Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Mystic Realm!

Xuanyou Continent.

Within the Sky Phoenix Clan.

Inside a Spirit Mountain Cave Mansion, a woman sat cross-legged.

In simple azure clothing, her peerless beauty was still evident.

Spirit Qi flowed around, causing frequent ripples in the void.

She sat quietly there, yet it was as if she weren’t there, as if she might vanish into the void the next moment, disappearing from this world.

As the cultivation technique operated, gradually, the aura on the woman became increasingly dense, and could no longer be suppressed.

The woman didn’t want to suppress it either.

The next moment!

Boom!

Aura burst forth, an enormous primordial spirit flew out from her heavenly spirit cover, shining across the sky.

Rolling Spirit Qi surged like tides.

Only to see a gloriously majestic Simurgh illusion soar and glide across the sky, madly devouring Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Affected by this, the entire Sky Phoenix Clan was shaken.

Figures flew out from the Spirit Mountain and River, looking expectantly towards that place.

These figures were sometimes human-shaped, but mostly bird-like demon beasts.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew that this individual was about to break through!

Not just these lower order demon beasts.

The only Mahayana Period Sky Phoenix within the clan turned its gaze towards where the spirit tide was surging.

”No wonder the child tethered by the Phoenix Girl from the lower realm has such outstanding talent. Primarily cultivating the most difficult and powerful spatial law, while also refining body methods, she can successfully condense an illusion in just five hundred years. As long as she crosses this step, she will logically enter the Void Refining Stage. Future achievements will not fall below Phoenix Girl and Lie Yu.”

However, in the next moment.

The Sky Phoenix was suddenly taken aback.

Within her divine perception, she saw the rolling spirit tide suddenly dissipate, and the soaring Simurgh illusion collapsed abruptly.

Such a sudden change truly caught one off guard!

The Sky Phoenix Clan, in pursuit of quicker cultivation speed, had long abandoned the oldest True Spirit Path, turning to the human clan’s Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation method instead.

Therefore, the process of breaking through realms is identical to that of the human clan.

Apart from the heavenly tribulation faced during the Nascent Soul Stage, Body Integration Realm, and Mahayana Ascension, typically breaking through major realms does not induce thunder tribulations.

It is more of an internal change!

As long as the foundation is sufficient, breaking through becomes a matter of course.

The changes in celestial phenomena brought about by realm breakthroughs are merely the world’s favor, often lasting a period of time, allowing one to absorb outer world energy to stabilize the current realm.

Thus, few fail after successfully taking that step.

This is very unreasonable.

Could it be that the child hasn’t adapted to Mystic Realm’s Heaven and Earth Laws?

But that shouldn’t be the case!

She has been in the Mystic Realm for five hundred years!

What needed transformation has transformed, what needed adaptation has adapted, surely such discrepancy would not arise.

”Could it be her Dao Heart at fault, causing the illusion to collapse?”

The Heavenly Phoenix Ancestor was unclear of the true situation, spreading her divine perception to permeate her cave mansion.

”Qing Shuang, what happened, why did you fail at the crucial moment?”

Inside the cave mansion.

The woman in azure was pale-faced, traces of blood still lingered at the corners of her mouth.

She wiped away the bloodstains and replied respectfully, ”I’m sorry to worry the Ancestor, it is my cultivation level that lacks, still requiring more refinement.”

”Cultivation level lacks?”

The Heavenly Phoenix Ancestor was half-believing and half-doubting.

Nonetheless, she offered Qing Shuang some comfort, urging her to recuperate well and prepare for the next breakthrough.

After the Ancestor’s divine perception had left, Qing Shuang fell into silence.

She blinked, as if the previous scene lingered unyieldingly.

She saw it!

Amidst chaos.

A thousand-foot giant, obliterated instantly by a terrifying storm, without any resistance.

Even the only connecting Life and Death Gu between them was entirely destroyed.

At that moment, even the faintest connection that had already weakened to the extreme, backfired upon her, causing the step that was supposed to be easy to cross to become impossible to surpass.

”Luo Chen, have you truly died?”

The woman murmured a sentence, a hint of guilt arose on her always calm and aloof icy face.

That man was a true peerless genius!

Not only was his talent extraordinary, but his Dao Heart was exceptionally firm, and his prowess in spell battles was no less than hers.

Even if unable to successfully ascend, as long as he found a great world no lesser than the Mystic Realm, he could still achieve remarkable accomplishments.

In five hundred years, his progress might have surpassed hers.

But because of elder sister Qi Xia, not only were his ascension dreams shattered, but even the subsequent cultivation path was forcibly severed.

After enduring five hundred years, he eventually fell.

The woman instinctively pressed against her chest, then slowly closed her eyes.

A faint murmuring sound reverberated in her mouth.

”I’m sorry...”

...

Crunch!

A sharp sound echoed in everyone’s ears.

Fang Qingxue looked and saw cracks appearing on the walls of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower that was protecting them, one after another.

This was still inside the tower!

It was imaginable that the defensive layer outside the tower was already completely destroyed.

She finally understood why her ancestor, the Master of Wuyou Realm, had overseen the Nine-layered Immortal Tower for thousands of years, yet never attempted to use this treasure to traverse the Gate of Annihilation.

The pressure both inside and out was beyond normal reckoning.

Now, just upon entering the Gate of Annihilation, the Nine-layered Immortal Tower could not withstand it; what about the journey ahead?

”Brother Luo, what should we do?”

Everyone turned their gaze to the white-clothed man sitting at the array core.

It was at this moment that Luo Chen abruptly opened his eyes.

He solemnly said, ”Immortal Tower shall perish, everyone fend for yourselves!”

As he spoke, the engraved Golden Corrosion Formation Map poised above also began to reveal cracks.

The entire Nine-layered Immortal Tower emitted creaking sounds of bearing unbearable weight.
