Chapter 1363 : Taiyi Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword
At this moment, what truly astonished Eldrin were the treasures contained within these 3 Heavenly Tribulation Pools.
Among the 3 Heavenly Tribulation Pools, the treasure in the rightmost 1 had already been taken, most likely fallen into the hands of the Silent Thunder God. Yet, Eldrin instantly deduced the origins of the artifacts remaining in the other 2 pools.
To the left stood the small thunder-imbued tree, known as the 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit (Heavenly Treasure), an eighth-grade supreme primordial herb of world-creating grade.
This elixir was born from the boundless power of thunder, containing an overwhelmingly potent medicinal force capable of refining the Primordial Chaos Body of a Terran Immortal Elder.
It is said that a perfected Earth Immortal who consumes a single 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit has a 1-in-10 chance of cultivating the legendary Great Unity Immortal Body.
What is Tai?
Within ancient texts, this signifies the concept of the ultimate antiquity and boundless vastness. What is Taiyi?
This refers to the primordial origin and essence of all things in the cosmos, also known as the "Dao." It also signifies the chaotic qi before the separation of heaven and earth, demonstrating how supremely revered the title of 'Taiyi' truly is.
In the celestial realms, there exists the doctrine of the Supreme Ultimate of the Great Monad and the Boundless Infinity of the Great Perfection.
Thus, the title of "Grand Primordium" stands second only to "Great Luo," ranking among the most exalted and supreme designations. For this reason, the Celestial Immortal realm is also referred to as the Grand Primordium Realm.
In such circumstances, anything bearing the title 'Taiyi' is considered supremely noble. Since the Taiyi Immortal Physique carries this designation, 1 can only imagine the unparalleled dignity it represents.
As far as Eldrin (Person Name) knew, according to legend, the ultimate physique that a mortal being could cultivate was none other than the Taiyi Immortal Body. Beyond this lay the realm of the Infinite, a state of perfection where no further advancement was possible.
Having cultivated to this stage, the refinement of the mundane physical body had reached flawless perfection. To advance further, 1 must obtain a wisp of Primordial Qi from the dawn of chaos to reverse-engineer the Innate Body.
Otherwise, even with the Taiji Body, 1 who had cultivated to the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm would only be able to contend against an early-stage Celestial Immortal with an Innate Body at best.
Yet it was undeniable that the Supreme Unity Physique had already reached its absolute peak. This constitution had stepped into the Ninth Order realm, attaining the limit of what was possible for a post-natal being.
Such an existence, having cultivated the Taiyi Immortal Body, has completely transcended the limits of the Earthly Immortal Realm and is thus revered as a Half-Step Celestial Immortal-level powerhouse.
Throughout the ages, among all immortals, those capable of cultivating to this realm could already be considered peerless talents within the celestial domain. Take for instance the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace—even he has merely established a single foundation of the Great Ultimate.
Before him lay the 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit, a supreme immortal elixir of the highest eighth-grade quality. Consuming it would increase his chances of attaining the Taiyi Immortal Body by 10 percent.
Though it was merely a 10 percent chance, that alone was astonishing enough.
Countless Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection realm might never obtain such a supreme treasure in their entire lifetimes. Were they to chance upon a single 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit, they would likely spare no cost to seize it.
Those Earth Immortals who had opened the seventh heaven possessed roughly a 20 to 30 percent chance of breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.
If 1 obtained this 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit, the chance of breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm would be at least 30 to 40 percent—enough to tempt countless Earth Immortals at the peak of perfection to risk everything for it.
At this thought, Eldrin murmured thoughtfully, "For me, once I master the 3 types of Creation Dao Fruits, breaking through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm would be almost set in stone."
"Perhaps this item holds little use for me, but if used to forge a personal favor..." Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes abruptly gleaming with sharp intensity.
Among the Earth Immortals he was acquainted with, the master of the Glazed Paradise seemed to have use for this item.
That divine lord of glazed jade, Qu Liuli, was also a renowned figure within the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea. It was said she ranked third among the 10 Great Immortal Maidens of the Western Qi Divine Abyssal Sea, a testament to her exalted and innate nobility.
After all, she had taken form from a 7-Colored Immortal Clam, possessing an exceptionally rare innate talent. It was said she had cultivated 3 Primordial Foundations and reached the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal realm.
Back in the day, the Glazed Divine Sovereign had opened up the Eighth Heaven. In terms of talent and innate gifts, she even surpassed the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.
With such extraordinary talent, she even caught the attention of a Celestial Immortal powerhouse from the human race’s "Divine Abyss Paradise," who sought to take her as his consort.
Thus Eldrin (Person Name) estimated that if Glazed Divine Lord were to attempt the breakthrough to the Taiyi Immortal Body, she would have at least a 40 to 50 percent chance of success. Should she obtain this 9 Calamity Thunder Fruit, the treasures required to achieve the Taiyi Immortal Body would be substantially increased.
"If gifted to the Glazed Celestial Lord, given my relationship with Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and the divine lord's character, I would undoubtedly be well compensated." "Moreover, during this tribulation, I've made far too many enemies—it's time I seek refuge under a powerful patron."
Eldrin murmured under his breath, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He knew full well in his heart that such a supreme-grade immortal elixir would yield vastly different effects depending on the individual.
If it were an ordinary Earth Immortal at the peak of perfection, their chances of breaking through to the half-step Celestial Immortal realm would be merely 1 in 10, and even with this treasure, success would likely remain elusive.
And a peerless genius like Eldrin would already have a considerable chance of cultivating the Taiyi Immortal Body. With the refinement of this 9 Calamities Thunder Fruit, if not a surefire success, it would at least grant a 70 to 80 percent certainty.
At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze once more toward the treasure within the central Lightning Tribulation Pool.
At the heart of the Central Lightning Tribulation Pond lay a treasure known as the 'Taiyi Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword'—a nascent Taiyi Immortal Weapon in the throes of formation. This artifact stood as the supreme marvel within the Endless Thunder Sea, the most precious creation nurtured by the storm-ridden expanse over hundreds of millions of years.
This sword was originally a piece of unrefined iron that accidentally fell upon the Mountain of 10 1000 Calamities. Over hundreds of millions of years, it endured endless tribulation lightning, absorbing the essence of the Mountain of 10 1000 Calamities and the boundless thunder force from the Thunder Abyss Blessed Land of 10 1000 Realms.
It can be said that this sword was forged by heaven and earth itself, with the power of its inner Dao principles etched by the Thunder Dao of the Vast Azure Celestial Realm. It is a naturally conceived and earth-nurtured 9-Order Celestial Sword.
It is a pity that when this sword was conceived, the Primordial Qi of the Vast Azure Celestial Realm had already been depleted. Otherwise, this blade might even have nurtured into an Ancient Primordial Sword.
In any case, this sword was a Taiyi Immortal Sword, the most supreme immortal blade of the highest caliber within the immortal realms. Eldrin felt that even if the 9 ancient dragon cauldrons were combined, their worth might only be comparable to this immortal sword.
Unless they found that wisp of Primordial Qi from the 9 Dragon Ancient Cauldron of yesteryear, restoring the cauldron to the rank of an Innate Treasure, there would be little difference in value between the 2.
However, if 1 could truly find a wisp of Primordial Qi and fuse it into this Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, it would be a creation rivaling that of forging an ancient innate divine sword.
Leaving aside the Primordial Qi, the value of the Taiyi Immortal Artifact alone required at least a Half-Step Celestial Immortal level of cultivation to have the capability to protect it.
Eldrin (Person Name) surmised that the Thunder God of Annihilation's cultivation was merely at the Earth Immortal Perfection stage, and had likely refrained from drawing this sword out of concern that it might be detected by the half-step Celestial Immortals navigating the great tribulation.
"Both Thunder Pools are enveloped by boundless tribulation lightning. Retrieving them won't be easy."
"Even a perfected Earth Immortal would likely struggle to retrieve these 2 supreme treasures without sufficient means," Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze shifting toward the 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit. While the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss seemed nearly impossible to obtain, he felt tremendous confidence in acquiring the 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit.
