Longevity begins with alchemy master

The Demon City of the Raging Sea!

Once a gateway to the Demonic Sect, now teeming with demonic energy.

Tens of thousands of low-level demonic beasts are stationed there, strictly guarding against any outsiders from spying on them.

But even the tightest defenses cannot stop internal sabotage.

This day.

A streak of light came from afar.

The third-tier demon kings who remained here all stepped forward to greet them.

"Lord Kongzen!"

"Amitabha!" Kong Chan chanted a Buddhist prayer, then his gaze swept over the crowd, issuing a command that caught everyone off guard: "Everyone evacuate Taohai City without fail!"

The demon king who remained behind was taken aback, "But..."

Kong Chan frowned. "Do you intend to disobey orders?"

The demon kings looked at each other, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Kong Chan suppressed his impatience, knowing that his actions had been observed by his master.

"You have three days to lead all low-level demonic beasts out of Taohai City, or you will face the consequences!"

This time, no one dared to question it; everyone agreed.

Kong Chan ignored the details of their retreat and went back to his previous residence.

Inside the Buddhist hall, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at a screen of light in front of him.

The lines on the light screen intertwine, mysterious and enigmatic.

Kong Chan glanced at the light screen, then cupped his hands and said, "Master, the evacuation order has been issued. The city will be empty in three days."

Luo Chen simply hummed in agreement, his attention still focused on the light screen.

Kong Chan couldn't help but ask, "Master, you passed through the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array freely before, so why are you studying it so carefully now?"

Without turning his head, Luo Chen said, "This formation was set up by Li Canghai. It connects the mountain and sea veins and is blessed by the creation of heaven and earth. Even though it was damaged by the energy of the Submerged Sea that was guided here back then, it has gradually recovered under the power of time. The reason I was able to pass through before was only because of the passage token given to me by Li Canghai. But this time, what I am going to do will completely shake this great formation. When the sky collapses and the earth cracks, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Kong Chan seemed to be deep in thought. Was this why Luo Chen had him order all the demons in this area to retreat?
Fortunately, news of his submission to Luo Chen's command had not yet spread, and the order still carried considerable weight; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to get those low-level demonic beasts to leave.

But the fact that Luo Chen had mentioned shaking the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array piqued his curiosity.

What kind of major event could completely shake the Arctic Demon Sealing Formation, which even a group of transformed demons and ancient demons were helpless against back then?
Luo Chen did not explain, his gaze still lingering on the light screen.

Based on his current understanding, this great formation with its power reaching to the heavens and the earth is not simply a matter of sealing demons.

It also contains the power to nurture the earth's energy and draw upon the vital energy of heaven and earth!

The initial breach was caused by the channeling of the power of the Sea of ​​Despair, which temporarily disrupted the balance and created the gap.

However, its self-repairing ability still exists, so after three hundred years, it gradually recovered to its original state.

However, the key to this ability lies in nurturing the earth's energy!
Luo Chen's thoughts raced, and he made many connections.

Given Li Canghai's personality, it's unlikely he intends to stand up for the cultivators of Beihai.

The grand formation he set up was clearly not just intended to seal away a group of powerful demons.

Its purpose should be to repair the fifth-order spiritual vein of the Arctic Night Demon Heaven, so as to find a good place for him to cultivate in the future.

However, after Li Canghai successfully took over the Lankeshan Mountain Range in Zhongzhou with Luo Chen's help, this plan became dispensable.

Compared to the ruins of Yemotian, which still needs time to recover, the Lankeshan Mountains are among the best fifth-order spiritual veins in the world, brimming with spiritual energy and flowing with spiritual power, far surpassing Yemotian.

Luo Chen felt this deeply after personally entering the Mountain and Sea Seal.

"Therefore, my next move should not affect Li Canghai."

Luo Chen smiled slightly and reached out to wipe away the light screen.

He had memorized the entire outline of the formation.

With the pass given to him by Li Canghai, he was now somewhat confident about how to break the great formation.

At that time, there will be no more obstacles!

……

Three days later, the Demon City of the Raging Sea, filled with demonic energy, had become a ghost town.

All the low-level demonic beasts, led by the demon kings, withdrew from the great city.

However, the two figures went against the current and stepped into the demon-sealing formation.

Upon entering the formation, to Kong Chan's surprise, Luo Chen did not head straight for Ye Mo Tian, ​​but instead frequently wandered around within the formation.

Every now and then, they would also raise array flags.

Despite his less-than-stellar knowledge of array formations, Kong Chan was able to detect some clues from these unusual actions.

"Is Master blocking the array's core and cutting off the flow of spiritual energy?"

Is he trying to break the formation?

"But if we're going to break the formation, why not just destroy the formation's core?"

His mind was full of doubts, but Luo Chen didn't explain the details to him. Instead, he took out more array-setting tools and asked Kong Chan to help him with the work.

After three full months, the two finally traversed the entire formation and arrived at the front of Yuanci Mountain.

Looking at the radiant beasts chasing the light that had accumulated on Yuanci Mountain, Kong Chan felt a surge of emotion.

The Yuanmo Sect, once backed by the millennium-old Sea of ​​Demise and with the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light capable of suppressing the five elements, was arguably the most fortified stronghold.

Unexpectedly, it became the first of the five holy lands to perish.

"Master, these Radiant Beasts are few in number and not a threat. Let's go straight in!"

however.

Luo Chen stopped in front of Yuanci Mountain, his gaze focused.

"No, I'll stay here!"

"Huh?" Kong Chan asked, puzzled.

Luo Chen smiled and pointed to the mountain in front of him that emitted a hazy gray light, saying, "My target has never been Yama Heaven, but this mountain!"

Kong Chan subconsciously opened his mouth wide.

After realizing what was happening, he said worriedly, "Mount Yuan Magnetic is entirely formed from Yuan Magnetic mineral veins, and its naturally emitted Yuan Magnetic Divine Light can suppress all the five elements in the world. Although its power is boundless, no one in the world has ever been able to master such power. Even the Yuan Demon Sect only uses it as a barrier. Legend has it that only a Nascent Soul cultivator with five spiritual roots can use the power of mutual generation of the five elements to counteract the mutual restraint of the five elements. But the aptitude for five spiritual roots is beyond even reaching the Nascent Soul stage, let alone the Nascent Soul stage..."

His words abruptly stopped.

This was because Luo Chen's body began to shimmer with various kinds of magical power.

The most powerful of all is fire-attribute magic.

Then came the dual attributes of water and wood, and then even the earth attribute magic appeared.

The final metal-elemental magic power condensed quite slowly, as if Luo Chen were transforming it little by little using powerful methods, which seemed rather strenuous.

Even so, Kong Chan's eyes widened in disbelief!

The power of the Five Elements!

Five Elements Spiritual Roots!

This master of theirs is actually a powerful cultivator with five spiritual roots, a rare sight in the Mountain and Sea Realm, appearing only once every ten million years.
At this moment, Luo Chen's attention was focused on himself.

really!

After comprehending the power of the four laws within the Five Elements, the Five Elements Dao Body, in essence, was no longer suppressed and could begin to display its power.

Even though he still lacks the final metal elemental essence to fully unlock the Five Elements Dao Body, he can already smoothly transform metal-attribute magic power by leveraging the principle of mutual generation of the five elements.

In this way, the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light lost its restraint on him.

Then, what he had to do next was simple.

"Collect the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, reforge my natal magic weapon, and use the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light to restrain the power of the five elements in the world, thereby increasing the suppressive power of the Primordial Cauldron!"

This is Luo Chen's ultimate goal for this trip!
The wondrous uses of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light are known to all.

Even when Luo Chen was still in the Qi Refining stage, he had seen a bit of it in a small Yuan Magnetic Valley in the Ancient Yuan Mountains.

The power of the Yuan Magnetic Mountain in front of the Yuan Demon Sect's mountain gate is more than a thousand times that of the small Yuan Magnetic Valley.

Unfortunately, for thousands of years, no one in the Demonic Sect has been able to control this mountain; it has been relegated to a high shelf, barely serving as a barrier. But Luo Chen is different. He possesses five spiritual roots, and his physique was once reshaped into a Five Spiritual Dao Body, so he is completely unaffected.

Moreover, the Primordial Magic Treasure, Hunyuan Cauldron, was originally crafted with a comprehensive approach in mind, incorporating a large amount of the five elements materials to perfectly bear the power of the Primordial Magnetic Force.

If this mountain could be forged into one's natal magic weapon, its suppressive power alone would be greatly enhanced, if nothing else is mentioned.

By then!

This treasure might come in handy in battles at the Nascent Soul stage.

Preparations are complete.

Needless to say!

Luo Chen immediately got to work!

With a spit, a beam of light flew out.

It grew larger as it faced the wind, and in an instant it transformed into a giant gray cauldron, hanging high above the divine mountain.

Luo Chen unleashed his magical power, transforming the five elements' magical power into five chains, each about a thousand feet long, binding Yuanci Mountain from all directions.

Then, he pointed to his chest.

Under Kong Chan's horrified gaze, Luo Chen's physical body swelled and grew larger wildly.

In the blink of an eye, a giant nearly a thousand feet tall stood between heaven and earth.

Among the demon race, there has always been a saying that strength is determined by size, which can also be understood as tonnage being equivalent to combat power!
As a great demon king in the late stage of transformation, Kong Chan's true form was already enormous.

However, compared to Luo Chen at this moment, he is still three points behind.

What this signifies is something Kong Chan understands all too well.

In the art of body refinement, Luo Chen is even more superior to the demon race by three points!
But this is not over yet!
Hot breath was exhaled from Luo Chen's nostrils, and his muscles trembled.

Two fleshy bulges appeared on the shoulders and neck, slowly revealing two heads that looked the same but had different temperaments.

Between the waist and ribs, a hand the size of a millstone slowly split open the flesh and stretched out.

Upon seeing this, Kong Chan couldn't help but groan.

"Is this the true form of the legendary master?"

"Three heads and six arms, the formless demon!"

Luo Chen stood before the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, his eyes revealing an air of certainty.

next moment!
He clenched his fist and slammed it onto the hard ground.

A series of crimson source forces were added, spreading outwards in layers from the ground they struck, like waves.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Twelve consecutive strikes shook the earth and trembled the mountains.

The Arctic Demon-Sealing Array behind them seemed to be fluctuating, and the power of the array was about to spread. However, the array flags that had been placed at various array points earlier also came into play at this moment.

The flow of spiritual energy blocked the power of the demon-sealing formation.

Only then did Kong Chan understand the purpose behind Luo Chen's previous actions.

This Arctic Demon-Sealing Array not only drew upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but also once connected with the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, stealing its suppressing power.

That's why back then, they were able to cooperate with the Soul Refining Ancestor's grand formation to seal the allied forces of hundreds of millions of demons within the Night Sky.

But at this moment, the connection between the great formation and the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain has been severed by Luo Chen.

As the sacred mountain trembled.

Luo Chen seized the opportunity, extending all six arms to grab the mountainside.

The spiritual chains formed by the power of the five elements also bound the mountain tightly at this moment.

The three heads opened their mouths and exhaled.

"rise!"

Under the worshipful and awe-inspiring gaze of Kong Chan, the ancient Yuan Magnetic Mountain, which has been situated here for hundreds of millions of years, slowly rose from the ground amidst endless roars!

at the same time.

The gray cauldron that had been suspended in the sky began to release wisps of gray mist, which then spread across the ancient mountain.

Time passes little by little.

On Yuanci Mountain, a large amount of soil has peeled off and the mountain rocks have broken.

It reveals its most essential existence.

A large amount of primordial magnetic divine light also erupted, but it had little effect in front of the Primordial Cauldron.

This refining process lasted for nine days and nine nights.

When the sun rises on the tenth day.

The once magnificent Yuanci Mountain has disappeared, leaving only a round, gray cauldron that looks like it has eaten its fill, floating in the sky.

Luo Chen reached out and beckoned.

The large cauldron slowly shrank and landed in his palm.

"Um……"

As soon as the cauldron was in his hand, Luo Chen couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

His whole body sank, and he staggered a step.

weight!
My first impression is that it's heavy!
Subsequently, after the divine sense penetrated in, the second sensation was "stagnation".

His natal magic weapon, which he had always been able to control at will, now felt hazy to him, and was difficult to use as easily as before.

"It seems the path to smelting is still long!"

Luo Chen let out a long sigh of relief. His enormous body shrank rapidly, and his face showed no worry, but rather joy.

He already had a plan in mind for how to completely melt the Yuan Magnetic Mountain into the Hunyuan Cauldron.

The weapon-refining method that Li Canghai gave him was to play a significant role in the upcoming plan.

Although he could not, like Li Canghai, create a spiritual treasure, the Mountain and Sea Seal, from scratch.

However, the Hunyuan Cauldron itself has a remarkable foundation. As long as it is refined with suitable materials, it may be able to be upgraded to the level of a spiritual treasure in the future!
"Owner!"

Kong Chan cautiously approached.

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations on acquiring the sacred mountain!"

Luo Chen laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased with himself.

A protective shield of magical power was unleashed, enveloping Kong Chan within it.

Kong Chan does not understand.

But then he understood everything.

Behind them, the Arctic Demon-Sealing Array, having lost its most important array eye—the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain—began to collapse in an instant.

boom!
A deafening explosion was heard.

This great formation, which had existed for hundreds of years, collapsed and shattered.

A terrifying storm of energy swept out.

They charged into Night Sky on one side and into Ocean City on the other.

The ancient glacier collapsed layer by layer under this terrifying storm.

The once mighty city, built over a thousand years, was reduced to rubble as if it were made of paper.

Amidst the storm, a flying shuttle soared through the air, reaching the highest heavens.

"Master, are we going to the Flying Swallow Sea next?"

"Yes, before returning to the Eastern Wilderness, I need to see some old friends. It seems like it's about time."

The sounds of their question-and-answer dialogue gradually faded into the boundless storm.

This storm will continue for decades to come, and when it finally dissipates, the Yamo Heaven, which once existed only in the legends of the new generation of North Sea cultivators, will be wide open.

Those once-frozen ruins of the Yuanmo Sect will become treasure-hunting destinations for cultivators from the North Sea. (End of Chapter)
