Chapter 649 Fiend Mountain Core Member

I’m only about 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers away from the intersection. Meng Chuan calmed down and continued walking slowly.

The voice coming from the mountaintop rumbled in his sea of consciousness as each intonation struck Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul. Due to the change in his Essence Soul structure and willpower, his perception of the intonations became clearer.

Meng Chuan spent a long time carefully studying after every step of the path before taking the next step. This continued for more than six years. Although he had some gains, his mind and willpower didn’t transform. At his current realm, it was increasingly difficult for Meng Chuan’s willpower to transform.

I’m here.

Meng Chuan looked at the three paths on Fiend Mountain. Two of the paths—the path of the mind and the path of epiphany-had completely merged into one.

The path of epiphany brings endless trouble. However, Realm Ancestor has also said that the path of the mind is the only path on Fiend Mountain that doesn’t have any future troubles. Many Seventh Tribulation Eminences will take a walk to see if they can reach the mountaintop to test their willpower. Clearly, one can take the path of the mind all the way to the mountaintop.

The higher one’s realm was, the greater their resistance to harm.

For example, Fu Sui and many other Fifth Tribulation Eminences were still very weak in terms of body, Essence Soul, and willpower. If they took the path of epiphany, they would naturally be plagued by endless troubles. As for those who could withstand 25,000 kilometers on the path of the mind, their resistance was naturally different.

I’ll give it a try. Meng Chuan took a step forward.

With one step, he walked from the path of the mind to the two paths that converged. The moment Meng Chuan stepped onto the path, he felt something different.

The sound he heard wasn’t much different. After all, he had only taken one more step. Meng Chuan could still resist the influence on his Essence Soul fairly easily, but he could sense an invisible force affecting his Essence Soul. It made his Essence Soul somewhat ethereal. The speed at which his thoughts circulated increased. His perception of the intonations increased by more than ten-fold.

It affects my Essence Soul somewhat. I’ve gained a lot more insights, but I’m still far from experiencing an epiphany. Meng Chuan was somewhat surprised. It’s even worse than the first step I took on the path of epiphany back then.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul and willpower were much stronger than when he was at the Fifth Tribulation realm.

The path of epiphany’s effects at the intersection is already unable to achieve the effect of epiphany. If another Seventh Tribulation Eminence came, the path of epiphany’s effects would be even lower. Just as Meng Chuan was feeling the intersection’s effects, a mysterious and ancient voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Having walked half the path of Fiend Mountain, you may become a core member of my Fiend Mountain.”

At the same time, a mystic technique entered Meng Chuan’s mind. With this mystic technique, he could bring outsiders into Fiend Mountain.

Boom!

Following that, a large amount of information surged into Meng Chuan’s mind. It took Meng Chuan a few seconds to memorize the plethora of information. Our universe has a Chaos Turbid River? Meng Chuan was shocked.

According to the information, core members of Fiend Mountain could head to the Chaos Turbid River if they obtained the mystic technique. The Chaos Turbid River was a mysterious place in the universe. It was connected to areas beyond the universe, and forbidden creatures could enter the universe through the Chaos Turbid River. So forbidden creatures are actually called Chaos creatures. Meng Chuan was somewhat shocked. This is a huge secret. It’s a secret that most Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of s.p.a.cetime likely don’t know about. Chaos creatures are lifeforms that live outside the universe. The Chaos Turbid River is set up by Eighth Tribulation Eminences. Therefore, those Chaos creatures are unable to charge out of the Chaos Turbid River. Even us cultivators can only enter the Chaos Turbid River with the mystic technique left behind by an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

He could enter the Chaos Turbid River and kill Chaos creatures.

A Sixth Tribulation Chaos creature-a forbidden creature—had a Life Core hidden within. One had to shatter the Life Core in order to kill it completely.

A Seventh Tribulation Chaos creature (forbidden creature) had an even stranger Life Core. It began to transform into a conceptualized law. Even a Seventh Tribulation Eminence couldn’t completely shatter it. They could only seal it before destroying the will contained within the Life Core. Fiend Mountain’s owner had imparted the sealing technique and the trick to destroying the Life Core’s will, but Meng Chuan’s realm was clearly still far from being able to use this technique.

Fiend Mountain’s owner bought all Life Core fragments.

Sixth Tribulation Chaos Life Core fragments, Seventh Tribulation Chaos Life Cores, and so on could be exchanged for many treasures from Fiend Mountain’s owner.

For example, Eighth Tribulation treasures could be obtained by directly entering the depths of Fiend Mountain. If one had ten complete Seventh Tribulation Chaos creature Life Cores or 1,000 Sixth Tribulation Chaos creature Life Cores, they could summon Fiend Mountain’s owner from the depths of Fiend Mountain. Fiend Mountain’s owner would directly come to this timeline and meet the summoner.

Ten Seventh Tribulation Chaos creature Life Cores allows one to make a direct request to meet the owner of Fiend Mountain? Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. Ordinary treasure exchanges can be done in the depths of Fiend Mountain? From the looks of it, there are many treasures hidden in the depths of Fiend Mountain.

Thinking of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures, one could imagine how astonis.h.i.+ng the treasures left behind by the owner of Fiend Mountain were.

As long as he was still alive, no one dared to barge into Fiend Mountain. After all, it could result in Fiend Mountain’s owner descending to this point in time if one attempted to barge in forcefully.

It’s no wonder that no top cultivator dares to destroy Fiend Mountain, despite it being such a great calamity. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. The reduction of if its influence probably was a result of other Eighth Tribulation Eminences’ decisions. A Seventh Tribulation Eminence probably didn’t have the guts to do so.

There had been endless disasters in the history of Fiend Mountain. Perhaps it had caused the other Eighth Tribulation Eminences in this universe to be unhappy. In the end, they decided to try their best to hide the existence of Fiend Mountain and prevent cultivators from entering on a large scale.

Chaos Turbid River? Forbidden creatures are very rare in our universe. It turns out that almost all of them are in the Chaos Turbid River. Furthermore, they are blocked by an array formation. I wonder how the forbidden creatures scattered across the universe broke out of the array formation.

Also, what’s up with these crazy forbidden creatures on Fiend Mountain? Why does Fiend Mountain’s owner collect a large number of forbidden creature Life Cores? Are these Life Core fragments of great use to an Eighth Tribulation Eminence like him? Meng Chuan had many guesses.

With a flip of his hand, an extremely small fragment appeared in Meng Chuan’s hand.

This was what Meng Chuan had obtained when he swept through Three Bay River System’s plundering factions. Back then, a wine cup shard had allowed Demon Slayer to absorb a large amount of baneful aura, greatly increasing Demon Slayer’s strength.

However, Meng Chuan didn’t spend too much effort on studying physical body formulations. Therefore, he didn’t spend much effort nurturing a melee weapon like Demon Slayer either. But after reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, Demon Slayer also received normal nurturing, allowing it to become a Sixth Tribulation treasure.

Back then, Meng Chuan had kept a few shards. According to Eternal Tower, they were a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core fragments.

Different Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures had very different fragments.

Some of the baneful auras were terrifying, while others emanated a cold aura. Some were even scorching hot. It wasn’t easy to find a single type of baneful aura. Hence, Meng Chuan didn’t deliberately bulk-purchase them.

A forbidden creature’s Life Core seems very special. Meng Chuan flipped his hand and put away the small fragment. He hesitated.

Every core member will receive an opportunity from Fiend Mountain’s owner.

Among the large amounts of information Meng Chuan had obtained, he had an opportunity to head to the Land of Foulbone.

According to the opportunity’s description, there were many dangers hidden in the Land of Foulbone. Similarly, there were fortuitous encounters. Whether one died in the Land of Foulbone or made great harvests depended on one’s strength and luck.

“I’ve never heard of the Land of Foulbone,” said Meng Chuan after some thought. “Free benefits from becoming a core member of Fiend Mountain? This doesn’t match the style of Fiend Mountain’s owner.”

After all this, Meng Chuan could sense that Fiend Mountain’s owner didn’t care about the lives of cultivators. He didn’t care even if billions of cultivators died from madness.

The so-called core members of Fiend Mountain were also further enticed by Fiend Mountain’s owner to help him kill forbidden creatures and collect Life Cores.

Even the weakest creature in a place like the Chaos Turbid River is a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature. There are also Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures. As a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence, I should stay far away for the time being. At the very least, I must have the confidence to kill a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature in a short period of time before I can give it a try.

If I were to attempt killing an ordinary Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature now, I might have to engage in a nasty battle, resulting in me attracting over 100 forbidden creatures. I might even attract Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures. Isn’t that courting death?

I can send an Essence Soul avatar to the Land of Foulbone to give it a try.

Just as Meng Chuan was digesting a large amount of informationAt an alt.i.tude of about 45,000 kilometers on Fiend Mountain, the three paths had long merged together. A man-who looked like a meatball-stood there. He had a pair of short legs and six arms, but he only had one large eye. This large eye was currently looking at Meng Chuan.

“City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, a newly-advanced Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He actually reached the midway point of Fiend Mountain?” His mouth widened as he laughed. “The owner of Fiend Mountain should have given him an opportunity? What a coincidence that I happened to encounter him.”
