Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 3007 - 1112: Cave Heaven Acquired, Barbaric Land

Splosh!

The turbulent waves parted, and the white-clothed Daoist descended from the sky, standing amidst the Black Water.

His hands flickered with fluorescence as he bent down to pick up the peculiar existence revealed by the luminescence in the giant pit left after the Heaven and Earth Peak was taken.

However, this attempt was like trying to catch the moon in the water, ending up empty-handed.

"An illusion?"

Luo Chen was surprised.

With the strength of his Divine Perception, illusions that could deceive him were exceedingly rare in this world.

Luo Chen faintly guessed something, showing an immensely interested expression.

Without hesitation, he infused his eyes with two distinct forces of Qi Power and Origin Force, and when he opened his eyes, the Red Eyes Golden Pupils appeared once again!

An existence that could deceive Divine Perception might not necessarily deceive his eyes.

These were Spirit Eyes that could break illusions, break the void, and even break space; no demons or sprites could hide before them.

As expected!

With the opening of the Red Eyes Golden Pupils, Luo Chen finally detected the location of the glowing point.

It was an existence akin to a pearl.

Silently buried beneath the Heaven and Earth Peak.

His Divine Perception swept over, giving an impression resembling a small world.

White mist enveloped it layer upon layer, occasionally letting Black Water seep out.

Instantly, a name emerged.

"Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven!"

No wonder this entity could deceive his Divine Perception.

The Mirage Dragon itself was a top-tier beast of the Great Desolate, capable of transforming into the sun, moon, and stars, creating its own Cave Heaven Blessed Land. After its death, its body was transformed into the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven by the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, yet it retained its illusionary characteristics. Because of this trait, it became the Secret Realm most suitable for disciple training in the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

But now it seems, the rumors may be incorrect.

"It’s not a corpse, but its inner core!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath, eyes showing a hint of excitement.

Demon Beasts also have inner cores, but they are mostly limited to Low Order.

Once reaching the Fourth Order Transformation Realm, they become similar to Human Cultivators, going through Golden Core Transformation to Nascent, embarking on the path of Demon Cultivators.

But Savage Beasts, however, rarely undergo transformation.

So, their inner cores are truly where their essence resides.

Luo Chen hadn’t anticipated that the so-called Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven was essentially the inner core of the Mirage Dragon.

"The creation of heaven and earth is indeed so wondrous. For us, it’s merely a Savage Beast’s inner core, but for its inhabitants, how different is it from a planetary world?"

"Based on the soul-splitting memories from back in the day, one of the Twelve Great Houses, the Gu Family, utilized the difference in time flow within the Cave Heaven to cultivate Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine therein."

"If I could control this Cave Heaven, could I also emulate their practice?"

Luo Chen never considered using the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven’s time flow difference for cultivation, as this method was too perilous.

The Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven itself was not suitable for cultivators due to its scattered Spirit Veins and unformed Spirit Caves. The last time when Ke Lian Shan and the Daoist Sect Disciples managed to cultivate inside was because the Lan Ke Chessboard had absorbed Spirit Mechanism, stabilizing the Cave Heaven’s Spirit Veins.

Now that the Lan Ke Chessboard is destroyed, the Cave Heaven’s Spirit Veins are bound to be disrupted again.

However, these unformed Spirit Veins, though unsuitable for cultivation, don’t significantly affect the growth of herbal Spirit Medicines.

As long as the overall environment remains, with the passage of years, the medicinal power will gradually coalesce.

Moreover, his path of Body Refining has reached a bottleneck; relying solely on Body Refinement Methods is difficult to break through. Only the Demonheart Tree might assist him significantly.

This Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven might allow the Demonheart Tree to bear fruit.

Of course, according to the research results left by Sang Jinghe before his death, cultivating the Demonheart Tree also requires the indispensable condition of Ancient Demon and Ancient Demon Beast’s heart blood essence or a High-level Wilderness’s heart blood essence.

But for Luo Chen, it’s not difficult—only if he wishes!

"First, let’s secure this precious item!"

Luo Chen did not hesitate, reaching out once again towards the Bright Pearl in the water.

This attempt was like scooping up an entire world.

Massive clouds dispersed, dark depths of Ming Shui gushed, and finally, Luo Chen struggled to lift his hand.

Looking up, his heart was arrested.

A Bright Pearl in his palm, the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven!

Luo Chen sent his Divine Perception into it, and vast scenes came into view, though the size of the Cave Heaven seemed shrunk many times compared to his memory.

"Is it due to the effects of the last battle?"

When Luo Chen regained his senses, his expression shifted between uncertain shades.

"Not only has the area shrunk, but the time flow seems to have reduced significantly... does it mean this Secret Realm is dying?"

The demise of a Secret Realm sounds shocking, yet in the Immortal Cultivation World, it’s an all-too-common occurrence.

Secret Realms are mostly left by predecessors or formed from special spaces.

But if the foundation forming the Secret Realm, like array formations, precious items, or even Spirit Veins and space, gradually collapses and decays, the entire Secret Realm becomes unstable, eventually either vanishing or integrating with reality, becoming part of this world.

Of course, that would mean the special nature of the Secret Realm naturally ceases to exist.

"There should still be time; if I can extract the Ming Shui that pervades the entire Cave Heaven, supplemented by prohibition arrays, this process might be delayed."

"This Secret Realm, for now, is still of great use to me!"

Luo Chen exhaled a turbid breath and tucked the Mirage Dragon inner core into his arms.

This entity itself forms a Cave Heaven and thus cannot be placed into a storage ring or Primordial Cauldron.

Otherwise, with spatial repulsion, one side would eventually explode or collapse under pressure.

After securing the Mirage Dragon inner core, Luo Chen looked around silently, pondering internally.

Due to this unexpected discovery, his ascension plan temporarily changed, and the timing may be slightly insufficient.

"I need to make a trip to the wilderness!"

...

Eastern Wasteland, Elixir Saint’s Blessed Land.

In the middle of a black lake.

Waves rolled, as a colossal entity slowly emerged.
