Chapter 1791 : Shattered Xianyu(Realm)

The 3, including Eldrin, remained unaware of the news that the Golden-Winged Roc had arrived a step too late.

Not daring to linger in this chaotic expanse, they traversed the boundless chaotic spacetime and soon arrived beyond the Taihan Immortal Realm.

By the time they arrived at the Taihan Immortal Realm, they discovered that the Violet Radiance Cave Heaven had already returned ahead of them and had informed everyone about the anomaly in that chaotic region.

Shortly after their return to the Taihan Immortal Realm, news arrived that 5 ancient immortal elders had joined forces and departed together. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they were most likely embarking on an expedition to explore that concealed realm of primordial chaos.

"It seems the greatest opportunity within that supreme-grade Chaos Nest is no longer destined for us."

Upon learning this news, Patriarch Tianya could not help but sigh and say,

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded in agreement upon hearing this. With a full 5 Ancient Immortal powerhouses joining forces—including 1 who had survived 4 heavenly tribulations—such strength was sufficient to attempt an assault on a supreme-grade Chaos Nest.

The chaos where the 3 1000 Immortal Domains resided was suppressed by the domain's force field, making the chaos qi exceptionally thin and insufficient to nurture overly powerful primordial chaos beasts.

As a general rule, even with a supreme-grade Chaos Nest, the primordial beasts within would mostly be comparable to ancient immortals below the Third Heavenly Tribulation. It was exceedingly rare for such nests to nurture beings capable of surpassing the third tribulation.

With a full 5 Ancient Immortals joining forces now, there is a reasonable chance they might finally subdue it.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "Do not be disheartened. Such opportunities were never meant for the likes of us to covet."

"At present, our priority should be to enhance our strength as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

Tianya Ancestor nodded, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "If I can step into the realm of Ancient Immortals, with the combat prowess of a 3 Tribulations Ancient Immortal, I might still get a share of the spoils."

"Since your strength is still insufficient, it would be wiser to abandon such aspirations now."

At this point, Patriarch Tianya smiled and said, "This journey has been quite rewarding. Let us divide the spoils we've obtained."

The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion spoke thus, retrieving 1 precious treasure after another.

Eldrin and the Celestial Maiden exchanged a glance, unable to suppress faint smiles from gracing their lips.

This time, their harvest was exceptionally abundant, including precious Primordial Marvels and the flesh, blood, and inner elixirs of Chaos Ancient Beasts.

Among these treasures, the most precious few artifacts were the 'Immortal Spirit Fire Tree', the 'Inner Core of Primordial Chaos Flame Spirit', the '17 Strands of Innate Qi', and the 'Blood-Flesh Inner Core of the Primordial Chaos Horned Bull'.

Moreover, there were over a dozen innate treasures, each 1 greatly beneficial to cultivation.

Everyone was utterly captivated by these treasures.

As the most powerful individual, the master of the Horizon Pavilion did not hesitate, casting his gaze directly upon the Celestial Flame Tree and the Chaos Blaze Spirit Inner Elixir. "The Celestial Flame Tree could serve as our sect's foundational treasure, while the Chaos Blaze Spirit Inner Elixir would greatly benefit my cultivation," he declared.

"I cannot let these 2 treasures slip away, so I offer you my Primordial Qi in exchange. What say you?"

The Celestial Maiden and Eldrin exchanged a glance upon hearing this, then smiled. "Primordial Qi is something we would seek at all costs. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, Senior, we would have known what choice to make."

The Lord of the Endless Sky Pavilion smiled upon hearing this and promptly took away the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree and the Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, even without the essence of flesh and blood, the Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core alone would be sufficient for the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion to undergo a physical metamorphosis, increasing their combat power by 10 to 20 percent.

As a top-grade primordial ancient tree, the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree was likely worth more than half a Primordial Treasure, equivalent to 10 top-grade Primordial Treasures.

If it were to be traded, whether for a supreme immortal treasure or a primordial wonder to aid in cultivation, it would be more than enough to elevate the Master of the Endless Sky Pavilion to a whole new level of power.

At that time, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion would undoubtedly ascend to greater heights of power. With sufficient strength, should he venture into the Primordial Chaos again in the future, he might adopt a bolder and more aggressive approach, leading them to discover more Primordial Qi.

Therefore, Eldrin was quite supportive of this matter in his heart.

As the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion exchanged for 2 of the most precious treasures, Eldrin discussed with the Celestial Maiden and divided the remaining artifacts between them.

Of the 17 strands of Primordial Qi in total, Eldrin took 12, while the Celestial Maiden claimed the remaining 5.

As for the remaining treasures, the Celestial Maiden’s contributions were insufficient due to her limited strength and effort, so they were all given to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin took stock and discovered a total of 12 innate treasures, all at the early to middle innate stages—perfectly suited to serve as foundational assets for the various Celestial Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan.

In addition, there were several Chaos Ancient Beasts, along with the flesh, blood, and inner core of the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox—all of which fell into Eldrin’s possession.

After all, Eldrin had slain the Chaos Flamehorn Bull in this battle, participated in besieging the Chaos Fairy, single-handedly held off the Golden Winged Ancestor, and even used the Chaos Mist to help them escape the encirclement—all while being the first to plunder the Nest of Chaotic Immortal Flames.

It could be said that if the merits of the 3 individuals were divided into 10 shares, while the master of Horizon Ocean Pavilion claimed 5, Eldrin (Person Name) should rightfully hold about 4.

After receiving so many treasures, Eldrin was thoroughly satisfied.

He glanced at the Master of the Sky-Ocean Pavilion and couldn't resist asking, "I wonder if Senior would have time to help me refine a cauldron of 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the Master of the Endless Sky Pavilion chuckled softly, "Then allow me to lend you a hand."

Seeing this, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly. His cultivation base still had room for improvement; though capable of refining the 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill, his success rate remained modest.

Thus, he sought out the Master of the Endless Sky Pavilion, intending to request his assistance in jointly refining the Chaos Flame-Horned Bull into a 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.

With the consent of the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion, the 2 wasted no time and immediately began refining immortal pills using the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox.

Both Eldrin and the master of Tianya Haige were ninth-rank, superior-grade alchemists. Between the 2, Eldrin possessed greater innate understanding and finesse in alchemy, yet he labored under the limitation of insufficient cultivation.

The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion was a veteran ninth-rank, top-grade alchemist. However, lacking the transcendent insight of Eldrin that surpassed even the Great Luo Golden Immortals, his alchemy skills could only be considered adequate. He relied entirely on his profound cultivation and magic power to enhance his pill refinement success rate.

Now, with the 2 of them joining forces to refine the elixir, their complementary strengths unexpectedly yielded miraculous results in crafting this 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill.

In just 5 1000 years, they had successfully refined this cauldron of immortal pills, yielding a total of 5 full pellets.

"5 pills in a single batch!"

Gazing at the refined celestial elixir, even the master of the Horizon Pavilion felt a tremor in his heart. He couldn't help but cast an astonished glance at Eldrin.

He had cultivated for tens of millions of years, forged a Primordial Sacred Body through serendipity, and considered himself a peerless prodigy—standing among the absolute pinnacle of the immortal realm.

During the alchemy process moments ago, he had barely been able to contribute, merely following Eldrin's instructions from start to finish—a mere tool supplying magical power.

It was almost like a novice alchemy apprentice, or a young child just learning to recognize characters, tracing strokes under a teacher’s guidance.

This left him utterly astounded, finding it somewhat unbelievable, while his heart trembled with even greater shock.

"This person's talent and comprehension are like the brilliant moon in the highest heavens—fearsomely astounding, perhaps even surpassing that of ancient immortal masters."

In this moment, the master of the Edgewater Pavilion murmured inwardly, overcome by a wave of existential doubt.

You must understand, he was a supreme expert at the Great Perfection stage of Celestial Immortality. Even when facing an Ancient Immortal Patriarch, he would have the right to sit and discourse on the Dao as an equal. Yet before Eldrin (Person Name), he actually seemed as helpless as a child?

Does this not mean that even the talent of the Ancient Immortal Patriarch pales in comparison to Eldrin (Person Name)?

With this thought in mind, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion rose and bowed gracefully. "Your guidance today has greatly advanced my alchemy skills. You have my deepest gratitude."

"Senior, why must it come to this?"

Eldrin quickly rose to support him, smiling as he said, "Had you not intervened, Senior, with my current cultivation, I could have refined at most 3 pills from this batch."

"In that case, it seems I owe you a debt of gratitude."

Hearing this, the Master of the Endless Sky Pavilion said with a solemn expression, "On the path of immortality, those who attain enlightenment are our teachers. The guidance you've given me today cannot be measured by 3 mere pills."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) said nothing more.

This time, Elder Tianya's alchemy skills had truly advanced by leaps and bounds. From now on, his success rate for refining top-grade Ninth Rank pills could likely be maintained at around 4 pills per batch, while the yield for mid-to-low-grade Ninth Rank pills would increase by roughly 1-third.

You must understand, previously when Patriarch Tianya refined alchemy, producing a single furnace of ninth-rank superior-grade pills would only yield 1 or 2 viable pills, almost every batch resulting in a net loss. This could already be considered a tremendous improvement.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "In the art of alchemy, whether it's the medicinal properties of low-grade elixirs or the Dao principles of high-grade pills, their foundation lies in the logic of monarch, minister, assistant, and guide."

"If you can comprehend the innate Dao principles within the medicinal herbs and thoroughly grasp their mysteries, your pill refinement success rate will naturally increase dramatically."

Tianya Ancestor nodded upon hearing this, though a trace of bitter smile surfaced.

Comprehending the Dao principles within medicinal herbs was no easy feat. Unlike Eldrin (Person Name), whose profound enlightenment allowed him to perceive the Great Dao as clearly as tracing lines on his palm, he could only clumsily imitate the established methods. Thus, he focused on maximizing his pill refinement success rate by following the techniques pioneered by Eldrin (Person Name).

To return to our story, having successfully refined 5 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin felt utterly satisfied.

The 2 joined forces once more to refine the Chaos Immortal Spirit Inner Elixir, ultimately forging it into a transcendent pill of astonishing potency. Its medicinal efficacy approached the pinnacle of the ninth-grade, worthy of being called a Quasi-Primordial Ancient Pill.

After completing all this, Eldrin began refining the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir to enhance his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, while Patriarch Tianya also departed to prepare for refining the supreme-grade Ninth Rank Immortal Elixir.

After the departure of Skyline Elder, Eldrin decisively consumed and refined an immortal elixir. His Innate Primordial Indestructible Body immediately experienced partial growth.

After consuming 3 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills in succession, Eldrin's physical strength surged by another 30 percent. Finally, he ceased refining the pills and halted his efforts.

The reason Eldrin refrained from refining the 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill further was not due to any reluctance to part with it, but because additional refinement would disrupt the equilibrium among his Laws, Dao Fruits, and physical body.

The reason Eldrin (Person Name) now possessed combat strength equivalent to the Eighth Heaven of the Celestial Immortal realm was not solely due to his formidable physical body. More crucially, it stemmed from the qualitative transformation achieved through the perfect fusion of his physique, Dao Fruit, and laws—augmented further by the power of his numerous immortal treasures and divine abilities.

Once his physical body grew stronger once more, the sum of his Dao Fruit and magical power would be surpassed, causing these 3 forces to fall completely out of balance and ultimately dissipate that qualitative-transformation fusion.

When the 3 forces fail to harmonize, relying solely on the power of the Innate Primordial Undying Body, no matter how formidable, would only reach the level of a peak Seventh-Level Celestial Immortal at best. This would instead drastically diminish Eldrin's (Person Name) combat prowess.

After all, without the qualitative transformation from the fusion of the 3, Eldrin's magic power would plummet to the mid-stage Heavenly Immortal level. Whether activating divine abilities or wielding immortal treasures, their potency would be greatly diminished, leaving him no longer capable of confronting late-stage Heavenly Immortals head-on.

After consuming 5 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills in succession, he had reached the absolute limit of maintaining equilibrium.

"Now that the Dao Principles and Dao Fruits have reached a bottleneck, it seems I must break through to the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm soon to continue taking the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, ultimately storing away the remaining 2 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills.

After storing the remaining 2 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin emerged from the seclusion chamber to find that the Ancient 1 of the Distant Shores and the Celestial Maiden had also concluded their closed-door cultivation.

Tianya Ancestor's seclusion this time was not for a major breakthrough, but after consuming the Chaos Immortal Spirit Inner Elixir, the strength of his Primordial True Body had increased by 40 to 50 percent, while his overall combat power had risen by nearly 20 percent. It could be said his strength had grown significantly.

Yet even so, when Patriarch Tianya saw Eldrin (Person Name), instead of showing delight, his expression turned grave and complex as he said, "You've emerged at just the right time. This news has just arrived."

The Ancient 1 of the Horizon spoke as he handed a sealed letter to Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin took it and glanced over it, his expression instantly turning grave as a look of shock surfaced. He couldn't help but exclaim,

"How is this possible?"

It wasn’t that Eldrin (Person Name) was making a fuss over nothing, but the information recorded in this letter was truly staggering.

The letter bore but a single line of tidings: Patriarch Taixun and 4 other Ancient Immortals had joined forces to venture into a supreme-grade Primordial Chaos Nest. In the ensuing battle, 3 perished and 2 were gravely wounded—even Patriarch Taixun, a Fourth Tribulation Ancient Immortal, returned bearing devastating injuries.

This news was truly too shocking to comprehend. 1 must understand that Ancient Immortal Great Adepts were beings who had weathered countless tribulations without perishing. Such figures had dominated the Immortal Realm for at least several 100 million years—entities extraordinarily difficult to slay.

Not only that, within the chaos of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, ordinary early-stage Celestial Immortals would have their power suppressed by 60 to 70 percent, while late-stage Celestial Immortals would be suppressed by approximately 50 percent.

However, as an Ancient Immortal who had shattered the 10 Heavenly Barriers, they would not be overly suppressed by the Chaos Qi.

Generally speaking, ancient immortals would only have their combat power suppressed by 20 to 30 percent, meaning they could still unleash 70 percent, or even over 80 percent, of their peak strength.

Such astonishing ancient immortal experts, and a full 5 of them joining forces—if they had failed to breach a Chaos Lair, it would be understandable. But how could they have inexplicably perished in a single supreme-grade Chaos Lair?

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"

The Celestial Maiden’s expression turned profoundly grave upon hearing this. After a long silence, she finally spoke, “During your time in seclusion, rumors have been swirling like storm winds across the Frigid Celestial Realm.”

"According to the 2 returning Ancient Immortals, what lies within that chaos isn't a supreme-grade, ninth-tier Chaos Nest, but rather a shattered immortal realm."

The Shattered Celestial Realm?

Eldrin (Person Name) started slightly, a look of astonishment flashing across his face.

Elder Tianya nodded and continued, "Legend has it that it is a shattered immortal realm drifting from beyond the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. Its origins are lost to time, likely left behind by a senior who attained the Great Luo Realm in the depths of primordial chaos."

Within it lay 7 celestial realms, adrift in the primordial chaos. Enhanced by the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact, it had drawn countless primordial chaos beasts to nest within its domains.

Legend has it that within the Shattered Celestial Realm, there exist at least several 1000 primordial chaos beasts, with suspicions of 7 supreme-grade chaos nests of the ninth rank. Over a dozen chaos beast kings, comparable to ancient immortals, have already been discovered.

In that legendary battle, 5 Ancient Immortals were besieged by 8 or 9 Chaos Beast Kings. Among them was an immensely powerful Chaos Beast King whose strength rivaled that of a fifth-order Ancient Immortal. The confrontation was so devastating that 3 of the Ancient Immortals were denied even the slightest chance to escape.

"A shattered immortal realm beyond the 3 1000 Immortal Domains?"

Eldrin (Person Name) was inwardly astonished and couldn't help but ask, "Beyond the 3,000 celestial realms, do other immortal domains exist?"

Elder Tianya nodded and said calmly, "Though the 3 1000 immortal domains remain stable, they are suppressed by the Primordial Immortal Domain, resulting in diluted chaos energy. This makes them unsuitable for advancing the cosmos into an immortal domain, nor conducive to the cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortals."

Therefore, all claimed immortal domains are located deep within the Chaotic Sea beyond the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. There, the Chaos Qi is inexhaustible, forming a liquid sea of chaos where treasures abound at every turn—truly a realm of boundless opportunities.

Now, the Golden Immortals of the 3 Celestial Courts, the great ancient sects, and the 100 Spirit Immortal Clans—even the ancient mighty ones who have transcended 4 heavenly tribulations—are almost all cultivating and journeying through the Chaos Sea.

At this point, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, "The Chaotic Sea beyond the 3,000 Immortal Domains is a land of boundless opportunities, yet also the most perilous and terrifying place."

"There exist Chaos Fiends comparable to Great Perfected Ones, and even Chaos Primordials that rival Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages—each an indescribable existence."

There, magnificent epochal battles would always erupt, each clash grand enough to shake the annals of history across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

"Let alone immortals like us, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might fall within. There have been celestial realms shattered by the Chaos Fiend Gods."

"This dilapidated immortal realm before us is most likely 1 shattered by the Chaos Godfiends, accidentally drifting into the 3 1000 Immortal Realms along the tides of primordial chaos."
