Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1603: Chapter 592: Ghostly Shadows Abound, Layers of Buildings Towering_3

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s ability to possess such a gigantic city in the North Sea demonstrates its influence.

It is rumored that when Yuan Mo Sect existed, Divine Yuan City was not as large as it is now; it’s over the past hundred years that Divine Yuan City has crazily expanded. Filling seas to create land, moving mountains, and altering veins have all contributed to its current grand scale.

However, this kind of situation is quite common nowadays.

It’s not just the Tianyuan Daoist Sect doing this; other powers are also acting recklessly without any apprehension.

The cultivators of Langya Mountain on the ship are eager to rush to Divine Yuan City, wanting to experience the splendid scenery there.

It is said to be extremely bustling.

Gathering resources from the Five Continents, it is also the prime choice for cultivators from the Five Continents who come to the North Sea.

Even true disciples of the sects occasionally make appearances there.

Of course, there are exceptions, and Luo Chen on board is one such exception.

At this moment, his eyes are tightly closed as he effortlessly casts one Slaying Dragon Technique after another.

Beside him, Han Zhan is staring with wide eyes, fixedly watching the object enveloped by the technique.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen opens his eyes.

”What’s wrong?” Han Zhan asks without turning his head.

Luo Chen stops his hand movements, ”Elder, you can make use of such a small piece of Soul Nourishing Wood. I was wondering if, after you accomplish your task, you could share a bit of that technique with me?”

Han Zhan turns his head abruptly, ”Raising the price on the spot?”

Luo Chen smiles, ”If it’s not okay, forget it. I was just asking.”

With a light chuckle, he resumes his hand movements.

As the malicious aura on the Soul Nourishing Wood is about to be exorcised, and a refreshing and pleasing breath seems about to emerge that will clear the mind and invigorate the soul of any cultivator, Han Zhan couldn’t help but say, ”It’s just a minor technique. I’ll teach it to you later. Hurry up.”

Luo Chen’s spirit is lifted.

”Deal!”

It was worthwhile after all, he thought, having spent a full half-year of exhausting effort helping Han Zhan remove the malicious aura, and now he received an extra gain.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected at first that removing the malicious aura would be so difficult.

Even after he practiced the Slaying Dragon Technique to the Great Perfection Realm, yielding a new special effect, he could still only unravel it slowly and meticulously.

Now it seems to have been worth it.

With a thought, the Slaying Dragon Technique comes readily to his fingers.

...

Outside the room, Tian Xuan stands prettily as if she has been waiting for quite some time.

She occasionally looks at the scenery outside the window, and sometimes her gaze falls on the room’s array.

”Master, we are about to arrive, why are you not finishing your seclusion?”

Thump!

A muffled sound is heard as the sails neatly descend.

The various Spirit Lights that shrouded the Langya vessel gradually extinguish.

On deck, a chorus of cheers can be heard.

”We’ve arrived!”

”Finally here!”

”This is my first time leaving Langya Mountain. I never thought my first journey would be drifting at sea for a whole year.”

”That must be Giant Whale Port ahead!”

”My goodness, look at the water below, there are so many Dragon Whales.”

”Dear me, those are Third Order Dragon Whales, right? Tianyuan Daoist Sect is indeed extravagant, using Third Order Dragon Whale Kings to pull the ship. I can’t even imagine how fast they must be.”

”They say the Tianyuan Business Alliance does the biggest business in the Five Continents, nobody can beat their speed. I heard that in the West Desert’s vast sea, they even have Earth-shaking Divine Oxen pulling their carts.”

”Get ready to unload the goods, we’re about to disembark!”

On the top deck, the Second Elder of Langya Mountain, with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his beard, looks relieved.

They have finally arrived safely.

Business is secondary; if they can settle this batch of sect’s young talents properly, Langya Mountain won’t have all their eggs in one basket.

Even if something happens later, they’ll have a chance to make a comeback.

”I wonder how far the great battle between good and evil has progressed now.”

”Once we go ashore, I’ll have to find an old friend and ask about it. Surely, though Divine Yuan City is far away, their intelligence network must be extensive.”

While the Second Elder was muttering to himself, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

An absolutely terrifying presence, as if a disaster was upon him, rose from his heart.

He looked down sharply.

All he saw was an obscure breath, breaking through the layers of Arrays, shooting up from a second-floor room into the sky.

The breath was so fierce that the mere feeling of it made his skin crawl.

But just when he became tense like a spooked cat, the breath dissipated mysteriously as it reached mid-air.

”What was that?”

The Second Elder swallowed hard.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he fully armed himself, activated his Defense Magic Item, and a three-inch long sword whizzed around his body as he descended to that room.

The moment he lands, however, he discovers the room was already vacated.

”Someone come!”

Shortly after, several figures landed behind him.

Looking at the empty room, the Second Elder’s heart is filled with fearful respect, but his face shows no sign of it.

”Who was staying in this room?”

The crowd looks at one another in confusion until Wang An steps forward.

”Reporting to the Second Elder, it was a Rogue Cultivator named Murong Yuan.”

”Murong Yuan?” The Second Elder frowns. He has never heard this name before and assumes it must be an alias.

He had the intention to berate Wang An for bringing someone aboard without knowing their background.

But after some contemplation, he ultimately holds his tongue.

An existence that could go unnoticed by him and even burst forth with such terrifying breath, how could a mere Foundation Establishment Disciple discern its true nature?

”Elder, what’s the matter?” Wang An is still somewhat clueless and mumbles to himself, wondering why Daoist Murong would leave without saying goodbye as the ship hasn’t even fully docked yet.

The Second Elder waves his hand dismissively, ”It’s nothing; you all need to be more careful in the future, though. Do not befriend Rogue Cultivators without knowing their background. Especially since Divine Yuan City is close to the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, where many Rogue Cultivators dwell, including some who moonlight as Calamity Cultivators. Be extra cautious.”

”Understood!”

Listening to the chorus of his disciples, the Second Elder nods, takes one last deep look at the room, and walks away.

In the end, he didn’t dare enter the room.

As if that thread of terrifying breath was still lingering within.
