Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

”Kill!”

”Charge into the Eastern Wasteland and annihilate everyone who dared to invade our sect back then!”

”The name of Tianyuan Daoist Sect cannot fall in our generation, we must seek revenge!”

”I agree with Elder Shi Ju’s suggestion. Our Tianyuan Daoist Sect is in a precarious situation, we must make a show of force to intimidate the world.”

...

”Are you all mad? There’s that one overseeing the Eastern Wasteland. Going there is seeking death! That one dared to challenge a Divine Transformation Great Power with a Nascent Soul Realm — who can oppose him?”

”Fu Qinglan, why hide it? Just say Luo Chen. Since he dared to challenge our sect’s great power with a Nascent Soul Realm, why can’t we do the same? Is the gap between Nascent Souls greater than the gap between Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation? Or are you afraid, or still have lingering feelings for him?”

”Shi Ju, don’t provoke me. That day, even with a severely injured body, Luo Chen suppressed us; it’s known to all, even to those who faced him personally. If you had that ability, you wouldn’t have been soundly defeated under Jiuling Yuanjun and wouldn’t even have the chance to confront Luo Chen directly.”

”You!”

...

”Enough, stop arguing. Today’s gathering is to resolve the recent disputes among various clans, not to initiate an external war. Moreover, our sect’s vital energy is greatly diminished, split in two, with no strength to provoke an external war for at least a thousand years.”

”The Observatory Master speaks sense. With your presence on the Tian Nan Continent now, turmoil reigns; a solution needs to be discussed.”

”Hmm, I still insist on external warfare. This barren Tian Nan Continent isn’t sufficient for splitting among our families.”

”This matter can be discussed later, at least until a new generation of strong cultivators is nurtured. The Ten True Disciples from the甲子 Grand Competition, along with over thirty Nascent Soul True Masters, all perished in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, almost breaking the succession of our sect’s young generation. If we continue fighting without restraint, Tianyuan Daoist Sect will truly be destroyed at our hands.”

”This...”

...

Tian Nan Dao Palace, within Houtu Hall.

A graceful figure flew back in a fury, and none of the disciples dared approach and speak.

In recent years, Master Qing Lan’s temper has grown increasingly erratic — not necessarily irritable, but rather unpredictable.

Often, during conversation, the opposite party would bring up what they shouldn’t, and her mood would deteriorate quickly, making her less approachable.

Only Fu Qinglan knew in her heart why all this happened.

Luo Chen!

The woman’s eyes held extreme hatred, staring into the void, as if piercing across thousands of miles, glaring at that man.

Everything was because of Luo Chen!

Because of him, the sect’s only Divine Transformation Great Power perished.

Because of him, the Profound Realm True Monarch could not descend, and the last chance to unify the Mountain Sea vanished.

Also because of him, the East Yuan Continent was submerged by an apocalyptic tsunami, the surviving clan cultivators forced to scatter to Tian Nan and Li Bei Continents, leading to today’s intense conflicts.

Actually, intense conflicts are considered fortunate, as the secret struggles are even more terrifying.

The Tian Nan Continent was originally the most impoverished of the four continents split from the Central Continent, evidenced by the initial settlement of only the Zhan Family and Mo Family from the Twelve Great Houses.

The Zhan Family and Mo Family suffered the most during the great disaster in Zhongzhou, leaving them the weakest with the least remaining strength.

Naturally, after the war they could only reside in the poorest area for resources.

But in such a place, now the Shi Family and Ke Family have continuously entered.

To secure peace for their clan members and future development, the four Giant Houses along with various Nascent Soul families began an internal struggle over resources.

This struggle lasted for eighty years, and the number of fallen cultivators during it was no less than in any war initiated before.

Fortunately, in recent days, the intensity of the internal strife has gradually lessened.

Whether it’s because the division of resources has reached a certain level or the number of cultivators has consumed too much in the strife, the result is finally everyone sitting at one table to negotiate.

And all this originated from that man!

Actually, everyone knows the best method to resolve the current predicament is to launch an external war, to shift the internal conflicts of Tian Nan Continent.

But nowadays, the Tianyuan Daoist Sect is in no position to maintain a cross-continent war.

And the power of the perpetrator leaves people in despair.

Despair so deep that anyone with sense wouldn’t dare entertain any thoughts of rebellion.

Fu Qinglan’s anger slowly transformed into endless regret beneath the weight of this despair.

”If the Fu Family hadn’t brought him into the sect back then, would we find ourselves in today’s situation?”

”If the Sect Master hadn’t taken his Life Soul, would he have become hostile?”

”Even with all these preconditions, if I had reported his traces in Burial God Valley where he suppressed ghosts and gods to the sect, could the sect have prepared accordingly when East Desolate Cultivators invaded?”

A series of questions arose naturally.

Reflecting deeply, the guilt in the woman’s heart grew, her sharp nails had already punctured the palm, spilling bright red blood.

Suddenly.

”Who’s there?”

Fu Qinglan released her Divine Consciousness, sweeping the surroundings.

A gentle woman walked in, looking at her with concern.

”So it’s Miao Yin!”

Fu Qinglan murmured, her hard body softly collapsed onto the chair, curling up.

Shi Miaoyin watched this scene, her eyes full of pity.

”Master, the fall of the sect isn’t your fault, why torture yourself so?”

Fu Qinglan shook her head, ”You don’t understand, you don’t understand anything.”

Shi Miaoyin opened her mouth then switched the topic, ”What about little junior brother...”
