Chapter 551: Meng Chuan’s Rushes Over
Chaos Hole accretion disc.
The white-haired Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the void. Pieces of Outer Realm Essence Crystals floated in front of him. The Outer Realm Essence Crystals slowly disintegrated, transforming into an extremely turbulent wave of outer realm essence energy, which surged into Meng Chuan’s body. After a long while, the nine Outer Realm Essence Crystals in front of him were completely devoured.
I spent 150 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. It’s about time. Meng Chuan opened his eyes.
After raising Infinite Saber to the perfected Heaven Earth realm, he had completely elevated his dantian, Quintessential Essence, and body to the perfected Imperial Lord realm.
Strictly speaking, he was just short of perfecting his body.
Meng Chuan looked at his left arm. One last tiny skin layer hadn’t been refined to the pinnacle. All I need is one more Outer Realm Essence Crystal to make up for the last flaw. I have a feeling that my body will be perfected once long as I resolve that flaw.
Although my true body in the outer realm devoured fewer Primordial Stones than my true body in my homeworld, it can still be perfected.
It was very difficult to attain a perfected body. Many Imperial Lords reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm, but they couldn’t reach the Tribulation realm because they couldn’t perfect their bodies.
However, it was very easy for an expert who had created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. This was because their self-created paramount techniques were perfect. With a paramount technique as one’s foundation for cultivating their body, one would definitely be able to reach the Tribulation realm.
If I miss the Imperial Lord realm, I’ll miss it forever. It’s best if I return to my homeworld once I reach the Primordial realm’s early stage. I’ll refine enough Primordial Stones before entering the Physical Body Tribulation Realm.
It was very easy for one to stall their progress in the Physical Body lineage deliberately. One just needed to stop improving their bodies.
Before returning home… The white-haired Meng Chuan looked into the distance. As a lifeform that was comparable to a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, he was extremely sensitive to karma. He could sense karmic threads affecting him.
Many of the karmic threads led back to Three Bay River System. However, two karmic threads led to his left.
I can sense the location. Based on the s.p.a.cetime Dominion Map, it’s within Ancient Magus River Zone’s Myriad Horn River System. Meng Chuan frowned slightly. Is Myriad Horn River System where Senior Pang Ming’s homeworld is?
Back when he obtained Senior Pang Ming’s treasures, a karmic connection between the two of them had formed.
After reaching the Tribulation realm, he had to recruit a Supremacy from Pang Ming Realm as his disciple and guide them to become an Imperial Lord.
This karma’s influence on me will only increase. Meng Chuan also realized this. He had cultivated for 1,500 years to date. His Infinite Saber had reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
Meng Chuan was no longer afraid of Saber of Nirvana’s influence on his mental state, so he continued cultivating it. However, he didn’t use it as a foundation for his body cultivation and Essence Soul cultivation. Saber of Nirvana had long reached the Heaven Earth realm’s late stage; it wasn’t far from the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
The karma didn’t significantly affect the two techniques for the time being because the path to attaining the perfected Heaven Earth realm was very clear.
However, Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had long reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm. He didn’t have a clear cultivation direction beyond that. All he could do was grope in the dark. The karmic interference also made his already unclear cultivation path even more uncertain. Nearly 1,000 years had pa.s.sed since his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
Although he had attempted many directions to progress his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, he didn’t manage to improve the technique qualitatively. In terms of profundity, the technique remained at the Third Tribulation realm.
Karma affects Tribulation Eminences greatly.
Infinite Saber and Saber of Nirvana have yet to reach the perfected Heaven Earth realm. However, their future paths after the perfected Heaven Earth realm also have to be deduced by groping in the darkness. In the future, they will also be at the mercy of karma. Meng Chuan understood this point and looked in the direction of Myriad Horn River System. I agreed to establish the karmic connection back then. As long as a Supremacy is born in Pang Ming Realm, they will naturally be connected to me by karma.
The two karmic threads were relatively weak. However, Meng Chuan’s order in life was high, which was why he could sense them clearly.
…
In the void beside the Chaos Hole, there was an ordinary cave abode on an asteroid. Supremacy Qing Gu was cultivating there.
Ever since Meng Chuan said he was going to the Chaos Hole to cultivate, Supremacy Qing Gu had been patiently waiting. While waiting over the years, he had observed the vast void, the Grand Yin Star, the Grand Yang Star, and the Chaos Hole. He also focused on his cultivation. He hoped to reach the Heaven Earth realm.
Whoosh.
As he sat cross-legged on the asteroid, Supremacy Qing Gu slowly exhaled. Green scales on his body flickered with a faint purple l.u.s.ter.
Oh? Supremacy Qing Gu suddenly glared and saw a white-haired man—Meng Chuan—appear in front of him. Supremacy Qing Gu could tell that the person in front of him was none other than Supremacy Eastcalm, whom he followed.
However…
Supremacy Qing Gu’s heart couldn’t help but tremble when he saw Supremacy Eastcalm; his legs also went limp. He felt an inexplicable fear. It was the same feeling he got when he saw a Tribulation Eminence on Black Dragon Planet. Furthermore, the invisible pressure and fear he felt was far stronger than when he saw any Tribulation Eminence on Black Dragon Planet.
After all, back on Black Dragon Planet, only Patriarch Black Dragon could match Meng Chuan. Supremacy Qing Gu had never seen Patriarch Black Dragon before.
“S-Senior,” stammered Supremacy Qing Gu. He no longer dared to address Meng Chuan as Brother Eastcalm.
Meng Chuan was slightly taken aback when he saw Supremacy Qing Gu.
Yes. He had cultivated in the Chaos Hole for more than 1,000 years, so he was used to not hiding his aura. Now that he saw Supremacy Qing Gu, he subconsciously didn’t think of hiding his true ident.i.ty. However, he had frightened Supremacy Qing Gu.
A Primordial realm expert at the perfected Imperial Lord realm was comparable to a Fifth Tribulation realm expert. Due to this, the difference between Supremacy Qing Gu and Meng Chuan in life’s natural order was just too great—just looking at Meng Chuan’s 100,000-year lifespan alone was enough to see the difference. This caused fear to erupt in Supremacy Qing Gu.
The difference in level was too great.
Supremacy Qing Gu was instinctively horrified.
“Qing Gu,” said Meng Chuan, “I’ve already reached the Tribulation realm. I’m preparing to leave Heaven Peak River System. I’m also leaving Ancient Magus River Zone. Are you willing to follow me?”
“You’ve reached the Tribulation realm?” Supremacy Qing Gu was stunned. He had stayed in the void outside the Chaos Hole for more than 20 years, and the former Supremacy Eastcalm had already reached the Tribulation realm?
However, he didn’t know that those 20-plus years in the outside world had been over 1,000 years for Meng Chuan. Furthermore, he had experienced Emperor Roc and Eminence Xuan Fang’s—a Fourth Tribulation Eminence—attacks. When Emperor Roc and Eminence Xuan Fang came to the Chaos Hole, they didn’t pay any attention to the ordinary, ant-like Supremacy.
“Are you willing?” asked Meng Chuan again.
“Yes, of course. I’m willing to follow you, Senior” said Supremacy Qing Gu immediately. This was a rare opportunity, so he naturally had to seize it.
“Alright.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly and waved his hand to put Qing Gu into his grotto-heaven. Since they were fated, he was willing to bring Qing Gu along.
Since he was returning to Three Bay River System, he needed several subordinates to deal with some trivial matters.
Swoosh.
With a single step, Meng Chuan’s flying speed caused spatial fluctuations to appear. He maintained the spatial fluctuations for more than 30 seconds before completely entering them.
…
The River of s.p.a.cetime? Meng Chuan looked at the vast river in front of him.
To Meng Chuan, the River of s.p.a.cetime had completely changed. The stars and the inhabited worlds in the River of s.p.a.cetime had become extremely tiny. Every star and inhabited world were like particle cores. The surrounding void resembled a particle s.p.a.ce. The particles revolved around the stars in the void like water droplets in the River of s.p.a.cetime.
Countless particles and countless droplets formed a vast river. It was a real river!
Meng Chuan could clearly see over ten wide water streams. As the water surged, many obstacles obstructed the river flow.
On my left, I can see the end. Meng Chuan looked into the distance. On his left, he could see seven streams. Further away, it was pitch-black. On his right, he could vaguely see eight streams. There were even more distributaries even further away, but he could not see them clearly.
According to the s.p.a.cetime Dominion Map left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, I should see a total of 26 s.p.a.cetime distributaries. Meng Chuan was very clear on this. Every distributary is a river system.
The 26 river systems were relatively close.
As long as one flew further, they would be able to see other river systems.
Countless river systems were scattered everywhere.
Boom!
At Meng Chuan’s current realm, he was already at an extremely profound level in the River of s.p.a.cetime. The countless water droplets in the River of s.p.a.cetime were extremely dense. The resistance was extremely great, and he couldn’t fly. He could only walk step by step as he traversed the river.
He walked step by step.
After he grasped the paramount speed laws, his speed far exceeded other Fifth Tribulation Eminences. With each step, his body phased away, allowing him to travel a great distance.
…
“That is?”
Many cultivators flew through the River of s.p.a.cetime. They saw a towering figure; it was a white-haired man. His eyes were thousands of times larger than Grand Yang Stars and Grand Yin Stars.
The countless stars at his feet were so tiny that he couldn’t see them clearly. With a single step, he traveled an extremely far distance. Furthermore, his figure was blurry. Every time he phased into being again, he would already be at the limits of the ordinary cultivators’ vision. With another step, he completely vanished.
“Who is that?”
“Which Tribulation Eminence is it?”
Meng Chuan only took a few steps before pa.s.sing by over 100 cultivators.
The higher one’s order in life was, the larger their body would be in the River of s.p.a.cetime. Meng Chuan was a lifeform at the Fifth Tribulation realm.
…
He traversed the River of s.p.a.cetime step by step. Every step he took blurred his body. In about two hours, Meng Chuan crossed 11 river systems and arrived at his destination—Senior Pang Ming’s homeworld, Myriad Horn River System.
