Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2761: Chapter 1020: Old Affairs of the West Desert, True Master of the Giant House (Part 2)

Luo Chen smiled without speaking.

Deng Taiyue shook his head and continued to introduce the Great Elder of the East Sun Sect.

”He achieved the Late Stage Nascent Soul early, and logically he should have come out to help during the Human and Demon War. But throughout the whole two hundred years of the war, he didn’t make a personal appearance. It is said that he seized the opportunity to achieve Merit Perfection and became the only one in the Eastern Wasteland to reach Nascent Soul Finalization!”

Nascent Soul Finalization?

Luo Chen’s mouth slightly lifted, showing a hint of interest.

He casually asked, ”Does the Great Elder of East Sun Sect have any famous battle records?”

Deng Taiyue was taken aback, ”That indeed stumped me.”

Luo Chen frowned, ”Then are there any records of his actions witnessed by many people?”

Deng Taiyue thought for a while, ”There are indeed some, but they can’t be considered as life-and-death struggles. Not long ago, during the auction I hosted, the newly ascended Great Cultivator Jiuling Yuanjun exuberantly exchanged a move with the Great Elder of East Sun Sect.”

”And the result?” Luo Chen showed a curious expression.

”Jiuling Yuanjun was defeated, his strength was slightly inferior.” Deng Taiyue replied.

Luo Chen was not very satisfied with this answer, as the information was too sparse.

”But later, during a private gathering, Jiuling Yuanjun seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the result of the confrontation. He candidly stated that if it were a life-and-death struggle, who would win was still uncertain.”

With this additional description, Luo Chen understood the situation.

At least when he tried with the newly ascended Great Cultivator Jiuling Yuanjun, Jiuling Yuanjun admitted his defeat wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, the Great Elder of East Sun Sect defeated Jiuling Yuanjun in one move, but the latter was not convinced, which indicates that the gap between them is not too large.

”It seems this person is skilled in cultivation but not in spell battles,” Luo Chen made a rough judgment.

Deng Taiyue asked curiously, ”Do you want to get rid of him?”

Luo Chen asked in return, ”Didn’t you say he wouldn’t be tempted by the Ti Hu Pill to become my ally?”

Deng Taiyue nodded, ”Indeed, after the Dark Abyss Sect was destroyed, he directly surrendered to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. Even now that the main force of Tianyuan Daoist Sect has left the Eastern Wasteland, he still represents the Daoist Sect to collect tributes from various Great Sects in the Eastern Wasteland. There are rumors that he plans to emulate the previous Star Gate system of the Daoist Sect and join the Tianyuan Daoist Sect. The Tianyuan Daoist Sect then promises to help him achieve the God Transformation Realm. Therefore, your Ti Hu Pill would be difficult to sway him.”

The Ti Hu Pill only offers a chance to prematurely comprehend the Law’s True Intent and accelerate cultivation.

Although comprehending the Law’s True Intent greatly aids future advancement to the God Transformation Realm, the most crucial requirement for true advancement is not the Law’s True Intent, nor the Primordial Spirit, but a Fifth Order Spiritual Land!

Such territories are solely controlled by the Holy Land of the Mountain Sea Realm.

If one day Luo Chen can resurrect Yanfu Mountain buried in the Nether Abyss, he too would have the chance to control a piece of Fifth Order Spiritual Land.

In fact, this is also why Deng Taiyue is so responsive to him, as Deng Taiyue has indeed seen Yanfu Mountain and knows that Luo Chen has acquired the Ming Water Spring Eye, which already qualifies him to restart Yanfu Mountain.

If someday, he manages to reach the final step, he would also desperately lack a Fifth Order Spiritual Land.

By that time, the three commitments Luo Chen made today would become very valuable.

By the same token, he can understand why the Great Elder of East Sun Sect would never accept any of Luo Chen’s terms.

The temptation of achieving God Transformation is enough to overwhelm everything!

Deng Taiyue hesitated for a moment, but still advised, ”But would eliminating him now not alert our enemies? If the Daoist Sect guards against it, we truly have no ground to overturn.”

Luo Chen laughed and said, ”You’re right, I don’t plan to act against him now. But it’s always necessary to meet him face to face, for instead of waiting for them to approach me, I might as well visit and see for myself.”
