Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Within the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Palace, corridors meander intricately.

Two figures walked side by side, and the woman clad head-to-toe in Moyu Treasure Armor was speaking formally to the man beside her.

”The Tianyuan Daoist Sect has a longstanding heritage, and among the Nine Great Saint Sects its foundations are deeply rooted, possibly only surpassed by the dominance of the Youdu Source Court on the Youxuan Continent.”

”Within the Daoist Sect, there are countless strong entities, especially the Tianyuan Great Venerate, whose name resonates with the sect’s title as his Dao name, boasting the greatest power. It’s said his talent is unimaginably terrifying; two thousand years ago, he was merely at the early stage of Integration, and now he has cultivated to the late stage, merely a step away from the Mahayana Venerable realm.”

”Many wish to join the sect under the Daoist Sect’s wing, or even just to witness the grandeur of the Daoist Sect’s gates.”

”During this trial, we won’t actually enter the true Daoist Sect Gate, but we will be situated close by at Guangling County near the Dan Zhu Mountain. The Demon Suppression Tower is established there, beneath which lies the Dark Demon Cave that produces demon lairs. Additionally, Guangling County is unlike ordinary Human Clan territories; it hosts a branch of the Demon Race called the Hidden Demons.”

”However, as per usual practice, once the trial concludes, those sect disciples who successfully pass will be invited inside the Tianyuan Daoist Sect Gate to behold the splendor of the Saint Sect!”

”At that time, Junior Brother, you must be mindful of your words and actions, do not provoke the mighty of the Daoist Sect.”

Jiang Huang was speaking each word meticulously, conveying information from discussions during fellow disciples’ gatherings that Luo Chen had missed during his Closed-Door Cultivation days.

This was also instructed by his master, Yaoxi True Master.

Jiang Huang adhered to the instructions, fearing any omissions of critical information.

Luo Chen gently nodded, his expression calm yet carrying a sense of intriguing complexity.

The information mostly aligned with what he knew from the texts.

Yet, there were some details unknown to common people.

For instance, the contemporary Tianyuan Great Venerate’s speed of cultivation was somewhat astonishing.

Although the Mystic Realm and Mountain Sea Realm differ significantly, the Lifespan of High Order Cultivators is not too dissimilar overall.

A Divine Transformation Great Power can live for two thousand years, a Refining Void Stage lasts five thousand; the Integration Realm overall spans merely ten thousand years of lifespan.

Commonly, advancing from early to late Integration stage takes thousands of years!

Even geniuses rare to appear for centuries or millennia are also like this.

After all, those who can cultivate all the way from Qi Refinement Stage, which one amongst them isn’t a peerless genius emerging from millions?

Yet, the Tianyuan Great Venerate took merely two thousand years, which is truly astonishing.

Even if Luo Chen calculated with his terrifying Wuling Dao Body’s cultivation speed, without any miraculous encounters, it would be tough to reach this level.

Could it be that the Tianyuan Great Venerate possesses a physique more heaven-defying than the Wuling Dao Body?

Probably not!

According to texts and predecessors’ sayings, cultivation beyond Integration involves the true cultivation of Laws and Great Dao, while a powerful physique, though helpful, doesn’t account for much.

Or perhaps...

”Two thousand years...”

Luo Chen mused over this time, a spark seemed to flash in his mind, but it vanished quickly.

He then heard that after the Demon Suppression Trial concludes, they would be invited to admire the Daoist Sect’s grandeur, so he ceased paying attention to the situation of the Tianyuan Great Venerate, shifting his focus here.

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect and Su Ling Sect are entirely different places!

In the Su Ling Sect, the Taisu Spirit Monarch at the Refining Void stage stands high, rarely encountered.

But within the Daoist Sect, though not overabundant, there is a group of Void Refining True Monarchs!

A moment’s carelessness would uncover one’s identity—akin to plunging into a tiger’s den!

Luo Chen instinctively touched his face.

His appearance and physique, reshaped by the technique of Divine Soul formation, greatly changed from the Luo Chen of Mountain Sea Realm, presumably undetectable by Integration Great Venerate facing him.

In essence, reaching Luo Chen’s level in Body Refinement, changes in appearance and physique are no longer mere illusions but a genuine face.

Only his potent Divine Soul stands apart from his concealed realm, creating a possibility of exposure.

”If it’s not revealed, that’s fine. If revealed...”

Luo Chen slowly clenched his hand.

Before departing from the Su Ling Sect, he didn’t just recall the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits Fire.

He brought along the Vacuum Gu and Eternal Grass too.

The Eternal Grass has been transplanted into the Five-pointed Black Star Tower of the Poluo Demon Race within the Moyu Space.

The tower fundamentally resembles the earlier obtained Penglai Octagon Pavilion, as it’s a Space Treasure, allowing Spirit Plants cultivation.

The Vacuum Gu is carried by Luo Chen personally.

When circumstances appear unfavorable, besides deploying Flying Escape and previously mastered Five Elements Escape Technique, he has the Vacuum Gu to assist in exhibiting the Sky-breaking Divine Escape to secure his safety.

This kind of Space Escape Technique, paired with his Destruction Realm Path of Martial Arts prowess, it’s not about Void Refining True Monarch, even Integration Great Venerate may not necessarily retain him.

Certainly!

This is merely in a situation of utmost necessity, Luo Chen has never witnessed the full-speed Flying Escape of Combined Cultivators, nor does he know which is superior.

”Master instructed me to pass this to you.”

A Jade Vial was presented before him.

Luo Chen glanced at Jiang Huang, received the vial, and opened its cork, raising his eyebrows involuntarily.

”Fourth Order Elixir, and it’s Ascendant Grade?”

Jiang Huang nodded, ”Correct, this is the Immortal Rejuvenation Pill personally refined by Elder Ancient Wood. Crafted primarily from Ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Milk and Six-return True Yang Liquid, don’t underestimate that there are only three. Each can instantly restore the Qi Power of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, hence allowing for three chances to save one’s life; don’t waste them lightly until a crucial moment arises.”

Luo Chen was somewhat surprised.

Neither Ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Milk nor Six-return True Yang Liquid is ordinary; these are top-tier spiritual items, rarely possessed even by Divine Transformation Great Power.

Despite refining pills for years, he had never found such materials.

Even amidst the heritage left by the unfortunate Refining Void Demon Monarch he killed, he luckily acquired a portion of Six-return True Yang Liquid.
