Legend of Reborn Alchemist

10Lin Cheng didn't know much about the situation in Devil-suppressing Cliff and the situation of the devil. He didn't have any way to gather information, and he didn't have any inheritance from his sect. So, he didn't know much about the secrets of Ancient Times.    

    

Regarding those devils, Lin Cheng had only heard about them through hearsay. The only thing he knew about the secrets of Ancient Times was from Spirit Rhinoceros King.    

    

However, Spirit Rhinoceros King was merely an ordinary small Demonic Beast in Ancient Times. So, his knowledge was limited. So, there was naturally a limit to what he could tell Lin Cheng.    

    

With Lin Cheng's current Cultivation Level, he could go anywhere he wanted in the Dongzhou. However, those who truly knew about these secrets must be the sect. To be more precise, it should be the experts or ancient records of the sect.    

    

However, if Lin Cheng rashly went to another sect, those people would definitely not treat him as a guest. Instead, they would act as if they were facing a great enemy. Even if those people pinched their noses to receive him, they would probably not tell him the truth.    

    

He could not attack a sect just because he wanted to find out more information. That would be too unwise.    

    

After thinking for a while, Lin Cheng finally came to Longevity Sect.    

    

If there was another sect in Dongzhou that he could trust, perhaps only the Longevity Sect was left.    

    

Of course, if it was the Longevity Sect that hadn't declined in the past... Lin Cheng still didn't trust them. He believed that if it was before the decline... The Longevity Sect would probably make the same choice as the other sects in the face of the Great Devil. They would shirk responsibilities and even turn a blind eye to each other, only caring about their own safety.    

    

However, the Longevity Sect had already declined. It could only be said that they were struggling with their last breath. Under such circumstances, they were afraid that they would have more hope than anyone else to suppress or even kill the Great Devil. Otherwise, once the Great Devil started a massacre... At that time, the other sects might still have some strength to protect themselves, but the Longevity Sect would only face death.    

    

Therefore, it was definitely the best choice for Lin Cheng to come to the Longevity Sect to gather information.    

    

At the same time, Lin Cheng also planned to visit Gu Yuanhua and Zou Qingqi. No matter what, these two had helped him before. Although it wasn't a favor, helping them in the past could be considered a transaction. However, there was still a relationship between them, if possible. ... Lin Cheng was naturally willing to treat them as friends.    

    

Furthermore, the deal Lin Cheng made in the past was a promise he would make in the future.    

    

This was also why he had become a guest elder of Longevity Sect. What Gu Yuanhua wanted back then was to help Longevity Sect when he broke through to a higher realm.    

    

Therefore, Lin Cheng had come!    

    

Of course, Lin Cheng knew that he might not be able to help Longevity Sect now. Although he was a mighty figure, the reason why he was able to reach his current realm was due to fate. Or rather, it was his fortune.    

    

However, Lin Cheng had no experience in helping the Longevity Sect. The only thing he could guarantee right now was that if he knew that the Longevity Sect was in danger, he would definitely help them.    

    

He believed that Gu Yuanhua was thinking the same thing. A mighty figure was helping them. This was basically a chance to save his life. No matter how much resources he spent, he wouldn't be able to get it. However, before Lin Cheng became an almighty expert, or even when Lin Cheng was in danger... They had formed a good relationship with Lin Cheng, so they had gotten this opportunity.    

    

This was a very good deal for both Lin Cheng and Longevity Sect.    

    

When Lin Cheng needed help, he had gotten what he needed from the Longevity Sect or Gu Yuanhua. For example, the Cold Chalcedony and the two strange metals that Gu Yuanhua told him about. Actually, it was the Silver Source, and Gu Yuanhua had also told him why he had to refine the Intrinsic Magic Treasure that belonged to him.    

    

Other than that, the most important thing that Lin Cheng had learned from Gu Yuanhua was actually Gu Yuanhua's many years of cultivation experience. These were all very important to Lin Cheng.    

    

Gu Yuanhua and the Longevity Sect had received a promise from Lin Cheng, as well as a guest elder. At the same time, they might become a powerful expert in the future.    

    

Reality proved that both parties had gained a lot.    

    

Lin Cheng's successful breakthrough could not be said to be due to Gu Yuanhua's contribution, but his cultivation experience had indeed made Lin Cheng's path of breakthrough smoother. This might have saved Lin Cheng a lot of time.    

    

"After that devil escaped, he didn't even kill the cultivator that was guarding the Devil-suppressing Cliff. Instead, he went straight to the Boundless Forest."    

    

Gu Yuanhua said, "After the experts of the major sects received the news, they immediately chased after him. Of course, this was what they claimed. But as far as I know... They weren't chasing after them, but because of the journey from the Devil-suppressing Cliff to the Boundless Forest. The Heavenly Star Sect is the only way to get to the ___. "    

    

"It's said that the expert from the Formless Immortal Sect of the Southern Domain is gathering all the experts of the Dongzhou to discuss how to deal with the Great Devil. However, he happened to encounter the Great Devil and had no choice but to fight it. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat. Among them, there was also the fall of the Expert of Divine Ability Stage. If it wasn't for the fact that the Heavenly Star Sect had used the Sovereign Artifact, I'm afraid that Heavenly Star Sect will be destroyed in that war."    

    

" I don't know if it's because the great devil was too afraid of the Sovereign Artifact or because it had other motives. That day, it didn't continue to fight, but went straight to the Boundless Forest and eventually occupied the Boundless Mountain Range. "    

    

"Not long after that, that devil established the Celestial Devil Sect. At the same time, it announced to the public that anyone could join the Celestial Devil Sect and become its disciple, accepting its inheritance. Furthermore, it was the inheritance of the Ancient Times."    

    

Listening to Gu Yuanhua's narration, Lin Cheng nodded his head slightly, seeming to be lost in thought.    

    

Generally speaking, what Gu Yuanhua said was very similar to what the three experts near the Daluo Mountain Range had said. The devil had escaped and occupied the Boundless Forest. What Gu Yuanhua said was that it had occupied the entire Boundless Mountain Range.    

    

In fact, this didn't make much of a difference. Lin Cheng believed that once the devil found out that there was an evil devil occupying the Boundless Forest, no one would dare to step foot in the entire Boundless Mountain Range.    

    

The scariness of an evil devil had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.    

    

However, there were still some details that Gu Yuanhua didn't share with the three of them.    

    

For example, the three of them claimed that after the devil escaped, a large number of experts from the Dongzhou chased after the Great Devil, but Gu Yuanhua said... It wasn't a chase at all, it was because the Great Devil wanted to go to the Boundless Forest. They had to pass by the Heavenly Star Sect. It could be said that those people had nowhere to hide. They were forced to attack because they wanted to live.    

    

On this point, Lin Cheng was more willing to believe in Gu Yuanhua.    

    

Judging from the actions of those sects, it was obvious that they were afraid of the Great Devil. The Great Devil was still under the Devil-suppressing Cliff and had yet to escape. That was an excellent opportunity, but even so, they didn't dare to make a move. So, how could they dare to chase after the Great Devil after it escaped?    

    

Lin Cheng had some doubts and disdain before this. In his point of view, although the Great Devil had escaped, it couldn't be said that it didn't pay any price. In fact, he even estimated that the devil must have used all his strength to escape. And it was very likely that he had paid a hefty price.    

    

If the devil was strong enough, he would have escaped long ago. Why would he need to wait until that time?    

    

Therefore, during the period when the great devil had just escaped, it was very likely that the great devil was at its weakest. It was even possible that the great devil was already heavily injured. This was not impossible.    

    

Although Lin Cheng didn't know why the devil had gone straight to Boundless Forest, if the experts of Heavenly Star Sect and other sects had the courage to fight to the death at that time... Adding the terrifying power of the Sovereign Artifact, even if the devil couldn't be suppressed once more... * Hong Long...... *    

    

As long as they could seize the opportunity, it was very likely that the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou would have the upper hand.    

    

Under such circumstances, if he contacted the Cultivation Realm in the other provinces and had the determination to fight to the death, he might be able to use the Sovereign Artifact to suppress that devil once again.    

    

Unfortunately, those experts of the sects only chased after him once before they stopped. Instead, they watched helplessly as that devil took over the Boundless Forest and even established the Celestial Devil Sect.    

    

Only now did Lin Cheng know that even that battle wasn't because of the pursuit of the experts from the Heavenly Star Sect, but because they couldn't avoid it and had no choice but to fight.    

    

However, they were afraid that their battle was just to protect themselves. Perhaps, no one had thought of putting their lives on the line to suppress the devil.    

    

They had completely missed the opportunity for nothing. As a result, a huge hidden danger had been buried for themselves and the entire Dongzhou. No, it was no longer a hidden danger, but a life and death crisis that could come at any time.    

    

"Why did that devil go straight to the Boundless Forest? Isn't the best choice for it? Isn't it better to go to another province and release those suppressed devils?" Lin Cheng was somewhat puzzled.    

    

"I don't know about that."    

    

Gu Yuanhua shook his head and said, "The information I know was told by the two seniors of my sect. Otherwise, given the current situation of my sect, I'm afraid I wouldn't know as much as a rogue cultivator."    

    

The current Longevity Sect could no longer be called a sect.    

    

Apart from some cities near the mountain gate that had a certain degree of control and prestige, no one cared about the Longevity Sect when it was mentioned in other places.    

    

Therefore, most of the information that Gu Yuanhua could get was through the outer circle disciples, Adventurer, and rogue cultivators in those cities.    

    

This time, it was also because of the emergence of the Great Devil. It was a matter of great importance, and the Longevity Sect might once again face a life and death crisis. That was why the two hidden seniors of the sect had returned and told Gu Yuanhua some information.    

    

"Is there something in the Boundless Forest that the Great Devil urgently needs?" Gu Yuanhua speculated, "It just escaped from the Devil-suppressing Cliff. It might urgently need to restore its Cultivation Level and realm. Furthermore, it clearly doesn't have a weapon. Could it be in the forbidden area of the Boundless Forest? Does it have a weapon or something it needs to cultivate? "    

    

When Lin Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
