Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In front of a strong practitioner of such a level, what could an ordinary Nascent Soul possibly offer to move Luo Chen?

And Senior Sister’s Seven Orifices Exquisite Physique, which can forcibly elevate a cultivator’s realm of the same order by a layer, is undoubtedly the most precious reward, surpassing any miraculous elixir.

Jueqing Fairy swallowed, ”So is this the reason you’ve turned a blind eye to the rising rumors within the Sect and done nothing to stop them? You want to go with the flow, let nature take its course, and even half-heartedly fulfill this matter?”

Cang Long, perhaps having long figured out the key to this, appeared exceptionally calm at this moment.

”It’s more or less like that. As long as Luo Chen brings it up, I won’t refuse.” At this point, Cang Long’s hand that was brushing her hair slightly tightened, ”But after he came back, he never mentioned the matter of helping me at all, as if he didn’t care about it at all. I thought if he wasn’t interested, this matter would be left alone. But observing his actions in recent years, filled with urgency, putting in endless effort to increase his power, even recklessly seeking quick success, leading to such a disaster, it shows how much pressure he’s under. So I thought of being more proactive, but unfortunately, when facing him, I couldn’t get myself to say such forward words.”

A cultivator, heart unburdened.

But for a lady, pride remains.

Cang Long sighed, ”When his Divine Soul’s breath dissipated, I regretted deeply in my heart. If I had been braver, perhaps his realm could have been higher. Maybe he could have handled the disaster more calmly, and he might not have died.”

”Senior Sister, it’s not necessary.” Jueqing Fairy shook her head, not agreeing with this behavior, ”But he has two officially wedded Dao Companion Cultivators!”

Back when Luo Chen ascended to the Golden Core Period, a Golden Core Ceremony was held.

And that ceremony was also the Dao Companion Union Ceremony for him, Sima Huiniang, and Gu Caiyi, with Jueqing Fairy coincidentally representing Ice Castle that day.

In her view, Luo Chen already having two Dao Companions was quite excessive for an immortal cultivator pursuing a tranquil heart; how could he possibly add more wives or concubines?

From Luo Chen’s actions over the years, it indeed seemed he had no such intentions.

Senior Sister getting involved would only bring about gossip.

Especially, there were rumors of Gu Caiyi being jealous!

Cang Long chuckled, ”If he already has two, why not have a third Dao Companion? For a great man like him, having many wives and concubines would be only natural.”

Jueqing Fairy was dumbfounded, almost unable to recognize her own senior sister.

How could the Cang Long Fairy, once putting Ice Castle first, always steady and composed, say such rash words?

Was it that the years of being sealed in ice hurt her mind?

Or losing the burdens of the sect, she was now letting loose?

Or could it be that Luo Chen had applied some kind of bewitching technique while treating Senior Sister over the years?

Jueqing Fairy couldn’t tell, nor did Cang Long care to explain. Instead, after saying these words, she visibly lightened up.

”Fortunately, Luo Chen’s fine; his Divine Soul’s breath quickly reappeared after disappearing. When he wakes up, I’ll express my feelings directly!”

”Senior Sister!”

”Wait!”

Their conversation abruptly halted.

Cang Long raised her hand, stopping Jueqing Fairy mid-sentence, her beautiful eyes fixed on the distant center of the lake.

There, a vortex was slowly taking shape.

”It seems he’s waking up!”

Cang Long exclaimed in surprise, then immediately instructed Jueqing Fairy.

”Quickly, go inform the other sect members!”

Then, she summoned a bridge of ice, crossing over the increasingly turbulent surface of Ming Lake, flying towards the center of the vortex.

...

At the bottom of Ming Lake.

A great cauldron stood firmly there.

Surrounded by Ming Shui, it was not corroded at all. Instead, a large amount of water vapor was absorbed into it, as if the two were originally of the same source.

Inside the cauldron, it was unexpectedly dry, even giving off an unbearable heat.

A Daoist figure sat cross-legged inside, shrouded in a thin layer of golden light.

Upon closer look, one would notice that the golden light was clearly clusters of golden flames that were constantly burning.

However, these flames were not burning anything physical, but some intangible phenomenon.

Suddenly!

The Daoist’s eyes, long closed, twitched for a moment, as if about to open at any time.

And within the Sea of Consciousness, a massive Divine Soul had already formed!

At this moment, this Divine Soul was still illusory, but in terms of appearance and temperament, it was almost identical to Luo Chen’s outer form, showing no discernible difference.

And notably, this Divine Soul was exceptionally robust, seemingly unfazed by Heavenly Thunder, Earth Fire, or Fiery Sun Gang Wind!

This was quite surprising.

It’s known that a cultivator’s Divine Soul is extremely fragile, only becoming fearless of external yang forces after forming a Primordial Spirit.

Thus the phrase ”Yin Soul Crossing Yang, Nascent Soul Transformation God” exists.

What Luo Chen didn’t expect was, even without forcefully condensing a Primordial Spirit, his Divine Soul alone could achieve such a state.

”Is this the transformation brought about by completing the last of the Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvana?”

”Directly possessing signs of Divine Transformation!”

The ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” records a method of transformation called Nine Tribulations and Three Nirvana.

The three Nirvana correspond to the three treasures Essence, Qi, and Spirit, namely Body Nirvana, Magic Power Nirvana, and Divine Soul Nirvana.

Each transformation also involves three different aspects.

The Divine Soul Nirvana includes Soul Nirvana, Po Nirvana, and Yi Nirvana. Luo Chen’s first attempt at Divine Soul Nirvana on Cangwu Mountain failed for an obvious reason.
