Physical Body Tribulations’ tests were much clearer in comparison. Meng Chuan had already transcended five Heavenly Tribulations with his body. He transcended them easily every time. This was because his body was perfect among Physical Body Fifth Tribulation Eminences. There were no surprises.
This was the case for Physical Body Tribulation Eminences. As long as one’s body reached the standard in all aspects or if one’s cultivation was stronger than the standard, one would have a high chance of transcending the tribulation.
Before transcending an Essence Soul Tribulation, one wouldn’t have the confidence.
Boom!
After practicing in the outer realm for an hour and familiarizing himself with his current means, Meng Chuan returned to Thousand Mountain Star.
The cultivators on Thousand Mountain Star didn’t know that a new Sixth Tribulation Eminence had been born in Three Bay River System.
Unlike Fu Sui—who was at the half-step Sixth Tribulation realm and had the least strength, Meng Chuan could be considered a true Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He only had one final trial left-Tribulation Transcendence.
Archean Eon Realm was as peaceful as ever.
With Meng Chuan present in this era—the second strongest existence in Archean Eon Realm’s history-Archean Eon Realm didn’t need to worry about any external threats. It was also supplied with large amounts of resources and could expand greatly.
Tribulation Transcendence. Meng Chuan sat in Archean Mountain’s Grotto-Heaven Pavilion, drinking as he pondered.
There’s not much I can do when facing the Heavenly Tribulation. Meng Chuan pondered. The first thing is that I have to strengthen my World Treasure. The second thing is to continue improving my mental cultivation.
If he could grasp stronger laws and make his Essence Soul World stronger, it would naturally help him transcend the tribulation easier.
However, no matter how monstrous Meng Chuan was, it was difficult for him to undergo a qualitative transformation within 100 years.
Therefore, he could only focus on two other aspects. A World Treasure can stabilize one’s Essence Soul World. It also increases one’s chances of resisting the Heavenly Tribulation. It is the best solution that shows effects the fastest. Meng Chuan put down his cup and stood up to head to Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s grotto-heaven.
Heaven and Earth Great Hall. Meng Chuan entered the hall and walked past many ancient halls. Soon, he arrived at a familiar hall.
White fog flew out from the hall’s walls and condensed into a white-robed elder. He smiled at Meng Chuan. “Meng Chuan, are you here to obtain treasures or to confirm your strength?”
“Confirm my strength,” said Meng Chuan. “You are very familiar with the rules. Attack that pillar with all your might.” The white-robed elder smiled as he pointed at the cyan pillar.
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He extended his right hand, and a Lightning Seal appeared in his palm. It was the Thousand Lightning Dharma Seal. Although the Thousand Lightning Dharma Seal wasn’t too precious, it was very suitable for an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence like Meng Chuan-who had grasped a law of lightning.
Go.
Boom!
The Thousand Lightning Dharma Seal suddenly transformed into a terrifying bolt of lightning. The bolt of lightning was only ten feet long, but it wouldn’t suffer any damage even if it pierced through a Grand Yang Star. At that moment, it struck the cyan pillar with all its might. Layers of runes appeared on the cyan pillar. Instantly, countless runes shattered until ten layers were destroyed in a row. Soon, new runes condensed and regenerated.
“You shattered ten layers?” The white-robed elder was stunned. “Sixth Tribulation realm?”
He had been watching Meng Chuan’s growth all this while. Meng Chuan hadn’t cultivated for long, yet he was already at the Sixth Tribulation realm?
“I haven’t transcended the tribulation yet,” said Meng Chuan.
Chapter 605 - World Treasure
The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan and sighed. “After all these years, Master’s homeworld is finally about to produce a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Archean Eon Realm can finally grow again.”
“I can only help Archean Eon Realm after I transcend the tribulation,” said Meng Chuan.
A small tree needed soil, water, sunlight, and time to grow. The growth of an inhabited world was even more complicated. It required much more time. It also required a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to preside over it.
“Meng Chuan, I believe you will definitely succeed in transcending the tribulation,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “However, I have some bad news for you.”
“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked at the white-robed elder.
“If you fail to transcend the tribulation, you can only obtain treasures that don’t exceed 1,000,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals from Archean Eon’s treasure vault,” said the white-robed elder. “Taking into account the 300,000 cubes from before, the total cannot exceed 1.3 million cubes. This is the quota set by Master.”
Though this was the case, Meng Chuan was very satisfied. With a total of 1.3 million cubes worth of treasures, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had given enough to his descendants! Meng Chuan was very grateful.
According to what he knew, very few Sixth Tribulation Eminences could accumulate more than a million cubes by themselves.
“Master also did this because he took Archean Eon Realm’s future into account,” said the white-robed elder. “After you transcend the tribulation, according to your age, you will obtain many more treasures than what you have now.”
“Many more?” Meng Chuan was surprised.
“When Master became a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he left all his years of savings in his homeworld. If you have great potential, I can give you a maximum of half the treasures,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “If you are very old after transcending the tribulation and have very low potential, the treasures you obtain will decrease accordingly.”Our 1 file is being uploaded to: up “Half?” Meng Chuan was alarmed.
According to what he knew, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had lived for more than 100,000 years at the Seventh Tribulation realm. Furthermore, he died of old age. Over the years, he had accumulated a terrifying amount of resources.
If a junior was a Sixth Tribulation Eminence with extremely high potential, they could obtain a maximum of half his treasures? Just how much was a half? Meng Chuan was alarmed by the mere thought of it.
One had to know that Eighth Tribulation treasures and rare treasures like Small Universe were treasures that Sixth Tribulation Eminences couldn’t obtain, despite how much they yearned for one. However, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had a pile of such treasures. Elsewhere, these treasures couldn’t be bought even if one had the necessary Outer Realm Essence Crystals. This was because the more precious the treasures were, the less there were. For example, there were very few copies of the Void Catalog. As for the treasures even more precious than the Void Catalog, they were probably unique in the outer realm or only numbered a handful.
As they were too rare, they typically had to be obtained through barters!
Only Seventh Tribulation Eminences—who stood at the pinnacle of the River of Spacetime —could control such resources.
Meng Chuan knew about these resources.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon had also forbidden him from delving deeper into some treasures. They were clearly more special.
It’s no wonder those high-level worlds are still so powerful even though their Eighth Tribulation Eminences are no longer around. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures were shocking enough. What level were the treasures left behind by an Eighth Tribulation Eminence?
He only knew that most Seventh Tribulation Eminences’ homeworlds declined, but most high-level worlds remained constantly prosperous.
Even if an Eighth Tribulation Eminence was a special lifeform, they would be able to produce a powerful spec
ies like the dragons and phoenixes if they focused on perfecting their race’s bloodline. Their bloodline could then pass down for generations.
If I can reach the Eighth Tribulation realm in my life, my homeworld-Archean Eon Realm
— will be dazzling for countless years. Meng Chuan had that thought at that very moment. However, he knew that it was too far away from him.
A total of 1.3 million cubes was a gift from Ancestral Master Archean Eon to a Sixth Tribulation junior who was about to transcend the tribulation. Meng Chuan completely understood Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s rationale. After all, failure meant that everything would be for naught. Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s investment could be described as significant.
I’ve spent a lot. Thankfully, I’ve earned quite a bit as well. Over the years, Meng Chuan had spent a lot on his cultivation, treasures, and array formations. The Void Catalog’s third volume was his greatest investment.
Thankfully, he had earned a lot. Considering the basic-level Eternal Token, the wiping out of Three Bay River System’s plundering factions, and the spoils gained from Fiend Mountain, he still had over 50,000 cubes remaining
That makes it 1,350,000 cubes. Meng Chuan sat in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion’s backyard and pondered. I mainly need to do three things. First, I need to prepare for Tribulation Transcendence. Second, I need to prepare some longevity extension treasures. Third, I need to make preparations for my homeworld. Before transcending the tribulation, he had to awaken his parents, father-in-law, and Qiyue to extend their lifespans.
If he failed to transcend the tribulation, no one could extend their lifespans.
Secondly, what would happen to his homeworld if he failed to transcend the tribulation? He naturally had to consider his homeworld. Emperor Roc’s outer realm true body was still imprisoned by him, so he had to resolve this problem before transcending the tribulation.
A total of 1.35 million cubes. Meng Chuan pondered. Longevity extension treasures will use up a huge portion of it.
If they were ordinary longevity extension treasures, even a Fifth Tribulation Eminence could afford them. They only cost a few thousand cubes! However, the stronger the cultivator and the more special their bloodline was, the greater the price of extending their lifespans. For example, Great Solar Godfiends and Marquis Godfiends were all below the Supremacy realm. A few thousand cubes worth of longevity extension treasures could extend their lifespans by centuries. To extend their lifespans to the threshold of 2,000 years, 10,000 cubes were enough. Spending 30,000 cubes for the three elders was definitely sufficient. It was relatively easy for Meng Chuan.
However, it was different for his wife. His wife had a phoenix bloodline, and she had already awakened Phoenix Divine Fire. It was harder to extend her lifespan than ordinary Supremacies. But his wife was still relatively weak. The difficulty of extending her lifespan should be lower than that of an Imperial Lord.
I’ll probably need 50,000 cubes to extend Qiyue’s lifespan by 2,000 years. As for extending her lifespan further, the price will be even higher.
There were three major thresholds for lifespans.
The first threshold was 2,000 years. Mortals could obtain rare treasures in an inhabited world to live for centuries. It was even easier to find treasures in the outer realm that could extend one’s lifespan to 2,000 years.
The second threshold was 5,000 years. Living beings below the Imperial Lord realm had a maximum lifespan of 5,000 years! This was the River of Spacetime’s law. It couldn’t be broken. If Meng Chuan wanted his wife to live for more than 2,000 years, the price would be greater. The third threshold was 100,000 years. This was the limit of an Imperial Lord’s lifespan. Imperial Lords usually had a 10,000-year lifespan. It was very difficult for them to extend their lifespans. The price of extending their lifespans by 10,000 years was very terrifying. However, if they were lucky and obtained some legendary treasures, they could theoretically have a 100,000-year lifespan. Of course, it was very difficult for them to chance upon such great luck in any era in the River of Spacetime. It was much harder than producing a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
As for extending the lifespans for Tribulation Eminences? Most of them didn’t bother spending any effort.
This was because an additional two to three centuries was meaningless when they already had long lifespans. It didn’t match the effort they needed to put in. As for extending their lifespans by more than 10,000 years? The price was enough to leave them in despair. In this era, apart from me, Archean Eon Realm doesn’t have a single Imperial Lord. If I fail to transcend the tribulation, Archean Eon Realm will rapidly decline. Meng Chuan frowned slightly. I can only pin my hopes on Master, who has already comprehended a Heaven Earth realm law.
Qin Wu had comprehended a Heaven Earth realm law, but his Essence Soul realm was lacking.
Meng Chuan could only provide better conditions and guidance on cultivation. Cultivation ultimately depended on oneself. Even Ancestral Master Archean Eon could only hope that Archean Eon Realm’s descendants could produce geniuses over a long period of time. At the very least, when Ancestral Master Archean Eon was alive, he could nurture a few Imperial Lords. He had already done plenty by nurturing an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence.
I have to extend Master’s lifespan. Master is a Supremacy. He doesn’t have a special bloodline. The difficulty of extending his lifespan is lower than Qiyue’s. However, Master already has a 2,000-year lifespan. The price to break the threshold for him isn’t small either.
Quite a bit is needed for longevity extension. I’ll just refine one World Treasure.
Just one World Treasure was enough to transcend the tribulation.
World Treasures were the greatest expenditure for Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences. World Treasures could make an illusory Essence Soul World more corporeal. Their strength would increase greatly, and their Essence Soul would become more stable. Be it when facing enemies, protecting oneself, or transcending tribulations, World Treasures were most helpful.
World Treasures at the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm typically cost thousands of cubes! Most Sixth Tribulation World Treasures cost more than 100,000 cubes.
I can save on other things, but I can’t save on the World Treasure. Meng Chuan pondered. I’ll use the best materials to refine it. I have grasped a lightning law. The most suitable refinement material is Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. I have to buy one grain.
Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand had a very special background. Legend had it that a Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminence faced their ninth Heavenly Tribulation on a Primordial Star.
The ninth Physical Body Heavenly Tribulation was the Tribulation of Lightning Punishment. The Primordial Star struck by it completely shattered, forming special materials under the Lightning Punishment. It was known as Nine Tribulation Lightning Sand.
It was an unsolved mystery whether the Eighth Tribulation Eminence who had transcended the tribulation succeeded or failed. However, Nine Tribulation Lightning Sand was indeed the best lightning lineage material in the River of Spacetime. At the very least, based on Meng Chuan’s knowledge, it was ranked first.
It was traded by the grain, and every grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was extremely precious and difficult to buy.
A World Treasure that uses Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand as its core is the most suitable for me. My Essence Soul will be more stable, and my chances of transcending the tribulation will be much higher.
The additional stability of an Essence Soul might mean the difference between a successful or failed Tribulation Transcendence.
Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was not only useful to lightning law cultivators.
Unfortunately, Ancestral Master Archean Eon doesn’t cultivate the lightning lineage. Therefore, he didn’t deliberately gather Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand despite having collected a lot of treasures. Meng Chuan pondered. There were many treasures in the outer realm void. Even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence didn’
t have that much time and energy to collect them all.
I have to find it through Eternal Tower’s channels, and I have to do it as soon as possible. If I can’t find it, I have to change to another material, Meng Chuan thought to himself. He would be transcending the tribulation in about 100 years. He only had a short time to gather the materials. If he couldn’t find the materials, he could only give up on the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand.
Chapter 606 - Eighth Tribulation Treasure
Thousand Mountain Star, Eternal Tower’s ninth floor.
Meng Chuan stood there and looked at the massive number of illusory treasures floating around him.
Eternal Tower doesn’t have any Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand in its vaults. Meng Chuan checked them over and over again. He also understood that an ultimate technique like the Void Catalog could be rewritten by an Eminence who had comprehended the Dao of Space. Therefore, it could be sold publicly.
Likewise, rare treasures were occasionally produced in the outer realm. However, Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was only produced when that particular Eighth Tribulation Eminence transcended the tribulation. It had to be produced in a special environment with the special method that the Eighth Tribulation Eminence used to resist the lightning tribulation. All these factors combined resulted in the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand’s birth.
It was difficult for it to be produced again. Every grain used was one less grain. Even Eighth Tribulation Eminences placed great importance on it. This was because every grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand contained the power of the ninth Heavenly Tribulation.
There’s no other way to find it in a short period of time. Meng Chuan looked up. As the administrator of this Eternal Tower branch, he activated Eternal Tower’s array formation, causing a huge eye to appear above him. This eye had some characteristics of the Eye of Eternal.
“I’m willing to offer an Eighth Tribulation treasure, the Heart of Immeasurable, as a bounty for one grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand,” said Meng Chuan. With a wave of his hand, the Heart of Immeasurable appeared beside him.
