Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1803: Chapter 667: Phoenix Nirvana, Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire_2

Although controlling it is somewhat troublesome, it can still achieve the desired effect.

However, not all Earth Fires in this world are weaker than Sourceless Fire.

There exists one, though it still relies on Earth Veins to live, yet its might is not inferior to Sourceless Fire.

That is the Red Lotus Earth Fire!

This is the essence of Earth Fire, the elite among fires!

If one obtains it, it can flourish an entire family or sect!

At this moment, beneath Luo Chen’s feet, the lotus flower quietly unfolding its three petals is the legendary Red Lotus Earth Fire.

Moreover, it has reached the Third-Order Stage!

Just as Luo Chen’s breath became heavy, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire within the Sea of Qi grew even more restless, almost impatient!

”You want...to eat it?”

In the depths of his mind, Luo Chen seemed to feel the intent of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

As Luo Chen asked, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire suddenly surged higher, showing a definite intent.

Luo Chen furrowed his brow, ”How should I eat it?”

In his hesitation, he opened his mouth and spat out a pure azure flame, which slowly flew towards the Red Lotus Earth Fire.

Seemingly sensing danger, the three tranquil and spreading petals of the Red Lotus Earth Fire began to tremble.

The small pond, about three yards wide, also began to boil at this moment.

Waves of fire surged skyward.

In response, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire neither dodged nor avoided, directly engulfing it in one go.

The fire pond trembled even more!

Luo Chen’s eyes were keen, and with a heart connected to it, he could clearly sense the gluttonous feeling of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire facing a feast.

It’s just...the speed is a bit slow.

To let the Prosperity and Decline True Fire completely devour this Red Lotus Earth Fire, it would take at least ten days or half a month.

”I can’t wait that long!”

Luo Chen murmured to himself.

At this moment, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, remembering a past event.

Back then, he first attended the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering and participated in the demonic beast hunter examination task.

With Duan Li and two others, he jointly assaulted the White-Clothed Cultivator remains of the Yuan Mo Sect.

That person had many tricks, the most profound impression left on Luo Chen was the Ghost Realm activated by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which inspired his creation of the Senluo Fire Prison, a dominant killer move during the Golden Core Period.

But aside from that, the White-Clothed Cultivator actually had another method, which he deemed as a killer move, attempting to solve Luo Chen instantly.

Green Flame Bead!

A one-time offense Magic Item formed by a large amount of top-grade Green Sun Devil Fire.

A normal Golden Core cultivator would be dead or injured under the attack of the Green Flame Bead.

Luo Chen was different, not only was he unharmed, he even seized the Green Flame Bead.

Later, upon returning, he studied the Green Sun Devil Fire within the Green Flame Bead but gained nothing.

With the idea of making use of waste, he tried the Prosperity and Decline True Fire against the Green Sun Devil Fire’s strength, only to find the Prosperity and Decline True Fire had devoured some Green Sun Devil Fire.

At that time, he thought it was due to the Prosperity and Decline True Fire’s traits.

But obviously, there is no concept within the Immortal Cultivation World of Sourceless Fire being able to devour each other.

The original sources differ, how could they fuse?

Why, then, was the Prosperity and Decline True Fire able to devour the Green Sun Devil Fire?

With a sudden flash of insight, Luo Chen sat cross-legged high in the air, once again expertly activating the ”Phoenix Nirvana Sutra”.

As he circulated his cultivation technique, more and more Prosperity and Decline True Fire flowed out from the Sea of Qi, rushing toward the Red Lotus Earth Fire.

At the moment of contact, there was a mournful cry and a loud devouring sound simultaneously.

”I see now!”

Luo Chen’s eyes grew increasingly brilliant, his heart filled with excitement.

This cultivation method, reputably the strongest fire attribute technique in the world, even able to reach the Mahayana Period, exceeded Luo Chen’s expectations.

Not only could it alter Spiritual Root Attributes, it could replace the Five Elements with one system, cultivating with the qualifications of a pseudo Heavenly Spirit Root, and even manipulate True Fire to devour other Sourceless Fire.

If he continued cultivation in this direction, he might achieve supremacy among fires!

”Indeed, there is a legend of the Phoenix being reborn in fire, reputed as the supreme among fires!”

”How could I have only realized this now, truly negligent!”

Though self-reproachful, the joy could not be concealed.

After Luo Chen activated the ”Phoenix Nirvana Sutra”, the speed at which the Prosperity and Decline True Fire devoured the Red Lotus Earth Fire suddenly increased, more than tenfold.

If so, then Luo Chen need not rush.

Within the belly of the mountain, above the fire pond.

Lava surged forward, the Daoist sat cross-legged midair, forming seal gestures, fully controlling the azure flame to devour the crimson flame.

Time slowly passed.

Two days later.

Outside the small mountain.

Tai Sui exhaled hot breath, discontentedly looking toward Tian Xuan.

”Your master has been delayed for too long!”

Tian Xuan, who had already resumed human form, faced two Golden Core Cultivators, Tai Sui and the Cave Lord of Moyun, maintaining a calm demeanor.

”When the master emerges from isolation is his decision. But you absolutely cannot force your way in.”

”You!”

Tai Sui felt extremely impatient.

Inside the Five Elements Heaven, the places he disliked the most were the Thousand Peril Mountains and the Blazing Refinement Prison.

One had the sharpness of metal, the other the intensity of fire, making his Divine Soul extremely uncomfortable, and even his Qi Power was hard to mobilize.

This was partly why he seemed inadequate against Luo Chen and the Nine Yang Golden Eagle at the Thousand Peril Mountains.

Conversely, if he were at Yue Cang Lan, he would fare much better.

Especially the Wood Heaven Plain, it was indeed his domain!

If there, he even as a mere residuary incarnation had the confidence to face anyone.

”Tai Sui, just wait a little longer!” The Cave Lord of Moyun shook his head, understanding Luo Chen better at this moment with his strong composure and vitality. ”This place is exceedingly suitable for our cultivation, and the Demon King Qingyang must be affectionately absorbed in cultivation.”

”I’m just afraid he’ll be too absorbed!”

Tai Sui turned back and said loudly.

His voice was so loud it spread to all corners, as if trying to penetrate the Array and reach Luo Chen’s ears.

Swoosh!

A Banana Fan appeared in Tian Xuan’s hand, and the woman said coldly, ”Please show some respect!”

Tai Sui was about to say something when he noticed the reflected scene in the eyes of the Cave Lord of Moyun—fire shining up in the sky.

He abruptly turned around.

A pillar of fire surged into the sky.

Boom!

The volcano had erupted.

Large flows of magma fell like rain.

Thick black smoke spread in all directions.

”Master!”

Tian Xuan screamed; this erupting volcano was the small mountain where the master practiced!

She, holding the Banana Fan, rushed upwards, intending to extinguish the volcano.

”Wait, this is a dead volcano; how could it suddenly erupt?”

The Cave Lord of Moyun, shocked by the might of heaven and earth, was puzzled.

Tai Sui’s Divine Consciousness swept across, suddenly exclaiming.

”He’s there!”

Tian Xuan’s steps abruptly stopped.

In her eyes was reflected the image of a red-robed Daoist sitting cross-legged within the fire pillar.

Black hair flowing, eyes tightly shut.

On this red robe was a faint Qi Armor, resisting the external scorching magma impacts.

Behind him, blue and red interweaved, gradually showing something like a... tree?

At this moment, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The blue and red lights instantly surged into his body.

Luo Chen looked down at the three of them, then focused his gaze on the erupting volcano.

”An Earth Vein that can birth Red Lotus Earth Fire is a good place; it’s too much of a pity to destroy it.”

With a thought, the Senluo Fire Prison spread out, covering tens of miles.

Then, he formed a seal gesture and cast prohibitions across the small mountain.

With these two actions, the small volcano that was about to fully erupt gradually quieted down.

Luo Chen tunneled down, landing in front of the three.

”Let’s go!”

Seeing him quell the volcano’s eruption so effortlessly and realign the Earth Qi, Tian Xuan’s eyes were filled with admiration.

The Cave Lord of Moyun turned pale, deeply aware of the gap between himself and Luo Chen.

Tai Sui glanced deeply at Luo Chen, vaguely sensing something had changed, a hint of ”life force” was missing.

But he couldn’t understand what Luo Chen had done.

Taking a deep breath, Tai Sui pointed in a direction.

”Go there, the Five Elements Lotus Platform must be there!”

Luo Chen and others followed his finger; it was the central area of the Blazing Refinement Prison, with a mountain vaguely visible, as if ready to spread wings and fly.

What kind of mountain is ready to spread wings and fly?

”What’s that place?”

”Vermilion Bird Mountain, home to the Fifth-Order Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire; for the Five Elements Lotus Platform to ascend to Fifth Order, it must obtain the Five Elements True Essence separately. The other four attributes have already been absorbed; now the only possibility is there!”

Looking at that extraordinarily vibrant mountain, Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Fifth-Order Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire, is it?
