Chapter 318: Tragic Wu Tian
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Merits, endless merits. It had been so many years since the last merit had come. It was not comparable with the merit when all Sages were born, but there were really almost the same, of which 80 percent belonged to Wu Tian and 20 percent were divided equally between Minghe and Zhunti, as a result of Minghe helping to speed up the birth of Way of Demon and Zhunti for gestating it.
Wu Tian had absorbed many Sage origins from Zhunti, and once after the birth, he accomplished the cultivation at the early stage of the Sage. Anyhow, it was a Sage after all. What was even more peculiar, Wu Tian and Zhunti enjoyed the same Hong Meng Immortal Qi. Therefore, Wu Tian was a Sage, not a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin.
Wu Tian immediately became significantly more stable among all the Sages once the golden light of merit entered his body, and the cultivation had also been elevated greatly. For Minghe, he collected the merit with a flick of his wrist. As for Zhunti, after the merit entered into his body, he looked looked more lively instead of sickly. Now, Zhunti's Essential Qi was seriously injured, so he could not be injured further. Otherwise, he might have to fall out of the realm of the Sage.
Zhunti's face was full of hatred. He looked at Minghe as though he was going to swallow him whole. But he was so weak that he could only use his eyes to express his feelings. However, Minghe did not care about Zhunti's hatred at all. There was an enmity between them, and Minghe would have completely destroyed Zhunti earlier if not for…
In Minghe's view, the immortality of the Sage was a joke. The Sage placed their original spirits to the Way of Heaven. Therefore, as long as the Way of Heaven was immortal, the Sage could be reborn by consuming the power of the Way of Heaven. To wipe out the Sage completely, it was a must to destroy Untainted Land and the Way of Heaven. By then, the Sage would disappear accordingly as a result of them placing their original spirit to the Way of Heaven.
It was not impossible for Minghe to destroy Untainted Land, but the cost to pay would be too great and worthless if the only purpose was to exterminate the Sage. However, there was a trick to take that Minghe actually planned to try the last time, while he was destroying Zhunti's holy body. At that point, the Way of Heaven appeared indistinctly and he had just become Rakshasa. So, he could only give up.
At present, Mighe could have a try. He needed only to destroy Zhunti's holy body and more than half of his original spirit, and then seal the remaining original spirit into the Way of Heaven. In this way, Zhunti would be not regarded as dead, therefore, there would be no natural rebirth. The Way of Heaven would not use his own strength to make Zhunti recover, and the other Sages would not be able to rescue him at all, since Zhunti's impaired soul would be sealed in the Way of Heaven.
To destroy Zhunti, it was necessary to break Minghe's seal. By that time, Minghe only needed to connect the seal with the Way of Heaven. Breaking the seal would be akin to attacking the Way of Heaven and it could not be relieved with no attack. Naturally, Zhunti would recover. For a Sage, it would be a problem that had no solution. However, it was not worth for Minghe to mess up his plans because of Zhunti.
Watching Wu Tian absorbing merits of heaven, Jieyin looked at Minghe in a chilly manner and said, ”Minghe, there was Karma between us and it was natural for you to retaliate, but your actions today were really contemptible. I will definitely strike back one day.” It was clear that Jieyin was truly angry.
Hearing that, Minghe smiled, ”Jieyin, the devil was born from Zhunti's heart as a result of his poor cultivation. It was the general trend of heaven for Wu Tian's birth and re-establishment of Way of Demon. I just sped it up. As for revenge, if it's from me, it would be not so light. Although the Sages are immortals, they are not invincible. If I seal you guys into the Way of Heaven, do you think you would still have the opportunity to come out?”
The words were said by Minghe with a smile, but they made the Sage's hair stand on end. To seal them into the Way of Heaven? To Minghe, it would be not impossible. If Minghe really did that, it could be said that it would be the end of the sealed Sages, unless the Way of Heaven showed mercy, and broke the seal to release them or make them refined by self-consulting forces. Otherwise, there would be little chance of freedom.
