Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Luo Chen smiled slightly, cupping his fists towards the outside of the mountain.

”Thanks!”

Then, with a wave of his large sleeve, he turned and entered the cave mansion.

After the door closed again, the various divine consciousnesses slowly and curiously withdrew.

Regardless of how the strong ones of Mi Realm Mountain would discuss this later, Luo Chen first chuckled at himself.

Divine Skill?

More like Poison Skill!

He waved a palm toward the empty space.

This palm was ordinary, but it had a faint musk scent, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

On the wall of the cave mansion, a handprint appeared, followed by large sections of the stone wall melting.

It must be known that the cave mansions on Mi Realm Mountain were built with various precious materials.

High Order Cultivators might be able to destroy them, but to melt them as effortlessly as Luo Chen did was absolutely impossible.

”Unexpectedly, apart from tempering the physique, after reaching Grandmaster level, the Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique combined with the Fourth-rank Hundred Poison King Gu yielded such an unexpected gain!”

Luo Chen looked at his hand shrouded in black light, where traces of musk still lingered.

After the reformation of his physical body, Luo Chen abruptly discovered that his Origin Force had undergone some mutation.

It now contained venomous attributes!

This toxicity wasn’t of the Poison Spirit Corn, nor of the Zombie Poison, Feather Poison, or Chasing Poison type.

It seemed more like a compound toxin, combining the most outstanding characteristics of the toxins Luo Chen had refined through the Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique.

As for its true power?

Luo Chen’s gaze instinctively fell on the Black King in the corner.

At this moment, the Black King’s whole body was rigid.

It looked at Luo Chen in terror, ”Master, you wouldn’t...”

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Don’t worry, you have an Indestructible Body. If I control myself a bit, you won’t get hurt.”

The Black King was on the verge of tears, having no choice but to contribute to Luo Chen’s experiments.

...

Half a year later.

The Mi Realm opened, and war commenced!

When Mi Realm Mountain fully opened, and the South Border Nascent Soul True Masters no longer concealed their identities, walking the world in the name of the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance, it marked the complete unveiling of the human clan’s civil war in the South Border.

Songshan Sect, Red Leaf Sect, Moon Worship Sect, Burial Valley, White Cloud Temple, Purple Blood Sect, Hidden Sword Tower...

It wasn’t until the cultivators of these top-tier South Border sects formed armies that people realized the South Border was about to change.

Moreover, when the cultivator army from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect joined forces with them, the world finally understood that outside forces were involved in the South Border’s civil war.

Their numbers were incalculable, their strength unimaginable.

The cultivator armies organized by the major sects were like a war machine, unable to stop once set in motion.

The first to be attacked was Yujian Manor, an early vassal of the Gate of Life and Death.

In just one night, Yujian Manor, reputed to have eighty thousand sword cultivators, was destroyed under the assault of the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance.

The army advanced without pause, splitting into two forces, rushing towards the Golden Toad Sect and Xuanhua Sect respectively.

Their speed was swift, their momentum fierce.

Like the waters of The Great River, rushing forward, intent on submerging the Gate of Life and Death.

Amidst this surging tide, only a few brilliant waves were absent.

”Songyang, where is Master Li Tian?”

”He’s taking care of some trivial matters and will join us at the Gate of Life and Death battlefield afterwards, Fellow Daoist Zhan, don’t worry.”

”So, Red Leaf and the others went with him?”

”Indeed!”

”What about Qi Tian? I wanted to see his methods when we attack Unicorn Mountain.”

Unicorn Mountain, the South Border’s top Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect guarding the Holy Land Life and Death Gate.

The terrain there was perilous, the arrays outstanding.

Without a strong offensive tool, it was difficult to take it down as quickly as Yujian Manor.

In Zhan Bingtao’s heart, Ba Xiu Qi Tian was the best blade to break Unicorn Mountain.

To this, the Songyang Alliance Leader shook his head with a smile.

”Unicorn Mountain is not a concern, I’ll personally handle it when the time comes. As for Qi Tian...”

The Songyang Alliance Leader asked back, ”Do you think Unicorn Mountain is more important, or the Gate of Life and Death?”

Zhan Bingtao raised an eyebrow; the Gate of Life and Death referred to by the other was not the Holy Land, but the grand entrance protecting the Holy Land!

”Can Qi Tian do it? You must know, even my Dao Sect’s patriarch does not have much assurance in forcibly opening it.”

”Just wait and see!” The Songyang Alliance Leader said with a hint of mystery.

...

Without the decree of the Holy Land, the vassals of the many Holy Lands are like a pile of loose sand, unable to organize themselves.

In contrast, with prior planning, the Zombie Alliance army and the Daoist Sect army, once they mobilize, advance like a hot knife through butter, breaking through several forces in succession.

The army surges forward like pincers, continuously clipping away the wings of the Holy Lands, heading towards Unicorn Mountain.

Once past Unicorn Mountain, they can directly face the Gate of Life and Death.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, a glint departs from Mi Realm Mountain, heading southeast.

The glint is like a boat, parting clouds and dispersing fog.

Inside, several figures stand tall.

The most striking is a man in black armor, towering over seven feet in height.

His crown resembles a mountain, and his feathered wings are like celestial pillars.

His skin is like white jade, and his eyes are like the Cold Pool Abyss, capable of devouring one’s heart.

It is Luo Chen!

The Purple Robe Marquis sighed, ”In just one year, Brother Qi’s mastery of body refining has progressed so much, it’s nothing short of miraculous!”

A middle-aged scholar carrying a sword box beside him, despite agreeing, could not help but show a hint of dread in his eyes.

The aura Ba Xiu Qi Tian emitted that day shook the realms of the South Border, and that was merely the tip of his iceberg-like strength.

This caused many cultivators who had previously scorned body refiners to put away their disdain.

Luo Chen remained unmoved, knowing his own story.

What people see is the miracle of his transformation in one year.

What they don’t know is how long he’s been stuck at the Mid-Fourth Order.

At the age of 106, he broke through to the Ancient Desolation Fourth Order.

And at 200 years old, he had already reached the Mid-Fourth Order of Ancient Desolation Realm.

It has been over a hundred years since!

In his lifetime, he has never been stuck so long at any small realm.

Coming to the South Border, acquiring the suitable cultivation technique, along with ample resources, and his profound heritage, naturally led to thick accumulation and thin development!

Now his body refinement stage has reached the Late Stage Ancient Wilderness Fourth Stage, comparable to a Post-Nascent Cultivator!

Luo Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and directly posed a question to Master Li Tian, who was chatting with Hong Ye Granny.

”Since we’ve set off, Master Li Tian, shouldn’t you tell us the specifics of the journey ahead?”

Interrupted from her chat, Hong Ye Granny couldn’t help but frown.

If it were in the past, she would have rebuked him long ago.

But now, the strength Luo Chen has shown is enough to warrant her respect towards him.

Master Li Tian smiled lightly, ”I should indeed speak of it, but let’s wait until everyone is here to avoid repeating myself.”

Yes, there are helpers!

Master Li Tian had mentioned earlier that there was one more.

Who it is exactly, remains unknown.

But now, the time has come for them to reveal themselves.

Master Li Tian seemed to have an inkling, gazing into the distance.

”He... they have arrived!”

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

The flying boat’s speed slightly slowed, and shortly after, two beams of light descended onto the deck.

One was full of wrinkles, with hands like chicken claws.

The other was in white clothes and white hair, his gaze imperious.

Leading was the elder, who, upon seeing the many powerful figures aboard the flying boat, couldn’t help but laugh aloud, ”Heavenly Master, it’s been a hundred years. Is your health still good?”

”Elder Meng, why have you become concerned about my health?” Master Li Tian replied with a gentle smile, exchanging salutes with the elder, and then looked slightly displeased at the white-haired man, ”Weren’t you supposed to come alone? Why did you bring another friend?”

Elder Meng smiled slightly, ”Bai Xuanjun isn’t a stranger, and thinking that you, Master Li, might need help, I conveniently brought him along. Why, aren’t you welcoming?”

Master Li Tian’s expression stiffened.

Then, he took a deep breath.

”Welcome, why wouldn’t I welcome you? The master of the White Bone Sect is certainly a great help, and I must thank Elder Meng for considering it.”

Then, he turned to introduce the two to everyone, especially Luo Chen.

”Supreme Elder of Luo Sect, Meng Shentong!”

”Sect Master of the White Bone Sect, Bai Xuanjun!”

With just the first sentence, Luo Chen’s curiosity was piqued.

Under his subconscious spiritual eyes, he focused on the slightly short elder.

Is this the Supreme Elder of the Luo Sect?

Could he be the Demon Heart Gu Emperor?

And the elder also subconsciously met Luo Chen’s gaze.

”No need to introduce the others, I know them all. But this particular friend is unfamiliar. Master Li Tian, won’t you introduce them?”
