Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3159 - 1188: Three Forms Combined, Corpse Immortal’s Finger

”All beings decay, only bones endure

Corpse wax sacrificed, Qi-Blood fuel the fire

Flesh as offering, bones as the Order

All Things Return to Ruins, Immortal Bone bears eternal witness”

On the endless expanse, a long procession of people moved forward slowly.

They wore colorful clothing, and had different appearances and attire, yet all uniformly kneeled and bowed, chanting the same hymns.

The line seemed endless, but in someone’s eyes, the endpoint was visible.

At the end of the procession stood a towering palace of white bones!

It stood at the end of a sea of bones and mountains, enveloped in a layer of black phosphorescent mist.

The main materials used in constructing the palace were neither ordinary stones nor giant logs, but countless bones, either pale or black.

The black and white color scheme was too conspicuous on this land, coupled with the magnificent and towering architecture, it resembled a dormant giant beast standing on the earth.

Luo Chen gazed solemnly into the distance, while Yuan Qingzang looked at the long procession below in astonishment.

”Those are the people of Chonghai Tower!”

”How could the martial artists of Snow Rock Gorge be here?”

”Oh, that elderly woman in the red lavish dress, could she be the Elder of Red Lotus Department!”

...

As the ruler of Sky Dome Tower Forest, Yuan Qingzang, although not completely knowledgeable about the entire Returning Ruins, knew a bit about the nearby powers.

Just through some physical traits or special attire, he quickly distinguished from the procession where these people came from.

Upon hearing names like Chonghai Tower and Red Lotus Department, Luo Chen matched them with his memories.

Gu Xun had traveled the Returning Ruins in the past, not wandering aimlessly.

He deliberately avoided dangerous places like Corpse Remains Immortal Domain and Sky Wind Department, visiting places that were not particularly strong and somewhat friendly to the Human Clan.

Among these were Chonghai Tower, Snow Rock Gorge, and Red Lotus Department.

The leaders of these factions mostly reached the Human Immortal Realm, and in terms of strength, might not surpass Sky Dome Tower Forest.

But still, they were formidable in their own right!

How could they allow their subordinate citizens to come to Corpse Remains Immortal Domain? And chant slogans seemingly of faith and worship?

Most importantly, Yuan Qingzang had previously mentioned that the vast Corpse Remains Immortal Domain only had one true master dwelling here—”Corpse”!

Could something have changed here?

Luo Chen’s mind stirred, and before Yuan Qingzang could speak, he had already descended into the procession.

With a large hand, he conjured five dragons, forcibly pulling out an elderly woman who was kneeling.

”Luo Chen, what are you doing?”

”Nothing, just asking a few things.”

Luo Chen smiled, his gaze falling on the elderly woman.

Her skin was like decayed wood, eyes like a lantern’s flame, her life’s vitality rapidly fading.

Yet judging by her appearance, she must have been a beauty in her youth.

Especially with that dim red lotus emblem between her brows, she appeared even more eerie.

According to Yuan Qingzang’s previous remarks, this woman very likely was an Elder of the Red Lotus Department, possessing Leakless Realm-level strength.

This sort of person was perfect for questioning.

”What’s your name?”

The elderly woman stared blankly.

”What are you doing here?”

She remained silent.

Luo Chen furrowed his brow, instinctively glancing at the distance before retracting his gaze.

Subsequently, his gaze grew deeper, and a word reverberated softly from his mouth.

”Zha!”

This was a word spirit he favored, said to be the first word to awaken all beings at the universe’s inception in Taoist mythology, holding peculiar efficacy in dispelling mind-constraining Secret Techniques.

Moreover, as Luo Chen uttered the gentle word, a thunderous roar accompanied it.

It was the Soul-shaking Thunder Sound!

Indeed!

Accompanying Luo Chen’s word, which reverberated in the old woman’s ear like a deep chime, her originally bewildered eyes gradually regained a touch of brilliance.

But within that brilliance, was an uncontainable struggle and descent.

Luo Chen knew the opportunity was fleeting, and promptly employed Qi Sound Resonance and Divine Will Confusion Technique to coax out the truth.

”Name?”

”Hong Ye.”

”What are you doing here?”

”Worshiping the Holy Hall, offering to the Corpse Immortal.”

”Corpse Immortal? Is it the one known as Corpse?”

”He is no longer an ordinary corpse, but a Corpse Immortal who has attained Dao, all beings must revere and offer incense.”

”Is the Corpse still in the Holy Hall?”

”He exists yet doesn’t, the Corpse Immortal is eternal, residing in infinite space-time.”

...

Hearing these words, Luo Chen’s brow furrowed deeply.

As did Yuan Qingzang beside him, indescribably appalled.

What is attesting Dao to become Immortal?

What is existing yet not existing?

What is eternal supposed to mean?

Yuan Qingzang recalled the vast renown of Corpse in the past and instinctively said, ”Luo Chen, how about we leave?”

Luo Chen glanced at him, choosing to ignore, intending to continue his questions to Hong Ye.

But by now, the struggle within her eyes grew increasingly intense.

A strong Consciousness was interfering with Luo Chen’s Sound Wave Soul Capturing Skill.

In the moment she was about to sink into fervent bewilderment, a rare clarity appeared in Hong Ye’s eyes.

She pointed a finger at her own forehead.

A dim red lotus floated out.

”Elder, please inform the Red Lotus Ancestor, the Red Lotus Department has been destroyed by the Corpse, avenge us!”

Once spoken, the clarity vanished rapidly, replaced by the initial fervent determination.

Without looking at Luo Chen, she returned to the procession, continuing her worship toward the distant White Bone Holy Hall.

A dim red lotus hung in front.

Luo Chen remained silent, extending a hand to let it fall into his palm.

Beside him, Yuan Qingzang sighed.

”Why seek such trouble.”

”If this occurred to your Three Thousand Tower Forests’ people, would it still be trouble?”
