Archean Eon Art

Chapter 485 Sudden Change in Cultivation

Snow fluttered everywhere as an ordinary-looking carriage advanced. The carriage driver was a muscular man.

In fact, this carriage driver was a demon servant with strength close to a fourth Firmament demon monarch. When Meng Chuan had been wiping out the demons in the world, he had captured a large number of powerful demon servants.

“Giddy-up!” The carriage traveled through the snow.

Yang Yuan sat within the carriage. He looked out through the window, but he had other thoughts on his mind.

I’ll be participating in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination in a month. Yang Yuan pondered. Which Godfiend body formulation should I choose? He wasn’t worried about not passing the assessment.

Ever since the demons’ large-scale invasion decades ago, many Godfiends were sent out to patrol various regions in the vast world. Archean Mountain had also greatly increased their recruitment quota-recruiting 50 disciples every year instead of the original 20. They increased their recruitment quota because the next 100 to 200 years were the war’s most critical period. With the treasures and rare items obtained from the World Gap, the three major sects were able to sustain the expenditures of these new disciples for 100 to 200 years. With 50 available spots, Yang Yuan was naturally confident of being admitted into Archean Mountain. He even had hopes of achieving first place in the entrance examination.

Achieving first place is just so I don’t disappoint my family. It’s not that important. My main concern is which transcendent-grade Godfiend body I should choose. Yang Yuan carefully pondered his choice. What has aided me most in my cultivation? It’s grandfather’s guidance! Grandfather is unspokenly the strongest Godfiend in the world after cultivating for only 100 years. His future achievements will be even greater. Therefore, my best choice is to choose the same cultivation path as my grandfather—the lightning lineage. It’ll be easier for Grandpa to guide me if I cultivate the lightning lineage. If I choose another path, Grandpa’s insights towards it might not be deep or profound enough. There are only two transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies of the lightning lineage. One is the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, and the other is the Eon Sea Fiend Body.

I naturally want to aim for a perfected Godfiend Body. The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body... its requirements for one’s willpower are terrifying. I don’t think I can achieve the perfected Nine Refinements, even if I’m given a few centuries. Although Yang Yuan was hard on himself, he was still used to enjoying a comfortable life. Therefore, the Eon Sea Fiend Body-which has a lower cultivation difficulty-suits me better.

Eon Sea Fiend Body, lightning lineage sword art. It’s settled then. Yang Yuan decided on his future path. Although he could cozy up to other famous figures, he realized that he had benefited greatly from his grandfather’s guidance. Yang Yuan often felt enlightened whenever Meng Chuan gave him some guidance.

What he didn’t know was that his uncle—King Feather Dragon, Meng An-was much inferior when it came to guiding disciples compared to Meng Chuan. After all, Meng An’s cultivation path was arranged by Ancestral Master Archean Eon.

The carriage entered Meng Manor. Soon, Yang Yuan headed to Lake Heart Pavilion alone.

At a glance, he saw the white-haired Meng Chuan sitting cross-legged in the open space in front of Lake Heart Pavilion. His surroundings seemed slightly distorted

Swoosh.

When Yang Yuan walke Pavilion, he noticed the changed time flow.

What’s going on? He was astonished when he discovered a bizarre phenomenon. As he walked past different places, he could see the snowflakes in the distance falling at different speeds. At some places, the snowflakes would fall at normal speed. In other places, the snowflakes would fall much slower than usual; some even stopped falling completely. All the snowflakes and rippling water seemed to have come to a standstill.

Yang Yuan was shocked.

Time had been distorted. Different regions had different time dilations.

Suddenly,

Everything-including the distorted spacetime — returned to normal. Countless snowflakes floated in the air. The white-haired Meng Chuan opened his eyes and stood up. The Bloodblades flew into his palm and vanished.

“Grandpa.” Yang Yuan walked to Lake Heart Pavilion and bowed respectfully. “Yang Yuan, I’ll give you two hours of guidance today.” Meng Chuan looked at his grandson and said, “I’ll give you pointers again in half a month. After that, go to Archean Mountain and cultivate well.”

“Yes, Grandpa.” Yang Yuan was extremely respectful.

“Show me your swordplay,” instructed Meng Chuan.

Yang Yuan immediately began demonstrating his swordplay.

Meng Chuan had recently taught him his sword technique–Three Sword Art. Three Sword Art consisted of three moves—Wave Splitting Sword, Yin-Yang Sword, and Flowing Light Sword. These were Infinite Saber’s three basic lightning lineage forms.

Yang Yuan had to execute each of these three moves 5,000 times a day! This was Meng Chuan’s request for Yang Yuan.

“Flowing Light Sword.” Yang Yuan instantly struck out with his sword. Like a bolt of lightning, it streaked across the sky.

“Yin-Yang Sword.” His body followed the sword beam, instantly leaving multiple afterimages as he moved. “Wave Splitting Sword.” A sword shadow flashed.

Meng Chuan watched from the side.

Yang Yuan stopped and looked at Meng Chuan. “Continue practicing. Practice the same way you always do at home,” instructed Meng Chuan. “Don’t stop unless I tell you to.”

“Yes.” Yang Yuan continued demonstrating his sword art. As he demonstrated the sword art, he followed the same move order: Flowing Light Sword, Yin-Yang Sword, and Wave Splitting Sword.

“Stop.” After executing the three moves 100 times, Meng Chuan shouted for Yang Yuan to stop.

“I taught you Three Sword Art half a month ago. Tell me, what do you think about the sword art?” asked Meng Chuan.

Yang Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Grandfather, do the three sword moves have to be demonstrated in the exact order of Flowing Light Sword, Yin-Yang Sword, and Wave Splitting Sword? Furthermore, the more I cultivate, the more I can draw upon the moves’ intents. Flowing Light Sword can be used in many other ways. Wave Splitting Sword can also be executed as a sword drawing technique.”

Meng Chuan smiled. “Yes, you’re right.”

Yang Yuan’s eyes lit up. He felt good about himself after being praised by his grandfather.

“However, before you have comprehended Sword Dao, follow the three sword moves I’ve given you,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “You are not allowed to modify them. Practice each move 5,000 times a day. You have to persevere.”

“I’m not allowed to change them before comprehending Sword Dao?” Yang Yuan was overjoyed.

He could tell that cultivating just this seemingly basic Three Sword Art was enough for him to reach the Realm of Dao.

Unbeknownst to him, Meng Chuan had combined these three forms-Flash Form of Lightning, Yin-Yang Form of Lightning, and Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning—to create his paramount technique, Infinite Saber.

The way he had fused these three forms could be said to be the most ingenious in human history! He had specially created the three sword moves for Yang Yuan. At Meng Chuan’s level, there wasn’t much difference between saber techniques and sword techniques. An intent could be infused into a saber art. The very same intent could also be infused into a movement technique. It could also be infused into the Bloodblade Disc.

In fact, Meng Chuan even planned on simplifying his Infinite Saber so that his juniors could learn it. After simplifying it, it would just be a weaker Black Metal Sutra ultimate technique.

...

“I’ve taught you enough today.” Meng Chuan looked at Yang Yuan, who was in a sorry state. He smiled and said, “I’ll demonstrate Three Sword Art again. Each sword move will be executed very slowly. Sense the intent carefully.”

“Yes.” Yang Yuan stared at Meng Chuan intently.

Meng Chuan extended his right hand and condensed a Quintessential Essence sword.

“Flowing Light Sword.” Meng Chuan’s seemingly slow strike was actually very slow, but it caused the void to distort. Ripples appeared as the strike pierced through many void layers.

“Yin-Yang Sword.” Meng Chuan followed the sword beam as it swam through the void like a fish. He moved through the void, changing directions multiple times. Many afterimages appeared around him before he returned to his original spot.

“Wave Splitting Sword.” Meng Chuan’s sword parted the void in the same way water parted. The sword beam sliced through the void and struck Starmoon Lake’s surface, which was more than half a kilometer away. The sword’s tip touched the surface, but in the next second, it had already retracted.

“Think over the three sword moves carefully. Go back and continue practicing,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

He had also demonstrated these three moves previously. Back then, he placed greater importance on the three moves’ accuracy. After half a month of cultivation, Yang Yuan’s moves were considered accurate enough.

This time, Meng Chuan placed greater importance on intent during the demonstration.

“Yes, Grandpa.” Yang Yuan was extremely excited. He bowed respectfully before leaving. His mind was filled with scenes of his grandfather demonstrating the three moves to him. The intent within the three saber moves completely shocked him.

Meng Chuan was still very willing to teach his grandson. His son, Meng An, was already walking the path that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had arranged for him. Thus, he had nothing to teach him. His daughter, Meng You, was already a Marquis Godfiend. Her cultivation path was different from his, so he could only give her limited guidance. As for his grandson, Yang Yuan, he appeared to like the lightning lineage.

Meng Chuan’s days in Jiang State Capital were very peaceful. He only gave Yang Yuan pointers once every half-month. He spent the rest of his time cultivating and consolidating his paramount technique, Infinite Saber.

In the blink of an eye, it was 19th December.

In a chamber in Lake Heart Pavilion.

I’ve already recultivated my Magic Awl. Once I purify my Quintessential Essence, I’ll head to the World Gap. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged and immersed his consciousness into his dantian space.

In the dantian space.

The Source of the Seamless Realm was a purple-brown sphere that was smaller than normal particles. Blazing-white patterns covered its surface. Wisps of white light shot out from the sphere’s two poles, forming a Seamless Wave domain.

Cultivation in the Seamless realm was to make the Source of the Seamless Realm smaller. The smaller it was, the purer and stronger one’s Quintessential Essence became. When the Source of the Seamless Realm contained a large amount of energy, it would cause the sphere to shrink. The smaller the sphere was, the more robust one’s foundation would be.

With a more robust foundation, one’s future grotto-heaven would be larger than the average.

My dantian space has long expanded to its limits. Now that I have a seventh-level Essence Soul and created a paramount technique, Infinite Saber, I’ll definitely be able to forge a more robust foundation. With these two things aiding me, I’ll be able to cultivate my Source of the Seamless Realm to an unprecedented level for human Godfiends. As Meng Chuan thought this, his Essence Soul seeped into his Source of the Seamless Realm.

A seventh-level Essence Soul was extremely powerful. It granted him much better control over the sphere. As Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul controlled the purple-brown sphere, it slowly shrank due to the suppression. The sphere constantly absorbed external energy as it shrank, causing its density to increase. His Quintessential Essence became purer. At the same time, Infinite Saber’s laws began to replace the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique’s. Infinite Saber’s laws now governed the purple-brown sphere. After the sphere’s governing laws changed

Boom!

The purple-brown sphere now rotated according to the new laws. As it rotated, the sphere suddenly collapsed and turned into a black hole.
