Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1725: Chapter 634: Heaven and Earth Big Formation, Hundred Craft Mountain Master

A glint of light shot from west to east, breaking through the sky.

Where it passed, the wind and clouds surged, leaving traces in its wake.

As it approached a misty peak, it suddenly vanished without a trace.

Three days later, the glint reappeared, yet it was so dim it was almost imperceptible, flying slowly close to the sea’s surface.

”No one followed.”

Luo Chen’s divine consciousness spread in all directions, determining that Fishing Elder and the others had not deviated from their plans to track him, and his heart relaxed significantly.

This mission was entirely pushed by Fishing Elder, aiming for the Blood Independent Cultivator’s Nascent Soul insight, while the place Luo Chen was going to was also for Nascent Soul resources.

There was no difference between the two, neither wished for unexpected conflicts.

Putting away the Breaking Moon Wings, he performed the Dao Spirit Technique, fully activating the Concealing Array engraved on his body.

In an instant, Luo Chen’s breath was almost completely hidden.

Even as lower order demon beasts passed by in the sea beneath him, they failed to notice his presence.

Though heading to Purple Spirit Island might thus be slower, confidentiality and safety were undoubtedly maximized.

At this moment, Luo Chen had time to review the battle at Deadwood Ridge.

Actually, there was not much to review; in that battle, of the Five Great Golden Core cultivators, besides Huangfu Song who had little combat experience, no one used any bottom card, including Luo Chen.

Under such circumstances, no matter how dazzling Gou Xingshi’s Starlight Technique was, or how domineering Dao Lan’s Gold Ni-Dao was, they couldn’t shake Luo Chen’s mind.

What he couldn’t let go of was that close observation of the Nascent Soul war!

The battle between the Blood God Child and Vine King left Deadwood Ridge so devastated that even the earth vein was overturned.

Especially the moment when the vitality of Deadwood Ridge completely dissipated; that was etched deeply in Luo Chen’s memory.

Reflecting on it now, Blood God Child’s methods were clearly aimed at continuously weakening Vine King’s available forces, forcing it to gather all the scattered vitality of Deadwood Ridge before taking it down in one fell swoop.

And under such circumstances, the residual shockwaves from their fight forced them Five Great Golden Core cultivators into a state of fearful vigilance, like walking on thin ice.

This demonstrated the might of Nascent Soul!

However, these were not truly orthodox Nascent Soul methods.

One was an embodiment born of plants, and the other was an external incarnation, neither was a true Nascent Soul True Master.

But precisely because of their imperfections, Luo Chen felt a greater awe towards the capabilities of Nascent Soul True Masters.

”If even the incarnations and monsters at the Nascent Soul Stage are this formidable, what will become of me if I encounter Nascent Soul rampage in the Relics of the Ancient Monks in the Oblivion Sea?”

Luo Chen questioned himself, with no confidence in his heart!

Even though Ding Yi explained previously that the entrance they used was different, and Nascent Soul True Masters sought different treasures from Golden Core cultivators, meaning they might not directly clash, Luo Chen was hesitant to believe it now.

What if!

What if a powerhouse decided to clear the field, casually wiping them out, could I protect myself?

Can the almost fully recovered Han Zhan truly ensure my safety?

Knowing that, even at his peak, Han Zhan was merely a fledgling in Nascent Soul, and the Two Forms and Five Elements Sword Array he relied on, as well as the Nascent Soul Stage puppet, were all gone, destroyed.

Could a crippled Nascent Soul really protect Luo Chen’s safety?

Perhaps he could ensure Luo Chen’s survival in full effort, but would Han Zhan truly risk everything for him?

The battle at Deadwood Ridge provided Luo Chen with a clearer understanding of the power of Nascent Soul True Masters, and at this moment, the red-faced man’s brows were tightly knitted, his eyes filled with worry.

”Previously, perhaps I was too blinded by ecstasy from the achievement of refining a precious item, led astray by Ding Yi’s tantalizing words, using flowery language to seduce me.”

”Reflecting carefully now, perhaps I shouldn’t have taken the risk, or maybe I shouldn’t have ventured out so early?”

Luo Chen scrutinized himself, realizing he was just over a hundred years old, far from the Golden Core limit, nowhere near needing to risk his life in a secret realm.

That Five Elements Lotus Stand, gaining it would be my fortune, losing it would be my fate, why hurry?

At worst, if it could not be found, venturing the Oblivion Sea later would suffice.

By then, Luo Chen’s Dao cultivation would surely reach a new realm, making the journey to the Oblivion Sea safer.

Ding Yi mentioned that the ancient cultivator relics in the Oblivion Sea didn’t only open once; although the timing is irregular, the frequency of openings over a millennium is quite high, allowing me to wait until I’m fully prepared before heading there.

”But this way, it becomes difficult to account for Ding Yi’s side.”

Luo Chen’s thoughts were a bit chaotic at the moment but seemed to have made a decision.

In any case, let’s handle the current matters first!

”With Black King leading the way, Lu Shanjun and the others should have reached Purple Spirit Island by now, I need to speed up a bit too.”

Luo Chen murmured, slightly quickening his speed.

...

Two months later.

On the vast ocean, a sudden fierce wind struck, stirring waves everywhere.

Suddenly.

The violent wind subsided a little, and a figure flew slowly, holding a brand new map in his hand, recognizing the direction.

”There are three places on Black King’s detour route, one being Deadwood Ridge, another a strait with surging undercurrents, and an enormous island full of ancient trees.”

”According to him, it’s either because there’s someone he fears from the bottom of his heart, or there’s a formidable and difficult Demon King.”

”I’ve already bypassed these places, from now on, it’s a smooth path ahead.”

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of turbid qi, his tense mood over many days relaxing a bit.
