The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe-Chapter 342: The Siskin following behind
Chapter 342: The Siskin following behind

But these five Taoists were different from Minghe, who was now a Rakshasa. A Rakshasa's Origin was the Origin of chaos, thus he could directly absorb the Origin they had hunted. However, the five of them acquired Fruit of Origin through The Tao of Divine Law. Therefore, their Origins were still primordial Origins. They could only consume the Origin through other means.
There were two ways for a non-Rakshasa to absorb the Origin. One was through Body Tempering , that blended the Origin into your body and slowly turning it into the nutrition of your body. The other was through conversion which took a lot of time. You have to slowly turn it into primordial Origin, and then have it blend into your own Origin. Although both ways worked, you would still waste a lot of the Origin.
By Body Tempering, you could only consume about 80 percent of the Origin. By conversion, you could only obtain 60 percent of it. Either way, the Origin would still be wasted. Although before he turned into Rakshasa, Minghe did the same as well. Thus, he chose to do it through Body Tempering so he could consume more.
Judging from their appearances, they did not seem to have absorbed it through Body Tempering. They must have chosen to convert it instead. They had cultivated to Middle Stage of Origin, thus their Origin should be strong, which meant it was not their first time hunting here.
What interested Minghe more was who were those five Taoists. If they were willing to work together, it meant that they knew each other long ago. Moreover, the rapport they have shown meant that they trusted each other very much. Without that kind of trust, they wouldn't have come to such a dangerous place.
" Where did they come from? " The two small chiliocosm Treasures Worlds that Minghe had destroyed there was an expert of Origin in Treasures World, but he was only at Early Stage of The Origin. Yet there was none in Beasts World. The most capable one was just at Sage-to-be level. If these five Taoists came from the same world, then this world would be comparable to Untainted Land.
" A world like Untainted Land? " The thought appealed to Minghe a lot. If the World of Heaven and Earth could swallow a world like this, which Realm would Heaven and Earth Taoist reach? But to do so would be extremely difficult. After all, there was always the Way of Heaven in every world. Minghe must follow the Way to get what he wants.
Either way, Minghe would pay a visit to the world they came from. However, for now, he wanted to know why they came here. If they were purely for hunting Rare Beast of Chaos, it was too risky. They could have hunted beasts at Early or Middle Stage outside. Apparently, they had other motives.
Taoist Xun Yuan looked at the beast's carcass and the Origin of chaos in the hand of Taoist Jun Tian. His face lit up even though he was badly hurt. Then, he glanced over the cave and asked Taoist Jun Tian, "Fellow Taoist Jun Tian, where's the thing you mentioned?"
Hearing Taoist Xun Yuan question, Taoist Yan Yang, Tong Hua, and Yan Xuan turned to look at Taoist Jun Tian. Obviously, they bore the same question. They could not see anything valuable except the carcass in the cave. It was because of the treasure Taoist Jun Tian had mentioned that they took such a risk to hunt here.
Feeling the pressure, Taoist Jun Tian led the four of them to the deepest of the cave and there stood a pedestal. It was where the vital force of the Rare Beast of Chaos at Late Stage of Origin lay. It looked normal, except for the strange lines on the pedestal.
Minghe's eyes shone at the sight of this. It must be the thing Taoist Xun Yuan talked about. The lines did not resemble any tactical formation or Spiritual Treasure, but it looked weird. Moreover, it seemed to be carved on the Original Stone of Chaos. There was nothing extraordinary about it.
Taoist Jun Tian looked at the more bewildered four Taoists and explained. "Remember the last time we got separated by a herd of beasts when we came to hunt, I came here by chance and survived the attack. The Rare Beast of Chaos was here then."
At this point, Taoist Jun Tian got excited and said, "That was when I discovered this. These lines are like a weird Transmitting Formation picture. Last time I was here, the lines shone strangely and revealed something odd. However, the beast gobbled it up."
Taoist Tong Hua frowned and said, "Something odd? Was it the Origin of chaos? But you should have recognized it. Even the beast wanted that so it must be something good. However, we don't know when the lines will shine again. We can't be waiting here forever."
"We could carry this thing home!" Taoist Yan Yang said hurriedly. He couldn't hold back his excitement. If they could carry it home, they didn't have to come here time and time again. They nearly got killed here several times.
The rest also agreed. If a Rare Beast of Chaos coveted something here, it indicated that there must be something extraordinary. Moreover, if they own this place, they would own a shortcut to continuously obtain treasures. By doing so, not only would they save time to practice, but also they do not have to come to such a dangerous place anymore.
At this moment, the silent Taoist Yan Xuan spoke. "A good though that might be, but the problem is these lines are carved on the Original Stone of Chaos. By my judgment, the whole cave was made out of a compact Original Stone of Chaos. Before we cut out the pedestal, those Ominous Beasts of the Chaos will have returned."
Taoist Yan Yang exclaimed. "Then we'll remove the whole cave. Anyway, the stone is great for refining weapons. We could make it into Magic Weapons." He was enlightened on The Law of Fire. Thus, he knew that the most important step in refining weapons was melting the ingredient. If the ingredients were not completely melted or purified, even the best refining method would just be a waste of effort.
Removing the whole cave? The other four showed a reluctant face. One must know that an ordinary space Magic Weapon could not hold such a large cave. Moreover, the cave was embedded in the Chaos of this Out-of-Law Area. If they removed it, its disappearance may cause turbulence in the Chaos, the Divine Law and space. They could not afford to bear the consequence.
The most terrible part was, once it fell apart, nearby beasts would be drawn here. What would they do then? Faced with tens of thousands beasts at The Origin level, how would they escape? Even if someone did, it was nearly impossible that all five of them could make it.
In the middle of the dilemma, Taoist Jun Tian spotted something and cried. "Who is it?" The other four looked in the direction he looked at and Taoist cloth in black robe emerged. All of them were not aware of his presence. If this man were to sneak an attack behind their backs when they were battling with the Beasts, they would be in dire consequences.
Seeing him, the five Taoists' faces turned cold. The man must have been hiding since the beginning. He must have heard them their words and hence decided to show his face to understand their real intention. Thus, the group's Killing Intent soared, and they decided not to leave him alive.
That man was none other than Minghe who was hiding in the Void. Feeling their intent, Minghe grinned and said, "Well, since you guys can't remove it by yourself. I'll have to do it. The beasts will return soon, you'd better not stay here too long."
Hearing Minghe's words, Taoist Jun Tian became furious. Who would have thought that there would be a thief who coveted their treasures? He answered coldly . "Well, we discovered it first, and we killed the beast for it. You followed us here sneakily and you want to steal our treasures? There's no such thing. Walk away now and we'll go easy on you."
To be frank, Taoist Jun Tian feared him. Firstly, he secretly broke into their Primordial Five Elements Formation and hid in the den. Now he fearlessly showed up in front of them. Thus, he must be confident in his ability and was most probably stronger than all of them.
Secondly, it was difficult to either cut the Original Stone of Chaos or remove the whole den, especially to do it before those beasts returned. And yet, this man still said such words, his capability was obvious.
