Archean Eon Art

Chapter 346 Freely Choosing from the Treasure Vault

Meng Chuan transformed into a beam of light and flew through the air.

With such astonishing speed, time and space began to change. However, the entire world suppressed everything, maintaining the stability of spacetime.

This is the suppression of the world? Meng Chuan flew. Under such speed, invisible restraints wrapped around Meng Chuan like countless threads pulling him. However, he couldn’t sense any strength coming from it. This was the suppression of the laws of the world. In a world, one had to follow its laws.

No human Godfiend that cultivated the lightning lineage Flash Form of Lightning’s essence has broken through the shackles of the world. None of them have reached the Grotto-Heaven realm while taking this path. However, I want to give it a try. Meng Chuan was very calm. Anyway, I also cultivate the Infinite Saber and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.

He wasn’t stubborn about sticking to a path. He was more used to multifaceted preparations. Most of his attention was focused on the Infinite Saber because having greater speed could make him more useful during wartime.

From a painter’s point of view, Meng Chuan preferred the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. This movement technique was like a brush, and it used the world as its canvas.

Whoosh.

He swooped down from the sky and instantly burrowed underground. He advanced at high speeds underground.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The rocks and soil were easily parted. Meng Chuan flew extremely fast. Compared to the worldly laws’ suppression, the soil and rocks have less influence on my speed. Meng Chuan flew underground for a few seconds and was rather satisfied.

The worldly laws induced the world’s suppression upon Meng Chuan due to his terrifying speed that could affect time and space. Mud and rock were real objects. His Seamless domain could easily part the rocks and soil, so it only affected his speed slightly. He could still maintain 80% of his maximum speed underground.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan broke through the surface and saw the distant Jiang State Capital. He quickly streaked across the sky and returned to where he had sparred Li guan. The three Supremacies and Liu Qiyue were still waiting here.

“You sure are fast.” The illusory Qin Wu sighed in amazement. “You’ve just become a Regis Godfiend, yet you can travel 29 kilometers in a second. Compared to other Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Regis Godfiends in history, you’re much faster. They usually travel about 15 kilometers in a second.”

Luo Tang smiled. “Everybody takes a different path. Some of those Regis Godfiends cultivated the Heart Intent Saber, some cultivated the World Roving Dragon Saber, and some created their own ultimate techniques. Meng Chuan pursues speed to the extreme. This speed… Senior Brother Li, even if you use your Essence Soul to travel, it’s far inferior to Meng Chuan.”

Essence Souls didn’t have physical shackles. They usually traveled faster.

“Any Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Regis Godfiend is faster than me,” said Li Guan with a smile. “We don’t even need to discuss Meng Chuan.”

“I’m still far from it,” said Meng Chuan humbly.

Senior Ye Hong, who created the World Roving Dragon Saber, could instantly split into 81 embodiments within a 50-kilometer radius. Any one of them could become Ye Hong’s true body at any moment. In terms of traveling, they could teleport anywhere within 50 kilometers. In a flash, Senior Ye Hong could probably teleport through the void twice or even thrice—that was roughly 100-150 kilometers.

Senior Ye Hong did not pursue speed, but he far exceeded Meng Chuan. There was no need to mention Senior Guo Ke. His final saber move had reached the Imperial Lord level. One couldn’t even see his saber strike. His speed was much more terrifying than that of Senior Ye Hong.

Meng Chuan was indeed far inferior.

“You tried traveling underground, right?” asked Qin Wu. “How long will it take you to scan all of the Great Zhou Dynasty?”

“I’ve already swept more than half of it in the past few years,” said Meng Chuan. “I’ll be able to finish the sweep within a year. Even if I redo the sweep from the beginning, two years is enough.”

Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Li Guan were delighted when they heard that. This speed was certainly fast enough. “Liu Qiyue, go back and rest first.” Li Guan turned to look at Liu Qiyue. “Meng Chuan needs to make a trip to Archean Mountain. He will probably take a few months to return.”

An

“A few months?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were puzzled.

“Yes,” replied Liu Qiyue obediently.

Luo Tang and Qin Wu smiled before they dissipated. “Set off now,” instructed Li Guan. “Yes.” Although Meng Chuan was puzzled, he still transformed into a beam of light and headed straight for Archean Mountain. His Seamless domain naturally isolated all forms of reconnaissance. Even at close range, he couldn’t be seen.

…

That night, Meng Chuan arrived at Archean Mountain’s Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

“Follow us.” Li Guan, an illusory Qin Wu, and an illusory Luo Tang led Meng Chuan into an ordinary room in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion’s backyard.

They pushed open the door. It was a very ordinary room. There was a wall in the middle of the room. A painting of a black-robed man hung on the wall.

Li Guan walked in front while Qin Wu and Luo Tang followed beside Meng Chuan.

Whoosh.

Li Guan flew up as he walked towards the painting. He became smaller and smaller before finally flying into the painting like a speck of dust.

Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan also grew smaller as they approached the painting

How magical. Meng Chuan felt the changes in the void. He became smaller and smaller—to the point he couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. He entered the painting together with the three Supremacies.

The moment he entered the painting, Meng Chuan looked up.

At this moment, the black-robed man towered above them, affecting this region of spacetime.

“That’s Ancestral Master Archean Eon,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

Ancestral Master Archean Eon? Meng Chuan continued flying into the painting amidst his surprise.

After entering, he landed in a hall. A table and prayer mat could be seen in the hall.

“This is an important place of our Archean Mountain,” explained Qin Wu with a smile.

“Look.” Li Guan pointed upwards.

Meng Chuan looked up and saw eight fist-sized beads on the ceiling of the hall. They emitted different lights—white, black, green, golden…

“Ancestral Master Archean Eon refined nine Heaven Earth treasures. With any one of them, a person can release a Heaven Earth domain,” said Li Guan. “You should know about King Calm Sea’s Scarlet Cloud Heaven.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

King Calm Sea’s Scarlet Cloud Heaven was an extremely powerful domain treasure. It was extremely famous.

“Scarlet Cloud Heaven is one of the nine Heaven Earth treasures,” said Li Guan. “There are still eight left. Since ancient times, our Archean Mountain has been protecting them carefully. Although we occasionally bestow people with the Heaven Earth treasures, we will eventually take them back. We haven’t lost any of them.”

“Even if they’re lost temporarily,” said Qin Wu with a smile, “we can use our tracking means to determine their locations. If we can’t take them back immediately, we’ll take it back when Archean Mountain is invincible during an era.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

“One needs at least Seamless Quintessential Essence to activate these treasures. Once activated, Archean Mountain’s powers will descend and form a Heaven Earth domain to protect you,” said Li Guan. “Its weakness is that once it leaves the human world, it will be useless without our Archean Mountain’s augmentation.”

“Understood.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Supremacy, you said that the Heaven Earth Domain is an Imperial Lord’s domain?”

Marquis Godfiends had Darkstar domains. Regis Godfiends had Seamless domains. Creation Supremacies had Grotto-Heaven domains. Legend had it that Imperial Lords had Heaven Earth domains.

“This is an imitation.” Li Guan nodded. “It’s a treasure that imitates an Imperial Lord’s Heaven Earth domain. It’s impossible to replicate the might of an Imperial Lord’s domain fully. However, Ancestral Master Archean Eon abandoned other aspects and pursued defensive effects, allowing its defensive strength to be sufficiently powerful.”

Qin Wu nodded as well. “Even if Demon Sage Nine Abyss were to attack personally, he would only have 30 to 40 percent of his strength left after being weakened by Scarlet Cloud Heaven. If he were a peak fifth Firmament demon monarch, he wouldn’t be able to break the Scarlet Cloud Heaven’s domain.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

“All the treasures here are comparable to the Scarlet Cloud Heaven,” said Li Guan. “If you want to choose, choose the ones with a lightning affinity. Of course, we have prepared many treasures for you. You can choose any two.”

“I can choose any two?” Meng Chuan’s heart stirred.

“Come.” Li Guan walked to the table and pointed at the five books on it.

The first book had the words ‘Extraordinary Treasures’ on it.

“This book, Extraordinary Treasures, records many rare items.” Li Guan pointed at the second book. “The treasures recorded in this Origins Treasure book are similar to the Scarlet Cloud Heaven. All of them originated from Archean Mountain. They are extremely powerful in the human world, but useless when outside the human world.”

Meng Chuan could tell at a glance.

The third book had the word ‘Creation.’

“This book records weapons and treasures at the Creation level,” said Li Guan.

The fourth book was titled ‘Imperial Lord.’ “This book records Imperial Lord-level weapons and treasures. You are free to choose.”

The fifth book had the words Tribulation Realm’ written on it.

“This last book…” Li Guan looked at the thinnest book, Tribulation Realm. After some hesitation, he said, “It records the weapons and treasures of Tribulation Eminences.”
