Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The Soul-Snatching Needle is a soul technique used by Han Zhan.

He transforms his Divine Consciousness into an invisible spiritual needle, striking the Divine Soul of his enemies.

In normal battles, because of the barriers of the body and the Sea of Consciousness, it can only distract a person, make their Spirit Intelligence confused, but it’s just for an instant.

When the two Divine Souls collided head-on, the full power of the Soul-Snatching Needle was displayed, causing Luo Chen such severe injuries.

At present, however, the cracks caused by these injuries have provided Luo Chen with an innate condition suitable for cultivating the Soul Splitting Technique.

”Restoring these cracks slowly would take too long.”

”Better to take advantage and split the Main Soul along the cracks, cultivating the Soul Splitting Technique.”

”There might be temporary weakness, but if it grows, it will surely be beneficial!”

Luo Chen is not of a hesitant nature.

Even if he sometimes hesitates, it is before making a decision.

Once he decides to do something, he will not waver, only go forward!

During Qi Refinement, he sought to befriend the Xiao Huan Mountain Duan Family, but when the Duan Family’s Ancestor harmed his interests, he eradicated the clan decisively.

During the Golden Core Period, he hesitated about going to the Land of Fallen Demons. But once he truly decided to go, he planned thoroughly and made all preparations. Even when danger lurked in the Land of Fallen Demons, he was decisive and never cowardly.

Now possessing core cultivation techniques to strengthen his Divine Soul Endowment, even if incomplete, he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Once the slightly completed Soul Splitting Technique was confirmed viable for cultivation, Luo Chen began the cultivation after resting for three days.

And the first step was to cut the Main Soul, splitting into separate souls!

Luo Chen, cautiously using an unorthodox doctrine, combined the Bead Curtain Lock with the Kai Mao Technique, along the cracks on his Main Soul, gradually cutting the Main Soul.

Rather than cutting, it was more about tearing!

The pain was like nothing Luo Chen had ever experienced.

Even during various past Body Refinements or Physical Nirvanas, he hadn’t endured this degree of pain.

Like cutting meat with a dull knife, and still doing it by himself!

Though Luo Chen possessed immense strength and determination, he couldn’t help but cry out in pain during the first attempt.

Such sounds, without the restriction of a sound-isolating array method, spread out, falling unpleasantly on others’ ears.

As if some kind of beast’s wailing!

Such wailing continued for over six months!

During this time, Tian Xuan and Black King occasionally attempted to enter the Earth Abyss, only to be met with a single word: ”Begone!”

The brutality and pain they sensed were chilling even to listen to.

...

Time passed slowly.

Unbeknownst to Luo Chen during his closed-door cultivation to consolidate his realm, ten years had passed.

The once ravaged Dragon Abyss Island has restored its vitality, showing no vestiges of destruction.

It’s said that the Spirit Qi on the island far exceeds what it was before Luo Chen transcended the tribulation.

Everywhere features Third Order Spirit Qi concentration, several feng shui locations even overflow with Fourth Order Spirit Qi concentration.

Countless Exotic Flowers and Herbs have sprouted, and Dragon Abyss Island has become a breathtakingly beautiful island within just a decade.

The strange dramatic change wonders everyone.

Even Black King has forgone the freedom of the sea, choosing to cultivate on the island.

One day.

Tian Xuan stands by a blue shimmering pond, curiously watching the middle-aged man Sang Jinghe continuously working with his hands.

He throws chunks of Demon Beast’s meat into the pond.

From time to time, he adds a few drops of green liquid into it.

Together, these things turn the liquid in the pond into an eerie deep blue.

”Will it work?” Tian Xuan couldn’t resist asking.

Sang Jinghe, while adding Spirit Stones into it, replied, ”It should work. It’s just a hypothesis I formed after borrowing the True Master’s Blood Pool method. The Demonheart Tree is truly peculiar; regular Spiritual Soil, or even my Tusang Gate’s Ripening Spirit Liquid, has no effect on it. So, I changed my approach...”

Turning to smile, he added, ”The True Master valued me that much, even rewarded me with Condensation Pills for condensing the Golden Core, so I must repay him. He doesn’t need Purple Monkey Flower now, the Divine Kite Tail was destroyed under Thunder Tribulation, and Dragon Saliva Herb grows naturally, requiring no special care. If I can discover the cultivation method for the Demonheart Tree, the True Master will surely be ecstatic upon exiting closed-door cultivation.”

He definitely will!

Tian Xuan thought as such.

The Master greatly treasures that small tree, having had Sang Jinghe study it several times before reaching Nascent Soul. If it could truly blossom and bear fruit, it would undoubtedly delight him greatly.

Right as the two talked, a dragon’s roar was suddenly heard.

It was Black King!

”What’s happening?”

Tian Xuan puzzlingly turned her head, looking towards a mountain ravine formed only in the past ten years.

The next moment, she saw Black King swishing and swaying, stretching its form, soaring out from the ravine.

He hovered in the air, seemingly waiting for something.

Tian Xuan grew increasingly curious.

Until an immense momentum began to surge from the depths of the Earth Abyss.

Sensing this momentum, Tian Xuan covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.

Has it been this fast?

Only ten years, has the Master fully consolidated the Nascent Soul Realm?

While she was in shock, the immense momentum gradually expanded, causing winds to stir, clouds to gather, the originally gentle sunlight seeming to converge.

A splash of blinding gold, Spirit Qi floated, and an immense shadow stretched over Dragon Abyss Island.

The shadow slowly solidified, turning into a white infant gleefully playing atop the True Master’s head.

Perhaps tired of playing, after a while, the baby submerged into the Heavenly Spirit Cover, vanishing.

Witnessing this scene, Black King, already on the ground, joyfully announced, ”Congratulations, Master, Nascent Soul consolidated, the Path of Immortal achieved!”

Sang Jinghe had long since knelt on the ground, loudly proclaiming, ”Congratulations, True Master, blessings upon True Master!”

Tian Xuan gracefully bowed and half-kneeled, ”Congratulations, Master, the Path of Immortal achieved, Longevity within reach!”

In the sky, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the realm solid beyond measure.

With a casual wave, a strand of Spirit Qi was captured from the world around.

With a thought, the power of Nascent Soul reflected the heavens through the Purple Mansion, instantly enveloping Dragon Abyss Island with an invisible aura.

Because of this aura, humans and demons alike feared, plants crouched, even the wind and clouds seemingly paused in the air.

At this moment, Luo Chen felt enlightened, and with a long howl, he exhaled all pent-up air.

Just as:

At first, refining Qi while dining on golden liquid, then returning to rise into the celestial.

Seizing the Lotus Platform to solidify life’s foundation, with the sun’s soul east by moonlight’s bearing west.

Dragon Abyss slumbered for decades, necking flowing rosy clouds with thousands of cups.

From within, brewed Elixir of Longevity, consumed to become one with heaven and earth.
