Chapter 686: Getting Acquainted

Blazing Sun was somewhat puzzled when he heard that, while Azure Dragon was somewhat surprised.

The two of them knew that, as existences that grasped time and space, Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star could see through the fog of the future. There was no need to question their decisions. This was because others would discover that they were ultimately right as time passed. In front of such existences, the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences would be doomed if they were to oppose them.

The best way to prevent the future from being seen was to make themselves unresolvable.

For example, Origin Realm Chieftain’s many Essence Soul avatars could act separately. He could send his will anywhere in the universe, and he could self-destruct them at any time. This was an unresolvable problem!

For example, no matter how Meng Chuan was suppressed, he would ultimately reach that step!

In this era, only me, Myriad Star, and this Meng Chuan have a chance of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm. Although only one in over 100 half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences in history have a chance of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, there’s at least hope for Meng Chuan.

If Meng Chuan succeeds, he will be an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

Hall Lord White Avian felt constant pain and torture from his Essence Soul. Even though he had the strength to suppress it at present, he felt powerless.

He tried so hard his entire life, but it was extremely difficult for him to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. Now, his chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm were even slimmer. He could only hope for external help to escape the pain and torture. He had ways to seek an audience with a few Eighth Tribulation Eminences of the Physical Body lineage, but he couldn’t meet any Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences!

Even though Meng Chuan’s chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm were very low, as long as there was hope, it was worth it for Hall Lord White Avian to place a bet. Giving Meng Chuan three treasures was equivalent to placing a bet for his future.

...

Three days later, Nebula Palace.

White Avian Hall’s third branch held a celebration to celebrate the addition of City Lord Eastcalm as a Patroller.

The scale of this celebration was grand. The core members of White Avian Hall gathered. The Hall Lord, two Deputy Hall Lords, three Librarians, five Patrollers, and the Deputy Patroller were all present. The White Avian Hall members who participated in the celebration felt that it was only right.

“Lord of the East Abyss.”

“Lord of Shadows.”

“Palace Lord Food God.” Meng Chuan was the busiest. He did not dare slight any of White Avian Hall’s top brass. Since the other party had specially come to attend the celebration, he couldn’t not entertain them. It would be an inhospitable act.

Apart from the three Seventh Tribulation Eminences, there were also people Meng Chuan naturally knew like the Patrollers, Mountain Lord Moxie, and Monarch Ape Fiend. It was rare for Lord of Shadowfiend and Apprentice to appear. They had come to participate in the celebrations out of goodwill. For example, when Lord of Avian Mountain became a Deputy Patroller, the main members of White Avian Hall’s third branch participated in the celebrations.

“Lord of Shadowfiend.” Meng Chuan chatted with Lord of Shadowfiend alone.

Lord of Shadowfiend was a shadow lifeform. It was difficult to see his appearance clearly. He didn’t even seem to exist as he sat there, keeping a low profile. He had once fought alongside Hall Lord White Avian. Now, his realm wasn’t inferior to a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s. But his body had yet to break through, so he had yet to transcend the seventh Heavenly Tribulation.

Many Physical Body Tribulation Eminences deliberately delayed their tribulation transcendence. This was because the longer they waited, the more insights they accumulated. This boosted their chances of transcending the tribulation.

“Seeing you makes me feel like I’m looking at Hall Lord back when he was young.” Lord Shadowfiend raised his cup and toasted Meng Chuan. Soon, Meng Chuan went to receive other Eminences.

“Second Brother, when are you transcending the tribulation to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm?” Hall Lord White Avian sat in the seat of honor. Lord of Shadowfiend sat beside him. “You always mention that fighting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence as a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence would bring greater pressure. However, you haven’t taken action in the past 10,000 years. Why haven’t you transcended the tribulation?”

“I’m not in a hurry, but you are.” Lord of Shadowfiend chuckled softly. “I’m still far from the end of my lifespan. It’s fine breaking through 10,000 years before that point.”

“Do it as soon as possible. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to withstand Myriad Star,” said Hall Lord White Avian softly. His voice only entered Lord of Shadowfiend’s ears.

Lord of Shadowfiend’s expression changed slightly as he looked at his friend. “You...”

“I’m no longer suited to fight prolonged battles.” Hall Lord White Avian nodded slightly. “Of course, Myriad Star can’t tell. Only Realm Ancestor and you know of my injuries in this River of Spacetime. I need help now.”

“Alright. I’ll break through in ten years. The heavenly tribulation will probably descend in a century or so.” Lord of Shadowfiend nodded solemnly. His good friend needed him again.

“Ten years?” Hall Lord White Avian looked at Lord of Shadowfiend. “Will it be too much of a rush? You mustn’t be careless when we are talking about a tribulation.”

“I’ve already figured out three Seventh Tribulation body formulations. I’m only trying to create stronger ones,” said Lord of Shadowfiend. “In the future, leave White Avian Hall’s troublesome matters to me. Don’t take action unless necessary.”

Hall Lord White Avian heaved a sigh of relief.

The three Librarians were only in a partnership with him. It was fine if they occasionally took action, but it was somewhat troublesome to deploy them frequently.

Apart from Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun and Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon, the only other person he could deploy at any time was his good friend, Lord of Shadowfiend. The relationship between the two of them had been established since they were weak.

Although thousands of members were gathered at the celebration, none of the other members could sense the conversation between Hall Lord White Avian and Lord of Shadowfiend.

As the star of this celebration, Meng Chuan’s surroundings were very lively.

Seventh Tribulation Eminences, half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences, peak Sixth Tribulation Eminences, and even some top Sixth Tribulation Eminences came to chat with him privately.

“Brother Eastcalm, congratulations.” Cang Li and Lady Feng Yu walked over side by side. Although they weren’t members of the third branch and hadn’t been invited to the celebration, as White Avian Hall members, they wouldn’t be stopped at the door if they took the initiative to come.

“Brother Cang Li, Lady Feng Yu.” Meng Chuan welcomed them. These two had spent some time with him in the Valley of Spacetime. Although he didn’t like Lady Feng Yu, Meng Chuan still thought highly of Cang Li.

“Speaking of which, Feng Yu and I used the Void Trileaf Flower earlier than you. However, we didn’t comprehend the spatial law, yet you did,” said Cang Li with a smile. “It made Feng Yu and I realize the difference.”

“As you accumulate more insights, both of you will definitely have a chance of comprehending the spatial law,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“City Lord Eastcalm.” The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences came to congratulate Meng Chuan.

“We won’t disturb you any further. Farewell.” Cang Li and Lady Feng Yu bade farewell when they saw this.

“Let’s meet again in the future.” Meng Chuan had no choice but to continue chatting with the other Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

...

Cang Li and Lady Feng Yu silently left amidst the commotion.

“Cang Li, although you didn’t comprehend the spatial law after consuming the Void Trileaf Flower, you have grasped a fourth Sixth Tribulation law. With such a deep foundation, you can figure out a Seventh Tribulation law at any time,” said Lady Feng Yu. “Furthermore, you obtained the Fire Origins legacy left behind by Ancestral Phoenix. In the future, you will definitely be much stronger than Eastcalm.”

The Fire Origins legacy was the phoenixes’ strongest legacy. It was a legacy created after Phoenix Ancestor reached the Eighth Tribulation realm.

In the phoenixes’ history, only a handful of people had learned this legacy. The learning threshold was extremely high. Even some of the phoenixes’ Seventh Tribulation Eminences couldn’t learn it.

Cang Li went to the Phoenix Ancestral Land. With just a glance, he had comprehended a portion of the profundities. In less than ten years, he had completely learned this legacy. It was obvious that he was extremely compatible with this legacy.

His deep accumulation, acquisition of the Fire Origins legacy, and his youth made the phoenixes place great importance on Cang Li. They began to pour resources on him.

Cang Li shook his head gently. “Feng Yu, don’t you understand why all the upper echelons of White Avian Hall appeared during the celebration of a Deputy Patroller? He has such strength after cultivating for just over 5,000 years. Furthermore, he’s at the Essence Soul Tribulation realm,” said Cang Li with a sigh. “Eastcalm is destined to be an influential figure in the River of Spacetime.”

Lady Feng Yu nodded slightly before saying, “You will also be an influential figure.”

Cang Li smiled with confidence.

...

Archean Eon Realm, inside a Seventh Tribulation World Treasure.

The wind howled and blew at Meng Chuan’s white hair. He stood on the vast land and looked up. In the dark sky, a huge eye had already appeared. It was the Eighth Tribulation treasure—Heavenly Punishment Chart.

Now that I’ve reached the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm, I can try dealing with Emperor Roc again. Meng Chuan waved his hand, and a blob of blood appeared in front of him. It was the blood extracted from Emperor Roc’s imprisoned outer realm true body.
