Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1316: Chapter 499: First Arrival at the Front Line, Tricks of the Ghost Realm

”Thud!”

In a lavish quiet room aboard the Red Flame Dragon Boat, Luo Chen abruptly awoke from his meditative trance.

The sound that had just echoed in his ears was like thunder yet not, like the beat of a drum yet not, seemingly not from heaven above but as if it emanated from beneath the earth.

With a thought, he stepped out of the Quiet Room.

”Have we arrived at Sky Drum Plain?” he asked.

Xing Zonghan, familiar with his temperament, had already been waiting outside.

He bowed his head and replied, ”We will arrive shortly. The sound we just heard is likely due to a Golden Core Ascendant Master clashing with a Demon King level existence, causing the slight rumbling sound from the ground.”

Luo Chen nodded slightly.

Ao Xiao Wolf Court was situated in the very center of the Howling Mountain Range.

The extent of its Fourth Order Spirit Vein was vast, covering ninety thousand miles.

Within it, tall mountains stood like a forest, lakes were scattered like stars, and who knew how many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures grew there.

Besides, the most famous was that vast and boundless huge plain.

At first glance, the plain seemed mundane. But if one were to rise to an extreme height and look down, one would find that this plain was higher in altitude than the rest, like a gigantic drum protruding from the depths of a mountain.

Should exceptionally powerful beings fight in this place, the stirring of Qi Power could even cause the crust to echo emptily.

Such a rumbling, thunderous yet not, drum-like yet not, was as if gods were beating drums in the heavens, shaking the Three Realms.

Hence, this plain was named Sky Drum Plain—indeed, a place of great fortune!

According to many, the final battle would most likely unfold on Sky Drum Plain. So currently, the Luo Yun Sect, which had the advantage, and the besieged Ao Xiao Wolf Court were arraying their forces opposite each other on both sides of the plain.

Especially on the Human Clan’s side, they kept calling strong cultivators from the rear lines, continuously eradicating the Demon Beasts’ outposts to put immense pressure on Ao Xiao Wolf Court.

As of now, the situation faintly had the shape of encirclement on three sides.

The reason it was only faintly so was mainly that the Top Grade Third Order Spirit Vein that led to the Five Sects’ defeat in the past had not yet been taken.

That Spirit Vein could be considered one of the gateway’s to Ao Xiao Wolf Court.

If it was not captured, at the Time of the Great War, it could easily cause unexpected problems.

”Sky Drum Plain is very dangerous, with strong members from the Demon Wolf Clan patrolling it day and night, so the Luo Yun Sect’s base camp is established on top of a large Third Order Spirit Vein outside the plain,” Xing Zonghan explained.

”Supreme Elder, we will arrive in just a few dozen breaths,” said Xing Zonghan.

Luo Chen hummed in response, and instead of reentering the Quiet Room, he stood outside, his Spirit Vision continuously scanning in all directions.

On the Flying Boat, other cultivators from the three clans had also gradually come out to gather.

Luo Chen glanced at them and internally sneered.

It seemed they were all still very stingy indeed, afraid to waste the clan’s strong fighters on the battlefield and had only sent the minor characters from the Early Stage or Middle Stage Foundation Establishment.

Only the Wanxiang Sect and Luo Tian Sect were different.

On the side of the Wanxiang Sect, the two Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators looked fairly tense.

They could not afford to lose.

Once dead on the battlefield, the Wanxiang Sect would truly have no future.

And in Luo Tian Sect, Zeng Yilong stepping onto the battlefield once again appeared eager to try.

Such a place was highly suitable for a Body Refiner to hone their strength.

In his last experience, having gone through several battles, he had fully mastered Visible Power and was on the verge of perceiving the pathway to Hidden Power.

Listening to this, it seemed he still wasn’t up to Wang Yuan’s strength when he first came to Tian Lan Immortal City.

But in reality, it wasn’t calculated that way.

Back then, Wang Yuan’s Body Refining path was quite complicated, and his cultivation lacked a methodical approach.

He first comprehended Qi Blood Change and then had to go back and replenish his foundation.

In contrast, Zeng Yilong had laid a particularly solid foundation from youth, progressing step by step from Meridian Cleansing, Organs Refinement, and Meridian Unblocking after advancing to the Second Realm Blood River Realm. And after Grand Opening was completed, his acupoints accumulated endless Qi-Blood.

In essence, his foundation was solid to the point that he naturally went on to the realization of Qi Blood Change.

This was the adage of one generation planting trees for the next to enjoy the shade.

Currently, Zeng Yilong, if his combat experience kept up, his strength would absolutely exceed Wang Yuan’s when he first arrived in Tianlan by many times. Even battling a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator could become possible!

Especially since his return to the front line.

He had barely mastered the Third Order Flying Technique ”Ninety Thousand Miles” taught by Luo Chen.

With this, his offensive power in abrupt movements greatly increased!

One could say that if Zeng Yilong survived this Open War, he would absolutely occupy a place among the strong at the Foundation Establishment Level.

”Wang Yuan claims not to care about the Sect, not to consider the succession, thinking such matters would only hinder his cultivation,” remarked Luo Chen softly.

”In reality, the resources and effort poured into this young disciple over the years have been immense.”

”Since that’s the case, let me, his senior uncle, further sharpen this heavy sword!”

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

He was well aware that top-tier powerful fighters were never created through frugality, nor were they cultivated in isolation.

Only by combining theory, cultivation, and practice could one truly foster a top-level mighty fighter.

Within Luo Tian Sect, there were many cultivators with realms higher than Zeng Yilong’s, such as Gu Caiyi and Sima Wenjie.

But Luo Chen never considered them truly strong, instead categorizing them as Internal Affairs Type Talents.

Only the likes of himself and Wang Yuan, who continuously honed their Fighting Methods through life-and-death battles, could be called mighty fighters, capable of the so-called feat of defeating opponents across different realms.

That was the path Zeng Yilong was meant to walk!

”Supreme, we have arrived!” announced Xing Zonghan in a soft voice, as Luo Chen raised his hand.
