Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1619: Chapter 598: White-Clothed Cultivator, Blood Sea Lineage?

The Ten Directions Wuying Formation is a well-known Third Order Array Method within the holy land Yuan Mo Sect.

Once fully deployed, it can conceal all breath and even the free-floating Spirit Qi between heaven and earth during its static state.

When active, it can transform into a Defensive Array to ward off attacks from the Outer World.

Even when the Big Formation is broken, this Array still has leftover power to help the array setter create illusions, deceiving the enemy’s Divine Consciousness.

Such an excellent Array, ordinary disciples of Yuan Mo Sect let alone learn it, might not even possess a complete set of Array Setting Tools.

Normally, Yuan Mo Sect only bestows the Ten Directions Wuying Formation upon the exceptional lineage of the three True Disciple branches.

Although it’s unclear how the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering Cultivator discovered this place, the Remnant of Yuan Mo lurking inside, who possesses this Array, must be formidable!

Luo Chen is positioned to the south, seemingly taking pills to recover his Qi Power, but in reality, his mind is constantly focused on the multitude of dark shadows in the sky.

The number of these dark shadows is vast; at first glance, there seem to be hundreds if not thousands.

Each shadow is as detailed and indistinguishable from a True Body.

But obviously, among these shadows, only one is the True Body!

”This is the Ten Directions Wuying Formation not being triggered to its limit before I broke it. If it were at its peak when broken, the number of illusions that could have burst forth would likely be even more,” Luo Chen thought.

”Finding the hidden True Body among them would be even harder too!”

”But since there are four Golden Core Cultivators present, it’s impossible to let it escape. Right now, what I need to do is to watch the changes. Before engaging with this person, I will collect as much intelligence on him as possible.”

This is the strategy Luo Chen is banking on.

It’s quite straightforward.

Though it’s said that the bird that sticks its neck out gets shot, he was the first to act, facing merely a stealth escape Array that posed no real danger; he could make his move calmly after ample preparation.

Right now, it is truly a case of the bird that sticks its neck out getting shot!

Duan Li and Hao Ye, the two, have to face a desperate fugitive, whose danger is much greater than that faced by Luo Chen.

It must be said that this little scheme is not exactly clever.

But in the haste of the moment, neither Duan Li nor Hao Ye managed to react.

Especially the latter, who seemed to be happy to see it happen.

Perhaps this is just how Rogue Cultivators are, while experienced in fighting, they are in some ways too petty, only thinking about preserving their own strength, wearing down the other’s Qi Power, but forgetting that you have to give something up to get something in return.

At the very least, what Luo Chen gains next will prove the correctness of his preemptive move.

Above the ocean, four Golden Core Cultivators each stood in a direction, watching hundreds of illusions scattering in all directions.

Looking closely, the Fishing Elder had the fewest on his side, with barely ten or twenty.

Luo Chen’s side was next, with only a hundred or two hundred.

Whereas the numbers on Hao Ye and Duan Li’s sides were dense and dark, too numerous to see to the end at a glance.

”This person has a keen eye. In just a short moment, he judged the realms of strength between me and the Fishing Elder, deliberately avoiding us, and chose the other two as his breakout points,” Luo Chen analyzed.

While his mind was surmising, Luo Chen’s body suddenly shook.

Red Chains shot out from his body.

The number was nine; at first glance, they appeared like nine giant tentacles emanating from his body.

The tips of the chains were sharp, and with a thought from Luo Chen, they whistled through the air like spear tips piercing the sky.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

They sounded like bubbles bursting.

Under the assault of these chains, the hundreds of dark shadows rushing towards him were dissipated into nothingness within a few breaths, leaving only trails of black smoke unwillingly fading away in the void.

The Fishing Elder on the eastern side twitched his eyes and looked at Luo Chen’s method with a hint of puzzlement.

Luo Chen didn’t care, instead focusing most of his attention on Duan Li and Hao Ye.

”How will you two deal with these illusions and find the True Body?” he wondered.

As if verifying Luo Chen’s thoughts, Duan Li and Hao Ye immediately demonstrated their capabilities.

A White Jade Ruler three feet long floated into the sky with a flick of Duan Li’s hand, exploding into countless ruler shadows in an instant.

Every strike of the ruler produced a series of loud banging sounds in the void.

The numerous illusions rushing at Duan Li began to shatter continuously.

Although Hao Ye looked tense, his movements were not slow; he called upon a Flying Sword that transformed into a streak of light as it pierced the mass of enemies.

Szzt! Szzt! Szzt!

These illusions, merely meant to deceive, lacked substantial defensive power.

Under Hao Ye’s Flying Sword, they collapsed upon contact!

However, due to the sheer number, and Hao Ye’s own Qi Power not being particularly pure, his control of the Flying Sword was slightly lacking.

After destroying most of the illusions, a few still managed to slip past him, flying northward.

”Friend, block those illusions; the real body of this fiend must be among them,” Duan Li shouted.

Hao Ye’s mind tensed, disregarding the few remaining illusions in front of him, and quickly maneuvered his Flying Sword to chase after the escaping figures.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After each one was pierced through, only trails of black smoke drifted in the air, with no True Body in sight.

”This...”

”Wrong, it’s in front of you, be careful!”

Hao Ye was stunned.

But immediately, alarms went off in his mind, without hesitation, he slapped a Talisman onto himself.

The very next moment.

Boom!

A pale hand separated from the shadows and slapped onto his chest.

The Talisman shone brightly, at that instant, it made contact with the pale hand, held firm, and then shattered explosively.

A massive Mana Fluctuation sent both of them reeling back.

”Puh...”

In mid-air, Hao Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, barely stabilizing his figure.

Wiping his mouth, he turned to Luo Chen and said, ”Thank you for the warning, friend!”
