Chapter 368: Supreme Treasures Supporting Heaven and Earth
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In the Ninth Period, the Great Way never expected someone like Minghe, who could destroy the World of Seven Regions all by himself. If the Battlefield of Gods and Demons would be opened later, how many more worlds would be crushed by him? What realm would he reach?
At the thought of this, Minghe smirked. In the Eighth Period, the Battlefield of God and Demon had been opened after seven Cultivation Tribulations of Heaven and Earth. While in this period, it was opened just after the Longhan Cultivation Tribulation, the Sorcerer and Demon Tribulation, the Cultivation Tribulation, and the Western Journey Tribulation. “Was it because of my violent destruction? Could it be that way?”
“Well, I might as well forget about that. Now that it’s open, I can’t leave. Compared to the Chaos, we might as well stay here to find worlds to satisfy Heaven and Earth Taoist’s appetite. It’s more profitable here. Even without swallowing worlds, the World of Heaven and Earth can still grow.”
After entering the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Heaven and Earth Taoist consumed a lot of Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth. He had been doing this for years and had reached the Fulfilment of the medium dichiliocosm level. At the speed of his consumption, it would take at least 100 years to fully replace the original Spiritual Air in the World of Heaven and Earth.
With the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in Battlefield of Gods and Demons, the creatures in the World of Heaven and Earth grew amazingly fast. Moreover, the creatures at the Origin level would probably come into being sooner. But aside from that, there was another factor that benefited the growth of the World of Heaven and Earth. And that was the floating Air of the Divine Law.
Wherever Minghe went, Heaven and Earth Taoist swallowed all the floating Air of the Divine Law there. The Air of the Divine Law contained everything, including the 3,000 Great Ways. It was all beneficial for the growth of the World of Heaven and Earth. With the abundant Air of the Divine Law in the Way of Heaven, the World of Heaven and Earth could automatically turn into a great trichiliocosm, leading Heaven and Earth Taoist directly to the Fate Realm.
Although the Air of the Divine Law floated everywhere, Minghe still could not collect enough air overnight. However, Minghe did not need to worry about that because he had endless time.
As Haotian said, the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was divided into four districts. Haotian had only been to the Medium Layer district, however, he managed to retrieve more information—the four districts were shaped like a diamond crystal. Among them, the Medium Layer was the largest, the Lower Layer and High Layer districts were of the same size, and finally, the Core district was the smallest. However, Minghe could not confirm this information.
Indeed, it did not take much effort to enter the Medium Layer from the Lower Layer. You just needed to find the Transmitting Formation in the central region. Additionally, you could choose to cross the World Crystal Wall between the two Layers by yourself. But the wall transmitted randomly like a space storm. You could not ensure you would not be transmitted to some strong creature’s home!
But, the Transmitting Formation was not an easy way either. You would find that some authority was controlling the formation. When you were transmitted to your destination, you either chose to join them or handed over enough resources for your safety. Haotian also handed over enough resources to leave at that time.
The Lower Layer district was vast and rich in Ominous Beasts of Chaos. Also, the beasts were smarter than those in the River between Heaven and Death. You needed to put in more effort there to snatch cultivation resources and the Origin of Chaos.
When it came to the Medium Layer district, it was more vast, but in the meantime lacked Ominous Beasts. Moreover, the beasts were enlightened on their wisdom, free from the restraint of the Great Way. As long as they reached the Fate Realm, they could shapeshift and apply weapons like Minghe did.
Apart from the Ominous Beasts, creatures from the Deva-loka also made the situation here complex. Nearly every one had its own benefactor, including the Ominous Beasts. There was a vivid illustration of Darwinism here—you either fought or died.
The situation was nearly the same at every layer—the density of the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth peaked in the central space. The more Air of the Divine Law that was collected, the stronger the Treasures of Heaven and Earth that could be nurtured. Thus, powerful influences usually lived near the Transmitting Formation, and even controlled the formation.
In such cases, in order to enter into a higher Layer, you either needed to be powerful enough or clever enough to hand in the “fee”.
In the Lower Layer district of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, you could reach up to the Half Step to the Fate Realm. In the Medium Layer district, you could get to the Half Step to the Supreme Realm. And as for the High Layer, there was no mention of it in Haotian’s memory. Haotian said he had only been in the Medium Layer for a short time, but actually, he had stayed there for up to 10,000 years.
Haotian, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe, Kunpeng, and the others were already at the Half Step to the Fate Realm at that time. Unfortunately, they met an Ominous Beast at the Fate Realm. In the end, Haotian’s ghost escaped to the Lower Layer district, Minghe and Kunpeng were badly injured, and others died on the spot. If they could practice to the Half Step to the Fate Realm before entering the Medium Layer district, they would probably reach the Fate Realm in 10,000 years.
But you reap what you sow. That being said, without Haotian, Minghe would not know so much about the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. If Haotian was honest at that time, Minghe probably would not have killed him. However, Haotian was not the kind of person to trust people. He was doomed from the beginning.
In Haotian’s memory, there was indeed some analysis about the Medium Layer district influences. But that kind of information was dated long ago and would probably not fit into the new fabric. However, there really was a map to the district, which saved Minghe the trouble of exploring from scratch.
With the basic knowledge of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons, Minghe started to make a plan. Crazy as he seemed to be sometimes, he did have a plan. Now that it was dangerous in the field, he needed to plan well. He would not want to end up like Haotian, without even a chance to regret what he had done.
Heaven and Earth Taoist was repairing the Book of the Nether World, while Minghe was carefully planning. Moreover, Red Lotus Taoist and Musen, whose cultivations were less than Minghe’s, were cultivating inside the Three Flowers. They needed to put in more effort to catch up.
Over a few decades, the blazing fire in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth suddenly went out. The brand new Book of the Nether World rose from inside the cauldron. Heaven and Earth Taoist went to check and found that the book had completely recovered and was even stronger than before thanks to the primordial Treasures Aura. Besides, Heaven and Earth Taoist was not an expert in earth principles, otherwise, he could refine it to the Heavenly Court’s level. In that way, the book would be a greater benefit to the World of Heaven and Earth.
Minghe also found that the book had recovered. Thus, they smiled at each other and went out of the Heavenly Court. Then, Minghe reached out his hands and the Heavenly Court shrank right away into his palm. Once the Heavenly Court had vanished, the small world started to crumble. Without the supporting treasure, the small world might soon fall apart.
But, the world had been carefully laid out by Haotian, thus, it would not fall apart very easily. Moreover, Minghe wanted it to last a little longer. Because of the tactical formations inside, the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and Air of the Divine Law here were denser. Minghe stretched out his arms again to stabilize the world because he intended to cultivate in here for a while.
Then, they went into the World of Heaven and Earth. Looking at the expansive world, Minghe reminisced about how he built a small chiliocosm from a Heaven and Earth space, and finally took it to a medium dichiliocosm level. All that effort had paid off now, and he could not help feeling triumphant.
Then, Minghe flew over to Nine Heavens, while Heaven and Earth Taoist dived into the Earth. Over the Heavens, Minghe was lucky to see the Deva-loka that used to be 24 Sea-protection Pearls. The Deva-loka was the support source of the World of Heaven and Earth. But now, it was time to replace it with a real Heavenly Court.
Minghe stretched out his arms and the Heavenly Court in his palm flew to expand back to its original size. The Deva-loka was knocked down to be part of the Heavenly Court. At the same time, the power of the Way of Heaven was applied to refine the entire court. When the refinement was finished, the entire Heavenly Court would completely be a portion of the World of Heaven and Earth.
And in the Earth world, Heaven and Earth Taoist flipped the Book of the Nether World up in the air and pointed at it. “Transform!” The book immediately turned into a yellow light ball. Shortly after, a yellow Spiritual Dragon emerged within the ball, and then it roared and dived into the ground. From then on, Heaven and Earth would be more solid.
