Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The already barren water vein, even Jiuling Yuanjun couldn’t draw out a life-giving stream from it, was forcibly drained, and a clear spring gushed forth.

Under the dim yellow sky, only Luo Chen stood amidst a lush green landscape, full of vibrant vitality.

Peng Xiang Taoist from White Deer Cave watched this scene, his mouth involuntarily agape.

His Chasing Deer Skill was reputed to be closest to a Divine Capability Art, capable of manipulating chaotic Spirit Qi. But compared to Luo Chen at this moment, it seemed like a mere child’s play.

”Divine Power!”

Jiuling Yuanjun clenched his fists tightly, constantly weighing the gap between himself and Luo Chen.

In the face of this continuously building move, he could not withstand it!

However.

”In a life-and-death duel, if my Great Nine Heavens River is unleashed, it would never give him the chance to leisurely perform this technique.”

Ling Fengzi exclaimed in his heart, ”It’s this move again, the Seven Rhinoceros Demon Emperor was once defeated by this very move!”

He glanced around at the others, Deng Taiyue appeared confused, as if pondering something. Fenghua Fairy was pale, her delicate body trembling slightly. Elder Fu’s expression was gloomy, filled with envy. True Master Xian He was utterly shocked, seemingly never having imagined such power from Luo Chen. Lin Qingxuan, also hailed as a prodigy, bit his lip tightly, showing defiance on his face, yet more than that, it was sheer frustration.

Ling Fengzi turned his gaze towards the elder shrouded under the black robe.

”Can he, reputed as the foremost cultivator of the Extreme East, withstand this move?”

Amidst the swirling winds, True Master Shenyuan’s black robe flapped wildly.

Facing Luo Chen’s continuously building move, he let out a soft chuckle.

”Alchemy Sect, you’ve harbored grudges for long enough! Very well, hopefully, after this move, we can laugh off our past enmity!”

The black robe trembled, and a withered right hand slowly extended, drawing a circle in the void.

The large amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi originally surging towards Luo Chen seemed to have part of its control seized, converging towards the circle.

With the supplementation of abundant Yuan Qi, the circle gradually turned green.

Then, the withered hand pushed outwards, and the circle slowly flew out.

”Go!”

Luo Chen sensed the sudden change, and ceased accumulating power, pointing out as well.

The originally lush Spirit Light, upon being pointed out, suddenly turned a ghastly white.

After pointing it out, he visibly sighed with relief.

Evidently, forcibly manipulating the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi at this moment posed a great pressure on him.

In the void, the ghastly white finger pointed towards the green circle.

Upon contact, a sharp and piercing sound of friction erupted.

Crack... crack...

If not for the fact that the range in which they dueled was too distant for the observing cultivators, any with weaker Divine Souls would have fainted upon hearing this sound.

But both Luo Chen and Shenyuan were individuals with potent Divine Souls, naturally unaffected by this sound.

Both kept a fixed gaze on the result of their respective extreme moves’ clash.

The finger continuously pushed deeper, breaking through relentlessly.

The circle continuously shrank, constricting further.

Suddenly!

Shit!

A soft crack sounded, and Qi Power dissipated.

The green circle shattered abruptly, taking the ghastly white finger along with it, crumbling in the void.

Gale winds surged forth in endless waves, pushing out layer upon layer like ocean waves.

Luo Chen’s expression shifted slightly, this was the backlash of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi following the failure of the divine art.

He swung his wide sleeve, cutting off the impact of various spiritual energies while closing his Purple Mansion, severing the subtle connection between the Nascent Soul and the heavens and earth.

At the same time, he looked up.

In the distance, True Master Shenyuan remained motionless, allowing the mighty Yuan Qi to brush past his face.

Seeing this, Luo Chen’s pupils narrowed slightly.

He knew clearly that True Master Shenyuan was definitely not in the Divinity Transformation Realm and could not be unaffected by Yuan Qi’s backlash.

Yet, this indifference?

Whoosh...

In his sight, the fierce wind whipped up the brim of a hat.

Under the black brim was a withered, emaciated, old face resembling deadwood, seemingly no different from an ordinary, dying mortal elder.

”Was this how the one who once intended to harm me looked like?”

As Luo Chen stood in stunned silence, the impact of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gradually calmed down, and True Master Shenyuan pulled down his hat brim, hiding his aged visage.

A hoarse voice slowly emerged.

”Indeed, it’s the younger generation’s turn to shine. In a hundred years, that title of the foremost cultivator in the Extreme East will belong to the Alchemy Sect.”

Luo Chen set aside his astonishment and smiled faintly, ”I dare not. Friend, you emerged later but surpassed earlier, blocking my proudest move. Your profound Qi Power and exquisite techniques are unmatched in the world!”

This mutual compliment was not limited to Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission but spread aloud.

The originally tense atmosphere, like a tightly drawn string, suddenly loosened.

True Master Shenyuan chuckled, ”Alchemy Sect, everything from the past, let it be written off today, and let’s part ways, shall we?”

Luo Chen fell into silence.

Though the other once intended harm thus, in the end, he gained much, and even the Luo Tian Sect was preserved under the protection of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Having fought already, though not a life-or-death battle, the Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger at full power was his second most potent move besides unleashing the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire. Continuing the entanglement would only be overestimating himself.

In the future, as he ventures further into Mingyuan, leaving the Luo Tian Sect in Mount Sky Realms, there’s no need to make a formidable enemy nearby.

Perhaps writing it off would be the best outcome.

Luo Chen was not one to hold grudges; turning foes into friends might be impossible, but making foes forcibly was never his style either.

Thus.

Luo Chen bowed, ”Friend, safe travels!”

True Master Shenyuan returned the gesture, ”Until we meet again, if fate allows!”
