Chapter 532 - The Price for Becoming Stronger (1/2)
In the silent void outside the Chaos Hole.
The turtle-sh.e.l.led elder, Xuan Fang, smiled at Emperor Roc as he took the treasures one by one.
“It’s still slightly short,” muttered Xuan Fang as he chuckled.
“This should definitely total up to 500 Outer Realm Essence Crystals.” After Emperor Roc took out another piece of refinement material, he refused to take out another piece.
Xuan Fang said in disdain, “I have to specially sell these treasures for Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Now that Heaven Peak River System doesn’t have Black Dragon Planet, I have to travel all the way to other river systems to sell them. Forget it. I can barely count it as 500 cubes.” With that said, he waved his hand and put away all the treasures.
Emperor Roc’s heart ached. However, he knew that Xuan Fang had a much greater chance of killing Meng Chuan than him doing the deed personally. Not only was Xuan Fang much stronger, but he was also especially adept at the karmic lineage.
“Alright, I’ll naturally do the job after taking your treasures. I care about karma the most,” said Xuan Fang with a smile.
Emperor Roc was relieved.
Ordinary Tribulation Eminences placed great importance on karma. When it came to ent.i.ties who studied karma, they placed even greater importance on it. Xuan Fang wouldn’t want to owe a huge karmic debt to anyone, even if he had to give up all his treasures to resolve the karma.

“Lead the way,” said Xuan Fang.
Emperor Roc nodded. “Follow me.” The two Tribulation Eminences immediately flew towards the Chaos Hole.
They first flew past the accretion disc before flying into the Chaos Hole’s depths.
“A newly-advanced Imperial Lord can enter a Chaos Hole’s depths? I wonder what kind of rare treasure he has. I’ve only heard of such rare treasures in legends,” muttered the turtle-sh.e.l.led old man, Xuan Fang. “From the looks of it, this Meng Chuan has quite the background. Are you sure there are no other powerful experts in his homeworld?”
“I don’t wish to owe you any karma either. I naturally won’t lie about such matters,” replied Emperor Roc. “Besides, Brother Xuan Fang, you are good at divination. You should know that I’m right.”
“He’s the strongest expert in a middle-sized world.” The turtle-sh.e.l.led elder nodded slightly. “After killing him, all his treasures will be mine.”
Emperor Roc nodded as his heart ached. “They’re naturally yours.”
Meng Chuan definitely carried many treasures as he journeyed around the outer realm. Because Meng Chuan could enter the Chaos Hole’s depths, it gave the illusion that the treasures he had on him were rather powerful.
With Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures, Meng Chuan can enter the Chaos Hole’s depths. Perhaps these treasures are worth thousands of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Emperor Roc guessed. However, if he wanted a Fourth Tribulation Eminence to do the deed, the Fourth Tribulation Eminence would definitely obtain the war spoils. As a Third Tribulation Eminence, he would be tempting fate by trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the war spoils.

In the Chaos Hole’s depths, where time flowed 60-fold faster.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the darkness. He had cultivated in the Chaos Hole for over 300 years, so he had gotten used to the darkness. Meng Chuan was over 700 years old. He had spent 300 years cultivating in Myriad Flower Realm on Black Dragon Planet. He then spent over 300 years cultivating in the Chaos Hole. His life in Archean Eon Realm was rather interesting. After stepping into the outer realm, he did his best to cultivate. The lonely cultivation affected Meng Chuan’s personality. His personality and mental state were further affected because he spent 300-plus years in the Chaos Hole.
Meng Chuan also realized this problem. Therefore, he always insisted on hosting lectures at Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. He taught generations of Archean Mountain disciples. He often stayed in contact with his disciples, allowing him to slow down his mental state’s sedation.
Oh? Meng Chuan suddenly sensed something. Someone’s here? One is Emperor Roc, while the other seems even stronger than it?
After cultivating in the Chaos Hole for more than 300 years, his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique finally broke through and reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
This ultimate technique was much more brilliant than Selfless Formless Sword. Upon reaching the perfected Heaven Earth realm, its technique realm was comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence.
In regards to technique realm, newly-advanced First Tribulation Eminences were typically at the perfected Heaven Earth realm. Second Tribulation Eminences’ technique realm might be slightly higher, but their improvement was limited.
A qualitative change only happened once one reached the Third Tribulation realm.
His Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique —which was at the perfected Heaven Earth realm-had already changed qualitatively. It was much stronger compared to ordinary perfected Heaven Earth realm techniques.
It hired a helper. Without any hesitation, Meng Chuan flew deeper into the Chaos Hole. “What?” Xuan Fang and Emperor Roc were alarmed as they silently approached.
Xuan Fang could already sense Meng Chuan. Emperor Roc had long confirmed it through karma.
“He actually discovered us so early?” Xuan Fang was somewhat surprised as he looked at Emperor Roc beside him. “He must have a treasure protecting him,” said Emperor Roc.
However, Emperor Roc had no idea that Meng Chuan was in no way inferior to him when it came to technique realm! In fact, Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was more inclined towards domains. Emperor Roc was more inclined towards direct combat. “I’m not good at resisting the gravitational pull. I can’t get any closer.” Emperor Roc quickly stopped. “I’ll be counting on you, Brother Xuan Fang.”
“Leave it to me.” Xuan Fang continued flying in with a solemn expression. He could sense Meng Chuan’s position.
As Meng Chuan flew deeper into the Chaos Hole, his speed decreased. The number of s.p.a.cetime distortions in the Chaos Hole’s depths was clearly increasing.
