Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

In the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

Thirty-six Nascent Soul True Masters were scattered around, each controlling a part of the Lan Ke Chessboard.

Although they seemed disorganized, at this moment their powers were strangely merging together.

This peculiar phenomenon lay in the aged figure seated upon the central high platform.

Chess Saint Ke Lianshan!

He used the array as a guide, drawing everyone’s power into himself, controlling the Lan Ke Chessboard, and extracting the spirit mechanism from the four continents split apart from Zhongzhou. This included the Western Continent, which had sunk into the ocean due to the Netherworld Sea; even now, remnants on the seabed were emitting a large amount of spirit mechanism, which was being absorbed.

As the massive spirit mechanism gathered and converged, the wasteland’s weather changed abruptly, and Spirit Qi surged like a tide.

Such a spectacle could almost be comparable to the ascension of the Alchemy Saint Chu Yan back in the day.

Within the cave heaven, it wasn’t just them present; there were also numerous Golden Core True Inheritor disciples placed here for diligent cultivation.

As the time for departure grew near, the Golden Core True Inheritors all moved closer, observing the Sect elders’ grand endeavor up close.

Among them were those with family heritage and broad knowledge, who subtly discerned some truths upon witnessing this scene.

Especially the one at the very center—Ke Lianshan!

His aura steadily climbed, the majestic pressure of his Divine Soul spreading outward, seeking to merge as one with the heavens and earth.

”Master Ke is attempting to seize this opportunity to break through to the God Transformation Realm!”

With just a glance, someone perceived the subtleties.

Soon after, before they could exclaim, their attention was drawn by a young man walking slowly on the periphery of the wasteland.

”Is that Senior Brother Zhou Fuqiu?”

”Ah, his realm...”

Someone noticed the Mana Fluctuation Zhou Fuqiu was emanating at that moment, and everyone was shocked.

Over a century in the cave heaven, everyone’s strength had increased, but those who, like Zhou Fuqiu, managed to condense a Nascent Soul in advance were truly rare.

As one of the top ten in this generation’s sixtieth-year grand competition, the other disciples were by no means weak; they were already the favored ones of this generation’s Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Given time, they were sure to become the leaders of the younger generation, bearing the responsibility to revitalize the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

Yet compared to the prodigy Zhou Fuqiu, they still paled in comparison.

Gumu Yu caressed the ring in her hand, where she had prematurely harvested a portion of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine; she already considered her merit complete for this trip and expected rewards from her clan upon her return.

It’s just unfortunate that there wasn’t much time to use for cultivation; otherwise, she might have been able to form a Nascent Soul like Zhou Fuqiu in advance.

Her gaze fell on Zhou Fuqiu, with a hint of envy in her eyes, yet also a touch of doubt.

”What is he doing?”

Zhou Fuqiu’s steps suddenly halted at a certain place.

This was the furthest spot from the Lan Ke Chessboard, but it offered a complete view of the entire wasteland.

Looking ahead, Zhou Fuqiu’s eyes revealed a pondering expression.

”With the power of a Spiritual Treasure, Ke Lianshan gathered the cultivation levels of the thirty-six True Masters into himself, granting him a temporary power comparable to Divine Transformation Great Power, enabling him to control the Lan Ke Chessboard to absorb the spirit mechanism from the four continents of Zhongzhou.”

”Likewise, in reverse, such vast spirit mechanism not only supplies the Outer World’s God Descent Array but also aids Ke Lianshan to further climb towards the God Transformation Realm!”

”Moreover, the thirty-six Nascent Soul True Masters within can also gain insights from Ke Lianshan’s breakthrough to the God Transformation, which will be of immense benefit to their future.”

”No wonder Junior Master Li once said that when the cave heaven opens again, there will be another opportunity. So that’s how it is!”

Cultivators wishing to breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm must leverage a Fifth Order Spirit Vein.

However, the focus isn’t on the Fifth Order Spirit Vein itself, but rather on the natural abundance of spirit mechanism that comes with it. With the aid of this spirit mechanism, Nascent Soul True Masters can closely connect their Divine Soul with the heavens and earth, roam the Primordial Energy Ocean, and achieve the Primordial Spirit during that period. As the spirit mechanism is consumed, the Nascent Soul True Masters will naturally disengage from that state to avoid being assimilated by the heavens and earth over a long period.

What Junior Master Li referred to as an opportunity was actually the massive spirit mechanism drawn by the Lan Ke Chessboard.

If one were in the Nascent Soul Stage and meditated calmly, one might perceive one’s own Law’s True Intent.

”But unfortunately...”

Zhou Fuqiu sighed lightly and looked up.

In the sky, a massive vortex appeared.

It was a portal, leading to the Outer World.

At this moment, Ke Lianshan was connecting with the Outer World through that portal, also transporting a large amount of spirit mechanism into the God Descent Array through it.

To stop the operation of the God Descent Array, one only needs to interrupt Ke Lianshan’s breakthrough.

Everyone present belonged to the same sect and naturally wouldn’t do anything to hurt their own and please their enemies, including Zhou Fuqiu.

But now...

Zhou Fuqiu took a slight breath, his fingers slightly curved, and following the understanding deep in his memory, strands of cyan gas gathered at his fingertips.

In this gathering, Zhou Fuqiu’s face turned slightly pale, as if he couldn’t bear this move himself.

Yet this move was ultimately about to condense into form.

Without anyone noticing, the surrounding vegetation turned a pale grey, the earth’s rocky layers crumbled into sand, and even distant mountains began to loosen.

Their vitality had been extracted.

No one noticed this, as the Nascent Soul True Masters were immersed in sensing Ke Lianshan’s breakthrough to the God Transformation.

Even Gumu Yu, who was observing Zhou Fuqiu’s actions, did not understand what he was doing.
