Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1896 - 1887: The Giant Stone

"Great Elder, are we just letting him go like that?"

Watching the direction in which Mo Wangchen eventually disappeared, Song Hao spoke with a sullen expression.

Nangong Wushang frowned deeply, "What else can we do? This person must possess a special physique. The Forbidden Power here affects him little. If we truly engage him, we might not be able to subdue him, and we would suffer losses instead."

"No matter what, the Supreme Divine Weapon cannot easily fall into his hands. Send someone to follow him discreetly. Once outside, capture him at the first opportunity!" Liu Wuxiang instructed several Elders beside him.

Song Hao watched the direction where Mo Wangchen went, with a look of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Today, before everyone’s eyes, he was defeated by Mo Wangchen and utterly unable to resist, losing face significantly.

Eventually, he would have to personally demand payment of this debt from Mo Wangchen!

But Mo Wangchen knew nothing of all this.

At this moment, he had already arrived on the surface. His body swiftly left this area.

Traveling solo in the untrodden Tianxu Mountain Range, everything here exudes an aura of antiquity and an ancient atmosphere.

By now, more and more cultivators have flooded into this mountain range.

Along the way, Mo Wangchen occasionally saw some passing cultivators, all searching for something within the mountains.

These people were naturally searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique.

Mo Wangchen didn’t know how long had passed when he arrived at an ancient ruin.

Looking around, the ruins were already crowded with cultivators.

This was a relic site of the Ancient Immortal Sect, and the halls had long collapsed into ruins.

Mo Wangchen wandered in the ruins for a while, also looking around, but after half a day, he found nothing.

"Have you heard? The northern direction is frequently experiencing disturbances. Many people speculate that the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique is likely over there!"

Not far away, several cultivators were discussing in low voices.

"Time is of the essence. Let’s go there quickly and have a look. If it’s truly the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique, how could we miss it?" someone said.

"I think we better not. We simply cannot compete with those major powers. Besides, the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique chooses its master sequentially. Only those young and incredibly talented prospects can gain its recognition. Even if we go there, we will only watch helplessly."

"That makes sense; rather than that, it’s better to search a while longer in these ruins. If we can find some ancient treasures, it wouldn’t have been a wasted trip."

The crowd debated, with differing opinions obviously.

Some chose to stay, while others chose to head directly north, rushing towards the disturbance’s location.

Upon knowing the news, Mo Wangchen immediately set off.

He followed the crowd, moving north.

During this time, monster beasts frequently appeared in the mountains, blocking the path of the crowd.

Thus, many top solo cultivators had to take action one after another.

There were also some hiding in the shadows, intending to conserve strength for the fierce competition soon to come.

"The Tianxu Mountain Range is indeed the dreaded dangerous land within Lizhou. Along the way, there must be no fewer than thousands of victims alone."

On the way, someone couldn’t help but discuss again.

In the mountains, traces of fights could be seen everywhere.

The cultivator’s corpses lay scattered across the wild, countless having died.

Not only lone cultivators, many strong individuals from major families and Sacred Lands also fell here.

They either died at the hands of monster beasts or from unforeseen dangers.

Or they died at the hands of other cultivators.

This is a world of the survival of the fittest, especially in places like this, where murder and treasure hunting occur frequently. What you need to guard against is not just the monster beasts in the mountains, but also various unscrupulous cultivators from all around.

The further Mo Wangchen progressed, the more he sensed the increasing strength of the Forbidden Power here.

By now, his cultivation had been suppressed to the third or fourth level of the Ancient God Realm.

This is despite having a Divine King Body.

As for the other cultivators traveling with him, only a handful could still maintain their Ancient God Realm cultivation.

The vast majority had already been suppressed below the Ancient God Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In other words, Mo Wangchen’s advantage with the Divine King Body, with the cultivation he retained, could overwhelm all opponents.

This is a good thing!

Once competition arises, then Mo Wangchen can sweep through all sides, unimpeded.

The only problem now is:

If he truly finds the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique, does he have the chance to comprehend it successfully?

After all, from what cultivators have discussed,

The Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique chooses its master; it doesn’t necessarily choose based on your strength.

Thinking this in mind, Mo Wangchen continued to move forward.

Again, he didn’t know how long had passed.

Finally, a vast open plain stretched out before him.

Looking around, towering ancient trees could be seen, yet without green leaves.

All the vegetation had withered, as if fallen leaves in autumn.

The air was filled with scorching currents; anyone entering this area could feel a blazing sun-like heat, as if entering a furnace.

At the very front of the square, countless people had gathered, all are cultivators coming from far and wide.

Amidst the crowd, a simple wooden hut came into view.

The wooden hut had long crumbled under the endless ravages of time.

But before the hut stood a massive stone nearly as tall as two people.

It was vivid red all over, emanating unparalleled heat, like a blazing sun.

At this moment, in front of the stone, many silhouettes sat with their eyes closed, all young faces, all elite descendants from various large powers, seemingly meditating on something.

"The Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique..."

Mo Wangchen’s eyes lit up, easily guessing that a Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique was likely hidden within this stone.

Rumor has it that only young generation talents have a chance to successfully comprehend the Secret Technique.

Therefore, at this moment, sitting before the stone were all young people.

The older experts now stood at a distance watching, with anticipation and eagerness in their eyes.

They naturally hoped for their descendants to succeed in comprehending it.

After all, the benefits that a Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique can bring are immeasurable.

"Great Elder, it’s Mo Wangchen; that kid is here too."

In the crowd, the experts of the Cangli Sacred Land and Xuanling Sacred Land had also arrived here, including Saintess Ruan Xinyu and Saint Heir Song Hao, sitting before the stone, meditating.

"Coming just in time; it’s just worrying if he had left directly." Nangong Wushang snorted coldly.

Mo Wangchen certainly noticed their presence but didn’t pay much attention to them. He glanced over, then stepped forward towards the stone’s location.

Ultimately, he arrived before the stone, found an empty spot, sat down directly, and began meditating, entering a state of enlightenment.
