Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 2093: Chapter 768: Daoist Body Awakens, Law Transforms

”In that case, let’s leave it at that.”

Luo Chen cupped his hands respectfully, sincerely thanking the other party.

”Earlier, you spoke up for me with righteous words; this kindness, I have noted down.”

Elder Qideng managed a smile, those little favors were of no great use.

Yet Luo Chen’s words were not finished.

”Just now, you mentioned that my status as a guest elder could be elevated to an official guest elder, is this true?”

Elder Qideng simply replied with a ’Hmm,’ but was not as enthusiastic as before.

”If you can still provide precious elixirs like the Tianji Pill, I will certainly assist you.”

Clearly, it was impossible!

Even if Luo Chen had a Law Extension Pill more precious than the Tianji Pill, he would absolutely not bring it out.

Perhaps realizing his tone was somewhat stiff, Elder Qideng adjusted his demeanor slightly and curiously asked: ”Actually, given your age, isn’t the status of guest elder at the Star Gate less significant?”

”Personally, it’s not that important; a piece of Spirit Land and a Cave Mansion are enough. But...”

Luo Chen nodded, then changed his tone.

”But I am not entirely alone, I have Dao Companion disciples, spiritual pets, and servants who also need a place to settle.”

Ah, so that’s how it is.

True Master Qideng instantly understood the other party’s intention.

The official guest elder of Star Gate does have some authority compared to the external affairs guest elder.

One of these privileges is to bring close ones into the Star Gate.

Even if they don’t cultivate at Heaven and Earth Peak, the Daoist Sect can plan a territory for them to reside.

Moreover, if Luo Chen remains at the Star Gate for five hundred years, his descendants will have the opportunity to cultivate at Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Clearly, Luo Chen’s pursuit of official guest elder status is considering this aspect.

True Master Qideng pondered, and perhaps considering the potential Luo Chen had shown at such a young age, a potential not inferior to Tianyuan Succession, decided to extend a favor by revealing some inside information.

”This matter is not hard; you are unable to become an official guest elder because you are too young and have no notable achievements.”

”Currently, there is an excellent opportunity for you to use your achievements to become an official guest elder.”

An excellent opportunity!

Luo Chen was taken aback, recalling something.

Before entering Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, through Elder Qideng’s introduction, he met Hui Yuanhong, who indeed filled the vacancy left by the Ascension of the Alchemy Saint, becoming one of the Nineteen Elders of Heaven and Earth Peak.

At that time, the other party, in an attempt to win over Luo Chen, also said similar words.

Saying that his arrival was timely.

And now, Elder Qideng said the same.

”I wonder, what is this opportunity?”

Elder Qideng took a deep breath and instead of speaking, used Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission.

”Tianyuan Daoist Sect has decided that after Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven closes, they will set out to attack the North Sea and West Desert regions. The former is to conquer the North Sea Immortal Cultivation World and incorporate it into Tianyuan’s territory. You hail from the North Sea, so you must be quite familiar with that place. When the time comes, you can follow the Tianyuan Army to the North Sea, aiding Tianyuan in capturing cities and expanding territories. With your capabilities, so-called achievements will definitely be at your fingertips.”

”By then, with your meritorious status, I will speak for you at Star Gate, and Fu Qinglan from Daoist Sect surely won’t hesitate to compliment you.”

”In this way, not only the official guest elder status but also the sacrificial official position will be easily attainable.”

After speaking, Elder Qideng had nothing more to say and left somewhat dispiritedly.

After he left, Luo Chen furrowed his brows.

He had long anticipated the possibility of Tianyuan Daoist Sect deploying forces against the North Sea.

But should he return to the North Sea?

...

Since Luo Chen exited the Cave Heaven, the passage of time seemed to slow down.

It’s not the change in lifespan, but waiting often makes one feel as though years are passing by!

The grand competition continued.

As long as the true disciples inside haven’t emerged or perished, it must continue.

After calculating briefly, those inside could persist for at least fifty more years, which would take half a year in the outer world.

Only when everyone has emerged will the so-called competition rankings be evaluated, determining the sect’s rewards.

But no matter what, Fu Qinglan, the first to comprehend the Law’s True Intent and emerge early, was undoubtedly the first-place winner!

This also signifies that Luo Chen has perfectly, even beyond expectations, fulfilled his promise to Fu Chaosheng.

Simultaneously, it signifies that Luo Chen has no lingering concerns in Zhongzhou anymore!

Regarding Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s expedition to the North Sea, expansion of territories, Luo Chen privately pondered seriously, realizing it was indeed a good opportunity for him.

He’s not unfamiliar with the North Sea. There are still many entanglements unresolved.

If he joins the army as a Guest Elder of the Star Gate, he can accomplish two goals at once.

But before that, he still plans to return to the Eastern Wasteland, bringing those fading memories back to Zhongzhou.

The departure date, Luo Chen has basically decided.

The end of the competition will be the time he leaves Zhongzhou to return to the Eastern Wasteland.

Currently, the events in the Outer World, and the discussion around Luo Chen and Fu Qinglan, have nothing to do with him.

All alone, he’s quietly cultivating in Cave Mansion No. 78 on Heaven and Earth Peak.

Just like he demonstrated before Elder Qideng, his cultivation level is indeed at the Third Level of Nascent Soul.

But unlike Elder Qideng thought, it’s not just the initial Third Level!

His realm has advanced quite rapidly!

Originally, he’d been hovering at the peak of the First Level of Nascent Soul for a long time, even suppressing his cultivation with Withering and Flourishing Divine Prohibition.

After entering the Cave Heaven, it was only a few years before he naturally advanced to the Second Level of Nascent Soul.

In the following decades, he basically consolidated his realm.

Logically, at this level, Luo Chen would be satisfied.

But during a sudden enlightenment, he entered deep into the Primordial Energy Ocean of this world, comprehending the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing, and received a boost of Yuan Qi.

This was the original source of this world!

The collection of Spirit Qi!

Even if an ordinary person receives a boost of Yuan Qi, due to differences in cultivation technique attributes, they can’t perfectly refine it, only absorbing a part of it.

However, Luo Chen absorbed eighty to ninety percent!

The massive Yuan Qi directly pushed his realm to the Third Level of Nascent Soul, even briefly climbing towards the Fourth Level!

Initially, Luo Chen thought this was due to the advancement of Prosperity and Decline True Fire to the Fifth Order, but later realized it was due to his unique physique.

At this moment, Luo Chen looked at the attribute on the Attribute Panel, the term ”Wuling Dao Body” beside Fire Spirit Body, quietly emitting a faint glow.

”Why is it shining?”

”Is it due to comprehending the Law’s True Intent?”

”But my True Intent of Withering and Flourishing, which is also a Fire Attribute Law’s True Intent, shouldn’t... huh?”

In the Cave Mansion, Luo Chen displayed a rare surprised expression.

This was the first time he opened the Attribute Panel after the sudden enlightenment.

Originally, he wanted to check his true condition through the panel data, curious why the Wuling Dao Body had suddenly awakened.

But the changes in the panel were quite unexpected.

Besides a new attribute entry [Law], the prefix under [True Intent of Withering and Flourishing] wasn’t Fire, but Wood!

Such a situation truly caught Luo Chen off guard.

Since the Golden Core Period, after transforming his Natal Qi Technique to Fire Attribute, he’d discarded all other attributes for over 160 years, focusing solely on the path of Fire.

Logically, the Law’s True Intent he comprehends should be a Fire Attribute.

Yet, the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing is indeed classified as Wood Attribute on the Attribute Panel.

Luo Chen might be mistaken, but the Attribute Panel has never erred.

So why is this situation happening?

Luo Chen contemplated deeply.

”Is it because during Qi refining and Foundation Establishment I primarily cultivated the Wood Attribute? Rooted in Wood?”

”Or did I get influenced by Fu Qinglan in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, perceiving the Origin of Wood?”

”Or maybe, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire itself has attributes, classified under Wood?”

”If it’s truly so, categorizing True Intent of Withering and Flourishing as Wood Attribute can be understood. After all, during comprehension, what I saw and heard were cycles of life and death, growth and decline, unlike the explosive and domineering nature of Fire, more akin to Wood’s withering and flourishing.”

”Thus, the awakening of the Wuling Dao Body can be comprehended; I’ve broken free from the shackles of Fire Spirit Body, comprehending other Law’s True Intents.”

”Does that mean if I can comprehend other attribute Law’s True Intents, the Wuling Dao Body can fully awaken, overshadowing the Fire Spirit Body?”

Faintly, Luo Chen seemed to glimpse a path to reconstructing his Daoist Body.

Even if that path appeared somewhat ephemeral, even far-reaching.

Just as Luo Chen was about to meticulously study the changes in the Attribute Panel to adjust his upcoming cultivation plans, his Cave Mansion welcomed its first visitor.

Luo Chen’s heart stirred, beckoning with a hand, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew inside.

After a moment.

Luo Chen stared with a seemingly indifferent smile at the elderly man with a glowing face before him.

”Daoist Friend Fu, you’ve hidden things so well!”
