Longevity begins with alchemy master

Wow!
A black mountain ridge, as if cut by a knife, stood obliquely on the ground. There was no wind or cloud, and the night was falling.

Only the huge waves as thick as city walls rolled in from afar, crashing into the cliffs and making a deafening sound.

After repeated impacts, the black cliff remained motionless.

The dim waves seemed to be unable to do anything to it, and after countless unsuccessful attacks, they gradually retreated.

As the sound of the tide gradually weakened like the breath of a trapped beast, a corner of the scenery at the bottom of the cliff gradually emerged.

The sand and gravel with smooth edges were spread on the shore like pearls, and the bones of unknown monsters were scattered all over the ground.

The sound of wind gradually rose, blowing a skull, rolling on the soft shore until it hit a charred corpse.

boom!
The originally charred corpse suddenly burst into a blue-white flame.

The skull, which was already full of cracks, was instantly turned into powder.

The bluish-white flame seemed to have no strength left and completely died down, dissipating into the corpse.

"Humph……"

A muffled groan suddenly sounded, and the corpse moved strangely!
He flipped his wrist, groped on the ground for a moment, and then exerted great effort to turn his body over.

Just this one flip seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Swish!
A pair of eyes suddenly opened, and everything in sight was pitch black, with no moon or stars.

"Where am I?"

Luo Chen moved his lips with difficulty, but could not say anything and could only mutter in his heart.

He tried to disperse his spiritual sense, but for some reason, once his spiritual sense left his body for about a hundred feet, it seemed to be greatly suppressed and could no longer explore further.

This kind of suppressive force is even greater than when the Yin-Yang Ruin Realm deployed the Yellow Wind Formation!
Unable to seek outside, Luo Chen could only look inward.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Luo Chen's heart couldn't help but sink.

Oops!

very bad!
It was even worse than when he left Southern Xinjiang!
The Nascent Soul was so weak that it couldn't even open its eyes, as if its body would fall apart if it moved.

There was no trace of magical power anywhere in his body, whether in the meridians or acupoints.

If it were just that it would be fine, but even the physical strength that he relied on the most was now almost gone.

The source of energy was exhausted, large areas of meridians were cracked, the extremely hard bones were even covered with cracks, and even the King of Poisons hidden in the stomach fell into a deep sleep.

And all this is due to the turbid yellow waves!
Luo Chen gradually recalled what happened at that time.

After he threw the slow-moving Black King out with force, the waves came too fast and swept him in immediately.

I thought I could burst out with all my strength and break away directly.

However, he did not expect that under the turbid yellow waves, the magic power would disappear for no reason, as if it was absorbed by the sea water.

As a last resort, Luo Chen frequently resorted to other means.

The holy fire of Nirvana burns everything, but it is like a drop in the bucket in the endless turbid yellow waves.

The sword energy was rising and falling, and the Yuantu sword was about to cut a bloody path, but after one slash, it seemed to fall into the air.

He wanted to cross the Yellow Sea with his physical body, but he was weak and had no power, and it was difficult to tell the direction.

However, the turbid yellow waves seemed to be able to dissolve everything and began to continuously erode Luo Chen's body.

Forced into a last resort, Luo Chen had no choice but to continuously stimulate his source of power to protect his own body.

Even this is not enough!
Luo Chen directly used his biggest trump card, the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire!

It must be said that compared to the relatively weak and incompletely transformed Nirvana Holy Fire, this fifth-order divine fire that he had spent nearly three hundred years cultivating did not disappoint his expectations.

He desperately spent his magic power to activate the Divine Fire of Withering and Flourishing, and managed to resist the erosion of the turbid yellow waves time and time again.

Let him persevere to the end.

But the price is the exhaustion of mana.

Moreover, his physical body was severely affected by the backlash caused by the excessive activation of the Divine Fire of Withering and Flourishing.

Not only that……

Luo Chen looked inside his purple palace. The originally lush and green fire tree now drooped there with no vitality at all.

There wasn't even much response when communicating with the fire spirit.

Luo Chen understood that, in the end, without the collapse of his Nascent Soul, his magic power was no longer enough to support the activation of the Divine Fire of Withering and Flourishing. It was the Fire Spirit itself that exhausted its inner strength to preserve a little life for him.

This is the fire spirit's automatic act of protecting its master.

"I am a great Dan Sect leader, looking down on my peers, and have killed many powerful enemies. Even great cultivators and great demon kings can't do anything to me. Even seriously injured gods died under my sword. But I didn't expect that just a wave of the sea could almost kill me."

"Ha ha……"

A bitter laugh came out from Luo Chen's throat.

The sound of sandpaper rubbing against the throat came out with difficulty, and the sobbing continued under the night.

It sounds tragic, but it is actually good news, indicating that Luo Chen is regaining control of his body.

The danger was temporarily gone. After Luo Chen briefly examined his own situation, he began to think about his current situation.

"What on earth does that muddy yellow ocean wave look like...deja vu?"

Gathering his distracting thoughts, Luo Chen continued searching through the complicated memories. Regardless of the severe pain in his head, he was determined to find out where that familiar feeling came from.

But no matter how hard we searched, there was no trace of it.

In the end, Luo Chen had no choice but to give up.

"I don't know if the Black King has escaped. I hope he won't be dragged into this."

Luo Chen sighed in his heart and stopped wasting time. His heart calmed down and he began to carefully mobilize the magic power of his Nascent Soul.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul is no different from a porcelain doll.

If you are not careful, it might collapse and break into pieces.

By then, the huge magic power that constitutes the Nascent Soul will surge out, and with its current fragile body, it is likely that it will be directly exploded.

Fortunately, Luo Chen did not ask for much mana.

Just a little bit!

It's just a little bit of mana used to open the storage ring.

There was a flash of light at his fingertips, and a pill was taken out and gently put into his mouth.

"Gudong."

After swallowing the pill, Luo Chen closed his eyes.

He did not actively refine it, just let the medicinal power of the elixir emit strands of nutrients to nourish his body.

Time passed little by little.

The sound of the disappearing waves seemed to reappear in my ears little by little.

Luo Chen didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if the turbid yellow waves swept back again in this state.

When the sky is about to dawn.

A crackling sound came from Luo Chen's body.

Large pieces of charred skin fell off his body.

Luo Chen sat up suddenly.

"call……"

After exhaling a breath of foul air, the naked Luo Chen subconsciously took a few steps back without even having time to be thankful that he was not wearing the Xuanchen Armor.

Wow!

The turbid yellow waves surged and hit the soft sand where he was previously standing.

As the tide rose and fell, Luo Chen's heart calmed down a little.

After a night of recovery, his strong body relied on its amazing vitality to heal itself and finally squeezed out some source of power, allowing him to move at this moment.

He looked in horror at the turbid yellow sea not far away that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and the familiar feeling emerged in his mind again.

"Where have you seen this scene before or in what book?"

"Never mind, let's get out of here first!"

With a clap of his ears, the Hun Tian Stick appeared, and Luo Chen stood up with difficulty, supporting himself with the stick as if he was leaning on a crutch.

He stopped looking at the turbid yellow sea and turned back.

With just one glance, the black cliff that looked like a knife hit his eyes.

In an instant, Luo Chen remembered everything.

He seemed incredulous, looked back at the turbid yellow sea, moved his lips, and uttered two names with difficulty.

"Yellow Spring Sea!"

“Soul-breaking Cliff!” Whoosh…

A sea breeze blew in, and the man in simple linen clothes stood alone, leaning on a stone stick, looking so small between heaven and earth.

……

Luo Chen walked alone on the rugged mountain road.

Information about this forbidden area in the North Sea flowed in his mind like a trickle.

The North Sea is vast and contains countless dangerous places.

During the human race's repeated development, many dangerous places were conquered and became protective barriers for major sects.

Like the Yama sky at the North Pole, and like an endless valley.

Even the Ziling Island, which was inaccessible to all living things, was conquered by Luo Chen and turned into a medicinal garden for growing purple monkey flowers.

But there are still many places that are difficult for monks to set foot in, or they require a huge price to explore.

For example, the Sinking Sea that Luo Chen had been to, and the Soul-Breaking Cliff in front of him!
It is rumored that the Soul-Breaking Cliff is a forbidden area deep in the Demon Sea. It was discovered by a casual cultivator in the early years. Later, the Yuanmo Sect of the North Sea Holy Land organized a group of Yuanying and Jindan stage strongmen to go there, but most of them died there, so it got the name "Soul-Breaking".

Afterwards, the Yuanmo Sect's Soul Refining Ancestor went out in person to explore the Soul-Breaking Cliff and reaped a great harvest from it.

But he only explored it once, and he never went there again until the Yuanmo Sect was destroyed.

Luo Chen was naturally impressed by such a forbidden place.

He even saw it once in person.

The reason why I couldn't remember it last night was because I didn't witness it with my own eyes. Instead, I used the puppet's eye to see it while using the soul-splitting technique in order to escape from Yue Sanren's pursuit.

Later, after forming his Nascent Soul on Longyuan Island, Luo Chen once went against the flow, trying to see the scenery of the Cliff of Broken Souls in the Yellow Springs Sea.

Unfortunately, on the way back, we gained nothing.

It was also that time that made Luo Chen realize that the Yellow Spring Sea was not a fixed place and the Cliff of Broken Souls would also move with it.

This is a forbidden area for walking!

"Could it be that I hit the moving Cliff of Broken Souls and was swept into the Yellow Spring Sea?"

Luo Chen was halfway up the dark cliff. He took a breath and looked down with a wry smile on his face.

You can’t be that unlucky!
But this is probably the only explanation.

The motionless Yellow Springs Sea can at best be ignored, but it can be avoided if you are prepared.

But if it is the Yellow Spring Sea in a moving state, no one can guess its speed.

Especially at that time, the Black King listened to Luo Chen's order, swam very fast, and directly ran into it.

There is another doubtful point. According to Luo Chen's understanding, the Cliff of Broken Souls is extremely strange. Once a creature enters it, its soul will become confused and unable to resist, allowing it to be swallowed by the Yellow Springs Sea.

Although I couldn't break free at that time, I was able to resist a little.

"Is it because my soul is strong? Or is it because the Hell Soul Suppression Technique has been working, so I have retained this glimmer of hope?"

Luo Chen doesn't think he is that powerful.

Even a great god wouldn't dare to set foot in such a strange place. It would be impossible for him to last that long relying on his spiritual power.

Can't figure it out!
Luo Chen took another look at the endless dim yellow sea in the distance and sighed softly.

Before Lord Youli ascended to heaven, he warned him that a great catastrophe would come unexpectedly in the future.

Could it be that he crashed into the Yellow Springs Sea and his soul returned to the Cliff of Broken Souls?
This is too unexpected!
He didn't even have the chance to activate the evil spirit remaining in the Hunyuan Ding.

"Let's find a safe place and recover first!"

Stepping on the hard rocks, Luo Chen continued to move forward in the direction away from the Yellow Springs Sea.

……

When night falls again, the sound of the tide gradually fades away.

Luo Chen stopped in a cave sunken in a huge rock.

This is a nice place. Not only is it sheltered from the wind and rain, but the view is also excellent and you can see the sea in the distance.

The only drawback is probably that it lacks spiritual energy!
But this is not a big disadvantage, because after a day's walk, Luo Chen did not find any place with spiritual veins on the island.

We can only make do with it.

As soon as he thought about it, bottles and jars were suddenly placed in front of Luo Chen, all of which were elixirs that he had accumulated over the years.

And most of them are of top quality!
Ordinary pills had long been consumed in daily practice.

Only these most precious elixirs are qualified to stay by your side.

"I wonder if it's enough for me to recover my magic power?"

Luo Chen murmured, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

When I crossed the South Seas before, I spent a lot of my savings in order to restore my magic power.

At that time, there was still some free spiritual energy in the South Seas, but this place was like a place without any spiritual energy. There was nothing and people could only rely on elixirs.

Moreover, it is not just about recovering his magic power, he also has to take good care of his body to generate source of power in case of emergency.

Although I haven't seen any spiritual veins or living creatures along the way, who knows if any accidents will happen.

Only by recovering to his peak state can Luo Chen feel at ease and have the strength to find a way to leave this place.

only……

"Can we leave?"

Looking at the pitch-black sea, Luo Chen's heart couldn't stop sinking.

……

Without spiritual veins, recovering mana is a very difficult task.

In particular, Luo Chen needs to use some of his magic power to repair his body, which makes the process even slower.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, several months had passed.

One day, Luo Chen stood up and left the cave.

Standing on top of the Cliff of Broken Souls, looking out at the dim sea in the distance.

There were faint fluctuations of magical power lingering around him, and his whole body was in a very good state of mind, which meant that his hard work over the past few months had not been in vain.

But Luo Chen still didn't dare to be careless.

Looking into the distance, Luo Chen thought carefully.

In the past few months, he not only practiced hard behind closed doors, but also conducted experiments from time to time.

The Soul-Breaking Cliff was not high, only about three thousand feet, and he was only halfway up the mountain in the shade.

The island is not very big, about 800 miles long and wide.

In this way, the solitary peak of the Cliff of Broken Souls appears to be quite eye-catching in a small area.

But the Yellow Spring Sea that spreads out covers a very wide area!
Even with Luo Chen's red eyes and golden pupils that could see thousands of miles away, he still couldn't see the end.

Moreover, through his experiments, he indeed discovered that the island and even the sea under his feet were always moving.

Although the speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it occasionally stops, it is definitely moving.

According to Luo Chen's judgment, it is currently staying near southern Xinjiang and has not moved for a long time.

In addition, there are several exploration results.

That is this place. Not only is there no spiritual energy, but even when the true meaning of the laws is activated, it is impossible to attract the vitality of heaven and earth.

This discovery made Luo Chen extremely shocked!
The vital energy of heaven and earth is everywhere, except when you leave this world.

And what does it mean if we can’t draw the vital energy of heaven and earth without leaving?
Luo Chen only needed to think about it for a moment before he came up with the answer.

There are people who are far more powerful than him, blocking the connection between him and the heaven and earth, so the true meaning of the law becomes ineffective.

What kind of strength can far surpass him?
Become a god?

I'm afraid that even an ordinary powerful god can't do this.

Only a powerful being like Lord Youli, who is infinitely close to the Void Refinement Stage, can do this.

Combined with the constant movement of the Soul-Breaking Cliff, this gave Luo Chen a guess in his mind.

"Lord Youli once said that it is impossible to break through the Void Refining Stage in this world. Only the top-level Great Wilderness in the Mountain and Sea Realm is unrestricted."

"If this island, this Soul-Breaking Cliff, and even this Yellow Spring Sea were all transformed by a Great Wilderness, then everything can be explained."

"Just like the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven in Zhongzhou!"

"But, is this Great Wilderness alive or dead?"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, slowly withdrew his gaze, and planned to go back home to continue the rest of his practice.

However, his gaze paused for a moment at the bottom of the cliff.

After the tide receded, the soft black sand beach was faintly emitting a strange light. (End of this chapter)
