Immortality Begins With The Alchemical Master Chapter 940: Shadowlight Sect, Lantern Master - Novel Cool

Chapter 940: Shadowlight Sect, Lantern Master

Chapter 940: Shadowlight Sect, Lantern Master

High in the sky, clouds drifted by.

Suddenly, two figures shot through, scattering a large number of clouds and leaving the sky fragmented.

Even after the figures passed, their echoes lingered.

"Miji Mountain is one of the great wonders of the Southern Frontier!"

"It is half-hidden and half-revealed in the mortal world. It was only discovered and stabilized a few hundred years ago."

"Once inside, the space is layered, as if three thousand worlds converge within a single mountain. A slight lapse in attention can easily lead to getting lost. Moreover, our nascent souls, which should be able to traverse vast distances with a single leap, are greatly suppressed within Miji Mountain and cannot travel far."

"Thus, combat is strictly forbidden within Miji Mountain!"

"Some say Miji Mountain is a spirit treasure transformed by a great being, while others speculate it might be the remains of an ancient beast. However, most believe it is a naturally formed wonder, a half-formed Cave Heaven."

A wonder containing countless small spaces?

Luo Chen listened with great interest.

Could it be something like the Mirage Dragon Grotto?

However, according to the Thunder Echo Cave Lord, the entrance to Miji Mountain is in the mortal world, clearly not formed from the remains of an ancient beast.

By this reasoning, it is also not a spirit treasure.

Could it truly be a naturally formed Cave Heaven, like Dan Sheng Paradise?

"Such a wonder, wouldn't the holy Life and Death Sect be interested?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord replied, "It's not that they aren't interested, but before Miji Mountain appeared, the Life and Death Sect had already closed its gates and rarely interacted with the outside world. Then, a great cultivator named Songyang Zhenren took possession of Miji Mountain, using it as a base to establish the Stiff Mountain Alliance."

Songyang Zhenren, Stiff Mountain Alliance.

Luo Chen pondered these names, but what intrigued him more was the Life and Death Sect's decision to close its gates and cut off contact with the outside world.

However, the Thunder Echo Cave Lord could not provide an answer.

He couldn't even pinpoint the exact time the gates were closed.

"At that time, I was merely a Golden Core Disciple, how could I have access to such secrets!" the Thunder Echo Cave Lord said with a bitter smile.

Luo Chen then realized that the Thunder Echo Cave Lord was not like Lin Feng Zi, a seasoned nascent soul cultivator who knew everything about the local cultivation world.

In the end, he was a newly ascended independent cultivator.

Regardless of his strength, his information sources were far inferior to those of well-established Yuan Ying True People.

Reflecting on his own past, when he was at the Golden Core Stage, he was in a similar situation.

It was thanks to the intelligence networks of the Dong Huangluo Tian Sect and the Northern Sea Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering that he didn't remain completely in the dark about the outside world.

"The last exchange was when I was recommended to attend. Once you know someone, it's easier the second time. I can recommend you for this one."

"Is it that troublesome?"

"It is. Southern Frontier cultivators are known for using invisible, harmful insects, and the Moxin Parasite incident in the past has made many inherently distrust outsiders. Various circles are quite closed, and even if you have heavenly cultivation, you would still be an outsider without a recommendation."

"You jest. If one truly had heavenly cultivation, why not start their own sect?"

"Ha, you have a point. True powerhouses should be like Songyang Zhenren, occupying a treasure land, establishing a foundation, and gathering followers with a single call."

"Songyang Zhenren..." Luo Chen sighed, then abruptly changed the subject, "Have you experienced the Moxin Parasite incident, Cave Lord?"

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord's expression changed, and he was about to speak when a voice came from below.

"A friend from afar, how delightful. Lei Ming, since you are passing by my mountain gate, why not come down for a chat?"

The voice was elusive, clearly coming from below, yet its source was hard to pinpoint.

This revealed just how powerful the being emitting the voice must be in terms of spirit sense.

However, Luo Chen merely glanced and then turned his gaze away.

He focused his attention on the Thunder Echo Cave Lord, "Who's the one down there?"

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord’s expression was uneasy, and he whispered, "You could say he’s a friend. He introduced me to the nascent soul circle last time. His real name is unknown, but outsiders call him the Lantern Master, and he is the leader of the Shadowlight Sect."

"What do you mean by 'you could say'?" Luo Chen asked with a half-smile, staring at the Thunder Echo Cave Lord.

The other man sighed, "Ever since I reached the nascent soul stage, I’ve been keen on expanding my network. The Lantern Master has known me for a long time, and I once considered him a friend. But when the Feng family attacked Thunder Pass, I invited many for help, and he didn’t respond. So, the term 'friend' has to be taken with a grain of salt."

Luo Chen understood and then asked, "So, what do we do now?"

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord thought for a moment and made a decision.

"After traveling for so many days, my magical power is significantly depleted. It wouldn’t hurt to go down and rest a bit. Besides, I might as well ask him about not responding last time!"

"That might not be very polite."

Luo Chen laughed and descended from the cloud.

In a grand hall adorned with lanterns and bustling with people, a man in a dark red robe, looking sinister, finally emerged from a state of unease.

"Again!"

"The same feeling!"

"But something seems different this time?"

As he pondered, his spirit sense detected two figures descending from the clouds.

His heart skipped a beat, and he cast a few spells on himself before heading out to greet them.

...

"Cave Lord, aren’t you going to introduce me to this new friend?"

From a distance, the Lantern Master called out with a loud laugh.

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord said somewhat awkwardly, "Qi Tian, one of the Thirty-Six Cave Lords of Thunder Pass."

The Lantern Master paused, his face showing surprise.

At that moment, Luo Chen, with his hands behind his back, slowly turned around. A powerful surge of qi and blood rose into the sky, forming a rolling column of smoke.

This column of smoke was terrifying, but it dissipated as quickly as it appeared, like a fleeting flower.

The Lantern Master exclaimed, "A Body Cultivator?"

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord’s expression returned to normal, and he smiled, "Yes, Brother Qi is a Body Cultivator. Although his path is different from ours, his abilities are no less than mine."

The Lantern Master couldn’t help but regard Luo Chen with even more respect.

He was deeply impressed.

Wasn’t Thunder Pass known for its harsh and inhospitable environment?

How could it produce two such formidable individuals in succession?

No wonder that old man from the Feng family coveted Thunder Pass so much, even warning me to stay out of it.

Although he inwardly grumbled, the Lantern Master’s face remained friendly.

"Come, come, now that you’re here at the Shadowlight Sect, let me treat you well. Please, come inside!"

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord stood still.

The Lantern Master raised an eyebrow, "Cave Lord, are you still upset that I didn’t help you last time?"

"Of course not!"

"Alas, I had a cultivation mishap at the time and couldn’t risk acting rashly. Seeing that you’re safe and sound and can travel far, it’s clear those troubles are over. That brings me great relief."

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord was surprised, "You had a cultivation mishap?"

The Lantern Master waved his hand, "It was a bit of a problem, but let’s discuss it in detail once we sit down."

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord hesitated and looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen didn’t speak but started walking toward the Shadowlight Sect’s gate.

The Thunder Echo Cave Lord followed closely.

The Lantern Master watched this scene, lost in thought.

Among the two, it seemed that the newly risen Qi Tian was the one in charge. (End of Chapter)
