Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

These words carried significant weight.

Feng Zhang Old Monster, currently a rising Great Cultivator, and Taibai Master Xu Muxian, who was gaining fame in the North Sea, had established many connections through his skills as a Fourth Order Pill Refiner. If, as he said, his master was also a Nascent Soul expert, then the Lie Tian Sect Master would indeed need to weigh his options today.

The Lie Tian Sect Master blinked and curiously asked, ”May I know the name of your master?”

Before Xu Muxian could answer, the sky above Flying Swallow Islands suddenly changed.

The wind and clouds converged, lightning flickered.

The Heavenly Tribulation appeared!

Such a scene explained everything.

Yao Yue Fairy Cheng Haixin had already crossed all difficult steps before Nascent Soul Formation, only waiting to pass the Thunder Tribulation to achieve a true Nascent Soul True Master status!

Seeing this, the Lie Tian Sect Master was overjoyed and couldn’t wait for Xu Muxian’s answer.

A nascent Nascent Soul was incredibly tempting; once devoured along with the soul, it could offer a chance to advance significantly, completely crossing into the Late Stage Nascent Soul.

Moreover, it might even allow him to be ahead of others by forming the legendary Primordial Spirit!

”Begone!”

He shouted fiercely, transforming into a green light breaking through the sky.

Xu Muxian did not dodge and struck out with a sword.

Yet the gap in realm between the two was as vast as a chasm, and the contrast in power was even more evident.

The Lie Tian Sect Master just casually swung, dispersing the sword light, and grabbed towards Xu Muxian.

His famous technique, Heaven-splitting Divine Claw!

Facing this move, Xu Muxian’s expression was solemn; a bird nest-like Magic Item appeared beside him.

From within the nest, dark light flew, and fire phoenixes emerged, firmly blocking the Heaven-splitting Divine Claw outside.

”Phoenix Nest! Feng Zhang Old Monster is indeed generous, willing to lend you such a Defensive True Artifact.”

Though his ultimate move was ineffective, the Lie Tian Sect Master remained unfazed.

”This treasure can protect you, but it cannot stop me!”

He shrieked sharply, instantly overtaking Xu Muxian, rushing at incredible speed towards the center of Flying Swallow Islands.

Such a scene made Xu Muxian’s eyes burn with anger!

Was he really unable to do it?

Even after being prepared to lay down his life, he could not keep the other from advancing a step?

Was there truly no choice but to watch his master fail in breakthrough, and perish before his eyes?

In his vision, everything seemed to slow down.

The Lie Tian Sect Master tore through the sky, reaching out a claw remotely towards Ten Mile Flat Lake.

At that moment.

”Friend, please stay your hand!”

A grand voice infused with Buddha’s voice rang out, enveloping around the Lie Tian Sect Master.

Tentacles bizarrely extended from the void, firmly binding the Heaven-splitting Divine Claw, preventing it from advancing!

”Who is it?”

The Lie Tian Sect Master, taken aback and angry at the sight.

His famous technique had failed twice in a row.

Failing before Phoenix Nest was understandable, as it was Feng Zhang Old Monster’s Defensive True Artifact.

But this time, it was blocked with legitimate Technique.

He looked up to see an emaciated yet benevolent and kind-eyed bald monk slowly descending from the sky.

A skull beads necklace adorned his neck, and he formed a Buddha Seal in his hands.

Compassion and grandeur, malevolence revealed; these starkly opposing qualities merged in the elder, evoking a sense of eeriness.

With just a glance, the Lie Tian Sect Master recognized the newcomer.

”Demon Monk, Kong Chan!”

Kong Chan smiled lightly, ”Greetings from this humble monk.”

The Lie Tian Sect Master took a deep breath, ”Why are you stopping me? This place involves only a young human’s Nascent Soul Formation; why do you, a Great Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, bother yourself? Or have you taken an interest in the other party?”

Kong Chan quickly waved his hand, momentarily neglecting the Buddha Seal.

”Friend, what are you speaking of? The one forming the Nascent Soul here is the Dao Companion of my master.”

Master?

The Lie Tian Sect Master was taken aback!

The respectable Great Demon Emperor, Demon Monk Kongchan, known across the North Sea for centuries—when did he acquire a master? What kind of being could make him willingly submit?

An uncontrollable thought surfaced.

Divine Transformation Great Power!

Moreover, he mentioned that the one forming the Nascent Soul, Yao Yue Fairy, is the Dao Companion of his master?

Considering what Taibai Master Xu Muxian said previously...

The Lie Tian Sect Master asked with difficulty, ”May I know your master’s name?”

Kong Chan clasped his hands together, showing reverence, ”My friend’s understanding was correct, my master is named Luo Chen.”

No title or respectful name was added, yet the simple two words ”Luo Chen” caused a dramatic change in the expression of the Lie Tian Sect Master.

Whoosh!

Without thinking, the Lie Tian Sect Master transformed into a cyan light and sped towards the distance.

Kong Chan saw this and smiled helplessly.

”I said, ’Friend, please stay,’ and staying means you can’t advance or retreat. So just stay honestly!”

He pointed with his finger, and black mist arose all around, with tentacles appearing seemingly hidden within.

There were also the Morning Bell and Dusk Drum, two True Devices standing amidst them.

Under the beat of the tentacles, they emitted a mighty Buddha’s voice, shocking the mind.

As soon as he struck, he went all out, showing Kong Chan’s effort.

The heart and soul of the Lie Tian Sect Master trembled greatly, but he still spoke tough words.

”Old bald donkey, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

An earth-shattering battle unfolded above the Flying Swallow Islands.

Yet, inexplicably, the battle that should have affected the region was restrained by some mysterious force, and its impact was limited to a few miles around.

The strangeness of this situation naturally caused wonder.

Xu Muxian, as a Nascent Soul True Master, felt a deeper terror.

There is Divine Transformation intervention!

He swallowed hard, looking at the place where the Demon Monk Kongchan appeared, recalling the words the latter just spoke.

”Master’s Dao Companion!”

”Could it be Master has returned?”

”But he is called Luo Chen, not Luo Hai... is it an alias?”

While he hesitated, a voice came through Divine Perception.

”Come over!”

Xu Muxian, with a confused mind, avoided the battlefield of a demon and a demon monk and flew to a cliff by the sea guided by the Divine Perception.

This cliff was precisely the Sea-viewing Cliff!

A figure stood there with hands behind, the demeanor slightly different but the face remaining familiar. With one glance, Xu Muxian knelt with a thud.

”Disciple Xu Muxian, pays respect to Master!”

Luo Chen smiled faintly, raised a hand to help Xu Muxian up.

After looking him over, Luo Chen couldn’t help but show an expression of praise.

”Nascent Soul Realm, not bad, not bad!”

Indeed, not bad!

Throughout Luo Chen’s life, he didn’t have many disciples.

Truthfully speaking, he had only one actual disciple, Qu Lingjun.

However, due to Qu Lingjun’s Quadruple Spirit Roots, he is still stuck in the Core Formation Realm, with no knowing when he could reach Nascent Soul.

Yet the two registered disciples he casually pointed out, Hua Mei of Cangwu Mountain Demon Cultivators and Xu Muxian of North Sea, both achieved the Nascent Soul Realm in succession.

This certainly leads to contemplation over their different fortunes.

Xu Muxian’s eyes were burning, receiving praise from Luo Chen made him extremely excited.

He spoke stammeringly, immature like a child instead of a Nascent Soul True Master, showing a sense of shame, ”Master overpraises me. There are still many shortcomings in me. If Master didn’t appear today, disciple would have no strength to assist Master’s spouse in transcending tribulation.”

Luo Chen chuckled: ”This is not your fault. Lie Tian himself is formidable. Back in the day when he was at the Third Level, even the top three Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Canghai Righteous Alliance couldn’t capture him, let alone now he’s at the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul. At your current realm, being able to withstand one move is already commendable.”

Xu Muxian responded with a hum. As a rogue cultivator adventuring alone, having self-awareness is the most crucial trait.

Otherwise, one’s death could come unknowingly.

He eagerly looked at Luo Chen, ”Master, your real name is Luo Chen, could you be the legendary East Desolate Pill Sect who goes against Great Power?”

”As you guessed.” Luo Chen nodded, then asked in confusion: ”Is North Sea chaotic, so the news can’t pass? But Haixin didn’t tell you my true identity?”

”Master’s spouse didn’t tell me.” Xu Muxian answered honestly.

Luo Chen murmured an acknowledgment, comprehending Cheng Haixin’s intention.

Even back then, Luo Chen had already told Cheng Haixin about his general circumstances.

Her withholding from Xu Muxian was possibly to avoid unnecessary trouble!

At this moment Xu Muxian was still awestruck by the truth that his master was Luo Chen, especially the subtle way Luo Chen restricted the overflow of battle impact between two strong figures, further shocking him.

This indicated Luo Chen’s realm had entirely surpassed theirs.

His master was no longer the Golden Core cultivator from the past but a Divine Transformation Great Power now!

Just as he was in shock.

Luo Chen softly said: ”It has begun!”

The final step has begun!

Above the Flying Swallow Islands, clouds gathered while lightning flickered.

The power of Heavenly Tribulation had reached its peak.

And a tall figure appeared unknowingly in the void, ready to face the celestial might!
