Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

After all, back when the Medicine Emperor presided over the Medicine King Sect, it was already at the pinnacle of glory. Now, the Alchemy Sect surpasses even the Medicine Emperor, and its future can only be brighter.

Wherever the Tianhe Lingxu Ship passed, various forces and rogue cultivators, driven by sudden inspiration, would follow.

Coupled with the various factions it organized, the number of people grew increasingly larger.

Upon reaching Lingtian Pass, without the no-fly array, the Tianhe Lingxu Ship sailed straight through, causing a stir of exclamations in the city.

City Lord Mansion.

The Lingtian City Lord paced to the eaves, gazing at the treasure ship that blocked out the sky.

In his line of sight, thousands of sword lights roared upwards.

This was Lin Qingxuan leading the cultivators from the Yu Ding Sword Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

Then, a fortress enveloped in a yellow glow slowly ascended, aligning with the forest of sword light on either side of the Tianhe Lingxu Ship.

These should be cultivators from the Taishan Sect.

Under the leadership of Supreme Elder Deng Taiyue, they didn’t leave Lingtian Pass, but quietly awaited the arrival of the Luo Tian Sect.

The Lingtian City Lord watched all of this quietly.

Tiandu Sect, Fenghua Palace, Sword Sect, Taishan Sect — in such a short time, Luo Chen managed to gather such a formidable force.

And this is only a portion; surely more great forces will join in later.

”Truly, a hero of a generation!”

”If given enough time and connections, there would be few in the Eastern Wasteland who could oppose him.”

”Luckily, such talent has already come under our Dark Abyss Sect!”

The Lingtian City Lord smiled faintly, feeling both admiration for the ancestor’s decisive invitation and fortunate for the Dark Abyss Sect’s acquisition of such great talent.

With a thought, he sent out a transmission.

Soon after, the junior Ye Hong walked in respectfully.

”Give me the seal, and go notify Master Lin and Master Gu that from now on they should not conflict with their neighbor Luo Tian Sect and should get along amicably.”

...

After joining forces with the Sword Sect and Taishan Sect, the Tianhe Lingxu Ship did not linger but slowly departed from Lingtian Pass.

After leaving the city, two more forces quickly followed.

One was a large group of cultivators, numbering around fifty to sixty thousand, harnessing all sorts of treasure lights with flying swords and spirit boats, led by a lavish seven-story treasure tower adorned with various talismans.

This Seven Treasures Tower might not match the Tianhe Lingxu Ship in size, but it surpassed it in opulence.

This was the Shen Fu Sect, for even when facing the dire situation of a waning Nascent Soul Generation, it was still wealthy and ostentatious, losing no dignity.

The other group of cultivators was fewer in number yet still over ten thousand.

Their main flying magical treasure was a large boat resembling some demon beast.

The cultivators standing on it exuded an awe-inspiring and unmatched aura.

The Jiuling Sect had also arrived!

After converging, two glints flew out, entering the Tianhe Lingxu Ship.

Luo Chen, who was in the midst of conversing with Fenghua Fairy, Deng Taiyue, and Lin Qingxuan, smiled faintly.

”Elder Fu and Jiuling Yuan Jun have also arrived!”

The doors opened, and two figures stepped out.

”Please take a seat, you two!”

The two did not refuse, each choosing a chair to sit.

Once seated, Jiuling Yuan Jun asked:

”Who else are we waiting for?”

Luo Chen chuckled, ”Only True Master Xian He, he should be here soon!”

As the saying goes, speak of Cao Cao and he appears.

The divine consciousnesses of the Six Great Nascent Soul True Masters stirred slightly, scanning the surroundings.

In the distance, they sensed a massive fluctuation of Spirit Qi approaching.

Soon, tens of thousands of cultivators came elegantly, riding flying cranes.

Amidst them, an old Daoist instructed his disciples before gracefully boarding the treasure ship.

”Haha, I hope I’m not too late!”

”You are right on time, my friend!” Luo Chen said with a smile, finally feeling settled in his heart.

The Seven Great Nascent Soul True Masters, each representing one of the Seven Great Nascent Soul Sects.

With the backing of the righteous cause of the Dark Abyss Sect and support from the Tiandu Sect.

Under his banner, cultivators gathered, and their numbers were steadily increasing, already surpassing a hundred thousand.

Though this number may seem paltry compared to the one hundred thousand cultivators that the Luo Yun Sect assembled to open the Xiao Yue Mountain Range in its heyday.

But in reality, it’s not quite like that.

When the Luo Yun Sect initiated the war, the so-called million cultivators were ninety percent rogue cultivators who hadn’t amounted to much, most of them being mainly Qi Refinement Cultivators.

But now, these one hundred thousand or so cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect are the absolute elite left after surviving the baptism of the Human and Demon War!

Each and every one of them has various techniques and immensely rich battle experience.

Let alone one against ten, under cross-realm suppression, it’s not an exaggeration to say one against a hundred.

If they were up against demon beasts...

Luo Chen chuckled; the enemy in this battle was not demon beasts!

True Master Xian He had just arrived and saw everyone talking and laughing, so he curiously asked, ”Everyone seems so confident, how are things on the Mount SkyRealm side?”

Luo Chen replied, ”Ling Fengzi has already gone to investigate, and the general information is gradually coming back. There are three sects assisting Mount Sky Cliff this time: Seven Cave Mountain, White Deer Cave, and Five Elements Divine Sect.”

True Master Xian He raised an eyebrow, ”How come I couldn’t see Old Ghost Mo Tian has such popularity?”

”Haha!” Deng Taiyue laughed heartily, ”You guessed correctly, Friend. Although it seems like three sects are assisting, in reality, Seven Cave Mountain and White Deer Cave are after the Five Elements Divine Sect.”

True Master Xian He came to a sudden realization, ”So does this mean our true opponent this battle is the Five Elements Divine Sect?”

Jiuling Yuanjun snorted coldly, ”Together with the seven sects and the Mingyuan Sect backing the Alchemy Sect, I’d dare them to resist.”

Fairy Fenghua shook her head, ”That’s not how it is. The Mount SkyRealm originally belongs to Mount Sky Cliff, and the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sect is a Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator. This trip might not be smooth.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions were different.

Some people just wanted to make a show, they were befriending Luo Chen while also not wanting to harm their own cultivators.

Like Lin Qingxuan, Fairy Fenghua, and True Master Xian He.

Some people, however, wanted a big fight to make Luo Chen remember them well.

Like Deng Taiyue.

And as for the remaining Jiuling Yuanjun and Elder Fu, they would have to face the pressure of initiating a war afterward, so they had conflicting feelings about this battle.

They wanted to fight to deepen their relationship with the Luo Tian Sect, but didn’t want it to be too fierce, in case it affected their own future plans.

Luo Chen understood everyone’s thoughts clearly.

He composed himself and said solemnly, ”Everyone, rest assured. There won’t be a big fight this time because I have the support of the Mingyuan Sacred Land. Even if they don’t respect me, they should respect my backers.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But Luo Chen’s next words brought their hearts back up again.

”But making a Great Cultivator back down without a reason won’t be an easy task. So...”

Luo Chen glanced around at everyone and heavily tapped the table with his finger.

”There won’t be a big fight, but there will definitely be a skirmish, limited to us True Masters!”

”Our sect already has a plan. Just listen for my command at that time.”

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, then nodded in agreement, not wanting to upset Luo Chen.

...

The Luo Tian Sect’s army marched eastward.

Out from Fenghua, crossing Lingtian, bypassing the spiritless Ba Dao Domain, along the Jiuling and Taihu regions, they gradually approached Mount Sky Cliff.

Throughout their journey, many cultivators were shocked by the changes in the natural environment.

The Ba Dao Domain was lifeless, Fire Ridge was scorching hot, and Bikong Domain’s golden wind swept across all directions, seemingly expanding.

The former sect’s territory, Jiuling Domain, is now a vast ocean, leaving Jiuling Yuanjun feeling desolate and distressed.

Taihu Domain’s red earth stretched for miles, a shocking sight.

And all of this was the gift of the Divine Transformation War.

Looking back on the path they had walked, Deng Taiyue was emotionally stirred.

”I wish to enter Divine Transformation!”

As he said this, his gaze repeatedly fell upon Luo Chen.

His hope of entering Divine Transformation was entirely pinned on Luo Chen.

He didn’t know when the Ti Hu Pill would be successfully researched?

Luo Chen noted this hint but made no promises.

The pill formula had been given to a soul split, constantly researching it, but completing it wasn’t something achievable in a year or a month.

And for now, there are more pressing matters waiting for him.

A hundred thousand troops arrive at Mount Sky!

The Mount Sky Cliff side, having received the news already, gathered all cultivators to block the boundary stele between the two domains.

The aged and decrepit Old Ghost Mo Tian stepped forward from the crowd.

Under the gaze of the masses, he augmented his power and called out loudly.

”Alchemy Sect, you’ve gone too far!”
