Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 886 - 877: Cause and Effect

"Arrow Domain..."

This is the second stage of the Divine King Arrow Technique.

Based on integrating the great forces of Heaven and Earth, one can also incorporate the power of laws.

The more power of laws that is integrated, the stronger the potency.

The convergence of great forces and law power forms a self-domain, known as the Arrow Domain!

However, compared to the first stage’s arrow formation, the second stage is even harder to control.

For ordinary people, invoking the great forces of Heaven and Earth may not be difficult, but to integrate them within oneself and transform them into one’s own force to strike and harm an enemy, it requires exceptionally powerful concentration to achieve this.

And based on this foundation, if one wishes to further call upon the law power perceived by oneself, naturally, it would be even more difficult.

However, to Mo Wangchen’s relief, he internally estimated that mastering the Arrow Domain of the second stage would be much simpler for him compared to ordinary people.

"The third stage of the Divine King Arrow Technique requires the archer himself to have cultivated the Divine King Heavenly Subduing Technique to comprehend!"

Mo Wangchen murmured to himself. The first two stages were not extraordinarily difficult, but the third stage already made many people balk.

The power of the Divine King, the Heavenly Subduing Technique, is successful only when the cultivator possesses the extraordinary physique known as the Divine King Body.

With the combination of these two conditions, it can be said that, from ancient times to the present, there might not be many who have successfully comprehended the third stage of the Divine King Arrow Technique.

"There is a predetermined order in the mysteries of fate..."

Mo Wangchen raised his head and mused, his eyes gleaming with strange lights. He found that all of this was too coincidental.

First, he acquired the Heavenly Subduing Bow, and then he obtained the Divine King Arrow Technique. Coincidentally, the third stage of the Divine King Arrow Technique requires individuals who have mastered the Divine King Heavenly Subduing Technique to comprehend it.

And he just happened to cultivate the Divine King Heavenly Subduing Technique!

"In the third stage, one must harness the might of the Divine King Heavenly Subduing Technique, integrating the great forces of Heaven and Earth, the power of laws, merging three types of power into one, and with one arrow, it destroys Heaven and Earth!"

Mo Wangchen’s eyes gleamed with brilliance. It’s not hard to imagine that if these three powers merged into one and formed an arrow, one can only imagine the boundless power this arrow would possess.

Ancient records describe beings with supreme powers in ancient times who could pluck stars and seize the moon, and there was once a person who shot down a celestial body with a Divine Bow.

The identity of this person remains unknown to the world, but the ancient records certainly document this event.

A celestial body represents a plane; it is a world, equivalent to the Heavenly Gang!

To annihilate it with a single arrow, one can imagine how powerful this individual was. In ancient times, countless outstanding figures amazed the world, but time is merciless; no matter how extraordinary you are, eventually, you must be buried in Heaven and Earth. Over the long passage of time, even records preserved in ancient texts are likely to be lost.

"A blade of grass is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi, a smile is a mortal bond, a single thought brings tranquility."

"What we cultivators pursue is ultimately just emptiness..."

Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but sigh. Cultivators seek the Heavenly Dao, exploring immortality, but does true immortality exist in the world?

Even a generation of Divine Kings cannot endure indefinitely. The Seven Sages have lived for thousands of years, but ultimately, don’t they also fall to the dust of time?

"Buddha speaks of the beginning and end as cause and effect; the creation of all things in the world has its cause, and thus bears its fruit, this is the beginning and the end."

"Yet..."

"Shakyamuni traversed millennia of reincarnation without perishing, this is no fruit, no end."

"Cultivators pursue immortality, but from ancient times to now, who can attain true immortality?"

"This is a path of no return, yet all beings continually choose to tread upon it. Do the so-called ends and fruits truly exist?"

Mo Wangchen murmured, as he seemed to have gained some understanding, the more he thought, the more insignificant he felt his existence was.

For the entire world, even the current Seven Sages are likely just inconspicuous entities.

"Where did the world come from, and what will cause its destruction?"

This may be the supreme mystery that a cultivator should devote a lifetime to exploring.

"Thump thump thump!"

Mo Wangchen was immersed in such a state, unaware that two days had already passed.

Outside the room, there came a gentle knock on the door, followed by a voice, "Master Ji, tomorrow is the day of the examination. Tonight, the alliance will hold a banquet, inviting all the alchemists participating in the examination. I wonder if you are interested in attending?"

"Banquet?"

Mo Wangchen was slightly stunned, then got out of bed, opened the door, and glanced at the sky, unexpected that it was already evening.

"Alright then, no harm in going to have a look." Mo Wangchen said.

"Okay, I’ll arrange it for you. Also, for tomorrow’s examination, the alliance will provide the herbs. I wonder what kind of Pill Master Ji intends to refine; I need to collect the list of required herbs for refining now, so that the alliance can prepare." The servant respectfully said.

Mo Wangchen nodded, then turned back into the room, took out paper and pen, and swiftly listed the herbs needed.

"This..."

With the list in hand, the servant took a quick glance, and his face couldn’t help but show difficulty, "Master Ji, most herbs on the list are available, but about the essence blood..."

"You can go. I have the essence blood prepared myself." Mo Wangchen waved his hand.

He intended to refine a pill called ’Creation Profound Pill,’ a type of pill that aids in the improvement of cultivation. One of its main ingredients is the essence blood of ancient strange beasts.

The stronger the energy contained in the essence blood, the better the pill’s effects. This pill is of Holy Rank, but it does not have grades because it depends on the strength of the essence blood and the energy retained after the pill is formed for grading.

Just recently, Mo Wangchen acquired a drop of Kunpeng Essence Blood, using this examination opportunity, he plans to fuse the essence blood into the Creation Profound Pill and refine it.

"Okay, the banquet will be held in an hour, the venue is on the second floor of the Pill Tower, and many people have already arrived there, if Master Ji has nothing else, you may go now."

After saying this, the servant took his leave.

Mo Wangchen quickly washed up and changed into a brand new white robe. About a quarter-hour later, he walked out of his room and courtyard.

On the sprawling square, surrounded by numerous buildings all belonging to the Alchemist Alliance, some structures exuded an aura of antiquity, likely having existed for a long time. It’s easy to imagine that these buildings might house many precious and rare herbs.

Currently, many figures were moving within the square, all heading in the same direction. These were all alchemists about to participate in the examination, and the direction they were heading in was naturally the central area of the Alchemist Alliance, where the Pill Tower is located.

"There are quite a few robust perceptions present..."

Mo Wangchen proceeded with the crowd, raising his eyes, and casting his gaze on the distant Pill Tower ahead. His perception was released, and he could clearly sense that within the Pill Tower, there were several perceptions reaching the level of Holy Rank second or even third grade.

These should be the high-ranking members of the Alchemist Alliance, characters like the Alliance Hierarch.
