Chapter 49: The Great Way of Heaven and Earth (2/2)
The Five Elements Spiritual Bead could convert the Five Element Divine Law of the world, and the Four Signs Spiritual Bead could convert Dragon, White Tiger, and Suzaku which could stabilize the four poles of the world. By then, the strength of the world would improve remarkably. If possible, Minghe had to reassess the Merit body of Heaven and Earth Taoist.
If the world of Heaven and Earth could evolve into Xiaoqian World, the strength of Heaven and Earth Taoist would be significantly improved. It would not be surprising if his power would be close to that of a Sage's. Once it grew into a world as vast as Untainted Land, then Heaven and Earth Taoist could own the power similar to the Way of Heaven.
These thoughts excited Minghe. The tour to the Treasure Gifting Rock gained him some treasures. Even though there were not many, but they were all destined for him and were quite useful. The quality of treasures overtook its quantity.
It was conceivable that when Minghe's original body, Good Separation, and Evil Separation reached the Origin Way of Great Way, even at the level of the lowest Early Stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin, he would have discourse power. Who would dare to belittle him then?
···
Hongyun hunkered on a cloud bed in Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, laboriously enlightening the Hong Meng Immortal Qi of Original Spirit in the hope of getting something. However, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi was too tricky. Minghe got nothing out of over 1,000 years, making him feel incredibly helpless.
”Perhaps I'm really not fated for the Foundation of Great Way?” Hongyun complained to himself. ”Oh, Hong Meng Immortal Qi, I've tried to gain enlightenment from you for over 1,000 years, but you still show no reaction. Why did you choose me in the first place if we're not destined?”
After so many years without results, Hongyun began to suspect his fate with the Foundation of Great Way. Did he really have to give up? In fact, he knew that it was not Hong Meng Immortal Qi that chose him, but rather Hongjun who chose him as the start of the Cultivation Tribulation.
As Hongyun was stewing in his frustration, Zhenyuanzi opened the door and walked in. Seeing Hong Yuan's frowning face, he asked, ”How did it go? Still nothing?” Hongyun nodded helplessly.
Zhenyuanzi frowned. ”Hongyun, it's been over 1,000 years yet there's still no reaction. How… how about... ” Zhenyuanzi went no further since it was hard to say so, especially to his good friend.
Hongyun looked up at the hesitating Zhenyuanzi and sighed. ”I know what you are going to say. After such a long period, I still get no reaction. Perhaps this Hong Meng Immortal Qi is not fated with me. You want to tell me to give up, don't you?”
Zhenyuanzi nodded. He did want to do so, but he could not bring himself to say it. After all, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi represented glory and a Fated Chance for every seeker of Great Way. Convincing a person to leave the chance was like blocking his fortune. Furthermore, the person was his long-time bosom friend.
Hongyun said with a complicated expression, ”I understand your worries. Not only did I fail at enlightening the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, I might bring a fatal disaster upon myself. Perhaps it's not meant to be, but it's so unfair! I've fought in Untainted Land for hundreds of millions of years, but why isn't this treasure fated with me? I'm unwilling to give up! The Way of Heaven is unfair!”
Facing a Hongyun who seemed a little off his rocker, Zhenyuanzi did not know how to continue and comforted him. ”Perhaps your Fated Chance has not arrived. You may continue your enlightenment. I just stopped by to tell that I gained some enlightenment about the Way of the Three Separations recently and needed to make my separations through Closed Door Meditation. During my meditation, you must definitely not go out!”
Even without Zhenyuanzi's warning, Hongyun knew that there were at least thousands of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals out there. Never mind the handful of Sages-to-be hiding among them. The reason why they did not launch an attack was that they were not fully-prepared. Perhaps none of them was willing to take the lead.
”I understand. Zhenyuanzi, go and start your Closed Door Meditation.” After seeing Hongyun nod, Zhenyuanzi took his leave. If Zhenyuanzi succeeded in his separation, his strength would significantly improve and he could have a better control of the following situation. There was not yet a Sage-to-be in his Late Stage in Untainted Land.
