Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2867 - 1060: Transmitting Truth Hall Master, Commanding the Demon Horde

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the underground palace, as Youquan frowned and hurried to the teleportation formation’s core.

"The Cangwu Mountain array is always hidden, why did it suddenly activate today?"

"Who dared to do such a thing?"

As she descended the last step, the spacious underground palace scene instantly came into view.

However, all she saw was empty space, devoid of any human presence.

Youquan was stunned, almost doubting her own perception.

But when she saw the gradually dissipating light above the teleportation formation, she immediately reacted.

"Someone indeed teleported here, and it’s from the Beihai sub-array, but where is the person?"

She looked around, appearing slightly bewildered.

At the same time, in another void space.

Luo Chen, who had just arrived at Cangwu Mountain, was teleported here. Even though he deliberately did not resist, such a move to teleport someone out of thin air was definitely not something ordinary means could achieve.

Luo Chen’s expression was complex as he looked at the woman standing quietly in the void.

Her figure was still as tall as ever, with long, strong legs, and her originally cold demeanor now seemed even more ethereal.

She just stood there quietly, her face incomparably beautiful like a banished immortal, clearly present in this world, yet as if ready to depart with the wind at any moment.

"You have indeed reached Divine Transformation!"

Qing Shuang looked at Luo Chen calmly, "You said this twice."

Luo Chen smiled wryly; he indeed said it twice.

The first time was a shocked question, the second time was helpless confirmation, the emotions contained within only he could truly understand.

He once regarded Qing Shuang as an imaginary enemy, a benchmark to chase!

When experimenting with some ideas and creating new techniques, he would always subconsciously wonder how they would fare against Qing Shuang?

This was because Luo Chen had once been utterly defeated by Qing Shuang, lacking any defense against her, even the renowned Nascent Soul True Masters he admired were not her match.

He continuously worked hard to improve himself, and eventually caught up with Qing Shuang step by step.

From struggling to injure her to mutual compromise in life-and-death battles, especially after the battle in the Western Desert Buddha Land, where the world listed Demoness Qing Shuang alongside Wuxiang Demon Luo, he once felt a sense of pride.

Over the years, Luo Chen’s strength had increased tremendously.

Whether it was reaching the Ninth Layer of the Nascent Soul, mastering the Million Soul-Consuming Banner, the Blood Jade Three Flames Fan, or achieving finalization in the "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture," each was a means enough to threaten a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator, making him feel he had completely surpassed Qing Shuang.

Until this moment.

Qing Shuang underwent Divine Transformation and once again walked ahead of him.

Luo Chen sighed, maintaining his composure, cupping his hands in salute: "Congratulations!"

But unexpectedly, Qing Shuang looked at him indifferently: "You need not belittle yourself. When you first advanced to Golden Core, I was already at the late stage of Nascent Soul."

Luo Chen was taken aback, his thoughts were seen through by her.

Was it the cause of the Life and Death Gu?

"Now I’ve merely taken a step ahead. You’ll catch up sooner or later, after all, you’ve also condensed your Primordial Spirit, you’re only a step away from Divine Transformation, aren’t you?"

Luo Chen was silent, self-mocking: "It seems I’ve been too attached."

"Did you come back from the North Sea?"

"Yes, I went there for some matters and used Cangwu Mountain’s teleportation formation to save travel time."

"You had time to go to the North Sea, don’t you plan to reclaim your life soul?" Qing Shuang raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn’t understand how Luo Chen could spare the leisure to go to the North Sea.

Concerning Luo Chen’s missing life soul, Qing Shuang was aware of the insider details.

And having experienced breaking through to Divine Transformation, she knew even more how crucial a complete soul is to crossing that step.

Especially for Luo Chen, whose profound background was unparalleled throughout history; as long as his life soul was complete, crossing the final step would be a natural progression.

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air, "I have already made arrangements for this matter, and the day of action is not far off."

At this, he looked at Qing Shuang with a half-smile.

"Being so concerned about me, could it be you want to help me? Now that your realm has greatly increased, and you’re armed with incredibly strong spatial laws, I’m sure you can contend with the older Divine Transformation experts!"

Qing Shuang ignored Luo Chen’s teasing, saying flatly: "Though I haven’t fought them, I think I wouldn’t be inferior."

"Then come help me!" Luo Chen’s spirit rose as he spoke eloquently: "Tianyuan Daoist Sect is ultimately the Holy Land with the deepest heritage in the Mountain Sea Realm. Though on the surface only Liancheng Ancestor remains a Divine Transformation Great Power, I’m afraid they could still manifest some Divine Transformation combat power. I’ve contacted a Divine Transformation expert from the North Sea, if you assist, then this matter would be a sure success."

Qing Shuang glanced at him coldly, "Why should I?"

Why should Qing Shuang help him?

Regarding this question, Luo Chen was full of confidence.

That was naturally due to their life-and-death bond!

However, when this answer reached his lips, upon seeing Qing Shuang’s indifferent gaze, Luo Chen couldn’t voice it out.

If he used this as leverage, not only would it reveal him as petty, but it would also draw her displeasure out of nowhere.

Especially since the Life and Death Gu that Luo Chen had planted initially was only Fourth-Tier, and for the now Divine Transformation Ancient Demon Azure Phoenix, the binding force of this Fourth-Tier Gu Insect was indeed questionable.

Luo Chen gathered his composure, deliberating for a moment.

After a while, he solemnly said: "Helping me is not merely aiding me, but also helping yourselves!"

Qing Shuang was cold by nature, focused on cultivation, but that did not mean she was foolish.

"Your words, half are true, half are lies."

Luo Chen did not deny it. The falsehood was his self-interest, while the truth was indeed for the sake of Cangwu Mountain.

He continued slowly: "A hundred years ago, Qi Xia Emperor aggressively attacked Zhongzhou, causing the land to sink, the Daoist Sect to collapse, with casualties numbering in the billions, forging an indelible blood feud on both sides!"
