Chapter 961: Chapter 952 Ancient Heavenly Court

Walking through Nanyang City, the place was bustling with people.

Along the way, many people were discussing the significant events recently occurring with the Xuanwu Alliance.

Moreover, most of these matters were closely related to the name Mo Wangchen.

Fang Yuan returned, regaining control over the Fang Family’s power, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Body was defeated at the same realm, the Holy Emperor’s banquet, and recently, the Ancient Ruins emerged.

Each event alarmed the entire Xuanwu Alliance!

"The environment here is quite nice. Let’s stay here for now." Before long, Mo Wangchen arrived in front of a magnificent restaurant.

As he traveled, almost every inn was of a similar scale, except for this one, uniquely constructed in the style of a palace, extremely luxurious, with visitors who were either wealthy or noble.

"Are you here to rest, guest?"

Upon entering the restaurant, a servant greeted him with a smiling face.

Mo Wangchen nodded, "First, give me some wine and dishes, and then prepare a superior room."

Saying this, he handed over a storage bag containing fifty thousand immortal stones.

Even in this most expensive inn in Nanyang City, staying a few days wouldn’t cost that much.

"Use it to settle everything. I’ll be staying for three days initially, and the remaining stones can be your tip." Mo Wangchen displayed a rare moment of extravagance.

"Yes, right away, I’ll prepare everything. Please take a seat first, guest."

The servant’s eyes lit up. Staying for three days would cost most a little over twenty thousand immortal stones, but there were a full fifty thousand in that storage bag. This meant the tip alone amounted to nearly thirty thousand immortal stones.

For the average cultivator, it might not be much, but to him, it equaled over half a month’s wages.

After showing Mo Wangchen to a window seat, the servant happily retreated.

Soon, the wine and dishes were served. After traveling for days without indulgence, Mo Wangchen found himself with quite an appetite and began to eat and drink heartily on his own.

"This time the ’Ru Yun Pavilion’ is reopening, and I heard a stunning woman has arrived, attracting many people to Nanyang City just to catch a glimpse of her beauty."

"Is she called Meng Yurou? Rumor has it she’s as beautiful as an immortal, comparable to the Flame Phoenix Saintess and Tian Xinzhi, the two unrivaled beauties of the Xuanwu Alliance, though whether this is true is unknown."

"I heard that many saint-level geniuses have come, drawn by Meng Yurou’s reputation. In my view, no matter how beautiful, she’s just a mortal woman. It’s said she hasn’t embarked on the path of cultivation, and with mortals’ limited lifespans, she’s lucky to maintain her charm for two or three decades."

"I’m afraid that’s not true. I heard she possesses the Ancient Heavenly Yin Body and her cultivation is not ordinary, just that few people know." Nearby, a table with four people was loudly discussing.

A man at another table was drawn in, laughing as he spoke, "Meng Yurou’s Heavenly Yin Body aside, this ’Ru Yun Pavilion,’ I heard, is not insignificant."

Someone questioned, "Isn’t it just an ordinary place for men’s amusement? What significance could it have?"

"Ah, you don’t know," an elderly man, with white hair and beard, seemed quite interested in the topic, grinning somewhat lewdly, "The current Pavilion Master of Ru Yun Pavilion is an extraordinary figure. Someone once saw her engaged in a great battle with the Wangxian Saint Master, five hundred miles outside the city."

"Really? The Wangxian Pavilion is one of the ten sacred lands of our Xuanwu Alliance, and its Saint Master is an unparalleled overlord. Could a mere entertainment house’s master have the strength to rival such a Saint Master?" Someone expressed disbelief.

The old man chuckled again, "Believe it or not, but Ru Yun Pavilion opens again tonight, and you’ll know then. Besides..."

At this point, the old man squinted, "I’ve heard that this Ru Yun Pavilion supposedly has some connection with the Ancient Heavenly Court."

"How could that be?!"

"The Ancient Heavenly Court? Isn’t it a legendary force?"

"Legend has it that it was the earliest force born in this era. The Ancient Heavenly Court had a Sealing God Platform where, in the past, the Jade Emperor governed the three realms, established the laws of the world, and cultivators who explored the heavens could perceive the platform, thus receiving divine status, gaining a divine position."

Everyone was astonished, some were familiar with the legend of the Ancient Heavenly Court but never believed it existed.

An old man couldn’t help but speak, "It’s said that during the Ancient Times, a great calamity occurred in the heavens and earth, causing the disappearance of the Ancient Heavenly Court. After the disaster, nearly all living beings of the Human Clan were wiped out, and the era of Ancient Clans dominating began."

"True or false, if the Ancient Heavenly Court did once exist in the world, by now, it would have perished long ago in the Ancient Times, millions or even nearly a billion years have passed, how could there be any inheritance left?"

"Indeed, the ancient history of the Daluo Heaven Realm only records up to pre-ancient times, and the matters of the Ancient Times are just legends, unverified. In my opinion, this ’Ru Yun Pavilion’ can’t be connected with the Ancient Heavenly Court."

Many nodded in agreement with this sentiment.

"The Ancient Heavenly Court?"

Mo Wangchen frowned, having kept silent all along, clearly holding great interest in the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Regrettably, the conversation moved on and didn’t delve further as Mo Wangchen wished.

"It’s said that Meng Yurou will be the next Pavilion Master of Ru Yun Pavilion. It seems the various forces have heard the rumors of their connection to the Ancient Heavenly Court, otherwise, why else would so many young talents gather in Nanyang City? They merely want their disciples to contact Meng Yurou."

"Haha, a woman whose beauty rivals the double unrivaled beauties of the Xuanwu Alliance is rare. Tomorrow night, Ru Yun Pavilion reopens, one mustn’t miss it." The previously speaking lewd old man chuckled.

"Haha, you’re already old, yet your thoughts are still so improper." Many teased.

The old man retorted, "This is called entering the mortal world to understand mortal affairs, a way of cultivation you young ones wouldn’t understand."

"Interesting, with such a mysterious background, Ru Yun Pavilion is indeed worth checking out." Amidst the discussion, Mo Wangchen contemplated.

Whether or not they are truly connected with the Ancient Heavenly Court, just the fact that the current Pavilion Master once battled the Wangxian Saint Master shows that Ru Yun Pavilion isn’t an ordinary mortal place.

After his meal, led by the servant, Mo Wangchen arrived at his room.

He specially instructed the servant not to let anyone disturb him, then closed the door on Fang Meng.

"Buzz!"

Removing the Heavenly Subduing Bow and Desolate Power, the space within the room instantly started to stir restlessly.

Fortunately, Mo Wangchen sealed the area with Divine Thought, preventing anyone from detecting the commotion.

He quietly sat cross-legged, observing the Heavenly Subduing Bow ’greedily’ absorbing the Desolate Power, like an insatiable vampire, causing Mo Wangchen some concern.

"So much Desolate Power, and still unable to repair it?"

It was unclear how much time had passed; seeing that most of the Desolate Power was consumed, yet the cracks on the Heavenly Subduing Bow were still quite obvious.
