Chapter 517 Shadow
Black Dragon Planet.
The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan walked through the city and looked at the buildings with familiarity. Black Dragon City was still as prosperous as before. Many cultivators from Heaven Peak River System gathered here, closing a large number of transactions every day.
It’s been 32 years since I came to Black Dragon Planet. Although 32 years seemed short, he spent most of his time cultivating in Myriad Flower Realm. He had actually been cultivating for much longer than 32 years due to the time dilation.
Because of Myriad Flower Realm, I’ve actually been on Black Dragon Planet for more than 310 years. Meng Chuan sighed. He had cultivated in his homeworld for over a century and had been cultivating on Black Dragon Planet since he came to the outer realm. If he hadn’t obtained Senior Pang Ming’s treasures, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate on Black Dragon Planet so freely.
On Black Dragon Planet, he had the best cultivation conditions. In the past few years, he had participated in many Treasure Auctions and visited many merchants. He also bought treasures once again. Firstly, he wanted to increase his strength. Secondly, it was for his cultivation.
In terms of strength and treasures, he was in a better state than when he first came to Black Dragon Planet. Even his mental state had changed greatly. After cultivating alone for more than 300 years, Meng Chuan experienced the magical power of time. As time passed, he became more patient. He wasn’t arrogant or rash. Creating an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique is really difficult. Meng Chuan frowned slightly. He had cultivated for more than 310 years on Black Dragon Planet. In fact, during the 39th year of cultivation, his paramount technique, Infinite Saber, had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm’s late stage. During the 83rd year of cultivation, Infinite Saber had reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm. It had reached the limits of a Supremacy-level paramount technique. In terms of profundity and strength, it was only slightly inferior to ordinary techniques at the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
With just Infinite Saber, Meng Chuan could unleash the strength of a late-stage Imperial Lord. With the special characteristics his body had gained after devouring the Primordial Stone, he could fight a perfected Imperial Lord. It was naturally easy for him to kill ordinary Imperial
Lords.
This was also the combat strength of the vast outer realm’s strongest Supremacies.
However, his Infinite Saber had encountered a bottleneck.
During the 205th year of cultivation, Meng Chuan had created one Imperial Lord-level move for his Infinite Saber. After executing it, he realized that this move was only several times stronger than his perfected Grotto-Heaven realm Infinite Saber Art.
He quickly realized that this saber move didn’t have the strength of an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. He knew that it would only be an ultimate technique as strong as Lightning Fire Body Tempering Art and Dark Lightning. It was different from a true Imperial Lord-level paramount technique.
Thus, Meng Chuan gave up on cultivating that direction.
Up until now…
Meng Chuan had deduced three different directions his Infinite Saber Art could improve in. These three different directions resulted in three saber moves. The strongest saber move was only 80% stronger than his Infinite Saber, which was at the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm.
A Supremacy-level paramount technique has to change qualitatively if it is to become an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. If one is to say that a Supremacy-level paramount technique is slightly inferior to an ordinary perfected Heaven Earth realm ultimate technique, then an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique should grant one strength far greater than a perfected Imperial Lord. Upon creation, it should enable one to fight a Tribulation Eminence.
Meng Chuan knew this very well. Once one reaches the perfected Imperial Lord realm, they will have the strength of a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. They would be comparable to an adult pure-blooded dragon or phoenix.
Thus far, his saber moves had far inferior strength to what an actual Imperial Lord-level paramount technique should have.
Meng Chuan found creating an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique very difficult.
It’s just too difficult. Every single future path I’ve deduced for Infinite Saber is very outstanding and perfect in my opinion, but the saber moves are only 80% stronger. That means that these paths are clearly not the right one.
Meng Chuan couldn’t accurately determine if his saber moves were paramount techniques or not with his present knowledge, but their strength couldn’t be faked! His created saber moves simply weren’t enough to match a Tribulation Eminence, so they definitely weren’t Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques.
The creators of Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques were much rarer than pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes. Meng Chuan knew that this path would be very difficult. However, he had patience.
Even if a demon sage World Entrance between the Demon Realm and Archean Eon Realm forms, I still have confidence in guarding it. With my Infinite Saber and Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, I have the confidence to deal with all the demon sages combined.
His Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had improved greatly over the years.
