Archean Mountain, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. Meng Chuan sat in the pavilion and looked at the black-and-white bracelet in his hand.
“Bright Light Sect.” Meng Chuan looked at the black-and-white bracelet and whispered, “There hasn’t been a single Imperial Lord in the Bright Light Sect’s history. However, three Heaven Earth realm Supremacies were born. Among the sect treasures left behind by Bright Light Sect, there’s actually a Sixth Tribulation treasure.”
Meng Chuan was very surprised.
In terms of historical heritage, Bright Light Sect was only inferior to Black White Grotto-Heaven and Myriad Sword Sect. However, they had once thrived for 300,000 years.
It had a history longer than Two World Island!
There were three Tribulation treasures.
Ever since he attained an eighth-level Essence Soul, Meng Chuan had gained an Essence Soul World, which could envelop the entire Archean Eon Realm. He had taken away all the treasures scattered across Archean Eon Realm. Even if he hadn’t obtained Eon Sea Sect’s treasures, he could still take them back now that he had an eighth-level Essence Soul.
Back then, Archean Eon Sect had completely unified the human race and was the only Godfiend sect. They didn’t have any external enemies.
Without external enemies, it was naturally easy for internal strife and corruption to occur. Meng Chuan agreed with Ancestral Master Archean’s decision.
The Archean Eon Sect of the past was already rotten.
Meng Chuan now had the strength to unify the world, but he didn’t think it was necessary.
Archean Mountain had plenty of cornerstone treasures that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had left behind. They had the deepest and most unshakeable foundation. It was good for an unshakeable sect to have some external threats.
“Dad.” Meng An walked over from afar.
“An’er.” Meng Chuan casually wore the black-and-white bracelet on his wrist and smiled at his son.
Meng An’s expression was solemn as he walked to Meng Chuan and sat down.
“If there’s anything, just say it. Don’t hesitate,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“Actually, I’ve become Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s personal disciple,” said Meng An. “All the so-called disciples who obtained Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacy are just in-name disciples. Without heaven-defying talent, they won’t be able to become personal disciples. An exception was made for me before I became Ancestral Master’s personal disciple because of the war.”
“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked at his son.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon had broad horizons. He definitely had ridiculously high requirements for him to accept a personal disciple.
“Actually, I should have left Archean Eon Realm long ago,” said Meng An. “It’s only because of the war that I can stay here. Now that we have won the war… According to the Ancestral Master’s rules, I have to leave Archean Eon Realm within three years. I can’t afford to waste too much time when it comes to cultivation.”
“An’er, are you leaving Archean Eon Realm?”. Meng Chuan was somewhat worried. He knew how dangerous the outer realm was. An’er was only at the Supremacy realm. “Where are you going in the outer realm?”.
Meng An said, “I will be directly teleported to a distant river zone-inside a mystic realm.”
“A distant river zone? Teleport?” Meng Chuan immediately felt powerless.
He knew that the outer realm had teleportation techniques.
For example, if he paid a huge price when buying treasures at Eternal Tower, he could have his purchased treasures quickly delivered across many river zones. It was done through a teleportation spell.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacy clearly had a teleportation treasure. However, Meng Chuan and Qin Wu couldn’t come into contact with it previously. “A mystic realm in a distant river zone?” asked Meng Chuan. “Which river zone?”
“I don’t know.” Meng An shook his head. “I only know that it’s very far.” Meng Chuan looked at his son.
His son, Meng An, was only at the Supremacy realm. He only had one true body. It was too dangerous for him to venture outside.
“Must you go? Is there no other way?” asked Meng Chuan. “I’ve withstood all the hardships during my grooming as a personal disciple,” said Meng An. “If I fail, I will be sent back. If I succeed… I don’t know when I will return.”
Meng Chuan also understood this.
From a cultivation standpoint, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. He stood at the vast River of Spacetime’s top. He had come into contact with many secrets and obtained many opportunities. The Essence Soul Star legacy he had casually placed in Heart Sea Palace was an Eight Tribulation Eminence’s legacy. Furthermore, it was clearly not Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s most important legacy.
“Go if you want to.” Meng Chuan nodded. “However, wait a few days for me.”
Meng An looked at his father. “How many days?” “Come find me in three days.” Meng Chuan stood up and left. It’s time to see what’s available amongst Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures.
He hoped that he could help An’er with his status.
Chapter 544 - Meng Chuan’s Strength
Archean Mountain, Heaven and Earth Great Hall.
Meng Chuan stood in the ancient hall. This Heaven and Earth Great Hall was ranked second among the 12 cornerstone treasures.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon has indeed put in a lot of effort for the entire human race.
As Archean Mountain’s strongest expert and the leader of Heaven and Earth Great Hall, Meng Chuan could sense more secrets from Heaven and Earth Great Hall after attaining an eighth-level Essence Soul.
Back then, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was close to the end of his life. He had spent a lot of effort into building the Heaven and Earth Great Hall for his homeworld.
This Heaven and Earth Great Hall contains this inhabited world’s Origins. This is also a form of protection. It makes it extremely difficult for one to harm this inhabited world’s Origins from the outside. Meng Chuan understood this point. Just by looking at the arrangements he set up in Heaven and Earth Great Hall, I can tell that Ancestral Master Archean Eon has done too much for humanity to thrive.
An inhabited world wasn’t an eternal existence. It would also die. Natural death, death caused by external forces… However, with the Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s protection, Archean Eon Realm was extremely unlikely to die.
Whoosh.
At the end of the hall, a passageway suddenly opened up.
Meng Chuan walked straight in.
After a few turns, he arrived at a hall.
Inside the hall laid a cyan arm that was about 190 feet long and 50 feet thick. The severed arm was still stained with drops of purple blood at the stump. The arm didn’t have a palm, but a sharp claw. The curved claws were thin and sharp.
The moment Meng Chuan stepped into the hall, he felt pressure on him. The temperature in the hall was extremely low, and frost condensed on the surrounding walls. Arm. Meng Chuan looked at the arm.
This hall was one of Archean Mountain’s important areas. Only those who had reached the Imperial Lord realm could enter! Meng Chuan was currently in the Tribulation realm, so he naturally could enter.
Fourth of the 12 cornerstone treasures. Meng Chuan looked at the huge arm. He could see the patterns on the cyan arm changing as he looked at it, causing spacetime to change. Illusory microcosms appeared on the arm’s surface, constantly producing life and death. Every time they were born, these countless microcosms showed various scenes. Following that, they would die. Meng Chuan couldn’t help but hold his breath when he saw this.
This is an Eight Tribulation Eminence’s arm. Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s array formation is suppressing it. Otherwise, even ordinary Tribulation Eminences would be affected by it. They might even be controlled by it.
The Eighth Tribulation realm was a legend.
Many Sevent
h Tribulation Eminences might not even see a single Eighth Tribulation Eminence their entire lives.
For circumstances like dying when transcending a tribulation or from age, Eighth Tribulation Eminences would make plans for their corpses. They wouldn’t allow their corpses to be incomplete and scattered. Therefore, the fact that Ancestral Master Archean Eon an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s arm meant that the Eminence had not died a natural death.
Even a piece of flesh of a Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminence was a priceless treasure, much less a relatively intact arm. Thus, it was ranked among the top of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s 12 cornerstone treasures.
The flesh of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence exerts very strong pressure on people, burdening them greatly. Ordinary inhabited worlds wouldn’t be able to withstand it. They might even be sent out of the world. Meng Chuan understood this point. Ancestral Master Archean Eon should have brought it back with a special treasure.
Ignoring an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s flesh and blood, even storing a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s flesh and blood was a huge problem.
It was even more difficult to take them back into an inhabited world. This was also one of the reasons why Senior Pang Ming had kept the Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s piece of flesh beside his body in the outer realm.
Meng Chuan continued advancing. He walked through Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s hidden halls. Only Tribulation Eminences could enter these areas. This is it. Meng Chuan arrived at an ancient hall.
White fog emerged from the hall’s walls. The white fog condensed into a white-robed elder, who nodded slightly at Meng Chuan. “Master’s homeworld has finally produced another Tribulation Eminence after all these years. Are you here to retrieve the treasures?”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”
“Let’s determine your strength first.” The white-robed elder pointed at a cyan pillar. “In three seconds, attack this pillar with all your might. I’ll determine your strength based on the force exerted. The greater your strength is, the more treasures you can obtain. Even the most important treasures left behind by the old master can be given to you.”
The most important treasures that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had accumulated in his life were within his legacy. However, legacies didn’t necessarily have to be given to his disciples.
If an extremely powerful Tribulation Eminence appeared, Ancestral Master Archean Eon would be willing to give it to them as well.
“Alright.” Meng Chuan looked at the cyan pillar.
“You only have three seconds. It starts from the moment you gather strength,” said the white-robed elder. “Don’t gather your strength for too long.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Understood.” Whoosh. The painting world appeared behind Meng Chuan and descended into the hall.
The painting world was vast and majestic. The world was covered in fog as countless figures engaged in battle. There were also people drinking and chatting. Youths were practicing their swordplay together. Countless corpses could be seen on the battlefield… All sorts of scenes surfaced, causing the world to be extremely solemn and heavy. The Essence Soul World’s powers suppressed the cyan pillar, causing the runes on it to light up.
Meng Chuan stood in the middle of the world as he calmly looked at the pillar. “Oh?” The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan in surprise. “This Eastcalm junior actually has the strongest Essence Soul World in human history.”
Although Meng Chuan had just attained an eighth-level Essence Soul, his Essence Soul World was formed by the combination of his strong mental state and technique realm! His Essence Soul World was the strongest in human history! It far surpasses the other three Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences from Archean Eon Realm.
Crack!
Lightning flashed around Meng Chuan as time accelerated. “Attack!”
With a thought, Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul fused with Time Saber—which was at his waist-as he unsheathed it! He executed Saber of Nirvana! Currently, Saber of Nirvana’s might was still greater than that of Infinite Saber—which remained at the Heaven Earth Realm’s early stage.
Under the influence of accelerated time, Saber of Nirvana’s might was even more terrifying.
Rip!
Dark saber beams landed on the cyan pillar. The runes on the cyan pillar cracked, but new runes soon formed.
He delivered nine consecutive strikes.
Following that, the saber beams and the Essence Soul World vanished. Everything returned to normal.
Time Saber remained in Meng Chuan’s sheath.
Meng Chuan looked at the white-robed elder.”How is it?”
The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan, nodded slightly, and smiled. “The strength of an Essence Soul Fourth Tribulation Eminence.”
Meng Chuan was secretly delighted when he heard that.
In regards to technique realm, Meng Chuan was indeed at the Fourth Tribulation realm. However, his Essence Soul ultimately hadn’t transcended a tribulation. Since he was determined to have the strength of an Essence Soul Fourth Tribulation Eminence, his strength would definitely increase by quite a bit once he transcended four Tribulations. Perhaps he would be as strong as a peak Fourth Tribulation Eminence? His strength might even be near the threshold of the Fifth Tribulation realm!
It is clear that my Essence Soul has improved greatly after painting ‘Backbone’ and creating an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. My spiritual cultivation level is high enough.
The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan and smiled. “You have the strength of an Essence Soul Fourth Tribulation Eminence. You can choose any treasure in the old master’s treasure vault. You can choose treasures that are worth less than 50,000 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals.” “Treasures worth 50,000 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals?” Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised.
Senior Pang Ming had many treasures. However, Senior Pang Ming had left most of his treasures in his homeworld. The treasures he had on him were the items he often used when roaming the outer realm. It was probably just a small portion of his total wealth. Even then, the treasures left behind by Senior Pang Ming to Meng Chuan had a total value of around 10,000 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. This was enough to make Fourth Tribulation Eminences go crazy with envy.
I can take out treasures worth five times more than Senior Pang Ming’s treasures. Meng Chuan sighed.
Before the war, humanity had already been at a disadvantage. It wasn’t that Ancestral Master Archean Eon wasn’t powerful. No, in the past one million years, humanity’s descendants were generally too weak. Thus, they could only obtain treasures that were suitable for the weak.
Humanity had yet to fully mature before they encountered a calamity-the demon invasion.
If humanity was forced into using World Annihilation, Archean Eon Realm’s prosperous days would probably be delayed further.
“Do you have any Primordial Stones in the treasure vault?” asked Meng Chuan. This true body in his homeworld needed to devour a Primordial Stone before it could reach the Primordial realm.
Furthermore, after absorbing a Primordial Stone and increasing his strength, he could continue to ‘confirm’ his strength.
When he attained greater strength, he would be allowed to take even more from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault.
“Primordial Stones?” The white-robed elder nodded. “The old master once collected a few Primordial Stones. There are a total of 203 inside the treasure vault. Altogether, they are worth about 93,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. For the sake of future human juniors, you can only take 10% of them.”
Chapter 545 - Lifespan
That many Primordial Stones? Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Following that, Meng Chuan recalled his main goal. He came to the treasure vault to prepare gifts for his son, who was about to enter the outer realm.
As a father, this was all he could do.
“Are there Void Transference Talismans in the treasure
vault?” asked Meng Chuan.
“There are 55 of them. You can take three at most,” said the white-robed elder.
Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.
To Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and company, it was normal for Archean Mountain to not have any Void Transference Talismans remaining.
Before Ancestral Master Archean Eon died, he had considered the entire race’s long-term development. Although he had left behind many treasures and cultivation manuals… they still needed people to cultivate them. He needed humanity’s future generations to work hard. Only with enough time and plenty of geniuses could a powerful Tribulation Eminence rise to prominence. According to the probability of a Tribulation Eminence rising, Ancestral Master Archean Eon believed that the resources he left behind could provide humanity with resources for at least 100 million years. Only then could he ensure Archean Eon Realm’s prosperity and growth.
Over 100 million years, every generation of Supremacies, Imperial Lords, and Tribulation Eminences could only receive limited resources.
Even the sect’s public resources were limited.
He couldn’t allow the Godfiends of one era to ‘waste’ it all away. He had to consider the countless Godfiends that would appear over the next 100 million-plus years.
The sect’s public resources were resources that Supremacies and Imperial Lords could use. The resources left behind by the seniors were mostly expended. Meng Chuan understood this point. Even I can only take three Void Transference Talismans.
If Meng Chuan didn’t need them, he could give them to the sect, and it would become the sect’s public resource. However, Meng Chuan needed them!
He still wanted to give one to his son, Meng An. Meng An was relatively weak, and he only had one true body. It was too dangerous for him to venture into the outer realm. If anything happened, he would be dead. As a father, Meng Chuan was very worried about his son.
