Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 1827 - 1818: Holy Tower
"What realm is her cultivation at now?" Mo Wangchen asked once more.
Li Rao pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I don’t know precisely, but she successfully broke through to the Reverse Life Realm years ago. She should be at least at the third tier of the Reverse Life Realm by now, or even higher."
Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen nodded.
Back when he first met Mo Qianxue in the Chaotic God Tomb, she was already a Divine Realm Great Mahayana expert, far more powerful than himself.
Now, having reached the Reverse Life Realm himself, he could only imagine that with Mo Qianxue’s talent and Daozhen’s direct guidance, her strength couldn’t possibly be inferior to his.
"Do you know where she is now?" Mo Wangchen asked again.
Li Rao shook his head, "I, along with Flower Fairy and others, entered the Divine Domain on the same Starry Sky Ancient Ship, but after entering, we were all randomly transported to various locations. The Divine Domain is vast, and until now, I haven’t met another person from the Daozhen Realm, just some geniuses from the Chaos Universe."
"How many Chaos Universe people are in this Holy City now?" Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but ask.
"As far as I know, there should be over a hundred, at least on the surface. There might be more lurking in secret. On my way to this Holy City, I met some people from the Chaos Universe. They said they had seen the Southern Immortal in this Holy City."
"Xu Qingqiu, the Immortal Spirit Body?" Mo Wangchen squinted his eyes upon hearing this.
The Southern Immortal was one of the few top-tier talents standing at the peak of the Chaos Universe, famous alongside East Emperor Jun Lingtian, West Saint Fanxin, and Northern Emperor Yao Xincheng.
It’s rumored that before Mo Wangchen truly made a name for himself in the Ten Thousand Realms, Xu Qingqiu’s Immortal Spirit Body was once hailed as the strongest physique in the ancient Chaos Universe.
Mo Wangchen had wanted to meet such a person for a long time, but the Star Child Battle started abruptly, and after the battle with the East Emperor at Xianlai Peak, he found himself in the Divine Domain.
He didn’t expect that now, in this Holy City, there might be a chance to encounter Xu Qingqiu.
"The Southern Immortal has always acted discreetly. Even in this Holy City, he hides his presence and doesn’t contend with the four major forces. Otherwise, with his strength, he could surely claim a place."
Li Rao sighed, "The Chaos Universe may rank lowest among the Nine Great Universes, but that’s only in overall power. Individual top-tier talents, like Northern Emperor, Southern Immortal, and others, aren’t any less talented than those from other universes."
If Xu Qingqiu could rally people in this Holy City and claim some territory, the Chaos Universe people would face less disdain in this city. At least I wouldn’t have encountered that incident in the Black Workshop today.
"You’ve defeated the East Emperor and become famous across the Chaos Ten Thousand Realms. If you dare to challenge the four major forces in this Holy City, settling here wouldn’t be difficult. This would also offer protection for our Chaos Universe people." As he spoke, Li Rao looked at Mo Wangchen, his eyes showing a hint of fervor.
Mo Wangchen pondered, then said, "It’s like lips and teeth being fragile together; the four major forces have created a balance by mutually restraining each other. This is a balance that none of them would allow anyone to break. If I truly stood up to challenge them, I would undoubtedly face the combined targeting of the four major forces."
The Holy City isn’t that big, already divided among the four major forces. If a fifth party emerged to seize territory, it would only harm the interests of the four great forces. They wouldn’t sit idly by.
At the very least, Mo Wangchen didn’t want to be the first to break the peace, or rather, now wasn’t the right time.
Probably, the Southern Immortal thinks the same, or else he would have acted by now!
As the three continued on, they didn’t know how long had passed before they arrived in front of a group of palaces.
It was a grand palace, like an Imperial City, enclosed by towering red bricks, with the entrance restricted by a special energy barrier, preventing ordinary people from entering.
"This is the Holy Palace, occupying at least one-fifth of the entire Holy City area, where the Daoist Masters reside, rarely venturing out. Anyone wishing to enter must first be announced," Jiang Wenyuan explained.
Mo Wangchen stood before the Holy Palace, the ancient palatial complex exuding an inexplicable sense of majesty. Within the Holy Palace, faint traces of formidable auras extended outward.
"This is the Holy Tower. If you have enough Divine Crystals, you can redeem anything you desire here. Simultaneously, it also collects valuable Exotic Treasures, allowing you to trade them for an equivalent amount of Divine Crystals," Jiang Wenyuan said, pointing to a seven-story ancient tower on the street to the left of the Holy Palace.
The Holy Tower contains endless wealth. Here, you can exchange Divine Crystals for Daoist Master’s Divine Arts, Magical Treasure, and more. Similarly, if you hunt monster beasts outside the city and are lucky enough to slay a Heavenly Dao Demon Beast, you can bring any Heavenly Crystals or other treasures to this Holy Tower andexchange them for Divine Crystals.
This is the true significance of Heavenly Dao Demon Beasts!
The area where the Holy Tower and Holy Palace are located isn’t under any single faction’s control. After all, it’s the domain of Daoist Masters; who would dare to offend it?
Compared to City North, Mo Wangchen noticed that more people were gathered at the entrance of the Holy Tower, making the scene bustling.
Many people were gathered in groups of twos and threes in front of the Holy Tower, seemingly discussing something.
"Let’s go in and take a look."
After a moment of silence, Mo Wangchen spoke.
This was one of his purposes for coming to the Holy City. Although he obtained a large number of Heavenly Crystals in the Wind Devouring Forest, it wasn’t enough to fully restore his Divine Sea; he needed many more Heavenly Crystals.
Perhaps in this Holy Tower, he could find what he needed!
Since learning of Mo Wangchen’s identity, Jiang Wenyuan had become much more enthusiastic. The white-robed man before him was incredibly wealthy, possessing nearly three million Divine Crystals and holding the top position on the leaderboard.
Such a person, upon entering the Holy Tower, would likely go on a buying spree, wouldn’t he?
"Are the three of you here to exchange or sell goods?"
Just as Mo Wangchen and his companions stepped into the Holy Tower, they were greeted by a servant who approached them.
Mo Wangchen couldn’t sense any aura of a cultivator from the servant, which surprised him greatly.
There were only two possibilities.
Either the servant’s cultivation was so profound that even Mo Wangchen couldn’t discern it, or he was simply an ordinary person who had never practiced cultivation.
Clearly, the former was more likely because, if he were truly an ordinary person, how could he have possibly come to this Divine Domain?
