Chapter 17: The Defying Spiritual Treasure
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Initially, Blood Sea was formed by the polluted and residual blood of Pangu and three thousand Mazingers. As the master of Blood Sea, Minghe knew about the importance of the initial Blood Sea, so he separated it from the newly-formed Blood Sea after he set up the Blood River Formation.
Blood Sea might be horrifying to others but to Minghe it represented a huge treasure vault. Moreover, the initial Blood Sea was a rare treasure through which Minghe could gather some knowledge about the mystery of Rakshasa. He envisioned many methods of body cultivation from the enlightenment of the Rakshasa's vital force left in the initial Blood Sea.
By killing the Heaven and Earth Ancestor, Minghe obtained two things. The first was the Spiritual Treasures, like the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, and the other was the Spiritual Inheritance of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor. The Spiritual Inheritance of every Primordial Mazinger carried distinct characteristics from which Minghe could use to his advantage, so he made sure not to miss this opportunity.
Even though Minghe killed the Heaven and Earth Ancestor and ensured that he had no chance of reincarnating, he did not destroy all the Original Spirit and kept some Original Spirit pieces through the Law of Spiritual Beings. This way, he could gain the Primordial Spiritual Inheritance of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor.
Minghe was surprised to find that the Heaven and Earth Ancestor was actually a being converted by the residual soul from one of the 3 thousand Mazingers, the Mazinger of Heaven and Earth who was adept in the Law of Heaven and Earth. His every move involved unfathomable power. Naturally, the Heaven and Earth Ancestor had inherited the Law of Heaven and Earth and received enlightenment when he reached the realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortality and was awarded some clues about the Law of Space.
However, the Heaven and Earth Ancestor had paid great attention to his treasures rather than the cultivation of the Divine Law. If he had had 10% enlightenment of the Law of Heaven and Earth, he could have broken the Blood River Formation set by the Blood God Doppelganger. With the magical power of the Heaven and Earth, he would have been able to kill the Blood God Doppelganger easily.
What a pity! The Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and the Ruler of Heaven and Earth had diverted his attention from the cultivation of the Divine Law, and the nature of Rakshasa destroyed him. These two things had spurred his arrogance, but he had never known that there were plenty of Sage-to-be master-hands like Hong Jun and Luohou who remained unknown.
To Minghe, his death was slightly wasted as what he needed the most now was to battle with other skilled cultivators. Had the Heaven and Earth Ancestor paid more attention to the enlightenment of the Law of Heaven and Earth, he could have fought against Minghe. This was like an ancient Chinese saying: Miss an inch and you miss the whole battle.
Minghe moved on to concentrate on the Primordial Spiritual Inheritance of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor. He was disappointed at the result because the residual soul and the spiritual inheritance were too little to cultivate, which also accounted for the unstable state of mind of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor.
Although Minghe did not gather much information about Rakshasa, he gained some understanding on the method of body cultivation from Rakshasa. According to his previous prediction, the strength of the physical body of a Mazinger was achieved by cultivating his body through the Air of Chaos. But Minghe was only half right.
The method of a Mazinger's body cultivation required the Air of Chaos but the core part was the Divine Law. The strength of the physical body of a Mazinger was achieved by cultivating his body by absorbing the Power of Divine Law, so every single move involved the magic power of the Divine Law.
Not only that, the Spiritual Treasures which Rakshasa used were also embedded with the Power of Divine Law. The power and quality could be improved and even upgraded to higher grades upon reaching a certain stage.
Knowing this, Minghe was disgruntled. He now had to predict tactical methods again and complete another circle of cultivation after the prediction in order to prevent an unstable foundation. This would consume a lot of time.
However, the Cultivation Tribulation had begun and would be completed in a comparatively short time. Minghe did not intend to get involved in the war between Hong Jun and Luohou, but he wanted to gain some benefits from the war among the three tribes. Given the current situation, he would probably miss the opportunity.
After thinking for a while, Minghe came up with an idea. He called out the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and poured numerous primordial materials into it, as well as the residual soul pieces of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor. He also added some blood of Rakshasa and tens of millions of Clones of the Blood God.
In a word, this was a hotchpotch. Others would definitely scorn him for wasting so many first-grade materials including 64 Enlightenment Fruits. A peculiar looking fetus of a magic weapon came into being after 49 years of calcination.
A sphere. That's right, this fetus was a globe-shaped object. Minghe separated one portion of his soul after the fetus was formed and set up a tactical restriction formation. The Spiritual Treasure finally appeared after another 81 years. Its appearance spurred Blood Sea and even Minghe could not calm it down.
All of a sudden, Minghe felt extreme pressure and began to sweat out of tension. Looking up, he saw a vertical eye floating atop Blood Sea. It was the Eye of Great Way. Yes, it was! Minghe had sworn to the Way of Great Way when he first arrived here and had experienced its power and mystery. It was definitely the Eye of Great Way.
Minghe was quite terrified to be scrutinized by the Eye of Great Way. He had not done anything that went against the Heaven, so why had the Way of Great Way come to him? Even if he had done something against the Heaven and changed the momentum of the heaven and earth, it should be the Way of Heaven who came to him. Was it—Minghe looked to the newly-born Spiritual Treasure—because of this?
Minghe became increasingly nervous as the eye continued to watch him. The Way of Great Way kept looking his way for a long time, making Minghe feel torturous.
The Eye of Great Way finally moved after a long time and a silver light ejected from it right into the Spiritual Treasure. Then the Eye of Great Way disappeared like nothing had happened.
Minghe was relieved, it was an agony to be stared at by the Eye of Great Way, especially when he was only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Minghe picked up the Spiritual Treasure and wondered what the silver light had done to it.
It was a Highest-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure! Minghe was elated to be able to refine a Highest-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure through the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. But this Spiritual Treasure was unique. It did not have any attack power and even the defense strength was similar to that of a Low-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
Luckily, it had an extremely strong prediction power when combined with the separated soul from Minghe. All the Clones of Blood God and Blood God Doppelgangers combined could not be compared to this portion of his soul. If it were not for Minghe's proficiency in the Law of Spiritual Beings, he would not have dared to do so and even then, such damage would take thousands of years to recover from.
Luckily Minghe had the Three Light Holy Water, which could heal the soul trauma and if Minghe could make further progress in the enlightenment of the Law of Spiritual Beings; the recovery speed would be quickened. Fortunately, all his efforts were paid off in the end. The Spiritual Treasure in front of him was the pay-off.
When Minghe first talked about prediction, he linked it to the modern-world supercomputer with a calculation speed of a trillion bits per second. If a mere mortal from the future generation could make such powerful machines, so could Minghe.
Thereafter, the first computer in Untainted Land emerged and it was also a Highest-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. Minghe named it the Magical Tao Mirror. Its prediction power was thousands of times better than Minghe and all his Doppelgangers combined. It was for this reason that the Magical Tao Mirror captured the attention of the Way of Great Way.
