Moreover, their divine souls are strong and their qi power is profound. Once they decide to engage in a certain immortal cultivation skill, with just so ti and effort, they can achieve so level of success.
Reaching the level of divine transformation may be difficult, but becoming a little master who starts their own sect is certainly not challenging.
Trying to chart a unique path to elevate my realm to compensate for the shortcomings in my pill refinent technique makes a laughingstock compared to them.
Have I really taken the wrong path?
This thought reverberated in Lu Chun’s mind shortly after he broke through his realm, causing his face to alternate between green and red, and his mana fluctuations to beco chaotic.
Chu Yu frowned and said softly, "Senior Brother!"
Lu Chun snapped back to awareness, imdiately realizing his impropriety, and stamred, "Junior Sister, I..."
Chu Yu sighed and showed no sign of ridicule.
Compared to the rudeness of Senior Brother Lu intruding on the island, what she saw more clearly was his closeness with her.
In the Mingyuan Sect, her Chu family was not considered a prominent or powerful family. Before the appearance of the alchemy saint ancestor who never married, they had only produced a single early Nascent Soul Stage predecessor.
It wasn’t until the sudden ergence of Alchemy Saint Chu Yan that the Chu family began to flourish.
Yet, with the departure of Ancestor Chu Yan, the Chu family, which hadn’t even developed for a few hundred years, faced suppression from other factions within the sect.
She, an Alchemy Grandmaster, could only reside on the small Sulphur Jade Island, illustrating the dire straits of the Chu family’s current situation.
In recent years, the only ones who showed any closeness to the Chu family were the Lu family!
Although many said that the Lu family sought to steal the Chu family’s pill refinent techniques, and indeed they used those techniques to cultivate Lu Chun as a little master, there are tis when having resources that others dare not approach is a form of sadness.
Senior Brother Lu Chun’s sincerity before her is an important reason Chu Yu could tolerate small rudenesses from him.
"Senior Brother, share your purpose in coming!"
With this distraction, Lu Chun no longer dwelled on the previous stray thoughts, pressing them down while explaining to Chu Yu.
"The Alchemy Sect will enter Mingyuan!"
"Alchemy Sect?" Chu Yu initially looked confused, but soon her eyes lit up, "Is it that Alchemy Sect?"
A hundred arts of immortal cultivation encompass the Great Dao Path.
Those who achieve divine transformation are sacred, those who start their own sects are grandmasters, and those who enter the mainstream are considered masters.
But these titles are usually implied, rarely self-proclaid.
Unless they gain universal recognition!
Just like the title of Alchemy Saint for Ancestor Chu Yan.
Beneath the Alchemy Saint, quite a few individuals at the alchemy grandmaster level exist in this era.
In the Mingyuan Sect, Tianyuan Daoist Sect, Yuan Mo... even among the Demon Clan, there are proficient practitioners of the Dao of Alchemy.
But Luo Chen alone holds the title of "Alchemy Sect," which is truly arrogant.
Lu Chun nodded, "It is Luo Chen indeed!"
Chu Yu thought for a mont and naturally replied, "Considering the ti, he should indeed be coming. What’s so strange about that?"
"That’s naturally not strange, but you must know, Junior Sister, that he intends to take the lead in the Alchemy Saint Hall. The prerequisite for taking the lead in the Alchemy Saint Hall is obtaining the Alchemy Saint Inheritance. Junior Sister..."
Before he could finish, the woman’s firm voice interrupted.
"No, the Alchemy Saint Inheritance is mine!"
The normally gentle woman displayed an indisputable attitude at this mont.
To others, the Alchemy Saint Inheritance is just an inheritance.
But to her, obtaining the Alchemy Saint Inheritance is the dicine to restore the Chu family’s glory and resolve the years of suspicion and distress from the sect cultivators.
And it’s the only dicine!
Lu Chun nodded in agreent, "The Alchemy Saint Inheritance can be yours, it could even be mine, or even Chen Mozi, or Xinyi Sheng could obtain it, and I would acknowledge it, given their centuries of service to the Mingyuan Sect. But Luo Chen, on what grounds?"
"He has done no service to my sect, nor has he shown any effort. His prowess in pill refinent is but boasting from others, with no real ability seen."
"If such lowly acts were to steal the Alchemy Saint Inheritance, the world would laugh at the Mingyuan Sect for having no one!"
Chu Yu’s expression was cold, her agreent with her Senior Brother was half-hearted.
Under such great reputation, Luo Chen certainly can’t be so incompetent.
But the matter of inheritance indeed cannot fall into others’ hands!
Lu Chun continued with his indignation, "Though we feel this way, it can’t withstand the ancestors’ decree. Who knows what they are thinking, attempting to promise the Alchemy Saint Hall to the unguided Luo Chen instead of us who have dedicated ourselves to the Dao of Alchemy for years."
"I don’t care about any insider matters, but Luo Chen wants to successfully enter the Alchemy Saint Hall, absolutely impossible!"
Chu Yu looked at Lu Chun, "Senior brother, can you really defy the patriarch’s will? Moreover, the prerequisite for entering the Alchemy Saint Hall is to obtain the inheritance, gain recognition from our ancestor, and ultimately determine superiority in the Pill Refinent Technique."
"That is the last hurdle!" Lu Chun glanced at the gentle lady, confidently saying, "Before that, he must first enter the Alchemy Saint Hall."
"Hmm?"
"Regardless of whether this person has real skills, his fa is so great and his sharp spirit so fierce, it can’t be faked. It’s precisely because of this reputation that the patriarchs agreed to open the once-every-century inheritance trial of the Alchemy Saint Hall early for him, even disrupting our rhythm. Today, I will give him a setback, dampen his sharpness. By then, the sect mbers won’t be dazzled by his halo, and the century inheritance trial might not be so urgently opened." Lu Chun said confidently, as if he had everything under control.
Chu Yu frowned slightly, "But this is rely a trick outside of the Dao of Alchemy."
"The ans are not about nobility or lowliness, only the results matter!"
Lu Chun’s Qi Power surged as he was about to leave.
"Junior sister, would you like to co with to watch the drama at the Oblivion Sea?"
Chu Yu wanted to refuse, but another voice kept enticing her in her mind.
Why did the ancestor distrust the descendants but prefer to trust an unfamiliar outsider?
What kind of person exactly is Luo Chen?
In the end, she followed Lu Chun and left Sulphur Jade Island to head to the edge of the Abyss.
Upon arrival, her mind was still in turmoil.
She sowhat expected the other to reveal his incompetence as soone boasting a false reputation, yet sowhat hoped the other would truly prove capable, showing their ancestor didn’t make a mistake.
While she was conflicted, the adjacent Lu Chun whispered:
"Chen Mozi, and Xinyi Sheng are also here!"
...
All Sacred Lands have natural barriers!
This is not a rumor but a fact.
It’s because the Five Great Sacred Lands of Mountain Sea Realm were won by forcibly breaking through the Demon Clan’s defenses, seizing the spiritual lands to establish sect gates.
To prevent the Demon Clan’s counterattack, sites with natural barriers were specially chosen when establishing the sect gates.
North Sea Primordial Demon’s Beiji Yemo Tian, Southern Border Gate of Life and Death’s Gate of Life and Death, Western Desert Hanging Monastery’s Cui Lan Screen, and Eastern Wasteland Mingyuan Sect’s Nether Abyss!
This was Luo Chen’s first ti facing the Nether Abyss directly!
An endless and unfathomable pitch-black abyss, without visible seawater flowing, lay sprawling beneath his feet.
It was like a giant beast opening its mouth wide, ready at any ti for ignorant beings to stumble inside and then be devoured.
Even as he felt confident in his breakthrough in strength, he dared not forcibly enter it.
Only feeling that the dangers inside definitely exceed those of the Oblivion Sea.
"What is hidden inside?"
While vigilant, Luo Chen shifted his attention to the sky.
His eyes flickered with golden light.
After a while, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"Such a No-fly Array, unheard and unseen!"
Beside him, the Lingtian City Lord, with an honored expression, praised highly, "This formation was laid down jointly by the Mingyuan Ancestor Master, using Mingyuan’s Fifth-Order Spirit Vein as a base and the Nether Abyss as the Array Eye. It’s comparable to the Zhongzhou Heaven and Earth Peak’s Cut Off Heaven and Earth, even Divine Transformation Great Powers dare not traverse the sky."
"Moreover, over three thousand years since the ancient tis, our sect’s Great Powers have continuously refurbished and supplented it, adding many formations of slaughter."
"Especially a thousand years ago, Grandmaster Bai Ye incorporated his most prized Nine Heavens Universal Origin Great Thunder Skill. If soone tries to force their way in, it will trigger Nine Heavens’ Fury, bringing down Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, pulverizing the invading enemy."
The so-called Array Base and Array Eye are rely general terms, unable to reveal true and false.
Yet using human power to trigger Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, such thods are enough to terrify any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who has experienced Heavenly Tribulation.
Luo Chen recalled his own experience in dicine King Realm using a Transford Thunder Beast to trigger heavenly tribulation, by comparison it seed just like child’s play.
He also thought about Yu Ding’s Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, which had stood for a millennium; during the millennium, the nine thunder mountains hadn’t disappeared, instead thunder continuously cracked, nearly obliterating all living beings with its power.
Luo Chen blinked, "Grandmaster Bai Ye? Could it be that place in Yu Ding..."
Lingtian City Lord’s expression darkened, just as he was about to explain, an upheaval occurred beneath the Nether Abyss below.
Luo Lingxi grabbed Luo Chen’s hand, eyes glowing, pointing to the depths of the abyss.
"There’s a monster!"
