Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

At that moment, they can only fight for themselves.

He doesn’t possess a benevolent heart for all beings, therefore he must become selfish.

Completely shut down the Nine-layered Immortal Tower and transfer chaotic energy to assist in accelerating cultivation is the most urgent task at hand.

Currently!

All chaotic energy from below the Fourth Ring is being channeled into the Second Ring through the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.

The surrounding energy is so turbulent that even the Primordial Cauldron is momentarily unable to absorb it all.

But before cultivating, there are some minor matters that need simple attention.

His gaze fell upon the Primordial Cauldron.

After absorbing the Chaos Thunder Pool, Primordial Magnetic Divine Power, and Star Crystal, his Lifebound Magic Treasure is undergoing unseen transformation.

And this transformation is a positive change.

Luo Chen reached out and beckoned.

Suddenly, three disparate yet equally powerful forces emerged from the Primordial Cauldron.

Under Luo Chen’s integration of divine will, they gradually formed into something even more terrifying.

Starlight flickered, thunder roared, they struggled against each other yet were drawn together by an inexplicable magnetic force.

Due to the connection with his Lifebound Magic Treasure, Luo Chen could easily control this power.

Sending it outwards, Liuguang flashed in an instant, erupting with waves of soul-shaking thunder sound at the attack point.

”I reckon even if the enemy has defensive techniques, it would be difficult to resist this strike.”

”Starlight is omnipresent, thunder reaches in an instant, and the Primordial Magnetic Divine Power counteracts the Five Elements across the world. Whether it’s a direct assault or a sneak attack, this divine power inherent to the Primordial Cauldron is formidable enough.”

”I shall name it... Heavenly Star Yuan Magnet Divine Thunder!”

Luo Chen didn’t fuss over a fancy name; taking a bit of characteristic from each of the three forces, he named it thus.

Afterward, Luo Chen took out an item.

Vacuum Gu!

Compared to before, the changes in Vacuum Gu are becoming more apparent.

Its size hasn’t changed much, but the glacial-like folds have become more intricate.

All these changes are thanks to the abundant Void Bud Crystal Luo Chen acquired from the Corpse Demon’s avatar.

Even now, it hasn’t exhausted them.

While keenly observing, Luo Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

”Why, after consuming so many Void Bud Crystals and a vast quantity of Void Prism Apertures, has it still not broken through the Fifth Order? Is it truly that difficult to cultivate a Divine Gu?”

Luo Chen has some understanding of Gu insects, but it is ultimately not profound enough.

Whether using Gu, refining Gu, or nurturing Gu.

Yet after experiencing the magical effects of Gu insects, he has always been fascinated by these special existences.

Whether it’s the Spirit Beetle’s heart-linked bond, the Demonic Mind Gu’s power transformation, or the Life and Death Gu’s forced binding.

Especially the Blessing and Misfortune Gu!

His ability to reach the Returning Ruins, owed much to the lingering Calamity Gu aura left by Youli Divine Monarch.

Though the Returning Void environment is harsh, it has indeed allowed his power to surge in a short time, with hope of breaking through to a higher realm before leaving the Returning Ruins.

The time spent, even including what follows, amounts to no more than five hundred years.

Not to mention the cultivation techniques and divine powers, as well as abundant resources gained during the process.

In his view, the Gu Worm Skill is another path to cultivate Heavenly Dao Origin; otherwise, the unique effects of those Gu insects remain unexplained.

If he could cultivate a Divine Gu of his own, it would surely be tremendously beneficial for both escaping the Returning Void and future cultivation.

”Could it be that Nan Qi Old Ghost deceived me, and withheld knowledge about cultivating Vacuum Gu?”

”Or is it that even he doesn’t know the complete cultivation method?”

In the midst of fluctuating emotions, Luo Chen took a deep breath.

Cautiously, he took out something and placed it in front of the Vacuum Gu.

”Can this be consumed?”

A stone emitting five-colored light quietly floated before him.

Entirely like a body cast from pure dark glaze, the Vacuum Gu insects’ body trembled, then swiftly flew atop it, clinging directly.

From its toothless mouth, a large amount of liquid secreted instantly, enveloping the whole five-colored stone.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen’s spirit was invigorated.

”This Gu can truly consume Star Crystal!”

During his expedition to the Sea of Stars, Luo Chen gained considerable harvest.

Not only improved his cultivation technique and advanced his realm, but also realized further transformation in his Lifebound Magic Treasure Mix Yuan Cauldron.

Besides that, he additionally obtained a Star Crystal.

According to Dan Yang, the contemporary Star Sect Master, it’s harmful to martial artists themselves and significantly hinders Martial Arts Divine Intent. However, for immortal cultivators, it is an excellent artifact refining material.

Add just one piece to greatly boost the power of an immortal cultivator’s magic item.

Luo Chen had intended to later meld it into the Yuan Tu Sword.

But with imminent escape from the Returning Void, what he needs is not an attack method, hence targeting the Vacuum Gu instead.

According to his deductions, Vacuum Gu has spatial attribute relevance, thus requiring the consumption of vast spatial attribute materials.

And as a highly condensed crystal core of a star, it likely holds related spatial attributes as well.

And testing it now has proved effective indeed!

”I hope you can undergo transformation before departure!”

With hopeful sentiments, Luo Chen carefully put away the Vacuum Gu.

Next, he took out another item.

A piece of pristine white bone.

After contemplates the bone for a while, Luo Chen ultimately chose to seal it and store it away.

He has confirmed this bone isn’t from the Corpse Demon’s own body.

Moreover, it is highly likely related to the Ancient God in the Ancient God Dojo, which claimed to be the Source of Compassion Light.

That Ancient God has long dispersed its consciousness, yet even its remaining power can confront Golden Punishment Venerable’s full strike, implying its immense power during life.

Such an entity, Luo Chen doesn’t wish to get involved with for now.

Indeed, this is one of the reasons Luo Chen gave up leaving from the Ancient God Dojo.

He certainly isn’t afraid of the Corpse Demon.

As he mentioned before, in a direct confrontation, it’s still uncertain who would prevail.

Finally!

Luo Chen slapped his palm onto the Primordial Cauldron.

Thud!

A tail, three thousand zhang long, lay across the chaotic void.

Mangled with flesh, unbearably grotesque.

Yet the terrifying power contained within, commands an unyielding gaze.

”Next comes the physical body of the Mahayana True Spirit!”

Luo Chen licked his lips, a hint of greed flickered in his eyes.

Such an entity, in the Outer World, would be the most supreme material.

Whether pill refinement, tool casting, array formation, talisman making, cultivation secret technique, etc.

For an immortal cultivator, there are myriad methods to utilize such an exquisite material.

But alas, here it’s the Returning Void.

Not to mention whether Luo Chen possesses a means to utilize it, even if he does, he would refrain from using it.

For him, enhancing his hard power outweighs any external augmentation.

Condensing Heavenly Star Yuan Magnet Divine Thunder lies thus, allowing Vacuum Gu to devour Star Crystal does too, and so with nearly one-third of Golden Punishment Venerable’s body, there remains but one fitting method of usage.

Eating!

Luo Chen, having an initial understanding of the True Spirit Path, naturally knows what tremendous power True Spirit Body holds.

Set aside the power of the flesh itself, the contained Source Blood with its abundant Qi Blood Power is a great supplement to martial artists.

Currently, Luo Chen is at Human Immortal Realm Perfection, with this supplement, he would undoubtedly step further.

Higher realm aids his escape from the Returning Void too, bringing greater chances of survival.

Moreover, concerning the next realm’s enhancement, he has long planned during the completion of cultivation techniques.

Gaze landed on the Primordial Cauldron, Luo Chen did not absorb it into his body, but let it remain outside.

Yet he dispatched a Martial Arts Divine Spirit to control it on his behalf.

Soon, the surrounding chaotic energy, as if returning to the ocean from countless rivers, was incessantly absorbed into the Primordial Cauldron.

The energy refined inside, Luo Chen temporarily would not take even a bit.

Having arranged all this, he opened his chilling mouth, biting into the Golden Punishment Venerable’s flesh.

Simultaneously, his inner Blood Refining Divine Gang operated frantically, driving the Qi Blood Furnace along the new cultivation technique’s route.

The so-called new cultivation technique is precisely the completed version of ”God Demon Formless.”

But even during his time at the Sea of Stars, Luo Chen had already renamed it to a more fitting name.

”Chaos Undying Scripture.”

If everything goes smoothly next, he might be able to cultivate the physique he envisions.

In the Chaos Sea, Luo Chen accompanies the Mixed Treasure Tripod, with the Gate of Annihilation suspended above, chewing constantly on the True Spirit flesh, his aura becoming increasingly powerful with harmonious integration.

As time passes, it becomes increasingly rapid.
