Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2902 - 1072: Going All Out, A Battle Across the Sea

”Is this the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven?”

Among the crowd, Zhou Fuyou gazed at the unfamiliar territory.

However, to his disappointment, the Dao Sect’s first cave heaven, as recorded in ancient texts, known for its profound mysteries, did not appear to hold anything extraordinary.

Even the most iconic ”Illusion Beasts” were nowhere to be seen.

As Golden Core Cultivators participating in this competition, most were aware of the chance to enter the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven for cultivation after securing a top ten position, so they had preemptively consulted the relevant ancient books. But what they saw now left their minds as puzzled as Zhou Fuyou’s.

Besides the Ten Great Golden Core True Inheritors, there were also thirty-six Nascent Soul True Masters who had entered this time.

Perhaps sensing the doubts in the hearts of the younger Golden Core cultivators, someone explained, ”This time, the cave heaven was opened using an unconventional method, a backdoor if you will, so the internal scenery is also very different. There’s no need to be surprised.”

”Junior Master Li, is the absence of Illusion Beasts also a normal situation?” someone asked curiously.

Junior Master Li replied with a smile, ”Of course not. The Illusion Beasts are actually formed from the Mirage Dragon clouds combined with spirit mechanisms. Unless the disciples from the previous Cave Heaven competition wiped them out completely, they should still exist. The fact that you haven’t seen them yet merely suggests this exit area has already been cleared by Ancestor Liancheng.”

At this, his expression turned slightly solemn.

”You need not be curious about these matters. Your purpose for being here is purely to accelerate your growth. The Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven has a time flow difference compared to the outer world: a hundred years inside equals one year outside. You must make full use of this hundred-year period to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, so that you can emerge as the new leaders of our Daoist Sect!”

”Remember, do not delve too deeply into the cave heaven, for there reside numerous high-order illusion beasts with strength comparable to Nascent Soul True Masters, which are beyond your current capabilities to handle.”

The disciples agreed enthusiastically, each affirming their commitment.

Junior Master Li’s gaze fell upon a somewhat solitary man in white among the crowd.

”Zhou Fuyou!”

”Disciple present.”

”You are the champion of this cycle’s grand competition. The other rewards have already been distributed to the Tian Nan Dao Palace and your clan. As for your personal rewards, you should have received them too, right?”

Zhou Fuyou thought of the array of rewards: the Thousand-Year Thunder Blossom to enhance the power of one’s natal magic item, the Mysterious Element Heavy Water ideal for water attribute cultivators, and a wealth of resources and secret techniques to assist in Nascent Soul Formation.

He nodded gently, ”I received them yesterday.”

Junior Master Li’s eyes held a look of expectation, ”I hope that by the next opening of the cave heaven, you can become one of our peers. Additionally, there will be new opportunities then, and I hope you seize them.”

Zhou Fuyou was taken aback, new opportunities at the reopening of the cave heaven?

He wanted to inquire further, but Junior Master Li and the thirty-six Nascent Soul True Masters were already eager to depart.

After quickly briefing everyone on the situation, they hurriedly departed, riding their glints.

Their direction was unanimous, as if they had entered with a particular mission in mind.

Recalling the name ”Ke Lianshan” spoken by Ancestor Liancheng before they entered, Zhou Fuyou appeared thoughtful.

Ke Lianshan’s name was not renowned among his peers in the Tianyuan Dao Sect, yet among the elders of the previous generation, he was highly esteemed, once on par with the Alchemy Saint, known as the Chess Saint of Zhongzhou.

He was the one most likely to achieve Divine Transformation!

Having disappeared for over a hundred years, who would have thought he had entered the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven at some unknown time?

”Chess Saint Ke Lianshan, along with thirty-six Nascent Soul True Masters, what significant event are they planning?”

Zhou Fuyou pondered, his thoughts momentarily confused.

Once he returned to his senses, he found the other nine companions looking at him with peculiar glances.

Was it because of Junior Master Li’s special attention earlier?

Zhou Fuyou snorted lightly, unbothered. As the champion who outshone his fellow disciples, he had the right to disregard anyone’s opinion.

With a swift leap, he transformed into a stream of light, heading into the distance.

Seeing him so carefree, the others found it hard to comment, with only the elder saying, ”Everyone, find your own spirit land for cultivation,” before they dispersed.

The ten figures turned into ten streams of light, each heading in a different direction.

Compared to the Cave Heaven Competition five hundred years ago, this batch of Daoist Sect’s true disciples had a much easier time.

Even entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven was free of any competitive tasks, purely a reward for the grand competition, allowing them to focus on cultivating for a hundred years.

Zhou Fuyou led the way. In just two or three days, he found a desirable spirit land.

It was a place with a three-layered waterfall and breathtaking scenery, the only drawback being the blackened mountainside, as if scorched by fire.

Entering, however, proved quite troublesome.

Because inside resided a Fourth-Tier Flood Dragon Illusion Beast, comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!

Zhou Fuyou had no fear of this.

To advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, one needed the aid of a Fourth Order Spirit Vein, and with his strength, he was fully capable of crossing ranks to slay this Fourth Order Illusion Beast.

Raising his hands, Zhou Fuyou unleashed a torrential fog from his body, engulfing a radius of ten miles in dense black mist, within it echoed the faint sounds of rushing water.

Qi Sea Floating Sky, with the majesty of all phenomena!

Furthermore, Zhou Fuyou opened his mouth and spat out a spinning bead that flew out to strike the flood dragon-like Fourth Order Illusion Beast.

The two became entangled in battle, causing intense fluctuations in spirit qi across dozens of miles.

In the distance, a woman watched, her expression filled with awe.

She originally thought Zhou Fuyou’s ability to dominate his peers in the grand competition already marked him as exceptionally outstanding.
