Chapter 894 : Legacy of the Polarity Pearl

"It truly is connected."

Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance with the others, then stepped forward into the Great Hall.

Upon first entering the Great Hall, their expressions immediately grew solemn. There, suspended within the hall, was a treasure pearl shimmering with the dual hues of Polarity [the fundamental opposing forces of Yin and Yang].

Beneath the pearl, three distinct beams of treasure light radiated brilliantly.

Among these three beams, the first was a scroll of a cultivation manual. The second was a treasure vase swirling with Polarity Treasure Aura [a potent spiritual essence embodying the power of Yin and Yang]. The final one was a wondrous substance emanating a Five-Colored Radiant Light [a brilliant, multi-hued glow associated with profound spiritual power].

"This is!"

The moment his eyes fell upon the four treasures, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted sharply.

While he did not recognize the other treasures among the four, the Polarity Treasure Pearl was clearly extraordinary. It contained incomplete divine patterns of Path Principles [the fundamental laws governing cultivation and reality], marking it not as a mundane object, but as a rare Near-Immortal Treasures [an artifact of immense power, one step below true Immortal-grade treasures].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately channeled his spiritual energy, drawing the pearl towards him. He began refining it using the Polarity Mutual Cultivation Covenant [an esoteric method for harmonizing and cultivating opposing forces].

The method proved effective. Before long, he had completely refined and claimed the treasure pearl. Original publication: audio‑novel.com - The source of this chapter.

After refining the treasure pearl, Eldrin Chen finally understood the origins of these several treasures and this cave abode.

It turned out this cave abode was named the Polarity Immortal Mansion [a celestial dwelling place for immortal cultivators], left behind by the founding patriarch of the Polarity [a school of cultivation focused on the interplay of opposing forces] Sect, the Syncretic Patriarch, more than seven hundred thousand years ago.

Among the treasures, the Polarity Treasure Pearl was named the 'Polarity Syncretic Pearl' [a pearl embodying the fusion of opposing cosmic energies]. It was formed from the convergence of heaven and earth's Polarity Dual Energy [the fundamental energies of yin and yang], containing the power of Polarity Path Principles Power [the profound laws governing the interaction of opposites]. Originally, it was an exceedingly rare Immortal Treasure [an artifact of celestial grade].

However, this object's gestation was incomplete. Even after being refined by the Syncretic Patriarch, its grade only reached the level of a Near-Immortal Treasures [a treasure possessing power just shy of true immortal artifacts].

Yet, even so, this Near-Immortal Treasures possessed astonishing and miraculous uses.

Its combat prowess was not formidable, but it was a Supreme Immortal Treasure [a peerless treasure for cultivation] for auxiliary cultivation, offering immense benefits for a cultivator's practice.

The Syncretic Patriarch's innate talent was actually quite ordinary. However, in his youth, he was exceptionally dashing and charming, particularly attracting the admiration of female cultivators. It was said that in his lifetime, he had over three thousand consorts and concubines.

The reason he was able to achieve immortality was precisely by relying on this 'Polarity Syncretic Pearl'. Through continuous dual cultivation [a practice where two cultivators harmonize their energies for mutual benefit] with his consorts, he unknowingly cultivated his way into the Immortal Ascension Realm [the realm of becoming a true immortal].

He pioneered supreme methods like the Polarity Interlinked Covenant [a profound art of energy union], essentially creating the precedent for achieving immortality through the dual cultivation path within the Purple Seal Realm.

"This Polarity Syncretic Pearl can greatly increase a cultivator's cultivation speed," Eldrin murmured.

"If combined with dual cultivation techniques and aided by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Peach [a legendary spiritual fruit that greatly enhances cultivation], one's cultivation base would advance by leaps and bounds."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, storing away the Polarity Syncretic Pearl [a mystical pearl embodying the union of opposing forces]. "It seems that from now on, we might be able to break through a cultivation realm every three to five hundred years."

"Tsk!"

Hearing this, Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort could not help but roll their eyes at him, their gazes holding a complex mixture of delight and shyness deep within.

Eldrin Chen remained utterly unperturbed, his attention turning instead to the remaining treasures.

Among the three remaining treasures, the scroll of daoist scripture was the complete version of the 'Polarity Mutual Cultivation Covenant' [a supreme scripture of the dual cultivation path].

This was a peerless method of the dual cultivation lineage, capable of guiding a practitioner all the way to condensing a Path Fruit [the crystallization of one's cultivated Dao] at the Ascendant Immortal Realm [a supreme realm of immortal cultivation]. It could be considered one of the most top-tier techniques under heaven.

Only after examining the Polarity Mutual Cultivation Covenant did Eldrin Chen understand how the Syncretic Patriarch had managed to ascend to immortality.

The method was profoundly mystical. It recorded various dual cultivation techniques that could rapidly increase a cultivator's cultivation base and also assist them in coalescing a Polarity Path Fruit [a Path Fruit born from the perfect union of opposing polarities].

However, Eldrin Chen believed the most crucial aspect was that this method could compensate for weaknesses with strengths, achieving the legendary state of Polarity Mutual Complement [the perfect, synergistic complementation of opposing forces].

According to the description of this method, when a man and a woman practice this dual cultivation art, they can not only share a portion of their insights into the Dao and its arts but also draw upon each other's Primordial Lunar and Primordial Solar Power [the fundamental energies of Yin and Yang], thereby supplementing their own foundational cultivation and innate talent.

In the past, the Syncretic Patriarch was not considered a heaven-defying prodigy; by all logic, his path to immortality should have been exceedingly difficult. Yet, he unexpectedly achieved Ethereal Ascension [the state of transcending mortality and becoming an immortal].

The fundamental reason was that during his dual cultivation sessions with his three thousand dao companions, the Syncretic Patriarch continuously remedied the deficiencies in his own foundation, ultimately breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Realm [the realm of true immortality].

"Borrowing the power of Polarity Mutual Complement [an art that harmonizes opposing forces] to supplement one's own foundational cultivation."

"Although the Syncretic Patriarch was not blessed with overwhelming talent, he can still be considered a man of extraordinary comprehension."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, a faint smile touching his lips. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio~novel.com.

He did not wish to comment excessively on the romantic affairs of his predecessor. However, with the aid of this method, he could now impart his insights into the Five Elements Arcane Power [a profound power derived from the five fundamental elements] to Exquisite Jiang through the art of dual cultivation.

With this assistance, Exquisite Jiang's hopes of comprehending the Primordial One Arcane Power [the primordial, unified energy from which all things originate] in the future would be significantly increased.

Among the four treasures, the Dao manual and the precious pearl were supreme artifacts of unparalleled value. The other two items, though slightly inferior, were still extraordinary beyond measure.

The third treasure was a vial of Five-Colored Divine Marrow [a sacred marrow imbued with the essence of the five elements]. This substance was the key to cultivating the Five-Colored Divine Light [a divine light technique of five colors] and was also the supreme treasure that Exquisite Jiang had sensed.

Within that final treasure vase lay nine Glazed Precious Pill [a high-grade cultivation elixir]. This pill was named the 'Polarity Co-Cultivation Pill' [a pill designed for dual cultivation between partners of opposing energies], and it was a Sixth Rank Low-Grade Primordial Solar Precious Pill [an elixir of the highest solar essence].

If consumed alone, its effect was merely that of a typical Sixth Rank Low-Grade pill. However, if paired with the Polarity Mutual Cultivation Covenant [a profound art of dual cultivation between male and female partners], its efficacy would become extraordinarily potent and peerless.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, a single pill, if taken by a Primordial Spirit Early Stage cultivator and refined in conjunction with a female partner using the Primordial Spirit dual cultivation method, could save them two thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Eldrin Chen took the Polarity Co-Cultivation Pill, kept one for himself, and distributed three others to Exquisite Jiang, Verdant Consort, and Lila.

Seeing five pills remaining, he handed two to Violet Consort Yan and Nyssa Qu, then said, "With the great battle imminent, you may refine these pills immediately."

"Even without employing the dual cultivation method, the effect, though halved, will still grant you significant advancement in your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu and Violet Consort Yan promptly accepted the Precious Pill.

Violet Consort Yan took the Precious Pill, glanced at Eldrin Chen as if she wished to speak, yet held her words back.

In contrast, Nyssa Qu bit her lip, her face flushing with a shy blush as she offered a deep curtsy. "This battle is perilous beyond measure. Only with greater strength can we secure victory," she said.

"This humble one is willing to offer herself to you, Young Master, to aid your cultivation in reaching a higher realm, so that you may slay the Black Dragon [a powerful draconic fiend] and quell this Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial]."

Beside him, Exquisite Jiang [the name of a female cultivator] was inwardly taken aback by these words. However, Lila [a young female cultivator] and Verdant Consort [a title for a powerful female cultivator] seemed to understand the unspoken implications and said nothing more.

Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] was momentarily taken aback, but then shook his head after a brief pause. "Resisting the demonic cultivators is indeed crucial," he stated, "but it does not warrant such a profound sacrifice."

"Even if we merely refine and absorb this elixir [a powerful pill for cultivation advancement], our cultivation bases would surely advance by leaps and bounds."

"My lord..."

Nyssa Qu [a beautiful female cultivator] felt a shadow pass over her heart, her eyes dimming slightly. It seemed she wished to say more, yet found the words too difficult to voice.

Seeing her request denied, Violet Consort Yan [a title for a noble female cultivator] stole a glance at Exquisite Jiang and Lila, a complex and inscrutable emotion stirring within her.

"The coming battle is perilous. To ensure our chances of victory, if you are willing to become my husband's concubine, you could refine this elixir through the Dual Cultivation method [a cultivation technique involving spiritual union between partners]."

After a moment of silence, Exquisite Jiang spoke up.

To be fair, she was reluctant to share her Dao Companion [a cultivator's lifelong partner]. Yet, in the world of cultivation, how many male cultivators were without concubines? This chapter is part of a larger work available at audi0-n0vel.c0m.
