It had been 280 years since Meng Chuan came to Holy Mountain of Painting.

Meng Chuan looked at the painting on the huge canvas and shook his head slightly. He waved his hand and wiped the painting away before sighing.

He stood up and waved his hand to put away the drawing board, brush, and other items. Meng Chuan walked out of the chamber, took a step forward, flew toward Holy Mountain of Painting, and approached the mountain wall.

As he flew, Meng Chuan looked at the huge paintings up close. I feel like Ive accumulated enough insights, but I still cant figure out the spatial law. Meng Chuan was rather vexed. He had long grasped the spatial laws three tenets. He had studied the six paintings of the Chaos Hole law on Holy Mountain of Painting countless times. He had even tried painting the other paintings. He often felt that he had gained new insights, but the many insights he had gained couldnt result in qualitative changes. He was unable to figure out a complete spatial law.

It felt very close, but also extremely distant. This feeling of being stuck at a bottleneck was very uncomfortable.

Its like seeing the moons reflection in the water. I can see it but not touch it, muttered Meng Chuan softly. Its time to go to the next cultivation ground.

Among the nine cultivation grounds in his plan, Holy Mountain of Painting was second. Perhaps a new cultivation ground could help

him.

Whoosh.

After landing, he waved his hand and put away his cave abode. Following that, Meng Chuan flew toward Evodia mystic realms exit. City Lord Eastcalm, are you leaving already? Master Poison Eye-who had refined Evodia mystic realm and was in charge of guarding it -appeared beside him.

My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Its time to leave, said Meng Chuan.

As an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence, you have many Essence Soul avatars. It might be better to leave an Essence Soul avatar here to observe and study, said Poison Eye with a smile.

Theres no need. Meng Chuan shook his head. Ill come again.

He decided to stop looking at the paintings temporarily. He would study them when his insights deepened. After all, according to his plan, he had to focus on cultivation in every corner of the nine cultivation grounds.

Senior Poison Eye, farewell. Meng Chuan glanced at the master. Poison Eye could be considered the most ruthless person to fight Black Fiend Hall among the current Sixth Tribulation Eminences. With his peak Sixth Tribulation strength and Essence Soul avatars means, he made Black Fiend Hall suffer a huge loss.

Ine

Black Fiend Hall also attempted to exact revenge numerous times, causing Poison Eye to suffer many injuries that were not easily treatable. It was said that his lifespan had been greatly reduced because of this. After grasping the lepton law, Meng Chuans senses became a lot sharper. He vaguely felt that Poison Eye wasnt too far from the end of his lifespan. Although Sixth Tribulation Eminences had their homeworlds protection-making it very difficult for them to die few in the outer realm dared to oppose Black Fiend Hall. Meng Chuan was filled with admiration for Master Poison Eyes deeds.

Poison Eye smiled and nodded as he watched Meng Chuan leave.

Holy Mountain of Painting.

Master Poison Eye turned to look at the distant mountain. Typically, one could be considered a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence if they grasped two Sixth Tribulation laws. Master Poison Eye had long grasped three Sixth Tribulation laws. I dont have much time left. I have to grasp an Origin law and transform my Essence Soul World before I can expel the forces in me. However, grasping an Origin law is too difficult. Poison Eye sighed gently and took a step back to his tiny cave abode to continue cultivating. He had already been to the cultivation grounds he could go to. He had also tried the opportunities available to him. It was even harder for him to improve after cultivating for so long.

Ice River Nebula was third in the nine cultivation grounds that Meng Chuan had chosen. Meng Chuan crossed one river system after another, traveling faster than he usually did in the River of Spacetime. Meng Chuan appeared in a dark void and looked at the resplendent nebula in the distance.

Ice River Nebula. Meng Chuan looked over.

This was a rather vast nebula. The nebula was gorgeous and beautiful. With Meng Chuans means, he could vaguely see a river in the nebulas depths, but he couldnt see it clearly.

I heard that Ice River Nebula is where a mysterious Eighth Tribulation Eminences cave abode is. Meng Chuan knew that this place was very special.

Some special places in the River of Spacetime were occupied by various factions. For example, studying Holy Mountain of Painting required 10,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals as the entry fee.

However, some places werent occupied. For example, no one dared to monopolize Fiend Mountain. But the various factions limited the spread of information because the danger was too great. For example, no one wanted to monopolize Ice River Nebula because it was unnecessary. Ice River Nebula is very special. Once one enters the nebula, they will be lost. They wont be able to walk out of it, nor will they be able to reach the Ice River. Only by grasping a spatial law will they be unaffected by the nebula. They can step into the Ice River, but they still wont be able to step into the palace located in the Ice River. Its said that one has to grasp the laws of time and space before they can step into the palace.

Ill give it a try. With a thought, Meng Chuan immediately produced an Essence Soul avatar.

He didnt plan on coming out alive upon entry. Hence, he naturally sent an Essence Soul avatar that didnt carry any treasures.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuans outer realm true body watched from afar. The black-robed, white-haired Essence Soul avatar flew into the vast nebula.

Without any obstruction, Meng Chuan easily flew into the nebula.

How beautiful. Meng Chuan flew in the nebula.

Swoosh!

Without any warning, Meng Chuan was teleported from the nebulas periphery to the nebulas depths.

This nebula has teleported me here? Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished as he attempted to continue flying. After flying for a while, the transformed nebula void allowed Meng Chuan to appear hundreds of billions of kilometers away.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish

Meng Chuan kept flying towards the core, but he appeared in different locations at random. He couldnt control himself at all. After flying for more than an hour, his position in the nebula was still changing constantly.

Ill try to approach the ice river.

The closer one was to the ice river, the greater the voids influence. Therefore, the closer one was to the ice river, the higher ones attainments in the void would be. This was especially so for the area 5,000 kilometers around the ice river. The voids influence was especially terrifying.

Ill give it a try. Disperse.

Meng Chuan split into a lepton cluster.

The lepton cluster spread out. With his strength, he could easily maintain his consciousness even when the lepton cluster spread to a range of half a trillion kilometers.

But this time, a portion of the lepton cluster was teleported away the moment it spread out, causing the lepton clusters original structure to be destroyed.

Pfft.

The lepton cluster portion that had been teleported far away dissipated immediately due to what little they had.

The lepton cluster that remained immediately fused together and condensed into the black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan.

A small piece of my Essence Soul avatar was sliced off? Meng Chuan blinked. With his Essence Souls recovery speed, he naturally recovered instantly. The lepton law is useless here. I still have to rely on the spatial law to gain insights. Meng Chuan released his Essence Soul World and spread it out to envelop his surroundings. He could clearly sense the changes in the void. Meng Chuan had long grasped the three tenets of the spatial law. After painting for so many years, he had a clearer understanding of the spatial law, so Meng Chuan vaguely discovered some patterns from the nebula voids changes.

Whoosh.

With a single step, Meng Chuan advanced greatly. Another step

Although there were occasional mistakes, Meng Chuan arrived within 1,500 kilometers from the ice river in ten minutes.

Being able to come within 1,500 kilometers means that my insights into the spatial law isnt bad. Meng Chuan smiled and carefully observed the ice river. He could clearly see the ice river from 1,500 kilometers away. This was a river that stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers with no end in sight.

The river water was light green.

Above the water were floating icebergs. The smaller icebergs were about dozens of kilometers tall, while the taller ones were over 500 kilometers tall. Icebergs slowly floated in the river, never stopping.

Meng Chuan could see corpses inside the thin floating icebergs.

According to Eternal Towers intelligence, theres an ice river in the nebulas depths. There are ice mountains on the ice river, and theres a corpse in every ice mountain. Meng Chuan calmly observed and carefully stared into the distance. Legend has it that there is a palace deep in the ice river.
