Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Sea of Stars, Land of Starfall.

He wondered what kind of place could live up to such a name.

...

It was fast indeed!

After leaving the Corpse Remains Immortal Domain, it took only half a year to reach the destination.

Sea of Stars!

It was called a sea, yet there was no ocean.

Instead, the land was barren and desolate.

All along the way, massive craters dotted the wilderness, a shocking sight.

Those were meteor craters!

Huge pits formed by falling stars.

Occasionally, there were remnants of stars, but no sign of life remained.

The only beautiful scene in this area might be the dazzling starry sky after nightfall!

Under the night sky.

Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of a crater, looking up at the starry sky.

In his life, he had never seen such a beautiful sight.

Brilliant stars were suspended overhead, so close they seemed within reach.

So close, and so beautiful.

So beautiful that one dared not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the immortals within the stars.

But in fact, everyone knew there were no immortals among the stars, not even normal creatures.

Indeed, who knows when these stars might fall.

”Will they really fall?” Luo Chen asked softly.

Yuan Qingzang nodded: ”Yes, these stars are already on the verge of breaking and are so close to the Returning Ruins, they fall from time to time. It is said that when all things return to ruins, even the three suns will extinguish.”

Luo Chen remained silent.

In the face of such cosmic power, even someone as strong as him felt a touch of insignificance.

Yuan Qingzang looked around, sighing: ”Starfall is beautiful, but it cannot compare to the powerful energy unleashed when the stars shatter upon impact. This energy is unique to this region, so someone established a Daoist lineage here, passing it down through generations.”

”Are you talking about the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect?”

”Yes.”

The Myriad Phenomena Star Sect, a name that sounded ordinary.

If placed in the Mountain Sea Realm where sects are numerous, it is nothing special.

But in the Returning Ruins, it appears quite unique.

The beings here either cluster together in tribes for warmth or rely on fortresses for survival, and even powerful entities like the corpses wander alone.

Only in the Sea of Stars is there a sect force.

Luo Chen didn’t know the reason for their Daoist lineage, but being able to compare with the Great Desolation Realm and Sky Wind Department, becoming one of the three major Human Clan gathering places, they must have something unique.

Seeing Luo Chen eager to give it a try, Yuan Qingzang had already guessed his intentions, and couldn’t help but show a helpless expression.

”You want to go and take a look again?”

”Of course!”

Luo Chen said naturally.

He had more to say, which was that he had been thinking about the follow-up of the ”God Demon Formless” cultivation technique these days.

Thinking while traveling was inevitably inefficient.

A stable foothold would help spark his mind.

This time, Yuan Qingzang no longer dissuaded him.

He had witnessed Luo Chen’s martial arts talent of combining three forms, he had seen Luo Chen receive the stunning power of Corpse Immortal’s finger head-on, and with such an unrestrained and arrogant mindset, he naturally knew he couldn’t be swayed.

Moreover.

Even if the Star Sect Master Heavenly Xuan Constellations were present, he would likely treat Luo Chen with courtesy.

However, what was both disappointing and relieving happened.

Heavenly Xuan Constellations wasn’t in the sect!

Not only that, in the grand Star Sect, not a single Martial Arts Human Immortal was present.

Welcoming the two of them were a group of martial artists in the Leakless Realm.

”The ancestors all left a hundred years ago and have not sent back any news since, even the master who had just become a Human Immortal Realm, followed the footsteps of the ancestors.”

The newly appointed Star Sect Master said so.

Facing the straightforward and well-mannered Star Sect Master, Luo Chen did not make things difficult, he just made a request.

”Where is the best place for stargazing?”

The current Star Sect Master hesitated, but faced with the powerful Luo Chen and the others, he eventually personally extended an invitation.

”This way, sir.”

Through pavilions and towers, across layers of steps.

In a daze, it seemed he was back in the Luotian Sect of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Until all the buildings vanished beneath them, stepping onto a high platform where the sky wind howled, facing the stars hanging high above, Luo Chen finally returned to his senses.

”This place is called Ziwei Yuan, the beginning of all phenomena, the head of all stars, it was the place where the ancestor once gazed at the stars. Next to it are Taiwei Yuan and Heavenly Market Wall, if you have any needs, you may direct us to assist at those two places.”

Luo Chen stood on the high platform, his gaze swept over, he was quite satisfied.

”Let it be here then!”

The Star Sect Master was relieved and immediately took his leave.

After he left, Yuan Qingzang couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration.

”Truly martial artists trained by a sect, though their realm is not high, they face us gracefully, without immediately resorting to threats or violence.”

He seemed to recall when he and Green Robe from the Pit of Sorrow first met Luo Chen, they both thought to fight before talking, to assert dominance first.

That was the normal law of the jungle.

But it was not a wise approach.

Luo Chen smiled, also greatly appreciating the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect’s training of its disciples.

But that smile dimmed instantly when he thought of the Returning Ruins.

If in the outer world, such disciples, such a sect ethos, the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect would certainly last for a long time.

But this is the Returning Ruins!

”So, whether it’s the ancestor Heavenly Xuan Constellations, or all the Martial Arts Human Immortals, they all left the sect to seek their own paths when the great calamity was approaching.”

With a sigh, Luo Chen took out a mat, placed it on the high platform, and sat down cross-legged.

”Alright, you can go, I have something to do here.”

Yuan Qingzang did not entangle further, he too had to continue studying the Martial Arts Divine Power of Three Forms Combined.

After he left, Luo Chen adjusted his mindset slightly.
