The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1463 - Chapter 1463 Chapter 1561 Resurrection is Imminent

Chapter 1463: Chapter 1561: Resurrection is Imminent Chapter 1463: Chapter 1561: Resurrection is Imminent A small town on the southern border, a peaceful place by the sea.

This is also one of the few places that remains unaffected by the wars between the two territories, unvisited by anyone from the three sects.

This place is the hometown of the South Zodiac King, although this small town has completely changed from its original appearance, the South Zodiac King still regards it as his hometown and often spends time here, even though most of his old friends and relatives are no longer around.

Since the Pill Alliance fell into decline, the South Zodiac King, disillusioned, returned to this southern town to live in seclusion at his residence.

Undisturbed, with few knowing his whereabouts, he lives quietly, not bothering with the troublesome matters of the Pill Alliance.

Unfortunately, even if the South Zodiac King does not wish to deal with the Pill Alliance, trouble still finds its way to him.

One day, an unwelcome visitor arrived in the town, one of the rare few who knew that the South Zodiac King was in hiding here.

The courtyard of the South Zodiac King is situated on a mountain outside of the small town, steep and perilous, impossible for those without cultivation to ascend.

The visitor, riding a cloud, directly arrived at the mountaintop, landing in the courtyard of the South Zodiac King.

“What are you here for?” The South Zodiac King stood in the courtyard, gazing at the sea without turning to look at the visitor, directly speaking out.

“There’s an issue with the Pill Alliance, you couldn’t possibly remain indifferent, could you?” The visitor spoke with a somewhat icy tone.

The South Zodiac King turned around, facing the visitor, who was none other than the Western Moon King, currently the sole ruler of the Pill Alliance.

“With you in charge of the Pill Alliance, what could go wrong?” The South Zodiac King said somewhat teasingly.

The Western Moon King, not taking offense from the sarcasm in the South Zodiac King’s tone, coldly stated, “The biggest threat to our Pill Alliance now is the Sky Swallowing Palace.”

The South Zodiac King remained silent, and the Western Moon King continued, “I have already located the Sky Swallowing Palace; once preparations are complete, we can eliminate the Sky Swallowing Palace Master and destroy it completely, thereby ridding our Pill Alliance of an enemy.”

“You came here to ask for my help?” The South Zodiac King frowned.

The Western Moon King nodded, “The power of the Sky Swallowing Palace Master is profound and unpredictable; we need your help.”

“From the sound of it, you’ve also invited others to assist?” The South Zodiac King smiled.

The Western Moon King was slightly silent before speaking, “The Pill Alliance alone might not be enough to destroy the Sky Swallowing Palace.”

“So you’ve sought the Hidden Kill Hall?” The South Zodiac King’s expression soured.

The Western Moon King simply replied normally, “Do you think I had any other choice?”

The two looked at each other, and the South Zodiac King sighed lightly, “I’ll help you this last time, and after this matter is resolved, I will renounce the throne of Heaven King and will not return to the Pill Alliance.”

Upon hearing this, the Western Moon King wanted to persuade the South Zodiac King otherwise, but seeing his resolute expression, he held back his words.

He had already realized that both the South Zodiac King and the North Spirit King had intentions of retiring, but due to considerations for old ties, had not outright said so.

The Western Moon King was well aware that by asking for help from the South Zodiac King and the North Spirit King this time, he was exhausting the last bits of their relationship; whether the plan to besiege the Sky Swallowing Palace succeeded or failed, both the South Zodiac King and the North Spirit King would retire.

Was the Western Moon King truly happy to see such a situation unfold?

Truth be told, his feelings were complicated–both hoping that the South Zodiac King and the North Spirit King would remain with him to support the Pill Alliance, yet not wanting them to interfere or affect his own power.

“Sky Swallowing Palace is located in the Extreme North Land. When the day to act arrives, I will inform you,” Western Moon King did not linger, knowing that South Zodiac King did not want to see him, and so he turned and left.

South Zodiac King clenched his fists, knowing this might be the last thing he could do for Pill Alliance.

As for what would happen to Pill Alliance afterward, whether it would rise again or collapse and disappear, South Zodiac King no longer cared.

This Pill Alliance was no longer the place that once filled him with passion.

Inside Ancient Demon Ridge, Great Sage Equal to Heaven guarded beside the Sacred Tree, always very anxious, not knowing what would happen after the Sacred Tree absorbed the two Demon Bones.

However, very soon, Great Sage Equal to Heaven felt two surges of vitality spreading out from the Sacred Tree.

One of the vitalities was very familiar to him; it was Fang Lin’s vitality, and it was growing stronger.

The other vitality surprised Great Sage Equal to Heaven; it was True Dragon’s vitality, also enhancing continuously.

“It seems there is hope for this lad Fang Lin to be resurrected. The Sacred Tree is helping him regenerate his body, but I also have to bring his soul back,” murmured Great Sage Equal to Heaven, then immediately set off.

He wasn’t worried about any disruptions to Fang Lin’s resurrection; never mind whether anyone knew about it, even if they did, who would dare enter his Ancient Demon Ridge?

If you managed to sneak in, both Demon Bones are under the Sacred Tree, what can you actually do?

Let alone others, even Great Sage Equal to Heaven himself wouldn’t dare to casually disturb the Sacred Tree. Fang Lin recovering his physical body within the Sacred Tree was incredibly safe.

Where is Fang Lin’s soul?

Naturally, it’s inside Dugu Nian, who is now the Hall Master of Sky Swallowing Palace.

The establishment of Sky Swallowing Palace was not without the secret aid of Great Sage Equal to Heaven; he knew everything about it.

At this moment, Great Sage Equal to Heaven left Ancient Demon Ridge and headed straight to Sky Swallowing Palace without stopping.

The masked people of Sky Swallowing Palace were quite familiar with Great Sage Equal to Heaven; upon seeing him, they just bowed in greeting.

“What brings Demon Saint here?” Dugu Nian, with her flowing red hair, looked at Great Sage Equal to Heaven expectantly.

Scratching his monkey head, Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, “That lad’s body is almost restored. I’m here to retrieve his soul so that it can return to his body in Ancient Demon Ridge.”

“That would be very good,” Dugu Nian said with a smile, her expression joyful.

Heaven knows how excited she was inside, but she was no longer her past self, and even if she was excited, she wouldn’t show it excessively.

Great Sage Equal to Heaven nodded, “No delay, let’s retrieve the soul now.”

Dugu Nian naturally had no objections. In front of all the masked people, Great Sage Equal to Heaven extracted Fang Lin’s soul from Dugu Nian’s body.

A flickering flame hovered in Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s hand, within which a tiny figure, Fang Lin, resided.

As Fang Lin’s soul was drawn out, Dugu Nian’s complexion grew even paler; she had already severed half of her own soul, and now with Great Sage Equal to Heaven extracting Fang Lin’s soul, it naturally caused her damage as well.

“Sigh, this soul injury of yours is not light,” Great Sage Equal to Heaven stored Fang Lin’s soul and frowned as he looked at Dugu Nian.
