Meng Chuan, Old Fiend Black Win+d, Ta Gu, Palace Lord Snowjade, and the group of subordinates were teleported to the void where the original entrance was.
We’re out.
Meng Chuan and company also saw the group of subordinates.
Old Fiend Black Wind, Palace Lord Snowjade, and Ta Gu each stored their subordinates into their respective grotto-heavens. Only Meng Chuan didn’t bring any subordinates with him. He had originally come here to capture Emperor Roc. Becoming a member of the Cang Alliance was an unexpected gain.
“Everyone, don’t be in a hurry to leave,” said Ta Gu with a smile. “Now that we’ve joined the Cang Alliance, the most important thing is to get to know the other members.”
“We have to get to know the other members slowly, right?” Black Wind looked at Ta Gu. “Could it be that Brother Ta Gu has some fast method?”
“Everyone, please enter the Cang Alliance Space first,” said Ta Gu with a smile.
…
The Cang Alliance Space was an extremely special existence.
One could sense it anywhere in the River of Spacetime. Any member could condense an embodiment here. This was an illusory embodiment condensed from an Essence Soul mark. It didn’t have any strength.
In the illusory space, fog drifted.
There were over 1,000 stone stools.
Embodiments of Ta Gu, Meng Chuan, Snowjade, and Black Wind descended from the sky.
“We can communicate with any member of the Cang Alliance at any time. We can also condense an embodiment to meet them.” Ta Gu sighed. “There aren’t any restrictions, so many Fifth Tribulation Eminences wish to become a member of the Cang Alliance.”
How magical. Meng Chuan looked around and sighed in amazement.
Snowjade looked at Ta Gu. “How do we get to know the other members?”
“Don’t be in a hurry. Someone’s here.” Ta Gu turned his head to the side. An embodiment descended from the fog not far away. It was a purple-robed woman. Her ears were pointed, and she had long, jade-green hair. Her every frown and smile was extremely moving. This amazed Meng Chuan. This was only an embodiment. If the purple-robed woman’s true body were here, her charm would probably be much greater.
“This is my good friend, Zi Yao,” Ta Gu introduced.
“Everyone, just address me as Zi Yao,” said the purple-robed woman with a smile. “I’m also a member of the Cang Alliance. I love making friends the most. I’ve also gathered information on all Cang Alliance members. Of course, this information… If it’s for outsiders, it will naturally be sold at a high price. However, it’s free for those of the Cang Alliance.”
The purple-robed woman waved her hand as she spoke.
A large amount of information appeared in the void beside her, revealing the details of every member.
Meng Chuan and company carefully read through the information. With the speed of their minds, they naturally memorized everything in seconds.
Although the information seemed detailed, it wasn’t too important. Therefore, it was an unspoken rule for Cang Alliance members to share such information with each other.
“Thank you,” said Meng Chuan.
“Thank you, Sis Zi Yao,” said Black Wind gratefully. It was easier to interact with other members after obtaining such intelligence.
“There’s no need to thank me. Every new recruit to the Cang Alliance will need to give me an intelligence report on themselves. Describe yourself simply so that I can inform the other members. The other members will also know you,” said the purple-robed woman with a smile.
“Of course.” Black Wind nodded. He immediately waved his hand, and a simple piece of information regarding him appeared in the void.
Meng Chuan nodded and sent her his intelligence as well.
Snowjade didn’t say a word, but he also sent the intelligence.
According to the intelligence of the other hundreds of members, a short description of themselves would do.
For example, Meng Chuan described himself as City Lord Eastcalm. His homeworld was in Three Bay River System. He cultivated both his Physical Body and Essence Soul. He was at the Fifth Tribulation realm. He was good at…
In the outer realm, few people revealed their true names. For instance, City Lord Eastcalm, Palace Lord Snowjade, and Old Fiend Black Wind weren’t their true names. Even the name, Ta Gu—which seemed real—was also his alias in Shura Realm.
Meng Chuan named himself City Lord Eastcalm because he had future plans.
“Alright.” The purple-robed woman collected the three new intelligence reports. She knew Ta Gu’s information a long time ago. “What I gave you just now was the most basic intelligence about each member,” said the purple-robed woman with a smile. “There are also some tidbits of special intelligence. I can share some with you.”
Meng Chuan and company listened carefully.
“Zi Yao knows more than me since she has many friends in the Cang Alliance,” said Ta Gu.
The purple-robed woman smiled and said, “I’m just privy to more information. I’ll first talk about the eight Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the Cang Alliance. Most of them can’t be bothered to deal with Fifth Tribulation Eminences. If you wish to request their help? It’s only easy to get help from two of them. One of them is Lady of Icesoul; the other is Patriarch Fire Dragon. However, they are somewhat greedy. You have to pay a sufficient price for their help.”
Greedy? Meng Chuan and company listened carefully.
It was a good thing that a Sixth Tribulation Eminence was even willing to help.
Although the price could be very high, their help was very worth it.
“The Lady of Icesoul is the master of Icesoul Realm. She has a cold and arrogant personality. If you need her help, you have to talk business immediately,” said the purple-robed woman. “As for Patriarch Fire Dragon, he’s one of the Elders of the dragons’ 12 Ancestral Lands in the River of Spacetime.”
Ta Gu said, “In the River of Spacetime, the dragons’ strongest experts are the 12 Ancestral Land Elders. In this era, the dragons don’t have any Seventh Tribulation Eminences.”
“Oh?” Meng Chuan, Snowjade, and Black Wind listened carefully.
The dragons were still very powerful to them. However, the dragons had no Seventh Tribulation Eminences in this era.
“However, the dragons have ultimately produced an Eighth Tribulation Eminence in history. They naturally have the strength to ensure the longevity of their race,” said Ta Gu. “Unless you have the strength of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, don’t provoke the dragons.”
…
The few of them chatted; Meng Chuan and company learned all sorts of intelligence.
Meng Chuan now knew that the strongest Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the Cang Alliance was known as Saber Swordsman. Only the best alcohol—rare top-notch wine in the River of Spacetime—could attract his attention. He was already infinitely close to the Seventh Tribulation realm, but his body had yet to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. Otherwise, he would have long transcended the tribulation. Such an existence already had the partial strength of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Even the dragons had to respect him.
“Oh.”
Meng Chuan and company were briefed on the various big shots. When they heard about the only Seventh Tribulation Eminence in the Cang Alliance, their blood pumped in excitement.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon is a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. The more Meng Chuan understood, the more impressed he became.
Back then, Ancestral Master Archean Eon entered the outer realm as a cultivator from a low-level world. It was truly impressive for him to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.
“After chatting for so long, it’s about time,” said the purple-robed woman with a smile. “I’ll also give your intelligence to all the other members.”
Meng Chuan and company naturally didn’t object. It was easier to befriend the other members if they were familiar with them.
How many opportunities could a Fifth Tribulation Eminence find by cultivating alone?
The entire Cang Alliance was scattered across the River of Spacetime. If everyone knew each other, the number of opportunities they obtained would probably be more than ten times greater.
…
Yufang River System.
Snowjade took the lead to leave.
“I’m leaving too.” Meng Chuan bade his two companions farewell.
“No rush,” said Ta Gu immediately.
Black Wind immediately said, “Don’t be anxious. Brother Eastcalm. You haven’t truly joined a faction, right? A loose alliance like the Cang Alliance doesn’t count. I’m talking about peak factions in the River of Spacetime.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Indeed, I haven’t.”
“I’m currently in Shadow Lands. One can join this faction once they reach the Fifth Tribulation realm.” Black Wind invited him warmly. “I can recommend you. Shadow Lands is ranked in the top ten in the entire River of Spacetime. The members are very united. After joining…”
“Brother Black Wind, there’s no need to say anything else,” rejected Meng Chuan politely.
With the dossiers left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, he knew more about the top factions in the River of Spacetime than Black Wind.
These top factions had special means to maintain their existence. It was difficult for them to disappear even after hundreds of millions of years.
“I also wish to invite Brother Eastcalm to a faction,” said Ta Gu with a smile. “I’m from Eternal Tower. Eternal Tower has a long history. It’s able to rank in the top three out of the River of Spacetime’s numerous factions.”
“Although Eternal Tower is strong, it’s more loose. The members aren’t tight,” said Black Wind. “Our Shadow Lands is much more united.”
“Eternal Tower has low requirements for its members because we are strong enough. Furthermore, we mainly do business. What’s important is the willingness of both parties,” said Ta Gu with a smile. “Our Eternal Tower does business in the River of Spacetime. Some…”
Meng Chuan nodded immediately. “I’m willing to join.”
Ta Gu, who was prepared to share a long introduction, was slightly stunned.
“Which are you willing to join?” Black Wind was filled with anticipation.
“Eternal Tower,” said Meng Chuan.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon had been a member of Eternal Tower. The River of Spacetime had many factions. Which faction would he join? Meng Chuan had long decided.
Eternal Tower, you are the one!
