Longevity begins with alchemy master

It was another quiet night.

Luo Chen, who had been sitting for a long time, slowly opened his eyes.

He rubbed his brows, a tired look on his face.

With the continuous replenishment of soul stones, the main soul has always maintained its peak state, and in theory it can be divided continuously.

But by the time of the eighth soul, signs of extremely difficulties were revealed.

He originally wanted to separate the ninth soul in one go, even if it was weaker, he could cultivate it slowly. But because of this reason, he was unable to separate the ninth soul.

He even had a premonition that once he separated his ninth soul, something extremely bad would happen.

That was the kind of accident he definitely didn't want to see.

"What went wrong?"

Luo Chen didn't dare to act rashly, he trusted his intuition.

As the realm becomes higher, some instinctive intuitions become more accurate, and cultivators dare not ignore them at all.

He can only analyze carefully, find out the problems, and then solve them accordingly.

"Did something go wrong when I was laying the foundation? Should I learn from Han Zhan and divide the nine souls first, and then gradually strengthen them?"

Luo Chen didn't quite believe this. In terms of the strength of his foundation, he was still better than Han Zhan.

"Is it because I have split my soul too frequently in the past ten years, and my main soul is exhausted?"

Behind strength is weakness. The seemingly tough main soul may have already been unable to be split.

Luo Chen wasn't quite sure about this, because the soul stone's miraculous power had not caused any side effects.

Even in his spare time, he deliberately collected a large number of soul stones for use after he left the Cliff of Broken Souls in the future.

"Or maybe it's the incompleteness of the Soul-Splitting Technique itself that prevents me from completing the whole skill?"

Luo Chen only thought about the last guess briefly.

The Soul-Splitting Technique has some flaws, but the missing part is the one that tempers the soul.

He had made up for this by using the Great Soul Pill a few years ago.

Moreover, the revised "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" itself also comes with an excellent method for tempering the soul, so the problem should not lie here.

After much thought without any result, Luo Chen could only sigh.

Are the eight souls his limit?
"Perhaps I am too greedy. In less than ten years, I have achieved what ordinary people would take hundreds or even thousands of years to accomplish. I should be satisfied. How can I still crave for perfection?"

After exhaling a breath, Luo Chen stood up, left the huge rock cave that sheltered him from the wind and rain, and walked to the mountainside.

Under the cover of night, the windless and waveless Soul Island actually had a somewhat eerie feeling.

Faintly, there seemed to be the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Luo Chen looked normal, he was already used to this.

He gazed into the distance, his spiritual awareness slowly spreading.

One mile, two miles...ten miles.

"Ten miles of land?"

Luo Chen nodded slightly. Compared to the hundred-foot area when he first entered the island, this change was more than ten times the difference.

From here we can also see how much his spiritual foundation has grown!

But it’s still not enough!
Luo Chen's mind moved, golden light flashed in his eyes, and his pupils suddenly turned golden.

Not only that, the source of energy followed a familiar route into the eyes, and streaks of blood spread out.

In an instant, the image of red eyes and golden pupils appeared again.

Looking into the distance, it seems thousands of miles away.

The spiritual consciousness here is greatly suppressed. Although the vision is also affected by the turbid sky light, it is relatively better.

However, there was not much joy on Luo Chen's face.

It’s just because his eyes still can’t see through the Yellow Springs Sea and reach the outside world.

"Under this situation, there is no guarantee that we can leave the Yellow Spring Sea safely."

"Want to give it a try?"

Luo Chen asked himself, seeming hesitant.

But in fact, when this question is asked, the answer is already determined.

There was not a single bit of spiritual energy on the Soul-Breaking Cliff, so he couldn't cultivate his energy.

The supplies he carried with him could not support him in further physical training.

Even the most hopeful path of soul refining reached a bottleneck as the splitting of the ninth soul was blocked.

If he continues to stay there, he will die of old age on this lonely island.

Even if you live for thousands of years, it will be of no use.

It is necessary to take a risk.

The biggest reliance, besides the surge in spirit and soul, is...

Luo Chen looked inward and saw that the green and white fire tree in the purple mansion had already spread its branches.

The previously over-consumed fire spirit has awakened.

Although not as good as his peak, but with the experience of the trip to the Yellow Springs Sea, Luo Chen believed that under his own control, this time out would be smoother.

suddenly!

Just when Luo Chen focused his attention on himself, his body shook slightly.

Luo Chen withdrew his spiritual sense in surprise. Was it because he didn't stand firmly?

How is it possible!

His gaze fell downward.

The dark and dense sand beach is shaking slightly.

The soul stones, which seemed a little sparse after being picked by him, were also beating slightly.

Not only that……

Luo Chen pursed his lips and looked into the distance.

The surface of the Yellow Spring Sea, which had been extremely calm every night for the past eight years, was now becoming restless.

No one knows where the wind comes from, but the waves come from the underworld.

Wow...

Under the cover of night, the crisp sound of waves lapping can be heard from far away.

Luo Chen looked at this scene in amazement, muttering in his heart: "What happened?"

Perhaps what he wanted to ask was not what happened, but where the Cliff of Broken Souls had moved to during this period of time.

And the answer was given to him by this sea at dawn.

As the sky broke at dawn, a blurry scene appeared in the reflection of the previously extremely turbid Yellow Springs Sea.

There was a rich green light, spreading from the east to the north at a slow but unquestionable speed. Within the range covered by the green light, green crops were swaying.

The terrain is undulating, as if some huge creature is lurking underground, making a lot of noise. Wherever it passes, mountain ridges rise high, and it looks like thousands of mountains are crouching.

In the sky, a thousand-foot-tall golden roc flapped its wings, cutting black lines through the void.

There was also a giant red beast, like a tall building, rushing out from the sea, with ghostly shadows all over its body, and every step it took raised huge waves that seemed powerful enough to destroy the world.

And above the endless nine skies, there are dense, suffocating dark clouds.

Thunder and lightning would occasionally strike, killing the tiny figures that were rushing towards the sky.

In the dark clouds, a graceful figure appeared and disappeared, but its true appearance could not be seen.

Four giant beasts landed from the east, south, west and north directions and rushed towards an inaccessible mountain that connected the sky and the earth.

In the mountain, the stars flickered, the light gate opened, and figures filled with a terrifying aura were walking out of it, and each hazy figure exuded an angry aura. Suddenly, thunder and fire collided, forming a giant palm of destruction, which slapped the towering mountain that connected the sky and the earth, causing a monstrous roar from the starlight gate.

Wow...

A huge wave came crashing down, shattering the reflected scene into pieces, and then it disappeared completely.

Luo Chen opened his mouth wide, showing a rare loss of composure in his life, and stood there blankly.

After a long while, he murmured, "Is it an illusion?"

……

"It must be an illusion!"

"The sight of a mirage has been recorded since ancient times. In many cases, it even reverses space and time, reflecting scenes from far away or many years ago."

"That stunning scene was most likely a scene from the ancient war."

"Wild beasts, great demons, powerful gods, visitors from outer space..."

Walking along the hillside of the Soul-Breaking Cliff, Luo Chen walked towards the top of the mountain unconsciously.

The scene I saw before is still in my mind.

He tried to convince himself that it was an illusion, but what remained in his memory was the lingering graceful figure that appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds and lightning.

Boom!
Luo Chen stopped.

The look of doubt and surprise on his face slowly disappeared.

He couldn't deceive himself. That graceful and noble figure was so familiar, there was no way he could be mistaken.

Even if the other party is a figure from within the past thousand years, it is impossible for him to be linked to the ancient war.

The ancient demon Phoenix Qixia Yuanjun!

"It must be her. She showed such grace when she destroyed Mingyuan."

"And this time, the target has changed to the more powerful Tianyuan Dao Sect!"

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva and carefully recalled the scene he saw in a trance at that time.

There are four powerful beings comparable to the great gods who have landed in Zhongzhou from four directions. He can directly determine the origins of two of them.

The one with rich green light must be the Green He Immortal of the East Wasteland, a person who has attained the Tao among plants and trees.

The one who is as beautiful as a red building and overwhelms the mountains and seas is the North Sea Wild Beast Ghost Fairy Tower, whom I have met several times. Judging from the aura it has revealed, I am afraid it has broken through the fourth level and become a fifth-level wild beast.

As for the other two.

The thousand-foot-tall golden roc, could it be the golden-winged roc that wreaks havoc on the human world in the Western Desert as rumored?
This beast was not simple in origin, it had a powerful bloodline, and once joined the Buddhist sect and served as the guardian of the relic temple. Later, it stole the relics of thirty-six eminent monks, and was extremely powerful.

It should be correct!
In his early years, Luo Chen majored in "Tian Peng Transformation", which listed several training routes such as Thunder Peng, Fire Peng, and Golden Peng. Luo Chen once learned about this knowledge.

The appearance of the golden-winged Peng bird is too obvious.

As for the last one, it was nowhere to be seen and was hidden beneath the ground.

But vaguely, Luo Chen had a sense of familiarity.

"It's the Netherworld Earth Dragon!"

In a flash, Luo Chen found out where the familiar feeling came from.

The beast had fought him as if it were just yesterday, and at one point had pushed him to the brink of life and death.

Therefore, even though he hadn't seen the figure, Luo Chen was certain that the one that landed from the south, causing the earth veins to crack and thousands of mountains to be crouched was definitely the Netherworld Dragon!

But there are also doubts. When this beast first appeared, it was not as powerful as it was in the picture.

Especially after the old Netherworld Earth Dragon's body collapsed, the young Netherworld Earth Dragon that escaped was almost seriously injured. How could it have the performance of almost destroying the world in the picture?

Suddenly.

Luo Chen thought of some ambiguous behaviors of Lord Youli before his ascension.

At that time, Luo Chen asked him why he let the Netherworld Dragon leave?
Lord Youli’s answer was that there was no one in the Gate of Life and Death who was capable of controlling the beast.

Given the difference in realm, Luo Chen could only listen to it.

But now it seems that the truth is not so!
"Qixia Yuanjun went to Zhongzhou because Tianyuan Dao Sect took over Donghuang and angered her?"

"If it was the Mingyuan Sect, then it might be explainable. But how could there be such a person in the world who cannot withstand provocation and repeatedly destroy the holy land?"

"First it was Yuan Mo, then Ming Yuan, and now it is the most powerful sect in this world, Tian Yuan Dao Sect!"

Luo Chen would rather believe that Qixia Yuanjun had planned this for a long time.

This can be seen from the fact that the first thing the other party did after breaking into Mingyuan Sect was to rescue Qinghexian.

The foundation of the holy land is so powerful!
When Yuanmo was destroyed, the sect was sealed for a hundred years and millions of monsters were imprisoned.

Before the death of the three great ancestors of Mingyuan Sect, they spared no effort and almost dragged Qixia Yuanjun into hell with them.

When the Gate of Life and Death was in great trouble, Lord Youli killed millions of cultivators with one strike.

It can be seen that any holy place has a foundation that is enough to last for thousands of years!
Just for a momentary impulse, Qixia Yuanjun dared to take such a risk?
It must be because the captured Qing He Xian was of great use to her, that she was willing to take the risk and do it herself.

And what is the use of this?
The answer has now emerged.

"Is everything done to deal with that giant being in Zhongzhou?"

Luo Chen recalled the scene he had caught a glimpse of, and became more certain of his guess.

Gathering the four wild beasts and attracting boundless thunder calamity, all this was definitely not accidental.

So in this case, will Tianyuan Taoist Sect follow in the footsteps of Yuanmo and Mingyuan?

Luo Chen pursed his lips, his face extremely serious.

I don't remember seeing the five legendary Taoist elders.

According to the intelligence previously gathered by Xiongyue Zombie Alliance, the five great ancestors of Dao Sect who had reached the state of transformation into gods each presided over a battlefield, with only Sect Master Mo Shouzhuo staying in Zhongzhou.

However, Luo Chen did not dare to underestimate the powerful figures walking out of the Star Gate of Tiandi Peak in the picture.

"The Mysterious Realm Secret Records records the general situation of the Tianyuan Dao Sect in the Xuan Realm. The sect master, Tianyuan Dazun, is at the real fusion realm, and the four holy spirit elders under his command are even true masters of refining emptiness. There are hundreds of powerful people who have reached the state of transformation into spirits!"

"And according to Lord Youli, the only sect in the Mountain and Sea Realm that can still communicate with the upper realm is the Tianyuan Dao Sect."

"In this life-and-death catastrophe, it is only natural to seek help from the main sect of the upper realm."

"The powerful beings I saw who were comparable to the gods should be the reinforcements sent by the Tianyuan Dao Sect in the upper realm."

"With such strong support, can Qixia Yuanjun destroy Tianyuan Dao Sect and even escape unscathed?"

"the most important is……"

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind was full of thoughts, countless ideas burst out, and he muttered to himself.

"What is her purpose?"

On the lonely Soul Island, no one answered Luo Chen's question. Only the previously quiet Yellow Springs Sea roared endlessly, creating huge waves.

Luo Chen tried to connect all the information he knew to analyze Qixia Yuanjun's actions.

From the East Wilderness to the North Sea, and then to the Southern Border, and even the Western Desert that had never been set foot on, all the information, big and small, was put together, but no matter how hard one tried to think about it, it was difficult to piece together a clue.

"After all, my realm is not high enough!"

A sigh was heard faintly.

He believed that the ascended Lord Youli must know some inside information.

Even the reason why the other party was so kind to him might be related to Qixia Yuanjun. After all, his magical powers and the Holy Fire of Nirvana in his body could not be hidden from the peak existence of that realm.

If I could reach the state of transformation, perhaps I would know some secrets.

"That's it!"

Luo Chen paused slightly, turned around and walked down the mountain towards the cave.

As the Yellow Spring Sea surges, the best opportunity for him to leave this Soul Island has arrived.

It's time to make some preparations! (End of this chapter)
