Archean Eon Art Chapter 572

Chapter 572 - Sweeping Clean the Three Bay River System

A blurry light descended from the hall and enveloped Meng Chuan’s basic-level Eternal Token. An eye appeared from deep within the blurry light. This eye’s pressure was much weaker than the Eye of Eternal’s. Furthermore, it didn’t project any emotions.

Meng Chuan knew very well that this eye was the river zone Eternal Tower headquarters’ artifact spirit. It was the arbiter of absolute fairness, and it also prevented members from mismanaging anything.

“Basic-level Eternal Token.” A voice echoed in the hall. “You can buy the third volume of the Void Catalog. Please wait for a few seconds.”

Meng Chuan stood there and waited.

He couldn’t tell Ta Gu and Chi Jiuxin about his use of the basic-level Eternal Token.

It was very common for people to betray their good friends for treasures. News of people breaking their promises and getting tainted with great karma often happened in the outer realm.

Not everyone was afraid of karma! Many Tribulation Eminences found it difficult to improve their cultivation. They had no hope of improving themselves further. Thus, they didn’t mind if they were tainted by karma. If they obtained treasures, they could still increase their combat strength with them! Furthermore, they could extend their lifespans and gain other benefits.

The outer realm was very cruel.

In order to become stronger, it was very common for Tribulation Eminences to kill and plunder. It would take ages for a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to accumulate treasures by only treasure hunting. If one wantonly plundered treasures and killed 10-20 Fifth Tribulation Eminences, they would typically gain over 100,000 cubes worth of treasures! Nothing was faster than plundering.

Therefore, weaker Tribulation Eminences were willing to follow experts and seek their protection.

As for Fifth Tribulation Eminences, they formed factions! For example, Meng Chuan joining Eternal Tower was equivalent to having a backer. Even so, plundering in the outer realm happened often.

A basic-level Eternal Token was enough to tempt a Sixth Tribulation Eminence! A Fifth Tribulation Eminence would go crazy for it! Given enough benefits, one could even betray Eternal Tower.

The best method was to conceal the matter. Exchanging for treasures using a basic-level Eternal Token could only be done through the artifact spirit. However, the artifact spirit wouldn’t be greedy. It was absolutely fair.

Huh? Meng Chuan looked up.

A very thick black book appeared out of thin air. This treasure had just been teleported from the Eternal Tower’s River of Spacetime headquarters.

The black book was about half the size of a person. It was about a foot thick and emitted a faint black fog. The void distorted in the black fog.

Meng Chuan reached out and received it. The book cover was pitch-black. He flipped to the first page, revealing the golden words on the black page.

When Meng Chuan read them, the words flew out and entered his eyes. He constantly flipped through the pages. There were a total of 209 pages. The words and drawings constantly flew into his eyes. After Meng Chuan flipped to the last page, the remaining golden words flew into his eyes.

When all the golden words and drawings vanished, the black book silently turned to dust and vanished.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged. His mind was filled with the contents of the Void Catalog’s third volume. He carefully read and pondered over every sentence. After cultivating for so many years, he had never realized that one sentence could contain so much profundity.

A single sentence triggered many thoughts in him.

Every sentence had to be carefully read and reflected on.

Great wisdom!

The creator of the Void Catalog dissected space from different angles. Furthermore, the ideas contained within the Void Catalog naturally extended to lightning, earth, wind, fire, and other laws. Of course, the core of the manual was still space.

This wasn’t a cultivation ultimate technique or a move.

It was purely a catalog that described the void. It mainly consisted of words and some drawings.

For just the first eight sentences, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged and meditated for more than six hours. He felt as though those eight sentences had illuminated the many areas in which he groped about in the dark.

Boom!

Many ideas surfaced in Meng Chuan’s mind. Suddenly, his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique transformed.

Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had long reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm. Its strength was comparable to a Third Tribulation technique. He had been cultivating for a long time and had accumulated experience in many areas. However, he still couldn’t elevate it to the Fourth Tribulation realm.

At that moment, many of his accumulated insights had been stirred. They transformed and reached a higher level.

Huh? Meng Chuan opened his eyes and looked at the void.

In the past, the mysterious void had countless fluctuations. Now that he had found a pattern in the countless fluctuations, they could naturally be sorted into different categories. Everything had its own rules.

After mastering a portion of the laws, his control over the surrounding void increased greatly. His range was wider and more powerful. The Void Catalog’s third volume focused on domains. Meng Chuan could clearly sense that his void domain had improved significantly.

As expected of the number one void lineage manual in the River of Spacetime. Meng Chuan was extremely excited. Every sentence is filled with infinite wisdom. My Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique broke through just by reading the first eight sentences on the first page.

Of course, this was related to his long-term accumulation.

Furthermore, I only gained some basic insights. Just these eight sentences are enough for me to keep ruminating for a long time. They extend in different directions.

A single sentence contained many viable paths. Just those eight sentences could help him improve in many aspects.

I’ll slowly study it after returning to Three Bay River System. Meng Chuan stood up and opened the hall door.

“Brother Eastcalm has been in there for so long. I wonder what he’s doing,” said Chi Jiuxin as he drank.

By his side, Ta Gu was leisurely eating snacks and drinking as he chatted. “There’s no rush. Eastcalm just joined Eternal Tower after all. He must have been stunned by Eternal Tower’s treasure vault. He probably has to buy some necessary treasures first.”

Chi Jiuxin nodded. “Eternal Tower’s treasure vault is indeed comprehensive.”

Eternal Tower naturally had countless treasures for all cultivators considering its business front.

Whoosh.

A path appeared in the void ahead. Meng Chuan walked over.

“Are you done?” Ta Gu’s eyes lit up as he stood up with a smile. Chi Jiuxin also stood up.

“I’m sorry for making the two of you wait until now,” said Meng Chuan apologetically.

Even the proud Chi Jiuxin was rather polite when he looked at the white-haired man in front of him. He had read Meng Chuan’s self-introduction in his application to join Eternal Tower. He knew that Eastcalm was a Fifth Tribulation Eminence who cultivated both his body and Essence Soul. Furthermore, he had grasped at least two Fifth Tribulation laws. Meng Chuan was considered extremely strong among Fifth Tribulation Eminences. Jiuxin wasn’t confident that he could defeat him, so he was naturally willing to befriend him.

“It took me quite some time to peruse through Eternal Tower’s entire treasure vault during my first time. I was shocked back then.”

“It’s indeed tempting, but everything is very expensive,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

Many things moved him when he first perused Eternal Tower’s treasure vault. However, when compared to the Void Catalog, very few things could tempt him. Most of the treasures were around 10,000 cubes. He couldn’t afford them with the treasures he had on him.

“Haha. The better the treasures, the more expensive they are. What do you plan on doing next, Brother Eastcalm?” asked Ta Gu with a smile. “I’m preparing to leave Goddess River Zone and head to Fuxiu River Zone. Brother Eastcalm, do you want to join me?”

“Probably not.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “I want to return to Three Bay River System. Next, I plan on building an Eternal Tower branch in Three Bay River System.”

“An Eternal Tower Branch?” Ta Gu and Chi Jiuxin exchanged looks.

“The cultivators in Three Bay River System will probably be grateful to you, Brother Eastcalm,” said Chi Jiuxin wistfully.

“That’s right. Those weak cultivators wish to have a safe trading ground,” said Ta Gu. “As for the weaker cultivators, they would probably find it difficult to leave a river system. To have an Eternal Tower branch in their river system is a great opportunity for them.”

“However, it’s not that easy to establish an Eternal Tower branch,” reminded Chi Jiuxin. “Brother Eastcalm, before you establish it, you have to sweep the factions that plunder on a large-scale in Three Bay River System clean. Make sure that Three Bay River System is within Eternal Tower’s territory.”

Ta Gu added, “It’s too easy to plunder for treasures. Many river systems have hidden experts that like to plunder. If there are a few large-scale plundering factions hiding, the Eternal Tower branch wouldn’t be able to do business properly.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

For example, Black Fiend Hall was created purely for plundering. It was considered a top faction in the River of Spacetime.

Although top factions like Shadow Lands and Ancestral Magus Realm weren’t created for plundering, they didn’t forbid their members from plundering.

As for the weaker Tribulation Eminences, there were even more who liked plundering.

“If you are only cultivating in seclusion in Three Bay River System, it naturally won’t be a big deal. However, if you want to build an Eternal Tower branch there, you have to clear out the river system,” said Ta Gu. “Let those experts, who are happy to plunder, know your name. They won’t dare to cause damage afterward.”

“Brother Eastcalm,” said Chi Jiuxin, “if you really want to build an Eternal Tower branch, you have to submit an application. Eternal Tower’s river zone headquarters will carefully investigate Three Bay River System. They will investigate and list down the various plundering factions for you. You have to clean them up. After you do so… Eternal Tower will send a branch to the place you want to set up as a base.”

“Then I’ll sweep Three Bay River System clean.” Meng Chuan nodded. He was still confident about this.
