Chapter 638: 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 .
