Chapter 417 Going to the World Gap
In the following days, Meng Chuan went to meet his parents, children, and wife. This was because the mission in the World Gap could take a long time to finish.
His parents were now very loving. Furthermore, the pressure in regards to defending humanity had greatly reduced. Meng Dajiang and Bai Nianyun weren’t a.s.signed any missions, so the couple traveled the world together! Meng Chuan felt a little redundant after meeting them once.
His daughter, Meng You, was also rather outstanding. She wasn’t far from the Great Solar realm. However, his son, Meng An, shocked him. His son’s personality was especially steady, and his strength was astonis.h.i.+ng
“Qiyue, you didn’t see him. An’er sparred with me and used seven sets of spear arts in a row,” said Meng Chuan. “None of the spear art sets have reached the Realm of Dao, but in terms of strength, they’re at the peak of the Darkstar realm.”
“Every spear art is at the peak of the Darkstar realm?” Liu Qiyue asked in surprise. She had not seen her son in a long time because she was guarding the cities and couldn’t leave her post.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “It’s fine if one set of spear arts is heaven-defying. However, all seven spear art sets allow him to fight above his cultivation level. He can even kill ordinary Marquis G.o.dfiends… He’s much more powerfu. than I was back then.”
Although he knew that his son had obtained Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacy, such a monstrous genius still shocked Meng Chuan. Furthermore, his son was very composed. He wasn’t proud of his monstrous talent at all.
“I’ll be in the World Gap for a few years, maybe even decades,” said Meng Chuan. “I’m not worried about the rest, but you have to take care of You’er and An’er.”
“Okay.” Liu Qiyue nodded. “I’ll write to them often.”
“An’er’s opportunities are extraordinary, but these opportunities are accompanied by trials
—which will temper him. Some trials can be very cruel,” said Meng Chuan. “If you find something amiss, write to Archean Mountain and summon me back. It won’t affect me much if I occasionally return from the World Gap.”
As a Sect Proprietor, he had a deep understanding of Archean Mountain’s heritage. However, he didn’t know what tests and treasures were contained in the best cornerstone treasure-Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacy. It was the most mysterious treasure hidden in the world. He only knew that there were many opportunities contained within. Even Tribulation-level opportunities existed. However, Meng Chuan also knew that these opportunities were accompanied by tests.
For example, he only knew about a portion of the opportunities available in the third treasure —Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven. As for what secrets the fourth treasure, the arm, contained, Qin Wu and Li Guan didn’t know either. This was a secret only an Imperial Lord knew.
Archean Mountain had many unknown secrets.
His son had the number one legacy.
“Alright. If anything goes wrong, I’ll immediately write to Archean Mountain and summon you back.” Liu Qiyue nodded.
Meng Chuan looked at his wife and gently hugged her. “It’s about time. I should set off.”
Liu Qiyue leaned her head against Meng Chuan’s chest and said softly, “We will be apart for years, maybe even decades. We’ve never been apart for so long.”
In the past, although he was busy hunting underground, he still came back at night. Even when he guarded the island, he would return to visit her every month.
The longest time he had been away from her in recent times was during the trip to the World Gap. Even then, he had only been gone for less than a year. However, this time they might even be separated for decades.
Liu Qiyue had mixed emotions.
“If we resolve the threat of the fifth Firmament demon monarchs,” said Meng Chuan softly, “preventing the demons from sending a large number of fifth Firmament demon monarchs through the World Gap, the human race will have a long period of peace. This mission has huge implications for the war.”
“I know,” replied Liu Qiyue.
She knew how important her husband’s partic.i.p.ation in this mission was, but they still had to separate.
Moments later,
“I’m leaving,” said Meng Chuan. “Be careful.” Liu Qiyue looked at her husband. “Don’t think you’re invincible just because you’re in the World Gap. The demons have the numbers advantage; they also have robust foundations. They definitely won’t be easy to deal with. It’s never too much to overestimate your enemy.”
“Got it.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I’ll be careful.”
Swoosh.
He transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew south.
Liu Qiyue looked up. The snow still fluttered down onto the ground. She didn’t know when her husband would return.
Archean Mountain, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
By the time Meng Chuan arrived, King True Martial, Peng Mu, Yun Jianhai, and the Dao Protector—w.a.n.g Shan—were already waiting.
“I’m late,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“Haha, we came early.” The fat white-haired elder, Peng Mu, smiled and said, “The four of us have been staying in Archean Mountain for the past few days. We naturally got here earlier. Junior Brother Meng, you have given the three treasures-Star Cl.u.s.ter Building, Battle G.o.d PaG.o.da, and Heart Sea Palace-to the sect. It’s truly admirable. Generations of Archean Mountain disciples will benefit from it.”
“It’s great for humanity and for the sect,” said King True Martial with a smile. “Even we have benefited from it and learned the mystic techniques.”
“Amazing.”
The goateed elder-Yun Jianhai—and the Dao Protector, w.a.n.g Shan, smiled at Meng Chuan.
They were the four strongest Regis G.o.dfiends in the past 1,000 plus years. King True Martial was the strongest. Peng Mu and Yun Jianhai also had peak Creation realm combat strength. Dao Protector w.a.n.g Shan had a sixth-level Essence Soul.
Although Meng Chuan was the youngest, the four of them were rather impressed by him! The services Meng Chuan had rendered were dazzling. At the same time, many disciples benefited from him.
“Junior Brother Meng, according to the plan, I’ll be with you,” said w.a.n.g Shan. He was dressed in black and appeared dispirited, but he had the strongest Essence Soul amongst those present.
“I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother w.a.n.g to take care of me when the time comes,” said Meng Chuan.
“Everyone has received intelligence on the fifth Firmament demon monarchs,” said King True Martial. “However, the intelligence also has its flaws. Over the past few years, many fifth Firmament demon monarchs have gathered in the World Gap. After a few exchanges, they have formed powerful teams. Some demon monarchs have made breakthroughs while watching the World Gap’s world-birthing scenes.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
He, King True Martial, Yan Chitong, and the deceased Xue Feng had experienced breakthroughs during their time in the World Gap. “There are hundreds of fifth Firmament demon monarchs among the demons. Of them, 190 have reached the peak of the fifth Firmament,” said King True Martial. “Over the years, in the World Gap, a very small number of peak fifth Firmament demon monarchs have taken the final, critical step. They have the strength to match a demon sage. Some can even become demon sages at any time. However, the World Gap can’t contain demon sages, so they can only temporarily hold back their breakthroughs.”
“It’s impossible for us to probe all of the demon monarchs’ improved combat prowess,” said King True Martial. “We can only probe a small portion of them. Therefore, there are flaws in our intelligence. We can use it as a reference, but we can’t trust it completely.”
Meng Chuan and company nodded.
King True Martial had been roaming the World Gap for many years, and he was the strongest. His words were naturally more convincing. “The World Gap is a great opportunity for us Regis G.o.dfiends,” said King True Martial with a sigh. “Most fifth Firmament demon monarchs have entered the World Gap. In the past few years, many have had a breakthrough in strength. As for us humans… Most of the Regis G.o.dfiends have to guard cities. Only a small portion of us can enter. The overall benefits we obtain are incomparable to the demons.”
“We have very few people. It’s too dangerous for weak Regis G.o.dfiends to enter,” said Peng Mu. “On the contrary, we will only send those that are strong enough to protect themselves, even if they can’t kill the fifth Firmament demon monarchs.”
“Yes, before we enter, I need to remind all of you again to be careful of Monarch Peac.o.c.k,” said King True Martial. “Brother w.a.n.g Shan can try using his Magic Awl against it. There’s no need to try other methods. If the Magic Awl can’t kill it, immediately flee when you discover that it’s in the vicinity.”
Meng Chuan and company nodded.
According to the intelligence gathered, Monarch Peac.o.c.k was indeed terrifying. King True Martial had once fought with him, but he was completely suppressed. Thankfully, the True Martial lineage was extremely powerful, allowing him to survive.
Of course, now that King True Martial had broken through and obtained a Tribulation treasure, he had the confidence to deal with Monarch Peac.o.c.k.
Among the human Regis G.o.dfiends, only King True Martial had the confidence to deal with Monarch Peac.o.c.k.“Are all of you here?” Li Guan, an illusory Qin Wu, and an illusory Luo Tang walked over.
“Master, Supremacies.” King True Martial, Meng Chuan, and company bowed.
“Set off now. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island will send their teams in today,” said Li Guan.
After a while, everyone arrived at the nameless mountain peak. With a wave of his hand, Li Guan shattered the world membrane with a rumble. He also tore through the World Gap’s membrane.
“You have to be careful.” Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang watched.
“Yes.” The five nodded.
Following that, they flew into the opening and headed for the World Gap.
“These are the strongest Regis G.o.dfiend teams that Archean Mountain can send,” said Li Guan. “I hope they can return safely.” Qin Wu and Luo Tang nodded slightly. They looked at the closing world membrane and could only pray for their safety.
