Chapter 601 Constantly On the Mountain
Meng Chuan looked at Fu Sui and frowned slightly. “Fu Sui, you should know that I cultivate both my body and Essence Soul. The third path is very important for the tempering of my mind and will.”
“There are many ways to cultivate one’s mind. It doesn’t have to be done on this black mountain ruin,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “How about this? If you leave in three years, I’ll compensate you with 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Just treat it as helping me.”
Meng Chuan shook his head. “I can’t help you.”
Fu Sui’s expression sank slightly. His strength was now at the Sixth Tribulation realm. His status was much higher than that of an ordinary Fifth Tribulation Eminence. He had already tried to persuade Meng Chuan, but Meng Chuan wasn’t having any of it. “Eastcalm,” said Fu Sui with a frown, “I was the one who brought you into the ruin world and gave you the chance to obtain opportunities and benefits. You should be grateful for this favor. Can’t you help me on account of that?”
“Exploring the ruin together is about mutual weal and woe,” said Meng Chuan. “Before exploring the ruin, no one knows how great the benefits and the disasters are. Even now, I don’t know how much trouble this ruin will bring. It’s still early to talk about favors now, right?”
Meng Chuan had only explored a portion of the ruin. He was worried that the third path would lead to deep trouble.
Fu Sui stared at Meng Chuan. “You’ve been inside for 30 years. That’s enough, right!?”
Meng Chuan’s expression turned cold as well. Since the other party had brought him in, he owed him a favor. However, mutual weal and woe were unavoidable when it came to exploring ruins. It would be a joke for the other party to use this debt of grat.i.tude to request recompense.
As for using force?
“I’ll stay as long as I want.” Meng Chuan glanced at Fu Sui before standing up in preparation to disperse the embodiment.
Fu Sui’s pupils constricted when he heard that. Rage surged in his heart. However, when he thought of Meng Chuan’s two true bodiesone in his homeworld and the other in the ruin
—both of which he couldn’t deal with, he could only suppress his anger.
“Wait,” said Fu Sui.
Meng Chuan turned to look at him.
Fu Sui’s previous att.i.tude greatly reduced Meng Chuan’s impression of him. If the other party wanted to pursue him because of this small conflict, Meng Chuan was already prepared.
“Forget it.” Fu Sui squeezed out a smile. “Since you want to stay in the ruin world, I won’t force you. I’ll just send fewer cultivators in! By the way, remember to pa.s.s a message to every Fifth Tribulation member of the Cang Alliance.”
Meng Chuan was shocked. Fu Sui had previously threatened him, but he now forced a smile to ease the situation… Fu Sui could barely be considered a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, so why was he stooping so low?
From the looks of it, there is a special reason that forced Fu Sui to abandon his pride. Meng Chuan had some guesses.
“Don’t worry. I’ll do as I say,” said Meng Chuan. “Of course, I won’t lie either.” With that said, Meng Chuan dissipated his embodiment.
Fu Sui sat there alone for a long time before leaving.
Three Bay River System, Snowjade Palace.
Black Mountain ruin? Palace Lord Snowjade frowned slightly. He was also a member of the Cang Alliance. Today, he received four messages. They were from Fu Sui, Black Wind, Meng Chuan, and Meng Hu. Is the Black Mountain ruin that magical?
Old Fiend Black Wind went there twice. He went from grasping one Fifth Tribulation law to grasping three Fifth Tribulation laws?
Fu Sui went from grasping two Fifth Tribulation laws to grasping a Sixth Tribulation law?
Meng Hu has also improved from grasping two Fifth Tribulation laws to three Fifth Tribulation laws?
Eastcalm is still exploring the Black Mountain ruin’s path? Snowjade’s heart burned as he read the intelligence. It might have been a coincidence if only one explorer had improved greatly. However, Fu Sui, Meng Hu, and Black Wind had improved greatly. This meant that the ruin was very special. The first path can induce a constant state of epiphany? However, the longer one is in an epiphany, the greater the damage to their Essence Soul? Fu Sui relied on this path to grasp a Sixth Tribulation law in one fell swoop. Now, Fu Sui’s fame has spread far and wide, yet he hasn’t gone crazy. Snowjade’s heart burned with pa.s.sion. The second path can also lead to great improvements, but there’s the danger of losing oneself. As for the third path, one’s Essence Soul and mind will suffer pressure? There are no other benefits? Snowjade was indeed tempted. The first two paths aren’t bad. However, if I want to enter, I need to pay 10,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals? Ten thousand cubes!
The financial pressure on a Fifth Tribulation Eminence was immense.
For example, the treasures left behind by Senior Pang Ming’s outer realm true body only added up to 10,000 cubes.
Many of the poorer Fifth Tribulation Eminences might only have over 10,000 cubes worth of treasures. Of course, the wealthy ones like Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, Ta Gu, Meng Hu, and Meng Chuan could easily afford to take out 10,000 cubes.
Fu Sui set the price at 10,000 cubes after much consideration.
“There are no benefits in the outer realm void for no reason. The benefits usually have a price hidden behind them. If a ruin can induce a constant state of epiphany, the price one has to pay will definitely be astonis.h.i.+ng. To spend 10,000 cubes for a spot, anyone willing to pay for it can go?”
“Ten thousand cubes is too much. I can’t even raise 10,000 cubes.”
“It’s too much.”
In the Cang Alliance s.p.a.ce, the members chatted.
Many members were indeed unable to produce 10,000 cubes. This was because some treasures were very important to them—they weren’t for sale! It was very common for people to be unable to raise 10,000 cubes with what was readily sellable.
“I think we should get Brother Fu Sui to lower the price. Three thousand cubes would be sweet.”
The Cang Alliance s.p.a.ce was stirred by this matter, but many Fifth Tribulation Eminences were in the Cang Alliance. In the end, 53 Fifth Tribulation Eminences prepared to enter the Black Mountain ruin world. All of them rushed to Six Desires River Zone.
I’ve been cultivating for more than 70,000 years. I only have a few thousand years left to live. It’s my final gamble, so I’ll accept the price! A black turtle as large as a mountain moved through the River of s.p.a.cetime.
There’s actually a treasure land that allows one to be in a constant state of epiphany? Only with such a treasure land will I have a chance of improving my strength greatly. Only then will I have a chance of revenge. A silver-robed, thin, and tall man rushed through the River of s.p.a.cetime. Four members have confirmed the matter. Fu Sui has grasped a Sixth Tribulation law. Meng Hu is a Heavenly Dream Divine General of Heavenly Dream Realm. City Lord Eastcalm managed to get Cave Lord Scenic Cloud to follow him. They definitely care about karma. What they say is trustworthy.
There might be one who would lie because of special reasons, unfazed by the problem of karma, but the fact that four members had vouched for it made it trustworthy.
In fact, Meng Chuan, Black Wind, and Meng Hu weren’t lying.
Only attracting 53 Cang Alliance members was slightly lower than Fu Sui’s expectations. After all, he hadn’t even attracted 10% of the Cang Alliance members.
Fu Sui was rather excited that he could obtain 530,000 cubes. This was because it was very difficult for even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to obtain such wealth. Fu Sui was banking on selling the opportunity of entering the Black Mountain ruin world to make a killing. With his current strength and the cave abode’s array formation, even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence would find it difficult to breach the array formation. This guaranteed his profits.
In the ruin world.
Whoosh.
Fu Sui and the eight Fifth Tribulation Eminences arrived. Among the eight new members was Palace Lord Snowjade.
I can sense that Eastcalm is here. Snowjade looked around and noticed the towering black mountain in the distance. The world’s pressure is very strong. That black mountain looks terrifying. It must have an extraordinary background. This is the ruin world?
That’s the black mountain?
The other Fifth Tribulation Eminences were somewhat excited as they looked around. “The 53 Cang Alliance members will be split into several batches. You are the first batch to enter,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “Follow me.” “Alright.” The eight other members followed Fu Sui as he confidently led them forward.
Fu Sui encountered several forbidden creatures along the way. Although Fu Sui’s body was relatively weak and he didn’t carry any powerful treasures with him, he was much stronger than Meng Hu and Meng Chuan after grasping a Sixth Tribulation law. He easily killed the forbidden creatures and traveled at his maximum speed. He arrived at Black Mountain very smoothly.
Just entering the black mountain is like eating a rare treasure.
One day of cultivation here is equivalent to a month in the outside world.
The eight Fifth Tribulation Eminences were somewhat excited. Snowjade’s heart burned with fervor.
Fu Sui led the eight of them forward. They flew past mountain peaks and finally arrived at Black Mountain Peak.
“These are the three paths.” Fu Sui pointed at the three crystalline paths in front of him. “The left path allows one to be in a constant state of epiphany. The middle path allows one to possess Sixth Tribulation Eminences. The right path will result in mental suppression. I’ll say it again now. The black mountain paths contain both good and bad. The further one goes, the greater the price one has to pay. Act according to your abilities.”
The eight Fifth Tribulation Eminences stepped forward to give the paths a try. Soon, they came to a decision. In fact, they had already made up their minds before coming here.
The second path allowed one to possess Eminences. Snowjade was still rather cautious. He had cultivated for a long time, so he felt that the first path’s price would probably be rather high. He was satisfied as long as he could grasp three Fifth Tribulation laws.

In the end, four people stepped onto the path of epiphany, three stepped onto the second, and one took the third path. Fu Sui smiled as he watched this scene. Following that, he raised his head and looked in a direction. His eyes turned colder. Through karma, he could determine Meng Chuan’s location. Eastcalm has always been on the mountain. His occupying of a spot makes my suffering worse.
There was only one way to leave the ruin world each time: destroy a true body.
Destroying a true body required him to recultivate it again. Fu Sui didn’t care much about spending more than 1,000 cubes to recultivate a true body. However, after losing a portion of his Essence Soul, recultivation would result in tremendous pain due to his Essence Soul injuries!
Since Meng Chuan occupied one spot, Fu Sui had to die one or two more times. He was naturally very unhappy with Meng Chuan.
Forget it; it’s time to return. Although Fu Sui knew that losing a portion of his Essence Soul was painful, this was the only way to leave.
Whoosh. His body and Essence Soul completely dissipated.
