“How much do you know about this cave abode?” Meng Chuan observed the cave abode. The cave abode’s array formation continued operating, enveloping the surroundings. Time was heartless.
If no one maintained the cave abode’s array formation, it would gradually be damaged over time.
The fact that the cave abode’s array formation was still operating meant that it hadn’t been long since it was established. At the very least, it wasn’t a cave abode from a million years ago.
“I don’t know much. I only know that when my Essence Soul avatar explores the cave abode, the area outside is very calm. Upon entry, the calm cave abode will suddenly release sword beams. I couldn’t dodge them at all,” said Supremacy Qing Gu. “As for what the other Supremacies have explored, I’m not sure. Only Fang Chang placed a mark on each Supremacy, allowing him to pry into everything they saw.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly. With a fourth-level Essence Soul, one could consume a tiny amount of their Essence Soul to form a mark on others. This mark could be activated at critical moments. When one attained a sixth-level Essence Soul, one’s Essence Soul thought could attach itself to a person, allowing them to observe the target’s surroundings.
“Okay.” Meng Chuan nodded gently. “It looks like your exploration range was very small. It’s no wonder you wanted to capture other Supremacies and continue probing.”
“That’s right. This cave abode is very terrifying.” Supremacy Qing Gu nodded. “Fang Chang wasn’t confident either. Although he had reached the Heaven Earth realm, he only had a sixth-level Essence Soul. He only had one Essence Soul avatar. If his Essence Soul avatar died while exploring, it would have taken him several years to recover.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Investigate the surroundings carefully. Guard the area well. Leave the exploration of the cave abode to
me.”
Supremacy Qing Gu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes.” Thankfully, the expert he followed still had a sense of pity. If Meng Chuan had forced his true body to enter, he would most likely have died in the cave abode.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on a short mountain peak. He could see the cave abode below him, but an array formation protected it. It was difficult to see through the array formation.
Blood Yang Realm’s Fang Chang is quite wealthy. Meng Chuan had previously stored Fang Chang’s corpse into a Grotto-Heaven treasure. After such a long period of time, he had already sent his Essence Soul avatar to investigate the corpse carefully.
He had two Tribulation treasures. One is a short gray spear, and the other is the purple robe on his body. Unfortunately, they are all of the water lineage. If I want to make use of them, I have to exchange them for a lightning lineage Tribulation treasure.
Blood Yang Realm was a middle-level world. Since Fang Chang had reached the Heaven and Earth realm, Blood Yang Realm should have bestowed him with a Tribulation treasure. This was something many middle-level worlds did.
One Tribulation treasure had been bestowed to him by Blood Yang Realm’s experts. The other Tribulation treasure was something he obtained after all these years of traveling the outer realm.
There are also three Imperial Lord-level treasures. There are also two single-use treasures. He should’ve used the Life Substitute Talisman when I shattered his Essence Soul the first time. What a pity. It’s equivalent to a weaker Tribulation treasure.
According to the intelligence recorded in Archean Eon Realm, the outer realm life-preservation item-Life Substitute Talisman-was relatively common. It was equivalent to a Third Tribulation treasure. It was far inferior to the Void Transference Talisman. This was because the Life Substitute Talisman could only allow one to recover to their peak state instantly. During a dire situation, an enemy could kill them a second time!
A Void Transference Talisman was different. Even if one was within a world with life, they would be instantly teleported to any spot in the world despite the worldly laws’ suppression. In the outer realm, there was no suppression from the worldly laws. Because of this, a Void Transference Talisman could teleport someone extremely far away instantly. It could even allow a person to escape far away from a Tribulation Eminence, allowing the user to shake off their enemies completely.
In terms of value, a single Void Transference Talisman was equivalent to a Sixth Tribulation treasure. It was hard to find.
Even with Archean Eon Realm’s rich heritage, there had been only one remaining Void Transference Talisman in the current era. Furthermore, it had been used up. Even with the Demon Realm’s heritage, the three Imperial Lords needed to work together to exchange for a single Void Transference Talisman from the Demon Ancestral Cave.
What weapon should I give my Essence Soul avatar when it explores the cave abode? I can only exert more strength when I have a weapon. This shall be it. Meng Chuan made his decision.
A dark Meng Chuan suddenly flew out of his seated body and into the distant cave abode.
A seventh-level Essence Soul avatar. Supremacy Qing Gu—who was in charge of guarding the area—couldn’t help but sigh in amazement when he saw Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar. Supremacy Eastcalm has reached the Heaven Earth realm; he has also attained a seventh-level Essence Soul. Why isn’t he an Imperial Lord yet? Does he want to cultivate a special technique and use it to reach the Imperial Lord realm?
He could only guess silently, not daring to mutter his speculations out loud.
Swoosh. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar arrived at the cave abode’s entrance.
The cave abode’s array formation was vast and profound, but its might was restrained. There was no danger superficially, but the main entrance had already closed.
Boom!
The dark Meng Chuan casually threw Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence—which shimmered with lightning-and a silver metal piece. He used the Infinite Saber Art and transformed into a terrifying light beam, striking the entrance of the cave abode. After the door was blasted open, the silver metal piece flew back into Meng Chuan’s hand.
It’s a White Star Ore after all.
Yes. Meng Chuan had sent his Essence Soul avatar to probe the cave abode with the White Star Ore as its weapon. Since he was prepared to lose his Essence Soul avatar, he naturally couldn’t bear to let it carry a good weapon. He couldn’t even bear to let it use an Imperial Lord-level weapon! He was afraid that he would lose it and not be able to retrieve it.
As for weaker weapons? They were inferior to the White Star Ore!
Meng Chuan’s Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence carried the White Star Ore. Its strength was quite good. The White Star Ore was famous for its hardness. It was a material used to refine Tribulation treasures. However, a five-kilometer-wide White Star Ore was equivalent to a Third Tribulation treasure. If it was just one piece? Meng Chuan had obtained a thousand-foot-tall White Star Ore hill from Fang Chang’s corpse.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A total of 99 White Star Ores were enveloped in Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence as they circled the dark Meng Chuan.
The dark Meng Chuan arrived at the main entrance.
After entering, fog filled the area. It was impossible to see through it with the naked eye. Even with a domain, it was also difficult to see through it. Even Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul perception domain was unable to see through it.
Buzz!
Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar stood at the edge of the main door. He released an Astral Wave, letting it spread out in all directions. It barely affected the surrounding hundred feet before being suppressed.
It can suppress the Power of Essence Soul? Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed. It’s indeed a cave abode of a Tribulation Eminence.
Swoosh.
With a thought, Meng Chuan immediately enveloped one of the floating White Star Ores with his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence. It transformed into a stream of light and shot it into the distance. However, when it touched the white fog, the high-speed White Star Ore produced sizzling sounds. The Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence on its surface eroded away in the blink of an eye, but the White Star Ore flew fast enough and struck something.
At the end of the day, I still have to enter the cave abode. Meng Chuan continued standing at the edge as lightning flashed around him. The flow of time around him also changed, speeding up by twenty-fold. After creating his paramount technique, Meng Chuan’s understanding of the spacetime lineage had surpassed what his divine power, Flowing Sand, could do. Meng Chuan could change time with his saber art. He could do the same with lightning.
Swoosh.
At the same time, Meng Chuan executed the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. His Essence Soul avatar was faster and more agile than his true body. However, its defense was much weaker. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar rushed into the cave abode, the silent cave abode seemed to awaken. A large number of sword beams erupted and rushed towards Meng Chuan.
What a powerful array formation. I can’t enter the deep void. Fortunately, my movement technique has lots of variations. With the changed time flow, it’s not too difficult to dodge them. As Meng Chuan thought this, he advanced at high speeds.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Nobody controlled these sword beams; thus, they had somewhat stiff movements. Due to the changed time flow, Meng Chuan’s agility was comparable to an Imperial Lord. He dodged the numerous sword beams.
It’s strange. My speed is very astonishing. However, why haven’t I seen any buildings after flying for so long? Meng Chuan was puzzled. This cave abode is only 50 kilometers wide.
Meng Chuan immediately guessed. A void array formation. The void here has been changed. No matter how I fly, I probably won’t be able to leave this small, confined area. Thus I must-tear apart! With a thought, 30 White Star Ores—which had been floating around him-executed the Infinite Saber Art, transforming into terrifying streams of light that struck the surroundings.
After the White Star Ores flew out, the area remained silent, just like the boundless void.
I’m trapped here? Meng Chuan flew back the way he came. The white fog enveloped him, making him unable to find the cave abode’s entrance.
The sword beams stopped for a moment.
Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar was trapped in the white fog. He tried his best, but he failed to touch anything. He was unable to escape the area.
My Quintessential Essence is exhausted. Forget it. With a thought, Meng Chuan could only dissipate the Essence Soul avatar.
On a short mountain peak far away from the cave abode, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged.
The main entrance is the easiest to enter, but it’s a trap. After entering, one will be trapped in the void cage forever. As for the weaker ones, they will be killed by the sword beams. I can’t even discover anything unique about the void cage.
It will take me three days to recover from my Essence Soul avatar’s death. I have plenty of time.
For an expert with a sixth-level Essence Soul, it would take their Essence Soul several years to recover from their Essence Soul avatar’s death.
An expert with a seventh-level Essence Soul could have up to nine Essence Soul avatars simultaneously. However, to create up to nine of them, each Essence Soul avatar contained a lesser amount of Essence Soul Origins. Thus, when one of these Essence Soul avatars died, one would only need a few months to recover.
Meng Chuan had also obtained the Essence Soul Star legacy. His Essence Soul had astonishing recovery speed; thus, he could recover from the loss in three days!
I’ll try the front entrance, back entrance, courtyard wall, and the top of the cave abode… In a year, I can send over 100 Essence Soul avatars. I don’t believe that an ownerless cave abode can stop me.
