Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen remained unaffected, his eyes shining with a more dazzling golden light as he fixed his gaze on the battlefield.

After observing repeatedly, he had to admit that Jiuling Yuanjun’s technique was becoming more adept, increasingly formidable.

The integration of Sky Qi into Qi Power was truly domineering.

Over the years, he had become quite skilled in mastering the Yuan Tu Sword, yet he had neglected the refinement of the Chi Xiao Sword Qi, still stuck at just over a dozen strands, and hadn’t advanced to mastery.

This couldn’t be blamed on Luo Chen overlooking the cultivation of the ”Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture.”

After all, from the beginning, his goal in cultivating this art was to better control the Yuan Tu Sword.

As for that Chi Xiao Sword Qi, though powerful, it was one-time use, and seemed rather wasteful when released during battle.

Now it seemed he might have underestimated the upper limit of Chi Xiao Sword Qi.

After some calculations in his mind, Luo Chen had already decided to settle down and practice this Sword Scripture thoroughly.

Time slowly passed.

The battle finally neared its end.

Suddently, the nine-colored radiance retracted, revealing the broad daylight and blue sky.

Jiuling Yuanjun stood in the void, eyebrows curved in a smile, and cupped his hands, ”Friend, you let me win!”

Peng Xiang Taoist stood still, his hairpin slightly askew, his expression rather bewildered.

After a moment, he nodded regretfully, ”It appears I’ve lost; many thanks to Yuanjun for your mercy.”

Subsequently, he calmly flew back beside True Master Shenyuan, whispering softly.

Meanwhile, Jiuling Yuanjun also flew back, greeted by a tsunami of cheers.

Two victories in a row meant Mount Sky Realm would henceforth belong to Luo Tian Sect!

These low-order cultivators wouldn’t have to engage in real sword-and-blade warfare anymore.

It’s fair to say that War Devil Wang Yuan and Jiuling Yuanjun’s interventions reduced losses for everyone.

Next...

Reluctantly, Old Ghost Mo Tian announced that Mount Sky Cliff cultivators would withdraw from Mount Sky Realm, to find another to open war.

As the tens of thousands of cultivators were about to depart, Luo Chen suddenly spoke.

”Daoist Shenyuan, with a three-battle agreement, ending it like this is quite disheartening, don’t you think?”

At these words, silence swept over the crowd, everyone looking at Luo Chen with disbelief.

With two victories out of three, why continue fighting?

Why provoke a Great Cultivator?

On the Treasure Ship, a group of Nascent Soul True Masters anxiously spoke up.

”Alchemy Sect!”

”Brother Luo, why such actions?”

”Shenyuan is a senior, having attained the Dao long before you.”

”Indeed, he is no injured Seven Rhinoceros Commander; confronting him would be perilous!”

Even some Luo Tian Sect cultivators couldn’t help but intervene, urging restraint.

Wang Yuan was puzzled; Luo Chen had never been so reckless, why insist on this course?

Sima Huiniang and Gu Caiyi exchanged worried glances.

Li Yingzhang was about to rush up and dissuade his Supreme Elder.

Such was their reaction; the other sect cultivators and rogue cultivator groups part of the open war were equally curious.

Is Alchemy Sect Luo Chen really so eager for battle?

Not far from Luo Tian Sect cultivators, several dozen people from Qingdan Valley gathered, whispering quietly.

”Is that still Dan Chenzi?”

”The Luo Chen I know is always courteous, seldom initiating conflicts.”

”True Master Shenyuan is an elder, after all, deserving some respect. Why is the Alchemy Sect pressing the advantage, resulting in another fight after already winning?”

”Moreover, it’s a battle across realms!”

Towards these discussions, Ascendant Master Tao Wen of Qingdan Valley pursed her lips, her eyes showing a trace of nostalgia.

She had thought Luo Chen had changed too much, becoming a stranger.

But now, this scene merged with memories of Luo Chen leading people into the Flame Alliance years ago.

”He hasn’t changed; he’s always been this way!”

”He holds respect but never fear for those stronger than him in power and influence.”

”He never hesitates to seek revenge against those who wrong him.”

”So what deep-seated grudge does True Master Shenyuan have with him?”

Tao Wen lifted her long neck, gazing far at that figure.

That figure took two more steps forward, raising a single finger high.

”One move!”

”Shenyuan, how about we each make one move!”

”Or do you dare not even receive that?”

After a brief silence, the place erupted into endless chatter.

Amidst the clamor, True Master Shenyuan halted his steps, turning to look at the man with a smiling face, eyes cold as a deep abyss.

Next to him, Old Ghost Mo Tian constantly urged, ”Fight him, kill him! This Mount Sky Realm was originally your sect’s base camp for opening the Five Elements Realm, now taken by Luo Tian Sect. Who knows what price your sect must pay to regain a foothold? Shenyuan, will you really give it away?”

Peng Xiang Taoist from White Deer Cave advised, ”There’s no need for this. The Alchemy Sect is now wanted talent by Mingyuan Sacred Land. Unless you aim to kill him in front of everyone and offend the Sacred Land, this fight holds no meaning.”

True Master Shenhuo, who hadn’t spoken much, hesitantly said, ”Senior brother, with the sect returning soon, there’s no need to complicate things, is there?”

Facing the nearby chattering and many doubting eyes for his lack of response, the corner of Shenyuan True Master’s mouth under the black robe slowly rose.

”I accept!”
