Chapter 1516 : Postnatal Primordial Chaos Qi
But that wasn't the crucial part—Eldrin's Primordial Chaos Rules were not far from reaching perfection.
According to his estimation, once the breakthrough was complete, the Primordial Chaos Infinite Rule, though it might not compare to the Supreme Unity Dao Principle, would likely undergo a tremendous enhancement.
Under the empowerment of the perfected Primordial Chaos rules, the Abyssal Realm would once again expand, its fundamental essence would undergo a significant enhancement, and the condensed Primordial Yellow Qi of Heaven and Earth would experience a remarkable increase.
"Now, my combat prowess has finally increased by a few more degrees."
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, setting aside matters of the future for now. Having just broken through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, he faintly sensed an immense elevation in his own magical power.
This breakthrough not only increased his magic power by over 50 percent, but also brought about a qualitative transformation in the power of the world's origin, further enhancing his overall combat prowess by several degrees.
Although the Primordial Chaos Infinite Rule had not yet reached perfection and could not compare to the Primordial Indestructible Body, when used to activate divine abilities and the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron, the unleashed power was nearly on par with that of the Primordial Indestructible Body.
With this thought, Eldrin once again submerged his consciousness into the Earth Immortal Realm.
But within his Earth Immortal realm, beyond the boundless heavens and earth, a vast and expansive starry sky had been completely unveiled.
This starry expanse was vast and boundless, with immense amounts of void energy emerging, giving birth to countless stars. Yet this process was far from swift—Eldrin estimated that filling this celestial sphere would take no less than several million years.
With this thought in mind, Eldrin retrieved an ancient vial from his sleeve. Sealed within it was the star he had cherished for so many years.
He cast all these stars into the Earth Immortal Realm, and instantly the celestial expanse beyond was shrouded by countless glittering constellations.
"Combined with the 30,000,000 stars previously refined, the total now amounts to 50,000,000 stars." "Though the limit has not yet been reached, it is close."
When nearly half of the extraterrestrial starscape in the Return to Ruins Realm had been filled, Eldrin slowly let out a sigh of relief.
These ancient stars, vast and boundless, had been cast by him into the Abyssal Return Realm and were now gradually being refined.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if he were to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Earth Immortal realm, he would need to refine approximately 3 100 and 90 million ancient extraterrestrial stars before this domain of outer space could reach its limit.
By that time, the primordial qi of the Abyssal Realm would surge by another 80 percent.
Of course, the Abyssal Realm now encompassed the celestial starscape, and in the future, he would need to condense the essence of stellar origins. To advance his cultivation to the next level would demand an even more protracted span of time.
Generally speaking, an early-stage Earth Immortal who has opened the Sixth Heaven would require approximately 200,000 years of arduous cultivation to advance by 1 layer of cultivation, provided they have no shortage of Immortal Origin and Immortal Spirit Qi.
As for those at the late stage of Earth Immortal, because their inner world had expanded several times more than that of an early-stage Earth Immortal, coupled with the creation of an extraterrestrial starry sky, their cultivation speed would drastically decrease.
It is widely acknowledged that even with an abundance of resources, an Earth Immortal at the late Sixth Heaven stage would require at least 5 100 1000 years to advance a single layer in cultivation.
Eldrin had opened 13 celestial layers. Without the aid of external treasures, relying solely on the immortal spiritual energy provided by the blessed land and the assistance of a dozen or so Imperial Lords to operate the primordial treasure, it would likely take nearly a million years to advance just 1 layer.
Fortunately, within his Earth Immortal realm, there were 13 lower-grade Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) absorbing void energy and converting it into primordial qi of heaven and earth to enhance cultivation speed. This could roughly shorten the duration to over 6 100 1000 years.
On this foundation, with the aid of spiritual treasures like the Immortal Peach Tree and abundant resources, coupled with the assistance of a vast quantity of Galaxy Star Sand Pills, it is estimated that it would take 300,000 years to advance just 1 layer.
"With my current cultivation level, advancing even a single stage in the Earth Immortal Realm would require consuming at least 30-6 bottles of the Galaxy Star-Sand Elixir."
"Compared to the Earth Immortal mid-stage, the increase is more than twofold." Eldrin murmured softly, a faint sigh escaping his heart.
His Earth Immortal realm was so vast that his mana was more than twice as profound as that of an ordinary seventh-level Earth Immortal, yet it also caused him to consume resources on an even grander scale.
Without the gains from the Yin and Yang microcosms, his cultivation speed at the Earth Immortal realm's later stage would certainly have slowed considerably.
The Chen Clan had 9 experts on the verge of reaching the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, relying solely on the resources of the "100 Seas of the Returning Abyss"—specifically, the 100 Seas of Flowing Rivers.
To refine these 9 supreme prodigies over 5 100 1000 years,
To cultivate them all to the peak of Earth Immortal realm would likely fall far short of what is required.
"This miniature universe in the mortal realm represents the greatest opportunity for our Chen Clan's rise." "We must secure ample gains and ensure every member returns alive." Eldrin murmured inwardly, promptly emerging from his secluded cultivation chamber.
He did not depart from the Abyssal Realm immediately. Instead, he drew from his sleeve a crimson ancient iron, slowly revealing it in his palm.
This iron is known as Chixiao Ancient Iron, a supreme treasure of the Flowing Fire Star Palace. Within it lies a single Taiyi Dao Pattern, making it the finest material for forging a Life-Bound Immortal Treasure.
Eldrin intended to fuse it into the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to enhance the magical treasure's potency. As an eighth-grade supreme ancient iron, the Crimson Sky Ancient Iron was indestructible and impervious to calamities, making its refinement no simple task.
If Eldrin (Person Name) were to channel the Primordial Yang Heavenly Flame himself, it would take no less than 8,000 years to refine it.
Fortunately, this Flowing Fire Blessed Land was a peak-grade fire vein sanctuary, where the earth fire's power was potent enough to melt even the rarest primordial treasures. With the earth fire's amplification of the Pure Yang Celestial Flames, Eldrin's refinement speed skyrocketed by no less than tenfold.
In just under a 1000 years, he had completely smelted the Crimson Sky Ancient Iron, refining it into a mass of purified treasure liquid. He then infused this purified liquid into the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), instantly rendering the sword's blade even more indestructible.
Once the sword body was successfully forged, Eldrin opened his mouth and exhaled a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.
Having cultivated to this day, his Primordial Purple Qi had grown increasingly mystical. Depending on the amount of Qi consumed, he had refined 3 distinct types of Primordial Purple Qi.
These 3 strands of Primordial Purple Qi were named by Eldrin (Person Name) as the Primal Purple Qi, the Acquired Primordial Purple Qi, and the Acquired Primordial Origin Breath.
Primordial Purple Qi was the most ancient form of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi. Eldrin required merely 10 years to refine a single strand. Though this qi possessed boundless miraculous applications, its essence remained too sparse and faint—to celestial beings, it had long ceased to hold substantial value.
The acquired Primordial Purple Qi possessed extraordinary efficacy, having been refined from 40-9 strands of the primordial source purple qi. It took Eldrin approximately 5 100 years to refine a single strand.
This energy, with its intricacies surpassing even the Primal Chaos Qi, could help spiritual roots break their shackles and ascend to the Primal Chaos Realm. Yet, its potency had grown significantly more diluted.
Thus, 10 strands of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi are required to advance and cultivate a single Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).
Later, Eldrin utilized a wisp of Acquired Primordial Purple Qi (Primordial Qi) supplemented by World-Originating Qi (Primordial Qi) to advance into a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), which significantly reduced the consumption of Acquired Primordial Purple Qi.
The "Postnatal Primordial Qi of Chaos," on the other hand, was formed by the coalescence of 30-6 strands of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi. It took Eldrin nearly 20,000 years to refine just 1 strand.
This Postnatal Primordial Source Qi was the ultimate substance of the acquired realm, its efficacy surpassing that of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi by a hundredfold.
