Archean Eon Art Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Stone Talisman

“Take it.” Qin Wu said with a smile, “Although Origins Returning baneful aura is precious, it has been in the treasury for a long period of time. It's a good thing that you can refine it, making it useful. As for the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead, a pocket grotto-heaven, that has a 250 kilometer-wide space, is nothing to Archean Mountain. Instead, it will be very convenient for you. When you carry out underground reconnaissance and kill demons, you can throw all the demon corpses and treasures in it.”

Meng Chuan understood that Archean Mountain definitely had a large-scale grotto-heaven treasure. For example, every disciple had to go to Nine Mystical Caves, which spanned more than 250 kilometers.

“I believe I'll be able to obtain a lot of credits by carrying out underground reconnaissance.” Meng Chuan didn't like to take advantage of others. In the future, when he pursued the demons, he alone could match a sect's results. How many demons would he kill annually? Those demon monarchs could be exchanged for a massive amount of credits. In addition, the treasures left behind by the demon monarchs could also be exchanged for credits. 700 million credits? It really wasn't much.

“Every time a person takes up a new position, we will give credits,” said Qin Wu. “In the past ten plus years, you were the nation's top Patroller. You guarded six states and were equivalent to a Regis Godfiend guarding a city pass. You earned five million credits every year. Now, you are the number one Patroller of Archean Mountain. You will earn 20 million credits every year. After giving you Origins Returning baneful aura and the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead, you will not receive any credit for the next 35 years. In that case, there will be nothing personal.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

“Having it be one of us is the best.” Archean Mountain Lord sighed. “King White Treasure only came for a month. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven ruthlessly fleeced us.”

Meng Chuan couldn't help but ask, “How much did they ask for?”

With a smile, Qin Wu said, “Although all of us are working together to deal with the demons, we are ultimately three different sects. We still have differences. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven also knows that our Archean Mountain has accumulated many resources over generations. It's normal for them to take the opportunity to get more benefits. If Two World Island invites you over in the future, we will also take the opportunity to ask for some benefits from Two World Island. Leave these matters to me. I'm afraid you don't know what benefits you can get.”

“Yes, Master, you can decide.” Meng Chuan nodded.

“Regardless, you have to first carry out underground reconnaissance of our Great Zhou Dynasty before thinking of helping Two World Island,” said Qin Wu. “King White Treasure took ten years to sweep through Black Sand Dynasty's underground.” “I'll begin the reconnaissance today,” said Meng Chuan.

“No rush.” Qin Wu said, “I'll send a Regis Godfiend to take over responsibility for your six assigned states. You can begin sweeping through our Great Zhou Dynasty tomorrow.' With that said, Qin Wu waved his hand solemnly. A gray stone talisman appeared in his palm. The gray stone looked ordinary, but from the runic patterns on its surface, Meng Chuan felt as though spacetime was in chaos.

“Take this treasure with you.” Qin Wu stared at Meng Chuan solemnly. “Remember, crush it when you encounter the danger of death. Don't crush it at any other time.”

“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked at the gray stone talisman.

“Crush it only when there's really no other way. If you can escape and live, don't waste it,” said Qin Wu. “This stone talisman is the only one left in Archean Mountain. I'll leave it with you now.” “What is its use?” asked Meng Chuan.

“It can save your life,” said Qin Wu. “Regardless of how dangerous it is, as long as you are in the human world, it will keep you alive. Your life now is not just yours. It's also related to the entire human race.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. Meng Chuan understood that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

“This treasure is the only one left, so don't use it if you can,” said Qin Wu. “Once it's used up, there won't be a second one. The other life-preservation items are ultimately lacking.” “I understand,” replied Meng Chuan. “You may leave,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

Following that, Meng Chuan left.

Archean Mountain Lord watched Meng Chuan leave and sighed. “It's really a blessing for our Archean Mountain. It's a blessing for us humans. Our chances of winning this war have increased again!”

“Supremacy, I'll head back first. The information from all over the world will probably be sent to me,” said Archean Mountain Lord.

Qin Wu nodded.

Moments later, it was still the same pavilion. In front of Qin Wu, an illusory Supremacy Luo Tang appeared.

“Are you telling me that Meng Chuan has an underground reconnaissance range of up to 1.5 kilometers?” said Luo Tang in pleasant surprise. “With his speed, wouldn't his underground reconnaissance efficiency be no lesser than King White Treasure's?”

“Yes!” Qin Wu nodded with a smile.

Luo Tang was extremely excited. “That's great. I never expected that his underground reconnaissance range would expand to 1.5 kilometers after reaching the Undying realm. His electromagnetic domain divine power is actually so effective at underground reconnaissance. Is there a way… to let other Godfiends learn this divine power?”

“To send them into Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven as well?” Qin Wu shook his head. “It's not easy to open Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven. Furthermore, what opportunities one obtains in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven depends solely on luck. Not all of them can obtain the heritage of the physical body cultivation system. Even if they obtain the heritage, they might not necessarily gain the electromagnetic domain divine power. Meng Chuan's Lightning Devastator Fiend Body happened to help him awaken this divine power.”

“Yes.” Luo Tang nodded. “I'm a little too excited. You're right. The heritage one can gain in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven depends solely on luck. We can't decide on it. I never expected a heritage that peaks at the Blood Droplet realm to have such a miraculous effect. What an unexpected gain. Qin Wu, it's all thanks to your insistence on letting Meng Chuan enter Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven that we have the present Meng Chuan.”

“I'm optimistic about his Essence Soul cultivation talent. It's a pleasant surprise that he has the electromagnetic domain divine power.” Qin Wu was delighted as well. “If he were to reach the Blood Droplet realm in the future, the strength of his divine power will greatly increase. The range of his electromagnetic domain will be much greater. In addition, he will be several times faster than he is now. His underground reconnaissance efficiency will proceed what it is now by perhaps ten-fold.”

“Exceed by ten-fold?” Luo Tang's heart stirred as she shook her head helplessly. “To reach the Blood Droplet realm, one needs to have a fifth-level Essence Soul. Furthermore, one's technique realm has to reach the Dharma Domain realm. Meng Chuan probably hasn't obtained a fourth-level Essence Soul for long, right? His technique realm is also very inferior.”

“He obtained a fourth-level Essence Soul last year,” said Qin Wu.

“He will probably take a few more years to obtain a fifth-level Essence Soul. Reaching the Dharma Domain realm will probably be even more difficult for him.” Luo Tang sighed.

“I'm confident in his Essence Soul cultivation talent. As for reaching the Dharma Domain realm, he's too slow,” said Qin Wu. “I'm hesitating now. Should I let him use one of the eight cardinal treasures of Archean Mountain, the Heart Questioning Bead?”

Luo Tang looked at her companion and couldn't help but say, “The laws of Heaven and Earth suppress the Heart Questioning Bead. It will shatter with one use. Qin Wu, are you sure you want Meng Chuan to use it? If King Calm Sea uses it, King Calm Sea might be able to reach the Creation realm.”

“He might also fail,” said Qin Wu. “To the entire human race, Meng Chuan's electromagnetic domain is more important.”

“The Heart Questioning Bead is one of the eight cardinal treasures. We need to awaken Senior Brother Li Guan to get all of Archean Mountain's Creation Supremacies to retrieve the Heart Questioning Bead together,” said Luo Tang. “It's not suitable to awaken Senior Brother Li Guan now. Furthermore, you know the Essence Soul becomes harder to cultivate in the later stages. Meng Chuan took 12 years to attain a fourth-level Essence Soul. I estimate that it'll take him at least 20 to 30 years to attain a fifth-level Essence Soul. Perhaps, Meng Chuan will reach the Dharma Domain realm by then.

“The Heart Questioning Bead mainly helps one's cultivation realm. It doesn't help one's Essence Soul,” said Luo Tang. “If Meng Chuan's Essence Soul is at the fifth level in the future, but he still hasn't reached the Dharma Domain realm, I believe Senior Brother Li Guan will agree to let Meng Chuan use the Heart Questioning Bead if the war escalates.”

“Yes.” Qin Wu nodded. “You are right. He might've reached the Dharma Domain realm by the time he attains a fifth-level Essence

Soul.”

“There is ultimately only one Heart Questioning Bead. It has to be used at the most crucial moment,” said Luo Tang.

“Our Archean Mountain has accumulated numerous treasures for generations. In our generation, we have used most of the treasures to deal with the war. We have truly shamed our ancestors,” said Qin Wu softly.

Luo Tang nodded slightly as well. “Right now, I only hope to win this war.”

“We will win,” said Qin Wu.
