Chapter 1861 : True Spirit Primordial Soul

After comprehending the profound mysteries of the 9-Aperture Divine Soul, Eldrin felt immense joy stirring within his heart.

He knew clearly in his heart that with this 9-Orifice Soul, his other divine abilities could now merge into his innate divine abilities.

At this thought, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately began to merge his innate divine abilities.

Now possessing the 9-Orifice Soul, merging innate supernatural abilities no longer required the same frugality as in the past. Yet over the years, Eldrin had cultivated a full array of several 1000 distinct supernatural abilities, the vast majority of which were merely orthodox-level Heaven-Opening supernatural abilities.

Thus, Eldrin had to carefully deliberate on which divine abilities to integrate.

After a moment of contemplation, Eldrin immediately integrated 3 divine abilities: the Primordial Chaos Qi, the 5 Elements Divine Light, and the Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder. The Great Deduction of Yin-Yang and Stars, as a celestial mechanism divine ability, was also the unparalleled choice for cultivating his innate divine power.

For the fifth aperture, Eldrin decisively chose the Chaos Soldier Derivation Art. This technique originated from the Star Soldier Derivation Art, which Eldrin had long since refined to an unprecedented level. Its future potential was immense, fully capable of evolving into a transcendent divine ability.

As for the sixth aperture, he contemplated for a moment before choosing to integrate the Boundless Cosmos Sword Art. After all, this was an Archbishop-tier divine ability. If he could later master the Song of Ages Blade, he would even be able to fuse them together to unleash the potential of a True Spirit divine ability.

After integrating the 6 innate divine abilities, Eldrin ceased further fusion and murmured thoughtfully, "The seventh aperture shall be reserved for the Song of Ages Blade, while the remaining eighth and ninth apertures require careful consideration."

At this point, Eldrin slowly withdrew his thoughts.

He planned to wait until later, after comprehending the Primordial Dao Scripture—Chapter of Divine Powers, to create suitable divine abilities and Dao techniques.

Thinking of this, Eldrin slightly consolidated his newly formed primordial spirit before turning his gaze toward the remnant husk of the primordial spirit.

At this moment, under the bombardment of the Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder, the old primordial spirit was now riddled with cracks, fragments continuously breaking off and flying into the Primordial Chaos Grinding Mill to be pulverized.

"This remnant of the old primordial spirit might allow me to advance another step."

Eldrin murmured softly, his old spirit soul not yet completely shattered. Once it was fully refined into nourishment for the nascent spirit soul, the newborn spirit soul would still possess vast room for growth.

At this thought, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately intensified the power of the Chaos Divine Thunder, relentlessly striking it upon his old primordial spirit.

With Eldrin (Person Name) unleashing his full power, even though the old primordial spirit could be called an indestructible primordial spirit, under the relentless bombardment of such supreme divine abilities, it finally began to shatter at an accelerated pace.

With a resounding boom, the massive primordial spirit finally began to disintegrate, scattering into countless fragments that filled the sky.

Eldrin swiftly gathered them and cast them all into the Chaotic Great Millstone, beginning to grind and pulverize them into the purest essence of soul origin.

Meanwhile, Eldrin’s nascent soul continuously radiated a divine and mystical light, inhaling and exhaling the purest primordial essence from the Chaos Great Millstone.

Throughout this process, his primordial spirit began to steadily grow, becoming increasingly powerful and magnificent without his conscious awareness.

No 1 knew how much time had passed, but when Eldrin had refined 30 percent of the primordial essence, his primordial soul finally underwent a qualitative transformation.

"Bzzz—"

A series of resonant hums filled the air. Eldrin felt his spiritual platform become ethereal, as if his primordial spirit had transcended the confines of flesh and mortal dust. It ascended through the boundless chaotic void, arriving before a vast, primordial ocean of the Great Dao.

Within the sea eye, Eldrin (Person Name) glimpsed a hazy light drifting upon its surface—an undying radiance that could never be extinguished.

It transcended fate and the Heavenly Dao, surpassing even the vast primordial laws.

Eldrin needed but a single glance to recognize this as the radiance of absolute indestructibility and immortality. Born at the dawn of chaos’ division, it was the eternal true spirit derived from the Primordial Genesis—the very origin of all living beings.

Undying True Spirit.

"So that's how it is."

At this moment, Eldrin murmured softly as he attained enlightenment into the profound mysteries of the Indestructible True Spirit.

It turns out that the Primal Spirit is the origin of all living beings, possessing the attribute of absolute and eternal indestructibility. Even a Dao Ancestor or an Immortal Sage would be incapable of eradicating it.

All living beings in the primordial chaos originally evolved from this single indestructible true spirit.

Throughout the boundless realms, with the birth of each soul, the Eternal True Spirit divides a fragment of its essence to merge with it, nurturing a unique True Spirit that belongs solely to the newborn soul.

Only a spirit possessing a True Spirit Mark can be called a soul or a divine soul.

However, while the true spirit remains eternal, the soul can still decay. When countless mortals, cultivators, and immortals fall, their primordial spirits are completely worn away until they utterly collapse and disintegrate.

At this moment, the True Spirit would return to become a True Spirit Mark. Should it reincarnate again, it would no longer be the same individual as before, for the Soul had completely transformed, never to regain its former self.

Yet even if the soul is extinguished, the true spirit shall never perish.

For if the day ever came when the Indestructible True Spirit was extinguished, it would signify that not a single living being could exist throughout the entire Primordial Chaos.

"The 12 Limits True Spirit Realm... so this is what it truly is."

"No wonder Elder Taiyou once said the True Spirit Realm cannot be conveyed through words. When 1 reaches that stage, the breakthrough will come as naturally as water flowing downhill."

At this moment, Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, finally comprehending the profound mysteries of the True Spirit Realm.

The so-called 12 Limits True Spirit Realm refers to a state where, after surpassing certain extreme limitations, 1 becomes capable of sensing the Eternal True Spirit. By drawing power from this indestructible True Spirit, practitioners may obtain a greater share of its spiritual imprints for themselves.

With this true spirit imprint tempering the flesh, the body could achieve true immortality, impervious to destruction even by the hands of the Dao Ancestors and Celestial Saints.

Moreover, if 1 were to fuse the true spirit imprint with their primordial soul, the primordial soul would then possess the indestructible nature of the true spirit, rendering it nearly impossible to be completely annihilated.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, even a Dao Ancestor or Immortal Sage would likely find it impossible to completely eradicate a True Spirit Primordial Soul, just as they cannot extinguish the True Spirit itself.

Of course, condensing a single soul spirit requires but 1 true spirit mark. However, cultivating a True Spirit Primordial Soul demands an astonishing number of true spirit runes.

At this moment, Eldrin gazed up at the Eternal True Spirit, releasing a slow breath as he murmured, "Whether I can break through to the True Spirit Nascent Soul rests entirely on today."

As the words faded, Eldrin (Person Name) channeled his full spiritual power, beginning to draw upon the strength of the Eternal True Spirit.

"Swoosh!"

In an instant, the undying true spirit radiated an eternal brilliance within this everlasting void.

Countless true spirit imprints showered down from the Great Dao Sea, hundreds of millions upon millions of them cascading into Eldrin's primordial spirit like a raging river of chaos pouring forth.

Someone has stirred the Eternal True Spirit.

In that very moment, supreme beings across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains opened their eyes.

In the Divine Palace of the Primordial Celestial Court, a gaze capable of grinding all realms slowly opened.

There sat an indescribable figure, merely meditating within the grand hall, yet surrounded by the rotation of 3 1000 great daos. The eternal light of the primordial beginning shimmered, illuminating boundless chaotic realms across myriad ancient heavens.

"This aura."

At that very moment, a voice rang out.

Not far from Him, a Divine Sovereign in violet robes, whose grace seemed to eclipse all others of his era, slowly opened his eyes. With a trace of astonishment in his voice, he murmured,

"It appears to be a True Spirit Primordial Soul. The 3 1000 Immortal Domains seem to have produced yet another remarkable junior."

"Brother Taichu, if my memory serves me right, the last time such a figure emerged was during the era of the Violet Immortal Lord, was it not?"

In the center of the great hall, the Primordial Divine Emperor’s expression remained unperturbed as he calmly stated, "A foundation of 12 limits—1 so rare it emerges scarcely once in several billion years—has now produced 2 such individuals within a mere 20,000,000 years."

"Just now, I performed some divinations and found the fluctuations of chaotic fortune to be highly unstable."

At this point, the Primordial Divine Emperor turned his gaze toward the purple-robed Divine Emperor and said, "Ziwei, it seems They are about to make a comeback once more."

Hearing this, a glint of frost flashed in the Violet Emperor’s eyes.

A moment later, He let out a cold sneer. "After the battle back then, the Sun God Emperor seized the opportunity to usurp the authority over the Dao of Stars. Not only did this cause both of us to suffer heavy injuries and fall into slumber, but it also led to our Taoist Companion of the Lunar Yin failing to master the Dao and falling into the cycle of reincarnation."

"Now that the Demon Clan's Celestial Court dominates the world, it falls upon the Sun God Emperor to stand at the forefront."

The Primordial Divine Sovereign did not say much upon hearing this. Only after a long while did he speak calmly, "By my reckoning, Fellow Daoist Taiyin should be returning soon."

"It should be within these few kalpas."

The Astral Sovereign spoke, then continued, "However, during the cataclysm at the end of the Primordial Era, Fellow Daoist Taiyin lost her authority over the Great Dao, while the other party successfully attained the Realm of Chaos."

"I fear that even if you return, the Primordial Dao you embody has already been claimed by another. Fellow Daoist Taiyin would have no choice but to seek an alternative path, likely never again attaining the chance to break through to the Chaos Realm."

"What a pity."

The Primordial Divine Emperor let out a faint sigh and shook his head. "Had the Solar Divine Emperor not coveted the Great Dao of the Stars, our Divine Clan would have possessed 4 Chaos Divine Emperors back in the Primordial Era. How could we have been reduced to this tripartite balance of power?"

"Alas, the 3 of you each inherently hold a fragment of the Heavenly Dao of Stars, destined to be as incompatible as fire and water. This is perhaps the preordained tribulation of our Divine Clan."

The Astral Emperor’s expression cooled imperceptibly. It turned out that while the Solar Emperor had attained enlightenment through the Great Dao of the Sun, he had also seized a portion of the Great Dao of the Stars.

In the twilight of the Primordial Era, to further dominate the Great Dao of Stars, he schemed against the Lunar Celestial Emperor and the Ziwei Celestial Sovereign, seizing sole authority over the Great Dao of the Firmament Stars.

It was precisely for this reason that the Sun Emperor, who simultaneously commanded 2 Great Daos, was able to overpower the Primordial Phoenix, master of the Spatial Dao, and the Candle Dragon Emperor, cultivator of the Temporal Dao, establishing himself as the foremost among the 3 great emperors of the demon race.

In truth, the present Solar Celestial Emperor stands as 1 of the mightiest across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. Even the most ancient Primordial Divine Sovereign and the Genesis Dao Ancestor, who imparts enlightenment throughout all realms, possess not the slightest certainty of prevailing against Him.

To return to our story, as the 2 Divine Sovereigns' thoughts raced, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan on the other side slowly opened his eyes.

The Primordial Phoenix Heavenly Emperor showed a hint of surprise before instructing his disciples, "Investigate this matter. Find out who has achieved the True Spirit Primordial Soul. Issue a decree to our junior clan members: during this heavenly tribulation, they must remember not to oppose this individual under any circumstances."

On the other side, the Dragon of Dimming Celestial Emperor’s gaze seemed to flow with the passage of ages, yet he closed his eyes in the very next instant.

The Solar Celestial Emperor, however, gazed calmly at the River of True Spirits and remarked with intrigue, "It seems this cosmic tribulation has proven more fascinating than I anticipated."

"Summon the Third Prince to undergo the heavenly tribulation."

"Tell Him this is a sharpened blade, and also His finest whetstone."

Elsewhere, the Primordial Dao Ancestor was engaged in a game of chess with the Abyssal Immortal Sage. He stared fixedly at the vast river of spirit marks, then remarked with profound interest, "Not bad..."

"From this day forth, he has become a True Spirit Primordial Soul. Even if those old fossils were to discover the truth and cast aside all decorum, they could no longer utterly destroy him."

The Grand Abyss Immortal Sage’s expression remained placid as he spoke calmly, “It bears a striking resemblance, yet there are subtle differences. I am deeply intrigued by his connection to Zi.”

"Brother, your cultivation has reached the profound realm of creation itself. Could you unveil the mysteries concealed within?"

"Unspeakable, unspeakable?"

Taishi Daozu set down a game piece, gazing at Taiyuan with an inscrutable profundity as he declared, "You have lost."

"Ah."

"How can there be so many True Spirit Marks?"

The Grand Abyss Immortal Sage’s expression faltered slightly. He rose to his feet in an uncharacteristic loss of composure, his gaze fixed upon the River of True Spirit—so absorbed that he inadvertently overturned the Go board.

"Boom—"

Just as the Divine Emperor Sovereigns were reeling in shock, Eldrin was bathing in the long river of True Spirit Seals.

His primordial spirit thirstily drank in the True Spirit imprints, absorbing quadrillions of them in but an instant.

Countless true spirit imprints surged into Eldrin's primordial spirit, merging with his very essence to form 1 true spirit rune after another.

These runes converged into Dao patterns, imperceptibly dyeing his primordial spirit in a violet-gold hue.

By the time Eldrin realized his primordial spirit had completely merged with his true spirit, the overwhelming torrent of true spirit imprints continued to cascade down without cease.

"So many True Spirit Seals."

Eldrin was struck with astonishment, his face revealing a look of sheer amazement.

He discovered that as he continued to refine the soul essence, his true spirit was still absorbing the spiritual imprints.

After Eldrin completely refined the remaining fragment of his soul’s origin, he discovered that the overwhelming imprint of the Heaven-Surge True Spirit was swirling incessantly around his primordial spirit. In the end, it surged into the apertures of his primordial spirit like a dragon returning to the vast ocean.

These countless true spirit imprints continuously surged into the soul orifices, gradually dyeing them with a violet-gold hue.

When all tribulations had passed, Eldrin discovered that among his 9 primordial spirit apertures, the ones refined with the Primordial Chaos Qi had all transformed into a radiant violet-gold hue.

However, due to insufficient true spirit imprints, the other 8 acupoints remained as their original innate acupoints.

"True Spirit Acupoint?"

Eldrin murmured softly, a trace of astonishment flickering across his expression.

In that moment, Eldrin comprehended the power of this violet-gold aperture.

It turned out that this acupoint was called the True Spirit Acupoint, which had actually evolved from the Lifebound Acupoint, endowed with the empowerment of eternal true spirit power.

By integrating 1's innate divine ability into this acupoint, the primordial spirit can merge with the technique. The Spirit Acupoint continuously nurtures the divine ability, steadily enhancing its power until it ultimately ascends to become a Primordial Spirit Divine Art.

This is also the sole method to advance to the True Spirit Divine Ability. Beyond this path, no matter how formidable a divine ability may be, its power can only stagnate at the Eleventh Limit realm.

Conversely, no matter how feeble a supernatural power may be, once integrated into the True Spirit Acupoints, its potency can gradually amplify, elevating it to a True Spirit Supernatural Power whose might far surpasses the Eleventh Limit.

Moreover, the True Spirit Acupoints could amplify the power of divine abilities, and the effect would be even more potent.

Compared to ordinary innate acupoints, which can only boost power by 30 percent and reduce mana consumption by 70 percent, a True Spirit Acupoint can double the might of divine abilities while slashing mana expenditure by 90 percent.
