Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2708 - 999: Part 2

He was the one who rescued Bai Meiling before.

"Thank you."

While voicing his thanks, Luo Chen gazed toward the woman drifting closer.

"Little White, are you all right?"

"Master!" Bai Meiling's big lively eyes blinked in utter shock, those two simple words bursting with endless emotion.

Thud!

A heavy thud echoed from below.

The Xuan Turtle, flipped over moments ago, at last righted itself.

Wang Yuan lingered underneath, staring up at Luo Chen.

"You’re back."

Luo Chen gave a nod, affirming, "Yes, I am back!"

Abruptly, his gaze lifted to Yanfu Mountain's summit, a fierce spark igniting in his eyes.

The onlookers stood puzzled.

Yet moments later, a deep rumble echoed from above, paired with the Fire Phoenix's anguished screech as it vanished.

An expert had struck, shattering Luo Chen’s Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plain technique!

"There is a master on the mountain!" A fierce spark lit Luo Chen’s eyes, though a grin tugged at his lips despite himself.

Bai Meiling’s delight from reuniting with Luo Chen evaporated in an instant, her voice urgent as she warned, "Master, we must halt them at once. The Ming Water Spring Eye is on the verge of forming, and should these Ghost Emperors claim it, our Luo Tian Sect will lose all standing in the Nether Abyss!"

"Oh?" Luo Chen arched a brow, "Give me the full story!"

Bai Meiling nodded eagerly, then laid out the entire situation.

…

Deep within the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Luo Tian Sect's senior leaders assembled, their faces clouded with deep concern.

From the head seat, Li Yingzhang spoke gravely, "It’s been half a year!"

He swept his gaze across the group, his voice laden with gravity but firm resolve.

"Elder Bai and Elder Wang have vanished for half a year without a single update. We need to form a rescue squad right away!"

Several veteran figures occupied the lower seats.

Ling Fengzi sat to the left, Cang Long to the right—the pair serving as Luo Tian Sect's remaining Nascent Soul Elders.

Following them came Gu Caiyi in her elegant palace gown and Tian Xuan. One was the Dao Companion Cultivator of Supreme Elder Luo Chen, the other his past Spiritual Pet, both embodying aspects of the Supreme Elder’s authority.

The Supreme Elder’s other Dao Companion Cultivator, Sima Huiniang, failed to attend this gathering.

Whispers held that prior to the Supreme Elder’s departure, she received orders for a decade-long confinement.

Though her confinement neared its end, she had scarcely appeared in public.

At the bottom sat Luo Tian Sect's pair of fresh "juniors".

Luo Chen’s disciple Qu Lingjun and Wang Yuan’s disciple Sha Dragon Child Zeng Yilong.

One had weathered trials to ascend to Golden Core Period, managing every elixir affair in Luo Tian Sect.

The other excelled in body refinement, handling the sect’s disciplinary patrols.

Seven in total!

Without Luo Chen present, and absent Wang and Bai, these seven formed the heart of Luo Tian Sect’s leadership.

Confronting Sect Leader Li Yingzhang’s suggestion, Ling Fengzi caressed his beard and voiced first, "Their destination, Yanfu Mountain, teems with powerful Ghost Cultivators. Though Luo Tian Sect has bolstered its might through years of recovery, we remain no match for them. Sect Leader Li, this plan feels too hasty. In my view, we ought to await Brother Luo Chen’s return before deciding!"

Li Yingzhang shot back coldly, "This isn’t a suggestion—it’s an order!"

Ling Fengzi’s brow furrowed, "But should the rescue team encounter disaster, what fate awaits Luo Tian Sect?"

Li Yingzhang countered sharply, "And if a mighty Ghost Emperor claims the Ming Water Spring Eye, what becomes of our Luo Tian Sect?"

This retort left Ling Fengzi speechless at once.

In recent years, chatter about the Ming Water Spring Eye had surged among the Nether Abyss's myriad ghost beings.

Legends claimed that eons ago, the Mountain Sea Realm lacked the Nether Abyss.

This immense chasm, trapping endless ghost creatures, arose just ten thousand years back.

It birthed from a single spring eye!

Dark Abyss Sect chose this spot for its stronghold partly for the Nether Abyss's natural barriers, and chiefly for that spring eye.

A Ghost Emperor once proclaimed the Ming Water Spring Eye contained the Power of Creation!

Dark Abyss Sect’s unbroken Divine Transformations across three millennia, plus disciples seizing Law’s True Intent ahead of time, all tied back to the Ming Water Spring Eye.

Without Qi Xia Emperor’s abrupt assault on Dark Abyss Sect, scattering the Ming Water Spring Eye forcibly and freeing Qinghe Immortal, the Nether Abyss would never have withered so severely.

Thankfully, the Qi Xia Emperor hadn’t unleashed his full power on this spring eye in the past, allowing it to gradually reform after merely a few decades of collapse, sustained by the lingering essence of the three primary Yanfu Heavenly Palace Prohibitions atop Yanfu Mountain.

At present, the Ming Water Spring Eye lingered in its most fragile state, ripe for subjugation.

Subduing it would confer absolute command over Ming Shui.

Provided the conqueror possessed enough personal might, the immense Nether Abyss could entirely submit to their rule.

Then, the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, tucked away inside the Nether Abyss, would lose its secrecy and get exposed right away.

The top brass of Luo Tian Sect had obviously caught wind of this vital news, fueling their desperate haste.

Staring down a crisis tied to the sect’s very existence, the normally kind Sect Leader Li Yingzhang delivered a bold verdict.

Even the respected Nascent Soul Elder Ling Fengzi couldn’t muster opposition just then.

A soft, comforting voice emerged, like a pure spring washing away the group’s unease.

"Sect Leader Li is correct; supporting Elders Wang and Bai isn’t just about preserving fellow disciples; it’s also for the sake of the sect. This mission cannot be avoided, and Cang Long is willing to step forward."

Eyes from the assembly shifted to the woman with the soothing words, their minds easing greatly.

Few truly knew Cang Long Fairy well.

Yet all recognized that the Supreme Elder had rescued her, and backed by him, she’d claimed a second breakthrough, forging her Nascent Soul at last.
