Chapter 660: Becoming an Immortal Instantly

Although the Great Luo Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir could turn an ordinary person into an immortal right away, its medicinal effect was quite mild. If it had been too potent, an ordinary person with no cultivation experience would surely not have been able to withstand it.

In terms of cultivation alone, Su Che had long been accustomed to enduring hardships, but now he found this mildness unsatisfying. He hoped for a more intense transformation effect and decided to add a catalyst to ignite it fully.

As per his request, the three types of energy—pure soul power, life energy, and Black Stone Clear Flow—stored in the Immortal Prison for immediate use were immediately infused. They mixed with the power of the Golden Elixir and acted together on Su Che’s original spirit.

Boom!

It was as if a volcano had erupted in his mind. An extremely scorching force spread from nowhere, almost crushing Su Che’s brain matter to pieces.

Su Che took a deep breath and praised inwardly, “Good, this is much better!”

The combination of the four energies triggered an explosive transformation. Su Che’s original spirit soared skyward at an astonishing rate. This change was vastly different from previous conventional improvements—it not only enhanced the strength of his original spirit but also brought about an extremely subtle fundamental transformation.

The original spirit of an immortal is surely very different from that of a mortal.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Wave after wave of energy surged against Su Che’s original spirit, growing more and more intense until it reached an uncontrollable level of fury. Su Che’s original spirit was like a candle flame in the wind, on the verge of going out…

If it were anyone else, they would surely be terrified and filled with regret: “Oh no, I’ve messed up! This is the end!”

But Su Che wasn’t afraid at all. With the Immortal Prison Pagoda protecting his mind, he could fully withstand such assaults. In fact, even more intense forces wouldn’t hurt!

Of course, when it came to transforming his physical body and Yuan Ying, he didn’t dare be so radical. The mild transformation brought about by the Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir was sufficient.

“Delicious!”

At this moment, Su Che felt as if his original spirit was a small boat riding the waves, being tossed higher and higher by towering waves. His entire mind was immersed in intense stimulation, and he had long ignored the changes in his physical body and Yuan Ying.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

He lost all sense of time and had no idea how long had passed. Gradually, the power of the Golden Elixir seemed to run out, and the explosive impacts from the combined energies also subsided quickly.

With a thought, Su Che realized that his physical body and Yuan Ying had undergone a complete transformation!

It was truly a complete transformation—completely different. Every bone was as crystal clear as exquisite jade, with a faint golden glow constantly swirling within the crimson blood. The skin surface was also covered in a layer of golden light, and with each breath, a roar like that of a mighty river could be heard…
This was the true immortal golden body, completely free from ordinary mortal forms.
Of course, no true immortal would show themselves in this golden form—it was a matter of personal privacy. In everyday life, they would return to their normal state, appearing no different from ordinary cultivators at first glance.
At this moment, Su Che only needed to think, and the faint golden light surrounding him naturally dissipated, returning him to his appearance before taking the medicine. After all, it was more pleasing to see him in his normal human form.
Now, let’s look at the changes in his Yuan Ying.
Originally, Su Che’s Yuan Ying was dark red, already quite different from that of normal fire-type cultivators, due to the mutations caused by the fusion of chaotic energy. Now, it had turned into a deep purple-gold color, with strange flame-shaped symbols and patterns covering its surface, making it even more bizarre.
“This…”
Su Che muttered to himself, “It doesn’t look like an immortal embryo at all. It’s eerily strange—more like a demonic embryo.”
Lao He laughed heartily, sharing the same feeling.
Indeed, the Yuan Ying covered in strange totems, with its deep purple-gold color, looked extremely sinister and full of demonic energy—definitely not something good.
However, one shouldn’t judge by appearance. It had indeed transformed into the characteristics of an immortal embryo, and its internal energy had become immortal essence rich in chaotic traits.
Ordinary cultivators’ internal energy is called “True Essence,” while true immortals in the immortal realm use “Immortal Essence”—this is the biggest difference between immortals and mortals.
“Has he become an immortal already?”
Su Che was still a bit dazed, feeling that everything had been too easy. But after such a thorough transformation, he naturally gained some insights, gaining a deeper understanding of the properties of the Da Luo Nine Turns Golden Pill.
“This kind of pill isn’t precious in the immortal realm, yet it’s extremely rare!”
“That seems contradictory, but that’s probably how it is. In the immortal realm, immortals are everywhere—there’s no shortage of them. The main purpose of the Da Luo Nine Turns Golden Pill is to allow an ordinary person to become an immortal instantly. Since true immortals in the realm are already immortals, who would need to take such a pill? That’s why such a pill isn’t valuable in the immortal realm.”

“But it’s extremely rare because this kind of elixir is called Da Luo Jiu Zhuan, which means that only a few peak-level powerhouses can refine it, and the conditions for refinement are extremely harsh. They can’t succeed easily just by trying whenever they want.”
“A mere mortal can ascend to immortality with just one pill, without going through the arduous process of cultivation. This approach actually goes against the laws of heaven. Even if the peak powerhouses in the immortal realm are granted certain privileges by heaven, it’s likely that each of them can only refine such a pill once in their lifetime; attempting to refine a second one would result in punishment from heaven…”
“Because in this regard, heaven only gives them one chance, one privilege!”
“There’s one Da Luo Jiu Zhuan pill reserved in this treasure trove of immortal pills. Does that mean that those peak-level powerhouses who sealed the Immortal-Demon Battlefield seven tens of millions of years ago already anticipated that, years later, a mortal would come here in search of opportunities?”
“Does that mean they helped me? Is that it?”
“Nothing in the world comes for free. What’s their purpose behind their ‘help’? How much calculation lies hidden within it?”
With this realization, a series of guesses flashed through Su Che’s mind.
Moreover, Su Che knew clearly that he hadn’t truly become an immortal yet, as he hadn’t gone through the ascension process or been recognized by heaven. He could only say that he possessed the strength equivalent to that of a lower-level immortal.
“The Immortal-Demon Battlefield is a special place where one can’t feel the pull of ascension, so I can unleash my full combat power without restraint.”
This wasn’t a guess—wandering immortals like Lian Yi had already proven this. They had shown their full strength many times without suffering any punishment from heaven.
After thinking about these things, Su Che asked, “How much time has passed?”
“Fifty days!” Lao He replied immediately.
“Fifty days?”
Su Che was slightly surprised. After taking the pill, he felt as though he had taken a short nap, not realizing that fifty days had passed.
Lao He explained, “Actually, the transformation of the physical body and the Yuan Ying only took three days. It was entirely because of the process of upgrading your Yuan Shen that it took so long.”
“That’s good news.”
Su Che nodded in his mind: “The longer the time, the greater the progress! I wonder what level my Yuan Shen has reached?”
“I don’t know either,” Lao He replied with a shake of his head. “I can only be sure that you’re far stronger than ordinary human immortals.”

Whether it’s immortals or mortals, having a powerful primordial spirit brings numerous advantages, offering great strengths in cultivation and combat. That’s why Su Che said it was a wonderful thing.
“Fifty days have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how Lianyi and the others are doing?”
Su Che immediately stood up and continued collecting the other elixirs. He didn’t even bother checking their specific effects one by one; instead, he put them all into the Immortal Prison for Lao He to examine carefully and store properly.
After becoming an immortal, these elixirs would be useful—whether for his own consumption or for trading in the Immortal Realm in the future. They represented a considerable fortune.
With money in hand, one wouldn’t panic. With this batch of elixirs, he surely wouldn’t end up in a desperate situation upon entering the Immortal Realm. He might even become a minor wealthy figure among the lower-ranked immortals.
Just a few breaths later, the last vial of elixir was collected by Su Che. At that moment, the more than a hundred bare floating crystal stones suddenly changed.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…
The crystal stones gathered toward the center. Amidst the clear sounds of collision, they stacked up like building blocks, quickly forming a crystal giant ten zhang tall.
It had a head, body, limbs—everything was there. Even a fairly clear face and subtle expressions could be seen.
The giant’s massive body wasn’t clumsy; it still retained its ability to float in the air, silently drifting in front of Su Che…
Su Che didn’t dodge. He stood still, mustering courage.
Swish!
The crystal giant opened its eyes, emitting two beams of light that precisely connected with Su Che’s gaze.
Boom!
Su Che felt an explosion in his mind, as if under a sudden soul attack.
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh…
Before he could react, wave after wave of mental attacks came at him.
Su Che instinctively wanted to dodge or resist, but then heard Lao He shout, “Don’t resist! This is a process of recognition. It won’t cause you any real harm.”
Su Che reluctantly agreed in his heart, gritting his teeth to endure the intense mental attacks.
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh…
The process lasted only a few dozen breaths, but to Su Che, it felt like a hundred years. At this moment, he finally realized just how wise it had been to swallow that Da Luo Jiu Zhuan Golden Elixir and become an immortal right away.

According to Lao Hei’s judgment, this crystal giant was about to acknowledge him as its master. However, without the strength of an immortal-level Yuan Shen, just the mental impact during such an acknowledgment process could blow the head of a Mahayana-level cultivator to pieces. The Yuan Shen, soul, and spirit would also be shattered into fragments… For any ordinary person, this would definitely not be an act of acknowledgment—it would be outright murder!
