Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2571 - 946

The "few days" that Zheng Guan spoke of weren't merely a short span.

Over half a month of anticipation passed before the moment arrived to venture into Mi Realm Mountain.

This particular day.

Master Ming Lei showed up outside Luo Chen's Cave Mansion, standing there in silent anticipation.

Soon enough, the doors of the cave mansion swung open, revealing Luo Chen's remarkably imposing stature as he emerged.

Spotting Luo Chen, Master Ming Lei blurted out: "Truly, the world has undergone transformations!"

Luo Chen glanced his way and replied with a grin, "Only now are you catching on?"

Master Ming Lei gave a wry smile, "Living hand-to-mouth as a rogue cultivator, I rarely practice outside. Even on the rare occasions I do, it's only superficial, failing to grasp that sensation. But in the last half month, when I attempted deeper cultivation, my Nascent Soul grew wildly agitated, nearly slipping out of the Purple Mansion on its own. Without my prior precautions, I could have vanished into the vast heavens and earth."

Luo Chen gave a nod, his own encounters mirroring the description perfectly.

What set him apart was likely his Purple Mansion Barrier, which surpassed the norm, offering superior protection from external forces and firmly securing his Nascent Soul in place.

This must be among the benefits that Five Spirit Roots cultivators gain upon reaching higher levels!

Master Ming Lei let out a sigh, "I once looked down on the spirit vein in Wind and Thunder Gorge, believing it too weak to carry me beyond Nascent Soul. Yet now, it appears even flawed aspects hold their merits!"

"Could Feng Bu Yan's desire for your Wind and Thunder Gorge stem from this very factor?" Luo Chen pondered aloud.

Master Ming Lei hummed in agreement.

Wind and Thunder Gorge's surroundings are brutal, riddled with turbulent Earth Qi.

Spirit veins exist there, but they're fragmented in many spots; just one Fourth-Tier Spirit Cave exists, scarcely enough to sustain a single Nascent Soul True Master's practice.

In usual circumstances, it would rank as a subpar cultivation site.

However, amid the South Border's era of dramatic worldly shifts, it has transformed into a pristine, undisturbed prime spirit vein.

"Time to move!" Luo Chen declared steadily, striding toward the City Lord Mansion.

Mi Realm Mountain's portal lay concealed inside the City Lord Mansion, home to Zheng Guan Daoist.

Trailing alongside him, Master Ming Lei started sharing updates on lately occurring matters.

Mighty individuals flocking to Nine Mist Immortal City kept rising in count, surpassing expectations in volume.

Starting from six or seven at first, the group swelled to over a dozen over time.

Such a crowd proved quite alarming.

Luo Chen, however, remained unperturbed by it all.

Having journeyed from Eastern Wasteland to North Sea, and onward to Zhongzhou South Border, he had witnessed countless major sects.

A gathering of more than a dozen Nascent Soul True Masters might seem daunting, yet in truth, they amounted to mere disorganized rabble.

At the Molan Court assembly pitting Mo Luo Sect against Canghai Righteous Alliance, the tally of Nascent Soul powerhouses matched this scale. In the most intense clashes at Lingtian Pass, it dwarfed this number entirely.

To say nothing of the famed holy lands.

The real menace wasn't the Nascent Soul Stage experts within Nine Mist Immortal City, but rather the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance!

Should they rally these formidable presences into a unified force, it would forge a dominant power across the South Border!

A dominant power bold enough to confront the Gate of Life and Death.

"No, it's not quite there yet."

Luo Chen pressed his lips together; opposing the holy lands demanded peak forces rivaling Divine Transformation Great Powers.

Therefore, the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance's boldness in defying the Gate of Life and Death couldn't depend entirely on these gathered Nascent Soul cultivators.

"So, what exactly backs their audacity?"

Amid these swirling considerations, Luo Chen and his ally soon reached the City Lord Mansion.

Zheng Guan Daoist's apprentice, Hu Jin, came out to welcome them personally, guiding them through winding paths within the estate until they stood before what appeared to be a plain grand hall.

[Chengjun Hall]

Luo Chen quietly recited the inscription on the hall's overhead sign.

It was then that he spotted the others lingering beyond the entrance.

Thirteen in total, every one a Nascent Soul powerhouse!

The well-known Left Envoy of Luo Sect, Bei Puti, stood included in their midst.

In that instant, next to him, Master Ming Lei's domain erupted fiercely, akin to a feline arching its back in fury.

A contrasting domain, righteous yet malevolent, rushed forward without delay.

The clash of these two domains unfolded.

Suddenly, the level ground echoed with roaring winds and thunder.

Boom!

Master Ming Lei stumbled backward, glaring ferociously at the approaching figure.

"It's you!"

The monk in white robes, decorated with crimson plum motifs, held up one hand in a soothing pose, though his gaze burned with intense hostility.

"How bold of you to step out from Wind and Thunder Gorge?"

With those words, the righteous yet sinister Nascent Soul Domain bore down again.

Master Ming Lei's face shifted subtly; inside Wind and Thunder Gorge, he held no fear of this foe. Yet beyond its bounds, he was merely an average early-stage Nascent Soul Conversion cultivator.

Against this hybrid of demonic and Buddhist traits, a true monstrosity, he stood no chance.

As he clenched his jaw, readying to push back, a towering form abruptly positioned itself in front, guarding him.

In a single stride!

Luo Chen advanced with one step to intercept.

Regardless of how fiercely the white-robed monk's domain churned or how overwhelming his pressure grew, Luo Chen endured like a steadfast rock, solidly halting the onslaught.

"That's sufficient!"

The white-robed monk's eyes narrowed, "Qitian, with Ming Lei and Feng Bu Yan plotting against me, you're now defending him?"

Luo Chen responded with scorn, "Ning Yuzhuo, should you crave death, I'd be glad to grant it."

He uttered this with unwavering assurance, as though fulfillment lay within easy reach.

The surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators watching couldn't restrain their astonished stares toward Luo Chen.

Ning Yuzhuo's Nascent Soul Domain radiated tremendous might, surpassing a typical early-stage Nascent Soul practitioner.

Master Ming Lei's swift setback in the domain clash demonstrated this clearly.

Yet astonishingly, the previously low-key Luo Chen suffered no impact whatsoever.
