Chapter 684 - First Meeting with Hall Lord White Avian

“Ah Chuan, are you alright?” Liu Qiyue asked worriedly.

“My Essence Soul avatar has already returned. It’s naturally fine,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “At my cultivation realm, as long as I don’t provoke an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, my homeworld’s true body won’t be threatened.”

Meng Chuan didn’t know much about how terrifying an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s means were.

Liu Qiyue nodded slightly and asked curiously, “Ah Chuan, you told me that Seventh Tribulation Eminences are the peak existences in the entire River of Spacetime. They care about their reputation very much. That Seventh Tribulation Eminence actually did an act of bullying by even ambushing you? Doesn’t he care about his reputation?”

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and nodded. “In terms of evil and sin, he can’t be ranked in the top five among Seventh Tribulation Eminences. But in terms of shamelessness, he’s one of the best.”

In terms of sin and ruthlessness, the two Seventh Tribulation Eminences from Black Fiend Hall were undoubtedly in the top two. They didn’t hide their evilness at all.

On the surface, Guild Master Darkstar cared a lot about his reputation. His sneak attacks were also to snatch treasures. He targeted peak Sixth Tribulation Eminences and experts. Therefore, he couldn’t be ranked in the top five in terms of sin.

“His name is Guild Master Darkstar,” said Meng Chuan. “He established the Darkstar Guild single-handedly. He always has his eyes on Sixth Tribulation Eminences and even stronger existences. Once he discovers an opportunity to rob them of their treasures, he will use any means to ambush them.”

“Ah Chuan, how did you escape?” asked Liu Qiyue. “With the spatial law?”

Meng Chuan was delighted to have grasped the spatial law. He had long shared his accomplishment with his wife.

“It wasn’t easy to escape from Guild Master Darkstar’s sneak attack.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “It’s Guild Master Fiend Eye. I’m also very surprised that he appeared…”

Liu Qiyue listened as Meng Chuan spoke. Liu Qiyue had learned many secrets about the River of Spacetime from her husband over the years.

Liu Qiyue nodded. “These Seventh Tribulation Eminences have their own ways of doing things.”

“For them to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm, none of them are ordinary—even Guild Master Darkstar… I have a nagging feeling that the information I know is only superficial,” said Meng Chuan thoughtfully. In the previous skirmish, he vaguely felt that shamelessness was only the surface of Guild Master Darkstar’s behavior.

Huh? Meng Chuan’s heart suddenly stirred. He said to his wife, “Qiyue, Hall Lord has summoned me.”

“Hall Lord White Avian?” asked Liu Qiyue.

Meng Chuan nodded. “He summoned me personally.”

As long as one knew more about White Avian Hall, they would understand that many of White Avian Hall’s matters were mainly managed by Hall Lord Blazing Sun. It was very rare for Hall Lord White Avian to summon someone personally.

…

White Avian Hall headquarters.

Whoosh.

The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan traversed the distant spacetime and finally arrived.

White Avian Hall is grand indeed. At a glance, Meng Chuan saw a hall that spanned about five billion kilometers. The walls were plain, and there were buildings inside. He could even see many Sixth Tribulation Eminences chatting in groups.

White Avian Hall’s official members had their own cave abodes. There were usually thousands of Sixth Tribulation Eminences gathered here. Many were special lifeforms.

“City Lord Eastcalm actually instantly killed five top Sixth Tribulation Eminences when attacked by the Darkstar Guild. It’s said that he obtained an Eighth Tribulation treasure—the Samsara Array Formation.”

“Guild Master Darkstar personally took action but failed to kill him immediately. Right on the heels of that, Guild Master Fiend Eye appeared and helped him fend off Guild Master Darkstar. Guild Master Fiend Eye clearly has an extraordinary relationship with City Lord Eastcalm.”

“Who doesn’t know Guild Master Fiend Eye’s personality? He doesn’t care about any friendships. He must have eyed City Lord Eastcalm’s astonishing potential. According to the latest intelligence, City Lord Eastcalm has only cultivated for slightly over 5,000 years, but he has already grasped three Sixth Tribulation laws. One of them includes the spatial law. With such talent and potential… there’s no doubt that he will reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. He might be an existence like Origin Realm Chieftain.”

“That’s right. City Lord Eastcalm is an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence! Our White Avian Hall will soon produce an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence!”

Many Sixth Tribulation Eminences were gathered at White Avian Hall. They were discussing the major event that had just happened—Darkstar Guild’s attack on City Lord Eastcalm!

This information was too explosive.

The attention of many Seventh Tribulation Eminences caused Meng Chuan’s cultivation time to be completely exposed.

He had cultivated for slightly over 5,000 years and grasped three Sixth Tribulation laws… This was enough to shock the entire River of Spacetime!

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan walked into White Avian Hall.

“City Lord Eastcalm.” The Sixth Tribulation Eminences chatting in the distance saw Meng Chuan from afar. Their expressions immediately became much more respectful.

Just Meng Chuan’s strength as a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence made these Sixth Tribulation Eminences revere him. When they thought of how short his cultivation period was, who dared to slight him? Even Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star thought highly of him, much less these Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

These Sixth Tribulation Eminences were all hegemons of their own territories. Some special lifeforms produced only one Sixth Tribulation Eminence across the entirety of the River of Spacetime. Most special lifeforms didn’t even have a Sixth Tribulation Eminence!

All Sixth Tribulation Eminences were extraordinary.

They were now full of respect for City Lord Eastcalm. This was because City Lord Eastcalm had the greatest potential in the River of Spacetime. They had to look up to him.

“City Lord Eastcalm.”

“Greetings, City Lord Eastcalm.” The Sixth Tribulation Eminences bowed.

Meng Chuan smiled and nodded without saying anything. With just a few steps, he passed through the many doors and walls and soon arrived at the core region of White Avian Hall’s headquarters. Only the upper echelons could come here.

“Eastcalm is here.” Blazing Sun’s tall figure stood there and waited. When he saw Meng Chuan arrive, his single vertical eye lit up. He then said, “Follow me. Hall Lord has long arrived.”

“Hall Lord Blazing Sun.” Meng Chuan bowed humbly.

“You really shocked everyone this time. You’ve alarmed the entire River of Spacetime.” Blazing Sun walked alongside Meng Chuan and smiled. “All the Seventh Tribulation Eminences are paying attention to you.”

Meng Chuan could also sense the change in Blazing Sun’s attitude. When he recruited him last time, Blazing Sun’s attitude was mostly toward a genius with potential. Now, he treated Meng Chuan as his equal.

The two walked side by side into a small building.

Meng Chuan followed Blazing Sun to the second floor of the building. He immediately saw two figures sitting cross-legged and chatting.

One figure was covered in azure dragon scales. He had a small number of azure dragon scales on his face, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable. Meng Chuan naturally understood that this was Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon, the current leader of the dragons! He controlled an Origins law—the Samsara law. He had many treasures and battled everywhere. He had never suffered a loss. Many of White Avian Hall’s large faction wars were managed by him.

It was magical.

In the River of Spacetime, there were over 50 half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. Those ranked in the top five could suppress Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

Three of the five most dazzling half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences were in White Avian Hall. They were Lord of Shadowfiend—who was publicly acknowledged to be the strongest half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence—the dragons’ leader, Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon, who had many treasures and means, and Apprentice, who was the River of Spacetime’s strongest refiner.

Among the three, Lord of Shadowfiend was Hall Lord White Avian’s lifelong friend. They established White Avian Hall together. Before Hall Lord White Avian reached the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm, Lord of Shadowfiend often took action. Later, as Hall Lord White Avian shook the River of Spacetime with his might, Lord of Shadowfiend seldom appeared.

Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon was now the one presiding over the battles.

Apprentice was a very independent half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence. He focused on refining artifacts and didn’t even pay much attention to his body. The outside world believed that he would’ve long reached the Physical Body Seventh Tribulation realm if he had focused on cultivating his body.

Even so, the array formations and treasures he refined were what White Avian Hall relied on to win large-scale battles.

The treasures he refined were Seventh Tribulation treasures in the hands of others, but they could unleash the might of an Eighth Tribulation treasure in his hands. When he fought, he could control dozens of treasures perfectly. It was as though he was unleashing the combined might of dozens of Eighth Tribulation treasures, making him virtually invincible.

Apart from these three, Sect Master Mental Demon and Mountain Lord Moxie—who were half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences—were also very terrifying. They weren’t inferior to true Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

On the contrary, Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun and Monarch Ape Fiend were considered normal half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. With the help of treasures, Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun could match a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

Monarch Ape Fiend was much inferior. After all, he wasn’t as diligent as Hall Lord Blazing Sun when it came to serving White Avian Hall.

What charm does Hall Lord White Avian have to recruit the few most dazzling half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences? Meng Chuan looked at the figure sitting in the main seat.

His figure was thin, and his eyes were restrained and gentle. He was dressed in a simple robe. He looked ordinary and extremely restrained. There was no sense of pressure or threat.

When Meng Chuan saw him, it was as though he saw silent mountain rocks, flowing streams, and swaying grass…

He was the most ordinary part of the River of Spacetime.

At that moment, Hall Lord White Avian raised his head and smiled at Meng Chuan.

“Greetings, Hall Lord, Deputy Hall Lord.” Meng Chuan bowed slightly.
