Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1742: Chapter 640: Demon Clan Assembles, Tai Sui Descends_2

Luo Chen had a calm expression, ”I must admit, I’m having second thoughts.”

”You promised us both back then!”

”But now, circumstances have changed!”

”A few variables, still within controllable range.”

”Really controllable? The celestial signs for the opening of the relic haven’t appeared yet. Once they do, who knows what scale the Demon Beasts congregating near the Oblivion Sea will reach. We are just Golden Core Cultivators, able to fly and tunnel through earth, but if we face off against troops capable of annihilating a Divine Transformation Holy Land, who can ensure no accidents will happen? Friend Ding, Cave Lord, can you guarantee it?”

This time, both Ding Yi and the Moyun Cave Lord remained silent.

Luo Chen didn’t say more, just sipped at the still steaming Spirit Tea.

After a long pause, Ding Yi spoke with a bitter voice, ”I don’t want to miss this opportunity, perhaps the only one in a lifetime.”

The Moyun Cave Lord sighed, ”The same goes for me.”

Bam!

Luo Chen set down his teacup, looking puzzled at the two of them.

”What exactly is inside that makes you so persistent?”

Ding Yi and the Moyun Cave Lord exchanged a glance, finally revealing the reason.

”The owner of that relic must have been a top-tier Tool Casting Crafter in life, with numerous powerful Magic Items left inside. True Devices, Spiritual Treasures are not uncommon there. I want to acquire his legacy,” said the Moyun Cave Lord.

Luo Chen was taken aback, intending to refute why they spoke with such certainty, but suddenly, an image of bloodlight appeared in his mind.

It was a Blood Sword!

It appeared at the Coldlight Island auction, reputed as a Spiritual Treasure, and had slain a Great Power of the Path of Blood.

Allegedly, that Blood Sword eventually broke free from a True Master’s control, headed north, and tunneled into the Oblivion Sea.

Could this sword actually come from the ancient cultivator relic in the Oblivion Sea?

”And you, Friend Ding?” Luo Chen suppressed the surge within him and looked at the plump Ding Yi, ”The Cave Lord has a penchant for Artifact Refining, I can chalk it up to his obsession, but why are you so determined to obtain that relic?”

Ding Yi let out a wry smile, ”Determined to obtain? Hardly!”

He patted his ample flesh, ”I’m just forced to.”

With a bitter smile, he cut a piece of fat from his abdomen right before Luo Chen.

”You are...”

Luo Chen was puzzled by his action, but then he saw the cut-off fat moving, showing signs of life!

This horrifying scene stopped Luo Chen mid-sentence.

”See it now!”

Ding Yi exerted Qi Power to burn up the piece of fat.

”The first time I explored the Oblivion Sea, besides obtaining a Soul Nourishing Wood, I also got a remnant Tai Sui. Thinking it was a treasure, I didn’t expect the Soul Nourishing Wood to be inauspicious and the Tai Sui to have a haunting will. It burrowed into my body, cohabiting with me like Bone Creeping Maggots, continuously eroding my physique. It’s predictable that if left unchecked, I’ll be reduced to nothing, unable to cultivate ever again.”

”I’ve spent years seeking a solution.”

”Your Dustfall Pill indeed helps me, enabling the temporary conversion of Tai Sui’s power into Qi Power for my use. Yet, this is just a temporary fix, not a permanent cure!”

”I need to enter that Secret Realm to find the true body of Tai Sui to thoroughly resolve my hidden danger.”

Luo Chen was half-believing.

But upon seeing the place Ding Yi sliced regenerate new, pale fat, he believed more.

Such self-generating flesh power is not something an ordinary person could possess.

Even though he now possessed a Primordial Third Order Body, he couldn’t achieve such a feat.

Only the legendary Tai Sui, with its astonishing vitality, famed for being ”transparent as ice, granting longevity,” could possess such a creation.

Now that Ding Yi is plagued by the remnant Tai Sui, if he doesn’t want to be consumed, he must find the original body to completely solve his issue.

Putting back his clothes to cover his body, Ding Yi looked again at Luo Chen.

”Tai Sui is a legendary Spirit Medicine, ranking at the top in the Mountain Sea Realm. The Five Elements Lotus Stand you seek, according to the remnant thoughts from this fragmented Tai Sui, is nearby as well.”

”Qingyang Zi, missing this opportunity might cause a lifetime of regret!”

The Moyun Cave Lord also urged from the side, ”Able to craft Spiritual Treasures and possess similar treasures to Tai Sui, its owner must be a top-notch expert. Moreover, the relic has withstood centuries of exploration by the Yuan Mo Sect, illustrating the owner’s profound Realm. If we enter, even if we fail to meet our goals, any minor gain will be infinitely beneficial. Qingyang Zi, what are you hesitating for?”

The white-robed Daoist’s red face was torn with indecision.

Finally.

”Let me think it over.”

Luo Chen left.

Ding Yi and the Moyun Cave Lord escorted him once more to the entrance of the Cave Mansion.

Watching his departing figure, Ding Yi put away his previous gloom and bitterness, his long, narrow eyes showing a hint of coldness.

”The Qingyang Demon Monarch of the past wasn’t like this, doing big things while being overly cautious; he’s become cowardly.”

The Moyun Cave Lord stood beside him, with a hint of envy in his eyes, ”Haven’t you noticed, his realm is getting higher and higher? Even in front of the two of us, he doesn’t fall behind at all.”

”Humph, so what?”

The Moyun Cave Lord shook his head, ”You said before, during the battle at Coldlight Island, he was merely at the fourth layer of the Golden Core. But according to Dao Lan, what he displayed at Deadwood Ridge was at least the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm. Breaking through two realms in just twenty years, what does such a cultivation speed signify?”

Ding Yi’s expression paused slightly.

The Moyun Cave Lord sighed, ”This person’s cultivation speed is so fast, and his appearance so youthful, it shows that his actual age must not be great. Unlike us, who can barely live for one or two hundred years, he still has plenty of time to continue climbing the Nascent Soul Dao. Under such circumstances, how do you expect anyone to willingly risk their life?”

The plump cultivator suddenly understood, realizing that in these years of being obsessed with observing the changes of the Oblivion Sea, he had completely ignored the progress of those around him, unlike his own stagnation.

Especially since rogue cultivators’ cultivation speeds are generally low, he had totally overlooked Luo Chen’s advancement.

Thinking about it now, someone with the Golden Core sixth layer realm at such an age, even within a Great Sect, would undoubtedly be considered a genius.

Risking one’s life, how could it be easy?

...

”You, the older you are in the martial world, the smaller your courage becomes.”

On Penghu Solitary Island, the three-inch figure manifested its Nascent Soul True Body, gently laughing at the white-robed man.

Luo Chen, ignoring the mocking intent, directly asked, ”From your perspective, should I go to the Oblivion Sea or not?”

”Your affairs should be decided by yourself, why ask me?”

Han Zhan scoffed, seeing Luo Chen seldom reveal a hesitant look; he shook his head.

”I can’t give you any advice, I can only lead by example and give you a ready-made example.”

”Oh?”

”Tell me, if I hadn’t explored that ancient Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator’s relic back then, would there be a True Master Han Zhan in this world?”

Han Zhan’s opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage came from a secret realm expedition.

For this, he once offended a Golden Core Cultivator from Tian Fan City, incurring the Nascent Soul True Master’s wrath from Tian Fan City.

Instead of misfortune, he gained Tian Fan City’s support, not only breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the Fourth Order Spirit Land, but also elevating the Golden Core Great Sect Luo Yun Sect to the level of the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.

Luo Chen pondered thoughtfully.

Finally, he tentatively asked.

”If I go, would the senior be willing to accompany me and assist me?”

Han Zhan’s three-inch Nascent Soul figure smiled faintly, looking at Luo Chen with a hint of amusement.

”Hesitation is false; wanting my help is the truth, isn’t it?”

Luo Chen scratched his head, revealing a youthful, somewhat embarrassed demeanor.

Han Zhan laughed heartily, ”Between us, no need to beat around the bush, so distant. The Oblivion Sea, I’ve heard about it for a long time and have long wanted to go there.”

Luo Chen was genuinely surprised.

”You’ve researched the Oblivion Sea as well?”

”It’s not research,” Han Zhan’s tone turned serious, his gaze falling on the Soul Nurturing Wooden Plaque, which hosted his Nascent Soul body, ”there might be a chance there for me to reincarnate.”

Luo Chen was startled.

Upon closer inspection, he now noticed Han Zhan’s Nascent Soul was as real as a newborn.

No longer showing the weak, illusory state of the past!

He showed a look of delight, ”Senior, has your strength recovered?”

Han Zhan waved his hand, ”Can’t say it’s fully recovered, after all, without a physical body to rely on, my Qi Power in battle is used up as it’s spent. If you truly want me to protect you during the relic exploration, it’s best to find some suitable Magic Items for me.”

Suitable Magic Items?

Luo Chen’s mind shifted, as his sleeve moved, several rays of light appeared before him.

Han Zhan focused his gaze, his eyes brightening involuntarily.

”Is this an entire set of Magic Flying Swords?”

”They’re called Qi Sha, can be used individually or form an array for attack. Even if they don’t match up to the previous Taiji Five Elements Sword Array you used before, in your hands, they should exhibit formidable power.”

”Qi Sha Swords...”

Han Zhan murmured, as Qi Power surged, the seven dazzling sword devices suspended upright in the air, absorbing Heaven and Earth Qi that instantly emitted a clanging sound.

Such sharpness that even Luo Chen, with Xuan Chen Armor cloaking him, felt its chilling presence.
