Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

A white-clothed Daoist sat cross-legged in the void, allowing the surging waves of energy to batter him, yet he remained unmoved.

Suddenly!

The white-clothed Daoist abruptly opened his eyes, as if lightning flashed in the dark chaos.

Facing the chaotic sea, the Daoist slowly threw a punch, lightly exclaiming.

”Kill!”

Endless killing intent gathered, boundless Gang Qi erupted, and the acupoints within his body flickered like stars, finally condensing into a punch.

Boom!

A colossal, tangible Gang Qi fist blasted from the Daoist’s hand, penetrating everything in the visible chaotic sea.

It extended for tens of thousands of feet!

Even where the fist passed, no end could be seen.

It left a stark black passage strikingly standing in the air, as if the sea had been split apart.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, satisfied as he watched the scene.

To conserve Gang Qi, he had only used one-tenth of his strength for that move just now.

But its power was already beyond imagination.

If he unleashed it with full force, it might tear open space cracks in the Mountain Sea Realm, or even with a single punch sink the entire Eastern Wasteland!

Such power had long surpassed that of ordinary Human Immortal martial artists, even reaching that of Divine Transformation great powers.

Could a Void Refining True Monarch be more than this, he wondered?

Luo Chen mused to himself.

His confidence stemmed from the seven hundred and twenty radiant Martial Arts Divine Spirits within him!

In seventy-two years, at a terrifying rate of ten spirits per year, he had finally condensed seven hundred and twenty Martial Arts Divine Spirits.

Only then did his self-created martial art, ”Seven Hundred Spirits Kill,” approach perfection.

And his Martial Arts Realm unconsciously reached the late-stage Human Immortal Realm.

This cultivation progress was equally astonishing.

No matter where it was placed, it was enough to shock the world.

Yet Luo Chen knew that the credit for such a terrifying cultivation speed was due to the Primordial Chaos Tripod and the inexhaustible energy of this chaotic sea!

”If I can get out, restore my Divine Transformation cultivation, and combine it with my current Martial Arts Realm, even facing a Void Refining True Monarch, I would have a thirty percent chance of defending myself.”

”Normal cultivation for two to three hundred years couldn’t achieve this level.”

”In this sense, the Returning Ruins is indeed a Blessed Land for me, Luo Chen.”

Luo Chen recalled the wisp of Calamity Gu’s original source energy left in his Primordial Chaos Tripod by the Youli Divine Monarch years ago.

Back then, before ascending, the Youli Divine Monarch had said that a great calamity would befall him in the future, and that wisp of Calamity Gu might help him fend off some of it.

Subsequent to that, Luo Chen indeed encountered many dangers, but all were transformed into fortune.

Until before his ascension, he never faced a calamity severe enough to stir the Calamity Gu.

He had thought it was merely the Youli Divine Monarch’s unfounded worry.

Unexpectedly, the great calamity originated from the Qi Xia Emperor!

In hindsight, such a prominent figure as the Qi Xia Emperor must have had interactions with the Youli Divine Monarch, and coupled with Luo Chen’s primary cultivation in the ”Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra,” it was possible that the Youli Divine Monarch had already discerned some clues back then, which is why measures were left in place.

Luo Chen’s ability to arrive at the Returning Ruins was likely guided by the final wisp of Calamity Gu’s original source energy.

It truly matched the saying, ”Fortune lies in misfortune, misfortune depends on fortune!”

Of course, all was premised on Luo Chen’s ability to leave the Returning Ruins in the future.

Otherwise, despite having immense power, he would helplessly fall.

Luo Chen sighed, planning to return to Li Chen Island.

On his way back, he casually glanced at the Attribute Panel.

As he expected, the Martial Arts Realm was indeed stabilized at the late-stage Human Immortal. Not only that, due to the realm’s improvement and the growth of the Martial Arts Divine Spirits, even the move ”Heaven and Earth Reversal” appeared in the Martial Arts Divine Power section.

This was indeed an unexpected delight.

Smiling, Luo Chen intended to close the panel, but his peripheral vision froze on one entry.

This was a genuine surprise!
