Minghe had been meditating for several thousand years since his breakthrough. He didn't even show up when the Academy made him an Elder. But no one blamed him since strengthening one's foundation took time, especially after a breakthrough in Fate Realm. That would certainly take more time.
Long afterward, Minghe and Three Separations finally strengthened their realms completely. As they stopped meditating, Minghe went straight to the library, instead of the Elder House. Actually, he didn't enter the Elder House at all, not even once. The library obviously attracted him more compared to the Elder House.
On the eighth floor, Minghe first searched for information on Battlefield of God and Demon. After all, more data were stored on the higher floor bookshelves. He wanted to know more to plan his future.
He needn't worry about his contributions since as an Elder he had access to all Jade Slips. He could read through any Slip as one of his prerogatives. It saved a lot of his contributions since he needed to read a lot of Slips.
After reading about the Battlefield and the Academy, Minghe indeed learned something on the Mystery Realm in Medium Level of Battlefield of God and Demon. The information was detailed. But most of the Mystery Realms were either developed or taken by some authorities. Minghe could only envy them.
The rest were dangerous Mystery Realms left by Supreme Realm masters. Even Fate Realm experts might perish there. But, these Realms set up by Supreme experts were rich in strong Spiritual Inheritance. People scrambled for the Inheritance in there despite the danger.
But the inheritance in these mystery realms were just rumors. What if the Supreme experts had set up some traps? It was hard for even Fate Realm experts to guard against it. It might even be for Supreme experts to possess someone, after all, legends said that this had happened before.
Apart from the Realms, secrets left by Fate Realm experts also attracted many people. These secrets were left after their death or departure to a higher ground. Actually, Minghe would rather explore in Fate Mystery Territories than in Boundless Mystery Realm. But these territories opened at random, so he could only wait.
Besides, there were records in Yun Ling Academy itself, whose long history actually shocked him. The Acadamy was built in the Fifth Period, and the Eastern Region was just a branch. There were other branches in Central Region and High Level of Battlefield of God and Demon. The books failed to mention the situation in the core region. But judging from its long history, it would be possible for it to have developed in that region.
There were less than ten Fate Realm experts in Eastern Region. Every now and then, Central Region's people recruited talents here. Experts could choose to stay or move to Yun Ling Academy in Central Region. The remaining experts here had chosen to stay for multiple times.
You might get greater chances and cultivation environment in Central Region. But it was more competitive there. You had the power and resources by staying in the Eastern Region, while it would take you some effort to gain the greater resources in the Central Region.
Reading this, Minghe had another plan. He used to plan to leave the Academy and join the Central Region soon. Now he changed his mind. Since the Academy was rich in resources and he was free to do anything since there's someone else to oversee everything, he might as well rely on it to go further and faster.
It was in the Ninth Period, and many authorities have fully developed and taken the best territories in the Battlefield. Indeed, Minghe could have established his own forces, but it was difficult. After all, a new force would draw attention and even cause other to strike out at it.
Forces were nothing but a burden to Minghe. He aimed for Supreme Way, not a white elephant authority. He did not want that, and pursuing the Supreme Way was not easy. If he was just an Individual Cultivator without joining any forces, how could he develop so quickly?
Minghe and Three Separations all had broken through to Fate Realm, and refined several Magic Weapons into Spiritual Treasures of Chaos. Other than that, the World of Heaven and Earth has turned in to a great trichiliocosm. Not any Individual Cultivator could collect all the required resources. Fortunately, Minghe had help from Yun Ling Academy; otherwise, it would cost have cost him.
Actually, cultivations of Minghe, Red Lotus Taoist, and Musen did not require a lot of resources, what was demanding was the upgrade of their Magic Weapons and the World of Heaven and Earth. If not for Yun Ling Academy, Minghe probably needed to kill a lot in Battlefield of God and Demon to gain the resources. Minghe could only imagine the danger if he had, after all, he wasn't one of the masters in the Battlefield yet.
The Academy had resources, and Minghe would like to join in. Minghe pursued the Supreme Way, and believed in seeking common ground while reserving differences, rather extremism. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sneaked into the Academy for its resources, instead he would have plotted to crush it!
Minghe wondered when the Central Region envoy would visit again since the Jade Slip said it was once in every 100,000 years. The experts at the Academy had chosen to stay for several times for some reason. But Minghe decided to go the next time the envoy visited.
After making up his mind, Minghe continue reading other Jade Slips. The Slips were much fewer than that were stored on the seventh floor. But, cultivation exercises, Magic Skills, and tactical formation in the Slips were all in Fate Realm, thus it was much more valuable than the information stored in all other Slips.
Since reading through these Slips cost him no contributions, he soon finished reading all the Slips. Though he did not need all of the information, he still read carefully, because his Good Separation Heaven and Earth Taoist still had a world inside his body!
