Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2775 - 1027: Crossing the Heavens (Part 2)

"Senior Brother, what about me?" Fu Qinglan inquired proactively.

Zhan Bingtao's stern expression softened slightly, his kind reply following, "Junior Sister, you shall return to the Daoist Palace with me! You have already comprehended the True Intent of Law and are a future God Transformation Seed. The Daoist Palace possesses a Fifth Order Spirit Vein capable of effectively aiding your cultivation, so why would you be delayed by these trivial matters?"

Both Long Ting and Hui Yuanhong immediately cast looks filled with envy and jealousy.

The former felt envy; the latter felt jealous.

Fu Qinglan, seemingly oblivious to the attention, nodded gently.

Before departing the site of the Burial God Valley, her gaze instinctively swept back over the landscape. Concealed within her sleeves, she clutched a broken array flag.

The array flag was damaged, yet its crafting technique was incredibly exquisite.

Certain crafting methods on it, in particular, evoked a sense of familiarity.

Years ago, within the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, someone had employed similar array flags to establish a protective formation for her.

"Was it you who came here?"

Fu Qinglan murmured to herself, a hint of confused uncertainty flickering in her eyes.

...

"Congratulations, Master, on subduing a Fifth-tier Ghost God!"

Inside the shuttle, Little White gazed at Luo Chen with eyes brimming with admiration.

Luo Chen, however, shook his head. "This is merely capturing; taming it will demand considerable effort."

Little White tilted his head in curiosity. "Master captured it so easily, wouldn't taming it be an even simpler task?"

"Easily?"

A slight curve graced Luo Chen’s lips, though he offered no further clarification.

To external observers, it might have appeared that he captured the Kui Ox Ghost God effortlessly, but the strategies employed were far from few.

Upon realizing the ghost god’s intent to break free, his schemes commenced.

Each time he vanquished high-level ghost creatures that contained traces of the Kui Ox's divine soul, he secretly embedded restrictions within them.

Even the top-grade soul stones used as bait bore his divine soul imprints.

After shattering the seal, he utilized Bai Meiling as a diversion on the surface, while secretly, Luo Chen condensed his primordial spirit above the Nine Heavens, expending substantial Qi power to push the Primordial Chaos Tripod to its absolute limit.

Finally, he invoked the Dust Fate Immortal Realm and his Red Eyes Golden Pupils to enact Mirror Flower, Water Moon.

With the complicity of those pre-planted restrictions and divine soul imprints, their combined actions thoroughly bewildered the newly unsealed Kui Ox’s mind.

The Primordial Chaos Tripod itself possesses extraordinary capabilities in seizing a cultivator's Golden Core and Nascent Soul.

Through such coordinated efforts, success was finally achieved in a single, decisive move!

Indeed, for all his painstaking efforts, Luo Chen's gains were immensely significant.

With a Fifth-tier Ghost God in hand, once refined into the Soul-Refining Flag, the Million Evil Soul Banner would be rightfully earned.

Such a soul-path treasure possesses the power to rival spiritual treasures as formidable weapons.

If wielded effectively, it could undoubtedly create immense trouble for Divine Transformation Great Powers.

Unaware of Luo Chen's internal thoughts, Little White guided the Frost Eagle Shuttle with spirit stones, proceeding somewhat aimlessly.

"Master, where shall we venture now?"

Luo Chen gazed out the window.

He had previously employed the Fire Escape Technique, transporting Bai Meiling far from the Tian Nan Continent, and the Frost Eagle Shuttle's traversal speed was exceptionally swift. Unbeknownst to them, they had neared the former Zhongzhou heartland, traveling from south to north.

"Further ahead lies... Heaven and Earth Peak."

Luo Chen pursed his lips, a trace of reminiscence coloring his eyes.

"You have diligently operated the shuttle until now; I shall take over from here!"

Luo Chen assumed control of the shuttle, steering the flying vessel toward the former Zhongzhou heartland.

He harbored no particular apprehension regarding potential encounters.

It was widely known that after the Star Gate was seized by the Qi Xia Emperor, and Heaven and Earth Peak was sundered, the area had become utterly inaccessible to living beings.

Even the sole surviving ancestor of God Transformation from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect confined his cultivation to the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range on the East Yuan Continent.

His current visit was merely a return to a familiar locale, unlikely to precipitate any disturbances.

However, three days later, the Frost Eagle Shuttle halted several miles shy of the remnants of that fractured continent.

As far as the eye could comprehend, no towering peaks pierced the heavens; only a seemingly level mountainside and a fragment of a celestial pillar were visible.

The once-rushing Zhe River, no longer flowing towards the East Sea, lay enshrouded in countless desolate, thick mists.

What truly brought Luo Chen to a standstill were those dense mists.

White as the clouds, they resembled illusions and dreams.

This mist was exceedingly familiar to Luo Chen.

This was not a creation of Heaven and Earth Peak, but rather clouds that had once resided within the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

"That was a Cave Heaven formed from the demise of a top-tier Great Desolate from the Mountain Sea Realm; who would dare to pry it open?"

"Could it be Ancestor Liancheng?"

Luo Chen lingered for a moment before eventually opting for a silent departure.

The time for confronting that individual had not yet arrived.

And not long after his exit, a figure materialized from the enveloping mist.

Clad in a cloak of yellow and black, a tall crown adorned his head. Though his face bore youthful features, his bearing radiated the assertive grandeur of someone of superior status.

"By employing the Sect Secret Technique, we have finally breached the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven and introduced the Lan Ke Chessboard. Its presence within, coupled with the temporal distortions of the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, will expedite the artifact spirit's recovery."

"Next..."

The dignified young man lifted his gaze towards the fractured celestial pillar.

"We shall utilize the power of Earth Origin to reconstruct Heaven and Earth Peak!"

...

"Master, you stand at Heaven and Earth Peak yet abstain from entering. Where shall we journey next?"

"Why do you persist in posing that same inquiry?"

"Because Little White has not experienced much of the world. Unlike Master, who has traversed the Five Continents and Four Seas, leaving your mark across the globe. Naturally, I must seek your guidance on our destination."

"Haha, very well, let us proceed to an utterly secure haven!"

Little White found herself filled with intense curiosity; where could such a place of absolute safety be?

A smile played on Luo Chen's lips, unspoken.

The Frost Eagle Shuttle executed a sharp turn, charting a course westward.

After an extended period, the shuttle ceased its motion above a maritime expanse characterized by treacherous reefs and turbulent waters.

Were any Daoist Sect cultivators present, they would undoubtedly recognize this locale instantly.

It was none other than the Western Continent, which had fractured from Zhongzhou in ages past!

However, following the Netherworld Sea's devastating sweep through this region, no expansive landmass remained, only scattered remnants of reefs and the ceaseless, murky expanse of the sea.

The shuttle hovered briefly before vanishing, replaced by two distinct silhouettes.

The pair wasted no time, ascending directly into the heavens and disappearing beyond the Nine Heavens.

Traversing ninety thousand miles of layered celestial strata, shattering the formidable Gang Wind!

Ascending all the way, propelled by Qi Power, in mere flashes, the stars began to glisten, emitting a soft luminescence, as if appearing intimately close.

Little White gazed into the vast, dark cosmic void, a profound sense of insignificance washing over her.

Instinctively, she clutched Luo Chen's sleeve more tightly.

"Master, what is this place?"

"The Azure Darkness!"

Luo Chen chuckled softly, gestured with his hand, and the Primordial Chaos Tripod materialized before them.

The instant the tripod appeared, a muffled, resonant sound emanated from within, akin to a caged beast ferociously struggling to break free.

Luo Chen paid it little heed, simply opening his mouth to exhale.

Whoosh!

A tendril of golden flame flickered forth, completely engulfing the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

An immediate, anguished cry echoed from the depths of the tripod.

Utilizing the Nirvana Sacred Fire to refine a Fifth-tier Ghost God was a perfect match.

"Little White, please keep watch over the Primordial Chaos Tripod. Alert me should the flame's intensity diminish. Take these soul stones and refine them to bolster your Divine Soul Endowment."

Little White's eyes lit up, and she swiftly accepted the handful of crystalline grains Luo Chen extended.

While these were not on par with the previous top-grade soul stone, these minuscule, gravel-like soul stones were far easier to refine and better suited for her current needs.

"Little White will diligently guard the Primordial Chaos Tripod!"

Luo Chen smiled, then inhaled deeply and assumed a cross-legged position.

After a period of focused contemplation within the void, he produced the Blood Sword Yuan Tu, which had been nurtured within the acupoint of his left arm.

This time, any trace of hesitation seemed to have vanished. He directly expelled a mouthful of fresh blood, smearing it onto the Yuan Tu Sword.

Instantly, the sword resonated with a chime, as if in acknowledgment!

"If you aspire to become a Spiritual Treasure, then you must surrender yourself completely to me!"

Muttering these words, Luo Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, causing the Yuan Tu Sword to diminish in size before being directly swallowed into his mouth, proceeding into the Purple Mansion.

The Purple Mansion served as the optimal domain for cultivators to nurture Magical Treasures and True Artifacts!

It lay in closest proximity to the Nascent Soul, possessing the purest Qi Power, which continuously fostered their growth.

In prior years, Luo Chen had harbored concerns that the Yuan Tu Sword might inflict harm upon his Nascent Soul, thus abstaining from direct nurturing and opting instead for a resting place within his arm.

However, this time, his resolve remained unshaken.

As the sword entered the Purple Mansion, a potent aura of blood erupted.

Before the Sword Spirit could wreak havoc, the diminutive figure of his Nascent Soul boldly extended a hand and seized it.

With his free hand, he summoned a wisp of azure flame, carefully wrapping the Yuan Tu Sword.

"Behave yourself!"

The small Nascent Soul figure spoke with authority, and the Yuan Tu Sword immediately ceased its struggles.

Witnessing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His current cultivation level was indeed sufficient to subdue this sword.

This development allowed him to focus entirely on refining the Nine Heavens Qi.

"There are still many strands left out of the two hundred, which is more than enough to continue advancing in the Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture."

"However, it is still insufficient!"

"This Azure Darkness is truly an inexhaustible treasure trove of Nine Heavens Qi."
