Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1654 - 1645: Reunion with Piaomiao Saint Venerable
"Ah!"
The entire vast square was filled with stunned silence, the only sound being the agonized screams of those Ancient Clan geniuses, accompanied by the crisp slapping noise echoing around.
Ever since the great transformation of heaven and earth nine hundred years ago, the speed of cultivation had accelerated immensely.
The Ancient Clan, with their already deep foundation, naturally experienced this even more.
The dozen or so Ancient Clan geniuses present here today had all stepped into the Immortal Realm.
In today’s Tiannan, such strength was undoubtedly considered top-notch! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Yet, it was these Young Kings who, in broad daylight today, were being brutally beaten, their cries of pain echoing across the sky.
"Slap, slap, slap..."
Ultimately, Mo Wangchen snorted coldly, and with a slap, knocked all those Ancient Clan geniuses to the ground. He swept his cold gaze over them and said, "If this were in the past, none of you would have left here alive. Now, you have ten breaths to get lost!"
With Little Ming Yue by his side, Mo Wangchen didn’t want to resort to killing.
Otherwise, just for insulting the Piaomiao Saint Venerable and belittling the Piaomiao Palace, they wouldn’t have been allowed to live.
"You... you... are you Mo Wangchen?!"
Among the dozen Ancient Clan geniuses, one person held his swollen face, got up from the ground, and finally recognized Mo Wangchen’s appearance, exclaiming in disbelief.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
Mo Wangchen ignored him and started counting.
Back in the Heavenly Gang, he had caused quite a stir, so it was not surprising that someone could recognize him.
"What?"
"The Divine King Body, Mo Wangchen!"
"Is it really him?"
The words of the Ancient Clan youth caused the crowd to be utterly shocked.
The legendary figure of Tiannan, the former Young God King, Mo Wangchen, had returned?
"Go!"
The remaining dozen Ancient Clan geniuses all changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with extreme dread.
This was an existence even Ancient Kings could not underestimate. The Human Clan’s Divine King Body, even back in his days at the Heavenly Gang, was something for the Ancient Clans to fear.
Not to mention, after so many years, Mo Wangchen’s strength must have reached an astonishing level.
They dared not stay longer and left in panic, regretting coming here today and provoking Mo Wangchen. If the Ancient King learned of this, their return would not end pleasantly.
"You brat, you actually know how to come back?"
Once the dozen Ancient Clan geniuses had completely vanished, the Piaomiao Saint Venerable, who had been standing not far behind Mo Wangchen, finally came over. Although his words were not pleasant, it was clear that the Piaomiao Saint Venerable was extremely excited at this moment.
"I heard that the Piaomiao Palace was reopening its mountain gate not long ago, so I came to check it out. I didn’t expect it to really be the Saint Venerable reincarnated." Mo Wangchen said with a smile, seeing the Piaomiao Saint Venerable again after nine centuries, which evoked many memories.
Back then, he came here with young Yaoyao, who was just a few years old, much like today.
"It’s all thanks to you..."
The Piaomiao Saint Venerable exclaimed with great emotion. His past demise and passage into reincarnation were all due to Mo Wangchen.
At that time, he knew that the other had already achieved remarkable feats.
After his reincarnation, Ksitigarbha specifically allowed the Piaomiao Saint Venerable to be reborn with memories, which greatly aided his re-entry into cultivation.
Over these years, with the presence of past memories and the transformation of heaven and earth, the Piaomiao Saint Venerable had long stepped into the Void Immortal Realm.
An entrance examination had to be temporarily halted due to Mo Wangchen’s appearance, with people watching him and the Piaomiao Saint Venerable converse leisurely, reluctant to interrupt.
But in their hearts, they were still shocked that this legendary figure of Tiannan had returned so quietly. If this news spread, it would surely shake all of Tiannan and even the Heavenly Gang Star Domain!
"Let the examination continue, do not be distracted by me."
Ultimately, it was Mo Wangchen who spoke, allowing those struggling up the ancient steps to gradually refocus on the examination.
The examination lasted for a day and a night, concluding by noon the following day.
Originally, there were three thousand spots available, but after the examination, only over a thousand people managed to reach the sixth tier of the ancient steps, failing to even reach two thousand.
And possibly due to fortification of the ancient steps, none managed to reach the top, let alone draw the Divine Bow up there.
"Today, a total of one thousand four hundred and eighty-three individuals passed the examination. From now on, you shall all be disciples of the Piaomiao Palace. As for those who did not pass, do not be discouraged. In a year, our Piaomiao Palace will hold another entrance examination. You can return then. As for the position of the Saint Heir..."
The Piaomiao Saint Venerable stood out, glancing at Mo Wangchen before continuing, "This kid has been wild outside for too long. Once he returns, he might not stay for long before leaving again. So, our Piaomiao Palace must establish a new Saint Heir. A sect-wide competition will be held in a year, and whoever emerges victorious will become our Piaomiao Palace’s new Saint Heir!"
"Before I leave, I will leave behind some Immortal Scriptures and Upper Realm cultivation techniques, including my personal insights on cultivation. Those who become the Saint Heir can access these and slowly comprehend them. As for others, if you contribute enough to the Piaomiao Palace, you may access them as well." Mo Wangchen also stood out and said.
"Wow!"
His words caused everyone to be unable to contain themselves, creating an uproar.
Immortal Scriptures and cultivation techniques from the Upper Realm, and moreover from Mo Wangchen himself—one can only imagine the value!
"Really? As long as we make enough contributions to the sect, we can obtain these?" The geniuses who passed the examination couldn’t help but look at Mo Wangchen with eager eyes.
"What a pity, I was so close to passing the examination just now. Next year when I come back, I must successfully join the Piaomiao Palace!" Those who didn’t pass the examination felt regret, but it didn’t mean they had no chance.
Because the Piaomiao Saint Venerable had already mentioned that on this date next year, the Piaomiao Palace would hold another entrance examination.
Quickly, under the guidance of the Piaomiao Saint Venerable, Mo Wangchen and those who passed the examination were brought into the Piaomiao Palace.
To Mo Wangchen’s surprise, the Piaomiao Palace had been significantly expanded compared to nine hundred years ago. The flat grounds had many buildings standing now.
This was evidently an early preparation of the Piaomiao Saint Venerable!
