Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2362: Chapter 867: On the Eve of the Expedition, Tao Wen Comes to Join

”Senior Brother, I have received the edict for war!”

With an excited voice, True Master Shenhuo hurriedly walked in from outside.

He was holding a black scroll in his hand, his face full of joy.

”Senior Brother, we can return to the Five Elements Realm!”

However, this excitement faded away inexplicably when he encountered the ominous array.

Senior Brother Shenyuan was still cultivating in seclusion and not seeing anyone.

True Master Shenhuo felt somewhat displeased; his senior brother had been like this ever since their journey to the Million Mountains.

It was as if he no longer cared about anything.

When leaving home, he stood by idly; when Senior Brother Jin Ling’s body fell into Luo Chen’s hands, he talked without taking action; and now, even when it’s time to return to their homeland, he remained indifferent.

Does he still care about the Five Elements Divine Sect at all?

As True Master Shenhuo reminisced about the past, filled with resentment and injustice, a hoarse voice came from inside the room.

”Go ahead with it, and when the time comes, I will take action.”

True Master Shenhuo was stunned, then overjoyed.

With those words, it was enough!

Unlike other empty great territories, the Six Realms of the Far East, including the Five Elements Divine Sect, were still occupied by a large number of demon beasts.

Relying solely on himself, and the current Five Elements Divine Sect, it was difficult to forcefully reclaim it.

But if his senior brother was willing to take action, then everything would be fine!

After all, his senior brother was a great cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul!

True Master Shenhuo bowed and saluted, then took the edict and walked out.

Outside, his young grand-disciple Ran Feng was already waiting to meet him.

”Master Ancestor, has there been a response from the Supreme Elder?”

True Master Shenhuo laughed heartily, ”There has indeed been a response; after all, he is the heaven of our Five Elements Divine Sect.”

After laughing, True Master Shenhuo exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi.

”But we cannot remain idle; opening war has never been an easy task and requires extensive preparatory work.”

Ran Feng nodded, ”I understand that, repairing magic items, organizing sect disciples, and it’s best to widely invite allies for a collective campaign!”

”As long as you understand, I will draft some lists, and you can visit each one individually.” True Master Shenhuo’s thoughts turned over, and he recalled several sects that had relatively good relations with the Five Elements Divine Sect.

The first, of course, is Mount Sky Cliff!

Although Old Ghost Mo Tian’s strength was average, his means of self-preservation were indeed impressive, surviving through numerous battles without a Lifebound Magic Artifact.

If they could get his help, it would save a lot of effort.

Especially since the opponent’s sect’s old territory, the Mount Sky Realm, was specially ceded by the demon clan before the negotiation on Biyou Mountain as a buffer zone.

The demon beasts there were few in number, so it should be easy to reclaim the old territory.

Old Ghost Mo Tian should not refuse the invitation of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Additionally, Tiandu Sect, Hundred Beasts Sect, Seven Cave Mountain, White Deer Cave, Yu Ding Sword Sect, and Shen Fu Sect could also be invited—it’s mutually beneficial!

Oh no, Shen Fu Sect must be excluded first; Elder Fu from that old guy is too close to Alchemy Sect Luo Chen.

Beyond this, thoughts raced in True Master Shenhuo’s mind, and he made another decision.

”Issue a Recruitment Order, widely inviting all forces below the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect to join the Five Elements Divine Sect in attacking the Five Elements Realm.”

”Once the Five Elements Realm is reclaimed, spirit land can be distributed at discretion based on credits!”

Ran Feng was not surprised; this is also a conventional process of preparing for open war.

Relying on the strength of one sect alone to quell the demon chaos would cause too great losses.

If they could harness those small to medium-sized forces, many casualties could be spared.

This was the best leverage for the Five Elements Divine Sect, which had seen its strength greatly decline.

After gathering the sect disciples, True Master Shenhuo quickly assigned their respective tasks.

He ultimately decided to personally take on the task of visiting the Nascent Soul True Masters.

Negotiating with small to medium-sized forces was left to Ran Feng, Qi Emei, and other Golden Core cultivators.

After making all arrangements, True Master Shenhuo hurried out of the base to visit the major Nascent Soul True Masters.

The first stop was Mount Sky Cliff, which was the nearest.

After half a day of negotiations, a series of cooperative conditions were reached, and only then did True Master Shenhuo leave satisfied, heading to the next destination.

About half a month later, he returned to the sect’s base, slightly fatigued.

Walking on the narrow mountain path, True Master Shenhuo recalled this half-month of visitation experiences with deep emotion.

Some on the list of potential allies he personally drafted agreed to his invitation, like Mount Sky Cliff, Seven Cave Mountain, Hundred Beasts Sect, White Deer Cave.

But some refused the invitation.

”Tiandu Sect suffered great losses and has no heart to continue the war, which is understandable.”

”But how dare Lin Qingxuan of Yu Ding Sword Sect be so arrogant as to refuse to see me outright?”

”Could it be because he is wary of Alchemy Sect Luo Chen?”

True Master Shenhuo was quite puzzled.

In his view, Lin Qingxuan and Luo Chen’s relationship wasn’t that deep!

Moreover, Yu Ding Sword Sect’s former territory, the Yu Ding Realm, had become a ghost realm, and with only a handful of people in Yu Ding Sword Sect, it was impossible to reclaim the Yu Ding Realm.

Does Lin Qingxuan not want to leverage external power?

This doubt remained unanswered for now.

However, after meeting Ran Feng, he was both shocked and furious upon hearing about another matter that the latter spoke of with concern.

”Only a mere five Golden Core great sects are willing to join us in reclaiming the Five Elements Realm?”

Ran Feng nodded, even saying, ”Among these five, four were originally our sect’s vassals, and after the great war, there are only a few hundred cultivators left, which can’t provide much support.”

”How could this be? When did our sect’s influence fall to such depths?” True Master Shenhuo could hardly believe it.

The female cultivator Qi Emei hesitated for a moment and gently said, ”Perhaps it’s because of the Luo Tian Sect?”
