Chapter 1828 : Return to Qingcang Immortal Domain
That Profound Yin Soul-Condensing Pearl was a rare treasure of Yin attribute, serving as a crucial catalyst for cultivating Yin-based supernatural powers. When refined by a female immortal who had cultivated Yin-aligned 7-Limit Magical Power, it could directly shatter the Magical Power Heavenly Barrier.
The 9 Revolutions Limit-Breaking Pill is also a medicinal elixir that refines spiritual power. Upon consumption, it can assist an Ancient Immortal with 8-limit cultivation in shattering the ninth barrier, ultimately achieving the 9-Limit Spiritual Power.
With the 7-Colored Immortal Refining Scripture and the 7-Colored Immortal Pearl (Spiritual Object) in their possession, these 2 treasures had become of little use to the 3 of them.
However, if given to Lila and the others, supplemented by the 7-Colored Immortal Pearl and the 7-Colored Immortal Refining Scripture, it would likely help them cultivate the 9-Limit Magical Power ahead of time.
By then, they would first shatter the Celestial Barrier of Magical Power, then use that breakthrough to nourish the cultivation of their physical bodies, the Great Dao, and their Dao Fruits. Lila (Person Name) and the others would likely see their cultivation speed advance by leaps and bounds.
With sufficient opportunity and the cultivation of the Divine Soul Barrier, 1 could very likely shatter the barriers of the Physical Body, the Great Path, and the Dao Fruit in rapid succession, breaking through to the realm of the Ancient Immortals in an exceedingly short time.
Compared to the conventional path of cultivating the physical body, the Great Dao, and the Dao Fruit, this path would save a vast amount of cultivation time.
Of course, without first achieving the embryonic form of the Great Dao, the Quasi-Majestic Paranirvana Body, and the Dao Fruit, attempting to cultivate the Dharma Apex and the Primordial Spirit Apex prematurely would be as difficult as scaling the heavens.
Given the foundations of Lila and Yan Zijie, even with rare treasures such as the 7-Colored Immortal Pearl and the 7-Color Immortal Refining Scripture, success was far from guaranteed in the end.
If they could obtain this 9 Revolutions Limit-Breaking Pill and the Profound Yin Soul-Condensing Pearl, their chances of success might increase by a small margin.
At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "Among these treasures, the Immortal-Suppressing Pagoda, the Heaven-Encompassing Net, the Ancient God-Slaying Spear, and the 5-Gem Glazed Armor are all superior-grade Primordial Treasures. Their value should range from 80 to 1 100 strands of Primordial Qi."
The 9 Revolutions Limit-Breaking Elixir and the Profound Yin Soul-Condensing Pearl were even more exorbitantly priced. As breakthrough treasures, their value remained precious even among treasures of the same tier.
"The former is equivalent to 80 strands of Innate Qi, while the latter yields superior effects, valued at approximately 1 100 strands of Innate Qi."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. "Then let's distribute them based on merit. What do you think?"
Eldrin, however, shook his head. In this battle, he had contributed the most—not only deploying the Primordial 5 Elements Gourd Formation but also expending primordial spiritual water worth dozens of strands of Primordial Qi.
If the rewards were truly allocated based on military merits, the 2 of them would likely receive no more than 150 strands of Primordial Qi.
Eldrin made a decisive gesture and declared without hesitation, "I shall take half of these items, and the remainder shall be entrusted to you all."
The 2 of them fell into brief contemplation upon hearing this, but in the end, neither voiced a refusal.
Seeing this, Eldrin retrieved the 9 Revolutions Limit-Breaking Elixir and the Profound Yin Soul-Condensing Pearl, then took the 5 Treasures Glazed Armor as well. "These 2 immortal pills will be useful to me, and I’ll also take the 5 Treasures Glazed Armor. The rest, you may divide among yourselves."
Without hesitation, the 2 made their choices. Patriarch Tianya took the Immortal-Suppressing Pagoda, while the Celestial Maiden claimed the Heavens-Encompassing Net. As neither found the Ancient God-Slaying Spear suitable for their cultivation, they decided to postpone its allocation until after it was sold.
Eldrin said nothing more upon seeing this. He escorted the 2 through the market district, where the God-Slaying Ancient Spear, the remaining 4 Innate Ancient Treasures, and the 3 portions of Innate Marvels were all sold off.
These 5 Primordial Treasures and 3 Primordial Wonders, along with various other scattered primordial rarities, were sold for a total of 502 strands of Primordial Qi.
Eldrin only took 2 100 strands, while the remaining 3 100 and 2 were split equally between them—each receiving 1 100 and 50-1 strands.
Thus, both Patriarch Tianya and the Celestial Maiden each received divine treasures valued at over 2 100 strands of innate wonders, their faces radiant with delight.
With ample funds at their disposal, the 2 indulged in a rare moment of extravagance, purchasing several innate treasures and rare medicinal catalysts for cultivating divine abilities before returning to their celestial grotto.
Having obtained the Primordial Yin-Yang Gourd, they had now met the prerequisite conditions for cultivating the 7-Colored Immortal Refining Scripture. The 3 of them subsequently settled into seclusion, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to their cultivation.
This time, it was still the Ancient 1 of the Endless Skies who began cultivating the 7-Colored Immortal Refining Scripture first. With the assistance of the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd, he spent 50,000 years in cultivation before finally achieving the 9 Limits Magical Power. He shattered the Magical Power Heavenly Barrier and broke through to the realm of a 4 Calamities Ancient Immortal.
Another 50 1000 years passed, and the Celestial Maiden's cultivation advanced yet another step, having also attained the realm of a 4 Tribulations Ancient Immortal.
Throughout this process, Eldrin continuously refined his cultivation techniques and accumulated profound foundations, beginning to attempt deducing the Great Perfection chapters of the Chaos Heavenly Scripture and the Indestructible Chaos Body.
Though it had not been fully deduced to the Great Perfection Realm, half a step had been taken, refining it to the Ancient Immortal Realm.
"The path ahead has been paved; I need only cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm to begin laying the foundation for the cultivation of the Ancient Immortal (Cultivation Realm) stage."
Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation, his gaze falling upon the ancient scripture in his hand. A pensive solemnity crept over his features.
This time, he had deduced the Chaos Heavenly Scripture and the Innate Primordial Indestructible Body to the realm of Ancient Immortals. The foundations of his Great Luo physical form and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Path had begun to take shape. All that remained was to refine and perfect them through cultivation.
At this thought, Eldrin flicked his sleeve and summoned 7 treasured gourds from outside the cavern abode.
Now that Skyreach Elder and Celestial Maiden had successively broken through to become 4-tribulation Ancient Immortals, it was also time for Eldrin (Person Name) to shatter the tenfold limit of his spiritual power.
Eldrin suddenly activated the 7 sacred gourds, then began circulating the 7-Colored Immortal Refining Scripture to temper his spiritual power by harnessing the Dao of Yin-Yang and the 5 Elements contained within the 7 primordial ancient treasures.
Thus time hurried by, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed in haste.
On this day, Eldrin jolted awake in his secluded cultivation chamber, only to realize the spiritual energy within him had grown profoundly unfathomable, its purity undergoing a qualitative transformation.
"Tenfold Limit of magical power?"
Eldrin murmured under his breath, sensing this unprecedented power as he discovered the quality of his spiritual energy had intensified by 50 percent.
Henceforth, when employing half-step Patriarch-level divine abilities, the power I unleash would surpass that of an ordinary Ancient Immortal by more than 50 percent.
Most crucially, Eldrin discovered that after cultivating 10-Limit Magic Power, he could now rely on magical energy to suppress his physical body and Dao Principles, even prompting the 2 to begin continuously merging. This process steadily enhanced the power of his Dao Fruit.
Although this process was rather slow—requiring at least 1,000,000 years to complete without external intervention—achieving the Great Ascension Dao Fruit could now unfold as naturally as water flowing downhill.
"If we head to the Chaos Sea, the pressure there could greatly accelerate this process."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, before finally setting the thought aside for the time being.
The Chaos Sea was far too perilous. Before venturing there, he decided to first return to the Qingcang Immortal Realm.
With this thought in mind, Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber.
Within the grotto-heaven at this moment, the Ancient 1 of the Remote Realms and the Celestial Maiden were immersed in secluded cultivation. Upon witnessing Eldrin (Person Name) emerge from his closed-door training, they could not refrain from inquiring.
"Has this seclusion led to a breakthrough?"
Eldrin did not reply. With a mere flick of his sleeve, he unleashed the supremely refined and peerless magical power.
This surge of magical power was immensely potent; even the faintest wisp possessed the supreme strength to shake the heavens, sending a chill of trepidation through both of them.
"An indescribable, supreme magical power."
As he spoke, even the Ancient 1 of the Distant Skies revealed a trace of envy.
Since time immemorial, those capable of breaking through the Tenth Limit Realm have been exceptionally rare prodigies, standing out as 1 in a 1000 even among the Ancient Immortals.
Such a figure, as long as they could shatter the 9 Heavenly Barriers and break through to the Great Perfection Realm, would undoubtedly rank among the formidable even among Great Perfection Immortal Lords.
Although they held immense confidence in Eldrin's innate talent, they dared not be certain of his success until witnessing it with their own eyes.
But when they saw that Eldrin had truly cultivated 10-Limit Magic Power, they were all filled with boundless envy.
The Celestial Maiden sighed softly and couldn't help but remark, "They say even among Great Luo Golden Immortals, few who shattered the 10 Limits Realm before their breakthrough are numbered."
"Those capable of shattering the 10 Limits Domain may not necessarily stand out among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, yet they undoubtedly hold a slight edge over others in the same realm."
"Today you have taken this step, yet it is merely the beginning. With your innate talent, I believe breaking through all 10 limits of the 7 Foundational Heavenly Passes will hardly pose a challenge to you."
Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly at these words. Without a trace of arrogance, he calmly replied, "Among those who managed to stand out from countless ancient immortals and shatter their destinies to attain the Great Dao of Da Luo, which 1 wasn't a peerless genius of their era?"
"I believe those predecessors must have possessed extraordinary qualities, and perhaps have already shattered the 10-limits realm."
The Ancient 1 of the Distant Skies nodded, yet shook his head. "Even if those Great Perfected Golden Immortals could cultivate a tenfold limit foundation, I suspect they only achieved their breakthroughs within the domains they truly excelled in."
"To cultivate all 7 foundational Heavenly Passes to their tenth limit is undoubtedly an exceedingly rare feat. Otherwise, these Tenth Limit Heavenly Passes would not be hailed as the foundation of a Primordial Chaos Emperor."
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Cultivating all 7 foundational Heavenly Barriers to their tenth limit was the foundation for becoming a Primordial Chaos Emperor.
Since time immemorial, countless forbidden prodigies who had cultivated through 12 heavenly tribulations at the Great Unity Realm—each hailed as possessing the potential of a Quasi-Sage Emperor—yet those who could forge 10-limit foundations at this realm remained exceedingly rare.
In truth, among those 12-calamity Taboo Imperial Sons, only a handful could break through to the Grand Luo Realm.
After all, potential is merely potential. The higher 1's cultivation realm, the more difficult it becomes to fully unlock their latent capabilities.
Those who attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm may not necessarily have been 12 Calamity Taboo Princes during their Earth Immortal stage.
However, even if they had only possessed an ordinary 3 Yi Foundation, as long as they could cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, their achievements would already surpass 90-9 percent of the Forbidden Prodigies.
Getting back to the main topic, Eldrin (Person Name) was unwilling to dwell further on the matter. With a faint smile, he invited the 2 to be seated and said, "I have now cultivated 10 limits of magical power, and you 2 have also broken through to the 4 Tribulations Ancient Immortal realm."
"Now, it is time for us to venture into the Chaos Sea."
"However, the Chaos Sea is perilous. I wish to return to the Qing Cang Immortal Domain once before venturing forth."
The Celestial Maidens nodded upon hearing this. 1 of them spoke up, "It has been nearly 5 100 1000 years since we departed from the Taihan Immortal Realm."
"I also wish to return for a time, both to broaden my cosmic horizons and enhance my strength, and also to check whether there are any anomalies within the pocket realm."
Tianya Patriarch also nodded, saying calmly, "It is time for me to return as well. To guard against encountering calamities within the primordial chaos, I shall leave some foundational reserves for the Tianya Grotto-Heaven."
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then let's return together. We shall come back to explore this Abyssal Sea another time."
The 3 of them resolved to return, vacating the grotto-abode and setting out that very day.
他们如今修为提升了不少,天涯老祖和天女打破法力天关之后,也能炼化三千仙域的混沌之气恢复法力了,穿梭混沌的速度自然也大的增加。
Thus, sparing no expenditure of magical power, they traversed the boundless Chaotic Sea, arriving near the Taihan Immortal Realm in merely 20,000 years.
Eldrin bid farewell to the 2 individuals and diverted his path toward the Qing Cang Immortal Realm. Not long after, he had returned to the domain of Qing Cang.
Before arriving at the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, Eldrin first returned to the Abyssal Heaven of Returning Ruin. He discovered that the Abyssal Cosmos had grown even more expansive, its diameter now astonishingly exceeding 2.5 billion light-years.
This vast universe was already comparable to that of a 3 Calamity Ancient Immortal.
"If this continues, it seems that by the time I break through to the Ancient Immortal realm, the universe will have expanded beyond 10 billion light-years."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint crease forming between his brows.
A miniature universe spanning over 10 billion light-years was already quite conspicuous around the Qingcang Immortal Realm, posing a risk of discovery.
But in the blink of an eye, the furrow between Eldrin's brows smoothed away.
Once a universe's diameter exceeds 10 billion light-years, it qualifies to be called a Greater Universe, whose power far surpasses that of lesser universes.
The Void Universe also possesses 5 Guardian True Spirits. By channeling the cosmic Dao to empower these guardians along with the Heavenly and Earthly Ancestors, any force below the 6 Tribulations Ancient Immortal level would find it impossible to breach its defenses.
Not to mention that the Void Universe remains under the protection of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, and with the favor of the Heavenly Dao, ordinary individuals would not dare to court death by venturing here.
After all, Eldrin (Person Name) still owed the Vast Azure Celestial Realm a single karmic golden light. Before this debt was repaid, the Vast Azure Celestial Realm would never allow Eldrin (Person Name) to perish, and would naturally extend its protection to the Abyssal Return Great Universe as well.
At this thought, Eldrin set aside his contemplations.
He did not linger long in the Return to Ruins Heaven, crossing into the Vast Azure Immortal Domain that very day and arriving within the Return to Ruins Heavenly Realm.
Arriving at the Abyssal Ruins, Eldrin found the realm relatively tranquil, yet an undercurrent of tension lingered in the air.
Husband.
Shortly after Eldrin arrived at the Abyssal Sanctuary, Lyra immediately detected his presence.
At the sight of Eldrin, Lyra could not contain her ecstasy and threw herself into his embrace.
After a long separation, Eldrin (Person Name) was overwhelmed with longing for his dao companions. He lingered intimately with them for what felt like an eternity before finally emerging from the blissful haze of their tender embrace.
That day, Eldrin held Lyra in his arms and couldn't resist asking, "When I returned, I noticed the tense atmosphere in the Abyssal Heaven Domain—has something happened?"
Lyra shook her head, her expression grave as she spoke, "There's nothing for now. However, over the past few years, many Celestial Immortals and Ancient Immortals have returned to the Qingcang Immortal Domain, leading to numerous conflicts. That's why we've become more cautious."
Eldrin listened intently, gradually grasping the chain of cause and effect.
As the opportunity for 100 Calamities Rebirth drew near, the Celestial Immortals who had ventured beyond the Cangqiong Immortal Domain in earlier years gradually returned, among them even numbered ancient Immortal Elders of profound power.
In recent days, the Celestial Immortals and Ancient Immortals, who had once sought refuge under various Great Luo Ancient Sects or the 3 Celestial Courts to break through to higher realms, now returned in droves to the Taihan Celestial Domain as the opportunity for 100 Tribulations Rebirth drew near.
After all, according to past conventions, the opportunity arising from the fall of the Great God Qingcang that occurs once every 1 100 kalpas could, at the very least, give rise to several 7-kalpa Ancient Immortals.
And this time, there was even a prophecy that a Great Luo Golden Immortal would emerge from the Qingcang Immortal Realm.
Such a heaven-defying opportunity would tempt even the great Luo Ancient Sects and Celestial Courts, let alone these Celestial Immortals and Ancient Immortals.
I stayed up all night until now just to reset my sleep schedule. Today's 8,000-word chapter is complete, folks. Please give me some
