Chapter 567: Void Catalog

How can a Fifth Tribulation Eminence be so young? Meng Chuan was slightly stunned before looking at the ancient mirror curiously.

This mirror could accurately determine his age.

This type of treasure could only be refined by experts with extremely high attainments in the time lineage. The mirror could probe the time he had experienced simply by reflecting his appearance. The mirror showed that Meng Chuan had experienced 1,587 years since he was born.

“How did you reach the Fifth Tribulation realm in just 1,000-plus years?” asked the snake-tailed man. “Furthermore, you cultivate both your body and Essence Soul. You have even grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. How did you cultivate so quickly?”

At that moment, the Guardian had many guesses.

Reincarnator? Universe Wonder? A monstrous genius that has created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, or is he related to an... Eternal existence?

Being any one of these would make Meng Chuan a legend in the River of Spacetime!

Even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence can’t see through my age at a glance. It’s also impossible for them to use a treasure mirror to pry into other people’s ages randomly. Meng Chuan looked at the mirror. However, the owner of the cave abode has specially left behind a mirror here.

Meng Chuan knew that his cultivation time was very short.

Under normal circumstances, those who became Imperial Lords after cultivating for 300 years and newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences after cultivating for 2,000 years would reach the Fifth Tribulation realm after cultivating for more than 10,000 years. This was considered a relatively fast cultivation speed among Fifth Tribulation Eminences. If one spent 30,000 years to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm, it would be considered extremely slow. This was because Fourth Tribulation Eminences typically had 30,000-year lifespans.

As for Meng Chuan?

He had reached the Fifth Tribulation realm in just a tenth of the average time. Furthermore, he cultivated both his Essence Soul and his physical body. He had also grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws! This was simply too heaven-defying.

In fact, Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had reached the Heaven Earth realm over 100 years ago. If he had used the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique as his core, he would have long become an Imperial Lord. However, he delayed his breakthrough to the Imperial Lord realm because he placed most of his attention on his paramount technique.

“My perceptivity is a little higher,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He didn’t say anything else.

“No matter what the reason is,” the snake-tailed man looked at Meng Chuan and said, “the treasure bestowed by Master will be upgraded to second-class since you have reached such a level in 1,000-plus years.:

“Second-class?” Meng Chuan knew very well that no benefits came without reason. He asked, “I should have to pay a certain price for the so-called second-class treasure, right?”

The cave abode’s owner had set up this cave abode for a reason. It was relatively unlikely that Meng Chuan would be given benefits for nothing.

“My master’s name is Cang Xing,” said the snake-tailed man. “His homeworld was a low-level world. Back when Master roamed the outer realm and was at the Fourth Tribulation realm, a forbidden creature appeared in our homeworld. It devoured Master’s homeworld. All living beings in the world were wiped out. None survived.

“After many years of cultivation, Master reached the Seventh Tribulation realm. Before his end, he set up many cave abodes and placed all the treasures he had accumulated during his life in the many cave abodes. He left them for future generations. He only has one request... to kill forbidden creatures.

“Your talent is outstanding. According to Master’s rules, you have the right to obtain a second-class treasure. The condition is that you have to kill three Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures when you are at the Sixth Tribulation realm. When you are at the Seventh Tribulation realm, you have to kill one Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature.” The man with the snake tail said, “As long as you agree, you can choose any second-class treasure.”

Meng Chuan frowned slightly.

Killing three Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures when he was at the Sixth Tribulation realm? He would be violating his promise if he didn’t kill the quota and attempted to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm! The karma affecting him would immediately increase; it would even affect his tribulation.

Although forbidden creatures were the common enemies of all life, there were extremely few of them! Many Tribulation Eminences had never seen forbidden creatures before. There were even fewer who deliberately pursued them.

For example, if a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature appeared in other river zones, why would Tribulation Eminences in Goddess River Zone care? They were too far away! The river zone’s respective Eminences could deal with them.

“I have to kill them at the Sixth Tribulation realm. Likewise for the Seventh Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan softly. “There are restrictions on both realms.”

“Of course, the second condition only concerns you if you reach the Seventh Tribulation realm in the future,” said the man with the snake tail with a smile. “Even if you don’t kill a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature, you will only break your promise when you die of age. By then, karma will no longer affect you.”

Meng Chuan smiled.

Talking about killing a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature when one was at the Seventh Tribulation realm was targeted at those who had a chance of breaking through to the Eighth Tribulation realm. Since they were about to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, they had to kill a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature before they transcended the tribulation so they could end the karma.

“Although there are very few Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures, they can still be found,” said Meng Chuan. “However, Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures are virtually legends.”

Meng Chuan was confident in himself, so he naturally didn’t want to be easily bound by duty.

“Master’s first-class treasures can be counted on one hand. They are targeted at Seventh Tribulation Eminences and some Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

“The second-class treasures are already extremely precious,” said the snake-tailed man. “You can hear what I have to say before deciding if you agree to it. Even if you refuse, you can obtain an ordinary treasure like the other three Fifth Tribulation Eminences and leave the cave abode.”

“Oh?” Meng Chuan asked, “What treasures can you give me?”

“What do you want the most?” asked the snake-tailed man.

“A treasure that’s useful for cultivating the void lineage,” said Meng Chuan. “Tell me what you can provide.”

Meng Chuan also had Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures as his resources. If the treasures weren’t attractive enough, he wouldn’t easily accept a set of binding karma.

“Something that’s useful for cultivating the void lineage?” The snake-tailed man pondered for a moment and said, “The most precious void manual in the River of Spacetime is called the Void Catalog. There are three volumes of the Void Catalog. Master can give you a basic-level Eternal Token. With this, you can go to any Eternal Tower headquarters in a river zone and choose one volume to read.”

Void Catalog? Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.

Cultivation manuals were used to teach future generations.

For example, Meng Chuan had learned Lightning Realm. It was a manual left behind by a Sixth Tribulation Eminence after comprehending a complete spatial law. However, it was extremely difficult to comprehend it with just the manual.

Many manuals were the same.

The creators comprehended something and wrote the manuals. However, people of the future couldn’t understand it. It was like reading a heavenly book! Therefore, manuals that were suitable for one were very important. The Selfless Formless Sword painting catalog, which Meng Chuan encountered, was very compatible with him. The effects it had on his cultivation were very good.

As for the Void Catalog, it was an ultimate technique that was compatible with all Tribulation Eminences!

Legend had it that an Eternal existence wrote it.

Of course, this was only a legend. It was a mystery as to who created the Void Catalog! However, its interpretation of the void made even historical Eighth Tribulation Eminences sigh in amazement when they read it. They believed that it was the best manual in the void lineage.

“The Void Catalog is split into three volumes. If you want to read each volume, even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence from Eternal Tower will have to pay 300,000 cubes. Outsiders have no right to read them unless they have a special reason.” The snake-tailed man looked at Meng Chuan. “As long as you agree to Master’s request, I’ll give you the basic-level Eternal Token.”

“What if Eternal Tower doesn’t want to exchange for it when I head over with a basic-level Eternal Token?” asked Meng Chuan.

According to what he knew, the Void Catalog’s three volumes naturally turned to dust after reading each volume. historical

One had to be an expert who had once read the Void Catalog and comprehended a complete spatial Great Dao before they could write down the Void Catalog’s contents on a piece of precious material. According to legends, there were still some Void Catalogs at Eternal Tower. Even if they were reduced to ashes, they would be replenished with time.

However...

Will a basic-level Eternal Token be devalued? After all, Senior Cang Xing died a long time ago. Is it possible that the Void Catalogs in Eternal Tower are too rare in this era? If one wants to read it, would the price one has to pay greatly increase?Is it possible that a basic-level Eternal Token isn’t sufficient for the exchange?

“If you can’t exchange for a copy of the Void Catalog in Eternal Tower, your promise naturally won’t count,” said the snake-tailed man with a smile. “In that instance, the basic-level Eternal Token will be a gift for you.”

He was clearly prepared for such a situation.

After all, Senior Cang Xing knew that everything and anything could happen in the face of time. For example, Eternal Tower could be destroyed a long time later. That would naturally make basic-level Eternal Tokens useless.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly as he pondered.

The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had become increasingly difficult to cultivate to this day. Lightning Realm was difficult to understand, and his improvement was minimal.

“Alright, I agree,” said Meng Chuan calmly as he looked at the snake-tailed man.

The path of cultivation was destined to be filled with many obstacles. In the future, Meng Chuan felt that it was worth it to kill forbidden creatures in exchange for a copy of the Void Catalog!
