Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2691: Chapter 993: Xuan Du Preaches the Dao, Third Ascent to Cangwu (Part 2)

In one battle, as many as twenty high monks died directly at his hands, including the leader of the Tuluo Crowd, a powerful figure from Mosen.

The name ”Three-headed Demon Luo” gradually spread across this land in the years that followed.

But at present, its impact was not yet so significant, as everyone’s attention was focused on the Hanging Temple.

The Glazed Pure Land descended outside the Cui Lan Screen!

Newly promoted Arhat Master Xuan Du was facing his senior brother Mahakala, intending to seal the gate!

...

”Can he succeed?”

Qing Shuang, who was channeling the power of the Peacock Buddha Mother statue to activate the teleportation formation little by little, paused slightly when she heard the inquiry from behind.

”Do you want him to succeed?”

”If not successful, then it will be a noble sacrifice.” Luo Chen sighed, ”If I didn’t see it wrong at the time, Xuan Du’s realm is unstable, and he only has the power for one battle. If he fails, he will perish completely.”

Qing Shuang’s eyelashes quivered lightly, ”So?”

Luo Chen shrugged, ”So naturally, I hope he succeeds, as we indirectly caused such a big trouble for Mahakala. If Xuan Du fails, Mahakala might come after us in the future.”

Qing Shuang replied blandly, ”I’m not afraid.”

She leaned against Cangwu Mountain, being a Holy Land herself, she truly wasn’t afraid of Mahakala.

Luo Chen remarked helplessly, ”You’re not afraid, but I am! He’s a Divine Transformation Great Power, if he really comes knocking, what should I do? Plus, you and I now share a life-and-death bond, couldn’t you wish something good for me?”

Qing Shuang’s lips curved slightly into a pretty arc, ”After we rescue my sister, I will ask her to unravel the Life and Death Gu.”

Luo Chen feigned indifference as he said, ”You can let her try! Although the Life and Death Gu is only Fourth Order, once bound, unless you and I ascend to the God Transformation Realm, it won’t be undone.”

Facing this statement, Qing Shuang fell into silence.

The temple, originally cold and quiet, became increasingly silent, with only the sound of the Peacock Buddha statue slowly turning echoing.

Suddenly.

”Are you afraid of my sister?”

Luo Chen chuckled, ”Look at what you’re saying, who in the world wouldn’t fear the Qi Xia Emperor?”

Qing Shuang placed her hand on her chest, coldly stating, ”At the time in the Sand Trap Valley Cave Mansion, we seemed in a fish-die or break-net situation, but in truth I could only severely injure you, yet you could destroy my heart. The Nether Soul Pearl is empowered by the physical body, once I perish, my Divine Soul would be like a Remnant Candle in the wind. In that situation, you could have killed me, but you didn’t, instead you proposed numerous seemingly harsh yet mutually beneficial terms, you were cautious of my sister!”

This time, it was Luo Chen’s turn for silence.

Because Qing Shuang was not wrong.

Seeing the Qi Xia Emperor willing to risk herself to storm the Soulbreak Cliff to save Qing Shuang, Qing Shuang is extremely important to the Qi Xia Emperor, not merely for appearances.

Not knowing if the Qi Xia Emperor is still alive, he wouldn’t dare kill Qing Shuang.

Having witnessed firsthand the Qi Xia Emperor’s destruction of the Mingyuan Sect in that battle, Luo Chen had long ago developed a deep-seated belief that this demon was unbeatable.

He didn’t want to provoke such an enemy.

And Qing Shuang, nearly driven mad at the time, placed him in danger at every turn.

Only by reaching an agreement under mutual damage could a life-and-death bond be established. Thus, even if the Qi Xia Emperor is still alive, she wouldn’t kill him for his betrayal during the Soulbreak Cliff ordeal.

Qing Shuang said no more to Luo Chen’s silence.

She just looked deeply at Luo Chen and then activated the teleportation formation.

As Liuguang trembled, the two figures stepped into it silently and vanished instantly.

...

Eastern Wasteland!

Cangwu Mountain!

Once the Yu Race Sacred Land, now the Million Mountains’ sole Demon Clan Holy Land.

But contrary to what might be imagined, after these ten years, it was increasingly desolate and lonely.

No longer in the sky could one see the scene of flocks of birds soaring.

Among the mountains, the vegetation was yellowing and withering, as if life itself was being drawn away.

Yet despite this, the three towering palaces still stood tall.

Suddenly!

A beam of light shot up from the location of Zhukong Hall.

Several powerful breaths sensed this and cast their Divine Consciousness to it.

”Has the Day Sky Palace Master returned?”

Each silhouette left their cave mansion, flying towards Zhukong Hall, but upon arrival, they were blocked outside by a powerful array, forced to quietly wait.

Deep below.

A wisp of bluish smoke rose above the large teleportation formation.

Luo Chen looked puzzled at the ground.

”Why is this corner destroyed?”

Qing Shuang descended from the high platform, explaining as she walked, ”When Xuan Du sent us away, the Buddha Mother Temple’s teleportation location had already been exposed. To prevent upheaval, it was best to first interrupt the teleportation formations on both ends.”

Saying so, she turned her gaze back to Luo Chen.

”I learned this from you.”

Luo Chen was rendered speechless. What the other party was referring to was clearly his actions at the North Sea teleportation point.

To this day, a corner of the North Sea teleportation array was still stored in his bag.

However, judging by how the Qi Xia Emperor returned to Cangwu Mountain later, it is estimated that the North Sea teleportation array had already been repaired.

Unexpectedly, the other party still remembered this matter.

He gave an awkward smile, stepped down from the high platform, and walked outside.

The two walked out one after another, a scene reminiscent of when Qing Shuang ”invited” Luo Chen back to Cangwu Mountain.

Yet, under these circumstances, things were no longer the same.

Soon, they arrived above Zhukong Hall.

The array of the great hall opened, and a figure flew straight in.

”Qing Shuang, I knew you were still alive!”

Upon hearing this voice, Qing Shuang couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

”You Quan...”

She hadn’t had the chance to greet him when You Quan saw the man standing to the side and exclaimed.

”Luo Chen!”

Immediately, You Quan erupted in anger.

”Take him down!”

A figure transformed into a thunderbolt, breaking through the air from outside the hall.

Luo Chen frowned, raised his hand, and pushed out a massive hand seal.

In utter silence, the thunderbolt came as quickly as it went.

You Quan was stunned, staring at Luo Chen in disbelief.

It wasn’t until this moment that Qing Shuang finally spoke, ”You Quan, hold your hand.”

You Quan said hatefully, ”Such a duplicitous scoundrel! Even if he weren’t in Cangwu Mountain, I’d find an opportunity to kill him, let alone when he’s right before me now.”

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, ”A duplicitous scoundrel? What do you mean by that?”

You Quan sneered coldly, ”At Soulbreak Cliff, didn’t you switch sides to deal with Lord Yuan Jun and Qing Shuang? Do you think the world doesn’t know?”

”Where did this news come from?”

The one asking this question wasn’t Luo Chen, but rather Qing Shuang.

Facing the somewhat hopeful gaze of Qing Shuang, You Quan took a deep breath and said, ”This came from the mouth of the Liancheng Master of Central Continent’s Tianyuan Daoist Sect, and the news has already spread across the entire Eastern Wasteland.”

With these words, Qing Shuang’s face immediately turned pale.

If Liancheng were still alive, then what about her own sister...

But before she could think further, You Quan hurriedly relayed a piece of good news.

”Lord Yuan Jun returned years ago, so you needn’t worry.”

Qing Shuang turned from sorrow to joy, without hesitation, rushing out of Zhukong Hall and flying in the direction of Tongxuan Hall.

Inside the hall, upon hearing the news that Qi Xia Emperor had returned, Luo Chen’s face slightly changed.

Seeing You Quan still eyeing him fiercely, Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, ”The situation is quite complicated, and it’s hard to explain in a short time. In short, I have my hardships and misunderstandings. Why must Master You Quan be so aggressive?”

”Hardships? Misunderstandings? Being aggressive!” You Quan sneered with a look of coldness, ”Since it’s hard to explain in a short time, then stay and explain yourself clearly!”

As he said this, several figures appeared one after another at the door of Zhukong Hall.

There was the familiar He Qingzi, as well as several unfamiliar Nascent Soul demon cultivators.

As the sound of heavy footsteps echoed, an angry Lei Yu also walked in.

It was just him whom Luo Chen had sent flying with a single palm.

Lei Yu had never expected that, instead of succeeding with his sudden attack, he was routed instead. This was absolutely unacceptable for someone as prideful as him.

Moreover, it was Luo Chen!

Lei Yu glared at Luo Chen, his aura swelling, lightning flickering all around, looking as if he was ready to devour someone.

Faced with encirclement by formidable foes, Luo Chen did not appear particularly nervous. He sighed and said, ”If things were truly as you think, why would I return together with Qing Shuang Palace Lord?”

You Quan was stunned.

At this moment, a powerful divine perception descended from the void.

All the demon cultivators knelt down together.

”Greetings, Lord Yuan Jun!”

Luo Chen’s expression slightly changed as he bowed, ”Greetings, Lord Yuan Jun.”

The divine perception fixed on Luo Chen, only vanishing after a moment.

In just that short span, cold sweat had gathered on Luo Chen’s forehead.

For someone accomplished in body refinement, this was utterly unimaginable, which speaks to the immense pressure brought by Qi Xia Emperor.

After Qi Xia’s divine perception left, You Quan seemed to have received instructions and looked at Luo Chen with a complex expression.

”Come with me then!”
