Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On his journey, Luo Chen made countless enemies.

However, as his power grew, most of his enemies were killed by his own hands, and those who survived merely escaped by chance.

Among them were the two Great Demon Emperors: Bull Demon and Bi Zheng!

Back then, they allied with Huang Man against Luo Chen, forcing him into a dire situation, and even had Qing Shuang bring him to Cangwu Mountain to hand over the pill formula for the Harmonization Pill.

Luo Chen has always remembered this grudge.

Who would have thought that fate would play such tricks, and now they are under Luo Chen’s management?

”I wonder how they would react if they knew about this?”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, his eyes glinting with dangerous light.

But in a flash, Luo Chen was filled with some doubts.

Juan Kuang and Bull Demon could be lowered to a minor concern. These two demons were formerly under the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, and after Di Tian fell, they yielded to Cangwu Mountain without surprise.

But Bi Zheng?

”I remember he was close to Ao Kuang, the overlord of the Wolf Race, so why did he join Cangwu Mountain? Just because his true form has traces of the bloodline of the ancient fierce bird Bi Fang, he submits to the Yu Race Sacred Land?”

Luo Chen shook his head, unwilling to ponder over the internal power shifts among the Demon Clan.

He swiftly scanned the light curtain, memorizing the names of familiar and unfamiliar Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.

Thunder Prison Divine Roc, He Qingzi, White Crane King, Daoist Xue Jiu... Ye Xingtong, Han Shanque, Bai Mei Immortal Ape

Altogether, there were twenty-five Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators!

Those familiar names were regulars at Cangwu Mountain. As for the rest, Luo Chen had heard of them to some extent during the nearly two-century-long Human and Demon War in the Eastern Wasteland.

They have always been rulers of their regions.

In the past, they were under the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, but after Di Tian’s fall, like Bull Demon and Juan Kuang, they all sought refuge with the Cangwu Mountain Holy Land.

However, Qi Xia Emperor presumably looked down on these vassals, as evidenced by her solo confrontations with the Holy Land.

Now, those Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators who once clamored for battle are all under Luo Chen’s control!

In the midst of it all, a sense of absurdity rose briefly.

”Even I find it absurd. If they knew, who knows what kind of controversy it would stir.”

Luo Chen suppressed the idea of summoning these demon cultivators to announce his presence and also tucked the demon cultivator list deep into his storage ring.

The Lord of Transmitting Truth Hall position was given to him by Qi Xia Emperor, and he could not refuse it.

But the power of the Transmitting Truth Hall Lord was something Luo Chen dared not openly display unless absolutely necessary.

Whether it’s the Demon Clan or the East Desolate Human Clan, he was in an embarrassingly awkward position at this spot.

Similarly, that ceasefire treaty wasn’t something his current prestige was enough to sign on behalf of the East Desolate Human Clan.

”They’ll be tokens for future contingencies!”

Luo Chen sighed and carefully stored away the scroll.

Finally, Luo Chen’s attention fell on the Glazed Fire Umbrella, bestowed upon him by Qi Xia Emperor.

”Blood Jade Three Flame Umbrella, Pseudo-Spirit Treasure Rank.”

As he muttered the name, he rubbed the warm glazed fan handle, cautiously channeling Qi Power.

The moment the two merged, there was momentary resistance, but the Qi Power soon flowed effortlessly into it.

Youquan had not deceived him.

During the crafting of this fan, a trace of the Fire Origin had indeed been integrated.

Was it from Qi Xia Emperor?

Luo Chen rubbed the fire fan, his eyelids lowered, lost in thought.

...

Days later.

Three figures emerged from the Transmitting Truth Hall, boarded an ordinary Magical Treasure Flying Boat, and with a slight circle, flew westward, vanishing into the horizon.

On the mountain peak where Zhukong Hall of Cangwu Mountain was located.

Two gazes watched the Flying Boat’s distant figure, the atmosphere slightly oppressive.

Finally, Youquan couldn’t hold back any longer.

”Qing Shuang, are you really going to let him leave so easily?”

Qing Shuang’s expression remained indifferent, her voice crisp and clear, ”We can’t keep him.”

Youquan frowned, ”But you’re bound to live and die with him. What if he unfortunately falls while on an adventure? In my opinion, it’s better to forcefully keep him in Cangwu Mountain to help him break through Divine Transformation, and then remove the Life and Death Gu. That way, you would have nothing to worry about.”

Qing Shuang shook her head, yet she didn’t explain the reason in detail.

Luo Chen staying at Cangwu Mountain could not break through to the God Transformation Realm.

”Hmph!”

Youquan snorted coldly and shifted the topic, looking upward, at the majestic palace towering in the Nine Heavens.

”How is Lord Yuanjun’s health?”

The words carried a hint of concern.

Qing Shuang’s expression darkened, but then she mustered her spirit and said, ”You needn’t worry. With my sister’s astonishing abilities, no one in the Mountain Sea Realm can threaten her.”

Can no one really threaten Qi Xia Emperor?

Whether it’s the Sealing Soul Array of the Soul Refining Elder of the North Sea Primordial Demon Sect, or the Heavenly Tribulation summoned by Ancestor Tianyuan of the Dark Abyss Sect as he sacrificed everything before his death, each brought immense trouble for Qi Xia Emperor.

Especially in the battle against Tianyuan Daoist Sect, the descent of God Transformation Realm cultivators from the Upper Realm was like rain, and the Five Elders of Tianyuan awakened a Void Refining Stage Ancient Desolate Beast, almost causing Qi Xia Emperor to perish in the Netherworld Sea.

After consecutive fierce battles, the current state of the Emperor might not be as good as imagined.

Youquan was filled with worry within, unable to hide the concern on his face.

Qing Shuang took a deep breath, ”From now on, it’s up to me!”

Youquan was stunned, vaguely realizing something, but still couldn’t help but ask:

”What are you going to do?”

”This realm suppresses my sister too much. To be unimpeded, the only way is to ascend to the Upper Realm. And since my sister is not a native Divine Transformation, she cannot pull the Spirit Mechanism for Ascension, so... I must achieve Divine Transformation!”
