Longevity begins with alchemy master

The newcomer was dressed in a green robe, and his exposed face was covered with green scales, making him appear even more sinister and chilling.

The snake's tongue flicked out as it spoke, sending chills down one's spine.

However, compared to Luo Chen and Yuan Qingzang, they seemed rather inadequate.

Yuan Qingzang said casually, "Green Robe, how come you're in charge? Where's that old fellow Beifeng?"

The man called Green Robe narrowed his eyes as he swept over the two men, and said in a cold voice, "Yuan Qingzang, my ancestor left a hundred years ago at the invitation of Lord Wuyou. My clan is currently in seclusion. Do you intend to take advantage of our misfortune?"

An invitation from the Lord of the Worry-Free Realm?
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen looked thoughtful.

It seems that Lord Wuyou is truly well-prepared for this exploration of the ancient god's dojo!
Not only did they take Mu Bugui away, but they also invited Yuan Qingzang earlier, and now even the ancestor of the Abyss of Sorrow, Beifeng, has gone with them.

Does this mean that top experts from other forces within the Ruins of Return were also invited?
Beside him, Yuan Qingzang snorted angrily.

"Why are you putting it so harshly? I'm just visiting an old friend. And even if I were to take advantage of your misfortune, so what? Green Robe, you're just a newly promoted Martial Immortal. Do you really think you can stop me?"

"Then you can give it a try!"

The man in the green robe remained dignified and fearless.

As he spoke, he exuded a chilling aura.

Behind him, tens of thousands of warriors sat down cross-legged, and streams of qi emerged, eventually converging on the green-robed man.

A complex and powerful aura rose from the green-robed man's body and then plunged into the abyss that resembled gaping maws.

In an instant, the area within a hundred miles became a dangerous place.

One after another, mysterious forces, accompanied by the qi, spewed out from the abyss, lurking menacingly on the sidelines.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qingzang's expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed.

"The Old Man of Sorrowful Wind has even taught you this move?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Yuan Qingzang.

The other party didn't hide anything and explained, "This move is somewhat similar to my 'Raging Torrent Annihilation' technique. It can draw on the strange power in the abyss for one's own use, achieving a hundredfold amplification of its power."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen understood.

In fact, he also saw some clues. These tricks all rely on the advantage of the terrain and enhance one's own abilities.

With the advantage of terrain, Yuan Qingzang, a late-stage Human Immortal, could challenge a powerhouse in the Annihilation Realm, while at this moment, Green Robe, an early-stage Human Immortal, is an opponent who can threaten a late-stage Human Immortal.

Yuan Qingzang was not confident in defeating his opponent, so he showed a look of apprehension.

The moment Luo Chen spoke, the green-robed man opposite him focused his attention on him.

In his eyes, the two people traveling with him were not led by Yuan Qingzang, the renowned master of the Azure Sky Tower Forest, but rather by this young man in white.

Within the Ruins of Guixu, the strong reign supreme!
The fact that Luo Chen held a primary and secondary position clearly demonstrates that his strength was above that of Yuan Qingzang.

If it were just one person, he would be somewhat confident, but if two people attacked together... Therefore, at this moment he could only hold onto his killing move, holding it back.

The man in green robes said coldly, "Sir, please don't make a mistake!"

Luo Chen smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, why don't you let me, Luo, do it?"

Yuan Qingzang recalled the move Luo Chen had used against him back then, and nodded with a hint of curiosity.

"please!"

Luo Chen took a step forward and stood in front.

Facing tens of thousands of warriors alone, his aura suddenly changed as his body overflowed with qi.

It transformed from that lawless, selfless, and arrogant aura into a different kind of majestic, awe-inspiring, and unassailable aura.

There's even a sense of awe-inspiring divine might about to descend.

This scene caused Yuan Qingzang's expression to change slightly.

"This is……"

scoff!

A wisp of electricity flashed suddenly.

Then, endless thunder roared forth.

In an instant, Luo Chen became a figure like a god among thunderbolts.

"Thunderous Qi, Raging Torrent Annihilation!" Yuan Qingzang muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

As he muttered to himself, Luo Chen had already made his move.

A deafening thunderstorm, like a vast ocean pouring out, rushed straight at the green-robed boy.

The other party looked at Yuan Qingzang with suspicion before finally gritting his teeth and making his move.

"You've gone too far!"

With a roar, countless strange gusts of air shot into the sky.

boom!
boom!
boom!
In an instant, the thunderstorm and the air mass collided, shaking the surrounding area and causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

On the earth, cracks appeared, and more abysses opened their mouths, spewing out even more gas.

Luo Chen stood against the wind, watching this scene indifferently, unmoved.

He simply kept urging on the endless Blood Refining Divine Qi and the Soul-Sweeping Divine Thunder he had previously drawn from the Chaos Thunder Pool.

Even with the blessing of his martial arts divine will, his qi reacted with the divine thunder, producing a series of thunderous sounds that shook the mind.

It was the soul-stirring thunderous sound!

Rumble!
The stalemate lasted only a moment.

With a scream, Green Robe finally collapsed, covered in blood, onto the ground.

The tens of thousands of Yuanmin warriors who provided him with strength also fell one by one.

Luo Chen landed gracefully.

The green-robed man's face was filled with hatred. "You just wait! When my ancestor returns, he will surely avenge the extermination of our clan!"

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Don't make it sound like we're locked in a life-or-death struggle. I only knocked them unconscious; I didn't kill them."

The man in the green robe was taken aback.

Before he could react, Luo Chen had already leaped over him and headed towards the Abyss of Sorrow.

"Please forgive me if I am rude in any way while visiting your territory."

Yuan Qingzang flew over, flapping his lightning wings, and pouted with curiosity.

"This is also my first time venturing into the Abyss of Sorrow. I'd like to see what kind of environment that old fellow, Sorrowful Wind, cultivates in."

The two, one after the other, eventually disappeared into the abyss.

The man in the green robe opened his mouth, looking completely bewildered.

If that's all it's for, then what does it mean to fight this battle and suffer such serious injuries?
……

Entering the Abyss of Sorrow, the light flickered and the environment was dark and damp.

Occasionally, half-human, half-snake creatures covered in green scales would wander between the cliffs, each gazing out as if facing a formidable enemy.

Luo Chen knew that those were the so-called "Yuanmin," all of whom were descendants of the Old Man of Sorrowful Wind.

According to Yuan Qingzang, the Old Man of Sorrowful Wind may actually be a great snake demon, and these Yuan people are descendants of his mating with humans.

Its purpose, besides passing on the bloodline, is also to help him explore the Abyss of Sorrow.

It is somewhat similar to how the Lord of the Worry-Free Realm controls the seventy-two cities of the Great Destruction Realm and selects high-level martial artists to cultivate in the ninth ring of Destruction.

Luo Chen concealed his aura and continued downwards.

Yuan Qingcang caught up and looked at Luo Chen's profile, appearing hesitant to speak.

Luo Chen vaguely knew what the other party wanted to ask, but still asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you have any guidance?"

"I dare not presume to offer guidance." Yuan Qingcang sighed and said softly, "Was that move of yours earlier the same as the 'Raging Torrent Annihilation Realm' that I had been holding back?"

Luo Chen didn't hide anything and said frankly, "That's right!"

Yuan Qingzang's suspicions were confirmed, and his doubts were dispelled, but he was even more amazed.

"I don't recall ever teaching you this move. We were just discussing cultivation techniques and martial arts philosophies."

Luo Chen laughed and said, "Before entering the Ruins of Return, I was a high-level cultivator who had already mastered domain-related techniques. Your move, or even the previous Thunderous Wilderness and Raging Thunder Waves, can all be considered domain-type killing moves. These techniques themselves are not particularly sophisticated; as long as you master the basic skills and the relevant activation energy, you can reproduce them."

Yuan Qingzang opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent. Luo Chen was right; those methods and killing moves were actually things he had figured out while constantly facing the power of thunder in the Sky Tower Forest.

Although its power is great, it relies more on the surrounding environment.

Once you leave the Sky Tower Forest, its power will be greatly reduced.

On the contrary, Luo Chen absorbed the entire Chaos Thunder Pool, which is equivalent to a walking Thunder Pool in a different way. His technique is even more powerful than Luo Chen's.

In silence, Yuan Qingzang remained somewhat unconvinced.

"In fact, Yuan also possesses his own unique individual supernatural power."

"Oh? I'd like to see it sometime then." Luo Chen chuckled, his movements quickening. "As for now, exploring the Abyss of Sorrow is the priority!"

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the depths of the Abyss of Sorrow.

……

An endless abyss, where sorrow never ceases.

This is how the Abyss of Weeping got its name.

The deeper you go, the more eerie sounds come from within, as if the cries of living beings are heard.

The two figures kept moving back and forth, and it was unknown how much time had passed or how many feet they had gone underground.

All that is known is that in the dark and gloomy environment, the mysterious air masses around them are surging more and more.

The mass of energy contained a complex power, resembling the Five Elements, yet not falling within them.

Once a martial artist's internal energy comes into contact with it, they will inexplicably lose control.

The deeper one goes into the Qingzang region, the greater the pressure one feels.

On the contrary, Luo Chen felt a growing sense of familiarity the further he went.

"This power..."

Suddenly, the dormant Hunyuan Cauldron within his body seemed to sense something and emitted a slight tremor.

"Luo Chen, I can't go on any longer!"

Behind him came Yuan Qingzang's voice.

Luo Chen stopped and looked back.

However, Yuan Qingcang's face showed a troubled expression, and lightning crackled around his body, as if his vital energy was being pulled outwards.

Luo Chen's gaze swept across his surroundings, lost in thought.

"Very well, Fellow Daoist Yuan, please wait for me outside. I'll be right back."

"Okay, best of luck."

Yuan Qingzang offered his blessing and then hurriedly left.

He only felt relieved after he had completely left the abyss.

The strange force that pulled him from all directions finally disappeared.

Yuan Qingcang exhaled a breath of turbid air and muttered to himself, "Such a dangerous place, I'm afraid I'll explode if I go any deeper. Who exactly said there's a way out of Guixu from here?"

"That's why my ancestor was forced to seek another way and follow the Lord of the Worry-Free Realm!"

Yuan Qingzang turned his head and saw the green-robed man standing on a protruding cliff rock, looking at him coldly.

Yuan Qingzang chuckled, "Why didn't you go with them?"

The green-robed man snorted coldly, offering no explanation, and simply gazed at the path the other had come from.

"And the other one?"

……

"really!"

When Luo Chen's feet touched the ground, he understood where that sense of familiarity came from.

Luo Chen's gaze fell on the gray-white stones on the ground, and he blurted out.

"Earth's magnetic field!"

He voluntarily released his Blood Refining Divine Qi.

Suddenly, a strange force emanated from the ground, beginning to pull and draw away Luo Chen's qi.

In a very short moment, the Blood Refining Divine Qi released by Luo Chen was disintegrated and separated!
It should be noted that Luo Chen's Blood Refined Divine Qi was formed by the fusion of the Nine Tribulations Earthly Fiend and the Unforgivable Heavenly Wind, with his own pure source blood as a catalyst.

Apart from the chaotic aura of the Turbid World Martial Sect back then, there has been almost nothing that can disintegrate the Blood Refining Divine Aura.

Even Yuan Qingzang's Thunderous Qi couldn't do that!

But the power naturally emanating from these ley lines can achieve this.

There is only one special thing in the whole world that has this effect.

That is the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light!
No, mere primordial magnetic divine light is not enough; only primordial magnetic divine power refined to its extreme can reach such a level.

Looking around, Luo Chen saw that in the pitch-black environment, the abyss stretched endlessly, cutting through the entire land.

It's hard to imagine just how vast this ley line's magnetic field must be to be able to condense such terrifying magnetic divine power.

Even more unimaginable is that the old man of the Sorrowful Wind was able to refine this power for his own use!

While amazed, Luo Chen also felt regret.

The reason for this regret is not complicated.

Where there is ley line magnetic field, the world's barriers are often the most solid and cannot be broken by ordinary means.

That's why the Yuanmo Sect of the Mountain and Sea Realm built its mountain gate in the Arctic Night Demon Heaven, because there was a Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain there, which could serve as an impenetrable barrier.

Falling to this point means that this earth vein magnetic field, which spans an unknown area, has no way of leaving the Ruins.

Outsiders believe there is an exit here, but it is only because the magnetic divine power attracts and disintegrates everything that they make the wrong judgment.

Luo Chen sighed and prepared to leave.

After all, staying here for too long, even his powerful spiritual body was showing signs of being unable to withstand it.

If the acupoints are opened wide, all the vital energy will be pulled out, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.

But just as he was about to leave, Luo Chen suddenly had a thought.

"The reason why the Hunyuan Cauldron sensed something earlier is because I fused a Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain into it before my ascension."

"In other words, I can actually manipulate simple magnetic divine power."

"If we activate the Primordial Cauldron to absorb the primordial magnetic power of this place..."

Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and his excitement immediately turned into action!
After looking around and making sure no one was watching, he summoned the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Boom!
The small cauldron landed and grew taller in the wind, eventually becoming over ten feet in length.

It is not large in size, but it is as heavy as a mountain!

The surrounding magnetic divine power surged forth, attempting to dismantle the Hunyuan Cauldron, but it could not be shaken in the slightest.

Of course, it would be difficult for the Hunyuan Cauldron to absorb the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power, simply because the Yuan Magnetic field of the surrounding earth veins was too vast, and forcibly absorbing it would be tantamount to a huge unequal struggle.

But Luo Chen had another plan!
He floated up into the air, sitting cross-legged.

His body swirled with energy, and lightning blazed brightly on his back, enveloping the surrounding area.

Then he carefully made a hand seal.

"wake up!"

In an instant, golden waves rippled within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The main soul, dormant for hundreds of years, slowly awakens.

During this process, Luo Chen moved extremely slowly, constantly paying attention to the outside world.

After a long while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected, with the Soul-Shattering Divine Thunder as a cover, the unique Soul-Shattering Thunder Sound of the Ruins was not attracted."

He then released a divine thought and began to drive the Hunyuan Cauldron to actively absorb the nearby primordial magnetic divine power.

In an instant, the earth's veins surged, accompanied by mournful cries. (End of Chapter)
