Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Now, seven years have passed, and the eighth year has arrived.

If there’s no major war in the South Border, then the Soulbreak Cliff should have eaten enough.

Leaving at this moment, there must be something more enticing beckoning it.

”Is it somewhere exploding with wars comparable to the North Sea demon chaos and the South Border battles?”

”Or is it something about to happen, or perhaps it’s already happened?”

Luo Chen’s mind conjured up several names, finally settling on the most familiar ”Eastern Wasteland”.

In these years, wars have erupted frequently in the Eastern Wasteland, with countless dying in vain.

Coupled with the fall of the Dark Abyss Sect, that Nether Abyss could no longer shelter the Eastern Wasteland’s ocean territory, and Soulbreak Cliff is perhaps heading towards the Eastern Wasteland.

If that’s the case...

A sense of hope gradually rose in Luo Chen’s eyes.

He had long discovered the tidal patterns of the Netherworld Sea, changing not only with daylight and nightfall but also with the passage of time.

The later it gets, the more serene it becomes.

Like eating, at the start it’s always aggressive, hence the high winds and waves.

Once full, the intensity wanes.

If he wishes to leave, he must seize the moment during the tumultuous wind and waves!

With this thought, Luo Chen secretly made up his mind.

”Before that day arrives, I must divide the Ninth Soul and prepare everything!”

...

A white light flickered along the horizon.

A moment later, the sound of muffled thunder exploded beside his ears.

On Zuowang Peak of Rotten Stalemate Mountain, a silhouette stood by the railing, gazing at the stormy clouds above the Nine Heavens with a calm demeanor.

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and soon a figure walked up behind the elder, performing a respectful bow.

”Sect Master, everything is ready!”

Mo Shouzhuo, Sect Master of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, nodded slightly before entering one of the great halls of Zuowang Peak.

In the empty great hall, as he entered, four beams of light gradually illuminated.

One of the beams, unsteady, impatiently voiced.

”Brother, why not let me enter the South Border again?”

Mo Shouzhuo glanced at that vague silhouette, replying calmly, ”The Gate of Life and Death has gathered, can you break it?”

The person who spoke just now was stifled.

Nearby, three beams of light gradually steadied, and a gentle female voice emanated from one.

”Brother Liancheng, why rush? Youli has ascended, and the South Border is merely a land without a master, give it a few more days to linger.”

Liancheng protested, ”Without a Divine Transformation in command, the Gate of Life and Death can undoubtedly be breached, it merely requires more time.”

Mo Shouzhuo countered, ”Aren’t you afraid of the means left behind by Youli Divine Monarch before his ascension?”

Liancheng answered bitterly, ”He only leveraged the massive Spirit Mechanism drawn during Ascension to swiftly defeat me. Now that he’s gone, why fear his leftover means?”

A light chuckle echoed nearby, neither from Sect Master Mo Shouzhuo nor the previous woman.

”Ah, little Liancheng, don’t underestimate the heroes of the world. Youli Divine Monarch’s prowess is beyond your imagination.”

”Brother Buqi, why mock me?” Liancheng said in frustration, ”In the battle at the Gate of Life and Death, your Zhan family lost heavily too! Even the one you most favored to succeed you, Zhan Bingtao, hasn’t recovered from his injuries. And Brother Tan, that girl from your Tan family hasn’t even had her remains retrieved.”

Zhan Buqi’s tone paused, reprimanding, ”The South Border is your responsibility, and you speak like this despite such a major lapse?”

Tan Fengyue, one of the Five Ancestors of Tianyuan, sighed softly at this moment.

”This campaign across Mountain Sea and Four Continents was meant to train the juniors, that little girl’s death was merely unfortunate timing, destined for such a disaster. Though, Youli Divine Monarch’s abilities were indeed beyond imagination.”

The hall buzzed with discussions, Mo Shouzhuo seemed slightly irritated.

Bang!

He knocked the back of his hand against the table, speaking solemnly, ”Youli Divine Monarch’s reckless actions were indeed unexpected. But he has ascended and left this realm, which is an indisputable fact. The Gate of Life and Death cannot produce another Divine Transformation Great Power in the short term. The fall of the South Border to our sect is only a matter of time. Liancheng, have patience, there will be a day you return to the South Border.”

”Hmph!” Liancheng snorted coldly, although disgruntled, he didn’t continue to insist.

After all, Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s campaign across Four Continents went smoothly everywhere else, only his side faced a setback.

But he was wronged as well!

Who could have anticipated that with a limited lifespan, the presumed impending death of Youli Divine Monarch, he would suddenly ascend and, despite backlash, forcibly eliminate the sect’s army.

Mo Shouzhuo dismissed this matter, beginning to inquire about other locations.

”Chun Yuan, how goes the Eastern Wasteland?”

The gentle woman’s voice resurfaced, narrating the Eastern Wasteland’s situation orderly.

”The small sects, under demon beast threats, have already submitted to us.”

”During the great war times, I once peered from afar at Cangwu Mountain. The Heavenly Tribulation indeed lurks overhead, persisting for over a decade, truly terrifying.”

”Mingyuan’s three friends were truly valiant, still managing such measures before their deaths.”

Mo Shouzhuo’s expression relaxed slightly, ”So, the Demon Phoenix indeed can’t make a move?”

Chun Yuan Ancestor replied softly, ”Yes.”

Mo Shouzhuo exhaled in relief, ”If so, then accelerate steps to unify the East Desolate Immortal World. But remember, our Daoist Sect’s actions should only be confined to the original land of the East Desolate Human Clan; neither the Million Mountains nor Cangwu Mountain should be touched at all.”

Within the hall, someone expressed confusion.

”That Demon Phoenix is already heavily injured, now further suppressed by the Heavenly Tribulation, why such fear?”

This puzzled person was Liancheng Ancestor.

Mo Shouzhuo waved a hand, ”Brother, you don’t understand, the Demon Phoenix’s original strength surpasses that of Youli Divine Monarch. Even when suppressed in this realm and facing various constraints, it’s not something we can provoke casually. Were it not for the sudden collapse of the Dark Abyss Sect, our Tianyuan Daoist Sect wouldn’t have stepped onto Eastern Wasteland territory.”
