Chapter 674 Birth of the Void Trileaf Flower

“Not bad . ” The turtle-shelled elder smiled as he walked over from the distant entrance . With a single step, he arrived beside Meng Chuan . “The Nine Trials Pagoda’s first trial is very difficult for Sixth Tribulation Eminences . For you to clear it… it means that your cultivation foundation is considered one of the best at the Sixth Tribulation realm . ’

Meng Chuan turned his head and said, “That pressure tests one’s defensive abilities . Most top Sixth Tribulation Eminences probably can’t withstand it . ”

The turtle-shelled elder nodded . “When cultivating in the outside world, defensive means are more important than offensive means . ”

“There’s also the attack that affects one’s willpower…” Meng Chuan sighed . “Only when one’s willpower reaches the Physical Body Seventh Tribulation realm’s threshold can one withstand it,” said the turtle-shelled elder . “The first trial doesn’t require you to have a high cultivation realm . If your mind can’t reach the Seventh Tribulation realm’s threshold, how can you possibly have a chance of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm?”

Meng Chuan nodded . One’s mind was fundamental . Only with a powerful mind would one’s realm, body, and Essence Soul matter .

“You have cleared the first trial . The second trial is next . ” The turtle-shelled elder smiled as he pointed at the hill-like furnace in front of him . He pointed at the huge rotary disk on the furnace’s main body . “That rotary disk is the entire furnace’s valve . Clearing the second trial entails spinning open the rotary disk valve . ”

“As long as I spin open the valve?” Meng Chuan looked up . The rotary disk valve on the pill furnace was octagonal . Each side had the same length-160 feet .

Although Ancestral Master Archean Eon had general records regarding the Nine Trials Pagoda, he didn’t mention the details of each trial . Those who could be invited to the Nine Trials Pagoda didn’t need to know the details of each trial . Those who weren’t qualified didn’t need to know the details .

“That’s right . As long as you open the valve, the entire pill furnace will ignite with raging flames,” said the turtle-shelled elder wistfully . “When the time comes, you will follow the wind tunnel and directly fly into the furnace’s interior . You will then be tested by the furnace’s flames . If you survive it… you will have survived the third trial . It’s fine if you can’t . ”

la

The third trial is inside the pill furnace . I’ll be refined by the furnace? Meng Chuan secretly muttered to himself .

At his current realm, Meng Chuan could still discern the truth behind this furnace . Meng Chuan could vaguely sense the profundities of the runes on the furnace’s surface . In fact, he was vaguely certain that the furnace’s might would far exceed his imagination if it was completely unleashed . He had a feeling that his Lepton Undying Body was like dust in front of the furnace’s might . It would dissipate with a single blow .

Even a hundred of him would be annihilated .

Just slightly sensing it makes me instinctively feel terrified . I definitely can’t survive the third trial . Meng Chuan knew his limits .

It was normal .

For example, top Seventh Tribulation Eminences like Guild Master Fiend Eye and Ancestral Magus King could instantly kill him . However, they could only clear up to the third trial .

“Don’t even think about the third trial . Becoming a Seventh Tribulation Eminence is the most basic requirement to clear the third trial,” said the turtle-shelled elder with a smile . “Furthermore, there are other tests . Half of the Seventh Tribulation Eminences typically can’t withstand the third trial . ”

Meng Chuan smiled when he heard that . His senses were right . Once the furnace was ignited, its might was far beyond what he could withstand .

The second trial .

Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul spread out and enveloped the pill furnace’s rotary disk valve .

It’s complicated as expected . Meng Chuan sensed the rotary valve and discovered a vast number of runes inside . There were a total of nine layers of countless runes from the bottom .

The nine-layered runes connected the entire furnace .

The nine-layered runes on the rotary valve were a catalyst, a key . It was the key to activating the entire pill furnace’s core array formation .

I can’t understand the entire pill furnace array formation . However, the rotary valve is only a catalyst . The nine layers of runes are much easier to understand than the entire pill furnace array formation . At the very least, I can figure out some clues . Meng Chuan sensed and pondered carefully .

He immersed himself in his thoughts and combed through the vast nine layers of runes . Only when he vaguely understood their overall composition did Meng Chuan snap out of his adrift thoughts .

Meng Chuan realized that the turtle-shelled elder had already fallen asleep and was snoring .

“You’ve been looking at it for more than a year . How’s it going?” The turtle-shelled elder was still snoring a moment ago, but the next moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Meng Chuan . He yawned and asked, “Figured it out?”

I’ve been looking at it for more than a year?

Over the past year, many of Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars had spent all their effort on figuring things out, especially the one in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm-which had more than half of his Essence Soul Origins present . In reality, due to the ten-fold faster time flow, it took him more than ten years to comb through everything . “Senior Bei, there’s no time limit in the Nine Trials Pagoda, right?” asked Meng Chuan .

“As long as your avatar is alive, there’s no time limit,” said the turtle-shelled elder with a smile . “If your avatar dies, it means that you have failed . The next time you come, it will be at least 10,000 years later . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “The array formation contained in this rotary valve is complicated . I need more time to activate it . ”

“It’s good that you are confident . Take your time; I have plenty of time . ” The turtle-shelled elder chuckled and closed his eyes again . He continued sleeping soundly . Meng Chuan smiled and continued studying the nine-layered runes on the rotary valve . Comprehending the nine-layered runes broadened my horizons greatly . The moment I figure it out is also the moment I grasp the spatial law . Meng Chuan already understood that the key to the second trial was the spatial law .

Everything depended on the existence of space .

The spatial law was one of the two major foundations in the River of Spacetime . Its importance wasn’t only reflected by it being the strongest Sixth Tribulation law .

Grasping a spatial law was one of the thresholds to spinning open the valve . It was only natural .

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace and studied the nine-layered runes on the rotary valve while the turtle-shelled elder slept beside the pill furnace . In the blink of an eye, 15 years had passed . The actual time Meng Chuan spent cultivating was a lot longer .

The Valley of Spacetime had 15 layers . White Avian Hall occupied the larger four layers . In one layer of spacetime, an array formation enveloped the area . In one region, spacetime trembled slightly and distorted . A flower vaguely took form .

Huh?

Two figures arrived almost instantly . They were White Avian Hall’s Sixth Tribulation Eminences—who were in charge of guarding this layer of spacetime .

The pudgy figure’s eyes were very small, but his entire body was like a moving world . The pressure he released was immense . He stared at the vaguely discernible flower . He could distinguish the three leaves and the flower’s appearance . “It’s the Void Trileaf Flower . ” The pudgy figure’s eyes burned .

“The Void Trileaf Flower will completely bloom an hour after it appears . It has to be consumed within a day . Otherwise, it will wither and return to spacetime . ” Another cyan-clothed female Eminence stared at it with burning desire as well . She had come to the Valley of Spacetime for the Void Trileaf Flower . “By the way, according to the order, who does this Void Trileaf Flower belong to?”

The pudgy figure thought for a moment . “It’s Eastcalm’s turn . ”

“Him?” The cyan-clothed woman raised her eyebrows . “Back then, City Lord Eastcalm managed to enter the Valley of Spacetime because of his relationship with Hall Lord Blazing Sun . This caused many to be displeased . ”

“That’s right . Even I was pushed back a spot,” said the pudgy figure with a smile . “Despite being a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence who hasn’t done anything for White Avian Hall, he was able to enter the Valley of Spacetime early . Many Sixth Tribulation Eminences were envious and somewhat indignant . However, I never expected that a newly-advanced Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence could defeat Black Fiend Hall’s Lord of Scarlet . ”

“That’s right . That battle really gave me a fright . This Eastcalm actually silently reached the top echelons of the Sixth Tribulation realm . Furthermore, he defeated Lord of Scarlet,” said the cyan-clothed woman .

Many Eminences in Black Fiend Hall knew about Meng Chuan . This information naturally spread among the various factions in the River of Spacetime . Ordinary intelligence revealed that Meng Chuan had become a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence and defeated Lord of Scarlet . Detailed intelligence included detailed information on Meng Chuan’s strength . It would even include Meng Chuan’s means, such as his Essence Soul mystic technique-Pupil of Darkness—and many other aspects . “The Void Trileaf Flower will bloom in an hour . Report to Mountain Lord Moxie first,” said the pudgy figure .
