Longevity begins with alchemy master

Time passes slowly.

On the Soul-Breaking Cliff, where there was no sign of life and no spiritual energy at all, Luo Chen silently calculated the passage of time.

In the fifth year, he separated his seventh soul.

In the sixth year, after practicing for hundreds of years, he finally perfected the Soul Splitting Technique, but he could vaguely sense that the Soul Splitting Technique had some flaws. He didn't know where the flaws were, but it was probably related to the missing part in Han Zhan's memory.

Luo Chen did not delve into this further.

He knew very well that the system had marked this technique as an incomplete version since he had obtained it.

And because the level is too high, it cannot be completed naturally by improving proficiency.

In order to complete it, one must either invest a huge amount of achievement points, or find some auxiliary treasure that Han Zhan does not know about.

"My goal is to break through the limitations of the soul in the Nascent Soul Realm through nine soul divisions. For now, the Soul Splitting Technique is enough!"

When the seventh year arrived, Luo Chen immediately stepped into the division of the eighth soul.

The soul-forging principle of "Soul-Splitting Technique" is based on the fact that quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When the main soul cannot be improved, a large number of divided souls are used to improve it, thereby driving the overall improvement.

Therefore, the more souls there are, the better.

This can be seen from the fact that Han Zhan split his soul into nine parts very early on.

If Luo Chen had not been burdened by worldly affairs in his early years, he would have reached that point long ago.

But it’s not too late now!

Especially with the help of soul stones everywhere, it would be much easier.

If Han Zhan were still alive, seeing him practicing the Soul-Splitting Technique in this way, his eyes would probably turn red with jealousy.

tonight.

The main soul is round and full, the split souls are full of vitality, and even the seventh soul that was cut off just last year has grown to the middle Nascent Soul level after a year of soul stone cultivation.

It's time to cut off the eighth soul.

Luo Chen kept his mind focused, turned his consciousness into a knife, and began to cut the main soul.

However, the usual process seemed to be going a little bit smoothly tonight.

The suppressed sound of pain lasted for a very long time before it just stopped.

Before I knew it, three days had passed.

Luo Chen's face was pale, and he looked exhausted at the newly born eighth soul in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"How could this be?"

"It gets harder the further you go. This is different from what is recorded in the technique."

"Does that mean that this technique must be practiced in the same way as Han Zhan, and the sooner the nine souls are split, the better?"

Luo Chen was puzzled.

He did not think there was much difference between the two, especially after he had pushed his proficiency in the Soul-Splitting Technique to the great perfection level, it should have been easier.

Even if there is a bottleneck, it should not appear when it comes to the eighth or ninth soul.

Can't figure it out!
Luo Chen could only absorb the wisps of green smoke to recover from his current weak state.

suddenly!

hum...

A dull sound was heard, and then it continued.

The voice was very subtle, but it reached deep into his soul. Luo Chen didn't understand what it meant and walked out of the cave.

As far as the eye can see, the sky is high and the earth is vast, with the sea of ​​clouds rolling.

That stretch of Yellow Springs Sea, with a turbulent and rolling momentum, rolled outwards.

Seeing this scene, a thought subconsciously popped up in Luo Chen's mind.

"It's moving again!"

In recent years, the Yellow Spring Sea has been relatively calm.

According to Luo Chen's inference, it should be staying near southern Xinjiang and hiding in the South China Sea.

The current movement was somewhat similar to when he first encountered the Yellow Springs Sea.

"So where will it go this time?"

Luo Chen muttered to himself.

But these mumblings gradually became solemn.

His face, which was originally pale due to the splitting of his eighth soul, also became filled with doubt and uncertainty.

His gaze moved from the Cliff of Broken Souls at his feet, to the almost endless beach covered with black rocks, and finally through the vast Yellow Springs Sea to the distance, his lips tightly pursed.

"Could it be..."

A guess suddenly popped into my mind!
If the Cliff of Broken Souls and even this Yellow Spring Sea were transformed from a top-level wild beast, then where did the countless soul stones come from?

At first he thought it was washed down from the Yellow Springs Sea, but later he discovered that it was actually washed down from the Cliff of Broken Souls.

However, despite the day-to-day erosion, the Soul-Breaking Cliff has not collapsed and the Soul Stone Beach has not decreased.

Then what about the huge amount of soul stones that I have consumed in the past seven years?
"Out of nothing? Impossible!"

"There must be something extra to add!"

Luo Chen associated all the information about the forbidden area of ​​Cliff of Broken Souls and came to an incredible conclusion.

If this creature is really a wild beast, then its favorite food must be the souls of living people!
Moreover, it is not just one or two souls of living beings, but the souls of living beings that permeate the heaven and earth and are omnipresent.

It will automatically swim to where there is more, and then stay there for a long time, slowly absorbing and transforming into part of the Cliff of Broken Souls.

Among the five continents in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the North Sea has the largest territory, and the Endless Demon Sea is always filled with battles and killings, so the Soul-Breaking Cliff has always remained in the depths of the Demon Sea.

With the demise of the Yuanmo Sect, the three overlords of the North Sea attacked each other, and even the human-demon war and the Dao Sect's invasion of the North Sea. The souls of the dead in the war increased, and the Cliff of Broken Souls gradually moved away from the depths of the Demon Sea and came to the edge of the human race.

So, that’s how I happened to encounter it by chance that year.

The reason why the Cliff of Broken Souls is located near Nanyang, close to southern Xinjiang, is obviously because it was attracted by the battle between the Gate of Life and Death.

When Lord Youli ascended to heaven, he killed millions of cultivators with one strike. Unimaginable amounts of fresh living souls filled the southern border cultivation world and could not be dissipated for a while.

So, here comes the Cliff of Broken Souls.

Now, six years have passed and the seventh year has arrived.

If there are no more major wars in southern Xinjiang, then the meal at the Cliff of Broken Souls should be almost over.

If it leaves now, there must be somewhere more attractive.

"Has a war comparable to the North Sea Rebellion and the Southern Border War broken out somewhere?"

"Or is it going to happen, or has it already happened?"

Several names popped up in Luo Chen's mind, and finally stopped at the most familiar "Eastern Wasteland".

In recent years, there have been frequent wars in the Eastern Wilderness, and how many people have died in vain?

In addition, with the destruction of the Mingyuan Sect, the Nether Abyss has long been unable to protect the Eastern Wilderness’ ocean territory, and the Cliff of Broken Souls may be heading towards the Eastern Wilderness.

if it is like this……

A glimmer of hope gradually rose in Luo Chen's eyes.

He had long discovered that the ebb and flow of the Yellow Spring Sea not only changed with the rising and setting of the sun during the day, but also changed with the passage of time as a whole.

The further you go, the calmer it becomes.

Just like eating, you always eat voraciously at the beginning, so the wind is strong and the waves are big.

Later on, after having eaten a full meal, it wasn't so intense anymore.

If I want to leave, I have to take advantage of the time when the wind is strong and the waves are high enough to swallow everything!
Thinking of this, Luo Chen made a secret decision.

"Before that day comes, I must separate the ninth soul and make all preparations!"

……

The sky was flashing white light.

After a moment, there was a muffled sound of thunder beside my ears.

On the Zuwang Peak of Lanke Mountain, a figure stood by the railing, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with a calm expression.

There were hurried footsteps, and soon a figure walked behind the old man and bowed respectfully.

"Master, everything is ready!"

Tianyuan Taoist Sect leader Mo Shouzhuo nodded slightly, turned and entered one of the halls in Zuowang Peak.

In the empty hall, as he entered, four rays of light gradually lit up.

One of the rays of light, before it even stabilized, couldn't wait to make a sound.

"Brother, why don't you let me enter Southern Xinjiang again?"

Mo Shouzhuo glanced at the hazy figure and said calmly: "The gates of life and death have gathered together. Can you break it?"

The man who spoke just now was choked.

The three rays of light next to them gradually stabilized, and a soft female voice was heard from them.

"Brother Liancheng, why worry? Youli has already ascended, and Southern Xinjiang is just an ownerless land. Let it linger for a few more days." Liancheng was indignant. "Without the God of Transformation to preside over it, the Gate of Life and Death can always be cracked. It just takes more time."

Mo Shouzhuo asked back, "Then aren't you afraid of the tricks that Lord Youli left behind before he ascended to heaven?"

Lian Cheng said in a hateful voice: "He was only able to defeat me in an instant by taking advantage of the huge spiritual power drawn by Xia Ju when he ascended. Now that he is gone, what is there to fear about his remaining tricks?"

A loud and hoarse laugh came from the side, but it was no longer from the Sect Master Mo Shouzhuo and the woman before.

"Little Liancheng, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Lord Youli is so powerful that you can't even imagine."

“Brother Buxiu, why are you laughing at me?” Liancheng said angrily, “In the battle at the Gate of Life and Death, your Zhan family also suffered heavy losses! Even Zhan Bingtao, who you think is the best person to take over your position, has not recovered from his injuries yet. And Brother Tan, the little girl from your Tan family has not even recovered her body yet.”

Zhan Buxiu's tone stagnated, and he scolded, "You are responsible for the affairs of Southern Xinjiang. After such a big mistake, you still say this?"

Tan Fengyue, one of the five ancestors of Tianyuan, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

"This time, the army attacked the four continents of Shanhai and Haizhou, and the intention was to train the younger generation. The death of that little girl can only be attributed to her bad luck, and she deserved this catastrophe. However, the ability of Lord Youli is indeed beyond imagination."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and Mo Shouzhuo seemed a little annoyed.

Boom!
Tapping the table with the back of his fingers, he said in a deep voice: "It is indeed unexpected that Lord Youli would act without regard for the consequences. But it is also an indisputable fact that he has already ascended and left this world. In the short term, it is impossible for the Gate of Life and Death to produce another great master of the Divine Transformation. It is only a matter of time before Southern Xinjiang falls into the hands of our Dao Sect. Liancheng, you have to be more patient. There will be a day when you can return to Southern Xinjiang."

"Hmph!" Lian Cheng snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not force it.

After all, the Tianyuan Dao Sect's conquest of the four continents was successful everywhere, except for his side, which suffered a heavy blow.

But he is also very wronged!

Who could have thought that Lord Youli, who was about to die, would suddenly ascend to heaven and even ignore the backlash and forcefully wipe out Dao Zong's army.

Mo Shouzhuo suppressed this and began to inquire about the situations in other places.

"Junior Sister Chunyuan, how is the situation in the East Wilderness?"

The gentle female voice from before appeared again, and she described the situation in the Eastern Wasteland in a clear and logical manner.

"Under the threat of the demon army, all the major and minor sects have surrendered to us."

"During the war, I once spied on Cangwu Mountain from afar. The heavenly calamity has indeed been hanging high for more than ten years. It is extremely terrifying."

"Those three Daoists from Mingyuan were really stubborn. They even resorted to such tactics before they died."

Mo Shouzhuo's expression relaxed slightly. "That means the demon phoenix is ​​indeed unable to take action?"

Patriarch Chun Yuan said softly, "Yes."

Mo Shouzhuo breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, let's speed up and unify the Eastern Wasteland's immortal cultivation world. But remember, our Dao Sect is limited to the original Eastern Wasteland human land. Whether it's the Million Mountains or the Cangwu Mountains, we must not touch them at all."

Inside the hall, someone was puzzled.

"The demon phoenix is ​​already seriously injured, and now it is suppressed by the heavenly tribulation. Why should we be so afraid of it?"

The puzzled person was none other than Patriarch Liancheng.

Mo Shouzhuo waved his hand, "Junior brother, you don't understand. The original strength of the demon phoenix is ​​still above that of the Youli Divine Lord. Even though it is suppressed by this world and has various constraints, it is not something we can easily provoke. If it weren't for the sudden disappearance of the Mingyuan Sect, my Tianyuan Dao Sect would never set foot on the territory of the Eastern Wilderness."

Patriarch Liancheng was in doubt, "If he is really that powerful, wouldn't he become a great enemy of our Dao Sect?"

"She is an enemy." Mo Shouzhuo said calmly, "But she is an enemy of the main sect. In this mountain and sea world, we don't provoke her, and she'd better not set foot in Zhongzhou, otherwise..."

There was a hint of murderous intent in his words.

But this murderous intent came and went quickly.

Mo Shouzhe asked about the situation in Beihai.

Patriarch Chun Yuan had not yet finished speaking.

"Master, there are two people in the East Desert who we should pay attention to."

"Who?"

"The first is Demon King Qingshuang, who possesses the true meaning of the laws of space!"

"I know this monster, but I'll ignore it for now. Who is the other one?"

"Luo Chen!"

"Hmm?" Mo Shouzhuo showed a surprised look on his face. "Is it Luo Chen who stole the limelight in the five hundred years competition and returned to the East Desert to show his attainments as a master of alchemy?"

Patriarch Chun Yuan hummed and said, "That's the boy. Originally, I was only paying attention to him because of my disciple Qing Lan, but I found that he was not useless as you thought in your early years. Instead, he realized the origin of fire that suits him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Everyone was a powerful spirit, and they all remembered the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven Competition.

Luo Chen, who has been in the limelight, naturally will not forget it.

But at that time, although Luo Chen unexpectedly comprehended the true meaning of the law, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he had gone astray and had no hope of becoming a god in the future.

If the name of Dan Zong had not been heard later, especially the fact that he betrayed Tianyuan Dao Zong and joined Xingmen, damaging the reputation of Dao Zong, people would not have remembered him so clearly.

But it's just a memory.

But now, Patriarch Chun Yuan said that the other party has also comprehended the true meaning of another law, which is very consistent with the origin of fire. This is a bit unexpected.

Mo Shouzhuo frowned for the first time, "Really?"

Elder Chun Yuan affirmed, "It can't be false. I have personally visited the ruins of the Five Elements Divine Sect and found that there are indeed traces of the true meaning of the Fire Element Law. Moreover, Shi Ju went there earlier, so he felt it more deeply."

This cannot be wrong.

The youngster Shi Ju also comprehended the origin of fire in advance, and since like repels like, it is difficult for him to admit his mistake.

Mo Shouzhuo pondered for a moment and slowly asked, "Where is he now?"

"I don't know!" said Elder Chun Yuan, but quickly added, "I heard that a new physical cultivator has appeared in Southern Xinjiang. I suspect it is Luo Chen's incarnation, because he once displayed an extremely strong physical cultivation realm and competed with the Great Demon King and defeated him!"

Patriarch Liancheng was surprised and asked, "Ba Xiu Qi Tian?"

"Yes! Could it be that Junior Brother Liancheng has seen him?"

“I haven’t seen it, but according to what Zhan Bingtao said, the Death Gate was most likely opened by this person.”

Everyone could not help but be surprised. Being able to push open the Death Gate showed that his body refining skills must be extremely high and profound.

Mo Shouzhuo asked, "Where is he going now?"

Patriarch Liancheng was speechless.

Mo Shouzhuo frowned, "Forget it, it would be fine if he keeps his identity hidden for the rest of his life, but as long as he shows up, he will eventually become a disciple of our Dao Sect. Let's discuss other things first! Senior Brother Zhan, how is the situation in the North Sea?"

Zhan Buxiu laughed, "Everything is going well, Li Canghai is cooperating with us. I have also fought with the two monsters, the Sea Emperor Whale and the Great Saint Beili, although it was just a battle in the air, but the two monsters are no match for me. The overall situation in the North Sea has been decided, and the rest is just the business of the younger generation below."

Mo Shouzhuo relaxed his brows and asked about the situation in the Western Desert.

Tan Fengyue also gave good news.

"The Hanging Temple is still tightly closed, which gives us a good excuse to send troops. The only doubt is that I only found traces of the Red Sand Ancient Scorpion, and the Golden Winged Peng Bird that cooperated with him mysteriously disappeared."

The leaders of the Western Desert Rebellion were mainly these two.

One is an ancient demon, the Red Sand Scorpion, and the other is a wild beast, the Golden-winged Roc, which had been enlightened by Buddhism.

Although there is one less person now, it is actually good news for Tianyuan Taoist Sect.

After understanding the situation in the four continents, Mo Shouzhuo gradually had a clear idea in his mind.

The overall situation in the North Sea has been determined, the Southern Frontier is just around the corner, the East Wilderness only seeks the original human cultivation world, and the West Desert is about to send troops.

Fifty years have passed since the troops were dispatched.

It might take another fifty years to completely conquer it.

Three thousand years of gathering strength, and a hundred years of conquering the four continents.

A century of conquest was followed by thousands of years of governance.

Before he ascends to heaven, perhaps he can see the grand scene of Dao Zong unifying the mountain and sea world.

He couldn't help but smile, "Gentlemen, taking into account the variables, before I hand over the burden and ascend, perhaps we can really unify the mountains and the sea. Let's encourage each other!"

There was an immediate response from within the hall.

"good!"

"Let's encourage each other!"

This gathering of divine thoughts that spanned continents came to an end with laughter and joy.

Mo Shouzhuo rubbed his brows, left the hall, and paced outside again.

Breathing in the spiritual energy of Zuowang Peak which was richer than before, the smile on his face never stopped.

Although there were some unexpected events in the wars in various continents, everything was moving in a good direction with himself in command and his four fellow apprentices working hard.

Even if there are variables, they are under control.

The work that had never been accomplished by previous generations was finally going to be completed in his generation.

By then, even if he ascended to the mysterious realm and returned to the main sect, it would be considered a great achievement.

Looking into the distance, Mo Shouzhe calculated the approximate time in his mind, but his expression gradually became gloomy.

Why do those dark clouds linger for so long?
"wrong!"

"Variables that can be controlled are never variables!"

"The Dao Sect's great calamity is coming!" (End of this chapter)
