Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2607 - 961: Netherworld Mountain, Yin Yang Tomb
Previously on Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster...
Liancheng Ancestor!
He stands as one of the five existing Divine Transformations within the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.
Hailing from the Lian Family among the Twelve Great Houses, he attained enlightenment in the briefest period and remains the most youthful.
In contrast to Ancestor Youli of the South Border, rumored to have exceeded the boundaries of Divine Transformation, Liancheng appears as a mere novice.
Thus, his speech carried a tone of courtesy, deferentially addressing Youli Divine Monarch.
Nevertheless, though his language stayed courteous, his actions showed no mercy whatsoever.
With a surge of divine power, the Life Gate swung wide.
The ancient portal safeguarding the Gate of Life and Death for millennia abruptly parted.
Across the vast mountains and fields, formations ignited in succession, desperately attempting to seal the Life Gate once more.
Yet inexplicably, the seamless continuity of their efforts broke down right at the decisive moment, leaving the entrance ajar.
Noticing this anomaly, Liancheng Ancestor pushed his divine might even harder.
Boom!
Innumerable arrays exploded in unison.
Joy filled Liancheng Ancestor, only to be met by a timeless voice.
“Finally returned!”
Excitement, solace, and profound ease resonated through this voice.
Though baffled, Liancheng Ancestor wasted no time pondering and promptly issued the command.
“Kill!”
Instantly, the million-strong cultivator force stationed at Unicorn Mountain rushed forth like a raging torrent toward the Southern Border Sacred Land's Life and Death Gate.
Meanwhile, the cultivators within the Gate of Life and Death, who had rested and healed for years, countered fiercely without delay.
...
Within the Yin Yang Realm.
A colossal figure towering almost a thousand feet stood unyieldingly.
Deep growls resembling those of primordial desolate beasts rumbled from its maw, rattling the souls of all present.
Immense, unrefined might focused through its massive palms pressed against the unyielding barrier ahead.
The bronze gate, sealed for ages and appearing unbreakable, screeched harshly under the pressure, slowly parting to expose a sliver.
“Open!”
It was as though the giant wrought the separation of heaven and earth from primordial void.
In furious determination, Luo Chen gathered every ounce of his bodily force and unleashed it in a mighty thrust.
Boom!
A deafening buzz filled the heads of Master Li Tian and his companions, scattering their thoughts.
Regaining their senses, they saw the gate ahead fully flung open.
High above loomed a crimson moon.
A chilling, ominous aura arose, freezing their very bones.
Glancing back at Luo Chen, the thousand-foot behemoth's shape rapidly diminished.
Returning to his ordinary human form, he was drained to the point of collapse, struggling just to remain upright.
The sheer toll of forcing open that door solely through raw physical might was unimaginable.
Staggering to his feet, Luo Chen positioned himself at the threshold.
“Everyone, I have honored our agreement!”
A relieved grin crossed Master Li Tian's face. “Truly, I haven't erred in my judgment of Friend Qi; such body refinement knows no equal across the lands.”
His face ashen, Luo Chen shook his head. “This affair draws to a close, and it's time for me to depart. Proceed as you wish, all of you!”
Astonished, Master Li Tian inquired, “You truly have no desire to behold the site of that Great Power's fall?”
Feebly gesturing dismissal, Luo Chen replied, “In my present condition, I'm ill-equipped to brave the perils within, so no matter. Once I exit this place, I'll press on to the Mountain Sea Realm, to observe the turmoil in the North Sea and listen to the West Desert's Buddha's Praise.”
So this Ba Xiu Qi Tian plans to exit not just the Yin Yang Realm, but the South Border entirely?
Master Li Tian's smile slowly vanished, and he abruptly questioned, “Friend Qi, what drives your relentless pursuit of the Demon Heart Gu Emperor?”
Luo Chen's eyes sharpened.
At that instant, a stealthy, formless assault struck from the rear.
Seeming to detect it, Luo Chen countered with a swift palm strike.
Bang!
Overpowered in the clash, Luo Chen suffered a five-fingered imprint searing into his back.
His expression twisted in shock; using the impact's momentum to retreat, he vaulted into the Underworld beyond the Death Gate.
Master Li Tian lifted his right hand, eyeing the sinister green taint creeping over it with uncertainty.
“Even after depleting his energy to breach the Death Gate, he retains the power to counter an assault?”
Bewilderment gripped the others, for the prior events had transpired in a blur.
From Master Li Tian's murmured words, they pieced together the gist of the occurrence.
Meng Shentong reflexively pulled away, yelling, “Master Li Tian, what is the meaning of this?!”
Bai Xuanjun flanked him, gaze icy. “There's no call to slay the donkey the moment the grinding is done!”
Hong Ye Granny, Purple Robe Marquis, and Hidden Sword Tower Master all felt blindsided to some degree.
In response, Master Li Tian flicked his hand.
With the motion, the noxious green from his right hand peeled away, dropping to the earth.
Upon contact, it hissed viciously.
Acrid green vapors ascended, revealing its potent venom!
A faint smile played on his lips as he clarified, “You might not realize it, but this Ba Xiu Qi Tian harbors a hidden past—he's no true son of the South Border, and his loyalties lie elsewhere.”
“Hmm?” Meng Shentong's face showed utter skepticism.
Master Li Tian elaborated in detail, “The world may be immense, yet for Nascent Soul True Masters such as ourselves, it holds no true infinity. A prodigy like Qi Tian, with no traceable path of advancement, doesn't that pique your interest in his roots?”
Shock rippled through the group.
As confusion lingered, Master Li Tian uttered a name.
“Eastern Wasteland Pill Sect, Luo Chen!”
Astonishment swept over them, with Purple Robe Marquis particularly incredulous.
“Legends speak of the Eastern Wasteland's Pill Sect leader as the supreme Qi Refiner, matchless in Daoist Law. How could he be Qi Tian?”
“Ha, Purple Robe Marquis, do you question my prowess in gathering intelligence?” Master Li Tian shot back.
Purple Robe Marquis fell silent for a beat. When it came to Nascent Soul True Masters of the Eastern Wasteland, Master Li Tian's network spanned the farthest.
He drew not just from the Zombie Alliance's spy webs, but his role as a Gu Refiner had woven countless ties, with whispers even suggesting that some Tianyuan Daoist Sect entrants to the South Border counted among his acquaintances.
