Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2854 - 1055:

An offensive, sanguinary stench permeated the entirety of the Ye Mo Sky.

"What kind of lake is this?" Little White exclaimed in horror.

Beside this morbid lake, the Three Demons of Kong Chan observed with grave expressions.

During the fierce battles of yesteryear, a rain of blood had fallen upon the Ye Mo Sky, its crimson deluge soaking countless Demon Beasts and Human Cultivators.

Three centuries have since elapsed, yet this blood had not only failed to dissipate but had coalesced into a vast, abyssal lake.

Adding to the grim tableau, another distinct force had infiltrated its depths.

Liu Jun inhaled deeply, his voice resonating with solemnity, "This obsidian lake water is a consequence of the power from the Oblivion Sea pouring in and corrupting everything it touches!"

Kong Chan turned to Tai Sui, inquiring, "Friend, did you not mention earlier a method to guide this power back to the Oblivion Sea?"

However, Tai Sui responded with a shake of his head, appearing utterly perplexed.

"This power has already become one with the Ye Mo Sky; it cannot possibly be extracted."

Kong Chan and Liu Jun exchanged astonished glances.

"How could this be?"

Tai Sui offered a wry smile, confessing, "I remain ignorant myself. The power of the Oblivion Sea is exceptionally peculiar, having been refined by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch using an unfathomable array. Theoretically, it should be beyond anyone's capability to wield this particular energy."

The three exchanged looks, their minds momentarily lost in bewilderment.

If the power of the Oblivion Sea could not be reclaimed, what was the purpose of their arduous journey to this place?

Suddenly!

"Look, what is that?"

The Demon Monk Kong Chan gestured towards the ominous Blood Lake.

All eyes followed his direction, and a collective gasp of shock escaped their lips.

Within the Blood Lake, a minuscule figure could be seen rising and falling amidst the murky waters.

It was a person!

Surrounding this individual, a small vortex appeared to be forming, actively drawing in both the scarlet and black energies.

The putrid blood and the corrosive essence of the Oblivion Sea were merging within this person, creating a unique and potent force emanating from their very being.

"It's demonic qi! Pure demonic qi!" Tai Sui exclaimed, his eyes alight with avarice. "That individual is utilizing this Blood Lake to cultivate a Demon Clan's Cultivation Method!"

Kong Chan tilted his head, puzzled, "A Demon Path Technique?"

Tai Sui waved a dismissive hand, elaborating, "Not a Demon Path Technique, but a true Demon Clan's Cultivation Method! The Demon Race is an encompassing term for myriad beings dwelling within the Demon Realm, and their inherent strength lies in demonic qi. This power is ruthlessly dominant, brooking no interference, and is in no way inferior to the Mana wielded by Human Cultivators. The Demon Path Techniques you are familiar with are merely imitations, devised by cunning individuals of the Human Clan who sought to mimic the Demon Race. Those truly gifted, such as those possessing the Yuan Mo Vein within the Yuan Mo Sect, can cultivate genuine demonic qi."

Having concluded his explanation, Tai Sui exhaled a long, weary breath.

"I wonder how this person stumbled upon such an opportunity, aiming to transmute a human body into a Demon Body? Just who could he be?"

This final question was soon to be answered.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun, who had remained relatively silent until this point, after meticulously scrutinizing the figure within the Blood Lake, softly pronounced three significant words.

"Feng Independent Cultivator!"

Tai Sui inquired with mild confusion, "Who is he?"

"He is the madman we were discussing earlier, once considered the preeminent among the Three Great Independent Cultivators of the North Sea. Even at his zenith, the Yuan Mo Sect found him a formidable adversary."

This revelation brought Tai Sui a sudden wave of understanding.

Having spent time within the North Sea Cultivation World himself, he was well aware of the renowned Three Great Independent Cultivators.

Feng Independent Cultivator, originally known as Fengling Hermit, was a scion of the Fengling Observatory situated in the North Sea.

The Fengling Observatory was later annihilated by the Yuan Mo Sect, leading the Fengling Hermit to embrace the identity of Feng Independent Cultivator. After a solitary expedition into the Oblivion Sea, he returned in a state of madness; hence, Feng Independent Cultivator also became known as the mad Feng Independent Cultivator.

During rare moments of lucidity, he had formed the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering alongside Moon Independent Cultivator and Blood Independent Cultivator.

However, the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering eventually fell under the sway of Moon Independent Cultivator, and Feng Independent Cultivator vanished entirely. To find him here now was utterly unexpected.

Recalling Feng Independent Cultivator's ill-fated venture into the Oblivion Sea, Tai Sui immediately drew a connection to his potential acquisition of a Demon Clan's Cultivation Method within the Land of Fallen Demons. He even surmised that his current insanity might stem from the forceful attempt to cultivate the Demon Clan's Cultivation Method within a human vessel.

"Reconstructing a physical form using the flesh and blood of countless fallen beings, channeling demonic qi with the residual power of the Oblivion Sea left by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, all in a bid to cultivate a Demon Body. This Feng Independent Cultivator is truly beyond redemption!"

Tai Sui murmured his awe, then, struck by a sudden, outlandish thought, added:

"Actually, reclaiming the power of the Oblivion Sea is not entirely impossible after all!"

The other two turned their gazes over, curiosity sparking in their eyes.

Tai Sui gestured towards Feng Independent Cultivator's location. "Once he has fully absorbed the power within the Blood Lake, we simply need to escort him back to Oblivion Sea. Isn't that the plan?"

His words brought immediate clarity to the other two.

If the might of Oblivion Sea were to fully integrate with Ye Mo Sky, they would indeed be powerless.

However, should this immense power fall into the grasp of Feng Independent Cultivator, the situation would be considerably more manageable.

As for the possibility of success?

The Demon Monk Kongchan had indicated that it was a viable course of action.

"Feng Independent Cultivator has been mentally unsound for many years, lost in his madness. Our Chanting Monk clan excels in the Enchanting Soul technique. When we assailed the Yuan Mo Sect previously, even the Great Cultivator of the Soul Refining Lineage, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, posed no threat to us. How could a mere madman like Feng Independent Cultivator possibly resist?"

"Then, we shall wait!"

"Wait until he completes the absorption!"

The trio resolved their course of action and commenced making the necessary preparations around the lake's perimeter.

While Demon Monk Kongchan made it sound straightforward, any unforeseen complications could prove quite troublesome.

Furthermore, the process of setting up the formation would also serve to identify the individual who had previously infiltrated their midst.

"Hold my Morning Bell and Dusk Drum; position them on either side of the Blood Lake!"

"As soon as he finishes absorbing the power of Oblivion Sea, I will activate these two True Devices. Their resonance will amplify the Buddha's Chanting, thereby cleansing his Divine Soul!"

The Demon Monk Kongchan issued his instructions.
