Chapter 717: 717

“Celestial Thearch, you flatter me,” said Meng Chuan calmly .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked at Meng Chuan and shook his head . “Eastcalm, don’t reject me so quickly . Time is very magical . A decision you make today might be very different after 10,000 years or 30,000 years . ”

Meng Chuan was slightly stunned .

Yes, as time changed, cultivators also changed .

“In the future, feel free to ask if you need my help on your cultivation path . ” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star remained friendly . “No Seventh Tribulation Eminence lives for another Eminence; they all have their own cultivation path . Even if you are indebted to Hall Lord White Avian, there will ultimately be a limit to the favors he has granted you . You can’t delay your cultivation for small favors .

“Just consider my words carefully,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star with a smile . “My cave abode welcomes you at any time . ”

“Thank you, Celestial Thearch,” said Meng Chuan politely . Since the other party had taken the initiative to express goodwill, he had to cut him some slack .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star nodded slightly as the embodiment left .

Meng Chuan stood there thoughtfully . He could sense Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s intention to befriend him . His goodwill was very obvious .

Meng Chuan’s expression was solemn . I’m afraid he’s up to no good by giving such a valuable gift .

There was a mortal saying: One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star took the initiative to send a gift just to make friends? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star can see the future; he can see the future timelines of Seventh Tribulation Eminences . His sights definitely far exceed the gifts worth more than ten million cubes .

Hall Lord White Avian was the leader of his faction . Back then, he had said very clearly that he wouldn’t make things difficult for Meng Chuan .

Meng Chuan had accepted the treasures under that premise . Back then, he was only at the Sixth Tribulation realm . The treasures Hall Lord White Avian gave him were treasures of the Essence Soul lineage . They were much more valuable than the ones Celestial Thearch Myriad Star gave him .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s words were vague . Without a clear request, how could Meng Chuan dare to accept the gifts?

It was the hardest to repay favors .

Hall Lord White Avian is open and aboveboard . Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looks enthusiastic, but in reality, he wants to use karma to restrain me . Meng Chuan didn’t like Celestial Thearch Myriad Star because of this . Forget it; there’s no need to think too much . The stronger I am, the stronger the storm I can withstand . It’s time to cultivate on Holy Mountain of Painting .

…

Evodia Mystic Realm, Holy Mountain of Painting .

“Greetings, City Lord Eastcalm . ” A thin, black-robed elder bowed respectfully . He was the Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence—Poison Eye—in charge of guarding Evodia Mystic Realm .

Master Poison Eye . Meng Chuan observed the other party .

“City Lord, you can just call me Poison Eye,” said the elder humbly . “The last time City Lord came to Evodia Mystic Realm, you were still at the Sixth Tribulation realm . In the blink of an eye, you are already a Seventh Tribulation Eminence . I’m impressed . ”

Master Poison Eye had long grasped three Sixth Tribulation laws and was stuck at the final bottleneck . However, City Lord Eastcalm had only cultivated for a short period of time . Meng Chuan had first comprehended the spatial law and then grasped the Chaos Hole law . Him becoming a Seventh Tribulation Eminence made Master Poison Eye rather envious .

Poison Eye had suffered Black Fiend Hall’s crazy revenge . Even though his many Essence Soul avatars could be gathered and dispersed at will, the alien powers still seeped into every Essence Soul avatar . Unless his Essence Soul transformed to the Seventh Tribulation realm and his Essence Soul became powerful, nobody could save him other than Black Fiend Hall .

Meng Chuan’s strength had increased greatly . Wherever he was, his Origins domain naturally spread out . At first glance, he could sense the strange power entangling the black-robed elder’s Essence Soul .

“Your injuries?” Meng Chuan looked at him .

“A personal blow from Hall Master Nightmare,” said the elder . “He used a strange power contained in the legendary Nightmare Hall . Manor Lord Centaurea had helped me request Realm Ancestor’s help… but he wasn’t able to expel the strange power from Nightmare Hall . ”

“Oh? Mind if I take a look?” asked Meng Chuan . He knew that Nightmare Hall was a legacy treasure; it was terrifying and extraordinary .

“Thank you, City Lord . ” The elder was also somewhat expectant . Realm Ancestor was an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, and so was City Lord Eastcalm . Perhaps there was a way to save him? If the alien power was expelled, he would completely recover . It meant that he could still live for tens of thousands of years .

A wisp of Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul seeped into the elder’s Essence Soul avatar .

Oh? Meng Chuan clearly discovered the problem the moment his powers seeped in .

There was a strange law that affected Master Poison Eye’s Essence Soul . This strange power was a nomological manifestation . It was very mysterious, and it had already infected the entirety of Master Poison Eye’s Essence Soul . It could even affect all his other true body avatars .

This is the Power of Nightmare? Meng Chuan knew much more than Master Poison Eye . The intelligence given by White Avian Hall had long recorded how terrifying the Power of Nightmare was . Thankfully, Hall Master Nightmare’s realm wasn’t high . Thus, he could only unleash a small portion of the legacy treasure’s strength .

If Hall Master Nightmare had reached the pinnacle of the Seventh Tribulation realm and used the legacy treasure, Master Poison Eye’s injuries would probably be much worse . He probably would’ve died long ago .

Black Fiend Hall’s two legacy treasures were no less useful to Seventh Tribulation Eminences than Eternal treasures .

Although only a sliver of the Power of Nightmare was used, it’s too profound . I’m afraid I can only attempt to crack it after grasping the spacetime law and reaching the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm . Meng Chuan could sense how strange and terrifying the Power of Nightmare was . From this, he understood how powerful an Eighth Tribulation Eminence was .

The elder couldn’t help but ask, “City Lord, do you have a solution?”

“I’m at my wits’ end . ” Meng Chuan shook his head while in thought . “If there’s a way to crack it in the future, I’ll come to you . ”

“City Lord…” The elder was somewhat grateful .

Meng Chuan appreciated Poison Eye—who abhorred evil and had a huge grudge with Black Fiend Hall . Unfortunately, he couldn’t help him now .

“You don’t have to entertain me . I’ll only cultivate in front of Holy Mountain of Painting in Evodia Mystic Realm,” said Meng Chuan as he took a step and arrived at the foot of the mountain .

With a wave of his hand, a cave abode that spanned several kilometers descended .

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar lived in seclusion in the cave abode . He looked up at the 45,000-kilometer-tall mountain wall and the stunning paintings .

All 33 paintings were extraordinary .

Time for me to begin painting .

As he sat in the study, there was a blank canvas in front of Meng Chuan .

This blank canvas was personally refined by Meng Chuan . He used 800 cubes’ worth of materials to refine it . The canvas was half a million kilometers long and wide . Its uniqueness was that it was large and made of extraordinary materials . It could hold some powerful paintings .

Meng Chuan first began painting the Chaos Hole lineage . Using the Chaos Hole law, he could understand the essence of these paintings better .

…

Time passed . In the blink of an eye, 30 years passed .

Over the past 30 years, the River of Spacetime had been in turmoil . Many top factions had conflicts . Half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences had fought several times .

White Avian Hall had also participated in many battles, but they didn’t let Meng Chuan take action! This was because many battles were disputes between Sixth Tribulation Eminences . It was very rare for a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence to take action .

Seventh Tribulation Eminences had to study and cultivate . Unless it was truly important, Seventh Tribulation Eminences wouldn’t appear to participate in the battles . But once they appeared, they would attract the attention of the top factions in the River of Spacetime .

Meng Chuan spent the past 30 years painting .

When he was at the Sixth Tribulation realm, his horizons were still shallow . After reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm and grasping the spatial law and Chaos Hole law, he could understand these paintings at a deeper level . His insights were naturally different .

Thirty years . 32 paintings . Meng Chuan felt that he had gained too much in the past 30 years .

He painted each of the 32 paintings very seriously . For those he experienced great gains, he even drew them a second or third time…

During those 30 years, Meng Chuan gained a deeper understanding of time, space, and the ten Origins laws . How did the ten Origins laws work together? How did time and space produce so many laws? At the very least, he had a vague understanding of them .

There’s also the 33rd painting . Meng Chuan looked up . His gaze passed through the study’s window, past the cave abode’s walls, and looked at the 45,000-kilometer-tall mountain wall . He looked at the only painting among the 33 paintings—a simple painting .

The other 32 paintings were extremely complicated . They contained at least one Origins law .

Only the painting in the middle consisted of six strokes!

Each of the six extremely casual strokes was different . Each stroke seemed to tear through the Chaos and open up a universe . The six strokes interweaved with each other, producing countless mysteries .

Meng Chuan instinctively felt that this painting was much more brilliant and difficult to comprehend . Therefore, he left it for the last .

I’ll give it a try—this six-stroke painting . Meng Chuan looked up at the towering mountain wall and carefully examined each stroke of the six-stroke painting .
