Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2701: Chapter 997: Master Taiyue Forces His Way into Mingyuan

The shock and anger were fleeting, and in an instant, Luo Chen’s expression returned to its usual calm.

Through the brief interaction, he had already discovered that the green slave mark bore certain similarities to the one he had impressed.

Both aimed to plant the seed of enslavement deeply without affecting Di Tu’s cultivation and growth.

In this way, it would neither hinder Di Tu’s cultivation nor future, and it would naturally allow the harvest of a peak Great Demon Emperor or even an Ancient Monster of God Transformation.

And those who could forcibly traverse the Golden Wind Gang Qi to reach here were not ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

Luo Chen’s gaze swept around and finally settled again between Di Tu’s brows.

A leaf-shaped slave mark appeared and disappeared.

"The means of a Divine Transformation Great Power!"

"If I am not mistaken, it should be the work of Chun Yuan, the Great Power once sent by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect to oversee the Eastern Wasteland."

"Now that Chun Yuan is dead, I might be able to unravel the slave mark she left behind!"

In the Battle of Soulbreak Cliff, Luo Chen did not know how Qi Xia Emperor’s injuries were, but the losses suffered by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect were shocking.

Of the Five Elders of Tianyuan, four perished, leaving only the youngest, Liancheng Ancestor, to survive by luck.

Among them, Chun Yuan the Great Power was also unable to leave Soulbreak Cliff alive.

With her passing, the methods she left behind naturally could not retain their peak state.

Especially since this slave mark was not particularly forceful in the first place.

With some expectations, Luo Chen’s eyes shone with golden light, staring intently at Di Tu while also slowly extending his Divine Consciousness, gradually entering the green leaf slave mark.

Breaking the imprint’s prohibition was Luo Chen’s forte.

Over three hundred years, the number of storage rings and magic items with residual imprints he had unlocked was quite numerous.

Therefore, he had his own set of unique insights, both fast and precise.

As he analyzed and peeled away layer by layer, Luo Chen grew increasingly familiar with Chun Yuan’s methods, even detecting a trace of the power of the Origin of Wood’s Law within.

This power silently influenced Di Tu’s Divine Soul.

Once Di Tu achieved success, it would also be the moment of his complete enslavement.

"A truly subtle infiltration!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Luo Chen closed his sore, swollen eyes, lightly pressing his temples with his fingers, feeling reassured.

As of now, he still couldn’t unravel this slave mark.

It was not that Chun Yuan the Great Power’s methods were so superior, but the soul prohibition constituting this slave mark was too solid!

Even just a thread of Divine Soul Power, if extremely condensed, was enough to withstand the repeated assaults of Luo Chen’s vast Divine Consciousness.

Even if not handled properly, it could easily awaken Di Tu abruptly, interrupting his process of absorbing his father Di Tian’s Gold Origin.

"Time!"

Luo Chen quickly derived the best method to break it.

With Chun Yuan dead, the slave mark she left behind was gradually weakening over time, needing nothing on his part for it to completely dissipate.

Of course, that way Di Tu could regain his freedom as well.

What Luo Chen needed to do was, at the right moment, to re-imprint his own slave mark as the old one was dissipating.

After giving a deep glance at the slumbering golden giant tiger, Luo Chen turned and left.

...

When Luo Chen returned to the Flying Boat, Hao Ranzi and Yu Jiaolong, who had been worried for three days, finally let go of their worries.

In just three days, without any news, they truly feared something had happened to Luo Chen.

Even though they had now achieved the Nascent Soul Realm, they knew the vast difference that could exist among those in the same realm the longer they stayed.

Currently, they were still in a weakened state, and absent Luo Chen’s protection, their actions would be incredibly difficult whether in the present or future.

Therefore, they were the ones who most did not wish for anything to happen to Luo Chen.

Seeing Luo Chen return, his expression slightly weary, they wanted to inquire but ultimately chose not to, understandingly keeping silent.

Since he didn’t want to speak, they dared not ask arbitrarily.

The Flying Boat circled past the Bikong Domain and set off once more.

Luo Chen closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

The vast Main Soul lay entrenched at the center.

Eight powerful soul splits surrounded it in all directions.

After the confrontation with Chun Yuan the Great Power’s residual soul mark, he had gained insights.

He recognized the current gap between himself and a Divine Transformation Great Power regarding Divine Soul.

It was not about quantity, but quality!

The encounter at Soulbreak Cliff was the second greatest fortuitous encounter in Luo Chen’s lifetime, second only to the Beihai Fallen Demon Land.

In terms of immediate gains, the rapid swell of his Divine Soul Endowment gave a more impressive feeling than the extensive, enduring influence of the massive gains from the Land of Fallen Demons.

Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Endowment, after years of nurturing, already far exceeded that of the same order.

After absorbing a large quantity of Soul Stones at Soulbreak Cliff, it expanded by more than tenfold!

Luo Chen once believed his Divine Soul Endowment could rival that of an ordinary Divine Transformation Great Power.

But considering present circumstances, it still fell short.

This gap was evident in the quality.

"Is it the difference between the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit?"

Luo Chen murmured to himself, his thoughts drifting back shortly ago.

In the West Desert, he had a simple confrontation with Master Xuan Du, who had yet to break through.

It was a collision on the level of Divine Consciousness!

At that time, Master Xuan Du’s Divine Soul Endowment was clearly far less than his, yet their clash ended in a draw.

Master Xuan Du couldn’t do anything to him, and Luo Chen couldn’t shake Xuan Du either.

And Xuan Du’s reliance was precisely on the prematurely condensed Primordial Spirit.

"The Divine Soul is ethereal and unreliable, long residing in the Sea of Consciousness as a shelter. Once fully merged with the Nascent Soul, it is equivalent to having the most perfect parasitic form."

"If that is the case, then the notion of dealing with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect might not be that easy."

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect still had Divine Transformation Great Powers overseeing!
