“For example, the Lord of Shadows and Origin Realm Chieftain easily cleared the Seventh Tribulation realm threshold at a young age. They have even become top Seventh Tribulation Eminences.”
Azure Dragon looked at Meng Chuan. “Brother Eastcalm, you have only cultivated for slightly over 5,000 years. I estimate that you will easily reach the Seventh Tribulation realm and become White Avian Hall’s first Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.”
The Seventh Tribulation realm’s threshold was like a chasm. But this threshold was a relaxing and pleasant milestone for some. This made the Eminences struggling at the threshold feel mixed emotions.
“Once Eastcalm takes that step, he will be an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Our White Avian Hall will also have an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.” Hall Lord White Avian was rather expectant. The threat of an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence was much greater than a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
A Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence only had one true body in the outer realm. One needed to cultivate, defend, and fight. There were many things they couldn’t do. However, how many people could withstand an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s numerous Essence Soul avatars—an immense threat, even when they were unarmed? Just the Essence Soul mystic techniques they had were formidable enough.
Why did Origin Realm dare to fight Six Directions Heaven and White Avian Hall at the same time?
Why was Black Fiend Hall so ferocious?
Why was Realm Ancestor’s status extraordinary?
It was all because of the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm!
As for the young Meng Chuan, he had a deep foundation in his cultivation. His willpower was long sufficient. He had a smooth path ahead of him! Nothing could stop him from becoming an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
“When you reach the Seventh Tribulation realm, White Avian Hall will arrange a Clear Spring Island cave abode for you,” said White Avian with a smile. “As an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, you naturally have to occupy one.”
“Thank you, Hall Lord,” said Meng Chuan.
An Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence was practically entitled to a cave abode on Clear Spring Island. However, those cave abodes had owners! If he wanted to occupy one, he had to force a Seventh Tribulation Eminence to give it up.
According to normal rules, it was normal for a war to break out. However, Hall Lord White Avian had personally promised him that he would handle this matter.
“Due to your cultivation potential,” said Hall Lord White Avian with a smile, “you now have the authority equivalent to a Librarian. You can read all the books and legacies in White Avian Hall freely.”
“Thank you, Hall Lord.” Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.
Many legacies in the River of Spacetime could be perused a limited number of times. For example, an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation legacy would be destroyed after reading it nine times. Therefore, having the right to read the books was very precious.
The three Librarians were Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
Meng Chuan now had similar authority.
“The most precious legacy of White Avian Hall is the original copy of the Immeasurable Universe,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “The other legacy manuals are only at the Eighth Tribulation realm at best. There’s no need for me to remind you. However, the Immeasurable Universe is suspected to be created by an Eternal existence. It starts from the viewpoint of the Immeasurable lineage and describes all the laws in the universe.”
Created by an Eternal existence? Meng Chuan’s heart skipped a beat.
“According to what I know, only Void Catalog and Immeasurable Universe are suspected to be created by Eternal existences. It can be confirmed that the other techniques weren’t created by Eternals,” explained Hall Lord White Avian. “Void Catalog mainly talks about spatial laws. It’s rather easy to understand. However, the Immeasurable Universe is much more complicated. It contains all the laws.”
All the laws? Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed.
“There are records of time, space, all Origins laws, and even a large number of Sixth and Fifth Tribulation laws,” said Hall Lord White Avian with a sigh. “Countless laws form a single entity in this manual, but because it’s too profound, I have to remind you that reading the Immeasurable Universe will either require you to comprehend the Immeasurable law or to have acquired extremely profound insights in time and space. Otherwise, reading it will only bring harm and no benefits.”
Meng Chuan fell into deep thought and asked, “Hall Lord, you said, ‘when one’s insights in time and space reach an extremely profound level.’ What’s considered extremely profound?”
“When there’s only one step left before you grasp the complete time and space laws,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “In more detail, it’s to grasp the spatial law and the past, present, and future for time. Upon reaching this step, you will be able to read Immeasurable Universe.”
Meng Chuan was speechless. Grasping the past, present, future, and the complete spatial law are just the requirements to read the original copy? Compared to that, grasping the Immeasurable law is much easier.
Hall Master Azure Dragon added, “This is because this book originally uses the Immeasurable lineage as a guide. Therefore, cultivators who grasp the Immeasurable law can comprehend it. They have the advantage. Sect Master Mental Demon had that advantage. After reading the Immeasurable Universe, he benefited greatly. With a half-step Seventh Tribulation body, he can match a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.”
Meng Chuan came to a realization.
“This is the best manual in the Immeasurable lineage. It’s also the best manual in the River of Spacetime,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “It’s not suitable to study it before one’s realm reaches a certain level. This is my suggestion. If you want to read it now, I won’t stop you.”
“Thank you for your advice.” Meng Chuan trusted the other party very much.
This was because there were definitely some Seventh Tribulation Eminences that had studied such manuals in history. There were definitely detailed records about it, so Hall Lord White Avian had no need to lie about it.
Unfortunately, Meng Chuan’s current goal was the Chaos Hole law. He was destined not to study the Immeasurable Universe for a long time. However, Meng Chuan was still looking forward to all the other books in White Avian Hall.
Apart from personal cultivation, it was also very important to absorb the seniors’ wisdom.
“I think very highly of you.” Hall Lord White Avian smiled at Meng Chuan. With a wave of his hand, three items flew toward Meng Chuan. “These are the three gifts I prepared for you.”
“Gifts?” Meng Chuan was stunned.
As a faction, White Avian Hall had many internal rules.
The benefits he obtained corresponded with his responsibilities.
Meng Chuan had to make enough contributions to White Avian Hall in order to exchange for the corresponding benefits. Reading all the books and legacies was the Librarian’s authority. It was already very rare for it to be given to him in advance. Yet, he was even given treasures? White Avian Hall didn’t have such rules.
“It’s a personal gift from me,” said Hall Lord White Avian.
Meng Chuan looked ahead.
Three items landed on the table in front of him. On the left was a black book. In the middle was a fist-sized cyan fruit that emitted a fragrance. On the right was a silver cube.
These items? Meng Chuan couldn’t tell how precious any of them were. He didn’t recognize any of them, and he was somewhat hesitant. This was because receiving treasures from others implied the formation of karma.
Seeing Meng Chuan hesitate, Hall Lord White Avian continued, “These three treasures are worth about 20 million cubes. You can’t buy them even if you wanted to.”
Meng Chuan looked at Hall Lord White Avian. Twenty million cubes? The three treasures are already s
o valuable. On average, each of them might exceed my Spacetime Token. I’ve never seen or heard of them before. How much has Ancestral Master Archean Eon accumulated in his life? Hall Master White Avian is personally giving me such a huge gift?
This was probably comparable to a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s lifetime wealth. Even if he had enough Outer Realm Essence Crystals, he probably wouldn’t be able to buy these three treasures.
“Do you have the guts to accept it?” Hall Lord White Avian looked at Meng Chuan.
“What do you need me to do?” asked Meng Chuan.
“I’ll tell you when I need you to do it. Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you,” said Hall Lord White Avian with a smile.
“You won’t make things difficult for me? I’ll accept it!” Meng Chuan knew very well that the better the treasures, the greater the karma. However, since Hall Lord White Avian dared to say that he wouldn’t make things difficult for him, Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate any further.
He immediately waved his hand and put away the three treasures. At the same time, he asked, “Hall Lord, may I know how to use these three treasures?”
“That fruit can be preserved for a long time. At the very least, it has a much longer lifespan than ours. Just eat it directly. It’s best you consume it before you transcend the seventh Heavenly Tribulation. You can study the other two items carefully. You will naturally learn of their usage,” said Hall Lord White Avian with a smile. “These three treasures are treasures from the Essence Soul lineage. They won’t be of much help to us Physical Body Tribulation Eminences.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. Rare treasures of the Essence Soul lineage?
An hour later, the meeting ended. Meng Chuan bade farewell and left.
“Hall Lord, these are the three treasures you obtained from roaming outside the universe. Are you just giving them to him?” asked Blazing Sun.
Hall Lord White Avian stood high up in the building and watched Meng Chuan leave White Avian Hall. He whispered, “Treasures of the Essence Soul lineage are useless to me.”
“I believe that with this, it will be enough for Origin Realm Chieftain to join White Avian Hall completely,” said Blazing Sun with a frown. The three treasures were worth 20 million cubes. Origin Realm Chieftain probably only had accumulated tens of millions of cubes his entire life. These three treasures were extremely tempting to Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
“In my eyes, Meng Chuan is more important.” Hall Lord White Avian looked into the distance. His eyes could see the future, so he long knew what kind of choice to make.
Chapter 686 - Getting Acquainted
Blazing Sun was somewhat puzzled when he heard that, while Azure Dragon was somewhat surprised.
The two of them knew that, as existences that grasped time and space, Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star could see through the fog of the future. There was no need to question their decisions. This was because others would discover that they were ultimately right as time passed. In front of such existences, the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences would be doomed if they were to oppose them.
The best way to prevent the future from being seen was to make themselves unresolvable.
For example, Origin Realm Chieftain’s many Essence Soul avatars could act separately. He could send his will anywhere in the universe, and he could self-destruct them at any time. This was an unresolvable problem!
For example, no matter how Meng Chuan was suppressed, he would ultimately reach that step!
In this era, only me, Myriad Star, and this Meng Chuan have a chance of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm. Although only one in over 100 half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences in history have a chance of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, there’s at least hope for Meng Chuan.
If Meng Chuan succeeds, he will be an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.
Hall Lord White Avian felt constant pain and torture from his Essence Soul. Even though he had the strength to suppress it at present, he felt powerless.
He tried so hard his entire life, but it was extremely difficult for him to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. Now, his chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm were even slimmer. He could only hope for external help to escape the pain and torture. He had ways to seek an audience with a few Eighth Tribulation Eminences of the Physical Body lineage, but he couldn’t meet any Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences!
Even though Meng Chuan’s chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm were very low, as long as there was hope, it was worth it for Hall Lord White Avian to place a bet. Giving Meng Chuan three treasures was equivalent to placing a bet for his future.
…
Three days later, Nebula Palace.
White Avian Hall’s third branch held a celebration to celebrate the addition of City Lord Eastcalm as a Patroller.
The scale of this celebration was grand. The core members of White Avian Hall gathered. The Hall Lord, two Deputy Hall Lords, three Librarians, five Patrollers, and the Deputy Patroller were all present. The White Avian Hall members who participated in the celebration felt that it was only right.
“Lord of the East Abyss.”
“Lord of Shadows.”
“Palace Lord Food God.” Meng Chuan was the busiest. He did not dare slight any of White Avian Hall’s top brass. Since the other party had specially come to attend the celebration, he couldn’t not entertain them. It would be an inhospitable act.
Apart from the three Seventh Tribulation Eminences, there were also people Meng Chuan naturally knew like the Patrollers, Mountain Lord Moxie, and Monarch Ape Fiend. It was rare for Lord of Shadowfiend and Apprentice to appear. They had come to participate in the celebrations out of goodwill. For example, when Lord of Avian Mountain became a Deputy Patroller, the main members of White Avian Hall’s third branch participated in the celebrations.
“Lord of Shadowfiend.” Meng Chuan chatted with Lord of Shadowfiend alone.
Lord of Shadowfiend was a shadow lifeform. It was difficult to see his appearance clearly. He didn’t even seem to exist as he sat there, keeping a low profile. He had once fought alongside Hall Lord White Avian. Now, his realm wasn’t inferior to a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s. But his body had yet to break through, so he had yet to transcend the seventh Heavenly Tribulation.
Many Physical Body Tribulation Eminences deliberately delayed their tribulation transcendence. This was because the longer they waited, the more insights they accumulated. This boosted their chances of transcending the tribulation.
“Seeing you makes me feel like I’m looking at Hall Lord back when he was young.” Lord Shadowfiend raised his cup and toasted Meng Chuan. Soon, Meng Chuan went to receive other Eminences.
“Second Brother, when are you transcending the tribulation to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm?” Hall Lord White Avian sat in the seat of honor. Lord of Shadowfiend sat beside him. “You always mention that fighting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence as a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence would bring greater pressure. However, you haven’t taken action in the past 10,000 years. Why haven’t you transcended the tribulation?”
“I’m not in a hurry, but you are.” Lord of Shadowfiend chuckled softly. “I’m still far from the end of my lifespan. It’s fine breaking through 10,000 years before that point.”
“Do it as soon as possible. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to withstand Myriad Star,” said Hall Lord White Avian softly. His voice only entered Lord of Shadowfiend’s ears.
Lord of Shadowfiend’s expression changed slightly as he looked at his friend. “You…”
“I’m no longer suited to fight prolonged battles.” Hall Lord White Avian nodded slightly. “Of course, Myriad Star can’t tell. Only Realm Ancestor and you know of my injuries in this River of Spacetime. I need help now.”
“Alright. I’ll break through in ten years. The heavenly tribulation will probably descend in a century or so.” Lord of Shadowfiend nodde
d solemnly. His good friend needed him again.
“Ten years?” Hall Lord White Avian looked at Lord of Shadowfiend. “Will it be too much of a rush? You mustn’t be careless when we are talking about a tribulation.”
“I’ve already figured out three Seventh Tribulation body formulations. I’m only trying to create stronger ones,” said Lord of Shadowfiend. “In the future, leave White Avian Hall’s troublesome matters to me. Don’t take action unless necessary.”
Hall Lord White Avian heaved a sigh of relief.
The three Librarians were only in a partnership with him. It was fine if they occasionally took action, but it was somewhat troublesome to deploy them frequently.
Apart from Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun and Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon, the only other person he could deploy at any time was his good friend, Lord of Shadowfiend. The relationship between the two of them had been established since they were weak.
Although thousands of members were gathered at the celebration, none of the other members could sense the conversation between Hall Lord White Avian and Lord of Shadowfiend.
As the star of this celebration, Meng Chuan’s surroundings were very lively.
Seventh Tribulation Eminences, half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences, peak Sixth Tribulation Eminences, and even some top Sixth Tribulation Eminences came to chat with him privately.
“Brother Eastcalm, congratulations.” Cang Li and Lady Feng Yu walked over side by side. Although they weren’t members of the third branch and hadn’t been invited to the celebration, as White Avian Hall members, they wouldn’t be stopped at the door if they took the initiative to come.
“Brother Cang Li, Lady Feng Yu.” Meng Chuan welcomed them. These two had spent some time with him in the Valley of Spacetime. Although he didn’t like Lady Feng Yu, Meng Chuan still thought highly of Cang Li.
“Speaking of which, Feng Yu and I used the Void Trileaf Flower earlier than you. However, we didn’t comprehend the spatial law, yet you did,” said Cang Li with a smile. “It made Feng Yu and I realize the difference.”
