Archean Eon Art-Chapter 672 - Dragon Ancestor’s Nine Trials Pagoda

Meng Chuan didn’t care about using the sacrificial picture scroll to deduce a physical body formulation because he mainly focused on the Essence Soul lineage. He didn’t want to spend a large amount of time on the physical body lineage. The improvement brought by the physical body lineage didn’t qualitatively change his strength at all. If he had the time, he might as well spend more time studying and cultivating. A Seventh Tribulation Eminence only had slightly more than 100,000 years to live. Time was very precious. If he spent the time he saved on cultivating his body in the Essence Soul lineage, his chances of reaching the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm would increase.

As for possessing a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan was rather interested. He could use this opportunity to experience the means of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

Nine Trials Pagoda. Meng Chuan was immediately filled with excitement when the sacrificial picture scroll invited him to Nine Trials Pagoda.

That’s the Nine Trials Pagoda! Legend has it that one can become an Eternal after completely clearing Nine Trials Pagoda. Meng Chuan still remembered Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s detailed records in the dossier.

The Dragon Ancestor refined the Nine Trials Pagoda at a high price.

The Dragon Ancestor had even invited more than one Eighth Tribulation Eminence to clear it. He himself had attempted it a few times, but he had failed to clear it.

Ancestral Master Archean Eon tried thrice in his life. His best result was clearing the fourth trial.

Ancestral Master Archean Eon had only cleared four of the nine trials. It was obvious how difficult it was.

Time to go!

One of Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars carried the sacrificial scroll. With a thought, he sensed the dark vortex inside the altar. A spacetime fluctuation immediately enveloped Meng Chuan.

Swoosh.

The Essence Soul avatar had already left Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.

Spacetime changed. When spacetime stabilized, Meng Chuan arrived in a dark space.

The dark space only spanned billions of kilometers. It was completely isolated from the outside world.

There was only one thing in this dark space-a towering, massive tower. The tower had three floors. The tower itself was built from a massive mysterious bone. The gray bone suffused starlight as if it was shaped into the tower.

This is the Nine Trials Pagoda! Meng Chuan could sense the pressure coming from the Nine Trials Pagoda. The long bone on the pagoda was over 50,000 kilometers long. The pressure was comparable to the Eighth Tribulation Eminence arm that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had collected.

According to Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s records, this was built with the bones of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s massive corpse. With this as a foundation, the Dragon Ancestor spent a large number of precious materials to refine them. Only then did the Nine Trials Pagoda possess such strength. Meng Chuan knew very well that the value of the materials used to construct the Nine Trials Pagoda probably exceeded 100 million cubes.

A figure slowly flew out from the Nine Trials Pagoda’s entrance. It was an elder with a turtle shell on his back.

“A living person has finally come to the Nine Trials Pagoda again.” The turtle-shelled elder smiled. His eyebrows twitched as he carefully scrutinized Meng Chuan. “You were invited here after creating an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. You’ve only been cultivating for slightly more than 5,000 years? You’re very young. Kid, my name is Bei.”

“Senior Bei,” greeted Meng Chuan humbly. According to Ancestral Master’s records, Senior Bei was the Nine Trials Pagoda’s host, arranged by Dragon Ancestor. At the very least, he was extremely terrifying in the Nine Trials Pagoda. If a Seventh Tribulation Eminence dared to act rashly, Senior Bei would easily kill them when he stirred the Nine Trials Pagoda’s might.

“I’m just a special array spirit; how can I be considered a senior?” The turtle-shelled elder chuckled. “I find you quite pleasing to the eye. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask.”

Meng Chuan knew that he had to get into Senior Bei’s good books. If Senior Bei was happy, he would tell him everything. Otherwise, Senior Bei wouldn’t be bothered to say anything “Senior Bei, can I come again in the future?” asked Meng Chuan.

“There’s no limit to the number of times you can come, but each visit needs to be 10,000 years apart at least,” said the turtle-shelled elder. “This is also a rule set by the Dragon Ancestor. After all, each trial’s expenditure is massive when activated. With the Dragon Ancestor’s petty personality, he’s the one who should profit. The Nine Trials Pagoda… is a rare initiative by the Dragon Ancestor to give benefits to the cultivators in his home universe.”

Meng Chuan sighed. Home universe? Eighth Tribulation Eminences—who can jump out of the River of Spacetime and roam other universes— do have a concept of home universes.

“Senior Bei, I can sense that the bones used in this Nine Trials Pagoda should be an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s bones. Do they originate from the same Eminence? Are they Eighth Tribulation Eminences from our universe?” Meng Chuan chatted casually. He knew that Senior Bei liked to chat when he was in a good mood because he had been lonely for too long. “It’s not an Eighth Tribulation Eminence from our universe,” said the turtle-shelled elder. “It’s an Eighth Tribulation Eminence corpse that Dragon Ancestor picked up when he was roaming beyond this universe. That corpse was rather special and was very suitable for refining into the Nine Trials Pagoda.”

“Picked up?” Meng Chuan was surprised. Such things can be picked up?

“Eighth Tribulation Eminences can jump out of the River of Spacetime and go to the past to see everything that has happened. They can also head to the future. They can even head to other universes.” The turtle-shelled elder sighed. “However, they ultimately aren’t Eternal. Their lifespans are still limited. No matter how they jump through the timeline and cross the universe, their lifespans will still decrease… “If they don’t wish to die, it will be very difficult for them to die before they reach the end of their lifespans. But when their time is almost up, an Eighth Tribulation Eminence will think of a way to break through to the Eternal realm. Many of these breakthrough methods are very dangerous, so it’s normal to leave corpses behind,” said the turtle-shelled elder.

Meng Chuan nodded.

That kid, Meng Chuan, has gone to Nine Trials River Zone? Realm Ancestor-who was fishing

-sensed something. He used karma to lock onto Meng Chuan’s location. Although the Nine Trials Pagoda had blurred his perception, he could roughly determine the area. It should be the Nine Trials Pagoda. The Nine Trials Pagoda is a test Senior Dragon Ancestor left for us juniors. It’s also an opportunity.

Realm Ancestor still respected Dragon Ancestor greatly. This was because, according to what he knew, Dragon Ancestor was probably the strongest Eighth Tribulation Eminence in the universe’s entire history. He was also rather benevolent toward his descendants.

Most of the strongest cultivators in every generation can enter the Nine Trials Pagoda. The Nine Trials Pagoda might even bestow them gifts, thought Realm Ancestor. There was no limit to the number of times one could be invited to the Nine Trials Pagoda. If one didn’t improve too much after the second and third time, they wouldn’t be given another chance. However, one would more or less receive some gifts during their first challenge of the Nine Trials Pagoda.

He’s gone to the Nine Trials Pagoda just like that? Fiend Eye sat in his chamber and looked in the direction of Nine Trials River Zone from afar. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Meng Chuan’s potential is too astonishing. There’s no keeping him down. He’s blessed by the light from providence, and he will ultimately soar. The light from providence was a mysterious thing.

In fact, only when a cultivator was strong could they accumulate the light shone down from providence.

With strength and talent, one would naturally be respected by others. They would be valued by the various factions. Some factions were willing to invest their resources on such existences. This was what being blessed by the light from providence meant. At the end of the day, it depended on how outstanding the cultivator was. For example, Meng Chuan’s son-Meng Anhad some light from providence shine on him, but it was also because Meng Chuan was strong and talented.

The stronger one was, the greater the impact they had on the world around them.

If one reached the Eighth Tribulation realm, they could easily change an era completely. Their favoritism was equivalent to the light from providence. Their enmity was a nightmare. If one became an Eternal existence, they could even destroy the universe. This had already exceeded the concept of the light from providence.

Meng Chuan went to the Nine Trials Pagoda? In a cave abode on Clear Spring Island, Guild Master Darkstar had also noticed the development.

Ever since he paid attention to Meng Chuan, the two were connected by karma. Thus, he could easily lock onto any of Meng Chuan’s avatars.

In the first challenge of the Nine Trials Pagoda, he will more or less receive a gift as long as he can clear the first trial. Guild Master Darkstar’s eyes were deep. A gift from Dragon Ancestor.

Dragon Ancestor was the wealthiest Eighth Tribulation Eminence born in this universe. He might also be the strongest. Even a casual gift from him was something that left Guild Master Darkstar envious.

It looks like he has quite the potential to be invited to the Nine Trials Pagoda at the Sixth Tribulation realm.

Even if you can reach the Seventh Tribulation realm in the future, it’s a pity that you’re currently still weak. Guild Master Darkstar was famous for his greed. He even dared to plot against Seventh Tribulation Eminences. After all, he feared very few people at his cultivation realm.

“Yuchang, keep an eye on City Lord Eastcalm -Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar in Nine Trials River Zone. Once you discover his location, inform me immediately,” ordered Guild Master Darkstar from afar.

“Yes.” After Yuchang received the order, he immediately sent an Essence Soul avatar to Nine Trials River Zone to lock onto Meng Chuan’s location more precisely.
