Chapter 629 Realm Ancestor Explains Fiend Mountain

Meng Chuan was somewhat dazed.

His Essence Soul avatar had just coldly rejected Lord Ghostink and returned to Thousand Mountain Star’s chamber to meditate when it was teleported to a distant spacetime.

That’s Thousand Mountain Star. Despite the protection of my array formations, my Sixth Tribulation Essence Soul avatar was captured? Through his perception of Archean Eon Realm, Meng Chuan understood how infinitely far he was. It was the furthest he had ever been. The other party’s strength far exceeds mine. Although Meng Chuan was shocked, he instantly determined the situation. He knew that he had encountered an unstoppable existence. He looked around and saw the white-haired elder.

The white-haired elder was very amiable as he wore a smile.

It’s him? Meng Chuan’s heart jolted.

A Seventh Tribulation Eminence held a reverent status in the River of Spacetime. There was only one criteria to be a top faction in the River of Spacetime-possess a Seventh Tribulation Eminence in that era!

A faction would be considered a top one when they had a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be considered a top faction in the River of Spacetime.

Every Seventh Tribulation Eminence was a legend! According to Meng Chuan’s understanding, Realm Ancestor should be the oldest Seventh Tribulation Eminence presently alive. Furthermore, he was an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence! In terms of strength and status, Realm Ancestor was definitely not inferior to Ancestral Master Archean Eon.

“Greetings, Realm Ancestor. I’m Eastcalm.” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully. In the outer realm, he only addressed himself as Eastcalm.

“The longer I live, the more I feel like there are geniuses in every generation.” Realm Ancestor smiled at Meng Chuan. “On a whim, I discovered an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence who has only cultivated for about 2,000 years. In terms of talent, you are even superior to Saber Swordsman.”

“How can I compare to Senior Saber Swordsman?” said Meng Chuan immediately.

Saber Swordsman was the most special Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the Cang Alliance Space. This was because he had grasped a Seventh Tribulation law and had the partial strength of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Ordinary Sixth Tribulation Eminences couldn’t withstand a single strike from Saber Swordsman. They were completely steamrolled.

“Saber Swordsman comprehended a paramount technique and directly reached the Fifth Tribulation realm. However, he only reached the Sixth Tribulation realm after cultivating for 3,600 years.” Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan. “You are much faster than him. Furthermore, you are at the Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation realm.”

“I haven’t transcended the tribulation yet, so I can’t be considered a true Sixth Tribulation Eminence,” said Meng Chuan. “As a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, your reentry into Fiend Mountain implies that you are at least an ordinary member of Fiend Mountain.” Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan. “Just this alone gives you a 90% chance of transcending the tribulation.” Meng Chuan was shocked. Ordinary member of Fiend Mountain?

“Fiend Mountain isn’t a secret to Seventh Tribulation Eminences,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile. “Putting it in another way, it should be said that all Seventh Tribulation Eminences know about Fiend Mountain.”

“All of them know about it?” Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed. Despite it being a place that every Seventh Tribulation Eminence knew about, he couldn’t find any information on it. Clearly, they had deliberately kept it a secret. Ancestral Master Archean Eon didn’t make any records of it, so he clearly didn’t want his descendants to know.

“I never expected that you juniors would find it again after we hid the news about it,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile.

“Are we not supposed to enter?” asked Meng Chuan.

“It’s fine if you enter. We won’t stop the members of Fiend Mountain either. However, we will strictly forbid Fu Sui from continuing to bring cultivators in,” said Realm Ancestor. “Senior, is Fiend Mountain very dangerous?” asked Meng Chuan.

Realm Ancestor smiled. “The first of Fiend Mountain’s three cultivation paths is the path of epiphany. According to my understanding, there are countless Fifth Tribulation Eminences that have stepped onto the path. Over 10,000 have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm thanks to it, but without any exception, these Sixth Tribulation Eminences have either gone crazy or become spellbound. None of them had a good ending.”

Meng Chuan was shocked.

Up to now, nobody had reached the Sixth Tribulation realm after embarking on the path of epiphany. Typically, only those who had accumulated enough insights would have a chance of reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm after a year or two.

Over 10,000 people have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm thanks to it? How many Fifth Tribulation Eminences have traversed the first path? Also, none of them ended up well? They either went crazy or became spellbound? Meng Chuan shuddered.

“The second path is the path of possession. One can possess different Sixth Tribulation Eminences and experience Sixth Tribulation Eminences’ cultivation,” said Realm Ancestor. “However, in fact, the many Sixth Tribulation Eminences that can be possessed all became Sixth Tribulation Eminences by taking the path of epiphany. The path of possession... may appear to be brilliant in every way, but in fact, it’s not orthodox.” historical

Meng Chuan was astonished. He knew that one could possess different eminences, but he didn’t know that the ones being possessed eventually ended up going crazy or becoming spellbound.

Se

“On the path of possession, even if one can maintain their original intent, they will be drawing upon thousands of erroneous paths. In the end, most of them will still take a wrong step, thus going crazy or becoming spellbound,” said Realm Ancestor. “Of course, there are also those who have experienced thousands of paths, comprehended their essence, and attained great accomplishments. There are three people in history who have attained greatness through the path of possession. They have all comprehended a Seventh Tribulation law.”

Meng Chuan was shocked.

The path of possession was also very bizarre. Either one didn’t have a good ending, or one comprehended the essence after studying thousands of paths to grasp a Seventh Tribulation law.

“Countless Fifth Tribulation Eminences have taken that path, but only three have comprehended a Seventh Tribulation law,” said Realm Ancestor. “This kind of screening method is too cruel. Among Fifth Tribulation Eminences and Sixth Tribulation Eminences, some have lived. Countless Fifth Tribulation Eminences have died, gone crazy, or become bespelled. Only three grasped a Seventh Tribulation law.”

“The third path is the path of the mind. It doesn’t have any aftereffects, but it’s the most difficult path. After traversing 5,000 kilometers and becoming an ordinary member, one’s willpower reaches the threshold needed for the Physical Body Seventh Tribulation realm,” said Realm Ancestor. “Most cultivators will be wasting their efforts on the path of the mind.”

“Reaching 5,000 kilometers on the path of the mind means one’s willpower has reached the requirement of the Physical Body Seventh Tribulation realm?” Meng Chuan was shocked.

“In terms of willpower, the requirements for the Physical Body Tribulation realm and Essence Soul Tribulation realm are different,” said Realm Ancestor. “The Physical Body Tribulation realm uses the body as the foundation. The requirements for one’s willpower are much lower than those of the Essence Soul Tribulation realm.” Meng Chuan cultivated both his body and Essence Soul, so he knew this very well.

Physical Body Tribulation Eminences controlled their bodies. An Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence needed to control an Essence Soul World.

“At 5,000 kilometers on the path of the mind, one’s willpower needs to be at the normal level of the Physical Body Seventh Tribulation realm, which is the peak of the Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation realm.” Realm Ancestor continued to reveal secrets without holding back. “At 25,000 kilometers on the path of the mind, one’s willpower would have reached the peak of the Physical Body Seventh Tribulation realm and the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm’s threshold.”

“When one reaches the peak of the mountain on the path of the mind, one’s willpower has reached the Physical Body Eighth Tribulation realm’s threshold. Therefore, Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminences often go to Fiend Mountain to take a stroll. They walk the path of the mind and see if they can reach the peak. This is the easiest way to verify if one’s willpower has reached the Physical Body Eighth Tribulation realm.

“However, to an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence, the willpower they need to reach the peak is still fundamentally different from the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm.” Realm Ancestor shook his head. “Physical Body Tribulation Eminences only need to cultivate their bodies. It’s something tangible. As for us Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences... We need to improve our willpower constantly. The willpower needed to reach the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm is just too difficult to attain, way too difficult.”

Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan. “You are now young. You had one epiphany in the early stages of cultivation. Once your mind is stirred, your Essence Soul might improve greatly. However, by the time you reach my level, you will no longer be puzzled. Even the mechanics of the River of Spacetime and the Universe is something you can understand at its essence. If you want to trigger another epiphany and cause a sublimation of the mind? It’s even harder than comprehending another Origins ultimate technique.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. Thankfully, he still had a long way to go before reaching Realm Ancestor’s realm.

Two of the three paths on Fiend Mountain led to endless disasters. The last path was extremely difficult.

“Senior Realm Ancestor, who’s the original owner of Fiend Mountain?” asked Meng Chuan. He was very curious about the creator’s identity.

“Fiend Mountain’s owner?” Realm Ancestor’s eyes were filled with amazement. “It belongs to an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”

“Eighth Tribulation Eminence?” Meng Chuan came to a realization.

Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan and couldn’t help but shake his head gently. “Any Eighth Tribulation Eminence is a mighty existence. The greatest existence in our River of Spacetime since its birth is only an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”

“Eighth Tribulation Eminences control time and space. They can jump out of the River of Time, return to the past, and head to the future,” said Realm Ancestor wistfully. “Although they aren’t truly eternal, they live in different eras. For example, they can live for thousands of years in the present era. They can then cross time and live for thousands of years ten billion years from now. They can cross another ten billion years after that to meet the Eternal existence that broke through after ten billion years. All of these are possible.”

“It’s not just time. They can also leave the space we are in and enter another universe,” said Realm Ancestor. “They can roam other universes.”

Meng Chuan was stunned when he heard that.

“You may think that the Eighth Tribulation Eminences are dead, but they might appear ten billion years later. Or they might be in another universe.”

“You may think that they are still alive? However, they have also crossed ten billion years, skipping you over, making living beings in those ten billion years believe that they are dead,” said Realm Ancestor. “They also have to follow the flow of time. After jumping for a period of time, they won’t be able to exist in the time they skipped. At the very least, there are no Eighth Tribulation Eminences in our present era.”

Realm Ancestor’s eyes were filled with regret.

He wanted to meet an Eighth Tribulation Eminence and ask them questions. However, in this era, he was already standing at the peak! There were no Eighth Tribulation Eminences that he could question.

He couldn’t leave this universe, so he could only wait for his end.
