Chapter 892 Scheming Against the Black Dragon

Primordial Chaos Qi.

Upon hearing this, a trace of solemnity surfaced between Lyra's brows.

That Primordial Chaos Qi was of the sixth-rank, upper-grade—a rarity truly unparalleled in this world. It was said that only within the veins of the Primordial Chaos Ancestral Pulse could it be naturally nurtured.

Within the Violet Realm, there existed no Primordial Chaos Ancestral Vein, making it naturally impossible for such a supreme treasure to be nurtured.

Fortunately, aside from natural gestation, this object was not entirely impossible to manifest.

It is said that as early as several 100 1000 years ago, an ancient immortal of unparalleled brilliance in the Violet Realm once gathered 5 types of primordial Yang energies and refined them through human effort within an alchemical furnace, ultimately forging Primordial Chaos Qi.

At this thought, Lyra said, "With your alchemy skills, can you refine a batch of Primordial Chaos Mother Qi?"

"Still far from enough."

Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head and said, "The Primordial Chaos Qi is 1 of the supreme spiritual substances in the mortal realm. How could it be possible for mortals to refine it through artificial means?"

"If I were to break through to Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), I might have some chance of successfully refining it."

Qing Ji nodded upon hearing this and said, “It seems the most pressing matter now is to swiftly advance to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm).”

"So it should be." Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "Fortunately, over these years we've gathered all 5 strands of Pure Yang Primordial Qi. Now we need only wait for our cultivation to advance another step."

Suppressing his thoughts, Eldrin immediately headed for the Flaming Abyss of Blazing Torment.

This time, when he arrived at the Blazing Prison Sea of Flames, he discovered that Chen Changxuan (Person Name) had emerged from secluded cultivation.

After years apart, the Elder Uncle's aura had grown even more majestic, carrying a faint trace of transcendent vigor.

"3 60-year cycles have passed, yet it seems Uncle's cultivation has advanced quite remarkably."

Chen Changxuan nodded with a smile. "Thanks to the open-mindedness of the Dao Palace Sanctuary, they provided the refinement method for the 8 Trigrams Treasure Formation, allowing me to successfully forge it."

The old clan leader waved his sleeve, revealing 8 treasure flags that faintly radiated a dazzling divine light. 8 supreme powers distorted the very void under their oppressive force.

After all these years apart, Elder Uncle had finally succeeded in elevating all 8 of his precious banners, achieving monumental improvements in both his cultivation base and combat prowess.

Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly, yet he couldn’t suppress a faint smile. “With this formation array, the old uncle’s combat power may well rival that of Primordial Spirit, Late Stage.”

"You flatter me."

"Although this 8 Trigrams Treasure Formation is formidable, with my current cultivation I can only unleash a dozen or so strikes. How could it compare to the might of a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm)?"

Chen Changxuan shook his head, smiling wryly as he replied.

But at this point, his words paused briefly before he continued with a light laugh, "However, within these Flaming Prisons of Blazing Fire, this old man can indeed hold his ground against a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm)."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, understanding that Chen Changxuan made a valid point.

The power of this 8 Trigrams Treasure Formation was unparalleled, yet its greatest flaw lay in the immense consumption of magic power it demanded. With Chen Changxuan's level of cultivation, he could barely manage to unleash a dozen or so strikes at most.

But within the Flaming Prison Sea, bolstered by the boundless fire elemental power of this domain, Elder Uncle Gong no longer faced any limitations in magical energy, allowing him to unleash the full might of this array formation.

At this thought, a flicker of delight stirred within Eldrin’s heart.

Without another word, he strode directly into the heart of the Blazing Prison's Sea of Fire and retrieved that phoenix egg.

However, after all these years, the phoenix egg still appeared to be in gestation, showing not the slightest sign of hatching—a development that greatly defied his expectations.

Seeing this, Chen Changxun stroked his long beard and said, "This Vermilion Bird egg should have hatched long ago, but after absorbing your Primordial Purple Qi, it has gained a trace of primordial aura."

"Now she seems to be transforming into the legendary Li Fire Zhuque, her bloodline and foundation likely far surpassing what they once were. The gestation period has also grown somewhat longer."

Vermilion Bird of Departing Fire...

Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly before he gave an involuntary nod.

The Crimson Sparrow of Departing Fire, akin to the Azure Dragon of Suppressing Wood, is a true supreme mythical immortal seed. It possesses aptitude on par with a terrestrial immortal patriarch, and if it does not fall prematurely, it will likely cultivate to the late Ascension Realm.

Such a supreme immortal avian aptitude was already considered rare under the heavens. 1 step further would lead to the legendary Innate Divine Spirits, or even the Innate Sacred Beings whose foundations rival those of the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Legend has it that the Eldrin Vermilion Bird innately possesses Li Fire energy within its core. Upon birth, it attains the cultivation level of Perfected Nascent Soul. With but minimal practice, it can comprehend the legendary principle of "Southern Brightness Li Fire".

"A being with such profound origins naturally requires no small amount of time to gestate."

Eldrin (Person Name) said with a faint smile, a trace of delight stirring within his heart.

Although this Li Fire Vermilion Bird would still require some years before emerging, once it did, it would possess cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. It might prove of great assistance to Eldrin (Person Name) in the future.

At this thought, he suppressed the idea of making the Li Fire Phoenix emerge ahead of time and said to Elder Shugong, "Since emerging from seclusion this time, my cultivation has reached a point where further progress will be difficult in the short term. Thus, I intend to begin planning some matters."

"Oh?" Chen Changxuan responded, then inquired, "You mean..."

Hmph!

Eldrin nodded slightly and began to speak, "My Great Deduction of Yin-Yang Celestial Dao has advanced to the realm of Pure Yang Divine Abilities."

"I have deduced that within the Western Polar Sands Domain, an ancient immortal's contingency measure is about to activate, wherein an opportunity to confront the heavenly tribulation may emerge."

"I shall use this serendipity to set the stage, luring that Black Dragon into my design to settle our debts of gratitude and grievance once and for all."

Chen Changxuan’s expression shifted abruptly upon hearing this. He could not help but draw a sharp breath and said, “That Black Dragon’s cultivation is truly heaven-defying. Even though its injuries have yet to fully heal, it still ranks among the pinnacle of the Violet Calamity Realm.”

"With your level of cultivation, are you truly confident?"

"Not entirely confident."

Eldrin shook his head, yet his expression remained utterly tranquil as he stated, "The Black Dragon's combat prowess shakes the heavens. With my current strength, I possess no certainty of subduing it."

"However, within an immortal's cave abode, the void is inevitably completely sealed. This is the perfect opportunity to slay him."

The old uncle couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart upon hearing this.

He understood that Grandma Cheng’s words held truth, for if they missed this opportunity, once Eldrin broke through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage, the Black Dragon would likely never engage him in combat again.

Beings such as the True Dragon can expand to fill the cosmos, spanning galaxies and starry rivers, or shrink to hide within a fleeting moment, imperceptible as a speck of dust.

A True Dragon at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, once resolved to flee and conceal itself rather than engage in direct combat, would likely evade capture even by a Demigod Ancestor.

By that time, unless Eldrin were to ascend as an immortal, it would still be exceedingly difficult to drag out the Black Dragon.

At this thought, Chen Changxuan’s expression turned gravely solemn. He asked, “If you intend to strike against the Black Dragon, it’s likely he already knows. I fear he may not show himself.”

"He will."

Eldrin shook his head and declared with unwavering confidence, "The opportunities within an immortal's ruins are nothing short of heaven-defying."

"In ages past, the Great Roc Demon Saint obtained this very opportunity, breaking through to the Demi-Immortal realm in 1 fell swoop. With such a struggle for the Great Dao before him, even knowing full well the extreme peril, he simply could not remain seated."
