Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Instead, before his allotted lifespan ran out, he quietly came to the East Desolate Immortal World, and with Luo Chen’s token in hand, even paid a visit to Luo Tian Sect for a time.

It was then that he, seemingly unintentionally yet clearly on purpose, revealed this matter.

Only then did Luo Tian Sect empty its nest as it has now, going all out to support Luo Chen.

But as for why Luo Chen was determined to deal with Tianyuan Daoist Sect, this reason remained a secret.

Facing the pillow companion who had shared his bed for several hundred years, Luo Chen gazed at her for a moment, chose not to conceal anything, and laid out the specifics one by one.

When she heard the words ”Life Soul missing,” the woman subconsciously covered her mouth, her face full of shock.

Then all her doubts were instantly resolved, leaving only indignation and hatred toward Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

”Originally, I had prepared two plans. On the one hand, I would raise my strength to guard against the unexpected; on the other, I cultivated a clone, trying to take back my soul by a roundabout way.”

”That clone carries a portion of my split Divine Soul, but does not include the Main Soul. As long as he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, then when his Life Soul was seized by the Lan Ke Chessboard, he could silently exchange with that portion of my Life Soul that had been taken. At that time, the clone could find an opportunity to leave Tianyuan Daoist Sect and bring my Life Soul back. I would then have no need to become enemies with Tianyuan Daoist Sect.”

”After all, that is a colossal existence that suppresses an entire world. Who would truly want to face it head-on?”

”However, time will not wait for me!”

Luo Chen let out a faint sigh, released Gu Caiyi’s hand, walked to the edge of the cliff, and gazed toward the prosperous city of Lingtian Pass outside Shouyang Mountain.

Because of Qi Xia Emperor, the Daoist Sect suffered disaster, and Zhongzhou met calamity.

The two sides entered a tacit period of recuperation.

Yet Tianyuan Daoist Sect had no intention of waiting for death; they were attempting to reconsolidate Zhongzhou and rebuild Heaven and Earth Peak.

Once they truly succeeded, that already-crumbling situation would be shattered in an instant.

The God Descent Array!

This time, what kind of ”divinity” would descend?

It would surely be a mighty existence capable of dealing with Qi Xia Emperor!

By then, Tianyuan Daoist Sect would no longer fear Qi Xia Emperor and could forcefully slaughter its way into the Eastern Wasteland.

In such a situation, even if he later managed to take back his Life Soul, before that level of strength that could crush a world, he would still be nothing more than an ant.

Luo Chen believed that Tianyuan Daoist Sect, located in the Mystic Realm, had that kind of power!

After all, the Mystic Realm Secret Record that Youli Divine Monarch of the South Border left him before Ascension roughly recorded Tianyuan Daoist Sect’s situation: it was said to have more than a hundred Great Powers, several True Monarchs, and even Integration Great Venerables!

Before such existences, let alone lacking his Life Soul—even if he reclaimed it and Luo Chen, by sheer luck, advanced to Divine Transformation, he still would not be their match, much less protect Luo Tian Sect under his wing.

The clone Zhou Fuqiu had cultivated for less than a hundred years. Even if he was heaven-defying in talent, to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he was ultimately still short on time.

Pinning his hopes on him was far too illusory.

In the end, he still had to rely on himself!

The mountain wind howled, whipping the man’s Black Daoist Robe so that it flapped loudly; a cold and fierce killing intent surged forth.

The woman stood behind him, looking at his back. The fear and worry that had once been on her face gradually faded, replaced by the same firm resolve as before.

”Caiyi will walk this path with husband, no matter who the enemy is!”

...

Shouyang Mountain had originally been just an ordinary Spirit Mountain within Lingtian Pass.

Its only peculiarity was likely that it contained a Fourth Order Spirit Vein, which had been forcibly moved from another place when all the sects of the Eastern Wasteland pooled resources to construct Lingtian Pass to resist the Demon Clan.

The reason it gradually became special, turning into one of the most renowned places within Lingtian Pass, traced back to the fiercest period of the Human and Demon War.

At that time, many Nascent Soul experts gathered at Lingtian Pass, constantly defending against invasions by the Demon Clan armies.

In their spare time, these Nascent Soul experts often held small gatherings, exchanging Cultivation Insight and trading cultivation resources.

Luo Chen’s name as the Alchemy Sect Master spread during that period.

And those with similar ideas to his were by no means few.

A certain Nascent Soul from East Sun Sect with the surname Lu had no particularly outstanding talent himself, but relying on his personal connections, he frequently invited Nascent Soul True Masters to gather.

This was not some private get-together within a small circle. Each time the number of attendees was considerable, and the invitations were not limited to his own network; he constantly expanded it.

The Nascent Soul True Masters who participated came from various sects and factions, each with their own strengths; even powerful figures from the Mingyuan School would from time to time accept invitations to attend.

Even some Nascent Soul experts who had been enemies in the past would put aside their grudges during these gatherings and maintain a facade of harmony.

Not only that!

That Elder Lu would also regularly hold preaching conferences, giving lectures to the Golden Core Foundation Establishment Cultivators below and resolving their doubts.

And all of this took place on Shouyang Mountain.

Thus, these Nascent Soul gatherings and the preaching conferences for Golden Core cultivators were collectively called the ”Shouyang Discourse Conference.”

That Elder Lu even came to be called the Shouyang Mountain Man for a time.

Unfortunately, after one great battle, Elder Lu was grievously wounded; his physical body was destroyed, and his Nascent Soul escaped by a fluke. He never appeared again on the Human-Demon battlefield, and the name Shouyang Mountain Man gradually faded away.

The Shouyang Discourse Conference he had hosted also gradually declined.

Of course, after the war ended, many Nascent Soul True Masters still looked back on the Shouyang Discourse Conference with nostalgia.

It was the worst of times, for Demon Beasts threatened at every moment.

It was also the best of times, for a large number of same-Realm experts gathered together to discuss and exchange resources with one another; their cultivation efficiency far surpassed closing their doors to work behind closed doors in their own sects.

After the war, although the Eastern Wasteland was left with a dearth of talent, those who survived all advanced in Realm by leaps and bounds; this was by no means unrelated to the merits of that era.
