Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Swoosh!

A streak of blood light darted across the sky, incredibly fast.

Below him was verdant Qing Mountain, stretching far and wide.

Suddenly, the speed of the blood light abruptly dropped, his gaze falling upon a massive mountain ahead.

Only to hear a thunderous sound as the mountain suddenly split in half, and a robust man with horns on his head walked out, looking up to meet the gaze of the blood light man.

”Daoist Xue Jiu, long time no see.”

Daoist Xue Jiu snorted, ”Han Shanque, you’re still so irritable; this mountain hasn’t offended you.”

”The mountain hasn’t offended me, but you’ve angered me.” Han Shanque’s eyes shone fiercely as he stared at Daoist Xue Jiu, ”You ambushed and devoured my flesh when I had not yet attained the Dao; I haven’t forgotten this grudge.”

Before the words had fallen, he clapped his stout arms together, and two enormous palms appeared in the void, slapping towards Daoist Xue Jiu.

The combined power of the palms seemed as if to crush everything.

However, Daoist Xue Jiu merely raised an eyebrow, letting the palms hit his body.

Boom!

The blood light exploded, and after the palms disappeared, the blood light gathered again, leaving Daoist Xue Jiu unharmed.

Seeing Han Shanque about to act again, Daoist Xue Jiu waved his hand helplessly, ”Stop, stop, back then neither of us had transformed into our true forms or gained spirit intelligence; it was just instinct, no need to hold such a long grudge.”

Han Shanque ignored him and summoned a black jade iron rod into his hand.

Daoist Xue Jiu’s gaze sharpened; that rod was actually a True Device!

He took a deep breath, ”You stubborn bull, won’t listen no matter what I say; this is an order from the Transmitting Truth Hall of Cangwu Mountain—is this delay meant to provoke Yuan Jun’s wrath?”

Cangwu Mountain, Transmitting Truth Hall!

With the mention of these two names, Han Shanque finally ceased his actions.

He shot a vicious look at Daoist Xue Jiu, then turned and left.

”Don’t follow me, or I’ll eat you alive!”

Daoist Xue Jiu shrugged, too lazy to engage in a battle of wits, and ascended, continuing to fly towards Cangwu Mountain.

Below, Han Shanque stepped one stride at a time, each step crossing ten miles of ground, the rocky terrain offering no resistance.

Such ”Shrinking Soil into Inches” was an extremely advanced Earth Escape Technique.

In the Human Cultivation World, few could cultivate the Earth Escape Technique to this level, but Han Shanque executed it smoothly with no pause, for this technique was an innate demon technique of his Earth Shaking Divine Bull Clan.

Steadily advancing, getting closer and closer to Cangwu Mountain.

During this process, his Divine Consciousness sensed more and more powerful auras around him.

Some were weaker than him, but there were existences stronger than him too!

”Is Cangwu Mountain planning to attack the Eastern Wasteland Human Clan Sect again?” Han Shanque murmured, eyes full of thought.

Beneath the Nine Heavens, as he drew closer to Cangwu Mountain, the flying height of Daoist Xue Jiu gradually lowered.

As a result, scenery within thousands of miles came into his view one by one.

Han Shanque’s flickering figure was naturally among them.

But in other places, other top-tier forces of the Million Mountains also made appearances.

To the east, there was a group of eight apes carrying a palanquin, surrounded by immortal energy—it was surely the elderly Bai Mei Immortal Ape who occupied Immortal Ape Peak.

Behind the palanquin, two beams of green light accompanied each other from afar, bringing with them a fragrant breeze that was delightful—it must be Qinghe’s Twin Beauties.

In a distant majestic river, waves surged as a majestic flood dragon swam upstream, and lower-order demon beasts scattered in panic along its path—the Red Demon Flood Dragon had also arrived!

In just a short moment, his Divine Consciousness detected as many as five Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators!

In the distance, black clouds filled the sky, demon qi rolling forth.

Yet another!

Daoist Xue Jiu’s heart involuntarily tensed.

”What is Cangwu Mountain planning? Suddenly gathering so many top-tier forces to attack the Eastern Wasteland Human Clan Sect? But this time, they haven’t summoned a sufficient number of lower-order demon beasts!”

While he pondered, Daoist Xue Jiu moved at an incredible speed, already reaching Cangwu Mountain first.

Descending in altitude as a sign of respect.

Daoist Xue Jiu restrained his glint as he landed on the spacious plaza outside the Transmitting Truth Hall; someone was already waiting there.

Dressed in a White Bone Robe, their appearance was handsome and even somewhat otherworldly.

”White Bone, long time no see!”

The White Bone Mysterious Snake squinted, ”I knew it, you’d definitely be the first to arrive. Wherever war breaks out, this bloodthirsty vulture of yours is always the first to sense it.”

Daoist Xue Jiu laughed heartily, not denying it.

”Let’s head inside; accommodations have been prepared for you already.” The White Bone Mysterious Snake turned to walk in, and Daoist Xue Jiu quickly followed.

Their relationship was quite good, among the demon clan strong beings.

This was related to their natural habits before their transformation.

One was a bloodthirsty vulture that craved flesh, the other a White Bone Mysterious Snake that fed on bones.

There was no conflict of interest as food, nor were they natural enemies; they had even once fought together with very successful results.

Following closely behind, Daoist Xue Jiu curiously asked, ”What important matter has Yuan Jun summoned us for?”

The White Bone Mysterious Snake glanced at him, ”It wasn’t Yuan Jun who called you here, but the Crossing Truth Palace Master. Didn’t you read the order carefully?”

Daoist Xue Jiu was taken aback; he had indeed scrutinized the order brought by the flying bird from Cangwu Mountain.

The signature was marked [Crossing Truth Palace Master].

But wasn’t the Crossing Truth Palace Master always Youquan?

And Youquan represented Qi Xia Emperor!

But soon, he realized, the former Youquan was just the Vice Hall Master of Crossing Truth Hall and had never used the title [Crossing Truth Hall Master].
