Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1469: Chapter 547: Confession, New Mansion, Black King, Seeking Revenge_2 Chapter 1469: Chapter 547: Confession, New Mansion, Black King, Seeking Revenge_2 On the way back, he learned about the details of the previous battle through the Black Scaled Flood Dragon.

He also found out about the origins of the group of cultivators on the boat and the name of their leader, Senior Brother Feiyun Jian, Gu Shaoshang.

Han Zhan smiled, “I only exchanged a few breaths of time with him, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is not my strongest Magic Item, so it’s hard to judge. But from what I can tell, he’s not as good as you.”

Luo Chen also smiled.

“As the senior said, he is not as good as me. However, the Golden Core Seventh Level cultivator, Gu Shaoshang, fought you to a stalemate, while in front of you, I still feel the depth of your residual soul is like the deep sea. Ha ha…”

Han Zhan fell silent.

Luo Chen ignored him and went straight into the Cave Mansion.

Qi Power surged, transforming into several red giant hands, storing various herbs, books, wooden shelves, and mats into the Storage Ring one by one.

The battle with the three Great Demon Kings of the Demon Spider Crab Clan had indeed made quite a commotion.

Having killed three Great Demons, the Demon Spider Crab Clan definitely wouldn’t let it go.

These were no ordinary First and Second Order crabs!

Tianxuan Island was now clearly exposed!

Therefore, abandoning this base was imperative.

This is why Human Cultivators seldom choose to cultivate in places like Savage Mountain Range or Demon Sea Territory.

A few battles could easily attract a large number of Demon Beasts scanning and attacking.

In such a scenario, cultivating in peace was simply impossible.

If it weren’t for the two Spirit Beasts that he had tamed, how could these past five years have been so peaceful?

The departure was imminent.

After packing up everything, Luo Chen looked at this Cave Mansion with the Small Third-Order Spirit Veins, feeling quite reluctant to leave.

“What a pity.”

Muttering, he waved his sleeve.

The Gathering Spirit Formation Flags hidden underground turned into streaks of flowing light flying towards him, and a cracking sound came from above the cave.

Large pieces of falling rocks and gravel rumbled down.

He turned around and walked away.

As he passed the doorway, he recalled the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

…

In the sky, a cluster of light white clouds was drifting slowly.

Luo Chen was holding a compass left by Zhu Qi, fiddling with it continuously.

This was an Array Disc with Water Attributes.

With his modest achievements in Array cultivation, he could observe that there were thirteen Arrays inscribed on it.

Ten of these were the common First and Second Order Arrays.

The other three, however, were quite exceptional Third-Order Formations.

The Sealing Sea Eight Diagrams Formation was among them.

This formation was powerful because it extracted endless water vapor from the sea to form a binding and trapping array; once anyone entered, without absolute explosive power, the array owner would almost surely be undefeated.

After all, human efforts can be limited, but the ocean is boundless.

Luo Chen relied on his Third-Order Late Phase Ancient Desolation Body Physique and the long-refined Ascendant Grade Magic Item Primordial Chaos Tripod to break it in one fell swoop.

Anyone ordinary would likely have been bound alive within it and killed by the bloody spider silk.

Besides the Sealing Sea Eight Diagrams Formation, there was also a Lanyun Mist Cloud Formation, which served a concealing and shielding effect.

As for the final Third-Order Formation, Luo Chen couldn’t discern its origin.

As he was studying the Array Disk, his brows suddenly furrowed.

With a flip of his wrist, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner crossed in front of him.

“Senior, is there something you want to tell me?”

From the Soul Banner, Han Zhan sighed, “I just want to tell you that there’s very little of my Divine Soul Original Source left, key to my future body reconstruction and cultivation. Unless absolutely necessary, I cannot start a major conflict over some trivial enemies and deplete my source.”

Luo Chen’s lips curled into a sneer.

Indeed, Han Zhan had held back.

Previously, when confronting Wu Qi, he used too much low-level soul consumption in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner as an excuse to mask his inability to stop the opponent, forcing Luo Chen to personally intervene to block Wu Qi’s forceful approach to Flying Swallow Islands.

But over the years, he had filled the Soul Refining Banner with the souls of First and Second Order Demon Crabs hunted.

This banner had already restored the quality of a Ten Thousand Soul Banner!

Even to say, because Luo Chen had slain Yan Nantian, the many Foundation Establishment Cultivator souls in the banner had divided and devoured Yan Nantian’s soul, giving those hundreds of Foundation Establishment souls a Third Order essence.

After extensively replenishing low-level souls, a soul of a cultivator who was once a Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization gradually advanced to the level of a Third-Order Ghost King.

This was also why Han Zhan, when activating the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, had besides the original Ghost King, a second Ghost King emerging.

Under such circumstances, the banner had truly regained its status as a Ten Thousand Soul Banner!

With Han Zhan, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, as the operator, even though not at his best, how could a mere Golden Core Seventh Level cultivator be his match?

Yet peculiarly, Han Zhan, while blocking Gu Shaoshang, still had to have the Black Scaled Flood Dragon use its inherent Demon Technique just to barely save the Tianxuan Fighting Bird.

For this reason, it even attracted trouble.

It can be said that Han Zhan has always intentionally held back, hiding his true capabilities.

Listening to the other side now explaining the reason for holding back, Luo Chen could only give a sarcastic laugh.

“I’m not sure whether what you’re saying is true or false, but since senior has chosen to travel with me, and bound by an Oath of Dao, I believe we should truly cooperate earnestly.”

Han Zhan retorted, “When you talk about earnest cooperation, do you mean going all out for each other?”

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons before leisurely saying, “I hope so.”

Han Zhan chuckled lightly, “Then I shall speak plainly. Relying on painstaking cultivation to restore my Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Level is already impossible for me. Moreover, using a possessed Golden Core Cultivator’s body to transcend the Nascent Soul Stage Heavenly Tribulation is also not viable. Thus, I need a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator’s body, and it must be of the Human Cultivator’s to rebuild my body and recreate my Dao Foundation. Luo Chen, can you do this?”
