The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 1
Rain Country, the residence of the Ling clan in Grey Cloud City. The moon has passed through the middle of the night sky.
Ling Han spent exactly ten seconds confirming one fact: he had actually reincarnated.
Spending ten seconds just to confirm the fact was extremely unimaginable by a strong person of Heaven Level, but at the same time, it also proved that what happened to him was just as unimaginable.
In his previous life, he stood at the pinnacle of martial arts and had an entirely unprecedented achievement in alchemy arts. "The "Three Fire Guides" he created had even led to a revolution in the field of alchemy theory, and he was respectfully given the title of "Alchemy Emperor".
Still, he was dissatisfied and thought of further progress: to reach the legendary Crushed Void Level, to destroy the void, and become immortal! Therefore, he visited innumerable ancient sites and finally entered the Black Blood Valley, overcoming various dangerous obstacles before he discovered the ancient tower.
He should not be disappointed, as golden words appeared in the ancient tower and revealed what it was a scroll with the highest skill, named . Training in it to the highest level would allow the creation of a body that did not age or decay, to coexist with heaven and earth and have the same lifespan as the sun and moon! [1]
However, despite being a warrior who had reached Heaven's Level, Ling Han still felt that it was very vague and difficult to understand, he said, feeling as if he was reading the heavenly book — was completely confused.
He forced himself to memorize this supreme skill collection, and was just about to investigate the ancient tower when the tower jolted slightly, emitting a pillar of heavenly light that instantly shattered his mortal body. However, the strange thing was, his spirit did not completely disperse and entered a semi-conscious state, which lasted for over ten thousand years.
In these ten millennia, his spirit was immersed in analyzing — he couldn't do anything else during that time anyway. Finally, he understood the first layer of the highest skill described in the scroll.
To spend ten thousand years to comprehend just the first layer of the scroll that contained skills despite being a Heaven Level fighter, what kind of concept was that?
A Heaven Level warrior only had a lifespan of less than a thousand years. So, under normal circumstances, there would be no one in this world who could fully learn the contents of it because, even before one began to understand it, they would die of old age first!
However Ling Han, through this strange occurrence, grasped the first layer, and he was now suddenly reincarnated and reborn in the body of a sixteen year old youth who had the same name, Ling Han's.
That's so unimaginable!
'No matter how it happened, I was reborn!
Although this body has only reached the second layer of the Body Refining Level, and cannot be more trash than this, I was once a Heaven Level warrior, standing at the peak of Martial Dao, and an Alchemy grandmaster! If the body condition is bad, then I will use the medicinal pill to compensate for the deficiency! I can't believe I won't be able to go back to the top.
Besides, I can finally train in ! It is the ultimate collection of skills, so powerful that ... Perhaps not from this mortal plane, but from the legendary immortal plane instead! Otherwise, how could I possibly spend ten thousand years and only understand the first layer?
In this life, I will definitely be able to surpass everyone who came before, and become immortal!
Besides, what's with this body? Sixteen years old, yet that man had only reached the second layer of the Body Refining Level? Could it be that Martial Dao is currently dying?'
"explosion!"
Along with an explosion-like sound, countless memories flooded his mind. They belonged to the other Ling Han, and thus were the memories of the original owner of this body. Through this process, two completely different thoughts merge together and form one, no longer separated from each other.
'Such.'
Ling Han nodded in his mind. The reason why he was only at the second layer of the Body Refining Level was because his Spirit Base had too poor quality.
The prerequisite for training as a warrior is that one needs to have a Spirit Base. Only with the Spirit Base could one absorb the Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth, train his body and transform the Spiritual Qi into their own Origin Power.
Some types of Spirit Bases absorb Spiritual Qi quickly and some absorb it more slowly. To differentiate between them, the Spirit Base was categorized into four main levels: Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow. Each major class is further divided into three minor levels: High, Medium and Low. The best type was Heaven Grade High Level, and the poorest type was Yellow Grade Low Level.
The level of the Spirit Base was determined by its purity; the purer it was, the better. Ling Han's Spirit Base was completely messy, containing all five elements. In the world of martial arts, this was the worst kind of Spirit Base; it could hardly be considered a Yellow Low-Level. That was the reason why he had only reached the second layer of the Body Refining Level at his sixteen years of age, while others of the same age had at least reached the fourth or fifth layer of the Body Refining Level.
Ling Han in his previous life had a Heaven Class Spirit Base, which was also the Nine Yang Fire Spirit Base. Moreover, he had an unrivalled talent in the alchemy arts and used pills to support his cultivation, spending just two hundred years to reach Heaven's Level — is something no one else has achieved in the past.
'Five Chaotic Spirit Base Elements, this is the lowest level of the Spirit Base .. no wonder my predecessor only reached the second layer of the Body Refining Level no matter how much he worked and practiced. For me, this Five Elements Messy Spirit Base is a bit of a problem, but with an alchemy pill, I only need four years to return to the peak at most!'
'Yes!'
Ling Han exclaimed in his heart, and his face showed an expression of disbelief and was extremely shocked. Using his extremely strong mental prowess to once again peek at the Spirit Base in his dantian, he was stunned for a moment. Then, the shock gave way to an exhilarating excitement, visible on his face. [2]
'This is not the Spirit Base of the Five Elements Chaos! The Five Elements were actually in full balance and formed the shape of a lotus! That means..this is the Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus, the best of the best, even rarer than the Nine Yang Fire Spirit Base! This was a Spirit Base that was praised as a Spirit Base of the Eternal Grade!
My predecessor had slow progress, but that was because the Eternal Grade Spirit Base required special skills to realize its true prowess. And... I happen to have a skill that matches this Five Elements Mix Chaos Lotus, Five Elements Heaven Grade Skill!
Hundred years! No, I only need fifty years, and I can once again reach Heaven Level!'
Even with his status as a Heaven Level warrior from his previous life, Ling Han could not control his expression, now full of excitement. The Spirit base is something that is born with it; there is no way to change it at all. In his previous life, in order to destroy the empty void and become immortal, he had visited various ancient sites and obtained different types of secret arts and cultivation techniques. The Heaven Element Five Grade Skill was one of them!
In his previous life, he stood at the top of the martial world, and in this life, he would once again bask in glory and create an eternal legend!
'How did my predecessor die?'
Ling Han flipped through his memories, and anger quickly surfaced on his face.
His predecessor was the only son of Clan Chief Ling, Ling Dong Xing. His mother and grandparents had all died early on. The Ling Clan was a clan of martial artists; every member of the clan knew martial arts, and was proud of that fact. So, how did someone like Ling Dong Xing become the Clan Head? It was because he was the strongest and had reached his position through the fight!
But Ling Han was considered a trash since his childhood due to problems with his Spirit Base, and had received a lot of ridicule from the people around him.
To give his son a bright future, Ling Dong Xing made a pact with Hu Yang Academy — Hu Yang Academy would accept Lign Han as a disciple and exert all efforts to train her in exchange for Ling Dong Xing entering the Purple Light Land Valley to find and retrieve something that had been lost from Hu Yang Academy many years ago.
Hu Yang Academy was an academy under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Dynasty of the Rain Country, possessing countless resources. If they decided to exert all efforts to train it, even the worst kind of trash would be able to reach the Element Collection Level.
But the people from Hu Yang Academy were not idiots. If the item was easy to pick up, then why would they provide such generous conditions?
The day before, the people from Hu Yang Academy had come and told the Ling Clan that, as promised, they would come to pick him up on this day. However at that moment, the Chief Servant of the Ling Clan, Ling Zhong Kuan, came to talk to his predecessor. He wanted him to hand over this precious position to his own grandson, Ling Mu Yun.
The reason given was that Ling Mu Yun was a genius with boundless prospects, and such an opportunity could not be wasted on trash.
The predecessor certainly disagreed. After all, this was something that his father used his life in exchange for obtaining it! However, even though Ling Zhong Kuan had come to speak, he had actually only informed his predecessor and had not come there to listen to the opinions of others at all.
His predecessor could no longer hold on and act, but Ling Zhong Kuan was a warrior of the Element Gathering Level. Just one finger was enough to overwhelm him — how could he resist?
With just a single blow, his predecessor was severely injured, and then locked up in his own room, clearly not letting him create trouble in front of the people from Hu Yang Academy. As soon as Ling Dong Xing returned, everything would have been done.
The severely injured Ling Han thus died in anger.
Ling Han was angry. They've gone too far. His father used his life to get this position for him, and Ling Zhong Kuan and his grandson dared to just take it for granted?
These very shameless dogs!
He can't accept this!
He got up from his bed, and instantly felt pain all over his body.True, he had obtained a new life, but the wounds on his body would not heal by itself.
'En? The Spirit Base has been damaged!' Ling Han's brows furrowed. That attack from Ling Zhong Kuan had actually damaged his Spirit Base, and the damage to the Spirit Base was an extremely troublesome matter; ordinary medical stones would not help.
'According to my understanding, there are seven types of pills that can heal the damage to the Spirit Base, although four of them require such expensive materials that even selling the entire Ling Clan would not be enough — moreover, my Spirit Base only received light damage, and thus did not require such a high-grade pill.
As for the remaining three types, two of them require molds to form pills, and it would be too much of a burden on my current cultivation of the second layer of my Body Refining Level. If so, then I only have one choice of – Origin Heart Recover Spirit Powder, which can be made simply by mixing the necessary ingredients with the correct ratio and cooking them to become a medical herb.
I will heal my wounds first, then go and stop Ling Zhong Kuan and his grandson. Even though I don't care about this position, I definitely won't let the chance that my father has swapped his life to use to benefit this shameless grandfather-grandfather pair!
He sat down with his legs crossed, and began to circulate the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll. [3]
This was the first time he had circulated this cultivation technique that might come from the Eternal Grade, but since he had analyzed it for ten thousand years, it was now something that could be done easily.
"Weng, weng, weng!" Strong signs of life appeared suddenly within his body; his Original Strength was greatly drained, but his injuries were quickly healed.
In just a few minutes, he recovered completely.
'Say to name" The Unbreakable Heaven Scroll "! I just started training in it, and already felt an incredible effect. However this was completely different from the other types of cultivation techniques; ordinary cultivation techniques made use of the Spirit Base to absorb the Spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth to transform into Origin Power, and the Unbreakable Heaven Scroll was the opposite, using Origin Power to repair the body and heal wounds!
Once my training reaches the highest level, achieving immortality may not be impossible. That is why it is called the Heaven Scroll! Unfortunately, his level right now is not enough, otherwise I can use the Indestructible Heaven Scroll to heal my Spirit Base.'
Ling Han opened his eyes and, looking at the light growing outside his window, muttered softly: "Now, I will go and meet Ling Zhong Kuan, that shameless old man, and give him a surprise!"
He put on his shoes, walked towards the doorway and opened the door.
In the doorway was a tall figure, blocking his progress. The name of this man was Zhang Yuan, one of Ling Zhong Kuan's henchmen.
"Young Master Han, Chief Servant has ordered that you should stay in your room today!" Zhang Yun said with a laugh. Even though the person before him was the son of the Clan Chief, he was also a notoriously ruthless trash, and was just a joke in his eyes.

Ling Han's gaze turned cold, and said, "You dare to block me?"
Exactly like that. The Chief Servant had told him that he could not let Ling Han out and block them at all costs. If everything came to a head, he even had permission to attack him! Thus, Zhang Yun smiled fakely and said, "This is the order from the Chief Servant. Young Master Han, please don't make things difficult for me."
'Ling Zhong Kuan, this old dog, is really careful; he has seriously injured me and still feels insecure, going further by assigning someone to guard the door,' thought Ling Han. It also showed how important it was for Ling Zhong Kuan for his grandson to enter Hu Yang — Academy if this hope was shattered, Ling Zhong Kuan's despair and fury could be imagined.
"So get out of my way!" Ling Han spoke coldly.
"Young Master Han, this was ordered by Chief But-"
I said, "All right!"
Ling Han raised his hand and slapped him, speaking coldly, "What are you doing? I told you to get out of my way, and you didn't?"
What, he actually received a slap from the trash? Zhang Yuan covered his face in disbelief; this piece of trash actually dared to go against him, what kind of joke is this?
He was furious, and recalled Ling Zhong Kuan's words from before: if everything happens, he has permission to attack! He could not stop his hatred from rising, and said thickly, "Young Master Han, this is what you have forced upon me-"
I said, "All right!"
Ling Han raised his hand once more, and gave him a loud slap again.
