The Spiritual Attainment Of Minghe Chapter 341: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Chapter 341: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Among the Three Laws Of Elixirs, Weapons, and Arrays, Minghe was most familiar with the laws of weapons and arrays. In the tactical formation, he believed he wasn't in the least lesser than Sect Leader Tongtian. Although the vital force of this tactical formation was pretty thin, he still sensed it quickly. Moreover, he was familiar with this vital force. It was relative to the art of the five elements that his second disciple Kong Xuan had practiced.

Judging from the vital force, it should be the Primordial Five Elements Formation. In the attack and defense level, this formation could not stand out. But it was based on the primordial Five Elements, and it could both attack and defend. Moreover, the Five Elements were closely connected, mutually generating and restricting each other. In the tactical formation, with the Five Elements interchanging, it could even form a World of Five Elements. Thus, it was more or less a good tactical formation.

When Kong Xuan practiced the art of the five elements, Minghe also studied the Primordial Five Elements Formation. Thus he was familiar with it. But he was surprised that it would appear in this Out-of-Law Area. Still, he didn't take it seriously. What he cared for was whether it was a human-made or natural Formation.

If it was natural, then it must have been protecting something. That might be, a fairyland or valuable treasures, which Minghe was very interested in. If it was human-made, however, that could only mean he wasn't alone here, and the other person was worth looking into. That person either came from the Untainted Land, or from other worlds in the Chaos.

Either way, Minghe wanted to find out. Driving a Puppet of the Blood G.o.d, he went along the thin vital force. He only encountered some Rare Beast of Chaos alone or in groups of twos on the way. Moreover, he found out that this region was relatively peaceful, thanks to this tactical formation.

It was no wonder. The Power of Five Elements formed the world. They mutually generated and restricted to produce everything. It was also the same outside the Chaos land. In the Out-of-Law Area where the Divine Law was lost, it would certainly become peaceful under the Primordial Five Elements Formation. But judging from the density of the Power of Five Elements, it was a new Formation. That meant it was most likely human-made.

Soon, he came near the Formation. Judging from what he knew, he believed it was artificial because a few amounts of Rare Beasts were seen on the way here. Obviously, they were lured away. Since the person was cautious like this, there must have been something good. Otherwise, why bother?

Minghe walked out of the Puppet of the Blood G.o.d and fixed it tightly. Seeing the Primordial Five Elements Formation, he was intrigued. Because judging from the Formation's power, it was either based on primordial spiritual roots or a spiritual treasure such as Primordial Flag of the Five Regions. Strong as it was, it couldn't stop Minghe. He walked straight in.

Within it stood a towering mountain, Minghe had seen one like this before, but he never entered. He even named this type of mountain metaphorically: beast nest. Ten thousand Rare Beasts occupied the mountain he had seen. Two or three dozens of The Origin vital force hid therein. He would certainly walk away from it.

He took his time to break in secretly. He was surprised to see a beast nest where few Rare Beasts of Chaos inhabited. Instead, he sensed an on-going fight within. One was the Rare Beasts; the other was the person that built the Formation. Moreover, it looked like more than one person.

"Interesting." Minghe thought. He smiled and stepped into the Void. Inside the Formation, although the Divine Law was still running wild, the wildness was much lesser. Thus, Minghe could barely exert the Law of s.p.a.ce here.

Faced with the Void s.p.a.ce turbulence, he smoothed it with a wave. But, it was still dangerous even with the Law of s.p.a.ce. He must take cautions in case the turbulence blew him out. That way his whereabouts would be revealed, which would be embarra.s.sing.

There was a giant cave inside the beast nest. Minghe discovered that the whole nest was built out of the Original Stone of Chaos. That alone appealed to Minghe. Efforts were required if he carried them home. But if there were any chance, he wouldn't have missed it.

In the cave, Minghe hid in the Void. He covered his whole body with the supernatural power to be free from turbulence burn. Then, he finally saw the fight he sensed. One was a Rare Beast of Chaos at the Late Stage of Origin, who must have inhibited here.

The other was a group of five people. Every one of them had cultivated to the Middle Stage of Origin. It was the familiar art of the five elements Kong Xuan used to practice. The difference was, Kong Xuan practiced them alone, but these five people respectively practiced one of them, corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Thus, they united to attack the bull-headed and human-bodied Rare Beast of Chaos, even though they were weak in cultivation. Then, they cooperated with a Five-element Battle Array to trap the beast. After a few rounds, the beast had lost its advantages.

The beast was indeed magnificent with a human body at the Late Stage of Origin. Even primordial spiritual treasure swords could not hurt it much. However, despite its strong body, the beast could not stand the consecutive attacks. It might die by their swords.

Minghe was actually interested in the Origin of Chaos of the beast at Late Stage of Origin, and he also admired those five people. To take such risks to hunt Rare Beasts of Chaos in a beast nest. If the Rare Beasts they previously lured away somehow returned, they would find themselves in serious trouble. They would even die here to serve the beasts.

At the thought of this, Minghe couldn't help but find it strange. Being at Middle Stage of Origin, they still risked too much simply for the Origin of Chaos of a Rare Beast at Late Stage of Origin. He wouldn't do the same. No one would do the same unless they had a safety net.

"Was there any other valuable treasure?" Thought Minghe, but he did not search through Spiritual Thoughts. In the Realm of Origin, any action would be sensed; disturbing the five people involved in a fight was no good.

Thus, he searched the whole cave with his eyes, but nothing was strange. There were only Original Stones of Chaos left. He could not sense anything. You must know that a place where Spiritual Roots and Treasure were found must have something strange. An unowned treasure could be seen through human eyes.

"Have I missed something?" Minghe frowned. Unfortunately, he could not search for the strange things through Spiritual Thoughts. He did not worry too much, for those people would not return empty-handed. He would wait until the fight was over to see the treasure.

As the Rare Beast of Chaos got badly hurt, their faces lit up. Still, they were fully aware that they could not relax at this very moment. You must know that a Rare Beast's counterattack could be astonis.h.i.+ng. They would not relax until it was finished.

In the end, so weak was the Rare Beast's vital force that they eyed each other to prepare for the last strike. "Sword of Geng Metal !" "Sword of Jia Wood!" "Ren Water Sword!" "Sword of Bing Fire!" "Wu Earth Sword!" "The Sword of Five Elements united, Kill!" They turned five swords into one and pierced through the beast.

Though they had expected it, the beast still surprised them by emitting two divine lights from its eyes. The two people controlling the Ren Water Sword and Bing Fire Sword were hit head-on and got badly hurt. But their faces lit up a little as they thought about the treasure they were getting.

Seeing this, the rest came to ask, "Fellow Taoist Xun Yuan and Fellow Taoist Yan Yang, are you alright?" The Taoist Xun Yuan answered, "I'm fine, I didn't expect that! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

However, Taoist Yan Yang was angry and cursed. "d.a.m.n, I thought it was dead. Now I suffer so much. I have to tear it apart." The Taoist was bad-tempered like Zhurong.

A leader-like man said to him, "Well, do not get angry. You and Fellow Taoist Xun Yuan will have more of its body and Origin of chaos." The man speaking was Taoist Jun Tian, and the rest were Taoist Tong Hua and Taoist Yan Xuan. These five people had accompanied each other in hunting for beasts in this Out-of-Law Area for years. It was here that their cultivation grew fast. Otherwise, they would have stayed at the Early Stage of The Origin.
