I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 447: Chapter 430: The Land of Inverted Heaven and Earth

Xie Tianhua finally understood what it meant to be in the presence of a truly formidable figure. When he himself was in the presence of the two masters, he hadn’t dared to breathe too loudly, yet Wang Meng could speak with such confidence and ease. This wasn’t some mentality of expecting repayment for a favor, but true, unadulterated composure.

’How could a disciple from the Holy Hall of a backward Small Thousand Realm, a mere Saint Cultivator, manage to do that?’

For reasons he couldn’t explain, a sense of heartfelt admiration rose in Xie Tianhua’s heart.

Wang Meng didn’t answer. After his Heart Spirit—or more accurately, his latent Divine Sense—had finished assessing Zhang Bai’s physical condition, he slowly sat back down in his seat.

"Senior, your condition is extremely poor. To put it bluntly, you won’t last even two more years."

"Right after that incident, Mo Chen somehow survived."

"Are you saying Mo Chen’s miraculous survival is related to Wang Meng?"

"It must be strongly connected to him. A while ago, Wang Meng brought a girl to our gathering. I took the trouble to investigate her but couldn’t find any relevant information. However, my Golden Wing Roc Body felt a sense of threat from her."

Jii Wanli said.

The Mother of Ten Thousand Spirits furrowed her brow slightly. "There are only a handful of things that could pressure your Golden Wing Roc Body."

"I suspect she might be from the Dragon Race!"

Everyone was instantly shocked. No one understood the terror of the Dragon Race better than the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

"During the incident at the Dragon Tomb, a member of the Dragon Race appeared, slaughtered a group of Great Perfection masters, and then left. The only survivor was Mo Chen, who has been extremely secretive about the whole affair. These fragmented events are full of coincidences. The Taiyin Sect has no connection to the Dragon Race, so on what grounds would they spare Mo Chen?"

"And you’re saying this is all because of Wang Meng?"

"I can’t be certain, but the high-level reception the Taiyin Sect is giving Wang Meng suggests it’s not just an empty gesture. There’s definitely a bigger story here!"

"Wanli, you have done well. Very well!" said the Mother of Ten Thousand Spirits. With such a capable and intelligent disciple, there was hope for the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

Jii Wanli’s strength lay in his meticulous and comprehensive thinking, combined with a bold spirit. This was the stuff of kings and conquerors.

"I am only able to do this thanks to you, True Mother. I suggest that our assets within the Taiyin Sect be activated now. As long as we can confirm this intelligence, it will be worth it even if they are exposed."

Jii Wanli said.

"Then do as you’ve suggested. You will be responsible for this matter. All of you are to follow Wanli’s orders!"

"Yes, True Mother!"

But Jii Wanli felt no pride or joy at this moment. His expression was grave. This whole affair genuinely unsettled him. ’I hate people I can’t see through. Lin Jinghao’s strength and Mingren’s potential are plain to see, understandable at a glance. But this Wang Meng... he has far too many secrets.’

Meanwhile, Master Wang was having a much better time. He had gained a martial nephew who was constantly bustling about, tending to his needs. He was the most honored guest at the Taiyin Sect, and his true status was still a closely guarded secret. Aside from the three most powerful figures in the Taiyin Sect, only Xie Tianhua, Zou Chuang, and Cheng Cheng knew the details.

The happiest of them all was Cheng Cheng. She stuck to Wang Meng’s side all day, having completely forgotten about things like cultivation.

Mo Chen traveled to the Heaven-Reaching Pill God Sect to request a Pill. Among all the sects in the various Small Thousand Realms, the Heaven-Reaching Pill God Sect was the undisputed king of Pill refinement. Many of the Star Alliance’s fundamental Alchemy methods originated from this Divine Sect. They were a neutral Sect, not participating in any of the struggles between Saints and Demons, and maintained good relations with all the other major Sects.

As the third-ranked major Sect, the Taiyin Sect naturally had a good relationship with them, hence why Mo Chen was going. However, the Pill he sought this time was anything but ordinary. It was a Pill for a Great Perfection master, one of the most top-tier Pills in existence, and Mo Chen was prepared to haggle.

Meanwhile, Sect Leader Yuu Kunlun personally set out for the Treasure Artifact Sect.

The Treasure Artifact Sect ranked tenth in the Star Alliance. While there was a gap in power among the top ten Sects, it was nothing like the chasm that separated them from the Pure Land. And while the Taiyin Sect’s status was revered, some matters were simply out of its hands. A depleted Sea of Fate was something the Heaven-Reaching Pill God Sect could handle, but damage to the Sea of Heart could only be resolved by the Treasure Artifact Sect.

The Treasure Artifact Sect possessed a legacy Treasure Artifact known as the "Spirit of Divine Sense." This Treasure Artifact had only been created in recent years. Legend had it that the Treasure Artifact Sect Master refined it after a chance glimpse into the Celestial Dao. It was miraculously powerful, and the Treasure Artifact Sect Master had once declared it could heal any and all damage to the Heart Spirit.

How could such a treasure possibly be lent to an outsider? The Treasure Artifact Sect and the Taiyin Sect had no particular relationship, so Yuu Kunlun’s personal intervention was the only way there was even a chance of borrowing it.

Zou Chuang returned from his perilous adventure. And judging by the look on this "Tiger Crown Prince," his gains must have been quite substantial.

After hearing Xie Tianhua’s explanation and seeing Cheng Cheng’s behavior, Zou Chuang was also flabbergasted. Zou Chuang was a man of few words, with a cold personality that befitted his Silent Extinction White Tiger Body.

He met with Wang Meng, but only to exchange a brief greeting before disappearing again.

"Martial Uncle Wang, please don’t mind him. Brother Zou is just like that."

Xie Tianhua, for his part, was quite embarrassed.

"Big Brother, don’t pay him any mind! Zou Chuang is no fun. I’ll take you to the back mountain. There’s fun stuff to do there."

Xie Tianhua broke into a cold sweat. "Young Miss, the back mountain... that’s rather problematic."

’The back mountain is a Forbidden Land! Even if Martial Uncle Wang’s status is special, shouldn’t this require the Sect Leader’s approval?’

"Who asked you?"

Cheng Cheng paid him no mind, insisting on dragging Wang Meng away. For Cultivation Sects, choosing a base of operations is a decision with millennium-long implications. To have become the third-ranked Sect, the Immortal Mountain the Taiyin Sect occupied naturally had its own extraordinary aspects.

The Elemental Qi on the back mountain was indeed dense. Not only was it dense, but it was also filled with a kind of vibrant, leaping energy.

Here, Wang Meng felt even closer to the Taiyin Wheel.

When Cheng Cheng saw Wang Meng notice the enormous Taiyin Wheel, she grinned mischievously. "That big thing hangs up there all day. It’s so in the way."

"Haha, Little Cheng, that’s your Taiyin Sect’s supreme Treasure of the Sect. It’s no laughing matter."

"But I just want to have fun! C’mon, this is the fun place I was telling you about."

As Little Cheng dragged him into a run, they rounded a dense patch of forest, and Wang Meng found himself stunned by the mystic scenery before him.

Everything here seemed to be inverted!

"Hee hee, this is the Qiankun Reversal Holy Land. It’s so fun! It’s my favorite place to come."

Cheng Cheng took a step forward, and her body instantly inverted. Her skirt fluttered up, revealing pink panties underneath, but she remained completely oblivious, giggling away. Wang Meng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Xie Tianhua could only wait dutifully outside. He wasn’t yet qualified to enter this place. ’As for Martial Uncle Wang... well, his status is special. It’s not like I have any authority over him anyway, so I might as well not worry about it.’

Wang Meng immediately took a keen interest in this land of Qiankun Reversal.

He took a slow step forward, his body immediately experiencing the moment of inversion.

It felt very natural. This wasn’t a superimposed space but one that was seamlessly integrated. However, this particular section seemed to have something wrong with it.

Little Cheng was happily bouncing and tumbling about inside. The laws in this space were somewhat chaotic; not only was heaven and earth inverted, but things like gravity were also completely different.

"My great-grandpa and the others always said there must be some Secret Treasure here that caused the problem with the space, but they’ve been searching for years and haven’t found a thing. They’re always so secretive about it. I just think this is a fun place to play."

Without using any Elemental Power at all, relying solely on her familiarity with the local laws, Little Cheng drifted and twirled about like a beautiful little butterfly.

"This place only appeared recently?"

Wang Meng did not share Cheng Cheng’s playful mood. This place was too mystic.

"Yeah, my great-grandpa and the others treated it like a priceless treasure and turned the place upside down looking, but they found nothing and had to give up," Cheng Cheng said.

It was filled with a power that ran contrary to the conventional laws of the world. For a Cultivator, this place undoubtedly held immense research value. (To be continued...)
