Lingdong Peak, Mo Wangchen’s residence.
At this moment, he sat cross-legged beneath the large tree in the courtyard.
There was a brilliant light emanating from around him, flickering like stars in the night sky.
No one knew how much time had passed when he suddenly opened his eyes.
Bright and unparalleled light flashed in his eyes, causing a holy light to burst from his body, stirring an overwhelming momentum.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled, "Why is it that when I comprehend the Immortal Seal of Inquiry, I don’t feel the slightest hindrance?"
"Now, only half a day has passed, and I’ve already successfully comprehended the Holy Yang Seal, one of the Seven Seals..."
As he spoke, Mo Wangchen stood up from where he was, his body rising into the air, his eyes shining brightly as he looked towards a small hill not far from the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard gate, Fu Jingyan awoke from his meditation, looking at Mo Wangchen in mid-air, with a slight look of bewilderment on his face.
He watched as Mo Wangchen extended a hand, then transformed it into a palm, pressing down slowly.
A tremendous noise erupted as a dazzling, sky-covering hand appeared above the small hill, like a bright sun, descending with supreme divine grace in the blink of an eye.
The small hill crumbled instantly, leveled to the ground!
The earth trembled with a constant rumble, and the scene just now was as if the bright sun had fallen, crushing the hill entirely. The power of the sight made Fu Jingyan outside the courtyard gate feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
"What terrifying power..."
His heart quaked. Although he knew Mo Wangchen’s combat power was remarkable, he had rarely seen him in action.
That strike earlier was evidently not weaker than an average third or fourth-tier Emperor Realm expert.
"This seal technique contains the might of the bright sun, unimaginably scorching, yet it seems to be the weakest of the seven seals..."
In mid-air, Mo Wangchen’s eyes shone brightly. The Immortal Seal of Inquiry, within the whole Immortal Sect of Inquiry, had only been comprehended by the Saint Master, and even he had only understood two of the Seven Seals.
Yet he, in less than half a day, had comprehended the Holy Yang Seal.
Was it not said that the difficulty of cultivating this seal was exceedingly high?
Why did Mo Wangchen not feel this way?
"Could it be related to my Divine King Body?"
Mo Wangchen frowned, puzzled, having learned from Elder Beixuan that the Divine King Body possessed some secrets, seemingly connected to the current Saint Master.
Could it be that his ability to easily cultivate the Holy Yang Seal was also due to the Divine King Body?
"The Immortal Seal of Inquiry, among the seven seal techniques, the Holy Yang Seal is the weakest. This seal comes with the might of the bright sun, I wonder how the other six seals will differ..."
Thinking this way, Mo Wangchen licked his lips. In that previous strike, he hadn’t used his full strength, applying only thirty percent of his cultivation power, yet it was comparable to a typical third or fourth-tier expert of the Emperor Realm.
One could imagine, if full power were exerted, how terrifying the might would be?
Moreover, this was merely the weakest of the seven seal techniques. If all seven seals could be cultivated successfully...
"This seal technique could become a major trump card for me, but now, without proving the Emperor, any means will be significantly reduced."
"It seems I must attempt to reach the Emperor Realm as soon as possible..."
Saying this, Mo Wangchen slowly descended, arriving at the courtyard gate.
Fu Jingyan saw him walk out and hurriedly approached, respectfully waiting for instructions.
"I need some medicinal herbs; you should go down the mountain to Wangxian City and buy some for me."
Mo Wangchen looked at Fu Jingyan, then took out some Spirit Stones and handed them to him.
Fu Jingyan was momentarily stunned, taking the Spirit Stones subconsciously, roughly counting them, there were more than a hundred thousand!
He was a bit dumbfounded. More than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones were not insignificant for an average disciple. Usually, each disciple would receive only a few thousand monthly from the sect; a hundred thousand was equivalent to what one could obtain over two or three years.
And these Spirit Stones were for purchasing medicinal herbs. Alchemy, indeed, was an extremely extravagant endeavor.
"Alchemists really are a bunch of wealthy guys..."
He thought to himself. Just purchasing medicinal herbs required so many Spirit Stones. It was hard to imagine the wealth possessed by these people skilled in alchemy.
Fu Jingyan had, of course, heard about Mo Wangchen’s expertise in alchemy. During the battle of Silver City, his dual mastery of alchemy and martial arts spread throughout the Northern Immortal Domain.
Rumor had it that Mo Wangchen’s perception reached the Holy Rank, and his achievements as a Holy Rank Alchemist were rare in the entire Northern Immortal Domain.
Mo Wangchen then wrote down a list of medicinal herbs and handed it to Fu Jingyan, instructing him to go and return quickly.
After Fu Jingyan left, Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged again in the courtyard, continuing to comprehend the Immortal Seal of Inquiry.
Now, Mo Wangchen was already at the eighth Heaven of the Saint Venerable Realm, not too far from breaking into the Emperor Realm. The medicinal herbs he asked Fu Jingyan to purchase were actually meant to refine a Pill known as the Proving Emperor Pill.
This pill could increase the success rate of reaching the Emperor Realm by thirty percent, surpassing the Fuling Lotus he picked in the Emperor Fallen Mountain Range by twenty percent.
The Fuling Lotus was a Holy Medicine of the current age, able to increase the success rate of reaching the Emperor Realm by ten percent, and one of the main ingredients in the Proving Emperor Pill was the Fuling Lotus.
"When I auctioned three Dao Heart Pills, I received eighteen million Spirit Stones, enough to support me to the peak of the ninth Heaven of the Saint Venerable Realm. Then I can attempt to break into the Emperor Realm in one go. With a Proving Emperor Pill as an aid, I have at least a ninety percent chance of success!"
Mo Wangchen murmured. It had been so long; it was time to strive for the Emperor Realm cultivation.
In this vast and uncharted Northern Immortal Domain, strength was the ultimate respect; potential was important but strength was fundamental.
Currently, in this Immortal Sect of Inquiry, although he was sufficiently safe, he would eventually leave. The enmity between him and the Wind Thunder Valley was relentless, and the higher his cultivation, the more security it provided him.
"I wonder how Qin Yue is doing, whether she has begun to comprehend the second law."
"It seems, once I successfully reach the Emperor Realm, it’s time to visit the Flower Fairy Palace..."
Thinking of Qin Yue, Mo Wangchen felt a sense of reflection. She was cutting ties with the past, truly severing previous bonds, and since Brotherhood brought them together, they must meet one last time.
With these thoughts, he entered the state of comprehension again, continuing to grasp the second seal technique, the Hunyuan Seal!
Compared to the Holy Yang Seal, comprehending the Hunyuan Seal was significantly more challenging. However, for Mo Wangchen, it was not an insurmountable obstacle.
According to his estimation, it would take only a day or two to comprehend the Hunyuan Seal.
"This seal holds the might of the Hunyuan, powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth. I wonder to what extent its power will reach..."
