Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen humbly smiled and said, ”You’re too kind.”

But in his heart, he was still quite satisfied.

The two hundred people from Luo Tian Sect were selected from nearly ten thousand disciples at its peak, and their loyalty to the sect was extremely high.

A hundred years of exile hadn’t changed their hearts, and living under others’ roofs hadn’t extinguished their will.

The fiercest battles of the past twenty years had further refined their skills and cultivation to the utmost.

According to Fenghua Fairy, in just a mere three years of rest, two more Golden Core Cultivators had emerged within Luo Tian Sect.

One was Yao Mingyue, and the other, somewhat unexpectedly, was an Ice Castle Female Cultivator brought by Jueqing Fairy.

This was just in three years; given more time, the situation would surely improve!

After a moment of reflection, Luo Chen turned his attention to the current big picture.

The material of the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant was limited and could not hold more information; Fenghua Fairy had a lot of unfinished words.

At this moment, under Luo Chen’s inquiry, she detailed the situation one by one.

”The battle of Lingtian Pass three years ago, which lasted nine days and nights, was far more brutal than we imagined.”

”Out of millions of cultivators, after the battle, less than sixty percent survived! It was indeed fortunate for our sect to have avoided that war.”

”Perhaps saying it this way, Brother Luo, you might not feel it deeply. Let’s talk about the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of similar realm to ours!”

”First, among the Five Domains of Lingtian, the mountain gate of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was destroyed; the only remaining Nascent Soul Sword Practitioner perished together with the enemy. Fortunately, Qin Baixiang from the Hundred Beasts Sect survived, but his Fourth Order Spirit Pet, the Twilight Monkey, nurtured over centuries, was brutally slain by a rival Demon Emperor. An elder from East Sun Sect was heavily injured and fled after being sent to guard the Mu Residence. Among the Five Domains, only Fenghua District and White Crane Domain suffered relatively less damage, but it’s said that the situation of the He Huang from the White Crane Gate is not great either.”

”Then over at Lingtian Pass, according to my knowledge, a total of seven Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators died in the war. Among them, there was someone you should know, a newly appointed sect master of Shen Fu Sect, Ye Lan.”

Upon hearing the name Ye Lan, Luo Chen couldn’t help but be stunned.

That was the junior on whom Elder Fu had pinned great hopes.

He was also the future hope of Shen Fu Sect!

For his sake, Elder Fu didn’t hesitate to pay a huge price to obtain a Nascent Soul Formation Pill from Luo Chen.

Wasn’t he supposed to have boundless prospects? And yet he fell so soon?

He couldn’t imagine what Elder Fu’s feelings would be now.

In silence, Luo Chen inquired about the situation of the Dark Abyss Sect.

A smile appeared on Fenghua Fairy’s face once again.

”So even Holy Land Cultivators aren’t as invincible as imagined! Of the seven Nascent Souls who perished at Lingtian Pass, five were from the Dark Abyss Sect.”

Luo Chen was taken aback, but then he understood.

This outcome seemed illogical; how could a cultivator from a dignified Divine Transformation Holy Land be so inadequate?

But in reality, having personally interacted with cultivators from another Holy Land, Luo Chen knew this was quite normal.

Thanks to their high status in the Immortal Cultivation World, abundant resources, and best cultivation techniques, Holy Land cultivators often progressed quickly, reaching high realms with many methods at their disposal.

However, the overly favorable external environment meant they lacked life-and-death trials.

To address this, Divine Transformation Holy Lands often encourage internal competition, as well as holding various large and small competitions.

But in the end, such competitions can’t compare to trials of blood and fire.

The Dark Abyss Sect sent out many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators this time, more than thirty of them!

With such a large number, losing five was quite normal.

But Luo Chen was well aware that the survivors could no longer be treated as mere ”flowers in a greenhouse.”

Having gone through war and seen death, their abilities, along with their combat experience, would inevitably condense and integrate.

And due to the foundation of the Holy Land, these surviving Nascent Soul True Masters were bound to surpass the average Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Five died, appearing like a heavy loss.

But for the Dark Abyss Sect, it was actually a significant improvement.

Luo Chen shook his head inwardly but did not refute Fenghua Fairy’s gloating on the surface.

After all, in this Human and Demon War, the number of Nascent Soul True Masters from the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland who died exceeded five!

There should be gloating, and kicking them while they’re down is warranted!

Adjusting his mindset, he gradually spoke:

”Let’s talk about the Divine Transformation Great Power!”

The smile on Fenghua Fairy’s face gradually receded.

”Initially, seeing the Demon Clan’s prolonged inability to take down the foothold, the Ancient Demon Emperor personally made a move, attacking Lingtian Pass, trying to recover the Chang Ghost. It was Heize Ancestor from the Dark Abyss Sect who stopped him.”

”The two exchanged just one move, and there was no clear winner.”

”Subsequently, the Ancient Demon Emperor ordered a retreat, and the Demon Clan withdrew tens of thousands of miles, leaving the vast emptiness of the Nine Domains as a buffer zone.”

”According to reliable information, the Human and Demon Clans might be signing a ceasefire treaty once more since ancient times!”

Ceasefire treaty?

Luo Chen took a deep breath, ”Is the information really reliable?”

”It is reliable; I got it from Jiuling Yuanjun.” Fenghua Fairy spoke with certainty, hesitated for a moment, and then softly said, ”And last time, when Lingtian City Lord visited, I tested him somewhat with a question.”

”What did he answer?”

”The Eastern Wasteland will once again usher in peace!” Fenghua Fairy said.

Luo Chen nodded; the Lingtian City Lord had an excellent reputation and probably wouldn’t deceive.

Moreover, not only was his realm high, but his seniority within the Dark Abyss Sect was also extremely high, being part of the same generation as the Alchemy Saint back in the day.

He would likely have access to the most insider information.

If the ceasefire treaty is signed, the Eastern Wasteland might once again enjoy peaceful tranquility after the ancient times.
