Chapter 548: Escape from Dimension Teleportation

"You're saying one is the Monster Race's Grotto-Heaven, and the other is the Sky Demon Gate's Grotto-Heaven?" Qin Wu was incredulous. For so many years, the Sky Demon Gate had plagued humanity, and Yuanchu Mountain had exhausted every method to locate them. Even when Yuanchu Mountain dispatched Godfiends to infiltrate the Monster Race and blend into their Grotto-Heavens, they still couldn't find the Monster Race's true location.

Now Meng Chuan had captured them all?

Luo Tang and Meng An also stared intently at the aquamarine bead and the fist-sized rock.

"For all those years before, I had no way to find them," Meng Chuan explained. "Just recently, after the war was won, my Primeval Spirit broke through and reached the eighth level."

"Eighth-level Primeval Spirit?"

"A Tribulation-level being?"

Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng An were all stunned, then gazed at Meng Chuan with fervent anticipation.

"Father has become a Mighty One in the Tribulation Realm?" Meng An was also somewhat shaken.

The trials set by Ancestor Cang Yuan were also intended to give direct disciples a sufficiently strong foundation, enabling them to achieve 'perfect physical bodies' and become Mighty Ones in the Tribulation Realm in the future.

And now, his father, Meng Chuan, was already a Tribulation-level being?

"Yes," Meng Chuan nodded, facing their fervent gazes.

"A Tribulation-level being! Our human world finally has another Mighty One in the Tribulation Realm," Qin Wu exclaimed, deeply moved. "After so long, we are finally poised for prosperity and flourishing."

A powerful cultivator would elevate the entire living world.

Of course, if it were merely a weaker Mighty One in the Tribulation Realm, their impact on the world's advancement would be limited. For instance, Third Tribulation Mighty Ones are common in the outer realms, while Fourth Tribulation Mighty Ones are qualified to roam freely within a galaxy. Only a Fifth Tribulation Mighty One is considered a true overlord in the outer realms. At the Fifth Tribulation level, their assistance to their home world becomes immense.

If a Sixth Tribulation Mighty One appears, they can elevate their home world from a 'lower world' to a 'middle world'. If their home world is already a middle world, they can cause it to expand even further.

For example, the Monster Race World, though also a middle world like Cang Yuan World, is much larger.

"A Mighty One in the Tribulation Realm," Luo Tang's eyes lit up. "The ethereal picture we saw just now, merging instantly into the void—was that the Primeval Spirit World?"

"Precisely," Meng Chuan nodded. "With a single thought, a world can descend. The entire Cang Yuan World is now enveloped by my Primeval Spirit World, allowing me to perceive everything with absolute clarity."

Within the bounds of one's Primeval Spirit World, one is the master of that world.

Techniques like 'Void Domain' only provide control and perception of the void. If an opponent employs special methods, they can still evade such sensory probes.

However, within one's own Primeval Spirit World... the enemy has no escape and will inevitably be exposed.

"So, you can now track down the Sky Demon Gate's pawns everywhere?" Qin Wu pressed.

"Don't worry," Meng Chuan nodded. "Besides their core Grotto-Heaven, the Sky Demon Gate has thirty-five branch offices scattered across the world, each guarded by a Sky Demon. I will round up all thirty-five branches. However, for the Sky Demon Gate's influence network that has infiltrated various regions, I have already gathered intelligence, and apprehending them will require the assistance of the local 'Earth Net' forces."

"That's wonderful!"

"We've finally resolved the threat of the Sky Demon Gate," Qin Wu and Luo Tang both exclaimed, invigorated.

The Sky Demon Gate's influence network, which had permeated various regions, consisted entirely of mortal members. Most of them hadn't even practiced the Sky Demon techniques, making them impossible to identify from the outside. This was the biggest headache for the human Godfiends.

Now, using his Primeval Spirit World, Meng Chuan could envelop the entire world with a single thought, effortlessly viewing every piece of information.

Meng Chuan could easily ascertain the member lists of every city.

As Meng Chuan and the others were conversing...

Whoosh.

A figure appeared beside them—a middle-aged man with white sideburns. Upon materializing, his expression subtly changed as he saw Meng Chuan and the three others, then he sighed, "I truly didn't expect to be captured alive so quickly."

Meng Chuan and the three others all looked at the Sky Demon Gate Master.

"Greetings, Emperor Dongning, and greetings, three Venerables," the Sky Demon Gate Master bowed first, then asked, "I wish to know how you found my Sky Demon Gate's Grotto-Heaven."

Whoosh, a brawny Bear Monster King appeared next to him. Seeing Meng Chuan and the others, the Bear Monster King's face changed drastically. It also noticed the Sky Demon Gate Master and could only bow its head, "Greetings, human Godfiends."

"Where are Saint Monarch Qian Qu and Saint Monarch Bei Jue?" Qin Wu inquired.

"Both of them vanished long ago," the Bear Monster King replied. "Right after Emperor Dongning captured a large group of Fifth-Heaven Monster Kings, both Saint Monarchs disappeared."

"They are no longer in Cang Yuan World," Meng Chuan stated.

"It seems they escaped decades ago. They were quick indeed," Luo Tang commented.

Within Cang Yuan World, the Monster Race and the Sky Demon Gate faced their true doomsday.

The Monster Race was the easiest to detect. Enveloped by the Primeval Spirit World, not a single one could escape. Even ordinary Monster Race members hiding in deep mountains and old forests were all apprehended by Meng Chuan.

As for the Sky Demon Gate, once their Grotto-Heaven and thirty-five branches were completely rounded up, local Earth Net operations immediately followed, frantically apprehending the Sky Demon Gate's grassroots members. This caused some commotion and a few casualties. However, since the Earth Net forces in each region were led by Godfiends, and the Sky Demon Gate members they dealt with were mere mortals, the losses remained exceedingly minimal.

Meng Chuan couldn't do everything himself; although he could find the lists, it was difficult to match each individual on the list.

Furthermore, the Sky Demon Gate had an immense number of mortal members—over ten million. After all, it was a force led by over a thousand Sky Demons for centuries, using unscrupulous means and various temptations to attract members. Many mortal members never even cultivated the Sky Demon system; they simply coveted the various benefits offered by the Sky Demon Gate.

Yuanchu Mountain, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

Meng Chuan sat in the pavilion, looking at the black-and-white bracelet in his hand.

"Mangguang Sect," Meng Chuan murmured, gazing at the black-and-white bracelet. "Historically, the Mangguang Sect never produced an Emperor, though it did have three Venerables of the Heaven and Earth Realm. Surprisingly, among the sect's treasures, there's a Six-Tribulation Secret Treasure."

Meng Chuan was quite surprised.

In terms of history and foundation, the Mangguang Sect was only slightly inferior to sects like Black-White Grotto-Heaven and Ten Thousand Swords Sect, yet it had also flourished for three hundred thousand years.

Its history even surpassed that of 'Two World Island'!

It possessed as many as three Tribulation-level Secret Treasures.

Since reaching the eighth level of Primeval Spirit, Meng Chuan's Primeval Spirit World enveloped Cang Yuan World, collecting all scattered treasures throughout the realm. Even treasures like the 'Canghai Sect's Hoard,' which he hadn't obtained previously, could now be retrieved after he achieved the eighth level of Primeval Spirit.

"Originally, the Cang Yuan Sect completely unified humanity and was the sole Godfiend sect, facing no external enemies."

"Without external enemies, it naturally led to internal strife and corruption."

Meng Chuan still highly agreed with Ancestor Yuanchu's original decision.

Back then, the Cang Yuan Sect had become quite decadent.

Meng Chuan now possessed the power to unify the world, but he felt it wasn't necessary.

Yuanchu Mountain, with the various sect-guarding treasures left by Ancestor Cang Yuan, had the deepest and most unshakeable foundation. For an unshakeable sect, a slight external threat was actually beneficial.

"Father," Meng An approached from a distance.

"An'er," Meng Chuan casually put the black-and-white bracelet on his wrist and smiled at his son.

Meng An's expression, however, was somewhat solemn. He walked over and sat beside Meng Chuan.

"Just say what's on your mind directly, don't beat around the bush," Meng Chuan chuckled.

"Actually, I've become a direct disciple of Ancestor Cang Yuan," Meng An revealed. "Throughout history, those who supposedly inherited Ancestor Cang Yuan's legacy were merely registered disciples. Without extraordinary talent, one cannot become a direct disciple. It was due to the war that I was exceptionally made a direct disciple of the Ancestor."

"Oh?" Meng Chuan looked at his son.

What kind of vision did Ancestor Cang Yuan possess? To accept a direct disciple, his requirements must have been incredibly high.

"I should have left Cang Yuan World a long time ago," Meng An continued. "It was only because of the war that I could remain in my home world. But now that the war is won... according to the rules set by the Ancestor, I must leave Cang Yuan World within three years. Cultivation doesn't allow for too much wasted time."

"An'er, you're leaving Cang Yuan World?" Meng Chuan was somewhat concerned. He knew very well how dangerous the outer realms were, and An'er was currently only at the Venerable level. "Where in the outer realms will you go?"

Meng An replied, "I will be directly teleported to a distant river system, into a secret realm."

"A distant river system? Teleportation?" Meng Chuan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

He knew that teleportation techniques existed in the outer realms.

For instance, when he purchased treasures from the Eternal Tower, if the price was high enough, they could be swiftly delivered across many river systems, utilizing 'teleportation techniques'.

Ancestor Cang Yuan's legacy evidently included treasures capable of teleportation, though Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and the others hadn't been able to access them before.

"A distant river system, a secret realm?" Meng Chuan asked, "Which river system?"

"I don't know," Meng An shook his head. "Only that it's very far."

Meng Chuan looked at his son.

His son, Meng An, was currently only at the Venerable level and possessed just one true body. Venturing out would truly be too dangerous.

"Must you go? Is there no other way?" Meng Chuan asked.

"I've endured all the cultivation provided to a direct disciple along the way," Meng An stated. "If I fail, I will be sent back. If I succeed... I don't know when I will be able to return."

Meng Chuan understood.

From a cultivation perspective, Ancestor Cang Yuan, as a Seventh Tribulation Mighty One, was at the pinnacle of the vast River of Spacetime. He had access to far more secrets and opportunities. The 'Primeval Spirit Star' legacy, casually placed in the Heart Sea Palace, was itself a legacy from an Eighth Tribulation Mighty One. And this was clearly not Ancestor Cang Yuan's most important inheritance.

"If you want to go, then go," Meng Chuan nodded. "However, wait for me for a few days first."

"Wait a few days?" Meng An looked at his father.

"Come find me in three days," Meng Chuan said, standing up and walking away, thinking to himself, "It's time to explore Ancestor Cang Yuan's treasures."

He hoped that with his current status, he could help An'er.
