Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2611 - 963: This Sect Permits You, At Full Strength

Buzz...

An eerie noise abruptly resounded, echoing across the full expanse of Netherworld Mountain.

Granny Hong Ye's complexion drained of color, and she pulled back her shaking hand.

“It’s broken!”

Her voice carried not just relief but also a touch of delight.

In her grasp lay a Gu insect that looked like a turtle's shell.

This was none other than the Fourth-tier top-grade Gu worm, the Ten Thousand Array Gu!

Such a Gu worm doesn't emerge from nature; it's crafted artificially after birth.

It starts with Gu insects tied to the Path of Array, enhanced by the Great Demon Inference Turtle, etched with the Seven Basic Array Prohibitions, and only completes after long years of cultivation.

Armed with this Gu, one can swiftly set up nine out of ten Arrays existing in the world.

Beyond that, legends say that Array Path masters can employ this Gu to grasp the True Intent of Array-related laws, propelling them toward the Divine Transformation realm.

Granny Hong Ye's journey here aimed straight for the Ten Thousand Array Gu.

Master Li Tian eyed the turtle shell she held, a flicker of avarice in his gaze, yet he offered verbal commendation.

“You shattered even the Arrays set by Great Powers; clearly, your skill in the Path of Array has hit the pinnacle, Hong Ye.”

Hong Ye shook her head, “It’s not my prowess at play, but Yin Yang Zi didn’t fortify much in his lifetime. After all, who sets up Arrays all over their own cave mansion?”

That logic held true.

The Yin Yang Realm differed from typical ancient secret realms.

Standard secret realms were typically forged by beleaguered cultivators to block intruders, compelling them to erect deadly barriers. Some went further, designing trials to bequeath their cultivation methods.

Yet the Yin Yang Realm stemmed from the desperate efforts of the Great Power Yin Yang Zi right before his demise; he poured everything into exploring Gu insects for reincarnational possession, leaving no thought for elaborate Arrays.

Furthermore, over the flow of two millennia, the Arrays in this place had eroded away, handing Granny Hong Ye the chance to dismantle them with ease.

Still, this feat underscored Hong Ye’s expertise in the Path of Array.

Granny Hong Ye gazed forward, blending curiosity with wariness, “The outer Big Formation of the Yin Yang Tomb has cracked partly; the remainder will fade in due course. My role concludes here, and what follows...”

Master Li Tian fixated on the Ten Thousand Array Gu, poised to speak, but his features twisted abruptly.

With a swift motion, he launched an attack to the right.

Boom!

The unexpected blow struck nothing but air.

“Master Li Tian, such a fiery disposition!”

A figure materialized gradually, uttering taunting words.

Upon spotting the arrival, Master Li Tian hissed out three words in chill tones.

“Meng Shentong!”

Meng Shentong clasped his hands, “Indeed, it’s me!”

His eyes shifted to the Array dissolving before them, filled with astonishment, “The Yin Yang Tomb truly exists, and you’ve located it.”

Master Li Tian drew in a sharp breath and questioned, “Why didn’t you stay on guard outside like I instructed, sneaking in without a sound?”

Meng Shentong cast a scornful look at Master Li Tian, “Stop taking everyone for idiots; do you honestly believe I’m clueless about the Yin Yang Tomb’s secrets?”

Nearby, Granny Hong Ye froze briefly, “Didn’t they say only formulas for refining Fifth-tier Gu worms lie within the tomb?”

Master Li Tian’s visage grew ashen with dread.

“Gu formulas?” Meng Shentong burst into laughter, ignoring Master Li Tian’s dark expression, pressing ahead, “What use are simple Gu formulas sans the proper materials, without ideal timing, location, and allies? Could they truly yield a Fifth-tier Divine Gu?”

Granny Hong Ye appeared to grasp something, her lips quivering as she murmured, “Is it possible that inside, there’s a five...”

“Exactly!”

Meng Shentong aimed to elaborate, yet Master Li Tian cut him off.

Donning a grave look tinged with awe, he declared, “From the hints and remnants I’ve pieced together from the Gate of Life and Death’s ancient records, the Great Power Yin Yang Zi’s final madness held purpose. He devised a technique mimicking death to shift life, perishing with his bonded savage beast, the Netherworld Earth Dragon. Through the Life and Death Gu, he planned to seize a soul for rebirth from fellow cultivators, evading the ultimate lifespan limit. Regrettably, fate ran short. As they both met their end, the Life and Death Gu would crumble too. The fresh Life and Death Gu he’d begun lacked the needed rank, demanding time to ripen, so pseudo-death and revival proved untimely.”

“And what remains in the Yin Yang Tomb is that immature Life and Death Gu, not yet reached Fifth Order!”

At these words, color rushed back to Granny Hong Ye’s wan cheeks.

Fanatic zeal gleamed in Meng Shentong’s eyes as well, “Though short of Fifth Order now, its foundation roots in the Fifth Order. Should we claim it and raise it to Fifth Order, then hunt compatible savage beasts in the Wilderness matching its essence, ascending to the Divine Transformation realm becomes effortless.”

Master Li Tian regarded the pair with icy detachment, “Thus, you intend to vie with me?”

Meng Shentong shot back, “Before a path to divine ascension, would you release your hold?”

Master Li Tian turned to Granny Hong Ye, “And you, Hong Ye?”

Granny Hong Ye’s mouth worked silently, at a loss for reply.

Right then!

Whoosh!

A beam of dark radiance erupted from the earth, darting directly into the Yin Yang Tomb amid the lingering Big Formation.

On inspection, the dark light cloaked a winged figure.

“Curse it!”

“Another’s beating us to it!”

“Pursue!”

These exclamations erupted from the three in unison.

The final cry came from Granny Hong Ye, who grabbed the moment to surge forward, plunging into the Yin Yang Tomb without pause.

Meng Shentong dashed after her swiftly.

Master Li Tian, despite his deepest stake, trailed behind.

As he observed the leading pair, his gaze sharpened, and a faint, perilous smile curled the edges of his steely face.
