CHAPTER 1092: CHAPTER 1083: NINGDAN CITY

In order to find the fragments, Mo Wangchen decided to break ground.

This was regardless of the objections from the Sun and Moon Divine Palace.

He asked for tools to dig, and also had the Sun and Moon Divine Palace send a few disciples.

"Do we really have to dig?"

One disciple turned around to look at the Great Elder not far away.

"You don’t have to dig. I can just swallow this tower along with the earth, saving you all that effort."

Hearing the Big White Dog’s words, the Great Elder’s face showed surprise, and he hurriedly told those disciples, "Dig!"

The few dared not protest, and obediently took their tools to start digging at the spot the Big White Dog indicated.

An hour later, they had dug about ten zhang deep, but found nothing but hard clay and stone.

"Keep digging, deeper. If I say it’s there, it is." The Big White Dog said.

After another hour, a disciple from the Sun and Moon Divine Palace couldn’t hold back and spoke, "Great Elder, if we keep digging like this, the Sun and Moon Tower might tip and collapse."

"Indeed, this is the cultivation secret realm of our Sun and Moon Divine Palace. If it collapses, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

"What can I do? It’s better than having our sect swallowed." The Great Elder sighed.

"There it is!"

Finally, an exclamation came from the bottom of the pit.

Mo Wangchen, who had been quietly sitting nearby, immediately stood up. When he reached the pit’s edge, the disciples responsible for digging had already jumped up.

One of them handed a fragment about two fingers in size to Mo Wangchen.

"Woof!"

The Big White Dog barked, "Now bring me my ancestor artifact, quickly, or I’ll swallow your tower!"

The Great Elder dared not hesitate, although it pained him, he had no choice but to offer a Holy Path Weapon with both hands to the Big White Dog.

Ultimately, with the eyes of all the disciples from the Sun and Moon Divine Palace on them, Mo Wangchen left the mountain gate of the Sun and Moon Divine Palace with the Big White Dog, the Green Emperor, and others, as he had promised. As long as the Sun and Moon Divine Palace cooperated obediently, he wouldn’t cause trouble.

"Kid, how many fragments are still missing? You should be close to completing them, right?"

The group soared above the mountains as the Big White Dog suddenly asked.

Mo Wangchen took out all the fragments and, after a moment, said, "Including the half-piece gained earlier from the God Burial Tomb, it should be nearly complete."

"Is this truly the Jade Emperor’s Holy Seal that once suppressed the three realms?"

The Green Emperor and Tian Xinzhi were amazed, having learned of the fragments’ origins from Mu Xi.

Mo Wangchen nodded, not hiding anything, but he didn’t explain much either. He put the fragments away and quickly flew in a certain direction with the others.

"Master Mo, long time no see."

Half a month later, at the front of the Alchemist Alliance in Ningdan City.

Upon hearing of Mo Wangchen’s arrival, Zhang Mingyuan and Elder Hai quickly came out to greet him without the slightest negligence.

"No need for formalities, Masters. These are my friends. Could they stay here for a while?" Mo Wangchen said with a smile.

"Haha, of course, no problem. It’s an honor for my Alchemist Alliance to host you all," Elder Hai said. He recognized Mu Xi and Tian Xinzhi, and though the other man was somewhat unfamiliar, he assumed he must be the Green Emperor.

During this time, Mo Wangchen had continuously challenged sacred lands and ancient martial families. These people had followed him closely, already well-known within the Xuanwu Alliance, which Elder Hai had naturally heard about.

"Isn’t that Mo Wangchen?"

"I heard recently that he appeared at the Sun and Moon Divine Palace but seemingly nothing happened. Who would have thought he’d come to Ningdan City now?"

Many cultivators passing by noticed this side and showed expressions of surprise.

Mo Wangchen didn’t pay much attention to this. Led by Elder Hai and Zhang Mingyuan, they were soon brought into the Alchemist Alliance.

"Kid, why are we here? Are you planning to deal with Xuan Emperor City?"

In the courtyard where Mo Wangchen once lived, after Zhang Mingyuan and Elder Hai left, the Big White Dog couldn’t help but ask.

"Xuan Emperor City has Emperor Xuansheng overseeing it. Now that he knows I’m back at the Xuanwu Alliance, he’ll surely be prepared. Making a move against the Xuan Emperor Palace might not yield any benefits, so it’s better to stay here for a while and then make a decision."

Having slain Xuan Yin, Emperor Xuansheng might hate Mo Wangchen deeply, but due to the presence of Mr. Xiansheng, they dare not make a move against him.

Still, being one of the seven sages of the era, Mo Wangchen didn’t underestimate him. If he were to make a move against the Xuan Emperor Palace, he couldn’t just rush in without proper preparation.

"Brother Dog, there are a few nice places here in Ningdan City. How about we explore them tonight?" Mu Xi, the Luoyue Saint Heir, was one of the All Saints of the Xuanwu Alliance, and with Ningdan City so close to Xuan Emperor City, he’d naturally visited several times and was quite familiar with the area.

"Brother Qing, want to join?" He asked the Green Emperor.

Mo Wangchen thought the Green Emperor would decline but was surprised when, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Alright, since I’m here in the Xuanwu Alliance, I might as well stroll around."

By evening, Mu Xi and others left, and to Mo Wangchen’s surprise, Tian Xinzhi also went along.

"We’re going to places meant for men. Why are you coming along?" The Big White Dog asked, puzzled.

"If dogs can go, why can’t I?" Tian Xinzhi replied.

Eventually, everyone left, and Mo Wangchen placed the Bronze Ancient Coffin down, sitting cross-legged beside it alone.

He took out all the fragments and assembled them in sequence, finally piecing the majority of the Holy Seal together. The whole form of the Holy Seal was akin to the mortal Imperial Dynasty’s Human Emperor’s Jade Seal, with a kind of special and mysterious pattern underneath.

Though the fragments weren’t complete, leaving the pattern looking incomplete, Mo Wangchen could discern that within the pattern seemed to be a certain remarkable Dao rhythm, emanating an aura similar to the Divine King Heavenly Subduing Technique.

"Now I’m almost finished collecting the Holy Seal, but Meng Yurou remains unable to awaken..."

Gazing at the Holy Seal in his hand, Mo Wangchen mused that if not for his encounter with Meng Yurou, he might not have known that the Heavenly Subduing Technique was only part of the Haotian Scripture.

Not long ago, he also learned from Meng Tianyi that the Ru Yun Pavilion’s goal in obtaining the complete Holy Seal was quite simple. The Queen Mother of the West’s legacy, secured by Yan Ruyi, required the Holy Seal to subdue and finally resolve the ancient feuds.

"No matter what, she was once my birth mother. As things have evolved to this point, the root cause is simply due to the Queen Mother’s legacy. On the day at the Yan Emperor Palace, I clearly felt that the Ji Family still had bloodlines alive, within that Yan Emperor Palace. However, I left in haste and didn’t meet them..."
