Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The complete Lan Ke Chessboard is the most important among the three treasures of the Daoist Sect.

It is not a supreme treasure for attack, and its defensive might is merely average.

Its main role is to suppress the Qi fortune of an entire continent, absorbing spiritual energy from the external world.

For thousands of years, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect has become the foremost Divine Transformation Holy Land in the Mountain Sea Realm, and the Lan Ke Chessboard has played a significant role!

But to say it has no defensive capability at all is a complete mistake.

Even the Qi Xia Emperor had to shatter the whole of Zhongzhou to severely damage the Lan Ke Chessboard, indicating that it also has some defensive power.

Merely relying on Luo Chen’s current incarnation, indeed, it cannot be broken.

Especially in the previous grand battle, although he moved freely and easily killed many Nascent Soul True Masters, this physical body, which hadn’t been thoroughly tempered, ultimately became overburdened after absorbing copious amounts of power from the Ming Water Spring Eye.

Was it that Luo Chen didn’t want to block Ming Yan’s sword?

No!

It was simply that at that moment, Luo Chen’s body could no longer withstand more of the Spring Eye’s power.

If used further, it would collapse.

Thus, Luo Chen relied on a soul technique from his Life Soul memory—the Ghost-God Evading Technique—to narrowly dodge Ming Yan’s lethal strike.

Now, facing the complete Lan Ke Chessboard, facing Ke Lian Shan burning his essence in Returning Light and Reflecting, Luo Chen’s expression was serene, his mental state at ease.

For certain things, one must ultimately give up other things.

The Life Soul is something he must keep, while this incarnation is merely a tool, even if it carries the power of the Ming Water Spring Eye.

”Let it be abandoned!”

Murmuring, Luo Chen floated into the air, his fingers continuously pointing at himself.

Vaguely, there was the sound of chains being unlocked echoing in his ears.

In the depth of the Sea of Consciousness, a voice filled with agitation, despair, and even reluctance shouted.

”No!”

Luo Chen was indifferent, and with his final finger, he heavily pointed at the center of his brow.

”Jade Shattering Ban, open!”

The somber voice slowly echoed in the Cave Heaven.

In the distance, Ming Yan looked on in horror as the bizarre scene unfolded.

Luo Chen’s physical body, as if melting, turned into streams of black liquid, eerily floating in the void.

Then, a spring eye, resembling an eye, suddenly emerged.

From the spring eye, a torrent of liquid flowed, deep as ink.

That is...Ming Shui!

A massive amount of Ming Shui surged, rushing toward Ke Lian Shan.

Droplets gathered into a stream, which turned into a river, forming an abyss.

Countless Ming Shui formed a vast river, relentlessly washing over the Lan Ke Chessboard.

One protected the Dark Abyss Sect for thousands of years, binding billions of demon ghosts.

The other suppressed Zhongzhou’s Qi fortune, achieving the Daoist Sect’s foremost reputation.

At this moment, in a secluded Cave Heaven unknown to outsiders, the purest collision unfolded.

Were the two evenly matched?

Until the spring eye, growing visibly larger, suddenly expanded, its destructive aura instantly filled the entire Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

In the void, only one sound was heard.

”Boom!”

The next moment!

The Ming Water Spring Eye, once nurturing the Nether Abyss, exploded with a tremendous blast.

Bang!

Extreme and unparalleled force, like a heavy hammer, struck the Lan Ke Chessboard.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the Lan Ke Chessboard once more.

Ke Lian Shan widened his eyes in disbelief at this scene, then the relentless flow of Ming Shui rushed in.

The opponent was even willing to self-destruct such a cherished treasure, disregarding even their own physical body?

His heart had no time to react further, knowing he was ultimately defeated.

After detonating the Ming Water Spring Eye, a stream of light used the immense counterforce to rush towards the vortex leading to the Outer World.

Ke Lian Shan watched helplessly as these events unfolded, unwillingly facing the reality that the Infinite Nether Water would soon engulf him.

”Failed, did I?”

”No!”

”As long as I am still here, there is hope.”

Murmuring, Ke Lian Shan waved his hand.

The Lan Ke Chessboard protecting him transformed into a light shield, falling upon several places on the wasteland.

Then, facing the vast surge of Ming Shui calmly.

Ming Yan knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her sword, a light shield from the Lan Ke Chessboard protecting her, but her eyes were fixed only on the silhouette of the elder submerged in the Ming Shui.

Tears blurred her vision, only lamenting.

”Senior Brother!”

Ke Lian Shan’s figure eventually disappeared, while the vast Ming Shui rolled forward, engulfing the vast wasteland, roaring toward the distance.

The entire Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, as if descending into the Netherworld!

...

”Fiend, you cannot stop me!”

Within the sky-touching pillar of light connecting the cosmic star sea, a roar filled with endless killing intent.

A shadow loomed in the sky, steadily approaching the Mountain Sea Realm.

In front of him was a peculiar space.

This space was neither in the Mountain Sea Realm nor in the Mystic Realm, seemingly forming its own world in the universe.

Because of this space’s existence, it separated the descent of Bai Hu True Monarch into this realm.

After Bai Hu True Monarch roared, a sharp blade light cut out from his hand.

That peculiar space suddenly shattered!

Bai Hu True Monarch took another step closer!

Facing all this, Qing Shuang remained calm, silent, only gazing into the void, continuously forming hand seals.

Buds of white flowers emerged from the Primordial Qi of the void, then unfolded.

With each bloom, bizarre spaces formed, like towering mountains, blocking Bai Hu True Monarch’s path again.

A flower blooms a world, void peaks endlessly!

This was the Divine Power acquired when she fully refined the Jikong Flower during her Divine Transformation ascent.

As long as her Qi Power remained unbroken, she could control the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, forming new Small Worlds that would confine enemies and all attacks within, eroding them into nothing.

Bai Hu True Monarch was very strong, unexpectedly so strong that those Small Worlds could not confine him.

But as he crossed realms, he could only rely on his own Qi Power.
