Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Zhou Fuqiu turned his head and looked toward the place where the Array had been just now.

His Divine Consciousness pressed down from above, drilling stubbornly into the depths of Liubo Mountain.

Within the Earth Vein, lines of Array patterns lay spread inside like ravines.

The entire Liubo Mountain sat upon them, and those Array patterns even showed signs of expanding outward.

A thoughtful look appeared in Zhou Fuqiu’s eyes: ”I’m afraid what we’re meant to guard isn’t Liubo Mountain, but these secretly arranged Arrays!”

...

Over the vast sea, the dark clouds gradually dispersed.

A tall, robust figure, holding a cerulean trident, stood upon the sea’s surface. Staring at the scattering clouds, he let out an angry roar, as if venting his rage.

The surrounding sea, provoked, exploded at once, boiling like a tsunami.

He glared hatefully to the left and right, then lowered his flags and drums, returning to the Underwater Palace.

At this moment, the Clam Girls’ singing continued, and the Mermaids danced joyously.

In the great hall, that Black Dragon was still happily drinking Qianlan Ice Wine, enjoying the wonderful songs and dances.

”Sebo, how was it, did you catch the fellow who was spying on you?”

Sebo put away the trident and gave a cold snort. ”All my efforts were wasted at the last moment.”

The Black Dragon raised his head, his whiskers swaying, clearly very surprised.

”You’re from the Sea Patrol Yama clan; in the great sea, your Qi Power is endless. Even with you personally making a move, you still didn’t capture the enemy— is that guy really that strong?”

Sebo’s face was tinged with anger. ”That fellow is also adept at Water Control, and on top of that is a demon ghost, slippery as hell.”

The Black Dragon froze. ”A demon ghost?”

”Right!” Sebo nodded. ”Her true form was a giant python, but after I shattered it, I discovered it was condensed from Pure Ghost Qi; in truth she’s a Fourth-Order Ghost Emperor. I failed to notice at first, letting her slip past my strongest strike by sheer luck.”

A giant python?

A Ghost Emperor?

Bewilderment flashed through the Black Dragon’s eyes.

”More importantly, that old codger from Sea Suppression City came out, forcing me to stop pursuing that demon ghost.”

With that, Sebo slapped the table.

”We can’t wait any longer. Since that old codger in Sea Suppression City already knows we’re here, their defenses will only get tighter. We have to move ahead of schedule!”

”Fine.” the Black Dragon said casually. ”Since my master sent me here, it’s also for me to pull my weight. Just give the order.”

Sebo took a deep breath. ”Sea Suppression City looks tightly defended, but in truth there’s only one Nascent Soul True Master. On our side we have the Three Great Demon Emperors, plus you; taking it down won’t be a problem. Originally, I wanted to wait for a few more helpers so we could directly charge into the inland afterward, but now we can only launch early. In a bit, I’ll contact the other two Friends and we’ll attack Sea Suppression City from three directions. You’ll sneak over from the direction of Liubo Mountain and, with your Desolate Beast Body, ram the Nine-layered Gate. That way, our clan’s children can rampage freely through Sea Suppression City!”

At the end, he looked toward the Black Dragon.

”No problem, right?”

The Black Dragon bared his blood-filled maw. ”Relax, it’s nothing.”

...

In the sky, dark clouds gathered and scattered, scattered and gathered again.

When lightning flashed and thunder roared, a streak of ghostly light fell with the lightning onto a small island.

The ghostly light took shape, revealing Little White’s graceful figure.

She exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, fear lingering on her face.

”A Mid-Fourth Order Demon Emperor, and the most troublesome kind— a Sea Patrol Yama. I almost got caught.”

In her relief, Little White recalled what she had just scouted, hesitation flickering across her face.

But after a moment, determination appeared.

”There’s no mistake— that wine-guzzling guy is the Black King!”

At that thought, Little White directly took out a Jade Jue and sent a detailed voice transmission into it.

The very first sentence was:

”Master, the Black King has appeared!”
