Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2759: Chapter 1019: Emerging from the Abyss and Ascending the Mountain, Three Promises (Part 2)

Bai Meiling boarded the flying shuttle and curiously asked, ”Aren’t we going to take a look at Upper Nether Immortal City? Hao Ranzi, with Sect Leader Li’s support, has managed to refurbish that abandoned city quite well, reassembling the Fourth Order Spirit Vein, and it’s gradually showing signs of prosperity.”

”No need to visit, it doesn’t hold any significance for me,” Luo Chen casually released a wave of Qi Power, as the shuttle slowly ascended into the sky, ”However, during the journey, you can tell me about the situation at Upper Nether Immortal City.”

”Alright, master.”

The Frost Eagle Shuttle dove into the clouds, transforming into a swath of black light, disappearing in an instant across the sky.

...

Great Pan Peak!

One of the Inner Sect Eighteen Peaks of Taishan Sect.

Though not as towering as Ao Lai Peak nor as picturesque as Little Bamboo Mountain, its steady grandeur surpassed all peaks within Taishan Sect.

Under the night sky, Great Pan Peak resembled a giant beast in slumber, overlooking the world.

Suddenly!

Great Pan Peak trembled momentarily, with rocks rising and falling, akin to a beast awakening.

A surprised exclamation rang out.

”Stone Spirit?”

The next instant, from within the cave mansion of Great Pan Peak, a voice filled with shock and anger emerged.

”Which friend arrived uninvited?”

Brilliant lights shot up into the sky, quite captivating under the night sky.

The surrounding sect disciples seemed to sense something, flying over, but were quickly ordered back by Deng Taiyue.

The tremors of Great Pan Peak gradually subsided.

Deng Taiyue looked at the newcomer with uncertainty, ”Luo Chen?”

A tall man stood opposite, draped in a black robe, his face mostly hidden beneath a hood, except for a pair of eyes emitting golden light as intense as fire.

Deng Taiyue had only seen such eyes on one person.

Precisely Luo Chen!

Luo Chen removed his hood, nodded at first, then looked at the towering black stone atop Great Pan Peak.

Under his gaze of red eyes and golden pupils, that black stone transformed into a beast resembling both a wolf and a tiger, staring fiercely.

”I thought I concealed my breath well, yet upon entering the mountain, I was detected by this thing—truly a naturally aware stone?”

Deng Taiyue’s expression grew complex; Luo Chen’s claim of excellent aura concealment was no boast but a fact.

Even this Taishan Sect Master hadn’t noticed Luo Chen’s arrival within his own domain.

Even the surrounding array showed no response!

If not for the Mountain Guardian Stone Spirit discovering him, Luo Chen might have entered the cave mansion unnoticed.

It was utterly shocking!

Even the previous Luo Chen was formidable, yet couldn’t reach such a degree.

There was only one explanation: he had grown stronger!

Deng Taiyue took a deep breath, dismissed his inner unease, and introduced, ”It’s named Stone Guardian, indeed a rare Spiritual Divine Stone. It was formed three hundred years ago at Great Pan Peak, hence upon your arrival, it sensed you.”

Luo Chen realized, no wonder this Stone Spirit detected him, ascending the mountain equaled walking upon its body.

Suddenly, Luo Chen caught onto a keyword.

”Three hundred years ago?” Luo Chen wondered, looking at Deng Taiyue, ”I remember Brother Deng mentioned once, during your accidental sudden enlightenment, you nearly comprehended the law’s true intent, and that was over three hundred years ago, right?”

Deng Taiyue chuckled bitterly, ”Brother Luo has a keen mind, immediately grasping the crux. Indeed, during that time, observing Stone Guardian’s spirit communication inspired me, almost leading into a state of sudden enlightenment, nearly comprehending the law’s true intent.”

Luo Chen appeared unsurprised, casting Qi Power, turning Stone Guardian back into a weathered, emblematic black stone battered by wind and rain.

This simple exhibition showed the vast difference between the two.

Deng Taiyue’s pupils involuntarily contracted upon witnessing this.

Luo Chen casually walked to the stone, rubbed it slightly, and shook his head, ”Pity, this stone itself lacks foundation, relying on massive Earth Qi and Sun and Moon Essence to luckily achieve spirit communication. Had its foundation been stronger, the awakening would trigger Earth Origin, and Brother Deng then wouldn’t have failed.”

Deng Taiyue wore a blank expression.

Luo Chen merely smiled, not elaborating further.
