Luo Chen discovered a subtle slave mark from the deceased Divine Transformation Great Power Chun Yuan on Di Tu's brow. Unable to fully unravel its solid soul prohibition immediately, he opted to wait for its natural weakening before imprinting his own. Returning weary to the Flying Boat amid his companions' relief, Luo Chen reflected on the quality gap in his Divine Soul against true Great Powers, contemplating challenges from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Luo Chen’s prowess, verified through the Hanging Temple’s Thirty-Six Arhat Array, had become utterly transparent.

A clear disparity remains from Divine Transformation might.

Clashing directly with Tianyuan Daoist Sect is utterly forbidden!

"This matter requires meticulous planning to craft a foolproof plan for secretly reclaiming my Life Soul without disturbing Great Power Lian Cheng."

Luo Chen pressed his lips tight, pondering in silence.

The Flying Boat advanced leisurely, traversing Lingtian and crossing Dieyun. En route, it skimmed past allies like Fenghua Palace and Tiandu Sect without pausing.

It hovered briefly upon nearing the Nether Abyss, diverting toward Taishan Sect.

Ultimately, however, Luo Chen bypassed Taishan Sect.

He had pledged to assist Deng Taiyue with finishing the Ti Hu Pill refinement, yet his personal affairs demanded priority.

Thanks to years of study and insights from Mr. Xuan Yan’s Alchemy Scriptures, the Ti Hu Pill formula’s core makeup was now largely assembled. Sufficient trial herbs, paired with Attribute Panel checks, could fully revive it.

Time is essential for that!

Luo Chen currently lacks precisely that—time—so he shuns any diversions.

Thus, the Flying Boat maintained its path, sailing steadily for an entire year before reentering the Nether Abyss.

Even so, while he sought to sidestep it, others had obsessed over this issue for ages.

Beside the murky Ming Shui River, a poised middle-aged Daoist stared in shock toward the Nether Abyss direction, then dubiously at the three aboard the Flying Boat.

After a deep inhale, he cupped hands in greeting, "It has been a long time, Alchemy Sect!"

Luo Chen composed his matching surprise and saluted back, "Master Taiyue, how have you been lately?"

Deng Taiyue offered a bitter smile, "I am not well, Brother Deng. If I couldn’t wait any longer for you, I was planning to forcibly enter this life-difficult-to-near Nether Abyss."

Luo Chen lifted an eyebrow, uncertain how the man pinpointed Luo Tian Sect’s Nether Abyss lair.

It must tie to his masterful techniques!

He steadied his emotions, then asked offhandedly, "Brother Deng is here for the Ti Hu Pill matter?"

Deng Taiyue nodded with keenness, "Indeed! Over the years, I have collected a lot of materials related to Ti Hu Pill, just waiting for you to retrieve them, but you have not acted. Meanwhile, I have felt the pain of being stuck at the sixth layer of Nascent Soul for so long, and I can hardly sit still."

Deng Taiyue was actually advanced in years, having gained fame young.

Yet, missing the Insight into Law’s True Intent early on had bottlenecked him, halting realm progress.

Even as Jiuling Yuanjun overtook him later, how could he bear it?

Upon learning from Zhongzhou tales of Luo Chen battling Demon Emperor Qing Shuang, he grasped Luo Chen’s vigor.

Employing a Unique Secret Technique he unearthed alone by Nether Abyss banks, denied entry, he lingered powerless.

To his astonishment, Luo Chen returned from beyond rather than Luo Tian Sect cultivators emerging.

What fortune!

Luo Chen’s thoughts turned, and he nodded faintly, "Regarding Ti Hu Pill, I have made some headway. But some essential materials are left in the sect, if Brother Deng doesn’t mind, why not come with me to visit Luo Tian Sect?"

Deng Taiyue’s gaze brightened, his features alight with joy, "If Brother Luo says so, I gladly accept!"

Luo Chen agreed, anchoring by the bank, chatting idly with Deng Taiyue as he awaited Xuan Turtle’s direction.

In the interim, he briefly presented Hao Ranzi and Yu Jiaolong to Deng Taiyue.

Yet Deng Taiyue displayed little curiosity toward them, offering mere courteous nods for Luo Chen’s regard.

Hao Ranzi and Yu Jiaolong harbored no bitterness, knowing such titans were once unreachable summits; even sharing the grand realm now, parity remained a fantasy.

Still, Luo Chen’s stature grew ever sharper in their view.

His contacts spanned Eastern Wasteland’s pinnacle experts, gracing Holy Lands and forbidden realms time and again.

No trace lingered of Dan Chenzi’s wary hesitance; instead shone the majestic bearing of the Eastern Wasteland-renowned Alchemy Sect Master, basking in transient glory!

Under such a figure’s banner, despite eroded roots, the Great Dao chase might endure.

"The foundation of Upper Nether Immortal City still exists, now occupied by rogue cultivators, which is indeed a bit wasteful. With a bit of tidying, it is not impossible for it to serve as a foundational site for an Ascendant Sect. I don’t know what Blessed Land your sect relies on within the Nether Abyss, but from the sect’s development perspective, being too secluded from the world isn’t conducive to heritage. If Brother Luo is interested, my Taishan Sect can offer assistance, helping you relocate to Upper Nether Immortal City. Of course, returning to Luotian Domain is also an option."

"This place is quite close to East Sun Sect, wouldn’t they have thoughts if Luo Tian Sect occupies here?"

"Haha, with Brother Luo’s strength, what fear is there of a mere East Sun Sect?"

"True, I actually quite wish to meet that Great Elder of East Sun Sect."

In their jovial exchange, Eastern Wasteland luminaries seemed trivial.

The present Eastern Wasteland, scarred by relentless conflicts, stood starkly depleted.

Should Luo Tian Sect resurface, vast swaths of land awaited casual claim.

Any who dared impede must gauge their might against Luo Chen’s!

Amid the mirth, Luo Chen creased his brow subtly.

"Why is it taking so long to respond?"

His profound link with the Xuan Turtle ensured Secret Technique summons yielded prompt replies—immediate or within days.

Yet, from dispatching the preemptive signal until now, three full days elapsed in utter silence.
