Chapter 396: The Envoys
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
To fully utilize the four Tactical Fields and two Magic Weapons, Minghe considered their strengths and weaknesses. He decided to give some away. He gave the Starfall Formation and Soul-freezing Gourd to Good Separation Heaven and Earth Taoist and handed the Two Reverse Forms Sword Formation to Evil Separation Red Lotus Taoist, and kept the remaining three for himself.
The Starfall Formation was powerful, but no one could utilize its power alone. Besides, the abstrusity of cosmic stars in Battlefield of Gods and Demons was way more complicated than that of Untainted Land. Heaven and Earth Taoist had the assistance of the Way of Heaven in the World of Heaven and Earth, thus he would have found it easier to be enlightened. Moreover, it would be perfect if he could combine it into the Cosmic Stars Formation.
As for the Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos Soul-freezing Gourd, it was refined from an ice world, composed of chilling Evil Spirit and power of the world. Only Heaven and Earth Taoist could make full use of it since he had a great trichiliocosm and also a good knowledge of the power of the world. It was best to give it to him.
Concerning the Two Reverse Forms Sword Formation, it was easily set and sealed a Map of Formation and two Top Grade Spiritual Treasures of Chaos inside, which were Yin Yang immortal swords. Since Evil Separation Red Lotus Taoist was the only one that knew well about Tao of sword, Minghe decided to give it to him. However, the Sword Formation was the weakest out of the three attacking formations and it was not suitable for any of them. Minghe gave it away merely due to Red Lotus Taoist’s interest toward it.
As for the remaining two tactical formations and one Magic Weapon, Minghe kept them for himself. It was not that he was unwilling to share with his Selfcentric Separation, but Selfcentric Separation Musen only took interest in Martial Arts. The three treasures did not fit his Tao. At the moment, Musen was being enlightened on the Veridical Martial Origin Formation and had the most progress among the three of them. That was why Musen had mastered Martial Arts.
Moreover, Musen had refined the Kongtong Seal into his Martial Arts supreme treasure. The Kongtong Seal was weaker than the Anti-evil Axe, but Musen could display twice its maximum power. If the Kongtong Seal was upgraded to a Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos someday, it would surpass the Anti-evil Axe by more than a sliver.
Minghe certainly would not force it on Musen since it did not fit him. Additionally, the two remaining tactical formations and the Anti-evil Axe still had used for him. It would be nice to keep them around. He just needed to invest some time into grasping the formations and refining the Anti-evil Axe. Otherwise, it would be tragic if they should fail in face of crisis.
The Four-pole Separation Evil Formation was indeed strong and had the potential for improvement which was remarkable. Someday, if Minghe could replace the original Separation Beasts to Half Step Supreme Realm Separation Beasts, he could walk into any area in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons mid layer. However, no matter how amazing the formation was, it did not suit Minghe’s Tao.
Minghe had read the Spiritual Inheritance of the Four-pole Separation Evil Formation. There was detailed information on how to refine Separation Beasts. However, it was a Separation’s Law. Minghe could use it to refine Separation Beast, but the outcome would not be perfect. He had mastered Law of Blood and Law of Spiritual Beings, so his best choice was to refine Puppets of Blood God.
At the thought of this, Minghe wanted to modify the Four-pole Separation Evil Formation. Separation Beasts and Puppets of Blood God were alike in some aspects. Moreover, after his breakthrough to Fate Realm, Minghe had adjusted the Puppet of Blood God refinement, making the upgraded Puppets of Blood God more powerful and yet still possible for upgrades.
If he could successfully replace Separation Beasts with Puppets of Blood God, Minghe could finally fully utilize the Four-pole Separation Evil Formation. But Minghe had to be completely enlightened on the formation before he could do that. Now he had grasped only 10% of its abstrusity. Rashly modifying it would only destroy the Tactical Field. That would do more harm than good.
The Enlightenment Formation was extremely important to Minghe, because it was like Minghe’s supreme treasure Magical Tao Mirror in some way. It was almost a weakened version of the Magical Tao Mirror. In the formation, Minghe saw the possibility of upgrading his Magical Tao Mirror and thus he took it seriously.
However, Minghe would not do it in the meantime. In order to do so, first he would be fully enlightened on the Enlightenment Formation, and then he needed to improve himself in his cultivation. Only then would he be confident of the modification. After all, the Magical Tao Mirror was his most important Magic Weapon. Minghe would not modify it without 100% certainty since he would lose his strength if it failed.
The mighty Anti-evil Axe was indeed good for Minghe. It was different from the God-killing Spear. As a killing supreme treasure, the spear killed and swallowed its enemy to nourish itself. But, the Anti-evil Axe crushed everything in its way. Each had its advantage, but given a choice, Minghe would choose his God-killing Spear without hesitation.
The ability to be upgraded of the God-killing Spear was absent in the Anti-evil Axe. Indeed, one could refine the Anti-evil Axe again and again into half or even full supreme treasure of Chaos, but it was highly demanding, however, the God-killing Spear was different. It swallows body essence and Original Spirits to evolve, which took lesser effort to grow it into a supreme treasure of Chaos.
At the present, the God-killing Spear was Minghe’s major killing weapon, and the Anti-evil Axe was Minghe’s secret weapon. He would not use it casually since it was a Highest Grade supreme treasure of Chaos. Minghe knew well that one should not show off own’s wealth.
After allocating everything, Minghe and his Three Separations went into Closed Door Meditations. They each gained something from the trip but they had only enlightened it but for a brief moment. They had grabbed so much during the trip, they needed some time to understand all of it completely. Otherwise, they would have wasted the treasures!
20,000 years later, deep in Yun Ling Academy, where Venerable Linghao was mediating, the dean Venerable Linghao and eight Elders including Minghe met together. In front of them, there was a Transmitting Formation connecting to Yun Ling Academy of Central Region. The nine of them seemed to be waiting for someone. fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖
A while back, Minghe received a message from Venerable Linghao to assemble while in mediation. Thus he and other seven Elders came here to welcome Central Region Yun Ling Academy envoys. Minghe was reluctant in cooming, but he might as well do what the Romans do and wait with them.
Soon, ripples of white light flashed, the air above the formation was distorted and strong space fluctuation broke out. But it all ended in a moment and then peace was restored. Two figures emerged in the Transmitting Formation, one was a tall medium-aged man, and the other was a gentle young scholar.
Minghe looked over and his eyes widened. Judging from his vital force, the young scholar was in a Half Step to the Fate Realm and would soon break through to Fate Realm. He probably came here to fill in as the new dean of Eastern Region Yun Ling Academy, which was customary in Yun Ling Academy. Whenever the dean of Eastern Region Yun Ling Academy moved to Central Region, the Central Region would sent a successor.
However, the tall medium-aged man’s vital force was hard to see through. Minghe felt tremendous threat in him, the life-threatening feeling that even Venerable Linghao failed to convey. The man must have surpassed Venerable Linghao and might have reached late stage of Fate Realm.
Venerable Linghao stepped forward and bowed. "I’m the Eastern Region Yun Ling Academy dean Taoist Linghao, and I’m at your service." Minghe and the other seven Elders saluted. They all saluted because he was both an envoy and an expert, they ought to pay their respects. Though everyone was at Fate Realm cultivation, but every small rank meant a great gap.
The envoy glanced at them and was surprised when he saw Minghe. He said smilingly, "I am flattered. I’m Immortal Yangyu. I’m here to welcome you to the Central Region. Also, I’ll pick 10,000 talents from the Eastern Region Yun Ling Academy. I noticed that you have a new Elder. What a surprise."
It was no wonder that Immortal Yangyu was surprised since the dean and the Elders seized most of the Academy resources. One would find it extremely hard to break through to Fate Realm unless he was a disciple of the Elders. Seeing a new Elder, he was naturally surprised.
Venerable Linghao introduced. "This is Minghe, he’s good at refining weapons. He’s our Sixth Grade weapons refining master and recently broke through to Fate Realm. It’s no wonder you didn’t know him." Then he continued, "Immortal Yangyu, the ceremony is ready, shall we begin now?"
Immortal Yangyu nodded. "Yes, we shall. The sooner we finish, the faster we can return. Let’s go!" Then Venerable Linghao led the way, followed by Minghe and others. The grand ceremony was to select qualified talents for Central Region Yun Ling Academy, no one would miss it.
