Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Bikong Golden Domain, a land of absolute solitude.

The Black Clothed Daoist sat cross-legged before the Golden Tiger, whose Primordial Spirit had already been condensed, as his Divine Perception slowly submerged into the sea of consciousness of the giant golden tiger.

During this process, the Demon Beast in front of him instinctively resisted; however, under the powerful Divine Perception of Luo Chen, it was utterly powerless to resist.

At long last, Luo Chen once again touched the depths of Di Tu’s soul.

There, a faint green mark flickered in and out of existence, seemingly on the verge of disappearing, yet persistently resilient.

Upon seeing the green mark, Luo Chen couldn’t help but praise.

”No wonder it’s a slave mark left by the Divine Transformation Great Power, Chun Yuan. Even after a hundred years, it still exists. Truly tenacious beyond compare!”

Di Tu, child of the Ancient Demon.

Years ago, during the failed negotiations between the Human and Demon Clans of the Bikong Domain, after a great battle, the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian perished.

At the moment of his demise, his immense Qi Power swept the surroundings, obliterating everything in the Bikong Domain.

Yet only his progeny survived.

Not only that, Di Tu has been dormant here for over a hundred years, continuously absorbing the residual power of the Ancient Demon.

Unfortunately, the Bikong Domain is deep within the Eastern Wasteland’s Human Clan territory. How could they allow something to slumber and absorb power at their bedside?

A Great Power, Chun Yuan, from Zhongzhou discovered this place.

Chun Yuan could have easily exterminated it, but probably because she coveted a seed of the Ancient Demon, she didn’t resort to a killing blow. She merely left a slave mark, intending to recruit it into her sect upon its awakening.

However, Chun Yuan herself likely did not anticipate her own demise at Soulbreak Cliff.

Originally, according to Luo Chen’s calculations, with Chun Yuan’s death, the carefully arranged slave mark should have gradually faded with time.

But now, upon seeing it, it is clear that Chun Yuan’s expertise in this area is not something time can easily erase.

Or rather, not something that a hundred years alone can accomplish.

After observing for a long while, Luo Chen already had a plan in mind.

”Indeed, it is a Divine Perception-constructed slave mark, so even if only a single thought remains, it still endures, timeless and unmarred.”

”In hindsight, not recklessly attempting to shatter this slave mark with strong Divine Soul Power was wise. Otherwise, with a single misstep, Di Tu might have perished.”

”Not only that, there remains a trace of Wood Origin Power within the slave mark.”

”Disassembling a Divine Perception slave mark isn’t too difficult for me now, as for this Wood Origin Power...”

Luo Chen squinted his eyes, pondering deeply.

After several days, Luo Chen’s spirit revived.

He cautiously positioned his hand in mid-air above Di Tu’s head, a wisp of green power slowly exhaling.

Luo Chen’s power was a Fire Type Spirit Power honed over centuries, domineering and fierce, with immense destructive potential. Yet this green power was exceptionally gentle, making one feel like they were in a spring breeze. The two powers seemed incompatible, but as Luo Chen utilized them together, there was no sense of discord.

It’s simply a matter of converting the power attribute; not difficult for him.

The challenge was that Luo Chen’s power did not contain Fire Origin Power, but rather the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing.

The surroundings were filled with Metal Attribute Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, so for Luo Chen to continually employ his Withering and Flourishing Power, he had to rely entirely on his own foundation.

”Bit by bit then!”

”With my persistent erosion, it won’t take years to completely eradicate Chun Yuan’s slave mark.”

”By then, I will possess a Fourth Order Great Demon Emperor wielding Gold Origin Power. This will undoubtedly be a tremendous boost in my campaign on Zhongzhou!”

...

Within the Bikong Golden Domain, time seemed to slow, with everything in a state of calm neutrality.

However, outside, the entire Eastern Wasteland was abuzz.

As Little White and the Black King delivered invitations to all the major mountain gates, a rumor quickly spread.

[Alchemy Sect Luo Chen, Shouyang Discourse]

This news, whether it’s the name Alchemy Sect Luo Chen, or the once illustrious Shouyang Discourse from the Human and Demon War, both commands immense fame.

Combined, they carry even more weight.

And the true reason behind the excitement in the Eastern Wasteland, there’s only one!

Opportunity for God Transformation!

It is said that Alchemy Sect Luo Chen will discuss and share experiences on breaking through to the Divine Transformation Stage with all Nascent Soul True Masters at the Shouyang Mountain Discourse Assembly.

This seems somewhat laughable, considering that Luo Chen has not yet advanced to Divine Transformation himself!

But let’s not forget the name ”Alchemy Sect”!

If he has concocted some kind of Divine Elixir that aids in breaking through to the Divine Transformation Stage, it is highly plausible.

Especially a hundred years ago, when the Alchemy Sect generously provided ten Nascent Soul Formation Pills in one go, allowing the major sects of the Eastern Wasteland to recuperate after their post-war decrease in top-tier power, which was a clear testament.

The Alchemy Sect’s reputation in crafting Breakthrough Elixirs is already well established.

One could say that whether through the vast connections Luo Chen established as a High-Order Alchemist in the past, the favor granted a hundred years ago with the Nascent Soul Formation Pills, or the Immortal Cultivators’ fervent pursuit of the Opportunity for God Transformation, all have countless Eastern Wilderness Strongmen flocking excitedly towards Lingtian Pass.

Shouyang Mountain is right within Lingtian Pass.

This area has always been a core zone of the East Desolate Immortal World!

The junction alone covers five Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects and gleamed brilliantly during the two-hundred-year Human-Demon War like a giant reef firmly halting the demon clan’s torrent beneath Lingtian Pass.

Even after the war, Lingtian Pass remained and became increasingly prosperous.

The permanent population alone exceeds one million.

Bear in mind, these people are bona fide Immortal Cultivators, not mere mortals.

Even ordinary Immortal Cities typically have only tens of thousands, up to several tens of thousands of cultivators, but Lingtian Pass boasts several million Immortal Cultivators, making it a Super Immortal City!
