Chapter 621: Six Tribulations Sixth Elder Meng Chuan and Elder Sanshi

Old Man Sanshi's pupils contracted.

He didn't pay attention to Long Han, a junior; he was concerned about Long Han's husband! This was because the 'World Residence' of the entire Kunyun Secret Realm had been arranged with a sophisticated formation, at least at the Seven-Tribulation Realm level. Long Han's husband, however, could easily enter, clearly having mastered the formation's control methods. Moreover, Long Han's husband was an outsider! The Kunyun Secret Realm allowed exit but not entry. But Long Han's husband could enter... Old Man Sanshi considered many implications. He would absolutely not tolerate another Six-Tribulation Realm expert controlling the Kunyun Secret Realm, which he had long considered his own.

"Could a Six-Tribulation Realm mighty figure have arrived, capable of instantly killing Heavenly Lament Demonic Ancestor and saving Long Han?" Old Man Sanshi quickly pondered. He didn't even dare to use spatial transference directly to where Heavenly Lament Demonic Ancestor died, fearing that the unfamiliar Six-Tribulation Realm expert might have already set up a formation trap, and he would fall right into it if he warped there.

"No good, return quickly," Old Man Sanshi immediately thought.

A whoosh. A stream of light materialized out of thin air, merging with Old Man Sanshi's avatar, making his aura noticeably denser. Old Man Sanshi ceased refining the World Residence, and his true body returned.

The World Residence was the core of the Kunyun Secret Realm, a rather elegant and serene cave-dwelling. The cave-dwelling stretched a thousand li wide, surrounded by vast lakes. Beyond the lakes, thick clouds enveloped everything. These thick clouds completely protected the World Residence. The clouds posed a significant barrier and exerted strong pressure on life forms; only Six-Tribulation Realm beings could break through and enter.

When Ancestor Cang Yuan came here, he set up a formation, creating a passage so that even weaker practitioners could pass through the cloud barrier and directly enter the cave-dwelling. Meng An had done this previously; however, due to his insufficient strength, he could only use Ancestor Cang Yuan's formation to enter the World Residence and cultivate within its environment, but he could not refine the World Residence or control the secret realm. A secret realm, though not comparable to a 'High-Tier Life World,' was far superior to a Mid-Tier Life World, nurturing a vast number of living beings. Controlling such a secret realm was a heavy burden, one that at least a Six-Tribulation Realm being could bear.

Whoosh. Inside this elegant cave-dwelling, a person materialized out of thin air: Meng Chuan, with white hair and white robes.

"Hmm? This Old Man Sanshi is truly decisive, reacting instantly and escaping with his true body?" Meng Chuan sensed the situation throughout the World Residence with a single thought. Old Man Sanshi had clearly fled in advance.

"It wouldn't be good to reveal my identity and act without rescuing Long Han first," Meng Chuan thought to himself. "By the time I saved Long Han and used spatial transference here, I was still a step too late."

The World Residence had a formation set up by Ancestor Cang Yuan. Even if Meng An mobilized the formation, he was no match for Old Man Sanshi. But as his father, Meng Chuan controlled the formation in the World Residence, giving him a geographical advantage! His chances of victory were at least ninety percent.

"The World Residence is truly extraordinary," Meng Chuan remarked. Here, the essence energy was gentle and abundant, and a special aura permeated the World Residence, even accelerating his primordial spirit's thought process.

"Ancestor Cang Yuan's 'Heaven and Earth Grand Hall' was created in imitation of the World Residence, but in terms of protective efficacy, the World Residence is far superior," Meng Chuan exclaimed. "After all, it was created by an Eight-Tribulation Realm mighty figure with great effort. For an Eight-Tribulation Realm mighty figure, this was a process of creating a world, another form of self-cultivation. And as the core of the secret realm, the 'World Residence' was even more profound and unfathomable."

In terms of hindering karma, the World Residence was even more miraculous, capable of confounding heavenly secrets, making karmic traces too vague to be detected. In fact, outside the secret realm, detecting beings within it was also affected. Before this, Meng Chuan only knew his son was in the Taidong River Domain, but his more precise location? It was impossible to pinpoint.

"Eight-Tribulation Realm mighty figures are even more skilled in matters of karma." The more Meng Chuan cultivated, the more awe he felt. Seven-Tribulation Realm mighty figures were already incredible, but Eight-Tribulation Realm mighty figures far surpassed them. The weapons, secret realms, and legacies they left behind... some were even restricted by the rules of the entire River of Spacetime.

Outside the World Residence, in the floating palace, Old Man Sanshi, leading his subordinates, had flown out of the palace and stood in mid-air, gazing at the World Residence from afar.

"Palace Lord, was Heavenly Lament Demonic Ancestor's true body killed?" a slightly plump, noble-looking woman beside him whispered. Another elder in a green robe also looked somewhat uneasy. Both of them were Five-Tribulation Realm mighty figures. All Five-Tribulation Realm mighty figures in the entire Kunyun Secret Realm dared not defy Old Man Sanshi, and Heavenly Lament Demonic Ancestor had always been a loyal subordinate, highly trusted by Old Man Sanshi. Old Man Sanshi couldn't have killed Heavenly Lament Demonic Ancestor, so it must be another Six-Tribulation Realm expert? The thought of another Six-Tribulation Realm expert existing naturally made these Five-Tribulation Realm mighty figures panic, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

"Don't rush, we'll know soon enough," Old Man Sanshi calmly watched ahead, then chuckled softly, "He's here."

"Hm?" The slightly plump noble-looking woman, the elder in green robes, and the other Tribulation Realm experts all looked intently.

From the direction of the World Residence in the distance, a figure flew out from the thick clouds. He wore white robes, with white hair cascading over his shoulders, and he didn't even exude a strong sense of pressure. For instance, when Old Man Sanshi's physical body ascended to the Six-Tribulation Realm level, the pressure he exuded was terrifying; merely releasing a wisp of his aura would make Five-Tribulation Realm experts uneasy with fear. However, the white-robed, white-haired man flying towards them did not emit much pressure.

"Old Man Sanshi, you escaped quite quickly," Meng Chuan said.

"Just as I expected," the thin Old Man Sanshi looked at Meng Chuan. "You and Island Lord Yulong are together, and indeed, you can also control the formation within the World Residence. If I had delayed even a step, I would have fallen into a trap." He had left immediately. This was because he hadn't refined the World Residence and had no geographical advantage there, while the opponent might control the World Residence's formation. As a Six-Tribulation Realm mighty figure himself, if the opponent held a geographical advantage, his chances of victory would be too low.

"I'm a bit curious," Old Man Sanshi squinted at Meng Chuan. "I've never seen you before. You could have covertly entered the World Residence first, used its formation to deal with me, destroyed my true body, and then taken control of the entire Kunyun Secret Realm. Yet you didn't do that. Instead, you remained hidden, first saving Long Han before entering the World Residence. This allowed me to leave the World Residence first... In your eyes, is a secret realm less important than Long Han's life?"

Meng Chuan looked at him. Meng Chuan didn't really care much about a secret realm. Having cultivated for 2,600 years to reach the Six-Tribulation Realm, only the trials of transcending tribulations remained. With such cultivation speed, Meng Chuan naturally aimed for the higher 'Seven-Tribulation Realm.' A secret realm? He would take it if he could, but it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't. Just like those Seven-Tribulation Realm mighty figures, how many of them personally became secret realm lords? They generally left such positions for their descendants.

"If you care about Long Han's life, you must also care about the lives of the entire Divine Dragon clan, right?" Old Man Sanshi stared at Meng Chuan, his gaze growing colder. He flipped his hand, revealing a small black pagoda in his palm. "Currently, over a million members of the Divine Dragon clan are inside the world within this pagoda. Their lives depend on you."

"Hand over this Kunyun Secret Realm to me, and they will all live."

"Refuse? They will all die," Old Man Sanshi said, looking at Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan scoffed disdainfully, "It was only because Yulong pleaded with me that I saved his wife. I couldn't care less about his wife's clan. A clan I don't even know wants me to give up a secret realm? You must be dreaming."

Old Man Sanshi's expression shifted slightly.

"One of my primordial spirit avatars has already begun refining the World Residence," Meng Chuan continued. "The formation left by my ancestor allows me to greatly accelerate the refining process. I believe I will control the secret realm within a few years. Do you dare to go to the World Residence and stop me? So this time... I have already won! This Kunyun Secret Realm is destined to be mine."

Already won? Old Man Sanshi grew somewhat anxious, but he knew the other party was right. The other party was refining it, but he simply dared not go to the World Residence! The World Residence had a formation set up by the other party's ancestor; going there would be suicide.

"Damn it, relying on a formation left by an elder," Old Man Sanshi muttered, quite unwilling. He lost because the opponent had assistance from an elder's formation. However, as a Six-Tribulation Realm mighty figure, even if he let the other party take the Kunyun Secret Realm, he wouldn't make it easy for them.

"Once I have thoroughly refined the World Residence," Meng Chuan stared at Old Man Sanshi, "I can easily crush your true body then."

"However, I can give you a chance," Meng Chuan said. "Release all the Divine Dragon clan members, and from now on, you must not involve any juniors. I can have a fair fight with you to determine the victor; the winner takes the Kunyun Secret Realm."

"It seems you still care about the lives of the Divine Dragon clan," Old Man Sanshi chuckled, staring at Meng Chuan.

"You can kill them," Meng Chuan said, looking at him. "Be decisive."

"Truthfully, the ownership of the secret realm isn't that important to me, and neither is the Divine Dragon clan," Meng Chuan said, looking at Old Man Sanshi. "I want both, but it's not a big deal if I lose them. So I propose a fight with you. If I win, everything is mine. If I lose, the Kunyun Secret Realm is yours."

"You can choose to accept or refuse; it's up to you," Meng Chuan said calmly.

Old Man Sanshi looked at Meng Chuan; he could sense the other party's resolve. A Six-Tribulation Realm mighty figure would not easily go back on their word.

"Alright." Old Man Sanshi nodded. "The Divine Dragon clan should thank you for stepping forward to save them. I also promise not to involve juniors from now on... But for a fair fight, it must naturally be truly fair. I suggest we choose the 'Heavenly Realm' of the Kunyun Secret Realm as our battlefield."

"Good, in the Heavenly Realm," Meng Chuan nodded.

"Issue the order," Old Man Sanshi instructed his subordinates. "Within half an hour, all Tribulation Realm experts and Monarchs in the entire Heavenly Realm must descend."

"Yes, sir." The slightly plump noble-looking woman, the elder in green robes, and the other Tribulation Realm experts respectfully complied. The entire Heavenly Realm was about to become the battlefield for two Six-Tribulation Realm mighty figures; other cultivators could not remain there.

"Wait for half an hour," Old Man Sanshi said. "I also have many junior disciples. Oh, and the Divine Dragon clan is all yours." With that, he tossed out a small black pagoda.

"Alright," Meng Chuan reached out and took the small black pagoda. A brief inspection revealed a large number of terrified Divine Dragon clan members within the pagoda's world. Over a million clan members were utterly afraid, fearing utter destruction.

A primordial spirit avatar, carrying the black pagoda, departed with a single step. Before the battle, he certainly needed to properly settle the Divine Dragon clan, Long Han, and Meng Yu.

"An'er, I've saved everyone I could," Meng Chuan murmured to himself, having done his utmost to reach this point.

Time slowly flowed. A white-robed, white-haired man and a thin, grim old man quietly confronted each other in mid-air, awaiting the mass evacuation of the entire Heavenly Realm of the Kunyun Secret Realm.
