Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Nirvana Sacred Fire?”

In an instant, a sense of dread spread throughout the body.

But as Luo Chen’s divine perception swept over it, he sighed in relief.

This golden phoenix illusion is the Nirvana Sacred Fire, yet it’s not.

In essence, it’s almost indistinguishable from the Nirvana Sacred Fire that Luo Chen once possessed, but its core remains the flame now known as Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire.

Luo Chen pondered and asked, ”Did you absorb and evolve it during those years of close contact with the Nirvana Fire Spirit?”

The fire tree swayed, its branches nodding.

Luo Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling bitter for his earlier overreaction.

For him, the Qi Xia Emperor had become a nightmarish presence.

If he cannot eliminate this person, or face him once more, he will never achieve spiritual clarity.

Perhaps it won’t affect his next breakthrough to Divine Transformation, but when advancing to the Void Refining Stage or facing Heavenly Tribulation in the Body Integration Realm, this obsession will surely resurface!

Sighing, Luo Chen silently gazed at the ”flourishing” fire tree.

”Calling you Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire is no longer suitable.”

”I primarily practice the ’Chaos Undying Scripture,’ possess the Chaos Undying Body, and since you are my Original Source True Fire, you should be named after Chaos. Moreover, due to your devouring of various fires and the birth of spirituality, you shall be called...”

”Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits Fire!”

This simple and direct naming style has always been Luo Chen’s way.

The fire spirit, with a heart in harmony, leaned its main trunk as if pondering its new name, its branches supporting its top.

Seeing this pretentious behavior, Luo Chen couldn’t help but laughingly scold.

”Get in here!”

With a single inhalation, the fire tree transformed into a stream of light and entered Luo Chen’s Purple Mansion.

Once inside, the fire tree initially felt somewhat unfamiliar, seemingly surprised at how its home had changed after being away for so long.

But it quickly grew bored with the new sights, settled near the Nascent Soul, and once again spread its form, absorbing the Qi Power occasionally leaked from the Nascent Soul’s magic body.

Luo Chen touched his abdomen, nodding slightly.

This revival, although the fire tree’s strength hadn’t reached its peak, its spirituality far surpassed before.

Perhaps due to the effects of the seven Two Forms Pills.

That stuff was originally crafted with Dried Origin Fire Marrow after the Sourceless Fire left, promoting the growth of various flames besides facilitating the cultivation of the Yin Yang Extreme Dao Flame.

With few materials left on him, in the future, he might as well collect more medicinal herbs to refine additional pills, as treats for the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire... no, the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits Fire.

As for now...

Luo Chen brushed off the smoke from his robes, calmly stood up, and left the pill room.

The month-long period had ended; it was time to embark on a journey to participate in the so-called Demon Suppression Trial.

...

That day.

The weather was clear, not a single cloud in the sky.

A colossal structure hovered at the mountain gate of the Su Ling Sect.

Neither a boat, nor a carriage, nor a chariot, it was a magnificent palace with layers upon layers.

Above it stood countless halls and pavilions, with exotic flowers and herbs spread everywhere, and celestial cranes and auspicious beasts were a common sight.

Countless spirit qi spewed from below, forming strands that hung and swayed.

Moreover, brilliant clouds and mist ascended, transforming into numerous mirages.

Truly a sight to behold!

Luo Chen stood outside the grand palace, a look of shock on his face.

It wasn’t feigned; it came from the heart.

”Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace! Is this the traveling carriage of the Void Refining True Monarch? Such immense grandeur!”

His arrival was not concealed.

The cultivators atop the heavenly palace quickly noticed him.

Then, a glazed golden bridge extended downwards as if to welcome him.

Luo Chen steadily made his way up, and at the bridge’s end, an elderly Daoist master awaited with a smile.

”Greetings, Master Zhibei!”

Master Helan waved his hand, ”Instead of calling me master, I’d prefer you address me as Dean.”

Luo Chen, naturally agreeable, said, ”Dean, I’ve kept you waiting.”

”It wasn’t a long wait, just arrived a bit earlier,” Master Helan replied with a slight smile, then proudly asked, ”How is it, isn’t this True Monarch’s carriage impressive?”

Luo Chen exclaimed, ”Impressive doesn’t even begin to describe it, it’s truly awe-inspiring!”

The Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace was the carriage of the current Su Ling Sect leader, Taisu Spirit Monarch.

For this Demon Suppression Trial, not to tarnish the Su Ling Sect’s reputation, it was lent to Elder Ancient Wood to transport everyone to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Master Helan also sighed, ”Indeed, the first time I saw this palace, I was just as shocked and overwhelmed as you. From the outside, it looks expansive, covering thousands of feet in area, but once you truly explore it, you’ll discover the secret of the mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru within.”

Luo Chen nodded, having already taken note.

Just outside, he couldn’t resist scanning it with his divine perception.

Although it appeared to be merely a few thousand feet in size, with his Peak of Divinity Transformation divine perception, it still took time to see everything clearly.

In other words, the internal space already exceeds thousands of miles!

Its sheer size, not just a palace, even the mountain gates of some Divinity Transformation Powers wouldn’t be so magnificent.

Master Helan explained, ”A True Monarch should have the demeanor of a True Monarch, especially as the leader of a sect! This Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace was commissioned by the sect leader, spending a fortune, and built by artifact refining masters from the Nine Great Saint Sects’ Boundaryless Mountain, taking over a hundred years. It contains numerous large and small spirit veins, even a Fifth Order Spirit Vein was transferred from the sect inside, allowing for prolonged cultivation by Divinity Transformation Great Powers. Its functionality is comprehensive, allowing for cultivation and residence, traveling by flying escape, planting flowers, rearing spirit beasts, and both offense and defense, virtually covering all aspects. Normally, the sect leader rarely uses this treasure, but when needed, even traveling across continents won’t delay one’s own cultivation. Look over there, the lake water in that lake, can’t you feel the rich spirit qi? In fact, a Spirit Eye Spring has been transplanted inside it...”
