Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Youxuan Continent, Extreme West Direction.

Stretching for billions of miles, it occupies a full third of the vast territory of the entire continent.

Within it, cultivators are as numerous as clouds, powerful figures abound, and ancient clans are commonplace.

Even within the secular dynasty that holds billions of people, there is no lack of immortal cultivators.

And on this land, there is only one master.

That is—Youdu!

A figure came from the Extreme East, crossed the Nine Sects Central Land, and finally arrived at the territory of Youdu.

Even though this person was incomparably strong, he still restrained his breath along the way, not daring to let the slightest bit leak out.

Finally, his figure stopped in front of a majestic great city.

This city was extremely magnificent, with city walls towering over a hundred feet high, stretching as far as the eye could see.

And where it sprawled, it was like a writhing giant dragon, stretching for tens of millions of miles without a clear beginning or end.

Most peculiar was that there were no city gates anywhere in the great city!

A city with no gates, that is Youdu!

Legend has it, Youdu was not originally like this. This city was built after the end of the Xuan Demon War from ten thousand years ago.

The reason for not setting up city gates was to guard against the powerful demon race, maximizing the strength of the array.

”But a rumor is ultimately just a rumor. According to our clan’s ancestor, this city is a giant heaven-connecting spiritual treasure created by the joint efforts of several Mahayana Venerables. Once activated at a critical moment, it gathers the might of the Source Court and is sufficient to obliterate any invading enemy!”

The man in the black and red Emperor Robe quietly scrutinized the great city ahead through the beaded curtain of his crown.

In his eyes was both admiration and astonishment.

How could the artifact refining techniques of the human clan achieve such a level?

No wonder that even with the ancient Heavenly Phoenix form at the top of the Mahayana, the terrifying power could only let the Sky Phoenix Clan occupy a corner in the eastern part of the continent.

If it really came to a fight, the ancestor might roam freely, but the mere Sky Phoenix Clan would likely face annihilation within a day.

Taking a deep breath, the man descended from the clouds.

Ignoring the flying boats coming and going around him, he slowly emanated his own breath.

In an instant, a majestic power connected with heaven and earth.

The surrounding living beings all felt their hearts sink, as if directly facing heavenly might.

If a Divine Transformation Cultivator comprehends the Law’s True Intent, they can borrow Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, wielding minor authority over the Great Dao.

Then such a characteristic of being like the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth itself is undeniable.

Integration Great Venerate!

It’s not borrowing, but merging the Laws and Great Dao with one’s Primordial Spirit, becoming part of the Laws and Great Dao itself.

If one achieves Completion, they become Heavenly Supreme above countless living beings!

That is, Mahayana Venerable!

The moment this power appeared, Youdu seemed to react.

Beams of Glint shot out, standing atop the city walls, ready and waiting.

A Divine Transformation Cultivator came forward from the crowd, looking at the man outside the city. Even though the realm difference was vast, his gaze remained cold, showing no trace of fear.

”Where does this demon cultivator come from, daring to make trouble in front of Youdu?”

Faced with such insolent words, the man in the black and red Emperor Robe felt displeasure in his heart, but showed nothing on his face.

He simply handed over a Jade Token.

”I am the Yan Emperor under the command of the Heavenly Phoenix Ancestor, requesting to see the Illusion Dream Venerable of Youdu!”

”Heavenly Phoenix Ancestor?”

The Youdu Divine Transformation was slightly stunned. Even with the noble status of a Source Court Cultivator, he still showed respect to the top figures on this continent.

He thought for a moment, cupped his hands, and said: ”This senior, please wait a moment, let me report to the elders of the Illusion Dream Dojo.”

Yan Emperor nodded calmly.

Yet in his heart, a trace of ripple was inevitably stirred.

In his late-stage Integration realm, going to any continent should earn him respect, even when encountering forces like the Source Court level of Youdu.

But here was the Youxuan Continent!

In name, the Sky Phoenix Clan and Youdu Source Court stood on equal footing, but in reality, everyone knew who the true ruler was here.

Only by bringing out the name of the ancestor could one gain a higher regard.

For a moment, a sense of competitive spirit arose in his heart.

All because the Sky Phoenix Clan had only one Mahayana Cultivator, while the Youdu Source Court had as many as a dozen.

If he could break through to that realm in the future, perhaps he could improve this difficult situation.

Though determined, waiting was still necessary.

And this wait lasted for three full days and nights.

Three days later, the Divine Transformation Cultivator returned, finally carrying a respectful expression.

”Senior, the Illusion Dream Dojo has granted your request, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, please hang this token on your waist.”

Yan Emperor frowned slightly but still accepted the token.

Then boldly entered Youdu.

Several days later.

In the Illusion Dream Dojo, accompanied by someone, Yan Emperor was admiring the unique scenery of the place.

Magnificent Illusion Dream Locust Trees dotted the dojo.

From time to time, some strange, formless entities were drawn in.

These things weren’t strong, but as powerful as the Yan Emperor was, he still felt a thrilling sensation every time he sensed them.

”Daoist Lin, what are those?”

The young man beside him smiled and said, ”These are Ghost Nightmares, Brother Yan may have heard of them?”

Yan Emperor raised an eyebrow, ”Ghost Nightmares? Could they be the rumored Nightmares?”

The cultivator surnamed Lin slightly smiled, ”Indeed, Nightmare is the term used by mortal commoners, but Ghost Nightmares do enjoy consuming the dreams of living beings to strengthen themselves.”

Yan Emperor frowned, ”These should have long been extinct in the Mystic Realm. Why are there so many in the Illusion Dream Dojo? Aren’t you afraid they’ll affect your sect’s disciples’ cultivation?”

”Affect?” The cultivator surnamed Lin did not explain why so many Ghost Nightmares were attracted to this place but instead chuckled lightly, ”The more of these there are, the more my family’s ancestor is pleased.”
