Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1553 - 1544: Proceeding in Groups

The Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Universe, this is the trial left by the Creation Immortal Venerable.

Even though it’s only the first heaven, there is immense pressure within it.

Especially for cultivators.

Such suppression is extraordinary, and ordinary people cannot stay there for long.

Some with low talents can’t even enter the entrance.

When Mo Wangchen arrived here, he quickly found Mu Ling and others.

At this moment, she, along with Saintess Yunxi, Purple Extreme Saint, and a group of prodigies from the Eastern Desolate, were standing together.

Mo Wangchen also saw the Heavenly Martial Saint, as well as Young Master Zhen of the Zhen Family, Zhen Ming, and many other prodigies from ancient families, adding up to more than hundreds.

As Mo Wangchen was observing the Heavenly Martial Saint and others, they were also observing him.

For this rising star in the Eastern Desolate, except for a few like the Purple Extreme Saint and Saintess Yunxi, most of the others had hardly interacted with him.

But it was undeniable that Mo Wangchen had defeated Jian Yi, and was now acclaimed as the foremost below the Eastern Desolate Saint.

Among the crowd, he was definitely one of the leaders, existing alongside the likes of Purple Extreme Saint and Heavenly Martial Saint.

"Is everyone here?"

The Purple Extreme Saint glanced around at the gathered talents of the Eastern Desolate, asking.

Saintess Yunxi nodded, "Counting Brother Mo, there are a total of eight hundred and thirty-seven people, all present."

"Then let’s proceed directly." The Heavenly Martial Saint said straightforwardly.

After speaking, without hesitation, he was the first to leap out, flying towards the Immortal Sect entrance hovering in the air.

"Let’s go too." The Purple Extreme Saint said.

Mo Wangchen and the others nodded, then followed the Purple Extreme Saint, all leaping up, forming a grand procession of over eight hundred people rushing towards the entrance of the first heaven.

Not only the talents of the Eastern Desolate, but also figures from the West, South, and North Desolates were accompanying them.

However, compared to these united talents, most of the participants in this trial were loose cultivators, accustomed to solitude. Even for this trial, they had no intention of teaming up with others.

Tens of thousands soared through the air, rushing towards the entrance of the Immortal Sect, and except for those with exceptionally low talents being barred outside, most successfully entered the first heaven.

"Such a strong sense of oppression!"

Mo Wangchen felt a blur before his eyes, and once his sight was restored, he only felt a powerful sense of oppression descend upon him, causing the divine power within his Divine Sea, which was surging like waves, to be forcibly suppressed quite a lot.

His cultivation also abruptly decreased at this moment, reaching the first tier of the Ancient God Realm.

"What should we do?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask, feeling uncomfortable due to the suppression of their cultivation, losing power made them become much more cautious.

"Do not act rashly, this place is teeming with dangers. Making a move first will only create unnecessary enemies. Let’s first see how to gain the recognition of the divine statues." The Purple Extreme Saint said.

Everyone nodded, starting to move very tactfully towards the nearest Absolute Peak.

In this first heaven, due to the pressure, most chose to travel on foot, as forcibly flying consumed too much energy. During this period, encountering unexpected occurrences would be unwise, and conserving some energy is the best choice.

A thousand Absolute Peaks, each having a divine statue atop. At this moment, the prodigies entering the first heaven numbered more than ten thousand.

With mutual understanding, everyone moved towards those thousand Absolute Peaks. The purpose was simple, gaining the recognition of a divine statue meant qualification to enter the second heaven.

"This is too slow, we must move in batches. Otherwise, if the other divine statues are seized, our eight hundred people will all lose the opportunity to enter the second heaven." The Heavenly Martial Saint suddenly spoke while walking.

"The competition is fierce here, only by uniting can we support each other. I don’t suggest splitting into batches." Saintess Yunxi frowned.

Mo Wangchen said, "I think indeed it should be so, there are only a thousand statues. If we all rush towards the same statue, even if we gain recognition, only one person can obtain the qualification to enter the second heaven. It’s better to move in batches, each finding a statue, increasing our chances."

"How to split?" Mu Ling asked.

The Purple Extreme Saint hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let those with strength lead a team. I will lead one, Heavenly Martial Saint, Saintess Yunxi, Young Pavilion Master, Brother Mo, Brother Zhen, you five will also each lead a team."

"Alright."

Everyone nodded. There were no objections to this proposal.

Soon, the teams were divided into thirteen batches, each with about sixty people. Although smaller than the large group, a team of over sixty people was still formidable.

Mo Wangchen naturally became the leader of a small team. Though new, he had the illustrious achievement of defeating Jian Yi, so his team had no objections to him.

Thirteen teams headed towards different divine statues.

Mo Wangchen and his team traversed among the mountains. It had to be said that within the first heaven, there was no real difference from the outside world: mountains stretched endlessly, ancient trees reached the sky—the only difference being that high in the sky, the Bright Sun and Mingyue simultaneously appeared to the left and right.

"Let’s speed up and strive to reach the statue first."

Mo Wangchen spoke, at this point, their team was advancing straight ahead, where there was an Absolute Peak towering into the clouds, with a divine statue wielding a Holy Sword atop, vividly lifelike, like a Sword Sect, overlooking the world, majestic and grand.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in this mountain area, with birds chirping alarmedly, as a sky-shaking roar echoed.

This immediately made everyone’s heart leap to their throats, their heartbeat quickening.

Looking around, they suddenly saw, at the foot of the Absolute Peak, numerous gigantic black shadows emerging, nearly a hundred of them, all Ancient Fierce Beasts, with bodies as large as mountains. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"What’s happening?"

"Why are Ancient Fierce Beasts here?"

Everyone couldn’t help but look grave, with a sense of foreboding.

"It should also be part of the trial. Do not panic, continue forward. These fierce beasts are likewise suppressed to the first tier of the Ancient God Realm. If we unite, we have nothing to fear." Mo Wangchen spoke, sweeping his Divine Thought over the beasts, immediately discerning their cultivation level.

"Bang!"

Nearly a hundred fierce beasts surged forth from the mountain’s foot, dashing in all directions. Their gigantic paws stomped the ground, causing the entire mountain range to tremble.

"Ah!"

Some screams occasionally echoed; evidently, some had already been targeted by the fierce beasts. These were loose cultivators without defense against fierce beasts of equivalent realm; they were trampled to flesh, perishing on the spot, and transported out.
