Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 1726 - 1717: Illusionary Evil Saint Heir Jun Ci
"I believe Brother Mo can secure the final victory."
Mu Ling just smiled, as she had always held immense confidence in Mo Wangchen.
Ever since he led the two of them out of the Hidden Life Trigram Array, Mo Wangchen seemed almost omnipotent in Mu Ling’s mind.
"It’s been over sixty years, and it’s not surprising that he has the current prowess, yet the identity of the Three Pure Realm Lord is truly astonishing," Saintess Yunxi couldn’t help but remark.
In reality, regarding Mo Wangchen’s affairs, once the Ten Thousand Realms interconnected, they had received some news. Though not entirely comprehensive, they knew a fair amount.
"As it appears now, there should be no doubt that Brother Mo truly is the Three Pure Realm Lord. Otherwise, how could he walk side by side with the Moon Venerable?"
Amidst their discussion, finally Mo Wangchen and Linglong Yue descended upon a high platform at the forefront of the venue.
"Brother Mo, please take your seat."
Linglong Yue spoke with a smile, indicating a spot not far from the left side of the platform, evidently prepared for Mo Wangchen.
Her position, on the right side of the platform, was also not far from Mo Wangchen’s, clearly showing that at today’s birthday banquet, Mo Wangchen’s treatment was sufficient to stand alongside Linglong Yue.
"How is this possible..."
"He can actually sit in that position?"
"Even Saint Master level experts can only sit lower down; what merit does this person have to sit beside the Moon Venerable?"
Many started to harbor doubts in their hearts, especially the young talents, who almost couldn’t help but furrow their brows.
There’s a significance in the arrangement of positions; the Moon Venerable clearly sits at the main seat, followed by the Saint Masters of various forces, and then the young Saint Heirs.
Now, the arrangement for Mo Wangchen’s position next to Linglong Yue undoubtedly proves that in the view of the Boundary Palace, Mo Wangchen’s status not only surpasses those Saint Masters but even rivals Linglong Yue?
"Brother Yan, even you can only sit after all the Saint Masters. This person merely defeated Zhou Yunhai and took the counterpart’s ranking on the Jiuzhou God Rankings, gaining some fame recently. How can he be compared to you?"
"Indeed, in the young generation of the Ten Thousand Realms, present here, probably only Brother Yan is qualified to sit beside the Moon Venerable? What makes Mo Wangchen deserving?"
Among the crowd, a few young men surrounded a Jinyi Youth, chatting away, making it evident that their expressions and feelings toward Mo Wangchen’s seating were not at all pleased.
"Since the Moon Venerable arranged it this way, there must be her reason; no need for resentment."
Faced with the comments from the young men beside him, the Jinyi Youth showed no reaction; after pondering briefly, he spoke.
"Brother Yan’s magnanimity is truly admirable," a few young men beside him flattered.
This Jinyi man is none other than one of the renowned kings in the Ten Thousand Realms, East Immortal Sacred Body Yan Haoge!
"Brother Mo, please join me in respectfully toasting young talents of the world."
Almost all eyes in the audience were focused on Mo Wangchen and Linglong Yue, yet the two appeared as steady as Mount Tai, composed and unhurried.
As for Linglong Yue, there was no need to mention it; she’s been leading a realm for so many years, having seen all kinds of grand scenes.
Conversely, for Mo Wangchen, although there’s no outward sense of tension, internally, he couldn’t deny feeling moved.
The reason being the sheer number of eminent figures present today, with nearly a hundred individuals at Saint Master Level, all having stepped into the Reverse Life Realm, are indeed top-tier figures in the Ten Thousand Realms.
With nearly a hundred Reverse Life level experts, such a formation could sweep away any force within the Ten Thousand Realms.
And in the Three Pure Realm, Reverse Life has always been a legend, even Mo Wangchen, till now, has only reached the Divine Realm Peak, unable to take that final step.
"Today celebrates the thirty-thousand-year birthday of this self, with Daoist fellows coming from across the vast starry sky, crossing realms to attend, I toast to you first with this cup of wine."
Mo Wangchen and Linglong Yue raised their glasses, stood up, and toasted to everyone below, their demeanor composed and without any airs, yet invisibly conveying an untouchable majesty.
After the toast, the guests began presenting congratulatory gifts, including coveted Magical Treasures and Pills, along with some rare Heaven and Earth treasures, and even the ’Heavenly Crystal’ was presented.
The so-called Heavenly Crystal is naturally formed, containing boundless Reverse Power within; absorbing it could notably enhance the prowess of Reverse Life Mirror experts.
Such an item is extremely hard to find, and across the ancient history of the Ten Thousand Realms, no more than ten pieces have appeared.
This Heavenly Crystal was naturally presented by the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, personally offered by the Young Pavilion Master Mu Ling.
Upon seeing her, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but reveal some surprise; clearly, he did not expect to encounter her here.
When Mu Ling handed over the Heavenly Crystal, she noticeably glanced at Mo Wangchen; he smilingly nodded in response, yet didn’t engage further.
His current presence is rather awkward, sitting beside Linglong Yue, every move closely watched by the cultivators.
"I’ve heard this friend recently defeated the Zhou Family Saint Heir, took their place, and claimed the eighty-seventh spot on the Jiuzhou God Rankings. Today, with you receiving such favor from the Moon Venerable, what kind of gift have you prepared?"
After other guests presented their gifts, unexpectedly, a voice interrupted, speaking was a young man whose gaze was upon Mo Wangchen.
"It’s Jun Ci!"
"The eighty-sixth ranked genius on the Jiuzhou God Rankings, the Saint Heir of the Illusion Evil Hall!"
"Interesting, Mo Wangchen currently holds the eighty-seventh position on the Jiuzhou God Rankings, while Jun Ci is eighty-sixth. Logically, their strengths shouldn’t differ much. Unexpectedly, they’ve met here; who knows if something intriguing might unfold."
Many can’t help but reveal expressions of interest at this moment, eager to see the spectacle.
"To be honest, coming to the Linglong Realm, I was only passing through, so I haven’t prepared any gifts..."
Mo Wangchen rubbed his nose and spoke truthfully; he indeed hadn’t prepared a gift but did have some things on him.
However, these things are evidently unsuitable for gifting.
Because he wouldn’t give anything that could bolster his stature, they’re part of his foundation, and though pills might be immensely useful to ordinary cultivators, for someone like Linglong Yue, they wouldn’t offer any help, gifting them would be meaningless.
"Haha, the Moon Venerable governs the Linglong Major Realm, granting you such recognition, yet you can’t even present a gift?"
Before Jun Ci could say anything, from among those youths accompanying East Immortal Body Yan Haoge, one couldn’t resist standing up, his words carrying a mocking tone as his gaze fell on Mo Wangchen.
