Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Eastern Wasteland, Million Mountains!

Countless demons bred and thrived within it, and over thousands of years, a tripartite structure gradually formed.

The Tiger, Wolf, and Yu Races, arrogantly overlooking the Mountain Group.

As Di Tian advanced to the Ancient Demon Realm, Qi Xia revealed extraordinary divine powers, and the Wolf Race, once equal, gradually declined, even submitting under the banner of Ancient Demon Emperor Di Tian for a time.

Yet there is no eternal power in the world.

Di Tian fell, Qi Xia ascended, and the once powerful Tiger Demon and Yu Race fell into decline.

Even though Cangwu Mountain still had the Crossing Truth Palace Master, hailed as the number one below Divine Transformation, sitting in command, he was a Great Cultivator of the Human Clan, naturally opposed to the Demon Clan.

Thus, amidst the leaderless chaos, the Eastern Wasteland’s great Demon Clan strongmen began to gravitate towards the Wolf Race.

On this day.

Atop Sky Wolf Mountain!

Demon Qi roiled, the wolves howled sharply.

Beams of Glint flew from various locations, descending onto the Sky Wolf Altar.

Han Shanque came late; he had never been on good terms with the Wolf Race, but this time the situation was indeed special.

Before entering the Sky Wolf Altar, intense quarrels could be heard from within.

”But that’s the Crossing Truth Palace Master, a peer with the Day Sky Palace Master, and recognized by the Yuan Jun!”

”So what? Luo Chen is still a Human Clan; do you want him to overshadow us forever?”

”Yes, he is of the Human Clan, but he is a pinnacle figure who personally slew a Great Power of the Daoist Sect!”

”Heh, you must all have been on the East Yuan Continent during that battle; have you seen him slay a god with your own eyes?”

”This...”

”Don’t forget, Qing Shuang, the Day Sky Palace Master, also took action during that battle. No matter how strong Luo Chen is, he’s still a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. How could he have slain a Divine Transformation Great Power? I admit, he may have contributed, but it’s more likely he was assisting, and the true god-slayer was Qing Shuang. Old Bai Mei, you need not rush to refute me; think calmly. Just for our Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, slaying is extremely difficult, let alone the life-preserving means of a Divine Transformation Great Power. Only Palace Lord Qing Shuang, mastering the True Meaning of Space Law, can completely eliminate an equal Order existence. Luo Chen, he couldn’t do it!”

Han Shanque stepped into the grand hall, seeing Bai Mei Immortal Ape arguing with a fierce-looking middle-aged man.

The Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators nearby kept silent, not participating, but each had a thoughtful expression on their face.

Han Shanque recognized that middle-aged man.

Ao Jun!

The second strongest of the Wolf Race, only beneath Heavenly Wolf Ao Kuang, having recently been promoted to Late Stage Nascent Soul, a rare Great Demon Emperor.

Han Shanque spoke sullenly, ”We’re all fellow cultivators; why argue so fiercely?”

Ao Jun snorted, ”I can’t stand someone praising others while belittling themselves.”

Bai Mei Immortal Ape sighed, ”I am not cowardly; indeed, the Crossing Truth Palace Master has unmatched ability. Whether or not he personally slew a Divine Transformation Great Power, his past accomplishments are undeniable. Number one below Divine Transformation, this title is by no means unfounded.”

Ao Jun was dismissive, ”That title was only earned by sparring with Qing Shuang once and by bullying the West Desert Monk. If we were to calculate in such a way, then my clan’s ancestor could also be called the number one, except our ancestor doesn’t care for such vain titles.”

Everyone looked at each other, unable to argue.

This was because, indeed, Heavenly Wolf Ao Kuang had once sparred with Qing Shuang, and even though Qing Shuang understood the True Meaning of Space Law, he was at a disadvantage.

Some speculated that if it weren’t for Qi Xia Emperor, Ao Kuang might have fought to the death then.

Bai Mei Immortal Ape pursed his lips, looking at Han Shanque.

”Friend, in the past at the Crossing Truth Hall, you and I were there. Speak of Luo Chen’s ability.”

Han Shanque instinctively wanted to deny Luo Chen’s strength, but as he was about to speak, images of the past involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

With the strength of one, suppress a horde of demons!

Such ability...

”Enough!” Ao Jun barked, glaring at Bai Mei Immortal Ape, ”Old Bai Mei, if you don’t want to participate in this grand affair, you can leave. Why sow discord here?”

Bai Mei Immortal Ape, being shouted at like this, was displeased internally.

He was invited for a grand scheme, yet was rebutted at every turn in a few conversations; even a clay figure has some temper.

But he ultimately didn’t respond angrily.

For three figures entered the Sky Wolf Altar from the back hall.

One was shrouded in black robes, a graceful figure barely visible.

Another had a fierce complexion, as if ready to devour, the lone-moving Great Demon Emperor Bi Zheng.

In front of them was the master of this place.

The co-leader of the Wolf Race—Ao Kuang!

”Ancestor!”

”Lord Ao Kuang!”

”Friend Ao, you’ve come.”

Greetings rang out one after another; reverence was evident on the faces of all, testament to Ao Kuang’s esteemed status among the Demon Clan.

The elder’s face, naturally commanding respect, softened with a kind smile.

He waved his hand, ”No need for such formality.”

Then, Ao Kuang looked towards Ao Jun.

”Friend Bai Mei is merely worried that we may act recklessly, hitting a stone with an egg; why take it so hard?”

Ao Jun frowned, ”But...”

Ao Kuang smiled, sitting commandingly atop.

The black-robed figure and Bi Zheng stood at his sides.

”In fact, Friend Bai Mei isn’t wrong. Luo Chen’s ability has long resonated across the Mountain Sea. Moreover, his reputation isn’t just among Human Cultivators’ mutual boasting, but built through solid achievements. Leaving others aside, everyone must have heard of the title Demon Slayer True Master!”

The faces of the demons shifted slightly.

They were all Demon Cultivators; the name Demon Slayer, to them, was the most sarcastic title.
