After some time, the Chaos was restored to calm again. Minghe’s horrific vital force was also restrained. After opening his eyes, Minghe felt the power surging inside him and his Three Separations. He could not help smiling because his hard work had paid off.

Most importantly, Heaven and Earth Taoist had swallowed the World of Five Elements in one fell swoop. The World of Heaven and Earth developed rapidly once again. With the integration of the Origin of the World of Five Elements, the World of Heaven and Earth did not become unstable due to its rapid development. That was what Minghe wanted. He would prefer for the World of Heaven and Earth to remain stable, rather than it having hidden dangers caused by rapid development.

The key to the growth of a world was its foundation. Now, the World of Heaven and Earth had swallowed the Origin of the World of Five Regions all at once, so it naturally developed at an amazing speed. Heaven and Earth Taoist deliberately slowed down its development. For the development of the world, everything needed to be improved. It could take a long time to assimilate all the gains this time.

It also satisfied Minghe’s mind. During this period, Minghe’s strength developed surprisingly quick. Thus, it was time for him to slow down and attend to practice for a while. Moreover, it was difficult for him to have a skyrocketing rise because he was already so powerful. Thus, he might as well study the refinement of the Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. Although the Spiritual Treasure was a foreign object, it also could greatly improve one’s strength.

At the thought of the Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, Minghe could not stop thinking about Hongjun, who was also in Untainted Land. Regarding the refinement of the Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, Hongjun was obviously far ahead of Minghe. Now, in Untainted Land, Minghe was unclear about how Hongjun would improve his strength. He was also uncertain if his Zixiao Palace would be promoted to a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. All of this was unknown.

Since he could not predict Hongjun’s growth, he only could strengthen himself. He and Hongjun might not be enemies, and they would probably team up with each other, but they had to cooperate based on having the same strength. Otherwise, he would be in a disadvantageous position and be subject to others at any time. It was not what he wanted, so he could only choose to strengthen himself.

He wanted to have a Closed Door Meditation, so he naturally needed to find an appropriate place. Minghe had made his decision earlier. It was absolutely the best place for Closed Door Meditation. Meanwhile, it was also suitable for comprehending the Divine Law. Besides, it was good for improving one’s control over the Divine Law. Though it was a little dangerous, it was still a good choice.

…

In another world, a gigantic palace towered aloft up in the ninth heaven. A plaque hung above the palace gate with the characters “Zixiao Palace” written on it. Inside the main hall, Hongjun was sitting upright above the cushion. Mysteriously, his vital force was looming. The weird vital force was full of danger, which was terrifying.

…

In the Chaos, a grey-robed Taoist held a cyan long sword. He brandished the sword and a mass of Sword Aura generated. In every place that it swept through, it stirred up the Chaos. All the Ominous Beasts of the Chaos died from the Sword Aura. After the Taoist took their corpses and collected their Origin of Chaos, his vigor and vitality also disappeared. Then, he became an ordinary Taoist and moved on in the Chaos.

…

In Untainted Land, Minghe, Hongjun, and Sect Leader Tongtian’s departure had little influence on the living beings of Untainted Land. Currently, neither the Sages nor experts of the Origin could start making a move in Untainted Land, which had already become the stronghold of the Sages-to-be.

Although Untainted Land was somewhat turbulent, all the Sages turned a blind eye to it. They had seemingly given up struggling for the Luck of Untainted Land. They remained in Closed Door Meditation and had not appeared in front of all the living beings of Untainted Land for a long time. It was like the calm before the storm. One moment, it was fine and warm, and the next, it became stormy.

That day, there was a sudden change in the situation. All the living beings of Untainted Land were shocked. Originally, they had a presentiment, but they had never thought it to be such an earthshaking change. At the same moment, all the Sages appeared in Untainted Land, as if they had discussed it beforehand. They all abandoned their identities as Sages. Sad tunes lingered between Heaven and Earth, as if lamenting over the Sages’ disappearance.

Every coin had two sides. All the Sages losing their Holy Seats were in the Realm of the Origin, which was the same as Sect Leader Tongtian. Their cultivation was naturally impaired and they had no rare treasures like the Origin of Chaos, so they had to practice through Closed Door Meditation. They once again disappeared from all the living beings of Untainted Land until they had completely restored their cultivation. At that time, they would return to the Chaos in silence and seek their own Fated Chances.

Laozi did not know what was in the Chaos. In his mind, since Minghe and Hongjun had gone to the Chaos, there had to be something attracting them there. Moreover, Tongtian had also gone there ahead of them. Thus, it was clear that Tongtian had to get some information from Minghe. Therefore, they had to go there. And because they had fallen behind the others, they had to do all they could to catch up with them.

Their and Laozi’s departure also had little effect on Untainted Land. Everything went on as usual. All parties kept accumulating their strength. Although there would not be any big disputes, all parties could only save themselves from damage by possessing enough strength. Otherwise, once there was terrible confusion in Untainted Land, all parties would allow themselves to be trampled upon. And no one wanted to see that.

During the period of the absence of the Sages and those in the Origin, powerful parties fought for supremacy in Untainted Land. First, in the Heavenly Court—which was presided over by Haotian and Yaoji, who were two experts among the Sages-to-be—along with the Investiture of the Gods, and the justice in the supervision of Untainted Land, it all went smoothly. It became stronger and stronger day after day. Most of the Individual Cultivators in Untainted World went to the Heavenly Court to settle down.

Originally, Honourable Ancestor Hongjun let Haotian and Yaochi control the Heavenly Court. At that time, he had combined his body with the Tao, thus he represented the Way of Heaven. Even if Hongjun were to leave right now, Haotian and Yaochi were still righteous. At present, the Heavenly Court had powerful strength and Haotian also had the betrothal gifts from Liu Er for marrying Yaoji. Therefore, it would not be difficult to expand the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court was strong, but several parties were not under its control. First—the Human Tribe. And to be exact, the Holy Land of the Human Tribe. Although it hid away from the world, the tribe was the most influential party in Untainted Land. Its strength was terrifying at that time, and it had been secluded for a long time, so no one dared to provoke it.

Second—the Blood Sea. Despite Laozi and the others leaving, Liu Er had not gone away. Although he could not launch an attack, he still had strong deterrence as a Rakshasa. And even without Liu Er’s deterrence, the descendant of the Blood Sea was also powerful enough to shock and awe all the parties in Untainted Land, which caused them not to dare to transgress the limits.

Third—the Wu Tribe. Although Houtu had gone to the Chaos, there were still 11 Ancestors of Sorcery in the Wu Tribe. Each one had reached the Sage-to-be Realm. Certainly, aside from the flourishing Ancestor of Sorcery Xuan Ming, all the others were not strong due to their rebirth. Moreover, their resurrected human bodies were far inferior to what they had been. It would be a long time before they completely restored them.

Fourth—the Demon Tribe. Under the threat of Minghe, the Demon Tribe united again. Luya succeeded in ascending to the throne of Demon Emperor. Although he could not temporarily awe Bai Ze or Kunpeng, he was great in leading the Demon Tribe. Moreover, he was so smart because he knew how to rope in Bai Ze and Kunpeng through decentralization. Thus, the Demon Tribe began to restore its Essential Qi that had been consumed during the battle.

Fifth—Earth Immortal’s Residence. It only had Zhenyuanzi, who was at the Half Step to the Origin, but he was sufficient to deter everything. However, the disadvantage was that if Zhenyuanzi actualized the Realm of the Origin, Earth Immortal’s Residence would be in an awkward situation. Right now, the strongest person in Earth Immortal’s Residence was at the Peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. At that time, if it had no expert in the Sage-to-be Realm, its status would be far worse than before.

And finally—the four religions of Untainted Land. The Tribe of Humanity inhabited Mount Shouyang, and they were secluded from the world. The Tribe of Severity hid in the East Sea. The Clan of Enlightenment had contact with the nine provinces of the Human Tribe. As for Western Buddhism, it developed rapidly after breaking away from Taoism. Temporarily, it did not intend to fight for power. Even if it had the intention, it was useless because there was only one Sage-to-be, who was Medicine Buddha.

Certainly, another force in a relatively awkward situation was the Dragon Tribe. Even if it had Winged Rain-dragon, who was an expert in the Sage-to-be Realm, it was weak. Although a dragon was a divine beast, it was also a demon. If the Demon Tribe could command the Dragon Tribe, the Demon Tribe’s strength had to be greatly improved. Certainly, the Dragon Tribe refused to do so. Therefore, it could only lean on the Heavenly Court for making peace.

However, such a peaceful life did not last for a long time. Zhenyuanzi and Cangjie actualized the Realm of the Origin in succession. For a moment, Untainted Land seethed with enthusiasm. Later, during the Warring States Period of the Human Tribe, Kong Xuan set up Confucianism in the nine provinces of Untainted Land. Then, he established the Confucian school in the Earthstar of the small chiliocosm. Moreover, he comprehended Confucianism and chopped off Five Phases Separation. Besides that, he actualized the Origin through Confucianism and the Art of the Five Elements. It shocked all parties in Untainted Land.

Over the following days, Untainted Land seemingly entered the times of prosperity. From time to time, some people were promoted to Sages-to-be, while the old-hand Sage-to-be experts also made great progress in cultivation. Haotian, Fuxi, the Three Ancestors of the Human Tribe, Black Tortoise, Dipamkara, Kunpeng, Xuan Ming, and others were at the Half Step to the Origin in succession. Thus, Untainted Land had seemingly entered its heyday.

All the living beings of Untainted Land also discovered that although Untainted Land collapsed last time and had suffered serious damage, they accidentally found that the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth in Untainted Land began to revive. All these changes naturally came from the Way of Heaven. Unconsciously, the Way of Heaven in Untainted Land was intensified.
