Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1665: Chapter 612_3

It seems that most rogue cultivators don’t actually want to spend their entire lives wandering aimlessly.

But this female priestess here truly lives as a rogue cultivator, solitary and unaccompanied by any retainers or followers.

“Since you’ve already met Elder Sang Jiugong, there’s nothing more to do here. Qingyang Zi, you’re free to go!”

“Alright.”

Luo Chen acknowledged with a soft response but suddenly remembered something just as he was about to leave.

“Earlier, Elder Sang Jiugong mentioned that the situation at the first defense line is dire. What’s going on there?”

Lu Shanjun let out a bitter laugh. “What else could it be? It’s just that the seal at Beiji Yemo Tian is loosening again, that’s all!”

Luo Chen’s expression turned sharply.

He clearly remembered hearing the rumors that Beiji Yemo Tian was said to hold over ten million members of the Demon Clan, including Fourth Order Demon Emperors in the Nascent Soul Stage and supposedly even Fifth Order Ancient Demons in the Divine Transformation Stage.

If all of them broke free… he’d genuinely need to consider grabbing his things and fleeing for dear life.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Shanjun quickly spoke to reassure him.

“Don’t worry. This kind of event happens every ten years. Even if powerful demon beasts escape, they’re usually only some ferocious Third Order Demon Beasts. The Fourth Order and Fifth Order ones can’t come out yet.”

“For now?” Luo Chen couldn’t help but voice his concern: “What about later? How can the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering allow such threats beside its own pillow? If one day the seals at Beiji Yemo Tian completely break and Ancient Demons of Divine Transformation Stage emerge, wouldn’t you and I be no better than fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of demons?”

Lu Shanjun, however, shook his head and said, “No need to worry over that. The sealing array there was personally laid down by the ancestor of the Yuan Mo Sect’s Soul Refining Lineage before his death. It integrates the advantages of natural geography, the thousand-year foundation of the Yuan Mo Sect, and is by no means easily broken. Moreover, over a hundred years ago, the great power of the Canghai Alliance personally went to the outskirts of Beiji Yemo Tian and set up another formation himself. With this double-layer protection, we’re safe for at least a thousand years. By then, you and I will either have achieved the Realm of Nascent Soul True Masters and roamed the Mountain Sea Realm at will, or turned into a lump of dirt, leaving others to deal with the aftermath.”

Luo Chen opened his mouth as if to offer a rebuttal but found himself unable to do so, ultimately letting out a bitter laugh.
