Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2841 - 1050: Farewell to Luo Chen, Deity Appears in the Frozen Sea (Part 2)

This time, Luo Chen stopped, but did not turn back, only a light voice came through.

"He’s proud of you."

"Is that all?"

There was no response, only a muffled explosion was heard at the original spot, and amidst the flickering sparks, Luo Chen had already disappeared. When he appeared again, it was dozens of miles away.

Such an astonishing escape technique would have certainly elicited a gasp from Qing Lan Fairy on ordinary days.

However, at this moment, the woman in green just stood dumbfounded on the small island, her hair still blown by the sea breeze, her expression forlorn.

...

"Master, you have quite a profound relationship with that woman!"

In the howling gale, Little White’s voice came from beside his ear, sounding somewhat indistinct.

Luo Chen’s expression was calm, but waves rippled in his heart.

His relationship with Fu Qinglan was far more than profound.

Because of her, he came to Zhongzhou, joined the Star Gate, and gained the favor of the Alchemy Saint who gifted him the Tianji Pill, laying the foundation for comprehending the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing. Even the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture" he painstakingly practiced now was a gift from that woman to compensate for the lifespan he had lost.

But precisely because of her, he found himself in the most awkward predicament, unable to take the final step before the God Transformation Realm.

The grudges in between are hard to express in words.

This meeting should be the last between friends; next time, it might be a fight to the death.

Previously acting so alienated was intentional from Luo Chen, to avoid soft-heartedness when the time comes.

"Enough!"

Luo Chen sighed, energized himself, and asked, "Where is the Black King?"

Little White promptly replied, "It should have been injured by that woman just now, and is now fleeing in panic towards the North Sea. I left a soul guide on it, and from the connection, it’s not far from us. With your mystical escape technique, we’ll catch up in at most half an incense stick’s time."

At this point, Little White showed a puzzled expression.

"Master, the Black King has your slave mark on it, and you should still have control over its soul blood, how can you not perceive its location?"

Luo Chen’s expression turned cold, "Didn’t you say it might have been manipulated? The person behind it even covered the slave mark I placed on it, how can I perceive it?"

Little White looked shocked.

She was clearer than anyone about her master’s deep divine soul endowment and his skill in divine soul restrictions.

Even when placing the slave mark on the Black King back in the Early Nascent Soul Stage, the divine soul endowment required to cover the slave mark on the Black King could not be underestimated.

The person behind the scenes seems somewhat terrifying!

Luo Chen’s expression slightly darkened, bringing Little White with him, continually using the Blast Sky Fire Escape.

Across the vast sea, sparks flickered all the way north.

As Little White predicted, less than half an incense stick’s time later, Luo Chen felt a stirring in his heart, and emerged from the void.

His gaze fell upon the sea, faintly seeing a black shadow fleeing unhurriedly.

"Master, the Black King is below!"

"I know."

"Uh... Master, aren’t you going to catch it?"

Luo Chen snorted coldly, "Why catch it now? Since it’s found, bringing it back under my command is a matter of ease. At this moment, I am more curious about who dares to cover my slave mark and forcibly control the Black King, even blocking its memories related to me."

Little White’s eyes lit up, "Master, do you mean?"

"Follow it!"

Luo Chen slowed his speed, trailing behind the Black King from afar, even concealing his own breath.

With eyes slightly narrowed, gazing at the black shadow deep in the sea, pondering some thoughts.

He not only wanted to see who controlled the Black King but also wished to know from where the opponent gathered the courage to order the Black King and a group of Demon Beasts to attack the Tian Nan Continent.

Though the Tian Nan Continent was the weakest piece after Zhongzhou’s collapse, it was nonetheless within Daoist Sect territory.

In this era, with the Five Great Sacred Lands having two extinguished, one sealed, and one closed off, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect remains the strongest force in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Even with the heavy endowment passed down from ancient times, even a Divine Transformation Great Power dares not easily provoke them.

But now, not only Tian Nan Continent, but reports of Demon Beast harassment were coming from both Li Bei and East Yuan Continents, clearly someone is deliberately targeting the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

"Heading north... North Sea... Could it be the two ancient demons rumored in the North Sea?"

At this thought, Luo Chen subconsciously rubbed his sleeve.

The Million Soul-Consuming Banner is right inside!

...

Time swiftly passed.

Chasing the Black King’s trail, Luo Chen spent three months, traversing across Tian Nan and Li Bei continents, night and day.

This long distance brought Luo Chen’s speculations closer to the truth.

If they go further, it will be the North Sea Cultivation World.

"Master, isn’t that Black King fellow tired? It’s injured, yet hasn’t stopped all this long journey."

"You underestimate it. With their desolate beast body combined with their indestructible body, plus swallowing numerous Demon Beasts along the way, its injuries have long since mostly healed."

As the former master of the Black King, Luo Chen knew that fool’s background exceedingly well.

Fu Qinglan progressed rapidly, managing to ascend to Middle Stage Nascent Soul in just a hundred years after parting, but the Black King wasn’t to be underestimated either. Back then, Luo Chen invested countless precious resources on its foundation, exceeding any Demon Beast.

Emperor Liquor to awaken spirit intelligence and fortify the foundation was never in short supply. Blood and flesh resources were always available. Coupled with swallowing the Stone Dragon Remnant Soul, ascending to fourth-order wild beast later, the Black King’s foundation reached the pinnacle.

It’s just that the fellow was lazy, always going to sleep, or else its achievement wouldn’t be merely mid-fourth-order now.

Regarding Fu Qinglan’s strike, in three months’ time, the Black King had sufficient recovery.

Yet it didn’t stop, evidently terrified, eager to return to its current "master."

Seems the new master offers substantial security indeed!

As Luo Chen pondered thus, a bewildered voice broke from beside him.

"Why so much fog?"

Luo Chen’s heart skipped, abruptly snatching Little White.

"Attach to me, don’t fall behind."

Thereupon, Luo Chen bit his fingertip, applying a drop of Blood Essence across his eyes.

In the next instant, blood threads spread, golden light burst forth, red eyes golden pupils emerged again.

Luo Chen gazed outward, the sea, amidst vast fog, faintly revealed special patterns.

"Such high-level array!"

Little White attached to Luo Chen’s back tightened her heart upon hearing.

An array mighty enough to draw praise from a master of arrays implies the danger here.

"In this world, who can set such an array?"

Luo Chen pressed his lips, overturning the previous guess, while another speculation cropped up in his mind.

"Could it be that person?"

He stepped confidently and gracefully appeared in another dense foggy area.

Upon landing, without pausing, Luo Chen tread the void, emerging elsewhere.

Thus, Luo Chen’s form continually flickered.

Until before a cold and chilling frost mist appeared, Luo Chen pointed like a sword, piercing straight ahead.

Puff!

As if breaking through a bubble, heaven and earth suddenly reversed, surrounding mist rolled away.

In a twist of space, Luo Chen appeared across an icy surface.

Raising his view, unexpectedly felt somewhat familiar.

In memory, a scene of an earth-shaking skirmish emerged.

"This is... Ice Extreme Sect?"

At this fleeting thought, Luo Chen’s eyes swiftly turned to the distance.

Far on that icy surface, a dignified, scholarly elder holding a fishing rod was leisurely fishing in the icy sea.

As if sensing Luo Chen’s gaze, that scholarly elder curiously turned his head.

"Eh, can someone truly break through my Fog Concealing Mysterious God Array?"

Surprised, he met Luo Chen’s eyes.

"Young friend, your eyes are immensely powerful!"

Luo Chen deeply breathed in, respectfully saying, "Junior Luo Chen, greets Senior Li!"

"Luo Chen?!"

The scholarly elder muttered this name, his fishing rod shaking.

Instantly.

The icy surface shattered, a massive Black Dragon soared into the sky, crouching upon the ice.

Luo Chen’s gaze fell upon that Black Dragon, calmly saying, "Indeed, it is I, and this dragon is my spiritual pet!"

With these words, the scholarly elder’s eyes narrowed instantly.
