Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Swoosh!

On the misty square, Luo Chen revealed his figure.

As soon as he landed, a Daoist Sect disciple approached.

Before the disciple could speak, Luo Chen showed a jade token.

The light flickered on the jade token, and the Golden Core Cultivator understood Luo Chen’s identity with just one glance.

”So it’s the Guest Elder of the Star Gate, please come this way!”

Luo Chen nodded, following behind him, stepping into the mist as if passing through a thin membrane upon entering the square.

In that instant, his powerful physique felt vaguely uneasy.

”Is this the Defensive Array?”

The guiding cultivator blinked, ”Senior, you have sharp eyes. This is indeed the naturally formed Defensive Array of Heaven and Earth Peak. It’s usually not activated, but this time the Ascension of the Alchemy Saint is a major event. Although our sect is not worried about any trouble, it’s better to be thorough.”

So that’s it.

Luo Chen instinctively glanced back at the invisible and intangible Defensive Array.

Is it a naturally formed Defensive Array on Heaven and Earth Peak with a Fifth Order Spirit Vein?

He could sense its powerful inner strength!

Even his physique, comparable to a Fourth-order Wild Beast, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This is only partially activated, not fully triggered.

If the Array were fully activated, I fear even attacking with all my might wouldn’t break it.

Of course, it’s also because of his own overly powerful physique making him too sensitive. Others might not even realize such an Array is activated on Heaven and Earth Peak.

”What is it called?” He asked another question.

The Golden Core Cultivator was stunned for a moment, this Senior Luo Chen, as a Guest Elder of the Star Gate, didn’t know the name of this Array?

But he quickly remembered that the jade token indicated ”External Affairs.”

It’s likely a matter of insufficient authority, with many things not well understood.

He hesitated for a moment but still answered Luo Chen.

”Cut Off Heaven and Earth!”

Luo Chen was taken aback, what kind of name is this?

Heaven and Earth Peak, its summit unseen even from this massive Sea of Clouds Square, looks like it’s just halfway up the mountain.

It’s said that this ancient magnificent mountain truly has an aura of connecting heaven and earth.

Yet its naturally formed Defensive Array is called ”Cut Off Heaven and Earth Great Array”?

He wanted to ask more, but clearly, that Golden Core Cultivator was unwilling to elaborate, or perhaps he himself didn’t know the true effect of this Array.

After all, from when the Tianyuan Daoist Sect established Zhongzhou over ten thousand years ago to after stabilizing it three thousand years ago, this Array on Heaven and Earth Peak had never been activated.

How could the world know the wonders of the Cut Off Heaven and Earth Great Array?

Suppressing his curiosity, Luo Chen reached a southern corner of the Sea of Clouds Square.

Before approaching, he heard the sound of lively chatter.

”Senior Luo, we’ve arrived. The Star Gate Cultivators have been arranged to observe from here. If you need anything, feel free to instruct the surrounding Daoist Sect disciples.”

”Hmm, you may go!”

Luo Chen waved his hand, then walked inside.

As he revealed himself, many gazes turned towards him.

Externally calm, Luo Chen’s heart tightened suddenly.

For no other reason!

Only because at this moment, among the thousands of gazes directed at him, nearly a hundred belonged to individuals at the Nascent Soul Realm!

And each one, their realm was completely higher than his own!

Weaker ones at Nascent Soul Third-Fourth Level, stronger ones at Nascent Soul Sixth-Seventh Level.

These were those actively releasing mana fluctuations.

Most chose to conceal their cultivation level, making it impossible to discern their specific realm without Luo Chen actively probing.

”Is this the power of the Heaven and Earth Peak Star Gate?”

Luo Chen swallowed hard.

Even though he had repeatedly overestimated the strength of the Star Gate, repeatedly calculated the number of Nascent Souls within it, even accounting for natural deaths, he still hadn’t expected nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators.

Such a force, if placed in the Outer World, would be enough to dominate a continent!

And this is the accumulation of Star Gate over three thousand six hundred years, a part of the immense heritage of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect!

”Friend Luo, this way!”

As his heart filled with awe, the familiar Elder Qideng beckoned to him.

Luo Chen immediately walked over.

On the way, he nodded briefly towards the Winter Mountain Hermit and Lu Qiuzhen, who were observing him.

It was clear they arrived even earlier than him.

After all, they were legitimate Guest Elders of the Star Gate, and the Ascension of the Alchemy Saint was a top priority for the Star Gate, so they naturally received the notification earlier and made preparations in advance.

Luo Chen’s gaze settled on the side of Elder Qideng, where four elders were gathered together.

None revealed their realm, but each one’s tranquility gave Luo Chen a sense of an ocean’s depth and a mountain’s height.

Could these four be among the five Great Elders of Star Gate Outer Regions at Heaven and Earth Peak?

He couldn’t clearly distinguish them, as during the seven elders’ decision within the Star Gate, each face was blurred, even the Alchemy Saint was remembered only by a slender figure.

As Luo Chen approached, two of them left early.

Only Elder Qideng and an elderly man in a grey robe remained.

”Let me introduce you, Huang Independent Cultivator Luo Chen, recently joined the Star Gate.”

Luo Chen made a formal gesture to the elderly man in the grey robe to show courtesy.

Then Elder Qideng introduced the identity of the elderly man in the grey robe to Luo Chen.

”Grey Yuanhong Tributor...”

Just a Tributor?

It seems different from what I imagined!

But Elder Qideng wasn’t finished, he continued, ”After the Alchemy Saint’s Ascension, one of the five Great Elder positions in the Star Gate Outer Regions will be vacant. At that time, Grey Tributor will take the position.”

Luo Chen suddenly understood.

Meanwhile, Grey Yuanhong was looking at Luo Chen with great interest, continually appraising him.
