Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2758 - 1019: Leaving the Abyss, Climbing the Mountain—Three Promises

Crack!

Snap!

Thunder rumbled repeatedly.

White lightning illuminated the vast waters with each flash.

Within the abyssal darkness of the Nether Abyss, a colossal turtle parted the waves, its movements appearing unhurried yet possessing remarkable swiftness as it glided forward.

Luo Chen, seated in a cross-legged posture upon the turtle's shell, studied a meticulously arranged bamboo slip with a furrowed brow.

This document had been provided by Sang Jinghe.

It detailed the process of utilizing Golden Dragon Lion blood to nourish the Demonheart Tree, accompanied by extensive analysis and research from Sang Jinghe.

"Jinghe's initial hypothesis was accurate; Wild Beast Essence Blood indeed promotes the Demonheart Tree's growth."

"However, for it to condense fruit, this is still insufficient."

"To be precise, the blood of low-order Golden Dragon Lions is not enough!"

Clutching the bamboo slip, Luo Chen murmured softly. Sang Jinghe's findings indicated that the Demonheart Tree possessed an exceptionally high rank. Despite lacking Spirit Intelligence, it began as a Fourth Order plant upon sprouting and would mature into a Fifth Order spirit.

For such a High-level Spirit Plant, the resources required for cultivation were naturally immense.

Mere Wild Beast Blood would not suffice; High-level Wild Beast Blood was a necessity!

Furthermore, that was considered a shortcut. Sang Jinghe posited that the proper cultivation method involved using the heart blood of Ancient Demons to nourish it, which might yield even more rapid growth.

After all, its very name was the "Demonheart Tree."

"Never mind. In the immediate future, I won't be able to utilize this anyway."

Luo Chen pocketed the bamboo slip, setting aside thoughts of this Spirit Plant acquired from the Land of Fallen Demons.

Whether it be High-level Wild Beasts or Ancient Demons, these were beyond his current concerns.

While he had the time, it would be more beneficial to cultivate another Divine Power for himself.

The notion of Divine Powers brought Luo Chen's gaze back to the Nether Abyss.

The Xuan Turtle beneath him continued its silent journey, while Bai Meiling darted joyfully in the vicinity.

Bai Meiling was overjoyed because Luo Chen had permitted her to accompany him on this excursion; it had been an extensive period since she had ventured outside.

Considering that Little White had diligently collected low-level ghost souls for him over twenty years, Luo Chen readily agreed to bring her along as a reward.

"Master, the Nirvana Sacred Fire above the Nether Abyss has largely dissipated!" Bai Meiling exclaimed with delight from a distance. With the Nirvana Sacred Fire no longer suppressing them, Yin Souls like herself thrived within the Nether Abyss.

It could be attributed to the sudden disappearance of the Nirvana Sacred Fire that Bai Meiling managed to collect so many low-order Souls in just two decades.

Yet, Luo Chen's expression showed no sign of joy regarding this development.

His lips pressed together, and a thought stirred within his mind.

The very next moment!

Bai Meiling watched in sheer terror as a Fire Phoenix emerged from Luo Chen's body. It circled once above the abyss's dark surface, dispelling layers of Ghost Qi, before slowly re-entering Luo Chen's form.

This was no mere technique!

It was genuine Spirit Communication in essence!

Filled with apprehension and awe, she timidly inquired, "Master, could it be that you collected that Nirvana Sacred Fire?"

Luo Chen shook his head, but then offered a slight nod, implicitly confirming her suspicion.

The Nirvana Sacred Fire within the Nether Abyss had gradually been eroded over time by the ceaseless flow of the Ming Shui.

During his previous visit, Luo Chen had caused a celestial disturbance, drawing in a significant quantity of Nirvana Sacred Fire.

He had employed the Blood Jade Three Flame Fan to absorb a portion of it, and the remainder had flowed into the Primordial Chaos Tripod when his Divine Soul underwent Nirvana.

At that time, Luo Chen had lost consciousness and was unaware of subsequent events.

He only recalled that upon awakening, the Nirvana Fire Spirit within his Purple Mansion had magnified dozens of times over, ascending to a level comparable to the pinnacle of the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit.

Combined with Luo Chen's completion of Divine Soul Nirvana, the Nirvana Sacred Fire could now truly be classified as a Fifth-Order Divine Fire!

"But ultimately, is this a good or bad outcome?"

Luo Chen instinctively placed a hand on his chest, his expression tinged with uncertainty.

The original Nirvana Fire Spirit had originated from a fragment of Fire Spirit obtained from the Refining Heaven Cauldron, its consciousness thoroughly obliterated.

Consequently, Luo Chen had been able to proceed without reservation back then, boldly refining it into his own True Fire.

Regardless of its power, even if it couldn’t compare to the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire.

However, the current Nirvana Fire Spirit had absorbed a substantial amount of the Nirvana Sacred Fire left behind by Emperor Qi Xia. Although Luo Chen's assessment indicated the Fire Spirit still belonged to him, if Emperor Qi Xia harbored any malevolent intentions, given her ancestor-level mastery over fire…

Luo Chen couldn't bear to contemplate the potential consequences.

But, Luo Chen's mind quickly conceived a solution!

In the upcoming endeavors, the Fifth Order Nirvana Fire Spirit would serve as an invaluable asset, no less significant than the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire; for the present, it could not be dealt with.

Once this immediate matter was concluded, however, addressing the Nirvana Fire Spirit would become a priority.

"I wonder about the actual extent of Emperor Qi Xia's injuries, and if she retains the capacity to act?"

Suddenly, this thought crossed Luo Chen's mind.

...

"Xuanming, return!"

The delicate young girl knelt by the water's edge, bidding farewell to the colossal turtle that bobbed amidst the waves.

The great turtle exhaled a plume of water before submerging its gently swaying head into the Nether Abyss, gradually swimming away into the distance.

Luo Chen inquired, "You refer to it as Xuanming?"

Bai Meiling rose to her feet and declared with pride, "Indeed. You never bestowed a name upon him. For these past twenty years, he has borne me everywhere I go, so I simply adopted Xuan Turtle as his surname and Ming Shui as his given name, thus christening him Xuanming. He truly cherishes this name; he always responds whenever I call him."

Luo Chen’s gaze followed the shadow of the Xuan Turtle, departing with evident reluctance, and a smile played on his lips.

"Xuanming is a fitting name."

Offering a single word of praise, Luo Chen flicked his sleeve, and a Flying Shuttle descended before them.

It was the Frost Eagle Shuttle!

This shuttle boasted exceptional speed and remarkable stealth, making it perfectly suited for Luo Chen's current journey.

"Let us depart. Before we leave the Eastern Wasteland, we must pay a visit to a dear old friend."
