The lanky man smiled as he landed in front of Meng Chuan’s cave abode.

The cave abode’s entrance silently opened. The white-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan took the initiative to welcome him.

“Brother Eastcalm, do you know me?” asked the lanky man with a smile.

“I’ve long heard of your famous name, Xiao Jiuqu. Brother Xiao, please come in.” Meng Chuan smiled as he turned to the side. He had long gathered intelligence on Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

After breaking through, Eternal Tower had provided Meng Chuan with basic intelligence on all Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Meng Chuan knew about Xiao Jiuqu very early because he was a good friend of Starlord Scarlet Snake. Any intelligence that involved Starlord Scarlet Snake would mention Xiao Jiuqu. Likewise, any intelligence on Xiao Jiuqu would definitely mention Starlord Scarlet Snake.

Meng Chuan and Xiao Jiuqu walked into the cave abode together. In front of the cave abode’s lake were a table, chairs, fine wine, and some fruits. Meng Chuan had clearly prepared them beforehand to welcome the guest.

“Oh.” Xiao Jiuqu’s nose twitched. “Good wine.”

“Try it.” Meng Chuan sat down and poured some wine for the man. Xiao Jiuqu sat down and looked at the wine in front of him. He then said, “You can probably guess why I’m here. I’m here to invite you on behalf of Centaurea Manor. You know how crazy the conflicts in the River of Spacetime are. If one doesn’t join a faction, a Sixth Tribulation Eminence alone won’t have the right to vie for the top treasures. Centaurea Manor is a faction that has the least troubles. If you don’t want to be involved in trouble, joining Centaurea Manor will be a good choice.”

“I only learned about it today.” Meng Chuan nodded as he recalled the large amount of intelligence he had read. “The conflicts are indeed crazy.”

After reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, any Eminence that came from an inhabited world could be said to be immortal.

Perhaps they would be afraid of Seventh Tribulation Eminences-afraid that they would anger one and end up being pursued. Once they appeared in the outer realm, they would be attacked. Therefore, they acted more respectful towards Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

However, if two people were both at the Sixth Tribulation realm, what was there to be afraid of? They naturally would use any means necessary to obtain the much-needed cultivation resources.

“Choosing Centaurea Manor will result in the least trouble, but plenty of resources will be open to you.” Xiao Jiuqu drank his wine. “Brother Eastcalm, think about it.”

“If I choose Centaurea Manor, will I be able to go to the Valley of Spacetime?” asked Meng Chuan.

“Valley of Spacetime?” Xiao Jiuqu looked at Meng Chuan in surprise before saying, “You should know how special the Valley of Spacetime is. I can’t give you a certain answer. A request needs to be made to the higher-ups.”

“Alright.” Meng Chuan smiled and nodded.

Xiao Jiuqu stayed for a moment before leaving.

Whoosh.

After flying off the planet, Xiao Jiuqu shot a glance at the cave abode on the tiny, bare planet. He frowned inwardly. Why doesn’t this Meng Chuan know how to appreciate favors? A newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence actually dares to request to enter the Valley of Spacetime? However, since he’s recommended by Scarlet Snake, I can’t reject him too directly. I’ll delay it for a few days before rejecting his request.

He had never thought of putting up a request to his higher-ups.

Meng Chuan had only said it casually. He didn’t believe that Centaurea Manor would agree.

Meng Chuan had a strong desire to go to the Valley of Spacetime.

To reach the Seventh Tribulation realm, his most promising goal was the Chaos Hole lawone of the Origins laws. As for comprehending the Chaos Hole law, one had to comprehend a complete spatial law first.

Although he could buy the Void Catalog’s other two volumes from Eternal Tower, it was still very difficult for him to comprehend a complete spatial law through it. After all, spatial laws represented the strongest Sixth Tribulation laws. They were stronger than two or three other types of Sixth Tribulation laws combined. Spatial laws also represented a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence’s strength.

Although Meng Chuan was confident, he knew the difficulty of comprehending spatial laws. He naturally wanted external aid. The number one treasure that aided one’s cultivation in the void lineage was the Void Trileaf Flower. Only the Valley of Spacetime produced Void Trileaf Flowers. The flowers appeared irregularly, and they would completely wither after a day had passed since they were born. Therefore, Void Trileaf Flowers had to be consumed within a day. After consuming a Void Trileaf Flower, one would become space’s most favored. One could even control space instinctively. This state would last for several years. During these few years, one’s efficiency in comprehending spatial laws would be astonishingly high. The Void Trileaf Flower was much more beneficial to one’s comprehension of spatial laws than the second-best treasure. Therefore, it caused many parties to fight over it.

The Void Trileaf Flower is a specialty of the Valley of Spacetime. If I want to obtain the Void Trileaf Flower, I have to enter the Valley of Spacetime first.

“City Lord Eastcalm, our Blood Phoenix Palace wishes to extend an invitation to you.”

“Brother Eastcalm, are you interested in joining our Yellow-Robed Academy?”

Following that, several Sixth Tribulation Eminences contacted Meng Chuan through Eternal Tower. After all, many factions were lacking in manpower. Having greater numbers gave a faction an advantage. In the competition for resources in the River of Spacetime, the various factions hoped to have more experts on their side.

Meng Chuan was also an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He had many Essence Soul avatars, making him much more useful than a Physical Body Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Therefore, even the relatively arrogant Blood Phoenix Palace and other factions took the initiative to invite him.

Meng Chuan also asked what he was expected to do and what he could obtain after joining the factions.

All parties had to compete. In fact, the fact that Meng Chuan had reached the Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation realm in 2,600 years had not been exposed. If this information was known to all, Meng Chuan would probably see a sharp increase in the number of warm invitations. The benefits they offered him would also increase significantly. However, Meng Chuan didn’t wish to expose this.

The ones who knew how long he had cultivated included the Eye of Eternal. It was the most impartial Eternal Tower administrator and wouldn’t be biased towards any faction. The other was Realm Ancestor-one of the oldest Seventh Tribulation Eminence in the universe. Hence, he naturally wouldn’t divulge anything.

As it was very difficult to kill them, the top experts in the River of Spacetime did not dare to do anything

Many Seventh Tribulation Eminences had completely fallen out with the two half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences—Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian. From this, it could be seen how terrible the conflicts were.

If Meng Chuan’s talent was exposed, he would encounter all sorts of trouble more often, even though the invitations from factions would greatly increase in number. Even top Eminences would be jealous of his talent. It would be very normal for them to destroy Meng Chuan’s opportunities deliberately. For example, it would be normal for them to join forces and beat Meng Chuan to the punch when vying for the Void Trileaf Flowers in the Valley of Spacetime.

Wind damaged the flourishing trees in the forest; people found fault with the capable.

After all, Meng Chuan had just advanced to the Sixth Tribulation realm. He had only grasped one lightning law. His strength was considered ordinary among Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Hence, it was best to keep a low profile.

If he grasped a complete spatial law one day, he would have a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence’s strength. He would even be able to fight a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence. At that time, it wouldn’t matter if he showed off his prowess.

If he wanted to show off his prowess, he had to have the ability to do so. Currently, it was better for him to keep a low profile.

“Brother Eastcalm, in terms of strength, our Ancestral Magus Realm is second only to White Avian Hall and Six Directions Heaven,” said a purple-robed man warmly. He had gray scales on his head and two small snakes wrapped around his ears. “In terms of physical body cultivation, our Ancestral Magus Realm is ranked first. We have also collected quite a number of Essence Soul cultivation techniques.”

“Brother Zuo, I naturally know about the Ancestral Magus Realm’s fame.” Meng Chuan nodded.

Six Directions Heaven was the faction established by Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. White Avian Hall was naturally established by Hall Lord White Avian.

These era’s two most dazzling existences were considered relatively young among the current Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

Before they rose to prominence…

The strongest Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminences were led by Ancestral Magus King, an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

Ancestral Magus King had obtained an Eternal legacy, the Magus lineage, and established Ancestral Magus Realm. His physical body was the strongest among Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminences. However, after Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star rose to prominence, he was overshadowed. After all, the two of them were half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

“I’m very interested in the Valley of Spacetime.” Meng Chuan looked at the other party. “I wonder if there’s any hope of entering? I heard that Ancestral Magus Realm occupies quite a large territory.”

After all, the Ancestral Magus Realm was the strongest faction in the past. They had a first-move advantage, allowing them to occupy a large territory.

Six Directions Heaven and White Avian Hall each occupied about 30% of the Valley of Spacetime’s land. Ancestral Magus Realm occupied 20% of the Valley of Spacetime, while the other factions occupied a small percentage.

“Valley of Spacetime?” The purple-robed man frowned and looked at Meng Chuan. “It’s not impossible, but you should know that time and space are core to cultivation. Too many people want to comprehend spatial laws, and all of them want to go to the Valley of Spacetime. You have to join Ancestral Magus Realm and accumulate credit first. With enough credit, you will naturally have your turn.”

“Alright, I’ll think about it,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“Alright, consider it carefully. In terms of heritage, our Ancestral Magus Realm isn’t much inferior to White Avian Hall and Six Directions Heaven.” The purple-robed man stood up. “If you go to White Avian Hall or Six Directions Heaven, you will most likely be one of their most ordinary members. You won’t be valued at all.”

Meng Chuan didn’t say anything else and sent him off.

Swoosh.

The purple-robed man flew away, still rather dissatisfied. He originally believed that Ancestral Magus Realm was attractive enough to succeed in inviting Meng Chuan.

Requesting for entry into the Valley of Spacetime immediately? Do you think you are worthy when you’re just a newly-advanced Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence? The purple-robed man was rather disdainful. If it weren’t for the fact that he would receive credit for successfully inviting Meng Chuan, he wouldn’t have bothered coming.
