Chapter 567 - Void Catalog (1/2)
How can a Fifth Tribulation Eminence be so young? Meng Chuan was slightly stunned before looking at the ancient mirror curiously.
This mirror could accurately determine his age.
This type of treasure could only be refined by experts with extremely high attainments in the time lineage. The mirror could probe the time he had experienced simply by reflecting his appearance. The mirror showed that Meng Chuan had experienced 1,587 years since he was born.
“How did you reach the Fifth Tribulation realm in just 1,000-plus years?” asked the snake-tailed man. “Furthermore, you cultivate both your body and Essence Soul. You have even grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. How did you cultivate so quickly?”
At that moment, the Guardian had many guesses.
Reincarnator? Universe Wonder? A monstrous genius that has created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, or is he related to an… Eternal existence?
Being any one of these would make Meng Chuan a legend in the River of s.p.a.cetime!
Even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence can’t see through my age at a glance. It’s also impossible for them to use a treasure mirror to pry into other people’s ages randomly. Meng Chuan looked at the mirror. However, the owner of the cave abode has specially left behind a mirror here.
Meng Chuan knew that his cultivation time was very short.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, those who became Imperial Lords after cultivating for 300 years and newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences after cultivating for 2,000 years would reach the Fifth Tribulation realm after cultivating for more than 10,000 years. This was considered a relatively fast cultivation speed among Fifth Tribulation Eminences. If one spent 30,000 years to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm, it would be considered extremely slow. This was because Fourth Tribulation Eminences typically had 30,000-year lifespans.
As for Meng Chuan?
He had reached the Fifth Tribulation realm in just a tenth of the average time. Furthermore, he cultivated both his Essence Soul and his physical body. He had also grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws! This was simply too heaven-defying.
In fact, Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had reached the Heaven Earth realm over 100 years ago. If he had used the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique as his core, he would have long become an Imperial Lord. However, he delayed his breakthrough to the Imperial Lord realm because he placed most of his attention on his paramount technique.
“My perceptivity is a little higher,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He didn’t say anything else.
“No matter what the reason is,” the snake-tailed man looked at Meng Chuan and said, “the treasure bestowed by Master will be upgraded to second-cla.s.s since you have reached such a level in 1,000-plus years.:
“Second-cla.s.s?” Meng Chuan knew very well that no benefits came without reason. He asked, “I should have to pay a certain price for the so-called second-cla.s.s treasure, right?”
The cave abode’s owner had set up this cave abode for a reason. It was relatively unlikely that Meng Chuan would be given benefits for nothing.
“My master’s name is Cang Xing,” said the snake-tailed man. “His homeworld was a low-level world. Back when Master roamed the outer realm and was at the Fourth Tribulation realm, a forbidden creature appeared in our homeworld. It devoured Master’s homeworld. All living beings in the world were wiped out. None survived.
“After many years of cultivation, Master reached the Seventh Tribulation realm. Before his end, he set up many cave abodes and placed all the treasures he had acc.u.mulated during his life in the many cave abodes. He left them for future generations. He only has one request… to kill forbidden creatures.
“Your talent is outstanding. According to Master’s rules, you have the right to obtain a second-cla.s.s treasure. The condition is that you have to kill three Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures when you are at the Sixth Tribulation realm. When you are at the Seventh Tribulation realm, you have to kill one Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature.” The man with the snake tail said, “As long as you agree, you can choose any second-cla.s.s treasure.”
Meng Chuan frowned slightly.
Killing three Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures when he was at the Sixth Tribulation realm? He would be violating his promise if he didn’t kill the quota and attempted to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm! The karma affecting him would immediately increase; it would even affect his tribulation.
Although forbidden creatures were the common enemies of all life, there were extremely few of them! Many Tribulation Eminences had never seen forbidden creatures before. There were even fewer who deliberately pursued them.
For example, if a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature appeared in other river zones, why would Tribulation Eminences in G.o.ddess River Zone care? They were too far away! The river zone’s respective Eminences could deal with them.
“I have to kill them at the Sixth Tribulation realm. Likewise for the Seventh Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan softly. “There are restrictions on both realms.”
“Of course, the second condition only concerns you if you reach the Seventh Tribulation realm in the future,” said the man with the snake tail with a smile. “Even if you don’t kill a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature, you will only break your promise when you die of age. By then, karma will no longer affect you.”
Meng Chuan smiled.
Talking about killing a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature when one was at the Seventh Tribulation realm was targeted at those who had a chance of breaking through to the Eighth Tribulation realm. Since they were about to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, they had to kill a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature before they transcended the tribulation so they could end the karma.
“Although there are very few Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures, they can still be found,” said Meng Chuan. “However, Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures are virtually legends.”
Meng Chuan was confident in himself, so he naturally didn’t want to be easily bound by duty.
