Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 783 - 774: Rumors of the Immortal Palace
Chapter 783: Chapter 774: Rumors of the Immortal Palace
Surprise was not exclusive to Bai Jincheng and the others.
At this moment, even those who usually bore impassive faces, like Qin Yue and Ji Ziyao,
couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward Mo Wangchen, their eyes gleaming sharply.
"There’s no point in hiding it, I indeed have acquired it," Mo Wangchen nodded and smiled with certainty as he spoke.
"No wonder I felt that something seemed to have changed about you. You were only inside for half a day, and upon coming out, you seem like a completely different person."
Wu Lingfeng said so, earlier he had thought it was just his imagination, but now, in Mo Wangchen’s presence, he faintly sensed a kind of pressure.
This pressure was somewhat strange; it wasn’t a suppression of Cultivation level, but more akin to the bloodline pressure between Ancient Clans.
In Mo Wangchen’s presence, they felt a fundamental level of oppression, as if they were standing before a strong being of the Ancient King Level.
It was indeed puzzling considering Mo Wangchen’s Cultivation was only at the Emperor Realm, yet capable of giving them such an illusion.
Now, having heard Mo Wangchen’s words, they finally came to understand: all of this was because he had obtained Divine Status.
"What does Divine Status look like? I’ve never seen it before, can you show it to me so I can have a look?"
Bai Jincheng licked his lips, full of anticipation.
"Show it to you?"
Wu Lingfeng gave him a glance, "What do you think this is? Divine Status exists within the Spirit Sea, unlike the Law Phenomenon, it’s a thing that has fused a thread of the Heavenly Dao Will within it. Unless it is forcibly stripped away by someone, it cannot be externalized."
"You talk as if you know it all quite well," Bai Jincheng curled his lip.
Leng Ziming stepped forward and said, "Junior Brother Wu isn’t wrong, some of the ancient texts within the institute indeed have records about this matter."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Bai Jincheng was taken aback, his face showing a tinge of embarrassment.
"If you have nothing to do normally, you should flip through those ancient texts more, there’s no harm in it," Wu Lingfeng said with a smug expression on his face.
"Look how capable you’re acting," Bai Jincheng raised his middle finger, outright ignoring the other.
"The most crucial issue at hand is how to rescue Aotian, that’s the main matter."
After some commotion among the crowd, Mo Wangchen said so.
"Do you have any good strategies?" the leader Ren Qingcheng asked.
"Let’s first stick to the previous plan, have the people from Mo Pavilion harass the external territories of the Night God Clan and Demon God Clan to disperse some of their forces," Mo Wangchen said.
"While this method is not entirely useless, the most critical factor still lies in the Night God King and Demon God King. Thirteen, now that you have obtained Divine Status, do you have the power to take them down in an instant?" Bai Jincheng suddenly blurted out such a sentence.
Everyone was speechless, including Mo Wangchen, who gave Bai Jincheng a look, "Acquiring Divine Status doesn’t mean I have become much stronger, it only means that my Cultivation speed will be much faster than before, and I won’t encounter any limits when breaking through to the Ancient God Realm."
"Is that so..."
Bai Jincheng’s face froze once again, and he made another perplexingly speechless comment, "I thought that once you got the Divine Status, you’d be an Ancient God Realm strong person..."
"What on earth do you have inside your head?"
Wu Lingfeng simply couldn’t bear to watch any longer, "I told you to read more books when you have nothing to do, but you just wouldn’t listen. If outsiders heard what you said, it would be downright embarrassing."
"The Night God Clan and the Demon God Clan don’t really pose much of a problem. With Mo Pavilion and the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, we might be able to contend against them to some extent. The main issue is the two Ancient Kings. Even if the Saint Master takes action, I’m afraid it would be difficult to gain any advantage."
Ji Ziyao stepped forward. If Mo Wangchen was going to rescue someone from the hands of the Night God Clan and the Demon God Clan, the Immortal Sect of Inquiry would certainly not stand idly by.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again. The two Ancient Kings were nearly invincible in this era, and to rescue someone from their grasp was incredibly difficult.
"Before we act, I’d like to visit the Liuli Immortal Palace."
After a moment of contemplation, Mo Wangchen suddenly turned to Jiang Yuhang and spoke up.
"Visit the Liuli Immortal Palace?"
Jiang Yuhang couldn’t help but be stunned. In the past, she had invited Mo Wangchen to visit many times, but he had never paid any attention. So why the sudden interest now?
It wasn’t just Jiang Yuhang; Bai Jincheng and the others were also looking on with puzzled expressions, not understanding Mo Wangchen’s intentions.
Mo Wangchen continued, "I’ve heard that after the Liuli Saint Master passed away, he was buried at the bottom of Liuli Lake, which has since become a world unto its own. Over the years, there have been rumors that the Spirit of the Liuli Saint Master still lingers there."
"Indeed, there are such rumors..."
Jiang Yuhang frowned slightly, unsure of Mo Wangchen’s intentions in asking about the former Saint Master. In fact, she didn’t know much about the former Saint Master, and even as the Divine Girl, she had never entered the depths of Liuli Lake.
Whether the spirit of the former Saint Master truly remained there, she was unclear.
Even if it did, what did Mo Wangchen mean by this?
Was he intending to summon the former Saint Master’s lingering spirit to confront the two great Ancient Clans?
That seemed somewhat unrealistic. Let alone an outsider like him, even the current Liuli Saint Master might not be granted an audience by the former Saint Master, let alone his help against the two great Ancient Clans.
Moreover, whether the spirit truly existed was still unknown.
"If Brother Mo really wishes to go, I can inform the Sect in advance," Jiang Yuhang finally said.
Mo Wangchen nodded. "Then I’ll trouble you. In seven days, we’ll set out for the Liuli Immortal Palace."
"Bai Jincheng, just what do you intend to do at the Liuli Immortal Palace?" Bai Jincheng asked with a puzzled face, unable to contain his curiosity.
Before Mo Wangchen could respond, Wu Lingfeng interjected with an unkind sneer, "Go and read more books. Why ask so many questions?"
"Are you picking a fight with me today?" Bai Jincheng immediately bristled.
"So what if I am? If you don’t accept it, let’s have a battle of three hundred rounds!"
"Damn it, don’t think you’re so great just because you have a True Dragon Body. Let me show you how powerful the Great Success Longevity Scripture is."
Neither would yield to the other, and in an instant, they were soaring up into the sky, where a battle erupted.
After a ’ten-second’ long battle, Bai Jincheng was thoroughly subdued.
"Fight me fairly without getting up close!"
When the two landed back on the ground again, Bai Jincheng stubbornly retorted to Wu Lingfeng, clearly unhappy with the outcome.
"That’s enough,"
Mo Wangchen directly interrupted the farce, "With all this energy, you’d better spend your time cultivating and working on improving your Cultivation. That is the most crucial thing. For safety reasons, in seven days, it will be just Junior Sister Jiang and I who will make our way to the Liuli Immortal Palace; everyone else should stay in the Heavenly God Institute."
