Chapter 487: The Dawn of the Rise of the Human World

Inside the Yuan Chu Mountain Heaven Pavilion.

"Meng Chuan is here." Li Guan stood in the courtyard, with the illusory figures of Qin Wu and Luo Tang appearing beside him.

"For the past half-month, he hasn't reunited with his children. Instead, he has visited all the places he and Liu Qiyue once lived in," Luo Tang's illusory figure said with surprise. "Now he's suddenly come to find us. Has he made some kind of decision?"

Qin Wu's illusory figure also frowned slightly, showing some concern.

Worry was making them anxious.

Qin Wu cared deeply about this talented disciple, who had been dedicated to slaying demons for many years, fearing that a significant change in his temperament might completely derail his cultivation path.

"He's here," Li Guan, Qin Wu's illusory figure, and Luo Tang's illusory figure all looked over. Meng Chuan had already entered the courtyard.

"Greetings, Venerable One, Master," Meng Chuan said humbly.

"He looks well and calm," Luo Tang's illusory figure transmitted telepathically.

"He seems quite normal."

Li Guan and Qin Wu's illusory figure also felt a sense of relief.

"Meng Chuan, why have you come to see us?" Li Guan asked with a slight smile.

"My Primeval Spirit has just broken through to the seventh level," Meng Chuan stated directly.

"Seventh level Primeval Spirit?"

Li Guan, Qin Wu's illusory figure, and Luo Tang's illusory figure were all stunned.

While Meng Chuan's Primeval Spirit had advanced quite quickly through the first six levels, the difficulty of advancement increased sharply with each subsequent level. It had only been just over twenty years since he reached the sixth level... and now he was at the seventh level?

"Meng Chuan, have you truly broken through?" Qin Wu's illusory figure couldn't help but ask.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. At the same time, several darker Primeval Spirit avatars flew out from his body and landed beside him. A total of nine Primeval Spirit avatars, all appearing as Meng Chuan, stood in the courtyard.

Li Guan, Qin Wu's illusory figure, and Luo Tang's illusory figure watched, their eyes shining with awe.

"Meng Chuan, do you know who was the fastest in human history to reach the seventh level of the Primeval Spirit before you?" Luo Tang's illusory figure asked.

"Yes, the Island Lord of Myriad Swords," Meng Chuan replied with a smile. "He broke through to the seventh level of the Primeval Spirit at one hundred and fifty-three years old. However, he never managed to break through to the eighth level in his lifetime."

Li Guan said, "The further one progresses, the harder it becomes to break through with the Primeval Spirit. Senior Island Lord of Myriad Swords reached the sixth level of the Primeval Spirit at ninety-six years old and the seventh level at one hundred and fifty-three. You, on the other hand, are only ninety-nine this year, correct? And you've already reached the seventh level of the Primeval Spirit, more than fifty years earlier than Senior Island Lord of Myriad Swords."

Meng Chuan understood.

His breakthrough was also due to various factors, with the creation of his own ultimate unique skill being the key. Without the immense benefit that his self-created ultimate unique skill provided to his Primeval Spirit, he feared it would have taken him many more years.

"This is excellent!" Luo Tang's illusory figure exclaimed excitedly. "The pressure of defending the super-large city passes is growing, but Meng Chuan now has nine Primeval Spirit avatars. Each of his Primeval Spirit avatars can carry True Essence and wield his Cloud-Mist Dragon-Snake Saber Art, which is enough to guard a super-large city pass. Even if a Primeval Spirit avatar's True Essence is exhausted, another avatar can immediately be dispatched to relieve it."

"Indeed," Li Guan and Qin Wu's illusory figure both nodded slightly.

"Meng Chuan, if you become a Creation-level Venerable, your True Essence will transform, allowing you to activate the formation arrays of the super-large city passes," Li Guan said. "With the help of these arrays, defending will become much easier."

Every super-large city pass has its own formation array.

These fixed arrays can unleash immense power, but they require Creation-level True Essence to activate! If activated by a Regressor Godfiend's True Essence, the array's power would be significantly weaker.

"I plan to break through to become a Creation-level Venerable in the near future," Meng Chuan stated.

"You plan to break through already?" Qin Wu's illusory figure asked, surprised, then nodded. "That's right, ultimate unique skills are incredibly difficult to create. Even across the countless worlds in the vast outer realm, it's extremely rare for anyone to create one. In human history, there hasn't been a single instance! Your Cloud-Mist Dragon-Snake Movement Art is already an extraordinary unique skill. Now that you've reached the late stage of the Heaven-Cave realm, your potential with the Cloud-Mist Dragon-Snake Movement Art is vast. Using it as your foundation, your future as a Creation-level Venerable is boundless."

"Master, I have already created an ultimate unique skill," Meng Chuan said. "I plan to consolidate my strength, then make a trip to the World Gap to see if I can find Sacred Lord Qiansi. Once I've killed Sacred Lord Qiansi, I will immediately break through to become a Creation-level Venerable."

Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang all listened in a daze.

"Kill Sacred Lord Qiansi?"

The three of them didn't pay attention to that at all.

They only cared about...

"Created an ultimate unique skill?" Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang looked at Meng Chuan as if he were a monster.

"Our human world is about to produce a great figure," Li Guan said, staring at Meng Chuan. "Since Ancestor Cang Yuan, our human world's younger generation of disciples has been rather ordinary, miles away from Ancestor Cang Yuan. Now, we finally have a genius who can approach Ancestor Cang Yuan."

"Creating an ultimate unique skill... and he actually did it?" Qin Wu and Luo Tang were also shaken.

Such an unparalleled prodigy was something they had only ever read about in Yuan Chu Mountain's ancient records.

Those were records of legendary figures from the outer realm.

Every individual capable of creating their own ultimate unique skill was a legend.

Now, such a legend stood before them, a Godfiend of their very own Yuan Chu Mountain!

At this moment...

Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang seemed to see a peerless expert, one approaching Ancestor Cang Yuan, gradually rising, ushering in another brilliant era for the human world.

"Venerable One, Master?" Meng Chuan looked at the three individuals before him.

"Meng Chuan," Qin Wu quickly said, "you must keep the matter of you creating an ultimate unique skill as secret as possible. Don't let it spread."

"Yes, if it reaches the demon race, it could cause trouble," Li Guan added. "Of course, within the human world, no one can threaten you. However, with your talent, you will eventually venture into the outer realm, where all kinds of powerful beings exist. You must keep the fact that you created an ultimate unique skill a secret there as well. It will save you a lot of trouble."

Meng Chuan nodded.

This was similar to the advice his ancestor, Immortal Maiden Meng, had given him; keeping some trump cards hidden was beneficial for himself.

"I remember, it was recorded in the books left by Ancestor Cang Yuan," Meng Chuan said, "that to instantly discern the intricate combined profundities of a technique and confirm it as an ultimate unique skill, one would need to be at least a Fifth Tribulation Realm mighty figure. So, as long as I am careful, even if I use it, others won't recognize it."

"That's for when you venture into the outer realm; we'll discuss it in detail later," Li Guan said with a smile. "For now, you plan to consolidate your strength and then make a trip to the World Gap?"

Meng Chuan nodded: "Once I become a Creation-level Venerable, I won't be able to enter the World Gap anymore. So, I should take this opportunity to eliminate Sacred Lord Qiansi. However, it's hard to estimate when Sacred Lord Qiansi will enter, so I might have to wait there for a year or two."

Among the Five-Heaven Demon Kings, the most threatening were Monarch Peacock, Sacred Lord Qiansi, and Old Ancestor Poison Dragon. Now, Monarch Peacock had departed for the outer realm, Old Ancestor Poison Dragon was dead, and Meng Chuan decided to deal with Sacred Lord Qiansi before his breakthrough.

"You decide for yourself," Qin Wu said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Meng Chuan, what is your ultimate unique skill particularly good at?" Luo Tang pressed, while Li Guan and Qin Wu also watched Meng Chuan with curiosity.

"It's very similar to Senior Guo Ke's Heaven-Earth realm technique, the 'Heart Intent Saber'," Meng Chuan replied. "It probably has about seventy to eighty percent of the 'Heart Intent Saber's' power."

"Similar to the Heaven-Earth realm's 'Heart Intent Saber'?" Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang were secretly startled.

With that one saber technique,

Senior Guo Ke, even as a Regressor Godfiend, was unrivaled in his era.

With that technique, Creation-level Venerables couldn't even see the saber, let alone defend against it, before they were already struck.

"Using my ultimate unique skill for movement, my speed is also much greater than before," Meng Chuan continued. "I can reach any location in the human world in an instant, allowing for faster rescues."

"Good."

"Understood," Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang all nodded in acknowledgment.

Soon after,

Meng Chuan departed.

Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang remained silent for a long time.

"I feel relieved," Li Guan finally spoke. "Although I only have a few decades left before my lifespan limit and won't see the end of this war, I am at ease. With Meng Chuan here, even if this war takes an unfavorable turn for a time... we will ultimately emerge victorious."

"After so many years, it seems our human world is about to produce another Tribulation Realm mighty figure," Qin Wu said with a smile. "To have one's own disciple become a Tribulation Realm mighty figure, the feeling is truly..."

"Look at you, all proud," Luo Tang chuckled. "Regardless, I feel a lot lighter now."

"I can still live quite a while, and with the help of the 'Instant Millennium Secret Art,' I'll live even longer," Qin Wu said with a faint smile. "Now, I just want to see how far our human world can progress under my disciple, Meng Chuan's, guidance."

"I'm younger than you, you know," Luo Tang said with a laugh.

Li Guan smiled and nodded: "I must remind both of you: at a time like this, it's even more important for Meng Chuan to be cautious and not act recklessly or take unnecessary risks. Our human race has waited so many years for a figure like him; we mustn't let him fall midway."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him," Qin Wu nodded repeatedly.
