Chapter 952 : The Alliance of Pure Yang

Eldrin Chen spoke, handing over the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill, along with the Pill Formula for the Yin-Yang Void Pill, to the Master of the Dao Palace.

The Master of the Dao Palace took the Pill Formula and, after a moment, exclaimed with delight, "Your talent, Fellow Daoist, truly shakes the heavens and earth. To have created such a wondrous Pill Formula... your Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual pills and elixirs] has likely far surpassed this old man's."

"You honor me too much, Senior."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, then looked at the assembled group and said, "To nurture over ten cultivators to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage simultaneously—this is a feat no single Dao Lord Sacred Land [a powerful territory ruled by a Dao Lord] could accomplish alone."

"I hope everyone can unite their efforts and contribute their strength for the sake of our Purple Realm."

Seeing Eldrin Chen speak thus, the Star Palace Master was the first to respond, immediately declaring, "For such a grand undertaking, my Star Palace naturally bears an inescapable duty."

"We are willing to contribute five Pure Yang Fruit [a spiritual fruit brimming with pure Yang energy], seven Pure Yang Spiritual Object [objects infused with concentrated pure Yang essence], and, to aid cultivation, the High Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure known as the 'Star Gathering Plate'."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of those present flickered slightly, all understanding the reason behind the Star Palace Master's proactive stance.

To activate the Big Dipper Seven Stars Grand Formation, Eldrin Chen had agreed to nurture six early to mid-stage Nascent Soul Dao Lord from the Star Palace. For the Star Palace Master, this was a wish he could scarcely have dreamed of, and thus his enthusiasm was only natural.

With the Star Palace Master setting the first example, the remaining Masters of the Seven Treasures Gourd naturally held nothing back, each contributing at least one Pure Yang Spiritual Object. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio_novel.com.

The other Dao Lord present was not quite as generous, yet he also contributed a sum of Heavenly Crystal [a highly refined and potent form of spiritual crystal]. While the amount was not vast, it served to cover the cost of the supplementary ingredients.

After accepting the Pill Formula [the recipe for crafting a specific type of elixir] and the various Spiritual Object, the Master of the Dao Palace gave a wry smile and said, "This will likely require refining over a dozen furnaces of Pure Yang Treasure Pill [elixirs of supreme yang purity]. It seems for the next Millennium [a period of one thousand years], these old bones of mine will have their work cut out for them."

The Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this realm] did not take action in this battle. However, for the sake of prudence, the group did not depart immediately.

Only after thirty years had passed, once the Heavenly Scar [a great rent or fissure in the fabric of the world] had fully restored itself to its peak state, did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Master of the Dao Palace surveyed the assembled company and said with a smile, "The Heavenly Scar is restored. The Extraterrestrial Demon God can no longer force it open. It appears this tribulation has passed."

"Since that is the case, I shall not detain you further."

At this point, the Master of the Dao Palace looked towards Eldrin Chen and said, "Within my Dao Palace Sacred Land, the sages of past generations have bequeathed a total of nine scrolls of Immortal Scripture [profound texts containing the methods of immortal cultivation]."

"However, these Immortal Scripture form the very foundation of our sect's legacy. They cannot be removed from the Dao Palace Sacred Land. Should Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] wish to peruse the scriptures, you are most welcome to visit our sacred land."

Eldrin Chen did not reply immediately, instead casting his gaze towards the others present.

The representatives from the other lineages possessing Immortal's Dao Heritage [the inherited teachings and legacy of an immortal] observed this and, clasping their hands in salute, each spoke in turn: "Should Fellow Daoist desire to study our Immortal Scripture, you are most welcome at any time."

"Then I offer my sincere thanks," Eldrin Chen nodded, immediately cupping his hands in salute. "With this matter concluded, I shall accompany you, Senior, to the Dao Palace Sacred Land."

After bidding farewell to the others, Eldrin Chen did not linger. He set out directly for the Dao Palace Sacred Land.

Along the journey, Eldrin Chen was exceptionally courteous. Addressing the Master of the Dao Palace, he said, "I must thank you again for your assistance today, Senior. Had you not taken the lead in declaring your stance, the others might not have agreed so readily."

"You need not thank me. If anything, it is we who owe you our gratitude!"

The Master of the Dao Palace shook his head, his words taking an unexpected turn.

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of surprise crossing his features. He listened as the Master of the Dao Palace continued, "Had you not slain the Demon God's Second Nascent Soul [a powerful duplicate of a cultivator's core soul], we would all be utterly spent by now, our spiritual lamps flickering on their last dregs of oil."

"Had that Second Nascent Soul broken free from the formation, the Extraterrestrial Demon God would never have relented. The various Dao Lord [supreme masters of the Dao] of the Purple Realm would have been unable to withstand that cataclysm."

"By then, the Human Race Dao Lord of the Purple Realm would have been decimated. Within a decade, the realm would have faced utter annihilation, with not a single soul left alive."

At this point, the Master of the Dao Palace offered a bitter smile. "Speaking thus, whether it is this old man or the other esteemed Dao Lord, our very lives were saved by your hand."

"You honor me too greatly, Senior."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, unable to agree. "If not for your venerable self laying down the grand formation to trap the second Demon God for two Millennium [a period of one thousand years], the Purple Realm would likely have been utterly destroyed long ago. How could I not consider your aid a life-saving grace?"

"Though your words hold truth, you must understand," he continued, "the Eight Trigrams Immortal Refining Formation I deployed was born from aligning with the will of the heavens. In truth, it was part of the Purple Realm's own Heaven and Earth Will [the collective consciousness and destiny of a world] laying its plans."

The Master of the Dao Palace shook his head with a wry smile. "Even without this old man, another would have arisen to perform this task."

"But you... you are different."

The Master of the Dao Palace paused, his expression turning profoundly solemn. "A talent as dazzling as yours, one that startles the ages, could never be forged solely by the fortune and destiny of the Purple Realm."

"You are not the Purple Realm's Calamity's Chosen [one destined to be born from or resolve a great calamity]. Perhaps, for the Purple Realm, you are a variable from beyond its destined tribulations." Immerse yourself in the complete world at (audio-novel.com).

The Master of the Dao Palace spoke these words deliberately, an undeniable gravity coloring his tone.

Eldrin Chen's talent was heaven-defying, possessing the potential of a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm]. Such brilliance could not be nurtured by the fortune of a single world alone.

Upon careful reflection, this was to be expected. Within the myriad Primordial Chaos [the formless void from which all realms are born], the number of Immortal Domain [realms where immortals dwell] alone exceeds three thousand.

Worlds like the Purple Realm are as countless as the stars in the sky, their number reaching not just millions or billions, but truly beyond measure.

Within the boundless cosmos of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], the number of Great Luo Golden Immortal [the supreme, apex realm of immortality] is finite. Even in the Immortal Realm [the higher plane where immortals reside], such beings are revered by countless millions of Immortal [those who have ascended to immortality].

Within an Immortal Domain [a vast territory governed by immortals] more immense than a universe, even across billions of ancient epochs, it is not guaranteed that a single Great Luo Golden Immortal will be born.

If a mere Mortal Realm [a world inhabited by mortals] could, through the power of fate, nurture the seed of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, then such supreme beings would not be so exceedingly rare.

Speaking of the innate talent of Eldrin Chen, the Master of the Dao Palace remarked with deep feeling, "You do not yet comprehend the true nature of your own brilliance."

"You have already forged the peerless Primordial Chaos Mana [a supreme cultivation energy born from the Primordial Chaos]. In the future, while achieving Great Luo Golden Immortal is not assured, you will most likely break through to the realm of a Heaven Immortal [a high-ranking immortal who commands celestial authority]."

"Over the millions of years in the Purple Realm [a specific immortal world], nearly two hundred Immortal have ascended. Apart from the Purple Immortal Lord [the legendary ruler of the Purple Realm], only three have ever broken through to become Earth Immortal [a powerful earth-bound immortal], and not a single one has ever reached the realm of a Heaven Immortal."

"The mere fact that you have the potential to break through to Heaven Immortal is enough to place you above the hundred-odd Immortal predecessors of past and present."

The Master of the Dao Palace spoke at length, and after a long while, sighed again. "Compared to an existence like you, who can utterly quell a great tribulation, beings like us Demi-Immortal [those who have transcended mortality but not fully ascended] or even Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul] are ultimately of little consequence."

"If the Purple Realm's World Will [the sentient consciousness and fate of the Purple Realm world] so desired, and was willing to expend the Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound, accumulated foundational power] gathered over countless years, it could, through the guidance of destiny and fate-bestowed opportunities, forcibly nurture new Demigod Ancestor [ancestral figures of demi-god power]."

Speaking to this point, the heart of the Master of the Dao Palace held a sigh, tinged with a trace of uncertainty.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a pang of melancholy. In truth, he had long anticipated this outcome.

That the Purple Realm's World Will [the sentient will of the world itself] possesses awareness and bestows its favor upon certain exceptional cultivators was, after all, to be expected.

Without exception, whenever a Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a supreme cultivator who has formed a Nascent Soul] successfully ascends, they invariably discover a Pure Yang Spiritual Object [a spiritual treasure imbued with the pure essence of Yang energy] within a Millennium. This phenomenon itself is guided by the inscrutable will of Heaven.

Upon deeper reflection, if the Heaven and Earth Will [the collective consciousness of heaven and earth] sought to complete the number of Demi-Immortal [cultivators who have transcended mortality but not yet achieved full immortality], it could naturally guide a cultivator to their destined opportunity, even bestowing upon them, from the unseen depths of fate, a fleeting chance for enlightenment.
