Instead, those from the Essence Soul lineage had a higher chance of reaching the mountaintop.
According to what Meng Chuan knew, only a handful of people reached Fiend Mountain’s peak in every era.
If I obtain such a huge opportunity, I naturally have to give part of it to Fiend Mountain’s owner. Meng Chuan felt that Fiend Mountain’s owner’s request was reasonable.
Fiend Mountain’s owner had even taken the initiative to bestow benefits if one offered Purple and Gold mystic techniques. This showed his personality—Fiend Mountain’s owner could choose not to give anything. It was only right for Meng Chuan to pay him back with a mystic technique after obtaining the opportunity he offered.
If the mystic technique was brilliant enough, he even took the initiative to bestow more gifts. This filled Meng Chuan with curiosity toward Fiend Mountain’s owner.
…
In Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, Meng Chuan lived in seclusion in a valley as he pondered over the Eternal lecture.
No medium can contain this lecture? Meng Chuan sat in the study and attempted to write on an ancient stone slab. However, the words vanished as soon as he finished writing. It was as though an invisible law had prevented him from doing so. Meng Chuan pondered, For example, Eighth Tribulation Eminences can pass down legacies through special mediums, which typically have limited impartation chances. The Eternal lecture seems to have higher requirements.
I can’t even record the textual runes, yet Fiend Mountain’s owner could record the complete lecture? Meng Chuan sighed in amazement.
He listened to the lecture on the mountaintop, so he naturally had memories of it. However, it was extremely difficult to project the scene in his memories in the outside world. It was like an ant trying to carry a mountain—it was impossible to replicate it.
I can’t record it or reproduce it. Fiend Mountain’s owner also didn’t restrict me from spreading it. Meng Chuan gave up trying and began to study the lecture carefully.
The entire lecture consisted of 16,059 characters.
Every sentence had endless meanings. When the sentences were combined, they were even more profound.
Meng Chuan was completely immersed in it. His Essence Soul avatar—which was far away on Dry Origin Mountain—was also focused on studying it. After grasping the Painting Dao mystic technique—six-stroke runic seal—Meng Chuan was used to dissecting his target into six layers to comprehend any ultimate technique.
Meng Chuan only stopped studying the lecture after 320 years under Dry Origin Mountain’s time acceleration.
I’ve finally finished comprehending it. In Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World, six layers of paintings were formed. Each layer was an understanding of the lecture, and the six layers of paintings were completely different.
It’s only 16,059 characters. With my Essence Soul’s speed of comprehension and perception, I took 320 years to finish comprehending them. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. Given my current realm, I’ve comprehended everything I can. Next, I need to fuse the six-layered insights into one.
Meng Chuan familiarly combined them.
After grasping the six-stroke runic seal mystic technique, he had done the dissection and comprehension of matters before fusing them into one too many times.
In less than a year, a complete mystic technique appeared in Meng Chuan’s mind.
Hum.
The complete mystic technique had over 60,000 words. When Meng Chuan condensed a chapter in his Essence Soul World, the entire mystic technique chapter emitted a purple glow.
I’ve figured it out. Meng Chuan smiled.
The Eternal lecture focused on one’s willpower. The mystic technique one created based on it would also emit light from one’s mind.
The purple light was the level of the mystic technique Meng Chuan had comprehended.
After creating the mystic technique he had been studying all these years, Meng Chuan’s willpower had transformed. However, he still couldn’t withstand the evolution of the spacetime law. Clearly, an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence required terrifying willpower.
I really have to thank Fiend Mountain’s owner for greatly strengthening my willpower. I have to give him a copy of this mystic technique now. Meng Chuan searched for paper and other items and tried to record it down.
He realized that it was similarly difficult to record it down. In the end, he used a piece of Ice Wonder Jade—worth more than 10,000 cubes—as a medium to record the entire mystic technique. Furthermore, he felt that this piece of jade would collapse after learning it once.
I’ve never heard of such a willpower mystic technique before. I don’t know its exact value either, but after Fiend Mountain’s owner obtains it, he’s willing to give up to a billion cubes… The value of this mystic technique should exceed one billion cubes.
Meng Chuan knew that it was precious, but due to his limited horizons, he didn’t know its true value.
He was a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence of the Essence Soul lineage. At his realm, it was extremely difficult for his willpower to improve by even a tiny bit. However, this mystic technique allowed him to transform!
To an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, the improvement of their willpower meant an extended lifespan!
…
Deep in Fiend Mountain was an ancient cave abode.
As long as one accumulated 1,000 Sixth Tribulation Life Core fragments, 10 Seventh Tribulation Life Cores, or at least a Purple-grade mystic technique, they could come here to awaken Fiend Mountain’s owner. If one didn’t have enough treasures, they would be courting death if they dared to awaken Fiend Mountain’s owner.
“Senior Fiend Mountain,” shouted Meng Chuan as he stood in front of the ancient cave abode. He had taken the initiative to awaken Fiend Mountain’s owner.
As soon as he finished speaking—
The dark-red cave abode door slowly opened as Meng Chuan stepped in.
After walking for a moment, Meng Chuan saw a figure sitting cross-legged in front of him. His posture was identical to the Eternal existence on the mountaintop; it also had a similar charm.
His hair was curled as though there was an endless space hidden within it. His body—which was sitting cross-legged—seemed to be filled with endless pressure, making Meng Chuan feel pressured.
He was like a statue, motionless. However, the pressure he exerted on Meng Chuan was too great. Facing him, Meng Chuan was like an ant facing a celestial body! It was as though a single wave of energy could annihilate him.
Fiend Mountain’s owner gives me a terrifying feeling. In front of him, a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence can be annihilated with a thought. Meng Chuan understood this point.
Whoosh.
The seated figure slowly opened his eyes. The time flow within a ten-foot radius returned to normal.
Two pocket universes were hidden in his eyes. Meng Chuan was extremely certain of this when he saw Fiend Mountain’s owner. This was because at his realm, Fiend Mountain’s owner’s eyes had become even larger than Supreme Yang Stars.
Meng Chuan could clearly see stars in his eyes, and cultivators were flying in the cosmos.
His two eyes contain two pocket universes? And his hair—every strand of hair is an independent spacetime? Meng Chuan sensed the other party’s aura, but Fiend Mountain’s owner didn’t hide it.
“You’ve cultivated for 17,000 years, and you’re a half-step Eighth Tribulation realm of the Essence Soul lineage?” Fiend Mountain’s owner had a smile on his lips. His eyes were vast and unfathomable as he observed Meng Chuan; his voice was even gentler. “Furthermore, I can see one of your Essence Soul avatars in a distant spacetime. It emits a boundless Eternal aura.”

“To catch the eye of an Eternal existence before you reach the Eighth Tribulation realm is very rare,” said Fiend Mountain’s owner with a smile as he sat cross-legge
d. “But if you want to become a disciple of an Eternal existence in the endless spacetime, you have to be at the Eighth Tribulation realm at the very least. Therefore, the most important thing for you now is to transcend the eighth Heavenly Tribulation and become an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
“Senior Fiend Mountain, I totally agree.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“The physical body is real, and the Physical Body Tribulation also targets the body. The Essence Soul Tribulation is much more troublesome. There are much fewer Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences in the endless spacetime. Perhaps this is the rule set by the endless spacetime… Physical Body Tribulation Eminences can only have one avatar, while Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences can have nine avatars.” Fiend Mountain’s owner sighed and smiled at Meng Chuan. “I’m looking forward to our universe producing an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
“I also want to transcend the tribulation successfully, but my willpower is clearly far inferior. I don’t even have the right to transcend the tribulation,” said Meng Chuan.
“You still have plenty of time.” Fiend Mountain’s owner said leisurely, “Even if you become an Eternal existence’s disciple in the future, you can’t slack off. Many Eternal disciples are only at the ordinary Eighth Tribulation realm. For example, Daolord Evodia of our universe doesn’t seek to improve. He is obsessed with painting… Instead, many people who haven’t become disciples of Eternal existences have reached extremely profound realms. Of course, it’s different for an Eternal’s personal disciple. Their treasures far exceed those of us without any backers. They are slightly stronger than even Dragon Ancestor.”
Meng Chuan naturally knew this based on what Daolord Evodia had said. Personal disciples were also at the limit of the Eighth Tribulation realm. Furthermore, they could obtain an entire set of Eternal treasures tailored for them. Their strength was naturally terrifying.
“I don’t have to think too much about it for the time being. I’ll think about it after I reach the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan.
“The Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm requires extremely high willpower.” Fiend Mountain’s owner nodded. “By the way, why did you wake me up?”
“I walked to Fiend Mountain’s peak and listened to the Eternal lecture,” said Meng Chuan. “After studying it for years and figuring out a mystic technique, I specially came to give Senior Fiend Mountain a copy.”
“Oh?” Fiend Mountain’s owner smiled and said, “Show it to me.”
Meng Chuan handed it over with both hands.
The Ice Wonder Jade in his hand flew toward Fiend Mountain’s owner. It contained dense words that emitted a purple glow.
“A Purple-grade mind mystic technique.” Fiend Mountain’s owner smiled and nodded.
He had taken many paths in cultivation. One of them was to use the wisdom of all living beings to nourish his body. The Eternal lecture left behind on the mountaintop allowed several people to listen to it in every era. Typically, they had some insights.
Most of them were at the Colorless grade. Occasionally, there were people with high perceptivity when it came to willpower that could create a Purple-grade mystic technique. In history, he had even managed to come across two Gold-grade mystic techniques in his home universe.
The mystic techniques created by other cultivators could only be referenced; they couldn’t perfectly match one’s mind. However, it was ultimately useful to learn more. Fiend Mountain’s owner wasn’t talented when it came to willpower. Over the years, he had only figured out a Purple-grade mystic technique. However, he had learned many mystic techniques, including the two Gold-grade mystic techniques.
He had absorbed a lot of wisdom and finally created a Gold-grade mystic technique that suited him. After all, Fiend Mountain’s owner couldn’t bring himself to purchase a Gold-grade mystic technique just for reference.
Although his method took a long time, the cost was low.
To this day, he was still slowly gathering them. He wanted to gather enough mystic techniques to transform his mystic techniques completely and reach the legendary Rainbow grade. With this, he could become an Eternal existence’s disciple.
“You created a Purple-grade mystic technique with just over 10,000 years of cultivation. Not bad.” Fiend Mountain’s owner had seen his fair share of mystic techniques. With a thought, he had learned this mystic technique.
The Ice Wonder Jade turned to dust.
Although he had only learned the basics, Fiend Mountain’s owner felt that he had gained something.
“What do you want?” Fiend Mountain’s owner flipped his hand, and a thick book floated in his palm. “You can choose anything that doesn’t exceed one billion cubes from this book.”
A Purple-grade mystic technique bestowed a gift worth not more than one billion cubes.
A Gold-grade mystic technique bestowed not more than 100 billion cubes.
Fiend Mountain’s owner respected the crystallization of wisdom. The most important thing about using the wisdom of all living beings to nourish oneself was fairness. Otherwise, it would shake his cultivation foundation.
“Senior Fiend Mountain.” Meng Chuan didn’t take the book. Instead, he bowed. “I hope to exchange this gift for a request.”
“Request? Tell me about it,” said Fiend Mountain’s owner.
There were also differences in requests. If it was too big a request—one far exceeding a billion cubes—Fiend Mountain’s owner naturally wouldn’t care.
“I hope that Senior can kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.” Meng Chuan respectfully stated his request. “He is a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence in our era.”
“Celestial Thearch Myriad Star?” Fiend Mountain’s owner muttered softly.
At this moment, Fiend Mountain’s owner’s perception crossed spacetime and passed through the obstruction of Meng Chuan’s array formation. It landed on Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who was cultivating in his homeworld.
In an instant, Fiend Mountain’s owner saw Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s life experience clearly.
“Although I prefer bestowing treasures and not bullying the weak,” said Fiend Mountain’s owner with a smile as he looked at Meng Chuan, “I’m willing to cut you some slack and kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star at your request.”
Meng Chuan was overjoyed. “Thank you, Senior Fiend Mountain.”
“Let’s go outside his homeworld.” The moment Fiend Mountain’s owner said that—
Meng Chuan felt spacetime change.
He and Fiend Mountain’s owner had already arrived outside the homeworld.
The two stood side by side in the void.
“Do you need me to stop the array formation?” asked Meng Chuan.
Fiend Mountain’s owner stood by the side and smiled. “There’s no need.”
He stretched out his hand!
Whoosh!
His palm was vast, but it seemed illusory as it easily passed through the array formation. The operating isolation array formation didn’t sense the palm at all. Furthermore, even the world membrane in Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld remained intact, yet the massive palm had already reached in.
The palm was nearly as large as the world.
…
The path of cultivation is difficult. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat on his throne and coldly looked down at the world. His other true body was cultivating in seclusion.
Ever since Meng Chuan presided over the array formation, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star knew that he had an additional opponent other than Hall Lord White Avian—Meng Chuan.
He focused on cultivation, hoping to create his own body formulation. When the time came, he could storm out.
However…
The more he cultivated, the harder it was for him to advance. He didn’t gain anything for a long time, and it was indeed tormenting.
Previously, he had chosen to rely on a large number of treasures to forge his Eighth Tri
bulation path, but it was done out of no choice. This was because he felt that his chances of succeeding by relying on his own cultivation were too slim if he didn’t rely on external forces. Now, he was suppressed and forced to cultivate arduously.
Huh? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was astonished to see a vast hand sweep across the entire land and the hidden grotto-heaven.
Another Eighth Tribulation Eminence? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s scalp crawled as he was horrified. He wanted to resist, but the hand grabbed him this time!
Apart from Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, none of the living beings on the entire continent saw him. It didn’t affect them at all as they continued living their normal lives.
However, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s two bodies were pulled out at the same time.
…
Meng Chuan watched in shock as the hand reached into the inhabited world and scooped Myriad Star up.
Following that, Fiend Mountain’s owner stopped. The array formation and the inhabited world didn’t seem to be affected at all; it was as though they hadn’t been infiltrated at all.
“Take a look.” Fiend Mountain’s owner extended his palm. In his palm were two figures; they were Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s two true bodies. “He’s Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, right?”
The two tiny Celestial Thearch Myriad Stars looked up and saw two massive faces. One was Fiend Mountain’s owner, and the other was Meng Chuan.
“Meng Chuan…” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star immediately said.
“It’s him.” Meng Chuan nodded. They were indeed Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s two true bodies.
“As you wish.” Fiend Mountain’s owner extended his palm, and spacetime in his palm trembled. The two tiny Celestial Thearch Myriad Stars were completely annihilated with a poof, disappearing from this world.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, had died just like that.
Meng Chuan watched this scene. It was clearly his request, but he was still somewhat dazed when it actually happened. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who had wreaked havoc in this era—died just like that?
