Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1748: Chapter 643: Taiping Fortress, Overturning Sea Demon Flood Dragon

As the vehicle of the successive mountain lords of Hundred Craft Mountain, the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot is not just seemingly luxurious and grand.

It inherently possesses many functions.

Flight is the most basic, yet also the most prominent function.

There are achievements in both offense and defense, but they require a large group of people to operate, which is a bit awkward for Luo Chen.

However, the ”listening” function of this luxurious cloud chariot is quite suitable at the moment.

Relying on the Water Mirror and Jade Reed, Luo Chen indeed learned quite a bit of secrets from these three people’s conversations during his journey.

They all hail from Zhongzhou.

Though they address each other as master siblings, they do not share the same teacher but come from three clans.

They are Liu, Wu, and Guan.

According to them, the newly risen True Master Longyuan at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering is not a rootless Rogue Cultivator, but from the Liu family in Zhongzhou where Chang Feng Zi belongs.

The reason the three of them traveled from Zhongzhou to the North Sea is to emulate True Master Longyuan, obtain the Nine-star Demon Hunter qualification at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, and thereby acquire Nascent Soul resources.

Apart from some concerns from Chang Feng Zi, the other two are quite confident, as if the Nine-star Demon Hunter qualification is within their grasp.

In their words, they are full of arrogance, as if the North Sea is some impoverished remote area.

Luo Chen does not know where their confidence comes from; though Zhongzhou is rich in talented people, the North Sea is also renowned for its abundant resources and numerous strong entities, where does their sense of superiority come from?

Luo Chen decided not to pay further attention to this.

He spent the remaining travel time entirely focused on adjusting his own state.

Though this journey is merely to test the sword and the opponents are just Demon Beasts, he couldn’t be careless.

Any enemy should be treated seriously!

Otherwise, one can quickly end up in trouble.

Moreover, these Demon Beasts are not ignorant fools; they are survivors from the battle that destroyed the Divine Transformation Holy Land Yuan Mo Sect, mighty entities of the Demon Clan!

...

The Cloud Chariot continued forward, passing through the Huanyang Sea Area, Quyang Sea Area, and finally reached the First Defense Line Liuyang Sea Area.

In front of the massive stone fortress, the Liuyu Feiyun Chariot slowly descended.

Through the Water Mirror, Luo Chen observed the bustling crowd outside the fortress, feeling a murderous and restless ambiance.

As soon as they landed, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator greeted them.

”Junior Zeng Xiong greets the four seniors!”

Luo Chen retracted the Cloud Chariot, and with a swish of his sleeve, moved forward.

”Take us to see the person in charge here, Shentu Daoist!”

While speaking, he revealed his brand new Five-star Demon Hunter Waist Badge.

Upon seeing the star level on the badge, Chang Feng Zi and the other two had varied expressions.

Chang Feng Zi was a bit puzzled; he thought that this Qingyang Zi with a Dao name was very powerful, so why was his Demon Hunter star rank only five?

Wu Tao and Guan Xiaoping exchanged glances and then slightly curled their lips.

In their view, at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering, a cultivator’s strength is linked to their Demon Hunter star rank.

Below seven-star level, they are nothing much, merely ordinary Rogue Cultivators.

Before, senior brother Chang Feng Zi asked them to show respect to Luo Chen, but now it seemed unnecessary.

After checking Luo Chen’s badge, Zeng Xiong’s gaze fell on the three behind him.

”To prevent Demon Clan enemies skilled in transformation from infiltrating Taiping Fortress, any newcomers must present their Identity Tokens, I ask for your understanding, seniors.”

Luo Chen turned around, looked at the three, signaling them to cooperate.

Chang Feng Zi responded with an ”um,” displaying his waist tag and infusing it with qi power, proving he was the genuine holder.

The three white stars flickered slightly.

Wu Tao and Guan Xiaoping did the same, their expressions becoming a bit unnatural upon the three-star flicker.

Perhaps to them, such a low star rank is somewhat shameful!

Especially under Luo Chen’s gaze.

Luo Chen felt indifferent; it was merely the reformation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering. Otherwise, anyone joining the Demon Hunter Bureau starts at one star and gradually rises.

Three stars is actually quite decent.

The guard cultivator Zeng Xiong upon seeing this couldn’t help but his eyes shine.

Now, with four Golden Core Ascendant Masters arriving, the pressure to clear Demon Beasts of the Oblivion Sea will be greatly reduced.

”This way, seniors!”

Luo Chen nodded and strode forward.

The three behind him followed closely, their eyes examining the fortress scenery.

Luo Chen did the same, occasionally asking Zeng Xiong about the situation at Taiping Fortress.

”I observe this fortress, bloodstained and ominous, why such a peaceful name?”

”The name Taiping which means peace was given by Feng Independent Cultivator when he was lucid years ago, hoping this place would stand against Demon Clan invasion, ensuring peace for the Human Clan in the rear.”

”How many people are stationed here usually?”

”Junior hasn’t learned the specifics, but typically at least three thousand people are stationed here! Recently, Blood Independent Cultivator issued an order and the number of cultivators has multiplied, with tens of thousands coming and going. However, most have gone towards the Oblivion Sea side, leaving few here.”

”How many Golden Core period cultivators guard the two lines of defense behind us, and what about here?”

”Same, three, but Lord Dao Lan is an exception; he sharpens his blade against the Demon Clan and is stationed here all year, thus it counts as four.”

”Recently, how many Golden Core cultivators have arrived here?”

”The exact number isn’t clear; some seniors returned early after completing their Demon Beast hunting tasks. But as far as I know, around forty to fifty people might be here.”

”So many? That’s half the Golden Core cultivators at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering.”

”It’s not entirely accurate, not all are senior Golden Core period cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering; some hail from the three clans of Wu Zhong Valley.”
