Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1404: Chapter 526: I, Qingyang

Within the Sea of Qi, True Fire blazed fiercely.

The light of blue and red nearly filled the entire Sea of Qi.

Such a state seemed like vigorous vitality, with all things competing to thrive.

The Golden Core and those Breaking Moon Wings of Fire Attribute, under such a vibrant environment, were truly like fish back in water.

The Breaking Moon Wings transformed into flowing moons, constantly flying and revolving.

The speed of the Red Golden Core’s automatic rotation grew faster and faster, greedily trying to absorb the abundant vitality contained within the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

The Prosperity and Decline True Fire, as if possessing intelligence, was quite unwilling to share the vitality, refined from the burning of tens of thousands of sea serpents, with the Golden Core and the Breaking Moon Wings.

However, being within it, some of it was still inevitably shared.

Of course, the majority was still retained by the Prosperity and Decline True Fire itself.

In the midst of it all, it seemed to be undergoing a transformation in some direction?

Luo Chen closed his eyes to sense the changes within the Sea of Qi, and he instantly captured that slight unwillingness from the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

”Is this... intelligence?”

Surprise appeared on Luo Chen’s face.

There are Strange Fires between heaven and earth, many born from perilous places, and once they take shape, they can exist independently of their origin.

Hence, Strange Fires are often referred to as Sourceless Fires!

Cultivators refine them to be used as True Fire; in doing so, Sourceless Fire gains a resting place and an origin, thus becoming Original Source True Fire.

But the number of Sourceless Fires, like stars in the sky, are not all uniquely powerful.

They are rather like plants and stones that have cultivated into spirits, unconventional cultivators in their own right.

At the beginning, they generally do not possess spirit intelligence, acting purely on instinct.

Moreover, unlike demon beasts that evolve from wild beasts, which can develop intelligence and actively transform at low realms.

It is rumored that Sourceless Fires wanting to develop intelligence must at least ascend to a Fifth-Order Level to create a hint of spirituality.

Luo Chen’s Prosperity and Decline Fire was acquired from the Flame Alliance.

Initially only at a Third-Order Stage.

For three hundred years, it was nurtured by the Flame Alliance using the Heavenly Craft Qi Snatching Array-modified Burning Incense Snatching Spirit Formation, and by occasionally adding various woods and demon beast blood, over time, its Order was pushed to the Fourth Order Level.

And this was essentially the limit for the Prosperity and Decline Fire.

Its potential was only as such.

However, after Luo Chen later refined it, he found that it unknowingly brought with it the natural habit of the Burning Incense Snatching Spirit.

Therefore, after extensively burning and refining living beings, it could actively plunder the life essence contained within the creatures.

Most of this vitality was absorbed by the Prosperity and Decline Fire itself, a smaller part benefited Luo Chen, even bringing an increased lifespan.

But even so, the ceiling of the Prosperity and Decline Fire could be seen at a glance.

The most it could reach was the Fourth Order limit, unable to break through the Fifth-Order Level.

But now, it faintly possessed a trace of intelligence, which was remarkable!

Intelligence is a trait of Fifth Order Sourceless Fire!

In other words, the Prosperity and Decline Fire has the hope of advancing to Fifth Order!

”Could it be that a qualitative change has come from a quantitative change?”

”But tens of thousands of sea serpents, are they really comparable to a few Third Order Demon Beasts?”

”Could it be... the ’Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra’?”

The more Luo Chen cultivated this technique, known as the ancestor of the Fire Law, the more he found it to be exceedingly mysterious.

Even if it was just the Golden Core Chapter, even if it did not contain any appended techniques or secret techniques.

Just the mere change of Spiritual Root Attribute, with its profound and enchanting method of concealing one attribute among five, was enough to benefit endlessly.

Now it seemed that there were many other aspects of this cultivation technique worth exploring.

His proficiency in the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra” had just barely reached a Proficiency Level, but with subsequent perfection, Grandmaster, and even Finalization, perhaps even more changes would naturally arise!

After checking the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, Luo Chen also inspected his own physique.

Even if it was just a part of the vitality shared by the Prosperity and Decline Fire, after being absorbed by the body, a warm sensation flowed throughout his body.

Even, Luo Chen felt that his lifespan limit would also be increased with the transformation of his body.

And this amount might be substantial!

”Tens of thousands of sea serpents, it’s uncertain how many years they would add to my lifespan limit.”

”If it’s a lot, doesn’t that mean I can sustain longevity in an alternative manner by hunting demon beasts extensively, refining them, and obtaining lifespan?”

When this thought emerged, Luo Chen was momentarily excited.

Much later, Luo Chen finally suppressed the excitement in his heart.

This method of longevity was ultimately not the proper way!

It might be worth trying, but should never be relied upon.

He didn’t just want longevity, but immortality!

Lifespan could bring longevity, but immortality required sufficient Dao protection measures.

And powerful Dao protection measures would surely rely on the continuous transformation of cultivation realms.

So, cultivation was still of paramount importance, and one must not neglect one aspect for another!

After a thorough investigation, Luo Chen sent out a message.

Soon after, Cheng Haichang entered the cabin.

”Ascendant Master, do you have any orders for me?”

This time, Luo Chen didn’t use Mirror Flower, Water Moon technique but simply started a serene conversation with the other party.

”Earlier, I observed you all standing strong amidst the sea serpent siege, this ship is quite exceptional!”

Cheng Haichang nodded, ”Lord has discerning eyes indeed, this Monster Hunting Ship is truly extraordinary, it was purchased by our Cheng Family at great expense. It can sail in the deep sea, hunting fish and Demon Beasts far away from the islands populated by the Human Clan.”

”Monster Hunting Ship?” Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on the ship beneath his feet.

With his knowledge, he could certainly see that the quality of this ship was at the Magic Treasure Tier!

Such a big ship must be extremely expensive.
