Chapter 628 Fis.h.i.+ng

A figure appeared in the dark outer realm. He was dressed in a dark purple robe as he looked coldly at Thousand Mountain Star.

“Thousand Mountain Star,” muttered Lord Ghostink.

He yearned to enter the legendary Fiend Mountain even in his dreams. Therefore, he immediately rushed to Thousand Mountain Star when he heard the news.

Is it really as the rumors say? Eastcalm entered the Fiend Mountain despite being a Sixth Tribulation Eminence? Lord Ghostink couldn’t help but feel tempted. If he can enter, I should be able to enter as well!

After cultivating to his current realm, he felt like the gap between the Sixth and Seventh Tribulation realm was like a chasm! The further he cultivated, the greater the difference in strength. However, the difficulty of breaking through also increased.

There were only a few Sixth Tribulation Eminences in a vast river zone. However, Seventh Tribulation Eminences were legends!

Lord Ghostink had his own goals. He also wanted to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.

Whoosh.

Lord Ghostink flew towards Thousand Mountain Star but suddenly stopped.

Lightning gathered in the surrounding void and condensed into a white-haired, white-robed man. He smiled at Lord Ghostink and said, “Ah, Lord Ghostink. My Three Bay River System is a remote river system. Why are you here, Lord Ghostink?”

Meng Chuan’s lightning law domain was sufficiently vast. He could sense any other living beings that invaded his range of influence.

It was fine if it were ordinary cultivators in the past, but Lord Ghostink was a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Meng Chuan was naturally alarmed by his visit. He immediately sent an Essence Soul embodiment.

“City Lord Eastcalm.” Lord Ghostink looked at Meng Chuan. His cold eyes lit up as he revealed a look of delight. “You really have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.”

Meng Chuan looked at him.

Lord Ghostink didn’t have a good reputation. He was ruthless and unscrupulous. He had the worst reputation among the Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the Cang Alliance. Meng Chuan naturally had his guard up.

“City Lord Eastcalm, you have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm. How did you enter the black mountain ruin again?” asked Lord Ghostink.

Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”

He really is here because of Fiend Mountain.

“How did you enter? I asked Fu Sui, but he said it had nothing to do with him. He said that you entered the black mountain ruin through your own means.” Lord Ghostink’s voice had a hint of anxiousness.

“I can enter, but I can’t help others,” said Meng Chuan directly, having guessed the other party’s intentions.

Lord Ghostink frowned and asked, “City Lord Eastcalm, I just want to ask you. How did you enter? Do you have a mystic technique, a token, or something else?”

“Why should I tell you such a secret?” Meng Chuan looked at him.

Information was valuable. Meng Chuan hadn’t even discovered the existence of Fiend Mountain from Eternal Tower’s intelligence.

The intelligence of how to become an ordinary member of Fiend Mountain was even more precious. How could he easily leak it? Lord Ghostink persuaded, “Tell me, and I will owe you a favor. We are both members of the Cang Alliance. Can’t you help me on this?” “I can’t,” said Meng Chuan indifferently.

Lord Ghostink looked at Meng Chuan and nodded. “It wasn’t right of me. Let’s negotiate like it’s a transaction. How about 30,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals if you tell me how you entered the black mountain ruin?”

“No deal,” rejected Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan had yet to figure out Fiend Mountain’s origins.

The crazy forbidden creatures, the various aftereffects of stepping onto Fiend Mountain, and the mysterious voice that came from the mountaintop… Even the name of the placeFiend Mountain-made Meng Chuan very cautious. Logically speaking, such a place shouldn’t be unknown! However, even if he couldn’t find any information on it, Meng Chuan naturally didn’t want to spread further information about it.

“Even a transaction won’t do?” Lord Ghostink’s eyes were cold.

Meng Chuan looked at him and said, “If you really want to buy the information, I’ll naturally be the one offering a price. 200,000 cubes, and I’ll tell you the details.”

“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!” Lord Ghostink laughed angrily.

200,000 cubes?

After cultivating for so many years, he had only acc.u.mulated over 500,000 cubes. Many of them were treasures that were useful to him. Was he crazy to exchange nearly half of that for a piece of information?

“You should have just reached the Sixth Tribulation realm, so you aren’t aware.” Lord Ghostink looked at him. “I’m currently following a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, Qilin Ancestor. I’ll give you another chance. Thirty thousand cubes to purchase your information.”

“Lord Ghostink, forgive me for not entertaining you. Also, I do not allow any Sixth Tribulation Eminences to come within 15 million kilometers of my Thousand Mountain Star array formation without my permission.” With that said, Meng Chuan’s figure dissipated. He couldn’t be bothered with him.

Lord Ghostink had even threatened him.

Meng Chuan came from Archean Eon Realm. Ancestral Master Archean Eon had recorded some of the unspoken rules regarding the top factions in the River of s.p.a.cetime. Meng Chuan knew them pretty well.

It was true that many Sixth Tribulation Eminences had Seventh Tribulation backing them. Although there were relatively more Sixth Tribulation Eminences than Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of s.p.a.cetime, there were very few of the latter. There were only 20 to 30 of them! Therefore, every Seventh Tribulation Eminence was considered a faction.

Most Sixth Tribulation Eminences relied on a faction. With a Seventh Tribulation Eminence backing them, it was as though an entire faction was taking care of them. Thus, they could do things in a much smoother way. They could also obtain various benefits for their cultivation.

To a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, a Sixth Tribulation Eminence subordinate was a very important helper.

From Lord Ghostink’s point of view, City Lord Eastcalm-a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence—shouldn’t have fully followed a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Without a powerful backer, he shouldn’t be confident enough, so it was easy to scare him into submission.

According to Ancestral Master Archean Eon, although Eternal Tower is a loose and free organization, there are still very few Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Eternal Tower still cares about the safety of every Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Meng Chuan understood this point.

Once he transcended the tribulation, he would naturally report it to Eternal Tower. His status in Eternal Tower would rise, and he would become part of Eternal Tower’s backbone. Eternal Tower had to confirm that he had successfully transcended the tribulation before promoting him.

He’s gone? Lord Ghostink was alarmed. City Lord Eastcalm has just vanished and left me here? He was a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Good, very good. Lord Ghostink stared at Thousand Mountain Star in the distance.

No matter how rash he was, he wouldn’t charge into the enemy’s lair to attack him. The enemy’s lair had an array formation augmenting him. He would be sending himself to his death if he acted rashly.

I’ll remember you for this. Lord Ghostink was furious, but there was nothing he could do. With a wave of his sleeve, he immediately stepped into the River of s.p.a.cetime and left Three Bay River System.

Knowing Lord Ghostink’s style, one had to fall out with him immediately. If one spoke nicely to him, only more trouble would ensue.

In front of a lake in a bamboo forest.

A white-haired elder sat there fis.h.i.+ng.

The lake beneath the hook vaguely revealed different s.p.a.cetime. Images of cultivators appeared in the lake, but none of them were worth fis.h.i.+ng

Whoosh.

A cyan-clothed woman flew over from afar. After landing, she walked over and stopped dozens of feet away. She greeted respectfully, “Realm Ancestor.”

Realm Ancestors were terrifying existences that were famous across the River of s.p.a.cetime.

“Ah, Yu Xi.” The white-haired elder smiled at the cyan-clothed woman.

The cyan-clothed woman sighed.

Realm Ancestor treated her like a father and master. In her eyes, he was the greatest existence. However, he was close to the end of his lifespan.

There were only three Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of s.p.a.cetime. Realm Ancestor was one of them, but even he couldn’t withstand the ravages of time. He could only accept the fact that his lifespan was coming to an end.

“Realm Ancestor, everything you instructed me to do has been done,” said the cyan-clothed woman respectfully. “However, Third Young Master still refuses to listen to advice. Therefore, I can only forcefully capture him back.”

“I’ve protected him for tens of thousands of years, but I can’t protect him forever.” The white-haired elder nodded. “Once I die, all sorts of backlashes will happen.”

“Realm Ancestor, you will definitely break through to the Eighth Tribulation realm,” said the cyan-clothed woman immediately.

“Eighth Tribulation realm?” The white-haired elder smiled as he looked at the cyan-clothed woman. The ma.s.ses had rumors that Realm Ancestor was close to the Eighth Tribulation realm, but he knew that he was still far from it! He casually waved his hand. “Alright, you may take your leave.”

“Yes.” The cyan-clothed woman obediently retreated.

The white-haired elder sat there, still leisurely fis.h.i.+ng. Countless s.p.a.cetime figures were in the lake.

“According to the latest intelligence from the Cang Alliance, a Sixth Tribulation Eminence has entered Fiend Mountain?” The white-haired elder was somewhat surprised. He had entered the Cang Alliance when he was young and was the only Seventh Tribulation Eminence in the Cang Alliance now.

The Cang Alliance was an extremely loose organization. However, it had a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Therefore, it was rather famous in the River of s.p.a.cetime.

Realm Ancestor was very powerful. He had control over a portion of the Cang Alliance s.p.a.ce. The Cang Alliance s.p.a.ce would take the initiative to record everything that happened in the Cang Alliance s.p.a.ce and pa.s.s it on to Realm Ancestor.

City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, has become a member of Fiend Mountain? The white-haired elder guessed. The fis.h.i.+ng rod in his hand connected to an area of s.p.a.cetime.

In the lake, Thousand Mountain Star’s Meng Chuan, Archean Eon Realm’s Meng Chuan, and Fiend Mountain’s Meng Chuan appeared.

He’s also a member of the Cang Alliance like me. The white-haired elder gently lifted the fis.h.i.+ng pole.

Whoosh.

A white-haired, white-robed man flew out of the lake and landed on the ground.

Meng Chuan looked around in a daze and saw a white-haired elder holding a fis.h.i.+ng pole. The white-haired elder looked ordinary, like a mortal elder, as he smiled at him.
