Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2540 - 933: Bloody Turmoil, Fleeing to the South Border
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Heavy downpour cascaded from the heavens, brimming with Spirit Qi.
Terrified figures stepped out from their shelters one by one, utterly bewildered by this immense and unforeseen shift across the skies and land.
A Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage, bold as a young calf facing a tiger, extended his hand to fearlessly catch the falling rain.
The droplets felt mildly chilly upon contact, shifting subtly while faintly awakening the inner Spirit Power.
"It’s Spirit Qi!"
"This downpour carries a wealth of Spirit Qi!"
Shouts of thrill swept aside the gathered crowd's earlier fear.
In a flash, numerous rogue cultivators pulled out tools to gather the precious rainwater.
Sharper-eyed folks from minor sects spotted this rare phenomenon too, but they employed superior techniques, activating their Guardian Mountain Array to pull in vast quantities of the rain, further nourishing their spirit veins.
Naturally, across the expansive Five Elements Realm, plenty of the rain seeped into the hills, streams, and The Great River.
In certain desolate areas lacking Spirit Veins before, the downpour soaked the soil, slowly converting the mundane earth's power into spirit energy and giving rise to Spirit Caves.
Before long, a full Spirit Vein would form on its own.
Facing this grand transformation of the realm, reactions varied widely among all.
Yet certain Golden Core Cultivators sharply sensed the deeper truth.
How could the world offer such a free boon without reason?
This Spiritual Rain merely hinted at the enormous surge of Spirit Qi released from the ancient Fourth Order Spirit Vein, nearly a millennium old, under the Five Elements Divine Sect's control.
Together with the earlier turmoil in heaven and earth's Primordial Qi, the entire Five Elements Realm appeared wrapped in apocalyptic splendor.
Dreadful doubts gripped many minds.
With growing anxiety, a few powerhouses rallied allies and warily headed toward the mountain gate of the Five Elements Divine Sect.
Not much time passed.
Confused arrivals entered the depths of the Five Elements Divine Sect one after the other.
Before them lay a shattered world!
Peaks lay in rubble, The Great River's path had shifted, and grand palace halls stood as mere wreckage.
"What sort of clash happened here?" somebody muttered in shock.
They struggled to fathom the scale of conflict that could wreak such havoc.
Even a typical Nascent Soul powerhouse likely couldn't unleash more than a fraction—ten or twenty percent—of this degree of ruin.
Yet nobody replied to the question!
For it held no significance!
The real focus lay on the corpses strewn lifeless amid the debris.
And the Magical Weapons, Treasures, and Storage Bags scattered nearby!
"That’s mine!"
"I spotted it first!"
"Damn you, give it back!"
A savage fight for loot broke out anew.
As additional Cultivators from the Five Elements Realm converged on the Divine Sect's entrance in search of clues, the struggle over the fallen disciples' inheritances intensified.
Beneath the rain-swept starry sky, the clamor of ruthless killing overwhelmed the mournful cries rising from the wreckage of this premier sect.
When Shi Ju arrived with his followers, this chaotic sight greeted him.
He scoffed in contempt.
Just a bunch of insects squabbling over scraps.
With a casual flick of his wrist, his subordinates fanned out at once.
"Search thoroughly!"
"Uncover who caused this!"
The Shi Family warriors obeyed and plunged into the heart of the Divine Sect.
Any Eastern Wasteland Cultivator bold enough to interfere met instant death, no questions spared.
Shi Ju lounged inside an opulent Cloud Chariot, a stunning woman at his side, but his temper simmered darkly.
Though he scorned the Eastern Wasteland's Cultivators, Shenyuan stood as a true Late Stage Nascent Soul expert, renowned for ages.
An figure of that caliber, even amid the elite of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, carried notable prestige.
Just recently, word reached him that Shenyuan might align with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect as a Guest Elder at Heaven and Earth Peak, which struck him as a prime opportunity.
Should he broker Shenyuan's entry through the Star Gate, the Shi Family would secure a formidable partner!
Great Cultivators weren't common weeds by the path; the Shi Family boasted just one.
With Shi Ju's aid, Shenyuan's placement at Heaven and Earth Peak could propel him toward a seat among the Star Gate's Nineteen Elders.
This would boost the Shi Family's sway at Heaven and Earth Peak immensely.
Above all, one key detail stood out!
Whispers held that True Master Shenyuan clashed with Luo Chen!
The pair had vied fiercely and even clashed openly.
The foe of my foe makes a natural ally, right?
Hence, Shi Ju poured special effort into this pursuit, surpassing even his stake in the Eastern Wasteland conquest, a vital sect endeavor.
But calamity unfolded in a blink.
The Five Elements Divine Sect wiped out?
Hearing this at first, Shi Ju could scarcely credit it.
On impulse, he suspected a Demon Clan assault had targeted the Five Elements Divine Sect.
Yet evidence pointed elsewhere.
Thus, today's expedition brought him here, spearheading the force into the Five Elements Realm.
"If Demon Clan powerhouses didn't strike, what force in the Eastern Wasteland wields such might? Which expert could match Shenyuan?"
"East Sun Supreme? That elder lacks the fury and bore no grudge against Shenyuan."
"Tian Douzi? No, the ancestors summoned him away, leaving him scant leisure for this lately."
"Who in the world could it be?"
The heavyweights of the Eastern Wasteland felt alien to Shi Ju.
In so brief a span, pinpointing anyone with such otherworldly prowess eluded him.
Shortly, a Glint streaked toward the Cloud Chariot from outside.
"Young Master!"
"What have you learned? Which faction butchered over 100,000 Divine Sect disciples like helpless livestock, offering no fight?"
The underling faltered: "It appears they fell not to outsiders but to their own Guardian Mountain Array."
"What?"
Shi Ju froze abruptly, parted the curtain, and stepped forth.
Despite the relentless rain, he stood radiant as a blazing sun, leaving onlookers momentarily blinded.
