Archean Eon Art-Novel2

Chapter 322 Compensation (Final Chapter of Volume)

The Treasure Repository occupied quite a large area. There were 12 treasure vaults that stored common treasures. There were also courtyards beside the treasure vaults. Elder Yi usually lived there.

“Junior Brother Meng, you can stay here. I’ll be next door.” Elder Yi pointed at a courtyard. “If there’s anything, feel free to look for me at any time.”

“Thanks.” Meng Chuan smiled and entered the courtyard. There were seven to eight rooms in the courtyard. Meng Chuan walked into the study and sat by the window, basking in the spring sun. He flipped his hand and took out a Black Metal Sutra. Upon sensing the infinite ferocity contained within, he understood that this Black Metal Sutra was the legendary Heavenly Lightning Pike Art. It was famous for its ferocity.

Meng Chuan’s consciousness entered the Black Metal Sutra, and the legacy’s intent guidance began.

A savage-looking man, dressed in beast hide, emitted a barbaric aura. He held a blood-stained, dark-red pike as he stood on the vast land. He calmly began to execute his pike art.

It’s said that a nameless expert created the Heavenly Lightning Pike Art during the ancient tribal era. Back then, even Archean Mountain hadn’t been formed. The senior that created this pike art was known as Supremacy Heavenly Lightning.

Boom!

Pikes and spears were different. A pike’s shaft was harder, and it didn’t change much when used. It was more savage and direct. The savage man struck out with his pike, producing a thunderous roar. Every strike was extremely ferocious, but it formed a continuously-building momentum. This reminded Meng Chuan of the lightning tree formed by the boundless purple lightning in the World Gap. Every movement of the savage’s pike was likely heavenly lightning.

A large number of lightning bolts shot out one after another, forming a lightning tree.

Boom!

Boom!

Towards the end, the pike’s might became even more powerful. He was clearly executing even more profound moves. The strength behind the pike attacks became more and more terrifying. Every time the pike was thrust out, it naturally produced a deep rumble of thunder.

Boom! During the final thrust, endless lightning gathered in the air, causing the void to tremble. The pike gathered thousands of lightning bolts—which smote the ground simultaneously. Following that, it spread out in all directions. The ground exploded, producing a huge crater over 50 kilometers in size. The huge crater connected with the surrounding rivers. As the water flowed in, the water level in the huge crater rose and formed a huge lake that spanned 50 kilometers.

The savage man looked over calmly with his pike in hand. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, and his eyes were filled with anticipation. This level of attack was something he expected from the juniors that obtained his ultimate technique.

Meng Chuan’s consciousness separated from the Black Metal Sutra. He nodded slightly and exclaimed, “What a powerful pike art. The Heavenly Lightning Pike is like a bolt of heavenly lightning. The entire Heavenly Lightning Pike Art has 49 stances. All of them are offensive in nature. I think that the core of the Heavenly Lightning Pike Art is very similar to the Fifteen Lightning Forms’s Perfect Harmonization Form of Destruction.”

He pondered for a moment. The purple lightning in the World Gap was even more ethereal and illusory. The execution of the Heavenly Lightning Pike Art allowed Meng Chuan to have a deeper understanding of Perfect Harmonization Form of Destruction.

Next Black Metal Sutra. Meng Chuan picked up another Black Metal Sutra and sensed its content. It’s the Lightning Snake Phantom Movement Technique.

The Lightning Snake Phantom Movement Technique was rather famous. After all, it was a Black Metal Sutra ultimate technique. However, it was inferior to the World Roving Dragon Saber!

It’s like a phantom and illusion? After accepting the legacy, Meng Chuan came to a realization. It leans towards the Yin-Yang Form of lightning. Yin-Yang changes in unpredictable ways. The World Roving Dragon Saber is more imposing in comparison. It perfectly combines the two different essences in Roving Dragon Form and Nine Heavenly Forms. This is why the World Roving Dragon Saber is superior to the Lightning Snake Phantom Movement Technique. Even though they were both Creation-level techniques, there were still differences in strength.

However, I can also use this movement technique to gain deeper insights into the Yin-Yang Form of Lightning. Meng Chuan was very satisfied. This was an ultimate technique created by a human senior. He could use it to gain insights into the Yin-Yang Form of Lightning much faster.

Meng Chuan read each manual carefully. Many of the six Black Metal Sutras and nearly 1,000 Heaven-level techniques were related to his Fifteen Lightning Forms. Of course, some also had nothing to do with his Fifteen Lightning Forms. Meng Chuan felt that they didn’t suit his temperament, so he naturally abandoned them.

There’s too many. I have to analyze and sort out every ultimate technique carefully. It will take three years to study all the ultimate techniques even if I study one a day. I have to prioritize them. Yes, I’ll think about it after I return.

Meng Chuan spent nine days to accept all intent legacies and memorize all the ultimate techniques. After all, he had a fourth-level Essence Soul. He never forgot what he had experienced

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Meng Chuan walked out of the courtyard and knocked on Elder Yi’s door.

Elder Yi opened the door and looked at Meng Chuan. He greeted Meng Chuan with a smile. “Junior Brother Meng.”

“I’ve finished reading all the manuals. It’s time to return them,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. Reading the manuals cost Meng Chuan more than 120 million credits. Every Archean Mountain Godfiend had one free chance to read one manual.

The Black Metal Sutras and Heaven-level techniques—which didn’t have an intent legacy-were very cheap. However, Heaven-level techniques that had intent legacies were expensive. The more he read, the greater the cost. Meng Chuan spent over 100 million credits to sweep through the lightning lineage techniques.

To Meng Chuan, this small amount of credits wasn’t much! He had plenty of credit! He couldn’t finish spending it even if he wanted to!

“Master, Supremacies.” Meng Chuan came to Grotto-Heaven Pavilion and greeted Li Guan and company.

The three Supremacies sat there drinking tea.

“Meng Chuan, you have contributed greatly during the snatchings of the Spacetime Floating Ice and Origins treasure.” Li Guan held a teacup and smiled at the young Godfiend. It was a blessing for humans to have such a young, strong Godfiend in this critical period.

“When a world is born, there usually wouldn’t be more than ten Origins treasures being born. Every one of them is a priceless treasure,” continued Li Guan. “However, due to what the sect has, the credits handed out are controlled. Your contributions rank second. The three of us have discussed and have decided to give you 500 million credits.” historical

“Okay.” Meng Chuan was very calm.

“Meng Chuan accumulates credits the fastest in Archean Mountain. A year of underground reconnaissance is hundreds of millions of credits. Even for him, 500 million credits is quite a lot,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Do you have anything you want? You have contributed a lot,” asked Li Guan.

“Nothing.” Meng Chuan shook his head. He had long exchanged for the cultivation resources he needed. In fact, the sect hadn’t publicized the existence of a few treasures, so Meng Chuan naturally didn’t know about them. For example, one of the eight cardinal treasures—the Heart Questioning Bead. These treasures were priceless. Archean Mountain needed to employ its limited resources where they were needed most.

“You are still weak,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Once you become a Regis Godfiend, there will be some treasures you can use. When the time comes, I’ll give you a new book that lists the available items.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

King Calm Sea’s famous defensive treasure, Scarlet Cloud Heaven, required a Regis Godfiend’s Seamless Quintessential Essence to be activated. Darkstar Quintessential Essence was too weak to activate the treasure.

“King True Martial gave some of his spoils of war-which he obtained during your trip to the World Gap-to the sect,” said Qin Wu. “One of them should be of great use to your wife, Liu Qiyue.” Qin Wu handed a book covered in a snow-white beast hide to Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan received the book. He flipped through the book, and every page was filled with paintings. Only when he flipped to the end did he see the detailed description of the ultimate technique.

“Phoenix Flight?” Meng Chuan looked at the name of the ultimate technique. It had been 800 years since the war against the demons began. Human Godfiends had naturally learned the language of the demons. Meng Chuan—who had condensed an Essence Soul —had mastered it after reading it once.

“That’s right. Phoenix Flight,” said Qin Wu. “Amongst the demons’ ultimate movement techniques, it can be ranked in the top five. It doesn’t have an intent legacy, but the book’s paintings are imprinted through ‘rubbing.’ They aren’t inferior to an intent legacy. This is because this comes from the Phoenix Monument Stone. The Phoenix Monument Stone is one of the demons’ core treasures. They are paintings of a true Phoenix’s flight on it. There are a total of 35 paintings. Ordinary materials that come close to the Phoenix Monument Stone will be reduced to dust. Therefore, it’s quite expensive to create a copy of the paintings.”

“According to our intelligence, the avian demon monarchs that cultivate Phoenix Flight can transform into phoenixes naturally,” said Li Guan. “Your wife, Liu Qiyue, has the phoenix bloodline. I believe she’s more suitable for cultivating Phoenix Flight than many demons.”

“An avian demon will transform into a phoenix after cultivating this?” Meng Chuan was somewhat shocked as he said immediately, “It’s best if such an important manual is left at Archean Mountain. I’ll just get Qiyue to come over and learn it.” “One requires to keep such a rubbing by their side. They have to peruse the paintings frequently to speed up their cultivation of the technique,” explained the illusory Qin Wu. “We have already recorded the contents of the manual. There is only one rubbing, so let Liu Qiyue use it first. When she is nearing the end of her lifespan, she can return it to the sect. By the way, we will deduct 50 million credits from you since you’re taking away the Phoenix Flight manual.”

“Alright,” replied Meng Chuan immediately. Fifty million credits were nothing to him.

“Liu Qiyue is now stationed in Changfeng City,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “You should go over as well. Guarding a city is a long-term mission. You can’t always be separated from your wife.”

“Okay.” Meng Chuan revealed a look of delight before saying in surprise, “Qiyue went to Changfeng City?”

“We will occasionally swap our defenses around so that the demons’ investigations aren’t of much use,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Alright, you may head back if there’s nothing else.” “Yes, I’ll take my leave.” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully and left happily.

The three Supremacies had complicated looks as they watched Meng Chuan leave.

“From the results of their cultivation in the World Gap, Yan Chitong’s cultivation speed is faster than Meng Chuan’s,” said the illusory Luo Tang. “Xue Feng has also reached the Dharma Domain realm. On average, peerless geniuses take 30 years to reach the Dharma Domain realm from the peak of the Realm of Dao. Meng Chuan may need a lot more time.”

“His cultivation speed is relatively slow, but there’s no substitute for him!” said Li Guan. “Meng Chuan needs to become a Regis Godfiend. He also needs to reach the Blood Droplet realm. When that happens, he will be the greatest weapon against the million demon monarchs in our world. Let’s wait patiently. If his technique realm is still increasing slowly by the time he attains a fifth-level Essence Soul, we’ll use the Heart Questioning Bead on him.”

“He conducts a 12-hour long underground reconnaissance every day,” said Qin Wu. “That exhausts him on a daily basis. Just recovering his mental strength takes time, leaving him even less time to cultivate. If it were an ordinary Godfiend, they could cultivate almost the entire day while guarding a city. His cultivation speed will definitely be much faster than it is now if that was his job.”“Wiping out the underground demon monarchs is very important to the entire human race,” said Li Guan. “We can only trouble him.”

“This will go on for years… If the war doesn’t stop, Meng Chuan will need to keep carrying out underground reconnaissance.” Qin Wu sighed. “Compared to most Godfiends, it’s much harder for him. Furthermore, it’s destined to be tough for many years.”

“We have given him credits. If he can’t use it, he can give it to his wife and children,” said Li Guan. “Wasn’t the last phoenix feather and the Phoenix Flight manual given to Meng Chuan’s wife?”

Luo Tang sighed. “We are trying our best to make up for him. Now, we hope that Meng Chuan can become a Regis Godfiend soon.”

Qin Wu hesitated for a moment before saying seriously, “In my opinion, it’s better to use it earlier than later. Let Meng Chuan use it earlier. The sooner he becomes a Regis Godfiend, the more demon monarchs he can kill.”

The Heart Questioning Bead could help Meng Chuan’s cultivation advance significantly.

“We’ll decide depending on the war’s situation,” said Li Guan.
