I Pick up a Lost Godhood

Chapter 450: Chapter 433: Heaven-Defying Qiankun Dragon Roar Moon

Mo Chen knew Wang Meng wouldn’t join the Taiyin Sect, but that didn’t matter. As long as they maintained a good relationship, there would be opportunities. Besides, someone at Mo Chen’s level was reluctant to owe favors, so being able to help Wang Meng was for the best. Little Cheng really was clever.

He didn’t mind having Wang Meng come here; he just hadn’t thought of it himself. They had been observing this place for some time. Although it was very special, they hadn’t been able to gain much from it.

Wang Meng had been immersed in this state for many days now. Judging by his serene expression, he wasn’t suffering from cultivation deviation. It seemed Zou Chuang and Xie Tianhua had also benefited considerably from this.

The new generation surpasses the old. Mo Chen felt a bit old himself. His generation had the advantage of experience and time, but Zou Chuang’s generation was bound to surpass them. This wasn’t just true for the Taiyin Sect, but for every sect and school.

Such an eruption of geniuses might seem coincidental, but it was actually inevitable.

Under the Star Alliance system, the various sects and schools had developed, integrated, and learned from one another. It was only natural that they would reach their peak in this era.

Saints and Demons fought against each other, yet they also learned from one another. This didn’t have much of an impact on the older generation, but the younger generation was different. They had a higher starting point.

After a moment of reflection, Mo Chen went to busy himself with contacting experts who specialized in Heart Spirit and Magical Artifacts.

This matter couldn’t be dropped just like that. They had to organize a team and go to the Treasure Artifact Sect again.

Zhang Bai, who had taken the Extreme Essence Pill, had already begun to recuperate. The entire Taiyin Sect was bustling with activity for this matter. Although searching for people like this might not escape the notice of interested parties, they couldn’t afford to worry about that now.

Given the Taiyin Sect’s status, there would be no shortage of people willing to help.

Yuu Kunlun eventually selected three people. As soon as they arrived, the group would head to the Treasure Artifact Sect once more.

But if they failed again, the Taiyin Sect would truly lose face and couldn’t ask again. Moreover, even this attempt meant they owed the Treasure Artifact Sect a favor, regardless of success or failure.

The Power of Laws. Space. Wang Meng’s figure wavered, continuously jumping forward and backward.

Zou Chuang watched intently, his eyes unblinking. ’This is Wang Meng entering the final process of his epiphany. I absolutely cannot miss it!’

Beside him, Xie Tianhua’s eyes were wide as well. ’This might be a precious experience I’ll only encounter once in a lifetime.’

Over the past few days, Xie Tianhua had developed a profound admiration for this young martial uncle.

The Law of Space was displayed to its fullest on Wang Meng’s body. And then, Xie Tianhua’s expression suddenly changed. Blood rushed to his head, and it began to trickle from the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t watch any longer.

’This is a level I can’t currently endure.’

Though unwilling to stop, he knew his life was more important. Xie Tianhua quickly closed his eyes and circulated his Cultivation Technique, calming his wildly agitated Sea of Heart.

Meanwhile, Zou Chuang’s eyes were also bloodshot and radiating light. A massive White Tiger Holy Statue appeared, surrounded by a murderous aura.

The Silent Extinction White Tiger Holy Statue.

Zou Chuang forced a ray of light to shoot from his eyes, focusing on the rotation of Wang Meng’s body.

Zou Chuang felt a wave of dizziness, but he refused to give up, continuing to force himself to watch.

Suddenly, a hand clapped Zou Chuang on the shoulder. Mo Chen had arrived. "Don’t look anymore!"

Zou Chuang slowly closed his eyes, sighing in relief. He had been like one possessed; if he had kept watching, he surely would have been severely injured.

Mo Chen quietly watched Wang Meng. As a Great Perfection master, especially one who had experienced life and death, he knew what Wang Meng was doing.

It was something that would make even a Great Perfection master sigh in admiration.

’This is the gap!’

’To dare challenge the Laws with strength below Minor Perfection, and to not even suffer a backlash... what is this?’

’This is true power. A power more terrifying than any Holy Statue—unassuming, yet peerless.’

Just by observing this epiphany of the Power of Laws, Xie Tianhua and Zou Chuang had nearly suffered cultivation deviation.

’That Tianhua kid is pretty good, even more composed than Zou Chuang. While persistence is necessary on the path of cultivation, one must also know when to let go. Xie Tianhua’s Cultivation is weaker; if he had been truly drawn in by this epiphany, he would have been damned beyond redemption.’

’This land of reversed heaven and earth is a blessed place for the capable, but that isn’t necessarily true for ordinary people.’

’Here, even someone with Xie Tianhua’s talent can only be considered an ordinary person.’

Mo Chen did not fix his gaze on Wang Meng. At his level, one knew what to focus on and what to ignore. ’The Power of Laws is tempting, but unfortunately, this is someone else’s epiphany. For masters at our level who have already reached the end of our path, we cannot be distracted by another’s enlightenment, or all our own cultivation would be for naught.’

’Even if my own path is wrong, at this level, I can only follow it to the very end.’

As he rotated, the Elemental Power in Wang Meng’s body grew stronger and stronger. Unconsciously, he reached the First Layer of Minor Perfection, and it was all so unremarkable.

A ray of light gradually appeared behind Wang Meng, coiling behind him. The light wasn’t intense, but it possessed a peerless aura.

Gradually, the light condensed into... a dragon. A dragon like none before. Its aura reminded Mo Chen of the Dragon Emperor... representing the most tyrannical Power of Space Law.

’A golden dragon, radiating light, but it isn’t the gold of a typical Five Elements Golden Dragon. This gold is true gold, as brilliant as the sun. The Holy Statue’s dragon head wears a crown. This is... the Dragon Emperor! Only the Dragon Emperor can wear a crown!’

Mo Chen was getting excited. When Wang Meng advanced to Minor Perfection, nothing had happened, and Mo Chen had been a little worried for him. ’But defying the heavens is what he does best. For Wang Meng to actually form a Holy Statue at a time like this... no one would believe it if word got out. Normally, a Holy Statue can only be formed when breaking through to Minor Perfection or Great Perfection, yet his has appeared at another time entirely.’

’Judging from its overall appearance, Wang Meng’s Holy Statue Ability most likely involves space. This alone is enough to rank it among the Ten Great Sacred Bodies.’

’Wang Meng probably just needs time.’ Mo Chen felt a little embarrassed. He had to admit, ’For the current Wang Meng, the Taiyin Sect’s temple is indeed a bit too small.’

Just when Mo Chen thought it was over, he saw the majestic Dragon Emperor, which looked down upon the world with disdain, slowly raise its head.

’It’s looking up at the sky???’

’Could it be that the Holy Statue isn’t finished???’

’What could possibly make even the Dragon Emperor look up???’

Even the widely experienced Mo Chen’s eyes went wide. ’Every additional image in a Holy Statue adds another layer of meaning. The laws are inviolable, and the hierarchy within a Holy Statue is absolutely strict. This Dragon Emperor Holy Statue, representing Spatial Power, is definitely top-tier. How could it possibly need to look up to something else?’

Wang Meng’s body stopped moving, hovering in the air. However, the next scene left Mo Chen stunned.

Around Wang Meng, flowers bloomed, and trees began to bear fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye...

’Could it be life?’

’Even if it is Life, it’s probably not enough to make the Dragon Emperor look up in reverence!’

The flowers withered, the trees decayed, and the rocks weathered and crumbled. All of this happened in an instant.

Mo Chen knew he shouldn’t watch, shouldn’t even think about it, but he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.

’Heavens!’

’This is Time! The Law of Time!’

’The bloom and decay of life... this is Time!’

In just a daze, like a waking dream, everything returned to tranquility.

As if nothing had happened, a red light erupted from Wang Meng’s body. The red light condensed from bottom to top, slowly rising into the air.

A red moon!!!

’This is what the Dragon Emperor is looking up at.’

’The moon waxes and wanes. Time... is something that even peerless experts cannot defy.’

Mo Chen’s hands were trembling. ’This is a legendary Holy Statue, a Holy Statue that shouldn’t exist in this world.’

The Dragon Roar Moon!

Mo Chen knew. ’Someone who can rule this world in the future has been born. Maybe, just maybe, he can truly shatter the shackles that have always imprisoned the Small Thousand World.’

And then, Mo Chen discovered his own ignorance and inadequacy once again.

The Dragon Emperor and the red moon became still. The surroundings froze. The Holy Statue still wasn’t complete.

Mo Chen felt the joy of being alive. ’To hear the Dao in the morning and die content in the evening—to be able to witness this scene is truly worth it.’

’To think there’s a Law even above Space and Time!’

’That is definitely in the realm of gods!’

’The power of a Controller.’

Behind the Dragon Roar Moon was a void. It seemed to be nothingness, yet it also seemed to contain everything.

Mo Chen knew, ’There’s definitely something there, but with my abilities, I’m completely unable to see through it. How powerful that Law must be.’

A gentle smile appeared on Wang Meng’s face. In his thoughts, the figures and images of Moo Shan, Wangtian, his father, his mother, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiaojiang... all flashed by rapidly.

Finally, Wang Meng opened his eyes. ’I know that this final step needs to be continuously filled in. The moment it’s complete, nothing will be able to stop me.’

His Holy Statue was finally complete.

He had integrated the power of his Life Wheel and Divine Sense, creating a power that belonged only to him.

’The Life Wheel and Godhood are both types of power I have been borrowing. But now, I have finally taken another step, standing on the shoulders of giants to create something that even Moo Shan and Wangtian could never have imagined. This is a new path, a path that belongs only to me, a path that only I can walk.’

Mo Chen knew, ’The person before me can no longer be described as merely "strong."’

’In the future, as long as he lives and continues down this path, even the Star Alliance, the entire Small Thousand Realm, will have to submit at his feet.’

This was the Qiankun Dragon Roar Moon God Statue!

It utterly eclipsed the Ten Great Holy Statues. This was a Divine Statue!

Wang Meng’s body landed on the ground. The land of reversed heaven and earth had, without anyone noticing, already returned to normal.

During Wang Meng’s epiphany, the chaos of the laws had been quelled.

Everything was so ordinary. Wang Meng was still Wang Meng.

Only in Mo Chen’s heart did waves crash and seas churn. "I don’t know if I should congratulate you, but as a friend, I’m happy for you."

"Old Mo, thank you. Ever since I met you and Little Cheng, my luck has been unending."

Wang Meng’s gratitude was sincere. Epiphanies were hard to come by, requiring the perfect alignment of Celestial Time, geographical advantage, and human harmony—not one could be missing. There was surely a karmic tie between him and the Taiyin Sect. Now that he had received the Taiyin Sect’s grace, there would be a karmic effect in the future.

’It seems that in the future, the Taiyin Sect will face a great disaster, and I will be needed to repay this karmic debt.’

Although Mo Chen couldn’t comprehend cause and effect like Wang Meng, as an old man, he naturally had some sense of fate.

"One day, the Taiyin Sect might need your help. I’m not afraid to lose this old face of mine to ask. Wang Meng, I hope you will protect the Taiyin Sect when the time comes."

Mo Chen spoke, then thought, ’Such a heaven-defying, tyrannical event formed so silently. Even the heavens were deceived; no Celestial Tribulation appeared. It’s clear that Wang Meng’s power is so immense that even the heavens give way to him. But this doesn’t mean others also possess such an indomitable fate.’
