Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1799: Chapter 666: The Culprit, Blood Sea Elder Ancestor

”Huff... Hiss...”

A pleasing moan instinctively escaped from the red-robed man’s mouth, drawing sidelong glances from the two people around him.

But they weren’t surprised why Luo Chen would lose composure like this.

Only because, upon stepping into the Blazing Refinement Prison, the surrounding Spirit Qi environment suddenly changed.

No longer was it the knife-sharp chill of the Thousand Peril Mountains, nor the thick earthly restraints of the Quicksand Sea, but instead became scorching, restless, and vibrant.

It was as if even breathing in and out carried sparks!

Such an extreme Spirit Qi environment was naturally unbearable for Tai Sui, who primarily cultivated Wood Type techniques.

But for Luo Chen, who solely cultivated Fire Element Techniques, it was like a fish in water, very comfortable indeed!

Not only him, even the Moyun Cave Lord couldn’t help but stretch his body, instinctively taking a few more breaths, as he also dual-cultivated with Fire Attribute techniques.

In his comfort, Moyun Cave Lord relaxed his mind, inevitably harboring some resentment for Luo Chen’s previous rash actions.

”Why provoke that monster, almost getting us trapped inside.”

”How I act, perhaps isn’t for you to judge, Cave Lord?”

Luo Chen cast a sidelong glance at the other, causing the Moyun Cave Lord’s expression to freeze.

In his heart, a long-suppressed anger seemed on the brink of eruption.

Ever since allying with him, nothing seemed to go smoothly!

First, there was a delay in entering the Oblivion Sea, then conflict with the Ghost Immortal Tower nearly doomed them.

Having hard-earned access to the Land of Fallen Demons, this one even deviously set traps, putting him under the threat of the Fourth Order Exotic Beast Nine Yang Golden Eagle.

The Moyun Cave Lord had been a revered artifact master for many years; when had he endured such humiliation?

Now, inside the Blazing Refinement Prison, he should be in his element, ready to have a good talk!

A streak of white true flame emerged from his body.

Luo Chen glimpsed this, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Just then, a hand was placed on Moyun Cave Lord’s shoulder.

”You’re distracted.”

”I...”

Moyun Cave Lord turned to look at Tai Sui, suddenly startled awake.

And when he looked back at Luo Chen, the cold killing intent emanating from him was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

Indeed, how could he dare to provoke the Demon King Qingyang!

This was a being that had securely escaped even when besieged by the Lord of the Quicksand Sea.

And in recent years, the tales of Demon King Qingyang’s prowess in spell battles at the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering have only grown more legendary, far beyond what he, a Golden Core Seventh Layer cultivator focused on the Path of Tool Casting, could compare.

”Hmph.”

Luo Chen snorted softly, ignoring the Moyun Cave Lord’s petty thoughts, and instead looked at Tai Sui.

”Why does Tianrang persistently pursue the dragon soul coveted by the Mo Luo Sect’s Three Great Golden Cores?”

Tai Sui glanced at Luo Chen’s fingers, where he wore two rings.

One was dark green, the other pitch black.

The Soul Summoning Banner containing the dragon soul was within that black ring.

Tai Sui pondered for a long moment and said, ”This matter, I considered for a long time on the way here and came to a rough guess. I’m not sure of its accuracy, but I can offer it for your reference.”

”We spiritual creatures, though of the Fifth Order, comparable to Divine Transformation, actually lack Divine Transformation’s might. This is because we possess Heaven and Earth Laws but cannot use them skillfully, and even due to our physical limitations, the Power of Laws we have is incomplete.”

Luo Chen furrowed his brows, recalling the Fifth Order Withered Bloodvine on Deadwood Ridge.

At this moment, it seemed precisely as Tai Sui described.

Plants and stones, it’s extremely difficult for them to develop Spirit Intelligence.

Often they reach a very high grade before having a chance to develop Spirit Intelligence.

Compared to the Human Clan, it’s roughly equivalent to having a body with Divine Transformation power, but its Spirit Intelligence is just emerging, like a newborn baby.

Poor control, lack of might, inadequate means... these all describe spiritual monsters.

Their best tactics mainly involve controlling their native land to destroy enemies.

Like how Withered Bloodvine spreads across Deadwood Ridge, or how Tianrang stirs the Quicksand Sea.

”Tianrang’s innate shackles are greater!”

”He was artificially created by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, with immense potential yet great difficulty in utilizing his abilities. Therefore, over the years, he’s been splitting his own body, trying to grasp his power little by little, eventually combining them.”

”Additionally, his Earth Dao Law is also incomplete.”

”From what I observed, that unconscious and incomplete dragon soul was a spiritual monster or desolate beast that had comprehended a certain Earth Element Law in life. Hence, Tianrang wants to devour it to complete himself.”

Tai Sui paused, speaking with a hint of speculation, ”To my knowledge, there wasn’t such a desert expanse in the Quicksand Sea before; it apparently came from the dragon soul’s transformation.”

Luo Chen frowned; when it came to God Transformation Law, his understanding was extremely limited.

Upon hearing this, it felt like falling into clouds and mist, obtaining only a shred of truth.

Thus, he directly targeted the core issue.

”Where does this soul come from?”

”Not from here, it’s an outer entity,” Tai Sui stated firmly.

”An outer entity?” Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.

The Moyun Cave Lord, standing by listening, mused, ”I previously heard Tianrang call it Stone Dragon, a name that somewhat aligns with a legend from our Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering?”

Stone Dragon?

Suddenly, Luo Chen recalled a story told to him years ago by a Golden Core cultivator on Quyang Island.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering base in the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range is rumored to have evolved from the death of an ancient Desolate Beast Stone Dragon.

Later, during the ancient Human-Demon war, the Human Clan established dominance over the Five Continents, with the Yuan Mo Sect forcefully entering the North Sea.

During this process, a Yuan Mo Sect Ancestor of God Transformation passed through the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, extracting the mountain soul to enhance the foundation of Beiji Yemo Tian.
