I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048: Chapter 433: A Snap of the Fingers, Half a Century; The True Immortal Cataclysm_2 Chapter 1048: Chapter 433: A Snap of the Fingers, Half a Century; The True Immortal Cataclysm_2 “Hold on.”

“Where is this place?”

“Do you know what happened here seven years ago?”

The elderly monk stopped in his tracks, his initially raised heart settling down slightly. He turned around, lowered his head, and respectfully replied:
“Reporting to the Immortal Master, this place lies deep within the Giant Deer Mountain Range.”

Then, he thought for a moment and shook his head:
“My Ming Zen Sect is located on the periphery of the Giant Deer Mountain Range.”

“Seven years ago, I did not hear of anything unusual happening in the Giant Deer Mountain Range.”

“However, this place is deep within the mountains, a thousand miles away from the Ming Zen Sect. Even if there were a major event, my sect might not be able to sense it.”

“Additionally, if we speak of anomalies, that would be the downfall of the Rain Spirit Immortal Monarch nine years ago. Near the Rain Spirit Dojo, within ten million miles, the rain shielded the sky.”

“The heavy rain lasted for three full years before it finally dissipated.”

These words from the elderly monk made Han Yi frown.

He thought for a while, then reached a conclusion: the explosion of Dai Zhe and the self-destruction of the Void Sword World must have been contained by the bronze Ancient Bowl. In the end, even though the Ancient Bowl shattered, it limited the destructive power to a very small range.

The explosion had created a ten-mile-wide crater, which appeared exceedingly tiny in the grand scale of a thousand miles.

As for the Rain Spirit Immortal Monarch…

“Nine years ago?”

“What year is it now in the Daluo calendar?”

Han Yi suddenly realized he had been unconscious for a period and had no memory of that time, unable to deduce it.

“Reporting to the Immortal Master, it is now the year 106009 in the Daluo calendar.”

As soon as the elderly monk spoke, Han Yi revealed a look of sudden understanding.

“Indeed, I have been unconscious for more than a year.”

By a curious coincidence, Han Yi had emerged from seclusion in the Immortal Mansion and was searching for Li Zhengyang at the Immortal Trading Palace during the year 106000 in the Daluo calendar.

Unexpectedly, after he awoke, he once again entered seclusion. His injuries had not yet fully healed, but nine years had already passed.

As for the other’s mention of the Rain Spirit Immortal Monarch’s fall and the rain shielding the sky for three years, Han Yi did not think much of it, deeming it as a mere coincidence and casually dismissing the thought.

Then, Han Yi suddenly thought of something and asked:
“That Immortal Sword just now, where did you obtain it from?”

The elderly monk respectfully replied, “Reporting to the Immortal Master, a few months ago, I entered the depths of the Giant Deer Mountain Range in search of a Spiritual Medicine. By chance, ten miles from here, I stumbled upon the Immortal Sword within a fractured cliff.”

Han Yi frowned.

Only now did he pay attention to his current location. Below him was not a lake, but the slope of a valley. Continuing forward down the slope, he could see a larger mountain stream, with the water flowing from left to right.

In the seven years of his seclusion, with another year of mountain rain, the forest had undergone great changes. The lake he remembered from after his awakening had vanished, transformed into a valley with only a larger mountain stream remaining within it.

Han Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at the elderly monk. With a wave of his hand, the elderly monk respectfully bowed and then sped away.

Only after he was hundreds of miles away did the elder monk’s internal trepidations begin to gradually subside.

A thought he had initially dismissed suddenly flashed through his mind.

“This monk is definitely a True Immortal.”

“That black Immortal Sword must be his without a doubt.”

He came to his senses, his eyes reflecting a complex mixture of emotions: the sorrow of his sect’s extermination, the satisfaction of witnessing the downfall of his enemies, and a touch of aimless bewilderment.

After pondering for a long time, he let out a light sigh.

“Enough.”

“As long as I am here, the Ming Zen Sect lives on. I must pick myself back up.”

Finally, he turned to look one last time at the depths of the Giant Deer Mountain Range, then without further hesitation, flew away.

On the other side.

Han Yi began to explore both sides of the mountain stream, searching for any remaining items that might exist.

Now that his Divine Consciousness had recovered to the Spirit Transformation Stage, he was able to search very quickly.

Three days later.

Ten miles underground within a forest seventy miles away, Han Yi sensed a familiar divine presence.

His Divine Consciousness probed down, the forest trembled, and a black giant ax broke through the soil, which Han Yi grasped in his hand.

The Divine Fire Giant Ax.

Han Yi’s face was overjoyed.

After all, this was his belonging, so regaining what was lost naturally brought him great joy.

Next,
he spent an entire month’s time before he found a palm-sized copper fragment hidden in a cave occupied by a group of wild monkeys.

There seemed to be no aura emanating from the fragment, but Han Yi recognized at first glance that this must be a piece of the ancient bowl Immortal Artifact that had trapped him before.

Han Yi took the fragment back. It was a fragment of an Immortal Artifact with a unique material. Should the pieces of the Heavenly Demon Halberd ever be lost, this fragment could temporarily replace them.

Besides this, he was unable to discover anything else, including the Earthshaking Shuttle and other pieces of the ancient bowl, all of which left no trace.

However, speaking of which,
obtaining the black Immortal Sword and the Divine Fire Giant Ax, along with a piece of the ancient bowl, had already exceeded Han Yi’s expectations and could be described as completely satisfying.

At this point, he no longer wasted time and turned to flee toward the outside of the mountains.

As for where he was located, he had learned from a monk of the Ming Zen Sect a month earlier.

The Giant Deer Mountain Range.

This mountain range was not particularly large; it was a mid-sized range within the Daluo Immortal Realm and located in the Ancient Owl Immortal Domain.

This Immortal Domain, adjacent to the Age Candle Immortal Court, was named after the Ancient Owl Immortal Sovereign. This Immortal Sovereign was not affiliated with the Immortal Court and was quite low-profile. He resided at Ancient Owl Mountain, which was the place of his Enlightenment and not a Dojo or an Immortal Sect.

According to the legends, this Ancient Owl Immortal Sovereign had an ancient origin, from the same era as the Age Candle Dao Ancestor. He shared a not unsubstantial relationship with the Age Candle Dao Ancestor, allowing him to locate his Enlightenment ground near the Age Candle Immortal Court’s neighboring domain.

Within the Ancient Owl Immortal Domain, apart from the Ancient Owl Immortal Sovereign, there were three other Immortal Monarchs, each establishing their own Dojo and Immortal Sects: Danyang, Rain Spirit, and Sacred Scenery.

Among them, the Giant Deer Mountain Range lay within the domain of Rain Spirit Immortal Sect. The master of the Rain Spirit Immortal Sect was the Rain Spirit Immortal Monarch, and from that elderly cultivator, Han Yi had also learned that nine years prior, the Rain Spirit Immortal Monarch had perished.

And the Danyang Dojo was precisely where Han Yi had planned to join nine years ago.

Unexpectedly, the place where Dai Zhe teleported Han Yi to was the Immortal Domain where the Danyang Dojo was located; indeed a coincidence.

However, Han Yi was not going to directly proceed to the Danyang Dojo as joining a Dojo as a genuine True Immortal within the Age Candle Immortal Court and joining a Dojo as an individual outside of the Immortal Court were entirely different matters.

Moreover, despite sustaining serious injuries in the battle nine years ago–wounds that had yet to heal fully, losing nine Half-immortal items and many Spiritual Talismans, and consuming a lot of Spiritual Medicine–
his greatest gain was an Immortal Sword and three strands of purple Immortal Qi within his Internal Cave World.

Once his strength recovered, with the Immortal Sword and the experience of facing a True Immortal in that battle, Han Yi was almost completely certain he would transcend the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

Once he became a True Immortal, joining a Dojo then would not be too late.

Therefore,
after leaving the Giant Deer Mountain Range, Han Yi arrived at the nearest Immortal City and then took a Cross-realm Teleportation Array back to the Immortal Court without any incidents along the way.

Upon his return to the Immortal Court, he did not draw the attention of other cultivators. After arriving at the 826th Immortal Mansion, he began to seclude himself.

He didn’t have many Half-Immortal grade Spirit Stones left, only over seven hundred, but they were enough to allow him to meditate, heal his injuries, and return to his peak state.

Once he ascended to True Immortality, he would have plenty of opportunities to acquire more Immortal grade Spirit Stones.

Inside the Cave Mansion,
he took out all the Spiritual Medicines and Half-Immortal grade Spirit Stones he had and began to heal and cultivate.

As he secluded himself, the Daluo Immortal Realm underwent a change as the winds and clouds shifted.

Three years later,
Li Zhengyang came out of seclusion, attaining True Immortality, and secured a place in the Immortal Court. He also officially joined the Danyang Dojo and fell under the jurisdiction of Danyang within the Immortal Court.

Ten years later,
a True Immortal named Yuan Shun departed from Ziwei Immortal City, arrived at the Dazhuang Mountain Range, stayed for ten days, and then left again. His destination was the Extreme West Land.

Fifteen years later,
Bai Yu from the Daluo Fairy Court, a Disciple of the Jade Scenery Immortal Monarch and a Half-immortal, went missing in the Outer Domain Battlefield. The Soul Bead left in the Beidou Immortal Palace shattered, casting suspicions of his fall.

Twenty years later,
the Outer Domain Void Battlefield was once again engulfed in uproar. The nine major subordinate races of the Wisdom Realm mobilized en masse to attack the Daluo Immortal Realm.

The four great Immortal Courts dispatched Immortals and cultivators to rush to the Outer Domain Void.

After thirty years of struggle, innumerable casualties were suffered on both sides, and even two Immortal Venerates, twenty-three Immortal Monarchs, countless Golden Immortals, and innumerable Profound Immortals and below perished before the forces of the Wisdom Realm retreated.

In the blink of an eye, half a century had passed.

In the Age Candle Immortal Court,
within the main hall of the 826th Immortal Mansion, a young Taoist awoke leisurely and opened his eyes.

In his eyes as deep as the abyss, it seemed as if a lightning flash had solidified.

The True Immortal Cataclysm.
