Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Within each light spot, there sat a ”Luo Chen” cross-legged.

At this moment, as many as seven hundred and twenty Luo Chens simultaneously opened their eyes.

In an instant, seven hundred and twenty currents of Martial Arts Divine Intent emerged simultaneously, accompanied by the explosive eruption of boundless Blood Refining Divine Gang, transforming into a giant blood cloud that enveloped the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Yuan Qingzang gazed at the scene, muttering to himself.

”Is this his full majestic stance?”

Whether it was the battle with him at that time, or taking the Corpse Immortal’s finger head-on, it was merely the tip of the iceberg of Luo Chen’s strength.

Only at this moment did Yuan Qingzang understand the saying ’there are always others beyond oneself, and heavens above heavens.’

And now Luo Chen reveals his full majestic stance, intending to defy the heavens with power?

The fall of three stars couldn’t shake Luo Chen in the least.

Following this, stars fell like rain, continuous and unceasing!

Hundreds and thousands of stars crashed onto the earth, causing the Mountain Group to collapse and the Great River to break.

Endless storms swept around, as if the entire world’s space couldn’t endure, tearing open space cracks.

The disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect watched this scene in utter despair.

The Sun Dial, of unknown origins, now had its needle trembling, starlight wobbling, presenting a scene on the verge of collapse.

The Star Sect Master stared dumbfounded, yet was powerless to resist.

In his eyes lay only the giant standing tall, bearing the frontal impact.

He couldn’t watch the defeat of the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect, and could only muster the remaining strength to shout to the heavens.

”Senior, save us!”

With a single yell, it felt like drowning in the vast ocean, without any response.

The current Star Sect Master looked hopeless.

Is the inheritance handed to him by the elders of the Star Sect ending here?

Then at this moment!

The giant opened his mouth and spat, and the gray miniature Cauldron spun out, growing with the wind into over a hundred zhang, suspending above the Sun Dial.

As the Grey Furnace appeared, a stream of chaotic grey light cascaded down, like countless strands.

Where the strands passed, it seemed to fix earth, wind, water, and fire, freezing time and space.

The universe instantly cleared.

The current Star Sect Master was stunned, followed by joy rising to his brows.

”Everyone, lend me a hand, let’s restart the Myriad Phenomena Ceremony!”

”Understood!”

The Star Sect disciples all responded, channeling all their power into him.

The complex power overwhelmed him, his face contorted in pain.

Yet he managed to gradually refine the Sun Dial named the Myriad Phenomena Ceremony.

The originally violently trembling Sun Dial regained stability, emitting streams of starlight, barely shielding the disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect.

Yuan Qingzang looked at this scene, subtly shaking his head inwardly.

But he said nothing, merely curiously glancing at the Grey Furnace.

From it, he felt a familiar power, as if from his Chaos Thunder Pool?

No!

Not only the Chaos Thunder Pool.

Seemed to hold that power once controlled by Green Robe?

Primordial Magnetic Divine Power?

At this moment, as the Grey Furnace rotated, it emitted a great suction, covering thousands of miles, transcending space, seemingly omnipresent.

Streams of starlight seemed drawn, completely pulled inside.

Even remnants of star bodies seemed swallowed by a giant beast, disappearing within the cauldron.

”This...this...”

Yuan Qingzang utterly couldn’t comprehend.

He couldn’t understand what Luo Chen intended to do, nor comprehend the Grey Furnace’s essence.

Everything happening now exceeded his understanding.

Yet the surrounding scene of Star Fall’s apocalypse continued.

Luo Chen bathed in the light of star destruction, even his thousand zhang figure blurred.

Vaguely, there resounded a Buddha’s Praise within hearts, calming every agitated soul.

Time flowed quickly, and dawn arrived.

Far more dazzling sunlight shone upon the devastated earth.

The exhausted disciples of the Star Sect, not failing to open their eyes, breathed the air which, though turbid, felt fresh and exhilarating after surviving catastrophe.

The Star Sect Master instinctively looked toward the Three Walls Land.

Yet did not see the reliable figure at Ziwei Yuan.

He was startled and instinctively flew over.

At this moment, Ziwei Yuan had already toppled, with only the corner of a high platform remaining amidst the ruins.

As he approached, he finally noticed the white silhouette.

The Star Sect Master felt a sense of relief, immediately descending to the ruins and half-kneeling on the ground.

”This junior, on behalf of the entire Star Sect, expresses gratitude for senior’s life-saving grace.”

Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, his serene gaze showing no brilliance, resembling a state of returning to simplicity and authenticity.

He calmly said, ”No need to fret, just consider it as repaying your sect’s kindness for lending me Ziwei Yuan for six decades of cultivation.”

The Star Sect Master shook his head repeatedly, ”It would be fine if it were only me, but senior safeguarded the lives of all ten thousand members of our sect, as well as preserved our Daoist lineage.”

Luo Chen chuckled and extended his hand.

In the perplexed gaze of the Star Sect Master, a five-colored stone full of angles suddenly appeared.

”Star Crystal?”

”You do recognize it!” Luo Chen weighed the five-colored stone in his hand, curiously said, ”Explain it to me!”

”Alright.”

The Star Sect Master nodded slightly and then explained the origins, functions, and taboos of this item.

The five-colored stone, known as the Star Crystal.

Is the mythological item rumored to mend the heavens.

In some immortal cultivation texts, this item is recorded as an extremely rare heavenly material among the heavenly materials and earth treasures! Comparable to the so-called Rest Soil, Weak Water, and other earth treasures!

It originates from the stars itself, being the core of a star.

But such items do not appear on regular days, only when stars fall, and only if it was a previously powerful star that fell will it produce such a condensed product.

This item is of great use to immortal cultivators!

By casually refining a little into a magic item, it possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth.

As for its principles, it remains unknown to this day.

But for martial artists, this item is somewhat superfluous; it doesn’t flow with Qi-blood and is hard to integrate with divine intent, like a stubborn stone, fundamentally unusable.

On the contrary!

If a martial artist keeps it nearby, they will be affected by the Star Crystal, and their originally active divine intent will gradually become sluggish and dull, greatly impacting their cultivation.

Luo Chen, after hearing this, was deep in thought.

He had obtained quite a lot of these five-colored stones last night, seven or eight pieces in total.

Most had been absorbed by the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Only this smallest piece in his hand was collected from the star debris at dawn.

Initially, he tried, and as the Star Sect Master said, the Martial Arts Divine Intent would become slow upon approaching, not as lively as before.

Clearly, he hadn’t been deceived.

Luo Chen thought for a moment, directly asking, ”Since you understand this item well, I suppose you’ve collected quite a few before?”

The Star Sect Master gave a bitter smile, ”Not to hide from senior, our Myriad Phenomena Star Sect established here has a lineage of nearly ten thousand years. Star falls were countless, naturally we collected many Star Crystals. Senior’s grace to save our sect this time is unrepayable, and valuables are of little concern. But unfortunately...”

He shook his head apologetically, ”All the Star Crystals within the sect were taken away by the previous Star Sect Master.”

”Previous... Heavenly Xuan Constellations?” Luo Chen understood.

The Star Sect Master nodded, with no dissatisfaction for Luo Chen calling their sect ancestor by name.

In his perspective, considering Luo Chen’s solo resistance against the falling stars last night, his strength was undoubtedly comparable to their ancestor Heavenly Xuan Constellations.

The so-called straight address was merely a peer acknowledgment.

He thought for a while before saying, ”I wonder if senior desires anything else; if the Star Sect possesses it, I’ll surely strive to repay.”

Luo Chen waved his hand.

The truly good things were probably taken, what remained were just scraps.

His gaze swept across, the once Sea of Stars was now endlessly dim.

Only three Great Suns hung prominently in the void, ruthlessly scorching the earth.

The Myriad Phenomena Star Sect with its immortal sect phenomenon was in ruins, showing signs of decay.

”This place is no longer habitable; find a new location!”

Luo Chen said as he rose to leave.

The Star Sect Master sighed, ”The sect’s Daoist lineage is here, how could we easily relocate the mountain gate? Moreover, with last night’s star fall, the energy in this place surpasses the past; if tidied well, my Star Sect might rise again in the future.”

”The future?”

Luo Chen closely examined the worn-out, exhausted Star Sect Master, said nothing more, and started to leave.

”Won’t senior stay a while longer?”

”No need, someone is waiting for me.”

The Star Sect Master looked up, seeing Yuan Qingzang waiting in the distance.

He could only bow deeply.

”Dan Yang, sending off senior!”
