Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2831 - 1047: Zhenhai Liubo, Sea Patrol Yaksha

Sea Suppression City!

Situated at the edge of the East Sea, this formidable city stands as a bulwark against the relentless incursions of Demon Beasts from the coast.

Its construction eschews the typical flowing mountain landscapes, opting instead for the unyielding Ten Thousand Jun Black Heavy Rock, fused with the molten fury of a perpetually erupting volcano on the Tian Nan Continent.

The city walls, resembling the gargantuan spine of an ancient dragon, stretch for hundreds of miles, an unbroken expanse that forcefully carves a defiant territory from the untamed sea!

To gaze upward at these towering ramparts is to crane one's neck to the breaking point. Atop them, the menacing muzzles of Tianyuan Spirit Cannons are arrayed, their dark openings promising utter devastation.

Nine colossal gates, known as the Sea Suppression Gates, punctuate the defenses below. Each gate, thicker than many zhang, is adorned with brutal spikes and shimmering, hazardous Array Light. These layered defenses not only shield Sea Suppression City from all angles but also thwart the advance of lesser sea demons attempting to surge inland from the sea's maw.

Zhou Fuqiu, his senses still dulled from a night of revelry, ambled through the imposing gates of Sea Suppression City. He watched as the colossal Sea Suppression Gates groaned open and shut, his heart resonating with profound awe.

His Second Junior Brother, Fu Bin, walking beside him, observed this and inquired with a smile, "Little Junior Brother, you seem quite taken aback?"

Having grown accustomed to the grand, elegant, and ancient architectural styles of the mainland's great cities, Zhou Fuqiu found himself genuinely astonished by Sea Suppression City, a structure that seemed to embody a colossal, war-hardened beast.

He exclaimed, "It's truly a city of heroes! So utterly different from the refined elegance of my Tianyuan Daoist Sect!"

"You perceive it incorrectly, Little Junior Brother," Fu Bin chuckled heartily, his voice filled with emotion. "Three millennia ago, our Tianyuan Daoist Sect was the sole Divine Transformation Holy Land across the five continents, tasked with purging the Demon Beasts. Three millennia hence, our Tianyuan Daoist Sect harbors ambitions to subdue the four continents and achieve dominion over the Mountain Sea. In this world, who can rival the martial might and iron will of our Tianyuan Daoist Sect?"

Each utterance of "my Tianyuan Daoist Sect" was imbued with an palpable sense of pride and solemn reverence.

This sentiment was not lost on Zhou Fuqiu; even the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators standing nearby were similarly moved.

"Glory to Tianyuan!"

They too were disciples of the sect!

As another gate swung open, Zhou Fuqiu ascended and flew out at a low altitude, following the course of a nearby river.

He posed a question, his curiosity piqued, "Master Wen departed in haste this morning, and Second Junior Brother, you've urgently brought us to the battlefield. Has something occurred?"

Fu Bin's smile vanished, replaced by a grave solemnity.

"Indeed, something significant has transpired. It's reported that a major engagement unfolded at sea last night, an immensely powerful conflict, undeniably involving cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage."

At this revelation, Zhou Fuqiu and the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators visibly paled.

"Could a Fourth Order Demon Emperor have entered the fray?"

atop the peaks of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, the maritime threat posed by sea beasts near Zhongzhou was virtually nonexistent, with no signs of any impending demon calamity.

However, following the devastating cataclysm that befell Zhongzhou, as the continent fragmented, dormant Demon Beasts began to re-emerge sporadically.

For the past few decades, the incursions had primarily consisted of low-level Demon Beasts of the First and Second Orders.

Yet, in recent years, numerous Third-Order Demon Kings had begun to surface.

And now, even a Fourth Order Demon Emperor has joined the conflict!

How could the populace remain unperturbed?

Fu Bin declared in a deep tone, "It is highly probable. Otherwise, Master Wen would not have departed with such urgency. He is stationed at Sea Suppression City, and though several other strongholds dot the coastline, this city is undeniably the most vital. Its integrity cannot be compromised. Therefore, he must personally ascertain the full extent of the situation."

"And what of us?"

"Fear not, the Demon Emperor-level combatants will be handled by Nascent Soul True Masters. Our objective is to secure other zones apart from the main sea entrance and safeguard various arrays from any potential damage."

Fu Bin provided a concise explanation, bringing a measure of relief to everyone present.

With a deep rumble, another Sea Suppression Gate began to open, allowing elite cultivators from the Four Imperial Palaces of the Tian Nan Dao Palace to swiftly pass through.

Fu Bin's gaze swept over the departing group before he addressed Zhou Fuqiu again, "Little Junior Brother, your assignment is set. Upon exiting the city, you will command your team in patrolling the eight hundred li surrounding Liubo Mountain."

Having prior knowledge of the coastal map, Zhou Fuqiu had a general idea of Liubo Mountain's location.

Once his assignment was clear, he promptly inquired about the specifics of his task.

"We are expected to manage with just twenty people?"

This expedition saw the Four Imperial Palaces deploy a combined force of four hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and twenty Golden Core Ascendant Masters. Each Ascendant Master was tasked with leading a team, forming twenty major squads. These major squads were further segmented into five smaller squads, each comprising four individuals.

In total, this constituted one hundred squads.

Fu Bin offered a shake of his head, explaining, "Liubo Mountain is expansive; it's not feasible for just your twenty to cover it. Typically, Family Cultivators are stationed there and form the primary defense. Your role is that of a mobile reserve, ready to offer support wherever an urgent need arises."

Zhou Fuqiu understood.

This strategic arrangement was far more adaptable and fostered independent operational skills among the Daoist Palace's disciples, proving superior to rigid, task-oriented training.

"Very well, the ninth gate is about to open, marking our complete departure from Sea Suppression City. As you venture forth to slay demons and earn merits, remember to prioritize your own safety as well."

After bestowing this guidance, Fu Bin increased his speed, heading towards the vanguard.

With the opening of the ninth gate, resembling a colossal mountain, the Daoist Palace's disciples shot out in all directions, like streaking meteors.

Zhou Fuqiu cast a backward glance at the ninth gate. Unlike the ancient and sturdy gates encountered previously, this one was coated in viscous slime and debris, exuding a potent, bloody aroma. It was evident that this gruesome display was the result of countless low-level Demon Beasts that had assailed Sea Suppression City.

His gaze then turned, settling upon the hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators who were his companions.
