  “Understood.” Meng Chuan nodded and carefully looked at the map.

  “How far can you travel in 30 seconds?” asked Li Guan.

  “2,500 kilometers,” said Meng Chuan.

  “That fast?” Li Guan’s eyes lit up. He looked at the map and pointed to a spot. “I need you to be here often. From this central spot, there are the most connection points in a 2,500-kilometer radius. Furthermore, it’s also in the sea… It’s very likely that the demons will choose the sea as their infiltration point.”

  Meng Chuan nodded. “Alright.”

  “Liu Qiyue, I’m sorry. You two are always separated,” said Li Guan apologetically.

  “It’s more important to deal with the demons,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “If the fifth Firmament demon monarchs are unable to enter the World Gap, then humanity will have a long period of peace.”

  By doing this, the demons could only place their hopes on the World Entrances, hoping that they gradually expanded over time.

  Before their army surpassed the limits of humanity, the human world would be peaceful.

  In fact, before the World Entrances exceeded the limits of humanity, they might begin to shrink and disappear. The two worlds would begin to separate from each other… and the demons would never have any hope of invading the human world successfully again. The state of World Entrances depended on luck. To the three demon Imperial Lords, they naturally didn’t wish to place their bets on luck.

  “Meng Chuan, cultivate well and reach the Creation realm as soon as possible,” said Li Guan with a smile. “Once you do, you can refine an entrusted object and condense an embodiment, sending it everywhere it needs to

  be.”

  Creation Supremacies could condense Essence Soul embodiments.

  Although Essence Soul embodiments didn’t have much combat strength, they could still communicate information urgently. It was much more convenient than using a transmission token.

  As for entrusted objects, one could only personally refine them after becoming a Creation Supremacy. Therefore, many experts with fifth-level Essence Souls-like King True Martial, Meng Chuan, and Patriarch Yellow Oscillatecouldn’t refine anything to maintain their Essence Soul embodiments before they broke through to the Creation realm.

  “I’ve only been a Regis Godfiend for a few years. It’s still early,” said Meng Chuan.

  “That’s true. With your talent, you might attain a sixth-level Essence Soul first,” said Li Guan with a smile. “That way, you can directly condense an Essence Soul avatar.”

  Swoosh! Swoosh!

  King Calm Sea arrived at Archean Mountain.

  “Greetings, Master, Supremacies.” King Calm Sea bowed respectfully to Qin Wu, Li Guan, and Luo Tang in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion’s garden. King Sword Nine stood beside him.

  “The two of you, follow us.” Li Guan and company walked ahead. King Calm Sea and King Sword Nine followed behind in puzzlement.

  They came to an ordinary room and walked towards the painting that hung on the wall. The five figures became smaller as they walked into the painting. Finally, they were as tiny as specks of dust as they entered further into the painting. King Sword Nine looked at the incomparably huge painting in shock. King Calm Sea was still relatively calm because he had entered the painting before.

  From the painting, they walked into a hall before arriving at a square.

  Why are there three new buildings? King Calm Sea looked at the newly-appeared Star Cluster Building, Battle God Pagoda, and Heart Sea Palace in puzzlement.

  “That’s Star Cluster Building,” said Li Guan as he pointed at it. “Ancestral Master Archean Eon personally selected the precious manuals —which he obtained as he roamed the River of Spacetime—that were placed in there. They’re stored here because he thinks that these ultimate techniques are suitable for his juniors. There are a total of 98 manuals inside. All of them are extremely precious.”

  Manuals left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon? King Sword Nine was excited, but King Calm Sea was puzzled.

  Why haven’t I heard about this after all these years?

  “Among these 98 manuals, most are Tribulation and Imperial Lord-level ultimate techniques. There are very few Creation-level manuals,” continued Li Guan. “These few Creation-level manuals are all extraordinary. Some Creation Supremacies might even have a chance of slaying an Imperial Lord if they reach perfection in them.”

  Slaying an Imperial Lord despite being at a lower realm? King Sword Nine and King Calm Sea found it unbelievable.

  “Archean Mountain disciples, who have reached the Dharma Domain realm, can choose to read any three manuals below the Tribulation-level,” said Li Guan. “Once you reach the Grotto-Heaven realm, you can read any manuals you want.”

  “Yes.” King Sword Nine was overjoyed.

  King Calm Sea listened in a daze.

  I can read any manual inside? In the past few years, I’ve only obtained three Creation-level temporal arts from the demons with great difficulty. I wanted to obtain an Imperial Lord level ultimate technique, but could hardly get one. Now, I can read the Imperial Lord-level and Tribulation-level manuals freely?

  King Calm Sea couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you only telling us about this now?”

  “That’s because Archean Mountain didn’t have such things in the past,” said Li Guan with a smile. “You have to thank Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan obtained the Star Cluster Building with great difficulty and gave it to Archean Mountain. That’s why you have a chance of perusing these manuals.”

  Chapter 415 - Ultimate Technique’s First Volume

  Meng Chuan obtained the Star Cluster Building and offered it to Archean Mountain? King Calm Sea fell silent.

  The sect had already nurtured him with all its might. They had even bestowed him with Origins treasures.

  If he had the manuals earlier; if they had given it to him earlier…

  However, they didn’t have it previously…

  “Senior Brother Meng is truly impressive. He doesn’t monopolize such a valuable Star Cluster Building. He’s willing to offer it to the sect so that we can study them and cultivate,” said King Sword Nine in amazement. “Such magnanimousness is truly admirable.” “It’s indeed impressive,” said King Calm Sea. His heart was still in turmoil.

  If he had known earlier…

  Why did he have to play the hypocrite with the demons?

  Although the information he had revealed to the demons had only been released after careful consideration and didn’t affect the human race’s overall situation at all, it still caused the human race to suffer losses. Some Godfiends even died in battle.

  King Calm Sea had tried to convince himself: The loss of a small number of ordinary Godfiends is trivial in this war’s overall outcome. As long as I become stronger, I’ll contribute ten-fold, even a hundred-fold more than them. As he suffered inner turmoil, he swore an oath: My fellow disciples, I, Xue Ting, will repay you what I owe in my next life. In order to win this war, I have to do this.

  But now, he realized that his actions had become a joke.

  Forget it. At the very least, the demons’ ultimate techniques allowed me to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm earlier. Furthermore, I figured out my killer move, Spring Autumn Tribulation. As for the future, there’s no need to give the demons any more benefits. Instead, I can give them false information.

  “Go in and read through the introductions of every ultimate technique carefully. Choose what you need,” instructed Li Guan. “Once you finish learning the legacies, come out immediately.”

  King Calm Sea and King Sword Nine immediately responded and entered. “Yes.”

  Ancestral Master Archean Eon had personally selected the ultimate techniques in Star Cluster Building techniques. Every single one of them made King Calm Sea and King Sword Nine amazed.

  Impressive. Too impressive. It’s much more brilliant than the demons’ ultimate techniques. King Calm Sea was extremely excited.

  He didn’t k
now that although a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence might appear to be only one step higher than a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, the difference was actually huge.

  A Seventh Tribulation Eminence represented a legend! They represented invincibility!

  This was because it was very difficult to find someone stronger than a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. For example, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had a long lifespan. He went to many places and had only encountered an Eighth Tribulation Eminence once. It was very unlikely for other lifeforms to encounter an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to 'see” one. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a Seventh Tribulation Eminence was virtually invincible in the vast River of Spacetime. Invincible existences were able to obtain many more precious techniques.

  This was also why the three demon Imperial Lords coveted Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures.

  Two hours later.

  After King Sword Nine and King Calm Sea learned the ultimate techniques, they were sent out by the Supremacies.

  “I hope King Calm Sea can cultivate faster with Star Cluster Building’s ultimate techniques,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Although King Calm Sea’s perceptivity is inferior to Meng Chuan and Meng An, he’s very close to becoming a Creation Creation.” Luo Tang nodded as well. “According to our estimates, he’s very close to attaining a fifth-level Essence Soul. He can break through at any time. Once he breaks through, he will become a Creation realm expert. It’s been a long time since our Archean Mountain has had a new Creation realm expert.” “We can’t rush it,” said Li Guan. “Let’s quickly get all Regis Godfiends to come to Star Cluster Building and learn from the manuals. Only five Regis Godfiends have learned from the manuals. It’s too slow.”

  “We have to do it in batches,” said Luo Tang. “After all, when Regis Godfiends leave their assigned cities, we need to arrange for Guardian Divine Beasts to replace them temporarily. We have limited numbers of Guardian Divine Beasts… We can only send them in batches one by one.”

  “In half a month, all Regis Godfiends at Archean Mountain will have finished studying the manuals,” said Qin Wu.

  “Yes.” Li Guan nodded. Suddenly, he sensed something and turned to look.

  “They are back.” Qin Wu revealed a look of delight. “King True Martial, Peng Mu, and Lunatic Yun have returned from the World Gap.”

  Swoosh.

  Soon, three figures flew over from afar and arrived at Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. They greeted the three Supremacies.

  “Master, Supremacies.” King True Martial bowed slightly. Peng Mu and Lunatic Yun also bowed slightly. These two were Regis Godfiends that were famous 1,000 years ago. Their strength was close to King True Martial’s.

  “When we were summoned, a treasure appeared, so it took us until now for us to return,” said King True Martial.

  Li Guan smiled and nodded. “Haha, follow us.”

  The three Supremacies brought King True Martial, Peng Mu, and Lunatic Yun to Star Cluster Building, allowing them to peruse the ultimate technique manuals.

  Every batch of Regis Godfiends that perused the ultimate technique manuals was shocked by Star Cluster Building. They were puzzled as to why they had never heard of it before. Li Guan and company didn’t hide the fact that Meng Chuan had obtained the Star Cluster Building and offered it to Archean Mountain. This made Archean Mountain Regis Godfiends impressed by Meng Chuan’s selflessness. They were grateful for Meng Chuan for giving them the opportunity to learn these ultimate techniques.

  King Calm Sea returned to the city in excitement.

  I’ve learned three Tribulation-level techniques, five Imperial Lord-level techniques, and one Creation-level technique. They are all suitable for me. King Calm Sea couldn’t hide his excitement. Compared to these ultimate techniques, the demons’ technique is cruder and worse. In history, such powerful techniques were actually lost! Thankfully, Meng Chuan found them again. Meng Chuan has contributed to this era, but he has given several benefits to successive generations. King Calm Sea admitted Meng Chuan’s contributions.

  These ultimate techniques would have profound effects on humanity’s overall strength over time.

  King Calm Sea closed his eyes and began to meditate on the techniques carefully.

  Night fell as time passed.

  King Calm Sea frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He was immersed in his meditation of an ultimate technique, so he naturally didn’t like to be disturbed.

  Whoosh.

  The black fog seeped through the door and window, condensing into a black-robed illusory figure.

  “What’s the matter?” King Calm Sea looked at it coldly.

  “King Calm Sea, you don’t seem to welcome me,” said the black-robed illusory figure with a smile.

  “Humph, you haven’t been willing to give me an Imperial Lord-level technique of the Time lineage to this day. What’s the point of helping the demons when you’re so insincere?” King Calm Sea sneered.

  “What’s the use of helping us?” The black-robed illusory figure laughed. “From the looks of it, all of you believe that there’s no hope for the demons in this war. Are you trying to cut ties with us?”

  King Calm Sea frowned. “Speak. What’s the matter?”

  “In order to express our sincerity, we demons are willing to give you half of an Imperial Lord-level technique of the Time lineage,” said the black-robed illusory figure.

  “Half?” King Calm Sea looked at him.

  “Half. It is an Imperial Lord-level technique of the Time lineage,” said the black-robed illusory figure. “As long as you contribute enough in the future, we can naturally give the other half to you.”

  He waved his hand. A dark-red book appeared in front of him. “Learn it first. I’ll take it away after you finish,” said the black-robed illusory figure.

  “Oh?” King Calm Sea took the book and flipped through it. At the same time, his consciousness seeped into the legacy.

  “How is it?” The black-robed illusory figure looked at King Calm Sea.

  “Interesting.” King Calm Sea’s eyes lit up. “The second half…”

  “I’ve already said it. Once you contribute enough, I’ll give you the second half.” The black-robed illusory figure waved his hand and put the dark-red book away. He smiled and said, “Besides, it’s still early in this war. The World Entrances are still expanding. We demons still have a chance of winning.”

  With that said, the black-robed illusory figure vanished.

  Humph.

  King Calm Sea’s expression turned cold.

  What an ordinary Imperial Lord-level technique. Ignoring the fact that it’s only just half of it, even if it’s complete, it’s still far inferior to the ultimate techniques within Star Cluster Building. King Calm Sea snorted coldly. The Imperial Lord-level techniques in Star Cluster Building had been screened strictly before being placed there. When one cultivated them to perfection, most would be able to fight across levels! As for the Imperial Lord-level techniques given by the demons, they were just ordinary Imperial Lord-level techniques.

  If you had come a few days earlier, I’m afraid I would have been excited and would focus on cultivating it. Now? Comprehending it will just be wasting my time.

  King Calm Sea closed his eyes.

  Within a small grotto-heaven.

  These Godfiends aren’t as attentive to us demons anymore. The black-robed North Sense looked at the dark-red book in his hand. Although King Calm Sea didn’t contribute, we have to give him the first half of the manual first.

  If we don’t provide him the other half of the ultimate technique, the flaws will gradually erupt. We haven’t shown our hand with King Calm Sea. We’ll use him once he reaches the Creation realm!

  Chapter 416 - Taking the Initiative to Attack

  On an island in the south.

  Splash! Splash! Splash! The seawater gently impacted the beach.

  Meng Chuan walked barefoot on the whi
te beach. From afar, a seabird flapped its wings and flew high.

  This was where Meng Chuan lived in seclusion. There were many connection points within 2,500 kilometers of him. Furthermore, this place was far from civilization. In this area, it was extremely likely that the demon monarchs would try to enter the human world from the World Gap.

  This southern island doesn’t snow all year. The Snow Wind Pass, which Qiyue guards, often snows. Meng Chuan smiled. He returned to Snow Wind Pass every month to accompany his wife. Although they were tens of thousands of kilometers apart, it took him just moments before he arrived there.

  Huh? Meng Chuan sensed the transmission token signalling him to convene. Archean Mountain? Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled. Following that, he transformed into a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky and headed straight for Archean Mountain.

  After five minutes of normal flight, Meng Chuan arrived at Archean Mountain and landed in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. As one of Archean Mountain’s Sect Proprietors, he could enter many places directly.

  “Meng Chuan is here.” Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang were already waiting. Li Guan pointed at a stool beside him. “Sit.”

  “Master, Supremacies.” Meng Chuan sat down and smiled. “What’s the matter?”

  “We plan on bestowing King True Martial a Tribulation treasure,” said Li Guan. “This matter is of great importance, so we naturally need your approval.”

  A Tribulation treasure? Meng Chuan’s heart stirred as he listened carefully.
