Chapter 695: Seven Tribulation Era Opening the Heavens

Chapter One: Secret Technique 'Three Autumn Leaves'By I Eat Tomatoes

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the quiet room, unable to calm his mind for a long time.

Who would have thought that just moments ago, a wisp of his primordial spirit had actually left this long river of spacetime? Beings below the Eighth Tribulation Realm cannot escape their associated long river of spacetime on their own. They must rely on external forces; for instance, an Eighth Tribulation Realm mighty figure can naturally carry them out. However, that 'fruit' was not as potent as a true Eighth Tribulation Realm mighty figure, only able to carry a wisp of the primordial spirit to that mysterious place.

"I also saw Ancestor Dragon," Meng Chuan mused. "I'm sure he saw me too."

"Ancestor Dragon created a universe?"

Meng Chuan clearly remembered the nineteen scenes of universe creation. He felt no sense of 'recognition' for the other eighteen figures, indicating no prior karmic entanglement.

"The intelligence from the White Bird Pavilion states that Ancestor Dragon is the wealthiest among the Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators born in our home universe, and implicitly, the strongest," Meng Chuan thought. "But I didn't expect him to be able to create a universe. If he can create a universe, has he not yet reached the Eternal Realm?"

"I am too far from Ancestor Dragon right now."

Meng Chuan then carefully sensed the changes within himself.

For a Primordial Spirit Tribulation Realm cultivator, a wisp of primordial spirit thought is akin to a primordial spirit clone. As that wisp roamed in the 'Heaven-Opening Rule' ocean, it gained special abilities from the influence, which Meng Chuan's true body and other primordial spirit clones also mastered.

"Condense."

With a single thought, a terrifying 'edge' immediately condensed within Meng Chuan's illusory primordial spirit world.

This edge naturally contained the Heaven-Opening Rule, like a 'Blade of Heaven-Opening', incomparably sharp and capable of breaking through anything.

"A Blade of Heaven-Opening?" Meng Chuan wondered, feeling the blade condensed in his primordial spirit. "I haven't even comprehended the Heaven-Opening Rule, yet I can unleash a blade containing it?"

Of the three Six Tribulation Realm rules he currently mastered, spatial rules are related to the 'Heaven-Opening Rule'. To comprehend the Heaven-Opening Rule, spatial rules must first be comprehended.

As for the 'Lightning Rule' and 'Microparticle Rule', they are only partially related to the Heaven-Opening Rule.

Meng Chuan, still sitting cross-legged, flipped his hand and took out the exotic treasure, the 'Spacetime Token'. Immediately, a primordial spirit clone entered the 'mini-universe' within it.

"Boom."

The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan launched an attack in a dark void within the mini-universe.

A black edge appeared out of nowhere, instantly splitting the boundless vastness ahead completely in two. The severed distance spanned a hundred trillion miles, and this was without Meng Chuan deliberately striking across spacetime.

At the Seven Tribulation Realm level, every attack has an extremely vast affected area.

"Is this a Seven Tribulation Realm level technique?" Meng Chuan was somewhat shocked. "It feels very close to the punches and palms of the Darkstar Society Master."

Inside the Heaven and Earth Great Hall, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged, still immersed in the power of the Blade of Heaven-Opening.

"I haven't mastered the Heaven-Opening Rule techniques, yet I can unleash them," Meng Chuan mused, suddenly thinking of a type of creature: "Forbidden creatures!"

"Forbidden creatures are just like this; they don't comprehend rules, but they can still utilize them."

"Therefore, the techniques they use are weaker in intricacy and power compared to mighty figures at the same Tribulation Realm level," Meng Chuan understood. "I am also like this; I only know this one technique."

Compared to a Seven Tribulation Realm mighty figure who has mastered the 'Heaven-Opening Rule', he only knew this one technique. The opponent, however, could apply it freely to numerous techniques and would easily crush him in a head-on battle.

But without a doubt, his technique was already at the Seven Tribulation Realm level.

"The Heaven-Opening Rule is the most offensive among the Ten Fundamental Rules. All power condenses into one, fully erupting," Meng Chuan understood.

The Chaotic Cauldron Rule, for instance, possesses multiple characteristics such as immense power, a strong domain, and a formidable physical body. While slightly inferior to the 'Material Rule' in direct confrontation, it holds an advantage in terms of its domain.

The Heaven-Opening Rule has only one point: 'Heaven-Opening'!

Even though the Darkstar Society Master possesses an incredibly powerful Seven Tribulation Realm physical body and excels in head-on combat, in terms of explosive rule power, the Material Rule is inferior to the 'Heaven-Opening Rule'. Meng Chuan's 'Blade of Heaven-Opening' technique, even when condensed and unleashed from his primordial spirit world, approached the power of the Darkstar Society Master's attacks. However, the Darkstar Society Master had completely mastered a rule, making his combat far more intricate. In a head-on confrontation, he would likely swiftly defeat Meng Chuan.

"Regardless, this is the only Seven Tribulation Realm level technique I can currently unleash," Meng Chuan said, feeling a surge of excitement.

While exotic treasures like the Spacetime Token and powerful Eighth Tribulation Realm secret treasures could significantly boost his strength, such items could also be seized.

However, the techniques he personally mastered could be unleashed by any of his primordial spirit clones.

"I'm a bit like a Seven Tribulation Realm forbidden creature, not having mastered rules, yet able to unleash Seven Tribulation Realm techniques," Meng Chuan chuckled to himself. "And I'm even weaker than them, as Seven Tribulation Realm forbidden creatures... their very life essence has advanced to the Seven Tribulation Realm." Yet, deep down, he was extremely delighted.

On one hand, he had mastered a formidable killing move.

Most importantly, frequently practicing and experiencing it would make comprehending the Heaven-Opening Rule much smoother.

"Of the three wondrous treasures bestowed by the Pavilion Master, the first one alone has given me great gains," Meng Chuan murmured, his gaze falling upon the remaining two treasures on the wooden tray before him: a black book and a silver cube.

"This book."

Meng Chuan reached out, picked up the black book, and opened its pages.

On the first page, his primordial spirit detected a message:

"Reach the Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm, break through all three thousand illusion formations in this book, and you may become my disciple."

The message was very simple.

It was ordinary, without any oppressive aura or extraordinary qualities, yet its tone was outrageously grand.

"Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm, and then break through three illusion formations, only then can one be his disciple? Who is he? An Eternal being?" Meng Chuan muttered to himself. Considering that this book shared some similarities with the Eternal Secret Treasure Grand Seal, Meng Chuan somewhat believed it might truly be a book left by an Eternal being. Moreover, given that it was personally bestowed by the White Bird Pavilion Master and its astonishing value, the veracity of the message should be very high.

"An Eternal being's disciple recruitment threshold is this high?" Meng Chuan mused. Among current Seven Tribulation Realm cultivators, only three belong to the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Realm, making the Primordial Spirit lineage a very small proportion. The same applies to the 'Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm'. If creating one's own physical body method is a tangible path where one knows how to strive, then the spiritual will required for the 'Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm' is unbelievably high.

Reaching the peak of the Demon Mountain Path and the spiritual will required for the Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm threshold have fundamental differences.

"As I understand, influenced by Ancestor Dragon, our long river of spacetime is predominantly focused on the physical body lineage," Meng Chuan mused. Ancestor Dragon indeed left behind many legacies, such as sacrificial scrolls and similar methods, all of which made cultivation in the physical body lineage easier. Ancestor Dragon's own achievements in the 'physical body lineage' were so profound that they deepened the foundation of the 'physical body lineage' in this universe.

"According to the intelligence from the White Bird Pavilion, outside the universe, Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators are also far rarer than Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators."

"Judging by the meaning of this book, even Primordial Spirit Eighth Tribulation Realm cultivators aren't guaranteed to be accepted as disciples?" Meng Chuan looked at the book. "Let's first see what these three thousand illusion formations are like."

Meng Chuan turned another page.

As his primordial spirit intention permeated it, Meng Chuan's consciousness entered the world within the book.

This was an illusionary world about a hundred miles in size, containing only soil, water, and a small blade of grass.

"Crack this illusion formation?" Meng Chuan looked at the simple illusionary world, unsure how to begin.

"Soil, water, a small blade of grass? That's it?"

Meng Chuan stared blankly.

He could perceive the profound operational mysteries behind the soil, water, and small blade of grass, but this simple illusionary world was flawless; he couldn't find a single weak point.

"Boom." Meng Chuan waved his hand casually.

The small blade of grass was obliterated by the blast but then condensed and recovered.

"Three rules rotating, very perfect." Meng Chuan meditated for a full three hours before he had an epiphany. He extended his hand and lightly pointed into the void.

Fluctuations spread. Although the entire illusionary world's operation seemed perfect, once a key point was leveraged, it completely collapsed.

"That's quite interesting."

Meng Chuan, however, was moved, gaining new insight into the structure of the primordial spirit world.

As Meng Chuan cracked the simplest illusion formation on the first page, the black book naturally turned to the second page, and Meng Chuan immersed himself in it again.

It took him three hours to crack the first illusion formation, and six and a half months to crack the second. When Meng Chuan then turned to the third page, he found it completely incomprehensible.

Out of three thousand illusion formations, he could only crack two at his current realm.
