Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

That is a dragon!

It has no feathered wings, but be it rabbit eyes, deer antlers, or eagle claws and fish scales, all are enough for any cultivator with a modicum of common sense to know that it is the mythical giant dragon!

Moreover, it is a five-clawed golden dragon.

A five-clawed thunder dragon formed purely from golden thunder!

Facing this threat, Luo Chen remained unafraid, as the technique he had long prepared was suddenly unleashed.

”Roar!”

The same angry roar came from his mouth.

A giant dragon entirely scarlet-red roared out from him, charging directly toward the golden thunder dragon.

The initial momentum of the red flame dragon was less than the golden thunder dragon, but after it soared out, a large amount of Yuan Qi from heaven and earth began to pour in, causing its body to grow larger.

Especially within this Upper Nether Ruined City, because of Qi Xia Emperor’s wrathful strike, a large amount of fire attribute Spirit Qi remained.

Under the flame dragon’s pull, it all gathered together.

With the advantage of the terrain, the flame dragon’s power rapidly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it was not inferior to the golden thunder dragon, even showing signs of overtaking it.

All of this sounds complicated.

But in reality, it happened very quickly.

In just an instant, a dazzling halo exploded in the void.

Heavenly thunder collided with earth fire, destructive power spread in all directions at unimaginable speed.

Especially the hundred-mile land beneath Luo Chen’s feet, it suffered catastrophic damage.

Boom!

The already fragile ruined city, at this moment, faced spectacular devastation in the violent explosion.

Ge Wangji’s cave mansion turned to dust in the blink of an eye.

Only a Moonlight Ice Castle stood among it, emitting a hazy white light.

Luo Chen glanced at the ice castle, feeling relieved.

Then he raised his head to look again at the heavy thunderclouds in the sky.

He stretched out his hand to beckon!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Five beams of light, like swallows returning to their nests, were swallowed whole into his belly.

Then, Luo Chen coldly looked at the thunderclouds again.

This heavenly tribulation, as he expected, ultimately judged based on the transcender’s power.

Moreover, at this moment, Luo Chen’s true realm, after digesting the Fire Origin’s enlightenment, had barely advanced to the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul.

With these two combined, the thunder tribulation’s intensity earlier could only be handled by a strong great cultivator.

But even at the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul, the power Luo Chen could erupt with was not inferior to an ordinary great cultivator.

Therefore, the golden transfiguration thunder tribulation did not harm him in the slightest.

”Is there more to come?”

Murmuring softly, Luo Chen focused intently, his divine consciousness constantly capturing changes within the thunderclouds.

Facing yet another fruitless return, the heavenly tribulation seemed even angrier.

Within the thunderclouds, changes were continuous.

Besides the golden electric light, there were even flickers of purple and black electric light appearing intermittently.

But in the end!

Sigh...

As a gust of wind blew past, the massive thunderclouds gradually dissipated.

Under clear skies, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Those low order cultivators hiding far away, only felt everything was like a dream.

Some audacious folks even made their way toward Old Monster Ge’s cave mansion.

”I have a good relationship with that Old Monster Ge, maybe I can latch onto him a bit.”

”Such a strong person, yet chooses to transcend tribulation in unclaimed land, certainly a solitary figure. If I can become his disciple, I would have protection in future attempts to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.”

...

Whatever they were thinking, Luo Chen did not care at all.

At this moment, Luo Chen, along with Cang Long and Ge Wangji, was sitting in the Frost Eagle Shuttle, wandering above the Azure Darkness.

”You two seniors, chat freely. If you need anything, just call for me,”

Ge Wangji bowed and took his leave.

Cang Long glanced at the man and exclaimed with admiration, ”He’s quite a promising seedling!”

”Surviving the Human and Demon War, there’s always some exceptional qualities, even if it’s luck, it shows he carries some fate,” Luo Chen said with a smile.

Then his expression turned solemn.

”Apologies, Senior Sister, you just broke through but have not had a chance to stabilize your realm, yet must journey with me.”

”No worries, there’s no rush.”

Cang Long tucked her hair at her cheek, revealing a gentle smile.

She exuded intense Mana Fluctuation, an indication of a realm not yet stabilized, the Purple Mansion Barrier not fully formed, and the Nascent Soul still vaguely resonating with heaven and earth.

Just like how humans breathe, there is a faint airflow.

The Nascent Soul resonating with the Outer World produces Mana Fluctuation.

The most important thing for anyone who has just broken through a realm is to stabilize it, to prevent the Mana Fluctuation from being so intense.

Cang Long understood that the Upper Nether Ruined City was not a suitable place to consolidate a realm, but she was curious as to why Luo Chen did not return to the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, but headed east instead.

Facing this doubt, Luo Chen’s hand flickered.

A Jade Slip, faintly shimmering with light.

”An old acquaintance conveyed a message, so I have to meet him.”

”An old acquaintance?”

”Yes, Elder Fu of the Shen Fu Sect, have you heard of him?”

”Ah, it’s that old gentleman, not only have I heard of him, but I had the chance to meet him once when I was young. I didn’t expect you to have such a good relationship with him.”

”The more you interact, the better the relationship naturally becomes. But this reunion, I fear, might be our last meeting.”

Luo Chen sighed, the hand holding the Jade Slip felt a sense of heaviness.

Back then, after the Open War at the Luo Tian Sect ended, before the Jianling and Shen Fu Sects opened, Luo Chen gave two pieces of Voice Transmission Jade Slip to Jiuling Yuanjun and Elder Fu respectively.

That signified that when encountering danger, they could ask him for help once.

Jiuling Yuanjun’s piece was used in the battle at the Medicine King Realm.

But Elder Fu’s piece, however, was used because he was nearing the end of his lifespan, and so he specifically contacted Luo Chen, wanting to see him one last time.

This message was sent two years ago.

At that time, Luo Chen had just comprehended the Law’s True Intent not long ago and was at a critical moment of digesting Yuan Qi and tempering Qi Power, thus unable to meet immediately.

Moreover, he vaguely worried about the potential of someone from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect using this to lure him out.

Going now, two years later, he wondered if it would still be in time.

Cang Long blinked, roughly guessing some things.

With Luo Chen’s deeply emotional and righteous nature, the so-called last meeting was definitely not a severing of ties.

That suggested that Elder Fu was probably nearing the end of his life.

This was the true meaning of ”the last meeting.”

She consoled, ”In our generation’s cultivation, this is how it is. No matter how stunning and peerless you are, if you do not achieve Longevity, in the end, you are just a handful of yellow earth. You need not be saddened.”

Luo Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, ”Senior Sister is right, I am indeed being sentimental.”

Upon hearing Luo Chen call her Senior Sister again, Cang Long couldn’t help but feel helpless.

”I see even Heavenly Tribulations can’t trouble you, what’s your realm now?”

Luo Chen truthfully confessed, ”Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, just recently broken through.”

Although she anticipated that Luo Chen’s realm would be high, she didn’t expect it to be this high!

Cang Long only felt a bit dazed.

”Back when you left the Ice Castle, you seemed to be just at the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

”I’ve slept through all these years, how many things have happened, how many have you gone through, it feels like waking up and everything has changed.”

Luo Chen also felt quite emotional, ”Senior Sister...”

”Stop!” Cang Long suddenly raised her hand, her fingers pressing against Luo Chen’s lips, ”Either call me by my name or call me Junior Sister, those words, I absolutely cannot bear now.”

Feeling the warmth from a man’s breath on her fingertips, Cang Long suddenly realized the inappropriateness, instinctively withdrawing her slender jade fingers.

She glanced sideways out the flying shuttle’s window, witnessing the dazzlingly beautiful Azure Darkness scenery.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, naturally speaking, ”With my soul split, Junior Sister walked out of that Dream Bubble Shadow with me, don’t you know what I’ve experienced?”

Cang Long shook her head, ”Too blurry.”

”Well, then, this journey is long and nothing to do, let me tell you about my insignificant yet resplendent half-life!”

Luo Chen spoke with a tone of humor and a touch of sentiment, starting to recount past events.

Many things, he couldn’t tell those close to him due to fear of worrying them.

But Cang Long was different.

The past relationship with Luo Chen was both mentor and friend.

Now, the relationship with Luo Chen had reversed, but was still both mentor and friend.

Many years of dust-laden tales, saying it to her, was no harm.

Moreover, it would give her a rough understanding of the current situation in the Immortal Cultivation World.

”It all started with the Open War at the Luo Yun Sect!”

...

In the Azure Darkness, the flying shuttle passed like a firefly, faintly.

Under the starlight, the man and woman whispered softly, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Until the moon set and stars sank, the gentle whispers ceased.

Replaced by a long-unheard, old voice.

”You have finally arrived.”
