Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 788 - 779: Ancestor God’s Statue

"This is..."

Walking into a grand square, Mo Wangchen involuntarily paused in his steps.

At this moment, the square was bustling with numerous disciples moving about, and some were gathered in small groups, discussing something or other.

On ordinary days, disciples of the Liuli Immortal Palace spent most of their time here when they weren’t engaged in cultivation.

Gazing across the square, Mo Wangchen discovered that at the center stood a colossal statue.

The statue depicted a man, towering a hundred zhang tall, with sharply defined features, a stern expression, and an indescribably majestic aura that involuntarily inspired a desire to pay homage.

Unconsciously, Mo Wangchen walked towards the statue. The figure stood with his hands clasped behind him, gazing up at the Heavenly Vault.

This statue, to Mo Wangchen, was far from unfamiliar; in fact, it was exceedingly familiar—it was none other than the Divine King, Ji Haoyi!

The statue radiated a sense of the vicissitudes of time, revealing its age to be incredibly vast.

The Divine King was Yueyue’s adoptive father, so it was no surprise to Mo Wangchen that his statue stood here.

However, seeing the Divine King’s Statue here after leaving the Void Realm caused a rush of emotions in Mo Wangchen.

Even a figure such as the Divine King couldn’t withstand the sorrow of time. What is it that we cultivators are truly seeking in this life?

"Who are you?!"

Just as Mo Wangchen raised his hand, intending to touch the statue before him, a sudden rebuke rang out not far from him.

The one speaking was a young man dressed in the distinctive garb of a Liuli Immortal Palace disciple, though his attire was different from that of ordinary disciples.

The average disciple wore white robes, but this man’s were a shade of greyish-white.

"This is the statue of our Liuli Immortal Palace’s Ancestor God. Even Liuli Immortal Palace disciples would not dare touch it without permission. Who are you, and how did you get into the Liuli Immortal Palace to presume to touch the Ancestor God’s Statue?"

The young man, named Zhou Qing, was no ordinary disciple. Judging from his attire, it was clear he held the status of a Senior Disciple.

The Liuli Immortal Palace, much like the Immortal Sect of Inquiry, had different lineages within the sect, and Zhou Qing was the Senior Disciple of one of those lineages, his status was noble, a step below only the Divine Sons.

"Ancestor God?"

Hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Mo Wangchen’s face showed a moment of surprise. "Do you know who he is?"

"What do you mean who he is? This is our Liuli Immortal Palace’s Ancestor God." Zhou Qing frowned. Truth be told, he too was unclear about the statue’s identity; it wasn’t just him—perhaps no one in the entire Liuli Immortal Palace knew, except for maybe the Saint Master.

But what was sure was that the man carved in this statue was indeed someone who had shown great kindness to the Liuli Immortal Palace, revered by the disciples as the Ancestor God.

Moreover, during significant events such as the inauguration of the New Divine Girl, it was the Sect Master himself who conducted the ceremony here, with the Ancestor God’s Statue as a witness.

This showed the immense significance the Divine King’s Statue held for the disciples of the Liuli Immortal Palace.

"Who is this person?"

"Even the Saint Master wouldn’t dare to come within three steps of the Ancestor God’s Statue. Approaching it is a sign of disrespect, and this person actually wants to touch it—he is far too bold."

Around the square, the disciples who were previously wandering had now been drawn over, their attention fully on Mo Wangchen.

"Senior Brother Zhou Qing is here today too, and he is most attentive to the sect rules. This person’s actions are disrespectful to the Ancestor God, so today, there could be quite a spectacle to witness."

Many disciples’ faces showed an expression of anticipating a good show and at the same time were curious, what exactly was Mo Wangchen’s identity? Generally speaking, it is quite difficult for disciples not from the Liuli Immortal Palace to enter the Sect.

Although Zhou Qing’s words were a bit aggressive and not very pleasant, Mo Wangchen didn’t take much offense because it also indicated the other party’s respect for the Divine King.

"I apologize, this is my first time visiting the Liuli Immortal Palace, and I am not very familiar with the rules here," he said.

Mo Wangchen felt very gratified internally because of the Liuli Immortal Palace’s profound respect towards the Divine King’s Statue.

"Which power’s offspring are you, and if you came with your elders, did they not instruct you before arriving not to wander alone within the Palace?" Zhou Qing asked again.

Mo Wangchen’s brow furrowed instantly. The other party was being overbearing, especially since he had already expressed his humility.

"There seems to be no need for me to inform you of my origins," Mo Wangchen replied indifferently.

"How dare you speak to Senior Brother Zhou Qing in such a manner!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Right after Mo Wangchen finished speaking, before Zhou Qing could say anything, several disciples behind him could not help but step forward.

Zhou Qing, as the Senior Disciple, was a high-ranking and influential figure in the entire Liuli Immortal Palace. Although he was not a Divine Son, he was almost comparable to one. In the younger generation of the Northern Immortal Domain, few dared to offend him.

And now, this guy who popped up from who-knows-where dared to speak to Zhou Qing like that—and in the Liuli Immortal Palace, no less. In some respects, this was an outright challenge to the Palace’s authority.

How could they tolerate this?

"It seems that this friend might also have some impressive background?" Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes.

Although he couldn’t consider himself a top genius, he was confident in his reputation among the young generation in the Northern Immortal Domain.

However, even after learning his name, Mo Wangchen still did not regard him highly, suggesting that the other party had something to rely on.

Could it be that he was also a Senior Disciple from some Sacred Land?

Facing Zhou Qing’s words, Mo Wangchen simply shook his head without any intention to explain.

He turned around, wanting to leave this place without further entanglement, as it was pointless.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Mo Wangchen was ignoring him, Zhou Qing’s face grew even more irate as he stepped in front to block Mo Wangchen’s path.

"Do you have anything else?" Mo Wangchen frowned slightly.

"Sir, you offended the Ancestor of the Liuli Immortal Palace earlier, and now you wish to just leave?" Zhou Qing said with a cold snort.

"I have made my explanation and have already apologized, what more do you want?"

"You can leave if you wish, just after you have taken one strike from me. No matter the result, I will let you go, how about it?" Zhou Qing said with a cold laugh.

"I have no interest in exchanging moves with you," Mo Wangchen stated plainly.

It was true; this Zhou Qing, although a Senior Disciple of the Liuli Immortal Palace with some fame in the Northern Immortal Domain, as of now, was no match for Mo Wangchen.

To put it bluntly, they were simply not on the same level.

"You dare not?" Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes.

"What’s going on?"

Suddenly, at this moment, two Divine Rainbows swooped in from the sky not too far away. It was none other than Jiang Yuhang and Bai Qing.
