Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2799 - 1036: Perfect Sword Qi, Foundation Establishment in a Thought

A deep, chilling silence pervades this place.

This is the vast Azure Darkness, a void of solitude.

Only the occasional passage of Sky Worm swarms, their calls a fleeting interruption, offer any variation to the unending monotony.

Yet, within this desolate expanse, unseen by the heavens above, a figure clad in black sits in meditation, enveloped by immense scarlet Sword Qi that churns like a ceaseless tempest.

Upon closer examination, the Sword Qi reveals a subtle trinity of colors: a pale red, a deep purple, and a dark crimson.

These three distinct Sword Qi types, through the continuous outward flow of the Daoist's breath, gradually merge into a single, unified hue.

Scarlet red!

Luo Chen’s eyes slowly opened, his gaze settling upon the scarlet Sword Qi encircling him, akin to the fading light of dusk, a look of profound satisfaction gracing his expression.

The cultivation of this "Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture" proves exceptionally arduous. Not only is the required Sky Qi exceedingly rare and costly, but its refinement presents a formidable challenge.

At the Beginner Level, refining a mere single strand consumes more than half a year.

A full fifty to sixty years were dedicated to elevating his mastery to the First Order.

The inherent difficulty in achieving the "Thousand Clouds Flowing Together" stage is, therefore, self-evident.

However, as Luo Chen's comprehension of this sword scripture deepened, the speed of refinement saw an unexpected, significant acceleration.

After departing the Eastern Wasteland and arriving in "Zhongzhou," a mere fourteen years elapsed to progress from mastery to the perfection level.

Upon reaching this pinnacle of perfection, Luo Chen discovered astonishing new transformations.

"The previously discordant Chi Xiao Qi, Purple Cloud Qi, and Jiang Xiao Qi have now fused flawlessly, creating the Chi Xiao Sword Qi, perfectly suited to my Fire Spirit Body. While the anticipated increase in power due to sheer quantity was expected, the potency of each individual strand has actually doubled!"

"This is the consequence of pure, qualitative change!"

"Furthermore, the refinement speed has improved yet again. Crafting a strand of Sword Qi now demands only twenty days."

"This implies that advancing from Perfection Level Proficiency to the Grandmaster Level, provided an ample supply of Sky Qi, will require approximately eleven years."

With this simple calculation, Luo Chen's spirits soared.

He remains uncertain if other cultivators experience similar phenomena with this sword scripture, but for him, the benefits are overwhelmingly significant.

Standard Chi Xiao Sword Qi, even at the Nascent Soul Stage, is already recognized as a potent combat art.

Now, with the perfected Chi Xiao Sword Qi doubling its might, its destructive capability is nearly on par with the formidable Great Five Elements Sword Formation that Luo Chen had meticulously crafted earlier.

What then, would be the might of Grandmaster Level Chi Xiao Sword Qi?

And what of this Fifth-Order Sword Scripture upon reaching its ultimate perfection?

Having relinquished all else, dedicating himself to the solitary refinement of his cultivation technique in this desolate and silent place, enduring unimaginable loneliness, Luo Chen fervently hopes the ultimate result will not disappoint him.

Whether the final outcome will indeed align with Luo Chen's aspirations, he cannot yet say. However, through these years of relentless cultivation, Luo Chen has reaped additional rewards.

The first is the sudden surge in his realm, which had previously caused his Qi to become unstable, has now gradually stabilized through the refinement of Sword Qi.

He can now control his internal Qi with complete ease, no longer burdened by the potential dangers of an unstable cultivation foundation.

The second benefit...

Luo Chen directed his gaze towards the location of his Purple Mansion, within which the Nascent Soul mirrored his action, opening its eyes.

Adorned in Xuan Chen Armor, it cradled an ancient Blood Sword in both hands.

This sword, compared to its previous state, exuded a more vibrant life force.

A closer inspection revealed the crimson hue flowing like liquid across its surface.

The blood groove etched into the blade, uncannily resembling human blood vessels, was now strikingly clear.

This Pseudo-Spirit Treasure, having absorbed the blood of two Divine Transformation Great Powers and countless lesser beings, and meticulously refined by Luo Chen with an open heart, was finally poised to take the final step towards evolving into a true Spiritual Treasure!

Luo Chen's Divine Consciousness slowly receded.

The time for haste had not yet arrived.

Drawing upon his knowledge of artifact refinement, the transition from ordinary True Devices like the Yuan Tu Sword to a Spiritual Treasure involved profound differences.

A Treasure Sword inherently possesses one "Artifact Spirit," and it was destined to develop another in the future; the ultimate dominance, or potential merging of these two entities, remained an unknown possibility.

This required Luo Chen's unwavering attention, careful nurturing, and diligent refinement, ensuring success in this critical final stage.

Lastly, Luo Chen uncovered a further benefit.

His Qi power gently unfurled, permeating the Azure Darkness.

This realm, as if sentient, responded by channeling a vast influx of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from all directions, enveloping Luo Chen in an embrace, seemingly ready to be commanded at his slightest whim.

Moreover, if Luo Chen were to successfully condense a Primordial Spirit, he would possess the ability to swiftly transform it into Qi within hisDantian at any given moment.

This particular phenomenon serves as a defining characteristic of a Divine Transformation Great Power!

With their divine consciousness seamlessly integrated into the boundless cosmos, they wield dominion over an immeasurable amount of Primordial Qi!

Consequently, Divine Transformation Great Powers tend to refrain from action unless absolutely necessary; however, when they do intervene, even the slightest exertion of their power can obliterate mountains and rend lands asunder, or ignite oceans and submerge continents.

Furthermore, their capabilities remain unhindered by environmental limitations.

Even in desolate locales such as the Azure Darkness Void, commonly recognized as Dead Spirit Lands, they can endure indefinitely due to the ceaseless and unending flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Abruptly!

As Luo Chen channeled a colossal influx of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the ancient and long-dormant Primordial Chaos Tripod began to shudder violently.

Fierce, beast-like roars echoed rampantly from its interior.

Luo Chen arched an eyebrow in response.

"Have you perceived my further advancement, and thus, you are growing agitated?"

The Primordial Chaos Tripod convulsed with intense ferocity, and a spectral apparition even manifested, swelling outwards as if attempting to shatter the confines of the Great Cauldron.

The incomplete specter of the Kui Ox Ghost God had, in truth, detected Luo Chen's significant transformation. It could no longer passively await its demise.
