Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Therefore, even though Luo Chen carried out this reverse-heaven feat, no space cracks capable of tearing everything apart appeared.

”Then next, we only need to guard against the counterattack of the Nether Abyss.”

Deng Taiyue turned and looked beyond Yan Fu.

Those towering giant waves, piled up like mountains of a thousand fathoms, were still suspended above the continent.

...

At the same time.

In Upper Nether City, all the High-Order Cultivators of Luo Tian Sect flew out together, gazing toward the endless Nether Abyss.

With Kong Chan at their head, the four great Spirit Venerables cooperated with Luo Tian Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, guarding the shores of Mingyuan with impenetrable strictness.

Yet those giant waves that loomed like towering city walls, carrying boundless Ming Shui within them, still gave people a heart-palpitating sense of dread.

If those waves came crashing down, how many of the Earth-Receiving Cultivators of Luo Tian Sect could remain alive?

And as for Luo Chen, the Supreme Elder standing at the very center, what immense pressure would he have to bear next?

The world did not know.

They could only see wave after wave, after being forced apart by a single person’s peerless might, roaring in fury as they smashed toward the central region.

The next moment, something wholly unexpected occurred.

Those previously savage and ferocious giant waves suddenly became docile after they fell.

Wave after wave poured gently into a vast vortex, without stirring up any truly earth-shattering commotion.

This process continued for a long time.

When all the giant waves had dispersed, the entire Nether Abyss seemed to have sunk by a hundred zhang.

That Infinite Nether Water vanished without anyone knowing where it had gone.

In its place, a towering continent appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Suddenly!

A rumbling roar shook the cosmos.

Under the wide-eyed gaze of all, they saw a giant of a thousand zhang stand between heaven and earth, roaring at sun and moon.

His three heads and six arms each bore a different aura.

Mists swirled about him, black armor sheathing his body.

The exposed skin was a bronze hue, crisscrossed with patterns like branching limbs, yet also resembling the scales of some demonic beast.

They saw that giant clasp the void in an embrace, give a single heave, and then a great mountain was uprooted by his hands.

Supporting the great mountain with his palms, the giant soared toward the heavens.

The surrounding mists surged upward with him, swirling beneath the mountain to form a thick sea of cloud.

When all was done, the lofty mountain hung upon the sea of clouds, while the continent suppressed Mingyuan beneath it.

This heaven and earth were renewed, wholly transformed!

Everyone looked at one another, then unhesitatingly turned their bodies into Glints, like fleeting Fu You, flying toward that immortal mountain amid the clouds.

...

On Yanfu Mountain.

Deng Taiyue watched Luo Chen drift lightly down, his expression infinitely complicated, in the end turning into heartfelt admiration.

He clasped his fists and bowed, words of congratulation spilling from his mouth.

”Congratulations, Senior, on re-creating the Divine Wilderness and establishing the eternal foundation of Luo Tian!”

Luo Chen laughed freely and strode toward Tianming Palace.

”It was merely something within expectations. As for the so-called foundation of ten thousand generations, that still depends on how those who come after will develop it. What I can do is only this much.”

Though he spoke lightly, his steps gave off an incomparably heavy feeling.

Deng Taiyue watched Luo Chen’s back. Clearly, the man had just uprooted an Immortal Mountain; yet for some reason, he felt as if there were another great mountain pressing upon Luo Chen’s shoulders.

Deng Taiyue fell into thought.

Was this the consequence of Luo Chen exerting the full extent of his power earlier, manipulating the boundless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi?

That method, approaching the might of heaven and earth itself, was already an open struggle with this realm’s Heavenly Dao for authority.

In his current state, Luo Chen’s every move was watched by this heaven and earth; thick shackles had already fallen over his body.

...

In the main hall of Tianming Palace, Luo Chen sat on the upper seat, eyes closed in repose.

He was sensing.

Sensing everything within and without his body.

After a long while, he finally let out a soft sigh.

”So this is the Heaven’s shackles that Li Canghai spoke of?”

”They are actually this heavy!”

”If I act wantonly again in the future, what I expend will no longer be merely Qi Power, but my Lifespan. Moreover, in ordinary cultivation, the difficulty of drawing in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi will greatly increase, to say nothing of comprehending the Law’s True Intent.”

”It seems it truly is time to leave.”

With a sigh, Luo Chen opened his eyes.

At that moment, streams of Glint flew in from outside.

In just a short moment, the great hall was packed to the brim.

Every Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator of Luo Tian Sect present was looking at Luo Chen with eyes full of excitement and worship.

Before they could speak, Luo Chen lifted his hand to press lightly at the empty air, his gaze falling on the middle‑aged man at the forefront.

”Lingxi!”

Luo Lingxi stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, ”Father, I am here!”

Luo Chen spoke with a slightly weary expression, ”Help me with one matter, perhaps it will also be the last matter I ever entrust.”

Luo Lingxi was stunned, and the others also froze.

”Ten years from now, I will ascend. You are to arrange a grand Ascension Ceremony for me, and invite all the top experts of every Sect in the Eastern Wasteland to come here and witness it.”

Hearing this suddenly, Luo Lingxi’s face went blank with confusion.

By full reckoning, his father Luo Chen was just over five hundred years old. Even within the Nascent Soul Realm, that counted as young, to say nothing of those Divine Transformation Great Powers whose normal Lifespan reached two thousand years.

According to recorded rumors, most of the Divine Transformation Great Powers in the Mountain Sea Realm only chose to ascend calmly after a thousand years of age.

As for someone like the Demoness Qing Shuang, who ascended at the mere age of six hundred, there were practically almost none; such a thing could only be called an aberration.

Now his own father, the Luotian Ancestor, was actually going to set a new historical record by ascending at five hundred years?

He hesitated and said, ”Father, isn’t this a bit too rushed?”

Luo Chen rubbed his brow. ”Just do as I’ve said. As for how to later let this old Mingyuan site regain vitality, that will be the business of the Sect Disciples. You can handle it as you see fit.”

With that, he rose calmly and left Tianming Palace.

In the hall, the Nascent Soul True Masters of Luo Tian Sect, who had all been stirred into great excitement by Luo Chen’s earlier feat, could no longer care about their excitement. They all fell into shock at the news that Luo Chen was about to ascend.

Only Caiyi knew some of the inside story.

She bit her lip and chased in the direction Luo Chen had left.

Yet after taking only two steps, she stopped again and turned her head to look at another woman.

”Cang Long, you come as well!”

...

Luo Chen!

The Divine Transformation Ancestor, Supreme Luo Tian, the undisputed number one person in the Eastern Wasteland!

Was about to ascend!

This news spread like a wildfire, instantly setting the entire Eastern Wasteland Immortal World boiling.

Whether it was ancient Sects, established powers, or newly risen mighty forces, all were shocked by this news.

Just how old was that person, after all!

Luo Chen’s legendary experiences did not even require anyone to dig them up; they had long since been engraved into the heart of every Immortal Cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland.

Naturally, his age was also a topic of endless discussion.

At around sixteen he followed Xu Dao, at thirty he reached Foundation Establishment, at a hundred he formed his Core, and at two hundred he achieved Nascent Soul.

In less than five hundred years, he attained the dignity of Divine Transformation.

Now, before he had even enjoyed much of the glory, wealth, and extreme honor of standing at the pinnacle of a realm, he was about to hastily ascend.

Though this created history, it still left people puzzled.

After this news spread, countless Low Order Cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal World ran about excitedly spreading the word, all wanting to obtain a pass to Luo Tian Sect to watch Luo Chen’s ascension.

That senior, though ruthless in slaughter, had always acted rather gently toward Low Order Cultivators, long displaying the style of a modest gentleman of high virtue and great prestige.

If they could witness the ceremony with their own eyes, it would surely become an experience they could boast of for their entire cultivation life.

Among the High Order Cultivator group, however, the reaction was quite different.

”Why does Luo Chen insist that I must go witness his ascension?”

This question lingered in the hearts of all the top experts of the Eastern Wasteland.

The Eastern Wasteland today had the power structure of one superpower above many strong forces.

At this level of strength, it completely surpassed the other four continents of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Because aside from the super‑force Luo Tian Sect, the other great and powerful Sects also had many who had comprehended the Law’s True Intent!

The fundamental reason for this situation lay in that batch of Ti Hu Pill Luo Chen had given away back then.

Although the effect of the Ti Hu Pill was inferior to the Tianji Pill refined by the Alchemy Saint, and even less than the Law Extension Pill, given the huge base number, it still allowed a portion of particularly talented and gifted Nascent Soul True Masters to successfully comprehend their own unique Law’s True Intent!

After comprehending the Law’s True Intent, they not only possessed battle strength far surpassing those of the same Order, but also held the qualifications to charge toward the Divinity Transformation Realm in the future!

In other words, this entire group were God Transformation Seeds!

One could imagine that once Luo Chen ascended and no one remained to suppress the Eastern Wasteland Immortal World, in the future this group, in order to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage, would inevitably launch a frenzied struggle over the Fifth Order Spirit Veins.

If someone truly broke through to that Realm, then the power structure of the Eastern Wasteland would once again change.

And if Luo Tian Sect did not produce a second Divine Transformation Great Power, could it still maintain its transcendent status?

Given such a foreseeable future, it would be one thing if Luo Chen did not ascend, yet he偏偏 was about to ascend and leave this realm.

What was more, before leaving this realm, he deliberately invited all the strong to witness it.

What was his purpose? It was hard not to ponder deeply.

Was it a final warning before departure, a form of suppression, or perhaps an extremely vicious move to eradicate all future troubles?

For a time, Low Order Cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland flocked eagerly to Luo Tian Sect, while the High Order Cultivators instead halted in their tracks, hesitating endlessly.
