Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2543 - 934: Earth Treasure Rest Soil, Emergence of the Old Monster (Part 2)

Luo Chen shook his head before hurling the Five-colored Pagoda outward.

This artifact had endured grave damage, offering him scant benefit now.

Even if restored, it might reclaim just a third of its former might, yet the effort and time required would prove excessive.

At present, Luo Chen possessed no shortage of such valuable artifacts.

The Black King’s gaze lit up immediately upon seeing it.

However, before he could claim the pagoda, it whirled around and returned to Luo Chen’s grasp.

"Master?"

Luo Chen paid no heed to his confusion.

For in that instant, Luo Chen’s full focus rested entirely on the Five-colored Pagoda.

He not only probed it with his Divine Consciousness and channeled Qi Power into it, but also unleashed a series of Dao Law Methods from his fingertips toward it.

As these Dao Law Methods activated, the ruined array within began to stir faintly.

Although its response came slowly, Luo Chen remained unconcerned.

What truly mattered to him was something else!

A strand of Prosperity and Decline Fire appeared, settling onto the pagoda and igniting gradually.

Owing to the might of this Fifth-Order Divine Fire, the Black King refrained from any fuss and instead hurried southward while carrying Luo Chen.

It was only after some time that Luo Chen’s voice, tinged with faint joy, murmured from his back once more.

"Almost missed it!"

"Who would have thought Shenyuan would go to such lengths, embedding a tiny fragment of Rest Soil into his Natal Magic Item during its forging!"

He held no doubt—through numerous Tool Casting Technique trials, he had undoubtedly sensed Rest Soil within the Five-colored Pagoda.

Though the trace was subtle, it likely amounted to no more than the size of a fingernail.

Yet this was the legendary Rest Soil!

Myths proclaim that even a mere sliver of Rest Soil can halt raging floods and reclaim vast oceans!

Of course, the fragment hidden in the Five Elements Treasure Tower paled in comparison to those in ancient tales.

Still, no matter what, its core nature stayed unaltered.

It remained Rest Soil at heart!

The primordial source of Trace Mud, Proliferation Soil, and various superior earth-based substances.

Treasures of the earth like this proved incredibly rare, a fact Luo Chen knew all too well.

The "Tianrang" he had observed in the Land of Fallen Demons years ago served as an incomplete version, crafted by the Demon Monarch through gathering heaps of earth materials and employing Earth Origin True Intent to mimic the reverse forging of Rest Soil.

This highlighted how even a mighty Demon Monarch had failed to obtain it, underscoring the extraordinary luck of True Master Shenyuan in incorporating such a substance into his Natal Magic Item.

"I wonder how he acquired it?"

The notion passed through his mind briefly, nothing more.

Excitement now dominated Luo Chen’s thoughts, leaving no room for further speculation.

Back when Tian Yezi forged the Primordial Chaos Tripod for him, the elder had remarked that infusing a supreme earth treasure like Rest Soil into it would elevate its perfection to new heights!

Precisely how much, Luo Chen couldn’t say, but he was certain it would at least avert the previous disaster of his Natal Magic Item fracturing.

"What a steal for me, haha!"

As laughter echoed, Luo Chen, though unable to fully recover his condition, summoned his freshly replenished Qi Power to propel the Prosperity and Decline True Fire into an opulent refining of the Five-colored Pagoda.

His plan was to dismantle every array on the structure, strip away the worthless components, and isolate the essential original materials he desired.

Rest Soil stood as the prime objective!

Yet any other elements compatible with the Rest Soil surely ranked high in quality as well.

If they proved fitting, Luo Chen planned to retain them too.

Afterward, through Tool Casting Technique, he would fuse them into the Primordial Chaos Tripod, thus bolstering the core strength of his Natal Magic Item.

The Black King, sensing the actions from his back, quickly grasped his master’s aims.

A hidden pang of sorrow stirred within him.

This had been a prize he snatched from the chaos of battle.

The subtle aura of Rest Soil it held drew him instinctively, especially after merging with the Desolate Beast Stone Dragon Remnant Soul.

"Oh well, it’s ruined regardless—let Master enjoy it; I have plenty of other finds!"

The Black King consoled himself with such thoughts, pressing onward with Luo Chen aboard, the outlines of the Southern Frontier drawing ever nearer.

...

The title Mountain Sea Realm had echoed through tales for ages.

It stemmed from the realm’s endless peaks and boundless waters, giving rise to its evocative name.

This vast domain split into Five Continents: East, South, West, North, and Center.

But that scarcely captured the full scope of Mountain Sea Realm; the division simply reflected the dense clusters of Human Clan dwellers across these lands for mapping purposes.

Beyond the Five Continents stretched the Million Mountains, the Endless Demon Sea, and the rarely ventured Barbaric Land.

Why, then, did Southern Frontier hold such enigma for cultivators from the Outer Continent?

It wasn’t solely the odd temperaments of its inhabitants, which kept outsiders at arm’s length, but also the continent’s landscape, riddled with innate obstacles that thwarted the bold ventures of lesser cultivators.

For example, the South Ocean teemed with myriad Gu Insects, severing ties between south and north.

Meanwhile, in the vital juncture linking Southeast and Southwest, a perilous expanse known as "Mist Wilderness" defied easy passage.

Southern Frontier brimmed with towering ranges, shrouded in persistent dampness, where miasma drifted freely, pooling amid peaks, woods, and wilds to birth enormous mists.

These veils of fog didn’t merely obscure vision; they concealed deadly poisons, rendering defense a nightmare.

Thus, low-order cultivators shunned their depths, much less attempted to cross them.

Yet to the cultivation circles of Southern Border, this Mist Wilderness—deemed a hazard by Outer Continent folk—served as a veritable trove!

In places where mortals feared to tread, riches of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures flourished unchecked!

Furthermore, with no meddlers to disturb them, these wonders matured into even greater rarities across the epochs.

As a result, the Southern Border Cultivation World eventually birthed a specialized trade—Mountain Seeker!

True to its name, such individuals hunted for hidden gems amid the mountains.
