Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The transformation of the Fourth Realm Physical Cultivation is not just a significant increase in lifespan anymore.

The most important part is the ability to seal all blood and qi flow in the body, maintaining peak condition until the end of life approaches.

Unlike Immortal Cultivators, who because they focus on Qi Refinement and Spirit Refining, cannot control the aging of their physical bodies.

It was precisely because Luo Chen swept through with his vast Divine Consciousness without finding a trace of Wang Yuan that he speculated the latter had achieved a Leakless Golden Body.

Wang Yuan nodded, his expression calm, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

”I knew you wouldn’t fall so easily.”

Luo Chen laughed heartily, ”You have quite a bit of confidence in me!”

Wang Yuan helplessly said, ”Even without confidence, what else could I do? I heard this time the battle at the Dark Abyss Sect involved Divine Transformation Great Powers. No matter what we do, it’s all in vain.”

Luo Chen agreed with this.

In the presence of a Divine Transformation Great Power, everything else is but an ant.

Sima Huiniang was eager to depart, simply because she was too worried about him and their son, which Luo Chen could understand.

As they conversed, two other people quietly arrived.

Ling Fengzi was somewhat incredulous, ”You’re still alive?”

Bai Meiling, on the other hand, excitedly came to Luo Chen’s side, ”Master!”

Luo Chen nodded and, after responding to the two, waited for the arrival of the last person.

Li Yingzhang’s figure only appeared on Mount Sky Cliff after a long time.

When he saw Luo Chen again, he was equally elated.

”Yingzhang pays respects to the Supreme Elder!”

”No need for formalities.” Luo Chen waved his hand, then headed toward the palace in the mountain, ”Let’s sit down and chat. There’s something I need your agreement on.”

The rest awakened from the surprise of Luo Chen still being alive and curiously followed him into the palace.

Before long.

Li Yingzhang’s reluctant voice was heard from inside.

”Are we to leave the Luotian Domain we painstakingly built?”

...

Luo Chen’s return did not cause much of a stir.

In the entire Luo Tian Sect, only those close to him, such as his Dao Companion Cultivator and individuals like Ling Fengzi, who are at the Nascent Soul Stage, were aware.

Li Yingzhang held a special status, being the Sect Master of Luo Tian Sect.

Apart from them, the five hundred disciples of Luo Tian Sect were unaware that the Supreme Elder was not only alive but had returned to the sect.

Let alone those in the outer world who harbored intentions.

They were still absorbing the tremendous shock brought by the destruction of the Dark Abyss Sect.

In just three years, the detailed news gradually spread to these remote areas.

In discussions among the various forces large and small in the Luotian Domain, one could not avoid mentioning Alchemy Sect Luo Chen, who left with great fanfare some years ago to join the Dark Abyss Sect.

The Dark Abyss Sect was destroyed, so surely Alchemy Sect Luo Chen perished as well.

With this, the Luo Tian Sect had lost its greatest support, didn’t that mean they had an opportunity?

After a round of discussion, people despaired to find there was no opportunity at all.

Luo Tian Sect still had Nascent Soul True Master Ling Fengzi in charge.

Despite War Devil Wang Yuan not appearing outside in recent years, he once had an astonishing record of battling Nascent Soul experts.

Rumors had it that there was a Ghost Emperor occasionally appearing on Ghost Song Peak within Luo Tian Sect.

Three Nascent Soul Tier fighters were enough to suppress any petty practitioners in the domain.

Even the Lin Family and Gu Family, originally placed in nearby domains to monitor Luo Tian Sect, dared not make any move in these three years.

This revealed the substantial foundation Luo Chen had left behind.

In such circumstances, a not too insignificant event gradually spread around.

Alchemy Sect Luo Chen’s only direct disciple, Qu Lingjun, successfully broke through to the Golden Core Period before his lifespan ended!

It seemed the Luo Tian Sect intended to disperse the sad atmosphere of the Supreme Elder’s demise, or perhaps to stabilize hearts within the sect, by holding a Core Formation Ceremony.

However, this Core Formation Ceremony was only for the internal disciples, and no outsiders were invited to witness it.

Consequently, the dispersed Luo Tian Sect cultivators received notification and paused their activities, rushing back to the sect.

...

Half a year later.

Above Mount Sky Cliff, the sea of clouds surged.

A hundred-meter green jade platform rose from the ground, sixty-four Coiled Dragon Pillars stood suspended in the air.

Green curtains hung from the sky like waterfalls, fluttering with banners embroidered with talismanic patterns flapping in the wind.

This grand scene was all prepared for one individual.

However, as Qu Lingjun walked amidst it, his face did not show excitement but instead was full of melancholy.

Meng Qin’er, holding his arm, comforted him, ”Husband, today is your day of joy, why act like this?”

Qu Lingjun sighed, ”Achieving Golden Core fulfills my master’s expectations, indeed it should be a joyful occasion for me. But since my master has passed on to the Netherworld, how can I be happy?”

Then, he pointed at the surrounding red silk ribbons, his expression turning to anger.

”It should be all in mourning white, why is it such a celebration?”

Meng Qin’er softly explained, ”This was arranged by Sect Leader Li, he wanted your Core Formation Ceremony to disperse the sadness and secure the hearts within the sect, as you are the Supreme Elder’s only direct disciple.”

Qu Lingjun opened his mouth, he could understand the good intentions of the sect leader, but it was hard for him to accept hearing the master’s death upon leaving seclusion.

On the most glorious day, what he wanted to see most was that man who was like a master and a father.

But now, he was to use his brilliance to overshadow that man’s influence within the sect?

Luo Tian Sect cultivators, trekking up the mountain, were met with Qu Lingjun in the plaza, and they all saluted him respectfully.

”Greetings, Uncle Qu!”

”Greetings, Senior Brother Qu!”

In Immortal Cultivation, hierarchy is based on realms, but when the realm is similar, seniority is determined by order of entrance.

Qu Lingjun certainly counted as a senior figure within Luo Tian Sect, anyone who saw him would offer their respectful titles.

Meng Qin’er squeezed Qu Lingjun’s firm hand, ”Husband, cheer up. Later you will have to take the stage to lecture and share your Core Formation experience.”
