Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1726: Chapter 634: Heaven and Earth Big Formation, Hundred Craft Mountain Master_2

Luo Chen tucked away the map, his gaze fixing on the hazy silhouettes of several small islands ahead.

The number isn’t much, just seven islands.

The area isn’t large; each is about the size of the Inner City of The Great River District from years ago.

Connected together, they resemble a spoon.

”Cross the Seven Star Island, and it should be the Purple Spirit Sea Area shrouded in purple mist.”

With a smile, Luo Chen walked over the waves.

He didn’t choose to fly, instead opting to walk.

This was because, as the Black King stated earlier, the seven islands of Seven Stars Linked Pearls formed a natural labyrinth due to their unique terrain.

In the high sky, it was easy to lose direction.

On the contrary, by walking steadfastly through the islands, it would only take a few days to reach the Purple Spirit Island Sea Area.

It was precisely due to these Seven Star Islands guarding that the Purple Spirit Island, overrun with Purple Monkey Flowers, remained undiscovered by high-realm humans and demon beasts for countless years.

Only some low-order demon beasts and humans, ignorant and unknowing, crossed the blockade of Seven Stars to reach the Purple Spirit Island shrouded in toxic purple mist.

The rogue cultivator who initially discovered it did so due to low cultivation realm, allowing them to pass through by chance.

This reason is, in fact, quite understandable.

High-realm cultivators prefer flying over running, running over walking. Who would want to slowly walk for two or three days?

Luo Chen, on the other hand, didn’t mind.

Even without the ability to fly high, by deploying Carefree Wandering, his speed was not inferior to Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even as fast as some newly-entered Golden Core individuals.

Upon entering the first island of the Seven Stars, Luo Chen’s Spirit Vision widened.

Flying while observing this formation supposedly naturally formed by heavens and earth.

Every array master, at the start of their studies, whether from teachers or books, would be told that array formations fundamentally transform the principles of nature.

Extrapolating from mountain and river trends, the shapes of wind-swept clouds, and the vastness of stars, they deduce arrays that can be arranged by humans.

And this was Luo Chen’s first encounter with a purely natural array.

”Is the labyrinth array caused by the extreme similarity among the seven islands?”

”But such an array shouldn’t pose an obstacle to Golden Core cultivators with divine consciousness.”

The divine consciousness of Golden Core cultivators spreads broadly.

Using it to align with a specific reference point, the direction would never deviate.

With each step Luo Chen took, more doubts filled his heart.

Suddenly, he halted and froze in place.

Closing his eyes, only slowly opening them after a long pause.

”Am I moving?”

”No! It’s the land beneath my feet that’s moving!”

With a thought, mighty divine consciousness extended fully, enveloping the entirety of the first island.

Upon careful observation, this island was indeed slowly moving at a speed difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Realizing this, Luo Chen was slightly startled.

If the island moves, the fixed reference points chosen by cultivators also move.

Even at a slow moving pace, the cultivator’s swift speed could result in significant deviation.

This forms the so-called labyrinth!

The longer the time spent, the greater the displacement.

What about up in the sky?

Luo Chen looked up, watching clouds ebb and flow, as if even these white clouds were adjusting positions!

Witnessing this phenomenon, Luo Chen couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.

”The Seven Star Islands not only move like living entities, even surrounding clouds, water flows, and wind directions change with the islands’ movements.”

”Is this truly the magic of nature’s craftsmanship?”

Amazed, Luo Chen flicked his hand, and a piece of white paper appeared before him.

As he flew, he drew strange lines on the paper with ink.

This naturally formed labyrinth is indeed fascinating.

He intended to record it, pondering over it in his spare time upon returning, perhaps arranging a similar array.

With suitable geography or instruments, replicating the Seven Star Island’s enchanting powers was not impossible.

Then, arranging it in a cave mansion, abode, or retreat would certainly be an excellent setup.

It’s worth noting, in these years immersed in Tool Casting, Luo Chen’s Path of Array has become increasingly refined.

In this moment of excitement, he contemplated imitating the ancient array masters in deducing nature’s principles to create arrays, putting it into practice.

Time passed by gradually.

When night fell, Luo Chen had stepped onto the second island.

The white paper in front of him was covered with dense lines, yet without full insight, it embodied some essence of the labyrinth array of Seven Star Island.

However, the solemnity on Luo Chen’s face deepened, and the ink on the paper dwindled.

”That’s not right!”

”Based on my understanding, the earth’s Qi flow and water vein changes should conform to the symbol of the Earth trigram: nurturing all, progressing endlessly. It should flow smoothly, so why does it fracture halfway, as if suggesting reversal?”

Amidst the mysteries, his rapid flight abruptly stopped.

Standing in the middle of a vast forest, his eyes glimmered as he stared at the dark silhouettes of the forest that looked like the gaping mouth of a hungry demon beast.

Clutching the paper tightly, he softly muttered, ”This naturally formed array seems to have been altered.”

Speaking, he decisively retreated.

Wings sprouted from his back, his speed akin to lightning!

Just then, the lush forest suddenly came to life.
