Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

On a day like today, this discussion on the Dao had already taken place several times, all initiated by Luo Chen.

The purpose was to help Luo Chen perfect his master cultivation technique.

He and Fang Qingxue both intended to support Luo Chen, so they always came willingly.

The process of discussion was quite selfless, even Luo Chen relaxed his vigilance, allowing them to observe his martial arts divine spirit, making it easier for them to give suggestions.

But the results of Luo Chen’s cultivation left them with nothing to criticize.

Luo Chen did not feel proud of their recognition; instead, he fell into contemplation.

His self-created ”God Demon Formless,” was originally just a transition for the Fourth Realm of Body Refinement, but unexpectedly, it already encompassed the cultivation methods of the Human Immortal Realm.

This realization left him feeling both satisfied and somewhat dissatisfied.

After pondering for a while, Luo Chen suddenly spoke: ”Mr. Fang!”

”Luo Chen, you are slightly older than I am, why not call me Xiaomei like Brother Gu Xun does!” Fang Qingxue brushed back a strand of hair from her cheek, showing a rare playful expression on her girlish face. ”I like this title; it makes me feel as if I am still very young and can live for a long, long time.”

Luo Chen was speechless.

Martial artists in the Great Destruction Realm are indeed different from those immortal cultivators in the outer world.

There is little pretense; everything is based on true feelings, genuinely acting with nature!

He too did not adhere strictly to formalities and asked affectionately, ”Xiaomei, your family’s scholarly background is deep, having inherited the true teachings of the Master of Wuyou Realm, you must know much. Could you share some knowledge about the realms beyond the Martial Dao Human Immortal Realm?”

Fang Qingxue hesitated for a moment, but then generously began to speak.

”After the Human Immortal Realm, comes the Destruction Realm. My family’s ancestor reached that realm, and according to him, it means the completion of the Martial Arts Divine Spirit, indistinguishable from my true self, and even if the physical body perishes, the martial artist’s consciousness can survive through the Martial Arts Divine Spirit, truly achieving immortality...”

...

Fang Qingxue and Gu Xun had already left.

Yet Luo Chen remained immersed in the martial arts knowledge Fang Qingxue had shared before leaving.

Beyond the Human Immortal Realm is the Destruction Realm, and cultivation in the Destruction Realm varies from person to person.

At that time, the Martial Arts Divine Spirit will have reached completion, and though the physical body may fall, the consciousness remains intact, which sounds similar to an immortal cultivator’s focus on the divine soul.

But in reality, it’s entirely the opposite!

In that realm, the Martial Arts Divine Spirit must closely align with the martial artist’s physical body, making them more tightly integrated, never abandoning the physical body.

Otherwise, even if the consciousness persists, over time it will disperse into chaos, becoming an obsession in the heavens and earth.

In fact, the reason there are so many Ghost Nightmares in the Great Destruction Realm is also related to the excessive number of martial artists here.

Martial artists with strong consciousness leave behind lingering thoughts after death, with a powerful desire to possess a physical body once more.

Thus, they become Ghost Nightmares, invading human dreams and attempting to seize possession.

This is the innate nature of Ghost Nightmares!

Even though they cannot truly possess human physical bodies, they persistently try to do so.

I’ve digressed.

The Martial Arts Divine Spirit must not abandon the physical body, but instead should integrate more closely, forming a unified whole!

Only thus, can one be broken and then reforged.

When cultivated to the limit, one can shatter the Qi Blood Furnace within, to consolidate the accumulation of Gang Qi throughout their life, creating an internal space.

By this, one can achieve the martial artists’ most coveted Seventh Realm of the Martial Dao—Nirvana Realm!

”Nirvana Realm!”

Muttering this all too familiar term, Luo Chen felt a sense of confusion, as if thinking of Qi Xia Emperor and the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” he once cultivated.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen pulled back from his thoughts.

To harness immense power unto oneself, giving birth to a Martial Arts Divine Spirit even the heavens and earth cannot control, is termed a Human Immortal.

Martial Dao Human Immortal, Seeing God Unbreakable.

After destruction, comes Nirvana Rebirth!

This clearly is a path of constant breaking and reformation in cultivation.

To forge an awe-inspiring power through countless trials and tribulations!

”In that case, I now have a direction for developing a suitable follow-up cultivation technique for myself.”

Luo Chen slightly grasped some insights.

As for cultivation at the current realm, after several exchanges of learning, Luo Chen already had plans.

In general, he could follow what Gu Xun and Fang Qingxue had mentioned, keeping it unchanged.

But in details, there would be changes.

The usual martial artists at the Human Immortal Realm can only consolidate one Martial Arts Divine Spirit, and all cultivation revolves around it.

Yet Luo Chen is a bit different.

His physical body is extraordinarily powerful, like a savage beast true spirit, akin to a demon beast or demon race, and even the refined acupoints in his body are stronger than those of ordinary people.

With the help of the Primordial Chaos Tripod to convert chaotic energy, the efficiency is more than a hundred times higher.

As a result, he can completely consolidate a greater number of Martial Arts Divine Spirits!

If such a cultivation method were revealed, Gu Fang would surely exclaim that Luo Chen was insane.

Because having more than one Martial Arts Divine Spirit within a martial artist could affect the one that best aligns with their consciousness.

But Luo Chen is fearless.

The Martial Arts Divine Intent he comprehends is that of No Self Divine Will, or it could also be Only Me Divine Will!

With more Martial Arts Divine Spirits within, they will not affect each other, and all belong to Luo Chen’s consciousness.

Most importantly!

The self-created ”Seven Hundred Gods Kill” by Luo Chen requires a sufficient number of Martial Arts Divine Spirits to activate.

Having figured all this out, Luo Chen was no longer confused.

In the following days, apart from rest and the occasional gathering with Gu Fang and others, he was mostly in closed-door cultivation.

...

In the mountains, there is no concept of day or month; in the world, a millennium has passed.

In a state of focused cultivation, time always flows faster than imagined.

Seventy-two years later, in the Chaos Sea.
