<h4>Chapter 711: Dispute</h4>
In a hall in Neb Pce, White Avian Hall’s territory.
“Eastcalm, take a seat.” The gray-robed, skinny Hall Lord White Avian sat in the main seat of honor.
Meng Chuan sat down as well.
There were a total of five Eminences in the hall. Apart from Meng Chuan, there were Hall Lord White Avian, Lord of Shadowfiend, Deputy Hall Lord zing Sun, and Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon. Although White Avian Hall still had other Seventh Tribtion Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribtion Eminences, these four formed White Avian Hall’s core.
They were nning to include Meng Chuan. This was because Meng Chuan hadn’t established any factions. He was also an Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion Eminence, so he could be of great use.
Lord of the East Abyss, Pce Lord Food God, Lord of Shadows, Sect Master Mental Demon, and Mountain Lord Moxie each had their own factions! Their rtionship with White Avian Hall was more of a cooperative one.
“Congrattions, Eastcalm, on transcending the Heavenly Tribtion,” said Hall Lord White Avian with a smile. “From now on, whatys ahead remains vast. There’s no need to worry about the Heavenly Tribtion for a long time.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan smiled as well. “Ever since I became a Tribtion Eminence, the repeated Heavenly Tribtions have made me rather nervous. I can rx now; I probably won’t be able to see my eighth Essence Soul Tribtion before I die.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Eighth Tribtion Eminences also cultivate from the Seventh Tribtion realm. If seniors can seed, why can’t we? Cultivation requires great determination. If one doesn’t even have determination, there’s no hope of them reaching the Eighth Tribtion realm.”
“Hall Lord is right,” said Meng Chuan immediately, but he muttered inwardly. <i>I’m just being humble. I can’t just im that I will reach the Eighth Tribtion realm, right?</i>
Furthermore, ording to what he knew, it was indeed extremely difficult to reach the Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion realm. The first obstacle was grasping thews of space and time to reach the half-step Eighth Tribtion realm. There were no half-step Eighth Tribtion Eminences in many eras.
It was actually very rare for two half-step Eighth Tribtion Eminences to exist in this era. It wasn’t easy to clear the first obstacle.
The second trial was one’s willpower! If one’s willpower was strong enough, their Essence Soul World could withstand thews of spacetime’s evolution. This was extremely difficult. ording to the intelligence, it was much harder than cultivating a Physical Body Eighth Tribtion realm body.
The third trial was to transcend the tribtion. There was no intelligence on the eighth Essence Soul Tribtion.
When Meng Chuan said that it would probably be very difficult for him to see the eighth Essence Soul Tribtion before his death, he was, on the one hand, being humble. On the other hand, he wanted to see the eighth Heavenly Tribtion. This meant that he had passed the first two stages—his Essence Soul World could withstand the evolution of the spacetimews.
After passing the first two trials, apart from not transcending the final tribtion, one’s true strength was already at the Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion realm!
<i>Why do I feel like Hall Lord values my cultivation more than me?</i>
“Eastcalm,” said Lord of Shadowfiend. “You are still young; you have only cultivated for 7,000 years. You canpletely be a half-step Eighth Tribtion Eminence in 20,000 to 30,000 years like Hall Lord. After that, you can attempt to reach the Eighth Tribtion realm.”
Meng Chuan smiled. <i>Hall Lord’s cultivation speed is very terrifying. Strictly speaking, can I reach the half-step Eighth Tribtion realm before 30,000 years?</i>
“Let’s talk business,” said Hall Lord White Avian as he looked at zing Sun.
zing Sun nodded slightly and said, “Now that Eastcalm has reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion realm, he can take up more resources.”
<i>Take up resources?</i> Meng Chuan’s heart stirred. He knew that almost all the precious resources in the River of Spacetime had been monopolized by Seventh Tribtion Eminences! The reason why Sixth Tribtion Eminences submitted to Seventh Tribtion Eminences was that they hoped to gain some of the leftover benefits from Seventh Tribtion Eminences.
<i>I have to take up some resources! These could be Archean Eon Realm’s heritage in the future.</i>
<i>Whoosh.</i>
zing Sun waved his hand, and a Spacetime Dominion Map appeared in front of him. Many areas in the Spacetime Dominion Map shimmered.
“All the resources that are rtively easy to obtain in the River of Spacetime have now been taken.” Deputy Hall Lord zing Sun pointed at a branch of the River of Spacetime. “For example, the most famous Star Sand River.
“Star Sand is the best material for refining Tribtion Charms. upying Star Sand River and trading Star Sand is an easy business. Now, more than 80% of Star Sand River is upied by Pce Lord Snow Rainbow and Court Lord Yellow Shirt. The two of them fight perennially.”
“Do the other Seventh Tribtion Eminences not vie for it?” asked Meng Chuan.
“In terms of background and backing, Peach Mountain’s owner is the strongest in the entire River of Spacetime,” said zing Sun. “After that, it’s Pce Lord Snow Rainbow and Court Lord Yellow Shirt. Peach Mountain’s owner upies Peach Mountain, so no one dares to spy on him. Pce Lord Snow Rainbow and Court Lord Yellow Shirt mainly upy Star Sand River... Since Star Sand River is toorge, they only upy 80% of it.”
“What background and backer does he have?” The information that Meng Chuan had previously obtained was vague.
“The intelligence I previously gave you was very detailed,” said Hall Lord White Avian, “but I didn’t borate on it; it’s regarding an Eighth Tribtion Eminence. I didn’t want to distract you before you transcended the tribtion.”
<i>Eighth Tribtion realm?</i> Meng Chuan’s heart stirred.
“Ever since the universe was born, dozens of Eighth Tribtion Eminences have been born in the River of Spacetime,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Although some of them are already difficult to investigate, and even their intelligence ispletely hidden, some Eighth Tribtion Eminences have proactively left behind their factions. For example, Eternal Tower, Neb Pce, ck Fiend Hall, and so on. Many of the traces left behind by these Eighth Tribtion Eminences leave a profound impact on our River of Spacetime.”
Azure Dragon said, “The reason why Peach Mountain’s owner is said to have a strong backer is because he has cracked a difficult problem that Dragon Ancestor was troubled with. The Ancestor was rather delighted and permitted him three requests of his aid.”
“Even if our dragons’ Sixth Tribtion Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribtion Eminences die in battle, the Ancestor won’t care. Only Seventh Tribtion dragons can obtain some favoritism.” Azure Dragon sighed. “Instead, it’s an outsider that managed to get the Ancestor to take action three times.”
Meng Chuan understood.
Why was no one willing to offend Peach Mountain’s owner? If Peach Mountain’s owner invited Dragon Ancestor to appear in this era, who could stop him?
“The owner of Peach Mountain only upies Peach Mountain, a treasurend in the universe. He calls himself Peach Mountain Owner. He cultivates in seclusion and doesn’t interfere in any matters. He has never asked my Ancestor for help.” Azure Dragon thought somewhat highly of him. “He could’ve obtained more, but he was satisfied after upying Peach Mountain.”
“Peach Mountain Owner, Pce Lord Snow Rainbow, and Court Lord Yellow Shirt all have Eighth Tribtion Eminences backing them. The Eighth Tribtion Eminence behind Court Lord Yellow Shirt is from another universe,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Perhaps very few Seventh Tribtion Eminences have seen an Eighth Tribtion Eminence before, but it’s very difficult for them to get an Eighth Tribtion Eminence to help. Most Seventh Tribtion Eminences... have never seen an Eighth Tribtion Eminence before.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon had only seen an Eighth Tribtion Eminence once in his life.
“There are many treasurends in the River of Spacetime. Apart from Star Sand River and Peach Mountain having no disputes, most of the other ces are in dispute.” Deputy Hall Lord zing Sun pointed at the spots where the Spacetime Dominion Map shimmered. “Seventh Tribtion Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribtion Eminences are involved. Some have at least two or three fighting for it, up to as many as ten parties.”
Meng Chuan looked at the map carefully.
Light shed on the Spacetime Dominion Map. Upon closer inspection, he could sense arge amount of information.
In the past, he only knew about how often Seventh Tribtion Eminences fought for resources. Only today did he truly understand the details.
Meng Chuan could vaguely tell that White Avian Hall and Six Directions Heaven were the tworgest factions. They infiltrated everywhere, and both sides collectively upied more than half of the resources. The other Seventh Tribtion Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribtion Eminences each upied many areas.
“Take a closer look,” said zing Sun. “Eastcalm, you are an Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion Eminence. You should upy a treasurend that matches your strength. By the way, Realm Ancestor said that he would give you a treasurend once you reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion realm.”
“Realm Ancestor’s gift?” Meng Chuan was astonished.
“Instead of calling it a gift, the upation will still depend on you,” said zing Sun. “Realm Ancestor is old. Over the past few years, he has been trying to transfer the treasures he upied to his good friends. However, Hall Master Nightmare from ck Fiend Hall isn’t convinced. He took action and forcefully snatched it, causing Realm Ancestor to fight him. Many Seventh Tribtion Eminences were involved in this. Realm Ancestor’s Essence Soul avatars upy too many resources, so many people covet them.”
