Chapter 250: Chapter 241 Yaochi Immortal Palace

"Yaochi Immortal Palace?"

Mo Wangchen furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, "I was just thinking of making a trip there myself..."

"Oh?" The Piaomiao Saint Venerable expressed his confusion, looking at Mo Wangchen.

"I have an old friend who was supposedly taken back by the Yaochi Saint Venerable," Mo Wangchen did not offer a further explanation.

Upon hearing this, the Piaomiao Saint Venerable nodded, "Now that you are the Piaomiao Palace Saint and have cultivated the Piaomiao Immortal Scripture, if those powers come to know of your identity, they certainly would not dare to trouble you. Go with confidence."

"You’re not going?" Mo Wangchen asked in surprise.

"I, the sitting Sect Leader of Piaomiao Palace and a generation’s Saint Venerable powerhouse, how can I show myself so easily? Wouldn’t that be quite face-losing? As a master, one must maintain a master’s demeanor, right?" The Piaomiao Saint Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, with an arrogant air about him, appearing quite smug.

He continued, "Moreover, with the Yaochi Saintess making her debut and the Yaochi Immortal Palace inviting people from all directions, it’s merely a showcase of their Saintess’s qualifications. It’s a gathering for you young folks, I have no interest in joining such a lively event."

"What if those from the Hidden Sects and Ancient Martial families are persistent in taking action against me?" Mo Wangchen was still a bit uneasy.

"Can’t you be a bit more spirited, lad? With such a faint heart, once you go out, I think it’s better if you don’t pretend to be the Piaomiao Saint. Piaomiao Palace can’t afford to lose that face."

The Piaomiao Saint Venerable looked at Mo Wangchen with disdain, pausing his tone before speaking again, "Rest assured, while Piaomiao Palace seldom interacts with the outside, we still wield some deterrent power among the Hidden Sects and Ancient Martial families. As long as they’re not foolish, they wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you."

With that, a self-assured light shone in the Piaomiao Saint Venerable’s eyes.

Indeed, as a Saint Venerable powerhouse and an eminent figure of the era, now that Mo Wangchen was the Piaomiao Palace Saint, should anyone dare to strike at him, they would be facing the wrath of a Saint Venerable powerhouse.

Even such foundations with deep-rooted power as the Wu Family and Zhou Family would have to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

"There’s no time to lose, you should depart now. With the Nine Heavens Phoenix at your disposal, you should be able to reach the Yaochi Immortal Palace in about ten days. In ten days, it just so happens to be the day when the Yaochi Saintess inherits her position."

"Inheritance?" Mo Wangchen paused for a moment, "Speaking of which, when I became the Piaomiao Saint, it seemed like I didn’t have any such inheritance..."

"All those formalities are empty, we in Piaomiao Palace don’t need them, I’ve even passed the Immortal Scripture to you, what more could you want?" the Piaomiao Saint Venerable said, exasperated.

Mo Wangchen nodded, setting Yaoyao down from his embrace, "Yaoyao, be good and wait here, okay? Wait for your brother to come back, understand?"

"I won’t!"

Yaoyao clung to Mo Wangchen’s leg, with tears pooling in her eyes, "Wherever brother goes, Yaoyao goes too."

"Yaoyao, be good, your brother will be back soon," Mo Wangchen said, smiling and patting Yaoyao’s head. He knew there might be danger at the Yaochi Immortal Palace, and naturally, he couldn’t take Yaoyao with him.

"How about I stay with Yaoyao every day when I get back, would that be good?" Seeing Yaoyao still reluctant, Mo Wangchen coaxed her in this manner.

"Alright then..."

She looked unwilling but still obediently agreed, "Then brother, remember to bring back candied hawthorn for me!"

"Of course!" Mo Wangchen could almost laugh and cry at the same time.

Chirp!

Out from the Copper Mirror flew the Nine Heavens Phoenix, emitting a clear cry. Mo Wangchen leaped onto the Phoenix’s back, under the attentive gazes of the Piaomiao Saint Venerable and Yaoyao, flying swiftly towards a distant mountain range.

...

In the Jinyang Domain, above a certain mountain range, the space there rippled slightly, like ripples on the surface of water, spreading out in waves.

The next moment, a fiery-red feathered Phoenix flew out from within, at an extremely fast speed, turning into a Divine Rainbow in the blink of an eye, zipping away.

...

"The Yaochi Saintess is rumored to possess the Taiyin Body, sharing the same Physique as the Yaochi Saintess of one hundred thousand years ago. She has now become one of the candidates on the Great Emperor’s list."

"This time the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace has invited guests from all directions for the purpose of showcasing the qualifications of the Saintess. Although she possesses the Taiyin Body, it’s unknown what level of Cultivation she has achieved?"

"It’s said that she’s only at the Primordial Spirit Realm, but initially when the Ancient Kunpeng appeared, it was slain by the Yaochi Saint Venerable. It’s rumored that she obtained a drop of Kunpeng Essence Blood, and the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace is probably planning to use this drop of Essence Blood on the body of the Saintess."

"Kunpeng Essence Blood, ah. It contains extremely pure Heaven and Earth energy. Just a single drop can be a great help to Cultivators. The bloodline that the Little Peng King, Zhou Tong, has inherited from the first generation progenitor of the Zhou Family, when compared with that single drop of Essence Blood from the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace, I’m afraid it’s quite inferior. In less than half a year, the Turquoise Pool Saintess will inevitably step into the Creation Realm. Once she grows up, and contends with the prodigious figures from all quarters, who knows how many will be overshadowed by her brilliance..."

In these ten days, the news of the birth of the Turquoise Pool Saintess spread throughout the entire Beiming Land, becoming the topic of discussion for everyone.

"Previously, when the ancient tomb of the Turquoise Pool Saintess came to light, it’s said the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace also sent people there, but they returned without success. Now the ancient tomb has already vanished beneath the ground, nowhere to be found."

"Lately, many things have happened in Beiming. The appearance of a Kunpeng, the Saint Venerable Tomb, a youth with a mysterious physique, the Piaomiao Palace Saint, and the debut of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace’s Saintess."

"I can’t help but feel, faintly, that a major event is about to take place in Beiming..."

...

After ten days, Mo Wangchen finally arrived at the location of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace.

As for him now, he found himself within a range of mountains, having already dismissed the Nine Heavens Phoenix, not wanting to attract too much attention.

Flying across the sky above the mountains, Mo Wangchen could easily see that there were many figures like him, all heading in the same direction.

Before long, an Immortal Palace appeared in the distance, constructed atop a mountain range which had been uprooted and now floated gently in midair. It was a true Immortal Palace, almost like the Heavenly Court.

This was the very Mountain Gate of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace. Around it, layers of halos radiated, with a Seven-Colored Divine Rainbow floating in the sky above.

"Compared to the Mountain Gate of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace, the gate of the Piaomiao Palace seems too plain..."

Mo Wangchen shook his head and chuckled ruefully. The Mountain Gate of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace, floating amongst Heaven and Earth, surrounded by the colorful Divine Rainbow, seemed like a Heavenly Palace Divine City, utterly magnificent.

"Who goes there?"

As Mo Wangchen approached the entrance, suddenly, several exquisite figures blocked his path. These were three maidens with ethereal bearings, just like Immortals, all disciples of the Turquoise Pool Immortal.

Today was the day that the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace was to pass on the mantle of the Saintess. Many people from various quarters swarmed in, and the Mountain Gate was wide open, but almost all who came were from Hidden Sects or Ancient Martial Families. Few from the Mortal families and strong warriors from the Imperial City were qualified to attend.

Mo Wangchen appeared alone, and judging from the aura emanating from him, he had not even reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. Clearly, he did not seem like a descendant of Hidden Sects or Ancient Martial Families.

Seeing the three maidens blocking his way, Mo Wangchen creased his brow. He could easily tell that the three women were all at the level of the Primordial Spirit Realm in Cultivation.

After a moment of contemplation, a smile formed on his face as he said lightly, "I am the Piaomiao Palace Saint, invited here today."

"You are the Piaomiao Palace Saint?!" Upon hearing these words, the three maidens were startled and scrutinized Mo Wangchen from head to toe.

Recent news of the Piaomiao Palace Saint’s emergence had also caused great commotion in the land of Beiming. They hadn’t expected him to actually appear here.

"Do you have proof?" The leading maiden asked, frowning.

Naturally, they could not simply take Mo Wangchen’s word for it and imagine his identity.

Buzz!

With a smile, Mo Wangchen raised his palm, and in an instant, a faint white luminescence floated out from within his hand. Not only that, his body was also enveloped in a faint sheen, and his bearing underwent a transformation as well, becoming ethereal and detached.

"The Piaomiao Immortal Scripture!"

The three women expressed shock, and the leader quickly reacted, her eyes reflecting caution as she bowed slightly and said, "Please do not take offense, Saint. We three are under orders to guard here, to prevent the idle and common people from entering."

Mo Wangchen smiled, "No matter, I understand these rules."

With that, he proceeded towards the entrance of the Turquoise Pool Immortal Palace and walked in.

"I didn’t expect the Piaomiao Saint to come too. Nowadays, he is also a candidate on the Great Emperor’s list, right?" The three women watched the direction in which Mo Wangchen had left, and it took a long while before they regained their composure.
