Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2574 - 947: Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance, Powerhouses Gather

The Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance!

Currently, it stands as one of the mightiest powers across the South Border.

Back in the old days, it lurked deep in secrecy, shrouded in enigma.

Only lately, through bold and repeated moves, has it started to step into the light.

Revelations about the backgrounds of its most prominent active leaders have finally unveiled the true nature of this massive organization.

The Alliance Hierarch, True Master Songyang, who serves as the Supreme Elder of the Songshan Sect and has reached the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Vice Alliance Hierarch, Hong Ye Granny, Supreme Elder of the Red Leaf Sect, famed as a top-tier Great Cultivator with unmatched prowess in arrays.

Even with only these two at the helm, backed by their respective sects, they embody the pinnacle of strength in the South Border.

Now, throw in the Purple Blood Sect, White Cloud Temple... all these Nascent Soul powerhouses uniting—it's beyond comprehension what grand scheme they're plotting.

And this baffling scheme has, by now, partially come to light.

To challenge the Gate of Life and Death!

The Gate of Life and Death serves as the only Divine Transformation Holy Land within the South Border.

Though it seems somewhat faded next to the holy lands of the other four continents, with just a single Divine Transformation Great Power holding the fort, no Nascent Soul force would ever dream of crossing it.

The Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance's bold moves amount to smashing an egg against a rock.

Yet they have no choice—they're compelled to act!

What's more, plenty of others are scrambling to throw their lot in with this epic undertaking.

"They're driven to the brink as well!"

From the summit of Mi Realm Mountain Peak, within a veil of illusions, a white-haired old woman in red robes whispered, her features etched with pity.

At her side loomed a man in flowing robes, his face marked by a grim furrow.

Hearing her words, he let out a sharp, derisive huff.

"Sure, a handful might be truly cornered, but the majority are just coveting the holy land's treasures!"

Hong Ye Granny paused, blinking in surprise before turning to the man with puzzled eyes. "Songyang, what are you getting at?"

True Master Songyang clasped his hands behind him, eyes fixed on the climbers ascending below.

"You've secluded yourself in the Red Leaf Sect for ages, missing the shifts in the Outer Continent's balances of power and blind to the sweeping tides reshaping this world."

Hong Ye Granny creased her forehead. "Just say it plainly—no beating around the bush."

True Master Songyang gave a sly grin. "It started with the Western Desert Hanging Monastery's lockdown, followed by the North Sea Primordial Demon Sect's utter ruin. Amid all that, the Gate of Life and Death steadily pulled back its grip on the South Border, sealing its gates. Clearly, a sinister undercurrent sweeps through the whole Mountain Sea Realm, one that terrifies even sacred lands and drives them to hide away. Get caught in it, and total destruction looms."

"That's way too dramatic!" Hong Ye Granny shook her head, rejecting the notion outright.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, Divine Transformation marks the absolute peak—what hidden force could possibly scare them like that?

"So how do you account for the Dark Abyss Sect's collapse?" True Master Songyang shot back.

Hong Ye Granny's brows knit together faintly. "Word is they crossed a supreme Great Demon, sparking an assault on their stronghold."

True Master Songyang dipped his head, then shook it with a sigh. "Holy lands of such stature—how would they ever pick a fight? They trample everyone else instead, just like the Tianyuan Daoist Sect's relentless expansion: they've swallowed up eighty percent of the North Sea Cultivation World, claim nominal rule over the Eastern Wasteland, and are now clashing hard with the Demon Clan in battle. They're even starting to cast hungry eyes on our South Border. Faced with that, who has the guts to push back?"

"Tianyuan Daoist Sect?" Hong Ye Granny looked utterly lost.

Those folks are the real juggernaut!

Dominating an entire continent, untouchable by any challenger.

Lurking patiently for three millennia, they stay dormant, but when they strike, the whole realm trembles.

Should their push into the South Border pay off, the heavens themselves might soon carry the Tianyuan name.

Dawning on her, the old woman jolted. "Wait—you're suggesting those rushing to join our Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance aim to hitch onto our tie-up with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, strike the Gate of Life and Death alongside them, and grab the spoils?"

True Master Songyang let out a soft laugh, offering no denial.

As the founder of the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance, he understood its inner workings better than anyone.

To the outside world, it looked colossal, yet it was merely a loose gathering of elites from scattered groups, with zero true unity.

Among elite cultivators, only a sparse handful had hit Late Stage Nascent Soul.

They could bulldoze average powers with ease, but pitted against the Gate of Life and Death, they fell woefully short.

Still, in this dire setup, he brazenly announced plans to assault the holy land.

Anyone with a shred of sense could likely figure out his ace in the hole.

The most straightforward take: a pact with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, borrowing their Great Powers to square off against the Gate's own titans!

Both peril and promise dangle here.

Be it breaking free from cultivation's chains or plundering the holy land's riches, no one could stay indifferent.

"Too bad the window we've got is so narrow; our built-up might is nowhere near ready." After his faint chuckle, True Master Songyang's tone turned wistful. "If only we could pull in those two ancient codgers from the Luo Sect and Xuanji Sect, we'd stand on firmer ground."

Hong Ye Granny wavered. "Right now, in the Zombie Alliance, we've got you, me, Master Li Tian, and old man Burial. Isn't that sufficient?"

"Far from it!"

True Master Songyang drew in a heavy breath. "It's not nearly enough just to tackle the Gate of Life and Death; even partnering with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect leaves our leverage too thin."

Hong Ye Granny couldn't hold back. "On that note, you're the one pushing hard for this Tianyuan Daoist Sect alliance. Aren't you worried about letting the fox into the henhouse, only to get devoured later?"

On that point, True Master Songyang's face flickered through various shades, but ultimately, he just grumbled, "That's not something we can worry about now."

With that, he dropped the subject, turning his attention to the ascenders down below.

"Among those we summoned this round, most are run-of-the-mill, but a couple stand out as real prospects."

Tracing his line of sight to the base, Hong Ye Granny nodded along.

Absolutely!

Be it the widely acclaimed Left Envoy of Luo Sect, Beibodhi, or that enigmatic white-robed monk with his mixed aura, both cut impressive figures.
