<h4>Chapter 709: Returning to the Fiend Mountain Path</h4>
Meng Chuan appeared out of thin air in the ancient Fiend Mountain world. He looked up at the towering mountain as three paths extended toward the mountaintop.
<i>The more I cultivate, the more I find an Eighth Tribtion Eminence unfathomable.</i> Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. <i>The difference between a Seventh Tribtion Eminence and an Eighth Tribtion Eminence is clearly only one tribtion... However, one’s order in life and strength are intrinsically transformed in this one tribtion. It’s extremely difficult for Seventh Tribtion Eminences like us to reach the peak of Fiend Mountain, which was left behind by its owner.</i>
The factions created by Eighth Tribtion Eminences—such as Eternal Tower, Neb Pce, ck Fiend Hall, and so on—couldst for endless years. Eternal Tower’s Eye of Eternity could maintain the strength of a Seventh Tribtion Eminence and live for billions of years. The Eye of Eternity... was only left behind by the owner of Eternal Tower.
Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor had transformed their bloodlines, allowing generations of pure-blooded dragons and pure-blooded phoenixes to have the strength to match a Fifth Tribtion Eminence at adulthood.
Meng Chuan had even ‘seen’ the scene of Dragon Ancestor opening up a universe. There was also the well-known Transcendence of Samsara, which allowed them to jump out of the timeline and head to other universes and high-level worlds... All sorts of means were unimaginable to Seventh Tribtion Eminences like Meng Chuan andpany.
<i>When I was weak, I knew that a Fifth Tribtion Eminence could be said to have an undying body in their homeworlds. As long as an Eighth Tribtion Eminence doesn’t appear, no Eminence in this era can kill a Fifth Tribtion Eminence across worlds. But after bing a Seventh Tribtion Eminence and learning a lot of information, I realized that an Eighth Tribtion Eminence could kill a Seventh Tribtion Eminence, even if they hide in their homeworld.</i>
<i>This is because a homeworld’s protection stems from thews of space and time.</i>
<i>As for Eighth Tribtion Eminences, they have transcended the River of Spacetime. They fully understand thews of spacetime’s restrictions.</i> After Meng Chuan broke through, Hall Lord White Avian gave him more detailed information. Only then did he learn about this. The information mostly involved Eighth Tribtion Eminences.
This was because the ones they revered the most at their level were Eighth Tribtion Eminences.
The operation involving thews of spacetime seemed supreme. However, in the eyes of Eighth Tribtion Eminences, it was also a sieve. For example, the universe was originally meant to stop all Chaos creatures, but the owner of Fiend Mountain had opened up the Chaos Turbid River. It connected the universe to the outside, permanently guiding Chaos creatures (forbidden creatures) along the Chaos Turbid River to the universe.
For example, the strongest Eighth Tribtion Eminence, Dragon Ancestor, had opened up a universe. His understanding of thews of spacetime operations would only be more ludicrous.
<i>The path of cultivation is long. I need to be patient and resolute.</i> From this point, Meng Chuan felt that Lord of Li Rainbow was worthy of admiration. To be able to cultivate the temporalw to such a profound level without being distracted byprehending a second Originsw... He would’ve long reached the top of the Seventh Tribtion realm.
Although he felt that Lord of Li Rainbow was worthy of admiration for giving up on improving his strength and focusing on thews of time, Meng Chuan clearly wouldn’t learn from him.
He had mastered the talent move, Heaven Splitting de. After transcending the tribtion, mastering the Heaven Splittingw naturally took top priority.
When hebined the Chaos Holew and the Heaven Splittingw, his various means would truly be diverse. Only then would he be a true top-notch Seventh Tribtion Eminence. With the two opposing Originsws as his foundation, he could then study time... This was the path Meng Chuan had set his mind on.
<i>Whoosh.</i>
Meng Chuan stepped onto the path of the mind and flew along it. He soon arrived at the spot where he had previously stopped—36,500 kilometers.
<i>The altitude of 36,500 kilometers is now much easier for me.</i> Meng Chuan listened to the mountaintop’s voice without feeling any pressure.
After mastering an Originsw and creating the Painting World formtion to condense a painting Essence Soul, his mind and will had clearly improved greatly. However, the mountaintop’s voice no longer had a tempering effect on his Essence Soul.
Meng Chuan walked step by step, covering a distance of about one kilometer with each step. He soon arrived at a distance of 40,000 kilometers.
<i>Forty thousand kilometers; here, the three pathsbine?</i> Meng Chuan saw that the path he took and the path of possession had ultimatelybined into one. The three paths of Fiend Mountainpletely merged into one at a distance of 40,000 kilometers.
After reaching 40,000 kilometers, Meng Chuan pondered for a moment before taking a step and walking into thebined path.
<i>Boom!</i>
Meng Chuan sensed a Sixth Tribtion creature. It was an alien creature bathed in mes. The alien creature was using mes to refine a ck sledgehammer; Meng Chuan felt as though he had be this alien creature.
<i>On the path of possession, the Sixth Tribtion Eminences that people possess have all broken through via the path of epiphany.</i> Meng Chuan knew this. <i>In history, none of those who reached the Sixth Tribtion realm through the path of epiphany ended up well. Their paths were wed, and this alien lifeform also had ws in his cultivation. His Dao of Fire was too ferocious; it is fine if he used it forbat, but if he used it to cultivate his body, it would only make him even more ferocious and crazy. He would slowly sumb to madness.</i>
After reaching the Seventh Tribtion realm, Meng Chuan understood why Fiend Mountain’s path of epiphany was so wed.
Everything happened too easily and quickly! In an epiphany, arge number of insights constantly gathered and rapidly umted to form a Sixth Tribtionw. Without experiencing the elements or experiencing arge number of setbacks, one didn’t even have the time to verify their newfound insights repeatedly.
Yet, they figured something out? If that was the case, it would be a miracle if they couldprehend a wless Sixth Tribtionw. And reality proved this point—all the Sixth Tribtion Eminences that had walked the path of epiphany in history had ws.
Meng Chuan shook his head slightly and continued taking a step forward to possess another Sixth Tribtion Eminence.
Meng Chuan walked very slowly as he carefully experienced the Sixth Tribtion Eminences’ paths.
Although all these paths were wed, they were all Sixth Tribtionws. They were part of the cirction of time and space, other than not matching cultivation fundamentals. With Meng Chuan’s realm, he could still gain something by analyzing them from a higher vantage point.
Three yearster.
When Meng Chuan reached 45,000 kilometers, the possession ended. Meng Chuan felt that he had gained something and broadened his horizons.
<i>I had the slight effect of being tempered.</i> Meng Chuan continued walking. The sounding from the mountaintop became louder. He could hear aplete sentence, but he couldn’t understand the meaning.
Theplete sentence dealt an even greater blow to his Essence Soul.
Most Physical Body Seventh Tribtion Eminences found it difficult to reach 45,000 kilometers. As an Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion Eminence, Meng Chuan also felt the impact despite having created an Essence Soul formtion for himself.
<i>Boom!</i>
The painting Essence Soul felt the sound strike again and again, but the painting Essence Soul was amodative. No matter how strong the impacts were, it still amodated them.
46,000 kilometers, 46,500 kilometers, 47,000 kilometers, 47,500 kilometers... Meng Chuan walked slower and slower. As more and moreplete sentences sounded, the impact became more terrifying. Each sentence constantly reverberated in Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul.
<i>At 45,000 kilometers, I still found it rtively easy. But the closer I get to the mountaintop, the stronger the impact.</i> At that moment, Meng Chuan could vaguely see the mountaintop.
Amidst the fog, the mountaintop was vaguely visible. However, the sound on the mountaintop was already as loud as rumbling thunder. It resounded in his Essence Soul, causing it to rumble. Meng Chuan felt his Essence Soul blur from the impact.
<i>This is the limit of my lucidity.</i> Meng Chuan stopped. <i>49,500 kilometers.</i>
Although he could vaguely see the mountaintop, he was clearly stillcking by that tiny bit.
Reaching the peak meant that his willpower had reached the threshold of the Physical Body Eighth Tribtion realm.
As for the Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion realm, the willpower and mind requirement was much higher!
<i>The main part of walking Fiend Mountain’s path this time was about possessing more than 10,000 Sixth Tribtion Eminences. My understanding of all things in space and time has been enriched. It’s helpful for my study of the 3,000 illusory arrays. My willpower hasn’t improved at all.</i> Meng Chuan was already prepared.
At his level of mind and willpower, improving his willpower mainly depended on him perfecting his Essence Soul formtion.
...
After leaving Fiend Mountain, Meng Chuan continued to focus on studying the 3,000 illusory arrays. Every improvement in his array formation attainments was reflected in the structure of his Essence Soul world.
Finally, 103 years after mastering the Chaos Holew, the Heavenly Tribtion descended again—just as Meng Chuan had expected.
