Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1530: Chapter 568 Chapter 1530: Chapter 568 “Demonic Qi?!”

Startled and puzzled, the man blurted out within the cabin.

The next moment, the figure of Han Zhan seemed to materialize from within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, faintly visible.

Upon seeing this, Tian Xuan trembled all over and respectfully stepped to the side with hands clasped.

The master always had the remnant soul of a Nascent Soul True Master by his side; she and Black King both knew this.

During those years in the Mysterious Rock Sea Area, when the master was preoccupied with Pill Refinement and could not travel, it was True Master Han who helped handle various matters.

Whether it was the time she was almost captured or when Black King seized the Demon Emperor’s Metamorphosis on Mysterious Rock Island, it was True Master Han who issued commands on the master’s behalf.

It could be said that at certain times, True Master Han could command them.

Especially!

The absolute suppressing Realm of the Nascent Soul Stage meant that even just a wisp of remnant soul exerted immense psychological pressure on them, the Demon Beasts.

She and Black King had also been curious about what identity the master held in the past?

His Qi Power was pure and majestic; at first glance, he clearly did not seem to be a lowly Rogue Cultivator.

The way he delegated tasks was orderly, and his manner of issuing commands was effortless as if he possessed an innate perspective of a superior.

Moreover, he had the remnant soul of a Nascent Soul True Master by his side.

No matter how one saw it, he appeared to be a direct disciple of a Top Sect.

Even, they suspected whether the master could truly be the rumored heritage of the Yuan Mo Sect.

At this moment, Luo Chen and Han Zhan naturally would not pay attention to the myriad thoughts in Tian Xuan’s mind.

With a face full of astonishment and uncertainty, Luo Chen asked, “Is that truly Demonic Qi?”

On the surface of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Han Zhan’s aged face flickered in and out of view as he moved his lips to speak, “The world is spirited, and its natural energy is called Spirit Qi. All things dwell between heaven and earth, Absorbing Spiritual Energy, transforming their own power, and ultimately achieving great power for themselves.”

“But due to the differences among individuals and paths of Cultivation, the power that is transformed naturally varies greatly.”

“For example, we, Human Cultivators, transform Spirit Qi into Qi Power. Members of the Demon Clan at higher realms transform Spirit Power into Demonic Qi. This is a broad categorization; there are also some special powers if we delve into details. For instance, the Yuan Yin you encountered earlier, whose true form is Hidden Dust, not human nor beast, like stone and yet demonic, the power it transforms seems like both Demonic Qi and Spirit Qi. Similarly, there are certain plants and trees that become enlightened, to lump them with the Demon Clan isn’t quite right; they more closely resemble Monsters, transforming power that is pure and clear, highly compatible with the universe. For both humans and demon races, absorbing it would be beneficial and harmless. To put it in simpler terms, when you excel in Pill Refinement using aged medicinal materials, you are also transforming that kind of power.”

“In the Mountain Sea Realm, there are numerous races, and a plethora of different powers…”

Han Zhan waxed eloquently with his words.

Instead of directly answering Luo Chen’s question, Han Zhan spoke of the transformation of various powers, their distinctions, and the races they represented.

Luo Chen initially felt impatient, but as he listened closely, he unexpectedly gained some insights.

Recently, he was researching how to use the Cultivation Techniques of the Human Clan to create a Demon Cultivation Method that would allow Transformed Monster Cultivators to efficiently absorb Heaven and Earth Qi and transform it into demonic power.

However, there were many challenges, and despite his extensive knowledge, solving them was quite difficult.

Now, having listened to Han Zhan’s discourse, some of his doubts were inadvertently resolved.

The various powers, though seemingly unpredictable and vastly different.

But in essence, they all derive from the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

What he needed to do was to transform the tools (Cultivation Techniques) used by Human Cultivators to draw upon the powers of heaven and earth into tools suitable for the Demon Clan.

Perhaps akin to transforming the ropes used by humans to pull carts into reins suitable for oxen and horses to use?

The analogy might not be precise, but at this moment, Luo Chen didn’t mind.

His focus wasn’t so much on the sudden appearance of the Golden Core Cultivator “He Yuan,” but immersed in Han Zhan’s narration.

Although Han Zhan was now merely a wisp of remnant soul, the essence of his power remained unchanged, still that of a Nascent Soul True Master.

And a Nascent Soul True Master, in the absence of a Divine Transformation Great Power taking action, was already at the peak of this realm!

His insight was incomparable to Luo Chen’s.

Perhaps a Nascent Soul True Master already possessed the qualification to glimpse into the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Original Source of power.

The few words spoken by Han Zhan might very well clear many of Luo Chen’s inner doubts.

Indistinctly, Luo Chen felt more confident about the upcoming task of creating a Cultivation Technique for Tian Xuan, and he even felt that if he truly succeeds, it would greatly benefit him, too.

It was unknown whether Han Zhan realized how much his words had impacted Luo Chen.

Or whether he was intentionally imparting his understanding of the essence of power to Luo Chen through this discussion.

In any case, the conversation eventually came full circle.

“As for Body Refiners, it seems that they differ from Qi Refiners like us, but in reality, the Gang Qi they transform is still a manifestation of Spirit Qi. It just goes through blood and flesh transformations, focusing more on the physical body rather than the Divine Soul like us Qi Refiners.”

“In the past, the Gang Qi of Body Refiners was considered one of the major schools of power, comparable to the Qi Power of Qi Refiners and the demonic power of Demon Cultivators. It used to be a substantial faction, only that it declined over time.”

“Outside of these three major schools of power, there is another that stands on equal footing, and that is Demonic Qi!”

“This Demonic Qi is not what we commonly refer to as powers of Heretic Devils. Those Heretic Devils are simply unorthodox in their actions, extremist, and overbearing, but the powers they wield are not much different from ours. The true Demonic Qi is a power that emerges after Demon Cultivators refine their essence.”
