Chapter 347 - Tribulation Eminence



Chapter 347 Tribulation Eminence

Tribulation Eminences? Meng Chuan carefully stared at the thinnest book. It was placed at the back. From the order, it was likely the most important. He asked curiously, “What is a Tribulation Eminence? I’ve never heard of it before.”

Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang smiled.

“According to Archean Mountain’s rules, one will only come into contact with such secrets after becoming a Creation Supremacy,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “This is because knowing about it too early wouldn’t be of any use. Instead, it might add to your distracting thoughts.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

“However, now that we are at war, we can make an exception,” said Qin Wu. “Only by becoming a Creation Supremacy can one enter the River of Spacetime. Therefore, Creation Supremacies are the most common and weakest in the River of Spacetime. As for those weaker than a Creation Supremacy? They can’t even see the River of Spacetime, so they don’t have the ability to traverse it.”

“Traverse the River of Spacetime?” Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. As a Regis Godfiend, he couldn’t even see the River of Spacetime. When he moved at maximum speed, he could sense that time and space were slightly affected. That was all.

If one wanted to traverse the River of Spacetime?The minimum requirement was to be a Creation Supremacy.

“You went to the World Gap and saw the birth of a world,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “You should know how helpful it is for cultivation if you witness those mysterious scenes.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. He had only painted Fifteen Lightning Forms after seeing the purple lightning. This allowed him to advance in his saber art cultivation by leaps and bounds.

“As for the vast River of Spacetime, it’s much larger than the tiny World Gaps. There are plenty of majestic and mysterious scenes,” said Qin Wu. “After traveling the River of Spacetime, one will have more knowledge, boosting one’s cultivation speed. If Creation Supremacies were to just cultivate in their homeworld, they would only see the sun rise and set every day. They would only see the scenery in their world. The likelihood of those Supremacies becoming an Imperial Lord are slim.

“If you head into the River of Spacetime, perhaps you will have an epiphany when you encounter a mysterious phenomenon.” Qin Wu looked at Li Guan. “For example, your Uncle-Master Li should’ve long left the human world and traveled the River of Spacetime to obtain a sliver of hope of becoming an Imperial Lord. However, he remained in our homeworld because of the war.”

“Aren’t the two of you doing the same?” said Li Guan with a smile. “Archean Mountain’s rules. As long as a new Supremacy is born to guard the sect, an old Supremacy is free to roam the River of Spacetime. Now, all three of us are staying in our homeworld.”

Meng Chuan sighed. The Creation Supremacies had made a huge sacrifice.

“Meng Chuan,” said Qin Wu, “in the River of Spacetime, there are as many experts as there is sand on the beach. Creation Supremacies are the weakest, and it’s rare for them to encounter Imperial Lords. As for Tribulation Eminences, they are famous. A Tribulation Eminence is what lies after the Imperial Lord realm.”

“Supremacy, Imperial Lord, Tribulation Eminence?” Meng Chuan muttered.

“You know that the Essence Soul is divided into nine levels, right?” asked Qin Wu. “To become an Imperial Lord, one needs to reach the Heaven Earth realm and have a seventh-level Essence Soul. The eighth level of the Essence Soul is Tribulation Transcendence. The ninth level is Eternal.”

Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up as he nodded immediately.

“In fact, above the Imperial Lord realm, there are two ways to break through. One way is through the Physical Body Tribulation; the other is the Essence Soul Tribulation. Of course, you can also cultivate both,” continued Qin Wu. “The difficulty of cultivating one’s Essence Soul increases as one progresses. It’s very difficult for an Imperial Lord to attain an eighth-level Essence Soul. Eighth-level Essence Souls also vary in strength. The more tribulations one transcends, the more terrifying one’s Essence Soul becomes.”

“A newly-advanced eight-level Essence Soul mystic technique can only suppress a seventh-level Essence Soul. If a Second Tribulation Eminence suppresses others with an Essence Soul mystic technique, I’m afraid even an Imperial Lord will have only 10 to 20 percent of their strength left and can barely maintain consciousness.

“If one reaches the Fourth Tribulation realm, their Essence Soul mystic technique can instantly kill a seventh-level Essence Soul expert. The victim won’t even have the strength to resist,” said Qin Wu. “No matter how high an Imperial Lord’s technique realm is, their Essence Soul will be instantly killed. One must transcend the Physical Body Tribulation if they wish to withstand an Essence Soul attack.

“That’s why a Tribulation Eminence can only fight other Tribulation Eminences after they reach the Fourth Tribulation realm.” Qin Wu said, “A Fourth Tribulation Eminence can kill an Imperial Lord in one strike, but they’re only an average Tribulation Eminence. There are even higher realms… There are nine levels to the Tribulation realm. After passing the ninth tribulation, one will be Eternal.”

“Eternal?” Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, Eternal,” said Qin Wu. “According to the books written by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, such figures are eternal existences in the River of Spacetime. They are invincible, and are known as Rulers.”

“Rulers?” Meng Chuan memorized the information.

“However, it’s too difficult. No one has become a Ruler in the long span of time we roamed the River of Spacetime. That’s an infinitely distant legend,” said Qin Wu. “The River of Spacetime is boundless. Perhaps a Ruler has been born in a distant place. At the very least, Ancestral Master Archean Eon is very certain that such an existence has been born.

“The cultivation of an Essence Soul is to seek answers from one’s inner self. Therefore, there were another three eighth-level Essence Soul experts in human history,” said Qin Wu. “The strongest became a Third Tribulation Eminence, so it would’ve been very easy for that person to kill an Imperial Lord.”

“As for physical body cultivation, the requirements on one’s cultivation realm and cultivation system are even more complicated. One has to cultivate their body to a sufficiently perfected state before they can reach the Physical Body Tribulation realm. Up to now, only Ancestral Master Archean Eon has reached the Physical Body Tribulation realm.” Qin Wu’s eyes were filled with admiration. “Ancestral Master Archean Eon was a Seven Tribulation Eminence. His might was astounding. Countless worlds around us fear our Ancestral Master Archean Eon.”

Li Guan and Luo Tang were filled with admiration.

“The strength of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence is beyond your imagination. They can destroy the world with a single thought. Our war is nothing more than a triviality to them. In the early tribal days of our human world, the world was desolate and much smaller than it is now. In fact, the world could only accommodate Creation Supremacies,” said Qin Wu. “It was Ancestral Master Archean Eon who nourished the world. Furthermore, he used his unimaginable powers to strengthen our human world, allowing the human world to expand to its current state. It’s also capable of accommodating existences like Imperial Lords.

“Ancestral Master Archean Eon lived for more than 180,000 years. He spent almost his entire life wandering the River of Spacetime,” said Qin Wu. “When he was close to the end of his lifespan, he silently returned to his homeworld and helped improve its world level. He left many arrangements for his descendants before silently passing away.”

“One’s lifespan can also increase? Over 180,000 years?” Meng Chuan felt that everything was very distant. “One lives if they transcend the Tribulations successfully; otherwise, they die. One can have long or short lifespans,” said Qin Wu. “However, an Imperial Lord has a 10,000-year lifespan. Tribulation Eminences break the lifespan limit after transcending a tribulation successfully. Their lifespans will be greatly extended. The longest-living human was Ancestral Master Archean Eon. Next was Imperial Lord An Yang. He was a Third Tribulation Eminence. He lived for 23,000 years.

“These are all secrets. It’s useless even if a Regis Godfiend knows. After all, you can’t go to the River of Spacetime.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan nodded.

“The treasures I’m showing you are all things that Regis Godfiends can use.” Qin Wu pointed at the five books in front of him. “Spend time reading them and choose wisely. Choose any two treasures. By the way, you can only choose one Tribulation Eminence treasure. With your current strength, you can only refine them with an Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art. Therefore, you can only choose one. You won’t be able to use the rest even if you have more.”
