Longevity begins with alchemy master

Born a thousand years ago, now submerged in the sea!
Normally, the dark seawater contains extremely strong corrosive power, especially against cultivators' protective shields.

Because of this, this sea area once became one of the protective barriers of the Yuanmo Sect.

Once the Land of Fallen Demons opens, the Void Burning Wind, which can damage the souls of cultivators, will also erupt from the sky above the Sea of ​​Desolation; that is the truly terrifying place.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not touch it.

Calculating the time, more than three hundred years have passed since the last opening of the Fallen Demon Land, which has long exceeded the opening pattern detected by the cultivators of the North Sea in the past.

But this time, the Land of Fallen Demons did not open normally as before.

Some people speculate that this may be related to the fact that when the demon race broke out of the Night Sky, they diverted a large amount of the earth's energy from the Sea of ​​Sinking.

The wicked monk Kongchan was one of these people with ulterior motives.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have infiltrated the Night Sky with Tai Sui, the Mermaid Emperor, and others, just to find a way to retrieve the earth's energy and reopen the Sea of ​​Sinking.

"You said they went in?" Luo Chen asked softly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Kong Chan nodded solemnly, "That's right, I saw them go in with my own eyes."

“Why didn’t you stop it?”

Kong Chan gave a wry smile. "It's not that I don't want to, but they're too fast. This Black Demon Gu Shaoshang has managed to roam the chaotic North Sea for hundreds of years, so he must have something to rely on. He's also incredibly vigilant. His sister has an amazing sense of divine sense; she'll be detected as soon as you get close. Most importantly... the magic weapon they possess is suspected to be a spiritual treasure, so I dare not act rashly."

Is it a spiritual treasure?

Luo Chen took a deep breath. The Black Demon Jar and the True Yang Crown were not just simple suspected spiritual treasures.

If the spirit of the Heaven-Refining Cauldron hadn't lied to him, then among the many treasures that the Heaven-Refining Demon Lord had refined in his life, there were three that transcended ordinary spiritual treasures and were known as Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures!

From Luo Chen's current understanding, a spirit treasure is a weapon spirit born from the magic weapon itself, and it has a strong degree of autonomy.

Whether it's tracking attacks or automatic protection, it's much easier to control than magical artifacts or real weapons.

The special feature of the Tongtian Lingbao lies in the word "Tongtian" (meaning "reaching the heavens").

These treasures are not simply things that possess spirituality.

They possess the power to amplify laws and amplify power!

The same supernatural power, when used by oneself, has completely different power than when used by a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure!
The Black Demon Jar and the True Sun Crown are spiritual treasures that rival the Heaven-Refining Cauldron.

Luo Chen sent people to find the Gu siblings, partly to eliminate them completely, and partly to seize the two treasures.

He missed out on the Heaven-Refining Cauldron because of the conflict between the Nine Refining Beacon Fire and the Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Even though he later nurtured the Yuan Tu Sword into a supreme weapon of slaughter through his own efforts, it was ultimately not a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

With ascension imminent, why would Luo Chen complain about having too many tricks up his sleeve?
"walk into!"

Luo Chen took the lead and flew directly into the Sea of ​​Sinking.

Kong Chan was taken aback at first, but he still gritted his teeth and followed.

……

Deep in the ocean, a place where bones stand in rows.

A figure was busily arranging something, and next to him was a petite woman.

Seeing her brother's eagerness, Gu Xiaolian finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do we really have to go back?"

Gu Shaoshang replied in a hoarse voice without looking up, "We must go back!"

Gu Xiaolian looked worried. "But why do I feel like I can't go back to the Land of Fallen Demons? Isn't there a rumor in the North Sea that a cultivator should only enter the Land of Fallen Demons once in their lifetime?"

Gu Shaoshang snorted coldly, "Rumors are nothing but rumors. Have you forgotten that Fairy Fei Leng entered the Land of Fallen Demons twice?"

Seeing that his sister was about to say something more, and that he was almost finished with his work, he straightened up and looked at her.

“Xiao Lian, you must understand that there is no place for us in Beihai now. If we stay in the outside world, we will be targeted by powerful Nascent Soul cultivators sooner or later.”

Gu Xiaolian pouted, her chubby cheeks puffed out, and said, "You went too far, killing and killing demons in a frenzy, using their blood, flesh, bones and souls to refine the Black Demon Jar."

“It has nothing to do with these.” Gu Shaoshang shook his head. “The Black Demon Jar and the True Yang Crown you wear have been too prominent in recent years, and many people have guessed that they are suspected to be spiritual treasures. This alone is enough to tempt a Nascent Soul cultivator. If they knew that these two were heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, the entire North Sea, both human and demon races, would go crazy for them.”

Gu Xiaolian blinked. Is that so?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be about right.

Although he could only use the tip of the True Yang Crown, he was still invincible within the Nascent Soul stage with just this little bit of skill.

His elder brother, Gu Shaoshang, was an even more extraordinary talent. He continuously explored the potential of the Black Demon Jar, and in just three hundred years, his cultivation level rose to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the realm of a great cultivator.

"Xiao Lian!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiaolian was a little taken aback by her brother's sudden serious expression.

Gu Shaoshang's originally handsome face now looked somewhat sinister.

"Do you still remember the day my father died in the Mingzhao Heaven?"

Gu Xiaolian was taken aback, then her face turned sorrowful.

"I remember, it was Luo Hai, the Hermit..."

"No, his name is Luo Chen! He is one of the top experts in the world today, and he even killed a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

Gu Shaoshang spoke each word with intense hatred, yet he recounted Luo Chen's experiences with great familiarity.

Clearly, he never let go of that deep-seated hatred from beginning to end.

"This kind of monstrous existence, no matter how hard I try or how crazy I am, I can only follow behind him for the rest of my life and never surpass him."

"Only by returning to the Land of Fallen Demons and obtaining all the Five Elements Heavenly Resources to aid our cultivation can we possibly advance to the Nascent Soul stage and then avenge ourselves."

"This is our real purpose in going back!"

Gu Xiaolian nodded, "Then I'll listen to you, brother!"

Gu Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief, a rare smile appearing on his face.

Now that the Black Demon Jar has been set up, even if the earth's energy is lacking and the time is not yet ripe, we can still open an entrance passage with this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Moreover, it won't make too much noise and won't easily attract attention.

The current cultivation world in the North Sea is not suitable for peaceful cultivation. Only by returning to the Land of Fallen Demons and acquiring all the Five Elements Heavenly Resources can one break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, or even the Divine Transformation stage!

A vortex of energy rose from beneath their feet; it was the entrance to the Land of Fallen Demons.

Gu Shaoshang stepped into it, and looked back at the Sea of ​​Sinking One last time, his eyes filled with a hint of longing.

I wonder how long it will take to get out this time...

At a glance!
Gu Shaoshang was suddenly stunned.

As the ripples of the sea spread out, two figures suddenly came into view.

He could tell at a glance that one of the bald monks was a genuine late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The bald monk, however, was extremely respectful, even humble, following behind another young man.

So, what exactly is the cultivation level of this somewhat familiar young man?

look familiar?

Gu Shaoshang blurted out, "It's you!"

His response was an endless illusion created by a cold glance, and a crimson sword aura before he succumbed to the illusion.

call out!
The sword energy pierced through the air, forcibly squeezing into the vortex and striking Gu Shaoshang's body heavily.

Bang!
Within the cyclone, the blood mist exploded outwards.

What followed was the woman's heart-wrenching wail.

"elder brother!"

Boundless light erupted from the woman, obscuring everything and illuminating the Sea of ​​Despair.

The following sword energy was scattered into pieces.

When all the noise subsided, the vortex had dissipated, leaving only two figures, an old man and a young man.

“It’s the entrance.” After a brief observation, Kong Chan made the correct judgment.

Luo Chen naturally knew that what he cared about wasn't that, but rather the life and death of the two siblings. Gu Shaoshang was definitely dead, utterly dead.

With his current primordial spirit strength, the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique has undergone different changes.

When the mirror breaks and the water ripples, it signifies the withering of flowers and the passing of the moon, representing the destruction of the soul that has been lost in the chaos.

That single strike of the Crimson Sky Sword Qi was enough to destroy Gu Shaoshang's physical body.

But that woman, Gu Xiaolian…

"She should still be alive. The True Sun Crown protected her at the critical moment, and she should have escaped into the Land of Fallen Demons."

It truly lives up to its reputation as a divine treasure!

Faced with the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator, even the person involved didn't have time to react, but the True Yang Crown was able to automatically protect its master.

Otherwise, Luo Chen would have completely eradicated the threat.

Kong Chan watched the dissipating vortex and cautiously asked, "Shall we go in?"

Luo Chen did not answer, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Go in?

He didn't have the method to enter the Land of Fallen Demons.

Although he also possessed two spiritual treasures personally crafted by the Heavenly Demon Lord, one was the Burial Umbrella, which had been with the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect before the Demon Lord's fall, and the other was the Yuan Tu Sword, which only fully awakened its intelligence later.

Neither of them knew how to return to the Land of Fallen Demons under abnormal activation conditions.

and!

Although Nascent Soul cultivators are among the most powerful beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm, they are not invincible, and there are many dangerous places that can threaten their safety.

Like the Broken Soul Cliff that severely injured Qixia Yuanjun, or the Fallen Demon Land before us that once buried the Blood Sea Ancestor.

Forcing your way in would be extremely unwise!

"Let's go see an old friend first."

"Who?"

“He also entered the Land of Fallen Demons and obtained a great opportunity, proving himself to the Dao and becoming a Nascent Soul. It would be simpler to ask him some questions.” Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Kong Chan was initially bewildered, but then suddenly realized the truth.

The person the master mentioned was very famous; everyone in the entire North Sea knew him.

It must be that powerful Daoist expert—Li Canghai!

……

Beihai, the edge of the world!

This place was once the headquarters of the Canghai Righteous Path Alliance. At its peak, it was filled with cultivators, and their escape lights were as numerous as wisps of light.

Even though the Canghai Righteous Path Alliance is now defunct in name only, and the dominant forces such as the Demon Luo Flow and the Myriad Immortals Society have been swept away by the winds of time, Tianzhiya is still incredibly lively.

This is because it is the only cultivation ground for a powerful human in the North Sea!
The cultivation world in Beihai is currently in utter chaos, with constant monster invasions, murders, and treasure hunts. In contrast, Tianzhiya, with a powerful figure overseeing it, is much safer.

Regardless of whether Li Canghai was in charge or cared about the lives of the ants below, those demon cultivators still had to give him some face and dared not cause trouble on this small piece of land.

This day.

Two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the edge of the world.

As the two figures appeared, the owner of this place seemed to sense it, and the clouds in the sky gathered, opening a gate in the void.

"Fellow Daoist, if you don't mind, you may come inside for a while."

Luo Chen stared at the void portal, his eyes gleaming.

After giving Kongchan a few final instructions, he calmly walked inside.

Upon entering, one is immediately enveloped by an incredibly rich spiritual energy, which also exudes a great deal of spiritual power.

Looking out, the ocean is calm and the mountains stand tall, a scene of tranquility and seclusion, a true paradise on earth.

Several blurry scenes appeared familiar to Luo Chen.

Ice Extreme Sect, Spirit Mountain!
Rotten Axe Mountain Range!

Two names popped up, and then Luo Chen's gaze shifted downwards, where he saw an old man rowing a boat on the calm sea, giving him a kind smile.

"You dare to enter my Mountain and Sea Seal? It seems you have indeed attained the Dao and transformed into a Divine Being. Congratulations!"

really!

Luo Chen's guess was confirmed. This world was a world of its own, seemingly at the edge of the sky, but in fact it was in another space.

Within the other party's Mountain and Sea Seal.

The Yuan Tu Sword within his body trembled slightly, showing a hint of restlessness, clearly indicating that it did not like this environment.

Luo Chen suppressed the restlessness of the spiritual treasure and gracefully landed on the small boat.

"Please!" Li Canghai extended his hand in invitation.

Luo Chen sat down gracefully.

As the waves parted, a graceful figure emerged from the sea, holding a silver bottle, and poured wine for the two of them.

As the hops burst open, smiles bloomed on their faces.

Luo Chen withdrew his gaze from the woman who resembled a mermaid and looked at Li Canghai. "You old man are truly living a carefree life. The outside world is full of turmoil, but you are hiding here in the mountains and seas, enjoying yourself immensely."

Li Canghai raised his wine glass, took a small sip, and then exhaled a breath of wine.

"Hmph... What do the disturbances of the outside world have to do with me? Isn't the purpose of our cultivation to seek longevity and freedom?"

Luo Chen nodded in agreement, but then added with some reservations, "Wouldn't it be better to at least have some peace and quiet in front of my house?"

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, the so-called "home front" is not just the small area at the edge of the sky, but refers to the vast cultivation world of the North Sea.

The cultivation world in Beihai is indeed too chaotic these days.

Because of the rampant demons, because of the unbridled evil spirits.

Li Canghai frowned slightly and began to scrutinize Luo Chen closely.

Opposite him, the man still looked excessively young, and his years of cultivation were equally excessively young.

Sitting there now, I am like a pine tree, like a mountain, majestic and imposing.

Beneath her calm, serene face, however, lies a volcanic, fiery energy.

Such a unique temperament, so subtle and unassuming, makes it impossible to discern the other person's true level of attainment.

You must know, this is inside the Spirit Treasure Mountain and Sea Seal that he meticulously crafted!

Li Canghai couldn't quite see through Luo Chen's strength.

Is this still the performance of someone who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm?

Li Canghai said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, is this a case of 'cultivating one's own virtue when poor, and helping the world when successful'? Now that you've just achieved the Nascent Soul stage, do you already intend to make some big moves?"

"We won't make any big moves, but we can't let those two powerful demon clan members run rampant!" Luo Chen raised his wine cup, sniffed it, and then drank it down in one gulp. "Good wine!"

Li Canghai remained silent for a moment before smiling bitterly and saying, "It seems you still harbor resentment about the fact that the Sea Emperor Whale and the Great Sage of Beili almost attacked you back then!"

Luo Chen neither confirmed nor denied it.

If it weren't for Qing Shuang standing by her side back then, and Li Canghai mediating, she might have been the one who benefited from the situation.

Li Canghai shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, you have just achieved the Nascent Soul stage. Instead of consolidating your realm, you are about to launch a major attack. Aren't you afraid of damaging your cultivation?"

"Stable Realm?"

Luo Chen murmured a sentence, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The divine thought slowly spread out.

Li Canghai realized something and also released his divine sense.

The instant their divine senses collided, illusory images of their primordial spirits appeared behind each of them, while within the Mountain and Sea Imprint, towering waves surged, and the mountains trembled. (End of Chapter)
