Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 750 - 741 Pretending to be Strangers

"Today’s assessment, those who pass, will all ascend to become disciples of our Heavenly God Institute."

Under the gaze of the entire audience, Elder Tianxin spoke again. His eyes surveyed the crowd and after a moment’s solemnity, he swept his sleeve toward the void.

"Buzz!"

The ground beneath the platform trembled slightly, and then, an incredibly high Heavenly Ladder sprang from the ground, extending up and finally piercing into the clouds.

"Lingyun Heavenly Ladder!"

"Is today’s assessment the same as the one a few months ago, both involving climbing this ladder?" many people frowned in question.

"It seems a bit different; the previous assessment featured a Lingyun Heavenly Ladder with nine hundred steps, but now, it seems not to be that high," someone quickly noticed something.

"The assessment, indeed, still involves climbing the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder, but it’s much simpler today comparatively."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Elder Tianxin spoke lightly, "This ladder has only six hundred steps. Today, those who reach the top will qualify to join our Heavenly God Institute."

"Only six hundred steps?"

At this revelation, the crowd showed surprise; compared to the assessment a few months ago, this six hundred-step Lingyun Heavenly Ladder was indeed lacking three hundred steps.

The difficulty of reaching the top was naturally much reduced.

However, the criteria for entry remained the same—only by reaching the top could one obtain it. Six hundred steps was neither high nor particularly low.

Very few, it was feared, could actually achieve six hundred steps.

"Indeed, it’s much simpler. It seems today, passing the assessment shouldn’t be a problem for us," Jiang Yuhang, Wu Lingfeng, and the others in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Remember, during the previous assessment, the Lingyun Heavenly Ladder had nine hundred levels, yet they still made it to the top. What difficulty could today’s six hundred steps present?

"Maybe not necessarily. The Lingyun Heavenly Ladder has its unique challenges each step of the way. Though three hundred layers have been removed, who knows if the pressure from the ladder has been increased," Ye Fan remarked.

Chu Feng also furrowed his brows slightly, "It’s unlikely that the pressure has increased. The main issue is, we were only able to reach the top previously because Brother Mo provided us with Divine Spring Water..."

At these words, Jiang Yuhang and the others immediately frowned as well.

Indeed, as Chu Feng had said, if it hadn’t been for the Divine Spring Water provided by Mo Wangchen, their ascent to the pinnacle would have been impossible.

Now, with the Divine Spring Water already used up, climbing to six hundred steps with their own strength was indeed challenging.

"Heh, it’s just Divine Spring Water. If you want it, I can give you some more."

While they were discussing, a light laughter suddenly came from the direction beside them; Mo Wangchen had unexpectedly arrived.

Their faces all registered surprise, and they turned to look. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Brother Mo!"

"Pavilion Master!"

Jiang Yuhang, Chen Daoran, and the others called out.

"Buzz!"

Mo Wangchen flicked his fingers, and with each flick, Holy Light was ejected from his fingertips. Jade Bottles containing Divine Spring Water appeared before Chen Daoran, Jiang Yuhang, and the others.

"Haha, with this Divine Spring Water, reaching the top today won’t be difficult. Brother Mo’s generosity won’t be forgotten; if there’s ever trouble in the future, just say the word, and I’ll be there without hesitation!" Ye Fan laughed heartily.

"What good would it do to find you if it’s trouble even Brother Mo can’t resolve?" Jiang Yuhang chuckled. Despite his words, he still politely thanked Mo Wangchen.

"In the past, my Divine King Body was opposed by the world, yet none of you distanced yourselves from me. Compared to that, what’s a little Divine Spring Water?"

Mo Wangchen smiled. This was what moved him the most; back in the Flower Fairy Palace during the Proving Emperor, Anomalies of ancient times manifested, and since then, his Divine King Body was opposed by all. However, Jiang Yuhang and the others had never harbored any animosity towards him.

Even the powers behind them had once declared they would support him; how could Mo Wangchen forget?

"This Divine Spring Water..."

"Do you want it?"

After speaking, Mo Wangchen turned his eyes toward two women standing not far from Jiang Yuhang and the others.

Qin Yue and Ji Ziyao!

Both could once have been considered Mo Wangchen’s confidantes.

However, at this moment, one had cut ties with her past and the other had severed her Dao; they had become strangers to him.

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Qin Yue slightly knit her brows. She didn’t speak but ultimately shook her head.

Indeed, Qin Yue wasn’t just like this toward Mo Wangchen; she also bore an indifferent expression when facing Wu Lingfeng, Jiang Yuhang, and the others.

To sever her past was not just a phrase; at this moment, Qin Yue was truly a person devoid of sentiment and affection.

For anyone, including her master, the Flower Fairy Saint Master, Qin Yue maintained this cold demeanor.

It was certain that after proving herself as an Emperor, Qin Yue would no longer harbor familial love, romantic love, or even a master-disciple connection!

Seeing her shaking her head, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "So cold..."

As his words fell, he turned his gaze again, finally landing on Ji Ziyao. "What about you?"

Ji Ziyao furrowed her brows, her gaze meeting Mo Wangchen’s. Their eyes locked as if time had briefly paused.

"Do you recognize me?" she suddenly asked, causing Mo Wangchen’s face to register shock.

But he quickly understood; after Ji Ziyao had cut her Dao, her memories had vanished. She didn’t recognize him, and likely remembered nothing from before.

Perhaps the Baiyue Saint Master and others had never spoken to her about his existence, let alone disclosed the relationship he had once had with Ziyao.

Not only was it not beneficial to tell her, but it could also negatively affect her cultivation of Dao Heart!

Not just Mo Wangchen, Wu Lingfeng, and the others all froze, but they did not speak. They exchanged glances, maintaining their silence.

Ji Ziyao, naturally aware that the man who stood before her at the Ancient God Tower the previous day had been Mo Wangchen, found his gaze peculiarr.

She couldn’t help but wonder—had she known this man in white before?

If so, what was their relationship?

"Let’s assume we’ve never known each other..."

Ultimately, Mo Wangchen took a deep breath and spoke. Having a Nine Revolutions Body, this life was presumably Ziyao’s last reincarnation.

She should have forever lain on the ice bed of the Liyuan Tomb, never to awake again. Now, having cut her Dao for Nirvana Rebirth and returned to the world, Mo Wangchen naturally didn’t want to disturb her any further.

Otherwise, if it affected her Dao Heart and the effects of the Nine Revolutions Body recurred, it would not be a blessing.
