Nine Tribulations Planet was very famous, but no one knew who its creator was. Was it an Eighth Tribulation Eminence from their universe? Or was it a foreign Eighth Tribulation Eminence who had traveled here and had been inspired to produce the painting?

Everything was possible.

With Meng Chuan’s realm, he could determine the nine paintings’ order just by looking at them. By using the Eternal mystic technique—the six-stroke runic seal—he could see the changes in the nine paintings from afar.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan landed on the first painting. It was also the first painting drawn by the mysterious Eighth Tribulation Eminence on Nine Tribulations Planet.

This painting was composed of five large lakes, four swamps, a large plain, and rivers that connected between them. This painting was the most ordinary of the nine paintings. When Meng Chuan landed on the plain, baneful aura immediately surged toward him.

Whoosh!

Three thousand tiny Dark Chaos Holes floated around Meng Chuan; they only protected him for 500 kilometers. They only defended and didn’t attack, allowing the baneful aura to strike at them.

If one falls into the Nine Tribulations Painting, they will be attacked. However, this is ultimately a baneful aura that’s triggered by the painting. It’s not deliberately set up by the Eighth Tribulation Eminence; it’s not very powerful. Even a newly-advanced ordinary Seventh Tribulation Eminence can withstand the first five paintings. A top Seventh Tribulation Eminence can also walk through all nine paintings.

This is the crux of the first painting. Meng Chuan studied it for an hour. His Essence Soul avatar—which was far away on Dry Origin Mountain—had instead been studying it for more than a day.

After comprehending the first painting completely, he took a step and walked to the crux of the painting. This seemed like an ordinary region, but the baneful aura’s influence had weakened to a negligible level for up to a kilometer.

The second painting. Meng Chuan flew toward the second painting.

…

Meng Chuan stayed in the first painting for an hour. He stayed in the second painting for six hours.

Meng Chuan stayed in the sixth painting for a month and a half.

Meng Chuan stayed in the seventh painting for three years.

Meng Chuan had stayed in the eighth painting for ten years. Considering the 33-fold faster time flow on Dry Origin Mountain, Meng Chuan had truly spent an astonishing amount of time.

Boom!

Dark waves surged in the vast ocean as the baneful aura shook the world.

The ocean and over 3,000 islands formed the terrifying eighth painting. Just the baneful aura contained in the eighth painting required a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence to resist it with all their might.

What a powerful spear art. In Meng Chuan’s eyes, the ocean and islands were in the form of a spear.

The spear danced as the universe trembled.

Time for the ninth painting. Meng Chuan had stayed here for ten years. After gaining some insights, he couldn’t help but walk toward the ninth painting.

The ninth painting was the highest mountain range on Nine Tribulations Planet.

The towering mountain controlled everything in the river and land. When Meng Chuan walked in, he felt the pressure the ninth painting exerted on him. However, the baneful aura was scattered and unsystematic. The threat it posed was greatly reduced; it was far inferior to the eighth painting’s might.

A pity. Meng Chuan was very disappointed. He shook his head gently. That Eighth Tribulation Eminence wanted to create a spear art of a higher realm. He wanted to attempt creating a spear art at the ninth Heavenly Tribulation realm, but he clearly has flaws. It’s inferior to the eighth painting. The first eight paintings are a complete set of spear arts, while the ninth painting is flawed.

Although Meng Chuan could use Painting Dao mystic techniques to supplement his cultivation with regards to textual legacies, it would still be very difficult for him to cultivate them. But if the creator fused their insights into a painting, it would be easier for Meng Chuan to understand it.

He was more sensitive to paintings.

Meng Chuan had only roughly comprehended the spear art contained in Nine Tribulations Planet’s first eight paintings after staying there for more than ten years. He settled down in Nine Tribulations Planet for 30 years before he truly comprehended a complete ultimate technique.

What an amazing spear art. It’s the most domineering and strongest ultimate technique I’ve ever seen. Meng Chuan already had a complete set of spear arts in his mind. He had completely extracted the spear art from the painting, but he still couldn’t completely comprehend some of the moves. After all, he was only a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

It’s no wonder he dared to attempt to create a spear art at the Ninth Tribulation realm. This Eighth Tribulation Eminence… might not be far from Dragon Ancestor. Meng Chuan had seen Dragon Ancestor and other existences create universes. He had also comprehended the complete spear art from the nine paintings. Therefore, he could roughly determine the level of this mysterious Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s strength. At the same time, he guessed that the creator of Nine Tribulations Planet’s paintings wasn’t from his universe.

This was because the strongest person in his universe was Dragon Ancestor. Next were Fiend Mountain’s owner and the others. None of them were famous for their spear arts.

Although I’m an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, I can fuse the spear arts into my Essence Soul World and the array formation. Meng Chuan was rather delighted. He never expected to learn the strongest mystic technique he knew to date from Nine Tribulations Planet. Although the Eternal mystic technique—six-stroke runic seal—was the most valuable, it was a supplementary formulation and not used for combat.

Meng Chuan determined that this spear art was nearly comparable to Dragon Ancestor’s universe creation. After all, he had learned many Eighth Tribulation mystic techniques over the years, but none of them could match this spear art.

…

After staying on Nine Tribulations Planet for 43 years, Meng Chuan headed to the ruins left behind by other Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

Sword Refinement Cave—which contained thousands of swords—Nightmare Planet, which could trap Seventh Tribulation Eminences, and the strange Black Mountain Cave Abode on a black mountain that floated in the void… Most of the ruins left behind by Eighth Tribulation Eminences weren’t dangerous to the current Meng Chuan.

He roamed around and studied the traces left behind by Eighth Tribulation Eminences. Although he didn’t comprehend a powerful ultimate technique like the Nine Tribulations Spear Art, he gained many scattered insights.

Meng Chuan traveled across his home universe for over 100 years, covering all the Eighth Tribulation Eminences’ ruins.

After all, there were too few ruins; there were only a few dozen of them. Meng Chuan spent the most time at the painting ruin—Nine Tribulations Planet. He spent much less time elsewhere.

As Dry Origin Mountain’s time flow was 33 times faster than his home universe, Meng Chuan’s century of traveling actually resulted in him cultivating for more than 3,000 years. A significant portion of the time was spent at Nine Tribulations Planet.

I’ve gone to all the Eighth Tribulation ruins that I can find in my home universe. Meng Chuan stood above a huge handprint and recalled his travels over the years. He had been following the Eighth Tribulation Eminences’ footprints, and these different footprints… ultimately had something in common—the spacetime law.

Meng Chuan’s understanding of the temporal law became clearer.

Without focusing on how to fuse them, just the large number of scattered insights made his overall understanding gradually become clearer.

Meng Chuan understood that he would probably be able to completely grasp the temporal law in 10,000 to 20,000 years if he continued accumulating insights, even if he didn’t experience any additional stimulus.

Although Hall Lord White Avian had reached the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm in less than 30,000 years, he should perform better after obtaining an Eternal opportunity.

But Meng Chuan also understood a principle—cultivation was not a competition.

He couldn’t rush it! More haste, less speed!

Oh right. Meng Chuan recalled another Eighth Tribulation ruin—Fiend Mountain!

I’ve been studying the temporal law all these years. I haven’t been to Fiend Mountain in a long time. I wonder if I can reach the peak. I wonder what’s on Fiend Mountain’s peak? With this in mind, Meng Chuan took a step toward Fiend Mountain.
