Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The answer is unknown.

...

The Sword Halberd Ship continued forward.

This time, without the demon beast troops trailing behind, the journey was quite smooth, and the distance to Sun and Moon Island grew closer.

The cultivators on the ship, those of lower realms, could not personally witness the battle at Ice Pole Sect. They could only learn about what happened from the demon beasts arrayed outside the Sword Halberd Ship and the accounts from their elders.

A generation of top Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects dispersed like the wind and clouds.

High Order Cultivators, however, began to gather more frequently.

The next day, in the Emerald Tide Palace where Fu Chaosheng resided, they were intensely discussing the battle at Ice Pole Sect.

There were seven Nascent Soul True Masters present, with only Luo Chen absent.

But as the doors opened, everyone’s gaze turned towards the entrance as the missing True Master joined the meeting in person.

”Huang Independent Cultivator, Luo Chen!”

Fu Chaosheng briefly introduced him.

Luo Chen nodded to everyone and calmly took his seat.

Thereafter, he acted as an observer, keenly discussing yesterday’s battle.

”Even ancient monsters like Demon Monk Kong Chan have appeared, it seems the demon beasts of the North Sea are determined to counterattack our human territory!”

”Now with no Yuan Mo Sect suppressing the North Sea, and that Li Daneng being rather inactive, the North Sea is indeed in danger!”

”Doesn’t your sect have any thoughts on this matter?”

The so-called ’your sect’ naturally refers to the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

To this, Fu Chaosheng just smiled without speaking.

From the ever-present smile on his face, the others couldn’t glean any information, so they could only continue helplessly.

”I have never seen such a large-scale Nascent Soul war in my life, five renowned Nascent Soul True Masters, seven Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators...”

Luo Chen glanced at Fu Chaosheng’s smile, slowly getting an understanding in his heart.

The Tianyuan Daoist Sect is not without plans; they’re likely already making secret arrangements and preparing corresponding contingencies.

The Tianyuan Business Alliance is just the visible arrangement, while the Penglai Immortal Sect is the hidden hand that has been concealed for thousands of years, only surfacing when the great war between righteous and demonic approaches.

However, when the Tianyuan Daoist Sect will officially begin to interfere with the North Sea Cultivation World is still unclear.

”I know the Ghost Immortal Tower is strong, but ultimately, it’s only a fourth-order wild beast, equivalent to us in the Nascent Soul realm. Why was the great cultivator Ji Hanzi so easily defeated under its hand?”

”With just one roar, merely the strength of a roar, Ji Hanzi surrendered without a fight!”

”Indeed, at that moment, the belief in my heart almost began to waver. A Post-Nascent Cultivator, among us, is undoubtedly considered an unrivaled existence; how could he be so easily defeated?”

The main topic of discussion among everyone was not Demon Monk Kong Chan stationed ahead, nor the fleeting appearance of Divine Transformation Great Power Li Canghai.

It was that short yet extreme battle!

The Desolate Beast Ghost Immortal Tower against Ice Pole Sect’s Supreme Elder Ji Hanzi.

The latter’s defeat was indeed too tragic!

So severe that it was unimaginable to them, fearing it would shake the path of their Nascent Soul cultivation.

This time, Fu Chaosheng let out a gentle sigh.

”Ji Hanzi was already outstanding and tried his best.”

Then he shook his head and said, ”Do you know, among the Nascent Soul realm, what is the strongest type of existence?”

People instinctively wanted to answer Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, but considering the previous battle outcomes, each person’s mouth felt as if it was sealed.

Fu Chaosheng stroked his beard and said, ”Yes, it’s not the Great Cultivators we usually think of, but rather those who have comprehended the true intent of laws!”

Zhou Yunshen couldn’t help but ask, ”Can one really comprehend the true intent of laws in the Nascent Soul realm without getting lost in the universe?”

Fu Chaosheng retorted, ”If you don’t comprehend, how can you achieve Divine Transformation?”

Zhou Yunshen’s expression froze.

Such cultivation strategies have always been a matter of debate.

Some say one must first achieve the Primordial Spirit, using a strong Primordial Spirit to maintain their true essence, allowing unimpeded comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Laws. This is to transform first, then comprehend the Dao.

Others argue that comprehending the Heaven and Earth Laws comes first; crossing this threshold is what makes one a true Divine Transformation Great Power. This is to comprehend the Dao first and then break through.

The differences between the two subtly outline two distinct paths of cultivation.

From the six Nascent Soul True Masters of the North Sea, the answer Luo Chen received was the former.

And from Fu Chaosheng, a Holy Land disciple, the answer was the latter.

The former is a smooth path suitable for those with average comprehension but excellent talent, with relatively little risk.

The latter, a path that heavily tests comprehension, is the most esteemed path among Holy Land disciples.

”The reason I say Ji Hanzi did his best is due to precedent.”

”You may not know, but a similar battle occurred not long ago in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal World.”

”There was a peerless Demon Emperor, whose true form was the divine bird Azure Phoenix. Though at only the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul realm, she could instantly defeat five Nascent Souls, penetrate deep into human territory as if it were her own domain. Even Zhang Che, a prodigy of the Dark Abyss Sect at the eighth layer of the Nascent Soul, dared not act rashly in front of her, merely watching as she struck and killed.”

”And all this, the Demon Emperor relied on none other than the prematurely comprehended true meaning of the spatial law!”

”In comparison, Ji Hanzi pointing through space to explode Ghost Immortal Tower’s head, and finally forcibly escaping with his Nascent Soul, preserving a sliver of life - how can it be said he was inadequate?”

The expressions of those listening were incredibly vivid.

As some of the people standing at the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm, their intelligence sources weren’t poor.

However, compared to the Tianyuan Business Alliance running through the four states, it was worlds apart.

The Eastern Wasteland war situation, they more or less knew a little, but only now truly understanding a fraction of the background.

Thus, one by one, they asked about the real situation at that time.

Luo Chen was also extremely curious.

At that time, he was merely in the early Golden Core stage, and had already fallen into a prisoner’s fate, completely unaware of the external situation.
