Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2596: Chapter 956: Opening the Door to the Realm, Armies at the Border (Part 2)

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”Oh? What do you mean by that?”

Meng Shentong waved his hand earnestly, ”It’s hard to say exactly, but from the fact that he has been planning something for hundreds of years, you can get a glimpse.”

Luo Chen blinked, feeling thoughtful.

Is this the reason why Meng Shentong, regardless of their mutual respect, insisted on bringing Bai Xuanjun along?

Bai Xuanjun of the White Bone Sect is not someone to be trifled with!

Although his realm is only at the sixth layer of Nascent Soul, it’s rumored that his combat strength is very powerful, with a variety of attack methods.

Combined with Meng Shentong’s own strength as a great cultivator, the two of them together could handle most situations.

At this moment, Meng Shentong specifically reminded him, as a way of doing him a favor.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and took over the Messenger Gu, while also pushing a glass of wine forward.

Meng Shentong was taken aback, then grinned and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

After drinking, his face suddenly flushed and then vanished, leaving only one exclamation.

”Good wine!”

The Dieyun Fine Wine that Mingyuan Sacred Land named for tribute, how could it not be a fine wine?

With a shared smile, the two of them left the room and came to the deck.

Everyone had long been in place, Li Tianshi stood at the bow of the boat, his beard and hair fluttering as he gazed at the distant Golden Lion Empire.

”Golden Lion Empire, we’ve arrived!”

...

Golden Lion Empire, the most unique power in the South Border.

As everyone knows, in the Immortal Cultivation World, most major powers are family sects, religious sects, and guilds.

Even the kingdoms and dynasties are mostly mortal organizations digging for spirit root seedlings, and generally they are vassals under a great sect.

But the strength of the Golden Lion Empire far surpasses the imagination of the world.

At its peak, it once had nine Nascent Soul True Masters presiding over it!

Even now, there are five Nascent Soul experts living in the world.

So out of the ordinary, yet the Gate of Life and Death of the Southern Border Sacred Land has ignored it, causing much speculation for a long time.

But they do not know that the Golden Lion Empire is itself just a branch of the Gate of Life and Death.

Just like any ordinary Golden Core forces, they would support a few mortal kingdoms.

It’s just that the Gate of Life and Death had a grander hand.

In a magnificent, grand and imposing imperial palace hall, Luo Chen and others were cordially conversing with a man in emperor’s robes.

”State Preceptor, you’ve come from afar, you must be tired. Why not rest a bit? I shall arrange a welcoming banquet, and tonight, let’s not leave until we’re drunk.”

Li Tianshi smiled, ”The emperor is too courteous.”

The emperor of the Golden Lion Empire respectfully said, ”It’s not being overly courteous, you are all seniors, this is what I should do, please wait a moment.”

With that, he took his leave.

After he left, Meng Shentong frowned and asked, ”By entering the palace in such a high profile manner, aren’t you afraid of alerting the enemy?”

Li Tianshi smiled slightly, confidently, ”We want to lure the snake out of its hole!”

Speaking, he nodded to Granny Hong Ye.

The old woman didn’t waste words, taking out an array disk, and her divine consciousness followed the Golden Lion Emperor.

...

The Golden Lion Emperor left the main hall, moving quickly.

Alone, he passed through layer upon layer of palace buildings, finally arriving before a bronze door.

He took out a token and cast several dao laws.

The bronze door slowly opened.

He stepped in.

After a long time, he arrived outside a great hall.

After hesitating for a moment, he activated the Messenger Gu towards a slightly eerie room.

In that room filled with eerie aura, an elder was attentively fiddling with a Gu urn, a small worm inside joyfully crawling with pincers as sharp as swords.

However, the elder was not very satisfied with this lively appearance.

”This shouldn’t be!”

”The Bean Soldier Gu’s qi power should be introverted, why is it so lively?”

”Did I make a mistake during the refining process?”

While he was in distress, the Messenger Gu suddenly stirred.

He waved his hand, and the door to the Gu Refining Room slowly opened.

The Golden Lion Emperor walked in, respectfully saluting him.

”Grandson pays respects to Ancestor!”

The elder frowned, ”What happened, didn’t I make it clear not to disturb me during the Gu refining?”

The Golden Lion Emperor said solemnly, ”The State Preceptor has returned!”

The elder’s face showed joy, ”Old Li has returned, that’s just perfect, I’ve made a mistake in refining gu and was just looking for him to discuss.”

However, the Golden Lion Emperor’s next words caused his expression to change instantly.

”The State Preceptor has returned with six Nascent Soul experts, each with a profound realm. Even when I used the Emperor’s Treasure Mirror to secretly observe, I couldn’t discern their exact levels. Although Master Li Tian claims they were invited as guests, I fear they come with ill intentions!”

”The Emperor’s Treasure Mirror couldn’t even discern their exact realms?” The old man’s face changed dramatically.

That treasure mirror is at the True Device Level.

Ordinary Nascent Souls can’t hide their realms under its gaze at all.

If even the Emperor’s Treasure Mirror is rendered useless, then either the opponents have incredibly powerful concealing techniques, or their realms are at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, or even Late Stage Nascent Soul levels!

Regardless of which, with a count of six, it’s enough to instill fear.

”What is Master Li Tian planning to do?”

The old man took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the Gu Urn. He couldn’t leave this place at the moment, but he also couldn’t ignore the matters outside.

”Go and invite the Fifth Ancestor and the Third Ancestor to handle this for a while. I’ll join you soon!”

The Golden Lion Emperor felt relieved.

For a mere Golden Core cultivator to face seven Nascent Souls was truly overwhelming.

With the Third Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor stepping in, it would be much better.

After receiving the command, the Golden Lion Emperor respectfully exited, then proceeded to the adjacent rooms, sending out letter poisons one by one.

In a short while, two figures appeared consecutively.

A man and a woman, one old and one young.

The old man was the Third Ancestor, and the young girl was the Fifth Ancestor.

The two exchanged a glance, then left this Secret Realm with the Golden Lion Emperor.

Once the bronze gate opened and closed again, the Fifth Ancestor coquettishly asked, ”Where are those few people now?”

”In the Yangxin Hall!”

”Alright, let’s head there now!”

The three wasted no time and headed straight for the Yangxin Hall.

Soon enough.

The three arrived outside the main hall.

Seeing the vague figures inside, the Fifth Ancestor smiled slightly. Since the changes in the world in the South Border and their retreat into the Yin Yang Realm for secluded cultivation, it had been a while since she had seen any living person.

Now, suddenly seven fellow cultivators had come, and although she didn’t know their purpose, a bit of interaction would improve her mood...

”Something’s not right!”

The Third Ancestor scanned with his Divine Consciousness and immediately sensed something amiss.

The Fifth Ancestor didn’t understand at first, but after her Divine Consciousness swept over, she realized why.

With a palm strike, a windstorm surged through the main hall.

Those seven figures silently turned to dust.

”It’s Puppet Gu!”

Just then, a dull rumbling sound came from beneath the distant ground.

As if a giant was tearing through earth and stone!

”They’re trying to enter the Yin Yang Realm!” the Fifth Ancestor exclaimed, her face filled with rage.

The Third Ancestor had already set off, heading towards the entrance of the Yin Yang Realm.

Flying, he said, ”The Yin Yang Realm has a replica of the Gate of Life and Death. Without a token, it can’t be opened. We still have time. Quickly activate the Imperial Palace Array, and don’t let them invade.”

Meanwhile.

The recently closed bronze gate was emitting a dense Spirit Light.

Hong Ye Granny held the Array Disk, casting Dao Law Methods, as the pointer on the disk kept rotating.

Suddenly!

The pointer stopped, Hong Ye Granny’s gaze sharpened, looking at a certain spot.

”The weak point is here! Everyone strike at once, and it will break.”

But just as she spoke, Master Li Tian negated her plan.

”Our goal is to enter, not to break the door.”

Hong Ye Granny frowned, ”If we don’t break the door, how do we enter? And time is tight. Once those two ancestors from the Golden Lion Empire activate the Imperial Palace Array and trap us, we’ll be caged birds.”

Master Li Tian smiled slightly, his gaze fell on Luo Chen.

”If we don’t break the door, why not just open it?”

In the silence, Luo Chen stepped forward.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he slowly extended his palm, placing it on the point Hong Ye Granny indicated.

The Black Armor vibrated, meridians flowed like dragons.

Vast power surged forth.

”Open!”

With a low shout, Luo Chen pushed forcefully.

To the shock of everyone, the bronze gate, seemingly capable of isolating everything, slowly revealed a slight gap.

Golden Light flashed from the gap.

At the same time, at the boundary line of the Golden Lion Empire’s territory, countless Glints spread across the sky.

The Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance, their army was pressing in!
