Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 247 - 238: The Same Physique as the Divine King?

Chapter 247: Chapter 238: The Same Physique as the Divine King?

"The senior means..."

Mo Wangchen appeared stunned upon hearing Piaomiao Saint Venerable’s words, and it took him a long while to respond, "So, in the current Piaomiao Palace, there is no one else except for the senior himself, not a single disciple?"

"Hehe! My Piaomiao Palace is a hidden great sect handed down from ancient times, whether there are disciples or not doesn’t matter. Even with only me, Piaomiao Palace still remains one of the hidden world powers," Piaomiao Saint Venerable said without a change of expression or the slightest shortness of breath.

Mo Wangchen was somewhat speechless, no wonder they said Piaomiao Palace had fallen into silence; among all the hidden sects, it had no presence. With such a sect, it would be strange if it could develop.

"Young man, what’s with that look? If you’re going to ascend the Heavenly Ladder, then hurry up. If you can become the Saint Heir of Piaomiao Palace, this old man guarantees that those hidden sects and ancient martial families will definitely not dare trouble you again. For you, this situation is all beneficial and not harmful at all. What’s more, my great Piaomiao Palace has inherited a legacy that is profound and indescribable. To become the Saint Heir, all resources within the palace will be yours!"

"Senior’s words... it seems like you’re eager to have me join Piaomiao Palace and become your Saint Heir?" A doubtful Mo Wangchen wondered if he really had that much attraction.

"Heh! Who wouldn’t be moved by a talent that can suppress the Wu Family Divine Body, Little Peng King Zhou Tong? Besides, as far as I know, in the long history of the Beiming Land, only one kind of physique has been able to suppress Divine Bodies. I want to see if you are indeed that type of physique."

"What physique?" Mo Wangchen asked curiously. He knew he possessed the Heavenly Dao Body, as it was the Divine Body from the world he had lived in his previous life, but in this world, was there also a supremely strong physique that could suppress Divine Bodies?

"Ten thousand years ago, the peerless and elegant Divine King Ling Changkong achieved Body Sanctification, and it was rumored that his physique was even stronger than the Divine Body. However, what exactly his physique was has been the greatest mystery of the Beiming Land for ten thousand years. I want to see if the physique you possess is the same as Ling Changkong’s!" Piaomiao Saint Venerable’s eyes shone brightly as he spoke.

"Divine King Ling Changkong?" Mo Wangchen was astonished; he was naturally not unfamiliar with this name.

"If the Divine King’s exact physique is unknown even to the senior, how can you be sure that I possess the same kind of physique as him?" Mo Wangchen curiously looked at Piaomiao Saint Venerable.

"Before discussing this further, I have a question for you. Is there a faint layer of golden light surrounding the Spirit Sea within your body?" Piaomiao Saint Venerable asked seriously.

Mo Wangchen was surprised. Indeed, a layer of Golden Radiance surrounded his Spirit Sea, which wasn’t a feature of his Spirit Sea in his past life. He had thought it was a peculiarity of the Heavenly Dao Body, which endowed him with this unusual Spirit Sea compared to ordinary people.

Could it be that Piaomiao Saint Venerable pinpointed this with a single remark?

"Are you suggesting... that Divine King Ling Changkong’s Spirit Sea was also like this?" Mo Wangchen was astonished. Could it be that Divine King Ling Changkong, who had dazzled an era a hundred thousand years ago, possessed the Heavenly Dao Body?

But as far as he knew, the Cultivation Methods of this world were not suitable for cultivating the Heavenly Dao Body; otherwise, when he was reborn, the original owner of this body would not have been a useless Young Master.

Yet, how did Divine King Ling Changkong cultivate if he also possessed the Heavenly Dao Body?

"Is there really a Golden Radiance?" Seeing Mo Wangchen’s reaction, Piaomiao Saint Venerable knew that the answer was self-evident. His eyes sparkled intensely as he looked at Mo Wangchen.

"Young man! Hurry and ascend the Heavenly Ladder. If you can reach the ninth step and try to draw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, through the ages, only Ling Changkong has ever drawn it. If you too can draw it, you must also possess the same physique as him!"

"What if I can’t draw it?" Mo Wangchen said.

"I feel like you, young man, talk too much. Can’t you try first before you say such things?" Piaomiao Saint Venerable seemed frustrated, a hint of irritation on his face, "Alright, even if you can’t draw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, I’ll still make you Piaomiao Palace’s Saint Heir, with all resources at your disposal, and I’ll also pass on the Immortal Scripture of Piaomiao Palace to you!"

"Immortal Scripture? Are you sure?!" Mo Wangchen’s eyes lit up. He well knew that Immortal Scriptures were possessions only of ancient martial families and hidden sects, rumored to be scriptures that had touched upon ’the Dao’—high-level Cultivation Techniques. If one could learn them, the speed of their Cultivation would undoubtedly increase much faster!

"You... youngster..."

Piaomiao Saint Venerable felt exasperated, feeling that Mo Wangchen’s questions might never end.

"I’ll go!"

Before Mo Wangchen could get angry, Mo Wangchen quickly spoke up, then handed Yaoyao over to the person in front of him, "Please, senior, take care of Yaoyao for me."

After saying this, he patted Yaoyao’s little head and smiled, "Yaoyao, be good, wait here for brother to come back."

...

Soon, he had reached the base of the nine-tiered Heavenly Ladder. Looking upward, though there were only nine tiers, each was incredibly vast, able to accommodate at least thousands of people. The tiers were connected, towering into the clouds.

At the topmost tier, a Divine Rainbow burst forth, which Mo Wangchen knew must be emanating from the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

At this moment, on the Heavenly Ladder, most of the talented climbers had already retreated, leaving less than a hundred.

And among these hundred, the vast majority were at the third tier, with only a handful of people reaching the fourth tier.

"Eh? Who is this kid? Is he only starting to climb now?" When Mo Wangchen arrived at the first tier, everyone’s gaze suddenly fell on him. Everyone had been paying attention to the figures climbing the ladder and had not seen Mo Wangchen conversing with the Piaomiao Saint Venerable.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Mo Wangchen took a deep breath, and then released his seventh-level Returning Ruins Realm cultivation, his body slowly floating up, and once he reached a certain height, he moved in front of the first tier’s platform.

After pausing for two breaths, he immediately stepped onto it without hesitation.

"Eh?"

As soon as his feet were firmly on the first tier, Mo Wangchen was clearly startled, exclaiming in surprise because he found he had no feeling of discomfort. Unlike before, he did not feel the oppressive force the Piaomiao Saint Venerable had mentioned.

"Could it be that the pressure on the first tier is too weak?" Mo Wangchen wondered but did not dwell on it, as his body floated up again, quickly arriving in front of the second tier.

"How is this possible?!"

"Damn! When I stepped onto the first tier, I was immediately repelled by a strong pressure, and he didn’t have any trouble at all?"

Below, everyone was astonished, faces filled with disbelief.

In fact, the pressure of the ladder had not lessened, but because Mo Wangchen possessed a special physique, the pressure had a negligible effect on him!

As he continued to float upward, the more he ascended, the more he began to feel the oppressive force, which was gradually becoming perceptible to Mo Wangchen.

Yet, this sensation was still too faint to pose any obstruction to him.

Under the incredulous stares from everyone below, he stepped onto the second tier without any intention of stopping. After reaching the second tier, he continued to float up, heading toward the third tier...
