  This cave abode was beside Fool Mountain Realm. A vast array formation protected Fool Mountain Realm and also concealed the cave abode.

  “The other Eighth Tribulation Eminences won’t be able to spy on us here,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace with a smile.

  The two of them came to a garden in the cave abode.

  Perfected Lord Crimson Peace flicked his sleeve, and rare fruits and wine appeared on the tables. “Have a seat.”

  “Perfected Lord, you just said ‘another Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence has been born in our universe.’ Not counting me who has just crossed the threshold, I wonder how many have been born in the past?” Meng Chuan poured himself a cup of alcohol and inquired.

  He was rather curious. In fact, he could roughly guess the number of Eighth Tribulation Eminences of the Essence Soul lineage from the Physical Body lineage ratio to the Essence Soul lineage at the Seventh Tribulation realm.

  “Three.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace said, “One is a unique special lifeform named Palace Lady Peacock. She has no attachments and has long left our universe to roam the endless spacetime.”

  Upon hearing Palace Lady Peacock’s name, Meng Chuan vaguely sensed an existence.

  A woman with gorgeous feathers was sitting on a palatial throne. She was giving a lecture, and many living beings were listening to her.

  The peacock woman’s eyes were purple as she looked up at Meng Chuan.

  Meng Chuan looked at her, and she likewise looked at Meng Chuan.

  “I look forward to meeting you, Fellow Daoist.” An invisible thought came with good intentions.

  Following that, the connection between the two parties was severed.

  “Palace Lady Peacock has the most benevolent personality,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. “However, she’s also very curious about the endless spacetime. Perhaps she thinks that our home universe isn’t attractive to her. Her true body and many Essence Soul avatars will head to different spacetimes and travel everywhere.”

  Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

  “There’s also the Lord of Truth,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace.

  Meng Chuan immediately sensed the existence.

  Outside his home universe, in a distant spacetime, countless living beings were shouting Lord of Truth’s name fervently. Countless living beings lived in Lord of Truth’s Essence Soul universe.

  At that moment, Lord of Truth was dressed in a black robe as he looked at Meng Chuan. Lord of Truth’s eyes contained terrifying magical power as he exchanged looks with Meng Chuan.

  If he were a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, his consciousness would probably be distorted. But when Lord of Truth saw Meng Chuan, he didn’t attack because he could sense that Meng Chuan was an existence at the same level.

  “Another peer from my home universe. Unfortunately, with Dragon Ancestor around, you have to abide by his rules.” Lord of Truth sent a thought, but Meng Chuan didn’t reply.

  Perfected Lord Crimson Peace sat there and continued, “Lord of Truth once wanted to control the hearts and minds of all living beings in the universe. He wanted to make his home universe his own. This made Dragon Ancestor personally kill many of Lord of Truth’s avatars in a rage. This happened across multiple layers of spacetime, but he had long befriended an Eternal existence’s disciple and prepared a retreat route. That was why he dared to act recklessly in our home universe. Therefore, Dragon Ancestor couldn’t kill him completely.”

  Control all living beings in the universe? Meng Chuan was secretly astonished.

  In terms of ability to cause trouble, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was indeed far inferior to Lord of Truth, who was at the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm. Furthermore, Lord of Truth clearly had a backup plan.

  “The only remaining one in our universe now, excluding you, is Mountain Lord of Plum Blossom,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace.

  Meng Chuan also ‘saw’ him.

  In a plum blossom mountain forest, an elder was sleeping soundly.

  Just sensing this scene made him lose his senses.

  “There are only three Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences, but only one has chosen to live in our home universe permanently.” Meng Chuan sighed before asking, “Perfected Lord, do you know what the eighth Essence Soul Tribulation is?”

  He was most concerned about intelligence regarding the Tribulation Transcendence.

  “I’m not sure,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. “I’ve only heard that the Heavenly Tribulation transcended by an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence is different. If you want to obtain detailed information, I estimate that in our universe, Daolord Evodia and Dragon Ancestor know the most.

  “Daolord Evodia is an Eternal’s disciple; he has a special status in our universe. His horizons are broad, and he has extremely rich intelligence. Dragon Ancestor has cultivated to the limits of the Eighth Tribulation realm, and he has a wide network of friends, so he definitely has some understanding of the eighth Essence Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

  “Daolord Evodia does whatever he wants; it’s really quite difficult to meet him. However, Dragon Ancestor takes very good care of the Eighth Tribulation Eminences in our universe. Before you transcend the tribulation, Dragon Ancestor should descend once and meet you personally.”

  “Dragon Ancestor will personally meet me?” Meng Chuan was astonished.

  “Every Eighth Tribulation Eminence typically sees Dragon Ancestor before transcending the tribulation,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. “Dragon Ancestor will give us opportunities to increase our chances of transcending the tribulation. When the time comes, you can ask Dragon Ancestor about the tribulation.”

  “Understood.” Meng Chuan was somewhat impressed.

  Dragon Ancestor’s Nine Trials Pagoda was a gift to talented people in his home universe. He would also personally descend and give every person that was about to transcend the eighth Heavenly Tribulation opportunities to increase their chances of transcending the tribulation.

  In fact, there was no need for Dragon Ancestor to do so since he had reached the limits of the Eighth Tribulation realm. However, Meng Chuan was very impressed by how he took care of his home universe’s cultivators.

  “Eastcalm.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace put down his cup and said, “I invited you here for a special spacetime.”

  “A special spacetime?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.

  “Yes.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace nodded. “It’s a massive, chaotic universe. Due to the laws, it’s much larger than our home universe. It’s chaotic and doesn’t resist outsiders. I obtained an opportunity, and my outer realm true body has been fighting in that universe for many years. It has already become one of the 12 Chaos Gods.

  “I’d like to invite you to send an Essence Soul avatar over to that universe to help me after you transcend the tribulation. As long as you are willing, I’m confident that an Essence Soul avatar of yours will become a Chaos God there.

  “The benefits of becoming a Chaos God are much greater than having an Eternal treasure,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. “When you transcend the tribulation successfully, I believe many people will invite you to travel the endless spacetime together. However, the conditions I can offer are definitely in the top three.”

  Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was somewhat confident in his opportunities before he came to invite an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

  He had operated that universe for a long time. It was where he had the confidence to become a top Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

  “Another larger universe, a Chaos God?” Meng Chuan pondered for a moment and smiled. “Perfected Lord, I can send an Essence Soul avatar to take a trip after I transcend the tribulation and consolidate my strength. However, I can’t be sure whether it will also become a Chaos God.”

  He had nine Essence Soul avatars, so it wasn’t difficult for him to send one over. Furthermore, he could disperse his Essence Soul avatars with a thought.

&
nbsp; “Then, it’s a deal.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was somewhat excited and expectant. There were too few Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences. It was also very difficult to get an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence to help.

  “Definitely,” promised Meng Chuan. “However, I have to transcend the tribulation first and arrange everything.”

  “No rush, no rush. Even if it’s a million years, I’m not in a hurry.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was patient.

  Meng Chuan nodded.

  His plan was that he would definitely become an Eternal existence’s disciple first if he succeeded in transcending the tribulation. After that, he would naturally have time to roam the outside world…..

  Chapter 755 - Dragon Ancestor's Obstruction

  Translator: CKtalon

  It was rare for Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences to rush over to Three Bay River System’s Thousand Mountain Star.

  “I never expected a mighty existence like City Lord Eastcalm to appear in our era.” The black stone golem, Guild Master Darkstar, had a proud look on his face as he sighed. “He’s already an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. As long as he transcends the tribulation successfully, he will be affecting the entire River of Spacetime for countless generations to come.”

  “Darkstar, I really admire you,” said Manor Lord Centaurea with a smile. “You are flexible. You offended City Lord Eastcalm back then, yet you obtained his forgiveness.”

  “That’s because City Lord Eastcalm is benevolent.” Darkstar thought nothing of it. What was there to be ashamed of by humbly begging City Lord Eastcalm for forgiveness?

  That was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence! It wouldn’t be easy for Seventh Tribulation Eminences to meet him in the future.

  “City Lord Eastcalm is extremely talented. It’s our era’s blessing to have him appear in this era,” said Yellow-Robed Academy Lord with a smile.

  Dozens of Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences had gathered in this void.

  Outsiders couldn’t go to White Avian Hall without permission. Therefore, all the Eminences came to Thousand Mountain Star directly!

  Thousand Mountain Star was City Lord Eastcalm’s publicly known cave abode. Even if City Lord Eastcalm wasn’t around for the time being, City Lord Eastcalm could naturally sense their arrival at his realm.

  If he wanted to meet them, he would naturally summon them. If he didn’t want to meet them, they could only leave.

  “Fiend Eye is here.”

  The Eminences saw Fiend Eye—who was like a meatball—walk through the void with his short legs; he couldn’t hide his smile.

  Everyone knew that Fiend Eye and City Lord Eastcalm had an extraordinary relationship. At that moment, they were filled with envy and jealousy.

  “Look at how smug Fiend Eye is.”

  “He was lucky to meet City Lord Eastcalm when he was weak.”

  “Realm Ancestor is the same. I heard that he managed to fish City Lord Eastcalm before City Lord Eastcalm reached the Sixth Tribulation realm and formed an affinity with him.”

  The Eminences discussed.

  “Our luck isn’t bad either. City Lord Eastcalm is from the same generation as us, and we can be considered as having some ties with him. In the future, it will be countless times harder for those juniors to meet an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.” These Eminences knew very well that it was fate to have someone from the same generation reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.

  They naturally had to grasp the opportunity. Although City Lord Eastcalm had yet to transcend the tribulation, it was precisely because he hadn’t transcended the tribulation that the probability of meeting him was higher.

  Sucking up to Meng Chuan would be too late if they waited until Meng Chuan transcended the tribulation.

  Hum!

  Spacetime distorted.

  Dozens of Eminences saw a spacetime tunnel appear in front of them—it led deep into Thousand Mountain Star.

  “Let’s go.”

  “Let’s rush over to pay our respects.” The Eminences flew over together, but they naturally separated after flying through the spacetime tunnel.

  Manor Lord Centaurea could no longer see his companions. He flew through the spacetime tunnel and arrived at a garden.

  A black-robed, white-haired man was sitting there and reading a book.

  “Greetings, City Lord Eastcalm,” said Manor Lord Centaurea while bowing. He was extremely humble because he felt his mind sway when he saw Meng Chuan. It was difficult for him to control himself, and this was under the circumstances of Meng Chuan not deliberately using any moves. If he had used any moves, a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s mind would’ve been warped. They would’ve obediently allowed him to control them.

  “Manor Lord Centaurea.” Meng Chuan smiled at him.

  “I heard that City Lord Eastcalm has become an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence and is about to face the Heavenly Tribulation. I am lucky to be in the same era as City Lord Eastcalm; it’s also my good fortune. I once obtained an Essence Soul lineage treasure and specially came to offer it to City Lord. I wish you success in transcending the tribulation.” With a flip of his hand, an illusory book appeared in front of him.

  This was Manor Lord Centaurea’s greatest treasure he chanced upon. But now, he offered it without any hesitation!

  If Meng Chuan succeeded in transcending the tribulation, he probably wouldn’t think much of this treasure. If he were to offer it before transcending the tribulation, the karma generated would be immense. Even if it didn’t help much, Meng Chuan probably wouldn’t reject a treasure before transcending the tribulation.

  “Oh?” When Meng Chuan saw the illusory book, he vaguely felt that it was extraordinary.

  The book flew to Meng Chuan, and he reached out to take it.

  After a slight scan—

  This is? Meng Chuan was rather surprised. He didn’t think much of the book, but he never expected to encounter a huge surprise.

  Although Manor Lord Centaurea’s treasure wasn’t comparable to an Eternal treasure, it wasn’t inferior to legacy treasures like Black Fiend Hall and Nightmare Hall. To Meng Chuan, this treasure was even more important.

  Book of the World. Meng Chuan looked at the book.

  This book was called ‘Book of the World.’ As long as one’s realm was high enough and could set the rules, the treasure would transform into an illusory world according to the rules.

  The more detailed and perfect the laws were, the more powerful the illusory world would be.

  Although it’s only a simulated illusory world and unlike a real universe, creating a real universe requires one to be at the limits of the Eighth Tribulation realm. The evolution of the universe takes a long time. As for this illusory world… since it’s illusory, one can easily adjust the time flow within it. This treasure isn’t as valuable as an Eternal treasure, but it surpasses Meng Sha Realm’s treasures. Meng Chuan never expected to receive such a huge gift when meeting the Eminences of his generation.

  “This gift of yours is really nice.” Meng Chuan looked at Centaurea Manor Lord.

  Manor Lord Centaurea smiled and said, “It’s impossible to use such a treasure with my low strength. Only when one is at a higher realm can a superior illusory world be produced. This treasure can only be of use in your hands, City Lord Eastcalm.”

  “What do you want?” asked Meng Chuan.

  “A chance to transcend and become an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.” Manor Lord Centaurea looked at Meng Chuan.

  He had offered his most precious treasure in exchange for an opportunity.

  This was because he was destined to inch toward death if he didn’t receive any special opportunities after cultivating to his level.

  He knew… that there were all sorts of possibilities in the endless spacetime. An Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence could still find a chance to help him.

  Meng Chuan looked at the bo
ok in his hand and said, “I can’t promise you that, but I’ll do my best to help you if I transcend the tribulation successfully.”

  “City Lord, this promise is enough.” Manor Lord Centaurea knew very well that he couldn’t seek the help of a true Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence with this treasure. He couldn’t even meet them.

  Meng Chuan only gave such a promise before transcending the tribulation.

  Even if it was just a chance to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, it wasn’t something easily obtainable.

  …

  With a thought, Meng Chuan formed an illusory world. At the same time, he met many Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. Of course, he only met them as embodiments.

  Book of the World. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement.

  When Eminences from the same era visited, all of them offered gifts.

  The only thing that truly amazed Meng Chuan was the book. With his current insights, he didn’t think much of the other treasures. All he could do was store them in Archean Eon Realm and enrichen its heritage.

  Since he was willing to accept them, it meant that they had a connection.

  After all, they were Eminences from the same era. Meng Chuan still had to cut them some slack.

  …

  While Meng Chuan received the various Eminences of the same era on Thousand Mountain Star, in an area in his home universe—

  Whoosh.

  A tall, thin figure with two curved horns appeared in this area. He looked at Meng Chuan—who was receiving all the Eminences on Thousand Mountain Star.

  “Black Fiend.” A voice sounded.

  The lanky figure frowned slightly. He looked up and saw a dragon-headed elder dressed in a gorgeous black robe appear.

  The dragon-headed elder’s eyes were vast, and his aura affected the surrounding laws. The laws in his home universe had been forced to retreat. The place he was in had become his territory in the absolute sense.
