Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”After the ancient times, it has been three thousand years!”

”Our Eastern Wasteland human clan has endured hardships and pioneered to secure the Thirty-six Domains, thereby establishing the prosperous Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World.”

”However, the demon beasts are untamed by nature and have broken the Ancient Pact voluntarily...”

After the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators gathered, the Lingtian City Lord began a long speech.

It sounded quite grand, but in reality, everyone was well aware it was just to justify their actions!

Everyone appeared to listen intently to his speech, but in fact, they were waiting for the real content.

The Lingtian City Lord did not keep everyone waiting for long. After pausing, he said in a solemn tone:

”The wolfish ambitions of the demon clan should be clear to all. They don’t just want one city or one land, nor one domain or ten domains, but aim to take over the entire Eastern Wasteland and annihilate our human clan completely!”

”Therefore, led by our Mingyuan Sect, we have built Lingtian Pass here to block the advance of the demon clan army.”

”As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Once their momentum is lost, their countless lower-order demon beasts, with low spirit intelligence and wild nature, cannot be driven for long, even by powerful Demon Emperors. Then will be our time to counter-attack!”

”Obviously, there are capable people in the demon clan too, and they see Lingtian Pass as a thorn in their side, wishing nothing more than to uproot us.”

”The encirclement two months ago was merely a test!”

”If they truly succeed, Lingtian Pass will become an isolated city, and its fall will be inevitable in time without aid.”

”We must not wait passively for doom!”

”Thus, this City Lord intends to launch a surprise attack, to teach them pain, and simultaneously create a strategic buffer zone for Lingtian Pass.”

Surprise attack!

With these three words, everyone’s attention immediately focused.

Someone asked, ”If it’s a surprise attack, does it mean penetrating deep into enemy territory?”

The Lingtian City Lord glanced at the person and replied swiftly: ”Yes! Moreover, the tactical goal is straightforward, to slaughter the Seven Rhinoceros Great Demon Emperor’s division, causing their army to collapse!”

The demon clan has nine great commanders, each with extraordinary strength and their own army.

Among these nine commanders, the Seven Rhinoceros Commander controls the most demon beasts, thus being the most aggressive, once charging ahead of everyone.

The other commanders might have only five or six, or six or seven, Demon Emperors assisting them.

But uniquely for the Seven Rhinoceros Commander, at their peak, they had ten Demon Emperors!

However, after several great battles, their casualties were significant.

Just around Lingtian Pass, four Demon Emperors have fallen.

Clearly, the Lingtian City Lord’s thought is direct: better to cut off one finger than to injure ten.

Take advantage while the nine great commanders have not yet gathered at Lingtian Pass to eliminate the Seven Rhinoceros’ division, achieving as significant a victory as possible.

This is what he means by ”letting them know pain!”

Everyone’s expressions changed, contemplating the feasibility of this.

Jiuling Yuanjun suddenly spoke: ”If we are to annihilate an army, there will certainly be a great commotion, will Commander Huang Man’s side turn a blind eye?”

Clearly not!

And there’s also a crucial issue.

”Once action is taken, who will contend with the two commander-level Great Demon Emperors? Can the Four Directions Xuan Sword of Lingtian Pass strike down enemies from thousands of miles away?”

Once these words were said, everyone’s expressions drastically changed!

The deterrent range of the Four Directions Xuan Sword is limited to within a thousand miles of Lingtian Pass.

And the battlefield for the surprise attack will inevitably enter places like Ba Dao Domain, already occupied by the demon army.

If no one restrains those two commanders, sending ordinary Nascent Soul True Masters is just courting death.

Concerning this issue, the Lingtian City Lord glanced at the black-robed person on his right and said slowly: ”For this battle, I will personally take action! Now, can you be reassured?”

What!

The Lingtian City Lord is going to fight personally?

Everyone was stunned.

”Not only that, but Daoist Shenyuan from the Five Elements Divine Sect will also accompany us.” The Lingtian City Lord said this while pointing to the black-robed person beside him.

The True Master Shenyuan’s gaze swept over everyone, emitting a hoarse voice.

”The Lingtian City Lord will personally lead this surprise attack to crush the Seven Rhinoceros army.”

”And I will lead people to intercept the demon emperor reinforcements from Huang Man’s side, preventing any external interference in the main battlefield of the surprise attack.”

”Even if Huang Man acts personally, I will intercept him!”

With the duo singing in harmony, the Nascent Soul True Masters could no longer oppose.

After all, they are two Great Cultivators, one representing the Holy Land Mingyuan Sect, the other long-renowned in the Eastern Wasteland, with extremely high prestige.

If anyone were to shrink back now, they fear they would not be able to lift their heads among their peers in the future.

Moreover, seeing that the venue includes several unfamiliar Nascent Souls from the rear Sixteen Domains, it’s evident that the Lingtian City Lord is determined about this battle.

He had long made arrangements, hence the meeting!

Seeing no objections, the Lingtian City Lord smiled.

”Very well, since there are no objections, let us now select those who will go to battle.”

”First, the main forces for the surprise attack!”

His gaze swept across the crowd, naming several individuals like reading off treasures.

”Jiuling Yuanjun, Master Li, True Master Jin Ling, Tie Guan Daoist, Elder Fu, Ling Fengzi.”

With the announcement of these six names, everyone deliberated over their significance.

Among the six, aside from Ling Fengzi, there are hardly any weak ones!

Jiuling Yuanjun is reputed to have Qi power comparable to a Great Cultivator, recently rumored to have improved significantly with a new grand technique developed with the assistance of the Alchemy Sect.

Master Li of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, also at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation level, is a genuine sword cultivator with unrivaled combat capabilities.

True Master Jin Ling hails from the Five Elements Divine Sect, practicing its most lethal cultivation technique, ”Life-taking Three Golden Feathers.” When the Five Elements Divine Sect was breached, two Nascent Souls were killed, and True Master Lin Mu nearly perished. It was True Master Jin Ling who battled a formidable demon emperor in defense, saving Lin Mu’s Nascent Soul.
