It's done. Meng Chuan was delighted and somewhat wistful.
After reaching a bottleneck, many cultivators would be stuck at the bottleneck for a long time. It was normal for them to be stuck at a bottleneck for tens of thousands of years, unable to break through even when at the end of their lifespans.
After reaching a bottleneck, Meng Chuan had cultivated for more than 1, 000 years! He had opportunities like Clear Spring Island's cave abode, the Great Seal, and White Avian Hall's manuals. Even with his perception, it took him a long time to break through. This was a testament to how difficult it was to break through a bottleneck.
Many cultivators are stuck at a bottleneck for too long, causing their mental state to be unbalanced. They begin to feel anxious and think of all sorts of solutions. The more anxious they are, the harder it is to break through.
This couldn't be blamed on Sixth Tribulation Eminences. To grasp three Sixth Tribulation laws and accumulate insights to the limit, one might have already cultivated for 50, 000 to 60, 000 years. As for Sixth Tribulation Eminences, their lifespans were typically close to 100, 000 years.
How could one not be anxious when they were stuck at a bottleneck for so long and was approaching the end of their lifespans?
Therefore, young people like Meng Chuan had a better mentality and patience.
Being young was an advantage.
Meng Chuan looked back at his cultivation path.
He had cultivated in Archean Eon Realm, a middle-level world, ever since he was young. All the way until he grasped an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, he constantly faced the demon threat. Only after he grasped an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique did he end the demon threat.
As a genius who had created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, he successfully reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.
I've cultivated for 7, 000 years and have grasped the Chaos Hole law. Meng Chuan sighed.
In the current era, only Hall Lord White Avian was slightly better. Hall Lord White Avian had cultivated for 6, 000 years before becoming a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was also very amazing. He cultivated for 11, 000 years before becoming a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
As for himself? Meng Chuan still needed to transcend the tribulation before he could be considered a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
I'm considered comparable to Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. Meng Chuan smiled. His cultivation speed had completely exceeded Ancestral Master Archean Eon's.
The first obstacle in front of me now is transcending the tribulation. Meng Chuan also felt a sense of urgency. His willpower was enough to bear Origins laws. Therefore, the seventh Essence Soul Tribulation would probably descend in about 100 years.
Chaos Hole law. Meng Chuan began to sense the Chaos Hole law carefully.
As an Origins law, it was too vast. Meng Chuan had studied 39 Chaos Hole legacies in White Avian Hall, so he was very familiar with the Chaos Hole law from different angles.
His previous familiarity was a blurry veil. Now, he could see everything clearly.
My Essence Soul World is beginning to evolve. Meng Chuan could sense his Essence Soul World transforming into a world with the Chaos Hole law as its core.
A natural evolution was the simplest form of evolution.
In the middle of the illusory Essence Soul World was a Dark Chaos Hole. It had a complete Chaos Hole law and mighty Power of Essence Soul... This gradually caused the Dark Chaos Hole in the Essence Soul World to become corporeal.
In about an hour, it produced a foot-wide Dark Chaos Hole core. This foot-wide Chaos Hole core was real, just like the true Chaos Hole cores in the outside world, but it was much smaller. After all, it was formed from Meng Chuan's strength.
His Essence Soul World had transformed, and his Power of Essence Soul had reached a new level.
With such Power of Essence Soul, Heaven Splitting Blade's might would be even more terrifying.
Is this the strength of an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence? Guild Master Darkstar should also have this level of strength, right? Meng Chuan sensed the vast power contained within the Chaos Hole in his Essence Soul World. With his current strength, Meng Chuan could easily trample on himself back when he was a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence!
Though he had grasped the spatial law then, he only had slightly stronger life-preservation means. He could withstand a few blows from a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, giving him time to destroy his avatars and prevent himself from being captured alive.
Previously, I was lucky to have Guild Master Fiend Eye take action; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to resist the attack head-on. I would've needed to rely on the Spacetime Token to escape. After becoming a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan had a deeper understanding of the disparity in strength.
In fact, Meng Chuan also knew that his strength had already surpassed that of most half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
Whoosh.
A thin, gray-robed man appeared beside a bookshelf out of thin air. His aura was converged and ordinary as he smiled at Meng Chuan."Eastcalm, congratulations."
Hall Lord White Avian naturally sensed it when Meng Chuan broke through. He knew very well that Meng Chuan was now equivalent to a true Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
A half-step Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence was one who grasped a Seventh Tribulation law but had yet to break through with their bodies.
A half-step Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence grasped a Seventh Tribulation law, but their willpower was somewhat weak. Their Essence Soul World couldn't withstand the evolution of the Chaos Hole law.
Meng Chuan's Essence Soul World had already transformed, and his Power of Essence Soul had also reached the Seventh Tribulation realm. Apart from not transcending the tribulation, he was no different from an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
"It's all thanks to the library's books, " said Meng Chuan with a smile."If I hadn't read so many of the seniors' ultimate techniques and manuals, I probably would've taken longer to break through."
"The foundation of cultivation ultimately depends on oneself, " said Hall Lord White Avian with a smile."For example, in high-level worlds, or for species like the dragons and phoenixes, the factions with a rich heritage have plenty of manuals and opportunities. However, they haven't produced a Seventh Tribulation Eminence in many eras. From this, it can be seen that the birth of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence... has very high requirements on oneself."
Meng Chuan agreed. Even in Archean Eon Realm, there were differences in one's achievements despite having the same resources.
His son—Meng An—and his grandson, Meng Yu, had fortuitous treasures that surpassed what Meng Chuan had when he was at the same stage as them. However, their accomplishments were far inferior.
In the entire River of Spacetime, the dragons and some high-level worlds had a terrifying amount of resources. It was very common for them to have Eternal treasures. But how many could reach the Seventh Tribulation realm?
"Seven thousand years." Hall Lord White Avian looked at Meng Chuan, his heart filled with anticipation.
Meng Chuan took 7, 000 years to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. In 30, 000 years, he will reach the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm. Before his death, he can reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, thought Hall Lord White Avian. I also need to control the flow of time now.
As long as one lived in a place where time flowed slowly, Hall Lord White Avian would've only spent 20, 000 years, while Meng Chuan spent 200, 000 years! He could naturally wait until Meng Chuan reached the Eighth Tribulation realm.
But the higher one's level of existence was, the higher the price to alter the time flow in the region they were in. As a Seventh Tribulation lifeform, Hall Lord White Avian placed a huge burden on the time flow in where he was—even if it was a Chaos Hole. The changed time flow could barely be maintained for a moment.
If he expended too much Chaos Hole energy, it would collapse on its own.
Only mystic realms created by Eighth Tribulation Eminences could maintain temporal acceleration for a long time.
A mystic realm could absorb external powers and accelerate time for prolonged periods. However, maintaining a ten-fold speedup or slowdown for a Seventh Tribulation Eminence was almost the limit.
...
Hall Lord White Avian and Meng Chuan arrived at a chamber in the library. They sat opposite each other and chatted while drinking.
"Eastcalm, your Essence Soul has also broken through during your breakthrough. You are already in the state of the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm, " said Hall Lord White Avian."Hence, your seventh Essence Soul Heavenly Tribulation will come soon."
"In about 100 years." Meng Chuan understood this point.
"You have to prepare for the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation, " said Hall Lord White Avian.
One was either a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence or a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
Meng Chuan could only maintain his present state for a short period of time before he faced the Heavenly Tribulation!
"Although your willpower isn't bad, the Essence Soul Tribulation targets the mind, " reminded Hall Lord White Avian."Don't be careless."
Meng Chuan nodded.
"In the Essence Soul cultivation system, one needs to create an Essence Soul formulation in the future, " said Hall Lord White Avian."Now that you have grasped an Origins law, you can begin attempting to create one."
"See through the Essence Soul and create an Essence Soul formulation that is most suitable for me. It can strengthen my Essence Soul and willpower." Meng Chuan smiled and nodded. He naturally understood this point. After grasping an Origins law, he pursued wisdom that could see through everything.
Externally, it was to comprehend all matter—everything.
Internally, he studied his body and Essence Soul.
Meng Chuan had even figured out an Essence Soul formulation at the Sixth Tribulation realm.
"White Avian Hall has quite a number of Essence Soul formulations, " said Hall Lord White Avian."Most of them are Seventh Tribulation-level Essence Soul formulations, but they aren't perfected. There are also five Eighth Tribulation-level Essence Soul formulations. Some are from our universe, while others are from beyond the universe. Two of them have karmic implications. It's your choice."
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
Some Essence Soul formulations were directly sold without any karmic implications. Eternal Road was one such example.
For example, Meng Chuan had received a karmic burden from Senior Fei Yu when he cultivated the Essence Soul Star. If he reached the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm, he would have to repay the karma.
Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences were too rare. Only a handful of them had been born in the River of Spacetime's history. Therefore, they were much more precious than Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminences.
Essence Soul Star and Eternal Road—which Meng Chuan had obtained—were actually legacies from outside the universe.
