Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 3142 - 1180: Mastering the Nine Layers, Seven Hundred Gods Kill_2

The Master of Wuyou Realm, clad in a moon-white brocade robe, watched this scene and took a small sip of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine from the gourd, a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"You really managed to do it!"

Luo Chen responded, "I had the overall array map of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, plus your guidance on the side, and yet it still took a full three years to barely manage the normal operation of the tower. My array attainment truly cannot compare to yours, elder!"

The Master of Wuyou Realm laughed heartily, accepting Luo Chen’s compliment without denial.

Three years ago, when he first met Luo Chen, he noticed Luo Chen’s modified storage ring.

It looked unassuming, but he knew that it required extremely strong tool casting skills and array attainment to transform a storage ring driven by a cultivator’s mana and Divine Consciousness into a personal storage space driven by a martial artist’s Qi-blood.

Given this inference, it was easy to conclude that Luo Chen might once have been an "all-round talent"!

Not only mastering Magic and Body Double Cultivation but also possessing an extraordinarily powerful Divine Soul.

Moreover, he was skilled in alchemy, tool casting, array formation, and other A Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

And perhaps this was only the tip of the iceberg limited by the Returning Ruins environment.

He was very curious about how Luo Chen managed to master so much at the mere age of six hundred.

But it was merely curiosity.

For any immortal cultivator who can achieve a profound realm always has their own fated opportunities, much like he wouldn’t explain to others how he learned the Gold Erosion Text of the Immortal Realm.

However, Luo Chen’s all-round talents inspired a sudden thought in him.

Initially planning to close the Nine-layered Immortal Tower after leaving, because of Luo Chen’s presence, he considered delegating the responsibility of controlling the tower to him instead.

This was a very stringent task.

The owner of the tower needed to meet the three conditions of having a powerful Divine Soul and deep array casting attainment.

Fang Qingxue could not do it, nor could Gu Xun, fortunately, there was Luo Chen.

"The martial artists who can cultivate here in the future should all be grateful to you, Luo Chen."

Luo Chen sighed in relief, his weary spirit involuntarily relaxing.

He looked at the thin yet mountain-heavy golden page in his hand, on which lines of seemingly corroded text flowed inexplicably.

"They should be grateful to you," Luo Chen said sincerely, with admiration in his eyes, "Such an immortal treasure, you, Master of Wuyou Realm, are leaving behind to maintain the cultivation environment of the Annihilation Nine Rings for everyone’s cultivation, rather than taking it with you. I am merely managing it on your behalf, how could I claim the credit?"

The Master of Wuyou Realm shook his head, "If it could truly be taken away, would I have left it there? You don’t think I’m one of those virtuous sages who refuse treasures, do you?"

Luo Chen was left speechless.

The Master of Wuyou Realm smiled and said frankly, "Since you’ve mastered the Golden Corrosion Array Map, you should have sensed it."

Luo Chen nodded slightly.

He had indeed sensed it.

Actually, the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, as an immortal artifact, was already nearly destroyed!

Its internal formations were severely broken, its power barely one out of ten, with only the basic function of energy diversion still working.

Even if taken away, it would be a lifeless object.

Leaving it here, supplemented by the endless chaotic energy, made it somewhat usable.

"In any case, both I and all the martial artists outside should thank you."

The Master of Wuyou Realm laughed heartily, shaking the wine gourd in his hand.

"No need, no need. Over three years, I’ve drunk up nearly all the Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine you brought with you upon ascension, so it wasn’t in vain."

"You truly are a wine lover, Master. I still have some surplus here, you can take it all!"

"Forget it, I’ve already had enough. Keep it for yourself, in case you can never leave the Returning Ruins, perhaps these wines will be your final solace for your homeland."

In the Returning Ruins, although resources were plentiful, they were bizarre and lacked a system.

Especially regarding herbs and plants, it was hard to find anything truly aged.

The spirit wine that is commonplace in the Outer World is a precious rarity here, nearly impossible to find a single cup.

The Thousand Mountains Dusk Snow Fang Wuyou brought in those years has long been consumed. The replica brewed by his descendants and clan members, trying to please him, ultimately lacked the real taste.

Even the Amber Flowing Light Mu Bugui carried with him has only a small flask remaining.

If Luo Chen ends up trapped in the Returning Ruins, facing the Great Destruction at the cycle’s rotation, a sip of Golden Wind Jade Dew might allow him a relatively peaceful death.

The Master of Wuyou Realm sighed, carrying his wine flask as he turned to leave.

Luo Chen remained inside the array core, not leaving alongside, but bowed deeply, sending him off from afar.

Both are fellow fallen souls!

Ultimately, whether they find a way out remains to be seen and depends on each’s own destiny.

...

When Luo Chen restarted the array core, the Nine-layered Immortal Tower opened once again.

Radiance, like floating ribbons, descended from the tower top.

Chaotic energy, like a storm, swept across all directions before gradually calming.

Amidst the storm, the Master of Wuyou Realm left gracefully, with Mu Bugui following behind.

Then, Fang Qingxue and Gu Xun entered the Nine-layered Immortal Tower again, ascending to the Third Ring.

The energy fluctuations outside gradually stabilized, and most of the elder martial artists returned, with a small portion lingering outside.

If during the time the Master of Wuyou Realm ruled the seventy-two cities of the Great Destruction Realm, this remaining group would have been punished.

But Luo Chen ignored them, not caring to manage.

Only three to five hundred years remain, let them be!

Once the new martial artists adapted to absorbing the chaotic energy into their bodies, one by one entering the Annihilation Nine Rings, Luo Chen activated the Golden Corrosion Array Map, closing the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.
