Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1613 - 1604: Emperor’s Disciple (Part 3)

"Wow! So many people here! It’s so lively!"

Just as she reached the top of Wangxing Peak, Little Ming Yue couldn’t help but descend from Mo Wangchen’s embrace. Looking around, she saw thousands upon thousands of silhouettes on the open ground ahead.

This was far grander than when Mo Wangchen and his old friends had gathered recently on Holy Mountain.

"Don’t run too far, stay close to dad," Mo Wangchen reminded.

Little Ming Yue nodded obediently and asked again, "Dad, when can we watch the stars?"

"Soon."

Mo Wangchen affectionately patted her head and smiled, "Ming Yue, you’ll see the stars soon. Remember to watch carefully. If you manage to break through, dad will reward you."

"Really?"

Little Ming Yue jumped excitedly.

"On this Seven Stars in a Row night, I wonder if anyone will achieve sudden enlightenment?"

"Sudden enlightenment is hard to predict. Few have achieved it throughout history, but breaking through shouldn’t be impossible."

"Haha, if I achieve sudden enlightenment while stargazing, I’ll soar to the skies, and within a hundred years, stand alongside all the Emperors," a young man said, though with a hint of jest in his tone.

Stargazing and sudden enlightenment, how many have achieved this through history?

Most of the prodigies present today possess talent greater than his, and if one truly achieves sudden enlightenment, it might not be him.

"By the time you prove Dao in a hundred years, all Emperors will be at a higher realm, and you still won’t catch up," someone beside him said, also jokingly.

"You can’t say it like that. There was an old Saint who was only at Emperor Realm, with a great gap between him and his contemporaries. But when he achieved sudden enlightenment, his heavenly fate allowed him to catch up with those young kings within hundreds of years, eventually dominating among his peers," the young man retorted.

"Only if you really achieve sudden enlightenment. Such fortune is rare, not for ordinary people like us. If we can just break through, it’s already the heavens’ blessing."

"Today, heroes rise together, and yesterday’s Emperor level geniuses have fully grown. Some of the most outstanding now possess strength comparable to Divine Emperor level experts—the Void Alliance’s Emperor Huo, the Dragon Clan’s two Emperors... Alas, we might never reach such heights in our lifetime."

"The Divine King Body returns, Emperor Huo is vanquished, shaking the world. If there’s anyone among the young generation today who has the most potential to reign supreme, it has to be Mo Wangchen, the Divine King Body on Holy Mountain,"

The conversation naturally turned to recent major events, sparked by Mo Wangchen’s return and Fire God Clan’s downfall.

"The Divine King Body cannot be said not to be powerful; in seven years, he has grown astonishingly. In the past battle at Yang City, he single-handedly vanquished the Fire God Emperor, stunning the world. In the younger generation of the Human Clan, there seems to be no one who can compare to him now."

"That’s just your Human Clan. My Ancient Clan has prodigies as numerous as stars, and the Dragon Clan’s two Emperors have equally dominated, growing astonishingly over the years, their strength not beneath the Divine King Body," an Ancient Clan youth spoke.

Tonight, with Seven Stars in a Row, not only the Human Clan, but many from the Ancient Clan have also rushed here.

"The Dragon Clan’s two Emperors are indeed strong, but to say their strength is not beneath the Divine King Body’s is an exaggeration. Years ago, when the two realms hadn’t connected, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor suffered a loss to the Divine King Body. If he truly has confidence to rival the Divine King Body, he would’ve already settled those past grievances," a Human Clan powerhouse retorted.

"The Divine King Body went beyond borders for seven years. How could the Emperor settle past grievances with him? Just wait, with his return, the Dragon Clan will surely march on Holy Mountain," an Ancient Clan genius said.

"So many years have passed, yet your Ancient Clan hasn’t given up its habit of boasting. The Divine King Body returns and vanquishes the Fire God Emperor, showcasing his strength to the world. Conversely, what have those two Dragon Clan Emperors done over the years? Merely been praised by your Ancient Clan," someone mocked.

"It’s simply your Human Clan’s news that’s closed off. On Divine Fall Mountain, Lin Bai, the Emotion Cutting Saint of Lingxiao Temple, was once lauded by you all as the foremost young man beneath the Divine King Body. But did you know he was severely injured by a Dragon Clan Emperor years ago, and still carries old ailments within him?"

Many couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this, and an elderly person who came to see the show asked, "Is there any evidence for your words?"

"Believe it or not, I don’t need to explain much to you. Have you heard of Long Yi? He entered as a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor seven years ago and has grown astonishingly. Now, at twenty-something, he has reached the peak of Heavenly Immortal Realm, about to prove the Dao as an Ancient God. He came for the Seven Stars tonight; as a disciple of the Emperor, if anyone achieves sudden enlightenment tonight, it’s likely him. If even he doesn’t, your Human Clan stands no chance."

"Long Yi?"

Hearing this name, many present couldn’t help but frown, especially the Human Clan geniuses who came.

In recent years, the name Long Yi has gradually spread across the world. With the status of an Emperor’s disciple, his place in the Ancient Clan is notably high, and even those who have reached God Realm treat him with utmost respect.

In today’s Ancient Clan, besides those of Emperor level, no one can match Long Yi.

"What Long Yi? He hasn’t even reached God Realm, yet your Ancient Clan praises him to the heavens. Speaking of disciples, among the sixteen thieves on Holy Mountain, several are disciples of the Divine King Body. Their strength has long reached Ancient God. What can Long Yi compare to them?" someone couldn’t help but retort.

"Are you talking about Yao Yuntian and those few with the Luoshen Body?"

The Ancient Clan genius sneered disdainfully, "These people are indeed disciples of the Divine King Body, but they’ve been cultivating for a hundred years, right? As for Long Yi, his true age is just over twenty; if his cultivation years matched those with the Luoshen Body, his strength would surely surpass theirs."

"The change in Heaven and Earth now merely allowed your Ancient Clan to birth a twenty-something Heavenly Immortal Realm prodigy. If not for the Divine King Body controlling the Divine Tablet, how could anyone become a god? After all, if Long Yi wishes to prove the Dao and seal his godhood in the future, he will need the divine status from the Divine Tablet, right? Taking advantage of the Divine King Body’s benefits yet belittling him everywhere, truly cunning; your Ancient Clan is indeed deceitful and wicked," a Human Clan elder mocked.

"Shush..."

On Wangxing Peak, the Human Clan and Ancient Clan were fiercely outspoken, though no one dared to take action and break the current situation. Until night entirely descended, and from afar, a rainbow light suddenly swept across like a dragon from ancient times soaring in the Heavenly Universe, accompanied by a dragon’s roar, eventually appearing above the square.

"Emperor’s disciple, Long Yi!"

"He’s really here!"

Many couldn’t help but change their expression, recognizing the figure of the arrival.
