Archean Eon Art - Chapter 652

Chapter 652 Calamity?

Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished when he heard that.

The reason why he had forcefully rejected the demand was that he was prepared to fall out with Fiend Eye. Once he did so, his Essence Soul avatar in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm would teleport everyone from Archean Eon Realm back to their homeworld. Meng Chuan had made arrangements for his grandson, Meng Yu

—who had long reached the Imperial Lord realm. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be easy for Fiend Eye to find Earth Cloud Mystic Realm without the karmic connection as long as he left Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.

Every mystic realm was created by an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Seventh Tribulation Eminences needed luck to find a mystic realm. Many mystic realms in the River of Spacetime still remained ownerless. Even if people knew that they were in a certain region, they couldn’t find them.

Furthermore, Earth Cloud Mystic Realm was hidden by Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s array.

As for himself? Once they fell out, Meng Chuan would naturally use all his resources to grasp the spatial law as soon as possible.

My words… ended up changing the other party’s mind?

“You have quite a deep understanding of the spatial law. I do think highly of you,” said Fiend Eye with a smile. “Therefore, name a price. I’m willing to buy the opportunity that Fiend Mountain’s owner gave you. I’m not taking advantage of you. Fiend Mountain’s owner’s personality is much more fiendish than mine. The opportunities he gives you for free are a combination of fortune and disaster.”

Meng Chuan looked at him. Name a price? There are many resources that I want, but they are all monopolized by Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

“I want to cultivate on Clear Spring Island,” said Meng Chuan. “I want to exchange this opportunity for cultivation time on Clear Spring Island. I won’t be excessive. A hundred years will do.”

“Clear Spring Island?” Fiend Eye looked at Meng Chuan carefully. “You sure are bold.” “A hundred years is enough.” Meng Chuan didn’t dare ask for too much.

Of course, he wanted to cultivate there. Clear Spring Island was the most mysterious cultivation ground in the River of Spacetime. It was originally a mysterious spring that had been born in the void. The spring spanned only 50 kilometers. An Eighth Tribulation Eminence later discovered this place and set up an island. There were only 18 cave abodes on the island.

Only 18 living beings were allowed to cultivate on Clear Spring Island at a time because the other cultivators would be affected once there were more than 18 living beings there.

There were more than 20 Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime, so the competition was naturally intense. As for Fiend Eye, he had undoubtedly taken one of the cave abodes for himself long ago. According to legend, cultivating on Clear Spring Island was extremely beneficial to newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminences. It was much less helpful to peak Seventh Tribulation Eminences. It was of even lesser help to Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. Therefore, some cave abode possessors were willing to give the opportunity to other Seventh Tribulation Eminences. Of course, the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences had to pay a sufficient price.

Some were used by half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. If people used it for 100 years or 200 years…

Very few ordinary Seventh Tribulation Eminences gave up their cave abodes. The ones willing to give up their cave abodes were the few top Seventh Tribulation Eminences. For example, Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star left these resources to their own factions. People could use credits to exchange for cultivation time. The cave abodes were almost monopolized by the half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences—who contributed greatly to White Avian Hall. Ordinary members had no hope of heading there.

“Alright.” Fiend Eye nodded. “However, you have to wait another 80 years. One of my clansmen is cultivating there. In 80 years, I’ll give you a Clear Spring Token, and you’ll be able to head there.” Fiend Eye suddenly smiled strangely. “The time you will spend cultivating there won’t be 100 years, but 300 years…”

“Three hundred years?” Meng Chuan was originally quite satisfied with this transaction. He wanted to exchange a fortuitous encounter that could spell both fortune and disaster for a tangible benefit. However, the other party suddenly took the initiative to give him 300 years of cultivation time on Clear Spring Island. This left Meng Chuan somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t even dare agree to it personally. “I’ve already said that I think highly of you. Since I think highly of you, I naturally wish to form a good relationship with you,” said Fiend Eye casually. “Do you agree to this transaction? If you do, quickly hand me the method to enter the Land of Foulbone.”

“I agree.” Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate at all. Meng Chuan naturally accepted the deal that didn’t have any harsh requirements.

On the path of cultivation, Meng Chuan had long set a rule: he had to cultivate with all his might. He couldn’t slack off at all. Therefore, he had to seize any huge opportunities that came his way.

If he slacked off a little once or twice, he would probably have no hope of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm if it continued. No matter how talented he was, he would probably have no hope of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm.

None of the peak experts in the River of Spacetime dared to relax their requirements unless they felt that their cultivation was hopeless and began to give up.

Whoosh.

With a flip of his hand, Meng Chuan condensed his Quintessential Essence into a crystal. The crystal contained the method to enter the Land of Foulbone.

“The entry method for the Land of Foulbone is in here.” Meng Chuan threw the crystal over.

Fiend Eye received it and probed it. To him, the cultivation resources that were useful to him in the River of Spacetime were dwindling. Fiend Mountain’s owner was ultimately an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. The opportunities he left behind might be of some help.

“Alright. In 80 years, the Clear Spring Token will be sent to Three Bay River System’s Eastcalm City.” After Fiend Eye said that, he vanished into thin air.

Form a good relationship with me? That’s why I got the benefit of cultivating on Clear Spring Island for 300 years? Meng Chuan stood rooted to the ground, still somewhat surprised. This Guild Master Fiend Eye sure has fiendish tendencies.

He originally thought it was a tribulation, but it turned into an opportunity.

In the gray fog-filled void.

As Fiend Eye walked through the void, he pondered. When observing a true Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s future when they are still at the Sixth Tribulation realm… only a portion of the future will show them reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm.

Previously, I wanted to kill all of Meng Chuan’s avatars in the outside world and suppress him greatly. Yet, he reached the Seventh Tribulation Realm in all the future timelines that I saw. He also isn’t just an ordinary Seventh Tribulation Eminence in those timelines. I suspect that almost half of those timelines have him at the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm.

Such potential is truly astonishing. Perhaps only the young Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star can compare.

Fiend Eye had to admit this. Although the current Seventh Tribulation Eminences were very impressive, Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star far exceeded the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences in terms of growth trajectories. Now, he felt that Meng Chuan had the potential to match the two of them.

He might even become a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence or even reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. Fiend Eye pondered. On this path of cultivation, it’s also very important to form good karma other than cultivating on your own.

Fiend Eye had once stood at the peak of the River of Spacetime. He had once traveled beyond the universe and had vast knowledge. He knew that there was a cultivator in another universe named Xi Gu. He had good judgment. When he was still at the Fifth Tribulation realm, he was dedicated to serving a mysterious person from a young age until he was an old man.

He kept serving the mysterious person without any regrets. Later, he learned that the mysterious person was an Eternal existence. Before the Eternal existence left, he extended Xi Gu’s lifespan and gave him a legacy and a personal lecture. After many years of cultivation, Xi Gu finally became an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

There were several similar legends.

I don’t dare hope for an Eternal existence. As long as I can form a good relationship with an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, it will be infinitely beneficial. This is my first time meeting him. I have plenty of time in the future.

Fiend Eye was too old. His confidence in becoming a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence was dropping. Therefore, he placed great importance on anyone with potential. As for Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, they were in their prime. They only had one goal—to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.

After experiencing the mild conflict with Fiend Eye, Meng Chuan continued walking slowly on Fiend Mountain. After the path of epiphany and the path of the mind merged, there were indeed some changes.

The clarity of the voice on the mountaintop increased a little, but Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul had become much more ethereal. His understanding of the intonations greatly improved. It helped him comprehend the intonations.

As my willpower becomes stronger, it becomes even harder for it to metamorphose. Meng Chuan also discovered this point. Ever since he returned to Fiend Mountain, he had traversed more than 25,000 kilometers on the path of the mind. Yet, his mind and will hadn’t transformed at all.

Perhaps it’s because the pressure on my willpower is still too low, guessed Meng Chuan.

Time passed.

Meng Chuan walked step by step as he carefully experienced the sound’s effects on his Essence Soul. Gradually, the sound placed sufficient pressure on his Essence Soul.

28,000 kilometers, 28,500 kilometers, 29,000 kilometers, 29,500 kilometers…

The pressure increased. Meng Chuan became even more thrilled. Every intonation struck his Essence Soul fiercely, causing it to tremble and rumble. This allowed Meng Chuan to discover the weaknesses in his Essence Soul structure clearly. He also knew which parts of his willpower were lacking.

Very good. This is the way; the greater the pressure, the greater the impact. Meng Chuan could clearly see his flaws. He carefully pondered over them.

Unknowingly, the immense pressure caused Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness to rumble. He was about to reach his limits.

Myriad Tribulations Star.

The outer layer of Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul was a liquid layer, while the inner layer was a star.

The inner star was derived from the Essence Soul Star legacy’s profundities. Meng Chuan gained a brand new understanding of the Essence Soul Star. The intonations were like a calamity. Sometimes, a calamity wasn’t an obstacle but a tremendous opportunity.

With some changes to his Essence Soul structure, Meng Chuan’s willpower became more condensed and powerful.

This was the first transformation Meng Chuan had undergone on his journey on Fiend Mountain. At this moment, he had traveled a distance of 31,000 kilometers.
