Chapter 259: Chapter 250 Ore Vein

"If you ask me," the Zhou Family is just too narrow-minded. They stifled the Piaomiao Saint Heir in his cradle before he had the chance to grow up. In a way, the Zhou Family Ancestor feared that once the Divine King Physique reached Great Achievement, it would dominate its peers, and Little Peng King Zhou Tong would end up merely as a stepping stone on his path to Emperor Road."

"Rumors say that when the two Saint Venerables clashed that day, the ground within a hundred miles of the Zhou Family collapsed three feet. In the end, had the Zhou Family not used an Emperor Weapon, they would have been slaughtered clean by the Piaomiao Saint Venerable."

"The wrath of a Saint Venerable, who else in our time could withstand it? The Spiritual Body of the Zhou Family Ancestor was slain, his cultivation was greatly reduced, and then the Piaomiao Saint Venerable came seeking him out. It is heard that during that battle, the Zhou Family Ancestor burned his lifespan to summon the Emperor Weapon, and though he repelled the Piaomiao Saint Venerable, it is said that the Emperor Weapon of the Zhou Family has also cracked, its power greatly diminished. Most importantly, there are now rumors spreading that the Zhou Family Ancestor is on the brink of silence and obliteration!"

...

After purchasing the necessary medicinal ingredients, Mo Wangchen left Liusu City. His Spirit Sea had recovered, but since the Piaomiao Saint Venerable had already departed and he couldn’t get in contact, he feared that by now he must have entered the Emperor Fallen Mountain Range, right?

In the time that followed, Mo Wangchen, besides absorbing Source Power, spent most of his time circulating the Piaomiao Immortal Scripture, with Qi Gathering Pills as an aid, to cultivate.

He had also considered whether he might lead Yaoyao onto the path of cultivation, but soon found that Yaoyao’s body inherently possessed a Spirit Sea as solid as rock and she simply could not cultivate.

Hence, Mo Wangchen gave up on this idea, as Yaoyao’s identity was mysterious and couldn’t be clarified any time soon.

Until, three months later...

The Piaomiao Saint Venerable still hadn’t returned, and Mo Wangchen’s worries grew by the day, yet he felt helpless. He was well aware that once one enters the Emperor Fallen Mountain Range, it’s a matter of life and death; countless heroes’ bones have been buried there since time immemorial.

Even Great Emperors have fallen there; he could only hope that the Piaomiao Saint Venerable would return safely.

Over the course of three months, Mo Wangchen absorbed the power of Source Stones daily and continued his cultivation with the Piaomiao Immortal Scripture. Now, his cultivation had already recovered to the nine peaks of the Returning Ruins Realm!

"The Source Stones are running low, but thankfully my cultivation has recovered. The Heaven and Earth Source Power contained within the Source Stones is extremely pure and greatly aids in cultivation. Moreover, for some reason, after absorbing that Source Power, I feel my Spirit Sea has become much more stable, with Spiritual Power continuously emerging in essence, tempering my body."

"Throughout the ages, every type of physique has distinctions of Small Success and Great Achievement. After absorbing that Source Power, my Heavenly Dao Body has awakened and now has reached the Small Success Realm. If I’m not mistaken, Wu Lingfeng’s Divine Body should also be at Small Success."

"Once the Divine Body reaches Great Success, it will sweep across its peers, unmatched by anyone. Although I possess the Divine King Physique, it is only at a Small Success Realm for now. If a genius like Wu Lingfeng were to reach Great Achievement of his physique, the advantage of my Divine King Physique would be gone. It seems I must not relax in tempering the Heavenly Dao Body; I must refine it to the Great Achievement Realm before those others!"

"Furthermore, my cultivation is too low. I haven’t even stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm, while geniuses like Wu Lingfeng, Zhou Tong, Lin Jing, and Qiu Chengye have all reached the Creation Realm, which is an entire major Realm above mine. If I don’t quickly improve my cultivation, I’ll be unable to compete with them."

"Source Stones can not only temper my Heavenly Dao Body but also greatly help my cultivation. However, nowadays, there are hardly any Source Stones left in the Piaomiao Palace..."

As he said this, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but sigh. Source Stones are excellent, but even Ancient Martial families and Hidden Sects don’t have much of it. Whether the Heavenly Dao Body can reach Great Achievement at the fastest speed also depends on having a sufficient supply of Source Stones.

Several more days went by, and the Source Stones were completely absorbed, and the Qi Gathering Pills had also been used up.

Mo Wangchen planned to go out once more to purchase medicinal materials to concoct Qi Gathering Pills.

This time during his outing, he learned of an astonishing piece of news.

During the three months that he had been secluded in the Piaomiao Palace, something significant had happened in the Beiming Lands that sent everyone into a frenzy.

"At first, the emergence of the Saint Venerable Tomb from the Jinyang Domain was a matter of concern, although the tomb concealed itself beneath the surface of the earth, the fissure did not close, but instead grew increasingly larger."

"Over at the Heavenly Martial Domain, an Ancient Kunpeng tore through the earth to emerge, and the crevice there also failed to seal. It’s been nearly half a year now, and the two places have somehow become connected!"

The place where the Kunpeng emerged in the Heavenly Martial Domain and the location where the Yaochi Saintess’s Ancient Tomb appeared, the two vast lands had their earth torn apart, and as time went by, they ended up connecting.

By now, the ground had already been ripped apart, and the chasm spanning two domains was massive, with numerous Ancient Alien Species swarming out, accompanied by the emergence of Ancient Holy Weapons!

Once the news spread, the Beiming Lands were in complete turmoil. All parties mobilized, converging between the Heavenly Martial Domain and the Jinyang Domain, eager to investigate what kind of force lay beneath the crevice that could stretch it so vast.

Leading the vanguard were the powerful experts from Hidden Sects and Ancient Martial families such as Yaochi Immortal Palace, Daluo Heaven Sect, the Zhou Family, the Wu Family, the Qiu Family, and the Lin Family. They assembled a large number of masters to enter and explore.

Despite encountering a fierce attack by a horde of Ancient Alien Species, resulting in heavy casualties, eventually, they also spread a shocking piece of news.

"There is a Source Stone Vein beneath that fissure?!"

"Xuantian Sect employed an Emperor Weapon to delve into the depths of the fissure. Rumors have it that they saw a vast amount of Source Stones buried within. And now, all parties speculate that there exists a Source Stone Vein beneath that crevice!"

"Is that true? The Source Stones contain the essence of Heaven and Earth Source Power, and even just absorbing one could benefit infinitely. It’s crazy to think that an actual vein has been discovered!"

"That day, Xuantian Sect utilized an Emperor Weapon and ventured deep underground, but after descending to a certain depth, the Emperor Weapon suddenly developed cracks, frightening them into a hasty retreat. It is said that at the very bottom, aside from the Source Stone Vein, there exists some terrifying entity or some kind of mysterious force that not even an Emperor Weapon could withstand!"

"It’s such a pity, to have a Source Stone Vein right before our eyes, and yet be unable to obtain it?"

"Not necessarily!" someone shook their head, "The various Hidden Sects and Ancient Martial families plan to use Emperor Weapons collectively, determined to dig deep beneath the earth and extract the vein. Now, the Qiu Family, Xuantian Sect, and Yaochi Immortal Palace have already brought out their Emperor Weapons. Perhaps it won’t be long before these forces make their move!"

"Nowadays, both the Heavenly Martial Domain and the Jinyang Domain are overcrowded; everyone is waiting for these forces to take action, hoping to get a share of the spoils!"

After learning this news, Mo Wangchen immediately rushed back to the Piaomiao Palace, as he had already decided to join in on the excitement.

With his Face Changing Technique, he could alter his appearance and remain unrecognized, plus the allure of the Source Stones for him was simply too great!
