Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1998: Chapter 734: The Might of Yuan Tu, Mutations of Withering and Flourishing, Crisis of the Ice Extreme Sect, Reappearance of the Ghost Immortal Tower

”And this is merely the tip of the iceberg for this sword!”

”If I can unlock the third seal...”

Luo Chen licked his lips, feeling a bit restless.

But in the end, he suppressed that greed.

Even a powerful figure like the Blood Sea Elder Ancestor fell under this sword, despite the reasons rooted in that dark world, it’s enough to show the ferocity of Yuan Tu.

Being able to harness any amount of power from this sword is already a fortunate gain, how could he ask for more?

If he really unlocked the third seal and neither he nor the Primordial Chaos Tripod could suppress it, the consequences would be dire.

”What’s available now is enough; there’s no need to desire more.”

Luo Chen took a deep breath and gripped the sword hilt.

Blood and flesh enveloped, gradually covering the Yuan Tu Sword, which slowly disappeared into his right hand.

He chose not to store the sword in his Purple Mansion.

Ultimately, it’s an uncertain item, unlike the known crafted Magic Items like the Primordial Chaos Tripod and Xuan Chen Armor, which he understands thoroughly. If it went berserk in the Purple Mansion, it would harm him.

Storing it within his physical body allowed for instant retrieval in critical moments.

This would suffice.

After refining the Yuan Tu Sword, Luo Chen found his time suddenly free.

With a thought, several Sound Transmission Talismans flew in from outside, igniting spontaneously with Qi Power.

They were all invitations to gatherings of True Masters.

Luo Chen curled his lips in disdain and ignored them.

Those North Sea Nascent Souls, each significantly older, with formidable Dao Cultivation, didn’t care about the short cultivation time during the journey.

But he was different; he couldn’t waste even a moment.

Time must be spent wisely.

”Next, I need to focus on cultivation matters.”

Luo Chen’s eyes glinted with confidence.

After forming his Nascent Soul, besides the Great Soul Pill, he hadn’t consumed many elixirs.

Even though the Hong Yuan Pill had reached the Beginner level, allowing him to refine it easily, he didn’t use it much to assist in cultivation.

He wasn’t afraid of Pill Poison corroding the Purple Mansion Barrier.

The Purple Mansion evolved from the Five Elements Top Grade Spirit Root, vast and spacious, appearing like a small world under the cultivator’s Divine Consciousness.

The thickness of its barrier was not something mere Pill Poison could erode.

The reason for consuming sparingly was that Luo Chen was wary about the ”medication resistance,” a taboo in the Dao of Alchemy.

Now that he had the means, there was no reason to skimp; he could indulge in the best.

So, Luo Chen’s plan was first to increase proficiency in refining the Hong Yuan Pill, producing a large quantity of Medium Grade and even Ascendant Grade quality elixirs.

Thus, cultivation speed could be increased, while greatly delaying the medication resistance of the elixirs.

Upon meeting Fu Chaosheng again, as expected, the second batch of resources was delivered to him.

Compared to the first time, the second was much larger; Luo Chen handed over a whopping forty-five million Spirit Stones, three times the initial amount!

The materials for the Hong Yuan Pill accounted for the majority.

Once these materials were in his possession, Luo Chen had Tian Xuan and the other two handle some preparations, with Fu Hongzhang’s men assisting, sparing Luo Chen any effort.

Now with free time, he aimed to greatly increase his proficiency.

Exhaling lightly...

The Primordial Chaos Tripod appeared in front of him with a spin.

”Grow!”

With a single word, the Primordial Chaos Tripod expanded to a suitable size.

Then, with a thought, a wisp of azure-golden flame emerged from his fingertip.

Staring at the flame, Luo Chen paused.

The golden color was becoming increasingly vibrant!

Since absorbing the Minghuo from Elder Minghuo’s body at Molan Court, the Prosperity and Decline True Fire seemed to be evolving again.

However, this evolution was slow, unlike the rapid bursts in the Blazing Refinement Prison.

Yet, even a slow evolution accumulates over time, leading to noticeable changes.

This change was evident in the color.

”Prosperity and Decline True Fire was originally azure; the trace of gold comes from the Nirvana Sacred Fire, with a clear hierarchy.”

”Now as it shifts towards gold, could it be my Prosperity and Decline True Fire is gradually approaching the Nirvana Sacred Fire?”

Luo Chen was puzzled, not fully understanding the true nature and current transformation of his familiar Original Source True Fire.

It’s a pity there’s no equally powerful combat to test the current might of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire.

”I’ll explore this fire’s situation gradually through pill refinement!”

Luo Chen murmured, casting various herbs into the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

...

The Sword Halberd Ship sailed onward, nearing Sun and Moon Island.

Everyone’s hearts brimmed with anticipation.

That island, like Divine Yuan City, belonged entirely to the Tianyuan Business Alliance.

Once there, Zhongzhou seemed within a transmission’s reach.

Yet, the scenery along the way grew increasingly desolate.

Sights of Demon Beasts running rampant became commonplace.

Evidently, the war between the North Sea Humans and Demons was expanding its scope.

Even Demon Clan members not allied with the Demon Union, under pressure, actively joined in, beginning counterattacks on Human Territory.

After all, since ancient times, the Mountain Sea Realm has been a realm of Savage Beasts, and Demon Beasts originated from them, thus naturally claiming the North Sea’s numerous islands as theirs.

On the Sword Halberd Ship, another gathering among True Masters occurred.

Fu Chaosheng discussed the upcoming plans.

”Up ahead, as long as we pass through the Blue Ice Sea Area of the Ice Extreme Sect, we can reach Sun and Moon Island effortlessly.”

The Blue Ice Sea Area’s geography is unique, covered entirely by solid ice.

This place is also one of the highest-grade Spirit Lands in the North Sea.

Within rests a vast Fourth Order Spirit Vein.

The Ice Extreme Sect is established right above the Blue Ice Sea Area.

Talk of Ice Extreme Sect sparked interest among the group present.

”It’s considered the top Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect in the North Sea, and they even stayed uninvolved during the righteous-demonic war.”

”Indeed, its five Nascent Soul True Masters are renowned, I met with Ascendant Master Blue Jade once, whose elegance and demeanor are truly world-class.”

”Rumor has it, aside from the sect’s formidable strength, their neutrality also stems from a close relationship with the Canghai Alliance. It’s said that Supreme Elder Han Jizi once traveled the Mountain Sea Realm with Li Daneng, forming a strong personal bond.”

”That’s no baseless rumor; the Canghai Alliance’s Island-connecting Array was first openly used by the Ice Extreme Sect, the only non-Canghai Alliance force to do so.”

”Should we visit them while passing by?”

”Let’s not. The Ice Extreme Sect is quite exclusive, even declining proactive invitations from the Yuan Mo Sect back then.”

”Such confidence? That’s a Divine Transformation Holy Land! How dare they?”

”Haha, I know a bit about that. The Mountain Sea Realm was jointly established by all sects, including Divine Transformation Holy Lands and Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects; all contributed. The Ice Extreme Sect is among them, and the alliance treaty states Holy Lands cannot force these significant contributing sects. Besides the Ice Extreme Palace, there are a few similar sects within the Five Continents, aside from Zhongzhou.”

The last speaker was Fu Chaosheng.

He explained why the Ice Extreme Sect holds such an exalted position among the Nascent Soul forces.

Suddenly!

The people present showed varied expressions.

Without hesitation, they all exited the pavilion, their Divine Consciousness probing the nearby blue, icy sea area.

What they perceived left them utterly stunned.

”The Demon Alliance Army, are they not sparing even the Ice Extreme Sect?”

”What a great formation, so many Demon Beasts!”

”That’s... the Ghost Immortal Tower!”
