Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Amidst the endless sandstorm, two figures slowly moved forward.

They didn’t seem to raise a magic shield, yet all the sandstorms around them appeared to have no effect on them whatsoever.

”I wonder when this sandstorm, which we initiated, will finally dissipate?”

Luo Chen walked amidst the vast sandstorm, feeling rather lamentable.

Nascent Soul True Masters are the most supreme beings below the Divine Transformation realm in this world. If they don’t act, it’s fine, but once they do so without restraint, it often causes immeasurable impact.

Whether it was the Dead Spirit Domain or the Dieyun Domain, both were destroyed under such circumstances.

Though only he and Qing Shuang participated in this battle, each of their methods could hardly be matched by even seven or eight Nascent Soul True Masters.

The aftermath of the destruction they caused exceeded imagination.

The sandstorm, born from that time, had lasted for nearly ten days by now.

Not only did it show no sign of dispersing, but it continued to expand, sweeping from south to north, leaving heaven and earth shrouded in a yellow cloud of sand and rocks.

Beside him, Qing Shuang was indifferent, merely holding a magic item resembling a compass, frowning as she fiddled with it.

Luo Chen glanced at it and asked, ”What’s this item?”

Without raising her head, Qing Shuang replied, ”Star Positioning Disc.”

”Star Positioning Disc?” Luo Chen was taken aback, never having heard of such a magic item before. The scene he saw was merely a blurry constellation of stars.

Qing Shuang responded with an affirmative, ”This treasure was crafted by my sister in her leisure time. It records the teleportation nodes covered by that Super Teleportation Formation on Cangwu Mountain. I remember there are one or two locations here in the West Desert, but now, influenced by the sandstorm and myself...”

Before she finished, Qing Shuang’s eyebrows arched, her figure beginning to gradually fade, about to merge into the void.

Yet for some reason, the mana fluctuations around her body grew subtly discordant with this void.

Stumbling, she fell out of it.

On the other side, Luo Chen reacted faster than she did, shifting horizontally several dozen yards away as sparks extinguished.

Seeing this, Luo Chen frowned, raising his hand toward the void above.

”Hmm!”

With a muffled groan, Luo Chen felt a great pressure, like Taishan weighing down, causing him to relax his grip.

Seizing this opportunity, Qing Shuang finally flew away from the spot.

And just at the moment they left...

Bang!

A huge purple bowl overturned from the sky, covering an area of a hundred yards, nearly trapping the two inside.

”Oh?”

Outside the sandstorm, a light exclamation could be heard, seemingly surprised that the two could dodge this move.

Immediately, a Buddhist chant echoed from outside, transforming into a massive sound wave, completely dispelling the surrounding sandstorm.

Beneath the boundless desert, hundreds of figures watched the separated man and woman from front and back.

Luo Chen gazed at them, those hundreds were distinctly divided.

On one side, they wore simple monk robes, wielding sticks and precept swords, surrounding Qing Shuang as the focal point.

On the other side, they had varied styles of clothing, dressed typically for cultivators.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, his divine consciousness sweeping out, quickly locking onto the real leaders.

He looked across the void, ”I wonder which two friends have set up an array waiting here?”

A hearty voice echoed.

”Friend, last time I disrupted your demon-slaying matter, so this time I specifically invited Master Ci Hai from Wutai Mountain to make amends.”

Two figures descended from the sky.

One was the Human Clan Nascent Soul glanced at in a rush earlier.

The other, with a solemn appearance and righteous look, a bald monk—undoubtedly Master Ci Hai invited by this Zhou-named Nascent Soul.

At this moment, he was recalling that purple bowl.

Continuously shrinking, it transformed into a Purple Gold Bowl held in his hand.

A pair of Dharma Eyes, puzzled, fell upon Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, seemingly surprised to see the two together.

”I am Zhou Mingxuan, Patriarch of the Zhou Family under Wutai Mountain. This is Master Ci Hai of Zhenhai Temple in Wutai Mountain. May I know the names of you two friends?” Zhou Mingxuan spoke rather amicably.

Luo Chen pressed his lips together, intending to use an alias to brush it off initially.

But considering he appeared in his true form, he decided to save the effort.

”Luo Chen.”

Zhou Mingxuan was momentarily stunned, pondering deeply, but could not recall any powerful figure from the West Desert matching this name.

It was Master Ci Hai who, with surprise and uncertainty, said, ”The esteemed figure from the Eastern Wasteland, Alchemy Sect Luo Chen?”

”Haha, I didn’t expect my name would be known even here in the West Desert,” Luo Chen laughed freely, then nodded to acknowledge.

As he admitted it, a reverent expression appeared on Master Ci Hai’s face.

Beside him, Zhou Mingxuan was puzzled; Ci Hai’s lips moved slightly, explaining in a whisper.

Luo Chen was indifferent to their discussion and wasn’t surprised they knew of his name and origins.

In this realm, top-tier Nascent Souls’ reputations often transcended regional limitations.

Especially among those of the same realm, notable figures were often focused on by those with keen information networks.

Like the Three Great Independent Cultivators of the North Sea, the Chess Saint of Zhongzhou, the former Alchemy Saint of the Eastern Wasteland, Tian Douzi, and so on.

The current Alchemy Sect Luo Chen replaced the position of the Alchemy Saint.

What he was curious about now was the ostentatious display from the opponent.

His gaze fell on the hundreds of monks surrounding Qing Shuang and the arrays they had formed.

”What are you all planning to do?”

Having learned of Luo Chen’s background, Zhou Mingxuan showed more respect.

He spoke respectfully, ”Previously, I ruined your demon-slaying endeavor unintentionally. Deeply regretting it, I specifically invited Master Ci Hai from Wutai Mountain to aid you. Now, with the three of us working together and the Five Directions Sea of Suffering Array set by our side, we can surely slay this Demoness!”

Luo Chen’s brows furrowed as he looked toward Qing Shuang.

Coincidentally, she also looked back coldly at that moment.
