Longevity begins with alchemy master

Boom!
Boom!
The two figures were slapped back into the hall by the Xuanhuang giant hand, turning into rolling gourds on the smooth, bright floor, looking utterly disheveled.

Lian Buwei struggled to sit up, but couldn't help spit out a mouthful of blood.

puff!
He stared in disbelief at the towering figure standing at the entrance of the main hall.

"Who are you, daring to attack us?"

Deng Taiyue ignored him and just looked at Luo Chen, as if waiting for him to make a statement.

This turn of events happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.

Almost the instant Luo Chen uttered the words "Tian Yuan Dao Sect," Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting realized something was wrong and instinctively rushed out.

They knew very well that Luo Chen's blatant words meant he could not possibly have leaked the information before launching the attack, and he certainly could not have allowed the two of them to leave this place alive.

However, some people are even faster than them!
Deng Taiyue of the Taishan Sect, who had been absent for some time, suddenly made a move, severely injuring two Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop before they could react!
Luo Chen's gaze fell silently, the chilling killing intent within it so blatantly displayed.

Shi Chuanting, who had been silent since arriving here, suddenly screamed, "Luo Chen, are you crazy? Tianyuan Dao Sect is not something you can afford to offend!"

Yes!

Has Luo Chen gone mad?

They actually want to attack the Tianyuan Dao Sect! That's the Tianyuan Dao Sect!

It is a sacred place!
It is the number one power in the world of mountains and seas!

There are countless powerful individuals with profound resources, and even a living Nascent Soul stage expert personally overseeing the event!
Is there really a madman in this world who wants to defy such an existence?

Someone opened their mouth as if to speak, but Luo Chen had already nodded slightly to Deng Taiyue.

Deng Taiyue stepped forward.

A person stood in his way.

Elder Dongyang looked nervous, his eyes even carrying a hint of pleading.

"We can't do that, Master Taiyue. There might be some misunderstanding. Let's all sit down and talk things over..."

boom!
A massive pillar of light descended from the sky, piercing the dome and enveloping Elder Dongyang, who hadn't finished speaking.

No matter how much Elder Dongyang tried to activate his magic, he could not break free from the terrifying suppressive force.

He could no longer stop Deng Taiyue in the slightest.

Deng Taiyue's pupils contracted as he looked at the pillar of light. He glanced at Luo Chen, who sat calmly above him, then stepped over the Grand Elder of Dongyang and arrived in front of Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting.

Knowing they had no hope of escaping, the two looked on in despair.

Then, despair turned into madness.

"The Dao Sect will avenge us!"

"Let's go to hell together!"

The two roared, their magical power suddenly contracting inwards, heading towards the Nascent Soul stage.

An extreme aura began to expand, containing a destructive force.

someone exclaimed.

"They're going to self-destruct their Nascent Souls!"

"Come on!"

"leave here!"

However, how could he so easily self-destruct his nascent soul in front of Luo Chen?

However, Luo Chen did not make a move, but left everything to Deng Taiyue.

It must also be handed over to Deng Taiyue!

These two Daoist masters must die here today. Firstly, to block the news; secondly, to make an example of them; and finally, to serve as a pledge of loyalty!
Deng Taiyue's pledge of allegiance—a pledge of allegiance where everyone present ignored the deaths of the two men!

Deng Taiyue suddenly made a hand seal, then flipped his hand and pressed down.

"seal up!"

In an instant, a mysterious aura appeared on the two of them, and the ever-increasing destructive aura suddenly disappeared, as if it had been sealed off.

Under the wide-eyed gazes of Lian Buwei and Shi Chuanting, Deng Taiyue extended a finger from each hand and gently tapped the tops of their heads from a distance.

laugh!
laugh!
Two holes appeared, and two figures collapsed limply to the ground.

Deng Taiyue clapped his hands, and a yellowish-brown spiritual light emanated from his body.

The earthy yellow spiritual light rolled on the ground and then transformed into a burly man.

"Shi Gandang greets the Sect Master!"

"Deal with these two. Be careful of the Nascent Soul I've sealed away; don't hurt yourself."

Shi Gandang gave a muffled reply, then carried the two corpses out of the main hall.

Elder Dongyang, who had his back to everyone, trembled violently when he saw Shi Gandang carrying two limp corpses past him.

Deng Taiyue ignored all of this, flicked his sleeves, and bowed to Luo Chen.

"Fellow Daoist, you have fulfilled your mission!"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, please take a seat!"

Before anyone knew it, Xiaobai had brought over a prayer mat and placed it on Luo Chen's left.

Deng Taiyue lifted his Taoist robe and sat down calmly.

After the Taiyue Zhenren took his seat, the previously quiet hall suddenly erupted in excitement.

"Did you really kill him?"

"That's a disciple of the Holy Land!"

"How dare Master Taiyue, the Pill Sect..."

"We've caused a huge mess, a huge problem. Those two were stewards of the Tianyuan Dao Sect who were left in the Eastern Wilderness to plunder resources. Now that they've been killed, the Dao Sect will surely be furious and send troops."

"what should we do?"

……

Amidst the chaos and panic, a heavy coughing sound could be heard.

Everyone fell silent, then subconsciously looked at the old man in front of them, as if they had found their pillar of support.

Tian Duzi ignored these gazes, staring at Luo Chen with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Dan Zong, have you already entered the Nascent Soul realm?"

Luo Chen's lips curled slightly. "How do you know?"

Tian Duzi swallowed hard and pointed to Elder Dongyang, who was still completely immobilized and suppressed by the pillar of light.

Only then did everyone react.

Luo Chen actually used some unknown means to easily suppress a well-known Yuanhou Grand Cultivator!
It was neither magic nor supernatural power; no magical treasures were seen, and we didn't even see how Luo Chen made his move.

How did he do it?
Although it is rumored that Luo Chen is known as the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage, on par with the demoness Qing Shuang, people are more willing to believe that it is because Luo Chen's combat ability is too powerful.

They didn't think much of Luo Chen's cultivation level.

After all, Luo Chen's cultivation time was too short, and his cultivation experience was traceable.

However, without a direct confrontation, Luo Chen managed to suppress the Grand Elder of Dongyang. The elder couldn't even turn around and stood there stiffly like a wooden stake, with his back to everyone.

A Nascent Soul cultivator could never achieve this.

Only the Divine Transformation!

Tian Duzi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"I am proficient in formations, and I can even set up some fifth-order formations. I also know how to borrow energy from heaven and earth."

"Your method contains an extremely complex and mixed spiritual energy, which is beyond the scope of our Nascent Soul stage, which can only control free-floating spiritual energy of corresponding attributes. In other words, you are manipulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

"And manipulating the primordial energy of heaven and earth is the most prominent characteristic of a Nascent Soul cultivator, a powerful technique!"

"You really broke through?"

These words shocked everyone.

Even the Nine-Headed Lion King stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. How could Luo Chen, at such a young age, possibly have broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?

It should be noted that when the two first met, he was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, while Luo Chen was only at the third level. How could he surpass him in such a short time and break through to a higher level?

But reality seems to be right in front of us?
Luo Chen chuckled softly, nodded slightly, and then slowly shook his head.

"It is a transformation into a deity, yet it is not a transformation into a deity."

Tian Duzi frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

Luo Chen laughed and said, "I have only mastered the method and am able to briefly enter the Nascent Soul realm."

Everyone was completely bewildered. What did it mean to briefly enter the Nascent Soul realm?

No breakthrough is no breakthrough, and a breakthrough is a breakthrough.

Is it possible for him to go up, fall down again, and repeat this cycle over and over again? What does he take cultivation for?

Luo Chen didn't offer much explanation for everyone's questions.

In fact, Luo Chen had only gradually come to a complete understanding of his own situation over the years.

He can use the "Moonlight Purification Mantra" to condense his divine soul and merge it with his nascent soul to form a temporary primordial spirit. This state, which initially lasted for half an hour or an hour, has now, after a hundred years, lasted for a whole day!
Then he comprehended the true meaning of three laws, and in his primordial spirit state, he could control more of the primordial energy of heaven and earth than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

In addition, there are the three supernatural powers he created: the Dao of Withering and Flourishing, the Three Heads and Six Arms he cultivated, and the "Thousand Heavens and Myriad Transformations Sword Scripture".

In that case, what difference would there be between him and a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation, the true meaning of the laws, the control of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, mastery of supernatural powers—all these things combined together, even if it's only for a day, Luo Chen would be a Deity Transformation expert for a day!

Regardless of what others might speculate, Luo Chen focused his attention on the stiff old man.

With a thought, the pillar of light reaching the sky vanished instantly.

The Grand Elder of Dongyang, suddenly relieved of the immense pressure, unleashed the magical power he had been trying to unleash. This was the accumulated power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, incomparably powerful, surpassing even Deng Taiyue, Nine-Spirit Yuanjun, and Peng Xiang Zhenren; perhaps only Tian Duzi could rival it. However, compared to the pillar of Yuan Qi that Luo Chen had casually summoned earlier, it was like a firefly. Especially the scorching gaze behind him, which made him feel as if he were being pricked by thorns.

The old man released his aura and then withdrew it immediately. He took two steps with a slight stagger before turning around.

He looked at Luo Chen with fear in his eyes, opened his mouth as if to speak, but when the words reached his lips, he felt that it would be meaningless to say anything.

In the end, he could only manage a bitter smile and say, "Dan Sect, why have things come to this!"

The people inside the hall nodded in agreement. Yes, it had come to this!

To start a bloody war before the matter is even settled leaves no room for retreat for anyone.

Previously, everyone had nominated Luo Chen as the representative of the Eastern Wilderness. Now you are taking the lead in doing this kind of thing. Isn't that putting everyone in a deadly situation?
Luo Chen calmly replied, "It must be so. There is bound to be a battle between me and the Tianyuan Dao Sect."

"But what are your chances of winning?" Elder Dongyang said dejectedly, "Yes, you are very strong, stronger than anyone imagined! But you are ultimately not a Nascent Soul cultivator, and you will be facing the first holy land in the Mountain and Sea Realm, which has a history of ten thousand years and has developed for three thousand years since ancient times. What do you have to fight against them? Are you relying on people like us?"

Luo Chen chuckled lightly, "In my life, I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning. Since I've decided to take action, I will definitely be well prepared."

The Grand Elder of Dongyang looked at Luo Chen blankly, "Ready?"

Luo Chen tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention, or rather, he didn't need to draw their attention at all; he simply made them pay more attention to what he was about to say.

"In this battle, the elite forces of the Eastern Wilderness have been mobilized. Not only you and my Luo Tian Sect, but also the demon race of the Eastern Wilderness, a total of twenty-four demon emperors. Among them are great demon emperors such as Bi Zheng, Niu Gui, Juan Kuang, and Lei Yu Shen Peng!"

Everyone was stunned. Humans and demons joined forces?

Then, they subconsciously recalled what Lian Buwei of Daozong had said earlier—"Luo Chen is colluding with the demon race!"

However, faced with the formidable strength that Luo Chen had previously displayed, comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he dared not utter these words.

Tian Duzi asked cautiously, "How did you do that?"

Luo Chen retorted, "If I can refine Nascent Soul Pills and Enlightenment Pills for you, why can't I refine pills for them?"

Do demons need elixirs for cultivation?
Everyone looked confused.

However, Crane Emperor, sitting behind Immortal Crane, said thoughtfully, "Transformation Pill?"

Back then, the Crane Emperor's transformation was incomplete. It was only through the Transformation Pill given to him by Luo Chen that he was able to reach the Nascent Soul realm.

Luo Chen nodded. "Yes, it is a Transformation Pill, but it is more than just a Transformation Pill. Moreover, you must understand one thing: after signing the ceasefire treaty, the two races will usher in a short period of peace. Exchanging resources and exchanging goods will be better than fighting and killing each other. Think about it, how many rare flowers and herbs, minerals and treasures are there in the Hundred Thousand Mountains? These can all be obtained by exchanging magical treasures and pills without fighting."

Luo Chen said a lot, but they were all just excuses.

The group of demon experts he invited didn't require him to pay any price.

The Lord of the True Palace has the authority to summon all beings under his command!
Others, unaware of this, began to wonder if the human and demon races, if they joined forces, would have the strength to confront the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Luo Chen continued eloquently, "This battle brings together the peak forces of the Eastern Wilderness, but it is not about confronting the entire Tianyuan Dao Sect. After the great calamity in the Central Continent, the entire continent was torn apart, and my target is only the ancestral home of the Dao Sect, the Eastern Yuan Continent. As long as we are fast enough, we can leave calmly before the reinforcements from the other two continents arrive."

Upon hearing this, the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Elder Dongyang still shook his head.

"The current ancestral temple of the Dao Sect is protected by Ancestor Liancheng inside and by the four top families of Lian, Ke, Shi, and Li outside. There are also many Nascent Soul families. Relying on us alone is still not enough."

Luo Chen was not surprised by Elder Dongyang's knowledge of the Dao Sect, after all, the other party was once the first local force in the Eastern Wilderness to pledge allegiance to the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

Luo Chen simply uttered two more names.

"Li Canghai, Qing Shuang!"

Among the crowd, some looked somewhat bewildered, but others, well-informed, recognized the two names.

"Li Canghai, could he be that powerful figure from the North Sea?"

"Yes, he and I have a tacit understanding, and we will act together when the time comes."

"This……"

"And there's Qing Shuang. Perhaps you don't know, but she has already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and achieved the body of an ancient demon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was visibly shaken.

The number one demon below the Nascent Soul stage, who once dominated the Eastern Wilderness for three hundred years, has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

So fast, yet so perfectly natural, as if it were only right for the other party to act this way.

Therefore, everyone suddenly understood, and even felt fortunate, that a ceasefire treaty had been concluded earlier.

With Qing Shuang's abilities, she used to be able to roam freely in the Eastern Wilderness. If she were to make a move now, who in the vast Eastern Wilderness could stop her?
"Cangwu Mountain and Tianyuan Dao Sect have an irreconcilable hatred. The reason why the demon race is willing to stop the war with us and even join forces with us is because we have a common enemy."

"Everyone, with two powerful figures personally taking action, plus the strongest combat force in the Eastern Wilderness, are you still afraid of the Tianyuan Dao Sect?"

Luo Chen looked intently at everyone, his words brimming with powerful confidence.

The Ambrosia Pill reappeared before everyone's eyes.

"Master Taiyue broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage by consuming the Enlightenment Pill refined by our sect. He not only comprehended the essence of earth but also greatly increased his strength. You should have all seen the clues from his actions just now!"

Just now, Deng Taiyue severely injured two Daoist True Persons and then sealed their Nascent Souls in a crazy act of self-destruction. Such methods are beyond what ordinary spells can achieve.

Only by comprehending the true meaning of the law!

"As long as you are willing to help me even once, you can also obtain a Mind-Enlightening Pill... including you, Elder Dongyang!"

Elder Dongyang's throat bobbed, and his previous distraught appearance had largely dissipated.

"I know you want to join the Tianyuan Dao Sect and become a guest elder of the Star Gate in order to advance to the Nascent Soul realm in the future."

"But did you know that Stargate has long been defunct in name only?"

"Did you know that the former Star Gate elders have all been sidelined and sidelined?"

"The Tianyuan Dao Sect is currently investing all its resources in its elite members and the next generation. Do you think they would open doors for an outsider like you?"

"The Elixir of Enlightenment cannot guarantee absolute success, but this is your last chance!"

Luo Chen's words, like the whispers of a demon, kept echoing in the ears of Elder Dongyang.

It also lingers in everyone's heart.

The comparison of the two sides' strength, the two Nascent Soul stage experts plus Luo Chen who could briefly enter the Nascent Soul stage, and the temptation of divine pills like the Enlightenment Pill, all made everyone waver.

The atmosphere in the hall became heavy again, and everyone was deep in thought.

Should we consider getting involved?

Consider what would happen to you if you failed, and what would happen to your sect, descendants, relatives and friends?
What would you gain if you succeeded?
In the midst of this silence, a resounding and firm voice suddenly rang out.

"I am but a rogue cultivator, and it is only through the kindness of the Pill Sect that I have had the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Now that the senior of the Pill Sect has pointed out the path to the Deity Transformation realm, how can I hesitate and not move forward?"

"Lord Bo Han, I am willing to lend my full support!" (End of Chapter)
