Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2830 - 1046:

Without a word, he approached the Second Senior Brother and the four individuals accompanying him.

"Second Senior Brother, have we reached our destination?"

The Second Senior Brother offered a gentle smile. "We are still some distance away, but the City Lord of Sea Suppression City has extended an invitation for a welcoming party. Therefore, we should make preparations to ensure we don't show any discourtesy."

"The City Lord of Sea Suppression City?" Zhou Fuqiu expressed his surprise.

The Seventh Senior Brother, standing nearby, chimed in, "It is Master Wen. His clan has been settled by the East Sea for generations and fortunately survived the great calamity in Zhongzhou. As such, the Daoist Sect has entrusted them with the responsibility of maritime defense."

Zhou Fuqiu was quite astonished; a Nascent Soul True Master was personally descending to welcome them?

Straightening his posture, the Second Senior Brother calmly elucidated, "Junior Brother, do not underestimate the esteemed position of us disciples of the Daoist Palace!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fuqiu's understanding dawned.

Typically, within the confines of the Daoist Palace, individuals contend amongst their peers of comparable age. Barring a few exceptional cases like himself, most do not keenly feel their elevated status.

However, in reality, the youths who manage to enter the Tian Nan Dao Palace are all extraordinarily talented prodigies from across the land, destined to become the future pillars of their respective clans.

Should they flourish in their cultivation, they might even ascend to become influential figures within the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!

Consider this instance: the Four Imperial Palaces have dispatched over four hundred cultivators, a clear testament to the caliber of genius present.

None of the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Generation have surpassed the age of one hundred.

The Golden Core Cultivators are predominantly young and robust, possessing the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.

The fact that Master Wen is making an early descent to greet them signifies profound respect and, perhaps, an earnest desire to forge a favorable connection.

With this realization, Zhou Fuqiu's demeanor became remarkably composed.

They were, undeniably, the visiting dignitaries!

Before long, a magnificent and opulent Flying Boat appeared in the distance, approaching them.

Glinting artifacts were dispatched from the vessel, conveying an abundance of fine liquor and delicacies to appease the disciples of the Daoist Palace.

Furthermore, twenty Golden Core cultivators from the Four Imperial Palaces boarded the Flying Boat to partake in the banquet hosted by Master Wen, the City Lord of Sea Suppression City.

...

Thousands of miles from their current location, a faint wisp of green smoke ascended through the layers of clouds.

Observing the fleet of Flying Boats in the distance, the emerald smoke ceased its advance.

"That brat spent twenty years within the Tian Nan Dao Palace, and upon his return, he has already achieved the Golden Core Realm!"

"Tsk tsk, such swift cultivation progress is something even his master could only dream of in his youth!"

"With the presence of a Nascent Soul True Master, while I am not overtly afraid of detection, it is prudent to maintain a respectable distance."

The green smoke transmuted into a mass of dark clouds, seamlessly blending into the prevailing cloud cover as it drifted slowly onward.

Eschewing the stationary Flying Boat fleet, by the stroke of midnight, it hovered over the expansive ocean.

Suddenly!

"Such potent Demon Qi!"

The dark clouds dissipated, allowing moonlight to reveal a graceful silhouette.

It was Little White, tasked with the clandestine observation of Zhou Fuqiu!

At this moment, she knitted her brows and extended her Divine Consciousness, scrutinizing the condition of the East Sea.

The overwhelming Demon Qi was so intense that it nearly evoked memories of the fierce battleground during the Eastern Wilderness Human-Demon War.

The sheer power of the Divine Souls present was particularly striking, leading her to detect several formidable vitalities.

"One, two, three... there are actually three Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators!"

"Such a grand assembly, could it be... no, this particular vitality?"

Little White's expression shifted subtly. She concentrated her Divine Consciousness and directed it towards a specific marine region.

Within that area, numerous Sea Demons had congregated, avian creatures circled overhead, and Demon Qi was densely concentrated.

At the heart of this assembly of Demon Beasts, a magnificent underwater palace stood in silent grandeur.

Little White's Divine Consciousness, akin to a piercing javelin, penetrated directly into the palace.

Inside, a Transformed Monster Cultivator was engrossed in observing the captivating dance performances of the Clam Mermaids below.

At a subordinate seat nearby, a thick, dark serpent was observed with its head buried deep within a colossal wine vessel.

"Brother Hei, how do you find my Thousand Blossom Ice Wine?"

The black serpent, upon hearing the question, abruptly lifted its head, spilling numerous droplets of alcohol.

Upon closer examination, it was evident that the creature was no mere snake; the prominent horns and bull-like eyes revealed it to be, unmistakably, a Black Dragon!

At this precise moment, the Transformed Monster Cultivator seemed to sense an intrusion, his countenance contorting with rage as he raised his hand to unleash an attack from outside the palace.

"Audacious intruders, how dare you spy upon this Emperor!"
