Meng Chuan also knew that he was relatively faster because he had created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique and raised it to the Fifth Tribulation realm. However, being fast for a moment didn’t mean that he would always be fast.
How many Seventh Tribulation Eminences were there in the entire River of Spacetime? From this, one could tell that most creators of Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques couldn’t reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.
“You are very young and have extraordinary potential,” said the white-robed elder with a sigh. “According to Master’s speculations, the probability of another Seventh Tribulation Eminence appearing in a middle-level world like Archean Eon Realm is negligible. Therefore, one can obtain half of his treasures as long as a sufficiently young Sixth Tribulation Eminence is born.”
“Half of his treasures?” asked Meng Chuan. “What age range is Ancestral Master Archean Eon referring to when he said sufficiently young?” “Becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence within 10,000 years is considered sufficiently young,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “You are much stronger than the standards set by Master.”Similarly, you can also know all of Master’s secrets. These secrets can only be known by you. You can’t tell outsiders, including the people closest to you,” said the white-robed elder solemnly. “According to Master’s arrangements, even if a Sixth Tribulation Eminence appears in Archean Eon Realm, many secrets can’t be touched upon. Only those who reach the Sixth Tribulation realm within 10,000 years can learn of everything.” “Oh?” Meng Chuan was curious.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon was already dead. It wasn’t easy for a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to appear in his homeworld, yet he still hid such information.
Only someone like me who has enough potential can learn about this information?
“Some Seventh Tribulation Eminences might not see what you will see today.” The white-robed elder turned his head and said, “Follow me.”
Boom!
A path opened up ahead. Meng Chuan followed the white-robed elder in.
“Since you have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm, you should understand that the entire River of Spacetime is typically controlled by Seventh Tribulation Eminences,” said the white-robed elder as he walked.
“According to my understanding, there aren’t any Eighth Tribulation Eminences in this era. There are about 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences,” said Meng Chuan.
“Even if there are Eighth Tribulation Eminences, they can’t be bothered to participate in the River of Spacetime’s internal affairs. Their sights are much further,” said the white-robed elder. “As you said, there are only 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences in this era. These 20 to 30 are the ones who control nearly all the top resources in the River of Spacetime. They are also divided into factions. Some form a single faction, while others form a faction as a pair or trio. “In the River of Spacetime, only Seventh Tribulation Eminences can form a faction,” said the white-robed elder. “One has to join a faction to enjoy the top resources. Otherwise, they won’t even have the right to touch most of the resources.”
“Oh?” Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.
After seeing Realm Ancestor’s strength, he had an inkling. It was possible for 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences to control most of the resources. For example, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had set up an array formation when he discovered Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, preventing outsiders from entering. Only by joining a faction could one enjoy the resources. Otherwise, they could forget about touching them.
“Becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence makes you one of the backbones of any top faction in the River of Spacetime,” said the white-robed elder. “If a Fifth Tribulation Eminence is not worth mentioning because there are countless of them, then Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime are few in number. Seventh Tribulation Eminences still place great importance on Sixth Tribulation Eminences. After all, they can’t split themselves infinitely. Many important places are managed by their subordinates.
“After the news of you becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence is announced, you will also be faced with the choice of joining a faction,” said the white-robed elder. “Eternal Tower itself can’t be considered a faction. It’s a very loose trading organization. There are many Seventh Tribulation Eminences inside, and all of these Seventh Tribulation Eminences have their own motives.
“Of course, Eternal Tower has a very special existence-Eye of Eternal. It’s as powerful as a Seventh Tribulation Eminence and is eternal. Even if a Sixth Tribulation Eminence of Eternal Tower doesn’t join any faction, they will be protected by it.
Meng Chuan knew this.
The Eye of Eternal wasn’t a cultivator. It was more like a special existence. It didn’t belong to any factions and was loyal to Eternal Tower. It naturally protected its core members.
“Don’t be in a hurry to choose a faction. Let’s first understand the division of factions in this era,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “There are only 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences. There are probably only a handful of truly powerful factions.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. He still didn’t know much about these factions. After all, he wasn’t privy to such information.
As a Fifth Tribulation Eminence previously, meeting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence was as difficult as ascending to the heavens since there were countless Fifth Tribulation Eminences across the River of Spacetime. Even Realm Ancestor’s summoning was due to Meng Chuan’s young age and Sixth Tribulation realm strength.
“We’ve arrived.” The white-robed elder solemnly stared at the dark land in front of him. “Master’s greatest secret—which you absolutely can’t tell a second person is that he was lucky enough to obtain an Eternal treasure.”
“Eternal treasure?” Meng Chuan was stunned. “As the name implies.” The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan. “It’s a treasure refined by an Eternal existence. This is the greatest opportunity in Master’s life. Back then, he immediately hid in Archean Eon Realm after he was lucky enough to obtain it. He never dared to announce it! He was afraid of causing endless trouble. Thankfully, an Eternal treasure is beyond time. Even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence can’t find an Eternal treasure when they search the past and future. “Come in. Come with me to see this Eternal treasure. This is because you will be the one in charge of it in the future.” The white-robed elder walked towards the dark land.
Meng Chuan held his breath and walked in.
Final Chapter of Volume—Sixth Tribulation Realm
Chapter 636 - Seal
The dark land was a space deep in Archean Eon Realm’s Heaven and Earth Great Hall. It was only 1,000 feet wide.
The white-robed elder led Meng Chuan into the space.
The entire space was dark, and one had no way to get their bearings. A huge, gray seal floated in the air. Its existence caused the surrounding void to be destroyed constantly. Under the suppression of the dark land’s array formation, its annihilative might was suppressed to a 100-foot radius. Apart from the seal, there was a lake of blood. A large amount of dark-red blood gathered there.
However, in terms of aura, the gray seal clearly far exceeded the blood in the lake that spanned hundreds of feet.
This blood is clearly the blood of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Meng Chuan was very certain of this. He had seen Seventh Tribulation-level flesh and blood before. He had also seen an Eighth Tribulation creature’s arm. Therefore, when he saw the dark-red blood that pooled into a lake, he instantly determined that it was at the Eighth Tribulation realm.
A lake consisting of an Eighth Tribulation being’s blood was completely suppressed by the large seal.
“This is an Eternal treasure. I can’t approach it any further,” said the white-robed elder. “Even though it was Master who set up the array formation, the emissions from the seal’s power can still destroy everything within 100 feet.”
“It’s this powerful, even without an owner c
ontrolling it?” Meng Chuan carefully observed it.
“That is just the might of its natural emission,” said the white-robed elder. “When Master wielded it, he felt confident that he could match a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
“Half-step Eighth Tribulation realm?” Meng Chuan was puzzled. “One that has made a breakthrough in laws, but has yet to undergo a physical breakthrough?
The white-robed elder nodded.
For Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences, it might be very difficult for them to comprehend the laws of time and space. However, it was equally difficult for their willpower to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm’s threshold.
It was the same for Physical Body Tribulation Eminences. Some may have comprehended the laws, but they couldn’t raise their bodies to the corresponding level. Such a situation placed them as half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences.
A half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence was extremely powerful. After all, they had a portion of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s strength. They could easily crush Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
“Ancestral Master Archean Eon could match a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence with this Eternal treasure?” Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed.
“You can give it a try,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “The might of the treasure’s natural emissions isn’t something to be afraid of. I’m only a Guardian, so I can’t restrain it.”
“Okay.” Meng Chuan’s mind stirred.
The painting-like Essence Soul World appeared and enveloped the dark area—which was only 1,000 feet wide. It suppressed the large seal, forcing it to restrain its might. After all, it had no owner or energy source. Meng Chuan ultimately managed to suppress it, albeit barely.
A wisp of Power of Essence Soul seeped into the ancient gray seal.
The moment it infiltrated the Eternal treasure
–
Boom!
Meng Chuan could vaguely see a towering, blurry, and bald figure holding a gray seal. The gray seal revealed an unimaginable might. The area in front of him was immeasurably vast. It far exceeded the size of 100 river zones. Everything in the vast area was reduced to nothingness.
Meng Chuan vaguely understood that this was likely the mark left behind by the seal’s creator.
The bald, towering figure suddenly turned his head slightly and looked at Meng Chuan.
He saw me. Meng Chuan panicked. Meng Chuan found it impossible to gaze into the other party’s eyes directly, but he could clearly sense that the other party was looking at him.
Following that, the illusory figure completely dissipated.
The creator of an Eternal treasure is also an Eternal existence. That Eternal existence should still be alive. Therefore, I must have attracted his attention, even if I have only seen a sliver of his mark?
However, Meng Chuan then realized that the other party had only been looking at him casually. To a lofty Eternal existence, even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence was nothing, much less a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.
This situation was just like how a grain of rice —which had fallen to the ground-would be carried away by an ant in excitement. An Eternal existence was the existence that ate while Meng Chuan was just an ant carrying away the grain of rice.
Perhaps Eternal treasures are just casually refined by Eternal existences. To a true invincible existence with an Eternal lifespan, what is spending some time to refine a weapon?
When the creator wielded the seal, the destruction range was immensely vast… The area I could see at that moment should be from the Eternal existence’s perspective. The area it covered is probably more than half the River of Spacetime. Meng Chuan deduced that his estimate wouldn’t be that far off, even if there was a mistake.
The other party can probably destroy this universe’s entire River of Spacetime with a flip of his hand. So this is an Eternal existence?
Meng Chuan felt mixed emotions. In the past, he had thought that Eighth Tribulation Eminences were ridiculously powerful and unimaginably powerful. They could jump out of time and travel to the future or even other universes.
Seventh Tribulation Eminences were fish in the river. Eighth Tribulation Eminences were already pedestrians on the shore.
However, Meng Chuan now realized that an Eternal existence was a god above the shore. They could destroy rivers and perhaps create them. They were Eternal.
As for me, I’m currently only a small fish in the river. I was lucky enough to obtain a weapon that a god dropped into the river. This weapon was picked up by a big fish like Ancestral Master Archean Eon.
This seal… Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul seeped into it.
The gray seal had run dry for a long time. It didn’t have a source of energy. Therefore, Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul was rapidly absorbed the moment it seeped into the seal. Through this, Meng Chuan could see the gray seal’s true appearance. This is too… Meng Chuan was stunned.
Boundless laws.
He found the lightning law within them, but the lightning law was only one of the fine threads. The laws here were as vast as the sea. It was like a beautiful building had been built.
Meng Chuan sensed that it was a strange building with ten corners. The building was formed by countless laws, and it was filled with a destructive force.
I’ve finally seen an existence that can match the River of Spacetime’s laws. Meng Chuan was shocked.
The way the River of Spacetime operated was supreme. Heavenly Tribulations descended because of it.
The lifespans of various creatures, the size of inhabited worlds, the coldness and heat in the outer realm… All sorts of laws originated from it.
However, this gray seal was another structure composed of countless laws! It was different from the laws of spacetime. However, the two were on the same level. At the very least, they were equally vast and unbelievable from Meng Chuan’s vantage point.
The laws of spacetime were more balanced, while the gray seal was purely for destruction.
It’s too complicated. Just comprehending the lightning law is impossible to activate it at all. Meng Chuan was somewhat dazed.
It was as though he was a child reading a heavenly book. He was only lucky enough to recognize one of the words! He didn’t understand it at all once the words were strung together.
“Master said before,” the white-robed elder finally said, “that an Eternal treasure is paramount. To activate it… one has to grasp an Origins law at the very least. Only by using an Origins law can one barely drive it, allowing one to unleash some of its might. That might is enough to dominate all Seventh Tribulation Eminences and allow one to be comparable to a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
“Master instructed me that Archean Eon Realm juniors are forbidden from bringing this Eternal Treasure out of Archean Eon Realm before they reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. He also forbids them from telling anyone else.” The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan. “Only by accepting this condition can you receive the gift from Ancestral Master.”
“I accept,” said Meng Chuan without hesitation.
“Okay.” The white-robed elder nodded. “It’s good that you can understand. Master also said that not only will the experts discover the Eternal treasure once it is exposed, but even Eighth Tribulation Eminences will probably be able to discover its existence and come to this spacetime to vie for the Eternal treasure. Don’t think that hiding it in an inhabited world will be useful. An inhabited world can also be destroyed.”
“I understand.” Meng Chuan had seen the remnant imprints in the gray seal. He knew very well that the entire universe was probably not mentioning in front of an Eternal existence.
A middle-level world? Meng Chuan knew that a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature could feed on middle-level worlds.
Therefore, if Eighth Tribulation Eminences were to discover any traces of an Eternal treasure, they would travel across spacetime and arrive at th
is era. Archean Eon Realm wouldn’t be able to stop them at all. One could only protect the secret by doing what Ancestral Master Archean Eon did not telling anyone else. He went as far as hiding in the inhabited world and refrained from taking it out. Since an Eternal treasure was beyond time, it could remain safe.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon had only left this secret to his descendants before he died. Furthermore, one had to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm and have enough potential before they had the right to come into contact with the Eternal treasure. “Master said that ordinary Tribulation Eminences could comprehend the operation of spacetime,” said the white-robed elder. “After obtaining an Eternal treasure, apart from comprehending the operation of spacetime, one can also comprehend the countless laws within the seal. Comparing the two structures will be very beneficial to one’s cultivation.”
Meng Chuan nodded and acknowledged this point. Of course, the seal was like a heavenly book to him-incomprehensible.
“There’s also the lake of blood.” The white-robed elder pointed at the lake of blood. “When Master obtained the seal by chance, the seal was enveloped by this blood. The will within the blood has completely dissipated. The original owner of the blood has clearly died. This is the blood of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Since it involves an Eternal treasure, you can’t bring it out of Archean Eon Realm either. You can only study this blood’s mysteries in Archean Eon Realm.”
Chapter 637 - Total Treasure Value
This seal was originally wrapped in all this blood? Many thoughts surfaced in Meng Chuan’s mind. The blood’s owner was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, but they have actually died?
Was it because of this Eternal treasure? Or was it because the Eternal treasure was the Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s weapon? Did they ultimately die in battle after fighting against their enemies?
