Eighth Tribulation Eminence? Meng Chuan’s heart trembled. If he had taken another step forward, wouldn’t he be at the Ninth Tribulation realm, Eternal?
The black-robed, long-browed elder sighed. “As a Regis Godfiend, you haven’t left the human world. You might not understand what it means to be an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. The further one cultivates, the harder it is to break through. A Sixth Tribulation Eminence is enough to make many worlds tremble in fear. Many Imperial Lords travel the River of Spacetime. The strongest existence they may see in their lives is a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. They might not even be able to see one.”
Meng Chuan was secretly astonished.
An Imperial Lord’s lifespan was long. To not see a Sixth Tribulation Eminence while traveling the River of Spacetime showed how rare they were.
“As for a Seventh Tribulation Eminence? They’re legends! It’s a symbol of invincibility!” said the black-robed elder. “Such invincibility makes worlds revere them no matter where they go. As for Eighth Tribulation Eminences? This is the strongest expert that Ancestral Master Archean Eon has managed to come into contact with,” said the black-robed, long-browed elder. “They have unimaginable powers. They are even restricted by the laws of spacetime. They are only one step away from reaching the Eternal realm. Seventh Tribulation Eminences willingly follow them, hoping to receive some guidance from them.
“Ancestral Master Archean Eon was stuck at a bottleneck. He didn’t manage to break through to the Eighth Tribulation realm even at his death bed,” said the black-robed, long-browed elder. “All his life, Ancestral Master Archean Eon only saw one living Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Follow me.” The Guardian walked towards the Heart Sea Palace and entered the hall. Meng Chuan followed.
Inside the Heart Sea Palace, Meng Chuan felt the void change as he entered a chamber.
Oh? A palm-sized white sphere floated in the chamber. With Meng Chuan’s eyesight, he could tell that the white sphere’s structure was exquisite. It had billions of tiny, incalculable structural formations.
The moment he saw the white sphere, Meng Chuan was dazed.
He felt like every structural formation he saw with the naked eye was filled with endless charm. The entire white sphere was even larger than the entire human world he knew. At that moment, all he felt moved. When he saw the ‘greatness’ that far exceeded the world, he instinctively felt touched.
Swoosh.
A beam of light shot out from the white sphere and into Meng Chuan’s glabella. Meng Chuan couldn’t resist it, nor could he block it. The stream of light fused with his sea of consciousness.
Meng Chuan’s consciousness entered an illusory world.
In the illusory world, there were grasslands, slick-looking buildings, and a silver-haired, blue-eyed elder.
He had two feelers on his forehead. He smiled at Meng Chuan. “My name is Fei Yu. I’m already at the end of my lifespan. Although I haven’t achieved Eternal, I’m still very satisfied. I’ve traveled the River of Spacetime and explored 37 Universes. I’ve seen too many sights. The only thing I can’t let go of is my hometown, the Fei Yu World. Although I’ve tried my best to raise my homeworld to a higher-level world, there are still powerful Tribulation Eminences eyeing everything I leave behind. They eye my homeworld.
“The legacy I left behind is my magnum opus. If you study it, you will form a karmic tie with me. In the future, once you reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, you must protect my Fei Yu World for 100,000 years. Either that or you will give a World Tree to the Fei Yu World to resolve the karma. If you remain below the Eighth Tribulation realm, you won’t be able to find the Fei Yu World anyway,” said the silver-haired, blue-eyed elder with a smile.
Eighth Tribulation realm?
That was too far away from him.
“My greatest cultivation achievement was limited by the River of Spacetime. It’s difficult to describe it in words. Therefore, I hid the legacy in a painting. There are a total of 29 paintings. They are called the Essence Soul Stars.
“You can see the paintings, but what you figure out depends on yourself,” said the elder with a smile. “When I was alive, I taught 12 disciples. Their insights into the paintings were different. Some were similar to mine, while others were completely different. It’s interesting. Among these 12 disciples, the one with the greatest accomplishments had diametrically opposite insights to mine.”
Following that, the illusory world dissipated as the silver-haired, blue-eyed elder vanished.
Huge paintings merged with Meng Chuan’s memories.
The first painting was a vast, desolate star. It emanated an ancient and profound intent. This was a three-dimensional, vast, desolate star. It was as though a real star was in front of him. The runic patterns in the painting were faintly discernible. It even produced variations. By comprehending the runes, one could understand many mysteries. The second painting was still a star, but it was even more profound.
One painting after another.
Each of the 29 paintings was a star! The further one progressed, the more profound the painting became.
Meng Chuan barely understood the first nine paintings. The ninth painting was divided into nine void layers. The different void layers corresponded to different stars. Combined, it became a complete void star.
As for the rest?
He didn’t understand anything!
For example, the last painting was apparently a star. Meng Chuan felt a boundless intent rush towards him. It was even vaster than the purple lightning that tore through the River of Spacetime. If this star appeared in reality, his Essence Soul would probably be reduced to dust silently with a single glance at it.
“After passing the Heart Sea’s test, you can comprehend the Essence Soul Star. With a fifth-level Essence Soul, you can study the first three paintings. Make sure not to study the fourth painting. With a sixth-level Essence Soul, you can study the first six paintings. With a seventh-level Essence Soul, you can study the first nine paintings. At the Essence Soul Tribulation realm… study as much as you can.”
After seeing the 29 paintings, information surged into his mind. They simply introduced the rules of the cultivation technique.
If one’s Essence Soul realm wasn’t high enough, forcefully studying it would be harmful and useless.
Passing the Heart Sea test? From the looks of it, the Heart Sea Palace’s test was set up by this mighty ancient figure named Fei Yu? It was used by Ancestral Master Archean Eon to test juniors. That’s right. Ancestral Master Archean Eon doesn’t have good Essence Soul cultivation talent. How can he test the potential of his juniors’ Essence Souls?
Meng Chuan first studied the first painting.
Runes constantly appeared on the three-dimensional star painting as they kept changing
As he studied the runic patterns and looked at the star painting, Meng Chuan gradually gained some insights. After all, the basics were relatively simple. There were runic patterns that appeared directly. In the later stages, there were no runic patterns. Therefore, what disciples comprehended depended on themselves. They might even have completely different insights than Eminence Fei Yu.An Essence Soul can be directly cultivated? Meng Chuan was secretly astonished.
After some thought, he came to such a realization. This was also the core of this legacy.
The mystic technique Archean Mountain taught me back then relied on using the physical body and Quintessential Essence to nurture one’s soul and Essence Soul. However, this Essence Soul Star technique is far more exquisite. It uses one’s original Essence Soul as its foundation and slowly improves it.
This is raised based on a ratio. Therefore, the stronger one’s Essence Soul is, the greater the increase. At later stages, the improvement speed becomes more terrifying.
Meng Chuan carefully studied it. Basic mastery is achieved when one can completely change the structure of their Essence Soul. Amazing, truly wonderful. There are still killer moves hidden in this cultivation technique.
Meng Chuan was intoxicated.
Due to the detailed guidance of the runic patterns in the first few paintings, the disciples had similar cultivation results to that of Senior Fei Yu. Only when one reached the middle or late stages would there be bigger differences.
Meng Chuan only spent two hours studying the first painting. He was extremely impressed by Eminence Fei Yu.
