Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 963: Chapter 391: Accommodating the Strength of a Hundred Schools, Exchanging for a Vast Foundation, The Path of the Lone Traveler_4 Chapter 963: Chapter 391: Accommodating the Strength of a Hundred Schools, Exchanging for a Vast Foundation, The Path of the Lone Traveler_4 Wang Yuan also planned to go.

Now with an enlightened understanding of Qi Blood Change and mastery of the Three Forces of Light and Darkness, Wang Yuan’s strength was comparable to that of a cultivator at the Eighth-Level Foundation Establishment.

His knowledge of Body Refinement Tactics made him a formidable opponent, especially against ordinary cultivators who were accustomed to fighting with Magical Weapons and Treasures.

With him present, there would be no need to worry about small-scale battles.

Finally, with utmost caution, Sima Huiniang selected Min Longyu.

“With the geographical advantage of Danxia and control over the Big Formation, Elder Min is more than capable of handling any aggressors at the Foundation Establishment Stage. You are the Luo Tian Creed’s strongest defense barrier!”

“Under normal circumstances, you should not stray too far or for too long from the Luo Tian Creed. This has always been the chairman’s arrangement for you.”

“Especially now, with both Elder Chu and Lord Wang dispatched, you should stay even more so.”

Sima Huiniang’s tone paused slightly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she announced a choice for exceptional circumstances.

“But compared to the Luo Tian Creed, the safety of the chairman is of utmost importance!”

“Even if the Luo Tian Creed were destroyed, as long as the chairman is alive, it can be rebuilt. However, if we fail to find the chairman, the existence of the Luo Tian Creed, even if it remains standing for hundreds of years, would be meaningless.”

“Therefore, this time I am assigning you to accompany Lord Wang and Elder Chu to the Divine Transformation Relics at Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain. Do you have any issues with this?”

Min Longyu responded resoundingly, “No issues!”

Sima Huiniang’s gaze swept over the others, “Do any of you have objections to my arrangement?”

Everyone looked at the trio meticulously selected: Wang Yuan, the number one combatant of Luo Tian Creed; Chu Kui, the leading Rogue Cultivator from Tian Lan Immortal City; and Min Longyu, the Array Master.

Such a lineup was the best the Luo Tian Creed could muster.

Even outside the Creed, they were incredibly powerful forces to be reckoned with.

Their collaboration as a team was doubtlessly the strongest and most efficient combination the Luo Tian Creed could deploy at present.

For a moment, everyone expressed no objections.

Even Gu Caiyi agreed with the arrangement.

“Now then, let each perform their own duties!”

With a wave of her sleeve, Sima Huiniang set the creed’s major policies into motion.

…

Meanwhile, as the Outer World frothed with turmoil,

Within the Divine Transformation Relics on the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain,

In a grand hall enveloped in clouds and mist, filled with flashing lightning,

A gaunt man sat with his eyes tightly closed, his body trembling slightly.

Occasionally, streaks of lightning flickered over him.

The tendrils of electricity, like streams of water, wrapped around him, constantly burrowing in and out.

At his feet were littered numerous items.

Magic Tools, Magic Items, Talismans, Puppets, Sword Pills, minerals, Array Flags… and fragments of Storage Bags.

There was no system or ownership to be discerned.

It was impossible to tell what kind of cultivator would possess such a disparate collection of items.

Only Luo Chen knew what he had been through in the past six months.

After drawing forth Heavenly Thunder that day, the ensuing thunderstorm was beyond his expectations.

The method of evading thunder with the Traveling Eighteen Array Disks was insufficient to completely dispel the power of the thunder.

Seeing Di Wanyun’s instantaneous demise, he ultimately took a risk and initiated an alternative plan.

He harnessed the lightning to open an ancient gate, disregarding the potential of attracting cultivators of various realms.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

In that instant, he delved into the relics.

However, survival came at a cost.

A portion of the vast thunder had infused his body.

Ordinary lightning was one thing;

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator might be able to withstand it to some degree.

But such an enormous amount of lightning soon underwent a qualitative change.

Since then, his body had been on the brink of collapse.

Luo Chen tried to use the Cleaning Technique to expel the external lightning.

But it was like trying to extinguish a forest fire with a cup of water!

What good was a scoop of water when the ship was taking on water?

In desperation, he resorted to his last tactic, the Profound Ice Talisman!

In an instant, his entire body was encased in ice.

He attempted to wait for the rescue of the Jueqing Fairy.

However, after being frozen, Luo Chen immediately realized something was wrong; the force of the thunder encompassing his body continued to struggle.

The freezing technique began to disintegrate, and within a day at most, the thunder would ravage his flesh once again.

In this dire moment, Luo Chen forced himself into a state of calm.

The power of thunder entering the body was not unsolvable!

If he were a Spirit Root Cultivator with a Lightning Spirit Root, he could even absorb the Spirit Qi and improve his Cultivation Level.

He didn’t possess a Lightning Spirit Root, but he had experience using the power of thunder for Body Refinement.

“What if I use this thunder to open my orifices? Could I then exhaust it?”

“No!”

“The quantity is too great, even if I were to dissipate a part of it, a large amount would still remain.”

“I must find another way, either to expel it or to use it up.”

As his thoughts whirled, Luo Chen turned to his Third Order Body Refinement Technique, the “Sky Roc Transformation.”

If this technique were perfected, it would be akin to a transformation sought by the Class Demon.

Wang Yuan disdained it.

Luo Chen didn’t particularly like it either.

But the “Sky Roc Transformation” was not just a technique for altering one’s form in battle; its essence was about emulating Ancient Great Demons, eschewing the path of Transformation to pursue an original and tracing-back approach to Body Refinement.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, Ancient Great Demons rarely transformed into human shape willingly.

They typically sought to continuously snatch up Heaven and Earth Qi, tempering their Demon Bodies to achieve a state of immortality and regeneration from a drop of blood.

“Sky Roc Transformation” envisioned the same goal!

However, due to its incompleteness, specific details of the Body Refinement Techniques were missing.

It only outlined the absorption of Blood Essence from three types of demon beasts, each starting on a different path of Body Refinement.

These three types of demon beasts’ Blood Essence were that of the Thunder Roc, Golden Winged Roc, and the Sky Yang Roc.

The respective attributes they corresponded to were the elements of thunder, metal, and fire.
