Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Fu Chaosheng didn’t hold back, directly resolving his doubts.

”Zhongzhou, by nature, is the place with the most abundant spirit mechanism, and it is usual for it to have ample Spirit Qi.”

”Moreover, because this state is solely governed by our Daoist Sect, there is a complete plan for cultivating spirit veins, avoiding the over-exploitation of the Spirit Stone veins by rogue cultivators or sect cultivators from other continents.”

”Lastly, the Heaven and Earth Peak Star Gate is wide open, broadly attracting Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from all over. Their existence, when alive, serves our sect, and after they pass away, their vast Qi Power will be absorbed back into Zhongzhou, which is also why the Spirit Qi in Zhongzhou is becoming increasingly abundant.”

Luo Chen listened and nodded repeatedly, and his heart’s doubts were resolved.

Cultivators accumulate personal great power over time through cultivation, but once they fall, the terrifying Qi Power they amassed in life doesn’t just disappear; it returns to the world.

Fu Chaosheng went to the North Sea for two hundred years, and when he returned, he brought back seven Nascent Soul True Masters.

Even though this is quite a number, under normal circumstances, there would still be two or three people who join the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

This is the count of two hundred years, but the Tianyuan Business Alliance was established after ancient times and has existed for three thousand years!

Among them, how many North Sea Nascent Soul cultivators have been attracted?

What about the Immortal Cultivation Worlds of the Eastern Wasteland, South Border, and West Desert, these three continents?

If we add the Nascent Soul True Masters cultivated by the Daoist Sect itself, that number...

Even with a slight speculation, it inspires awe!

Since childhood, Luo Chen had heard the rumor of the Eastern Wasteland’s Alchemy Saint traveling to Zhongzhou to join the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, and it seems he’s following in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Not only that Alchemy Saint, Luo Chen also heard about powerful figures who left the South Border to join Zhongzhou’s Tianyuan Daoist Sect, achieving Divine Transformation, and even ascending to the Upper Realm.

All these instances indicate that the Tianyuan Daoist Sect has been executing the plan to absorb Outer Continent talent for many years.

Among so many people, ascenders are ultimately the minority.

Most of the Nascent Soul True Masters, when their lifespan comes to an end, can only turn into a handful of yellow soil, contributing to the strength of Zhongzhou.

”I certainly won’t stay for long; joining the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is merely to acquire the status of a Guest Elder of the Star Gate to return to Zhongzhou.”

Luo Chen smiled inwardly, having no intention of dedicating his life to Zhongzhou.

As for how to return at that time, Fu Chaosheng would handle it for him.

Subsequently, Luo Chen inquired about the peculiar situation of harmony among the cultivators there.

”Everyone regards the Daoist Sect as their lord, so they naturally won’t fight to the death.”

Fu Chaosheng explained.

But quickly, he shook his head.

”It only appears harmonious on the surface; in reality, the competition among the major families is extremely fierce.”

”You should have understood the hierarchy of families in Zhongzhou, right?”

Luo Chen nodded slightly, ”I have heard a bit, it seems that strength is distinguished by Giant Houses and Noble Families.”

”That’s a bit crude, let me explain it in detail for you!”

Fu Chaosheng waved his hand and softly recited: ”There are twelve Giant Houses, thirty-six Noble Families. Countless Han Gates serve, all forging the Tianyuan Sect.”

”This is the structure of the families in Zhongzhou, with the twelve Giant Houses standing high, the Thousand-Year Noble Families shining for a while, and even the destitute Han Gates aspiring upwards.”

This simple poem aptly describes the situation of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

In his introduction, Luo Chen also gained a deeper understanding of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

This Divine Transformation Holy Land, dominating Zhongzhou, overlooking the world, differs from the traditional sects based on master-disciple inheritance; it mainly focuses on family inheritance internally.

Although there are also some master-disciple inheritances, the mainstream is distributed among each family in Zhongzhou.

So-called Giant Houses are top families that have produced Divine Transformation Great Powers.

So-called Noble Families are major families that have produced Nascent Soul True Masters.

So-called Han Gates measure by the number of Golden Core cultivators.

As for below the Han Gates?

They are not considered by the Daoist Sect’s Dharma Eye, yet cannot be described as rogue cultivators; such small houses typically can only depend on larger families, and when their realm is achieved, they see whether to establish their own sect.

Luo Chen was amazed, and once lost his voice inquiring: ”Twelve Giant Houses, does that mean there are twelve current Divine Transformation Great Powers in Zhongzhou?”

Fu Chaosheng, speechless, could only remind: ”It’s ’produced,’ not ’current.’”

Luo Chen gave an embarrassed smile; he seldom lost his composure.

The thought of twelve Great Powers coexisting is quite alarming.

Knowing that, on the North Sea side, the Yuan Mo Sect has a total of three Divine Transformation Great Powers, and even if you add the Beili Great Sage from the Demon Clan and the Sea Emperor Whale, there are only five.

In the case of the Eastern Wasteland, the Dark Abyss Sect is said to also have three Divine Transformation Great Powers. As far as he knows, in the Demon Clan, there is an Ancient Demon named Di Tian, even if Qi Xia Emperor is added, there are only five.

Perhaps there are powerful beings at this realm hidden in the two continents, but the numbers definitely aren’t vast.

If Zhongzhou suddenly produced twelve, that would be truly terrifying.

Suddenly.

Fu Chaosheng whispered: ”If our sect wishes, it is not impossible to have Great Powers numbering the digits of both hands coexisting, or even more.”

Luo Chen’s eyes suddenly widened in shock.

However, the other party had no intention of continuing to explain, instead changing the topic.

”Great Clans of Ten Thousand Years are not immortal, and Thousand-Year Noble Families will decline; within our sect, regular assessments of Noble Families and Great Clans are conducted.”

”Setting the Giant Houses aside for now, Noble Families are assessed every five hundred years, and Han Gates every three hundred years.”

”If a True Master passes away, and the successors lack talent, without a second Nascent Soul True Master appearing within five hundred years, the title of Noble Family will be automatically removed, and they’ll fall to the rank of Han Gate. For Han Gates, the principle is similar.”

”To ensure family inheritance and succession, competition for cultivation resources among families is extremely fierce!”

”And this resource competition range is not only between family territories but also among the clansmen who have joined the Daoist Sect.”

”Every hundred years, the sect’s great competition is an explicit, real-knife real-sword contest.”

”And the once-in-five-hundred-year Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition is the most intense!”

”Our Fu Family has been fortunate; as I grew old, Qing Lan rose to prominence. But beyond her, can we continue to be fortunate? This old man does not know, nor dare to gamble. Therefore, I must seize this opportunity to ensure Qing Lan can gain more resources and a higher status within the Daoist Sect!”

”So, I hope when the time comes, you, friend, will do your utmost to help Qing Lan succeed!”

Speaking to the end, the red-cheeked Fu Chaosheng, despite his wrinkles, stared intently at Luo Chen.

Not only that, with a wave of his hand, Spirit Light flashed, and four Jade Vials were placed in front of Luo Chen.
