Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1552 - 1543: The Assessment Begins

"Brother Mo, are you in trouble?"

The Purple Extreme Saint had just arrived and was the first to speak to Mo Wangchen.

"These people want to join forces to battle Sister Luo Qing; it’s simply shameless." Before Mo Wangchen could say anything, Mu Ling couldn’t hold back and let out a cold snort.

Hearing this, the Purple Extreme Saint immediately frowned, then looked over and examined the scene for a moment before speaking with a smile, "My friends, tomorrow is the day for the Divine Bell assessment; it’s not advisable to fight and waste energy. Please give me some face and leave now, wouldn’t you?"

His words were polite, showing humility and courtesy, which was the Purple Extreme Saint’s consistent style.

Even though the five prodigies of the Northern Desolate were far inferior in strength to him, Xing Tianyi did not show any inclination to overpower them.

"Brother Xing personally speaking, we naturally have to give face. Let’s call it a night; the saintess can go as she pleases, and we’ll take our leave."

The five were not fools; having reached their level of cultivation, they were naturally not unreasonable people. Not to mention that Mo Wangchen and the Purple Extreme Saint were now involved, even if they joined forces, it would be extremely difficult to defeat Saintess Yunxi.

At most, they could only exhaust her energy and affect her performance in tomorrow’s assessment.

But now, as the Eastern Desolate prodigies showed up one after another, standing by Saintess Yunxi’s side, they realized this plan was no longer feasible.

As fellow people from the Eastern Desolate, the Purple Extreme Saint and Mo Wangchen could not just stand by and watch Saintess Yunxi being entangled by the five without doing anything.

In fact, by now, most prodigies from the four domains had likely joined forces to aim for the opportunity to let their territory get more spots.

The Eastern Desolate would certainly do the same!

"It seems that the prodigies of the four domains have mostly allied themselves, yet we in the Eastern Desolate still have no one to lead."

Until Chen Han and his group left, Mo Wangchen and the others found an inn to sit down. Saintess Yunxi frowned and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Extreme Saint nodded, "The Eastern Desolate has not been peaceful recently, with many conflicts between factions. It’s indeed difficult to unite, but if we act alone during this assessment, we are bound to suffer a major loss. Why don’t we also try to unite, at least to stand together during the first few layers of heaven?"

Saintess Yunxi nodded, quite supporting this idea. She looked at Mo Wangchen and asked, "Brother Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Wangchen frowned. In fact, he also intended to unite but only with Mu Ling and Saintess Yunxi.

Now that the Purple Extreme Saint was present and the conversation had reached this point, it would be unreasonable to disagree.

"Uniting isn’t a bad strategy, but many prodigies came to Eastern Desolate, and others may not necessarily cooperate with us," Mo Wangchen said.

The Purple Extreme Saint smiled, "That’s the best approach; they have no choice but to agree. Since none of you object, I shall spread the word, and as for the Heavenly Martial Saint, I’ll speak with him personally."

Soon, Xing Tianyi left the venue. Saintess Yunxi saw that Mo Wangchen seemed to have some unspoken concern and couldn’t help but ask, "You don’t seem very willing to unite with others?"

Mo Wangchen shook his head, "The Eastern Desolate is like a pile of sand; there’s no absolute trust between factions. So-called alliances are unreliable, posing too many potential risks. What worries me most is the Purple Extreme Saint himself..."

"What do you mean by this, Brother Mo?"

Mu Ling was puzzled. Earlier, she couldn’t understand why Mo Wangchen had reservations about the Purple Extreme Saint when the idea of uniting was brought up.

"Some things cannot be explained right now, but remember, once the assessment begins, keep a close eye on the Purple Extreme Saint," Mo Wangchen said without much explanation.

Late into the night, he bid farewell to Mu Ling and Saintess Yunxi, found a place to rest, and sat cross-legged, waiting for the next day’s assessment.

"Dong..."

Time passed by the minute and second until dawn the next day, as the Bright Sun rose, the grand and ancient bell sounded again, echoing from the Creation Immortal Peak, resonating throughout the entire sky, reaching every corner of the four domains.

Soon after, the Creation Immortal Peak shrouded in immortal mist suddenly began to tremble slightly, the tremors growing stronger, spreading across Taifeng City, even to the lands beyond a thousand miles, causing a noticeable shock.

"Buzzing..."

Above the Immortal Peak, the previously clear skies suddenly rippled with an invisible energy wave, like ripples on water, spreading in all directions, seeming as if the entire universe trembled along.

In the next moment, the Nine Layers of Heavenly Universe appeared, with the Bright Sun and the Mingyue suspended within each layer, as if day and night coexisted. From below, the Nine Layers of Heavenly Universe looked like nine different worlds.

Under the suspended Bright Sun and Mingyue, mountain ranges stood tall, and on the First Layer of Heaven, the crowd saw a thousand Absolute Peaks piercing the clouds.

Atop those Absolute Peaks, there were enormous divine statues, lifelike, all holding different Holy Weapons, their eyes slightly lowered as if overlooking all beings.

"There are a thousand divine statues in the First Layer of Heaven, just like the assessments in the Ancient times!"

In Taifeng City, someone exclaimed, and many couldn’t help but take to the air, rushing toward Creation Immortal Peak.

"A hundred-year Reverse Life, an Immortal Venerable’s empowerment, such an epic opportunity, I must seize it!"

"Haha, hidden for a thousand years, now I shall astonish the world, the Creation Dao shall be mine!"

Throughout the city, many young people shouted loudly, their hearts full of excitement. Such an epic opportunity, once in hand, within a hundred years, they could reach the pinnacle of the four domains and go down in history!

"Buzz..."

Beneath the Immortal Peak, as time passed, more and more people gathered. Suddenly, a huge illusory gateway appeared in the sky, as if it were the entrance to the Immortal Palace.

"It’s the entrance to the First Layer of Heaven!"

"The assessment has officially begun!"

Many couldn’t help but leap into the air, heading toward the Immortal Gate, their eyes flashing with determination, eager to obtain the Creation Dao.

"Bang!"

However, when a young man in purple was the first to reach the Immortal Gate and was about to enter, a sudden invisible force flung him out.

"Puff!"

The young man screamed, coughing up blood, his face turning pale instantly.

This scene shocked everyone; is this not the entrance to the First Layer of Heaven?

"Humph, the Divine Bell assessment and the Creation Dao are not for everyone to participate in; even if you’re not overage, without a certain level of talent, you won’t get past the First Layer of Heaven. It’s best to leave early."

A young man snorted coldly; as his words fell, he had already reached the front of the Immortal Gate. With a flash of his body, he appeared somewhere within the First Layer of Heaven again.
