Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2692 - 994: Buddhist Forbidden Curse, Transmitting Truth Hall Master

Transmitting Truth Hall!

Luo Chen raised his eyes to the plaque hanging high above the hall, waves of emotion flickering across his face.

He had visited Cangwu Mountain a total of three times, lodging here on each occasion. It felt as though some destiny was pulling the strings.

Youquan led the way ahead. They traversed the main hall, snaking through multiple layers of palaces, toward a route Luo Chen recognized well.

It was the very spot from his last stay, the cave dwelling he had occupied before.

Sure enough, shortly thereafter, he returned to that familiar cave dwelling.

"Settle down here for now and await Yuan Jun’s instructions." Youquan eyed Luo Chen with a complicated gaze, his stare seeming to probe deep inside.

Luo Chen understood that departing Cangwu Mountain would prove difficult, so despite his burning desire to leave, he held his tongue.

Just as Youquan prepared to depart, Luo Chen put forward a request that fell flat.

"Intelligence on the Mountain Sea Realm?" Youquan let out a faint snort. "Just wait!"

Luo Chen felt powerless, unsure if Youquan would truly hand over the information.

He chose not to push, merely wishing to avoid venturing out in total ignorance.

With Youquan gone, Luo Chen stepped into the cave dwelling brimming with spirit qi.

The instant he entered, the accustomed layout and furnishings appeared before him, barely altered since his previous departure.

This spot rivaled Vice Hall Master Youquan’s own and trailed only the fabled cave of Transmitting Truth Hall’s chief master, yet it remained perpetually unoccupied.

"Convenient, indeed!"

Luo Chen gave a light chuckle and got comfortable.

The clash at Glazed Pure Land had elevated his demonic power to fame and clinched several triumphs, though it hadn’t been nearly as smooth as it looked.

The exhaustion of his qi power and origin force stood impossible to hide.

Securing this superior spirit vein for recovery was akin to finding a pillow at the onset of sleepiness.

In the days that followed, Luo Chen remained indoors, dedicating himself to replenishing his qi power inside the cave dwelling.

Youquan made an appearance during this stretch, his demeanor sour as he passed along a jade slip.

That slip held fresh intel on the Mountain Sea Realm, spotlighting Eastern Wasteland and Zhongzhou while noting major incidents elsewhere too.

It highlighted Cangwu Mountain’s formidable intelligence network!

Having pored over it completely, Luo Chen gained a solid grasp of the Mountain Sea Realm’s current landscape.

After regaining roughly seventy to eighty percent of his strength, Luo Chen embarked on a fresh pursuit.

"The Moonlight Heart-Clearing Mantra"

Luo Chen stared at the jade slip clutched in his hand, murmuring softly.

This formed a portion of the reward from Master Xuan Du.

Master Xuan Du had stated that the incantation boasted the extraordinary ability to forcefully solidify the primordial spirit—a precious Hanging Temple art for brushing against divine transformation’s gateway.

Owing to the hazards of compelling primordial spirit consolidation, it once earned the label of Buddhist forbidden curse, restricted to those with robust divine souls despite its modest rank.

Luo Chen’s exceptional divine soul aptitude allowed him to overlook such limits with ease.

"If the solidified primordial spirit turns out sturdy and dependable, maybe I can sidestep the peril of reclaiming my life soul from Tianyuan Daoist Sect and charge directly toward divine transformation ahead."

Tianyuan Daoist Sect represented a realm of utter danger.

For millennia, none but Qi Xia Emperor had dared assault its mountain gate.

Barring necessity, Luo Chen had no intent to court that hazard.

The Moonlight Heart-Clearing Mantra stood as one of his fallback options.

Under the cover of night, following intensive review, Luo Chen set about cultivating this method.

All sentient beings are troubled, all troubles are painful.

Trouble neither arises nor ceases, neither defiles nor purifies, neither increases nor decreases.

The form arises from the formless, ability begets inaction, presence returns to absence.

The divine is born from the heart, when the heart is clear, the spirit settles itself. Troubles do not attach to the body, nor hinder the heart; this is the mystery of transforming the illusory divine soul into a tangible primordial spirit.

"Namo, Haradnaya, Doryaya... Bodhisattva Maha Satva..."

Early attempts at cultivation brimmed with hurdles.

Unfamiliar with Buddhist chants, Luo Chen struggled immensely to rouse divine soul power through recitation.

Yet steady repetition rendered the mantra ever smoother, steadily bettering his state.

His turbulent heart even began to quieten gradually.

Beyond the cave lay profound midnight stillness.

A slender crescent moon bathed the mountains in its expansive light, weaving an ethereal spell over Luo Chen’s cave dwelling like a vision from a dream.

From a hundred miles away, a pair of cold, emotionless eyes fixed upon Transmitting Truth Hall’s position.

...

Half a month afterward.

Gazing upon his attribute panel and the fresh addition, Luo Chen’s face lit with contentment.

Moonlight Heart-Clearing Mantra mastered!

Though shy of fully consolidating the primordial spirit, it proved sufficient.

Steadfast cultivation would propel him beyond that barrier when the right moment struck.

Besides, amid these cultivation days, he uncovered the mantra’s added benefit of tempering the divine soul.

At Soulbreak Cliff, devouring excessive soul stones had spiked his divine soul dramatically.

Pure as those soul stones were, devoid of taint, the abrupt expansion still sparked inner turmoil and a short fuse.

This mantra aptly quelled the mind and scattered that disquiet.

For that merit alone, Luo Chen’s purposeful practice hadn’t been squandered.

"Could this mantra perhaps merge into the Dust Origin Technique down the line?" Luo Chen pondered.

As his cultivation realm climbed, the Dust Origin Technique from his early days had utterly failed to keep up.

Despite weaving in aids like Wind-Calming Wave to banish stray thoughts, its base order remained too humble.

Conversely, soul-refining arts from Soul Cleaving Technique and Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Technique soared too high, clashing with Dust Origin Technique’s framework.
