Chapter 1216: Chapter 1207: News That Shook the Holy Mountain
"The Sealing God Tablet... Is it truly in your possession?"
Mo Wangchen’s words echoed in the ears of everyone present.
The Ancient Demon Dragon King couldn’t hold back anymore; he frowned and spoke.
"Divine Status is something your Demon Dragon Clan should not even think about." Mo Wangchen glanced at him and sneered.
Then, he ignored the opponent and returned beside Brother Mu, Green Emperor, and the others.
"Brother Mu, how are you feeling?" Green Emperor asked with concern.
Mu Xi shook his head, "I’m not dead yet. Thank you for the rescue this time."
"We’re brothers; no need to say such things." Mo Wangchen waved his hand.
"Brother Mo, can the Sealing God Tablet truly form a Divine Status?" Mu Xi frowned and suddenly spoke.
Mo Wangchen was momentarily stunned, then nodded, "Naturally. With Brother Mu’s qualifications, you will certainly be able to obtain your Divine Status at that time."
"That’s good to hear. As for the Demon Dragon Clan, when I become a god, I will personally slay their king!"
Mu Xi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly; although he was rescued, the Luoyue Immortal Palace had been destroyed, and most of the sect disciples perished tragically, all because of the Demon Dragon Clan.
With such deep hatred, Mu Xi would not easily let it go.
"Don’t think too much about it for now. Come back to the Holy Mountain with me and heal your wounds. Additionally, I’ve heard that a small number of disciples from the Luoyue Immortal Palace escaped on that day. They should be hiding in various parts of the Daluo Heaven Realm now. Once they learn that you’re rescued, they will certainly seek you out." Mo Wangchen said.
Mu Xi nodded. He had been tortured extensively within the Demon Dragon Clan, now appearing disheveled with none of the presence of a Saint Master he once held.
Afterward, Mo Wangchen looked toward the not-too-distant Divine Scale King and motioned for him to leave together.
Under the gaze of the crowd, eventually, Mo Wangchen and the others left that place.
"Mo Venerable, I have just awakened, and there are many matters within the clan that require handling, so I fear I cannot see you off this time. Rest assured, with this king around, the Demon Dragon King will not dare to trouble you again on the way."
When passing by the Divine Scale Clan, the Divine Scale King spoke thus.
"Mo Venerable?"
The title given to Mo Wangchen by the Divine Scale King astonished Green Emperor and the others, who exchanged looks but did not ask further questions.
Only after the Divine Scale King departed and the group set off again did Tian Xinzhi, who was traveling with them, finally speak up, "Brother Mo, it seems you have many things hidden from us."
The others, upon hearing these words, all glanced over with faces of confusion and bewilderment.
Mo Wangchen naturally knew they were curious due to the Divine Scale King’s title for him and could only smile and say, "It’s a long story. If there’s time, I’ll explain it to you in detail."
"Actually..."
Mu Xi suddenly remembered something and frowned, "Previously, while I was imprisoned in the Demon Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor came to see me once."
"What did he want with you?" Green Emperor asked, perplexed.
"He wanted to recruit me. In the past, the Demon Dragon Clan allied with Emperor Xuanwu, and I ended up as a prisoner. The Heavenly Dragon Emperor wanted to recruit me, but how could I agree?"
Speaking this, Mu Xi paused momentarily before continuing, "At the time, I felt a trace of Great Dao Divine Power on him!"
"Great Dao Divine Power?!"
These words brought shock to the faces of Mo Wangchen and the others, "Are you sure?"
Mu Xi frowned, "Although he concealed it well, he seemed unable to fully control that Great Dao Divine Power, so I sensed some of it."
"In that case... has the Heavenly Dragon Emperor obtained Divine Status?" Mo Wangchen squinted his eyes; this posed a great threat. If he truly acquired Divine Status, it would be bad news for him.
Green Emperor was silent for a while before speaking, "Our Green Martial Alliance previously received tidbits of information. In the past, before the Heavenly Dragon King was sealed into the Divine Origin, he sustained irreversible injuries within. Father Emperor speculated that, upon awakening from the Divine Origin, the Heavenly Dragon King was already short on time. To have lived for nine hundred years until now should mean he has reached his limit..."
"The Divine Status within the Heavenly Dragon Emperor is gifted by the Heavenly Dragon King!" Mo Wangchen’s brow furrowed. In that case, there is indeed a high probability that the Heavenly Dragon Emperor has obtained Divine Status.
"Hundreds of years ago, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor had already reached the half-god stage. Without Divine Status, he never managed to make that final step. Now, if he truly obtained his father’s Divine Status, once perfectly matched, he will surely soar into the Ancient God Realm!" Tian Xinzhi said.
"For years, the Dragon Clan has repeatedly incited conflict between the two clans. Now that the Heavenly Dragon Emperor has obtained Divine Status, it likely isn’t a good development." Green Emperor and Mu Xi both furrowed their brows, their expressions slightly grave.
"No worries, losing one Heavenly Dragon King while gaining a Heavenly Dragon Emperor doesn’t change much in the situation. At most, the younger Heavenly Dragon Emperor, upon becoming a god, would be more challenging than the aging Heavenly Dragon King." Mo Wangchen remarked.
"And now, the Investiture of the Gods is known worldwide. The primary condition for acquiring Divine Status is peaceful development between clans. Those from the Ancient Clan, who harbored hostility against the Human Clan in the past, likely won’t dare to wreak havoc across the world as before unless they wish to forsake becoming a god. The Daluo Heaven Realm may witness a period of tranquility in the coming days, so everyone should seize this opportunity for full development."
Three days later, Mo Wangchen and rest finally returned to the Holy Mountain within the Longevity Domain.
Now that Luoyue Immortal Palace has been annihilated and the mountain gate gone, Mu Xi naturally can only temporarily stay atop the Holy Mountain.
As Green Emperor and the others prepared to leave using the teleportation array here, Mo Wangchen suddenly informed them of a piece of news, "I plan to hold my wedding with Yurou next month, so everyone should remember to attend."
This news had barely left Mo Wangchen’s mouth before it spread rapidly across the entire Holy Mountain.
Mu Xi was so surprised that he stopped nursing his wounds and rushed before Mo Wangchen to verify the news.
"Thirteen, is it true? You’re getting married?"
Others like Bai Jincheng and those cultivating on the mountain also hurried over, each speaking incessantly, giving Mo Wangchen no chance to respond.
"Chen’er, is the news true?"
From the distance, Mo Xiaotian and his wife transformed into a Divine Rainbow and flew over, visibly excited.
"Woof! Kid, at the wedding ceremony, this emperor demands half of the gifts." Big White Dog emerged from somewhere, drooling everywhere as it started planning out the gifts it would demand.
"Haha, Brother Mo’s grand wedding must be world-renowned. Now, with the Sealing God Tablet in your hand, who would dare offend you during this event? Many great heroes are bound to attend; they’re all contemplating how to ingratiate themselves with you now."
The Green Emperor laughed uproariously, and after learning the news, he even decided not to return to the Green Martial Alliance, choosing instead to remain on the Holy Mountain and await the wedding’s arrival.
