Chapter 608 - Palace Lord Snowjade’s Ending

Years passed. Meng Chuan tempered his willpower in preparation for his tribulation.

In the Cang Alliance Space.

Meng Chuan sat in a corner and leisurely chatted with his old friend, Mountain Lord Boneserve. Suddenly, he heard cursing from afar.

“That Fu Sui is too shameless. He didn’t tell us how dangerous the first path in the ruin is. My Essence Soul has also reached the Third Tribulation realm. I only traveled the path for six years. Yet, I had to return to the dragon ancestral land to borrow a lot of treasures to heal my Essence Soul. He traveled that path for 15 years, and his Essence Soul is weaker than mine. I don’t believe that he doesn’t know how terrifying the Essence Soul injuries are,” said a dragon-headed elder angrily.

“Brother Long Zheng, you have also grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws after experiencing six years of epiphanies. You have made a breakthrough, so there are both pros and cons.”

“Haha, there have been quite a number of people cursing Fu Sui in recent years. But aren’t they still entering one by one?” The two Tribulation Eminences laughed as they spoke.

The dragon-headed elder was furious. “I was very careful when I went to the ruin. I knew that I would injure my Essence Soul. I’m at the Essence Soul Third Tribulation realm after all. I only took the path for six years, yet I suffered such a huge loss? City Lord Eastcalm, Old Fiend Black Wind, and Heavenly Dream Realm’s tiger king aren’t any better either. They deliberately helped Fu Sui deceive us.”

His companion reminded him, “Brother Long Zheng, City Lord Eastcalm is there.” The dragon-headed elder glanced at Meng Chuan and Mountain Lord Boneserve from afar and scoffed. “Did I say something wrong? Fu Sui is the main culprit. City Lord Eastcalm, Old Fiend Black Wind, and that tiger king from Heavenly Dream Realm are accomplices!”

Just as Meng Chuan was about to speak, Mountain Lord Boneserve-who was beside him-sat there and shouted indifferently, “You old dragon, are you someone who can only take advantage of others and not suffer losses? Exploring ruins is always a combination of good and bad. Fu Sui was indeed vague when he sent the message to the Cang Alliance. However, Brother Eastcalm’s message wasn’t just for you. We also received it. Brother Eastcalm repeatedly warned us of the danger, but you still took the initiative to take the first path. Who can you blame for having your Essence Soul injured?”.

Indeed, Meng Chuan had made it sound rather serious when he delivered the message.

As Fu Sui had threatened Meng Chuan during the negotiations, their relationship had become somewhat strained. Since he had to inform all the Fifth Tribulation Eminences in the Cang Alliance, Meng Chuan didn’t want to harm the other members. He explained the dangers clearly and repeatedly reminded them of the danger. Even a large number of forbidden creatures inside had gone crazy, so there was definitely something strange about it.

“Reminded us of the danger? He helped pass the message so that more powerful Eminences would enter.” The dragon-headed elder scoffed.

“Long Zheng.” Meng Chuan said, “After you came out, you told all the members of the Cang Alliance that Fu Sui was despicable and shameless. You talked about how severe your Essence Soul injuries were. However, none of those who decided to go to the ruin world gave up. Even more people ended up going to the ruin world.”

The dragon-headed elder was stunned.

Yes.

As the members left the ruin world one after another, news spread in the Cang Alliance Space. This further confirmed the usefulness of the three paths. Not only did people not give up the opportunity, but more members searched for Fu Sui, hoping to head to the ruin. Fu Sui earned more because of this.

Meng Chuan looked at him. “Even if you were given a choice to choose again now, you will probably still enter!”

The dragon-headed elder frowned slightly. He couldn’t lie to himself. Previously, he had only grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. Improvement of his cultivation became more strenuous, and he couldn’t see any hope. Therefore, after confirming that the Black Mountain ruin world could bring him hope of breaking through, he decided to take the risk.

Now, he was only somewhat sour. It would be great if he could pay a lower price.

“By helping Fu Sui so much, I’m afraid you have earned quite a bit too, am I right?” The dragon-headed elder scoffed.

“He didn’t give me any of the Outer Realm Essence Crystals he earned,” said Meng Chuan.

The dragon-headed elder stood up and scoffed. “I’ve already recovered from the injuries to my Essence Soul. There are a few people in the Cang Alliance who are heavily injured. They have no hope of being treated, and they hate Fu Sui to the core. Fu Sui will ultimately pay the price for earning such Outer Realm Essence Crystals.”

With that said, he left the Cang Alliance Space. His two companions left as well.

Mountain Lord Boneserve chuckled softly and said, “Fortune and disaster are different sides of the same coin when exploring ruins. One has to pay the corresponding price for choosing the first path. Who can be blamed now that they are suffering?”

“However, Fu Sui’s words were indeed very vague,” said Mountain Lord Boneserve with a sigh. “From the intelligence I’ve gathered, the price for someone with a weak Essence Soul like him to be in a state of epiphany for 15 years would definitely have terrifying consequences. There’s no way to treat his Essence Soul’s injuries.”

“That’s right.” Meng Chuan nodded. Now that people were coming out of Fiend Mountain one after another, more people knew about the path of epiphany’s danger thanks to the increasing amount of information they had.

Many also guessed that Fu Sui’s Essence Soul had to be severely injured.

“His Essence Soul is heavily injured. He can’t heal it properly, so he can only stall for time,” said Meng Chuan softly. “Therefore, he’s even more unscrupulous.”

“Yes, he’s currently trying his best to earn Outer Realm Essence Crystals so that he can live longer.” Mountain Lord Boneserve nodded. “It’s strange. The more everyone knows about the three paths in the ruin, the greater the number of Eminences heading to the ruin.”

“That place is dangerous, but it’s a place of hope for many cultivators,” said Meng Chuan.

Mountain Lord Boneserve nodded slightly before asking, “By the way, I heard that Palace Lord Snowjade is from the same river system as you. You are both from Three Bay River System?”

“Yeah.” Meng Chuan nodded. “He entered the Cang Alliance with me. I’ve heard about his situation. He goes back and forth between lucidity and craziness.”

“Quite a few people have come out of the second path. He’s the only one who went crazy.” Mountain Lord Boneserve sighed.

“Sigh.” Meng Chuan shook his head gently.

Black Wind had also traveled the second path, and his strength had increased greatly. Although Meng Hu’s situation was not too good, he didn’t go crazy. Although the subsequent Eminences had some troubles, none of them went crazy, but Snowjade had gone mad!

Palace Lord Snowjade—who had a relatively weak willpower-would occasionally be lucid while crazy at other times. When he was lucid, he would search for a way to heal himself. He had also requested to meet more than one Sixth Tribulation Eminence, but they were unable to treat him. When he went crazy, he would wander the outer realm. Now, he had long left Three Bay River System, to the point of leaving Goddess River Zone.

Palace Lord Snowjade’s outcome made Meng Chuan sigh.

It’s really not easy to become a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Meng Chuan sighed. Even if one grasped a Sixth Tribulation law on the path of epiphany, their Essence Souls would be severely injured. Even if they don’t die immediately, they will suffer endless torture. It is impossible for them to transcend the tribulation and become a true Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

Outside Archean Eon Realm, in the dark and silent outer realm void.

A purple halo enveloped a figure and appeared outside Archean Eon Realm. Inside the halo was Meng An.

I’m back. Meng An charged forward. A rift appeared in Archean Eon Realm’s membrane, and he immediately entered it.

As a living being of Archean Eon Realm, he could enter easily without any obstacles.

An’er? Inside Archean Mountain’s Heaven Pavilion, Meng Chuan was extremely surprised. When his son appeared outside Archean Eon Realm, he had sensed it through karma! His son’s appearance hadn’t changed much. He was much staider and stronger.

An’er is back. Meng Chuan was very excited and happy.

He immediately took a step and traversed tens of thousands of kilometers.

Dad? Meng An—who had just rushed into Archean Eon Realm-saw the white-haired Meng Chuan cross the void and appear in front of him, smiling at him. “Dad, quickly bring me into the Heaven and Earth Great Hall,” said Meng An immediately, ignoring everything else.

Heaven and Earth Great Hall? Meng Chuan’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. The Heaven and Earth Great Hall had the ability to weaken karmic attacks. It was a cornerstone treasure refined by Ancestral Master Archean Eon.

“Let’s go!” Meng Chuan held his son’s hand, took a step forward, crossed the grotto-heaven’s obstruction, and entered Heaven and Earth Great Hall.

To enter Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s grotto-heaven while inside Archean Eon Realm took only a single step. Meng An was somewhat shocked by his father’s strength. He only relaxed when he entered the Heaven and Earth Great Hall.
