Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Mountain Sea Realm.

Since the ancient war, the Human Clan completely occupied the prime lands of this realm, dividing into the Five Continents, gaining the creations of heaven and earth.

The Demon Clan retreated, residing in corners, either in the Million Mountains or the Endless Demon Sea, and some lingered in vast deserts just to survive.

But the true owners of this realm are in an even more miserable state.

They were forced from the bountiful Five Continents to the most barren and desolate wilderness.

These beings are the Savage Beasts!

They do not practice Primordial Technique nor absorb Qi; on one hand, it’s said they align with the natural Dao, but on the other, they act purely on instinct.

Their cultivation speed is incredibly slow, focusing on refining themselves. If they live long enough, they can gradually grow to unimaginable levels.

That is breaking through the world’s shackles, reaching a Realm unattainable by human and demon cultivators alike!

Void Refining Stage!

Like Luo Chen previously saw in the Soul Hanging Wilderness, and the original owner of the inner core, Mirage Dragon, they at least have the Sixth-Order Level.

This is the limit of this world!

Relying solely on postnatal cultivation is difficult; only beings like Savage Beasts, the favored of the world, aligning with the natural Dao, can barely achieve it.

Luo Chen was originally not afraid that the wilderness would have Sixth-Order Savage Beasts.

These heavenly favored beings cannot exist in large numbers; the emergence of a single Soul Hanging Wilderness is the limit.

Moreover, according to historical records, the Savage Beasts defeated into the wilderness back then were merely supporting roles under the grand stage of the ancient human and demon war. Only three to four thousand years have passed now, they could not have grown to the Sixth-Order Level.

But to be safe, he still brought along the Four Great Guardian Spirit Beasts!

Not only that, he passed down a Fifth-Order Array from the ”Stone Chamber Immortal Mechanism”.

The array is named ”Four Saints Array”, derived from the idea of four holy beasts united in array formation, but it’s inherently incomplete.

Luo Chen himself edited and adjusted it, and supplemented its weaknesses to create the ”Four Spirits Array”, seamlessly tailored for Black King and the others to use.

This journey, Luo Chen’s goal is simple.

To hunt one or two Fifth-Order Savage Beasts, use their heart blood essence to cultivate the Demonheart Tree.

With the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, coupled with the time flow speed of the Secret Realm before it’s completely vanished, perhaps he could bear a fruit before his Ascension.

At that time, with his Divinity Transformation Realm complementing the Ancient Wilderness Fifth-Order physical body, Ascension would be more assured.

...

A year later.

Within Kun Mang Ancient Forest.

Under the blazing sun, the heat steamed and the space seemed distorted.

The roar of angry beasts continued to echo within.

In response, were four other roaring sounds.

On the ground, Xuan Turtle stood tall with four pillars, the filthy Ming Shui rolling forth.

Black King bared his claws, repeatedly charging at the massive creature in the center.

Tian Xuan soared in the sky, occasionally shooting down thousands of arrow feathers.

Kong Chan also revealed his terrifying eight-hundred-zhang form, tentacles filled with mouths covering the sky, tightly binding the massive creature.

Not only that, Kong Chan, as the main array master of the Four Spirits Array, used himself as a center, drawing the power of the other three beasts, forming a barrier.

The Four Spirits Barrier, sealing heaven and locking earth!

Their target was only one.

That colossal creature trapped in the center!

This being was quite peculiar, shaped like a pig, sounded like a dog’s bark; though its body was large, its overall shape appeared rather slender.

Especially between its four legs, sweeping occasionally, stirring sharp windstorms, even the tentacles of Kong Chan’s body were cut on contact.

With the power of the Four Great Guardian Spirit Beasts, they still couldn’t suppress this beast.

”According to the records, this beast should be Cabinet Raccoon, considered a relatively weak Savage Beast, but with extremely strong survival ability, especially adept at escape techniques. Its food is shelled demon beasts, enjoys devouring shells to enhance its defensive capabilities. If it weren’t attracted by Xuan Turtle this time, it wouldn’t have been so easy to step into the trap.”

In the void, Luo Chen stood on the Flying Shuttle, looking at this scene with delight.

Gu Caiyi stood beside him, showing confusion, ”If it’s weak, how does Cabinet Raccoon grow to the Fifth-Order Level?”

Luo Chen chuckled, ”Weakness is not a barrier to survival; ignorance is. You and I, who among us hasn’t grown step by step from the weakest Qi Refinement Stage? Without self-awareness, we would’ve recklessly died under the storm of the Immortal Cultivation World. This truth applies to Savage Beasts too.”

After hearing this, Gu Caiyi agreed quite much.

Even top Great Desolate Shenlong can fall due to arrogance, ultimately perishing in Zhongzhou land, its inner core made by Tianyuan Daoist Sect into Cave Heaven Secret Realm for disciples to train.

On the other hand, beings like Cabinet Raccoon, though weak, mastering life-preserving skills, retreating immediately when the situation is unfavorable, naturally cautious and modest, have endured over the long ages to reach the Fifth-Order Level.

”But they dwelled long in the harsh wilderness, haven’t dealt with cunning humans for a long time, they aren’t so alert anymore.” Luo Chen said slowly, eyes full of certainty.

Gu Caiyi worriedly asked, ”After all, this beast is Fifth-Order, can Black King and the others capture it?”

Fifth-Order Savage Beasts, even without practicing Primordial Technique nor understanding the Dao, naturally grasp part of the Law’s True Intent due to aligning with nature.

Such beings exist almost indistinguishable in power from Divine Transformation Great Powers!

The Four Spirits Array alone cannot trap Cabinet Raccoon!

The Cabinet Raccoon’s true caution lies in Luo Chen who stands in the void.

In its eyes, the threatening source is that human being like an ant.

”Roar!”

With a roar, Cabinet Raccoon swept its long tail, shaking the entire Kun Mang Ancient Forest.

Vast stretches of thousand-year ancient wood fell like dominoes.

Xuan Turtle was hit first, its entire body flipped over.
