Archean Eon Art Chapter 714 - Planet Blackjade

Chapter 714: Planet Blackjade

“The requirements for one’s mind and willpower are that high?” Meng Chuan was a little shocked when he read the information regarding mind and willpower.

Realm Ancestor leisurely said, “Historically, the owner of Bright Cliff Realm was a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence from the Essence Soul lineage. After he comprehended time and s.p.a.ce, he used the laws of s.p.a.ce and time as a foundation to perfect his Essence Soul formulation. His mind and willpower also reached a terrifying level. Without needing to use any mystic techniques, all he needed was a glance and the willpower contained in his eyes… It was enough to make any Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s consciousness in that era blurry and defenseless.

“The owner of Bright Cliff Realm was the only half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence in that era. However, there were several top Seventh Tribulation Eminences. There were also top Seventh Tribulation Eminences from the Essence Soul lineage… But it was without exception; they couldn’t unleash any of their strength after a mere glance from the owner of Bright Cliff Realm.”

Realm Ancestor sighed. “Top Seventh Tribulation Eminences can still battle Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. But in the era of Bright Cliff Realm’s owner… n.o.body could deliver an attack in front of him. However, his Essence Soul World still couldn’t withstand the evolution of time and s.p.a.ce. He ended stuck at the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm his entire life.

“From this, it can be seen how great the burden on one’s Essence Soul World is when bearing the evolution of the complete laws of time and s.p.a.ce,” said Realm Ancestor. “The requirements on one’s willpower are extremely high. For example, I have long been able to reach the peak of Fiend Mountain. However, I can only make ordinary Seventh Tribulation Eminences defenseless when using an Essence Soul mystic technique. The effects I have on top Seventh Tribulation Eminences are much weaker.”

Realm Ancestor sighed. “The outside world believes that I’m definitely very close to the Eighth Tribulation realm since ordinary Seventh Tribulation Eminences are no match against me. However, I know that I’m still far from it. Even if I break through the temporal law’s bottleneck, my willpower is still far inferior.”

“Senior Realm Ancestor, if you grasp the temporal law and use the laws of time and s.p.a.ce as your foundation to perfect your Essence Soul formulation, I believe your willpower will transform and reach the threshold required for the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan.

“A perfected Essence Soul formulation?” Realm Ancestor’s eyes were filled with yearning. “Perhaps… But even if I grasp the time law now, I won’t have time to perfect my Essence Soul formulation with my remaining lifespan. You have read the intelligence on Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences in history.

“You should know that my cultivation speed is only considered above average in history.” Realm Ancestor shook his head gently. “Among the many Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences, I’m not considered the best. How can I hope to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm?”

Meng Chuan didn’t say a word. The intelligence given by Realm Ancestor was gathered after many years of hard work.

He had intelligence about generations of Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences, including five half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences from the Essence Soul lineage. With all the information combined, one could tell which level they were at compared to the predecessors in history.

“You are different.” Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan with bright eyes. “You are much stronger than me. In this life, you have a chance of reaching the level of Bright Cliff Realm’s owner. You even have a chance of reaching the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm.”

“I’ll naturally do my best.” Meng Chuan also felt that this path was very difficult.

“Follow me.” Realm Ancestor suddenly split out an Essence Soul avatar and led the way.

Meng Chuan had some guesses. Hall Lord White Avian previously said that Realm Ancestor wanted to give me a treasure land.

Meng Chuan immediately followed Realm Ancestor.

…

Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor appeared in a dark void.

Whoosh.

Ripples appeared in the void as a ma.s.sive black planet appeared. On the planet, one could vaguely see cave abode buildings and array formations.

“Planet Blackjade.” Realm Ancestor looked at the planet and smiled. “It’s the most important treasure land that I’ve occupied during my conquests. Its value is much greater than the other treasure lands combined.”

Planet Blackjade? Meng Chuan had naturally heard of it.

The value of Blackjade was definitely ranked in the top five treasures that many Seventh Tribulation Eminences fought for. The first treasure was Palace Lady Blood Phoenix’s Outer Realm Essence Crystal Star.

“As you know, Blackjade’s core can produce Blackjade Crystal Sand. Every year, only ten-plus grains are produced. Every Blackjade Crystal Sand grain is worth nearly a Primordial Stone. Every year, that translates to a production of hundreds of cubes, or even more than 1,000 cubes,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile. “As long as you guard this place and collect Blackjade Crystal Sand every few years… After 100,000 years, you can earn 100 million Outer Realm Essence Crystals with Blackjade Crystal Sand. Us Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences have multiple avatars. You just need one Essence Soul avatar to guard this place.”

Meng Chuan was alarmed.

Other than the Eternal treasure, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had acc.u.mulated less than 100 million cubes of wealth his entire life! From this, one could tell the value of Planet Blackjade.

As half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences, Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star couldn’t permanently guard the area with their only outer realm true body. They had to set their sights even higher.

In history, most of the people who occupied Planet Blackjade were at the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm.

Top Seventh Tribulation Eminences had the strength to do so, but what was most important was their cultivation! They needed to travel the world and head to various places of opportunity… If their only outer realm true body was forever tied to Planet Blackjade, it wouldn’t be worth it even if they acc.u.mulated 100 million Outer Realm Essence Crystals before they died. This was because a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence could acc.u.mulate quite a bit of wealth over time through their travels.

Of course, if it were an Outer Realm Essence Crystal Star that was several times more valuable, top Seventh Tribulation Eminences would be willing to guard it! For example, Palace Lady Blood Phoenix had paid a huge price to set up a large number of Eighth Tribulation array formations. With them, she could withstand the attacks of a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence. At this point, her true body in her homeworld could often travel outside.

“There aren’t many people in the River of s.p.a.cetime who have the right to guard this place,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile. “You are an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, and you have only cultivated for 7,000 years. No one will dare s.n.a.t.c.h this place if you occupy it.”

“This is too valuable.” Meng Chuan felt that this gift was too precious. It was difficult to guard such a treasure land! However, it was also very difficult to s.n.a.t.c.h it.

If Origin Realm Chieftain and Hall Master Nightmare had occupied the area before him, Meng Chuan wouldn’t be able to conquer the planet due to a defensive array formation.

Realm Ancestor easily gave Meng Chuan the occupation rights, so all he needed to do was guard it.

“I still have to give it up once I die,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile. “I’ve always wanted to give it to someone, but my few good friends at the top Seventh Tribulation realm only have one outer realm true body. They can’t stay here forever; they have to roam the universe and cultivate. Hall Master Nightmare wants it, but why would I give it to him? I originally wanted to wait a little longer. It wouldn’t be too late to make a decision in the final year or two before I die of old age. But since you have broken through, you are the best candidate.”

“Senior Realm Ancestor, I’ll remember this favor. I’ll accept Planet Blackjade.” Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate any further.

“Once I die, this place will still be contested by all parties. It’s not considered a favor,” said Realm Ancestor with a smile. “Planet Blackjade’s Blackjade Crystal Sand requires time to build up wealth. It also requires you to arrange an Essence Soul avatar to stay here permanently.”

“Senior Realm Ancestor, do you need me to do anything in the future?” asked Meng Chuan.

“I told you before—help my two juniors and my homeworld if you have the chance,” said Realm Ancestor with a sigh. “As for me, I won’t be able to see the day you stand at the peak of the River of s.p.a.cetime.”

An Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence was too far away, but he believed that Meng Chuan could reach the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm and stand at the peak of the River of s.p.a.cetime.
