Chapter 135 - Celestial Pillar

The gigantic beast swallowed Meng Chuan; he was constantly sucked down the black stormy vortex.

After a while, he detected solid ground with his perception domain. He used his movement technique, silently landed, then looked around warily.

Master said that this is Archean Mountain’s most important treasured land. Meng Chuan scanned his surroundings carefully. He wants me to obtain a powerful opportunity, but where is the opportunity?

A faint white fog covered his surroundings. As the fog wafted about, he could see vague outlines of pillars that reached towards the heavens!

Meng Chuan looked around him. These towering pillars were everywhere. Every pillar was equidistant from him.

There are a total of 12 pillars. All of them reach great heights, and they are arranged in a huge circle. Meng Chuan took a look at the ground. The ground was made of a special black rock. He had never seen it before in the outside world.

Dong!

Meng Chuan kicked the ground.

In the outside world, a crater over 100 feet wide would be produced if he exerted a little strength into his kick! However, the block rock trembled slightly but remained undamaged. The ground wasn’t even chipped.

Where is the opportunity? Meng Chuan’s perception domain allowed him to see more than the naked eye. However, he did not discover any hidden opportunities within 200 feet of where he stood.

The most eye-catching things here are the 12 pillars. I’ll take a look at them first. Meng Chuan walked towards one of the pillars cautiously.

Suddenly, Meng Chuan saw red fog rise from the ground up ahead. Red fog rose and gathered, forming a red-robed man. The red-robed man had killing intent in his eyes while he looked at Meng Chuan. He charged at Meng Chuan.

It has no life. It’s formed by special forces. Meng Chuan’s two-hundred-foot domain easily saw through the figure.

Swoosh.

He instantly struck out with his saber, slicing through the red-robed man.

His strength is equivalent to a newly-advanced Godfiend. He’s weak. Meng Chuan calmly looked at the red-robed man. The red-robed man’s figure turned back into the red fog—which began permeating the surroundings.

Red fog rose from the ground and condensed one red-robed figure after another. Hundreds appeared at the same time, and more were being produced.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A large number of red-robed men charged at Meng Chuan. They were varied in build, some big and tall, others thin and short. Some ran fast while others ran slow. Some were bare-handed, while others held all kinds of weapons.

Humph. Meng Chuan stood where he was and waited for the red-robed men to reach him before he made his move.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning and moved bizarrely. He passed through the red-robed figures, and his saber struck them silently. Meng Chuan was using his fastest move—Extreme Yin Stance! The Extreme Yin Stance was a variation of the Heart Saber Stance. It ignored the Yin-Yang Transformation and pursued speed instead. It was very suitable for killing weaker opponents.

His saber struck out silently. With one slash, he could slice through three to four red-robed men. Following that, he used his movement technique before slashing at two red-robed men horizontally.

The saber kept changing direction silently.

In the blink of an eye, over 100 red-robed men were sliced apart and transformed into red fog, causing the surrounding fog to grow thicker.

Oh? Meng Chuan immediately realized that his protective Quintessential Essence could no longer withstand the dense red fog. It instantly seeped into his body and his sea of consciousness.

The red fog didn’t affect his body; it affected his consciousness. He had the urge to go crazy.

With a thought, his Essence Soul blocked the red fog, allowing him to maintain his lucidity.

The number of red-robed men is increasing. Meng Chuan noticed that he wasn’t in a favorable position. The more he killed, the more red-robed men appeared. The red-robed men’s strength was increasing as well.

After Meng Chuan killed over 1000 red-robed men, there were even sharpshooters among the red-robed men! They shot from afar; their arrows were so terrifying that he didn’t dare use his body to block them.

The red-robed men are growing stronger. A few of them are approaching the strength of a Great Solar Godfiend. Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed. He continued using his movement technique. He was able to control the battlefield, ensuring that only a small number of red-robed men could attack him simultaneously.

This fog… Meng Chuan could still withstand the red-robed men’s onslaught since his speed was comparable to that of a Regis Godfiend. If he wanted to escape, they wouldn’t be able to catch up. He controlled the flow of the battle, easily spitting them into small groups before slaying them! However, the thick red fog’s impact on his sea of consciousness was constantly increasingly. His Essence Soul struggled, allowing a sliver of the red fog to enter his sea of consciousness.

Meng Chuan even felt his heart burning with madness.

I can’t continue killing them. The more I kill, the thicker the red fog becomes. I’ll lose control. Meng Chuan stopped killing. He could only rely on his movement techniques to escape the thousand-plus red-robed men.

At the very least, he knew how powerful his perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body was now. The red-robed men mostly had Indestructible Godfiend strength. Very few of them had a Great Solar Godfiend’s strength. If they did, Meng Chuan would have long failed to hold out if they all had a Great Solar Godfiend’s strength! Luckily, he easily shrugged them off with his speed. The red-robed men didn’t pose a threat to Meng Chuan as he zoomed around the battlefield.

After running for a while, the red-robed men suddenly collapsed, thickening the thick red fog once again.

Not good! Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul couldn’t put up a defense as the red fog drowned his sea of consciousness.

At that instant, the red fog receded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The red fog receded into the black rock, and everything around him returned to normal.

However, a white fog wafted over. It opened up a path for Meng Chuan. It led to a towering pillar in the southeast.

It wants me to head over? Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled. He tried to take two steps to the side, but the white fog formed an invisible barrier that prevented him from heading elsewhere.

I can only move forward. Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate and walked forward. He also carefully observed his surroundings. The other 11 pillars were blurry in the white fog, and he couldn’t get close to them.

After walking for nearly three kilometers, he reached the pillar.

The towering pillar was pitch-black, but it glowed red.

Swoosh.

A beam of light flew out from the pillar and landed on Meng Chuan.

A tiny crystal drilled into Meng Chuan’s body. This crystal was even smaller than a speck of dust! It was smaller than anything Meng Chuan had seen before. It was so small that his Quintessential Essence and body couldn’t even block it. It easily entered Meng Chuan’s body and arrived at Meng Chuan’s sternum—where his conception vessel acupoint laid.

The conception vessel acupoint was an extremely important acupoint in a Godfiend body.

Boom!

As the tiny crystal entered the conception vessel acupoint, there was a loud boom. The acupoint completely transformed and formed a separate space. It could be compared to the dantian space and sea of consciousness.

Middle dantian! Meng Chuan came to a realization.

The lower dantian was where Quintessential Essence gathered. In the middle dantian—at the conception vessel acupoint—Regis Godfiends could condense Godfiend Blood Crystals when cultivating their Godfiend bodies. Godfiend Blood Crystals were gathered in the middle dantian.

The upper dantian was the sea of consciousness. It was where the Essence Soul resided.

Only a Regis Godfiend can open up the middle dantian. That tiny crystal actually helped me open up my middle dantian? Meng Chuan was still puzzled. When he looked at the strange, tiny crystal, information poured into his consciousness.

Completely motionless, Meng Chuan stood in front of the towering pillar. He needed some time to digest the information that had been shoved into his consciousness.

Whoosh.

A dark vortex appeared beside him and swallowed Meng Chuan.

…

Meng Chuan was thrown out of the treasured land.

He staggered to his feet and looked around. He saw his master and the female in golden-white robes.

I’m out? Meng Chuan was somewhat dazed. How long had it been since he entered?

“He came out in just an hour. That was fast.” Supremacy Luotang inquired, “Meng Chuan, what sort of opportunity did you obtain?”

By the side, Supremacy Qin Wu smiled and said, “The length of time spent in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven has nothing to do with an opportunity’s quality. Meng Chuan, what kind of opportunity did you obtain?”

“What did I get?” Meng Chuan was still dazed. This was because the information the tiny, mysterious crystal had transmitted into his consciousness shocked him.
