Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Although it is chaotic, there are always some useful pieces of information within.

Especially the fate of the other two ancestors.

”All the Great Powers of Mingyuan have fallen, we are free!”

This sentence was transmitted from a certain Divine Transformation Stage ghost creature, and any ghost creature with a bit of awareness, knew of this news.

This is precisely why the Nether Abyss is so chaotic today.

Without the Dark Abyss Sect, without the Great Powers to suppress it, this place has become a sea of chaos.

And Luo Chen still felt a great sense of regret over the fate of Ancestor Tianyuan.

He never imagined that the seemingly kind-hearted old man would choose to feed himself to the ghosts, and open the Mingyuan Prohibition in an attempt to perish together with Qi Xia Emperor.

But the result, it seems, would cause Ancestor Tianyuan to die with unfulfilled desires.

Qi Xia Emperor eventually managed to escape.

Not only that, in a great battle within the Nether Abyss, those strong ghostly path beings that the little ghost Luo Chen once soul-searched and worshipped, almost met with bad ends.

The dead ones died, the injured ones were injured, and the escaping ones fled.

Although many are still alive, they hide in various parts of the Nether Abyss, licking their wounds.

”That woman is truly incomprehensibly strong!”

Luo Chen sighed, and then began to ponder over his current predicament.

Crossing the Nether Abyss is absolutely impossible.

He did not have that kind of profound Qi power to traverse hundreds of thousands of miles, even a Divine Transformation Great Power probably could not do it.

Moreover, on the sea surface, before Qi Xia Emperor left, she unleashed a technique that filled the sea with countless Nirvana Sacred Fires, temporarily suppressing these evil ghosts.

In a short time, it would not dissipate.

”Can the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire break through Qi Xia Emperor’s Nirvana Sacred Fire?”

Luo Chen muttered, and in the Purple Mansion, the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit seemed to realize something and sent out signals of fear.

”You can’t do it either?”

Luo Chen shook his head, pondering other approaches.

Finally, his intention turned towards the Nirvana Sacred Fire that he had refined.

”If I could enlarge it a bit, could it serve as a powerful aid?”

If it were in the past, Luo Chen would surely not have had such a plan.

The growth of the Original Source True Fire could only depend on nurturing with Qi power, needing the slow work of time.

Or, seeking corresponding food for the Original Source True Fire to accelerate its growth.

Like the Prosperity and Decline True Fire was cultivated by incense burning in the Flame Alliance in earlier years, after Luo Chen practiced the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra”, he hunted demon beasts for it in the North Sea, absorbing vitality, even devouring a large number of high-grade Sourceless Fires.

But these, were useless for the Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Its own rank was too high, it was simply not interested in those low-order Sourceless Fires.

Unless it were similar to the Fifth-tier Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire, Vermilion Bird Divine Fire in the Blazing Refinement Prison, or even the Nine Refinement Beacon Fire existing in the Refining Heaven Cauldron, would it have an appetite.

But now, Luo Chen felt he had a bit of capital.

With a flick of his hand!

An elixir pill floated in the palm of his hand.

The pill had black and white colors, containing the poles of water and fire within, with yin and yang flowing on it.

This was the Two Forms Pill that Luo Chen had refined in the third trial of the Elixir Saint Trial!

”Since it was refined with your help, using it on you now means it’s being put to its proper use.”

Without a second thought, Luo Chen swallowed the Two Forms Pill.

Qi power circulated, and he began to refine the elixir.

Powerful medicinal energy poured out from the pill, and under his Qi power guidance, entered the Purple Mansion, but did not go toward the Nascent Soul, but landed on the golden bird perched on the green and white fire tree.

In an instant.

The golden bird bathed in black and white colors, contentedly closed its eyes.

Luo Chen seeing this, felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

”It is effective!”

Next is to wait for the Nirvana Sacred Fire to completely absorb the medicinal power of the Two Forms Pill and see how far it can grow.

One day.

Two days.

Three days...

Time slowly passed.

Though the medicinal power of the Two Forms Pill was vast, it shouldn’t take that long to absorb.

Luo Chen realized there might be something wrong.

”Where did it go wrong?”

Just when Luo Chen was pondering hard, one day a furious thought came from the Purple Mansion.

The Nascent Soul trembled, its eyes opened wide to look.

The golden bird had awakened at some point, pecking at the green fire tree branches and leaves under its feet.

The furious thought came precisely from the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit.

At this moment the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit was enraged, green and white flames suddenly burst forth, intent on attacking the golden bird.

The golden bird was not afraid at all, and although its breath was weak, it still maneuvered deftly among the green and white flames, even occasionally pecking a bit of the green and white flame into its body, making its golden light even more brilliant.

Luo Chen paused for a moment, able to feel two thoughts.

One was the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit’s shock and anger, it seemed to not have expected the little creature it nurtured as a nestling would actually want to eat it!

The other was the Nirvana Fire Spirit’s first birth of an ignorant thought—Hunger!

”Even if you’re starving, you can’t eat the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire!”

Luo Chen was frantic!

He couldn’t just stand by and watch as the divine fire he painstakingly cultivated over hundreds of years was devoured by another little creature, nor could he allow two divine fires to wreak havoc in his Purple Mansion.

With a thought, he enveloped the Nirvana Fire Spirit with qi power.

No matter how much it struggled or resisted, Luo Chen first teleported it out of the Purple Mansion.

This little creature was the most restless!

Only when the two were separated did Luo Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

”The house was almost torn apart by you two!”

Luo Chen sent a scolding remark to each.

The green and white little tree hung its branches dejectedly, feeling aggrieved, and remained silent.

The golden firebird fluttered its wings, completely unfazed by Luo Chen’s anger, merely chirping aimlessly.

”Hungry!”

”Hungry!”

Luo Chen frowned at this scene—clearly, the Two Forms Pill had fully awakened the fire spirit of the Nirvana Sacred Fire, greatly enhancing its spirituality.

But what was with this hunger?

As he pondered the information on the Two Forms Pill documented in the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch Pill Book, the golden firebird flying in the sky suddenly paused, and then, under Luo Chen’s startled gaze, flew away.

Luo Chen curiously followed it out.

Soon, he watched in surprise at a scene.

The golden firebird stepped cautiously in the flowing lava, carefully pecking at another flame even more brilliant and powerful than itself.

Luo Chen swallowed hard.

That was a wisp of Nirvana Sacred Fire that had seeped in before the door to the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land closed.

Not much in quantity, scattered throughout.

And due to the sudden intrusion by Heize Ancestor, the door shut, blocking any further seepage of Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Yet the portion that entered earlier still lingered within the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

Luo Chen never had time to deal with it, nor did he know how to handle it.

But now!

”Is it really okay to use this as food?”

Luo Chen hesitated.

...

”Is this Upper Nether Immortal City?”

Having survived the battle at Lingtian Pass and with the sect’s help quickly repairing his damaged magic body, the Shouyang Mountain Man was stepping out for the first time in years.

But arriving at a familiar place, what he saw and witnessed was utterly bewildering.

Beside him, an East Sun Sect disciple hurriedly replied, ”Reporting to Elder, this is indeed where Upper Nether Immortal City should be, but why it has become like this, the disciple does not know.”

Shouyang Mountain Man swallowed hard, his gaze sweeping over a city in ruins.

Amidst crumbling walls, flames surged furiously and intensely.

A massive hand seal nearly covered the entire Upper Nether Immortal City, with the remnants merely exposed in the gaps between fingers.

”Who destroyed Upper Nether Immortal City?”

”And did it with just one strike!”

No one could answer him.

And the most shocking revelation was yet to come.

”Elder Lu, the Great Elder asks for your presence!”

Shouyang Mountain Man steadied himself, anxiously heading to the Nether Abyss.

Upon arrival, three senior sect brothers and sisters had long stood silently, each speechless.

Leading them was the Great Elder of East Sun Sect, a renowned Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Eastern Wasteland, dressed in a Sunrise Robe and wearing a Dawn Crown.

Before Shouyang Mountain Man could even greet him, his gaze became fixed once more.

Mingyuan boiled over, covering thousands of miles.

Golden flames coiled, blinding to behold.

In the void, black dragon-serpents suddenly appeared, then vanished in a flash.

Anyone with insight would know what those were.

Space rifts!

Boom!

Lightning crashed down, exploding on the sea surface, spraying countless sprays and fire embers.

High in the Nine Heavens, clouds lingered long, periodically flashing with lightning.

With that single thunderbolt, everyone seemed to awaken from a dream.

East Sun Sect’s Great Elder slowly turned around, his normally dignified face now full of fear.

”Mingyuan Sacred Land has been destroyed!”

Before anyone could ask who was responsible, Shouyang Mountain Man suddenly produced a Sound Transmission Jade Pendant.

From inside came hurried voices, commanding everyone’s attention.

”In the Million Mountains, the Demon Clan stirs, seemingly poised for a comeback!”
