Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2733 - 1009: One Hundred Thousand Ghost Cultivators Aid Cultivation, Moonlight Clear Heart Condenses Primordial Spirit (Part 2)

Over a year of relentless turmoil had finally ushered in peace to Elixir Mountain.

Luo Chen maintained a serene expression, but uncertainties churned deep inside as he gazed quietly at the unstored Primordial Chaos Tripod.

"Senior Brother Luo Chen, your Pill Refinement this time was clearly a resounding success, so why do you still look a bit down?"

A soft and refined voice sounded from nearby, and Luo Chen didn't turn his head, already aware it belonged to Cang Long.

He pressed his lips together and extended his hand to reclaim the Primordial Chaos Tripod, still emitting faint warmth.

"Just some cultivation-related doubts, nothing to dwell on."

Turning to face her, Luo Chen eyed Cang Long with curiosity. "Is there something you need, Junior Sister?"

This time, Cang Long faltered.

Confused, Luo Chen observed as she parted her delicate lips only to seal them again, repeating the motion several times in silence.

This reluctance didn't resemble the Cang Long Fairy Luo Chen knew well.

He could only offer a smile. "If there's anything you need help with, just say it. If not now, who knows when you'll see me again."

Cang Long hesitated briefly before countering, "You've only just come back, and you're already planning to leave?"

Luo Chen flicked his sleeves, shaking off the stubborn traces of smoke and fire from his extended Pill Refinement.

As he strode toward the Dan Dust Hall, he continued, "I will leave, but not immediately. I'm entering prolonged closed-door cultivation soon, and I've settled all sect matters, big or small."

He winked. "Really nothing at all, Junior Sister?"

Cang Long tightened her lovely lips.

Luo Chen grinned. "Then until next time!"

With those words, he entered the tranquil Dan Dust Hall.

A single sleeve sweep caused the heavy doors to close gradually.

Gazing at his receding figure, Cang Long felt her shoulders drop unexpectedly, like a weight lifted in relief.

...

Upon returning to the Dan Dust Hall, Luo Chen didn't dive straight into seclusion but first enjoyed a solid rest.

This rest spanned three full days and nights.

When he roused, renewed vigor coursed through him.

The exhaustion from recent Pill Refinements had vanished completely.

Inside the hall.

Luo Chen settled cross-legged on the meditation mat and channeled Qi into the hall's central core.

In an instant!

Buzzing...

A muffled hum resounded, turning the dimly lit hall ablaze with light.

Array lines shimmered to life, nodes expelled Spirit Qi, and Elixir Mountain's Spirit Qi surged toward the Dan Dust Hall—even nearby major Spirit Veins channeled their energy here.

Min Longyu had personally arranged this setup with others during Luo Chen's decade-plus absence, granting him the finest cultivation setup.

After briefly assessing the Spirit Qi density, satisfaction lit Luo Chen's face.

Though inferior to Cangwu Mountain's Fourth-Tier Top-Grade Cave Mansion, it reached Fourth-Tier Middle Grade standards.

"However, it is still not enough!"

With a mere thought, Luo Chen produced the Ten Thousand Array Gu and activated a mighty Gathering Spirit Array.

This boost dramatically amplified the Spirit Qi gathering speed and scope.

Centered on Elixir Mountain, Spirit Veins across a ten-thousand-mile radius awoke as if beckoned, flooding the hall with rich Spirit Qi.

"With this concentration, it is comparable to a Fourth-Order Superior Grade Cave Mansion!"

Preparations complete, Luo Chen withdrew the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Clang!

Eyes fixed on the gray cauldron, Luo Chen's face turned contemplative.

"Should I refine the Ming Water Spring Eye now?"

Though uncertain, Luo Chen opted to test it first.

He summoned his Qi, unleashing a torrent of fierce flames that engulfed the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Inside the tripod, the calm spring eye quaked wildly, as if facing a deadly predator.

Refining the spring eye didn't mean obliterating it entirely, but purging the consciousness strand it birthed and supplanting it with one's own Divine Consciousness.

Thus, complete mastery over the Ming Water Spring Eye could be achieved.

The Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire served only as an external pressure; the refinement's core targeted the Divine Soul!

Unwavering, Luo Chen, supported by his main soul and eight major souls, thrust his Divine Consciousness into the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

In that moment, Luo Chen's expression rigidified.

Time flowed swiftly.

Roughly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed, and suddenly a red flush surged across Luo Chen’s rigid face.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood erupted from his lips, the flames blazed even fiercer, and Luo Chen’s eyes snapped wide open.

As he brushed away the blood staining the edge of his mouth, a hint of grimness crept into Luo Chen’s features.

Failed!

The result was anticipated, yet it still caught him off guard.

Beneath the Primordial Chaos Tripod’s unyielding suppression, the Ming Water Spring Eye truly had no way to break free.

However, the moment he sought to erode its consciousness, a ferocious backlash assaulted him, with that consciousness even attempting to taint and devour his Divine Soul.

Refusing to bow to defeat, Luo Chen unleashed his vast Divine Soul Endowment against it, but ultimately came up short.

"Could this be the reason the Wang Ghost Emperor met his downfall?"

Without enough Divine Soul power, no amount of quantity could grind away that primordial consciousness born of heaven and earth.

Luo Chen sank into deep thought once more.

A good while later, the grim look on his face slowly dissipated.

Swallowing a top-grade Soul Pill stored at the Luo Tian Sect, Luo Chen replenished his Divine Soul Endowment, and color gradually returned to his face.

"If the power falls short, then boost it higher!"

"If Divine Consciousness lacks enough, switch to Divine Perception; if Nascent Soul fails, call upon the Primordial Spirit!"

"I’ve got cultivation methods ready for this very purpose!"

Muttering under his breath, Luo Chen started reciting Buddhist scriptures.

This was the Moonlight Purifying Heart Spell passed down by Master Xuan Du of the Glazed Pure Land, a technique that could forcefully purify the Divine Soul and solidify the Primordial Spirit.

In that instant, amid the recitation, the eight major souls within his Sea of Consciousness rushed toward the primary soul to fuse, forming in a flash a colossal golden giant that towered as if cleaving apart the heavens and earth.
