Archean Eon Art

Chapter 378 Heart Sea Palace and Battle God Pagoda

“I’ve already said that there’s no need for a test for the Star Cluster Building,” said the Guardian Deity with a smile. “However, the other two buildings require a test.”

“Test?” Meng Chuan fell into deep thought. The Guardian pointed at the pagoda on the right. “The tower on the right is called the Battle God Pagoda. It was left behind in the sect by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. The opponents in the tower are formed from array formations, so Essence Soul mystic techniques are useless. The Battle God Pagoda tests one’s technique realm and combat intelligence. It has nine levels. If one can pass seven levels, it means that one’s combat skills are invincible in the Creation realm. If one can pass nine levels, their combat skills can be said to be the strongest at the Creation realm in the River of Spacetime. Even if one is stuck at the peak of the Creation realm, they can still kill an Imperial Lord by relying on their techniques.”

“Invincible at the Creation realm after clearing the seventh level?” Meng Chuan was astonished.

The ninth level could be said to be the strongest Creation realm expert in the River of Spacetime? Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s identity made this claim quite believable.

“The Battle God Pagoda has existed in the Archean Eon Sect for 550,000 years, and it has existed since our Eon Sea Sect was founded,” said the Guardian. “The pagoda will determine one’s potential according to the strength and age of every Godfiend that challenges the tower. As long as your potential is ranked in the top five, you will pass the test.”

“Top five?” Meng Chuan was shocked.

“That’s right.” The Guardian smiled at Meng Chuan. “Let me remind you. Ancestral Master Archean has attempted the Battle God Pagoda many times. His potential is ranked third. Ancestral Master Eon Sea is ranked seventh.”

“You want me to enter the top five?” Meng Chuan couldn’t help but ask.

“If you are willing to join the Eon Sea Sect, there’s naturally no need for a test. You can obtain all sorts of benefits,” said the Guardian. “However, you are an outsider, yet you want to take away the benefits of our Eon Sea Sect? The requirements are naturally very high. You only have one chance to challenge the Battle God Pagoda. The higher your potential is, the higher the reward you will receive.”

Meng Chuan didn’t say anything as he pointed at the palace in the middle. “What about this one?”

“This is the Heart Sea Palace,” said the Guardian. “There are many Essence Soul mystic techniques hidden in it. Ancestral Master Archean Eon was a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Although he wasn’t adept at cultivating the Essence Soul, he had collected quite a number of Essence Soul mystic techniques. They are hidden in the Heart Sea Palace.”

Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.

He was even more puzzled…

What was Ancestral Master Archean thinking? Back then, he had the advantage. Yet, he had even given up the Heart Sea Palace—which contained various Essence Soul mystic techniques—the Star Cluster Building, which contained many powerful techniques, as well as the Battle God Pagoda that could hone one’s combat prowess.

Of course, according to the words of the Guardian, this was only a small portion left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. Most of them were still at Archean Mountain. However, these were also very important to Archean Mountain.

“To enter the Heart Sea Palace, your Essence Soul and willpower will be tested,” said the Guardian. “According to your age, Essence Soul, and willpower, you will be ranked. If you enter the top five in the historical records of the Heart Sea Palace, you can read the Essence Soul mystic techniques inside.”

The Guardian smiled at Meng Chuan. “By the way, let me remind you. Ancestral Master Archean is ranked ninth in the history of the Heart Sea Palace. Ancestral Master Eon Sea’s historical ranking is 17th. Two of the top five are Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences! The other three were extremely talented at Essence Soul cultivation.”

“Your requirements are too high.” Meng Chuan couldn’t help but say, “Ancestral Master Archean and Ancestral Master Eon Sea weren’t even capable of meeting the requirements of such a difficult test.”

“Our Eon Sea Sect only needs you to help us find a successor.” The Guardian pointed at the Star Cluster Building. “Any one of the manuals in the Star Cluster Building is enough to drive the world crazy. You can read them as long as you help us find three disciples that has reached the Realm of Force before turning 16. The requirements are considered low.”

At this level, they were not peerless geniuses. However, they usually ranked in the top three of Archean Mountain’s entrance examination. They would be good seedlings. “As for the Battle God Pagoda’s test and the Heart Sea Palace’s test, as long as you pass them, you will be a Dao Protector of our Eon Sea Sect,” said the Guardian with a smile. “There are many benefits to becoming a Dao Protector.”

“If you pass the two tests…” The Guardian looked at Meng Chuan. “Even if you don’t switch allegiance to the Eon Sea Sect, everything in the sect can be handed to you. The only request is that you ensure that the Eon Sea Sect’s lineage doesn’t cease in the future.”

“What I said is the decision of the 119th sect master of the Eon Sea Sect. It was also approved by the seven subsequent sect masters. The 126th sect master of the Eon Sea Sect was the last. He only had the strength of a Marquis Godfiend,” said the Guardian with a sigh. “After that, no disciples managed to hold the position of sect master. The Eon Sea Sect ended its lineage. I’ve waited for more than 500,000 years in this vast sea.”

Hearing this, Meng Chuan fell silent.

The decline of a sect…

Some of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacies left Meng Chuan sighing. “The sea is vast. Back then, in order to avoid the detection of other sects, the Eon Sea Sect hid in an extremely remote area in the sea,” said the Guardian. “In the vast sea, it’s rare for Godfiends to come here. As for Regis Godfiends… you are the only one in the past hundreds of thousands of years.”

“I’m the only one?” Meng Chuan quickly understood that if he hadn’t needed to search for demon monarchs in order to kill them, the Guardian would have to wait even longer.

This place was too remote. Humans liked to live on land. Who liked to live in the sea?

There were very few Regis Godfiends in every generation. Occasionally, they would go overseas for some leisure. To enter deep down into the sea and arrive at such a remote place coincidentally? The probability was too low.“After passing two tests, everything in the Eon Sea Sect will be given to me. I can also pass it to Archean Mountain?” asked Meng Chuan.

The Guardian nodded and said, “I’ve said it very clearly. Everything will be left to you-as long as you ensure that the Eon Sea Sect’s lineage continues in the future.”

The Eon Sea Sect’s Guardian knew the situation very well. As long as one passed any test and entered the historical top five, they would have the potential of becoming an Imperial Lord! No matter how weak they were, they would be at the peak of the Creation realm. The Eon Sea Sect would be happy if such a person became the Dao Protector.

If he passed two tests?

The high potential of one’s technique realm and Essence Soul… When complementing each other, one had a limitless future. The person would have the potential to become a Tribulation Eminence. They would almost definitely become an Imperial Lord. Such a figure—who had obtained benefits from the Eon Sea Sect-would not want to owe the Eon Sea Sect anything, even if it was for their own cultivation. The Eon Sea Sect had declined to such a state, so it was willing to hand over everything to such a figure.

“Top five in the Battle God Pagoda and the Heart Sea Palace’s potential rankings. Is there such a person in human history?” asked Meng Chuan.

“I’m not sure for the past hundreds of thousands of years, but there hasn’t been any in history.” The Guardian shook his head. “The closest one is Imperial Lord An Yang. His Essence Soul potential ranked second, and he is sixth on the Battle God Pagoda’s rankings.”

“If there hasn’t been such a person in history, why are you making such a demand?” Meng Chuan couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t your Eon Sea Sect’s requirement too high?” “After all, the entirety of the Eon Sea Sect will be handed to you. Everything will be up to you to decide. Therefore, the requirements are naturally very high,” said the Guardian. “Everything the Eon Sea Sect has accumulated is much more precious than that Bloodblade Disc of yours. If it’s not someone with unprecedented talent, they are not qualified to receive the Eon Sea Sect in its entirety.”
