Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The first to be ruled out is the Thousand Rivers Guide.

This water element divine ability from the Dark Abyss Sect was learned by him before ascension, but it was not proficient.

Although the way of divine powers does not involve proficiency but rather the level of understanding of the law’s true intent, one can still differentiate between strengths and weaknesses.

In terms of water law, whether before or after the Divine Transformation, he was not particularly adept.

Then there are Qi Sea Floating Sky, Daluo Heavenly Sleeve, and Thousand Clouds Flowing Together, these three divine abilities.

The reason to exclude these three is not complex.

Because these three divine powers are not traditional magic powers but require external aids to cultivate transcendental means.

Qi Sea Floating Sky was self-created by Zhou Yunshen and passed on to Luo Chen’s avatar Zhou Fuqiu, and its cultivation requires accommodating the Great Thousand Qi to achieve boundless phenomena, such as miasma, Evil Qi, poison, and even extreme Yin and extreme cold, among many other formidable forces. The more accommodated, the greater the power of the divine ability.

Daluo Heavenly Sleeve was gifted by Qing Shuang before ascending, a weaker version of the opponent’s Sleeve Universe. Luo Chen used to require special magic robe sleeves and pre-recorded arrays to perform it. Now, although aided by the Vacuum Divine Gu, its power upon manifestation is not necessarily weaker than the original, it still relies on external objects.

The same goes for Thousand Clouds Flowing Together, which is a sword dao divine ability that requires refining a large amount of Nine Heavens Qi to perform.

Luo Chen has cultivated the ”Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture” to the Great Perfection level, and even condensed a sword seed within. As long as the sword seed remains, the Chi Xiao Sword Qi is inexhaustible.

In comparison, it almost no longer matters that it is not recorded on the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal.

Thus, from the elimination, the only two divine abilities that remain for selection are actually out.

Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger and Star Fire Burning Realm!

These two divine abilities were both self-created, with the deepest understanding.

The advantages and disadvantages of each are also clear at a glance.

One is single-point attack, and the other is a wide-range attack.

When performing, both require relatively long charge times, being easily interrupted.

Recording them on the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal can effectively avoid these drawbacks.

For a moment, Luo Chen was somewhat hesitant.

For the first recording on the Treasure Seal, forming the divine ability seed, success would be advisable to pave a good start for later on.

If it were before, he would have unhesitatingly recorded the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger.

After all, this was the first divine ability he comprehended and has also been used most frequently.

But now, he has another idea.

He decided to choose to record the Star Fire Burning Realm!

The reason is actually not complicated.

He has been cultivating until now, over a thousand years of age.

Excluding the five hundred years of Returning Ruins Body Refining, true cultivation is actually just in the Mountain Sea Realm for over five hundred years, and the Mystic Realm for eighty years, adding up to about six hundred years.

Within these six hundred years, the main path he cultivated was the fire attribute.

No matter how much he resents Qi Xia Emperor, the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” has left a deep mark on him.

Fire attribute cultivation techniques, fire element techniques, even the fire origin understood, have long been integrated into his very essence.

Therefore, he could easily comprehend the sense of falling meteors and create the fire element divine ability: Star Fire Burning Realm.

To him, the way of fire has become as simple as breathing.

Condensing the divine power seed, recording the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal, naturally starts from the simple.

”Then let’s begin!”

Having made the decision, Luo Chen hesitated no longer.

He recalled his previous experiences of recording spells of various orders and began to attempt recording.

Using Divine Perception as the pen, Qi Power as the ink, and the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal as the paper.

Carefully yet as fluid as a dragon or serpent.

One by one, the talismanic patterns were imprinted on the Five-Colored Mysterious Chapter.

Initially, it progressed fairly smoothly, similar to when he recorded high and low rank magic earlier, encountering no major issues.

But gradually, Luo Chen started feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Or rather, it wasn’t that he was lacking in strength, nor that the Mysterious Chapter Treasure Seal couldn’t bear the power, after all, Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators can also roughly perform Divine Transformation Divine Power.

The real issue arose from the talismanic patterns imprinted through his Divine Perception.

Those patterns, derived from his Path of Array and Talisman Dao, were potent enough to carry various high and low rank magic.

But when it came to divine powers infused with Heavenly Earthly Power, often at the moment of inscription, there was a sense of being unable to continue.

Luo Chen found himself momentarily lost in confusion.

Recording divine powers had long been on his mind, for which he had made preparations in advance.

But when implemented in practice, the difficulty far exceeded expectations.

Years later.

Luo Chen’s eyes were bloodshot, the Five Elements Nascent Soul that had only recently condensed within his body was even somewhat exhausted and weak.

The experiment’s progress was still stuck at the final stage.

The divine power seed could not form!

It is said to be the final stage, but for Luo Chen, wasn’t it the first step on the beginner’s threshold?

”Where exactly is the problem?”

”I have already optimized a large number of talismanic patterns, yet it’s still not feasible. Could it be my array and talisman dao attainments are insufficient?”

For a moment, Luo Chen was even somewhat bewildered.

It was as if there was a treasure house right in front of him; though he knew the direction, lacking the key, he was unable to enter.

If he could truly enter the treasure house and develop the treasures within,

he might achieve the most powerful Divine Transformation Stage in history!

No matter the body refinement stage, dismissing spiritual treasures, purely reigning with divine power as a Divine Transformation Great Power!

Yet he was just that short of achieving it.

Luo Chen exhaled a mouthful of Turbid Qi, his mental state gradually settling down.

Haste makes waste!

The Mystic Realm’s history spans countless epochs, and there has never been a lack of immortal cultivators with whimsical thoughts attempting actions like him.

Yet no precedent exists, none have succeeded.

That naturally indicates the difficulty involved.

Being anxious is of no use.
