Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1520: Chapter 564: The Demon King Wishes to Transform, the Demon Monarch is About to Head North_3 Chapter 1520: Chapter 564: The Demon King Wishes to Transform, the Demon Monarch is About to Head North_3 Deep within his heart, he thought that birds should soar in the sky rather than be trapped in the depths of a grey furnace, constantly in trepidation without seeing the daylight.

…

On Black Swan Island.

A tall woman stood in the courtyard, scattering feed.

Several black swans with elongated necks gathered in the pond at her feet, vying for the delicious bait.

She suddenly looked up at the sky.

Seeing a Divine Handsome Big Bird flying towards a solitary cliff not far away.

After seeing that figure, her face showed even more hesitation.

“The Demon Monarch is really leaving this time!”

“Even the spirit beasts raised outside have been summoned over, obviously making the final preparations for departure.”

“Should I go with him?”

Cheng Haixin could imagine that staying by the Demon Monarch’s side would undoubtedly bring many future benefits.

Having worked for Luo Chen for many years, she was fully aware that the so-called “Demon Monarch” was not very evil.

His Path of Demon is merely manifested in matters related to his own cultivation, appearing particularly domineering and persistent.

Aside from not touching his principles, Elder Qingyang is actually a very nice person.

He constantly bestows little kindnesses on those around him.

He also turns a blind eye to the other minor actions of most Immortal Cultivation Clans.

It could be said that following him would surely allow one to encounter more diverse experiences.

If by luck she becomes his Dao Companion Cultivator, even if only as a favored concubine, she might even have a chance at the Golden Core Dao!

Cheng Haixin could see that Elder Qingyang was not indifferent to women; occasionally, his glances at her appearance and figure carried a sense of appreciation.

However, perhaps there are other preoccupations in his heart, or his Dao Heart is steadfast, not swayed by feminine allure, temporarily suppressing that impulse.

“But if I leave, what will become of the clan?”

Cheng Haixin scattered her Spirit Consciousness, slowly covering an area of more than ten miles.

She saw many things, relatives diligently serving the Spirit Field, flocks of cackling black swans, young descendants learning techniques under the guidance of the clan elder Cheng Haichang… and an old man with white hair and a face full of vicissitudes.

As her Spirit Consciousness dispersed, that elder sitting in the clan’s council hall also looked up, casting a puzzled glance her way.

“Uncle Ji is really old, I fear he may not live another two years.”

“Haichang has good Cultivation Level, but he’s only adept at combat; when it comes to managing the family, he falls short.”

“Because Cheng Dou collected resources for Elder Qingyang earlier on, he has offended many people. Because the elder is present, they dare not trouble our Cheng Family. But if the elder leaves, it might be alright for a short while, but over time, we cannot be assured nothing will happen.”

“I…”

After a long while, the woman bit her lip tightly and slowly shook her head.

She, cannot leave!

…

The news of the Demon Monarch’s departure had somehow already spread among the upper echelons of the major families in the Flying Swallow Islands.

Perhaps someone carelessly spoke too much, or maybe it was discerned by someone observant through various clues.

But regardless, Elder Qingyang’s northward departure is a settled matter.

Moreover, if he leaves, it’s very likely he will not return.

After all, before this, Wu Qi of Wu Shen Island came to visit, followed by Nascent Soul True Master Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, both symbolizing top-tier Nascent Soul Force’s invitations to Elder Qingyang.

Compared to the resource-rich top-tier Nascent Soul Force, the simple Flying Swallow Islands, with its barren cultivation environment, pales in comparison.

With this departure, there would basically be no returning.

Wouldn’t this mean that the Flying Swallow Islands are once again leaderless?

At this, various Immortal Cultivation Clans internally began to stir tumultuously.

Even without Luo Chen paying explicit attention, he could still notice.

Especially the Black Swan Island Cheng Family’s outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense military posture revealed to him the direction of the undercurrent.

Inside Green Sun Palace.

Luo Chen sighed deeply.

The Cheng Family had, after all, served him faithfully for nearly twenty years; if his departure were to bring calamity upon them, that would truly be unkind and unjust.

“It seems I need to arrange some aftermath measures before leaving.”

“Well, it’s just a helping hand after all.”

With a thought, he sent out a Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission.

Cheng Haixin, busy within the clan, showed a look of astonishment upon receiving the transmission, followed by ecstatic joy, and hurriedly rushed towards Yao Yue Island.

Not just her.

At this moment, each Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, along with various heads of the clans in the islands, all received the transmission.

Whatever they were busy with, even if they were in Closed-Door Cultivation.

Not to mention what thoughts they speculated.

Under the “oppressive might” of the Demon Monarch, they all began converging towards Yao Yue Island.

Upon their arrival, in the grand hall above, a young man in white robes with a ruddy complexion regally seated, his gaze penetrating.

He did not speak, simply quietly observing them.

The originally somewhat restless atmosphere gradually became calmer.

Some with sinister intentions even involuntarily broke into a cold sweat, their gazes wandering, not daring to directly look at the person above.

The oppressive atmosphere lasted who knows how long.

Under the sentiment of time dragging like years, suddenly, a voice transmitted downwards.

“Three months from now, I will leave.”

“Before I go, there are three tasks I entrust to you, which you must follow.”

“Those who fail to comply, do not blame me for turning ruthless!”

“The first task is that the Cheng Family will temporarily act as the Master of the Flying Swallow, holding the Yao Yue Island Array Entry and Exit Token, until the emergence of the first native Golden Core Cultivator!”
