Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

For Luo Chen, that day was not far away!

The Furnace Realm is already considered a significant realm in the cultivation of the Path of Martial Arts, and with a physical body comparable to the Great Wilderness, subsequent cultivation will only become faster. Once he achieves the Leakless Golden Body, Luo Chen can attempt to use the method he previously conceived to unlock the seal the Demon Phoenix placed on his Divine Perception.

Indeed, Luo Chen still maintains this Great Wilderness body.

This was his only solace after falling from the Great Destruction Realm.

Initially, it was somewhat fragile, but as it gradually recovered, it could already exert some power briefly.

Thus, in the Martial Arts Arena, he was able to defeat Iron Butcher with one move.

The move seemed to use the King’s Desquamation from ”Seven Scattered Hands of the Demon Monarch,” but it was actually the inherent power and speed of this physical body.

With pure strength and speed, he crushed Iron Butcher.

Next, he only needs to follow orthodox Body Refinement Methods to rapidly ascend to higher realms.

In silence, Luo Chen opened the long-sealed panel.

Like a water curtain, the panel unfolded slowly before Luo Chen. Looking at the numerous dim, gray entries, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit of nostalgia.

[Achievement Points: 170 points]

At first glance, Luo Chen still focused on lifespan.

Now, he is six hundred years old!

Carefully counting, he ascended at five hundred seventy years, and now about thirty years have passed.

During these thirty years, except for the recent year, there are almost no memories.

In other words, these were the thirty years he drifted unconsciously in the cosmos.

All of this was thanks to that Demon Phoenix!

Thinking of this, even with a clear Dao Heart like Luo Chen, his thoughts were obstructed, filled with hatred!

He hated not only the humiliation brought by the Demon Phoenix but also the loss of a full three thousand years of lifespan!

Yes, three thousand years!

Currently, the upper limit of Luo Chen’s lifespan is two thousand years.

But Luo Chen still remembers that at the time of his ascension, his lifespan limit had already exceeded that of any Divine Transformation Great Power, reaching an unprecedented five thousand years.

This was because at that time, not only did he have the God Transformation Realm, but his physical body also broke through to the Ancient Wilderness Fifth Order by consuming the Devil-Demon United Fruit, achieving the True Spirit Body, and additionally increasing his lifespan by two thousand five hundred years.

The combination reached a lifespan of five thousand years, comparable to the legendary Void Refining True Monarch.

However, due to Qi Xia Emperor, Luo Chen’s Primordial Spirit shattered, his Immortal Dao Realm fell to the bottom, and he lost two thousand five hundred years of lifespan. Even due to the wounds on his physical body, he permanently lost five hundred years of lifespan.

As of now, in terms of lifespan, he is barely comparable to those newly entering the God Transformation stage.

This grudge, once he can leave the Great Destruction Realm, he will repay ten times, a hundred times!

Otherwise, his mind will not be at peace!

Luo Chen exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, temporarily suppressing the bitterness in his heart.

His gaze shifted downwards, stopping momentarily at the Physique section.

”True Spirit Body... the endpoint of the Ancient Wilderness Body Refining Technique is indeed a True Spirit!”

This is not the first time Luo Chen expressed such a sentiment.

As early as when he consumed the first Devil-Demon United Fruit, using it to advance to the Ancient Wilderness Fifth Order, he had once lamented like this.

Because it was the first time the term [True Spirit Body] appeared in the Physique section.

According to the ”Mystic Realm Secret Record” given by Youli Divine Monarch, in the Mystic Realm, there are some powerful beings comparable to Mahayana Period cultivators.

They are neither human, nor demon, nor monster, yet they comprehend laws and the Great Dao, which can only be understood through human and demon cultivation!

Such beings are called True Spirits!

They are nurtured by nature, blessed by heaven and earth since birth.

However, the Mystic Realm is ancient, and such powerful beings are already few and far between, with little information known about them.

Only a few powerful Immortal Cultivators who love research, based on historical records, speculate that these True Spirits may very well be the ultimate growth of Ancient Desolate Beasts.

Back then, Luo Chen did not cultivate the Qi and Blood Path, merely pursued pure Body Refinement, inadvertently stepping onto the Archaic Body Refinement Path. By the time he cultivated to the fifth stage of the Archaic Path, he was no different from the Great Desolate creatures rumored in the Mountain Sea Realm.

However, on the attribute panel, the physique entry marked was not ”Savage Beast,” but ”True Spirit.”

This proves that the research in the Mystic Realm is not a sham; the true endpoint of Savage Beast evolution is indeed the True Spirit.

Unfortunately, Luo Chen’s True Spirit Body is now no longer complete, but damaged.

Luo Chen knows where the damage lies.

”The only True Spirit Origin Blood was voluntarily burned away by me.”

In silence, Luo Chen averted his gaze.

Next, his gaze shifted quicker than ever before while browsing the attribute panel.

All because every entry related to Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation on the panel had vanished into dull grey-white.

Whether it was the God Transformation Realm he had once achieved, the Qi Refinement Techniques he practiced, or Techniques, Soul Techniques, even Pill Refinement and Tool Casting, Talisman Puppets and so on.

Even the two Divine Powers Luo Chen created himself, ”Withering and Flourishing Dao Pointer” and ”Star Fire Burning Realm,” and the Divine Power ”Thousand Rivers Guide” he learned from the Heavenly Water Palace of the Dark Abyss Sect, are still unusable.

It can be said, anything that required Qi Power and Divine Consciousness to activate is sealed.

Only Healing Techniques and Arrays, which do not strongly rely on Qi Power and Divine Consciousness, still emit a faint light, but are considerably dim.

The only thing that surprised Luo Chen a bit was that in the Laws section, the four Great Laws of Wood, Fire, Water, and Earth that he comprehended still existed.

It seems these things have not vanished with his realm’s decline.

”Once proven, always proven?”

Mumbling, Luo Chen couldn’t figure it out.

He only knows now that on the panel, the entries still radiating gleaming light are all related to martial cultivation.

Martial Arts Realm — Early-stage Furnace Realm.

Cultivation Technique — ”Divine Astral Fighting Qi.”

And whether he once mastered or learned in the past year, all Body Techniques and Martial Skills.

Like the ”Seven Scattered Hands of the Demon Monarch” he collected, the completed ”Wind, Moon, Thunder, Cloud Steps to Immortality,” even the three Finger Techniques created by Wang Yuan.

Even the Martial Arts Divine Power ”Three Heads and Six Arms” learned from the Glazed Pure Land shows as usable.

Of course, Luo Chen is aware that in his current state, forcibly casting ”Three Heads and Six Arms” can only sustain half a stick of incense’s time at most, not enough for prolonged combat.

Otherwise, this physical body might suffer severe damage again.

After briefly reviewing the attribute panel, Luo Chen had a complete understanding of his current situation.

Anything related to Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation should be fully dismissed, at least in this Great Destruction Realm should not harbor illusions.

As for the Archaic Body Refinement, though it shows it’s possible to cultivate, Luo Chen certainly would not do so.

The Archaic Body Refinement Method never required any talent or perseverance, nor cultivation manuals, what it needed was an endless amount of resources!

Thinking about how much Demon Beast meat, Immortal Pills and Elixirs, Spirit Rice and Spirit Wine, even extreme Poison Gu Body Refinement he consumed in the Mountain Sea Realm, shows it’s a bottomless pit of a cultivation path.

In this Great Destruction Realm, at least for now, there aren’t so many external resources for Luo Chen to take.

Therefore, for Luo Chen to climb upwards, there’s only one path.

To follow the orthodox Body Refinement Method of the Qi and Blood Path.

Though this cultivation system still requires some external resources, it focuses more on internal excavation, developing the limits of the physical body!

The human body itself is a treasure trove of infinite potential!

Luo Chen spread his hand.

A wisp of white Qi Strength slowly rose.

Compared to the Blood River Realm’s Luminous and Shadow Alchemy Pills four kinds of Qi Strength, this wisp of white Qi Strength was countless times more formidable.

This is Gang Qi!

An energy that can be paralleled with the Qi Power of Golden Core Cultivators.

If that’s all, it wouldn’t be worth Luo Chen’s hope.

What truly matters to Luo Chen is the potential for evolution in this Gang Qi.

”In the book ’Divine Astral Fighting Qi’ authored by Wang Yuan, it’s documented how to evolve one’s Gang Qi to a very high level, cultivating Divine Astral Fighting Qi, which can oppose Magic Item True Devices.”

”Thirty-six strands of Divine Wind, thirty-six strands of Earth Evil!”

”What I never noticed before, now it seems to clearly possess the embryonic form of a Martial Arts Divine Power. It’s akin to me cultivating the ’Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture,’ nurturing a Chi Xiao Sword Qi in my chest, strikingly similar.”

”I wonder if there will be that much Divine Wind Earth Evil within this Great Destruction Realm?”

Luo Chen’s eyes flickered, and he rose calmly from the Cultivation Room.

Looks like.

A trip to the City Lord’s Mansion is needed.

He wondered if Xiao Feng still welcomed him?
