“Now that the Eon Sea Sect has returned to us, the hundreds of thousands of years have proven that Archean Mountain’s path is the correct one,” said Li Guan with a smile. He walked towards the Battle God Pagoda. “I never expected that I, Li Guan, would have the chance to challenge the Battle God Pagoda before I die.”
Li Guan walked to the Battle God Pagoda.
Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan followed.
“I heard that the stone pillar in front of the Battle God Pagoda hides a ranking list,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “As long as one’s Quintessential Essence seeps into it, the ranking list will appear. The people at the top of the ranking list are famous figures in human history.” As he spoke, a wisp of Quintessential Essence seeped in.
Meng Chuan blinked. Looking at the familiar ranking…
“Supremacy Great Strength, Daoist Daybreak, Ancestral Master Archean…” As Qin Wu read the most dazzling names on the ranking, he suddenly frowned and looked at the fifth name. “Humanity’s Demon Slayer?”
“Who is Humanity’s Demon Slayer?” Luo Tang was puzzled as well. “I know everyone else in the top ten. Supremacy Great Strength created the Great Strength Fiend Body by himself. He passed the eighth level of the Battle God Pagoda as a Supremacy, and his potential is the highest in history. Daoist Daybreak is a genius that reached the Creation realm at the age of 62. He died early after entering the River of Spacetime. The two Ancestral Masters, Archean and Eon Sea, as well as Myriad Sword Island Lord, Azure Lotus Swordsman, and Imperial Lord An Yang, are the most dazzling existences in human history.”
These existences either became Imperial Lords or were monstrously talented. They created transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies; some even reached the Tribulation realm.
All of them were admired by generations of Supremacies.
Now, Humanity’s Demon Slayer had appeared in the top ten. “Humanity’s Demon Slayer?” Li Guan was puzzled.
Qin Wu turned to look at Meng Chuan. “Meng Chuan, your saber is called Demon Slayer, right?”
“I can’t hide it from you, Master,” said Meng Chuan. “I only obtained the entire Eon Sea Sect because I challenged the Battle God Pagoda and the Heart Sea Palace, passing the Eon Sea Sect’s test. I’m the fifth-ranked Humanity’s Demon Slayer.”
“It’s you?” Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan in shock. What kind of concept was it to have one’s technique realm and potential to rank fifth amongst all humans?
It was clear from the figures that ranked in the top ten.
“He’s actually ranked fifth,” Luo Tang couldn’t help but whisper. “We were blind back then. We actually failed to realize that Meng Chuan had such talent in terms of technique?”
“There are late-bloomers. Meng Chuan has been reborn, and he’s even more outstanding than before,” said Qin Wu wistfully. He then looked at Meng Chuan. “You said that you passed the Battle God Pagoda and the Heart Sea Palace, which is why you obtained everything the Eon Sea Sect has? The requirement set by the Eon Sea Sect must be very high. That’s how you obtained the Eon Sea Sect, right?” “Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded and said, “I needed to be ranked in the top five in both the Heart Sea Palace and the Battle God Pagoda. Since I’ve accomplished both things, the Eon Sea Sect was given to me. They only requested one thing from me. I can’t let the Eon Sea lineage be severed in the future.” “You need to be in the top five in the Heart Sea Palace as well?” Luo Tang phased away and appeared in front of the Heart Sea Palace. At the same time, she urged, “Qin Wu, hurry up.”
Qin Wu also arrived in front of the Heart Sea Palace. A wisp of Quintessential Essence seeped into the stone pillar.
A ranking appeared on the pillar. 1st: Humanity’s Demon Slayer
2nd: Myriad Sword Island Lord
3rd: Imperial Lord An Yang
“First in the Heart Sea Palace’s rankings?” Luo Tang, Qin Wu, and Li Guan were stunned. The three of them turned to look at Meng Chuan.
“Our Archean Mountain has actually produced such a monstrous disciple,” Luo Tang couldn’t help but whisper. When they discovered that a disciple in this era could be considered the most monstrous genius in human history, Li Guan and the other two Supremacies were excited and overjoyed. They also felt mixed emotions because they knew very well how astonishing such a monster’s growth was from history.
These people could fight Supremacies as a Regis Godfiend. It was normal for them to fight Imperial Lords as a Creation Supremacy!
Many of such geniuses had created powerful ultimate techniques and new transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies.
“We have to protect him and let him grow well,” said Li Guan via voice transmission. “As long as he has enough time, he can end this
war.”
“First in the Heart Sea Palace and fifth in the Battle God Pagoda. This is someone who has surpassed all of the human race’s seniors. He’s probably the closest to Ancestral Master Archean Eon,” said Qin Wu via voice transmission. “We have to protect a genius whose talent is infinitely approaching that of Ancestral Master Archean Eon as much as possible.”
“We’ve already given him all the defensive treasures available,” said Luo Tang via voice transmission. “What else can we do?”
“No, we haven’t done enough. We can still do better,” said Li Guan via voice transmission. The three of them discussed.
Meng Chuan didn’t know what the three Supremacies were discussing secretly.
Meng Chuan’s rankings in the Heart Sea Palace and the Battle God Pagoda were too shocking for the three Supremacies. Many of those that ranked in the top ten of both rankings-people like Myriad Sword Island Lord, Imperial Lord An Yang, and Ancestral Master Archeanbecame Imperial Lords at the very least! Supremacy Great Strength, Daoist Daybreak, and others were all extremely talented when it came to techniques. However, their Essence Soul limited them, causing them to be stuck in the Creation realm.
As for Meng Chuan, he was ranked in the top five in both two buildings. Humanity had never seen someone like him before. The person closest to him was Imperial Lord An Yang. Imperial Lord An Yang also had the closest achievements to that of Ancestral Master Archean Eon. He was an Essence Soul Third Tribulation Eminence.
“Senior Brother Li, you are too thoughtful for Meng Chuan,” said Luo Tang via voice transmission.
Li Guan sent a voice transmission. “A genius comparable to Imperial Lord An Yang, Ancestral Master Archean, and Myriad Sword Island Lord was born in our era. It’s a blessing for our era. We have to protect him. The world of cultivators depends on individual strength. The birth of a transcendent expert… Not only can they end the war, but they can also change the fate of our species forever.”
“Meng Chuan.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan and said with a smile, “The Eon Sea lineage will not cease to exist. There’s no need for you to worry. In the future, our Archean Mountain will establish the Eon Sea lineage in our sect. It will focus on Ancestral Master Eon Sea’s legacy. However, before the war ends, the Eon Sea lineage will temporarily be kept secret. We won’t announce it to the public.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Understood.” The sect established this lineage to help him resolve his karma.
“You’ve contributed greatly this time.” Li Guan smiled as he looked at Qin Wu and Luo Tang. “To be honest, after thinking about it, we really have nothing to reward you with. However, according to our Archean Mountain rules, we can’t treat our meritorious members unfairly. Therefore, we’ve discussed and made an exception… to let you be Archean Mountain’s Sect Proprietor.”
“Sect Proprietor?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.
“Right now, Archean Mountain only has Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and me as Sect Proprietors,” said Li Guan. “As long as the three of us discuss something together, we can decide on everything in the sect. Of course, we have to follow the rules left behind by our seniors. We can only make exceptions under special situations.”
“I’ll be a Sect Proprietor? There’s no need for that, right?” Meng Chuan was somewhat hesitant.
“Since it’s your responsibility, take it.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan. “You have already resolved the threat of the million demon monarchs. You have even brought back everything from the Eon Sea Sect. Your contributions have already surpassed all Supremacies in Archean Mountain’s history. Your strength is comparable to a Creation realm expert. You are qualified to be a Sect Proprietor. It isn’t just power that is granted to you, but more importantly, responsibility. You need to bear the responsibility. This means that from today onwards, no expert will shelter you from adversity. Instead, you will be the one sheltering the sect!”
I need to shelter the sect from adversity? Meng Chuan felt the additional responsibility weigh down on his shoulders. “With your growth speed, you will become the strongest tree in the sect in a few decades,” said Li Guan with a smile.
Qin Wu and Luo Tang nodded in agreement.
It was very normal for geniuses that matched Imperial Lord Anyang, Ancestral Master Archean, and Myriad Sword Island Lord to take a few decades to achieve accomplishments that matched that of Qin Wu and Li Guan.
If it took over a hundred years? That was called slow cultivation!
