Chapter 653 Archean Eon Realm’s Supremacies
Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul began to contain the will that couldn’t be ground away by difficulties.
Creating one’s Essence Soul formulation was the most orthodox way to strengthen one’s willpower. In the early stages, one relied on tribulations, tempering, and insights. However, in the later stages, one had to create their own Essence Soul formulation. What was truly terrifying about one’s willpower wasn’t how strong one’s resistance to difficulties was. Instead, it was one’s wisdom that could see through everything without any doubts.
The torment of suffering was also a temptation. Without any doubts, Meng Chuan would completely deconstruct everything.
The birth and destruction of the Universe, the operation of all things, the growth and reincarnation of living beings, joy, anger, and grief. How was a will born? What was the difference between the Essence Souls and bodies of the countless species and powerful existences? Why were there these differences?
As his intelligence increased, his willpower would naturally increase.
After gaining a complete understanding of the Essence Soul and changing the Essence Soul structure, one’s natural order in life would slowly transform. This would naturally result in a stronger willpower. My Essence Soul formulation is still very crude. I’m mainly using the two major frameworks of Eternal Road and Essence Soul Star to create an embryonic form of my formulation. If I want to become truly powerful, I need to create a formulation with my own insights. In other words, I have to grasp the laws of time and s.p.a.ce. Only by using this as a foundation to establish an Essence Soul formulation can I compare to the two seniors. Meng Chuan knew very well that he was still early on in his journey, but he was already figuring things out.
The transformation of his willpower weakened the influence of the sounds from the mountaintop. Meng Chuan looked up, but he still couldn’t see past the clouds. He lowered his head and continued walking slowly on Fiend Mountain.
Time pa.s.sed. As he heard more and more words, Meng Chuan vaguely felt that this voice might be a formulation. However, he couldn’t hear it completely.
I’ve reached my limit. Meng Chuan stopped. The voice on the mountaintop became much clearer. The strong impact on his Essence Soul also made it impossible for him to advance. Although he had some insights, it was difficult for his mind and will to transform.
He had a feeling that he would have to perfect his Essence Soul formulation if he wanted to undergo another transformation from now on.
36,500 kilometers. This is my current limit. Meng Chuan looked up.
The path beneath his feet continued upward with the path of possession extending parallel to it.
I’ll definitely reach the mountain peak and see what’s at the top.
It was very difficult to reach the peak. From what Realm Ancestor knew, if one could reach the peak, it meant that their willpower had reached the standards of the Physical Body Eighth Tribulation realm. It was very difficult for Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences to reach the peak as well. Most Seventh Tribulation Eminences couldn’t reach the peak.
Perhaps Guild Master Fiend Eye came to Fiend Mountain to make an attempt. Perhaps he hasn’t reached the mountaintop? Meng Chuan guessed.
Meng Chuan looked around. Fiend Mountain was silent. The crazy forbidden creatures had left the mountain. At the very least, he couldn’t see a single one on the main peak.
It was time to leave!
There’s still about 20 years before the agreed upon time with Guild Master Fiend Eye. Meng Chuan was still looking forward to heading to Clear Spring Island. Following that, Meng Chuan vanished into thin air and left Fiend Mountain with a mystic technique.
…
In a valley in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.
The appearance of the white-haired Meng Chuan attracted the attention of the six cultivators in the valley.
“Imperial Lords.”
“Meng Chuan.” The cultivators in the valley bowed. At a glance, Meng Chuan saw six people. Every century, he would send cultivators back from Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. It had been 1,100 years since he brought 34 Supremacies with him. It had also been 110 years in Archean Eon Realm.
He had sent many batches of cultivators previously. Six people in this batch was considered a lot.
“Supremacy Yaoyue, are you returning this time?” Meng Chuan walked towards Bai Yaoyue.
Bai Yaoyue’s sideburns had turned white. Bai Yaoyue—who was Archean Eon Realm’s youngest and most talented Supremacy when Meng Chuan was young-was already very old. “I’ve already tried all the special lands in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm that are suitable for me.” Bai Yaoyue’s temper was much milder now. She smiled and sighed. “I’ve less than 200 years left to live. My Essence Soul is still at the sixth level. I can’t force my Essence Soul to break through. Perhaps I’ll have some hope of breaking through when I return to my hometown. If that doesn’t work… I’ll have to rely on you, Meng Chuan, to transform me into an Imperial Lord-level special lifeform.”
Meng Chuan comforted her. “After you return, you might be able to break through before the end of your lifespan. My master also broke through before the end of his lifespan.”
“Let’s hope so.” Bai Yaoyue knew very well that Qin Wu had only broken through after being stimulated by special cultivation grounds like Earth Cloud Mystic Realm’s Land of Nightmare and Secular World Painting. However, she had already tried all of these.
Meng Chuan nodded. He had promised Archean Eon Realm’s Heaven Earth Supremacies that they could be transformed into Imperial Lord-level special lifeforms. Meng Chuan didn’t care about this expenditure. This was because it was too difficult for Archean Eon Realm to produce a Heaven Earth Supremacy. “Yang Cheng, you are returning too?” Meng Chuan looked at another Supremacy. “Yes, Father-in-law.” Yang Cheng nodded. “I promised Meng You that I will return before I’m 1,500 years old.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
His daughter and son-in-law originally came to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm together. In the early stages, they roamed the mystic realm together to cultivate. However, Meng You’s improvement in strength was much slower. Furthermore, some of Earth Cloud Mystic Realm’s treasured lands took a century or two per entry. Some places allowed the strong to remain longer while the weaker ones were expelled early… Therefore, it was very difficult for Meng You to follow her husband, Yang Cheng. After cultivating in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm for 300 years, she returned first. This was because they had been separated for too long in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. After Meng You returned to Archean Eon Realm, Yang Cheng focused on his cultivation even more.
From the 34 Supremacies who originally came, only Imperial Lord Northcleanse became an Imperial Lord other than Qin Wu.
Imperial Lord Northcleanse was King Northcleanse—who had once fought alongside Meng Chuan in the World Gap. King Northcleanse had first recovered his peak vitality and became a Supremacy. After coming to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, he cultivated the entire time. He became an Imperial Lord at 1,200 years of age. It was so smooth that Meng Chuan was surprised. Meng Chuan had once imagined that King True Martial might’ve become an Imperial Lord if he had lived to this day.
Apart from the two Imperial Lords, the older generation’s Bai Yaoyue and the younger generation’s Yang Cheng were all Heaven Earth Supremacies.
Apart from them, there were no other major breakthroughs.
Among those he sent to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, the two Imperial Lords-Qin Wu and Imperial Lord Northcleanse—as well as the two Heaven Earth Supremacies, Bai Yaoyue and Yang Cheng, had benefited greatly. Even the youngest, Yang Cheng, was nearly 1,500 years old. It was very difficult for him to achieve an Essence Soul breakthrough before his death.
“Let’s go back to Archean Eon Realm.” Meng Chuan led the six of them and immediately left for Archean Eon Realm.
With Fiend Mountain as a relay point, Meng Chuan could travel much faster.
Of course, when doing the transfer at Fiend Mountain, the other six were in Meng Chuan’s grotto-heaven treasure. They couldn’t survive in Fiend Mountain’s environment.
After returning to Archean Eon Realm, Meng Chuan released the six Supremacies.
The six Supremacies were rather excited. After all, they had left their homeworld for more than 1,000 years. After bidding farewell to Meng Chuan, they quickly left.
As he watched Bai Yaoyue and company leave, Meng Chuan sighed. The path of cultivation was too difficult. For example, his wife, Liu Qiyue, had used a drop of Fire Origins Liquid—which was comparable to an Eighth Tribulation treasure-to make her bloodline pure enough to be close to that of a pure-blooded phoenix. He believed that it would be very easy for her to reach the perfected Imperial Lord realm, but that was all. To become a Tribulation Eminence? It was still difficult. Her chances of becoming a powerful Tribulation Eminence were ever slimmer.
His son, Meng An, had followed the path Ancestral Master Archean Eon had set for him since a young age. He had undergone strict cultivation and reached the Tribulation realm. However, it was becoming harder and harder for him to improve. Meng Chuan could sense that it was very difficult to find someone from his hometown with similar strength on the path of cultivation. He could only advance alone.
Just like how Ancestral Master Archean Eon had traveled alone a long time ago.
Regardless of the changes in the outside world, Meng Chuan spent the next 20 years peacefully. He also obtained the Clear Spring Token from Fiend Eye.
