Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

The thing that truly shook his heart and mind was that, during the process of refining chaotic energy, the converted energy became his own, while some other faintly familiar yet unfamiliar existence was absorbed by the Primordial Chaos Tripod itself.

After absorbing those things, the Primordial Chaos Tripod began another transformation, akin to the metamorphosis of life’s essence.

What exactly was absorbed?

Through the strange yet familiar sensation, Luo Chen pondered painfully.

Suddenly!

”Laws!”

Boom!

His mind trembled, as if struck by a great bell, forcing Luo Chen out of his extremely calm observational state.

His Divine Perception quietly withdrew back into the Sea of Consciousness.

Opening his eyes, Luo Chen’s expression was extremely complex.

There was both shock and bewilderment, as well as fear of the unknown.

He was sure he hadn’t seen it wrong!

Although the amount was extremely scarce, almost negligible, the Primordial Chaos Tripod was indeed absorbing something akin to ”laws” from the chaotic energy.

That stuff, he himself had once comprehended, and he had seen its concrete existence when advancing to the Divine Transformation Realm from the Primordial Energy Ocean.

Thus, earlier, Luo Chen felt both familiarity and strangeness.

The familiar part was that among the minuscule ”laws,” some were the Five Elements Principle he understood.

The unfamiliar part was the other laws he had not personally comprehended.

Luo Chen recalled what City Lord Mo Feng had mentioned before.

The reason Immortal Cultivators cannot cultivate in the Annihilation Nine Rings is not only due to the physical body but also due to conflicts on the level of the Divine Soul.

Because chaotic energy possibly contains ”Law Fragments,” which are extremely dangerous for high-level cultivators who have comprehended the true intent of laws.

Once one unknowingly absorbs unmastered law fragments, the Divine Soul would be annihilated on the spot.

At first, Luo Chen was half skeptical.

Now, with evidence, Luo Chen believes that the hearsay from City Lord Mo Feng was actually true.

Because he had indeed witnessed the tangible law fragments!

Moreover, his Natal Magic Item, under the blessing of the Grey Light, absorbed them!

”Light of Order,” Luo Chen tentatively named that mysterious grey light.

He did not know where the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch obtained this item, but the Light of Order had now merged solely with his Natal Magic Item, assisting greatly in his cultivation, even pushing the Primordial Chaos Tripod to absorb law fragments for further transformation.

Because of this light, Luo Chen saw hope for the first time to leave the Returning Ruins.

With complex eyes gazing into the dark and deep void, Luo Chen’s emotions surged, muttering to himself.

”One day, I will uncover the secret of the Light of Order.”

In the short term, Luo Chen would not mobilize Divine Perception again, as it was too dangerous.

Furthermore, in his view, being able to observe the surface was already fortunate, relying on the Primordial Chaos Tripod as his Natal Magic Item and their life and spirit dual cultivation. Seeing more was beyond his current realm.

But in any case, benefiting oneself was enough!

After spending a long time, Luo Chen slowly calmed his emotions.

Then he turned his thoughts back to the beginning.

Activating the Qi Blood Furnace, he converted the pure energies one by one into powerful qi blood, then transformed them into Blood Refining Divine Gang.

This gang qi was transported into the acupoints by him, enveloping those fragile soul splittings.

According to the mental method of ”God Demon Formless,” using the Power of Divine Soul to influence the gang qi, making it gradually gain spirituality.

In this way, the gang qi and soul splitting in the acupoints formed a mutually beneficial mode.

One envelops and protects, the other influences and spiritualizes.

Luo Chen’s realm also steadily and rapidly advanced in this process.

Days later.

Luo Chen was struck by a sudden idea.

For ordinary martial artists, the cultivation method in the Annihilation Nine Rings almost entirely relies on the Qi Blood Furnace, needing to absorb some chaotic energy and then close the acupoints to avoid being overwhelmed. Only when completely refined, do they open them again.

Thus, forming a cyclical cycle.

But he was different now.

He was a special existence.

There was no need to use the Qi Blood Furnace to refine chaotic energy at all.

Because this task was already taken over by the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

If so, why not be a bit more daring?

With this thought, Luo Chen was eager to try.

”Let’s give it a try!”

He attempted to open all his acupoints, allowing chaotic energy to enter his body while simultaneously urging both the Primordial Chaos Tripod and Qi Blood Furnace to operate.

The former refines chaotic energy, the latter converts qi blood.

After a stick of incense’s time.

Luo Chen let out a muffled groan and immediately closed all his acupoints.

Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, a sign of internal injury.

After all, too much chaotic energy surged in.

Luo Chen took out a large amount of Elixir for repairing viscera and swallowed it in one go.

As he refined the medicinal power and healed his organs, Luo Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

Although it was risky just now and had backfired a bit, he had verified that this path was feasible.

”I just have to control the amount of chaotic energy influx bit by bit.”

”This is not difficult.”

”Simply controlling the number of acupoint switches can achieve the desired effect.”

The human body is like a large water tank, while the chaotic energy of the outer world resembles rivers, lakes, and seas.

Introducing the waters of rivers, lakes, and seas all at once will naturally cause the large tank to burst, unable to contain it.

However, since the large tank itself is sealed, opening fewer water inlets can relatively slow down the amount of water entering.

Then the Primordial Chaos Tripod can quickly refine the introduced chaotic energy.

This process requires consideration of balance.

But once balance is achieved, Luo Chen can save the time of cyclic repetition and always remain in a cultivation state.

”Step by step!”

Luo Chen first opened an acupoint, guiding the chaotic energy into the body while rapidly refining it.

In this way, several days passed without any issues arising.

Reassured, Luo Chen began to increase the stakes, opening the second, third, and even more acupoints.

And his Martial Arts Realm began to madly surge at an unbelievable speed.

...

A year later.

Amidst the rumbling of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, it officially closed.

Those martial artists who wanted to come in for cultivation would need to wait another hundred years.

Yu Huai had good luck.

On the last day, he skillfully mastered the process of refining chaotic energy, intending to formally enter the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.

His subsequent plan was also simple.

To proceed step by step!

First, he would explore the limit of chaotic energy he could absorb at once, then refine it in small amounts multiple times.

Careful and steady, avoiding all risks.

After a hundred years, his strength would surely increase significantly!

However, the urgent task was to first find a cultivation stone as a foothold.

”Although I’ve heard there are many cultivation stones inside the tower, I entered too late, the good spots are probably already taken.”

”Those people came in earlier than me, naturally stronger than me, so it’s impossible to snatch at this point.”

”Finding a place just enough to hold my ground would be considered lucky.”

Yu Huai flew in the dark void, constantly observing his surroundings, trying to find a cultivation stone that caught his eye.

He hadn’t flown long.

Suddenly!

Yu Huai’s figure paused, his gaze falling not far ahead.

On a meteorite that measured two feet in length and width, a white-clothed Daoist sat cross-legged.

He recognized the person.

It was Luo Chen!

A supreme genius hailed as having the presence of an Immortal, the first among this batch of new Leakless Realm martial artists to enter the Annihilation Nine Rings.

”This person should not be provoked.”

Yu Huai planned to go around.

Unexpectedly, the white-clothed Daoist opened his eyes and looked at him.

Yu Huai hurriedly gestured, ”Brother Luo, don’t misunderstand, I’m just passing by.”

During cultivation, disturbances from others are the most taboo.

In this unmonitored environment, martial artists either stay alone or gather in groups to cultivate, all to ensure they aren’t disturbed or ambushed.

However, Luo Chen casually stood up.

”You’re new here, right? Do you have a cultivation stone to settle?”

Yu Huai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, ”Then this place is yours.”

After speaking, Luo Chen waved his sleeve and vanished into the deep void.

Yu Huai stood there, somewhat incredulous.

This cultivation stone had a decent area, and with no one around to disturb him, it was considered a good cultivation environment.

Luo Chen just handed it over to him like that?

In his hesitation, Yu Huai finally landed on the meteorite.

With a brief adjustment, he tentatively began cultivating.

However, an odd feeling welled up inside him.

”Why is the surrounding chaotic energy so thin?”

”How could Luo Chen tolerate such a cultivation environment?”

”No matter!”

”First, I’ll find my footing, then explore my limits.”

With this decision, Yu Huai settled down here.

But a few days later, he suddenly awakened from his cultivation state.

The surrounding seemed to have turbulent currents rushing in!

At this point, he realized with a jolt that this place was no different from others.

But why did it feel that way earlier?

An unsettling yet inevitable thought emerged.

”Could it be that the surrounding chaotic energy was all absorbed by Luo Chen earlier?”
