Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Mo Wangchen's parting words, Mo Cheng couldn't help but snort dismissively, not taking them to heart. He sneered, "Trash will always be trash, full of false profundity!"

"Let's go. Today, Zhang Hao of the Zhang Family from Jianye City has come to our Fangtian City to invite the younger generation of the various major families. Being Fangtian City's number one genius, it would not be good to arrive late," Mo Cheng said. Then he led several Mo Family disciples away from the location.

And the Zhang Hao he mentioned was indeed the top genius of the Zhang Family in Jianye City, whose cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, just one step away from entering the Spirit Transformation Realm!

This person's talent was incomparably stronger than Mo Cheng's, so naturally, he did not dare to be negligent!

And today, Master Lin Qing of the Alchemy Pavilion was invited to perform alchemy in Jianye City—specifically for the Zhang Family. The Spirit Transformation Pill that had caused his furnace to explode was also concocted for Zhang Hao!

Currently, Zhang Hao, just like Mo Wangchen, was eighteen years old. However, his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, just one step away from the Spirit Transformation Realm.

To reach such a realm at this age made Zhang Hao somewhat famous throughout Yun Country. Yet, compared to Jun Muqing, Zhang Hao still fell short, as after all, Jun Muqing had reached the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and during his time in the Vein Condensation Realm, he had condensed three Spirit Veins; Zhang Hao, however, only had two...

After returning to the Mo Family, Mo Wangchen went straight into his own room and closed the door.

Deep into the night, a muffled sound emanated from within the room. At this moment, Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged on the large bed, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and moreover, the entire room was filled with a nauseating stench!

On Mo Wangchen's soaked white clothing, large patches of black viscous liquid had been expelled from his body.

These were the impurities that had been expelled from his body after swallowing a Body Tempering Pill!

Whew!

It was unclear how much time had passed before Mo Wangchen finally awoke from his closed-eyed meditation. He slowly exhaled a breath and muttered to himself, "Worthy of the Heavenly Dao Body, after the impurities were expelled, I clearly feel that the pores all over my body seem to be absorbing Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth at all times. My cultivation speed is at least several times faster than that of ordinary people!"

Soon, Mo Wangchen fetched some clean water, washed off the filth on his body, changed into clean clothes, and eagerly entered into a state of cultivation.

Of course, the cultivation method he was practicing was not the common cultivation method of the Tian Nan Continent, but rather a method from his previous life. Because the cultivation methods of this world simply could not stimulate a Divine Body like the Heavenly Dao Body, otherwise, the previous Mo Wangchen would not have become someone unable to store Spiritual Energy—a waste.

Hum!

Once Mo Wangchen entered the state, he could clearly feel the endless Spiritual Energy around him rushing toward him at an extremely fast speed, all being absorbed into his meridians.

Once the Spiritual Energy within his meridians reached a saturated state, he could attempt to break through to the Vein Condensation Realm and condense Spirit Veins within his body!

This was not something that could be achieved overnight. Generally speaking, it would take at least several months of seated meditation and cultivation for a person at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm to possess enough Spiritual Power to attempt breaking through to the Vein Condensation Realm, and those with lesser talents might need even longer.

But Mo Wangchen was different. His current body was the Heavenly Dao Body, one of the three great Divine Bodies from his previous life, and his talents were far beyond what ordinary people could compare.

According to his own estimation, just a month of cultivation would be enough for him to attempt breaking through to the Vein Condensation Realm!

"The Heavenly Dao Body is simply too terrifying, isn't it? The speed at which it absorbs Spiritual Energy is already several times that of ordinary people, but after more than an hour, although my meridians have stored a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy, it hasn't even reached one ten-thousandth..."

An hour later, Mo Wangchen woke up from his cultivation state, his face showing a bit of astonishment.

Based on the cultivation speed of ordinary people, sitting in meditation for an hour should have resulted in reaching one ten-thousandth, yet with the Heavenly Dao Body, which should cultivate several times faster than normal, he hadn't stored even one ten-thousandth of Spiritual Energy?!

"Although it's somewhat unexpected, this might not be a bad thing. At the very least, it proves that my meridians can store much more Spiritual Energy than ordinary people. When the time comes to challenge the Vein Condensation Realm, the Spirit Veins I will form should also be plentiful..."

Thinking this way, a hint of joy couldn't help but appear in Mo Wangchen's eyes.

In his past life, in the realm of martial arts, his talent was mediocre. When he reached the Vein Condensation Realm, he only condensed a single Spirit Vein like most cultivators.

But now, things were different. With the Heavenly Dao Body, he was confident that upon breaking through the Vein Condensation Realm, he would be able to condense more than three Spirit Veins, perhaps even more!

"Heh, when Jun Muqing reached the Vein Condensation Realm, she only managed to condense three Spirit Veins, right? If I surpass your achievement and reappear before you, what kind of expression will you have then..."

"In one month's time, it will be the day Yun Chu Academy recruits disciples. Before that, I must reach the Vein Condensation Realm's cultivation. If I can't even pass the most basic test, how can I talk about redeeming my past shame?"

"And that Mo Cheng... Although I have no intention of entangling with him, given that we are both from the Mo Family, I don't mind giving him a setback to prevent him from bringing trouble upon the family due to his ignorance of the vastness of Heaven and Earth in the future. Although within a month, I can't reach Mo Cheng's level, stepping into the sixth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, with the Heavenly Dao Body and the past life's cultivation techniques, even if I am only at the first level of the Vein Condensation Realm, I might not necessarily be inferior to Mo Cheng..."

"One month..."

Mo Wangchen muttered to himself, determination flashing in his eyes, "It seems I need to visit the Alchemy Pavilion to purchase some medicinal herbs to refine some Qi Condensing Pills to speed up my cultivation!"

With that said, Mo Wangchen closed his eyes and once again entered into the state of cultivation!

Meanwhile, in the Alchemy Pavilion, Lin Qing walked shoulder to shoulder with a young swordsman and laughed, "Young Master Zhang, how did you find tonight's banquet with the talents of Fangtian City?"

This young man was none other than Jianye City's number one genius, Zhang Hao!

It was evident from Zhang Hao's face that he held the pride of a genius, yet his character was not as arrogant as other geniuses'.

"Other than Mo Cheng from the Mo Family, there were hardly any noteworthy individuals. I had thought Fangtian City might produce someone who could interest me in a match..."

Zhang Hao shook his head with a sigh, a trace of regret showing on his face.

He was exceptionally talented and belligerent by nature, but among his peers, there had yet to be anyone who could truly pique his interest.

"Haha, Fangtian City is one of the smallest cities in Yun Country. In scale, it is far behind Jianye City, so it's natural that no geniuses would emerge. Master Zhang, you are so young yet you have already reached the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm. This year, you've been handpicked for admission to Yun Chu Academy – there, you should be able to find an opponent..."

Master Lin Qing smiled. As a second-grade alchemist, he held high status and significant influence, but at this moment, he was treating Zhang Hao as an equal because of Zhang Hao's current talent, which promised extraordinary achievements in the future.

"Master Lin Qing speaks the truth. Yun Chu Academy is indeed the cradle of geniuses. Even someone like myself is just ordinary there!" Zhang Hao humbly replied, though his eyes shone with an even fiercer will to fight, as if he couldn't wait to join the Academy.
