Longevity begins with alchemy master

Inside the Heavenly Palace.

In the center of the main hall, the deep pool of black water reappeared once again after the array was activated.

Luo Chen, clad in black armor, stood solemnly beside the deep pool, casting spells into the black water.

Gradually, the deep black pool began to boil.

Gudong!Gudong!
Amidst the rolling waves, a large amount of water gushed out.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen's expression relaxed.

"After two hundred years, with the help of array formations, the Mingshui Spring has finally been formed again in this Tianming Palace."

"This is the root of the Netherworld Abyss!"

Where in the deepest abyss is there no bounds of water? Where is there no root?

But the only true source of this rootless water is the Mingshui Spring.

The reason why the Mingyuan Sect's mountain gate was swallowed by the abyss was because Qixia Yuanjun broke the Mingshui Spring in order to rescue Qinghe Xian, which caused the Netherworld Abyss to become uncontrollable. Subsequently, the Tianyuan Ancestor used the Jade and Stone Destruction Technique, leading to the current situation.

Therefore, among the countless ghost cultivators in the Netherworld Abyss, there has always been a saying: "Whoever controls the Netherworld Spring can become the Lord of the Netherworld Abyss!"

However, Luo Chen believes that this statement contains some misconceptions.

The Lord of the Netherworld Abyss must have mastered the Netherworld Spring, but the one who controls the spring is not necessarily the Lord of the Abyss, because there is a prerequisite: he must be a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he must be a Nascent Soul cultivator who has comprehended the origin of water!

Otherwise, even the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, wielding the Netherworld Spring, would not be able to control the entire Netherworld Abyss.

Take Luo Chen for example!
He was already quite strong, once comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator while still possessing the power of a Divine Transformation expert, and he had also comprehended the true meaning of the Law of Water.

However, even though he held the source of the Netherworld Spring in his hands, he still could not control the Abyss of the Underworld.

But now, things are completely different.

Luo Chen not only comprehended the essence of water and became a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he also witnessed the first Demon-Demon Heart Fruit ripen!

Ten years in the outside world, a thousand years in the grotto.

Nourished by the heart of a fifth-tier wild beast, the first Heart-to-Heart Fruit ripened and fell.

Luo Chen consumed it and, in the ninth year, in the deserted Dan Sheng Blessed Land, quietly broke through to the fifth level of the Desolate Ancient Realm.

He became the first human in the entire history of the Mountain and Sea Realm to possess the physique of a wild beast!

"With my current strength—at the fifth level of both Qi Refining and Body Refining, with an incredibly profound spiritual foundation, and having mastered the true meaning of the Four Great Laws—I am powerful enough to create another world all by myself!"

As he murmured, Luo Chen closed his eyes.

His divine sense spread outwards from Yanfu Mountain.

Hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, until the place is beyond reach.

The vast Netherworld Abyss, where countless ghost cultivators lurked, was now completely exposed to Luo Chen's divine sense, as if they were wearing nothing at all.

One of the little devils sensed something was wrong and his expression changed drastically.

"Damn it, a powerful divine sense!"

Without hesitation, it fled into the deeper abyss.

Its speed far surpasses that of a fourth-tier Ghost Emperor.

However, it was fast, but Luo Chen's divine sense was even faster, and the天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) he controlled was even faster!
Based on the true meaning of the Four Great Laws, it leveraged the immeasurable primordial energy of heaven and earth many times over, instantly enveloping the entire Netherworld Abyss.

this moment!
Luo Chen became the sole ruler of the endless abyss!

All living beings heard only a low shout.

"rise!"

The next moment, something terrible happened.

The vast ocean waters spread in all directions, forming towering waves thousands of feet high.

In the central region, a vast continent, spanning 100,000 li in circumference, gradually revealed its true form.

This continent is barren, devoid of any verdant greenery.

All that remained were decaying bricks and stones, crumbling buildings, and the devastation left by the great war.

This is the very place where the Mingyuan Mountain Gate once stood!
Its area is as large as four or five Jade Cauldron Domains, even after it was partially corroded by the Abyss after the great battle.

This continent is the future mountain gate of Luo Tian Sect, which is Luo Chen's favorite place.

The Mingyuan Sect is gone, but the land remains, and the spiritual veins and caves within it far surpass any other place in the Eastern Wilderness.

As the foremost holy land of the Eastern Wilderness Continent, the Mingyuan Sect naturally occupies the most precious and essential location.

This place will become the eternal foundation of the Luo Tian Sect in the future!

After the giant waves parted, the land submerged in the abyss began to tremble.

The earth trembled, and the mountains bowed.

The vast land rises ever higher.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would understand what Luo Chen was doing.

He wants the abyss to sink, and he wants the world to rise again!
Such extraordinary supernatural powers, almost like the creation of heaven and earth, exist only in legends and are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even the most powerful individuals can only dream of it.

The power of a Nascent Soul cultivator truly possesses terrifying destructive power, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas, shattering mountains and sinking land.

But destruction is easy, creation is difficult.

Don't you remember how back then, when Ancestor Liancheng only wanted to reunite the Central Plains, he required the entire Tianyuan Dao Sect to cooperate?

But now Luo Chen is doing it all by himself!
The difficulty involved is self-evident.

However, in front of Deng Taiyue, who witnessed it firsthand, he saw things progressing step by step in the direction Luo Chen had envisioned.

He manipulated a vast amount of primordial energy, pushing aside the abyss and lifting up the continent.

The formations previously set up by the Luo Tian Sect members on the continent stabilized this land, preventing it from collapsing during the process.

Deng Taiyue's only concern was this space.

After observing carefully for a while, although there were apocalyptic scenes of gathering ominous clouds and thunder and lightning, no spatial rifts were seen.

"Was this within his expectations?"

Over the centuries, the space above the Mingyuan Sect has finally been repaired by the power of the world and is approaching stability.

Therefore, even though Luo Chen did this heaven-defying thing, no spatial rift that could tear everything apart still appeared.

"Then, all we need to do next is guard against the backlash from the Netherworld Abyss."

Deng Taiyue turned around and looked beyond the world.

The towering waves, piled up like a thousand-foot mountain, still hung above the continent.

……

at the same time.

Upon arriving at Shangyou City, all the high-ranking cultivators of the Luotian Sect flew out together, gazing at the endless Netherworld Abyss.

Led by Kong Chan, the four great spirits, together with the Luo Tian Sect's mountain-protecting formation, guarded the shore of the Mingyuan Abyss with impenetrable defenses.

But those towering waves, like towering city walls, carrying endless water, always gave people a feeling of trepidation.

If these giant waves were to crash down, how many of the local cultivators in the entire Luo Tian Sect would be able to survive?

What kind of immense pressure will Elder Luo Chen, who is at the very center, have to endure next?

The world is unaware of this.

All they could see were giant waves, pushed aside by individual power, roaring and crashing angrily towards the central area.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

The previously ferocious giant waves suddenly became docile after crashing down.

Giant waves gently flowed into a massive whirlpool without creating any earth-shattering commotion.

This process lasted for a long time.

When all the giant waves dissipated, the entire Netherworld Abyss seemed to shrink by a hundred feet.

That boundless ocean water has vanished to who knows where.

And then a majestic continent appeared before everyone's eyes.

Suddenly!
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the universe. To everyone's astonishment, a colossal figure, thousands of feet tall, stood majestically, roaring at the sun and moon.

It has three heads and six arms, and its temperament is quite unique.

Clouds and smoke filled the air, and black armor covered their bodies.

The exposed skin was bronze in color, covered with lines that resembled branches or demonic scales.

The giant embraced and lifted the air, and a mountain was pulled out of the ground.

Holding up a mountain, the giant soared into the sky.

The surrounding clouds and mist swept upwards, forming a thick layer of clouds around the foot of the mountain.

When everything is over, the high mountains hang in the clouds, and the mainland is submerged in the abyss.

This place has been completely transformed!
The group exchanged bewildered glances, then without hesitation transformed into streaks of light, flying like mayflies towards the celestial mountain amidst the clouds.

……

On Mount Yanfu.

Deng Taiyue looked at Luo Chen as he gracefully descended, his expression complex, which eventually turned into deep respect.

He bowed with his hands clasped and offered words of congratulations.

"Congratulations, senior, on creating another divine wilderness and laying the foundation for the eternal Luo Tian!"

Luo Chen smiled nonchalantly and strode towards the Heavenly Nether Palace.

"It was just as expected. The foundation of everything depends on how future generations develop it. That's all I can do."

He spoke lightly, but his steps conveyed an overwhelming sense of heaviness.

Deng Taiyue looked at Luo Chen's back. Although the other party had just uprooted a celestial mountain, for some reason he felt another great mountain on Luo Chen.

Deng Taiyue seemed to be deep in thought.

Is this the consequence of Luo Chen unleashing all his power to manipulate the endless天地元气 (heaven and earth energy)?

Those methods, which were almost as powerful as heaven and earth, were clearly a blatant attempt to seize power from the Heavenly Dao of this realm.

In his current state, Luo Chen's every move is being watched by this world, and thick shackles have already enveloped him.

……

Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Nether Palace, Luo Chen sat on the chair above, closing his eyes to rest.

He is feeling.

Feel everything inside and outside yourself.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.

"Is this the shackles of heaven and earth that Li Canghai spoke of?"

"It's so heavy!"

"If I continue to act recklessly, I'm afraid I'll not only deplete my magic power, but also my lifespan. Moreover, the difficulty of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during daily cultivation will greatly increase, let alone comprehend the true meaning of the laws."

"It seems that it is indeed time to leave."

With a sigh, Luo Chen opened his eyes.

Just then, streaks of light flew in.

In no time, the hall was filled with people.

One by one, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Luo Tian Sect looked at Luo Chen with excited and admiring eyes.

Before they could speak, Luo Chen reached out and pressed down in the air, his gaze falling on the middle-aged man at the head of the group.

"Lingxi!"

Luo Lingxi stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "Father, I'm here!"

Luo Chen said with a slightly tired expression, "Do me a favor, perhaps the last thing."

Luo Lingxi was taken aback, and the others were also stunned.

"Ten years from now, I will ascend to immortality. You will be responsible for organizing an ascension ceremony for me, and inviting the top experts from all the sects in the Eastern Wilderness to attend."

Upon hearing this, Luo Lingxi looked completely bewildered.

At most, Luo Chen, the father, was only a little over five hundred years old, which was considered young even among those in the Nascent Soul stage, let alone the Transformation God realm, whose lifespan was typically as long as two thousand years.

According to legend, most of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm ascended to heaven at a leisurely age of over a thousand.

Those who ascend to immortality at the age of only six hundred, like the demoness Qing Shuang, are extremely rare and can be considered exceptional.

Is his own father, Luo Tian Lao Zu, about to set a new historical record by ascending to heaven at the age of five hundred?
He hesitated and said, "Father, isn't this too hasty?"

Luo Chen rubbed his temples. "Just do as I say. As for how to revitalize the Mingyuan Ruins, that's up to the sect disciples. You can handle it yourselves!"

After saying that, he calmly got up and left the Tianming Palace.

Inside the hall, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Luo Tian Sect, who had been extremely excited by Luo Chen's previous achievement, were now completely overwhelmed by the shock of the news that Luo Chen was about to ascend to immortality.

Only Gu Caiyi knew some of the inside information.

She bit her lip and chased after Luo Chen in the direction he had left.

She had only taken two steps when she stopped and turned to look at another woman.

"Canglong, come along too!"

……

Luo Chen!

The Nascent Soul Ancestor, the Supreme Lord of Luo Tian, ​​truly the number one person in the Eastern Wilderness!
Ascension is imminent!

This news spread like wildfire, instantly igniting a frenzy throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness cultivation world.

Whether it was an ancient sect, a long-established power, or a rising force, everyone was shocked by this news.

How old is that person?!

The legendary experiences of Luo Chen are already etched in the hearts of every cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness, without even needing anyone to dig them out.

His age is naturally a topic of conversation.

At sixteen, one can attain enlightenment; at thirty, one can establish a foundation; at one hundred, one can form the core; and at two hundred, one can become an infant.

He achieved the status of a deity in less than five hundred years.

Now, before he can even fully enjoy the extreme honor of being at the pinnacle of a realm, he is about to ascend to immortality.

Although it made history, it is still puzzling.

After this news spread, countless low-level cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world spread the word, all wanting to obtain a pass to go to the Luo Tian Sect to watch Luo Chen ascend to immortality.

Although that senior was decisive in killing, he was quite gentle in his dealings with lower-level cultivators, and always had the demeanor of a humble gentleman with high moral character and prestige.

If one can witness the ceremony in person, it will surely become an experience that one can talk about for a lifetime during one's spiritual practice.

However, among high-level cultivators, the reaction was quite different.

"Why did Luo Chen insist that I attend the ceremony before his ascension?"

This question lingered in the minds of all the top experts in the Eastern Wilderness.

The current situation in the Eastern Wilderness is one superpower and many strong powers.

In terms of strength, it completely surpasses the other four continents of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Because apart from the super power Cairo Heavenly Sect, there are many people in other major powerful sects who have comprehended the true meaning of the laws!
The root cause of this situation lies in the batch of Enlightenment Pills that Luo Chen sent out back then.

Although the effects of the Enlightenment Pill are not as good as the Heavenly Mystery Pill refined by the Pill Saint, let alone the Evolutionary Law Pill, the sheer number of Nascent Soul cultivators still allowed a number of talented and gifted individuals to successfully comprehend the true meaning of the laws unique to them!
After comprehending the true meaning of the laws, they not only possess combat power far exceeding that of their peers, but also have the qualifications to strive for the Nascent Soul realm in the future!
In other words, this group of people are all potential cultivators!

It is conceivable that if Luo Chen were to ascend to immortality, and no one were to restrain the cultivation world of the Eastern Wilderness, then this group of people would inevitably engage in a frenzied struggle for the fifth-order spiritual vein in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

If someone really breaks through to that level, the power structure of the Eastern Wilderness will change again.

If the Luo Tian Sect does not produce a second Nascent Soul cultivator, will it be able to maintain its transcendent status?
Given this foreseeable future, it would have been better if Luo Chen hadn't ascended; instead, he chose to ascend and leave this world.

Moreover, before leaving this realm, he specially invited all the powerful figures to attend the ceremony.

The purpose behind this is something that makes one think deeply.

Is it a warning before departure, suppression, or a ruthless measure to eliminate future troubles?

For a time, low-level cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness flocked to the Luo Tian Sect, while high-level cultivators hesitated, unsure of what to do. (End of Chapter)
