Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2695 - 995

Throughout his path, Luo Chen accumulated a multitude of foes.

Yet with his rising strength, he personally slew the majority of them, while the survivors only fled through sheer luck.

Two Great Demon Emperors stood out among them: Bull Demon and Bi Zheng!

Once, they conspired with Huang Man to corner Luo Chen desperately, compelling Qing Shuang to escort him to Cangwu Mountain for the Harmonization Pill formula.

This grudge had lingered eternally in Luo Chen's heart.

Fate's whims were truly unpredictable, placing them now beneath Luo Chen's command.

"I wonder how they'd react upon discovering this?"

A soft chuckle escaped Luo Chen's lips, his gaze flickering with a perilous gleam.

Yet suddenly, doubts crept into Luo Chen's mind.

Juan Kuang and Bull Demon posed lesser threats. These demons once served under Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, and unsurprisingly surrendered to Cangwu Mountain after Di Tian's demise.

Bi Zheng, however?

"I recall his ties to Ao Kuang, the Wolf Race overlord—why align with Cangwu Mountain? Merely because his true form bears traces of the ancient fierce bird Bi Fang's bloodline, yielding to the Yu Race Sacred Land?"

Luo Chen shook his head, refusing to dwell on the Demon Clan's intricate power struggles.

Quickly, he swept his eyes over the light curtain, committing to memory the names of known and unknown Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.

Thunder Prison Divine Roc, He Qingzi, White Crane King, Daoist Xue Jiu... Ye Xingtong, Han Shanque, Bai Mei Immortal Ape

In total, twenty-five Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators!

The familiar ones frequented Cangwu Mountain. The others, Luo Chen knew vaguely from the near two-hundred-year Human-Demon War in the Eastern Wasteland.

They had long dominated their territories.

Previously loyal to Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, they—like Bull Demon and Juan Kuang—fled to Cangwu Mountain Holy Land after his downfall.

Qi Xia Emperor apparently scorned such subordinates, judging by her lone assaults on the Holy Land.

Today, those very Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, once howling for war, bowed to Luo Chen's authority!

A fleeting wave of surreal disbelief washed over him.

"Even I deem it ridiculous. Should they learn the truth, chaos would surely erupt."

Luo Chen quashed the urge to call forth these demon cultivators and reveal himself, stowing the list securely in his storage ring.

Qi Xia Emperor had granted him the Transmitting Truth Hall Lord role, leaving him no choice but to accept.

Still, wielding the Transmitting Truth Hall Lord's authority openly terrified Luo Chen, save in dire straits.

Amid both Demon Clan and East Desolate Human Clan, his position remained perilously delicate.

Likewise, his present standing lacked the clout to bind the East Desolate Human Clan to that ceasefire treaty.

"They shall serve as safeguards for unforeseen crises!"

With a sigh, Luo Chen meticulously sealed the scroll away.

At last, his focus shifted to the Glazed Fire Umbrella, a gift from Qi Xia Emperor.

"Blood Jade Three Flame Umbrella, Pseudo-Spirit Treasure Rank."

Murmuring its title, he caressed the heated glazed fan handle, gingerly infusing it with Qi Power.

Upon contact, brief opposition arose, yet the Qi Power swiftly circulated without hindrance.

Youquan spoke true.

A strand of Fire Origin had truly been woven into the fan's creation.

From Qi Xia Emperor herself?

Luo Chen stroked the fire fan, eyes half-closed in contemplation.

…

Several days passed.

Three silhouettes departed Transmitting Truth Hall, mounted a commonplace Magical Treasure Flying Boat, looped once, then soared west, fading into the distant skies.

Atop the peak housing Cangwu Mountain's Zhukong Hall.

Two pairs of eyes tracked the Flying Boat's receding form, tension thickening the air.

Youquan finally broke the silence.

"Qing Shuang, are you truly allowing him to depart so freely?"

Qing Shuang's face stayed impassive, her tone sharp and pure, "We cannot retain him."

Youquan creased his brow, "Yet your fates are intertwined in life and death. What if calamity strikes him on his ventures? Better to detain him forcibly at Cangwu Mountain, aid his Divine Transformation breakthrough, then excise the Life and Death Gu. Thus, all worries vanish."

Qing Shuang shook her head, offering no full explanation.

Residing at Cangwu Mountain barred Luo Chen from reaching God Transformation Realm.

"Hmph!"

Youquan huffed coldly, diverting the subject as he gazed skyward at the grand palace piercing the Nine Heavens.

"How fares Lord Yuanjun's condition?"

Concern laced his words.

Qing Shuang's visage grew somber, yet she rallied her resolve and replied, "Worry not. My sister's unparalleled prowess ensures no threat from anyone in the Mountain Sea Realm."

Could Qi Xia Emperor truly face no peril?

From the North Sea Primordial Demon Sect's Soul Refining Elder's Sealing Soul Array to Ancestor Tianyuan of Dark Abyss Sect invoking Heavenly Tribulation in his final sacrifice, each ordeal sorely tested Qi Xia Emperor.

Particularly in the clash with Tianyuan Daoist Sect, God Transformation Realm experts from the Upper Realm poured down like rain, while Tianyuan's Five Elders roused a Void Refining Stage Ancient Desolate Beast, nearly dooming Qi Xia Emperor in the Netherworld Sea.

Following relentless brutal combats, the Emperor's present health likely fell short of expectations.

Worry gnawed at Youquan inwardly, his face betraying unease.

Qing Shuang drew a profound breath, "From here on, it falls to me!"

Youquan froze, sensing a revelation, yet pressed on:

"What do you intend?"

"This realm constrains my sister excessively. For true freedom, ascension to the Upper Realm is essential. But as a non-native Divine Transformation, she can't draw the Ascension's Spirit Mechanism, hence... I must attain Divine Transformation!"
