Heavenly Emperor.

The mightiest existence through the ages, they awe the world, their fame eternal.

A Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique is about to emerge, stirring the winds and clouds across all directions, and no one can resist such allure.

At this moment, within Liu City, the bustling and lively streets are filled with powerful figures, all experts from various major forces of the world.

Mo Wangchen noticed that among these people, experts at the peak of the Reverse Life Realm were not in the minority.

Upon closer sensing, he could detect some terrifying auras hidden in the shadows. It was easy to imagine that these were at least ten supreme beings at the Unity Realm Stage!

A full ten Unity Realm experts—such an assembly could sweep through the Sacred Demon Realms unchallenged.

Yet now, in Liu City, figures of such stature descended here one after another.

Even Unity Realm experts were so invested, indicating that the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique must possess an irresistible attraction.

Mo Wangchen wandered alone in the city, listening to the conversations and discussions of the passersby, hoping to glean some valuable information.

"Come and see! Once a famous powerful being risked life and limb to venture alone into the Tianxu Mountain Range, ultimately creating a map of the mountain range. I have imprinted the map using a secret technique into multiple copies, each for only nine hundred ninety-eight spirit stones!"

A shouting voice came from the street ahead.

Mo Wangchen looked up to see an old man in grey holding a map, shouting in all directions.

Many people were attracted and gathered around.

"Old man, is your map real or fake?" a young man asked, half-believing, half-doubting.

The old man rebutted, serious and earnest, "How dare you speak like that? I’m a map seller, how could I sell you a fake map?"

"The Tianxu Mountain Range is fraught with dangers, even Unity Realm experts find it hard to come out alive. You say this map was drawn by a famous person of yore, can you prove it? Who exactly is this famous person?" the crowd questioned.

Obviously, no one had explored the Tianxu Mountain Range extensively over the years due to its perils, leaving only a one-in-ten chance of survival, so many doubted the map’s authenticity.

Moreover, the fact that the old man claimed to have produced multiple copies yet was selling each for a mere nine hundred ninety-eight spirit stones sounded too cheap to be true.

"Why all the questions? The map is right here, buy it or leave it. If you don’t believe, just go away. I only sell these maps to those destined to have them," the old man said bluntly, brushing off further explanations.

"Hey, old man, are you crazy? Naturally, we’re asking because we have doubts, yet you refuse to explain and act all high and mighty. Who are you trying to fool?" Some hotheaded youths couldn’t hold back, rolling up their sleeves as if ready to fight the old man.

"Forget it, brothers, it’s not worth it over such a small matter," a sensible person quickly intervened to calm them down.

"It’s only nine hundred ninety-eight spirit stones anyway. Even if it’s fake, I wouldn’t feel bad. Give me one," someone said.

"That’s right, it’s just nine hundred ninety-eight spirit stones. Even if I’m duped, it’s no big deal. I’ll buy one too," added another.

Many stepped forward, swiftly pulling out spirit stones and obtaining maps from the old man.

In the Heavenly Domain, spirit stones are the currency of circulation, similar to Xuan Stones in the Holy Realm, but they contain a more potent and pure spiritual power.

Before arriving, Mo Wangchen had obtained some from his master but had not closely examined them, merely putting them away. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Now, intrigued by the map, he planned to buy a copy.

Upon taking out the spirit stones given by his master, Mo Wangchen was astonished.

Inside the storage bag were countless spirit stones, beyond estimation, at least several hundred to near a million!

"I’d like one too,"

Mo Wangchen said, handing over nine hundred ninety-eight spirit stones as he stepped forward.

The old man happily received the spirit stones and tossed him a map.

Once he had the map, Mo Wangchen opened it for a look; it was quite detailed, marking important locations and general terrain, making it easier to navigate the perilous Tianxu Mountain Range.

However, whether the map was genuine remained to be seen.

After securing the map, Mo Wangchen left the place.

In a square to the north of the city.

Many cultivators gathered there.

One could easily sense the powerful aura they all emanated.

And judging from their attire, these were mostly experts from various major forces.

Recently, the Tianxu Mountain Range had been experiencing frequent anomalies, prompting major forces to deliberate on the best timing for entry.

Now, they gathered here, also discussing matters related to entering the mountains.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if there are no objections, then it is decided. Tomorrow morning, gather here and prepare to enter the mountains," an old man declared after a long half-day discussion.

This was the outcome agreed upon by all.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Finally, we’re setting out?"

"I’ve been waiting eagerly!"

Around the square, many independent loose cultivators gathered, overhearing the discussions of the major forces.

Clearly, these major forces were not deliberately avoiding anything.

They understood that the Tianxu Mountain Range was too dangerous, and attempting entry with just their forces was impossible, so they needed to announce the entry time to involve the loose cultivators.

With enough manpower, they could better handle potential troubles.

Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged in a relatively comfortable spot, quietly waiting.

As the night grew, more cultivators entered the city, having received the news of the planned entry for the next morning, hurriedly gathering.

After sitting in Netherworld Enlightenment through the night, Mo Wangchen was awakened by the noise early the next morning.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the square was packed with people, countless cultivators had arrived.

The forces from various realms of Lizhou had already assembled, not only top experts of the older generation, but many young talents too.

"Is that the Saint Heir, Song Hao of the Cangli Sacred Land in the Wind Realm?"

"One of the real top prodigies on Lizhou land. Unexpectedly, Cangli Sacred Land brought him along this time. Aren’t they afraid something might happen to Song Hao in the Tianxu Mountain Range?"

"Not just Song Hao, look over there, Ruan Xinyu, the Saintess of the Xuanling Sacred Land in the Ice Realm, is here too."

"They are truly the darlings of heaven from Lizhou. Besides the two of them, some Young Master Level figures from various great families have also appeared here."

The crowd buzzed with discussions, all centered around these young prodigies.

Mo Wangchen scanned his gaze over Song Hao and Ruan Xinyu as mentioned by others.

He could easily tell that these two had formidable cultivation, likely at or beyond the peak of the Reverse Life Realm!

Compared to such Saint Level talents, the Senior Disciple Luo Yuansheng from the Guyun Sect previously encountered was truly insignificant.
