Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 809: Chapter 334 The Battle of Seed Cultivator Begins, Ascend to Heaven Palace to Retrieve Pill Formula

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Thrice the bell tolled, its sound spreading across ten thousand miles, reaching straight into the azure firmament.

For a moment, numerous cultivators rode their Glints from all directions towards those five colossal peaks.

Spirit Qi shone like splendorous light, dense and ascending.

Glints transformed into the Five Elements, colorful and variegated.

Moreover, many Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, in their finery and ornate belts, rode the clouds and the fog, arriving amidst joyous laughter.

Luo Chen and Tao Yisheng were among the crowd.

Looking around, for a time, they almost felt bewildered and beside themselves.

Such grandeur, could it be likened to a ”gathering of ten thousand immortals”?

In comparison, the Foundation Establishment Ceremony at Danxia Peak seemed rather insignificant.

No wonder that in the Immortal Cultivation World, Foundation Establishment Cultivators seldom held Foundation Establishment Ceremonies.

In the face of such grand events held by the Great Sects, those mere ceremonies were indeed laughable.

Coming back to his senses, Luo Chen surveyed the group of people they were in.

With Tao Wen in the lead.

Tao Daonan and Qi Lingyun as support.

There was also a Senior Brother who had participated in the previous True Disciple Spell Battle, at the Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment realm.

So gathered were the main forces of the Seed Cultivator Battle.

Of course, Luo Chen, positioned among the people and set to battle alone in the second round, was also an important part of this.

As for the other cultivators, most were friends and relatives who had come to support Tao Wen.

On the side.

Tao Yisheng explained to Luo Chen, ”The sound of the bell ringing thrice usually only happens during the Seed Cultivator Battle.”

”If it tolls six times, it means our Sect has birthed a new Golden Core Ascendant Master.”

”And when the bell rings nine times, either Qingdan Valley has birthed a Nascent Soul True Master, or we are faced with a life-or-death matter of great significance.”

Luo Chen, curious, asked, ”Is this only the case with Qingdan Valley, or do other sects in the Eastern Wilderness Immortal World follow the same practice?”

”It is so for all!” Tao Yisheng replied slowly.

Luo Chen was filled with yearning.

He resolved to set up something similar for the Luo Tian Creed when the opportunity arose.

To set a lower standard.

When birthing a Golden Core Ascendant Master, to toll the bell nine times!

In the midst of their conversation, the party had already passed over the Five Peaks and arrived within Pill Valley.

Seeing the scene in Pill Valley, Luo Chen couldn’t help but express his amazement.

After so little time, the change was immense!

The embryonic form of the nine platforms had already been completed.

Once the shrouding Spirit Light was removed, they revealed their lofty stature.

Above each platform was a building, and beneath each building, an arena.

Besides this.

The nine platforms were arranged in a ring.

At their center, a huge circular stage stood imposingly.

At that moment, the stage was still closed—presumably not set up for the first round.

Moreover!

There was a floating Heaven Palace, suspended above, unknowingly when, overlooking the entire Pill Valley.

Shadowy figures could be seen above, with numerous Immortal Cultivators already revealing their forms.

Standing to the side, Tao Yisheng continued to explain to Luo Chen:

”This Heaven Palace is a flying boat of Magic Item Level, palace-like in form, used as the Sect Leader of Qingdan Valley’s vehicle for travel.”

”This time’s Seed Cultivator Battle is being held unexpectedly, but the corresponding standards will certainly not be lowered.”

”Ascendant Masters will be present to watch the battle from within the Five Peaks.”

”Those Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators have come to watch the ceremony from other sects in this period.”

”Speaking of which, Brother Luo, you will also need to go up there.”

Luo Chen said, ”To receive the Pill Formula?”

”Yes!”

”The Ascendant Master sent from Danyang Peak each year is an Elder from Tai Dan Court. The new pill formulas are usually from Tai Dan Court.”

After hearing this.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, a hint of anticipation flickering within him.

Indeed.

Not long after Tao Yisheng finished speaking, from within the Five Peaks, Golden Core Ascendant Masters emerged, riding on clouds.

Tao Yisheng introduced those individuals to him.

The one from Qingyun Peak was the Sect Leader of Qingdan Valley, the one from Danyang Peak was an Elder from Tai Dan Court, and the Golden Core Ascendant Master from Dragon Head Peak was also quite renowned.

”That one from Luojia Mountain is Ascendant Master Bai Su, the mentor of my sister, at the Early Stage of Golden Core Realm. I didn’t expect her to come to observe as well, it seems she’s here to support my sister!”

Luo Chen was surprised.

Wasn’t it said that Tao Wen had no support from any Golden Core Ascendant Masters?

Turns out she did have a mentorship!

However, from Tao Yisheng’s words, it seemed her appearance was also beyond his expectations.

As the two conversed, even more magnificent Glints flew out from Yuanhua Mountain.

All were Golden Core Ascendant Masters, and the number had clearly surpassed the five that Tao Yisheng had mentioned.

”They are from the Seven Sects of Yu Ding who came to observe, though fewer have come this time than in the past. I heard that only the Luo Yun Sect, Ailao Mountain, Hundred Flowers Palace, and the Ice Castle Sect sent representatives.”

So, does that mean the Sword Sect and the Flame Alliance didn’t send anyone?

Could this be interpreted to mean that the Seven Sects are divided into two factions, with Luo Yun Sect and Sword Sect at the helm?

Yet the Hundred Flowers Palace has always been known for its neutrality.

And within the sect, there are only three Golden Core Ascendant Masters; surely they would not get involved in these matters, right?

There was also the familiar Ice Castle, which had gained the rights to operate in Tian Lan Immortal City for the next ten years from Qingdan Valley, but they maintained an ambiguous stance in the battle between the two Great Sects.

To this day, they had not made a move themselves.

Various thoughts surged in his Sea of Consciousness.

Until Tao Wen’s voice rose from among the people.

”Secure a platform and hold it for fifteen days, and you’ll be one of the Nine Great True Disciples!”

”Dan Chenzi, you may go up to receive the pill formula now.”

About a dozen Foundation Establishment True Cultivators instantly cast their gaze upon Luo Chen.

Some were curious, some skeptical; others hopeful and envious.

Amidst these scrutinizing eyes, Luo Chen remained tranquil.

He patted his sleeve, rode upon a white cloud, and soared upwards towards the Heaven Palace.

As he flew, his eyes swept over the surroundings, spotting many others rushing towards the Heaven Palace just like him.
