Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Why save them?”

”Just a lift of a finger.”

”You know well that when the Returning Ruins end, these people will die. Why bother with this futile act?”

”Ultimately, there are still one or two hundred years left, which might be someone’s entire life.”

”I never knew you, Luo Chen, had such a compassionate heart.”

”Heh.”

Luo Chen chuckled softly, without much explanation.

To him, saving the disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Star Sect was indeed just a lift of a finger.

Perhaps, as he said to the Star Sect Master Dan Yang, it was to complete the bond over sixty years of cultivation lent by Ziwei Yuan.

But Luo Chen wasn’t without gain.

During that time, the Primordial Chaos Tripod absorbed a massive amount of starlight, further consuming many remnants of stars, even absorbing quite a few Star Crystals.

If he hadn’t done it, how could he have gained such rewards?

A drink and a peck are all predestined.

Yuan Qingzang wasn’t concerned about this matter, instead, he was more curious about something else.

He tentatively asked, ”Were you cultivating at that time?”

Luo Chen was candid, nodding calmly.

Yuan Qingzang’s spirit was lifted as his gaze constantly assessed Luo Chen.

”Have you now broken through?”

The reason for such a question was because he couldn’t discern Luo Chen’s current realm.

From his perspective, let alone the Qi Mechanism of a martial artist, even Luo Chen’s presence became elusive and ungraspable.

Clearly, Luo Chen was standing there, yet it seemed chaotic, hard to pin down.

This feeling wasn’t something even the Master of Wuyou Realm had given him.

Previously, Luo Chen’s realm was roughly equivalent to his own, appearing to be in the late-stage of the Human Immortal Realm.

If he had broken through, then Luo Chen’s realm now would be the Destruction Realm!

A newly minted Annihilation King beyond those four!

However, this time Luo Chen shook his head.

Yuan Qingzang was astonished.

In such an environment, did Luo Chen not break through?

To this, Luo Chen only sighed lightly.

”Ultimately, they’re just remnants of stars!”

Yes, just remnants of stars.

The Sea of Stars hangs countless stars, with mortals viewing it indistinguishable from real stars.

But for people like Luo Chen, they understand its essence.

Those stars are dying stars close to extinction, drawn in by the Returning Ruins.

To put it frankly, their essence is no different from beings like Luo Chen who have fallen into the Returning Ruins.

These remnants of stars can’t compare to the truly vibrant stars in the Great Thousand Worlds.

Their inherent power is less than one or two percent of the real stars.

Even if they erupt instantly, they won’t harm Luo Chen a bit.

Such external pressure gives minimal stimulus to Luo Chen.

Even if hundreds or thousands of remnants stars explode, it’s not enough to support Luo Chen to advance further.

Of course!

In such an extreme environment last night, Luo Chen wasn’t entirely without gain.

By enduring relentless external pressure, he preliminarily achieved the unity of physical body, Gang Qi, and Martial Arts Divine Intent.

Now the entire body is hard to distinguish, tightly linked.

To outsiders, it’s just a chaos, with Divine Will restrained, Qi Mechanism not apparent, making it hard to see through his true realm.

If one were to speak of realm, perhaps it can be considered Human Immortal Realm Perfection!

Besides, the greatest gain wasn’t the improvement of strength realm.

But the deduction of his Natal Qi Technique!

All Achievement Points were exhausted.

”God Demon Formless” was forcibly pushed to the limit by Luo Chen.

The cultivation path is clear up to the Nirvana Realm.

The details in the deduction process are indescribable, the most crucial point being Luo Chen’s discovery of a method of balance.

Whether it’s Demon Body Refining or human martial arts, the focus is too extreme.

Attempting to truly integrate them is challenging, even with the help of the Attribute Panel.

Under external and internal pressure last night, Luo Chen finally found a spark of insight.

Combining previous cultivation gains, he tried to integrate Buddhist Skills.

”Bodhi Skill”

”Three Heads and Six Arms”

”Moonlight Purifying Heart Spell”

Within these are the Incense and Candle God Path’s Golden Body technique, Buddhist Body Refining Divine Power, and Bodhisattva Concentration Skill.

Under mutual integration, the final balance was achieved.

The Attribute Panel also indicates cultivation is possible.

It’s foreseeable that this is a diverse yet comprehensive cultivation path, encompassing divine, human, demon, demon, and Buddhism, five Body Refinement paths.

The difficulty of cultivation is imaginable, but it’s the most fitting cultivation path for Luo Chen.

Whether it’s his No Self Divine Will or the chaotic energy achieving the current realm, both can be compatible with these Body Refinement paths.

Only one obstacle stands before Luo Chen.

He needs pressure far greater than stars falling, to truly take the first step in Chaos Body Refining!

Though such a force is hard to find in the world, it is not without traces.

”The Great Destruction Era...”

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, muttering to himself.

”What are you talking about?”

Yuan Qingzang heard Luo Chen’s muttering but did not understand its meaning.

Nevertheless, he explained it to himself.

”Indeed, with the Great Destruction Era approaching, the changes in the Returning Ruins are becoming increasingly significant. Such a terrifying scene of stars falling together last night has never occurred in millennia. The Corpse Remains Immortal Domain we passed by previously, the environment is more severe than a few hundred years ago. One can imagine other places within the Returning Ruins are continuously worsening. Everything is moving towards an end. I’m afraid my Three Thousand Towers Forests as well...”

At this point, Yuan Qingzang couldn’t help but show a bleak expression on his face.

He is different from external visitors like Luo Chen, the Master of Wuyou Realm, and Mu Bugui.

He is a native of the Returning Ruins, growing up within the Three Thousand Tower Forests, and cultivating step by step to his current realm.
