Chapter 1821 : Spirit Treasure Celestial Pass

After some experimentation, he discovered that the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir(Pill) possessed an exceptionally profound medicinal potency—each pill contained several times the energy of an ordinary 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir(Pill).

Though it still could not compare to the 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir(Pill) refined from the flesh and blood of a Chaos Beast King, it had already achieved 80 percent of its efficacy.

"With this immortal elixir, my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body can advance yet another step."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, immediately retrieving a 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill and swallowing it.

In the very moment he swallowed that 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill, Eldrin felt a surge of overwhelming energy flood into his body.

"What incredibly pure medicinal potency."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly as he immediately began refining this 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill with all his might.

As he continued his refinement, his Innate Primordial Indestructible Body, which had shown little progress for years, now began to steadily advance. In the blink of an eye, it had already grown by a fraction.

When he finally refined this 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill, he discovered his physical body had strengthened by over 10 percent.

Thus, Eldrin (Person Name) persevered, fully refining all 9 9-Revolutions Immortal Pills before slowly exhaling a breath.

The power of his physical body had increased by another 50 percent.

After refining all the elixirs, Eldrin sensed the power within himself and felt a wave of reassurance.

After cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to perfection, his physical form had shown little progress for many years. Yet now, by refining 9 5-Elements 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills in 1 sitting, he had achieved a staggering surge in bodily strength—a feat that could only be described as utterly astonishing.

Such a formidable Innate Chaos Indestructible Body, though still some distance from perfection, had already transcended a certain limit.

If measured purely by physical body strength, even the Half-Step Great Perfection Physique of many First Tribulation Ancient Immortals would be far inferior to the current Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

Alas, at this stage, the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir had become utterly useless for cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

To achieve complete perfection of the Innate Primordial Indestructible Body, a genuine 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir is required.

"10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir…"

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before finally setting aside his thoughts and emerging from the secluded cultivation chamber.

After exiting the seclusion chamber, Eldrin discovered that the Ancient 1 of the Heavenly Edge was still in closed-door meditation to heal his wounds. Thus, he and the Celestial Maiden devoted themselves to cultivation within the cave abode, quietly awaiting the Ancient 1's emergence.

Thus, another 10 1000 years had passed.

After 10 1000 and some years had passed, Patriarch Tianya emerged from his seclusion chamber.

Eldrin observed his complexion appeared normal and couldn't help but ask with a gentle smile, "Your aura seems remarkably vibrant, Senior. I presume your injuries have fully healed?"

"Hmm."

Tianya Ancestor nodded, then said with a smile, "My injuries have recovered by 90 percent. All that remains is to recuperate for a period of time."

"Very well."

The Celestial Maiden also breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with a smile, "Since Fellow Daoist Tianya has fully recovered, what should we do next?"

Witnessing this, Eldrin fell into a contemplative silence, lost in deep thought.

Before they knew it, the 3 of them had already spent over 70,000 years at the edge of the Chaos.

During this period, Eldrin gained tremendous rewards, yet neither the Celestial Maiden nor the Venerable Tianya encountered any significant opportunities.

If they were to return just like that, this trip would have been a complete waste for the 2 of them. Moreover, those few enemies were likely still waiting outside the Tianya Immortal Realm. Going back now would mean facing another confrontation.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but remark, "With 30,000 years remaining until the Chaotic Tide, I intend to continue my exploration—perhaps fate may grant me some opportunities."

Tianya Patriarch and the Celestial Maiden both fell into brief contemplation upon hearing this. After a moment's hesitation, they ultimately nodded in agreement with Eldrin's suggestion.

They knew full well that after Eldrin's breakthrough this time, he had become the strongest combatant among the 3. At the very least, within these chaotic seas, Eldrin's power would far surpass that of the other 2.

Traveling alone would be far less secure for the 2 of them than following Eldrin.

Seeing their agreement, Eldrin retrieved the Innate 5 Elements Gourd from his hand and said, "This time we’ve obtained 5 Innate Ancient Treasures. By rights, these innate rare treasures should be distributed equally among us."

"However, these 5 Treasures are intrinsically connected and should not be separated. Moreover, I've shamelessly refined them after borrowing their essence to achieve my breakthrough. I sincerely hope you both won't take offense."

At these words, Eldrin promised, "But rest assured, should we come across any rare treasures in the future, I shall grant you both first pick."

"Impossible"

Tianya Ancestor immediately declined upon hearing this, "The 2 of us breaking through to Ancient Immortal realm already places us under an immense debt of gratitude to you. We had agreed from the beginning to seek opportunities in the Primordial Chaos Sea to aid your breakthrough."

"You have already contributed greatly to this endeavor, and now you owe me a life-saving debt. How could we have the audacity to claim any treasures?"

Hearing this, Eldrin fell into a contemplative silence.

After a moment, Eldrin still conceded: "To be perfectly honest, the Primordial 5 Elements Gourd is truly priceless. For cultivators at our level, it's an exceptionally rare treasure."

"A treasure of such rarity, it would be improper for me to hoard it all alone."

"Very well, I shall take custody of this artifact and grant each of you a personal favor."

"If I ever break through to the Great Luo Realm in the future, I shall personally assist you in reforging your foundations. Moreover, when you attempt your own ascension to Great Luo, I shall bestow upon you an opportunity to aid your breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Maiden and the Ancient 1 of the Endless Skies felt a tremor in their hearts, sinking into an ineffable state of astonishment.

According to Eldrin's words, does this not mean he has the confidence to break through to the Great Perfection Realm? Such magnificent ambition! I'm afraid the vast majority of 6-tribulation ancient immortals might not possess this level of courage.

However, recalling that Eldrin (Person Name) was merely at the Eighth Heavenly Immortal Realm yet possessed foundations comparable to a Second Tribulation Ancient Immortal, they felt somewhat reconciled.

If even with Eldrin's (Person Name) talent, innate gifts, and accumulated foundation, he could not break through to the Great Perfection Realm, then how many in this world could possibly achieve it?

At this thought, Patriarch Tianya nodded and said, "If that day truly comes, the value of this favor would likely increase by thousands of times."

Elder Tianya also nodded, his gaze blazing as he said, "Indeed. Without the support of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, attempting to break through to the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal realm is nothing short of a fool’s delusion."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as he recalled the Eighth Heavenly Trial.

Within the 9 Celestial Passages of the Great Dao, the eighth barrier is named the Numinous Treasure Passage. As the name implies, it requires 1 to completely refine and assimilate a single Innate Numinous Treasure.

However, how precious are Connate Numinous Treasures? Such divine objects are all rare marvels born of the chaos of creation. Generally speaking, the vast majority of those at the early Great Perfected Immortal stage possess only a single Connate Numinous Treasure.

Those who possessed 2 Innate Spiritual Treasures were either the cream of the crop among early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals or peerless divine fiends at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

A mere 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal—by what virtue or ability could they each possess a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?

Thus, the vast majority of 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals achieved their breakthrough by securing the patronage of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, borrowing an Innate Spiritual Treasure to refine and shatter the eighth heavenly barrier.

Most crucially, according to Eldrin (Person Name), even innate spiritual treasures had limitations when assisting others in breaking through the Heavenly Barrier.

It is said that the innate Dao charm within an Innate Spiritual Treasure can aid 1 in shattering the Eighth Heavenly Barrier. However, after assisting an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal in breaking through the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Barrier, the Innate Spiritual Treasure becomes temporarily bound to that 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

Should that 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal fail in his breakthrough to the Great Perfection and perish, the Dao essence of the Primordial Spiritual Treasure would be utterly lost, requiring dozens of kalpas to restore.

And once the 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal finally shatters the Ninth Heavenly Barrier to attain the Great Perfection, the Dao essence within this Primordial Spiritual Treasure will bind with them, becoming the ultimate treasure that anchors their Great Dao. From that moment on, it can never again assist others in ascending to the Great Perfection Realm.

Thus, even within the Great Luo Ancient Sect, ordinary 7-Tribulation Ancient Immortals were unqualified to refine an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Throughout the 3,000 immortal domains, the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals were almost exclusively either direct disciples of major Mahayana ancient sects or personal apprentices of Mahayana Golden Immortals.

Only a personal disciple of a Great Luo Golden Immortal could compel 1 to part with such a treasure, bestowing a Primordial Spiritual Artifact to aid their breakthrough.

And as the price, should the breakthrough fail, the innate spiritual treasure would be severely depleted of its primordial energy; should it succeed, the treasure would merge with the wielder's Great Dao, becoming their ultimate proof of enlightenment.

Whichever it may be, either would exact an unimaginably steep price from even the most formidable Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even a Great Perfection Realm expert in the early stage might not possess a single Innate Spiritual Treasure. Only those at the mid to late stages of the Great Perfection Realm, with far greater accumulated wealth, could occasionally spare 1 or 2 surplus Innate Spiritual Treasures to bestow upon their disciples.

For instance, the esteemed Great Chill Emperor, a Quasi-Sage Sovereign of his realm, bestowed nearly a 1000 Primordial Spirit Treasures (Magic Treasure) upon his disciples over time. Ultimately, 13 unparalleled prodigies emerged from this, forging the Great Chill Ancestral Court’s (Sect) legendary reputation of producing 13 Golden Immortals of the Great Roaming (Cultivation Realm).

Spirit Treasure Heavenly Pass.

Eldrin murmured softly, a flicker of astonishment gleaming in his eyes.

Compared to those ancient immortals of great power who lacked backing, the opportunities of these direct disciples of the Great Luo Ancient Sects were simply too heaven-defying.

Especially among those powerful Great Luo ancient sects and orthodox traditions, high-ranking Golden Immortals of the Great Luo Realm would often bestow their outdated inferior-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures as heritage treasures upon promising disciples and descendants, enabling them to break through the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Barrier.

For instance, within the Celestial Frost Immortal Domain, once every 10 kalpas, the Frost Sovereign would bestow a single Innate Spiritual Treasure. Whoever succeeded in refining it would be granted the honor of becoming a nominal disciple under the Frost Sovereign's tutelage.

Once he breaks through with it, he will become a direct disciple of Emperor Taihan.

This is also why, since ancient times, the Taihan Immortal Realm has almost always had the existence of 8 Calamity Ancient Immortals at regular intervals.

And such ancient immortals of great power, blessed with influential backgrounds, need only break through the 7 Calamities realm to likely ascend directly in a single step, shattering the Eighth Heavenly Barrier.

If 1 possessed sufficient strength and then broke through the Ninth Heavenly Barrier in a single surge, that would truly be ascending to the heavens in 1 step.

In contrast, for ancient immortals without a Great Luo lineage, breaking through the Eighth Heavenly Barrier was nearly as difficult as scaling the heavens.

Thus, whenever a single Innate Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure) appears, it drives the 3 1000 immortal realms into a frenzy, with countless 7-tribulation and even 8-tribulation Ancient Immortals (Cultivator) fighting to the death over it.

Under such circumstances, only those blessed with heaven-defying fortunes could advance into an innate spiritual treasure on their own. Although the primordial chaos contained numerous innate spiritual treasures, the vast majority were divine artifacts with owners, nearly all of them wielded by Chaos Gods and Demons.

A mere 7 Calamities Ancient Immortal, without the backing of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, actually managed to obtain a Primordial Spiritual Treasure—this was nothing short of defying the heavens with unimaginable fortune.

"I have the protection of the Guixu Pearl, so the Divine Treasure Heavenly Pass poses no obstacle."

"Yet to prevent any mishaps, I must still carefully conceal the secrets of this treasure."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his regard for the Abyssal Pearl rising to new heights.

He had made up his mind—until he possessed the combat prowess of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, he must never reveal the secret of the Abyssal Pearl.

At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze once more toward Old Man Tianya and the Celestial Maiden.

Although the 2 had never seen the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, they had witnessed a trace of divine power from its subsidiary pearl, and perhaps some conjecture had long taken root in their hearts.

Although he shared an extremely close friendship with the 2, Eldrin remained exceedingly cautious in such matters. He thus pledged, "Rest assured, once I break through to the Great Luo realm, I will undoubtedly be able to rebuild your foundations."

"I will also find a way to help you acquire the innate spiritual treasures required to pass the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Trial."

Tianya Ancestor was utterly exhilarated upon hearing this, yet his emotions settled back to tranquility in the blink of an eye.

He grasped Eldrin’s hand and firmly refused, saying, “You need not dwell on it. Everyone walks their own path of destiny.”

"Your potential is boundless. Should you ever break through to the Great Perfection Realm, it would be best to cultivate through your own efforts."

"If you can attain the rank of a high-level Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even reach the quasi-Sage Emperor level, then extending guidance to us old acquaintances would carry significantly greater certainty."

The Celestial Maiden also nodded, her expression turning solemn as she said, "You have saved our lives on several occasions. We owe you an immense debt of gratitude—how could we possibly dare to ask for more?"

Hearing this, Eldrin realized that these 2 had most likely guessed he possessed an innate spiritual treasure with spatial attributes.

However, both were individuals of noble character and naturally harbored no greed in this matter. Instead, they urged me to prioritize my own considerations.

At this thought, Eldrin said with a smile, "There's no use dwelling on what lies ahead. What matters is taking each step before us now."

"If I truly manage to break through to the Great Luo Realm, I shall never forget all of you in the days to come."

Tianya Patriarch and the Celestial Maiden couldn't help but smile faintly upon hearing this. For immortal beings like them who had attained eternal life, they had long ceased to focus solely on short-term gains.

In their eyes, if Eldrin could truly break through to the Great Luo Realm, they would not hesitate to follow him with their full devotion—even if it meant perishing on this path.

True high-level immortals have long since cast their gaze beyond the river of time—spanning millennia, tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of millions of years—transcending even the cycles of life and death.

To fulfill the deepest desire of 1's heart, even the cycle of 3 lives and 7 rebirths, or the slumber spanning hundreds of millions of years, could be regarded as but a single move on the chessboard.

As long as Eldrin (Person Name) achieves the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, transcending the River of Fate, then reviving an old acquaintance from the River of Time would pose no difficulty—it would merely require paying a certain price.

It was precisely for this reason that nearly every Great Perfection True Seed would attract countless Celestial Immortals and even Ancient Immortals to stake their entire fortunes and pledge allegiance.

For once achieved, it would mean liberation from all calamities and tribulations, granting true ease and everlasting life.

And if 1 were to fail...

That cosmic calamity swept through 3 1000 immortal realms—a boundless catastrophe impossible to evade. Without the protection of a Great Perfected Being, even an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal could not hope to remain unscathed.

Whether 1 enters the tribulation or not, none can escape the boundless calamity in the end.

"Let's go."

Eldrin (Person Name) snapped back to reality and ceased dwelling on these thoughts.

He gazed into the depths of the chaos, a faint smile gracing his lips as he rose from his Chaos Nest. Then, with both companions in tow, he tore through the turbulent void, venturing forth into the boundless expanse of the Endless Chaos Sea.

"Now, let us once more seek the opportunities hidden within this Chaos Shoal."
