Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3141 - 1180: Mastering Nine Layers, Seven Hundred Gods Kill

For the endless universe, the Returning Ruins, existing unknown where, have no concept of time and space.

But for the beings truly living within the Returning Ruins, yet another century of time has drifted by.

Wuyou City!

Once again, it’s the bustling season.

Top martial artists from the Seventy-two Cities have gathered here, some even brought along their families or entourages, or perhaps caravans.

This lively scene, Xiang Fei has witnessed twice before, and now, it’s the third time.

The beautifying effects of Martial Arts Techniques, after all, cannot compare to the nourishing of Immortal Spiritual Energy. Compared to back then, she has aged considerably, her attire no longer glamorous and dazzling, but instead appearing simple and graceful.

In the courtyard of Leaping Dragon Alley, Xiang Fei sits quietly in a chair, listening carefully to the intelligence reported by her subordinates.

”The Nine-layered Immortal Tower has opened; from the Upper Three Rings to the Lower Three Rings, all martial artists have come out.”

”All of them have come out?”

Xiang Fei is somewhat surprised.

Though every century, a large number of martial artists take this opportunity to come out for a bit of recuperation, either to collect herbs for healing or to meet friends and family to relax, there are always some who are infatuated with cultivation and remain inside the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.

Why is the commotion so great this time?

The subordinate nods, equally shocked.

”It’s said that all have come out; the news comes from another Human Immortal Ancestor of the Fang Family, Fang Qingxue. Additionally, the subordinate saw City Lord Xiao Lin on the street.”

”Xiao Lin!”

Xiang Fei utters the name, and in her heart, she has to believe the intelligence.

Though younger in age, he is of the same batch of martial artists who entered the Annihilation Nine Rings, barely considered peers.

Everyone knows him as an undoubted Martial Fool.

If not for significant changes, others couldn’t persuade him away, as he only desires to cultivate in the Annihilation Nine Rings for a lifetime.

Now that he’s come out, it can be imagined that something is changing within the Annihilation Nine Rings.

She isn’t concerned with what changes are occurring.

What she is concerned about is, she has yet to see Luo Chen.

Could it be that in his century of arduous cultivation, he perished within?

”Did you hear any news of Luo Chen coming out?”

”Not heard of his coming out, nor has anyone seen him,” the subordinate shakes his head.

Just as Xiang Fei is disappointed, the subordinate suddenly brings up another piece of news.

”Someone heard at the tavern a conversation from the Fourth Ring’s martial arts grandmasters, discussing something, suspecting that Luo Chen might have broken through.”

Fourth Ring? Breakthrough?

Could it be the Martial Arts Human Immortal Realm?

Xiang Fei’s heart trembles.

Luo Chen entered merely a hundred years ago, and even began cultivating martial arts less than two hundred years ago, could his realm have progressed so greatly?

Despite having witnessed many of Luo Chen’s unbelievable talents, Xiang Fei still finds it hard to believe.

Her expression shifts continuously, and finally says, ”Continue to investigate related intelligence, and notify me immediately of any information about Luo Chen.”

”Understood!”

After the subordinate departs, Xiang Fei lets out a gentle sigh.

She has truly grown old.

Breaking through the Leakless Realm at around three hundred years old, waited a century to barely enter the Annihilation Nine Rings, then returned with regret and accompanied Luo Chen for another hundred years, now, another hundred years have passed.

Her true lifespan has reached an impressive six hundred years!

Approaching the normal lifespan limit of eight hundred years for Leakless Stage martial artists in the Great Destruction Realm, not much time remains.

If she doesn’t see Luo Chen this time, it might become an eternal regret.

Thus, she has come to Wuyou City on her own initiative, hoping to meet Luo Chen.

Even if just for a mere year, even if just a brief moment.

But changes in the world never shift according to the will of small individuals like them.

”Can we meet again in this lifetime?”

...

Three months later.

Yet another message comes from the mouth of her subordinate, even saying this news has spread throughout the entire Yixian City.

The Nine-layered Immortal Tower has closed!

Closed early!

All the scattered chaotic energy outside has completely vanished, all the elder martial artists who came out and the new martial artists who haven’t yet entered are blocked outside.

This news shocks everyone.

Could it be that the Master of Wuyou Realm doesn’t want everyone to go back inside for cultivation?

Among the panic, Fang Qingxue stands up to give a brief explanation.

”The Nine-layered Immortal Tower will still open, but the timing is uncertain, so I hope everyone can wait patiently.”

This explanation lacks a specific timeline, leading to boundless speculation, but at least it serves as an official announcement, barely calming the people’s hearts.

Xiang Fei knows that perhaps this time, she truly won’t get to see Luo Chen.

Everyone else has come out, but he has not been seen, and the Nine-layered Immortal Tower suddenly changed.

It’s highly likely that this change is related to Luo Chen.

She shouldn’t wait any longer.

Xiang Fei, carrying regret, return forlornly to Sanxiang City.

...

Xiang Fei’s thoughts are not wrong; the change in the Nine-layered Immortal Tower is indeed related to Luo Chen!

Three years later.

Within the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, in an extremely concealed location.

Lines cross repeatedly, arrays densely distributed.

If one looks carefully, they will discover that many of the array lines have fractures, leading to a lack of complete connection.

This is the array hub of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower!

Two figures stand on the periphery; one sipping from a gourd, the other holding a dim golden page book, eyes closed and silent.

Suddenly!

A young man in white abruptly opens his eyes and casts a Spiritual Secret towards the dim golden page in his hands.

”Begin!”

In the next instant, the dim golden page bursts into brilliance.

As if sensing, the originally lifeless array lines suddenly flash bright.

Like serpents and pythons filled with spirituality, they begin to flow and connect, occasionally encountering fractures, then flowing to other places.

Moments later, most of the arrays in the Nine-layered Immortal Tower are activated.
