Archean Eon Art

Outside Jiang State Capital, on a nameless mountain.

Liu Qiyue sat cross-legged on the mountain peak with her eyes closed. She took in the evolution of the world and focused on her cultivation. Ever since her husband-Meng Chuan-entered seclusion, Liu Qiyue had been under a lot of pressure. This was because she knew that it was possible for him to fail the Tribulation Transcendence. Furthermore, Meng Chuan’s series of arrangements meant that he wasn’t completely confident.

Thus, she was worried about her husband. To prevent herself from overthinking things, all she could do was spend almost all of her time cultivating. This was because she had consumed another rare treasure-Fire Origins Liquid. It improved her bloodline until it was close to that of a pure-blooded phoenix. Her cultivation was very smooth now.

Insights into the fire lineage surged into her mind in a natural manner. Her cultivation efficiency was more than ten times faster than before. In fact, true pure-blooded phoenixes cultivated even more smoothly. Even if they didn’t cultivate diligently, they would grow naturally over time. In the end, they could easily reach the perfected Imperial Lord realm and have strength comparable to a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.

Liu Qiyue was slightly inferior, but she improved rapidly. Furthermore, she was much more diligent and serious than a pure-blooded phoenix.

Swoosh.

A figure traversed the void and appeared on the nameless mountain.

Liu Qiyue sensed something. She opened her eyes and saw Meng Chuan smiling at her.

“Ah Chuan, you’ve come out of seclusion?” Liu Qiyue stood up in pleasant surprise. “Didn’t you say that this seclusion is very important? You said you probably wouldn’t come out until the Tribulation Transcendence is over? You are now…”

Liu Qiyue was somewhat nervous.

“That’s right. I’ve already transcended the sixth Essence Soul Heavenly Tribulation,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“You succeeded?” Liu Qiyue was thrilled when she heard that. “That’s great! That’s great!”

“That’s right.” Meng Chuan nodded and smiled. “I should be spending a long time at the Sixth Tribulation realm. I can accompany you during this period of time and help Archean Eon Realm.”

Although he had the strength of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence previously, he was faced with an impending Heavenly Tribulation. There were many things that needed his attention.

Meng Chuan was even a little harsh on his descendants. This was because he felt that he had to save up more of his resources since he might’ve died during the Tribulation Transcendence.

“Now that you have transcended the tribulation, you will be of great help to Archean Eon Realm.” Liu Qiyue was rather expectant. “By the way, towards Yuan’er and the others…”

“I can slightly relax the rules now.” Meng Chuan nodded. “It’s not only them. There are also Regis Godfiends with potential. Even if they are 300 to 400 years old and their bodies are beginning to age, they can be given treasures to restore their bodies to peak vitality.”

The price of recovering one’s body to its peak was relatively low. A hundred cubes’ worth of treasures was enough. However, Archean Mountain had used these relatively cheap treasures early on. After all, Ancestral Master Archean Eon didn’t have too many of them in his reserves. Luckily, Meng Chuan could purchase them through Eternal Tower.

“What a pity for Senior Brother Wang.” Meng Chuan always felt that it was a pity that Senior Brother Wang-King True Martial—had died. Back then, Archean Eon Realm was sealed off due to the war, preventing them from heading to the outer realm. Otherwise, Archean Mountain would’ve been willing to buy a treasure that could restore King True Martial’s body to peak vitality. “Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded. “Many Regis Godfiends have sacrificed a lot for the people. They deserve some help. If they can become Supremacies, their lifespans will be much longer. They might have a chance of becoming an Imperial Lord in this lifetime.”

“It’s difficult to become a Supremacy, and the chances of becoming an Imperial Lord are even lower.” Meng Chuan shook his head gently. “However, if I send them to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, there’s a chance of them improving significantly.”

Earth Cloud Mystic Realm was an important place for Meng Chuan to nurture Archean Eon Realm’s Supremacies.

Meng Chuan accompanied his wife as he sent his other true body to Heaven and Earth Great Hall to meet the white-robed Guardian.

White fog seeped out from the walls of the hall, forming a white-robed elder.

The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan excitedly. “Meng Chuan, did you successfully transcend the tribulation?”

“Senior, you are wise,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“How am I wise? I was just making a wild guess.” The white-robed elder flipped his hand and took out a bronze mirror. There were ancient mystic patterns on the bronze mirror. When he shone it at Meng Chuan, the white-robed elder immediately understood. “Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation realm. Age 2,622. As I guessed, you’re still young. Master was much older than you when he reached the Sixth Tribulation realm back then.”

Meng Chuan also knew that he was relatively faster because he had created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique and raised it to the Fifth Tribulation realm. However, being fast for a moment didn’t mean that he would always be fast.

How many Seventh Tribulation Eminences were there in the entire River of Spacetime? From this, one could tell that most creators of Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques couldn’t reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.

“You are very young and have extraordinary potential,” said the white-robed elder with a sigh. “According to Master’s speculations, the probability of another Seventh Tribulation Eminence appearing in a middle-level world like Archean Eon Realm is negligible. Therefore, one can obtain half of his treasures as long as a sufficiently young Sixth Tribulation Eminence is born.”

“Half of his treasures?” asked Meng Chuan. “What age range is Ancestral Master Archean Eon referring to when he said sufficiently young?” “Becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence within 10,000 years is considered sufficiently young,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “You are much stronger than the standards set by Master.”Similarly, you can also know all of Master’s secrets. These secrets can only be known by you. You can’t tell outsiders, including the people closest to you,” said the white-robed elder solemnly. “According to Master’s arrangements, even if a Sixth Tribulation Eminence appears in Archean Eon Realm, many secrets can’t be touched upon. Only those who reach the Sixth Tribulation realm within 10,000 years can learn of everything.” “Oh?” Meng Chuan was curious.

Ancestral Master Archean Eon was already dead. It wasn’t easy for a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to appear in his homeworld, yet he still hid such information.

Only someone like me who has enough potential can learn about this information?

“Some Seventh Tribulation Eminences might not see what you will see today.” The white-robed elder turned his head and said, “Follow me.”

Boom!

A path opened up ahead. Meng Chuan followed the white-robed elder in.

“Since you have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm, you should understand that the entire River of Spacetime is typically controlled by Seventh Tribulation Eminences,” said the white-robed elder as he walked.

“According to my understanding, there aren’t any Eighth Tribulation Eminences in this era. There are about 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences,” said Meng Chuan.

“Even if there are Eighth Tribulation Eminences, they can’t be bothered to participate in the River of Spacetime’s internal affairs. Their sights are much further,” said the white-robed elder. “As you said, there are only 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences in this era. These 20 to 30 are the ones who control nearly all the top resources in the River of Spacetime. They are also divided into factions. Some form a single faction, while others form a faction as a pair or trio. “In the River of Spacetime, only Seventh Tribulation Eminences can form a faction,” said the white-robed elder. “One has to join a faction to enjoy the top resources. Otherwise, they won’t even have the right to touch most of the resources.”

“Oh?” Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.

After seeing Realm Ancestor’s strength, he had an inkling. It was possible for 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences to control most of the resources. For example, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had set up an array formation when he discovered Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, preventing outsiders from entering. Only by joining a faction could one enjoy the resources. Otherwise, they could forget about touching them.

“Becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence makes you one of the backbones of any top faction in the River of Spacetime,” said the white-robed elder. “If a Fifth Tribulation Eminence is not worth mentioning because there are countless of them, then Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime are few in number. Seventh Tribulation Eminences still place great importance on Sixth Tribulation Eminences. After all, they can’t split themselves infinitely. Many important places are managed by their subordinates.

“After the news of you becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence is announced, you will also be faced with the choice of joining a faction,” said the white-robed elder. “Eternal Tower itself can’t be considered a faction. It’s a very loose trading organization. There are many Seventh Tribulation Eminences inside, and all of these Seventh Tribulation Eminences have their own motives.

“Of course, Eternal Tower has a very special existence-Eye of Eternal. It’s as powerful as a Seventh Tribulation Eminence and is eternal. Even if a Sixth Tribulation Eminence of Eternal Tower doesn’t join any faction, they will be protected by it.

Meng Chuan knew this.

The Eye of Eternal wasn’t a cultivator. It was more like a special existence. It didn’t belong to any factions and was loyal to Eternal Tower. It naturally protected its core members.

“Don’t be in a hurry to choose a faction. Let’s first understand the division of factions in this era,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “There are only 20 to 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences. There are probably only a handful of truly powerful factions.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. He still didn’t know much about these factions. After all, he wasn’t privy to such information.

As a Fifth Tribulation Eminence previously, meeting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence was as difficult as ascending to the heavens since there were countless Fifth Tribulation Eminences across the River of Spacetime. Even Realm Ancestor’s summoning was due to Meng Chuan’s young age and Sixth Tribulation realm strength.

“We’ve arrived.” The white-robed elder solemnly stared at the dark land in front of him. “Master’s greatest secret—which you absolutely can’t tell a second person is that he was lucky enough to obtain an Eternal treasure.”

“Eternal treasure?” Meng Chuan was stunned. “As the name implies.” The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan. “It’s a treasure refined by an Eternal existence. This is the greatest opportunity in Master’s life. Back then, he immediately hid in Archean Eon Realm after he was lucky enough to obtain it. He never dared to announce it! He was afraid of causing endless trouble. Thankfully, an Eternal treasure is beyond time. Even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence can’t find an Eternal treasure when they search the past and future. “Come in. Come with me to see this Eternal treasure. This is because you will be the one in charge of it in the future.” The white-robed elder walked towards the dark land.

Meng Chuan held his breath and walked in.
