Chapter 930 - Ancient Demons’ Loch (1/2)

“‘Honorary Alchemist Genius’ is the most prestigious t.i.tle for young alchemists, while only the top Alchemy Grandmasters can be granted the Grand Alchemist t.i.tle. To be able to craft Quasi-Heavenly Pills was the minimum requirement for such a t.i.tle. Elixir Lord was the only person in the Beihuang Region who had gained such honor. However, comparing him with all the other Grand Alchemists, Elixir Lord was the weakest,” Luo Changshen explained.

As Zhao Juexian and Lin Wuhua listened on, their minds were gradually overtaken by fear.

This was a new piece of information even for Violet Moon Fairy. Although the Ethereal Heavenly Sect was a major Heavenly Sect, it was a far cry from Luo Changshen and the Changshen Heavenly Region.

“The force behind all of it is the Medicine G.o.d Sect,” Li Changsheng said.

While the others were still confused about what that meant, Violet Moon Fairy was shocked by the revelation.

Her study at the Ethereal Heavenly Sect taught her the weight of the word “G.o.d” in a name. Not even the top Heavenly Sect would dare to mix that word in their name. This word meant a lineage that was unreachable by mortals. The fact that this word had been added to Medicine G.o.d Sect’s name, was indicative of its G.o.dly power.

“In other words, I need the so-called Medicine G.o.d Sect’s recognition to become an Elixir Monarch?”

Chen Fan crooked his head slightly and grinned.

“Precisely,” Luo Changshen said.

He went on to tell Chen Fan that the Medicine G.o.d Sect was elusive; there was no one who knew where they were located, much less the power and abilities they had. The only proof of their existence was one of their member’s routine trips across the planet every hundred or so years. He was the Medicine G.o.d’s heir, a wors.h.i.+pped and revered individual.

“I believe a new heir is about to arrive in our world. If you can get his approval, you will officially be the Elixir Monarch,” Luo Changshen said sincerely.

However, Chen Fan didn’t care about any of that.

He had never wanted the Elixir Monarch t.i.tle. He was the North Mystic Celestial Lord, what was the Elixir Monarch name to him?

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and asked with a smirk, “Brother Luo came all the way to the middle of nowhere just to tell me this?”

The valley was located deep in the mountains. The way to reach such a place was treacherous; even a Golden Core Cultivator would need to be careful to avoid disturbing the vile beasts lurking behind the thickets. Chen Fan didn’t think that Luo Changshen would go through so much trouble just to warn him. He was a smart young man who surely had something he wanted.

“I will not sidestep the question. Yes, I have some business to discuss with you.” Luo Changshen’s face grew harder and asked, “Have you ever heard of the Ancient Demons’ Loch?”

“You mean one of the nine forbidden lands of Tianhuang, the Ancient Demons’ Loch?”

Zhao Juexian gasped.

Chen Fan looked to him for an explanation. He lowered his head and obliged, “Master, the Ancient Demons’ Loch was a battleground left by the ancient Heavenly Demons. It’s a portal between Tianhuang and the Ancient Demons Realm where billions of demonic legions presided.

“Legend says the loch had ninety-nine levels. The further you went down, the tougher the demons were. Demon Commanders lurked at the deepest level. Even a Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate would need to be careful while traversing the abyss. Compared to the Ancient Demons’ Loch, the Two World Peak was a small tunnel, of much lesser significance strategically speaking. The Ancient Demons’ Loch was key to the Demon world, and its entrance was guarded by the Demon Warding Heavenly Region which was located right above the loch.”

Sthh!

Everyone let out a gasp of cold air.

The Demon Commanders of the Ancient Demon race were equal in power with the human Heavenly Lords. That meant they were nearly invisible on Planet Tianhuang and could easily crush Longevity Roll elites and family elders like insects.

Luo Changshen nodded and continued, “Indeed, the Ancient Demons’ Loch was the battleground where Heavenly Lord Tatian and the Ancient Demon King. Their battle tore a hole in s.p.a.ce which connected their world and ours.

“Countless Ancient Demon Overlords tried to invade Tianhuang from the other end each year. Meanwhile, many cultivators on Tianhuang also tried to venture into the abyss to slay demons as a form of self-tempering. Many overlords from the two worlds exchanged blows and many among them had fallen during the battle. However, some people also got lucky and obtained Heavenly Arts and Heavenly Treasures.”

Suddenly, Luo Changshen’s voice grew softer.

“I am aware that Elixir Monarch Chen has reached a stage where he wouldn’t be moved by average Heavenly Arts or treasures. However, the Ancient Demons’ Loch held something very special. Not only was it covered with Arrays left by Grand Cultivators, but it also had a Divine Longevity Medicine in the depths of the loch.”

“A Divine Medicine?”

This time, Chen Fan was finally moved.

Chen Fan couldn’t care less about Heavenly Arts, since he already had the most powerful arts: the Azure Thearch Longevity Body and the Twelve Sky Art Paintings. However, a Divine Medicine was a different story.

Each Divine Medicine embodied the purest energy of Heaven and Earth, and depending on the time of the day it was created, it would have different functions. Any Divine Medicine could make a Nascent Soul Cultivator out of an average mortal.

Therefore, what was hidden inside the loch was tempting even to a Grand Cultivator, more so for a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
