Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3147 - 1182: Dao Artifact Formation, Journey to the Returning Ruins

[Water Origin 9/100]

Looking at this entry, Luo Chen was momentarily dazed.

Having cultivated for over five hundred years and refined his body for three hundred, now approaching nine hundred years old, he mastered countless divine skills and many of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

The once sparse Attribute Panel is now filled with entries, shining like a starry sky.

So much so that some of the past achievements were drowned out among the countless entries, completely unnoticed.

Even though he kept compressing and hiding unimportant entries, those remaining were still plentiful.

In understanding the Four Elements Principle, Luo Chen, for the sake of simplicity, bundled the origins of the three elements aside from the [True Intent of Withering and Flourishing] together, collectively called [Water Fire Earth].

The reason for this arrangement was not only for convenience but also because the progress of comprehending those three origins was at the starting point, without any differentiating factors.

But at some unknown time... perhaps while Luo Chen was focused on cultivating, the entry for Water Origin surprisingly listed separately.

There is only one possibility for such a situation.

Its progress was different from the other entries.

Indeed!

As Luo Chen scanned through, the origins of fire and earth remained at the starting point of [1/100].

Only Water Origin had eight additional progress points.

In addition to joy, Luo Chen even felt a sense of shock.

In the Great Destruction Realm, he hadn’t done any law comprehension-related cultivation, and there wasn’t even Spirit Qi, so how could there be any deepening of law comprehension?

Moreover, Luo Chen was certain that before entering the Nine-layered Immortal Tower and before cultivating Annihilation Nine Rings, he had checked the Attribute Panel, and it wasn’t like this.

”Law... Annihilation Nine Rings!”

Suddenly.

Luo Chen remembered something.

In the void, Luo Chen paused his steps to return to Li Chen Island and immediately sat cross-legged in the Chaos Sea.

His entire mind and senses seeped into his body, even reviving a portion of the long-quiet Main Soul.

All attention collectively focused on the automatically operating Primordial Chaos Tripod within him.

Upon close observation, Luo Chen was surprised to discover a thin layer of blue light emanating from the Ding Body. These blue lights came from the paintings on the inner and outer walls of the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

The murals depicted mountains and waters supporting each other, flying birds circling, and animals roaming.

Each was lifelike, but ultimately, they weren’t living things.

Only the streams, rivers, and seas were incredibly lifelike, as if they were real.

Seeing this, Luo Chen trembled all over.

Through the connection of his mind with the Natal Magic Item, he immediately realized what this symbolized.

”The Water Origin has reached Completion!”

”No!”

”It should be said that the Primordial Chaos Tripod has gathered the Water Origin, possessing a complete Law Origin!”

In the Land of Returning Ruins, the Great Dao Path is incomplete, laws are fragmented.

Therefore, aside from the cultivation method that tempers the physical body, no other cultivation systems can proceed.

Luo Chen had long been aware of this.

In fact, he discovered upon first entering the Annihilation Nine Rings that while the Primordial Chaos Tripod absorbed chaotic energy, it was also absorbing some imperceptible Law Fragments within it.

But those fragments were too small and few, and after the initial curiosity, Luo Chen didn’t pay much attention.

Over a hundred years later

At some unknown time, the Primordial Chaos Tripod had quietly gathered the Law Fragments of the Water Origin, constructing a complete Law Origin.

”If this is truly the case, then these additional Water Origins within me are the result of the Primordial Chaos Tripod feeding back after it absorbed enough?”

Luo Chen made such a speculation.

But this speculation only increased his astonishment.

Back in the Mountain Sea Realm, after he first comprehended the True Intent of a Law, he exchanged ideas with others during the Shouyang Discourse, asking how to enhance the comprehension of a Law’s True Intent.

The answers at that time were few.

But in the subsequent hundreds of years, Luo Chen gradually mastered the related cultivation knowledge.

In the universe, there are three thousand Great Dao Paths, and countless laws.

The Great Dao Path encompasses laws, and many laws of the same source converge into a Great Dao Path.

For example, the True Intent of Withering and Flourishing that Luo Chen first comprehended was just one of the Law True Intents contained within the Wood Dao.

To truly grasp the Wood Dao, one must eventually comprehend the Origin of Wood and numerous Law True Intents related to the Wood Path.

Among the numerous Law True Intents, the Origin Power stands out as particularly unique.

It is not something to be comprehended by chance but rather accumulated bit by bit over time through cultivation.

Furthermore, this cultivation process, summarized by generations of sages, has formed a complete pathway.

Divine Transformation is the starting point, but not that an Immortal Cultivator can directly cultivate Origin Power at this stage; it merely provides a key to harness Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Divine Transformation cultivates the Primordial Spirit, Refining Void consolidates the Dharma Image; these two realms essentially lay the groundwork for cultivating Origin Power.

Only through Refining Void and Merging with the Tao, Refining False into True, and integrating the Dharma Image with the Primordial Spirit, is the foundation for cultivating the Origin Power truly established.

In a sense, Divine Transformation, Refining Void, and even Integration can be seen as the ”Foundation Establishment Stage” on the cultivation path of the law.

After Integration, the cultivator no longer fears getting lost in the Primordial Energy Ocean or the risk of assimilation from long-term activation of Origin Power, and can boldly extract the Law Origin from the universe.

Once reaching Completion, it is the Mahayana Period.

At this time, the lifespan of the Immortal Cultivator will extend to an entire era, enough to equate with Heaven’s longevity, which is why they are honored as Mahayana Venerable!

Here is where Luo Chen’s astonishment lies.

Not to mention whether he can cultivate Immortal Qi, his previous realm was only at the Divine Transformation Stage, far from capturing the origin of the universe, not to mention he hadn’t even consolidated a Dharma Image.
