Chapter 370: Strange Thoughts
After leaving the collapsed peak, Minghe flew to the Transmitting Formation in Haotian’s memory. The Transmitting Formation was close to the center of the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. The Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law was more intense here than it was in other places. Naturally, it was of great benefit to Minghe’s cultivation to arrange a super Spirit Gathering Formation there.
Certainly, Minghe had his own plan, so he went to the Transmitting Formation. After all, Haotian had originally gone to the Battlefield of Gods and Demons from the Transmitting Formation. In the Medium Layer, a detailed record was made of the areas near the other side of the Transmitting Formation. Although the years went by and some things had died, there were general signs to be tracked. Otherwise, he could have only explored it by himself from the beginning.
Along the way, he did not fly or dive down very quickly. In every place that he passed by, all the Ominous Beasts of Chaos were killed by him. As a result, he naturally collected abundant Origin of Chaos. Nowadays, the Origin of Chaos of the Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the Zenith Heaven Realm were becoming scarcer and were less effective for his cultivation. Only those at the Half Step to the Fate Realm were very effective.
Minghe was not addicted to killing. Collecting so much Origin of Chaos was not much help for his cultivation, but it naturally had other uses. At present, the God-killing Spear, Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, and Original Body of Evil Separation began to change to Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Except for the refining limit of the Chaos, they also needed plenty of Origin of Chaos to facilitate their change from the Primordial Origin to the Origin of Chaos.
Without much Origin of Chaos for their absorption, it would take a lot of time to realize the transformation only by virtue of the Primordial Origin. Even if the transformation was successful, the Origin of Chaos might not be strong enough. Until then, it could affect the power of these Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Since the Origin of Chaos was abundant in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, it would be advisable to waste some, rather than affect the power of the Magic Weapon.
Aside from the Ominous Beasts of Chaos, he plundered all the Treasures of Heaven and Earth that he discovered along the way. For this purpose, he made a lot of detours. And as the saying goes, "Hard work is always rewarding", Minghe could use the precious materials and Spiritual Medicine that he had collected to refine weapons, refine elixir, and directly absorb for a long time.
Now, in the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, he could be exposed to great danger at any time. Even if he had already been invincible in the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Minghe did not lower his guard at all. After all, the people in the Medium Layer could go back to the Lower Layer. Even if he had already surpassed the Fate Realm, Minghe could be suppressed to the Half Step to the Fate Realm. However, as long as he remained in the realm, the strengths he displayed to would be incomparable with the ordinary Half Step to the Fate Realm.
Although the probability was not high, it would be better for him to be well-prepared once that happened. Obviously, he had his own agenda to collect so many materials for refining weapons and Spiritual Medicine. He did fine with Spiritual Medicine. However, he was not good at refining elixir. Thus, most of the materials for refining weapons were directly absorbed by him. Although it was somewhat wasteful, he would not have to spend much time studying and refining elixir.
What Minghe needed most were materials for refining weapons. Although the God-killing Spear, Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, and Red Lotus of Fire had already begun to change to Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, as long as the Primordial Limit and the Primordial Origin had completely turned into the Limit of Chaos and the Origin of Chaos, they could be promoted to Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. In Minghe’s opinion, such a promotion was still defective.
The God-killing Spear, Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, and Red Lotus of Fire were formed by the division of the Green Lotus of Fate, a Supreme Treasure of the Chaos. Their own qualities were top-notch among the Primordial Supreme Treasures. In order to promote them to Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, the best way was to mix them with some materials for refining weapons at the level of the Chaos because their own materials had a slight deficiency. In doing so, their materials could be improved, and they could realize perfect promotion.
However, it was not easy to mix them with some materials for refining weapons at the level of the Chaos. After all, all materials had their own advantages and features. Not all materials were compatible. Minghe still needed to choose some materials of the Chaos that matched with their properties. Only in this way could their qualities be improved. Otherwise, if their properties were in conflict, they would probably fail in their promotion or even suffer destruction.
Besides this, Minghe naturally had other plans. Among the Three Laws of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays, he did not excel in the Law of Elixirs, but he was proficient in the Law of Weapons and the Law of Arrays. Currently, he was able to refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos with the Law of Weapons. This could be of great help to him. Although he did not want to depend on other things, it would be a great advantage to have a powerful Spiritual Treasure of Chaos while fighting an enemy.
His Law of Weapons had reached a new level now, but his Law of Arrays still remained at the same stage it was while he was in Untainted Land. In the Four Mysterious Formations of Untainted Land, he had mastered the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation, Cosmic Stars Formation, and Veridical Martial Origin Formation at the beginning. And for Sect Leader Tongtian’s God-killing Sword Formation, Minghe had already grasped its essence when he was remedying the God-killing Sword Formation before. If he liked, he could reproduce a God-killing Sword Formation at any time.
However, the Four Mysterious Formations was amazing, but they became less and less effective with the improvement of cultivation. Currently, they still could play some role in the Lower Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. When in the Medium Layer, their functions would probably be limited. In the Zenith Heaven Realm, the Four Mysterious Formations might be considered powerful. However, they might not be so powerful in the Fate Realm due to the difference in levels.
To ensure that they could continue to function, it was necessary to make improvements. When Minghe saw the Cosmic Stars Formation concealed by the Heavenly Court, an idea for improvement arose in his mind. Even if he made the most of the Cosmic Stars Formation that he had mastered, its power would not go beyond that of the Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm.
However, the Cosmic Stars Formation concealed by the Heavenly Court was totally different. Previously, when he blended the Heavenly Court into the World of Heaven and Earth, Minghe had already witnessed the power of the improved Cosmic Stars Formation. At that moment, the Cosmic Stars Banner rose from the Heavenly Court and the cosmic stars in the World of Heaven and Earth added radiance and beauty to each other. Its array had already been able to exert enormous power, which was comparable with that of the Late Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm. Without thinking of the consequences, its power might reach that of the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Obviously, the Cosmic Stars Formation arranged in the Heavenly Court had been improved by Haotian in the Eighth Period. Its array worked more abstrusely than the Cosmic Stars Formation mastered by Minghe. Furthermore, the materials for refining the Cosmic Stars Banner were not ordinary, and the power displayed by the formation naturally went beyond the common Cosmic Stars Formation.
However, it was not sufficient, even far from sufficient. Even if the Cosmic Stars Formation could exert power at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm, Minghe could break it easily. Under the circumstances, it was useless to have a formation with a power of the Zenith Heaven Realm. In the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, the experts in the Fate Realm could be seen everywhere. Perhaps it could not withstand somebody else’s strike.
What Minghe needed most was a powerful formation with the power of the Fate Realm. Now, the Four Mysterious Formations were far from sufficient. Even if there was a formation which could exert the power of the Fate Realm, Minghe could not use it. Like the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation, it also required the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery to arrange the formation. If the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery for formation arrangement reached the Half Step to the Fate Realm, the Real Body of Pangu called forth could display the strong power of the Fate Realm.
However, it was useless to Minghe. Even if he could create another Twelve Divine Beings, without the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery’s blood linkages, the power exerted by the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation was very limited. Moreover, its weakness might be exposed. Even if the fake Real Body of Pangu was called forth, its power was also limited. Furthermore, the Twelve Divine Beings would collapse thoroughly after being used only once.
This disposable formation had small gains at a great expense. Minghe would not make such a bad bargain. However, the Veridical Martial Origin Formation could naturally exert the power of the Fate Realm, but it required a lot of warriors in the Zenith Heaven Realm to set up the formation. But now, as Minghe had not broken through to the Fate Realm, his most special Blood God Doppelganger was at the Peak Level of Sage-to-be only. For formations, its power was less than Musen’s.
After he broke through to the Fate Realm, his 49 Blood God Doppelgangers could also reach the Zenith Heaven Realm of the Origin, and the Clone of Blood Gods also could get into the Sage-to-be Realm. Until then, with the help of Blood God Doppelgangers and the Clone of Blood Gods, Musen could display the Veridical Martial Origin Formation. Its power was comparable with that of the Fate Realm, but its weaknesses were also obvious.
The Veridical Martial Origin Formation was obtained by Minghe when he comprehended the character Wu at the Early Stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm. Although it was very abstruse, Minghe could discover its weaknesses based on his present vision. And since weaknesses existed, it would be feasible to break the formation. In this way, the power of the Veridical Martial Origin Formation was evident.
As for the God-killing Sword Formation, if a set of four swords of Immortal-killing at the level of Spiritual Treasure of Chaos and the Map of Formation were refined, with the addition that the users had the strength of the Fate Realm, then its power could not be underestimated. If the Map of Formation could be refined more abstrusely, in combination with sword arts, the power would be doubled. However, Minghe did not know much about sword arts. He preferred supreme power.
As for the Cosmic Stars Formation, although it had been improved by Haotian in the Eighth Period, its power after improvement still failed to meet Minghe’s expectation. Therefore, it still needed to be improved. Moreover, the Cosmic Stars Banner also needed to be refined again. After seeing the Cosmic Stars Banner concealed in the Heavenly Court, the corners of his mouth twisted. In his opinion, Haotian wasted so many good materials in the Eighth Period to refine such a Cosmic Stars Banner. Minghe could not bear it, so he decided to refine the banner again.
And as for the four magic formations, Minghe and his Three Separations could respectively comprehend and improve one formation. Minghe majored in practicing the human body, so he comprehended the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. Heaven and Earth Taoist mastered cosmic stars in the World of Heaven and Earth, so he comprehended the Cosmic Stars Formation. Red Lotus Taoist held the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, so he comprehended the God-killing Sword Formation. Musen grasped the character Wu, so he was perfect for comprehending the Veridical Martial Origin Formation. The four of them respectively occupied one formation. If they could succeed in the improvement of the formations, they could defend themselves by virtue of the power of formations after they separated from each other in the future.
