Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The other two Hall Masters appeared relatively inadequate, their faces showing shock.

Fu Qinglan sighed softly. Without any visible movement, a touch of green brilliance slowly unfolded, shielding the coral formed by the Spirit Qi.

”Hmph!”

At this moment, a cold snort broke the deadlock.

Zhan Bingtao took a step forward, his overwhelming aura transforming into a sharp battle spear that pierced through the vast ocean, shattering the boundless coral.

The battle spear moved as if cutting through the bamboo, straight ahead.

The coral rose and fell, continuously generating and dissipating, relentlessly attacking the battle spear.

This strange sight appeared dazzling to outsiders, but in reality, it was the purest domain clash.

When the battle spear arrived three feet before Zhou Yunshen, a serious expression finally appeared on Zhou Yunshen’s face.

With a sweep of his large sleeve, the battle spear instantly vanished into smoke.

On the opposite side, Zhan Bingtao also appropriately withdrew the step he had taken forward.

The two silently stared at each other before finally exchanging smiles.

”Worthy of being the Battle Family Patriarch with the strongest combat power among the Giant House. It’s rumored that Fellow Daoist once endured a strike from the ascended Great Power, Youli Divine Monarch, without dying. Seeing it now, it is indeed praiseworthy.”

”You’re too kind. It was merely Youli Divine Monarch’s indiscriminate attack, not worth mentioning as a direct hit. But your abilities, your realm... it’s a pity.”

Zhou Yunshen was helpless; he knew what the other meant by ”pity.”

From witnessing Zhou Fuqiu’s growth, he finally comprehended the Water Origin after accumulating over time, yet his lifespan ultimately prevented further progress.

”With Fellow Daoist Zhan overseeing the Tian Nan Continent, I am also relieved.”

Zhan Bingtao was indifferent, his gaze once again falling on Zhou Fuqiu.

”Now, I wonder if Friend Zhou thinks our Tian Nan Dao Palace is still qualified to teach your Zhou family’s Qilin’er?”

Zhou Yunshen smiled and nodded, ”That is naturally enough.”

The grand domain dispersed into smoke.

Everyone felt relieved.

Zhan Bingtao made a gesture of invitation, ”Please!”

The Zhou family’s grandfather and grandson did not decline and entered the Tian Nan Dao Palace gracefully, greeted by the five True Masters.

Behind them were countless following gazes.

In those gazes, each contained different meanings, and most fell on Zhou Fuqiu.

The elder who overpowered the four True Masters and competed with the Observatory Master was not here for flaunting. His purpose was clear to all — to elevate Zhou Fuqiu!

In this way, Zhou Fuqiu’s cultivation in the Dao Palace will inevitably proceed smoothly, achieving whatever he desires!

...

In the Tian Nan Dao Palace, within the Tianyuan Temple.

Six True Masters sat together while Zhou Fuqiu accompanied his ancestor.

He remained silent, merely listening quietly to the six people’s casual conversation.

This was not boring for him, as the six Nascent Soul True Masters did not exchange any cultivation insights; rather, they discussed matters concerning the Tian Nan Continent and the affairs in Li Bei and East Yuan.

Or rather, it was about Zhongzhou!

”The war back then was really tragic. The vast Zhongzhou split into pieces, forming its current state. Even us Nascent Soul level powerhouses were powerless in such a battle. Among those who survived, less than twenty or thirty percent remained.”

”Indeed. If I weren’t at the North Sea battlefield, I may not have escaped this calamity.”

”It was the same for me. Being stationed at the Eastern Wasteland battlefield, I was lucky to survive.”

”You all were fortunate. Master Lian and I were in the South Border, facing dangers no less than the Zhongzhou catastrophe. The Youli Divine Monarch, hidden and unremarkable for over a thousand years, unexpectedly had such profound realms. With a single strike, he resolved the crisis of the Gate of Life and Death, leaving me severely injured and taking forty years to recover.”

”You were not in Zhongzhou, never facing the Demon Phoenix’s might directly, but I witnessed it. The scene then is unforgettable for me for life! Accompanied by the Four Great Wild Beasts and Nine Great Ghost Gods, landing in Zhongzhou, causing mountain collapses and fissures, cultivators falling like raindrops. The former Sect Master Mo Dage, allied with our Star Gate Nineteen Elders, activated the Star Gate to seek aid from the Upper Realm. Yet, despite numerous Divine Transformation Great Power avatars sent down, none could stop the Demon Phoenix’s advance. Until the Cut Off Heaven and Earth Great Array was breached, Heaven and Earth Peak collapsed utterly!”

...

Standing behind, Zhou Fuqiu felt his mind surge with emotion, hard to restrain himself.

In Bailu Marsh, surrounded by Zhou family members, his status, like his ancestor’s, was high above all. His talent also allowed him to pride over peers of the same age. Especially after easily surpassing orders to slay Seventh Uncle, a sense of pride naturally arose.

But after witnessing the ancestor easily obliterate Cold River Valley and Zhan Bingtao withstand the ancestor’s Nascent Soul Domain with profound cultivation level, he realized there are always people more powerful, heavens beyond heavens.

Yet, this was still not the end!

Beyond the Tian Nan Continent, there exist ascended Great Powers, who can defeat millions of troops with a wave of their hand.

In the boundless North Sea, Array Dao Great Powers refine Mountain and Sea, roaming unfettered.

Deep within the Eastern Wasteland Mountains, there is a peerless mighty Qi Xia Emperor, enduring the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s attack, forcibly seizing one of the three treasures of the Daoist Sect, the Star Gate.

These seemingly legendary deeds were recounted vividly by reachable elders, as if they happened right in front of one’s eyes.

All of Zhou Fuqiu’s arrogance had long dissipated, yet a surge of pride naturally arose.

With his talent, he could also achieve it one day!

Zhan Bingtao’s words came down clearly from above, carrying the same sense of heroism.

”Though Li Canghai’s array dao is masterful, he is restrained by two ancient demons in the North Sea. Youli Divine Monarch is strong, but has already ascended, and the Gate of Life and Death is but an empty grave. The brutal Demon Phoenix, with methods against the heavens, is truly invincible in this world. However, after participating in several great battles, and with our Five Elders of Tianyuan sacrificing themselves for a battle, it was finally severely injured, no longer capable of intervening in Zhongzhou affairs.”
