Chapter 29: Teaching the Great Way of Tao

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

If one wanted to return to Genesis and recreate the body of Rakshasa, it could only happen by Fated Chance. It was a change in quality, so sufficient quantitative changes needed to be first accumulated. Moreover, the Rakshasa was a presence not tolerated by the Way of Heaven of the Untainted Land and Divine Punishment would befall the body of Rakshasa created there.

But there were shortcuts to achieve this, which was to head to the Chaos and convert into the physical body of the Rakshasa. The Divine Punishment could be deflected this way, but one would still be struck upon entering the Untainted Land and could not exert most of their strength. This was not a good thing as one would be seen as an invader by the Way of Heaven of the Untainted Land. Anyone who could kill the invader would gain merit.

It was a safe method, but by doing so, one would not have a foothold in the Untainted Land and his power would be also limited. Everyone would not lose the opportunity to gain merit, especially the Sages. But if one endured the Divine Punishment in the Untainted Land and convert into the physical body of Rakshasa, he would be affirmed by the Way of Heaven and would not have any more worries.

If one could not enter the Untainted Land, then what was the meaning of converting? To Minghe, he had no other choice even if the first route was dangerous. But it was not like his chance of survival was completely zero. After all, he had the Purpleheaven Thunder for the creation of Heaven and Earth between his brows.

The thunder had merged with Minghe. While it might not rival the Holy Thunder of Destruction, it could at least improve his chance of success. Minghe was also unsure when he would reach the stage of being ready for conversion. But he still had plenty of time to enhance his strength in preparation for the Divine Punishment.

Upon Minghe's return to the Blood Sea, he taught cultivation to Liuer and Chixuan while reviewing his trip to secure his mind. For cultivation, haste made waste. Rushing to cultivate did not mean one would easily reach the Breakthrough in his present realm.

Under his guidance, Liuer and Chixuan improved rapidly. Liuer was one of the Four Monkeys of Destruction and the other was a Divine Beast, the Kylin. Both had immense talent and were under Minghe's mentorship, no doubt they cultivated quickly.

Another 3,000 years passed in a flash. On Sacred Island of Blood Sea, two shadow figures fought each other with a spear and a rod. Though there was no trace of supernatural power being used, the impact generated from their physical bodies alone was not something ordinary immortals could withstand.

Their impact completely dissipated after traveling a short distance. 64 flags danced around them not too far away, in the primordial Eight Trigrams formation with the ability to trap, attack, and puzzle, and absorbed the impact.

Two figures stopped after staggering away from each other in a move. They were naturally Liuer and Chixuan. In the short span of just 3,000 years, Liuer's Arcane Way of Divine Beings had reached the sixth level in Secondary Stage, akin to the Secondary Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. But the realm of his Original Spirit was only at the Early Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

Though Chixuan had to start over again, his current cultivation had surpassed his previous cultivation. Currently, he had reached the Late Stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. Thanks to the primordial strength in his physical body, his cultivation started at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and was lesser than Liuer's on only one level. It was obvious that Chixuan took the Tao of Original Spirit while Liuer took the Tao of Physical Body. Both grew in their own ways.

Appearance-wise, Liuer had changed a lot compared with his first time in Mount Buzhou for a master. He now had a Black Golden Stick in hand and wore a Phoenix-feather Cap, a Golden Chain Mail Shirt, a pair of Cloud-walking Boots, and a Cloudy Brocade Red Rob. Damn, this was completely a replication of Sun Wukong from the book Journey to the West .

But Liuer looked way better by comparison. Sun Wukong's Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod was just a refined Postcelestial Spiritual Treasure with additional merits gained from controlling floods. As for his Golden Chain Mail Shirt, it was taken from the East Sea. While dashing, they were basically useless.

Liuer's appearance was different. His rod was refined in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth by mixing different refined ingredients with a dash of merit. That rod became a Top Grade Merit Spiritual Treasure of Origin. It weighed 24,600 jin and could change in size, with the ability to kill without incurring karma.
