After obtaining all the ultimate technique legacies of the lightning lineage, Meng Chuan still didn’t agree with Ancestral Master Archean’s choice.
These precious ultimate techniques systematically guide one’s cultivation path. They are complete cultivation methods. Although one can gain insights into the appropriate cultivation path using Imperial Lord and Tribulation-level treasures after losing the Star Cluster Building, the efficiency is still much lower. Even though true experts in the River of Spacetime create their own ultimate techniques, it’s beneficial for one to draw upon the insights contained within other ultimate techniques and absorb the wisdom of others.
Of course, Ancestral Master Archean stood at a different height from me. He was an Imperial Lord. Back then, he was the strongest expert in the human world. He might have had more profound reasons.
Ancestral Master Archean was invincible back then. He stood at the pinnacle of the human world. Not only did he have to consider the situation he was facing, but he also needed to take the distant future into account. If he only cared about his happiness, Ancestral Master Archean could have taken Archean Eon Sect’s entire heritage and left it at Archean Mountain, focusing on Archean Mountain’s development.
In fact, he carefully trod on thin ice, believing that he could be wrong.
For the sake of humanity, he couldn’t place all his eggs in one basket.
He placed bets on both sides.
Therefore, he gave the three extremely precious cornerstone treasures to the Eon Sea Sect, allowing for Ancestral Master Eon Sea and a group of experts to build the Eon Sea Sect.
Archean Mountain and the Eon Sea Sect had invincible foundations. No matter which sect succeeded, humans would still have a strong foundation. They could continue to thrive.
Jiang State Capital, afternoon.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan landed in the courtyard. Liu Qiyue
—who was flipping through books in the courtyard—had stood up and walked over. She couldn’t help but ask, “Ah Chuan, why didn’t you come back last night?”
“I was delayed,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. Back then, he was undergoing a test in the Eon Sea Sect’s grotto-heaven. “Didn’t I inform you that I was safe through the transmission token?”
Meng Chuan had prepared a transmission token for each of his family members. All of them had coded signals that could inform whether one was safe, requesting help, etc.
“But I couldn’t contact you after you sent the message,” said Liu Qiyue. “If you hadn’t informed me beforehand, I would have already sought help from Archean Mountain.”
“Don’t worry, my wife.” Meng Chuan could sense his wife’s concern. He smiled and said, “Your husband’s strength is unfathomable. I’ve even reached the Blood Droplet realm and left my blood with Archean Mountain! My life-preservation means are very strong. With the demons’ means in the human world, they can’t do anything to me.”
“Alright, alright. I know you’re impressive,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.
“By the way, I prepared a gift for you.” Meng Chuan flipped his hand and handed a colorful feathered robe to his wife. “Try it on.”
Liu Qiyue was instantly attracted by it. The power emanating from the feathered robe was extremely attractive to her. She reached out to take it and put it on. She felt the phoenix bloodline in her body resonate with the feathered robe.
“It’s called Phoenix Feather Robe. I think it suits you very well,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“The power of my bloodline can control it,” exclaimed Liu Qiyue. A phoenix phantom vaguely appeared over the Phoenix Feather Robe. This phoenix phantom also contained energy that protected Liu Qiyue. “It can protect me, and it can also release extremely powerful flames, turning my surroundings into a flame domain. Ah Chuan, I like this feather robe very much.”
Liu Qiyue happily familiarized herself with the feather robe. “Where did this come from?” Liu Qiyue snapped out of her daze and asked.
“Come, let’s talk inside,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. The Star Cluster Building would gradually be opened to Archean Mountain Regis Godfiends. There was no need to hide the matter of the Eon Sea Sect from his wife.
The next day, Meng Chuan began hunting underground demon monarchs again.
Swoosh.
Swoosh.
Deep underground, a beam of light flew at high speeds. Meng Chuan’s electromagnetic domain probed his surroundings repeatedly, and he killed all the demon monarchs he discovered. Only a few demon monarchs would be subdued by Meng Chuan and became his demon servants.
Inside a chamber of a small grotto-heaven.
“I never expected that the Godfiend that is hunting underground demon monarchs on a large scale would actually be Meng Chuan.” Through the karmic blood curse, Demon Sage Thousand Cricket could sense the young Godfiend.
Karma was most mysterious. Even a Tribulation Eminence could not completely isolate karma from themselves. They could only try their best to conceal or blur the lines.
Meng Chuan had no idea that his identity had been exposed because of karma. However, he knew that with the demons’ heritage, he had to be careful all the time.
Boom!
Thousand Thicket pushed open the door to the chamber and walked out.
Thousand Cricket came to a quiet hall and shouted, “Nine Abyss!”
Soon, Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s figure appeared on the throne in the hall. He smiled and said, “Yes?”
“I’m 90% confident of the Godfiend’s identity,” said Thousand Cricket.
“Ninety percent?” Nine Abyss frowned slightly.
“In the past, I traveled and sought out 3,000 demon monarchs across the world before casting a karmic blood curse on them,” said Thousand Cricket. “These 3,000 demon monarchs are randomly scattered around the world. Now, 205 of them have been killed. The same Godfiend killed 202 of them,” said Thousand Cricket. “I think his identity is quite certain.”
“About 200 of the 3,000 baits have died?” Nine Abyss shook his head. “This has huge repercussions. At this point in time, these few days don’t matter. Our demons will target that Godfiend with an even more powerful attack. If we get the wrong target, the consequences will be dire.”
Thousand Cricket pondered. “Actually, I’m pretty certain now. If you have any doubts, wait for another half-month.”
“Another half-month would only spell the deaths of tens of thousands of demon monarchs,” said Nine Abyss indifferently. “By the way, who was it?”
Thousand Cricket looked at him and smiled. “Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan!”
Another half-month passed.
Nine Abyss and Thousand Cricket walked side by side.
“Up to this day, 533 baits have died,” said Thousand Cricket. “Meng Chuan killed 526 of them. As you know, these demon monarchsbait-are scattered across the world. There hasn’t been any large-scale attack recently. Almost all the demon monarchs are underground. To kill over 500 cursed demon monarchs in a short month? It can’t be a coincidence!”
Nine Abyss agreed. “From the looks of it, Meng Chuan has long become a Regis Godfiend. However, he’s been hiding his status.”
“Therefore, none of you managed to find out who it was despite your investigations,” said Thousand Cricket.
The two demon sages came to a dark chamber.
In the center of the dark chamber was a pool of water.
“I’ll contact the Imperial Lord now,” said Nine Abyss.
Thousand Cricket nodded.
Boom!
The countless runes carved in the chamber glowed with silver light. A scene gradually appeared in the middle of the pool. It was Imperial Lord Starquix. Nine Abyss and Thousand Cricket bowed slightly, showing their utmost respect. “Imperial Lord, we’ve identified that Godfiend,” reported Nine Abyss respectfully.
