Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Tian Xuan suddenly understood; back then, she was severely injured and on the road, unable to pay attention to these matters.

Now, upon careful recollection, she did have some impression.

At this moment, a profound voice from the flying boat echoed again.

”Huang Independent Cultivator, seeing you here, could it be you are also heading to Molan Court to participate in the Righteous and Demon Ceasefire Assembly?”

Luo Chen furrowed his brows.

Righteous and Demon Ceasefire Assembly, what is that?

And those three words, ’Molan Court,’ made his heart suddenly leap.

If he remembered correctly, Blood Nightmare Mo Luo’s lair within Mo Luo Sect is precisely Molan Court!

Onboard the flying boat, True Master Langya continued, ”If that’s the case, why not come aboard for a chat? I, as a poor Daoist, would like to make a new friend.”

Luo Chen took a deep breath and stepped out from the carriage.

Behind him, Tian Xuan and Sang Jinghe gazed at him with worried eyes, to which he responded with a smile and a wave of his hand.

”No problem!”

Saying this, he floated onto the boat without any trace of earthly breath.

He neither rode the clouds nor was supported by a gentle breeze.

Just this single move made the hundreds of Langya disciples aboard the Langxuan Yun Crossing feel a profound respect.

Indeed, these were the skills of a true master!

Silently manipulating the Heaven and Earth Qi to aid in flight.

Or rather, it was an almost instinctual action!

Upon boarding the boat, Luo Chen glanced around, nodding slightly.

Langya Mountain is managed quite well; around a hundred, all Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, with the presence of several Golden Core cultivators faintly detectable within the boat.

And this was merely the configuration while traveling.

One can imagine that at its peak, Langya Mountain’s strength certainly rivals any typical Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect.

”Friend, this way please!”

Luo Chen smiled faintly, taking large steps towards the temple-like pavilion at the center of the flying boat.

Upon entering, he was greeted by a white-haired Daoist with a long beard and rosy face.

”This poor Daoist is Mei Yiqi, pleased to meet you, Friend.”

Luo Chen smiled back, offering a salutation, ”I am Luo Chen, pleased to meet you, Friend.”

After exchanging names, Luo Chen finally took his seat.

Amidst the lingering fragrance of tea, True Master Langya examined Luo Chen carefully, then after a moment, shook his head and sighed, ”Huang Independent Cultivator, you look so young. I cannot see any trace of time’s wear, yet your realm is similar to mine. Indeed, the Immortal Cultivation World is full of hidden talents!”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, ”I am merely a recluse from the wilderness, lacking the battering of the Immortal Cultivation World’s waves, which is why I appear comparatively young. True Master, your praise is unmerited!”

In these few words, there was an undercurrent of probing.

Luo Chen gave the other party an answer, yet not the one he was asked.

He shifted the topic to the point directly.

”I have been arduously cultivating in the Demon Sea for years, not stepping into the world. What is this Righteous and Demon Ceasefire Assembly?”

True Master Langya laughed, ”Ceasefire means to stop the war; the century-long war between righteous and demon forces yields no victor. Now, with the North Sea Demon Union launching a massive attack on our human territory, this righteous and demon conflict should come to an end.”

”Is the demon threat really that severe?” Luo Chen furrowed his brow.

True Master Langya continued to smile, but this time, there was a hint of bitterness.

”Friend, you enjoy freedom in the Demon Sea, but little do you know how strong the Demon Beasts have become, almost unstoppable. Thirty years ago, the Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower broke the sealing demon array of Great Power Li, intruding North Pole Ye Mo Sky, using the residual power of Oblivion Sea anomalies to tear open a gap in the Billion Soul Demon Locking Array left by Soul Refining Elder before his death. A thousand-mile dike collapsed from an ant’s nest; through that gap, countless powerful Demon Beasts sealed in Ye Mo Sky gained complete freedom.”

”Rumor has it, the Great Sage Beili now resides in Ye Mo Sky, and the Sea Emperor Whale has emerged, standing equally against our human Great Power Li Canghai.”

”Logically, it should be a balanced situation, but wherever the Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower goes, none can withstand!”

”The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering was broken, Divine Yuan City besieged, the Penglai Immortal Sect retreated; our Canghai Righteous Alliance is besieged on both sides. This righteous and demon war truly cannot be continued.”

One shocking piece of news after another burst into Luo Chen’s ears, causing his calm demeanor to falter.

He never expected the situation to have deteriorated to such a state.

Even if North Pole Ye Mo Sky held numerous Demon Beasts, after the demon war, with the Yuan Mo Sect’s foundation, in a final counterattack, they should have taken away most of the elite forces.

But unexpectedly, the Demon Clan army still maintained strong combat power.

And that Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower he caught a glimpse of years ago, was it truly so formidable? Even Human Clan Nascent Soul experts could not resist?

The news of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering breaking was shocking yet reasonable.

But Divine Yuan City being besieged was somewhat bewildering.

It’s worth knowing that the power behind Divine Yuan City is actually the Central Continent Heaven Dao Sect!

Luo Chen took a deep breath and asked about another matter.

”Mo Luo Stream, are they willing to cease the war?”

True Master Langya poured a cup of tea for Luo Chen and then said, ”Why wouldn’t they be willing? Their ally, Penglai Immortal Sect, has fled, and their strength is originally inferior to our Canghai Alliance. Ceasefire is the wise choice.”

Luo Chen was puzzled, ”But I remember that the Blood Nightmare Sect Leader of Mo Luo Stream is the type who fears peace. Could he truly be willing to join hands with you to resist the Demon Clan? Even going as far as to offer up their cultivation land for the ceasefire conference?”

”Haha, you’re talking about Blood Nightmare Mo Luo!”

At this, True Master Langya gave Luo Chen a smile that was not entirely joyful.

”It seems, friend, you haven’t spent long days cultivating in the Demon Sea!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, not offering any argument.

The character of Blood Nightmare Mo Luo only became known to the world later.

The ambush and slaying of Mu Lan Gaoxiong, a senior member of the Canghai Alliance, thoroughly stirred up the war between the magic and the righteous factions. This event took place some seventy or eighty years ago.

Since Luo Chen knows the opponent’s methods, it implies he was in the North Sea Cultivation World back then.

True Master Langya probed a bit about Luo Chen’s intentions and was quite satisfied.

Then, his tone grew somber.

”After Blood Nightmare Mo Luo came out from Oblivion Sea, he was chased relentlessly by Blood Independent Cultivator, like a homeless dog. His only thought is to hide, not daring to return to Mo Luo Stream.”

”Especially when it was discovered that he had refined all the disciples and sect members of the remnants of Yuan Mo Sect into Blood God Children.”

”Such demonic deeds mean there’s no longer any place for him in the North Sea Cultivation World!”

Luo Chen was stunned.

He was originally a sect member of the Demon Sect, so the demon-like behavior is hardly surprising, is it?

Yet suddenly, he realized the oddity within.

Refining Blood God Children goes against humanity.

Moreover, he used the remnants recruited from Yuan Mo Sect to refine Blood God Children.

Understand that when Blood Nightmare Mo Luo formed Mo Luo Stream, he claimed to shelter the survivors of Yuan Mo Sect and restore its former glory.

Such actions are tantamount to self-sabotage of his credibility!

Credibility, reputation, justice, these things, Luo Chen deeply understands their power.

Early on, merely holding the title of Fire Spirit Lord allowed countless strangers to trust him directly; this is the benefit reputation brings.

The establishment concept of Mo Luo Stream is also to revive the glory of Yuan Mo Sect.

Regardless of whether the founder is that behind-the-scenes Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator or Blood Nightmare Mo Luo, the Demon Sect Elder, their banner has been torn down by themselves, leaving no name of justice.

Therefore, True Master Langya’s claim that the North Sea no longer has a place for Blood Nightmare Mo Luo is indeed accurate.

Mo Luo Stream will not spare Blood Nightmare Mo Luo first!

Let alone the Canghai Righteous Alliance.

As for the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, one of the previous three great powers, it has long dissipated in the winds.

If we add Blood Independent Cultivator’s relentless pursuit and attack...

Luo Chen shook his head and sighed, ”No wonder this cultivation land of the Demon Sect giant, Molan Court, has turned into the truce and negotiation land of both the righteous and demonic sides.”

”The world is ever-changing; who would have known it would come to this now? However...”

True Master Langya first lamented for a while, then showed a smile.

”Though indeed, it has given us an opportunity.”

”An opportunity?” Luo Chen was curious.

True Master Langya nodded, ”Yes! Previously during the fierce battle between the righteous and demonic sides, all connections were severed, and transactions of various cultivation resources were also halted. For instance, a material needed for a secret technique cultivation of my sect could only be produced under the command of Lie Tian Sect Master of the Mo Luo Stream. Now with the ceasefire, I can once again purchase that material and continue my previously stalled secret technique cultivation. This time’s ceasefire conference between the righteous and demonic is not only about truce negotiation but an excellent chance for Nascent Soul True Masters to communicate.”

Luo Chen suddenly understood, so it was because of this!

In the past, Langya Mountain was not part of the Canghai Alliance; it was only after the commencement of the righteous and demonic war that they were forced to join.

Having sided with the Canghai Alliance, surely Mo Luo Stream would cease resource transactions with them.

Indeed, it is an opportunity now.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen abruptly asked, ”I heard that Yuan Mo Sect used to spread a method for making Soul Essence, and most forces master this doctrine now lie within Mo Luo Stream. Do you know if they are still producing Soul Essence?”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere inside the hall suddenly turned stagnant.

True Master Langya stroked his graying long beard, squinting slightly as he gazed at Luo Chen.

”Soul Essence?”

”Are you perhaps a remnant of Yuan Mo after all, Huang Independent Cultivator?”
