Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1389: Chapter 522 Chapter 1389: Chapter 522 In the depths of the dungeon.

Luo Chen held a black wooden figure in one hand, mumbling softly.

Unexpectedly, the black figure suddenly opened its eyes, which were full of spirit.

Although the eyes bore the vicissitudes of age, they also reflected the ambition of a middle-aged man.

It was Han Zhan, who had previously perished!

The lips of the black wood puppet moved, and it spoke in human tongue, “Is it the Feign Death Technique? Under the fierce attack of the Middle Stage Nascent Soul Thunder Prison Divine Roc, I indeed had a brush with death. If it weren’t for this Narcent Soul Stage puppet that cultivated simultaneously with my life, I would have died on the spot.”

A Substitute Puppet?

Luo Chen had always heard that the Han Family of the Luo Yun Sect possessed a secret technique of Substitute Puppet passed down through generations.

Back in the days in The Great River District, he had seen Gao Tingyuan use it on the Dao Debate Platform to “kill” Broken Blade Xu Renke.

Later, in the Great Power Ruins of Bai Ye Cave Mansion, Han Zhan’s own grandson Han Zheng also used a Substitute Puppet.

But what was utterly different this time!

In the past, it was always the puppets that died.

This time, if he was not mistaken, under the attack of the Thunder Prison Divine Roc, Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul was indeed completely destroyed!

Perhaps sensing Luo Chen’s confusion, Han Zhan explained personally, “It is not the Feign Death Technique, but the Second Avatar Technique. A puppet avatar and a second avatar are two different concepts; the former is a non-living thing, while the latter possesses my own Nascent Soul’s consciousness and can be regarded as another me.”

“Another you?” Luo Chen frowned, “So you mean to say that you still possess the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage. Since that’s the case, and since the Thunder Prison Divine Roc is not here, you could simply sneak away.”

However, upon hearing this, Han Zhan revealed a bitter smile.

“Do you not see my miserable state?”

Well, Luo Chen was not blind; of course, he could see clearly.

The Nascent Soul Stage puppet of Han Zhan had suffered a devastating attack from the Wolf Emperor Ao Xiao during the battle in Sky Drum Plain, almost being torn apart at that time.

The missing hand and foot were injuries sustained from that event.

Subsequently, being suppressed and captured by Qing Shuang for custody, he never had the opportunity to repair the puppet.

Especially after the fierce might displayed by the Thunder Prison Divine Roc, Han Zhan’s original Nascent Soul was destroyed, and the separated divine soul was severely injured while protecting Luo Chen.

This was the main reason why Luo Chen had managed to survive the aftermath of the battle.

Luo Chen had posed the question because he was scared of being manipulated again!

Tian Yezi had seemed all too trustworthy before.

He had claimed he wanted to leave behind his most perfect creation before dying.

In reality, he had left a trick inside his natal magic item, which made it prone to change ownership during combat.

For a cultivator, what could be more terrifying than having your own natal magic item controlled by someone else in the midst of battle?

These Nascent Soul old monsters were just not trustworthy!

If Han Zhan still retained the fighting power of the Nascent Soul Stage, Luo Chen wanted nothing to do with it.

The other party was extremely weak now and had saved his life; also, he had looked out for Luo Chen normally, which was the main reason Luo Chen kept the fact that Han Zhan was alive hidden from the Thunder Prison Divine Roc.

And the other reason was to escape!

Regardless of the other party’s current strength, but possessing the insight of the Nascent Soul Stage, during such chaos, couldn’t he perhaps take Luo Chen with him while fleeing?

However!

One sentence from Han Zhan dismissed his thoughts.

“Don’t even think about escaping. In my current state, not to mention Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, even Golden Core Cultivators like you could easily annihilate me. With the sky splitting and the earth rending outside, venturing out now would be tantamount to suicide!”

Luo Chen’s heart sank.

At that very moment, the booming sounds in the Transmitting Truth Hall grew louder, interspersed with the roars of the Thunder Prison Divine Roc and the shouts of an old man.

Hearing the old man’s voice, Luo Chen shuddered.

“It’s him!”

Han Zhan seemed to perceive something and glanced at Luo Chen, “True Master Shenyuan braving the danger to storm into the Transmitting Truth Hall, it seems he is determined to have you.”

Luo Chen looked incredibly distressed.

Having only met True Master Shenyuan of the Five Elements Divine Sect once, his memory of him was deeply ingrained.

He had memorized the other’s voice and appearance down to his bones.

There was no help for it, given the other’s insidious intentions to use Luo Chen as a medicine to cultivate a Nascent Embryo Body.

How could he ever forget such a person?

“It looks like neither of us can escape from the outside,” Han Zhan said softly.

Luo Chen’s expression fluctuated, knowing that missing this chance might mean never having an opportunity to escape again.

But if they couldn’t leave, how could they talk of escape…

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Luo Chen’s mind, his gaze landing on the black wooden man in his hand.

“Senior, you previously refined a natal magic item for me and showed considerable skill in Array arts. Do you know how to work with a teleportation array?”

Han Zhan paused, then suddenly realized something.

Although Qing Shuang’s Sleeve Universe was marvelous, it only had an overwhelming effect on cultivators one major realm lower than her.

For cultivators like them at the Nascent Soul stage, they needed to be defeated and have their combat power dissolved before they could be included in it.

Even while inside, as long as they weren’t unconscious, Nascent Soul cultivators could still sense the outside to some extent.

The reason Qing Shuang had been able to take them from Great Snow Mountain across millions of miles to The Deep Part of the Wilderness, was due to a space teleportation array!

He said, somewhat excitedly, “I have some understanding, some understanding. But I don’t know where the teleportation array is, or if it is heavily guarded?”
