The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Chapter 257: The Setup



King Zhou immediately began to consider after hearing the words of Minghe. Since his royal uncle Bi Gan and important officials like Grand Preceptor Wenzhong could manage the court well, Shang Dynasty would never become a scene of chaos, so Sages could not attack mortals. If they did so, they would leave a bad image in the Human Tribe, which might greatly influence their preaching. Besides, many disciples of Tribe of Severity were also in court, so Tongtian Sect Leader would not just stand by if Sages launched their attack.

Then, the most effective and also the simplest way was to deal with him, the Human Sovereign first. As long as the Human Sovereign became fatuous and tyrannical, those important officials would have no ways to stop the Sovereign even if they wanted to. At that time, Shang Dynasty would naturally become a mess. This made King Zhou sweat heavily, for he was just a Golden Immortal in this life even though he was in the Realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in his previous life. How could he defend himself from attacks from he Sages?

Thinking of this, King Zhou suddenly understood what Minghe said a few minutes ago. It turned out that Minghe did not mean to threaten him but he just told the truth. King Zhou then bow to Minghe and asked, "My great Ancestor, please save me." King Zhou wanted to remain safe and sound all his life even when he was Wu Zhiqi in his previous life. However, a task which could not be refused found him, so he became involved in reincarnation. He could finally cultivate for longevity again, so he certainly did not want to be killed by Sages again

Seeing King Zhou came to realize the reality, Minghe then said with a smile, "As long as you do as I said, I will save your life. If I don’t want to save you, I would not enlighten you when you were just born and gave you the cultivating exercises Spiritual Treasure. Apart from these, I have also done many other things. Don’t you realize that your one hundred thousand imperial guards are very special?"

Minghe’s words suddenly occurred to King Zhou that the imperial guards his Zhaoge City now was the troop he relied on to conquer the whole country before, which was invincible. In addition, King Zhou felt a sense of kinship with them, so he asked them to protect Zhaoge after he became king. Since Minghe mentioned it, he himself also thought it was a little bit strange, so King Zhou asked curiously, " What’s so special about my Imperial guards? Please tell me."

Minghe laughed and said, "As I found you had reincarnated as King Zhou, I selected a hundred thousand soldiers from the Ashura tribe to form an Ashura army, sent them into incarnation and made them members of the Human Tribe. Since they also carried some Origin of Shura during the process of incarnation, it was natural for you to feel familiar with them. With a troop of hundred thousand soldiers, you could surely conquer the Human Tribe."

After hearing Minghe’s words, King Zhou came to understand why he felt familiarity with his troop of a hundred thousand soldiers. It was because that they shared the same Origin. Besides, the reason why King Zhou and all of those soldiers could become stronger quickly during the battles was due to the effect of Origin of Ashura. As for the Ashura Tribe, Evil Spirit and senses of killing were the best tonics for cultivation.

However, King Zhou still could not understand why Minghe would turn those hundred thousand tribesmen into members of the Human Tribe. Did he only do this to increase the Shang Dynasty’s strength? Therefore, King Zhou asked, "What’s Ancestor’s aim to arrange the incarnation of those hundred thousand Ashura members? Is it related to the mission you asked me to complete? Please advise me."

Minghe replied, "This troop naturally has its role to play. During the Battle of Gods Investiture, humans will fight with humans, and immortals will deal with immortals, as will Sages. So immortals will not kill the Human Tribe. This army will become the fatal tool to be used on all of them. What you should do now is to hide it and pretend to not care about the affairs of court, making Shang Dynasty become a mess. Only this way can the three religions be involved."

King Zhou soon understood that Minghe was preparing a great plan. The turmoil of Shang Dynasty would become a bait to lure Tribe of Humanity, Clan of Enlightenment and Western Religious Sect. As King Zhou still had his own concerns, so he could only say, "As Ancestor ordered, I will certainly obey you. However, I’m afraid that Ancestor’s plan will be influenced if the Sage attacked me secretly."

Minghe laughed, "I know what you are worried about. I have my arrangement, so take it easy and just do what I said. "Then, Minghe gave a brocade box to King Zhou. King Zhou was pretty happy when saw what was in that box. He hurriedly thanked Minghe,"Your Ancestor, thank you for giving me this treasure, I will not disappoint you. "The excited expression on King Zhou’s face greatly showed that the treasure in the box was extremely valuable.

Looking at the excited King Zhou, Minghe finally instructed, "Wu Zhiqi, you will gain a lot from me after you finish the mission. Good luck to you. "Minghe then disappeared after saying those words. After Minghe left, King Zhou stood up and looked at the brocade box in his hand carefully. He was slightly worried while feeling excited at the same time. Being involved in the conflicts among the Sages, he could only just take it one step at a time.

Minghe then stood in the sky above Zhaoge City, overlooking this prosperous city. Though the people there lived a happy life now, the Cultivation Tribulation and wars of God Deification Ceremony would turn this city into a mess. A turmoil would certainly occur in the Human Tribe, while Minghe would not give up his plan because of the mercy he felt. In addition, it was the will of Heaven, what Minghe did was just to speed up the process.

Since the plan related to King Zhou was set up, Minghe had no reason to continue staying here. He rode the cloud and left. The God Deification Ceremony had begun, all Sages were preparing their plans, so Minghe naturally needed to prepare more. Although King Zhou’s role was effective, it was not enough. Minghe needed to find more resources.

···

Right among the mountains outside Chentang Pass, many Wild Beasts lived there and barely any human beings would go to that place. However, a flourishing peach forest grew among such mountains with the scent spreading out for miles. The Wild Beasts nearby were also attracted by this scent, but it seemed that something scary was in that forest and none of them dared to get close to that forest.

Right at this time, a red light suddenly strikes down to the ground from the sky, which made the frightened Wild Beasts around and they fled as if it were some horrible thing. However, after that red light faded, a child about seven or eight years old showed up. He carried a Fire-tipped Spear and stood on Wind Fire Wheels. Red Armillary Sash was twining around his shoulder and Immortal-bundling Rope was hanging around his waist. It was Nezha who was born after three and a half year’s pregnancy.

Nezha was the disciple of Liu Er now. Liu Er was living outside Chentang Pass for the time being, and he would plant a peach forest wherever he went, for he liked eating peaches very much. Since Chentang Pass was not far from here, it was very convenient for Nezha to go between here and his home in Chentang Pass. As for why those beasts would feel scared of him, that was because he always bullied those beasts badly although he did not think his actions to them were bully.

Glancing at those escaping Wild Beasts, Nezha murmured angrily, "Humph! Am I that scary? It seems that I gain no good impressions by feeding you all those peaches, I will never feed you all again." Nezha always fed those beasts with peaches Liu Er planted, so those beasts both loved and hated him.

Without paying too much attention to those fleeing wild beasts, Nezha kept his Wind Fire Wheels and ran towards the peach orchard. Meanwhile, he shouted, "Master, master, where are you? I’m here to greet you." However, his impatient behavior was totally not appropriate at all to greet a master, he was lucky that Liu Er his master did not care too much about it, otherwise, Nezha would have already been reprimanded.

At the center of the peach orchard, a house made up of bamboos sat amidst it, which was well-designed. The designer was obviously Yaoji. Right now, Liu Er was lying on a stone bench alone, enjoying the peaches. As for Yaoji, she went to see Peach Blossom Fairy and Yang Chan several days ago. Liu Er was leisurely staying here alone.

After hearing Nezha’s voice, Liu Er sat up. Seeing Nezha running to him in a hurry, he questioned, "Nezha, didn’t I make it clear that you need to cultivate the Magic Skills I taught you at home now? Why are you here again?" To be honest, Nezha was too naughty, which gave Liu Er a headache every time he saw him. Especially, every time Nezha came, Liu Er’s peach orchard would be badly damaged, so he could only ask Nezha to cultivate at home.

Liu Er just taught him new a Magic Skill a few days ago, however, Nezha came to him again in such a short time. This definitely made Nezha a headache for Liu Er. Hearing Liu Er’s words, Nezha laughed and said, "Master, see, I have already mastered the Magic Skills you taught me. Turn!" Suddenly, Nezha turned into a man with three heads and six arms, holding the Magic Weapons in every hand, which looked very powerful.

Seeing this, Liu Er, it was a bit surprised that Nezha’s talent was very good. The Magic Skills of three-headed six-arm was the result of his Enlightenment of the Ashura Real Body. He did not expect for Nezhato get the hang of it only within a few days. Nezha was really a talent. Recruiting Nezha as his disciple was one of the best things he had done. Nezha had enough cultivation and aptitude to prop up the banner of the third generation disciple of the Blood Sea.
