Although he had a long lifespan after reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, Meng Chuan still cherished his time.

I’ll forget about domain-type mystic techniques. Meng Chuan gave up after scanning the ones available. A mystic technique was a functional use of the laws. However, the techniques he could use were typically inferior to treasures refined by Seventh Tribulation Eminences, much less Eighth Tribulation treasures.

Therefore, buying a Seventh Tribulation treasure array formation was much better than arduously cultivating a mystic technique himself.

The only difference was that the treasures would be lost if their Essence Soul avatar died in battle. However, if one used mystic techniques against an enemy, the losses would be negligible.

Even if I choose a mystic technique, I have to choose one that is of great use to me. The lightning lineage is good at attacking, so I’ll choose an offensive mystic technique. Meng Chuan scanned the manuals available. For a mystic technique that can help me comprehend Chaos Hole laws… This shall be it.

Meng Chuan found a mystic technique.

The illusory projection in front of him was a gray book. On the book’s surface were wordsChaos Hole Lightning Spear. With lightning as the catalyst and Chaos Hole laws as the foundation, Meng Chuan could condense a lightning spear and use it to attack.

An expert that had grasped a lightning law had the greatest offensive power when they instantly controlled all lightning within a five billion-kilometer radius! Chaos Hole Lightning Spear was a mysterious mystic technique that allowed one to condense the lightning.

Learning this mystic technique will also be beneficial to my future mastery of Chaos Hole laws. It won’t be a waste of time. I only need 300 cubes to learn it once. Meng Chuan instantly decided on this mystic technique.

Seventh Tribulation mystic techniques weren’t expensive. This was because the original copy of mystic techniques created by Seventh Tribulation Eminences typically cost thousands of cubes at most. The price to learn such a mystic technique once was naturally lower.

In comparison, the value of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s legacy soared rapidly. An Eternal legacy was ridiculously expensive. The Void Catalog was one example; it mainly described spatial laws. One required nearly one million Outer Realm Essence Crystals to obtain the Void Catalog’s three complete volumes.

I have to learn a willpower-based mystic technique. Meng Chuan placed great importance on it. After all, his mind and willpower had helped him traverse 5,000 kilometers on Fiend Mountain’s path of the mind. After his wife and parents woke up, his Essence Soul had transformed after he painted Perfection.

After obtaining the Eighth Tribulation Essence Soul legacy-Eternal Road—from Realm Ancestor, he created a new Essence Soul Dharmic formulation on the two Eighth Tribulation Essence Soul legacies’ foundation.

Although this formulation was still in its nascent form, it was most suitable for him. One’s Essence Soul structure had a huge impact on their life. The Essence Soul structure matched Meng Chuan’s temperament, causing his Essence Soul to feel much more ethereal. His perception and willpower had also become stronger.

Meng Chuan didn’t know how strong his willpower was, but he felt that his willpower was at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm before transcending the tribulation. It might even be able to match an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s willpower…

Since Meng Chuan was so strong in this aspect, he naturally had to choose a good willpower-based mystic technique.

He learned the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell from the original copy found by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. However, there were many other techniques in the River of Spacetime that were stronger.

This shall be it. Meng Chuan quickly chose a technique in Eternal Tower’s treasure vault.

Pupil of Darkness was one of the top ten Essence Soul mystic techniques in the River of Spacetime. It used the Chaos Hole law as its foundation; it also contained the Immeasurable law and the Karma law. It was an Eighth Tribulation Essence mystic technique that contained three Origins laws.

It’s really expensive. Meng Chuan looked at the price. It costs 150,000 cubes to learn it once.

This technique could only be used against enemies.

For techniques like Essence Soul Star and Eternal Road—which were related to one’s Essence Soul structure-it typically cost more than one million cubes to learn them once. Furthermore, it was very difficult to buy them. This was because recording these legacies was very difficult. They were also limited by the spacetime laws. Every such legacy could only be learned a limited number of times. On the other hand, pure mystic techniques were relatively less restricted by the spacetime laws, making them cheaper.

Moments later…

Meng Chuan bought two mystic techniques and learned them separately.

It’s indeed worth it. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. As expected of one of the top ten Essence Soul mystic techniques in the River of Spacetime. The Pupil of Darkness’s strength is extremely astonishing. With just one glance, my enemies might sink into oblivion and lose the ability to resist. If one’s realm is too low, their Essence Soul might collapse and be destroyed.

Of course, the stronger the opponent was, the stronger their resistance.

Since he had just reached the Sixth Tribulation Realm, Meng Chuan’s willpower was his strongest aspect. This Pupil of Darkness is enough to be my trump card. Meng Chuan already had a plan.

In the future, he would send his Essence Soul avatars out. His main attacking methods would be the Pupil of Darkness and Chaos Hole Lightning Spear. He would use his Essence Soul World to suppress the enemy. It would be sufficiently intimidating. Even if he died in battle, he wouldn’t incur any losses as long as his avatars didn’t carry any treasures. It’s time to head to the Valley of Spacetime.

At the same time, Meng Chuan split out an Essence Soul avatar on Fiend Mountain before rushing to the Valley of Spacetime. This was because this body was the closest to the Valley of Spacetime.

In a mystic realm.

Ice spread out. On a towering iceberg’s peak was an ice palace.

Inside the palace sat a silver-haired elder, who was about 1,000 feet tall. His skin was covered in silver patterns. It’s clearly my turn to be in the Valley of Spacetime queue. I should be the next to head to the Valley of Spacetime.

The silver-haired elder was furious. Someone actually cut the line? I’ve fought hard for White Avian Hall for more than 30,000 years. I’ve contributed so much, and my turn has finally arrived. Yet, you now want me to wait a little longer?

The silver-haired elder was very old. Although he had only been pushed back one spot, and he might only be delayed for a century or so, he only had 10,000 years left to live. His chances of breaking through became slimmer for every moment he delayed.

I’ve cultivated to this day and have a deep understanding of the spatial law. As long as I obtain the Void Trileaf Flower, I will have a chance of fully grasping the spatial law. Once I grasp the spatial law, I can extend my lifespan by 20,000 to 30,000 years as long as I improve my body slightly, even if I can’t reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.

The silver-haired elder was very anxious. The closer the elderly cultivators were to the end of their lifespans, the more precious their time became.

City Lord Eastcalm? The silver-haired elder took note of the name.

White Avian Hall had publicly announced the name of the new Sixth Tribulation Eminence entering the Valley of Spacetime.

A newly-advanced Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence crushes me? I hear that he has Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun backing him? Hmph, Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun is becoming more and more unfair. Hall Lord White Avian has given him too much power. The silver-haired elder felt very indignant, but he could only grumble inside his cave abode.

Fiend Mountain’s exits were scattered across nine river zones—which were relatively far from each other. With Fiend Mountain as a transit point, one was relatively close to any place in the River of Spacetime. I’m here. The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan looked into the distance.

In front of him was a dark void. It looked ordinary, but it was a special place in the River of Spacetime. The various factions had sent Eminences to guard it.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan flew towards White Avian Hall’s territory, which was indicated in the information given to him.

As he flew closer, the space around him began to turn strange. The vast spacetime around him seemed to turn into a spinning bottle.

Meng Chuan flew into the depths of the bottle.

In the bottle’s deepest depths was a long, narrow tunnel—the Valley of Spacetime.

Although the Valley of Spacetime was long and narrow, it had been folded into 15 layers.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan flew carefully. If he didn’t know the correct location and randomly flew, he might have flown into another faction’s territory since the Valley of Spacetime had several layers.

As Meng Chuan flew, he entered a new layer of space. Even if Supremacies and Imperial Lords came here, they would find it difficult to understand the changes in spacetime. However, Meng Chuan and other Sixth Tribulation Eminences could naturally understand these changes.

“Eastcalm, you’re here?” A voice sounded in Meng Chuan’s ear. “Come over.”

An invisible force guided Meng Chuan.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan instantly traversed five billion kilometers and saw an ordinary cave abode in the dark void.

A gray-robed man stood in front of the cave abode. The man had no hair, and his skin was somewhat crystalline. There were strange flame runes at his glabella.

“Greetings, Lord Moxie.” Meng Chuan bowed.

Moxie-an Eminence at the half-step Seventh Tribulation realm-had established a faction, Land Without Karma. As a person who grasped the Karma law-an Origins law-Moxie’s means were unpredictable. His faction, Land of Zero Karma, had great influence. He only joined White Avian Hall so that he had a stronger backer.

“White Avian Hall occupies 30% of the Valley of Spacetime,” said Moxie as he looked at Meng Chuan calmly. “Apart from me, there are seven other Sixth Tribulation Eminences. These seven are all at the peak Sixth Tribulation realm. You are the weakest.”

Meng Chuan listened calmly.

It wasn’t strange at all. Since White Avian Hall had more than 10,000 Sixth Tribulation Eminences, those who could come to the Valley of Spacetime were naturally outstanding.

Typically, one could be considered a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence if they grasped two Sixth Tribulation laws. Only by grasping a spatial law could one be considered a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

“Therefore, you have to be careful in the Valley of Spacetime. This is because you are probably no match for most Sixth Tribulation Eminences here,” said Mountain Lord Moxie. “I’ve also arranged a simple mission for you.”
