Chapter 747: First Meeting with Fiend Mountain’s Owner

Translator: CKtalon

In Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World, golden textual runes floated down and condensed into sentences. The sentences formed paragraphs, and the paragraphs gradually condensed into a chapter.

As he listened, a large number of insights surged into his mind. Meng Chuan listened like he was intoxicated. Now that he had grasped the two cornerstone laws of time and s.p.a.ce, he could use them to comprehend all profundities. However, he needed an endless amount of time to comprehend them.

As for the Eternal lecture, it explained everything.

Eternal and without doubts—they had truly comprehended everything. Just a few simple sentences were enough to enlighten benighted people.

Meng Chuan was shocked and impressed.

Comprehending the Dao in the morning leaves one content even if one dies in the evening. An Eternal existence represented the pinnacle of the Dao.

Unknowingly, he had been listening to the lecture for more than two hours. After finis.h.i.+ng the lecture, Meng Chuan snapped out of his daze. Although the mighty voice on Fiend Mountain’s peak continued to repeat itself, having the lecture repeat didn’t help much. Meng Chuan had completely memorized it.

He already had the complete lecture in his mind.

This opportunity bestowed by Fiend Mountain’s owner is truly a huge opportunity. Meng Chuan also felt that Fiend Mountain’s owner was indeed ‘generous’ to leave such an opportunity here for any capable person. However, there were too few people who could reach Fiend Mountain’s peak with their willpower. If one’s willpower wasn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the lecture. Even a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence might not be able to reach the peak.

Instead, those from the Essence Soul lineage had a higher chance of reaching the mountaintop.

According to what Meng Chuan knew, only a handful of people reached Fiend Mountain’s peak in every era.

If I obtain such a huge opportunity, I naturally have to give part of it to Fiend Mountain’s owner. Meng Chuan felt that Fiend Mountain’s owner’s request was reasonable.

Fiend Mountain’s owner had even taken the initiative to bestow benefits if one offered Purple and Gold mystic techniques. This showed his personality—Fiend Mountain’s owner could choose not to give anything. It was only right for Meng Chuan to pay him back with a mystic technique after obtaining the opportunity he offered.

If the mystic technique was brilliant enough, he even took the initiative to bestow more gifts. This filled Meng Chuan with curiosity toward Fiend Mountain’s owner.

…

In Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, Meng Chuan lived in seclusion in a valley as he pondered over the Eternal lecture.

No medium can contain this lecture? Meng Chuan sat in the study and attempted to write on an ancient stone slab. However, the words vanished as soon as he finished writing. It was as though an invisible law had prevented him from doing so. Meng Chuan pondered, For example, Eighth Tribulation Eminences can pa.s.s down legacies through special mediums, which typically have limited impartation chances. The Eternal lecture seems to have higher requirements.

I can’t even record the textual runes, yet Fiend Mountain’s owner could record the complete lecture? Meng Chuan sighed in amazement.

He listened to the lecture on the mountaintop, so he naturally had memories of it. However, it was extremely difficult to project the scene in his memories in the outside world. It was like an ant trying to carry a mountain—it was impossible to replicate it.

I can’t record it or reproduce it. Fiend Mountain’s owner also didn’t restrict me from spreading it. Meng Chuan gave up trying and began to study the lecture carefully.

The entire lecture consisted of 16,059 characters.

Every sentence had endless meanings. When the sentences were combined, they were even more profound.

Meng Chuan was completely immersed in it. His Essence Soul avatar—which was far away on Dry Origin Mountain—was also focused on studying it. After grasping the Painting Dao mystic technique—six-stroke runic seal—Meng Chuan was used to dissecting his target into six layers to comprehend any ultimate technique.

Meng Chuan only stopped studying the lecture after 320 years under Dry Origin Mountain’s time acceleration.

I’ve finally finished comprehending it. In Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World, six layers of paintings were formed. Each layer was an understanding of the lecture, and the six layers of paintings were completely different.

It’s only 16,059 characters. With my Essence Soul’s speed of comprehension and perception, I took 320 years to finish comprehending them. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. Given my current realm, I’ve comprehended everything I can. Next, I need to fuse the six-layered insights into one.

Meng Chuan familiarly combined them.

After grasping the six-stroke runic seal mystic technique, he had done the dissection and comprehension of matters before fusing them into one too many times.

In less than a year, a complete mystic technique appeared in Meng Chuan’s mind.

Hum.

The complete mystic technique had over 60,000 words. When Meng Chuan condensed a chapter in his Essence Soul World, the entire mystic technique chapter emitted a purple glow.

I’ve figured it out. Meng Chuan smiled.

The Eternal lecture focused on one’s willpower. The mystic technique one created based on it would also emit light from one’s mind.

The purple light was the level of the mystic technique Meng Chuan had comprehended.

After creating the mystic technique he had been studying all these years, Meng Chuan’s willpower had transformed. However, he still couldn’t withstand the evolution of the s.p.a.cetime law. Clearly, an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence required terrifying willpower.

I really have to thank Fiend Mountain’s owner for greatly strengthening my willpower. I have to give him a copy of this mystic technique now. Meng Chuan searched for paper and other items and tried to record it down.

He realized that it was similarly difficult to record it down. In the end, he used a piece of Ice Wonder Jade—worth more than 10,000 cubes—as a medium to record the entire mystic technique. Furthermore, he felt that this piece of jade would collapse after learning it once.

I’ve never heard of such a willpower mystic technique before. I don’t know its exact value either, but after Fiend Mountain’s owner obtains it, he’s willing to give up to a billion cubes… The value of this mystic technique should exceed one billion cubes.

Meng Chuan knew that it was precious, but due to his limited horizons, he didn’t know its true value.

He was a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence of the Essence Soul lineage. At his realm, it was extremely difficult for his willpower to improve by even a tiny bit. However, this mystic technique allowed him to transform!

To an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, the improvement of their willpower meant an extended lifespan!

…

Deep in Fiend Mountain was an ancient cave abode.

As long as one acc.u.mulated 1,000 Sixth Tribulation Life Core fragments, 10 Seventh Tribulation Life Cores, or at least a Purple-grade mystic technique, they could come here to awaken Fiend Mountain’s owner. If one didn’t have enough treasures, they would be courting death if they dared to awaken Fiend Mountain’s owner.

“Senior Fiend Mountain,” shouted Meng Chuan as he stood in front of the ancient cave abode. He had taken the initiative to awaken Fiend Mountain’s owner.

As soon as he finished speaking—

The dark-red cave abode door slowly opened as Meng Chuan stepped in.

After walking for a moment, Meng Chuan saw a figure sitting cross-legged in front of him. His posture was identical to the Eternal existence on the mountaintop; it also had a similar charm.

His hair was curled as though there was an endless s.p.a.ce hidden within it. His body—which was sitting cross-legged—seemed to be filled with endless pressure, making Meng Chuan feel pressured.

He was like a statue, motionless. However, the pressure he exerted on Meng Chuan was too great. Facing him, Meng Chuan was like an ant facing a celestial body! It was as though a single wave of energy could annihilate him.

Fiend Mountain’s owner gives me a terrifying feeling. In front of him, a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence can be annihilated with a thought. Meng Chuan understood this point.

Whoosh.

The seated figure slowly opened his eyes. The time flow within a ten-foot radius returned to normal.

Two pocket universes were hidden in his eyes. Meng Chuan was extremely certain of this when he saw Fiend Mountain’s owner. This was because at his realm, Fiend Mountain’s owner’s eyes had become even larger than Supreme Yang Stars.

Meng Chuan could clearly see stars in his eyes, and cultivators were flying in the cosmos.

His two eyes contain two pocket universes? And his hair—every strand of hair is an independent s.p.a.cetime? Meng Chuan sensed the other party’s aura, but Fiend Mountain’s owner didn’t hide it.

“You’ve cultivated for 17,000 years, and you’re a half-step Eighth Tribulation realm of the Essence Soul lineage?” Fiend Mountain’s owner had a smile on his lips. His eyes were vast and unfathomable as he observed Meng Chuan; his voice was even gentler. “Furthermore, I can see one of your Essence Soul avatars in a distant s.p.a.cetime. It emits a boundless Eternal aura.”
