Chapter 8: Rising of the Three Tribes
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Upon returning to Blood Sea, Minghe began his Closed Door Meditation, not caring what was going on outside. He needed to continue predicting the tactical methods and researching the medicines, weapons, and formations that he had just received. More importantly, he needed time to cultivate the Divine Law as he had just obtained enlightenment. Besides, spiritual roots and medicines were settled in Sacred Island and the whole Blood Sea Formation was activated. Therefore, this place was completely closed.
Minghe was immersed in his cultivation in Blood Sea. So were the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land. Their strength had been improved remarkably after receiving the Enlightenment Tablet. They used to lack cultivation on tactical methods, but there were now a number of talents among them, even though the tactical methods predicated by Minghe were quite complicated.
The 3,600 Enlightenment Tablets acted as the key to pursuing Immortality. Once the path to Immortality was opened, the talent of the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land was released, and those with great talents could predict and convert the original tactical methods, magic skills, and tactical formations into ones suitable for their own clans.
Over the next ten thousand years, their strength improved remarkably. There were plenty of Golden Immortals and Black Immortals. Primordial Unity Golden Immortals could be labeled as superiors and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were the top figures in Untainted Land. It was possible that there were Sages-to-be like Hongjun and Luohou.
Among the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land, the Dragon Tribe, the Phoenix Tribe, and the Kylin Tribe developed the most rapidly. They made use of their primordial advantages and ruled a specific region. The 3,600 Enlightenment Tablets put aside by Minghe were mostly gained or stolen by these three tribes. As a consequence, there were a great number of master-hands in these three tribes.
A powerful man sat on the dragon throne in the East Sea Dragon Palace. It was Zu Long, ancestor of the Dragon Clan with a Late-stage cultivation of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortally. The people beneath were nearly of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, in either the early stage or secondary stage, and could definitely be rulers outside.
Zu Long looked at the people and asked, "Everybody, since our clan is quite powerful right now, I intend to go on an expedition towards Four Seas. What"s your opinion?" Ao Tian, one of Zu Long"s brothers, said, "Brother, among Four Seas, the Scute Clan has the largest population, but there aren"t many master-hands. Instead, there are a great number of master-hands in our clan. Hence, it"s only a matter of time to rule the whole Four Seas."
Hearing this, Zu Long was quite elated. "Well, on my orders, starting from today, our clan will prepare for a war and send troops to Four Seas in three days." Ao Tian showed consent. The Dragon Clan was bellicose and peace meant nothing to them.
The same situation occurred in the Phoenix Clan and the Kylin Clan only with different targets. The Phoenix Clan wanted to rule the Fowls Clan and the Kylin Clan wanted the Beast Clan. These three clans shared the same ambitions, but with different targets.
As the expedition continued, the strength of the three clans improved gradually and their territories expanded as well. Their main purpose was to seize fortunes in Untainted Land and gain merits thereupon. As the leaders of the three clans, Zu Long, the Lord of Phoenix, and the King of Kylin would obtain greater benefits, such as accelerating their cultivation. They all entered the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality realm.
???????????????????????????????
Tens of thousands of years had pa.s.sed, and Minghe completed his Closed Door Meditation. As a result, he reached the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality regarding cultivation and the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality regarding the realm of Original Spirit. With all the supernatural power and magic weapons he had obtained, he could even fight against one reaching the early stage of Sage-to-be.
Moreover, during these years, Minghe had obtained enlightenment on the Law of Killing and the Law of Spiritual Beings, and he also reviewed all his own tactical methods and Magic Skills. This improved his understanding of the path of cultivation. In addition, he gained enlightenment from the inheritance of the Jade b.u.t.terfly of Fate as well. However, he got the deepest enlightenment in tactical formations.
Regarding the cultivation of the Divine Law, Minghe was quite distraught since the Great Way of Divine Law was intricate and covered plenty of areas. He spent most of his time on the enlightenment of the Divine Law. If the results had been unsatisfactory, he would have been furious.
Minghe received 10% enlightenment of the Law of Killing and 15% of the Law of Spiritual Beings which explained his confidence in fighting against a Sage-to-be. 10% of the Law of Killing would strengthen his attack, if combined with the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, their power would be more than doubled.
Thanks to the Clone of Blood G.o.d, which was originally an application of the complex Law of Spiritual Beings, Minghe managed to get enlightenment after spending a significant amount of time on it. The enlightenment of the Law of Spiritual Beings would benefit him no less than that of the Law of Killing.
Receiving 15% enlightenment of the Law of Spiritual Beings was significant for him. The most direct advantage was taken for the magic skill, Clone of Blood G.o.d whose cultivation was generally two Ranks lower than his. For example, if Minghe was at the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality, then the Clone of Blood G.o.d was at the late stage of Golden Immortality, a shortage of Eight Small Ranks (two full ranks).
Things were different now. Thanks to the Law of Spiritual Beings, the core of the Clone of Blood G.o.d was the Spiritual Thoughts of Minghe"s Original Spirit which could be strengthened now. Minghe now was at the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and the Clone of Blood G.o.d could reach as far as the peak of Golden Immortality. There was still a shortage of two ranks, but it was not two full ranks.
When Minghe returned to Blood Sea, he was just at the early stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality. After getting enlightenment from the Law of Spiritual Beings, the Clone of Blood G.o.d made a breakthrough at the early stage of Golden Immortality and reached the peak of Golden Immortality. Although there was still a shortage of two ranks, the difference had been shortened from Eight Small Ranks to five.
What surprised Minghe most was that the function of the Law of Spiritual Beings was much more than that. The forty-nine Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers were the greatest in the Way of Heaven. 15% enlightenment in the Law of Spiritual Beings could help Minghe refine Special Avatar, whose cultivation was one full rank below himself, like the Second Original Spirit. Therefore, Minghe named it the Blood G.o.d Doppelganger to distinguish it from the Clone of Blood G.o.d.
The 49 Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers owned separate feelings and were connected to the mind of Minghe. Currently, they had all reached the peak realm of Primordial Unity Golden Immortality, and they would improve to reach as far as the peak realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality, when Minghe entered the realm of Sage-to-be. By then, they would secure the safety of Blood Sea even if Minghe was out.
After the Closed Door Meditation, Minghe sensed Blood Sea and found that Blood Sea had expanded again with stronger Evil Spirits, which was not a good sign. Through prediction, he knew that the war among the three clans had begun, so did the first Cultivation Tribulation of Untainted Land.
Of course, Minghe knew that his Enlightenment Tablets had accelerated the first Cultivation Tribulation in Untainted Land. He was a little guilty, for many creatures had died because of him. Nevertheless, he soon forgot about this because he believed everyone should fight for himself. He was not a loser anymore and Mix Nascent Core was his ultimate goal. Even if millions of creatures died because of him, he would not care since he was the master of Blood Sea, and he would kill anyone who was the obstacle in his way.
