Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

At least in Luo Chen’s perception, relying on the guidance of the Spirit Mechanism, even stronger Law’s True Intent waits behind.

But this time, with a bit of contemplation, Luo Chen took the initiative to release his Divine Perception.

The most basic does not mean the worst.

Especially for him!

”I have comprehended Wood’s Withering and Flourishing, the original sources of Water and Fire. If I can further understand the Laws’ True Intents of Metal and Earth, perhaps I can awaken the long-dormant Wuling Dao Body once more!”

”Let it be so!”

Like a monkey entering a cornfield, too many temptations can easily make one grab one and toss it away.

The Nirvana True Intent ahead, and the looming existences behind, are all fine corns.

But ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand.

At this moment, this Earth Origin is the corn most suited for Luo Chen!

It is neither too big nor too small, will not overextend Luo Chen, nor starve him; enough to sate him, enough to lay down the most solid foundation for his body, leading to a more glorious future.

Similarly by intuition, this time, Luo Chen chose to embrace it.

Upon his Divine Perception touching the great mountain, countless obscure and ambiguous fragments of information surged forth.

Inbound darkness, seeds silently sprout under hardened soil. Stones buried for millions of years quietly crystallize, molten magma in absolute silence readies to erupt, nurturing power that births all beings in creation.

Mountains collapse across shoulders, Earth Fire scorches their bones, flash floods rend their bodies, roots of grass and wood delve into their marrow... The earth, silent, bears all, turned into a deeper weight through pain and endurance.

A tugging action, intangible and dimensionless, pulls everything under the sun, dust gathers to a mound, mounds layer into ridges, ridges extend into ranges... As the vast universe progresses, even the stars circle in mutual attraction: this is Earth’s gravity.

...

Too chaotic an information flow wildly battered Luo Chen’s Divine Perception.

Each strand seemed to hold great creation, each strand possessed great might, each strand, if grasped, seemed to offer mastery over half the heavens and earth.

Compared to it, Luo Chen’s Divine Perception was insignificant, yet he firmly kept his mind, perceiving the purest power within.

It was a power indestructible by all tribulations, a force of virtuous endowment bearing all things.

It was a force returning to chaos, upholding innate truth.

That was—Earth Origin!

The great mountain remained towering, yet Luo Chen’s Divine Perception vanished.

Like retreating against fierce currents, on the lingering Spirit Mechanism tug, his Primordial Spirit swiftly withdrew, returning to Cangwu Mountain.

A moment’s delay, and he could get lost in the deepest Primordial Energy Ocean.

Fortunate was the Spirit Mechanism drawn during Divinity Transformation, and fortunate was the prepared Law Extension Pill.

At the instant Luo Chen returned.

The vast Primordial Spirit abruptly disappeared, all that remained was a normal physical body seated in the void.

Compared to before, at this moment, this body seemed as insignificant as dust.

Yet, sitting there, it resembled a great mountain.

Antique, timeless, rugged, substantial!

Towering amidst, it radiated an invincible, infinitely substantial aura of Law!

Luo Chen opened his eyes.

Beside him, the Nirvana Fire Spirit spread its wings, dancing joyously.

Beneath his feet, the demons bowed and shivered.

Far off on the mountain wall, a gaze brimmed with infinite unwillingness and immense fear.

Luo Chen calmly surveyed all this, unmoved, and merely opened his mouth slightly.

The next moment.

The previously outward-spreading Spiritual Energy Tide crashed inwards, with his body as the center, pouring into him entirely.

Luo Chen was long accustomed to this spectacle; it was nothing but the world’s gift after a grand realm breakthrough.

His figure gradually descended, ultimately standing before the Transmitting Truth Hall.

Gazing at the heavens and earth before him, it seemed a sigh was pent up in his chest, yet somehow fulfilling; Luo Chen no longer suppressed himself, and let out a prolonged howl with open mouth.

The majestic howl, like a dragon’s cry, resounded across Cangwu Mountain, reaching the ears of every living being there.

In that instant, these beings knew, in this world, a god was born!

Indeed:

The dragon’s cry from within the chest aims to pierce the heavens, a single Primordial Cauldron boils the grand pill.

Sleeves swept across the North Sea holding a thousand moon reflections, footsteps tread upon the smokey valleys of Cangwu.

Daluo Cloud breaks stars into a ladder, Nine Tribulations Ash vapors into immortality.

Picks up a single speck from the mortal realm, and the eternal chaos beyond the sleeve is vast!

...

”Hall Master, all rebellious demon cultivators have submitted, kneeling at the foot of the mountain, awaiting your judgement. How would you like to handle it, please advise.”

In the Transmitting Truth Hall, He Qingzi respectfully reported the situation.

She dared not raise her head, for the one seated above now exuded an aura like the sun overwhelming the heavens, feeling even more terrifying than when Qing Shuang achieved Divine Transformation.

Merely sitting there like a great mountain, majestic and venerable, yet also resembling a proud sun, blindingly untouchable.

A light voice came from above.

”Extract their souls and imprint them, forever as slaves to Transmitting Truth.”

”Yes!”

He Qingzi was filled with delight, and the previous bitterness of being suppressed vanished entirely in this moment.

Traitors should face the fate of traitors!

Urgent landing sounds came from outside the hall.

Tian Xuan walked in and respectfully saluted the figure above.

”Master, the Moon Independent Cultivator is dead, her bones completely gone, reduced to ashes by the Nirvana Sacred Fire.”

”She got off easy.”

Despite saying so, there was little regret in Luo Chen’s words.

To him now, anyone below Divine Transformation was nothing more than an ant.

In fact, even before reaching Divine Transformation, he had already ignored those of the same order.

”What about Ao Kuang?”

Luo Chen only cared about this one person.

To break through to the God Transformation Realm, the preparations Luo Chen had made were not many, but each one was terrifyingly exceptional.

Whether it was the Nirvana Sacred Fire, the Yuan Tu Sword, or the final Bone Burial Umbrella, all were enough to face any challenge.

Even the Great Five Elements Sword Formation had been refined anew by him, definitely not something an ordinary Nascent Soul could break through.

Yet Ao Kuang, through force, broke through and even manifested a Primordial Spirit, attempting to challenge him.

He truly deserved to be an ancient existence within the Million Mountains.

Tian Xuan respectfully said, ”His physical body is watched over by the Black King, while his Primordial Spirit is pinned to the cliff of Cangwu Mountain by the master’s treasured sword, wailing ceaselessly, a fate worse than death. Additionally, here is his Exotic Treasure for the master to inspect.”

A claw of golden brilliance floated down in front of Luo Chen.

Heavenly Wolf Claw!

A precious item once refined by a transcendent being of the Wolf Race using their own claw.

Luo Chen took one glance and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

This Magic Item, its prohibitive array patterns were few, astonishingly relying purely on its material for dominance.

Even with just this, it had the power of a Spiritual Treasure.

What it lacked was merely spirituality.

With careful refinement, its potential might reach the tier of a Spiritual Treasure.

Luo Chen put away the claw, stood tall, and walked towards the hall entrance.

”No matter, I wish to see what kind of person dares to face me head-on.”

Behind him, He Qingzi and Tian Xuan followed closely.

Their expressions were different, with Tian Xuan’s face full of excitement and joy, while He Qingzi carried a bit of caution and worry.

He Qingzi’s caution and worry weren’t aimed at Luo Chen; she didn’t dare to. Her concern was for Tian Xuan!

This woman was also a Yu Race demon cultivator and had been following Luo Chen for a long time.

Being brought to Cangwu Mountain this time, could it be that Luo Chen intended for this woman to take charge of Cangwu Mountain?

She had worked diligently for years; hopefully, it wouldn’t all end up for nothing.

Luo Chen paid no heed to these petty thoughts; his figure stopped between the cliffs.

He stood in the air, without using any external force, relying only on the support of heaven and earth.

Opposite him, Ao Kuang’s Primordial Spirit was locked by the Blood Sword.

Suddenly!

”Luo Chen, grant this old man a merciful death!”

Luo Chen was speechless.

Even at this stage, not even a word of respect?

With a laugh, Luo Chen beckoned with his hand.

The Yuan Tu Sword abruptly returned.

Ao Kuang’s form slackened, instinctively wanting to escape, but he felt this world as heavy as a mountain, as sluggish as a quagmire.

Even his most instinctive technique of Primordial Spirit teleportation was unusable.

Controlling Yuan Qi, sealing heaven and earth!

This was the most standard technique of Divine Transformation!

The Heavenly Wolf Primordial Spirit showed a human-like bitter smile, ”You indeed won’t let me go.”

”You should have understood before you took action that everything has its price.” Luo Chen with hands behind his back said serenely, ”I won’t make it difficult for you; enter the Heavenly Wolf Claw for a thousand years as a spirit. Afterward, I promise you release into reincarnation.”

Ao Kuang was silent for a moment, finally bowing his head.

”Thank you, senior, for your great mercy!”

In an instant, Luo Chen was filled with satisfaction.

The once paramount ruler of the Wolf Race now had to be grateful even to be enslaved.

Yet, after a single thought, Luo Chen felt disheartened again.

The people here were no longer worthy of his attention.

Standing between heaven and earth, a feeling of vast solitude engulfed him.

He raised his head to the void, his expression somewhat despondent.

Beside him, Tian Xuan and He Qingzi were full of confusion; achieving the status of great power, why did their master reveal such an expression?

Little did they know, to Luo Chen, this world now felt somewhat confining, like shackles.

”No wonder Qixia Youli spared no expense to forcibly ascend; for those like us, this world is far too small.”
