Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1263: Chapter 482: Start the War!_2

Luo Chen caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, unsure of what breed of Strange Fire the other party’s golden flames belonged to.

He just felt that they were quite pure.

Even if their Quality Rank wasn’t as high as his Prosperity and Decline Fire, the level of control exhibited far surpassed his own.

”It seems that when it comes to mastering the Original Source True Fire, I still have much to learn; I have only grasped the basics,” Luo Chen thought to himself.

The atmosphere in the Immortal Mansion became quiet.

Only the crackling of flames and the occasional murmur broke the silence.

After a long time.

Meng Changshou snapped out of his contemplation.

In his eyes, there was a hint of thoughtfulness.

He looked at Luo Chen, who was pondering over a jade slip, and cleared his throat.

Luo Chen set down the jade slip and smiled, ”Friend, have you come to a realization?”

”I have some ideas, but...” Meng Changshou smiled, ”without mastering the Qingdan Array—the pill refining formation—it’s hard to say whether my thoughts are correct. Of course, regardless, the things you mentioned earlier have been very enlightening to me.”

”As long as it’s useful,” Luo Chen nodded, tapping on the jade slip with his finger.

Meng Changshou glanced at the jade slip and casually asked, ”Worrying about the upcoming Open War?”

”Hmm, like a headless fly with no direction,” Luo Chen nodded with a sense of helplessness. ”I can’t help it, my strength here is just too weak, there’s hardly a choice. I wonder if you could offer some advice?”

”Advice?”

Meng Changshou laughed dryly, ”What advice can there be? Surely you don’t plan to compete with those orthodox Golden Core Great Sects?”

Luo Chen also felt helpless.

He knew what the other party said was the truth.

But could it really only be like this?

As he wallowed in confusion, Meng Changshou suddenly said, ”Why aspire for bigger things when you could settle for less? These Third Order Spirit Veins that everyone looks down upon might be small, but their Quality Rank is genuinely Third Order. Wouldn’t it be enough to claim a few more of them?”

Luo Chen was puzzled, ”The Establishment Alliance Covenant stipulates that a Sect may only claim one land; what’s the point of doing that, to provide a wedding dress for others?”

Meng Changshou laughed heartily.

”Haven’t you heard of Immortals moving mountains and reclaiming seas?”

...

One month later!

Moon-Breaking Immortal City.

Countless Glints soared towards the heavens, flying deep into the Xiao Yue Mountain Range.

Large, top-grade Flying Boats crisscrossed among them, with sharp Cultivators poised and ready for battle.

There were even ten gargantuan crafts over a hundred zhang long, spanning the sky, heading in different directions amidst a thunderous rumble.

The Open War had begun!

With the momentum of thunder, they set out to conquer Xiao Yue!

Atop the Red Flame Dragon Boat.

The Five Great Golden Cores gathered together.

Luo Chen took the lead, the other four standing in pairs.

In their midst was a huge map imprinted and displayed by Luo Chen’s Water Mirror Technique.

On the map, there were shiny red dots.

Each red dot signified a Sect’s target for attack.

Some targets were marked not by one red dot, but by several overlapping dots.

This meant that multiple Great Sects had set their sights on the same Spirit Land and would attack together.

As for who would ultimately claim it after the battle, Luo Chen was not concerned about that.

His focus was clear on three major mountains.

Hui Meng Ridge, Iron Blue Mountain, Snow Wolf Flat!

”Dan Chenzi, are we really going to do this?” Di Wuqi couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Chen lifted his eyelids, ”We’ve already decided on this before. Now that it’s crunch time, there is no room for hesitation.”

Di Wuqi expressed his concern, ”But others have set their sights on the other two Spirit Mountains too!”

”As long as we claim them first, they are ours,” Luo Chen stated calmly.

Jiang Yu, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked, ”What will the Luo Yun Sect do if they pursue accountability for one Sect monopolizing three lands? That would be a violation of the covenant.”

Luo Chen pointed at Snow Wolf Flat on the map, ”When the time comes, we’ll simply move the other two mountains over here—isn’t that the same as having only one Spirit Land?”

Moving mountains!

That was Luo Chen’s strategy for this battle.

With guidance from Meng Changshou, all his confusion dissipated.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there had long been tales of creating man-made Spirit Lands or altering existing ones.

Many Immortal Cities were artificially made, with Third Order Spirit Lands elevated and crafted by human hands.

And to alter a Spirit Land?

Qingdan Valley, in the past, was but a single mountain!

But today, everyone knows that Qingdan Valley has five Third Order Spirit Mountains.

The transformation hinged on the Qingdan Valley ancestors moving Spirit Mountains from other areas to their location during the Open War, forcefully relocating them.

Such created Spirit Lands are not man-made, as they retain the Feng Shui pattern and the Qi Mechanism of the Spirit Veins.

With proper nurturing afterwards, their Spirit Qi density would be no inferior to that of naturally growing Spirit Vein Lands.

Luo Chen’s current strategy was to take down a small Third Order Spirit Mountain as quickly as possible.

Then use the force of thunder to invade and occupy other targets, claiming their Spirit Lands.

Finally, relocate them together and cluster them in one place!

Even, if there is a chance, he might gain a few more Spirit Mountains.

As for how to move the mountains later?

The methods had been imparted to Luo Chen after he offered the Pill Formulas of the First Order Tongyou Pill and First Order Blood Burning Pill as compensation to Meng Changshou.

So!

What needed to be done next was just one thing.

”We must be fast!”

”Faster than anyone else, to take down Snow Wolf Flat. With that as our foundation, we snatch the other Spirit Mountains!”

Luo Chen slammed his hand onto the map, making the final decision.

The other four exchanged glances. Even though they had been mentally prepared, they were still shaken by Luo Chen’s ambition.

Under that shock, no one objected.
