for thousands of years, and yet these efforts will be for naught. Nonetheless, once the fate had arrived, one would be able to gain enlightenment and received the Fruit of Mix Nascent Core.
Exactly 300 years went by, Minghe together with his Good and Evil Separation kept trying to enlighten the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. Minghe and his Good Separation - the Heaven and Earth Taoist did not get any results, while on the other hand, the Evil Separation had a rewarding result with his Law of Killing almost completed. With a little more effort, it would receive the Fruit of Origin.
After enlightening the Hong Meng Immortal Qi for a few hundred years, Minghe naturally gained some insight into the secrets of it. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi was filled with the source of the Way of Heaven, it was created in accordance with the circ.u.mstances. This was the reason why the foundation of would not be weakened even if Merit was used.
The person becoming a Sage by Merits had to exert the source of the Way of Heaven in the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. After absorbing the source of the Way of Heaven, it could naturally increase one"s supernatural powers and realm to that of a Sage without any side effects. It could be said that as long as there were enough Merits, this was the best shortcut to become a Sage.
Minghe had more than enough Merits and there would be more Merits in time to come, yet becoming a Sage by Merits was not what he had desired. The actualizing belonging to the Red Lotus Taoist was imminent and the White Lotus of Purity had also grown to its maximum capacity. Although the 11-grade lotus was only one step away from its fulfillment, it had no chance to become 12-grade.
Red Lotus Taoist combined his 21-grade Red Lotus of Fire with the White Lotus of Purity, while his Original Spirit enlightens the Law of Killing. If both could gain the Fruit of Origin, Minghe could face the Sage with confidence and it would be good for his future plans as well.
However, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi became useless now. Though Minghe had his sights set on the Origin of the Way of Heaven, in every gain, there would be a loss. He did not want to help the Sages of the Way of Heaven to achieve their aims with the Origin. If such a thing happened, it would be hard for him to be detached from it later on.
Both Red Lotus Taoist and the Heaven and Earth Taoist began their Closed Door Meditation upon ending their comprehension. MInghe looked at the Hong Meng Immortal Qi in his hand not knowing what to do with it, as he had no use for it. He could leave it for his disciple, Liu Er, but it would only bring Liu Er harm instead of good. Liu Er was only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and can"t secure the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, moreover, MInghe would not always be around to protect him all the time.
After giving it some thought, Minghe"s eyes lit up. He thought of a perfect place for the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. Minghe did not announce his trip but cloaked himself in invisibility instead. Then he secretly left the Blood Sea and headed towards Untainted Land.

The Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery gathered in the hall of Pangu. From the looks of their situation, it was obvious that they had not fully recovered from the injuries after summoning the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu, which was cast back on them.
Even then, Zhurong was still vigorous and peppy. "Big Brother, what does Hongjun mean? Why did he stop us from destroying the Demon Tribe? This Untainted World was created by our G.o.d the Father, Pangu, so it"s our right to be its leader."
Hearing what Zhurong said, Emperor Jiang sighed heavily. "Alright. Stop it. Hongjun is too powerful. I"m afraid that we can"t defeat him even with the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu. But then again, we"re not fully familiar with the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation yet. If we"re able to fully grasp and understand the formation, especially when summoning the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu, the Demon Tribe won"t be able to hold a candle to us. Even if it"ll take thousands of years, so what?"
The facial expressions of the Ancestors of Sorcery became better, but Zhu Jiuyin asked worriedly, "Big Brother, it may be so, but if Nvywa of the Demon Tribe became a Sage within these thousands of years, I"m afraid the ending would be hard to predict." The rest of the Ancestors of sorcerer became crestfallen again as the worries of Torch Dragon had the possibility of happening. If so, then the Wu Tribe would not be able to gain anything.
Then GongGong said, "Big brother, don"t forget that there is still one more Hong Meng Immortal Qi aside from the ones taken by Three Pure Ones, G.o.ddess Nvywa, Zhunti, and Jieyin." At the mention of this, all the Ancestors" eyes glinted. If there was someone who became a Sage in the Wu Tribe, even if Nvywa became a Sage, there would be nothing to be afraid of.
Zhurong said, laughing, "That"s right. It"s rare for you to say something useful, Gonggong. Our battle with the Demon Tribe has benefitted Minghe. We can get the Hong Meng Immortal Qi from him. If he dares not give it to us, I"ll beat him up." Minghe looked like he was in his teens, which made him look younger than Zhurong.
Emperor Jiang started to waver after hearing what Zhurong said, however, Torch Dragon disagreed. "With that being said, it"ll be quite impossible to get the Hong Meng Immortal Qi from Minghe." This instantly dashed the hopes of the Ancestors of sorcerer
Emperor Jiang asked, "Why not?" Torch Dragon replied, "Don"t forget, Minghe is already at the Peak LevelSage-to-be and is capable of killing 68 Sages-to-be by himself. All of us together might not be able to defeat him."
Zhurong yelled out, "Brother Torch Dragon, we also have the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. How can Minghe defeat us? The Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation is the trump card of the Wu Tribe, and it is so formidable that even the Demon Tribe"s Cosmic Stars Formation couldn"t be pitted against it."
"Though we have the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation, in our current state, we will not be able to fully utilize the formation. The Blood Sea is Minghe"s nest, there will definitely be a tactical formation surrounding it. Moreover, we don"t really know much about Minghe, except for hearsay and the skills he showed when s.n.a.t.c.hing the Hong Meng Immortal Qi," said Torch Dragon.
"We don"t know the capabilities of Minghe"s Three Separations and if the Blood Sea is being protected by tactical formations. If it is, how powerful is that formation? Not only that, we also don"t know what type of magical weapons Minghe uses. If we were to strike out at him thoughtlessly, we might end up on the losing end. Besides, making an enemy out of Minghe is not a good idea, as he might attack us from the back during the battle with the Demon Tribe. If that happens, we will be caught in between."
Hearing Torch Dragon"s words, Emperor Jiang understood the pros and cons. Zhurong and the other Ancestors were in a dismal state as they knew of a way to subdue G.o.ddess Nvywa, yet they were not able to use it.
"Ha ha ha! I"ve long heard that Torch Dragon is the Advisor of Wu Tribe. You are as extraordinary as the rumors say. It"s my honor to cause such uneasiness in you. I"m Ancestor Minghe, and I specifically come to visit fellow Ancestors of sorcerer. Please forgive me for being impolite."
A hearty laughter rang throughout the hall, giving a shock to the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcerer. They walked out of the hall just in time to see a Taoist, cloaked in black, standing outside. Who could it have been other than Minghe? The Ancestors did not expect that Minghe would actually come to them of his own accord.
Emperor Jiang saw Minghe smiling brightly, and indignation filled him. Emperor Jiang remarked with seething rage, "So, it is fellow Taoist, Minghe, that has come for a visit. What a surprise. Just that fellow Taoist, coming here alone and armed with the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, are you not afraid that we will take it from you?"
Minghe strutted straight to the Hall of Pangu. It was obvious that he was challenging their authority. In the past, only the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcerer could enter the Hall of Pangu. Even the guardians, like Xing Tian, could only stand outside the hall until any one of the Ancestors summoned him.
In the eyes of the Ancestors, Minghe"s actions were to show them his prowess and to challenge them. They were enraged, so Emperor Jiang spoke in such demeanor as he was trying to get the better of Minghe. Even though they had no thought of s.n.a.t.c.hing the Hong Meng Immortal Qi from Minghe any longer, Minghe was giving them a chance now. After what Emperor Jiang had said, numerous Ancestors were tempted.
But there were wise people among them, such as Torch Dragon, who gave it serious thought. Minghe was no fool, so there must have been a reason as to why he came here. It must have been more than to just show off. Being able to reach a cultivation like his, he wouldn"t do anything meaningless.
But Torch Dragon simply couldn"t guess as to why Minghe was here. Logically speaking, after getting the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, Minghe should focus on his enlightenment like Three Pure Ones, G.o.ddess Nvywa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, who immediately did a Closed Door Meditation after getting the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. But Minghe came to their turf openly, even after knowing that he had what they were after.
