Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2910 - 1074: Reunion with Rotten Stalemate, Reclaiming Life Soul_3

"Did you feel it?" Junior Master Li asked with a smile.

Zhou Fuqiu nodded, filled with curiosity. "What is this? What are you doing?"

Junior Master Li chuckled and stroked his beard, "When you meet Elder Brother Ke, you will understand everything."

Elder Brother Ke?

Zhou Fuqiu’s eyes lit up, "Could it be the legendary Chess Saint Ke Lianshan, the Master?"

Junior Master Li simply hummed in response and continued leading Zhou Fuqiu forward.

Soon, the two arrived at the very center of the wasteland.

There, unbeknownst to Zhou Fuqiu, an ancient dais had been erected, upon which an old man sat cross-legged, allowing the evening breeze to brush against his face.

Seeing this figure, who was said to rival the Alchemy Saint, Zhou Fuqiu bowed deeply, "Disciple Zhou Fuqiu greets Master Ke."

Ke Lianshan carefully scrutinized him before slowly saying, "Very well, you are indeed remarkable. Just entering the Nascent Soul, yet your Qi Power is so robust and solid. Given your age, this is truly rare. It seems Junior Sister Qing Lan has taught you well, without pushing you beyond your limits."

"Thank you, Master, for your praise. My master has indeed cared for me greatly." After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhou Fuqiu couldn’t resist asking, "May I know the reason for your summons?"

Ke Lianshan’s smile faded, and he said slowly, "Beneath our feet lies one of the three treasures of the Daoist Sect, the Lan Ke Chessboard!"

Zhou Fuqiu realized why he had felt that sensation earlier.

Can a single Spiritual Treasure be that formidable?

The elder continued his explanation, leaving Zhou Fuqiu both enlightened and greatly astonished.

"This Spiritual Treasure has suppressed Zhongzhou for nearly four thousand years. Even during times of collapse and damage, it has never lost its essence, capable of commanding a continent’s Spirit Mechanism."

"We are here to harness the power of the Spiritual Treasure and the Array, absorbing Spirit Mechanism, and sensing Zhongzhou."

"At the opportune moment, we will exhaust Heaven and Earth’s Power of Creation, drawing the four mainland regions together, thus reconstructing the Central Continent!"

"Such an endeavor defies the heavens. It requires immense power. Everyone present is gathered for this purpose. To prevent failure, you may stand by, ready to assist in critical moments as a substitute."

After saying this, Ke Lianshan extended his aged, bark-like right hand toward Zhou Fuqiu.

"Before that, I shall take a sliver of your Life Soul to connect you with the Spiritual Treasure, so you can infuse your strength when needed. Would you be willing to contribute to the Sect?"

Taking a sliver of the Life Soul!

This matter would be quite terrifying for ordinary people.

But for the Daoist Sect’s True Disciple, it was commonplace.

Anyone who achieves the Nascent Soul offers a portion of their Life Soul to reside within a Spiritual Treasure.

This is not merely control as outsiders would assume, but a form of protection!

If a Daoist Sect Master goes missing or falls in the Outer World, the Sect receives the corresponding information, and if willing to pay a huge price, can even resurrect the fallen!

When breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, the Daoist Sect Master can request the Sect Master to retrieve the Life Soul, fully charging toward the God Transformation Realm.

Perhaps fearing the young would dread such things, Ke Lianshan spoke kindly, "This matter benefits you too. When Zhongzhou is reassembled, it will trigger vast Spirit Mechanism. I will use it to break through the God Transformation Realm, and through the connection with the Lan Ke Chessboard, you will gain insight and experience. When you break through the Divine Transformation Realm, you will have corresponding knowledge."

Zhou Fuqiu was taken aback, "Can it be done?"

Ke Lianshan laughed, "Others may not, but I am recognized by the Lan Ke Chessboard, and it isn’t difficult for me."

Zhou Fuqiu took a deep breath, "How could I not comply? I am willing to contribute to the Sect!"

"Good!"

Next, Ke Lianshan curled his right hand, extended a finger, and gently tapped Zhou Fuqiu’s forehead.

Instantly, a tearing pain ensued, almost causing Zhou Fuqiu to faint.

Yet simultaneously, a sense of fullness abruptly arose.

Zhou Fuqiu staggered, collapsing onto the dais.

Ke Lianshan noted no anomaly. Although he was the master of Lan Ke, his mastery over the Spiritual Treasure was not at Perfection due to not having ascended to the Divine Transformation Realm.

During previous Life Soul collections, others too had shown such symptoms, and he assumed Zhou Fuqiu’s cultivation years were too few, hence his Divine Soul wasn’t resilient.

"Junior Brother Li, take Zhou Fuqiu to rest. There are a few days before the Spiritual Treasure is activated."

Junior Brother Li responded, bringing Zhou Fuqiu down from the dais and settling him at the wasteland’s edge.

He was only a backup in case of emergencies, otherwise, he wouldn’t need to be deployed.

Yet within Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, without external interference, what unexpected event could happen?

"Fuqiu, rest well."

Zhou Fuqiu sat cross-legged on the ground, head lowered, face unseen, merely murmuring softly.

Junior Master Li departed calmly, not seeing the young man’s lowered face and eyes like the Cold Pool Abyss.

Within the Purple Mansion, the tranquil Ming Water Spring Eye began boiling intensely.

An unsettling atmosphere permeated the Purple Mansion.

The Nascent Soul Small People began struggling, but a sudden Consciousness descended, and the Nascent Soul entity froze and closed its eyes.

When it opened its eyes once more, its gaze mirrored that of the body’s own.

Deep, eerie, seemingly capable of devouring everything!
