Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 679 - 670: Arriving at Central State

Chapter 679: Chapter 670: Arriving at Central State

He thought in his heart.

Soon, Mo Wangchen stopped hesitating.

The essence blood entered his mouth, and he immediately began refining it.

Previously, in the Fallen Immortal Forest, Mo Wangchen had also obtained a drop of the Jiao Long’s essence blood.

Compared to that, the current drop he received was even more refined.

The effects were naturally much better.

...

The vast Central State was a place where the strong were like forests, a true land of dazzling prodigies.

The extent of Central State’s vastness was such that even combined, the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Immortal Domains were still slightly smaller.

The Human Clan prospered here the most, and similarly, the Ancient Royal Family emerged as the most powerful Ancient Clan of Central State.

Among these, merely the Sacred Lands numbered in the hundreds within this vast Central State.

Immortal Realm Great Powers were countless. It was rumored that many of the Saint Masters of these Sacred Lands had already stepped into the True Immortal Realm, making them the truly peerless Great Powers of their time.

Even Ancient Kings dared not provoke them.

In today’s world, there were no Heavenly Immortals, and the True Immortal was the supreme first person.

As this great era approached, who knew how many geniuses and monsters emerged? It was uncertain how many among the younger generation had hopes of stepping into the Heavenly Immortal, or even the Supreme Divine Realm.

In such an era, it was not hard to believe that within at most a hundred years, the entire Heavenly Gang’s power would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Compared to Central State, the happenings in the Northern Immortal Domain recently were at most small ripples.

Here, significant events happened daily, and clashes between prodigies were not uncommon. It was even not rare to see a Sacred Land wiped out from time to time, an occurrence that was no longer surprising in Central State.

...

In the south of Central State, Huashen City.

As its name suggested, it was rumored that in the distant ancient times, a supreme cultivator of the Human Clan achieved a transformation and attained the highest path in this city; thus, it was named.

Compared to the Northern Immortal Domain, Huashen City’s prosperity almost rivaled any ancient city in the Northern Immortal Domain.

Even in this vast Central State, it was considered a first-class cultivator city.

The place was bustling, with endless streams of cultivators arriving and departing daily.

Here, Immortal Realm Great Powers were not uncommon, and Emperor Realm experts were even more numerous like cow hair.

In the center of the city, there were numerous massive altars, all for the Teleportation Array.

Three days later, the sky above one of the altars suddenly fluctuated slightly.

Moments later, a figure in white slowly appeared alone; it was none other than Mo Wangchen.

"Worthy of the True Dragon Descendant, this drop of essence blood has brought my cultivation to the Peak of the Emperor Realm’s third level. I fear it won’t be long before I can attempt to break through to the fourth level."

After emerging from the Teleportation Array, Mo Wangchen exhaled first and muttered to himself.

Then his body slowly descended. Gazing around at the crowds coming and going, each with strong auras, the overall strength was clearly higher than the cultivators of the Northern Immortal Domain by several levels.

"So, this is Huashen City as described by the Pill Dissolution Sect Master..."

He murmured. The city was immense, with a population of tens of millions. The size of the entire metropolis was the largest Mo Wangchen had seen since his rebirth.

The city walls around Huashen City were a thousand feet high, stretching into the clouds, built to fend off monster beasts.

Unlike the Northern Immortal Domain, Central State was too vast, with many undeveloped areas. Thus, ancient monster beasts often appeared in the wilderness and mountains outside ancient cities.

Throughout ancient times, it wasn’t uncommon for these ancient cities to be flattened by monster beast attacks.

If powerful monster beasts appeared, it would be a formidable challenge even for a Sacred Land.

That’s why in Central State, it was not unusual to hear of a Sacred Land being wiped out, which was almost always caused by monster beasts.

These ancient monster beasts, unlike the Ancient Royal Family, did not evolve perfectly and possessed low spiritual wisdom, akin to that of a human child of a few years old.

Even so, their level of power was not to be underestimated. Some powerful monster beasts could deter even True Immortal Great Powers from confronting them head-on.

"No Four-leaf Ginseng?"

Mo Wangchen walked through Huashen City, arriving at the city’s largest herb-selling place. After inquiring, he found out there was no Four-leaf Ginseng here.

Huashen City’s level of prosperity, even in the entire Central State, could be considered first-class, yet even here there was no Four-leaf Ginseng. How could other places have it?

"I won’t hide it from you, my young friend, Four-leaf Ginseng is too rare. Many places don’t sell it, and some high-rank pills require it as a material to refine. Usually, once Four-leaf Ginseng is put up for sale, it’s quickly bought."

The housekeeper, seeing Mo Wangchen’s distinguished demeanor, personally attended to him and cautiously said.

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen frowned. It seemed a bit challenging to quickly enhance his strength using the Law Pill.

"By the way..."

Just as Mo Wangchen was about to leave, the housekeeper seemed to remember something and continued, "At tomorrow’s auction, it seems there will be a rare herb up for auction. Whether it is Four-leaf Ginseng, I am not sure. However, a lot of Alchemy Masters have rushed over after hearing the news."

"What auction?" Mo Wangchen asked curiously.

"At the Tianyuan Auction in the south of the city, there will be an auction tomorrow," the housekeeper replied.

"The Tianyuan Auction, huh..."

Mo Wangchen nodded, then cupped his hands toward the housekeeper, "Thank you!"

With that, he turned around and left the place.

Walking all the way toward the south of the city, after about a quarter of an hour, Mo Wangchen arrived at the Tianyuan Auction.

Due to the auction to be held tomorrow, many people were at the Tianyuan Auction today, seemingly probing for something.

"What assistance might you need, sir?"

A young servant approached to greet Mo Wangchen, wiping the sweat off his forehead, seemingly overwhelmed by the busy days.

"Has a list of auction items for tomorrow’s auction come out?" Mo Wangchen directly inquired, first wanting to clarify what the housekeeper referred to as the herb, and whether it was the Four-leaf Ginseng he’d been searching for.

"A list?"

Hearing this, the servant paused for a moment, then apologized with a full sense of remorse, "I’m sorry, but our Tianyuan Auction never provides lists before the auction begins. If you’d like to know what will be auctioned tomorrow, you’ll have to participate to find out..."

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen nodded, "Tomorrow’s auction, I wonder if there are any private rooms available on the second floor, give me one."

"Uh."

The servant was taken aback, scrutinizing Mo Wangchen from head to toe, then said, "The private rooms on the second floor can only be accessed with an invitation issued by our auction master and are not open to the public."

PS: Happy New Year, may you prosper, and stay healthy!
