Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 791 - 782: Entering Liuli Lake
Chapter 791: Chapter 782: Entering Liuli Lake
"The Liuli Saint Master, being the Divine King’s foster daughter, I didn’t say that wrong, did I?" Mo Wangchen spoke again.
His brows slightly furrowed as a terrifying Immortal Might burst uncontrollably from the body of the Liuli Saint Master, instantly making the atmosphere of the scene become solemn.
Even with Mo Wangchen’s current Cultivation, under this aura, he couldn’t help but have his breathing slightly constricted. freёweɓnovel.com
"It seems you know quite a lot," the Liuli Saint Master soon completely retracted her aura.
Her gaze fell on Mo Wangchen, her eyes slightly narrowed, feeling increasingly curious about the man before her.
"Elder, you must have also heard that soon, I will be heading to the Demon God Clan’s territory to rescue my friend. My coming to the Immortal Palace is to enter the lake bottom and meet with the former Saint Master," Mo Wangchen stated plainly.
"How can you be sure that the former Saint Master still has lingering thoughts existing at the lake’s bottom?" the Liuli Saint Master asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I can’t be certain, but since I’ve come all this way, I suppose I have to make the trip, right?" Mo Wangchen also smiled.
"Oh?"
The Liuli Saint Master’s curiosity deepened on her face, "Even if the former Saint Master still has lingering thoughts, what do you intend to do once you see her?"
"Are you expecting the former Saint Master to come out from the lake bottom to help you deal with the Demon God Clan?"
Although Mo Wangchen possessed the Divine King Body, after all, there was not a trace of Ji Family blood in him, and apart from having the same physique, he had no other connection with the ancient Divine King.
The former Saint Master couldn’t possibly help Mo Wangchen for such reasons.
Faced with the Liuli Saint Master’s questions, Mo Wangchen did not explain, he looked at her, silent.
"Alright, since you insist on making the trip, it’s not impossible."
Finally, the Liuli Saint Master spoke like this and then stood up from the cushion, telling Mo Wangchen, "Follow me."
The two walked outside the hall, where Jiang Yuhang and Bai Qing respectfully waited in place. Seeing the Liuli Saint Master emerge, they quickly approached, "Master."
"I’ll take him to the lake bottom; you don’t need to follow."
The Liuli Saint Master commanded, then glanced at Mo Wangchen again. She waved her hand through the void, creating a gust of wind that enveloped her and Mo Wangchen and instantly disappeared from the spot.
Mo Wangchen felt a moment of bewilderment, but it was just for an instant. When he regained his consciousness, he found that he and the Liuli Saint Master had already arrived outside the gates of the Immortal Palace.
The two floated in midair, standing above Liuli Lake, the transparent water still instilling an inexplicable sense of fear.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled slightly, and the Liuli Saint Master waved her sleeves through the void. The next moment, the previously calm surface of the lake started to ripple.
"Splash!"
Suddenly, the surface of the lake split in two, revealing a bottomless fissure.
"Follow me," the Liuli Saint Master said, then darted toward the split lake surface.
Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brows but didn’t hesitate too much and followed behind her.
The deeper they went, the colder the surrounding chill became, as if plunging into a realm of icy snow.
The visibility was dim at the lake bottom, and Mo Wangchen could not see the surroundings clearly. He followed the Liuli Saint Master down, unsure of how much time had passed.
Finally, he saw a dim light glowing not far below.
Moments later, when they finally drew close, Mo Wangchen realized that this so-called light was actually emitted by an ancient palace.
This was a Crystal Palace, submerged under the lake for who knows how long.
"This palace is the burial place of the Liuli Saint Master."
When the two arrived in front of the Crystal Palace, the Liuli Saint Master stood in front of the palace gate, first addressing Mo Wangchen, then slightly bowing and calling into the palace, "The hundred and thirty-second disciple, Dongfang Mingyun, has disturbed the Ancestral Master’s Divine Soul, and seeks the Ancestral Master’s forgiveness."
With those words, the tightly closed palace doors swung open as if pushed by a pair of invisible hands.
"Follow me inside."
The Liuli Saint Master glanced at Mo Wangchen, her expression slightly stern, a change from her usual demeanor.
The two entered the Crystal Palace on foot, and upon seeing the grand and surging scene inside, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but feel shaken.
The entire palace was a display of luxury, with many precious Crystal Stones embedded in the rock walls around, emitting a cold chill. It wasn’t hard for Mo Wangchen to feel that the primary reason why Liuli Lake was cold all year round might be due to these stones.
Venturing deeper into the palace, they finally stopped in front of an Ice Coffin, which continually emitted an icy aura, growing piercingly colder as they drew nearer.
"What disturbs my sleep?"
Suddenly, a ghostly voice emanated from within the Ice Coffin, sending chills down the spine.
The Liuli Saint Master immediately knelt down, "Disciple Dongfang Mingyun..."
She briefly explained the reason for their visit, and in truth, even as the current Saint Master, she did not dare to enter this place frequently but only once every thousand years.
It had only been a few hundred years since her last visit, and coming earlier this time, she inevitably risked angering the Ancestral Master.
"A Divine King Body?"
After hearing the Liuli Saint Master’s words, Immortal Sound once again emanated from within the Ice Coffin, resonating with an unusual fluctuation.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the Void trembled slightly, and in the next moment, a faint silhouette appeared slowly above the Immortal Coffin.
This figure was semi-transparent, seeming as if it could vanish at any time. It was a woman, whose face felt unfamiliar to Mo Wangchen, but he sensed a vaguely familiar aura about her.
This aura was the same as the one he had felt when he first met Yueyue in the Void Realm.
This made Mo Wangchen absolutely certain that the woman before him was indeed the Liuli Saint Master, Liuli Yue!
"My sworn brother was ambushed, causing my adoptive father to fall into demonism, slaughtering all kings of the Ancient Clan. Eventually, he destroyed his own Divine Thought, wishing to enter the Netherworld to help my sworn brother reincarnate. The Divine King Body also completely vanished from the world at that time. Could it be that, after millions of years, another Divine King Body has appeared..."
Liuli Yue, dressed in white, her form ethereal, hovered above the Ice Coffin, her gaze turning towards Mo Wangchen.
"Yueyue..."
Mo Wangchen knew the first part of what she said, but he had never heard the latter half.
Yet now, the most urgent task for Mo Wangchen was to ascertain if she recognized him.
Hearing Mo Wangchen address the Saint Master by her nickname, the Liuli Saint Master beside him was momentarily stunned, shocked that Mo Wangchen would dare to openly call the Ancestral Master by her nickname, considering it quite bold.
Not only the Liuli Saint Master but Liuli Yue herself also frowned, her face showing a trace of anger.
"Do you still recognize me?" Mo Wangchen asked again, his gaze fixed on her.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Liuli Yue’s frown deepened, her eyes slightly squinting and continuously fixating on Mo Wangchen.
After a while, as if she realized something, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and even her voice trembled slightly, "You... you are... Brother Mo?"
