Archean Eon Art-Chapter 702 - Creating an Essence Soul Formulation

When he thought of Meng Chuan, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s good mood significantly faded. After all, Meng Chuan was a member of White Avian Hall.

I never expected him to have such strength shortly after reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star pondered.

Many of Meng Chuan’s techniques were undoubtedly still immature, but his Heaven Splitting Chaos Hole was ridiculously powerful. It was definitely at the top of the Seventh Tribulation realm.

Weak defense? Weak domain? An Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence could abandon every Essence Soul avatar at any time.

All of these factors made Meng Chuan a huge threat.

Meng Chuan, I really don’t wish to become enemies with you. Otherwise, I’ll have a headache, and you will suffer. As an existence that controlled time and space, a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t be afraid of any enemies. At most, there would be another half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence in the River of Spacetime. He had fought Hall Lord White Avian for many years, so he could handle another half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

He didn’t believe that any of his enemies could become an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. After all, according to history, only one Eighth Tribulation Eminence could appear out of 100 half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star felt that Meng Chuan and Hall Lord White Avian were far from reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm.

…

In White Avian Hall’s headquarters, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in front of a bookshelf within the vast library. He flipped through Essence Soul formulation manuals.

There are 809 types of Essence Soul formulation manuals at the Seventh Tribulation realm in White Avian Hall. Meng Chuan placed the book back on the bookshelf. There are 12 Chaos Hole lineage manuals, and five are of the Heaven Splitting lineage.

There were too many Seventh Tribulation Essence Soul formulation manuals. This was because there were a few Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences in every era. After a long period of history, there were naturally many more Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

Even though White Avian Hall only had a small portion of the many cultivation techniques in history, it was already a very astonishing number. Meng Chuan didn’t have time to comprehend all of them, so he only read cultivation techniques of the Chaos Hole lineage and the Heaven Splitting lineage.

There are a total of 17 Essence Soul formulations for the Chaos Hole lineage and the Heaven Splitting lineage. Meng Chuan fell into deep thought. He had some gains after reading these formulations, but they were far inferior to the Eighth Tribulation Essence Soul legacies—Essence Soul Star and Eternal Road—that he had learned.

An Eighth Tribulation Essence Soul formulation is still most useful. White Avian Hall has five Eighth Tribulation Essence Soul formulations.

Meng Chuan stood up and walked more than ten steps before arriving in front of a bookshelf. There was only one crystal on the entire bookshelf. It was an Eighth Tribulation Essence Soul legacy—Heavenly River.

Meng Chuan sent a wisp of his Power of Essence Soul into the crystal, and a vast amount of information surged into his mind immediately.

Wonderful. Meng Chuan was overjoyed the moment he figured it out.

Even though he had previously obtained two Eighth Tribulation legacies, he still benefited greatly from gaining a superficial comprehension of a third Eighth Tribulation legacy.

The Heavenly River legacy was about change. The myriad rivers constantly changed, and the myriad rivers contained Origins laws, Sixth Tribulation laws, and countless weaker laws. They collided with each other and constantly transformed into new tiny laws. However, the countless streams of water gathered into a Heavenly River, which was eternal.

Change and Eternity were the core of Heavenly River.

Meng Chuan carefully studied the legacy for half a year before learning the next legacy.

Heavenly River, Sand of Time, and Book of Truth—these three Essence Soul legacies didn’t have any karmic restraints, so they could be directly studied.

There were also two other Eighth Tribulation legacies—Universe Evolution and Immeasurable Uniqueness—but reading them had karmic implications.

Once I learn Universe Evolution, I’ll need to protect a high-level world—Aeon World—for 10,000 years if I become an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. I’ll also need to do my best to fulfill three promises of Aeon World’s strongest expert at the time. Meng Chuan nodded slightly. This requirement is lower than Senior Fei Yu’s. If I can reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, this requirement isn’t too much. I’ll only need to do my best three times.

The Eighth Tribulation Eminence senior—who had inherited this legacy—had already died. It was already not bad for the strongest expert in Aeon World to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm.

Furthermore, he could reject requests. All he needed to do was help thrice.

Once I master Immeasurable Uniqueness, I have to unconditionally agree to Lord Sakuraba’s request thrice—other than not implicating my home universe or life—when I reach the Eighth Tribulation Realm. Meng Chuan was alarmed when he saw this requirement.

This legacy had detailed records that Lord Sakuraba was a Chaos Lord. Furthermore, he had completely comprehended the laws of time and space. Lord Sakuraba had reached the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm, and he was one of the few Eighth Tribulation Eminences among Chaos Lords.

Because of his Life Core, Lord Sakuraba had an extremely long lifespan. His lifespan was much longer than that of ordinary Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences. He was a famous existence outside the universe.

I have to unconditionally agree to a request three times? Meng Chuan shook his head slightly. This requirement was simply too much. If he really had a chance of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, the karma brought by learning this legacy might cause him great trouble in the future.

With so many manuals, it wasn’t like he had to learn Immeasurable Uniqueness.

…

Therefore, Meng Chuan focused on studying the other four manuals—Heavenly River, Sand of Time, Book of Truth, and Universe Evolution. He also referenced Essence Soul Star and Eternal Road.

These six Eighth Tribulation legacies became Meng Chuan’s cultivation resource.

The reason why it was easier for future generations to surpass their predecessors was that they stood on their predecessors’ shoulders. With the six Eighth Tribulation legacy manuals as a foundation, Meng Chuan naturally had a much deeper understanding regarding the formation of his Essence Soul formulation.

Heavenly River—Change and Eternal.

Sand of Time—time fritters away things, but it remains eternal.

Book of Truth—12 Truths.

Universe Evolution—the source of the universe; the creation, operation, decay, and destruction.

Essence Soul Star—indestructible in the face of infinite calamity.

Eternal Road—Sea of Spacetime forged into an Eternal Road.

In White Avian Hall, Thousand Mountain Star, Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, and Archean Eon Realm, Meng Chuan’s true bodies and avatars were immersed in cultivating the Essence Soul formulations.

After grasping an Origins law, one would’ve grasped the truth of the universe. They were qualified to create an Essence Soul formulation. Although the formulation they created would be slightly deviant because they had only grasped one Origins law, the Essence Soul formulation still had extremely long-lasting effects on the Essence Soul.

If one couldn’t create an Essence Soul formulation, their willpower would ultimately be limited.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness, his Essence Soul was the Chaos Hole Core. It had condensed into a sphere that could withstand infinite tribulations.

Water flowed externally while dark water swirled around the Chaos Hole’s core like a Chaos Hole domain.

This was a change in Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul structure with the Chaos Hole law as the core. It was an improvement on his original, embryonic Essence Soul formulation.

Such an Essence Soul could be called a Chaos Hole Essence Soul.

My Essence Soul formulation might be called Boulder and Water. Inside, it’s a Boulder—the Chaos Hole’s core is a Boulder. In the future, it might be a universe that is the Boulder. On the outside is Water. The changes in Water are endless, and it can deal with changes in the outside world. Even though the universe is vast, there are endless mysteries beyond the universe.

In the 25th year of researching an Essence Soul formulation, Meng Chuan had completely figured out an Essence Soul formulation built atop his original foundation. It was called Boulder and Water.

But Meng Chuan vaguely felt that something was amiss with it.

This formulation could indeed summarize his cultivation thoughts. He could also easily fuse the Chaos Hole law into it and form a Chaos Hole Essence Soul. He could even plan his path to the Eighth Tribulation realm.

But deep in his heart… he felt that this formulation wasn’t the most compatible with him.

This isn’t what’s most compatible with me? Then, what is most compatible with me?

Meng Chuan looked inwardly at the Essence Soul, which had already become much stronger. His willpower had also improved greatly. The Boulder and Water formulation was definitely in no way inferior to Seventh Tribulation Essence Soul formulations. However, he vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Meng Chuan pondered hard and carefully pondered over the six Eighth Tribulation legacies. He hoped that it would trigger something.

In the 34th year of his research into the Essence Soul formulation, Meng Chuan finally understood the problem.

Yes, Boulder and Water is more compatible with me, but what’s truly compatible with me… is another path. In Meng Chuan’s mind, his Chaos Hole Essence Soul had already begun to transform into a painting that slowly unfolded.
