An Eighth Tribulation Eminence who can jump out of the timeline and live in different periods of time can even head to other universes. To think they died just like that. Furthermore, they clearly didn’t die of old age.
Meng Chuan sighed. Of course, this was a very distant matter for him. He carefully examined the dark-red blood that resembled a small lake.
The Eighth Tribulation Eminence arm that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had openly left made one feel like it was the end of everything
—the end of spacetime, and the end to all kinds of energy. It also made the coldness reach an extreme. At the same time, it was the beginning of everything—the birth of a world. However, it ended the moment it was born. This blood is completely different from that arm. Meng Chuan realized this immediately. The blood was clearly in front of him. However, Meng Chuan could instantly magnify a drop of blood by hundreds of millions of times with his naked eye. When the drops of blood were magnified to the size of a mountain, one would discover that every drop of blood seemed to both exist and not exist at the same time upon closer inspection. It was as though it possessed two statesexistence and non-existence.
It was like a painting. From one angle, it might look like something. However, it looked completely different from another angle.
At Meng Chuan’s realm, he could examine the blood on several different levels with his naked eye. When he magnified the blood to a certain extent, he realized that the blood had two states.
Such a situation prevents the blood from being destroyed because it doesn’t exist. However, it can kill enemies because it exists.
e
Meng Chuan’s heart palpitated.
An incomprehensible situation had occurred. It could only be said that it far exceeded what Meng Chuan could comprehend at his current realm. From this blood, he could tell how terrifying an Eighth Tribulation Eminence was. The difference is ultimately too great before I reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. There’s still the Seventh Tribulation realm separating me from it.
The only Seventh Tribulation Eminence Meng Chuan had come into close contact with was Realm Ancestor. In front of Realm Ancestor, Meng Chuan couldn’t fight back at all. Back when he was cultivating in a chamber on Thousand Mountain Star, Realm Ancestor had easily ‘fished’ out Meng Chuan across distant spacetime.
Unfortunately, be it that arm or this blood, they’re useless to me right now. Meng Chuan shook his head slightly. This is because I haven’t comprehended the Chaos Hole law. The Chaos Hole law was one of the Origins laws. One could rely on it to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.
Meng Chuan had cultivated in Chaos Holes for many years. Many of his insights were a part of the Chaos Hole law. Furthermore, he was the most familiar with Chaos Holes. He analyzed it from his best vantage point. Therefore, his goal was the Chaos Hole law since he wanted to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.
The Eighth Tribulation arm and the blood lake in front of me contain more than one Origins law. If I can reach the Seventh Tribulation realm, these two items will be of help to me. As for now? I don’t need to spend too much effort on them. Meng Chuan understood this point.
“Meng Chuan, let’s go and see Master’s other treasures,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “The Eternal treasure and this blood must be kept a secret. However, other treasures can be brought out.”
“Can I leave my Essence Soul avatar here?” asked Meng Chuan. “Of course.” The white-robed elder nodded and said, “From today onwards, Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures will be under your control. Apart from these two treasures, you can choose half of the other treasures.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
Whoosh!
An Essence Soul avatar flew out from his body and landed at the side. The Essence Soul avatar immediately walked to a corner and sat cross-legged, carefully studying the large seal.
The seal was esoteric and profound. However, the Great Seal was an existence on the same level as the laws of spacetime. Comprehending the Great Seal was like comprehending another spacetime law.
Compared to other Tribulation Eminences, the advantage of having an Eternal treasure was that one could comprehend two spacetime laws at the same time. Furthermore, their inherent qualities were different.
The white-robed elder continued to show Meng Chuan’s true body around the vaults, causing Meng Chuan to sigh in amazement.
Ancestral Master is truly impressive. He walked out of a low-level world as a weak Supremacy and relied on himself to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. His wealth has also benefited the entire Archean Eon Realm.
Meng Chuan was extremely impressed because these treasures were all-encompassing.
Eighth Tribulation treasures were only a small portion of them. Ancestral Master Archean Eon also had many rare treasures and rare herbs that were difficult to find in the outside world. They were carefully stored by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. The treasures he chose could be stored for a long time.
“These are all of Master’s treasures.” The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan. “You’ve seen them all. Apart from the Eternal treasure and the blood lake, all the other treasures are worth about 60 million to 90 million cubes altogether. In fact, many of the treasures here are very rare. They can only be exchanged as part of barters. Therefore, there’s no way to determine their exact value. If you sell them now, one treasure might be able to fetch up to 500,000 cubes. However, one treasure could also be sold for 800,000 cubes another time.”
Meng Chuan also understood this. If he encountered something he desperately needed, he would rather spend more to buy it. Therefore, it was normal for the total value of the treasures to be set at 60 million cubes to 90 million cubes.
“Master has set low prices for all the treasures that are to be given to his descendants,” said the white-robed elder. “At the lowest prices, the treasures are worth 60 million cubes altogether. You can choose any of the treasures as long as you don’t exceed the 30-million-cube quota. This is also Ancestral Master’s final gift to you… In the future, the remaining treasures belong to other juniors, no matter how far you go or how powerful you become.”
re
Giving half of his treasures to a particular junior was Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s limit.
“Ancestral Master has already given me too much,” said Meng Chuan with a sigh. He was very impressed with Ancestral Master Archean Eon. Although the Ancestral Master had given Meng Chuan half his treasures, Meng Chuan decided to limit how much he would take. Furthermore, Meng Chuan would make up for it in the future! He might even add even more to the treasure vault, allowing Archean Eon Realm to accumulate even more valuable things.
“Master has also asked me to remind you about one thing: confirm your strength in your respective faction as soon as possible after reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm,” said the white-robed elder.
Meng Chuan nodded.
This was common knowledge. Once one transcended the tribulation, they would confirm it as soon as possible. When Meng Chuan’s status in Eternal Tower was greatly elevated, he would learn the many secrets that Sixth Tribulation Eminences knew.
The secrets of every era were different. The intelligence left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon was outdated since more than a million years had passed.
The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan left Archean Eon Realm and went to Thousand Mountain Star. This was only an Essence Soul avatar. Meng Chuan felt that an Essence Soul avatar was enough to guard Thousand Mountain Star.
“Thousand Mountain Star.” Meng Chuan appeared high above Thousand Mountain Star and looked down at Eastcalm City. After transcending the tribulation, he felt different when he looked at Eastcalm City again.
“City Lord.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud flew over from afar.
“Scenic Cloud.” Meng Chuan looked at him and smiled as he instructed, “Forget about the matter requiring you to watch the Demon Realm.”
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was taken aback b
efore he understood. He asked with some guesses, “City Lord, you.. you have successfully transcended the tribulation?”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was shocked and felt mixed emotions. He couldn’t help but sigh. “My Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake race is scattered across the River of Spacetime. However, no Sixth Tribulation Eminence has been born in this era. Us special lifeforms rely on our talent and strength. However, once we get used to our talent, it becomes very difficult for us to break through the limits of our talent.”
Meng Chuan could understand. As long as special lifeforms matured, all sorts of insights would naturally enter their minds even when they were sleeping. These powerful special lifeforms grew in strength very easily. With just a little effort, they would have combat strength comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence when they reached maturity. After they used all their bloodline’s benefits, these special lifeforms had to rely on themselves to gain insights. It was also more difficult for them to cultivate than the Tribulation Eminences who had cultivated step by step.
For example, pure-blooded dragons had terrifying talent. Yet, there wasn’t a single Seventh Tribulation Eminence in this era.
“City Lord, may I ask how you comprehended the Sixth Tribulation law?” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud looked at Meng Chuan. “Can you give me some pointers? I’ve been stuck at this step for a very long time.”
“There’s no way to teach you that.” Meng Chuan smiled at him. “Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime. I can only say that… you should ponder, think, and comprehend more.” With that said, Meng Chuan flew towards Eternal Tower.
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stood rooted to the ground and muttered to himself, “Ponder more? Think? Comprehend?”
On the ninth floor of Thousand Mountain Star’s Eternal Tower.
Meng Chuan appeared in the hall. He immediately sent a message through the branch. With the Eternal Tower headquarters in Goddess River Zone as the transmission point, his message reached Eternal Tower’s headquarters in the River of Spacetime.
“Three Bay River System’s Eastcalm has already transcended the tribulation and become an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence.” After Meng Chuan reported the news, he only needed to wait for Eternal Tower’s headquarters to confirm it.
Chapter 638 - Starlord Scarlet Snake and Meng Chuan
After reporting the news, Meng Chuan checked Eternal Tower’s treasure vault to see if there was anything suitable for him.
Meng Chuan was slightly taken aback. “Eternal Tower responded so quickly?”
It took just 30 seconds.
“City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, please teleport to the nearby Eternal Tower River Zone headquarters.” The response was very simple. As a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan was considered a core force in the River of Spacetime. He had the right to head to Eternal Tower’s headquarters in the River of Spacetime.
I haven’t been to Eternal Tower’s River of Spacetime headquarters before. Meng Chuan was rather curious. After all, Fifth Tribulation Eminences weren’t qualified to go there. He heard that Seventh Tribulation Eminences had been presiding over it for a long time. He also heard that Eternal Tower’s infinite number of treasures were hidden there.
That day, Meng Chuan’s outer realm true body rushed to Scarlet Snake Planet through the River of Spacetime.
Scarlet Snake Planet was Eternal Tower’s headquarters in Goddess River Zone.
The massive Scarlet Snake Planet was as prosperous as ever. Similarly, there were layers of array formations protecting it. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t cause any commotion when they entered or exited the planet. However, the array formation immediately sensed Meng Chuan when he arrived.
Immediately, an acquaintance came forward.
“What a rare occasion to have Brother Eastcalm come to my Scarlet Snake Planet personally,” said Chi Jiuxin with a chuckle as he flew over.
It was indeed very rare. This was because transactions could be done through Eastcalm City’s Eternal Tower branch. Chi Jiuxin originally thought that probably more than 10,000 years would pass before he could meet Meng Chuan again. Who knew that they would meet again so quickly?
“I came because I have something important to do,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“Something important?” Chi Jiuxin was puzzled. “Brother Eastcalm, feel free to ask if there’s anything I can help you with.”
“I want to use the Eternal Tower on Scarlet Snake Planet to head to Eternal Tower’s headquarters in the River of Spacetime,” said Meng Chuan directly. This was because he had obtained the River Zone-level commander’s approval.
“Head to the headquarters in the River of Spacetime?” Chi Jiuxin was slightly stunned. “Y-you…”
“Jiuxin, why are you still in a daze?” A thin elder appeared. His body was thin, and his face was wrinkled. He looked old, and his eyes were cold. At that moment, he looked at Meng Chuan with a rare smile.
“Patriarch.” Chi Jiuxin immediately bowed respectfully.
This person was Starlord Scarlet Snake, the only Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the River of Spacetime’s Scarlet Snake race.
The thin elder smiled as he observed Meng Chuan. “It’s no wonder Jiuxin couldn’t tell that Brother Eastcalm has reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.”
Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul was hidden in his sea of consciousness. As long as he restrained his aura, it was indeed difficult for others to sense his changes.
At the Physical Body Sixth Tribulation realm, one’s body was exposed to the outside world. They could easily sense the difference in one’s natural order in life.
“Starlord, you are wise,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“Including you, there are nine Sixth Tribulation Eminences in our Goddess River Zone,” said the thin elder with a smile. “Among them, there are three Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminences. They take up a third of the total. It’s considered a high ratio.”
Meng Chuan understood what Starlord Scarlet Snake meant. Of all the Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime, 20% were Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences, while nearly 80% were Physical Body Tribulation Eminences.
“It’s a joyous occasion to have a newly-advanced Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence in my homeworld’s river zone. Come, come. Be my guest. I know you are going to the headquarters in the River of Spacetime to test your strength, but half a day isn’t much of a delay.” Starlord Scarlet Snake was rather enthusiastic.
“As you say, Starlord,” replied Meng Chuan with a smile. He was very calm.
Chi Jiuxin followed by the side, still somewhat dazed. Brother Eastcalm has reached the Sixth Tribulation realm? He’s that fast?
He had no idea about it. Although there was news of Meng Chuan breaking through to the Sixth Tribulation realm in the Cang Alliance space, it hadn’t been completely confirmed. Secondly, the Cang Alliance space was a very small and private circle.
Meng Chuan and Starlord Scarlet Snake sat cross-legged in front of a spread containing delicacies and fine wine. They chatted as they drank and ate.
“Having cultivated our entire lives, the only thing we can’t let up on is eating and drinking.” Starlord Scarlet Snake happily took a sip of the emerald-like wine and said, “Eating top-notch delicacies and drinking rare fine wine can make us feel joy from the bottom of our hearts. Since I’m approaching the end of my lifespan, I feel like I should enjoy good food and wine before I die.”
Meng Chuan nodded in agreement. He could understand what the other party was getting at.
“I’ve worried about my race my entire life. Since my chances of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm are getting slimmer, I should treat myself better.” Starlord Scarlet Snake smiled at Meng Chuan. “It’s rare to see a new Sixth Tribulation Eminence in my homeworld’s river zone. If you don’t mind me being nosy, I’ll say a few words.”
“Starlord, please speak.”
Meng Chuan poured wine for the other party, as well as for himself.
Starlord Scarlet Snake looked at Meng Chuan with the cup of wine in hand. “After reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, the first major thing one has to do is join a certain faction.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He didn’t know much about the current top factions in the River of Spacetime.
“Any Seventh Tribulation Eminence can form their own faction,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake. “They have no need to bow their heads to other experts. However, there are ultimately differences between Seventh Tribulation Eminences. For example, in this era, the two most dazzling existences in the entire River of Spacetime are the two strongest and most impressive existences.”
“Which two?” asked Meng Chuan. Although he had collected information on Seventh Tribulation Eminences, he had still been at the Fifth Tribulation realm back then. The information he could gather was too crude.
Starlord Scarlet Snake was slightly taken aback as he smiled. “That’s true. You just broke through, so you aren’t too sure. The most dazzling figures in this era are naturally Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian. They have grasped the laws of time and space. They are existences that have one foot into the Eighth Tribulation realm.”
Meng Chuan understood.
These two were at the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm! Their nomological insights were sufficient, but their bodies and Essence Souls had yet to break through to the Eighth Tribulation realm.
“The two of them are the most impressive figures in this era. With each of them as a core, they form the two strongest factions in the present era,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake with a smile. “I’m not saying this to persuade you to join these two factions. These two factions have as many experts as the clouds. They have several Seventh Tribulation Eminences and several half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. As an ordinary Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence, you won’t turn heads, even if you join them.”
Meng Chuan nodded. There weren’t many Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime. However, according to his understanding, there should be tens of thousands of them. He was only one among tens of thousands, and he had just broken through. Although there were very few Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime, there were probably nearly 10,000 of them.
