Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1737: Chapter 638: You Have No Choice, I Will Let You Die with Some Dignity

Luo Chen’s confusion came quickly and went quickly.

This was related to his character.

Pragmatic!

No matter how long the journey is, as long as he walks step by step with diligence, there will eventually be a day of arrival.

Along the way, many problems will inevitably be encountered.

These problems are like scenery that can be remembered in the heart, but there’s no need to be immersed in them.

Unless these problems completely block his path forward, he rarely gets stuck in them.

Beside the Cold Abyss Pool, apart from the major issue of ”the higher the realm, the more flaws”, Luo Chen indeed found three issues limiting his current fighting power.

In fact, these problems are not troublesome at all for the general Golden Core Cultivators.

Because none would consider Great Cultivators or even Nascent Soul True Masters of a higher realm as imaginary foes every day.

Moreover, Luo Chen himself possesses capabilities enough to crush Early Stage, Middle Stage, and even Late-Stage Golden Core Great Cultivators without falling behind.

He simply wants to ”progress further”.

According to Luo Chen’s thoughts, if he could solve the current three issues, he might truly dominate the same realm!

Even if he encountered an ambush set by the Hundred Craft Mountain Master again, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing.

”Technique, Magic Item, developing Physique...”

Luo Chen murmured, as if his mind was a tangled mess with no starting point.

His gaze instinctively fell at his feet, on the Array Flag he had planted into the solid ground.

A thread seemed to be drawn out of the tangled mess.

...

On Purple Spirit Island, beside what was once the Fourth-Order Purple Monkey Flower growing on the cliff, there was no longer the sight of the flower swaying in the wind, but now stood a simple Cave Mansion.

After all, the place could support the growth of a Fourth-Order Spirit Plant, and the quality of the Spirit Qi in this area was barely at an initial Third Order level.

Unlike human Immortal Cultivators or Demon Beasts, the growth places for Spirit Plants require Spirit Qi concentration, but not as high.

Before gaining Spirit Intelligence, Spirit Plants absorb Heaven and Earth Qi unconsciously, and some Spirit Plants don’t rely on Spirit Qi to grow at all.

They value more the essential transformation brought by the passage of time under heaven and earth.

Of course, this mode of growth results in Spirit Plants having high Orders, even up to Fourth or Fifth Order, yet their battle strength is extremely low.

The Withered Bloodvine is such, and so is the Purple Monkey Flower.

However, at least this Spirit Vein can support Luo Chen’s daily cultivation in the short term.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Two items were placed in front of Luo Chen.

A dark green ring and a jade box.

The ring was the Spatial Storage Ring of the Hundred Craft Mountain Master, and besides the precious items that fell on Purple Spirit Island during the previous battle, the lifetime accumulation of the Hundred Craft Mountain Master should be inside.

It’s possible that the person traveled light, leaving most of his wealth at the Hundred Creations Sect.

Luo Chen carefully inspected the ”code” on the dark green ring, which was rather complex.

It not only had a regular Divine Consciousness prohibition, Qi Power imprint, but also Blood Drop Recognition.

With such specifications, it’s evident that this ring itself is an extraordinary Magic Item.

The latter two are easy to clear; even Blood Drop Recognition can be removed effortlessly as long as the Hundred Craft Mountain Master completely dies.

Only the Divine Consciousness prohibition is quite troublesome.

The Hundred Craft Mountain Master is not only a formidable Tool Casting Master but also a skillful Array Master.

This can be seen from the array he arranged on Seven Star Island, specifically targeting his strong physique.

Therefore, the Divine Consciousness prohibition on his storage ring was laid out intricately.

With Luo Chen’s Divine Soul Endowment and prohibition proficiency, considering breaking it, he estimated it would take at least three to four years of effort.

As for the jade box...

Luo Chen’s eyes flashed, and he struck a strand of Qi Power onto the jade box.

Immediately, the densely packed prohibitions sealing the jade box collapsed layer by layer like dominoes.

Spirit Light burst forth, revealing a dim Golden Core.

”Friend, it’s been a while.”

The Golden Core spun around and wobbled before finally falling back into the jade box.

Throughout this process, Luo Chen watched coldly, sensing something within his heart.

Before advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, the cultivator’s Divine Soul relies on the Sea of Consciousness for existence, even if Divine Consciousness is externalized, it is but a small offshoot.

Once the physical body is destroyed, the Divine Soul loses its anchor.

Unless completely transformed into Ghost Cultivator resentment, otherwise it will be obliterated when exposed to blazing sun or other fierce attacks.

Yet, this limitation is not entirely unsolvable.

The Golden Core Period is such a transition phase.

The Golden Core is condensed from pure Qi Power.

And Qi Power is formed from the cultivator’s refined Pure Spirit Power merged with the Divine Soul’s influence.

From this perspective, the Golden Core of a cultivator already possesses a slight Divine Soul attribute.

When a Golden Core Cultivator’s physical body collapses, the remaining Golden Core can serve as a raft over the sea, carrying the cultivator’s Divine Soul.

However, this raft cannot be compared to a Nascent Soul, as it’s too small to cross the bitter sea, and its carrying capacity is extremely short-lived.

Moreover, without further Qi Power supplement, the original Qi Power of the Golden Core will gradually dissipate, forcing the Divine Soul within to eventually face the blazing sun.

”I wonder if I reach this point, how much my Golden Core could protect my shattered soul?”

The thought flashed past, and Luo Chen looked again at the dim Golden Core.

”Master, why go through the trouble?”

A faint Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission emanated mystically from the Golden Core.

”Twenty years of pursuit, today become a Lower Order Prisoner, what a troubled journey indeed.”
