Chapter 607 Lord Ghostink
With a flip of his hand, Meng Chuan took out the Eighth Tribulation treasure—Heart of Immeasurable.
The black-brown heart floated in the hall on the ninth floor of Eternal Tower. It expanded and contracted rhythmically.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
The sound of a beating heart echoed in the hall. Meng Chuan felt uncomfortable when he heard the sound. This was without a master controlling the treasure.
Teleport. Meng Chuan activated the item teleportation function through Eternal Tower.
Any Eternal Tower branch could teleport items.
Meng Chuan didn’t need to pay any price for the bounty. However, he needed to pay 100 cubes to teleport the item to a distant river zone.
However, be it Meng Chuan or Teng Jiuyu from Cosmos Realm, they would close the deal through Eternal Tower’s teleportation function. Firstly, it was safe. They didn’t need to worry about information leaks. Secondly, the items would be appraised by Eternal Tower. They didn’t need to worry about receiving fakes.
Of course, this was only the cost of teleporting items. The price of teleporting cultivators was much greater.
The other party accepted the bounty. According to the rules, they have to hand over the treasure within two hours. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged and waited. No one dared to accept a bounty and not hand over the treasures. If they broke the transaction rules, they would be severely punished by Eternal Tower.
Time slowly passed.
After nearly an hour, Meng Chuan felt the void distort as an item appeared out of thin air.
It’s here. Meng Chuan suppressed his excitement and stared at the item excitedly. The grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was a stone the size of a finger.
At a glance, he could see many distorted patterns on the surface. The patterns looked like ripples on the surface of a lake. When he looked at them with the naked eye, he could even vaguely sense the ripples moving. These ripples aren’t moving. It’s a distortion of spacetime. Meng Chuan quickly confirmed.
The stone remained suspended in midair. Spacetime around it changed, making it seem like it was moving. Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand? It looks very ordinary. Meng Chuan examined it. However, it has many similarities with Primordial Stones.
Primordial Stones were extremely round.
When the Power of Essence Soul viewed it with microscopic vision, a tiny particle could appear bigger than a Grand Yang Star. However, when one looked at a Primordial Stone’s surface, it remained smooth at every magnification.
This grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand is similar to Primordial Stones. It also has the Eternal characteristic. However, there are ripples on its surface. In fact, the more magnified it is, the more complicated the patterns are. Meng Chuan didn’t sense the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Punishment contained within the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. However, the more he looked at the patterns, the more he liked them.
Just like how some mortals liked flowers and grass, while others liked cats and dogs.
As a Tribulation Eminence that grasped a lightning law, Meng Chuan instinctively liked these ripples. He felt that they were more beautiful than any other painting in the world.
Zoom in. Meng Chuan used his microscopic vision to examine the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. Thankfully, there aren’t many patterns on it. When I magnify it to the size of a 5,000-kilometer-wide planet, the smallest pattern is akin to a strand of hair.
At first glance, there were many patterns. However, an Eminence like Meng Chuan could memorize all of them with one look.
If I continue zooming in, the surface of the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand grain will appear very smooth, as smooth as a Primordial Stone. Therefore, it only has more ripples than a Primordial Stone on the surface. Its color will also change. Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled. With his ability, he could only discover such tiny differences.
I’ll send it back to my homeworld. Meng Chuan didn’t think too much about it. He immediately left Thousand Mountain Star and returned to Archean Eon Realm via the River of Spacetime.
After sending the grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand to Archean Eon Realm, Meng Chuan wasn’t in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he began painting.
In the grotto-heaven where the Heaven and Earth Great Hall was located, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World enveloped the entire grotto-heaven.
Whoosh.
A huge piece of paper condensed from the void. With Meng Chuan’s current realm, his Essence Soul World could condense ordinary illusory objects into reality.
A piece of paper floated in the air as countless patterns were drawn on it. It was completed in a moment.
It’s easily drawn. Ordinary paper can depict it. Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled. He waved his hand and put away the huge piece of paper in midair. He vaguely felt that his realm was still a little low. The Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was special. There were too many things he couldn’t figure out.
I’ll begin refining the World Treasure. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on the grass. He took out a flask of fruit wine and drank two mouthfuls. After feeling his Essence Soul become much more ethereal, he released his Essence Soul World.
A huge painting enveloped the entire grotto-heaven. The painting was his Essence Soul World. However, the current painting wasn’t very compatible with his Essence Soul World.
A painting at the Fifth Tribulation realm wasn’t very compatible with an Essence Soul World that had a lightning law as its foundation.
Go. Meng Chuan threw out the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand.
Boom.
The Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand flew into the painting and landed in the middle of the painting world. It stirred up a commotion in the lightning world. Thunder rumbled as the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand transformed into a mountain.
It was a Lightning Mountain!
As expected of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up. Refining a World Treasure was completely different from refining other treasures. It used an illusory Essence Soul World as its foundation during its pursuit of perfection.
To others, a domain-type Sixth Tribulation treasure was worth hundreds of cubes.
To an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence, a World Treasure was no less important than an Eighth Tribulation treasure.
An Eighth Tribulation treasure was extremely powerful. With one, one could roam the River of Spacetime freely. They could also comprehend its profundities and probe the mysteries of spacetime. World Treasures weren’t as useful as Eighth Tribulation treasures in battle. However, they could perfectly fuse with one’s Essence Soul World, stabilizing their Essence Soul. The chances of successfully transcending a tribulation would also greatly increase. This alone was enough for Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences to put in maximum effort to refine them. This was the only useful item for an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence when it came to Tribulation Transcendence.
Every Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence would spend the effort to refine one.
Heart of Immeasurable.
In Teng Jiuyu’s cave abode in the Cosmos Realm, he looked at the expanding and contracting heart in his hand. After staring at it for a long time, he grabbed the heart and pressed it against his chest.
The black-brown heart fused with his skin and replaced Teng Jiuyu’s original heart. His original heart dissipated as energy, and his body began fusing with the black-brown heart.
Buzz!
Teng Jiuyu’s body turned illusory.
With my cultivation realm, I can barely maintain my Body of Immeasurable with the Heart of Immeasurable? Teng Jiuyu’s eyes burned. This was a good purchase! This is indeed a different application of the Immeasurable lineage. My chances of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm have increased. Presently, he was the strongest expert in the higher-level world-Cosmos Realm. In terms of talent, he was ranked in the top ten in Cosmos Realm’s long history. He reached the Tribulation realm after cultivating for 800 years. He reached the Fifth Tribulation realm in 5,000 years. He reached the Sixth Tribulation realm in 20,000 years. Even Cosmos Realm’s ruler thought highly of him and looked forward to him reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm.
With his remaining lifespan, Teng Jiuyu had a chance of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm.
The 26th year after Meng Chuan obtained the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand grain, in Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s grotto-heaven.
I succeeded. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on a towering mountain. Countless lightning bolts struck the mountain with terrifying might.
This mountain wasn’t the original mountain in Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s grotto-heaven. Instead, it was the Lightning Mountain that appeared in his Essence Soul World.
The Lightning Mountain’s entire surface is actually corporeal? Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. Furthermore, it’s more powerful than I expected. It looks like it’s related to the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand.
According to the intelligence, Meng Chuan estimated that he could use a World Treasure to manifest lightning!
For example, Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminences that cultivated fire laws could release flames from their Essence Soul World. The flames burned in all directions, and they were extremely powerful, making it one of their trump cards. Meng Chuan originally thought that he could release lightning to smite everywhere, but a Lightning Mountain appeared to his surprise. This was clearly related to the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand.
My Essence Soul is indeed much more stable than before. Meng Chuan sensed that his Essence Soul World had become much more stable after gaining an extremely compatible vessel. In the future, his endurance would be much greater when the Heavenly Tribulation struck him; his chances of transcending the tribulation would also be greater.
Although it was possible that he could successfully transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation without using a World Treasure, no one knew for sure before transcending the tribulation.
Therefore, the more prepared he was, the better.
Now that I’ve refined the World Treasure, I have to think of a way to improve my mental cultivation. Meng Chuan knew that time was tight. He couldn’t afford to waste it.
In the second year after Meng Chuan refined his World Treasure, Fu Sui sent cultivators into Fiend Mountain again. “Lord Ghostink, I’ll bring you in now,” said Fu Sui politely. Lord Ghostink stood by the side and maintained some distance from Fu Sui and the other five Tribulation Eminences. When he heard that, he only responded tersely.
Hum.
Fu Sui used a mystic technique to open the entrance.
The surrounding spacetime trembled as the surrounding darkness distorted. The distorted darkness quickly devoured Fu Sui, the eight Fifth Tribulation Eminences, and Lord Ghostink.
At the moment of devouring
Pfft!
An invisible force pushed out Lord Ghostink while Fu Sui and the eight Fifth Tribulation Eminences were sucked in.
Oh? Lord Ghostink looked around. Fu Sui and company had all disappeared.
I was pushed out. It seems like spacetime rejected me… Lord Ghostink frowned slightly. This method of controlling spacetime is too brilliant. The owner of the ruin probably disdains people replicating Fiend Mountain. Then, it’s very likely that it’s actually Fiend Mountain.
It’s really Fiend Mountain?
At that moment, Lord Ghostink’s emotions were complicated, and he felt uncomfortable. He knew that the legendary place was right before him, yet he couldn’t enter!
