Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1242: Chapter 476: All of You Come at Me!_3

Furthermore, with his immensely rich battle experience, this fight was almost a sure victory.

Even if he couldn’t reach the level of Luo Chen back then, easily slaughtering Foundation Establishment cultivators as if slaughtering chickens and dogs, in a one-on-one fight he could still achieve overwhelming strength.

After all, both Wang Yuan and he had emerged from numerous life-and-death battles, and mostly when facing overwhelming odds in direct combat.

If continued cultivation meant becoming weaker among one’s peers, that would have been quite illogical.

”It seems I was too worried earlier.”

Luo Chen smiled, and the resentment he had felt towards Di Wuqi and others dissipated quite a bit.

Next, he devoted half of his attention to the Dao Debate Platform competition while chatting with Di Wuqi and the others about people and events related to the Open War.

...

”The Open War, aside from the initiators, is essentially just a business venture for other Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects.”

”By contrast, for most Golden Core Great Sects who have left their homes to participate fully in the war, this is a matter of life and death for them!”

”They need a territory larger than their old homes as a place for Golden Core Cultivators to cultivate and for their Sects to settle.”

”The Luo Tian Alliance is likewise.”

”However, among these Golden Core Great Sects, there are exceptions. Like Ailao Mountain, and Qingdan Valley which withdrew recently, they were reluctant to leave behind their old territories, merely wanting to seize the opportunity to make a profit. It’s just like Huanzhu House, they want to open up a new customer base. In Open Wars, although the main enemies are Demon Beasts, cultivators can easily become enemies over benefits. In such cases, Huanzhu House has business to do.”

The world bustles for profit, and all is for the sake of benefit.

Immortal Cultivators are never those with pure hearts and few desires.

Through the term ”Immortal Cultivation,” it is evident that these individuals inherently have goals to pursue.

Luo Chen listened quietly to this conversation, occasionally expressing his own opinions.

Cen Qiusheng, the old cultivator who worried endlessly for his Clan, suddenly lamented, ”I have also learned about several Open Wars from the classics, but this one is the most unusual.”

”Oh? How so, Friend Cen?” Luo Chen asked curiously.

Cen Qiusheng pointed at the Dao Debate Platform below where Wang Yuan was battling the last assassin from Huanzhu House.

”Take this business clash for example!”

Luo Chen was puzzled, ”But there were Open Wars before, it’s just about dividing the spoils of victory, everyone sharing the meat.”

Cen Qiusheng shook his head, ”But, those actions were always taken after the wars!”

Luo Chen paused, then reflected.

That’s right!

The Xiao Yue Mountain Range hasn’t been settled yet; it’s not Human Territory.

Under these circumstances, instead of hastening their steps, Luo Yun Sect leisurely started dividing interests with various Great Sects that hadn’t been seized yet.

This approach seemed rather arrogant.

Distributing the meat before the duck is even cooked seemed highly improper in any case.

However, Di Wuqi clearly had a different opinion.

He too made a gesture with his hand but pointed towards the tens of thousands of Immortal Cultivators on the whole Dao Debate Platform.

”Nine Great Upper Sects, Eighteen Golden Pill Major Sects, high-level powerhouses abound, and low-rank cultivators amount to millions.”

”With such a lineup, taking over the Xiao Yue Mountain Range is just a matter of reaching out our hands!”

”What’s wrong with dividing the spoils beforehand?”

He made a point.

Cen Qiusheng sighed and did not dispute further.

Perhaps, he too was harboring such hopes.

Seeing Cen Qiusheng’s reaction, Di Wuqi also refrained from speaking further and brought the topic back.

”The ones who will battle us next, Liu Sen Study and Dream Spring Cave, are similar to Huanzhu House in their objectives. They also want to develop new...”

”Oh, Dream Spring Cave is an exception.”

”According to what I know, the seven springs they relied on for survival have dried up due to overexploitation. That’s why they joined the Open War, to seek a new path.”

At this statement, Luo Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

”So according to you, Dream Spring Cave might fight to the death for a place in the Xiao Yue Mountain Range?”

”To the death is an overstatement,” Di Wuqi waved his hand, ”but a fierce battle for Wang Yuan is inevitable.”

Luo Chen’s heart sank.

His gaze turned to the Dao Debate Platform, where Wang Yuan, with a sword mark on his face, was being declared the victor over Huanzhu House’s third assassin amidst the cheers of the crowd.

One against three, complete!

The next opponent would be from Golden Core Great Sect Liu Sen Study.

In the arena.

The Golden Core Elder of the Sword Sect looked at Wang Yuan with admiration, ”You have a moment of an incense stick’s time to rest. Do you need to take a break?”

Wang Yuan wiped the blood from his face.

The battle just now wasn’t too easy for him, and he had sustained minor injuries.

But at this moment, he felt as though he had only just finished warming up.

Assassins?

They were nothing more than small fry, barely suitable for his warm-up.

At this moment, his fighting spirit soared even higher!

”No need to rest, let’s continue!”

The Golden Core of the Sword Sect frowned, ”Won’t you switch with your other companion?”

Wang Yuan glanced at Cen Guangwei not far away and slowly shook his head.

”No need, I alone am enough!”

”Good, very confident!” the Golden Core Elder of the Sword Sect relaxed his brows, his gaze shifting toward a high platform. ”Liu Sen Study, are you ready?”

Under the gaze of countless onlookers.

A languid voice came from that high platform.

”Liu Sen Study is only interested in profit, not in damaging the harmony. The tenth shop is already sufficient.”

”This battle, we concede.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was stunned.

They conceded just like that?

Liu Sen Study was, after all, a Golden Core Great Sect, with hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and seven Golden Core Ascendants. How could they concede without a fight?

However, when they saw the enthusiastic and battle-ready Wang Yuan on the Dao Debate Platform, they came to a realization.

It’s said that the cultivators of Liu Sen Study, like those of Qingdan Valley, weren’t very good at fighting.

Now, they were showing fear of battle!

Under many puzzled or contemptuous eyes, the Golden Core Ascendant of Liu Sen Study seemed oblivious.

He said languidly, ”Let’s start the next match quickly, I can hardly wait.”

The Golden Core Elder of Yu Ding Sword Sect overseeing the event felt somewhat helpless.

With three fights less, there were many less exciting moments to witness.

It was quite a pity for their promotion of the Dao Debate Platform in the New Realm.

Having no choice, he turned his gaze toward the representatives of Dream Spring Cave’s Golden Core.

”Friend Wang from Dream Spring Cave, do you wish to forfeit?”

The answer came in the form of three figures emerging from the passageway.

All were dressed in blue, with firm determination in their eyes.

The Golden Core of the Sword Sect nodded in satisfaction and turned his head toward Wang Yuan, ”Are you sure you don’t need to rest? The cultivators of Dream Spring Cave are renowned for their profound and enduring Spirit Power. In a battle of attrition, you’re at a great disadvantage.”

Wang Yuan gave him a look, thinking that this person was rather nice.

In response.

Wang Yuan took a step forward, looking down at the three challengers from an elevated position.

Two women and one man.

”Don’t waste time.”

”All of you, come at me together!”
