Universes Nest
← Ch.711 | Ch.713 → |
Meng Chuan came to a realization. Before he became an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, there were only three Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences in existence. Among them, Realm Ancestor was close to the end of his lifespan. Therefore, they stopped competing.
Only Hall Master Nightmare and Origin Realm Chieftain showed off their prowess.
Origin Realm Chieftain was extremely domineering as he attempted to snatch White Avian Hall and Six Directions Heaven's resources.
Hall Master Nightmare was slightly weaker, but he had many Essence Soul avatars. Furthermore, he wasn't afraid of death. He could attack and occupy resources at will, making him much stronger than a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
When Realm Ancestor grew old and passed away, he would eventually leave many resources vacant. Origin Realm Chieftain's sphere of influence was too great. Each of his nine Essence Soul avatars had their own missions, so it was very difficult for him to arrange for Essence Soul avatars to occupy these vacant resources. Thus, Hall Master Nightmare had set his sights on them. He felt that he could occupy many of the resources once Realm Ancestor died.
If you are powerful, it's fine if you occupy many resources in the River of Spacetime while alive. But if you are dead, what right do you have to determine who occupies these resources? Hall Master Nightmare's thoughts were very normal.
Realm Ancestor's thoughts were very simple. He didn't want others to benefit from the work he put in. He didn't like Black Fiend Hall, so he naturally didn't want Black Fiend Hall to take advantage. If he simply handed it to his good friend, it would be very difficult for a good friend to snatch it with their abilities. However, he was confident that the good friend could protect it.
"Realm Ancestor is very happy that you have reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm, " said Hall Lord White Avian with a smile."I also told him that you still needed to transcend the tribulation. He told me to inform you that you should seek him out after transcending the tribulation."
Meng Chuan nodded."Alright."
He was indebted to Realm Ancestor. It was only right to pay Realm Ancestor a visit.
"There are many treasure lands in the River of Spacetime. Some are naturally formed, while some are formed by Eighth Tribulation Eminences." Hall Lord White Avian asked with a smile, "Have you decided which ones you want?"
Meng Chuan looked at the many glowing treasure lands in the Spacetime Dominion Map in front of him. After some thought, he pointed at a spot in the middle."Here."
"Universe's Nest?" Hall Lord White Avian, Lord of Shadowfiend, Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun, and Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon were somewhat surprised.
Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun said in puzzlement, "Eastcalm, with your Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm strength, you can choose a better place. There's no need to occupy Universe's Nest, right?"
"I plan on occupying the three largest layers of Universe's Nest, " said Meng Chuan.
Hall Lord White Avian and company laughed. Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon said, "There are only nine levels in the Universe's Nest. If you occupy the largest three layers, it's equivalent to occupying more than half of its resources."
"To occupy three layers, you need to arrange for three Essence Soul avatars to be there, " reminded Hall Lord White Avian.
Meng Chuan nodded."Understood."
Universe's Nest was the place that attracted him the most. This was because this place produced the most Universe treasures. Some Universe treasures could only be nurtured once or twice in an era. It was impossible to buy them. Therefore, if he occupied the three largest layers of the Universe's Nest, more than half of the Universe treasures would fall into his hands. He could also choose those that were suitable for his family and Archean Eon Realm.
"From the looks of it, I have to accompany you since you want to occupy the three largest layers, " said Lord of Shadowfiend.
"Thank you, Brother Shadowfiend." Meng Chuan also knew how powerful the other party was. When Lord of Shadowfiend was at the half-step Seventh Tribulation realm, he was publicly recognized as the strongest half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Now that he had reached the Seventh Tribulation realm, he was ranked among the top Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
...
Universe's Nest contained nine layers of spacetime.
The nine spacetime layers were like a beehive. They fused together, but they were all different spacetimes. Therefore, one had to arrange an Essence Soul avatar to occupy each layer.
Whoosh.
A black-robed, white-haired man and a shadow existence traversed spacetime and arrived here.
"Universe's Nest is also one of the top treasure lands in the River of Spacetime. It's divided into nine layers. One Seventh Tribulation Eminence and eight half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences occupy each layer, " said Lord of Shadowfiend indifferently.
"Physical Body Tribulation Eminences only have one outer realm true body. If they choose to let their outer realm true bodies guard this place, they have to give up on other places. Every layer has at least one half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence... This shows how attractive Universe's Nest is."
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
Any Universe treasure could cost tens of thousands of cubes or even hundreds of thousands of cubes. Occupying a layer of Universe's Nest was very profitable over a long period of time. Furthermore, he didn't need to spend any effort to mine it. He just needed to guard it.
"The three largest layers are occupied by a Seventh Tribulation Eminence—Qilin Ancestor—our White Avian Hall's Apprentice, and Six Directions Heaven's Celestial Thearch Chi, " said Lord of Shadowfiend.
Qilin Ancestor was an ancient Seventh Tribulation Eminence from the same generation as Black Fiend Hall Master. He had cultivated for a long time and had a rich heritage. His only outer realm true body didn't participate in many matters. He had guarded the largest layer of Universe's Nest for a long time.
Apprentice was a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence from White Avian Hall. He was known as the strongest artifact refiner in the River of Spacetime. He was ranked in the top five among the fifty-plus half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. His strength suppressed a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, so he was naturally extraordinary.
Celestial Thearch Chi was one of Six Directions Heaven's six Celestial Thearchs. He had a rather powerful background.
The three of them occupied the three largest layers.
A figure tore through the sky from Universe's Nest in front of them. His skin was gray like a puppet. His face was expressionless, and his three eyes were dark and unfathomable. He was the strongest Tribulation Eminence at artifact refining in the present era—Apprentice.
"Shadowfiend, Eastcalm, " said Apprentice calmly.
"Thank you, Brother Apprentice, for passing me a layer of Universe's Nest, " said Meng Chuan gratefully. According to the intelligence given by White Avian Hall, Apprentice had wished to 'hand it over. ' Otherwise, Meng Chuan wouldn't have received it directly.
Apprentice was also very reclusive. He focused on refining artifacts and wasn't in a hurry to cultivate his body. After grasping an Origins law, he even gave himself the title of Apprentice.
The Eminences of this era had all sorts of origins for their names.
For example, Lord of Li Rainbow—who was in charge of Black Fiend Hall—was also known as Black Fiend Hall Master. Hall Lord Snowplume was in charge of Nightmare Hall and was also known as Hall Master Nightmare.
For example, Peach Mountain Owner occupied Peach Mountain after reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm and called himself Peach Mountain Owner.
Eminences had different ideas at different stages. Changing names was common.
For example, Myriad Star, White Avian, and Eastcalm were names that they decided upon when they were weak. They hadn't changed their names after reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm.
"I've been cultivating here for more than 30, 000 years. I'm thinking of changing locations, getting some activity after a prolonged sedentary lifestyle, " said Apprentice indifferently. As a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence, he only had one outer realm true body. He had to give the treasure land up if he wanted to leave."However, Qilin Ancestor occupies the largest layer of Universe's Nest. He won't give in easily."
"Let's take a look first, " said Meng Chuan.
The three of them walked side by side.
Rumble!
Spacetime distorted as they approached the largest layer of spacetime in Universe's Nest.
"What's the matter?" A beast appeared. It had a single horn and looked somewhat ferocious. It was covered in scales, and its blood-colored eyes looked at the three people present. Qilin Ancestor couldn't help but be alarmed. Although Apprentice was ranked in the top five half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences, he had a rich heritage and was confident of suppressing Apprentice. But the other two...
One was City Lord Eastcalm—Meng Chuan—who had made Black Fiend Hall Master suffer. He was also an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. The other was Hall Lord White Avian's sworn brother and a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence—Lord of Shadowfiend. Each of them was stronger than the other!
"Qilin Ancestor, " said Meng Chuan with a smile, "I want the largest layer in Universe's Nest."
Lord Ghostink—who he had some conflicts with—had followed Qilin Ancestor.
Qilin Ancestor rarely participated in disputes, but he had always guarded the largest layer of Universe's Nest.
"You want it?" Qilin Ancestor's eyes were cold."What arrogance. If you have the ability, feel free to attack."
"Qilin Ancestor, I advise you to leave obediently, " said Lord of Shadowfiend indifferently."With the defensive array formation, you can withstand our attacks. However, we are only here to persuade you. If you aren't open to advice, our White Avian Hall can only request Hall Lord to show up personally. If Hall Lord appears, your outer realm true body will probably be lost."
Qilin Ancestor's expression changed when he heard that."There are so many layers in the Universe's Nest, yet you insist on snatching mine? Furthermore, the River of Spacetime has many other treasure lands."
"Hurry up and hand it over, " Lord of Shadowfiend said calmly.
White Avian Hall previously had limited manpower because they didn't have an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence! The other Eminences only had one outer realm true body, so there was naturally no need to compete for excessive resources.
But since Meng Chuan had appeared, they naturally had to occupy more resources.
Many treasure lands in the River of Spacetime were occupied by experts!
Qilin Ancestor looked at the three people in front of him before staring at Meng Chuan. He knew that he would be at a disadvantage if he fought an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Furthermore, Meng Chuan was a terrifyingly young Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
"City Lord Eastcalm, as an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, you can occupy a better place, right?" asked Qilin Ancestor.
"I plan on occupying three layers of Universe's Nest, " said Meng Chuan indifferently.
Qilin Ancestor was slightly stunned. Three layers? Without a doubt, he is referring to the three largest layers. An Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence is indeed different!
"Forget it; I'll give it to City Lord Eastcalm, " said Qilin Ancestor in a low voice. He knew better—knowing when to give up. If he gave up on this place, he could occupy other treasured lands.
City Lord Eastcalm wasn't easy to deal with.
