Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2997 - 1108: Dissolution and Reincarnation, Vacuum Gu Insects (2)

"Broken Sky Blade?" Luo Chen silently pondered in his heart, as the item was currently resting securely in his storage ring.

Back during the venture to the Netherworld, Meng Shentong was killed by Master Li Tian, and his possessions conveniently fell to Luo Chen.

At that time, seeing the uniqueness of the Broken Sky Blade, Luo Chen took great care in storing it.

He had not expected that this magic item was meant to be used in conjunction with the Vacuum Gu.

No!

Perhaps the Broken Sky Blade relied on the Vacuum Gu, but the Vacuum Gu might not necessarily need to cooperate with the Broken Sky Blade?

Didn’t Old Nan Qi once use this Gu to narrowly escape from Luo Chen’s grasp, although he was quickly caught again?

If I were to master this Gu, how would I utilize it?

Inexplicably, Luo Chen thought of a divine ability left by Qing Shuang—World Within a Sleeve!

Seeing Luo Chen deep in thought, Old Nan Qi could only wait quietly.

After a while, Luo Chen’s voice slowly floated through the air.

"Remove the mark!"

Old Nan Qi took a deep breath, reluctantly forming Daoist formulas towards the Vacuum Gu.

Soon, a wisp of blood light flew out from the Vacuum Gu.

At the same time, Luo Chen flicked his finger, casting prohibitions to completely seal it.

Old Nan Qi glanced once and felt a chill in his heart.

The prohibitions cast by Luo Chen were all the most exquisite spatial constraints, no wonder he had been caught again after attempting to escape earlier.

In the aspect of space, even though both belonged to the beginner stage, there was a difference in mastery between them.

"Senior, now that the Vacuum Gu is yours, what comes next..."

"No rush!"

Old Nan Qi’s expression changed slightly, "Could it be that the senior intends to go back on his word?"

Luo Chen smiled faintly, flicking a grey light.

Dong!

The sound of something heavy landing resounded through the great hall, as a Small Tripod stood towering on the ground.

The weight of the tripod even dented the exceedingly hard floor.

Most frightening was the dim light exuding from the grey miniature Cauldron. Slightly emitting it caused Old Nan Qi to feel restricted, with his Nascent Soul prostrating on the ground.

He stared at the vague light in shock, "Primordial Magnetic Divine Light?"

Luo Chen shook his head, "I’m not asking you to look at it, but to pay attention to what is inside."

As he spoke, he infused some Qi power into Old Nan Qi’s Nascent Soul, allowing him temporary freedom of movement.

Suppressing his astonishment, Old Nan Qi’s divine consciousness probed into the Primordial Chaos Tripod, quickly detecting an unusual yet somewhat familiar aura.

"Gu Insect?"

"No, it’s just the residual breath of a Gu Insect."

"Hiss... What kind of Gu Insect is this, why does merely a lingering breath make me feel uneasy, as if a great calamity is about to befall?"

It was a fluttering butterfly.

But it had no physical form, merely an illusion, a wisp of breath.

Luo Chen said plainly, "The name of this thing should be well-known to you. It’s called Disaster Gu, also known as Calamity Gu, one of the three divine Gu of the Southern Border Sacred Land Life and Death Gate. Before his ascension, Youli Divine Monarch took the Calamity Gu but left me a wisp of its breath. This breath has been in my natal magic item for many years, never put to use. Since you have mastery in Gu Dao, I wonder if you have any insights?"

Hearing this, Old Nan Qi was inexplicably shocked. He had not thought that his previously proud Vacuum Gu was indeed not considered an important treasure in the presence of the other party. After all, Luo Chen once possessed a Fifth-tier Divine Gu, the renowned Calamity Gu. Furthermore, he didn’t expect Luo Chen to have connections with the legendary Youli Divine Monarch.

Unable to conceal his astonishment, Old Nan Qi managed a bitter smile, "I’m sorry, given my realm, I cannot comprehend the capabilities of such a divine Gu. But based on rumors, this Gu’s lingering breath should bring disaster and calamity, not anything good."

Luo Chen frowned, "Brings disaster and calamity? But what Youli Divine Monarch said back then was that this Gu’s lingering breath would allow me to find new hope amidst great tribulations?"

Old Nan Qi was taken aback, then replied helplessly, "I do not know about that; the abilities of the Divine Monarch are far beyond my guessing."

Luo Chen fell silent.

The breath left by the Calamity Gu had existed in his natal magic item for a long time.

He clearly remembered the words the Youli Divine Monarch had spoken before his ascension.

That in the future, he might encounter unforeseen great tribulations, so the latter had left a wisp of the Calamity Gu’s breath deliberately in the Primordial Chaos Tripod for use at a critical moment to fend off great tribulations, even to escape from death.

After he left the Southern Border, there indeed never ceased to be great tribulations.

Whether the battle at Soulbreak Cliff, the struggle against heroes in the West Desert, or the battle on Heaven and Earth Island, none were situations from which ordinary people could easily escape.

But Luo Chen had relied on his ability to endure them all.

The only problem was, among these great tribulations, the breath of the Calamity Gu did not serve any purpose!

It even seemed that these disasters were drawn by that breath.

Luo Chen believed that Youli Divine Monarch wouldn’t harm him and had no reason to, but why did the breath of the Calamity Gu never take effect amidst these great tribulations?

Could it be that these didn’t count as life-and-death great tribulations?

And now, as a person in the Divine Transformation Realm, Luo Chen could walk freely throughout the vast Mountain Sea Realm, what danger could possibly threaten his life?

"Enough!"

With no answers from his ruminations, Luo Chen put away the Primordial Chaos Tripod, then cast his gaze upon Old Nan Qi.

Just at that moment, Old Nan Qi also looked over.

Four eyes met, understanding revealed.

"Young friend, please go on!"

Old Nan Qi opened his mouth, finally speaking with resignation, "Please do."

He did not want to die, but he also preferred not to end up like the Lie Tian Sect Master.

His soul confused, dispersed, without even the chance to re-enter reincarnation and cultivate anew.

In comparison, Luo Chen offering him a self-dissolution opportunity at least preserved a slim chance for future cultivation, given he could awaken latent wisdom.
