Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Passing by a cloud-shrouded mountain, Zhou Fuqiu paused his steps.

”Is this the Zuowang Peak, renowned alongside Stone Chamber Mountain? Back when Master stood beneath Chun Yuan Ancestor, he cultivated here for quite some time. If I can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, Master hopes for me to enter this mountain to cultivate, extending the legacy of Chun Yuan.”

Zhou Fuqiu gazed at Zuowang Peak for a long while; his expression betraying no emotion, neither satisfaction nor dissatisfaction.

His steps resumed, sometimes swift and sometimes slow, traversing the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range.

As the moon ascended its peak, unconsciously, he had already walked out of the vast Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range.

The sound of surging waves rang in his ears, with Zhe River flowing east beneath his feet.

Suddenly!

Zhou Fuqiu’s gaze sharpened, seeing two figures standing side by side in the distance.

Seeming to sense something, the two figures glanced at him, then departed.

What kind of gaze was that?

One as calm as a lake, eyes like the moon, seemingly uninterested in him.

The other carried an assessing gaze with curiosity, even a hint of astonishment.

”Is that my senior brother from the Daoist Sect?”

Zhou Fuqiu wondered, furrowing his brows. Although he should have approached, for some reason, he stayed rooted in place, instinctively watching the two leave.

”There are still two matches ahead, no detours allowed!”

”Master and the others have great hopes for me. The Observatory Master and the other three Hall Masters joined forces to craft my Natal Magic Item. I must seize first place this time.”

”Let’s return for a good rest!”

Under the moonlight, a white figure ascended the current, returning to the Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range.

...

”Do you recognize that young fellow just now?”

”I don’t recognize him.”

”How could you not? He performed remarkably well at Big Qiuping, his Qi Power unmatched in his realm nowadays; even I have never seen such an outstanding Golden Core Cultivator in my lifetime. Did you really not notice him?”

”What are you trying to say, Senior?”

”Heh, I sensed something interesting from him; he seems to have some inexplicable connection with you.”

Luo Chen stopped his steps, looking blandly at Li Canghai.

For this reaction, Li Canghai was even more convinced of the anomaly he had perceived earlier.

He was an Array Dao Divinity Transformation; he could perceive the grand trends of the world and Yuan Qi trajectories far clearer than normal Divine Transformation Cultivators. Vast amounts of Yuan Qi surrounded Zhou Fuqiu, as if he could absorb them at will, which explains why he already reached the Ninth Layer of Golden Core at such a young age.

Most importantly, his Divine Soul’s aura might evade Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, but not him.

Especially when Luo Chen was standing beside him!

The two must have a connection!

Recalling Luo Chen’s audacity to confront Tianyuan Daoist Sect, this had to have some hidden preparations beneath it.

”Is that young fellow your...”

”Senior Li!”

Luo Chen interrupted him, marking the first time Luo Chen had interrupted his words since they met.

Facing such a rude action, Li Canghai slightly narrowed his eyes.

Luo Chen, seemingly indifferent, calmly said, ”We are merely collaborators, as I haven’t inquired into your intentions against Tianyuan Daoist Sect, I also hope you won’t meddle too much in my matters.”

Li Canghai chuckled softly, then waved his hand.

”I was overthinking it.”

Luo Chen let go of the matter, gazing into the distance.

”Let’s go, have a look at that God Descent Array you mentioned!”

The two figures flickered, swiftly rising into the Nine Heavens, summoning mist to veil themselves, flying toward East Yuan Continent’s outskirts.

Leaving the continent, crossing vast waters, they finally stopped amidst a cloud.

Their gaze fell collectively upon the island below.

Heaven and Earth Island!

Rather than an island, it was more like a smaller continent.

That fractured Heaven and Earth Peak lay there silently, seemingly unchanged over time.

Yet the world knew, Heaven and Earth Peak once connected sky and earth, appearing like this for only the past century.

”As you said, there certainly is a hidden Big Formation on Heaven and Earth Island, continuously absorbing Earth Qi from the seabed. Could it be the God Descent Array?”

”Indeed, it’s the renowned ancient formation in Mystic Realm, the God Descent Array.” Li Canghai nodded, eyes revealing a hint of longing: ”In legend, the God Descent Array was set by Mystic Realm individuals to communicate with Immortal Realm’s Immortals via Divine Perception. Its mysteries are profound; if it wasn’t for my understanding through the inheritance of Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, I might not recognize it.”

Saying this, Li Canghai glanced at Luo Chen with an enigmatic expression.

”Young friend seems to have ventured into Oblivion Sea, I wonder if you gained anything in the Land of Fallen Demons?”

Luo Chen frankly said, ”Somewhat fruitful, obtaining the Demon Monarch’s Pill Dao inheritance.”

Li Canghai thought, ”As expected!”

Since parting ways with Luo Chen at Ice Extreme Palace Blue Ice Sea Area, he had investigated Luo Chen earnestly.

Discovering that he, like himself, had ventured into Oblivion Sea.

After emerging, he was pursued by Moon Independent Cultivator.

Indicating he didn’t come back empty-handed, and obtained something significant, prompting Moon Independent Cultivator’s relentless chase.

Conjecturing that Luo Chen likely obtained Pill Dao inheritance; otherwise, one couldn’t explain his extraordinary Alchemy Dao Accomplishment.

However, Li Canghai himself wasn’t particularly covetous.

Inheritance is inheritance; absorbing and utilizing it to promote Divine Transformation depends on one’s fate.

He didn’t believe snatching it would ensure Pill Dao achievements.

Rather than seizing, better to befriend—thus gaining a connection with a Pill Dao Divinity Transformation.

Collecting his thoughts, Li Canghai lightly coughed, pointing below to explain: ”The God Descent Array’s activation is extremely demanding. Foremost, it requires a Dao Mark!”
