Archean Eon Art Chapter 638

After reporting the news, Meng Chuan checked Eternal Tower's treasure vault to see if there was anything suitable for him.

Meng Chuan was slightly taken aback. “Eternal Tower responded so quickly?”

It took just 30 seconds.

“City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, please teleport to the nearby Eternal Tower River Zone headquarters.” The response was very simple. As a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan was considered a core force in the River of Spacetime. He had the right to head to Eternal Tower's headquarters in the River of Spacetime.

I haven't been to Eternal Tower's River of Spacetime headquarters before. Meng Chuan was rather curious. After all, Fifth Tribulation Eminences weren't qualified to go there. He heard that Seventh Tribulation Eminences had been presiding over it for a long time. He also heard that Eternal Tower's infinite number of treasures were hidden there.

That day, Meng Chuan's outer realm true body rushed to Scarlet Snake Planet through the River of Spacetime.

Scarlet Snake Planet was Eternal Tower's headquarters in Goddess River Zone.

The massive Scarlet Snake Planet was as prosperous as ever. Similarly, there were layers of array formations protecting it. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't cause any commotion when they entered or exited the planet. However, the array formation immediately sensed Meng Chuan when he arrived.

Immediately, an acquaintance came forward.

“What a rare occasion to have Brother Eastcalm come to my Scarlet Snake Planet personally,” said Chi Jiuxin with a chuckle as he flew over.

It was indeed very rare. This was because transactions could be done through Eastcalm City's Eternal Tower branch. Chi Jiuxin originally thought that probably more than 10,000 years would pass before he could meet Meng Chuan again. Who knew that they would meet again so quickly?

“I came because I have something important to do,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“Something important?” Chi Jiuxin was puzzled. “Brother Eastcalm, feel free to ask if there's anything I can help you with.”

“I want to use the Eternal Tower on Scarlet Snake Planet to head to Eternal Tower's headquarters in the River of Spacetime,” said Meng Chuan directly. This was because he had obtained the River Zone-level commander's approval.

“Head to the headquarters in the River of Spacetime?” Chi Jiuxin was slightly stunned. “Y-you…”

“Jiuxin, why are you still in a daze?” A thin elder appeared. His body was thin, and his face was wrinkled. He looked old, and his eyes were cold. At that moment, he looked at Meng Chuan with a rare smile.

“Patriarch.” Chi Jiuxin immediately bowed respectfully.

This person was Starlord Scarlet Snake, the only Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the River of Spacetime's Scarlet Snake race.

The thin elder smiled as he observed Meng Chuan. “It's no wonder Jiuxin couldn't tell that Brother Eastcalm has reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.”

Meng Chuan's Essence Soul was hidden in his sea of consciousness. As long as he restrained his aura, it was indeed difficult for others to sense his changes.

At the Physical Body Sixth Tribulation realm, one's body was exposed to the outside world. They could easily sense the difference in one's natural order in life.

“Starlord, you are wise,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“Including you, there are nine Sixth Tribulation Eminences in our Goddess River Zone,” said the thin elder with a smile. “Among them, there are three Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminences. They take up a third of the total. It's considered a high ratio.”

Meng Chuan understood what Starlord Scarlet Snake meant. Of all the Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime, 20% were Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences, while nearly 80% were Physical Body Tribulation Eminences.

“It's a joyous occasion to have a newly-advanced Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence in my homeworld's river zone. Come, come. Be my guest. I know you are going to the headquarters in the River of Spacetime to test your strength, but half a day isn't much of a delay.” Starlord Scarlet Snake was rather enthusiastic.

“As you say, Starlord,” replied Meng Chuan with a smile. He was very calm.

Chi Jiuxin followed by the side, still somewhat dazed. Brother Eastcalm has reached the Sixth Tribulation realm? He's that fast?

He had no idea about it. Although there was news of Meng Chuan breaking through to the Sixth Tribulation realm in the Cang Alliance space, it hadn't been completely confirmed. Secondly, the Cang Alliance space was a very small and private circle.

Meng Chuan and Starlord Scarlet Snake sat cross-legged in front of a spread containing delicacies and fine wine. They chatted as they drank and ate.

“Having cultivated our entire lives, the only thing we can't let up on is eating and drinking.” Starlord Scarlet Snake happily took a sip of the emerald-like wine and said, “Eating top-notch delicacies and drinking rare fine wine can make us feel joy from the bottom of our hearts. Since I'm approaching the end of my lifespan, I feel like I should enjoy good food and wine before I die.”

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement. He could understand what the other party was getting at.

“I've worried about my race my entire life. Since my chances of reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm are getting slimmer, I should treat myself better.” Starlord Scarlet Snake smiled at Meng Chuan. “It's rare to see a new Sixth Tribulation Eminence in my homeworld's river zone. If you don't mind me being nosy, I'll say a few words.”

“Starlord, please speak.” Meng Chuan poured wine for the other party, as well as for himself.

Starlord Scarlet Snake looked at Meng Chuan with the cup of wine in hand. “After reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm, the first major thing one has to do is join a certain faction.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He didn't know much about the current top factions in the River of Spacetime.

“Any Seventh Tribulation Eminence can form their own faction,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake. “They have no need to bow their heads to other experts. However, there are ultimately differences between Seventh Tribulation Eminences. For example, in this era, the two most dazzling existences in the entire River of Spacetime are the two strongest and most impressive existences.”

“Which two?” asked Meng Chuan. Although he had collected information on Seventh Tribulation Eminences, he had still been at the Fifth Tribulation realm back then. The information he could gather was too crude.

Starlord Scarlet Snake was slightly taken aback as he smiled. “That's true. You just broke through, so you aren't too sure. The most dazzling figures in this era are naturally Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian. They have grasped the laws of time and space. They are existences that have one foot into the Eighth Tribulation realm.”

Meng Chuan understood.

These two were at the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm! Their nomological insights were sufficient, but their bodies and Essence Souls had yet to break through to the Eighth Tribulation realm.

“The two of them are the most impressive figures in this era. With each of them as a core, they form the two strongest factions in the present era,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake with a smile. “I'm not saying this to persuade you to join these two factions. These two factions have as many experts as the clouds. They have several Seventh Tribulation Eminences and several half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. As an ordinary Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence, you won't turn heads, even if you join them.”

Meng Chuan nodded. There weren't many Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime. However, according to his understanding, there should be tens of thousands of them. He was only one among tens of thousands, and he had just broken through. Although there were very few Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime, there were probably nearly 10,000 of them.

“You are nothing amazing among the two factions,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake. “However, it's different for the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences. They have few experts under them. You will be valued more if you join them. You will also gain more benefits. We are fated to be together, so I won't harm you. The faction I recommend you to join is Centaurea Manor.”

“Manor Lord Centaurea?” Meng Chuan knew that the leader of this faction was also at the Seventh Tribulation realm. However, he didn't know much about him.

“I'm a subordinate of Manor Lord Centaurea. He is very kind to his subordinates. I followed him when I was still at the Fifth Tribulation realm. Back then, he was still at the Sixth Tribulation realm,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake as he reminisced.

“Manor Lord Centaurea is extremely talented and impressive. Now that he's a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he likes to befriend everyone. When Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian were still insignificant, Manor Lord Centaurea had greatly helped the two of them. Actually, it's not just the two of them. Nearly ten of the current Seventh Tribulation Eminences have received Manor Lord Centaurea's help.”

Meng Chuan was shocked.

Greatly helped them? Such words couldn't be spoken without evidence. After all, it involved the two most powerful existences in this era.

A great favor meant karma. The two of them had to consider Centaurea Manor Lord's stance in any matter.

If one didn't repay a favor and even resorted to underhanded means, it would result in great karma. To two existences who had the ambition of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, they definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Therefore, Centaurea Manor was indeed a very safe faction.

“Manor Lord is very impressive,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake. “If you join his faction, your future will be very smooth. If you join another faction, I'm afraid you'll be embroiled in plenty of trouble since they have many enemy factions.”

“Understood.” Meng Chuan smiled and nodded. “Thank you for your guidance, Starlord. I'll carefully digest this information before making a decision.”

Joining a faction had far-reaching implications. Hence, Meng Chuan had to be cautious.

“You do have to consider it carefully,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake solemnly. “However, I'll say a few more words. Don't join Celestial Thearch Myriad Star's faction.”

“Why?” Meng Chuan looked at him.

“It can't be said. You can take your time to understand why.” Starlord Scarlet Snake shook his head slightly, not daring to say too much.

He chatted with Meng Chuan for half a day.

Half a day later, on the ninth floor of Scarlet Snake Planet's Eternal Tower.

“Starlord, I'll take my leave first.” Meng Chuan stood at the teleportation array disc.

“The headquarters in the River of Spacetime is quite interesting. You should stay there for a few more days,” said Starlord Scarlet Snake with a smile.

Meng Chuan nodded. Through the spacetime fluctuations, he felt spacetime rapidly change.

Whoosh.

After everything stabilized, Meng Chuan found himself standing in the cosmos. In front of him were stars.

Tens of thousands of massive stars surrounded the towering nine-story Eternal Tower in the middle. The Eternal Tower emitted colorful light that illuminated the surroundings. I'm here. Meng Chuan could sense several auras in front of him, each one of them causing his heart to palpitate.
