Chapter 42: The Third Teaching in Zixiao Palace
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
The third Teaching in Zixiao Palace would come soon, and the topic this time was of the Origin of Great Way, which was the Tao of a Sage. In due course, Hongjun would accept some disciples and gift them some treasures. Minghe knew that such supreme treasures as the Map of Taichi, the Pangu Banner, and the God-killing Sword Formation were only prepared for the six seats in front.
Actually, there were still a few things for Minghe to care about. The first was whether Hongyun would also receive one. Hong Meng Immortal Qi after the Three Pristine Ones, Goddess Nvywa, Jieyin and Zhunti were each getting one.
The second was who would own the Golden Lotus of Merit. Minghe's Evil Separation Red Lotus Taoist was converted from a Twenty-first Grade Red Lotus of Fire. He could reach the Origin after Red Lotus of Fire by swallowing a Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit that had been cultivated by at least one seed of the Golden Lotus of Merit.
If Minghe or one of his Separations reached the Zenith Heaven Immortality, he would have enough strength to match with a Sage. However, he knew that it would not be easy to get a Golden Lotus of Merit.
By now, only Minghe and the Red Lotus Taoist had a chance of reaching the Origin in a very short time. The Taoist of Heaven and Earth could not do so easily. Both Minghe and the Red Lotus Taoist were at the peak level of Sage-to-be which seemed to be only a step from the Origin. However, this step was just as difficult to cross as a natural moat.
After his meditation, Minghe watched the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe. They were the major characters in this Cultivation Tribulation. If a fight were to happen, the Cultivation Tribulation would occur ahead of time.
It seemed that the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe would not fight for a while. Emperor Jun and Taiyi did not want to miss the incoming third teaching by Hongjun because of a battle against the Wu Tribe.
The peace would not last long, and so it was time for Minghe to make a plan for his future during this fight. The Wu and Demon Tribes' Formations, Merits and Spiritual Treasures would improve his strength, and with the creation of the Human Tribe, if he could create the Ashura Tribe as well as the Shura Religion, he could receive Merit from them.
Merit was the last method to protect himself. He could use all his Merit or even damage his Golden Wheel of Merit for the Red Lotus Taoist's absorb of all the Merit and reach the Origin if he was in danger. Although this realm of Origin could only be reached with supernatural power, Minghe would have the ability to protect himself.
However, this was his last resort because the Red Lotus Taoist would need to spend a very long time strengthening his foundation if Minghe did this.
In fact, the six Sages had become Sages by their Merits. Goddess Nvywa got a grand Merit for the Creation of Humans, while the Three Pristine Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti in the west got theirs by establishing Clans. Since they owned the Foundation of Great Way to protect themselves, they could rely on their Original Spirits and the Way of Heaven to make up for their weakness in the realm.
The Foundation of Great Way! Minghe wouldn't let it go if he got it. He might gain insight into the Way of Heaven with it, or even become a Sage after combining his Merit. However, Minghe believed this was even worse than his last plan.
What Minghe pursued was to overpass the Way of Heaven, not to be a Sage of the Heavenly Way. A Sage of the Heavenly Way would definitely die if he couldn't bring his Original Spirit back from the Way of Heaven when the Untainted Land was destroyed by the immeasurable Cultivation Tribulation.
DING! DING! DING Bells rang in the Untainted Land. Minghe woke up upon hearing the voice of Hongjun. ”Tens of thousands of years have passed by, and I will start to teach the Origin of Great Way in Zixiao Palace. The fated ones can come to listen.”
