Chapter 597: 597

The sixth year after Meng Chuan and company stepped onto their respective paths .

How should I cultivate? What’s right? What’s wrong? Meng Hu stood on the second path and looked up . He could see the crystal path leading into the endless fog . He couldn’t see its end at all . At that moment, Meng Hu’s eyes were filled with confusion .

In the past five years, I’ve possessed nearly 10,000 Sixth Tribulation Eminences .

I reflect on myself every day . I leave behind all the paths that suit the Heavenly Dream Divine General and abandon the rest of my memories . In fact, the further I go, the more I have to wipe away my memories . In the past five years, I’ve wiped away my memories thousands of times . However, I remain lost .

I-I… don’t know how I should cultivate next . Meng Hu stood on the path, his mind filled with hesitation . He had many insights, but they clashed with each other .

Meng Hu had indeed gained a lot when he first began walking down this path . He had even successfully comprehended a third Fifth Tribulation law . However, when he wanted to form a Sixth Tribulation law with the three Fifth Tribulation laws, the numerous insights he obtained from his possessions began conflicting with each other . This was despite him wiping away the memories that he felt weren’t right repeatedly… Memory changes one’s understanding . Every time I gain insights through possession, what I know will change . Even if I wipe my memories, choosing to wipe my memories is a choice I made after my understanding changed . Time and time again, my understanding of things is changed before I wipe away my memories .

It gets more and more chaotic .

Meng Hu looked around . He could see Old Fiend Black Wind-who was much slower than him-and Meng Chuan, who was even further away . Meng Chuan walked even slower on the third path .

I knew the danger of losing myself . I believed that I could obtain benefits and ward off danger, but I still ended up lost . Meng Hu knew his situation very well . He could draw on a blank piece of paper very clearly . However, when countless strokes of different styles landed, his ‘understanding’ as an artist would already be in a mess, even if they were eliminated repeatedly . His ‘understanding’ was no longer clear . “Is this the furthest my cultivation realm can go?” Meng Hu muttered . He was a Heavenly Dream Divine General of Heavenly Dream Realm . He had the potential to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm . How could he swallow the fact that he was lost?

It’s time to return . Meng Hu looked up at the black mountain that extended deep into the clouds . Following that, his body and Essence Soul completely disintegrated without a sound .

His true body had died .

At the same time, in a mysterious and vast inhabited world-Heavenly Dream Realm .

It’s really like a dream . Meng Hu walked out of his cave abode . His cave abode was built on a five-kilometer-wide leaf . The clouds around him were clear . The leaf where his cave abode was located was a leaf of a towering tree .

I’ll go look for Master, thought Meng Hu . I can only seek Master’s help to resolve my present problems .

As a high-level world, Heavenly Dream Realm had an extremely rich heritage . It was much better than that of Archean Eon Realm . The difference between Archean Eon Realm and Heavenly Dream Realm was the difference between the Seventh Tribulation realm and the Eighth Tribulation realm .

Every Eighth Tribulation Eminence had unimaginable abilities . The laws in the River of Spacetime would severely limit the traces they left behind . Any item they refined was enough to make a Sixth Tribulation Eminence go crazy . They could easily obtain Primordial Stones from Primordial Stars, and the prices for them were extremely high . If an Eighth Tribulation Eminence was born in a particular era, the entire River of Spacetime would tremble . Even Seventh Tribulation Eminences wanted to follow them .

The heritage in an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s homeworld was unimaginable .

Meng Hu could only hope that his homeworld

– Heavenly Dream Realm-could help him . Otherwise, he would be stuck with his present achievements forever .

Meng Hu destroyed his true body? Black Wind, who was also on the second path, couldn’t help but be taken aback when he saw Meng Hu completely turn to dust . It also chilled his heart .

He chose the same path as me . Why did he destroy his true body? Did he discover the hidden dangers of this path? Black Wind felt somewhat uneasy . The way he traveled the second path was different from Meng Hu .

From the very beginning, he realized that the Eminences he possessed would constantly overlap with each other . He was extremely cautious as he chose to study six of them . He chose to abandon everything else . Even if he possessed them, he wouldn’t choose to gain any insights .

He only studied six of the Sixth Tribulation Eminences! Furthermore, these six were mainly of the Wind attribute .

In the past five years, the number of times Old Fiend Black Wind possessed his six selected Eminences went from as little as 200 to more than 1,000 times . There were clearly only about 10,000 Sixth Tribulation Eminences available for possession on the second path . They would overlap repeatedly . Each possession was of a different period in the Eminences’ lifetimes . There were differences in their insights .

After five years, Black Wind felt that the second path was pretty good . Although I didn’t study many Sixth Tribulation Eminences, they suit me very well . I think I’m close to mastering a third law . Although it feels good, I still have to be careful . After all, Meng Hu has already destroyed his true body .

Black Wind was greedy for the opportunities here, but he also became even more cautious . He was afraid that Meng Hu had discovered some unknown danger . However, Black Wind was unwilling to leave before discovering the danger .

It would be difficult for him to obtain such an opportunity again if he missed it .

It’s been eight years . Fu Sui walked the fastest; he was also the one with the smoothest cultivation . He constantly maintained a state of epiphany .

In eight years, he had already traveled more than 15,000 kilometers .

Although I’ve traveled 15,000 kilometers, this path is really long . I still can’t see the end . Fu Sui was already in the clouds . He could barely see what was 50 kilometers above him with his naked eye . This path constantly extended upwards .

I can sense that I’m getting closer and closer to the Sixth Tribulation realm . In a few years, I will definitely master a Sixth Tribulation law . Fu Sui’s heart was filled with zeal as he advanced step by step .

Meng Chuan walked the slowest . As the mental pressure increased, it affected his other avatars’ cultivation elsewhere . Meng Chuan naturally slowed down . He still had to make sure he still had 30% of his mental strength for his other avatars .

“New… rising…”

This was the tenth year of Meng Chuan’s journey on the third path . He had only walked over 1,500 kilometers .

He could now hear a majestic voice coming from the top of the mountain . However, after traveling a long distance, the sound was affected by all sorts of invisible interference . What he heard remained intermittent . However, he could clearly hear single words . Every word was like a hammer striking Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul and mind . Meng Chuan was already used to it .

He could clearly sense the impact each word had on his Essence Soul and mind . Having resisted it for long periods, he gradually figured out the best way to resist it . In this confrontation, Meng Chuan could sense that his willpower had become stronger .

This strengthening process was very slow . Typically, one wouldn’t obtain anything in a year or so . Furthermore, the pressure would become stronger as they advanced on the path . It was like a nightmare . However, after repeated trial and error for about five years in this nightmare, one’s mind and willpower would undergo a qualitative change . They would then find it much easier to resist the pressure .

After nearly ten years on this path, my willpower has clearly improved three times . Meng Chuan was very happy . The first improvement was in the second year after he stepped onto the path . The second improvement was in the fifth year . The third improvement just happened the tenth year .

Cultivation was the process of perfecting oneself over and over again after setbacks, allowing one to attain perfection . It was the same for one’s mental cultivation . When one withstood mental attacks, they could discover their mental flaws . The more perfect their mental tempering, the stronger their mind would become .

Only with a strong mind could one withstand an even larger Essence Soul World in the future .
