Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”The Ghost Emperor was already seriously injured. Although the ghostly aura appeared overwhelming, it was actually false bravado and empty bluff. Had he been at his peak, I would never have been able to repel him so easily. This was evident from the fact that even when trapped by the Xuanbing Qi, he could forcibly break out.”

Ling Fengzi was startled, ”That guy is injured?”

Cang Long nodded heavily, ”Yes, and severely. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been restrained by my Xuanbing Qi!”

Ling Fengzi was puzzled, ”Who injured him? Could it be...”

The two exchanged a glance, and their initial relief at defeating a formidable foe began to turn heavy.

Such a powerful Ghost Emperor, how could he be so severely injured for no reason?

There must have been an even more extreme battle that led to his downfall to this extent.

If it was Wang Yuan and Bai Meiling, then how would they have fared after such a high-level fight?

”We can no longer remain passive and unresponsive!”

Cang Long murmured softly, then, in front of everyone, took out the storage bag Li Yingzhang had given her before leaving.

Her jade hand slapped it, injecting a few Dao Law Methods into it.

The next moment!

A powerful aura instantly spread uncontrollably.

Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.

Especially Ling Fengzi, who felt it more profoundly, his complexion changed drastically.

”Late Stage Nascent Soul!”

”When did the Luo Tian Sect harbor such deep reserves?”

Cang Long did not explain but issued an order instead.

”Speed up, we will charge directly into Yanfu Mountain later, I will lead the way!”

As she spoke, several Top Grade Spirit Stones fell into her hand, ready and waiting.

...

To the west of Yanfu Mountain, there was an empty area.

The Ghost Emperor had just escaped from here.

As time dragged on after his departure, countless low-level Ghosts gathered from all sides, trying to enter Yanfu Mountain.

Suddenly!

A crowd of Yin Soul Resentful Ghosts turned their heads in unison, looking towards the back of the abyss.

What greeted them was a bright white beam of light, breaking through everything, sweeping across the universe.

Sizzle!

This radiant white beam came extremely fast, with immense power, and in the blink of an eye destroyed all Yin Soul Fierce Ghosts, its remaining power even crashing into Yanfu Mountain.

On the Crossing Ghost Ship, Ling Fengzi watched this scene, unable to suppress the twitching of his eyelids.

A massive white tiger, like a giant behemoth, was slowly closing its mouth, with stiff cracking sounds constantly emanating from it.

Moreover, the Top Grade Spirit Stone on its forehead had used up nearly half of its Spirit Power due to this strike.

Not only that, but the Qi Power fluctuations on Cang Long Fairy, who was controlling the White Tiger Puppet, also weakened for a moment.

Cang Long also had a look of shock in her eyes.

Is this the trump card Luo Chen left for the Luo Tian Sect before he left?

A puppet comparable to the Late Stage Nascent Soul!

Where did he acquire it from?

Moreover, the puppet control method he left behind gave Cang Long Fairy an extremely familiar feeling, as if it originated from the Luo Yun Sect lineage?

Could this puppet be related to the old friend Han Zhan?

After witnessing the power of the puppet’s strike firsthand, thoughts raced through Cang Long’s mind, and then she pointed her longsword forward.

”Charge into the mountain!”

The Crossing Ghost Ship transformed into a stream of light, directly storming into Yanfu Mountain.

But soon after, its charging momentum abruptly stopped.

...

Boom!

A terrifying white beam burst through the mountain, colliding with the Great Seal in front, causing it to tremble continuously.

”A powerful enemy is here!”

Deng Taiyue retracted the Xuanhuang Seal with one hand, a grim expression on his face, reminding without looking back.

Unexpectedly, Luo Chen’s voice behind him remained as calm as before.

”No problem, they are my sect disciples.”

Deng Taiyue was taken aback, the strength of the attack just now was almost equivalent to a strike from an ordinary Great Cultivator.

Does his Luo Tian Sect have such hidden experts?

The next moment, a massive white tiger, carrying seven figures, could be seen racing up from the mountain outside with reckless force.

Deng Taiyue’s eyes suddenly widened.

A Late Stage Nascent Soul Puppet?

And the White Tiger Puppet, upon stepping onto this place, abruptly halted, making two depressions on the ground.

The individuals standing atop it, their hearts previously tense, instantly relaxed, becoming both surprised and delighted.

All of them flew down from above simultaneously.

”Master!”

”It’s the Supreme Elder!”

”Supreme Elder is back!”

”Brother Luo Chen, how have you been!”

Luo Chen nodded, ”Ling Fengzi, after years without seeing you, your cultivation level has progressed quite a bit!”

Ling Fengzi composed himself from his astonishment and humbly waved his hand, ”Within the Blessed Land, the Spirit Qi is abundant; such progress is no significant matter.”

Though he was modest, clearly the slight upward curl of his lips also revealed his pride.

Stuck at Early Nascent Soul Stage for three hundred years, it was due to talent issues and the burden of the Human and Demon War.

But ever since entering the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land and cultivating in seclusion for several decades, he finally reaped his efforts and broke through to the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer, entering the Mid-stage Realm.

The Great Dao Path, indeed still holds a glimmer of hope!

Luo Chen smiled, his gaze falling upon the gentle woman in white dress.

Cang Long, instead, spoke first, ”Have you finished your affairs?”

”Done long ago; had it not been for some unexpected events, I would have returned years ago.” Luo Chen explained briefly, then sized up Cang Long Fairy, making her rather embarrassed. After a while, Luo Chen pondered, ”Your realm is still not stable, why have you come out to fight?”

Cang Long brushed a lock of hair from her cheek and frankly said, ”This battle concerns the future rise and fall of Luo Tian Sect; I must contribute my efforts.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Cang Long, Ling Fengzi, and the group of excited cultivators behind them, especially pausing briefly on the silent Gu Caiyi.

In his absence, the cohesion of Luo Tian Sect has evidently increased significantly.

Li Yingzhang has done quite well as the Sect Master!

”Master, about the Ming Water Spring Eye...”

Tian Xuan couldn’t help but speak up, but Luo Chen raised his hand to interrupt.

”I already learned the details from Little White.”

With this, everyone immediately felt reassured.

That the Supreme Elder remains so composed shows everything is still under his control.

Luo Chen turned around, pointing at Deng Taiyue, introducing him solemnly.

”Master Taiyue, Sect Master of Taishan Sect, his renown is well known to you, and he is a friend of mine. His visit here is to lend his support to Luo Tian Sect.”

”Greetings, Master Taiyue!”

All the cultivators of Luo Tian Sect spoke respectfully and courteously.

Having known him before, Ling Fengzi also greeted him.

Cang Long formally introduced herself, using the prefix of Luo Tian Sect Elder as her title.

Only now did Master Taiyue awaken from the shock brought by the White Tiger Puppet, acknowledging the greetings from the younger cultivators of Luo Tian Sect, and returning the courtesy, he could not help but reflect again.

”People only know of Brother Luo’s fame in the Alchemy Sect and his demon slaying prowess; they do not realize he has such astonishing skills in managing a Sect.”

His admiration came from the heart.

At most, Luo Tian Sect was a common Sect established three hundred years ago, lacking any profound heritage.

But now, even a brief encounter shows three Nascent Soul True Masters, a Body Refinement expert, and a Fourth-Order Ghost Emperor.

Oh, not to forget the obedient Savage Beast Mysterious Turtle and the two newly promoted Nascent Souls left at Upper Nether Ruined City!

Such a lineup, even during the peak period of the Eastern Wasteland, would compare to top-tier Ascendant Sects like the Five Elements Divine Sect and Tiandu Sect.

If some are outsiders recruited like Ling Fengzi, rather than direct disciples trained by the Sect, then the late Golden Core juniors like Gu Caiyi, Tian Xuan, and Ye Suifeng are enough to show that the development of Luo Tian Sect hasn’t stalled.

In contrast, his own hard years of secluded cultivation, neglecting the management of Taishan Sect, now seem far inferior.

In his view, this disparity arises not from the talent of the disciples but from the gap between him and Luo Chen, the two leaders.

Indeed, he is not as capable as Luo Chen!

He expressed his praise, to which Luo Chen responded with a faint smile, neither claiming credit nor deflecting it.

He simply looked upward at Yanfu Mountain.

On its slope and summit, Ghost Qi shrouded the sky, with Yin winds blowing fiercely.

Numerous ghostly cries and wolf howls were audible even from hundreds of miles away.

This battle, concerning the rise and fall of Luo Tian Sect, compares to the defense of Danxia and the Baili Qingchuan battle.

Yet the opponents faced here immensely surpass those before.

But in Luo Chen’s eyes, there was no hint of fear.

”Since we’re here, let’s ascend and take a look!”
