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 people acquired Fruit of Origin through The Tao of Divine Law. Therefore, their Origins were still primordial Origins. They could not consume the Origin without any means.
There were two ways for a non-Rakshasa to absorb the Origin. One was Body Tempering, that blended the Origin into your body, slowly turning it into the nutrition of your body. The other was Converting, which took a lot of time. You have to slowly turn it into primordial Origin, and then have it blended into your own Origin. Although both ways worked, you would still waste a lot.
By Body Tempering, you could only consume about 80 percent of the Origin. By Converting, you could only obtain 60 percent of it. Either way, the Origin would be wasted. Although before he turned Rakshasa, Minghe would do the same. Thus, he chose to do it in Body Tempering way, by which he could consume more.
Judging from their appearances, they did not seem to absorb through Body Tempering way. They must have chosen Converting way. 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 those five taoists were. If they were willing to work together, it means 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?" Minghe had destroyed two small chiliocosm Treasures Worlds. There was indeed 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, it must be hard to do that. After all, there was always the Way of Heaven in every world. Minghe must follow the Way to get what he wanted.
Either way, Minghe will 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 both 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, both Taoist Yan Yang, Taoist Tong Hua, and Taoist Yan Xuan turned to 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 people to the deepest of the cave, where 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 the strange lines on the pedestal.
Minghe's eyes shone at sight of this. It must be the thing Taoist Xun Yuan talked about. The lines did not resemble any tactical formation or Spiritual Treasure, still, it looked weird. Moreover, it seemed to be carved on the Original Stone of Chaos. The was nothing extraordinary about it.
Taoist Jun Tian looked at the more bewildered four taoists and explained. "You must remember that last time we got dispersed by a herd of beasts, 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, it must be something good. However, we don't know when the lines shine again. We can't wait here forever, could we?"
"We could carry this thing home!" Taoist Yan Yang poured out his words. 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 in here several times.
The rest also agreed. If a Rare Beast of Chaos coveted something here, that indicated there must be something extraordinary. Moreover, if they claimed this place, they would own a shortcut to continuously obtain treasures. By doing so, not only they saved time to practice, they would not have to come to such a dangerous place anymore.
At this time, the silent Taoist Yan Xuan spoke. "Well, the problem is these lines were 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 ingredients were not completely melted or purified, even the best refining method would just be a waste.
Removing the whole cave? The other four showed a reluctant face. You 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 that.
The most terrible part was, once it fell apart, nearby beasts would be drawn. 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 spotted. A black robe Taoist emerged. All of them were not aware of his presence. If this man were to sneak an attack 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. He eavesdropped on their intentions, hence deciding to showe his face. Thus, the group's Killing Intent soared up, and they decided not to leave him alive.
That man was none other than Minghe 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 long."
Hearing Minghe, Taoist Jun Tian became furious. Who would have thought that at last there came a thief coveting their treasures? Thus, he just coldly answered. "Well, we discovered it first, and we killed the beast, you followed us here, sir. Moreover, you want to steal our treasures. There's no such thing. You're welcome to walk away now."
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, even stronger than them.
Secondly, it was difficult either to cut Original Stone of Chaos or remove the whole den, especially to do it before those beasts returned. And yet, this man said such words. He clearly was confident and capable.
