Chapter 570: Starlord Scarlet Snake

“Join Eternal Tower?” Black Wind couldn’t help but persuade him. “Brother Eastcalm, think about it carefully. Don’t make rash decisions.”

“I think Brother Eastcalm has made a wise decision,” said Ta Gu with a smile.

“Although Eternal Tower is powerful, everything has a clear price,” said Black Wind. “Shadow Lands is different. It will give plenty of help to new members. Furthermore, our Shadow Lands is stronger than Eternal Tower in Goddess River Zone.”

Meng Chuan shook his head and smiled. “Thank you, Brother Black Wind. There’s no need to persuade me further.”

Black Wind could only stop.

Shadow Lands was more active in recruiting new members. The more strength and potential the recruited members had, the greater the contributions the referrer would receive.

“Do we need to go to Eternal Tower’s headquarters in Goddess River Zone to join Eternal Tower?” asked Meng Chuan.

“Yes.” Ta Gu nodded. “I’ll accompany you.”

“Brother Black Wind, we’ll take our leave first.”

“Black Wind, we’ll take our leave.”

Meng Chuan and Ta Gu were in a good mood. After bidding Old Fiend Black Wind farewell, they quickly rushed to the Goddess River Zone’s Eternal Tower headquarters through the River of Spacetime.

Old Fiend Black Wind warmly sent the two away before he paused and pondered for a moment. Finally, he left.

…

I never expected to encounter Meng Chuan. Palace Lord Snowjade—who was traveling through the River of Spacetime—thought, When I fought him, I discovered the flaws in my mind and will. This can be considered a reward. I have to improve my willpower when I return. It will be my number one priority!

Snowjade’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

He was considered quite talented amongst his peers at the Fifth Tribulation realm. He had only cultivated for 20,000 years, yet had grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. He had a low chance of reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm.

…

Black Wind was from Yufang River System, so he was the first to return to his lair.

Black wind blew over the dark planet.

After throwing his subordinates out of the Grotto-Heaven with a flip of his sleeve, Black Wind returned to his palace alone.

Snowjade and Eastcalm are stronger than me. Black Wind sat on his throne as he recalled the events that happened during his expedition into the cave abode. With my cultivation speed, I have to rely on external objects to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm. I’ll sell intelligence on them first.

Black Wind thought to himself, I can also exchange it for some contribution points.

With a flip of his hand, a black jade token appeared in his hand. Silver light swirled on the jade token. Through the jade token, he could contact the Shadow Lands headquarters in Goddess River Zone.

Shadow Lands already has ordinary intelligence on the other Cang Alliance members?

They already have intelligence on Ta Gu?

Palace Lord Snowjade’s strength has increased. The intelligence on him can be sold for 30 contribution points. Intelligence on Eastcalm can be sold for 200 contribution points? Not bad.

Black Wind was rather satisfied.

Since he had been cultivating as a weakling to this day, he was used to seizing every opportunity to accumulate resources.

Selling intelligence?

To him, it was just a small matter. It was not like they forbade him from spreading the information!

The members of Cang Alliance communicated with each other internally. Typically, they wouldn’t spread the information to others. This was only an unspoken rule with no clear agreement. After all, they were just simple pieces of information. He couldn’t sell the information at a high price. Furthermore, only the first person to sell it could earn something. Once the various major organizations knew the intelligence, nobody else could profit from it unless they had new intelligence.

Meng Chuan’s physical body and Essence Soul were both at the Fifth Tribulation realm. Furthermore, he had grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws (the two laws had simple introductions). He earned 200 contribution points only because it was the first sale! Of course, if he had information on how Meng Chuan had only cultivated for more than 1,000 years, the value of the intelligence would have increased ten-fold! However, at Meng Chuan’s realm, it was difficult for other experts to see how many years he had experienced.

…

Meng Chuan and Ta Gu traveled through the River of Spacetime.

Although they were both Fifth Tribulation Eminences and could enter a similar depth in the River of Spacetime, the difference in their speeds was about ten-fold.

“Brother Eastcalm, you sure are fast. I’m afraid you are close to the Sixth Tribulation realm,” said Ta Gu in amazement.

“Haha, that’s all there is to it. When it comes to traveling, it’s very rare to find a Fifth Tribulation Eminence faster than me,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. His domain carried Ta Gu as they traveled. Letting Ta Gu travel the River of Spacetime alone was too slow. Carrying him in tow was much faster.

“With your help, we should be able to reach Scarlet Snake Planet in a few hours,” said Ta Gu.

Scarlet Snake Planet was Eternal Tower’s headquarters (river zone-level headquarters) in Goddess River Zone.

Many river systems had Eternal Tower branches.

There would be one river zone-level headquarters in each river zone.

Eternal Tower also had a headquarters in the River of Spacetime. However, it was too distant and mysterious. Ordinary members (Fifth Tribulation Eminences) didn’t have the right to head there.

“The person presiding over Scarlet Snake Planet is Starlord Scarlet Snake,” said Ta Gu seriously. “Although there are many river systems in the entire Goddess River Zone, there are only a total of eight Sixth Tribulation Eminences, including those who cultivate in seclusion. Among them, only Starlord Scarlet Snake joined Eternal Tower. However, in terms of strength, Starlord Scarlet Snake should be one of the best in the entire Goddess River Zone.”

“Oh? One of the best in Goddess River Zone?” As a newly-advanced Fifth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan had no idea how powerful the current experts of Goddess River Zone were. After joining Eternal Tower, he had to make up for his lack of knowledge and gather such intelligence slowly.

“That’s right.” Ta Gu nodded. “It’s been over 90,000 years since Starlord Scarlet Snake began cultivating! Apart from being a manager of Eternal Tower, it’s also the current clan leader of a special lifeform, the scarlet snakes. In the River of Spacetime, all the scarlet snakes deem it supreme.”

Meng Chuan was somewhat surprised.

Scarlet snakes were rather powerful special lifeforms. Adult scarlet snakes were comparable to Third Tribulation Eminences. It was a race that was comparable to Dark Peacocks and other races.

The supreme leader of the entire race?

However, it was normal. The dragons were considered one of the most prosperous species amongst the special lifeforms. Even then, they only had 12 Sixth Tribulation Eminences in this era. The scarlet snakes were way inferior to the dragons. It was already not bad for them to have a Sixth Tribulation Eminence presiding over them.

…

The two chatted as they traveled. Half a day later, they arrived at Scarlet Snake Planet.

“What a huge planet.” Meng Chuan stared at the massive star and couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

This planet was five million kilometers in diameter. Apart from Grand Yang Stars and Grand Yin Stars, it was rather rare for a planet to be five million kilometers wide.

At a glance, the entire planet was a dark-red. Dust plumes rose indiscernibly. In the dust fog, one could vaguely see fiery-red serpents. Large serpents swam all over the planet.

In the outside world, it was very difficult to find scarlet snakes. However, there were many of them here! This was the scarlet snakes’ largest lair in the River of Spacetime. Starlord Scarlet Snake personally guarded it.

“Scarlet snakes are born in the outer realm. They don’t have a homeworld.” Ta Gu sent a voice transmission. “Therefore, Starlord Scarlet Snake places greater importance on safety in this lair. This is to protect his true body and the entire species. Thus, Starlord Scarlet Snake spared no expense to forge the entire Scarlet Serpent Planet into an impregnable fortress!”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

He still had one true body hiding in his homeworld, but a special lifeform didn’t have such benefits. One could imagine how important the safety of one’s lair was.

A river zone-level Eternal Tower headquarters already places great importance on safety. Furthermore, it’s the main lair of the scarlet snakes. Meng Chuan looked at the planet and sighed in amazement. I’m afraid that those below the Seventh Tribulation realm won’t be able to threaten Scarlet Snake Planet.

“Let’s enter,” said Ta Gu. “When entering Scarlet Snake Planet, head straight to the main city. Don’t stay outside.”

The two swooped down together.

Scarlet Snake Planet was enveloped by layers of array formations. Normally, Meng Chuan and Ta Gu could only enter the city. It was very difficult for them to head anywhere outside the city.

Swoosh.

Just as Meng Chuan and Ta Gu arrived in the sky above Scarlet Snake Planet, a red-robed figure welcomed them.

“Brother Ta Gu?” A tall, handsome, red-robed, bald man flew over. He smiled at Meng Chuan.n “This must be Eastcalm.”

“This is Chi Jiuxin.” Ta Gu introduced Meng Chuan to the bald man. “He’s usually in charge of many matters in Goddess River Zone’s Eternal Tower headquarters. Only the most important matters will be handled by the Starlord personally.”

“Greetings, Brother Chi Jiuxin,” said Meng Chuan politely.

“Ta Gu has long informed headquarters about your matter. I’ve also sent the news to the Eternal Tower headquarters in the River of Spacetime,” said Chi Jiuxin with a smile. “The headquarters in the River of Spacetime has already sent a reply; they’ve agreed to let you join Eternal Tower. Therefore, we’ll go through the procedures later.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

“Should we pay a visit to Starlord?” asked Ta Gu.

“There’s no need,” said Chi Jiuxin with a smile. “Patriarch has been in seclusion for a long time. He wants to break through to the Seventh Tribulation realm before his demise. Let’s not disturb him.”

Meng Chuan and Ta Gu nodded.

A Sixth Tribulation Eminence only had an average lifespan of 80-90,000 years.

Due to being a special lifeform and his chosen cultivation path, Starlord Scarlet Snake had a relatively longer lifespan. However, time was still very tight. All the scarlet snakes hoped that their patriarch could reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. Meng Chuan’s arrival wasn’t worth distracting Starlord Scarlet Snake.

“Let’s go to Eternal Tower.” Chi Jiuxin led Meng Chuan and Ta Gu towards the tallest nine-story building in the city.
