The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Back to the Blood Sea, Minghe intended to give the Origin of Stars and Fruit Tree of Stars to the Heaven and Earth Taoist, but he realized that the Heaven and Earth Taoist was still in Closed Door Meditation and that the enlightenment of the Law of Reincarnation was at a critical juncture. So as not to disturb the Heaven and Earth Taoist, Minghe planted the Fruit Tree of Stars in the Sacred Island.

Minghe was surprised but glad to see what happened after planting the Fruit Tree of Stars. All the power of the cosmic stars around the Blood Sea accumulated on the Sacred Island, thickening the Power of the Stars by a dozen times.

In Untainted Land, the Spiritual Air between the Heaven and the Earth was fixed, and in order to keep the balance of the Spiritual Air between the Heaven and the Earth, the occurrence of each Cultivation Tribulation would give some Creatures back to the Heaven and the Earth. However, the Spiritual Air could still not make ends meet even though the loss had been made up for. Thus, the Spiritual Air in Untainted Land was always decreasing.

Before Longhan Cultivation Tribulation, many places between the Heaven and the Earth were filled with abundant Spiritual Air. However, after experiencing two Cultivation Tribulations, the number of such places reduced sharply, and now compared with the Spiritual Air at the birth of the Heaven and the Earth, less than one-tenth of that was left.

In the Blood Sea lived Ashura tribe created by Minghe and 480 million Clone of Blood Gods, and both of them could cultivate themselves relying on absorbing the Evil Blood Aura. However, the Blood Sea that seemed boundless also had an end.

The number of tribesmen of the Ashura tribe had reached upto hundreds of millions, and everyday the amount of Evil Blood Aura consumed for cultivation was astronomical. As to Minghe’s Clone of Blood Gods, their cultivation at the level of Golden Immortal had not made any enhancement for a long time because Minghe was afraid that they would consume a lot of Evil Blood Aura of the Blood sea and might cause the Cultivation Tribulation to come early after absorbing so much Spiritual Air between the Heaven and the Earth. Thus, Minghe only let 49 Blood god Doppelgangers reach the peak level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Seeing the Power of Stars being attracted by the Fruit Tree of Stars, Minghe came up with an idea. The Spiritual Air between the Heaven and the Earth in Untainted Land was decreasing while the Power of Stars was not. If more of the Power of Stars was gathered here, all the Clone of Blood Gods might have a chance to reach the peak level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Minghe also frowned looking at the Fruit Tree of Stars in front of him. The Fruit Tree of Stars was very good, but the Power of Stars attracted by it was still not enough to ensure that 480 million of Clone of Blood Gods reached the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, let alone to reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level. Besides, Blood God Doppelgangers also needed the Power of Stars to enhance their cultivation to the Sage-to-be level.

This method could not work as an effective way to improve the strength of Blood God Doppelgangers and Clone of Blood Gods. Feeling annoyed, Minghe looked at the starlight twinkling on the Fruit Tree of Stars and was lost in his thoughts as if he was looking at a bright and infinite Starry Sky.

Years passed, Minghe kept sitting there. Liu Er and Kong Xuan did not come to disturb him as they knew Minghe was gaining an insight that they also experienced before. An insight could save much hard work in cultivating, and after reaching such Realm as Minghe, an insight was even rare.

Innumerable Power of Stars gathered around Minghe during the process of gaining insight. They were not absorbed into Minghe’s body but converted into countless shadows of stars. The whole Sacred Island was like being in the vast Starry Sky, very fascinating.

"Hu... " Minghe took a long breath. Seeing the shadows of the Starry Sky had disappeared after he woke up, Minghe’s face showed a satisfactory smile. Insight benefited Minghe much more than his thousand years of enlightenment of Cosmic Stars Formation in the Starry Sky.

The Fruit Tree of Stars was indeed extraordinary. It could not only absorb the power of cosmic stars and bear Fruits of Stars containing the source of chaos of cosmic stars but also divide the Law of Operation of cosmic stars into the tree bodies; leaves, branches and Fruits of Stars... This Fruit Tree of Stars was like a small Cosmic Stars Formation, which was why it could absorb the Power of Stars and accumulate the Origin of Stars.

After he finished gaining insight into the Cosmic Stars Formation, Minghe started to refine the Cosmic Stars Banner. As to the Essence of Stars, the main material for refining the Banner, Minghe might have been worried about where to find it before, but now after killing Giant Beasts of Starry Sky during his travel to Primeval Starry Sky, Minghe had gathered a lot of it.

Minghe intended to refine the Cosmic Stars Banner for the purpose of supplying more of the Power of Stars to Blood God Doppelgangers and Clone of Blood Gods. Thus, even though he could not refine a whole Cosmic Stars Banner similar to the one of the Demon Tribe, 365 Big Cosmic Stars Banners and 14,800 Small Cosmic Stars Banners could be refined, which could meet Minghe’s requirements.

Cosmic Stars Formation had unparalleled power and acted as a powerful weapon in the battle between two tribes, but it could not maintain its power in the fight between Sages. Additionally, lots of tribesmen were required to reproduce the power of Cosmic Stars Formation of the Demon Tribe. Hundreds of millions of tribesmen lived in the Ashura tribe now, but they were not a good choice to form the Cosmic Stars Formation as what they cultivated was the transforming exercises of killing.

Minghe’s Clone of Blood Gods could form the Cosmic Stars Formation, but he also relied on the Blood River Formation formed by them to attract the Evil Blood Aura in Untainted Land to the Blood Sea and to accumulate merits of heaven. If Minghe disabled the Blood River Formation, he might suffer Karma as attracting the Evil Blood Aura in Untainted Land was required by the Way of Heaven. Indeed, it was not easy to receive merits of heaven as you cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.

Although not all Clone of Blood Gods were needed to maintain the Blood River Formation, the Cosmic Stars Formation formed by the rest of the tribesmen could not be powerful enough in the fight between cultivators at the level of the Origin. Thus, using the Cosmic Stars Formation to attract the Power of Stars for the purpose of enhancing the strength of Clone of Blood Gods and Ashura tribe was practical.

It was not difficult to refine the Cosmic Stars Banner, and with the help of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Minghe only spent several years to refine a whole Cosmic Stars Banner, including 365 Big Cosmic Stars Banners and 14,800 Small Cosmic Stars Banners. This Banner refined by Minghe was a Mid Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, but after accumulating enough Origin of Stars on the Banner, its level would increase.

Minghe cast spells with his hand, and shouted, "Cosmic Stars Formation, form!" After the last word, all the Cosmic Stars Banners scattered in the sky above the Blood Sea, forming a Cosmic Stars Formation. Innumerable power of cosmic stars was attracted to the Blood Sea, accumulating about one hundred times of the Power of Stars in the Blood Sea.

Above the Sacred Island, it seemed that the whole Starry Sky covered the Blood Sea, which was very beautiful. However, the filthy Blood Sea below damaged the beautiful scenery. Fortunately, Minghe was not a perfectionist and did not care much about the polarization of scenery.

···

The entire Untainted Land felt the abnormal movement of the power of cosmic stars, and they all realized at once that only Cosmic Stars Formation could cause such Mysterious Signs. However, the Cosmic Stars Banner of the Demon Tribe was totally destroyed in the battle between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes, leaving no chance to reform the Formation in Untainted Land.

The Creatures in Untainted Land were surely shocked to see the reappearance of the Cosmic Stars Formation, and after examining the source, they found that this Formation was formed above the Nether Blood Sea where Ancestor Minghe, the strongest cultivator at the level of the Origin lived. As no one dared to form this Formation there, Minghe must be the only one who did this.

All living beings of Untainted Land were full of doubts as Cosmic Stars Formation was the Demon Tribe’s top secret and only a few tribesmen knew how to form it. After the battle between the Sorcerer and the Demon Tribes, only Demon Master Kunpeng and Sacred Demon Bai Ze, among those who might have known how to form the Cosmic Stars Formation, were left.

However, both Bai Ze and Kunpeng never showed any sign that they could form the Cosmic Stars Formation. If they really knew the formation, they would definitely have formed it to defend against enemies or to enhance cultivation, which could benefit themselves and the whole Demon Tribe.

In a palace located at the bottom of the Northern Underworld sea, Kunpeng sat with the River Chart and the Inscription of the Luo in his hands and tried to gain the enlightenment of the mysteries in it. However, the reappearance of the Cosmic Stars Formation naturally awakened Kunpeng.

Seeing the abnormal movement of the Demon Palace, Kunpeng glanced around Untainted Land using his Spiritual Thoughts and was shocked at the appearance of a complete Cosmic Stars Formation above the Blood Sea. Although Emperor Jun was wary of him in the Heavenly Court, he still gained some enlightenment of the mysteries of the Cosmic Stars Formation.
