Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2570 - 945: Soul Banner Secrets (Part 3)
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Daoist Zheng Guan showed no hesitation in accepting; he simply mentioned that a short wait of several days was required before he set up their living quarters.
...
"This cave mansion boasts such plentiful Spirit Qi; Friend Qi should take it!"
Having arrived earlier, Bei Puti turned down the dedicated Fourth-Order Medium-grade Cave Mansion, choosing a regular one in Nine Mist Immortal City instead.
Standing nearby with a grin, Master Ming Lei remarked, "Looks like everyone’s already aware of your fame; no introduction from me was necessary!"
Luo Chen brushed it off with a casual wave.
Building a reputation serves as a vital foundation, yet grasping the craft behind its creation is truly a skill in itself.
His smooth entry wouldn’t have been possible without Master Ming Lei’s support.
As Luo Chen inspected the cave mansion, Master Ming Lei observed him closely and couldn’t resist inquiring,
"Brother Qi, do you believe Zheng Guan’s earlier words hold truth or are they fabricated?"
Positioned at the cultivation room’s doorway, Luo Chen answered without looking back, "Whether it’s real or not makes no difference. We’ve only just begun connecting with them, yet they’re already dropping profound statements during our brief meeting and making bold declarations about chaos in the heavens and earth. It’s clearly meant to stir unease."
Master Ming Lei agreed with a nod. Throughout his time in Wind and Thunder Gorge, he’d detected no shifts in the heavens and earth.
Once the full check was complete, Luo Chen assured himself that everything was in order here.
Anticipation began to build in him for Mi Realm Mountain.
Nine Mist Immortal City’s Spirit Vein Rank reaches such elevated levels that it outshines the gates of numerous standard Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects.
Yet this serves only as the entrance to Mi Realm Mountain.
One can easily picture how superior the Spirit Veins inside Mi Realm Mountain must be!
While ordinary folks dread wild cultivation out of worry over Heaven and Earth Assimilation, Luo Chen felt no such dread.
With the deep Purple Mansion Barriers and the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror’s help in bolstering the Three Souls United Power, he could practice cultivation without restraint.
Curiosity lingered about the technique employed by Songyang Alliance Leader to address this issue for everyone else.
"Incidentally, there’s something I’d like to ask." A memory surfaced for Luo Chen, prompting his question to Master Ming Lei. "Regarding Bei Puti, are you acquainted with him?"
Master Ming Lei paused in surprise at first, then openly admitted, "I’ve not interacted with him extensively, so my knowledge is limited. Still, I’m aware of some details from his past."
Through Master Ming Lei’s account, Luo Chen gained a sharper picture of Bei Puti.
The Luo Sect stands as a mighty Great Sect in the Southern Border!
Boasting millions of adherents and tens of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples!
Openly, the sect harbors six Nascent Soul True Masters.
Comprising the late-stage Nascent Soul Sect Hierarch, the middle-stage Nascent Soul Left and Right Envoys, plus three Guardian Kings.
However, a shocking upheaval struck the Inner Sect of the Luo Sect in those days.
Nanyi Qi, Luo Sect’s Right Envoy and a rival to Bei Puti in strength, covertly massacred promising sect disciples while practicing forbidden arts, even setting sights on the three Guardian Kings.
Back then, many assumed he’d absorbed the Gu insects from the Demonic Mind Gu, causing his temperament to twist wildly.
Eventually, after the Sect Hierarch intervened directly to subdue him, the truth emerged: he’d pursued the Beihai Demon Path, plotting to forge the whole Luo Sect into a Million Soul-Consuming Banner capable of challenging Divine Transformation Great Power!
Following the fierce clash within the sect, Right Envoy Nanyi Qi disappeared entirely, leaving the Luo Sect severely weakened in essence.
Upon finishing his tale, Master Ming Lei expressed his wonder.
"I know of the North Sea Soul Banner, graded by the souls it contains. Rumors claim a basic Ten Thousand Soul Banner matches magic items, a Hundred Thousand Souls Banner equals True Devices, and a Million Soul-Consuming Banner stands against Spiritual Treasures. Yet Nanyi Qi’s plan was overly naive; even wiping out the Luo Sect’s million members for a Soul-Consuming Banner would yield a chaotic result, hardly enough to menace Divine Transformation Great Power."
Luo Chen concurred with a nod.
Crafting a soul banner demands more than sheer soul numbers; their caliber is crucial as well.
To match Spiritual Treasure prowess, a Million Soul-Consuming Banner requires no fewer than a hundred Nascent Soul Stage souls, alongside a Divine Transformation rank Main Soul.
Nanyi Qi had veered onto a misguided route.
All at once.
The reason for Bei Puti’s vague familiarity dawned on Luo Chen at last.
"Nanyi Qi, Bei Puti... Haha, doesn’t the energy Nan Qi Old Ghost from the Beihai Mo Luo Sect released back then match Bei Puti’s precisely?"
With this realization in place, Luo Chen took his leave from Master Ming Lei and secured the cave mansion.
Such turmoil in the Southern Border spells danger for most.
For him, though, it promised nothing short of a tremendous prospect.
Provided he fortifies the Purple Mansion and leverages the Chen Yuan Immortal Mirror’s assistance, it equates to a prime shot at advancing in cultivation!
