Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2703 - 997: Master Taiyue Breaks Into Mingyuan (Part 3)

Has something gone wrong, by any chance?

Deng Taiyue noticed Luo Chen expecting a reply and couldn't resist offering some reassurance: "I’ve heard that the Nether Abyss teems with endless ghostly beings. Maybe your sect’s disciples are simply held up!"

Luo Chen shook his head. "In the past, I might have accepted that, but things shouldn’t be like this now!"

Deng Taiyue remained puzzled.

Luo Chen held firm confidence in his assessment.

The basis stemmed from Qi Xia Yuanjun’s assault on Zhongzhou years back, where alongside the Four Great Wild Beasts, she commanded the Nine Great Ghost Emperors.

A Ghost Emperor represents a Fifth Order Ghost.

Standing far superior to Ghost Kings and Ghost Emperors.

Such a horde of Fifth Order ghosts couldn’t have materialized from thin air.

Hence, only one origin existed for those Nine Great Ghost Emperors.

Precisely the Nether Abyss!

Prior to Ancestor Tianyuan’s demise, he shattered the seal, unleashing myriad ghosts long suppressed beneath the Nether Abyss, aiming to trap and slay Qi Xia Yuanjun.

Yet Qi Xia Yuanjun, at tremendous expense, evaded mutual destruction.

Moreover, in subsequent years, she came back, employing the Spirit Treasure Beast Map from Moon Independent Cultivator to gather formidable ghosts from the Nether Abyss.

With these, she launched a fierce assault on the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Consequently, though the Nether Abyss still appears daunting today, its threats have plummeted to the bare minimum.

With Xuan Turtle navigating the depths and Little White’s Ghost King form leading the way, reaching Luo Chen ought to have been straightforward.

Enduring such prolonged silence leaves just one possibility.

Trouble has struck at Luo Tian Sect!

Luo Chen drew in a deep breath before soaring skyward.

Deng Taiyue cried out in alarm, "Brother Luo, what’s this about?"

"I’m traversing the Nether Abyss to head back to Luo Tian Sect," Luo Chen declared while peering downward.

Deng Taiyue paled in shock. "How can you act so rashly? The Nether Abyss brims with Nirvana Sacred Fire, and over the ruins of Mingyuan lurk unpredictable spatial rifts. We’re only Nascent Souls—how could we possibly cross?"

He skipped even suggesting a stealthy passage through the abyss, deeming it utterly unfeasible.

The pervasive Ming Shui would seep into a cultivator’s mana, slowly tainting it, and the slightest reflux into the body might erode the Purple Mansion and damage the Nascent Soul directly.

Confronted by this counsel, Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, staring into the vast Nether Abyss.

"My mind is set, Brother Deng. You three stay put here. Once I handle the sect’s issues, I’ll dispatch someone to fetch you."

With that, he cast a look toward Hao Ranzi and Yu Jiaolong.

Neither raised any protest; be it due to his role as Crossing Truth Palace Master or as their nominal senior brother, they readily deferred.

Deng Taiyue pondered briefly, clenched his jaw, and bounded after him.

Luo Chen arched a brow. "Brother Deng, what’s the meaning of this?"

Decision made, Deng Taiyue felt unburdened and chuckled: "The Ti Hu Pill I’ve longed for lies so close. Should misfortune befall you, where else to find another Alchemy Sect Master? I’ll naturally stick by you and offer aid."

Witnessing his resolve, Luo Chen paused briefly before giving a nod.

"Very well, come along then!"

Uttering this, he morphed into a Glint, plunging into the Mingyuan.

Deng Taiyue trailed right after, shielded by a dense veil of Xuan and Yellow Light.

"Brother Luo Chen, take care!"

From the rear, Hao Ranzi shouted urgently, after which he and the stationary Yu Jiaolong shared a look.

"What do we do now?"

"Idling here accomplishes nothing," Yu Jiaolong’s gaze gleamed slyly as a scheme dawned on him. "How about we explore Upper Nether Immortal City?"
