Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The fiery liquor entered his throat, transforming into violent spiritual energy, flowing into the Purple Mansion.

Luo Chen was recovering his Qi power while surveying his surroundings.

The winding and undulating mountain ranges, the peaks towering into the clouds...

”This is the Jiuling Domain!”

Luo Chen had not expected that, within the directionless environment, he ended up heading towards the Jiuling Domain instead of Lingtian Pass.

A sweep of his divine consciousness revealed no formidable creatures within thousands of miles.

Only then did Luo Chen feel relieved and turned to look towards the Bikong Domain direction.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the vast black curtain that covered the sky and the sun.

”The Netherworld Huangquan Map, one of the two great spiritual treasures of the Dark Abyss Sect!”

”To deal with the Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian, Heize even brought out this treasure. If combined with the two Great Ancestors, Yu Ming and Tian Yuan... Di Tian is likely in great peril.”

Luo Chen sighed and shifted his gaze to the Nine Heavens above.

The thirty-six shining stars were too conspicuous.

The endless thunder lights seemed almost like a heavenly tribulation, fiercely suppressing an incredibly resilient green light.

Luo Chen frowned.

The presence of a Divine Transformation is paramount in this realm, completely beyond comparison to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Can thirty Nascent Soul True Masters, plus six Great Cultivators, suppress a Divine Transformation Great Power?

This seems too easy!

Luo Chen wanted to observe further, but suddenly, a terrifying trembling sound echoed in his ears.

Rumble...

Looking down, the gravel beneath was churning, the blue stones shaking.

”Something’s wrong!”

Without a second thought, Luo Chen stomped with one foot, soaring into the high sky.

The next moment, the mountain he had stood upon shattered with a roar.

Endless smoke and dust rose, and a massive amount of spirit energy erupted from the underground spirit vein, flowing towards the Bikong Domain.

Luo Chen squinted his eyes, his throat moving slightly.

”Is this the power of Divine Transformation?”

”In fully unleashed form, the range of extracted Yuan Qi is not limited to a city or domain, even extending to the neighboring Jiuling Domain.”

”And this is only because the Netherworld Huangquan Map limited the battlefield’s range. If Di Tian were unrestricted, and they engaged in mobile warfare, devastation would be inevitable wherever they went!”

At this moment, Luo Chen finally understood why Divine Transformation Great Powers must not act lightly.

Even though he had speculated on this before, experiencing it deeply ingrained the understanding into his bones.

”I cannot stay here for long!”

Without further thought, Luo Chen decisively used Ninety Thousand Miles, flying towards the nearby Taihu Domain.

The Netherworld Huangquan Map has already shrouded the Bikong Domain!

And the nearby Fire Ridge, Ba Dao Domain, and Jiuling Domain are all within the affected range.

If they continue fighting, the impact may spread even further.

Taihu, Fireworks Ancient Island, Piaomiao, Mount Sky Cliff, and even the Five Domains of Lingtian...

Luo Chen didn’t know the limit of absorbing heaven and earth primordial Qi when the three Great Ancestors of the Dark Abyss Sect joined forces, but he knew the further he was from the eye of the storm, the better!

After his departure,

the Jiuling Domain, where the Jiuling Sect once stood, began to undergo undeniable changes.

Countless mountain ranges collapsed, ancient trees of a thousand years wailed and shattered.

Rivers altered their courses, flooding into Bikong.

The earth cracked, the lithosphere’s magma burst forth explosively.

All of this seemed like the end of the world!

...

Luo Chen’s self-created Fire Escape Technique, combining the Melt Spirit Burst of the Golden Escape Technique and the Cloud Pattern’s Disperse and Gather from the Dieyun Sect, coupled with his strong physique, once executed, caused a great stir.

With this escape technique, it could definitely be a life-saving trump card.

Unfortunately, this technique is in the rudimentary stage, consuming a tremendous amount of Qi power and still needing refinement.

Even before mastering this technique, Luo Chen’s flying speed was one of the best among his peers.

Therefore, by flying at full strength without regard to Qi power, Luo Chen crossed the Jiuling Domain and reached the Taihu Domain in just half a day’s effort.

Buzz...

His tiptoes gently touched the lake surface, causing ripples to slowly spread out.

From this, the water surface appeared calm.

Luo Chen took a large gulp of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine and then heavily exhaled a mouthful of alcohol-laden breath.

”The Taihu Domain is still relatively calm; the influence of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi drawn by the Divine Transformation Great Power hasn’t reached here yet, so it’s temporarily acceptable to take shelter.”

Luo Chen spread his divine consciousness and soon determined a direction.

He proceeded along, bypassing the star-studded lakes scattered around.

Finally arriving at where numerous palaces stood.

This was once the Taihu Palace of a great Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect!

However, compared to its prime, only a trace of the Taihu Palace could be seen from the broken walls and ruins.

Truly a pity.

Luo Chen sighed and stepped into a relatively well-preserved, yet extremely foul-smelling palace.

A Great Demon once resided here!

Luo Chen quickly deduced the cause of the stench.

He didn’t mind, and with a flick of his hand, cast a Cleaning Technique, freshening the air immediately.

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged, quickly recovering his Qi power.

Although the Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine was excellent, the pure spiritual energy didn’t carry the aura of his divine soul. If not refined, excessive consumption could easily destabilize the Nascent Soul.

While Luo Chen was quietly meditating and refining the spiritual energy, deep within the large lake in front of Taihu Palace, a pair of lantern-sized eyes slowly opened.

As if sensing a familiar scent.

It curiously glanced around and ultimately looked upwards.

...

Splashing!

A large lake collapsed.

A massive flood of lake water turned into a torrent, flowing towards the direction of Bikong Domain.

A figure clad in a yellow-green flower robe, with hands concealed within, swept across the torrent without stopping.

The speed was so swift, the expression on the face so tense, as if something soul-reaping was pursuing behind.
