Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3310: Demon Spirits Sweep, Vermilion Bird Descends (Part 2)

Moreover, it was a Fourth-order Divine Soul Elixir that even Senior Brother He praised highly!

Jiang Huang had only one possible contact in this regard!

“Is it Xuan Luo?”

…

Not far from the great lake.

A figure quietly flew close to the ground, eyes flashing with indecision and hesitation.

“I don’t know how they are doing.”

“Just a glance, if they’re all dead, I won’t have to worry about being held accountable when I return to the Sect.”

“If they’re still alive… I…”

Master Hong Zhan was deeply conflicted in his heart.

At the time, abandoning his fellow disciples and fleeing quickly was purely an instinct for survival.

But recollecting what Sect Master Taisu Spirit Monarch had said before departing, he found it hard to eat or sleep in peace.

The key was that without the mutual aid of fellow disciples, relying solely on himself, surviving in the current Dark Demon Cave was nearly impossible.

However, if they were still alive, the fate awaiting him upon returning would be just as dire.

For a while, he was racked with inner conflict.

Just as he was trapped in this dilemma, a massive shadow suddenly flew overhead.

Master Hong Zhan instinctively looked up and saw demonic qi piercing through.

Swoosh!

No time to react.

In an instant, he fell silently.

Not even a chance for his Nascent Soul to escape.

High above, the enormous flying beast did not pause, as if it had merely crushed an ant.

And such actions occurred more frequently thereafter.

As the Flying Bird Demon Spirit left the Central Demon Abyss, any immortal cultivator exposed outside died tragically on the spot.

It seemed to patrol its territory, and any who dared venture into the Dark Demon Cave faced only one outcome.

Death!

And its target was glaringly obvious!

It was those as conspicuous as the bright moon—the Sect’s Great Power!

In a valley that resembled ruins.

Dozens of figures busily came and went.

An elder with an immortal aura resided within the magic vehicle cast in the center of the valley, rapidly restoring Qi Power.

In the prior battle, although relying on dozens of Nascent Soul disciples, he trapped and fought three Divinity Transformation Demon Spirits, slaying them one by one, he himself was not unscathed.

Later, he scattered the demon cave and spent further effort.

Thus he had to stay and recover slightly.

But thinking about the innumerable demon spirits in the current demon cave, even he couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

“Though clearing demon caves in the Sect used to be a grueling task, it brought some benefits more often than not. How has it become this dangerous now?”

While he muttered, a strange sensation enveloped his heart.

An inexplicable sense suddenly surged forth.

It was the sudden insight prompted by the trembling of the Primordial Spirit.

Without thinking, he flew out of the magic vehicle, roaring.

“Enemy attack, disciples follow me to meet the enemy!”

Roaring, he drew a circle with one hand, and a bronze mirror emitting a milky white light appeared before him.

As he shone the mirror, an intense milky white light shot into the distance.

“Behold my Haoran Mirror!”

The sacred and pristine power of Haoran drew upon the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, forming an overwhelming force to purify all evil in the world.

Yet the dim sky brought a breath of death.

A massive figure faced the milky white light, advancing undaunted, crashing heavily into the valley.

Boom!

Qi Strength scattered, and the aftermath shook a ten thousand miles radius.

The hastily gathered Daoist Sect Nascent Souls were almost rendered powerless, pulverized by the forceful aftershock.

The Daoist Sect Great Power glared with rage, blurting out.

“Refining Void Demon Spirit!”

…

Within the Demon Suppression Tower.

Two figures sat opposite each other.

A chessboard lay between them.

“Junior Sister Zhu Que, your chess skills have truly regressed!”

An elder in black robes, a jade belt at the waist, smiled at the heroic woman hastily placing her pieces across from him.

The other, clad in a red robe, with slanting sword-like eyebrows into her hair, a high, straight nose, and piercing bright eyes, struck one as full of heroic spirit at a glance.

She hummed softly, “I’ve never been interested in the Dao of Go, and you excel in defense; in our Sect, only the Great Venerate can beat you, or that old Azure Dragon can play with you for a hundred years. No more, no more.”

Black Tortoise True Monarch smiled gently, “Is there any sense in quitting halfway? Since the trial isn’t over, just use it to pass the time and finish this game with your brother!”

Zhu Que True Monarch frowned, “Then you should make your moves faster; if you keep lingering, be careful, I might flip this board.”

“Haha.” Black Tortoise True Monarch stroked his beard and was about to say something when his gaze fell outside.

Zhu Que True Monarch also looked over and directly asked, “What is it?”

Outside the tower, a figure stood respectfully.

“Reporting to the two True Monarchs, a Sect Elder inquired about the progress of the trial?”

Zhu Que True Monarch said impatiently, “What’s the rush? It’s only been a year.”

Xiu Teng stood bent over at the Demon Suppression Tower’s main gate, looking extremely respectful.

“The Sect Elder reported that the soul tokens in his hand are appearing dim frequently, fearing that the trial is not going well. Furthermore, other sects have also reported similar situations, so they sent me to inquire.”

Zhu Que True Monarch remained indifferent, “A bunch of worthless juniors; if they die, they die. Besides, isn’t it always the case that dozens or hundreds die in each Demon Suppression Trial? What’s the urgency? Go back. When the demonic qi dissipates, it will indicate that the Demon Suppression mission is nearly complete. At that time, I will naturally release them.”

“Understood, True Monarch, I will convey it to the others and take my leave now.”

After Xiu Teng retreated, Zhu Que True Monarch smirked.

“So the demons who love to swing between great joy and sorrow can also be this tame!”

Opposite her, Black Tortoise True Monarch held a chess piece, contemplating, and said, “These demons left in the Mystic Realm are separated from the true Demon Realm inhabitants by thousands of years. Moreover, the Hidden Earth Lineage’s former reliance fell in that great battle, so if they don’t become a bit more compliant, how could they survive?”

When that person was mentioned, Zhu Que True Monarch, who was previously slightly disdainful, revealed a hint of genuine emotion.

Black Tortoise True Monarch lifted his head, “Speaking of which, wasn’t that battle a collaboration between you and him?”

Zhu Que True Monarch silently nodded.

Black Tortoise True Monarch, knowing some inside information, could understand his fellow disciple’s reaction.

That person was incredibly brilliant, once hailed as the most powerful in the history of the Void Refining Stage!

Had they one day broken through the Integration Realm, they would undoubtedly become the top existence in the Mystic Realm.

Such a being, if of the Human Clan, would have been fine, but they were of the Demon Race.

The Youxuan Continent could not tolerate him!

The continent’s overlord hinted in secret, and Venerable Tianyuan took advantage, orchestrating a battle that incidentally eliminated another potential threat.

Yet, in a battle of equals, the other was also hailed as the most purely bloodline genius ever in the Sky Phoenix Clan; separating life and death was extremely difficult.

Even with Zhu Que True Monarch, skilled in the same Fire Element Law, assisting, they only managed to reduce Qi Xia Emperor to the mortal realm.

Fifteen hundred years later, the other not only rebirthed through Nirvana, returning to the Mystic Realm but also broke through to the Integration Realm through insights between life and death, advancing ahead of them.

Instead, that one unfortunately perished in a Small World.

Thinking of this, Black Tortoise True Monarch sighed but also held some doubts.

“Is he really dead?”

“Dead, isn’t his tomb left in the Mountain Sea Realm?”

“But the Great Venerate doesn’t allow sect disciples to explore the Land of Fallen Demons. We only hear about it. Besides, no matter how strong Qi Xia is, it doesn’t mean he can kill him, right?”

“Why don’t you ask the Great Venerate yourself?”

“You know how mercurial the Great Venerate is nowadays; how could I dare to ask?”

“Then why are you asking me?”

“Just passing the time, how did this turn into an argument?”

“No more, no more; you’re not even as old as Azure Dragon, but you talk even more than him.”

Zhu Que True Monarch reached out to clear the chessboard with one sweep.

Luckily, Black Tortoise True Monarch, knowing this junior sister’s temperament, had already moved to stop her.

Just as he was about to speak amiably, the inside of the tower suddenly flared with golden light.

The two exchanged a glance, both realizing something.

“Demon Cave mutation, a Divinity Transformation seeking help!”

Zhu Que True Monarch’s expression flared with intensity, “Release the Prohibition, I’m going in!”
