Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 759 - 750: The Person in the Portrait

"This is..."

At the moment Mo Wangchen saw the portrait of the man, he couldn’t help but feel a tremor within his heart.

Because once within the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, he also saw a portrait like this one.

This painting was vivid and lifelike, with distinct facial contours, making the person in the painting seem alive.

The man’s brow exuded an overwhelming aura of invincibility, as if he looked down on all living beings. He was once the pride of the Human Clan, who in Ancient Times, single-handedly guarded the Heavenly Gang for tens of thousands of years.

"Immortal King Nangong Mie!" Not only Mo Wangchen, but also the other geniuses who had entered the hall recognized the person in the painting, who was indeed the founder of the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, Immortal King Nangong Mie!

"The Immortal King predecessor once served as the second honorary Dean of the Heavenly God Institute, bringing ten thousand years of peace to the Heavenly Gang All Living Beings."

While everyone was amazed and wondered why Nangong Mie’s painting was here, a faint voice suddenly came from the back of the hall.

Six Deans walked out side by side, their presence, although extremely well-concealed, still managed to impose a great sense of oppression on Mo Wangchen and the others.

"We pay our respects to the Dean!"

"We pay our respects to the six Deans!"

Mo Wangchen and Yun Yan, among others, spoke respectfully; in the presence of these six, no one dared to act disrespectfully.

"The first Saint Master was an honorary Dean of the Heavenly God Institute?" Mo Wangchen’s face showed surprise; not just him, including Leng Ziming, everyone wore the same astonished expression, evidently even he had never heard of this before.

"Hehe, many things from Ancient Times are little known to your generation, but within the Heavenly God Institute, we have extensive records; you will gradually come to know them in time."

Elder Tianluan stepped forward, as it was he who had just spoken.

"Predecessor, this portrait... who is this venerable figure from Ancient Times?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up, and upon hearing their words, everyone looked puzzledly in the direction they pointed, and their gaze fell upon another portrait.

This painting was particularly ancient, and at a glance, among all the paintings present, perhaps this one had existed the longest?

The man depicted was dressed in plain linen robes, giving off a very simple appearance. What was puzzling was that the man’s face was shrouded by a mist of Immortal Light, and even with the painting right before their eyes, the onlookers found it difficult to discern his true features.

"Um?"

Mo Wangchen laid eyes on the portrait and immediately furrowed his brows; for some reason, as soon as he saw the painting, a familiar sensation welled up inside him.

Yet he was absolutely certain that he could not possibly recognize the person, not to mention that this was a powerful individual from the Ancient Times.

"Why do I feel an almost irresistible urge to bow down before this painting?"

A talented individual from the Ancient Clan, specifically the Dragon Clan, with a particularly noble bloodline coursing through his veins—which not even the Demon God Clan’s bloodline could influence—spoke thusly.

Yet this was merely a painting, and he felt an inexplicable suppression coming from it, which left him astonished.

"Could it be some Ancient King from my Ancient Clan?" Another young king from the Ancient Clan speculated, his voice carrying the same sentiment. Even Ye Lang, at this moment, was filled with immense doubt, his brows tightly knitted; he too felt an indescribable force of suppression emanating from the man in the painting.

The other talents of the Human Clan looked at one another perplexed, intuitively knowing that this was not a king from any Ancient Clan because they, too, felt the same suppression.

"This is..."

Amidst the crowd’s murmurs of confusion, only the voice of Elder Tianxin resounded, "Ji Divine King!"

"Ji Divine King!"

"Is that the Divine King who descended upon the Heavenly Gang in Ancient Times?!"

The hearts of everyone present were shaken. Throughout the ages, when speaking of who was the most powerful in Heavenly Gang, it undoubtedly belonged to this Ji Divine King.

In Ancient Times, the Ancient Royal Family once dominated Heavenly Gang, unrivaled, oppressing the Human Clan to the point of breathlessness.

However, this situation was somewhat alleviated after the appearance of the Ji Divine King.

Because of this, the Ancient Royal Family felt the threat of the Human Clan’s growth, and several dozen Ancient Kings emerged together, slaying a son and a daughter of the Divine King.

From then on, the Divine King fell into madness, slaughtering countless beings of the Ancient Clan. Even those of the Ancient King level were beheaded by at least a hundred.

"Is this familiar feeling due to the Divine King Body..."

Within the crowd, Mo Wangchen whispered to himself, his heart trembling, unable to settle.

In front of the portrait of the Divine King, he could clearly feel the other’s past strength. This was a truly invincible figure in the world.

Moreover, for some reason, Mo Wangchen had a strange feeling that the face of the Divine King, shrouded in Immortal Light, was indiscernible.

However, Mo Wangchen felt as if the Divine King in the painting had come to life, with its gaze at this moment fixed on him, imparting an overwhelmingly oppressive feeling.

Finally, Mo Wangchen took a deep breath, averted his gaze, and ceased looking at the portrait of the Divine King.

It wasn’t just him; others felt the same. The longer they gazed upon the painting, the more they were burdened by its growing pressure. This was an awe imposed by a personage of Ancient Times, and even looking directly at the image was a kind of offense.

"The reason I had you all come today, you must have guessed what it is about, right?"

Elder Tianluan looked forward at Mo Wangchen and the others, smiling faintly as he spoke.

"What exactly is the Void Realm?" The curiosity in everyone’s hearts intensified. frёewebnoѵēl.com

This was the place where one could potentially obtain Divine Status, and no one could remain indifferent. Naturally, they were all deeply concerned about this so-called Void Realm.

"Within the Void Realm, each and every one of you here will have the chance to acquire Divine Status, but it is only a chance, after all. This so-called opportunity might be one hundred percent, or it might be one percent, or even, one in ten thousand probability."

Elder Tianxin spoke thusly.

"One in ten thousand probability?" Hearing this, shock appeared on everyone’s faces. Wasn’t this probability incredibly low?

Was obtaining Divine Status really so difficult?

"Saying one in ten thousand is even an overestimate. One in a hundred thousand, one in a million, might not even have it."

The crowd was speechless, all falling into silence, their minds filled with thoughts.

"I want to know, from Ancient Times until now, how many people within the Heavenly God Institute have obtained Divine Status in the Void Realm?" Ye Lang couldn’t help but ask.

Originally, he was determined to attain Divine Status, but having heard the words of the six Deans, his heart couldn’t help but become much more anxious.

"In Ancient Times, before Heaven and Earth changed, as long as one’s Cultivation reached the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they could receive Divine Status from heaven and thus succeed in Becoming God."

As everyone’s eyes were focused, Elder Tianxin spoke again, "But later on, Heaven and Earth underwent changes, and no Divine Status descended anymore. The Void Realm is a wondrous place, where one can still seek Divine Status, all depending on your own fortune. After the end of Ancient Times, our Heavenly God Institute had a total of eight people who obtained Divine Status there."
