Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 610
Chapter 610: Chapter 256: Eternal Sleep_2
Although no one has voiced it, Luo Chen often sees a glimmer of envy in the gazes of his friends and subordinates.
Envy?
But it’s gotten at the cost of his life!
Day and night of refining pills for Spirit Stones, never-ceasing cultivation.
Supported by vast resources and ten years of relentless persistence.
He has just barely accomplished this cultivation level!
The reasons that drove him to work this hard included various changing factors in the outer world and his deep concerns about his mediocre talent and insufficient lifespan.
Even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still troubled by this.
That’s why he never stopped advancing.
However, after experiencing the dreamlike events of a few days ago, he realized that he might have gone too far.
“Luo Chen, aren’t you tired?”
“Hehe….”
“How could I not be tired!”
He let out a light chuckle.
Luo Chen, with his wide-open eyes, seemed to be lost in the long years experienced within the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror.
After waking up, he learned various information about the bronze mirror, left behind by a Golden Core Ascendant Master’s Spirit Consciousness.
This Magical Item originated hundreds of years ago from the powerful Path of Array Great Sect – Ghost God Valley.
The magic of it is that it can provide a cultivator with a unique journey of “Heart Inquiry” – but only once!
Or rather, it is not just about “Heart Inquiry”, its main function lies in “simulation”.
With the cultivator’s experiences and insights, they can use this unique magical item to simulate a specific event.
In Ghost God Valley.
This treasure was always possessed by Elder Jin Wu, who was in charge of teaching cultivation techniques.
It was mainly used on disciples of Ghost God Valley who had reached Foundation Establishment Stage Finalization.
To help them simulate the process of Golden Core condensation!
Even if it’s just once, it’s still a priceless experience.
Since Ghost God valley obtained this item, even without top-notch Core Formation Secret Techniques, the number of Golden Core cultivators in the sect still showed a steady upward trend.
Later, the Sect’s strength grew stronger, far exceeding other Golden Core Great Sects, and became incredibly powerful.
However, there was no Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to stabilize Ghost God Valley!
To avoid being feared by the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect in the same territory, the Supreme Elder of Ghost God Valley decided to move their base and join the Open War of the Yu Ding Sword Sect, to find a new place for Ghost God Valley to survive.
Unfortunately, Ghost God Valley, as the vanguard in the Open War, was completely destroyed by the Fourth Order Demon Emperor.
Consequently, this Great Sect of the Path of Array gradually declined.
The reasons for the decline were not just the loss of the Sect’s elites in one battle.
More importantly, with the disappearance of the Supreme Elder of Ghost God Valley, a defensive magical item also vanished without a trace.
Lan Ke Black and White Chess!
This set of magical items had a Medium Grade Level, consisting of black and white chess pieces.
In theory, it shouldn’t have the same fame as the Ascendant Grade Magic Item, Monster-Locking Tower, in the Immortal Cultivation World.
However, in reality, within Ghost God Valley, the importance of Lan Ke Black and White Chess is no less than the Monster-Locking Tower.
The reason is that this treasure can be used in combination with the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror.
Although both have defensive effects, they also have their focuses.
The white chess piece protects the body, and the black chess piece guards the soul.
Initially, Luo Tianhong was able to be the first one to transform into Ghost Generals after his demise, thanks to the black chess piece.
Luo Chen had once crushed him to pieces, but he could recover himself quickly with the help of the black chess piece and Ghost Realm.
From this, one can see how outstanding the black chess piece is in soul protection.
Ghost God Valley used the soul-protecting effect of the Lan Ke Black Chess to calmly let the Foundation Establishment disciples use the Heart Inquiry Mirror!
Unfortunately, this treasure was lost in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
Since then, Ghost God Valley has gradually lost its strength in the area of Golden Core cultivators.
After Elder Jin Wu, who was in charge of teaching cultivation techniques, gathered the remaining disciples, he managed to hold on for a long time.
But as he passed away, no new Golden Core cultivators have emerged in Ghost God Valley, they could only rely on the Yu Ding Sword Sect.
Among the younger disciples, some tried to simulate Core Formation with the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror.
But without the soul-protection of Lan Ke Black Chess, even if they succeeded in simulating, they would often get lost in it.
After several attempts.
This magical item gradually couldn’t bear the burden.
In the end, one corner of it shattered and became incomplete.
After several twists and turns, it arrived in Luo Chen’s hands.
Off the track.
All this information came from Luo Chen’s inferences based on the few words left on the Ghost God Heart Asking Mirror by the Golden Core Ascendant Master.
But combining it with the later history, he believes his guesses on a broader level are probably correct.
“By a coincidence, I happened to have the Lan Ke Black Chess in my hands which enabled me, during that lengthy simulation process, to preserve my Divine Soul until the end.”
Feeling emotional.
Luo Chen’s thoughts began to uncontrollably spread again.
The three hundred years’ experience within the mirror had been incredibly convoluted.
The earlier phases of the imitation were clearer.
By the middle and later period, it depended on his experience and knowledge to direct its generation.
Like the two Ascendant Sect wars, Luo Tian Creed got involved in them.
Wang Yuan, in order to cultivate, committed a myriad of killings and offended a Golden Core Ascendant Master.
To the point where later he took risky actions and, under the tendency of joining forces with others, attacked the Yu Ding Sword Sect which had no nascent soul sect master.
All these things are either done by him or people around him.
As for the ultimate downfall of Luo Tian Creed and his desperate turning to the Path of Demon as a Rogue Cultivator, it also seems quite possible.
Because from the very beginning, he, Luo Chen, was nothing but common Rogue Cultivator from The Great River District.
He also had done things like killing and seizing treasures.
Although it was done under coercion.
As for the final assault on the Golden Core Period, the outcome was obviously a failure.
With his current experience and accumulation, there is no way he could simulate success.
Moreover, this Ghost God Heart Inquiry Mirror did not take into account the Proficiency System.
