Chapter 675: Grasping Space

On another layer of the Valley of Spacetime, there was a cave abode that spanned several kilometers in the dark void. Meng Chuan lived here in seclusion.

As Mountain Lord Moxie believed Meng Chuan to be a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence only, he wasn’t assigned to guard the area. Hence, it was naturally relaxing for Meng Chuan. More than ten years ago, Meng Chuan shocked everyone after defeating Black Fiend Hall’s Lord of Scarlet. He became much more famous among the experts in the River of Spacetime. But since no newcomers had come recently, the mission assignments didn’t change. Meng Chuan remained very relaxed in the Valley of Spacetime.

“Eastcalm, a new Void Trileaf Flower has been born. It’s your turn. Come over quickly.” A voice sounded in Meng Chuan’s ears.

“Yes, Mountain Lord.” Meng Chuan was overjoyed. He put away the cave abode and immediately rushed to Mountain Lord Moxie’s layer.

I never expected to obtain a Void Trileaf Flower in just over 200 years after coming to the Valley of Spacetime. It’s faster than I expected. Meng Chuan was rather excited. The growth time of Void Trileaf Flowers was irregular.

White Avian Hall occupied this area. It could produce three to five Void Trileaf Flowers in a century or as slow as having only one appear every two centuries. Previously, Cang Li and Feng Yu had obtained Void Trileaf Flowers one after another. This made Meng Chuan understand that this period was a time when the Void Trileaf Flowers were being born at a relatively fast pace.

Therefore, in order to accumulate more insights, Meng Chuan arranged for his avatars to cultivate in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, where time flowed ten times faster. Most of his Essence Soul’s Origins were gathered there to increase his cultivation efficiency.

If he didn’t make use of the ten-fold faster time flow, it would be too wasteful to use the Void Trileaf Flower if his insights into the spatial law were too shallow.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan arrived at Moxie’s cave abode. Lord Moxie stood there with six members of White Avian Hall standing beside him. They were only embodiments. All ordinary Supremacies could easily produce one embodiment. These Sixth Tribulation Eminences could also send their avatars here with the array formation set up by White Avian Hall. However, the embodiments were very weak.

“Mountain Lord.” Meng Chuan walked over and bowed.

“This is the Void Trileaf Flower. Quickly consume it,” said Moxie. “There’s no difference between consuming it with your body and consuming it with your Essence Soul avatar.”

With that said, a wooden box appeared in his hand. It flew toward Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan reached out and received it. He gently opened the wooden box and saw a Void Trileaf Flower inside. The three leaves were slightly transparent, but the flower was extremely gorgeous. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The flower petals were filled with a beauty that made Meng Chuan’s heart tremble. They contained the beauty of the extreme void.

“Congratulations, Eastcalm.”

“Congratulations, Brother Eastcalm.”

“Congratulations, Brother Eastcalm.”

The six embodiments smiled and congratulated him. Although they were somewhat envious, they remained calm. After all, they had only arrived at the Valley of Spacetime slightly later than Meng Chuan. If the Trileaf Void Flower grew quickly, they might have their turn in a few decades. Otherwise, it would take 1,000 years at most.

“Use it immediately,” urged Moxie. He was here to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen.

“Alright.”

With a thought, the Power of Essence Soul enveloped the Void Trileaf Flower.

The moment he did so, Meng Chuan sensed his Essence Soul’s instinctive desire. Following this desire, he sucked in a little. The Void Trileaf Flower quickly transformed into a resplendent beam of light that was absorbed by Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar.

“This…” Meng Chuan felt that his Essence Soul avatar immediately changed after absorbing the Void Trileaf Flower’s power. The lepton structure changed naturally.

Just like a seedling that had experienced a drought for a long time, it began to grow after obtaining sweet dew—the power contained within the Void Trileaf Flower was the sweet dew. The changes in Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar’s lepton structure couldn’t be hidden from Meng Chuan—who had grasped the lepton law.

The changes in the Essence Soul structure can increase one’s control over space by so much? Meng Chuan knew very well how magical the changes in the lepton structure were.

Everything—be they flowing water, soil, or Eighth Tribulation treasures—were built from leptons. Different structures naturally had different wonders.

For example, one of the Origins laws—the Matter law—was the study of the matter leptons’ composition. If he could comprehend the changes brought about by the Void Trileaf Flower, he wouldn’t be far from comprehending a complete spatial law.

Meng Chuan clearly didn’t want to waste time studying the lepton structures. He wanted to make the best use of his time to study the spatial law!

“Every bit of Void Trileaf Flower energy expended is one bit less,” said Moxie. “Treasure these few years well. You can cultivate on this layer of spacetime that I’m guarding. The Valley of Spacetime is also more suitable for studying the spatial law.” With that said, he turned and walked into the cave abode.

“Thank you, Mountain Lord.” Meng Chuan bowed slightly. At the same time, he looked at the six figures around him and said, “Everyone, I’ll be entering seclusion for now.”

“Brother Eastcalm, don’t worry about us.”

“Brother Eastcalm’s cultivation is more important.”

The six said.

Meng Chuan nodded. With a single step, he traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers. He brought out a cave abode and flew into the cave abode before sitting cross-legged in the courtyard.

My control over space? Meng Chuan felt that everything in the vast void around him could be controlled by him. At that moment, the vast spatial law became much clearer. Before he headed to Holy Mountain of Painting, Meng Chuan had already grasped the spatial law’s three tenets. Furthermore, he had the Void Catalog’s guidance. He had been studying at Holy Mountain of Painting, Ice River Nebula, and the Nine Trials Pagoda’s rotary valve…

Together with his cultivation at Clear Spring Island and the Great Seal Eternal treasure, it could be said that his insights into the spatial law had reached an astonishing level. He felt that he was very close to breaking through, but he was always just a tiny step away.

At this moment, his control over space rapidly increased, allowing Meng Chuan to grasp the spatial law’s true essence vaguely.

It’s that essence. Meng Chuan suppressed his joy and immediately used this essence to fuse his insights into the spatial law.

…

Six figures stood there and looked in the direction of Meng Chuan’s cave abode.

Boom!

In the sky above Meng Chuan’s cave abode, the void distorted and formed a huge bubble. It was a bubble that was half a million kilometers in size, but its interior space spanned five billion kilometers.

The void bubble was born and destroyed.

Right on the heels of that, the cave abode Meng Chuan was in became dark and unfathomable. He entered a hidden layer of space, and it became darker and darker until he completely disappeared. After a long time, it slowly appeared and became clearer.

“This City Lord Eastcalm is really recklessly using the Void Trileaf Flower’s strength,” said the cyan-clothed woman with a chuckle. “Mountain Lord already reminded him that the Void Trileaf Flower’s energy would deplete with every use. If he uses it sparingly, it can last for several years. For him to use it so wantonly, it will be used up in less than a year.”

“Brother Eastcalm’s talent is rather high. As a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence, he has grasped two Sixth Tribulation laws,” said a sword-bearing man with a smile. “However, he’s still too eager. The best way to use the Void Trileaf Flower should be to study the spatial law and completely grasp the spatial law’s three tenets. He should only use it when his foundation is solid enough.”

How can it be easy to comprehend the spatial law’s three tenets? I’ve studied them for tens of thousands of years, but I’ve only grasped Void Domain and Void Control. Therefore, I need to use the Void Trileaf Flower to break through and build the final foundation.

“Brother Yu, you have been studying the spatial law for tens of thousands of years. Brother Eastcalm has only reached the Sixth Tribulation realm recently, so he’s a little rash to use the Void Trileaf Flower now. It’s best if one’s cultivation enters a bottleneck before they seek the use of the Trileaf Flower.”

“That’s right. The Void Trileaf Flower should be used at critical moments.”

The six chatted. The six of them were all top Sixth Tribulation Eminences. They thought highly of themselves and felt that City Lord Eastcalm’s actions were unwise.

After chatting for a while, the six embodiments dispersed.

…

Many spatial phenomena appeared around Meng Chuan’s cave abode.

Three days after consuming the Void Trileaf Flower.

“Hahaha.” Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the cave abode’s courtyard. He looked up at the dark void and laughed softly. “Wonderful, truly wonderful.”

Cultivation was truly mesmerizing when one completely grasped the law.

He had completely understood the profundities of the vast spatial law.
