<h4>Chapter 740: Bottleneck</h4>
“I’ve also checked through my dragon race’s records,” said Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon. “Hall Lord’s injuries were caused by an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence. It’s very difficult to treat them.”
“There are only two ways to treat it by relying on external forces,” exined Hall Lord White Avian with a smile. “The first way is to get the help of a legendary Eternal existence. Eternal existences are omnipotent, so it’s naturally easy for them to treat me. The second way is to get the help of an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence. They will be able to expel the alien power left behind by another Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence in my Essence Soul.”
“Can’t you find an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence?” asked Meng Chuan.
Since Hall Lord could invite Perfected Lord Crimson Peace to take action, perhaps he could think of a way to contact an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence.
“Eastcalm,” said Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon, “the universe is vast and endless. The distance between universes is extremely great. Even an Eighth Tribtion Eminence will take a long time to travel. Furthermore, Eighth Tribtion Eminences have their own cultivation ns. asionally, they will sleep for billions of years or even longer.
“It’s very difficult for an Eighth Tribtion Eminence to encounter another Eighth Tribtion Eminence. It’s even harder to find an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence. Even if we do find one, an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence won’t be willing to spend a long time rushing to our universe just to treat Hall Lord.”
“The most pragmatic method is to find an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence in our universe.” Azure Dragon shook his head. “However, it’s already difficult to seek an audience with an Eighth Tribtion Eminence. We can’t do anything to seek an audience with an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence from our universe.”
“There are very few Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminences born in our universe,” said Hall Lord White Avian with a sigh. “The difficulty of seeking an audience with an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence is more than a hundred-fold harder than seeking an audience with a Physical Body Eighth Tribtion Eminence.”
It was too difficult.
There were ultimately dozens of Physical Body Eighth Tribtion Eminences. Although most of them had gone into hibernation, some were still rtively active.
For example, Dragon Ancestor, ck Fiend Ancestor, and Fiend Mountain’s owner—who were concerned about their home universe—often appeared.
None of the Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminences often appeared!
It wasn’t that Hall Lord White Avian hadn’t trieding up with solutions, but many of them didn’t work. It was too difficult to meet an Essence Soul Eighth Tribtion Eminence.
“Although Myriad Star has cultivated for slightly longer than me, he isn’t affected by injuries. After 50,000 to 60,000 years, I will die because of my injuries. If I don’t have a half-step Eighth Tribtion Eminence presiding over the array formation, Myriad Star will escape when the timees,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Once hees out, Myriad Star—who only has tens of thousands of years left—will definitely be even crazier. The harm he will cause will probably be much more terrifying than now.”
Everyone present nodded.
“Meng Chuan.” Hall Lord White Avian looked at Meng Chuan and said solemnly, “It’s up to you. Before I die, be a half-step Eighth Tribtion Eminence and help me take over this array formation.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
He respected Hall Lord very much. Furthermore, Hall Lord had sacrificed too much to resolve the scourge that was Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
One could imagine the price of hiring Perfected Lord Crimson Peace, an Eighth Tribtion Eminence.
White Avian also assigned his only outer realm true body to constantly guard this ce. The price for destroying most of his future in cultivation was even greater.
He believed that Celestial Thearch Myriad Star would definitely give Hall Lord White Avian arge number of benefits if thetter showed any mercy. Furthermore, the former could promise not to attack any of Hall Lord White Avian’s factions.
In this River of Spacetime, many high-level worlds—including Peach Mountain’s owner—were just sitting on the fence! However, Hall Lord White Avian paid a huge price to suppress Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. This saved the lives of countless living beings in the inhabited worlds.
“I will definitely cultivate with all my might and rece you as soon as possible, Hall Lord,” said Meng Chuan.
Hall Lord White Avian nodded.
“It’s such a shame. Dragon Ancestor promised Peach Mountain’s owner that he would help him three times,” said zing Sun indignantly. “But no matter how we persuade him, Peach Mountain’s owner refuses to help.”
“You can’t me him.” Hall Lord White Avian shook his head. “Everyone knows of Dragon Ancestor’s promise. No one is willing to be enemies with Peach Mountain’s owner. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star naturally has long tried to befriend Peach Mountain’s owner. Since they have intertwined karmic ties, Peach Mountain’s owner naturally won’t attack Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.”
“A long game,” Lord of Shadowfiend said.
Meng Chuan nodded.
Myriad Star had tried to rope him in as well. Even he would probably have karmic ties with Myriad Star if he hadn’t joined White Avian Hall and stood on the opposing side.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star would definitely spend more effort on befriending Peach Mountain’s owner. After all, Dragon Ancestor’s promise to Peach Mountain’s owner threatened Myriad Star’s ns.
...
In a dark chamber, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat cross-legged, his eyes cold.
<i>White Avian is really crazy. He would rather have an outer realm true body spend time with me and destroy more than half of his cultivation future.</i> Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was rather aggrieved and indignant. He had also offered Hall Lord White Avian many conditions, but they were all useless.
White Avian clearly wanted to suppress and trap him to his death. Although he could see the future and knew that Hall Lord White Avian would be at odds with him, he couldn’t divine certain matters since an Eighth Tribtion Eminence was beyond the River of Spacetime.
He never expected Hall Lord White Avian to hire Perfected Lord Crimson Peace to deal with him.
<i>I’ll be trapped like this forever?</i> Celestial Thearch Myriad Star pondered. <i>Forget it. I’ll just treat it as a form of seclusive cultivation. I have two volumes of the Eternal formtion, Bloodline, on hand. I still have more than 100,000 years of lifespan left. If I focus on cultivation, I will definitely be stronger. Furthermore, I still have two Seventh Tribtion Life Cores.</i>
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star waved his hand, and two Life Cores appeared in front of him: a short saber and a wooden hut.
<i>I gathered a total of eight Seventh Tribtion Life Cores. I originally devoured five,and left three behind. One is in the hands of Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. There are only two left.</i> Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes were cold as he made a decision. <i>Now, I just need to try my best and devour thest two Life Cores. It can increase my talent.</i>
If it was just to control forbidden creatures to devour inhabited worlds, one or two would be enough. However, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had collected eight Seventh Tribtion Life Cores. This was because he was curious as to why Fiend Mountain’s owner was collecting Life Cores.
He had gathered a Seventh Tribtion Life Core and carefully studied it. In the endless spacetime, all phenomena had their intrinsic profundities. After all, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had grasped the two cornerstones—time and space. After careful consideration, he had truly figured out something profound. Later, he obtained insights from the first volume of Bloodline that he had obtained from his sacrifices, allowing him to perfect the devouring formtionpletely.
His devouring formtion might not be as good as Fiend Mountain’s owner’s devouring means, but he could already absorb a portion of a Seventh Tribtion forbidden creature’s talent and fuse it with his body. Therefore, he had been eyeing the Seventh Tribtion forbidden creatures in the Chaos Turbid River all this time. However, he had captured all of the easy targets. The few left were much harder to capture.
He had long devoured five Life Cores, leaving behind only three to do his bidding.
This time... he devoured the remaining two. He wanted to go further on the path of cultivation!
<i>As long as I be stronger, I don’t even need to transcend the tribtion. As long as I cultivate an Eighth Tribtion realm body, I should be able to destroy this sealing array formationpletely.</i> Celestial Thearch Myriad Star abandoned all his fantasies and focused on his cultivation.
...
Time passed. In the distant Dry Origin Mountain, Meng Chuan cultivated.
<i>It’s been 6,000 years since I came to Dry Origin Mountain.</i> Meng Chuan sat in front of his desk and frowned slightly as he looked at the painting. He wasn’t too satisfied as the painting returned to a nk state.
<i>I’m still stuck at the final bottleneck with regards to the temporalw.</i> Meng Chuan frowned.
He had naturally grasped the three parts of the temporalw—the past, present, and future. After all, Meng Sha Realm’s treasures could be exchanged for arge number of supplementary cultivation items. He had obtained the opportunity to kill Chaos creatures on Dry Origin Mountain, greatly increasing his talent in the temporal lineage.
With the Painting Dao mystic technique that an Eternal had imparted to him, it was very easy for him to grasp the three basic parts.
However,bining these three parts to form aplete temporalw stumped Meng Chuan.
This bottlenecksted for 1,000 years. Meng Chuan remained confused. <i>The temporalw is indeed not that easy toprehend.</i>
<i>It’s time to kill the next Chaos creature.</i> Meng Chuan stood up and walked out of the wooden hut, heading toward the prison cell on Dry Origin Mountain.
