Shortly afterwards, Zhenyuanzi, Liu Er and others killed all Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the valley. However, some of them seemed a little embarrassed. Minghe looked at all people, saying, “You must have felt that Battlefield of God and Demon restrained your strength. I guess that Battlefield of God and Demon might be much stronger than Untainted World.”

Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and others looked somewhat solemn. The stronger the world was, the more stable it was. Naturally, it had an effect on their strength, but it was not directed against them. Zhenyuanzi looked at Minghe and asked, “Fellow Taoist Minghe, you have been observing for such a long time. Have you investigated the surroundings?”

Minghe nodded and said, “The Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in the world is very special. It’s much better than primordial Spiritual Air, when used for cultivation, even for practicing Rakshasa. Outside the valley was endless mountains with abundant resources. We can settle down here temporarily. We can change location when we find a better one.”

Then, Minghe drew a suggested map based on the landform scouted by his Spiritual Thoughts. He handed it out to everyone, saying, “You can release your disciples and tribesmen now. Practising here can yield twice the result with half the effort. As long as they don’t leave the Formation of Five Elements, they won’t be in danger for the time being.”

Upon hearing this, all people felt relieved and released their disciples and tribesmen. Zhenyuanzi only brought some disciples. Three Ancestors of Human Tribe brought God Farmer, Xuanyuan, Five Emperors and some elites of Human Tribe. Liu Er only brought several people, including Chixuan. The valley was so large that it would be more than enough to accommodate a hundred times more people.

As Minghe flicked his sleeves, he released Blood God Doppelganger and millions of Ashura tribesmen from the World of Heaven and Earth. The Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth was very intense here, so it was good for them to improve their cultivation. Now they had come to the Battlefield of God and Demon, with countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos inside. Therefore, Minghe also needed to train an army for killing. Ashura tribe was the best choice.

When millions of people appeared together in the valley, it suddenly became very noisy. Everyone began to build their own palaces and houses. Since they would settle down here for some time, they could not sleep on the ground. Moreover, all of them had Magic Skills. They could move anything just by waving their hands.

Minghe paid less attention to what others did. He devoted himself to Transmitting Formation. When he was in the River between Heaven and Death, he initiated Transmitting Formation with supernatural powers. At that time, four points appeared in his mind. They should be four corresponding transmission places. Perhaps his Transmitting Formation was combined by four Transmitting Formation.

At that moment, he just chose one randomly and went to the valley. Now, he activated Transmitting Formation with supernatural powers. The four points came to his mind again. Among them, one was very far. Perhaps it was where they located in the River between Heaven and Death when they entered Battlefield of God and Demon. They seemed to be their way back.

As for the remaining three transmitting points, he wanted to have a look. As the old saying goes, the wily hare has three holes to his burrow. If they could not settle down here in peace, they had alternatives. At the thought of this, Minghe informed Zhenyuanzi, Liu Er, and others with Spiritual Thoughts. Then, they saw a flash white light from Transmitting Formation, and Minghe disappeared once again.

A streak of white light flashed at the peak of a mountain much higher than Mount Buzhou. All of a sudden, Minghe appeared on the sacrificial altar of Transmitting Formation. He quickly glanced around, and then threw five flags to arrange Formation of Five Elements all around. Later, Red Lotus Taoist and Musen flew out from his Three Flowers. They quickly killed dozens of Ominous Beasts of the Chaos nearby.

The five flags were as same as the Flag of Five Elements he used for formation in the valley. The only difference was that each of the five flags was Mid-Grade primordial supreme treasures while all five flags in the valley were Top Grade primordial supreme treasures. The two sets of flags were refined by Minghe with the Origin of 10 men in the Origin realm in World of Five Elements. Unfortunately, he did not have better materials embodying the properties of Five Elements. Otherwise, the quality would achieve a higher level.

However, two sets of Flag of Five Elements were enough. Minghe planned to give the set in the valley to Kong Xuan, who actualized with the art of the five elements and Confucianism. Kongxuan could make the most of the Flag of Five Elements, while Minghe could not make it more useful. Moreover, it was quite enough for Minghe to own one set of Flag of Five Elements.

After handling those matters, Minghe began to detect the surroundings with Spiritual Thoughts and drew a detailed map. Then, he furled the Flag of Five Elements and continued to transmit it to the next place. Minghe needed to figure out the situation of the surroundings of the four Transmitting Formations, covering an area of tens of millions of miles. Upon doing that, he could draw a map and take the next step.

Half a month later, Minghe returned to the valley where Zhenyuanzi and others stayed. Although his Spiritual Thoughts could spread to a place tens of millions of miles away, it was difficult to figure out all circumstances of the area that spanned tens of millions of miles. It naturally needed a lot of time, but luckily, he only spent half a month.

Looking at the map he drew, Minghe was lost in thought. Compared with the other three Transmitting Formations, the valley was the most suitable place for their Tribe formation. The other three places were as follows: One place was a mountain higher than Mount Buzhou. One place was a nearby river. Another place was above a plain. All in all, the valley was the best choice.

The Battlefield of God and Demon was a big Fated Chance to actualize the Origin for Minghe, Zhenyuanzi and Liu Er, as it was for the people they brought here. In order to train these people who had not actualized the Origin, it was necessary to have a stable foothold. When their talents advanced, they could assist Minghe and the others.

Although the peak could hold millions of people, it was not suitable for residences. As for the remaining two places, one was near river and the other was close to a plain. There were countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the plain, so it was not a good place to live. Even with Formation of Five Elements, it was of no use. At that time, frequent fightings were unavoidable. These people might have been injured seriously before they were brought up.

Besides people from Untainted Land, people from other worlds in the Chaos also came to Battlefield of God and Demon. Although they had no idea about the number of people from other worlds, Minghe’s party could be fearless of other worlds as long as they were strong enough. Until then, they would have more advantages when struggling for resources in Battlefield of God and Fated Chance Demon claimed by the Great Way.

From the map, among the four Transmitting Formations, only the one near the river was close to the valley. When he detected that with Spiritual Thoughts, Minghe discovered a big piece of the same area between the surroundings of two Transmitting Formations, covering an area of tens of millions of miles. It indicated that the two places were hundreds of millions of miles away from each other at most. The remaining two places had no intersection with each other.

Thus, Minghe could explore the surrounding areas based on the two Transmitting Formations to revise his map. If possible, when Ashura tribe was strong enough, he could build cities in the two places, arrange tactical formation, and wipe out the nearby Ominous Beasts of the Chaos. Then, he could gradually develop the other areas based on the two places.

It was similar to striving for the throne and hegemony, but Minghe contended for resources and Fated Chance. Since there were countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos in Battlefield of God and Demon, it would be too slow to collect the Origin of chaos only by Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, and several others. If Human Tribe and Ashura tribe developed in Battlefield of God and Demon, it would be much easier to wipe out Ominous Beasts of Chaos.

Certainly, there was another advantage. When they were strong enough, Minghe could leave without worries and go to other areas in Battlefield of God and Demon to seek for Fated Chance. According to the situations of the places around the four Transmitting Formations, Minghe could roughly predict that their position might be the edge of Battlefield of God and Demon, because he found that Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in the four places were different.

It was similar to the other worlds. The closer to the world center, the stronger the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth. Perhaps the place where things were transmitted by Transmitting Formation in River between Heaven and Death was the peripheral area of Battlefield of God and Demon. The place was relatively safe and easy for Tribe formation. It might have been planned by the Great Way.

Although they did not know the reason, they felt that the Great Way did not want them to die so quickly. Only in the peripheral area, these men in the Realm of Origin could survive. If they went deep into Battlefield of God and Demon, they would have a slim chance of surviving. After all, the stronger Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth was, the stronger the treasures and Creatures would be born. In the depth of Battlefield of God and Demon, there might be monsters in the Realm of Fate.

Now, Minghe needed to lead Zhenyuanzi’s party, Human Tribe, and Ashura tribe to settle down in the peripheral area of Battlefield of God and Demon. This was the only way for them to plot to get the areas inside. Most importantly, there might be Fated Chance in the peripheral area of Battlefield of God and Demon. After looking around with Spiritual Thoughts, Minghe also discovered some unusual places.

If there were treasures, there must be Mysterious Sign. When he drew the map, Minghe discovered many places with mysterious signs. Although he did not know the details, he thought that it would be harmless to collect all treasures from these places. Minghe was most curious about one place, where he felt something familiar.

It was the first time he entered Battlefield of God and Demon. How could it be familiar to him? Obviously, it was a little abnormal. Since it had been discovered, he would go to have a look, so as not to miss some Fated Chance. As for danger, there should be nothing in the peripheral area that could bring about a fatal threat to Minghe. He was also aware that he had to be careful because the world looked really strange.
