Chapter 905 : A Peerless Foundation Forged

As Eldrin Chen opened the ledger, a look of delight could not help but spread across his face.

With the growth of the Chen Clan's power over these years, the territory controlled by the Chen Immortal Clan had expanded immensely. Particularly after the fall of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, the vast expanse of the Vast and Misty Marsh had fallen into the hands of the Chen Clan.

The Vast and Misty Marsh was now incorporated into the domain of Myriad Ruins Province, which itself had separated from the Three Veins Ancient Domain. It was renamed the Myriad Ruins Ancient Domain, becoming the seventh ancient domain of the Eastern Region Great Wasteland.

Having secured the Myriad Ruins Ancient Domain, the Chen Clan had become a superpower spanning the Three Veins and the Myriad Voids Ancient Domain.

Within this territory, the Chen Clan possessed seven Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein [a vein of earth that channels potent spiritual energy], including Gu Yuan Mountain, the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, Celestial Dome Island, Eight Trigrams Island, Spirit Lake Isle, the Hundred-Thousand-Mile Great Wasteland, and the Black Dragon Pool.

The remaining Fifth Rank Spiritual Vein [a vein of earth that channels high-quality spiritual energy] were too numerous to count; from what Eldrin Chen knew, they already numbered in the hundreds.

Consequently, the Chen Clan's power had surged dramatically. They now boasted over eight hundred Infant Soul True Lord [cultivators who have condensed their spiritual essence into a nascent soul], with lower-level cultivators below the Golden Core [a solidified core of spiritual energy] being truly innumerable.

"Seven Path Lord [powerful cultivators who have comprehended a profound Dao Path] from a single lineage, seven Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein, and three Sixth Rank Ancestral Vein [the most potent and foundational spiritual veins of a territory]," he mused.

"The foundation of our Chen Clan can now be called peerless under heaven, not inferior to supreme legacies like the Path Palace Sacred Land or the Western Pole Serene Spirit Temple."

As the Old Granduncle spoke, a profound sense of joy and pride shone in his eyes. Visit audio - novel . com to enjoy the complete series.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen also nodded, then said calmly, "Occupying such a vast territory, with just a few millennia of management, our Chen Clan is destined to become one of the foremost colossal powers within the Purple Seal Realm."

Beyond these enterprises, the Clan Treasury of the Chen Clan now also held a substantial stockpile of treasures.

Among them were more than ten Primordial Solar Spiritual Object [spiritual objects infused with the essence of the primordial sun], eight or nine Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [magical treasures forged with primordial solar power], and over twenty Primordial Solar Grade Spirit Herb [plants imbued with potent spiritual energy]. Of these, four were specifically Primordial Solar Fruit [fruits containing concentrated primordial solar essence].

Many of these treasures were obtained by Eldrin Chen from slaying Primordial Spirit Demons [demonic beings who have cultivated their Primordial Spirit], some were seized from the Black Dragon Pool, and the remainder were accumulated by the clan over recent years.

"Four Primordial Solar Fruit, two Primordial Spirit Flower [flowers that bloom from the essence of a cultivator's Primordial Spirit], and two pieces of 'Void Profound Jade' [a rare jade that resonates with the mysteries of the void]. It seems Old Granduncle has been quite diligent in recent years."

Setting down the ledger casually, Eldrin Chen sighed as he spoke.

Among the various treasures were four Primordial Solar Fruit and two pieces of Void Profound Jade. It was clear that Eternal Profound Chen had collected them over many years, preparing them for Eldrin Chen, Exquisite Jiang, and others to aid their breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of Primordial Spirit cultivation].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen said nothing more. He simply retrieved several treasures from his possession.

Before Eldrin Chen appeared several treasures, their radiant auras shimmering and undulating. They were the Demon-Slayer Furnace [a furnace famed for its demon-purifying properties], the Heavenly Demon Pagoda [a pagoda capable of suppressing heavenly demons], the Counter-Scale Sword [a sword designed to pierce a dragon's most vulnerable scale], the Void-Rending Formless Sword [a formless blade that can tear through the fabric of space], the Black Dragon Spear, and the Great Cosmos Vase [a vase said to contain a miniature cosmos], among others.

Gazing at these treasures before him, Eldrin Chen looked at the Great Cosmos Vase, now covered in cracks, and said, "The Great Cosmos Vase was severely wounded in this battle. I intend to place it within the Vast Sea to absorb boundless Water Essence Power [the fundamental power of water essence] for nurturing and recovery."

"Let us divide the remaining treasures," he declared.

Hearing this, the group could not help but feel a surge of joy.

Artifacts of the Sixth Rank Superior Grade were exceptionally precious. If they could refine one or two of them, their strength would undoubtedly experience a tremendous leap.

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang took the Demon-Slayer Furnace with a complex expression. "This Demon-Slayer Furnace was the ultimate protective treasure my grandfather left for my father," she said, her voice tinged with nostalgia. "Who would have thought that after all these twists and turns, it would find its way back into my hands."

"*Hum*—"

The Demon-Slayer Furnace trembled slightly, as if sensing Exquisite Jiang's aura. The artifact spirit [the sentient consciousness within a magical treasure], which had been refined by the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, seemed to stir faintly back to life before quickly falling silent once more.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen sighed. "The Demon-Slayer Furnace has been severely damaged by the Outer Realm Demon God's refinement. Its artifact spirit is gravely wounded and will require your careful nurturing to gradually recover."

"Mm," she acknowledged.

Exquisite Jiang nodded and stored the Demon-Slayer Furnace away.

The others did not hesitate either. Nyssa Qu, being a Mythical Immortal Seed of the Demon Race lineage, found the Heavenly Demon Pagoda to be the most compatible with her nature. Naturally, she chose to refine that artifact.

Violet Consort Yan did not possess a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact forged with the essence of the primordial sun], and thus was granted priority in selection. She chose the Counter-Scale Sword [a sword said to be capable of piercing the reverse scales of a dragon].

Among the remaining treasures, only the Void-Rending Formless Sword [a sword that cleaves through the void with formless intent] and the Black Dragon Spear [a spear forged from the materials of a black dragon] were left. Yet, Verdant Consort, Lila, and the Old Patriarch still awaited their turn to choose.

Seeing this, Lila shook her head and said, "My Ice Spiritual Root [an innate spiritual affinity for the ice element] grants me a relatively thin and pure spiritual energy pool. I already possess the Frost Soul Immortal Ribbon [an immortal-grade ribbon imbued with frost soul energy]. To refine and wield another Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure would likely exceed my capacity to channel its power effectively."

"Moreover, none of these remaining treasures possess an ice attribute. Even if I took one, I could not unleash its full potential. It is better given to the Old Granduncle."

"I have no need for it either."

Eternal Profound Chen shook his head, a smile gracing his lips. "The Eight Trigrams Demon Refining Banner [a banner that utilizes the eight trigrams to refine and suppress demons] alone, once fully refined, will be enough for me to stand unrivaled among my peers. Why would I distract myself by refining another Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact]?" Dive deeper into the Dao at https://audio-novel.com.

The others nodded in understanding, recognizing the wisdom in the Old Granduncle's words.

Seeing that neither required a treasure, Eldrin Chen presented the Void-Rending Formless Sword to the Verdant Consort. Then, his gaze settled upon the Black Dragon Spear. "This spear," he began, "was forged from Primordial Solar Treasure Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] and genuine Dragon Scale [the scale of a true dragon]. Its materials are of truly Extraordinary quality."

"I still possess the Dragon Bone [the skeletal remains of a dragon, a potent spiritual material] from that Black Dragon. Perhaps they can be fused and refined together into a single, peerless treasure."

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, Exquisite Jiang [the wife of Eldrin Chen] could not help but let her eyes brighten. She then said with a smile, "With this item in hand, we can also enhance our Artifact Forging Art [a mystical technique for crafting magical treasures]."

"..."

After the group divided the treasures, Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] headed towards the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a dangerous, flame-wreathed sea] to continue digesting the gains from this battle.

This time, Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang worked together, spending half a year to finally refine the Black Dragon Spear [a powerful spear artifact] and the Dragon Bone [the skeletal remains of a dragon, imbued with immense power] into a supreme treasure.

This treasure used the Dragon Bone as its foundation, fused with and refined from the Black Dragon Spear, transforming into a coiled Black Dragon [a powerful, serpentine dragon] bracelet.

After Eldrin Chen placed it on his wrist, he found its form to be vivid and lifelike, as if a small Black Dragon was coiled around his arm, emanating a trace of astonishingly fierce killing intent.

"Let this treasure be named the Black Dragon Bracelet [a powerful bracelet artifact shaped like a black dragon]."

Gazing at the treasure bracelet in his hand, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a hint of serene satisfaction.

This Black Dragon Bracelet was forged by combining a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a peak-grade treasure of immense solar power] with the Dragon Bone. Once activated, it would grow with the wind, transforming into a sky-obscuring Black Dragon that could dominate the void.

Its combat power far surpassed that of ordinary Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. It was estimated to be capable of single-handedly contending with a powerful existence at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of the Primordial Spirit cultivation realm].

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang also revealed a faint smile and said, "This Black Dragon Bracelet possesses combat power at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of a cultivator's spiritual core formation], far surpassing ordinary Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [supreme-grade treasures forged with the essence of the primordial sun]. It can truly serve as a clan heirloom treasure."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. This Black Dragon Bracelet could endure for ten thousand ages, achieving Immortality [a state of eternal existence, impervious to the ravages of time]. Even if the Chen Clan one day lacked a Primordial Spirit Late Stage expert to guard it, this artifact could itself function as one. It was truly remarkable.

However, although this treasure was Extraordinary, for Eldrin Chen, who now possessed combat power at the Demigod [a realm bordering on divinity, vastly superior to the Primordial Spirit stage] level, its aid was actually only marginal.

At his current realm, he could already rely on his Primordial One True Energy [the purest, most fundamental energy from which all things are derived] and the Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique harnessing the power of the five elements and the primordial sun] to dominate the world.

As the saying goes, one masterful technique can conquer all. If his Primordial One True Energy and Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder could not overcome an opponent, then his remaining methods were merely supplementary, their utility greatly diminished.

Eldrin Chen had broken through to the Primordial Spirit Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm], and his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure bound to a cultivator's life force, growing in power with them] was on the verge of advancement. He was not lacking in treasures of this caliber.

Perhaps only a treasure of the Demigod grade could provide Eldrin Chen with significant assistance, offering a more substantial boost to his combat prowess. Discover more cultivation stories at audio‑novel.com.
