Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2814 - 1041_2

The other two Hall Masters seemed rather insufficient, their expressions filled with alarm.

Fu Qinglan let out a soft sigh. Without any apparent motion, a hint of verdant radiance gently unfurled, creating a shield around the Spirit Qi-formed coral.

"Hmph!"

At this precise moment, a frigid snort shattered the tense silence.

Zhan Bingtao advanced a single step, his imposing aura morphing into a piercing battle spear that plunged through the immense ocean, obliterating the vast expanse of coral.

The battle spear carved forward as if effortlessly cleaving through bamboo.

The coral structures swelled and receded, perpetually manifesting and dissolving, relentlessly assaulting the battle spear.

This peculiar spectacle appeared dazzling to onlookers, yet in essence, it represented the purest form of domain confrontation.

When the battle spear drew within three feet of Zhou Yunshen, a serious mien finally dawned upon his face.

With a flick of his voluminous sleeve, the battle spear dissolved into wisps of smoke.

On the opposing side, Zhan Bingtao appropriately retracted the step he had taken.

The two figures locked gazes in silence before finally sharing a faint smile.

"Worthy indeed of the Battle Family Patriarch, possessing the greatest combat prowess among the Giant Houses. It is widely rumored that Fellow Daoist once withstood a strike from the ascended Great Power, Youli Divine Monarch, emerging unscathed. Witnessing it firsthand now, it is truly commendable."

"You are exceedingly generous. It was merely an indiscriminate strike from Youli Divine Monarch, hardly a direct impact worthy of mention. However, your capabilities, your current realm... it is a regrettable pity."

Zhou Yunshen felt a sense of helplessness; he fully understood the meaning behind Zhan Bingtao's words of "pity."

Having observed Zhou Fuqiu's progression, he had finally grasped the Water Origin after prolonged accumulation, yet his lifespan ultimately foreclosed any further advancements.

"With Fellow Daoist Zhan presiding over the Tian Nan Continent, I am also considerably relieved."

Zhan Bingtao remained impassive, his attention once more settling upon Zhou Fuqiu.

"Now, I am curious if Friend Zhou believes our Tian Nan Dao Palace still holds the qualification to instruct your Zhou family's Qilin'er?"

Zhou Yunshen responded with a smile and a nod, "That is, without a doubt, sufficient."

The grand domain dissipated like smoke.

A collective sigh of relief swept through everyone present.

Zhan Bingtao made an inviting gesture, "Please!"

The grandfather and grandson of the Zhou family did not refuse and gracefully entered the Tian Nan Dao Palace, receiving greetings from the five True Masters.

Behind them followed countless observing eyes.

Within those gazes resided myriad sentiments, with the majority directed towards Zhou Fuqiu.

The Elder who had subdued the four True Masters and contended with the Observatory Master was not present for mere ostentation. His objective was transparent to all — to elevate Zhou Fuqiu!

Consequently, Zhou Fuqiu's cultivation journey within the Dao Palace was destined to proceed without impediment, allowing him to achieve all his aspirations!

...

Within the Tian Nan Dao Palace, in the heart of the Tianyuan Temple.

Six True Masters were seated together, while Zhou Fuqiu remained in his grandfather's company.

He maintained a quiet demeanor, merely listening attentively to the casual discourse of the six individuals.

This was not a tedious experience for him, as the six Nascent Soul True Masters refrained from exchanging cultivation insights; instead, their conversation revolved around matters pertinent to the Tian Nan Continent and the affairs unfolding in Li Bei and East Yuan.

Or, more accurately, their discussion pertained to Zhongzhou!

"The conflict of that era was truly devastating. The vast Zhongzhou was fractured into numerous segments, leading to its current state. Even we, powerhouses at the Nascent Soul level, were rendered helpless amidst such a battle. Among those who managed to survive, less than twenty to thirty percent remained."

"Indeed. Had I not been on the North Sea battlefield, I might not have escaped that calamity."

"It was the same for me. Stationed at the Eastern Wasteland battlefield, I was fortunate enough to survive."

"You were all fortunate. Master Lian and I were positioned in the South Border, confronting perils no less severe than the Zhongzhou catastrophe. The Youli Divine Monarch, who had remained hidden and unassuming for over a millennium, unexpectedly possessed such profound cultivation. With a single strike, he resolved the crisis at the Gate of Life and Death, leaving me grievously wounded and requiring forty years to recuperate."

"You were not present in Zhongzhou, never directly confronting the Demon Phoenix's might, but I bore witness to it. The scene depicted then is an indelible memory for me throughout my life! Accompanied by the Four Great Wild Beasts and the Nine Great Ghost Gods, they descended upon Zhongzhou, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to fissure, with cultivators perishing like falling raindrops. The former Sect Master Mo Dage, in alliance with our Star Gate's Nineteen Elders, activated the Star Gate to solicit aid from the Upper Realm. Yet, despite numerous avatars of Divine Transformation Great Powers being dispatched, none could halt the Demon Phoenix's advance. This continued until the Cut Off Heaven and Earth Great Array was breached, and Heaven and Earth Peak utterly disintegrated!"

...

Standing at the rear, Zhou Fuqiu felt a surge of emotion within his mind, finding it difficult to restrain.

In Bailu Marsh, surrounded by Zhou family members, his status, much like his ancestor's, was elevated far above others. His innate talent also granted him superiority over his peers. Particularly after effortlessly executing orders to slay Seventh Uncle, an unshakeable sense of pride naturally blossomed within him.

However, after witnessing his ancestor effortlessly obliterate Cold River Valley and Zhan Bingtao withstand the ancestor’s Nascent Soul Domain with their profound cultivation levels, he came to the stark realization that there would always be individuals more powerful, realms beyond realms.

Yet, this revelation was far from the final truth!

Beyond the Tian Nan Continent, ascended Great Powers exist, beings capable of crushing millions of troops with a mere gesture.

In the vast expanse of the North Sea, Array Dao Great Powers refine mountains and seas, traversing the lands unhindered.

Deep within the Eastern Wasteland Mountains, a peerless mighty figure known as the Qi Xia Emperor, enduring the onslaught of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, forcibly seized the Star Gate, one of the Daoist Sect’s three sacred treasures.

These extraordinary feats, once mere legends, were recounted with vivid clarity by the elders, as if they had unfolded right before one's very eyes.

All of Zhou Fuqiu’s prior arrogance had long since vanished. Nevertheless, a new surge of pride began to swell within him.

With his exceptional talent, he believed he too could reach such heights one day!

Clearly audible from above, Zhan Bingtao's words descended, imbued with the same heroic spirit.

"Although Li Canghai's mastery over array dao is formidable, he finds himself constrained by two ancient demons within the North Sea. Youli Divine Monarch, while powerful, has already ascended, and the Gate of Life and Death is now merely an empty tomb. The savage Demon Phoenix, possessing heaven-defying methods, is truly invincible in this world. However, after its participation in several great conflicts, and with the sacrifice of our Five Elders of Tianyuan in battle, it was ultimately left severely wounded, rendering it incapable of further intervention in Zhongzhou affairs."
