Archean Eon Art - Chapter 630

Chapter 630 Opportunity and Orders

“Jump out of the River of Time to return to the past or head to the future?” Meng Chuan muttered to himself. He still didn’t have the right to probe the treasures and dossiers left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon.

There were very few records regarding Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

From Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s point of view, understanding the Eighth Tribulation realm was clearly meaningless for someone who hadn’t even reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.

“The past has already happened, so it naturally can’t be changed,” said Realm Ancestor. “The so-called returning to the past is simply being a bystander. For example, one can watch the birth of the Universe and the history of some dead Eighth Tribulation Eminences.”

“Dead Eighth Tribulation Eminences?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.

“A living Eighth Tribulation Eminence controls their past and future. They will completely jump out of the River of Spacetime, so others will not be able to see his past,” said Realm Ancestor. “Once they die, there will be no future. They will also completely land in the River of Spacetime. We can naturally pry into their past then. Of course, us Seventh Tribulation Eminences can’t return to the

past.”

“Compared to the past that can’t be changed, the future has infinite possibilities. Therefore, Eighth Tribulation Eminences mostly head to the future or other universes,” said Realm Ancestor with a sigh. “Compared to them, us Seventh Tribulation Eminences are just fish in the River of Spacetime. We are still swimming in the river, but Eighth Tribulation Eminences are already on the shore. They can choose to enter the river in the future or head to other rivers directly.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. The strength difference between Tribulation Eminences was indeed greater at higher realms. He had no way of resisting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. As for Seventh Tribulation Eminences and Eighth Tribulation Eminences, they were even more different fundamentally.

“I think very highly of you.” Realm Ancestor smiled at Meng Chuan. “Your talent is even higher than Saber Swordsman’s. You have a chance of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm in your lifetime. In the future, you might be like me. You will also attempt to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.”

“I’m still far from reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan. In the entire River of Spacetime, a single Eighth Tribulation Eminence might not even appear in a particular epoch. In fact, one might not even appear in ten epochs. According to the scattered information he had, it was very difficult for an Eighth Tribulation Eminence to appear.

Meng Chuan only wanted to take things one step at a time and do his best. The most important thing for him was to transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation first.

“It is very difficult.” Realm Ancestor said softly, “I’m not confident, even if I’m given ten times my lifespan.” With a flip of his hand, a golden leaf appeared in Realm Ancestor’s hand. With a wave of his hand, the golden leaf flew towards Meng Chuan.

“This is for you. This is an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation legacy. It’s called Eternal Road,” said Realm Ancestor. “It’s limited by the River of Spacetime’s laws. If you learn it, this leaf will shatter.”

“An Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation legacy?” Meng Chuan was alarmed. “T-this is too precious.”

“It’s precious to you, but it’s nothing to me,” said Realm Ancestor indifferently. “I once deliberately searched for Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation legacies, so I naturally collected many. It’s just a small matter to give you one. In the future, help my two juniors-Yu Xi and Feng Xiao—and help my homeworld, Eternal Mountain Realm, if you have the chance.”

Realm Ancestor’s request was very vague. By asking Meng Chuan to help if he had the chance and not stating the extent of the help, it was clearly up to Meng Chuan. Such a request was considered very small. “Thank you, Senior.” Meng Chuan still accepted the legacy. He naturally remembered this favor. He would definitely find an opportunity to repay Realm Ancestor in the future.

This legacy was very important to him. After all, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence. He knew very little about the Essence Soul cultivation system. He had even obtained the Essence Soul Star formulation by chance. With this new legacy, he had two Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation legacies. He would be able to obtain more guidance.

“I’ll give you some advice as well.” Realm Ancestor smiled at Meng Chuan. “You can learn an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s legacy, but you can’t follow it completely. Every Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence creates their own Eighth Tribulation path.”

“I can learn it, but I can’t follow it completely?” Meng Chuan somewhat understood.

“I wonder how far you will go in the future. I can’t see it,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile. “Forget it. That is all we have between us.” With that said, he flicked his sleeve.

Meng Chuan couldn’t help but fall into the lake.

Plop. Spacetime changed.

Inside the same chamber on Thousand Mountain Star.

Spacetime distorted as Meng Chuan appeared out of thin air.

I’m back? Meng Chuan looked at his surroundings. The meditation mat, lamp, incense… Nothing had changed. It was as though he had just experienced a dream.

Meng Chuan looked down at the golden leaf in his hand. This is a legacy bestowed by Realm Ancestor. It clearly wasn’t a dream.

I never expected that I would obtain an opportunity while cultivating in a chamber. Meng Chuan felt somewhat wistful. Sometimes, opportunities were as such. Even if one searched hard, they might not necessarily obtain one. An opportunity could descend from the heavens while one was cultivating diligently.

Meng Chuan’s opportunity had to do with his shared membership of the Cang Alliance with Realm Ancestor. Most importantly, his potential had been recognized by Realm Ancestor. Realm Ancestor—who was nearing the end of his lifespan-was willing to form a good relationship with him.

From what Realm Ancestor said, he wants me to help take care of his two juniors and his homeworld if I have a chance.Also, Realm Ancestor is close to the end of his lifespan? Meng Chuan nodded slightly. According to public information, Realm Ancestor has already lived for more than 180,000 years. He’s the oldest Seventh Tribulation Eminence in this era. He’s indeed not far from the end of his lifespan.

This legacy. Meng Chuan looked at the golden leaf and immediately sat down cross-legged. He solemnly took out a jade bottle and consumed a pill.

His eyes lit up. Following that, an Essence Soul thought immediately seeped into the golden leaf.

Boom! Immediately, a large amount of information surged into Meng Chuan’s mind.

An inheritance—which was completely different from the Essence Soul Starappeared in front of Meng Chuan.

While Meng Chuan received the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation legacy-Eternal Road-Fu Sui was waiting in a hall on his ship.

The Black Mountain ruins are becoming more and more famous. News has spread outside the Cang Alliance, attracting even more cultivators. Fu Sui was rather excited. When the news first spread, only those cultivators from the Cang Alliance entered the ruin world. However, when the news reached the outside world, cultivators from outside the faction came over because of its fame.

No one can kill me completely with my body in my homeworld. I’ll definitely earn a huge fortune. Fu Sui was very cautious. Every time he earned Outer Realm Essence Crystals, he would send them to his homeworld. His true body in the outer realm carried a pitiful amount of treasures.

If he earned anything, he would send it back! Unless an Eighth Tribulation Eminence took action, his homeworld’s true body could not be threatened by anything else.

Whoosh.

Spacetime distorted in the ship.

Fu Sui’s expression changed as he looked ahead in panic. A figure forcefully tore through spacetime and passed through the ship’s layers of array formations, arriving in the hall where Fu Sui was.

It was a tall, thin man with six arms. His eyes were cold.

When he arrived, he imperceptibly affected the entire ship. He even affected the surrounding one trillion kilometers. This huge area became much darker.

His gaze landed on Fu Sui, who felt an inexplicable sense of horror and fear.

“Thearch Xu.” Fu Sui was extremely respectful.

Thearch Xu-one of the six Celestial Thearchs from Six Directions Heaven-a top faction in the River of Spacetime.

There were a total of six Celestial Thearchs in Six Directions Heaven. Celestial Thearch Xu was ranked last. He grasped a Seventh Tribulation law and didn’t cultivate a Seventh Tribulation body. However, he was still one of the top 100 terrifying existences in the River of Spacetime.

Fu Sui wasn’t even at the Sixth Tribulation realm. Furthermore, his Essence Soul was heavily injured. Thearch Xu could probably kill Fu Sui with a glance.

Even Lord Ghostink would probably be reduced to dust with a flick of his sleeve.

“Fu Sui.” Thearch Xu looked at Fu Sui and coldly said, “The Black Mountain ruin you discovered is filled with endless troubles. According to the agreement signed by the Star Pavilion Association, I’m here to deliver an order. From today onwards, you are not to send any cultivators into the Black Mountain ruin.”

“I’m not to send any cultivators in?” Fu Sui was somewhat dazed.

Many cultivators were still on his ship. Only by sending a batch of cultivators in would he receive a batch of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Many Outer Realm Essence Crystals had yet to be collected.

Although he was afraid of Thearch Xu, these Outer Realm Essence Crystals were his means of survival.

“This is an opportunity I discovered. Why can’t I send them in?” Fu Sui whispered. In order to survive, he still retorted to Thearch Xu’s words.

“I’m here to pass the order. I’m clearly not the one who gave the order.” Thearch Xu looked at Fu Sui. “It’s the eminences who signed the agreement with Star Pavilion Association.” “What is the Star Pavilion Association?” Fu Sui felt indignant.

“More than half of the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime have signed the agreement together,” said Thearch Xu indifferently. “You can disobey the order, but you can forget about having any of your true bodies and avatars appearing outside your inhabited world from the moment you refuse. The moment they appear… they will be annihilated.”

Fu Sui was somewhat dazed. More than half of the River of Spacetime’s Seventh Tribulation Eminences? How can I resist such an order? In the future, I will die if I leave my inhabited world after disobeying?

“I-I…” Fu Sui felt very indignant.

Thearch Xu looked at him. “Give me your answer.”
