Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1478: Chapter 550: Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Inviting the Wolf into the House_2 Chapter 1478: Chapter 550: Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Inviting the Wolf into the House_2 Hearing this name, Luo Chen couldn’t help but murmur it again.

…

Above the clouds, a blurry figure of a Daoist sat with closed eyes.

He held a compass in his hands, its mechanisms slowly rotating.

Under the depiction of his Divine Consciousness, the terrain was gradually absorbed into the compass.

Suddenly!

The Daoist formed a hand seal and gently tapped on the compass.

In an instant, the Magic Pointer of the compass began to spin wildly, with an unknown Qi Mechanism continuously pulling, radiating in all directions.

Finally, the speed of the Magic Pointer slowed down, gradually pointing towards a specific location.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy.

With a swift movement, concealing his Breath, he flew towards that direction.

After a while, Luo Chen bypassed some patrolling Demon Beasts and sneaked onto a Nameless Deserted Island.

On the island, there was only a nearly abandoned First Order Spirit Vein and, apart from some wild beasts with little Spirit Intelligence, there were almost no living creatures.

Luo Chen looked around, feeling extremely satisfied with this place.

This island, although within an Array, was not part of the Big Formation’s main structure, nor was it among the Seventy-Two Islands.

Unpatrolled and unnoticed by anyone.

It was perfectly suited for him to settle down.

With that thought, Luo Chen couldn’t help but closely examine the Array Disk in his hands, which he had obtained from Zhu Qi.

What a wonderful item!

Not to mention its offensive and defensive capabilities, it was simply a powerful tool for Cultivators when venturing outside!

Lanyun Mist Array, suitable for hiding and camouflaging Cave Mansions.

Search God and Spirit Array, suitable for locating Precious Items and Spirit Vein Qi Mechanisms, once activated, it would automatically search for the direction with the strongest nearby Qi Mechanism. Luo Chen did the opposite and thus, found the weakest Qi spot as the base for his forthcoming actions.

And that Sealing Sea Eight Diagrams Formation, in his view now, might not be meant for battle. Its original purpose should be to seal the Spirit Lands to prevent the overflow of Qi Mechanism.

The reason it suppressed Luo Chen in the previous battle was because Zhu Qi had modified it and combined it with his own body parts, forming what’s called a Suppression Law Array.

But that created a natural flaw, which allowed Luo Chen to break it in one move.

Now it seems,

This Array Disk combined the functions of camouflaging Cave Mansions, searching for Spiritual Treasure Qi Mechanisms, and sealing and suppression into one, truly a perfect lethal tool for home travel and skirmishes!

“Great treasure, I don’t know what you used to be called, but from now on, you’ll be known as the God Sealing Compass!”

Inspired by the names and functions of the three formations, Luo Chen gave this Precious Item a new name.

Then, he got busy on this deserted island.

…

Deep in the ocean.

A Five-Colored Clam, nearly a hundred yards big, slightly opened its shells.

A figure, riding the ocean currents, arrived with a thunderous entrance.

He looked up at the Five-Colored Clam and scoffed, “Hmph, just a Five-Colored Clam that failed to Transform, Jin Hun this old fellow, carries it around like a treasure wherever he goes.”

Though he said that, the envy in his eyes could not be disguised.

As if knowing someone had arrived, the clam’s colorful light flashed and the Light Curtain opened.

The person stepped forward with eight limbs and entered.

As he entered, a rich voice resonated from the warm hall.

“Chi Yan Daoist has arrived!”

Chi Yan looked up and saw three figures, each seated in their designated spots.

One was entirely golden, as if clad in Jin Jia, radiating a domineering aura.

Another was surrounded by blue, decorated with several strands of green algae, vaguely revealing beauty.

The last Demon, although its body size reduced, still had a pointy mouth and together with eight limbs and double claws, presented a fierce and terrifying aspect.

If there were any Human Cultivators proficient with Demon Beasts encyclopedia here, they could recognize their species based on the appearances of these three Demons; indeed, they were the King Crab, Blue Emperor Crab, and Nine Claw Poison King Crab Clans.

“Jin Hun, Lv Xiu, Nine Claws, I don’t see you often, but you have come so early this time!” Chi Yan sneered with much sarcasm in his voice.

Jin Hun remained silent, but Nine Claws retorted.

“You old fellow usually hide in the Dead Volcano under the sea, reluctant to even come ashore to bask in the sun, now shamelessly criticizing us for appearing?”

Anger flared up in Chi Yan’s heart, just as he was about to retort, a gentle voice spoke out.

“Stop arguing, we are all gathered here for the future of our Demon Crab Clan, why cause such a ruckus?”

It was Lv Xiu, the only mother Crab Clan Chief among the Five Great King Crab Clans.

Hearing this, Chi Yan snorted coldly but did not argue further with Nine Claws.

Seeing everyone quieting down, Jin Hun, who was presiding over this gathering, slowly began, “We’re just waiting for Zhu Xiang’s arrival,”

The Zhu Xiang he referred to was the Clan Chief of the Demon Spider Crab Clan.

But even though Zhu Xiang hadn’t arrived yet, Lv Xiu said softly, “Brother Jin, maybe you should start explaining the situation so we can discuss it together.”

Jin Hun looked at the three Demons, “The matter is not too complex, it’s just about attacking Mysterious Rock Island.”

Chi Yan scoffed, “We can’t even get close to Mysterious Rock Island, how do we talk about attacking?”

“That’s what I wanted to discuss,” sighed Jin Hun, “No one expected, although the Mysterious Rock Demonic Emperor had departed, he left a life-saving Big Formation for the Ring-Headed Turtle Clan. Formations… for our Demon Clan, it is like a chasm, almost impossible to cross.”

This sigh resonated deeply with everyone.

These years, in their battles with the Mysterious Rock Island Ring-Headed Turtle Clan, they had experienced countless battles, big and small.

The best outcome was conquering twenty-seven islands.

However, when the opponent activated their Formation for a counterattack, within a few days, two-thirds of the twenty-seven islands were recaptured, leaving only nine islands currently in their possession.
