Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2439: Chapter 896: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, Valley Immortal Feng Jiang (Part 2)

When the other party could not see, Chen Mozi, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, suddenly laughed.

Stuck at the second trial?

He had already mastered this trial, so why bother communicating with others?

Outside the mountain, Xinyi Sheng’s face was uncertain, and finally, he left Jiuzhi Mountain.

First, he went to Yingxian Peak, where he learned from the disciples of this mountain that Luo Chen had indeed taken his son to Sealing Immortal Valley and had not returned for many days.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Then he rushed to the Lu Family without stopping.

This time, the Alchemy Saint Hall trial started earlier than expected, catching him off guard and leaving many preparations undone.

But he really couldn’t wait any longer.

Since Chen Mozi was unwilling, he would go find like-minded people.

He thought that Lu Chun, Chu Yu, and others would surely not refuse his proposal.

...

There are high mountains, residing in the Nine Heavens.

Its name is Yanfu, originally in the deep earth, transformed by great powers, and only then can it bask in heaven’s light.

There are three palaces on the mountain, namely Tianming, Tianyuan, and Tianshui, affiliated with the Dark Abyss Sect’s three current great ancestors, Yu Ming, Tianyuan, and Heize.

At this moment in the Tianming Palace, three elderly figures sat dryly for over a decade without moving.

Suddenly, Ancestor Tianyuan smiled and said, ”My disciple has come.”

Outside the hall, Ye Lingtian received permission and stepped inside.

Seeing the three ancestors, he bowed deeply in respect.

”Disciple greets the three ancestors!”

The other two did not speak, and Tianyuan asked distractedly, ”Is there any urgent matter?”

Ye Lingtian replied respectfully, ”No major issues, just reporting that Luo Chen has entered the Mingyuan.”

Yu Ming and Heize slowly opened their eyes. The three exchanged glances, all feeling relieved.

For the past ten years, they had focused all their attention on refining Qinghe Immortal and had no time to attend to internal affairs, not knowing that Luo Chen had already been brought back.

Ye Lingtian continued, ”But Luo Chen seems not concerned with the Pill Saint Inheritance. He doesn’t even care to learn about the Alchemy Saint Hall Trial in advance but is fully focused on solving the infestation of Gu Insects on his son, Luo Lingxi. He has now gone to Sealing Immortal Valley to meet Junior Brother Feng.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ming Ancestor furrowed his brow.

”The plight of Gu Insects?”

Ancestor Tianyuan laughed and said, ”You might not know, but before my avatar fell last time, I went to Mount Sky Cliff and met Luo Chen’s son. I found that he had a powerful Demonic Mind Gu on him, so I casually shared Feng Jiang’s experience with Little Ye.”

Ye Lingtian nodded, ”Thanks to Ancestor’s information on Junior Brother Feng’s situation, I spread the news, successfully bringing Luo Chen and his child to our Mingyuan Sect. This way, our relationship with him can deepen further.”

Yu Ming Ancestor suddenly understood and acknowledged this approach.

However, he was somewhat curious, ”Is that Gu Insect truly so formidable that even your avatar, Junior Brother Tianyuan, couldn’t eradicate it easily?”

Ancestor Tianyuan chuckled, ”I could resolve it, but handling the Gu Insect might also mean eliminating Luo Chen’s son. We can’t afford to make him resent us before he even arrives!”

As he spoke, he glanced at the silent Heize.

The other’s previous actions were somewhat inconsiderate.

Yu Ming seemed thoughtful and murmured, ”It appears that the Demonic Mind Gu is deeply bound to Luo Chen’s son. In our sect, perhaps only Feng Jiang has the means to solve it.”

Standing nearby, Ye Lingtian wondered if Junior Brother Feng truly possessed such great power?

He could resolve issues even the ancestors couldn’t?

But thinking of Junior Brother Feng’s experiences, he inexplicably felt more confident.

Suddenly, the admonishing voice of his master, Tianyuan, came to his ears.

”The matter of Luo Chen’s son is not important. What matters is the Pill Saint Inheritance.”

”Before the three of us went into closed-door cultivation, we tapped into the Fifth Order Spirit Vein of Yanfu Mountain, gathering enough Spirit Mechanism to start the Alchemy Saint Hall Trial early. Time is of the essence; missing this opportunity might mean waiting another hundred years.”

”So on Luo Chen’s end, you need to hurry him up.”

Ye Lingtian nodded in agreement and then respectfully withdrew.

After he left, Ancestor Tianyuan said bluntly, ”He may have joined our Mingyuan Sect now, but his heart might not. If he successfully passes Chu Yan’s trial, I suggest withdrawing Brother Heize’s divine power to avoid leaving a thorn in his heart.”

”Hmph!”

A cold snort; Heize did not think he had done anything wrong.

”That youngster seems to have a wild heart. Without the restraint of Divine Power, do you really think he would willingly come to the Dark Abyss Sect?”

”But...” Ancestor Tianyuan furrowed his brows.

Heize continued, ”Moreover, his relationship with Cangwu Mountain is unclear; your incarnation saw it with their own eyes. With the restraint of my Divine Power, he will not dare have second thoughts.”

Speaking of the matter of Cangwu Mountain, Ancestor Yu Ming also agreed with his junior brother’s opinion.

Ancestor Tianyuan felt helpless, ”For the specific situation, let’s wait until we’ve dealt with the Qinghe Immortal and spoken with Luo Chen! However, necessary appeasement is still warranted, in my opinion. Otherwise, if he is deeply entangled with Cangwu Mountain, we wouldn’t dare consume any pills he refines in the future!”

Yu Ming suddenly asked, ”Is that one from Cangwu Mountain really so formidable?”

This time, it was Tianyuan’s turn to fall into silence.

His incarnation had self-destructed on the spot, and being too far away, it was impossible to transmit specific information back.

Thus, he didn’t deeply feel the prowess of the master of Cangwu Mountain.

But to make one’s own incarnation so desperate as to self-destruct, it must indeed be extraordinarily powerful.

In the silence, Heize said eerily, ”The matter with the North Sea Primordial Demon Sect is full of doubts. I absolutely don’t believe that just the Sea Emperor Whale and the Great Sage Beili could have annihilated the two friends of Soul Refining and Yuan Mo; there must be outsiders involved!”

In today’s Mountain Sea Realm, who could be the ”outsider” that could destroy a sect?

The fallen Di Tian is impossible, and the captured Qinghe Immortal doesn’t have the capability.

The one from the South Border is trapped in the Gate of Life and Death, and another has lost control altogether.

Over in the West Desert, due to the Buddhist Sect’s influence, their understanding is shallow, but those bald monks likely wouldn’t do such things.

Previously, they suspected the Tianyuan Daoist Sect was behind this, and from the subsequent move of Tianyuan Daoist Sect deploying troops to the North Sea, it indeed seemed they became the beneficiaries.

But in this whole process, one point cannot go unmentioned.

When Ancestor Heize attacked Cangwu Mountain, its master was absent!

And the return of the counterpart coincidentally matched the timing of the seal release of Beiji Yemo Tian.

Ancestor Tianyuan sighed, ”Forget it, it’s best to avoid provoking Cangwu Mountain in the future.”

Ancestor Yu Ming shared the same sentiment, ”Let the well water not mix with the river, and if we don’t provoke her, surely she won’t dare provoke us.”

In the Eastern Wasteland, with one of the Three Ancient Demons dead and one injured, Cangwu Mountain is a solitary tree providing no shelter and is no longer a concern.

The Dark Abyss Sect can now truly rest easy!

...

In the Mingyuan Sacred Land, there are both splendid Immortal clan scenes and numerous perilous forbidden areas.

The Nether Abyss is one, and the Sealing Immortal Valley is another.

This forbidden area was not naturally formed but has gradually appeared over the past five hundred years.

Within, the earth is cracked, and lava rolls.

Occasionally, resentful souls weep and wolf howls echo, and the Netherworld Water flows ceaselessly.

In the constant tremors, the Immortal Spirit Qi cannot persist.

It seems that this place is perpetually on the brink of collapse.

And all of this is owed to the ”Valley Immortal” sealed within the Sealing Immortal Valley.

In the Sealing Immortal Valley resides the Valley Immortal, whose surname is Feng, and the single name is Jiang.

Luo Chen heard Lingtian City Lord calling him Junior Brother, and even with Alchemy Saint Chu Yan and Lei Daozi in front, he subconsciously thought the other’s realm might not be too high.

Yet he didn’t anticipate that upon their first meeting, the other’s immense Mana Fluctuation surpassed that of the Lingtian City Lord, so terrifying it was.

Without any concealment, wantonly and brazenly, it enveloped the entire Sealing Immortal Valley!

Such incessantly rolling Mana Fluctuation is unbearable for ordinary cultivators; combined with the chaotic conditions of this place, it’s no wonder it became a forbidden area within the Dark Abyss Sect.

With no other choice, Luo Chen first let Luo Lingxi fall into a deep sleep, then shielded her with his Qi Power to avoid letting Luo Lingxi get affected.

But after several days of contact, he vaguely discovered that the other’s wanton release of Mana Fluctuation was not because he was powerful enough, but because he was forced to.

”Valley Immortal Feng Jiang, it seems he is suppressing something?”

Luo Chen thought thus.

At this moment, Feng Jiang, clad in a gray robe, looked at Luo Chen with a violent expression.

”To resolve the Demonic Mind Gu on this little fellow, it’s very simple!”

Simple?

Luo Chen was somewhat caught off guard.
