Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

However, this was the behavior expected of ”Ba Xiu Qi Tian”.

Moreover, under such sudden display, it should catch the Burial Elder’s attention!

If the other party truly was the Demon Heart Gu Emperor, with the entire Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance publicly searching for information about them, they would surely have made some moves.

Once there’s movement, Luo Chen can respond accordingly.

What about Zhan Bingtao?

Luo Chen admitted that the opponent was strong and came from a significant background.

Yet, who offended them was Ba Xiu Qi Tian, not Alchemy Sect Luo Chen; what does that have to do with him?

As Zhan Bingtao eloquently discussed the plans to gather forces and attack the Gate of Life and Death, Luo Chen’s attention quietly remained on the Burial Elder.

”Indifferent?”

Luo Chen’s heart gradually sank.

...

”Though the Gate of Life and Death has sealed its mountain gate for a long time, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. In the vast South Border, there are still many forces loyal to the Gate of Life and Death, like Unicorn Mountain and the Golden Lion Dynasty... Among them, the Unicorn King at Unicorn Mountain is one of the defenders of the Gate of Life and Death. If we want to break in, we must first eliminate their feathers, so we can move without worry.”

”These trifles can be left to us, the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance!”

”Yes, you are locals and know better than the Tianyuan Daoist Sect cultivators; it’s more suitable to leave it to you. There’s one matter, however, that might need some support from Songyang Alliance Leader.”

”Is it about the Fierce Mountain Seal?”

”Exactly!”

Within the hall, the Songyang Alliance Leader represented the whole Zombie Alliance, discussing the grand plan with Zhan Bingtao.

Such discussion was placed in front of all Nascent Soul experts of the Zombie Alliance, clearly intentionally.

They weren’t too worried about information leaks.

This action against the Southern Border Sacred Land was an open and upright stratagem, even if there were a few spies from the Gate of Life and Death in the hall, it wouldn’t matter.

By then, there would be a confrontation sooner or later!

Luo Chen was somewhat curious, ”What is the Fierce Mountain Seal?”

He asked the Purple Robe Marquis next to him.

In response to Luo Chen’s question, the expression of the Purple Robe Marquis was somewhat complex, and there was an obvious tone of envy in his reply.

”The Fierce Mountain Seal is a prohibition developed by the Songyang Alliance Leader, using his lifebound Gu insect, Fierce Mountain Gu, as the core with Master Li Tian’s secret technique.”

”When placed on Nascent Soul True Masters, it can strengthen the Purple Mansion, preventing us from escaping the Purple Mansion unnoticed during cultivation due to Heaven and Earth Assimilation.”

”In essence, the Fierce Mountain Seal is a lock. With this seal, we can fearlessly wield the Nascent Soul’s power in battle, without the worry of Heaven and Earth Assimilation. But this advantage comes at a cost of greatly reduced daily cultivation efficiency, making our cultivation progress much slower than before.”

After hearing the explanation, Luo Chen suddenly had an epiphany.

Previously, when he arrived at Mi Realm Mountain, he was curious about what methods True Master Songyang used to unknowingly gather so many strong people.

It turned out to be such ingenious means!

By using the Fierce Mountain Gu as the core, deploying the Fierce Mountain Seal, sealing the Purple Mansion, and resisting the force of Heaven and Earth Assimilation.

Judging from its specifics, these methods somewhat resembled his formidable Purple Mansion Barrier.

However, an artificial prohibition pales in comparison to a naturally occurring Purple Mansion Barrier.

At least Luo Chen wouldn’t be greatly affected; in fact, he would benefit from it, greatly improving his cultivation efficiency.

”You’re different.”

The Purple Robe Marquis said enviously, ”You are a pure Body Refiner, with true power belonging to oneself, breaking through countless techniques with sheer force, and therefore, don’t need this seal.”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”You’re too kind. The path of Body Refinement has already declined; haven’t you seen someone like Qi have reached this realm and still tirelessly seek out various Body Refinement Methods?”

The Purple Robe Marquis nodded; indeed, the reasoning was true.

After their conversation, the Evil Mountain Zombie Alliance formally allied with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

However, the details of real cooperation weren’t fully laid out yet.

For instance, if they were defeated in the upcoming battle, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect could retreat to Zhongzhou, but how would Southern Border practitioners face the wrath of the Gate of Life and Death?

On the other hand, if they won, how would the vast Southern Border Domain be divided, and what would happen to the Southern Border’s strong individuals?

In what manner should the Tianyuan Daoist Sect settle in the South Border?

No one deliberately asked these questions, but everyone cared about them.

Zhan Bingtao seemed to want to keep everyone in suspense, showing a tired expression.

”I came a long way and feel a bit weary; shall we discuss the specifics another day?”

Songyang Alliance Leader glanced at the restless crowd in the hall and just slightly nodded.

”Today’s meeting is adjourned; let’s disperse!”

Amid mutual gazes, the ten-day Mi Realm Mountain Nascent Soul Exchange concluded, and everyone filed out.

Above the hall, Zhan Bingtao’s gaze paused for a moment at one departing figure.

”Songyang, that Qi Tian is impressive!”

True Master Songyang calmly said, ”A strong individual like him doesn’t have the humility to work under others. If you wish to make him your servant, I’d suggest dropping that idea fast.”

Zhan Bingtao shrugged, ”Though he can’t be subjugated, recommending him to Heaven and Earth Peak as a Guest Elder is always possible. In the future, perhaps he could even practice alongside you.”

True Master Songyang took a deep breath and said, ”Heaven and Earth Peak is my last resort. If this campaign succeeds, you must uphold your prior agreement and grant me a Fifth Order Spirit Vein from the Gate of Life and Death!”

Zhan Bingtao laughed heartily, ”That would depend on how much effort you put into this battle, and if you can gain Liancheng Ancestor’s approval.”
