Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3001 - 1110: Life and Death Reopened, the Mi Realm Enters the Cauldron

South Border, the Gate of Life and Death has opened again!

It’s been nearly two hundred years since the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance joined forces with the Tianyuan Daoist Sect to attack the Gate of Life and Death.

During these two hundred years, legends of Youli Divine Monarch’s retreat and ascension with spectacular radiance still circulate in the Southern Border’s Immortal Cultivation World. Countless people hold great awe for this sole Divine Transformation Holy Land of the South Border.

It is an existence that, despite being sealed off for hundreds of years, still possesses a terrifying foundation.

It’s even said that, in the current era where various Holy Lands in the Mountain Sea Realm have either perished or have greatly diminished vital energy, the continuously sealed Gate of Life and Death might be the existence with the most intact strength preservation.

Now, with the gate to the Holy Land wide open, numerous cultivators naturally pay close attention.

Surprisingly, however, after the Gate of Life and Death opened its portal, no major actions were taken, not even to reclaim former territories and industries.

A little rumor, from a faction friendly with the Gate of Life and Death, began to spread.

Reportedly, the Southern Border Sacred Land emerged this time to welcome one person.

By opening its portal, it welcomes cultivators as a sign of respect!

And what kind of existence should this person be?

Within the Gate of Life and Death’s Book Collection Pavilion, amidst countless speculations, Elder Zi Yan respectfully walked beside a white-clothed Daoist, speaking softly.

”The Calamity Gu is indeed the Tribulation Gu, but the world greatly misinterprets this Gu.”

”This Gu seems to attract disasters, but in essence, it tempers the host through these calamities. Each time a calamity is overcome, the host experiences a tremendous elevation. Especially those natural disasters that harbor the workings of heaven and earth, the host, during the process of transcending tribulation, can directly and clearly comprehend the truths of The Great Dao Path.”

”If one retreats in the face of difficulty, then the Calamity Gu truly becomes a great tribulation!”

”Conversely, there is the Blessing Gu, which on the surface brings much fortune, but at the cost of well-marked consequences. Like our sect’s Supreme Elder, Youli Divine Monarch, who out of momentary greed attracted the descent of the Primordial Energy Ocean, nearly causing the entire Southern Border Immortal Cultivation World to be destroyed by a Spiritual Energy Tide. Fortunately, the Supreme Elder was an unparalleled genius, using this to condense a Dharma Image and ascended with great radiance.”

”Senior need not worry about the remnants of the Calamity Gu’s breath; its faint breath will hardly bring you any great disaster. On the contrary, in desperate situations, it might actually offer you a glimpse of survival, for blessing depends on misfortune, and misfortune relies on blessing.”

”I suppose that is why the Supreme Elder arranged things as he did before ascension!”

The white-clothed Daoist paused in his steps, spreading open a book in his hand.

He appeared thoughtful, muttering the phrase ”blessing depends on misfortune, misfortune relies on blessing,” and in the end, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, closing the book titled ”Strange Gu Talk.”

In this realm, as long as he did not encounter the ultimate Great Wilderness Soul Hanging, who could bring disaster upon him?

The goodwill of Youli Divine Monarch went down the drain.

The white-clothed Daoist handed the ”Strange Gu Talk” back, but to his surprise, Master Zi Yan hastily declined.

”Since Senior Luo is interested in the way of Gu Insects, this book is gifted to you.”

The conversing party was Luo Chen.

He smiled faintly, ”In that case, I shall accept it ungraciously.”

Subsequently, Luo Chen abruptly shifted the conversation to another matter.

”Regarding Mi Realm Mountain, how much does your sect know?”

Master Zi Yan inquired, ”Is Senior referring to the former base camp of the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance?”

”Precisely,” Luo Chen nodded.

Master Zi Yan thought for a moment, then slowly spoke, ”Mi Realm Mountain has been long spoken of in the Southern Border, known as a remarkable place. Once inside, its layers of space seem like three thousand worlds gathered in one mountain. If not careful, it’s easy to get lost. Moreover, after escaping, a Cultivator’s Nascent Soul should shrink soil into inches and escape thousands of miles. But within Mi Realm Mountain, they’re greatly suppressed, unable to escape far. Some speculate the mountain is a transformation of a Great Spiritual Treasure or formed from the relics of a prehistoric Savage Beast, but more believe it’s the result of heaven and earth’s workings, a semi-formed Cave Heaven Blessed Land.”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, ”I am aware of such common knowledge; tell me something I don’t know!”

Master Zi Yan looked at Luo Chen in surprise, then recalled a certain legend.

Back then, a Body Refining Practitioner named Ba Xiu Qi Tian had joined the Evil Mountain Stiff Alliance. This person’s origins were mysterious, and they disappeared without a trace.

Combined with the situation during the Supreme Elder’s ascension, could this Luo Chen be that Ba Xiu Qi Tian?

He hesitated a moment but chose to speak, ”The true origin of Mi Realm Mountain is indeed as most people speculate. It is a Cave Heaven born at the time of the Mountain Sea Realm’s emergence during the primordial opening of heaven and earth. According to records, heaven and earth were like an egg, a mass of chaos. After being split, Pure Qi rose, and Turbid Qi sank, becoming the clear and bright world. However, during this, some peculiar places, due to the pressure of the chaos opening, didn’t separate the pure and turbid but instead overlapped together. Mi Realm Mountain is such an existence.”

Luo Chen nodded with insight, ”The pure and turbid never separated, chaos still persists, which is why Mi Realm Mountain is so peculiar?”

He recalled that year he spent in Mi Realm Mountain.

Apart from cultivating the ”Hundred Poison Body Refining Technique,” most of his time was spent observing the omnipresent Spacial Constraint in Mi Realm Mountain, particularly those that were overtly visible.

Clearly, a large amount of overlapping space led to naturally visible Spacial Constraints.

It was precisely due to that year’s observations, combined with the Red Eyes Golden Pupils, that he was able to gain an edge in his subsequent battle with Qing Shuang.

Listening to the Great Elder of the Gate of Life and Death’s introduction, it indeed matched such descriptions.
