Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2671 - 985: Vajra in White, Mahakala

A faint smile graced the little monk's face. "Amitabha, that’s precisely me."

Once the opponent disclosed his origins, Luo Chen shared a meaningful glance with Qing Shuang, their gazes filled with grave concern.

Should the pair be at their prime strength, Xuan Du confronting them directly would inspire no fear whatsoever.

Yet in their current weakened state, they could deal with several experts below Great Cultivator rank; confronting a genuine Great Cultivator like the illustrious Xuan Du, however, would inevitably bring heavy casualties in combat.

Qing Shuang remained quiet, letting Luo Chen handle the talking.

As the most notorious peak Demon Emperor in the Mountain Sea Realm—notably after exposing her true form to Human Cultivators—staying silent was the wiser choice for her.

Luo Chen faced no such issue.

Just bearing the Alchemy Sect's name granted honored guest status anywhere.

Now, with Xuan Du beaming amiably, a subtle ripple stirred in Luo Chen's heart.

"Does the master intend to bar our path too?"

The little monk shook his head. "Not to obstruct you at all, but simply to cordially invite both of you to my Glazed Pure Land."

"Visit?" Luo Chen's lips twitched faintly. "A mere visit on the surface, but detention in truth, right?"

The little monk quickly waved his hands. "Master Luo, you overthink it. My invitation is genuine for tea and Dao discussions. If you decline, I won't compel you. Still, then the Ming King Golden Body stays unavailable for your friends' use."

Luo Chen's brow furrowed as he glanced instinctively at Qing Shuang.

Qing Shuang sent a mental message: "The West Desert Transmission Array lies concealed, not built atop a Spirit Vein. Activating it demands the Buddhist Power stored within the Peacock Great Ming King Golden Body. This technique is typically kept highly secret; Xuan Du shouldn't know of it."

Luo Chen's mood dipped; earlier, he had planned their return route to the Eastern Wasteland with Qing Shuang.

The quickest option was the Super Teleportation Formation linked to Cangwu Mountain—just an instant's travel!

Traveling by foot from east to west, by contrast, would consume years, far more than one or two.

Moreover, traversing Zhongzhou amid its volatile post-war tensions brimmed with dangers.

Their conditions were dire, demanding a Spirit Land for swift recovery.

Above all, almost a decade had elapsed since departing the Eastern Wasteland, and Luo Lingxi aged on; more delays would truly hinder her future cultivation path.

Further postponement was unacceptable!

The optimal plan right now: seize the little monk and seize the local transmission array.

Yet the foe's calm demeanor revealed their firm grip on the array too.

Should Xuan Du's true form tamper with the array mid-transmission, disaster would follow.

He narrowed his eyes at the little monk. "Just a simple visit?"

The little monk's cultivation wasn't advanced, evidently not Master Xuan Du's actual body—merely a vessel for the other's Divine Consciousness.

Even beneath Luo Chen's crushing Divine Soul pressure, he stood firm, barely fazed.

Seriousness etched his features as he declared, "Monks never lie. In truth, I seek to propose a collaboration with you both."

"Collaboration?"

"Indeed, details unfit for this spot. Yet my terms promise pure benefits without harm to you." He pressed palms together in respect. "You may depart freely afterward, and I shall not meddle."

After brief reflection, Luo Chen nodded at last.

"Show the way! I'm eager to see the legendary Glazed Pure Land for myself."

An sincere grin lit the little monk's face as he headed for the Buddha Mother Temple's doorway.

Trailing him, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang traded looks silently, a silent accord already forged between them.

...

The West Desert name diverges from the Mountain Sea World's Five Continents.

Locals call this realm Buddha Land or Green Oasis.

Having crossed the Extreme East Hanhai Desert, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang entered the neighboring Mosen King Court.

Legends describe the Mosen King Court as an immense realm where Buddhist Practitioners mingle with mortals, hosting myriad nations that revere endless Golden Buddhas and Bodhisattvas amid countless ancient temples.

Demon Beast hordes plaguing the Oasis Buddha Land hail from the distant Far West.

The Glazed Pure Land Luo Chen referenced holds legendary status across West Desert lands.

Lacking a permanent mountain gate or wandering disciples, it persists as tales of a lone monk and his temple.

Whispers claim it's a secret Cave Heaven or a nomadic Buddhist Temple.

Luo Chen soon uncovered the truth behind these tales.

Staring into the emptiness where subtle spatial ripples shimmered faintly, he gasped in astonishment. "Space Spiritual Treasure?"

In the midst of his ritual preparations, the little monk heard Luo Chen pinpoint the Glazed Pure Land's core nature and promptly held him in higher esteem.

"A speck holds Myriad Mountains, billions shrink to inches; unseen by mortal eyes, the Dharma realm gleams afar. Master, your vision is exceptional!"

Luo Chen let out a chuckle, his eyes drifting naturally to Qing Shuang.

Qing Shuang had assiduously pursued the True Meaning of Space Law; owning such an artifact would let her dwell eternally in chaotic voids, rendering her untouchable by any in the world.

Even Divine Transformation Great Powers!

Still, Qing Shuang showed little excitement, only mild interest.

Noting her response, Luo Chen mulled it over.

Of course!

Qing Shuang refined the Jikong Flower; success would birth her own inner space.

She could navigate chaotic void streams unaided—why depend on mere spiritual treasures?

Nearby, the little monk completed his setup, on the verge of unveiling the Glazed Pure Land.
