After hearing Minghe say that, Liu Er and the others were stunned. Minghe should have known that this would happen, but he was not making sensationalised claims. All 13 people had reached the Origin, but they could not survive in the River between Heaven and Death just by depending on their strength, not to mention the dangerous Battlefield of God and Demon, where everything inside was unknown.

Zhenyuanzi saw Minghe look somewhat solemn and asked, “Fellow Taoist, since you said so, you must have a certain understanding of the place, right? You’ve been in the Chaos for so many years, and your strength has improved a lot. Are you not sure how to confront with Battlefield of God and Demon?” Even though he was not clear about Minghe’s strength, Zhenyuanzi still knew that Minghe was far stronger than them.

Minghe shook his head, and turned to glance at Chaotic Storm Wall. Then, he said to them all, “As for Battlefield of God and Demon, we not only need to handle the threat from inside, but also the danger from Deva-loka of Chaos. It’s a life or death struggle for Fated Chance. Depending on my current strength, I can only survive in the River between Heaven and Death.”

They also knew that the River between Heaven and Death was a transitional zone between the Chaos and Battlefield of God and Demon. However, they had no idea about what was inside. Everyone who just rushed in did not know that. Only those who really entered the River between Heaven and Death knew its danger. Compared with those who did not know the length of the River between Heaven and Death, those people who just broke in were negligible.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Minghe began to introduce the River between Heaven and Death. “The information given by the Great Way is very clear. If you want to enter Battlefield of God and Demon, you need to find Transmitting Formation in the River between Heaven and Death, or break in Area of Space Storm. In either case, there’re many risks. Even you reach the Realm of Origin, you will probably lose your life inside.”

“You did not have to think about breaking in Area of Space Storm. Even if I had such profound cultivation now, I cannot assure that I can break in safe and sound. Moreover, if even if I break in successfully, I won’t be sure about which destination I would be sent to. Supposing that I got into a dangerous place, I was afraid that I could hardly keep myself alive. Therefore, you’d better not break into the Area of Space Storm, unless you have no other alternatives.”

“In the case of seeking Transmitting Formation, you must deal with Ominous Beasts of Chaos in the River between Heaven and Death. Among the Countless Ominous Beasts of Chaos, many have reached the Origin and a very few have reached the Peak of the Origin. Before you arrived, I saw more than 20 experts of Origin enter the River between Heaven and Death. However, they are negligible among the countless Ominous Beasts of the Chaos.”

Minghe explained everything in the River between Heaven and Death with understatement, but Zhenyuanzi, Liu Er, and others trembled with fear after hearing that. They never thought that the River between Heaven and Death could be so dangerous. It seemed to validate what happened later. All of a sudden, Chaotic Storm Wall shook and several people escaped from the wall haphazardly. Surely, they were being forced to run away by Ominous Beasts of Chaos.

Liu Er saw it and asked with a smile, “Master, you know so much about the River between Heaven and Death. I guess that you should have gone in. Have you found the Transmitting Formation? If so, we don’t need to go in the River between Heaven and Death and face the risks. Let’s be directly transmitted to Battlefield of God and Demon.”

Seeing Liu Er grin cheekily, Minghe couldn’t help but taunt, “You’re a very clever monkey. Right, I’ve found the Transmitting Formation, but it’s not the time to go in. If I want to enter, I would have gone in earlier instead of waiting for you here. That’s because I feel worried about you. Although you’re here now, I’m in no hurry to enter Battlefield of God and Demon.”

Upon hearing that, they were also surprised. Minghe continued to say, “Although there’s limitless Fated Chance in Battlefield of God and Demon, it’s also dangerous. Having reached the Realm of Origin, you can hardly take advantage in the face of Ominous Beasts of the Chaos, which reached the Origin. Instead, you’d better gain experience first in the River between Heaven and Death.”

“Similar to Wild Beasts, Ominous Beasts of the Chaos have strong bodies, but not high intelligence. The Origin of Chaos inside their bodies is the best objects for improving cultivation. When you get used to fighting with Ominous Beasts of the Chaos, it won’t be too late for us to enter again.” Ominous Beasts of the Chaos fought at close quarters. If they could not find the way to control the beasts, they would suffer losses easily.

For Minghe’s proposal, Zhenyuanzi and others naturally had no objection. Seeing this, Minghe led them to go in the River between Heaven and Death. When Zhenyuanzi and others sensed the horror of the River between Heaven and Death, they understood why Minghe had asked them to get used to this place for a while. If they had entered Battlefield of God and Demon in their current states, they would very likely take a beating.

As time went by, more and more experts of Origin went in the River between Heaven and Death. Meanwhile, Minghe also met Laozi, Origin, Tongtian, and so on in the place. Shortly afterwards, almost all those actualized the Realm of Origin in Untainted Land gathered together. Except for Hongjun, other people gradually rejoined Minghe’s party.

Minghe, Laozi, Origin, Tongtian, Goddess Nvywa, Houtu, Zhunti, Jieyin, Liu Er, Zhenyuanzi, Cangjie, Kong Xuan, Black Tortoise, Dipamkara, Haotian, Xuan Ming, Kunpeng, Suiren-Shi, Youchao-Shi, Ziyi-Shi, and Fuxi made up the 21 people at the Realm of the Origin. It was a fearsome power, further reinforced by their disciples and tribesmen in their space treasures.

The bunch of people from Untainted Land could crush everything in the River between Heaven and Death. Even the beast tide of the Chaos could not cause danger to them. Gradually, other people entering the place also began to gang up. After all, it was hard for an individual to survive in the River between Heaven and Death, let alone reap any gains.

However, the crowd may not be a good thing. Minghe and the others gathered together for the sake of interest, so they would separate for the same reason. Moreover, there was originally a wedge between them. Therefore, it would be impossible for them to sincerely cooperate. Furthermore, there were numerous Fated Chances in Battlefield of God and Demon. If they got what they wanted, no one would be willing to give way, so separation was inevitable.

After traveling around the River between Heaven and Death for hundreds of years, the nearby Ominous Beasts of the Chaos had already been sorted out. As for such beasts in other places, they would not bother to kill. They obtained a lot of the Origin of Chaos and Transmitting Formations. Instead of wasting time here, they would rather enter Battlefield of God and Demon.

All good things must come to an end. It was the time to separate. Minghe and others stopped in the River between Heaven and Death. Although they had not formally separated, they obviously split up into several parts. Laozi, Origin, Jieyin, and Zhunti teamed up. Tongtian, Goddess Nvywa, Haotian, Fuxi, and Kunpeng gathered together. Houtu and Xuan Ming formed a group. The remainder chose to be with Minghe.

That’s the way it was. Because there were so many people, inequality in the distribution of acquisition was inevitable. In due course, there would surely be conflicts. Thus, they had better choose to be apart and band together in smaller groups. In this way, they could guarantee their strength and reduce competitors at the same time. Untainted Land was divided into four parts, which met Minghe’s expectations.

Laozi, Origin, Jieyin, and Zhunti had cooperated with each other before in the Battle of Gods Investiture. Although there was animosity between Laozi and Origin, as long as there were enough benefits, they could put that hatred behind them. Each of the four people was strong, so if they joined hands, they would be well-matched against experts at the Peak of the Origin Realm. Presumably, they could survive even in Battlefield of God and Demon.

The five-person group formed by Tongtian, Goddess Nvywa, Haotian, Fuxi, and Kunpeng was a little poorer in terms of power, compared with Laozi’s four-person group. With regards to strength, Tongtian was not inferior to Laozi. Moreover, there were many Demon Tribes under the leadership of Tongtian. Thus, it was understandable for them to team up with Goddess Nvywa and Kunpeng. Although Fuxi was from Human Tribe, he and Goddess Nvywa were brother and sister, so they should join hands. As for Haotian, he was reluctant to work with Minghe due to his ambition, even if he was closer to Minghe.

Although the group was only made up of Houtu and Xuanming, their bodies were not worse than those of Ominous Beasts. More surprisingly, Houtu refined the other 11 Ancestors of sorcerer’s Blood of Essence and became Real Entity of Pangu. Although it was not complete True Body of Rakshasa, it was not far away from that. With the top 10 Ancestors of sorcerer in their Magic Weapon, it was not impossible for the two people to survive in Battlefield of God and Demon.

Naturally, Minghe’s party had the largest number of people. Other than his four disciples, Zhenyuanzi and Cangjie were more willing to follow Minghe. As for Three Ancestors of Human Tribe, it was needless to mention. The success of Human Tribe basically depended on Minghe. They were more willing to trust Minghe over the other three parties.

Looking at the departing figures of the other three parties, Minghe signed inwardly. Although some of them had personal grievances with him, it was unknown if they could meet again some other day after the separation. As for that mangled kindness and enmity, it was better to let it go. On the way to Supreme Great Way, there was no right or wrong.

The people from Untainted Land gathered and made a lot of noise, but to Minghe’s surprise, Hongjun was unresponsive. He was not sure whether he did not discern them or did not want to meet them. After all, the River between Heaven and Death was so large, as if it was endless. Thus, Hongjun probably failed to meet them.

That’s all right. Minghe did not like to grapple with problems. To him, Hongjun was a good opponent. They could be friends or enemies. However, nothing was important except Minghe himself. As long as he was strong enough, it did not matter even if his enemy was Hongjun. If Hongjun were to block him, Minghe would show no mercy.

After looking at the River between Heaven and Death again, Minghe no longer felt attached to the place. Although there was something attractive here, Battlefield of God and Demon was obviously more tempting now. Minghe stretched out his hands and summoned the Transmitting Formation. He constantly injected supernatural powers to it and its light became brighter and brighter. As the white light flashed, Minghe’s party thoroughly disappeared, as if they never appeared in the River between Heaven and Death.

When everyone who broke in the River between Heaven and Death entered Battlefield of God and Demon, the river, where the actual killing constantly took place for hundreds of years, had its calmness restored. Eyes of the Great Way appeared in the sky above the river again. It seemed to have felt joy might even be smiling.
