Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2542 - 934: Earth Treasure Rest Soil, Emergence of the Old Monster

"Bring it out!"

Luo Chen felt no astonishment toward the Black King’s strong urge to flatter him.

This fellow simply adores pulling off stunts like this.

During the last chase after the Demon Emperor, as others scrambled to trace the Great Demon’s path, the Black King had slyly slipped into the Dieyun Sect and swiped him several dozen pots of premium liquor.

It’s happening again this round.

Still, given True Master Shenyuan’s formidable strength, the Black King held back from overdoing it and simply grabbed a few valuable items from Shenyuan Peak.

A burst of dark glow erupted from the Black King’s jaws, and Luo Chen’s spiritual sense delved inside.

Volumes upon volumes!

Countless tomes crammed together, reaching into the hundreds or even thousands.

Several qualified as ancient scrolls, yet plenty of recent editions mingled in too.

Luo Chen grabbed one at random and flipped through it, only to find himself drawn right in without realizing.

"Detailed Analysis of the Five Elements Technique"

Moments later, he pulled his focus from the volume, a spark of respect appearing on his expression despite himself.

"I figured Shenyuan grasped the Five Elements Technique deeply, but I never imagined it ran this profound. Insights and concepts fill every technique variant and level, and in battle, they blend seamlessly to boost the might tremendously."

"Plus, from these writings, it’s clear they date back to his initial Nascent Soul period. What a prodigy of his era!"

While praising inwardly, Luo Chen swept his eyes over the other headings quickly.

"Yangyi Dao Skill·Supplement"

"Kongming Sword Manual"

"Seven True Jiedan Skill"

"Five Elements Divine Pill"

...

The overwhelming array of titles almost blinded Luo Chen with their variety.

In contrast to typical advanced cultivators who hoard only elite dao laws, True Master Shenyuan’s collection featured numerous intermediate and basic cultivation methods as well.

Take "Seven True Jiedan Skill," for instance, which detailed seven superior core formation secrets—it was right there.

Beyond that, the "Slaying Dragon Technique" Luo Chen had trained in his beginner days actually appeared too!

As he browsed it lightly, Luo Chen was shocked to uncover that the soul-severing divine ability he unlocked upon completion was something Shenyuan had foreseen.

Back then, Shenyuan tested it repeatedly without success, eventually just theorizing about it before dropping further development.

Who would have thought Luo Chen would prove that theory correct in the end.

Gazing at the abundance of literature, Luo Chen’s spirits lifted noticeably.

Absorbing all this material would not just expand his horizons immensely but also propel him forward hugely in the Technique Dao!

The fact that True Master Shenyuan, lacking insight into law true intents, could unleash techniques rivaling divine powers highlighted his exceptional talent in this area.

For average folks, such resources might offer little benefit.

Yet for Luo Chen, they hit the spot perfectly, just like finding a soft cushion when drowsy.

"Perhaps with these, I can forge a divine power tailored to my Dao of Fire?"

Luo Chen whispered to himself, brimming with anticipation.

This differed from his grasp of the Withering and Flourishing true intent, where he spontaneously awakened the divine power Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger; after fathoming the Fire Origin in the Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land, Luo Chen hadn’t acquired a matching divine power.

Truth be told, that’s the usual case!

Across the ages, countless individuals have seized law true intents.

Divine power abilities typically arise from mighty experts who gradually distill and refine them via vast cultivation experience, transforming standard techniques into formidable arts.

In particular, the Five Elements Origin, as one of the most elemental law true intents, merely grants a cultivator its core principles, leaving the fitting divine powers to personal invention or ancestral guidance.

Consider the Daoist Sect geniuses in the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven who attained law true intents—they didn’t invent any divine powers independently either.

Afterward, they acquired potent divine powers from sect grants, legacies of their forebears.

As for their compatibility, Luo Chen had no clue.

Still, since crafting divine powers demands ages, Luo Chen stayed patient.

With a sweep, he tucked away the entire stack of texts, then gave the robust scaly back of the Black King a friendly slap.

"Got anything else?"

The Black King paused in surprise, then let out a hearty laugh.

"I figured the master’s keen sight would spot it right away."

With those words, yet another clump of shadowy radiance poured from his maw.

Yet now, the dazzling five-hued radiance defied containment, even against the Black King’s innate power.

Luo Chen’s eyes sharpened, murmuring softly: "Five-colored Pagoda!"

Sure enough, it was True Master Shenyuan’s core magic artifact!

Amid that epic clash, Shenyuan wielded few magic items, just a pair.

One being the crystal flying sword, the other this very pagoda.

The first shattered beneath the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, whereas the second clashed intensely with Luo Chen’s lifebound treasure, the Primordial Chaos Tripod, for an extended bout before slipping free to aid Shenyuan in executing a devastating joint technique.

This underscored the pagoda’s exceptional caliber!

Most strikingly, much like his own Primordial Chaos Tripod, this artifact embodied the full spectrum of the Five Elements.

"Shenyuan and I share so much in common. We both bear the Five Spirit Roots Constitution, and our selected natal magic items mirror each other too."

Amid his reflective sigh, Luo Chen claimed the Five-colored Pagoda and inspected it thoroughly.

Right then, with its master fallen, the treasure suffered heavy harm from the soul-bond severance.

Arrays lay in ruins, and wisps of spirit qi escaped uncontrollably.

That was the key clue alerting Luo Chen that the Black King had pocketed this treasure in secret.

Through his probing study, Luo Chen gradually unveiled some of the artifact’s wondrous features.

Echoing the Primordial Chaos Tripod, its core role centered on suppression!

This resemblance highlighted how Shenyuan and Luo Chen’s initial cultivation paths aligned closely.

Cultivators with Five Spirit Roots wield vast mana reserves, yet their practice often draws in impure spirit qi blends.

Thus, beyond combat roles, a natal magic item needed to quell mana turbulence and purge its contaminants efficiently.

"At full strength, this treasure’s worth rivals the Primordial Chaos Tripod easily—it’s such a shame..."
