Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Within the cultivation room.

Threads of Spirit Qi gathered, forming numerous small vortices, encircling Luo Chen’s fingertips.

This scene appeared normal.

Yet in reality, it was fundamentally different from Luo Chen’s usual practice of the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger!

The reason being that the Spirit Qi present was not just the fire-attribute Spirit Qi under his control, but also included large amounts of Spirit Qi of other attributes.

The Five Elements, the division of Yin and Yang, the power of wind and thunder...

All of it, though the total quantity was small, encompassed all phenomena, contained everything.

For this energy that encompasses all attribute Spirit Qi, the Immortal Cultivation World has a general term for it—Yuan Qi!

Luo Chen never imagined that in a state of exhausted Qi Power, by utilizing the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger, he could perceive Yuan Qi, draw Yuan Qi, and even manipulate Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!

At that moment, he was astounded beyond measure.

Could divine power truly move Yuan Qi?

Due to this astonishment, he did not immediately attempt to restore Qi Power, and maintained a state of Qi Power exhaustion.

Thus, he was able, along with the Black King, to simultaneously sense the Yuan Qi disturbance at Lingtian Pass and speculate that a Divine Transformation Great Power had made a move.

Vaguely, he seemed to have discovered something new about divine capabilities surpassing techniques.

At this instance, he intended to give it a try!

Luo Chen took a deep breath and continued to draw in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The vortices at his fingertips grew increasingly numerous!

Spirit Qi of various attributes continuously gathered, following the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing, and surged forth.

The principle of the move Luo Chen created was actually not complex.

Drawing vitality from all corners of the world, continuously pushing and ascending, amplifying the power to several or even dozens of times beyond his own Qi Power output, this was termed as ”flourishing.”

Upon unleashing it, when it landed on an enemy, the attributes would abruptly and extremely invert, causing the enemy’s bodily decay and Qi Power to diminish, termed as ”withering.”

If during the process the enemy already had injuries, it would rapidly worsen, backfiring upon themselves.

Thus, he had simply named it ”Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger” at the time.

At the moment.

The large Spirit Qi vortex nearly enveloped Luo Chen entirely, his face became vaguely discernible.

During this process, Luo Chen’s main soul continuously paid attention to the changes within the Nascent Soul.

The Purple Mansion Barrier was wide open, the originally languid Nascent Soul gradually showed signs of perplexity.

The outer world’s Heaven and Earth, and the inner world of the Purple Mansion, blended like milk and water, the tiny infant seemed to return to a womb filled with amniotic fluid.

Luo Chen’s eyes, half-squinting, slowly relaxed, and a sense of ease emerged in his gaze.

Suddenly!

”Open!”

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Luo Chen’s most powerful split soul formed a Dao Law Method, and uttered a low command.

The Kai Mao Technique was directly applied upon the main soul.

In that instant, the blockage was lifted, Luo Chen awoke as if from a great dream.

Like being electrically shocked, Luo Chen abruptly released the tightly clasped Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger on his right hand.

”Huff... huff... huff...”

The white-robed Daoist collapsed onto the cushion, drenched in sweat, his eyes were filled with a sense of lingering fear.

A thought emerged, he lightly uttered.

”Assimilation!”

Just now, as the Purple Mansion Barrier opened completely, the inner and outer world interlinked, his Purple Mansion and the outer world almost became indistinguishable, a large amount of Yuan Qi attempted to merge into the Nascent Soul.

This scene indeed matched the countless records in books describing ”Heaven and Earth Assimilation,” perfectly!

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Luo Chen slowly raised his right hand.

His face sequentially displayed expressions of lingering fear, surprise, panic... until finally, transitioning into a look of contemplation.

”A cultivator’s Qi Refinement runs from inside to outside. Starting with Spirit Refinement Qi Transformation, Spirit Power liquefies, becoming extremely pure, then Condensing the Golden Core, fusing with Divine Consciousness to form Qi Power. Subsequently, Golden Core Transformation to Nascent Soul, leveraging the Nascent Soul to gain certain control over the corresponding attribute Heaven and Earth Qi, forming one’s own Domain. When the Nascent Soul grows into a vast Primordial Spirit, it is no longer limited to the corresponding attribute Heaven and Earth Qi, but can leverage the collective Spirit Qi—Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi—to battle!”

”Divine power, divine power, what exactly is divine power?”

”To perceive and commune with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi using the Primordial Spirit and to manipulate it.”

”Thus, the Divine Capability Art is the technique employed by the God Transformation Expert to leverage Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi through the Primordial Spirit.”

”These techniques, though powerful, have a high threshold for cultivators, the foremost being a mighty Primordial Spirit.”

”After my Qi Power was exhausted, the Nascent Soul became languid, presently deploying the Divine Capability Art is akin to a child wielding a large hammer, harming oneself instead!”

After contemplating, Luo Chen ceased risking rash endeavors.

Although he discovered that utilizing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to employ the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger yielded greater power than the single attribute Spirit Qi, in that state, his Nascent Soul was very likely to be assimilated by Heaven and Earth, thereby losing his own consciousness.

This act was overly perilous.

The Divine Capability Art, for a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, should only be lightly tasted, and absolutely must not be pursued excessively!

At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly recalled the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

If the intelligence was correct, Fu Qinglan, Shi Ju, and Gu Daosu were the ultimate victors of the Cave Heaven Competition, each awarded three Great Divine Powers.

Isn’t the Tianyuan Daoist Sect worried that their disciples might become deeply entangled in the divine capabilities, being assimilated by Heaven and Earth?

Without an answer, Luo Chen opted not to dwell on it further.

He readjusted his posture, returning to a seated position.

First swallowing a Top-grade Hongyuan Pill, then sipping a mouthful of Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine, he activated the ”Withering and Flourishing Dao Scripture” to swiftly restore his Qi Power.

Leaving the Luo Tian Sect, far tunneling to the Dieyun Domain, was not Luo Chen’s desire.

But he had no choice but to do so.

When Di Tu brought people to attack Baili Qingchuan, he found himself in a dilemma.

To kill, he couldn’t, as the opponent’s father was a God Transformation Expert.

To let go, that was impossible, amidst a great battle, who dares let a Demon Emperor roam freely?

Even after subduing him, he found himself unable to advance or retreat.
