Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1149: Chapter 450: Gathering the Strength of the Entire Sect to Help One Person Form a Pill_2

In the eyes of outsiders, this technique was not a breakthrough secret technique, but it was much like one!

Unfortunately, Miao Wen had long since ceased to specialize in the Path of the Sword, and naturally could not cultivate the ”Wisdom Sword Art.”

However, he could not bear to part with the unique effects of this sword sect secret technique.

Therefore, considering his own circumstances, he modified it into a new technique—”Wind-Calming Wave.”

When cultivated to completion, the effects of this technique were not even half as good as the ”Wisdom Sword Art,” but the cultivation process was simpler, and it was not limited to swords alone—other solid objects could also be used as substitutes.

The reason Miao Wen was able to contend with the remnants of the Ghost King in Yuan Magnetic Valley for forty years was precisely because he had cultivated this ”Wind-Calming Wave.”

Even more so, during those forty years of resistance, his understanding of this technique deepened significantly.

After handwriting the complete version for Luo Chen, he explicitly stated that his modified ”Wind-Calming Wave,” once cultivated to completion, could achieve effects close to seventy percent of the ”Wisdom Sword Art.”

”I see you have the intention of Core Formation. This technique may lend you a helping hand. Consider it settling our past grievances,” he said.

”Luo Chen, I shall exchange this technique for an honorable death,” Miao Wen said before he died, his words still faintly echoing.

Luo Chen carefully stored the jade slip into the Accumulated Thunder Treasured Ring.

He was still unsure of the authenticity of the technique and whether or not it contained any hidden traps.

After all, his relationship with Miao Wen was not that good.

The saying that a dying man’s words are good does not apply to everyone.

After returning, he would have to plan for a long time on how to research this technique.

Suddenly.

The flying boat paused slightly.

Luo Chen stood at the bow, his sharp eyes gazing into the distance.

The ghostly realm, filled with Ghost Qi, instantaneously came into view.

The area had expanded several times compared to before, from the Inner City to the slums of the Outer City, all the way westward to the banks of Lancang Lake.

Familiar places like Crescent Valley, Xiao Huan Mountain, and Qingjiang Street had all disappeared, swallowed up within it.

But!

”Can it really end here, just like this?”

As a Third-Order Ghost King, its domain should not be limited to just this small extent.

While Luo Chen was puzzled, he suddenly let out a startled exclamatory sound.

”Eh?”

”What is that...”

In his line of sight, streaks of Glint flashed from another direction of the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.

They were carrying a gigantic demon beast, whether dead or alive he didn’t know, and then they headed straight into the ghostly realm.

Only after a long while did they fly back out, slow and steady.

With Luo Chen’s keen vision, he could faintly make out the relieved expressions on those people’s faces, as well as the badges on their clothing.

”Sword sect disciples!”

Luo Chen was shocked.

He had no idea what the sword sect disciples were up to.

In theory, it was only natural for sword sect disciples to appear in The Great River District, and in fact, they should have come even earlier, perhaps several decades ago.

Their absence had been attributed to being held back by the Luo Yun Sect.

But now, it seemed that was not the case.

These people had delivered a living Second Order Demon Beast into the ghostly realm...

”Could it be that they are helping Pang Renxiong with his cultivation?”

This sudden thought sent a shock through Luo Chen’s heart.

He no longer lingered, concealed his Spirit Light, and swiftly maneuvered the flying boat to leave the vicinity of The Great River District in haste.

...

Following the same path as before, Luo Chen traveled swiftly.

What once took him months, this time he arrived at Tian Lan Immortal City in just three days.

Along the way, he passed through the Taishan District, Liuguang District, and Yuanzhao Kingdom, among other familiar places.

But Luo Chen didn’t disturb any old acquaintances there, merely radiating his Spirit Consciousness briefly for a glance.

There were no troubles encountered during this journey.

Just like that, silently and without any commotion, he stepped into Danxia Peak.

Within the Luo Tian Main Hall.

Xing Zonghan received the imperial decree and hurried back to report on his intelligence.

This expedition had not been very long, lasting only half a year.

But when added to the time spent preparing for the trip, it was almost as long as ten years.

Therefore, the intelligence Xing Zonghan compiled was particularly complex.

”The target for the Open War has been firmly determined to be the Xiao Yue Mountain Range!”

”The initiator, Luo Yun Sect, plus at the beginning the five Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, thirteen Great Sects, now four more Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects and five Golden Core Great Sects have decided to join the Open War. Here is the list of the new sects joining the Open War, Shen Fu Sect, Five Elements Divine Sect, Fenghua Palace, Mo Tian Cliff, Dream Spring Cave, Huanzhu House...”

”Altogether Nine Great Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects and Eighteen Golden Core Great Sects, this campaign is also called the ’Twenty-seven Sects Joint Expedition against Xiao Yue.’

”Twenty-seven Sects Joint Expedition against Xiao Yue?”

It was not much different from the alliance made four hundred years ago by sixteen factions to conquer the Lianxia Range.

Above, Luo Chen quietly memorized the names of the new sects joining the fray.

The involvement of Shen Fu Sect and the Five Elements Divine Sect was expected.

Years ago, when Yu Ding Sword Sect was opening up the Lianxia Mountain Range, they had the support of both sects.

This time, besides the Six Sects of the Far East, there were two additional Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects, Feng Hua Palace and Mo Tian Cliff.

An untouched Savage Mountain Range indeed promised huge benefits.

But was it really necessary to attract the joint efforts of nine Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects?

And those eighteen Golden Core Great Sects were certainly not weaklings either.

As he knew, Jiu Hua Mountain Dream Spring Cave was a well-known Golden Core Great Sect in the Fenghua District, famous for producing various types of Spirit Springs and conducting lucrative business with them, making the Dream Spring Cave cultivators very wealthy.

Huanzhu House was no pushover either, being a well-known assassin organization, rumored to be backed by a Nascent Soul True Master.

And that Liu Sen Study, it was rumored...

”With so many forces involved, Xiao Yue Mountain Range would hardly be enough to go around!”

Luo Chen furrowed his brows, struggling to understand why so many people had joined this Open War.

A large number of participants in a war is naturally a very good thing.
