Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Sea Suppression City!

Standing at the mouth of the sea on the shore of the East Sea, a heroic city of war, built specifically to fend off the coastal invasions of Demon Beasts.

It was not built using the elegant and meandering mountain terrain, but with the coldest Ten Thousand Jun Black Heavy Rock, combined with volcanic lava from a constantly erupting volcano on the Tian Nan Continent.

The city walls seem like an ancient dragon’s spine, stretching for hundreds of miles, with neither head nor tail visible, forcibly carving a foothold out of the ferocious sea territory!

The walls are so high that to gaze upward is to almost break one’s neck. Atop them, the Tianyuan Spirit Cannons are placed, their openings dark and menacing, as if they could destroy anything.

Below, there are nine gigantic gates, known as the Sea Suppression Gate. Each gate is thicker than tens of zhang, covered in rugged and fierce spikes and dangerous Array Light. These Sea Suppression Gates, layered upon each other, not only protect Sea Suppression City from all sides but also prevent a large number of low-level sea demons from rushing directly upstream from the mouth of the sea into the mainland.

Zhou Fuqiu, who had drunk all night, walked among the gates of Sea Suppression City, watching the Sea Suppression Gates rise and fall to allow them passage, his heart filled with awe.

Beside him, Second Junior Brother Fu Bin, seeing this, smiled and said, ”Little Junior Brother seems quite shocked?”

Having been accustomed to the big cities of the mainland with styles such as magnificent, graceful, and ancient, Zhou Fuqiu indeed found himself unable to contain his shock when faced with the Sea Suppression City, seemingly a giant war beast.

He praised, ”It is truly a heroic city! Quite different from the elegant style of my Tianyuan Daoist Sect!”

”You’re mistaken, Little Junior Brother.” Fu Bin laughed heartily and said with emotion, ”Three thousand years ago, my Tianyuan Daoist Sect was the only Divine Transformation Holy Land across the five continents to purify the Demon Beasts. Three thousand years later, my Tianyuan Daoist Sect has the heart to conquer the four continents and unite the Mountain Sea. Who in the world can match our Tianyuan Daoist Sect in terms of martial prowess and iron blood?”

Every mention of ”my Tianyuan Daoist Sect” was filled with pride and reverence.

Not only Zhou Fuqiu, but even the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators next to him were also affected.

”Glorious Tianyuan!”

They were also sect disciples!

When another gate opened, Zhou Fuqiu soared out, flying at low altitude along the river.

He curiously asked, ”Early in the morning, Master Wen hurriedly left, and Second Junior Brother, you urgently brought us to the battlefield. Did something happen?”

Fu Bin’s smile faded and his face became solemn.

”Indeed, something did happen. It’s said that last night, a great battle erupted in the sea, at an extremely high level, certainly at the Nascent Soul stage.”

At these words, Zhou Fuqiu and the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators changed expression.

”Did the Fourth Order Demon Emperor join the battle?”

At the Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s peak, the sea beast threat near Zhongzhou was practically nonexistent, with no talk of any demon calamity.

But following the great calamity of Zhongzhou, as the continent fractured into pieces, the Demon Beasts that had lain dormant for years began to reappear sporadically.

In the past few decades, it was mostly some low-level Demon Beasts of the First and Second Orders.

Yet in recent years, numerous Third-Order Demon Kings have been surfacing.

And now, even a Fourth Order Demon Emperor has joined the fray!

How could the people not be astounded?

Fu Bin said in a deep voice, ”It should be so. Otherwise, Master Wen wouldn’t have hurriedly left. He is stationed at Sea Suppression City, and although there are several other fortresses along the coast, Sea Suppression City is absolutely the most crucial. It cannot be compromised. Therefore, he must investigate the situation thoroughly.”

”What about us?”

”Don’t worry, Nascent Soul True Masters will naturally deal with the Demon Emperor level experts. Our goal is to blockade other areas aside from the sea entrance and protect some arrays from being damaged.”

Fu Bin gave a simple explanation, and everyone felt slightly relieved.

Roaring sounds accompanied the opening of another Sea Suppression Gate, as elite members from the Four Imperial Palaces of the Tian Nan Dao Palace seized the opportunity to fly through.

Fu Bin’s gaze swept across the rear, then he said to Zhou Fuqiu, ”Little Junior Brother, I have already assigned your team. Once you leave the city, you will lead it, patrolling the eight hundred miles around Liubo Mountain.”

Zhou Fuqiu had seen the coastal map beforehand and roughly knew where Liubo Mountain was.

Thus, after identifying his assignment, he inquired about the specific task.

”Only relying on us twenty people?”

The Four Imperial Palaces this time dispatched a total of four hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and twenty Golden Core Ascendant Masters, with each Golden Core Ascendant Master leading a team, divided into twenty large squads. Each large squad was further divided into five small squads of four people each.

Altogether, it amounted to one hundred squads.

Fu Bin shook his head, ”Liubo Mountain is so vast, it’s impossible to rely on just you twenty people. Normally, there are Family Cultivators stationed on it; they are the true main force. As for you, you are a mobile force, poised to provide support wherever an emergency arises.”

Zhou Fuqiu realized.

This kind of setup is relatively more flexible and also cultivates the independent action capabilities of the Daoist Palace’s talents, far better than the rigid task-based training.

”Alright, the ninth gate is about to open, which signifies completely leaving Sea Suppression City. Afterwards, while slaying demons and gaining merits, don’t forget to protect yourself as well.”

After Fu Bin offered his reminder, he accelerated and rushed to the forefront.

As the ninth gate opened, reminiscent of a mountain, the Daoist Palace’s talents flew towards all directions like meteors.

Zhou Fuqiu glanced back at the ninth gate, and unlike the previous ancient, solid gates, this one was covered with slimy mucus and debris, full of a bloody scent. Clearly, these were the remains of countless low-level Demon Beasts that had assaulted Sea Suppression City.

His gaze gradually settled on the hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators following him.
