Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

"There are more and more ghosts in the Nether Abyss!"

This was Luo Chen’s first discovery after leaving Dan Sheng Fudi.

I thought that after being swept away by Qixia Yuanjun, there were not so many powerful ghosts in the abyss, either injured, dead or in hiding.

But the reality is not so!

A large number of low-level ghosts were wandering around, and from time to time they passed by Luo Chen who had hidden his breath.

There are even ghost kings comparable to the Jindan stage who appear frequently.

Luo Chen only saw these new ghosts a few times before he understood their origins.

"Human race!"

"From the Mingyuan Sect!"

Yes, the great battle of incarnation that spread across the Mingyuan Holy Land affected all the disciples of the Mingyuan Sect.

Many cultivators were swept away by the aftermath of the powerful force while they were unaware and turned to ashes.

However, because the attack methods of Qixia Yuanjun and others were not mainly aimed at them, the souls of many people were lucky enough to be preserved.

Now, two years have passed, and those confused souls have gradually awakened, becoming part of the endless ghosts in the abyss of the underworld.

"I wonder if any of the Yuanying Zhenren of Mingyuan Sect have preserved their souls?"

Luo Chen was even more curious about this.

There are three different thresholds for a cultivator to transform into a ghost cultivator, which is related to the cultivator's realm in his previous life.

They are unable to maintain their own memories and consciousness, and are often stupid and chaotic.

Like Bai Meiling, if she hadn't met Luo Chen, she might never have been able to embark on the normal path of ghost cultivation in her entire life.

The second threshold is the Nascent Soul stage.

At this time, the cultivator's soul can reside in the Nascent Soul. Even if the physical body collapses, the soul will still have a place to reside.

Relatively speaking, it is much easier for them to transform into ghost cultivators. They don’t even have to go through the initial stage of confusion and can remain completely sane.

They even have the ability to take over the bodies of normal living people and resume the path of cultivation.

Han Zhan in the past was the best example.

Luo Chen was not sure whether there were any ghosts transformed from the souls of the Mingyuan Sect's Nascent Soul True Person in the Netherworld Abyss, but he thought that even if there were, there would not be many.

With Qixia Yuanjun's ruthless methods, anyone who dares to provoke her Nascent Soul powerhouse will surely die and his soul will be destroyed.

As for the third threshold?

Luo Chen wasn't very clear about it either, he had only seen some descriptions in ancient books.

Some powerful beings, even if their bodies are destroyed, their souls can live forever.

At this time, they have two choices.

One is to transform and cultivate as a ghost, and the other is to retain a bit of spiritual consciousness and fall back into reincarnation to be reborn through another fetus.

Especially the latter, once successful, they will have innate wisdom. After awakening, relying on the experience and knowledge of the previous life, the speed of practice will be extremely fast.

With these random thoughts in mind, Luo Chen continued on his way.

After he was far away from Dan Sheng's blessed land, he stopped and stared at the sky with his golden eyes.

“It’s time to go up and take a look!”

Without thinking, he rushed to the surface of the water like an arrow.

There is a golden flame suppressing the abyss, preventing any existence from leaving.

This was also one of the main reasons why Luo Chen was trapped before.

But this time!

laugh!

A wisp of the same golden flame emerged from Luo Chen's body, circling and wrapping around Luo Chen's entire body.

Then...swish!

The fish leaps into the blue sky and reappears on earth.

Luo Chen lowered his head and looked downward, and he couldn't help but gasp at the first glance.

Everywhere you look, there are countless golden flames burning slowly for thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.

Gulp.

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva, feeling unbelievable.

"How profound is Qixia Yuanjun's magical power that he can stimulate the Nirvana Holy Fire to such a vast area and suppress the Netherworld Abyss with his own strength!"

He thought to himself that even if he achieved the Divine Transformation Realm in the future and activated the Divine Fire of Withering and Flourishing, it would at most cover an area of ​​ten thousand miles.

Not to mention the magnificent sight that stretches as far as the eye can see.

As for now?

Luo Chen tried his best, even if his Nascent Soul collapsed, it was estimated that the withering and flourishing divine fire would only cover a few hundred miles.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen stopped thinking about others and found a direction and flew quickly.

At the gap in the water where he rushed out.

A group of ghosts gradually gathered together. After some hesitation and curiosity, a Golden Core Ghost King couldn't help himself anymore.

I saw it swimming quietly upwards, and when it reached the gap, it jumped with all its might.

Then, screams were heard that shook all the ghosts underwater.

Golden flames spread and the gap closed.

The so-called Golden Elixir Ghost King has turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into nothingness.

…

Two days later.

Luo Chen stopped in mid-air with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

He dared not move, as if someone had cast a spell to freeze him, and he just stood there quietly in mid-air.

On the left hand, his bare chest was exposed, with a thin red line on it.

As for the sleeves that were as white as frost and snow, they had disappeared.

You know, this Taoist robe is the Snow Frost Robe awarded to him by the Mingyuan Sect.

Although it is just clothes for alchemists to wear to prevent them from being infected by fire poison during long-term alchemy, its grade is not low at all and is at the level of a real weapon!

But without encountering any enemies, the sleeves were gone.

Not only that, even Luo Chen's extremely powerful arm was cut off at the root.

If Luo Chen had not reacted quickly enough, stopped his forward momentum, and used his magic power to roll back the broken arm, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as breaking the sleeve and the hand.

The source of power flowed, the red line disappeared, and the left hand returned to normal.

Luo Chen's eyes were fixed on the void, where several black lines were faintly visible, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

"Space crack!"

Luo Chen gritted his teeth and spat out these four words like soybeans.

He was not unfamiliar with this strange phenomenon.

When Qixia Yuanjun struck down Mount Yamafu with one blow, the terrifying force shook the void, revealing tiny cracks in space.

But he didn't expect that even though the war was over, there were still space cracks here.

And their number is quite large, and even not very stable. Sometimes they appear and sometimes they disappear, making it difficult to guard against.

Was it left by Qixia Yuanjun?

Or was it because of the fierce battles between the mighty gods that made this world unable to bear it?

Luo Chen didn't know.

He only knew that the road above the abyss was not easy to walk on.

It may even be more dangerous than the abyss.

"and!"

Luo Chen frowned and looked up into the sky.

Dark clouds gathered there, and flashes of lightning appeared from time to time.

"Why do thunderclouds last so long?"

This time, he was able to see some clues.

Luo Chen murmured, "Formation?"

It's not just a formation, but a formation that's out of control!

Luo Chen remembered something.

Ye Lingtian once said that the Mingyuan sect’s protective formation incorporated the methods of ancestors from past generations.

Among them is the magical power of the mighty Bai Ye, called the Nine Heavens Universal Thunder Technique.

Lei Daozi even relied on his accumulation of this technique to break through to the level of Qixia Yuanjun.

Now that the Mingyuan Sect has been destroyed, the protective formation should have also perished with it.

But based on Luo Chen's knowledge of formations, this formation was not set up with people as the basis, but with the earth as the foundation.

As long as the Netherworld Abyss is still there, the formation foundation will not collapse.

However, due to the lack of human control, the remaining formation lost control and was unrestrainedly drawing the power of thunder between heaven and earth.

"Another Jilei Jiushan!"

Luo Chen sighed and when he saw that the space crack had dissipated a lot, he continued to fly.

But the speed is much slower than before.

Even compared to the speed of the foundation-building cultivators, it is not much better.

He really didn't dare to touch the space crack again.

If you fail to react in time, it won’t be as simple as breaking your hand.

If his entire body was sucked in, even if he had self-healing abilities comparable to those of wild beasts, he would probably be crushed into pieces in an instant and would never be able to recover.

In this situation, powerful spiritual awareness is useless.

The space cracks are not living creatures. They have no breath, no spiritual fluctuations, and they don’t even have substance like rocks and trees.

What can people perceive when they are in the void?

Fortunately, Luo Chen has a pair of red eyes and golden pupils!

As long as you watch carefully enough, there is no big danger.

Moreover, while observing the appearance of space cracks day after day, Luo Chen gradually noticed some clues.

"If we compare this world to a big house, the cracks in the space are caused by the instability of the walls, roof, foundation and tiles."

"Their appearance is not without warning."

"Often before it is generated, there will be extremely weak spatial fluctuations, which will then cause a chain reaction and form it."

After discovering this, Luo Chen was inexplicably happy!

Because he once had a powerful enemy who left him helpless, and he was extremely proficient in this escape technique.

With the power of space, it appears and disappears mysteriously, making it impossible to figure out and find.

Whenever they encounter that person, all enemies can only passively take the beating, but that person's attack methods are simple and unpretentious yet irresistibly powerful.

"If I am familiar with this kind of spatial fluctuation, will I not be so passive next time I meet Qing Shuang?"

Today, the relationship between Cangwu Mountain and Luo Chen has eased a lot and is not so irreconcilable.

There was no deep hatred between Qingshuang and him.

But Luo Chen really doesn't like the feeling of being powerless and being completely suppressed.

Qixia Yuanjun was too far away from him, and there was no room for him to even consider her as an imaginary enemy.

But Qingshuang is at the same Nascent Soul stage as him after all.

Luo Chen felt that he would be able to fight against any strong man of the same level, but in front of Qingshuang, even if he self-destructed his Nascent Soul, he might not be able to stop the opponent.

How could he be willing?

When another space crack appeared, Luo Chen stopped.

Still on guard, but with a little more observation.

Even when he felt his eyes were dry, he would take the initiative to drop two drops of Jade Emperor Clearing Eyes Liquid into them.

“People walk in the sky and fish swim in the water.”

"Fish don't know it, people are used to it."

"But when water moves, there are waves, and when people move, there should also be a sense of spatial change."

"It's just because we are too weak and can't understand the true meaning of the laws of space, so we can't feel the changes in that space."

"Everyone is like this, and so am I. But looking at it now, this change seems to be somewhat related to the void restriction among the seven basic restrictions of the formation."

The seven basic prohibitions of the formation - mountains, rivers, wind, clouds, dark, bright, and empty.

It is best to get started with landscape prohibition as an entity.

The restrictions of wind and cloud are unpredictable, but at least you can feel and watch it, so it is not too difficult.

The Dark and Bright Restrictions are more in the realm of the soul. Luo Chen was best at the Dark and Bright Restrictions in his early years.

Only the space restriction is the most difficult and hard for ordinary people to learn.

It was not until Luo Chen became a fourth-rank formation master and created the "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Teleportation Formation" that he gained some insights.

Now, using space restrictions as a stepping stone, it seems that we have found a way to understand the birth, appearance, existence and even the final disappearance of these space cracks.

Just when Luo Chen was concentrating on his research.

suddenly!

A flash of white light.

"not good!"

Luo Chen left a soul to pay attention to the outside world, and naturally he noticed something was wrong.

There was a loud thunder falling from the sky!

Normally, he could have easily evaded it.

But at this moment, there are space cracks all around that have just appeared, so how can we just barge in?

The only way is to take it head-on!

Luo Chen looked calm as he cast a spell towards the sky.

The Seven Rings of Blazing Sky!

Rings of fire suddenly appeared, but disappeared instantly under the bombardment of thunder.

Luo Chen was not surprised, as this was the upper limit of this defensive spell.

If you want to withstand the thunder brought by the Nine Heavens Universal Thunder Technique, you will have to use more strength.

Fire Phoenix spreads across the prairie!

A phoenix shadow rose up from behind him and collided with the thunder.

It sounds complicated, but in fact it happens in a flash.

After two consecutive moves, the thunder slowly dissipated.

The deafening thunder exploded in my ears at this moment.

Luo Chen's whole body trembled, but there were still traces of electric light flashing on his body.

Obviously, it is not so easy to catch the lightning falling from the sky.

This is without any human control.

It is hard to imagine what kind of destructive power would have been caused if someone tried to force their way into the sect protection formation when the Mingyuan Sect was at its peak and the great power of the Divine Transformation personally activated the magical powers within.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for Qixia Yuanjun to cross the Netherworld abyss under that pressure?

The magic power was activated, and frost and snow spread out from the frost clothes on his body, forcing out the remaining power of thunder and lightning.

Just when Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his pupils shrank instantly.

Because of the commotion just now, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth became even more chaotic.

The batch of space cracks that had just appeared seemed to be affected. Due to the chain reaction, they grew inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In particular, there was a crack above, which was about seven or eight feet long and spread towards Luo Chen.

Without thinking, Luo Chen fell down.

It fell into the sea with a tremendous force.

Plop!

Amid the surging waves, Luo Chen's figure disappeared in this world.

The space cracks around him were like a spider web, and they did not dissipate for a long time even after Luo Chen left.

Seeing such a scene, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would try to avoid it as much as possible.

The Netherworld Abyss used to be a forbidden area, but now, after the Great War of Incarnation, the Netherworld Abyss has become a desolate place!

A desperate place where it is difficult for life to survive!

Luo Chen had no time to observe all this.

Because at this moment, he was holding his breath and looking into the depths of darkness.

A pair of eyes as big as lanterns, glowing blood red, stared at him intently! (End of this chapter)
