Chapter 935 Purpleflame Immortal Gold, Acquired Primordial Purple Qi

"Oh?"

Chen Changxuan’s brow twitched slightly as he couldn’t resist asking, “May I ask what method it is?”

Integrating the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold, then using the Primordial Violet Qi to break through its immortal-grade bottleneck.

Eldrin spoke with a measured cadence, his eyes gleaming as he declared, "When the time comes, we shall place the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss here, allowing its sword spirit to autonomously draw upon the cyclical power of heaven and earth's fire essence."

"By harnessing the grand momentum of the subterranean fire veins to establish a Sword Nurturing Formation, we might just cultivate a world-shaking, peerless immortal sword."

The old clan leader listened to his detailed account, and could not help but feel a growing sense of astonishment in his heart.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but marvel, "To fuse Violetflame Immortal Gold with the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss into a single sword embryo, then harness the very forces of heaven and earth to lay down a grand sword-nurturing array."

"This is a method that seizes the creation of heaven and earth. Should this endeavor succeed, it will undoubtedly nurture a true 'Peerless Immortal Sword'. By then, your mastery of array formations may no longer be inferior to Emperor Jiang’s."

"You flatter me, Elder Uncle."

Eldrin shook his head, his expression grave. "However, to set up the Nurturing Sword Grand Formation, we still require 9 pure-yang spirit treasures of the fire attribute to serve as the formation's anchors. This matter must be entrusted to Grand-Uncle for arrangement."

"This matter is easily resolved. Our clan still possesses 4 pure-yang spirit treasures of the fire attribute. After I depart, I shall negotiate exchanges with the major sacred grounds to acquire what we need."

Chen Changxuan gave a nod and prepared to withdraw to attend to the matter.

Eldrin pulled him back down and said with a laugh, "Uncle, there's no need to rush. There's 1 more matter that requires your assistance, Elder Uncle."

"Oh?"

The Elder Uncle’s brow twitched slightly as Eldrin spoke with solemn gravity, “My Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body still requires weathering the Wind Tribulation to achieve minor perfection.”

"I sincerely hope Uncle will take the trouble to gather some information regarding the former Xunwind Divine Ridge for me. If there are any methods to restore the ley lines of Xunwind Divine Ridge, please do your utmost to collect them for me as well."

"Xunwind Ridge?"

The elder’s expression tightened slightly. After a moment, he said, “When the ancient Zephyr God Ridge shattered, the Zephyr Qi of the Violet Realm scattered to the 8 corners of the world. I fear it will not be easy to gather it again.”

"I shall devise some plans for you, but to fully resolve this matter, I'm afraid you must personally journey to the former site of Xunwind Divine Peaks."

"Well, thank you for your trouble, Elder Uncle."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded and said no more.

After Chen Changxuan departed, Eldrin did not linger for long.

He continuously surveyed the mantle plume and the circulatory patterns of the fire veins within the Purple Realm's core, gradually deducing the method of nurturing his sword.

No 1 knew how much time had passed before Eldrin finally perfected the art of sword nurturing.

"Violet flame as the womb, the Celestial Sword as the spirit, the great earth as the crucible, and the heart of the world as the fire."

"If I nurture the sword through this method, it would be as if Heaven and Earth were aiding me in forging a supreme immortal sword. On the day of its completion, it shall shake the heavens and earth, and move both gods and ghosts to tears."

"This formation shall be named the 'Earthly Crucible Sword-Nurturing Array'."

Observing the completed technique he had deduced, a faint smile blossomed at the corners of Eldrin's lips as he murmured to himself.

According to the sword-nurturing method he had deduced, 1 must use the Purple Flame Immortal Gold as the sword embryo, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) as the sword spirit, the mantle plume as the forging furnace, and the boundless power of the Purple Realm's fire veins as both the furnace flames and nourishment.

Such a magnificent feat, once accomplished, would harness the power of the entire heavens and earth to aid him in forging the sword. On the day of its completion, the blade would undoubtedly be hailed as peerless in slaughter and conquest.

"What are the results?"

At that moment, Chen Changxuan (Person Name) standing nearby couldn't refrain from asking.

Seeing Eldrin (Person Name) fall silent for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "How long has it been since I began my closed-door cultivation?"

"Not long at all, merely 30 years."

Chen Changxuan shook his head, then took out 9 fire-attribute Pure Yang Spirit Treasures and said delightedly, "Over these years, I've traveled throughout the Southern Ridge and the Central Ancestral Domain, finally managing to gather all 9 Pure Yang Spirit Treasures."

"Many thanks, Elder Uncle."

Eldrin received the 9 treasures, a faint smile gracing his lips. "With these 9 Pure Yang Spirit Treasures," he said, "my Sword Nurturing Art may finally begin in earnest."

"Uncle, lend me a hand."

Without further delay, the 2 immediately began setting up the grand formation.

After working together for dozens of days, they finally completed the setup of the Sword Nurturing Grand Formation.

At this moment, Eldrin’s expression grew increasingly solemn as he gazed at the Violet Flame Immortal Gold at the center of the formation. "Elder Uncle, please guard me during my cultivation. Remember, do not allow anyone to disturb me," he said.

Eldrin finished speaking and immediately drew forth the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

Gazing at the supreme immortal sword that had accompanied him for many years, Eldrin spoke with reluctance, "The Violet Flame Immortal Gold has not yet completed its ascension. If we pluck it now, we would likely obtain only a treasure that approaches immortality."

"The only course now is to fuse you into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold."

"Chant—"

The blade radiance of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) quivered faintly, emitting a resonant hum, yet a tranquil voice emerged: "To me, the sword's form is but like the mortal flesh of ordinary men—precious indeed, yet not beyond relinquishment."

"Master, by making me your sword spirit and fusing me into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold, you have granted me the greatest opportunity of this lifetime."

Excellent!

Eldrin nodded decisively, immediately shattering the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to merge its sword spirit into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold.

He then urged on the Primal Chaos Pure Yang Fire, refining the sword fragments into the most fundamental immortal gold liquid, allowing it to merge with the Purple Flame Immortal Gold.

The sword spirit, having merged with the Purple Flame Immortal Gold, immediately began incessantly absorbing the immortal gold’s precious liquid while madly drawing upon the earth’s core fire elemental power through the aid of the formation.

For a moment, the Violetflame Immortal Gold shone with increasingly dazzling radiance, as newly-born threads of Dao patterns began to take form. The threshold of Immortal Ascension seemed almost within reach.

"All is proceeding as planned."

Seeing that no accidents occurred during the process of merging the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) with the Purple Flame Immortal Gold, Eldrin (Person Name) finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the laws within this Violetflame Immortal Gold had not fully matured. Had it been allowed to advance to the Immortal rank, it would have developed a trace of spiritual awareness. By then, merging it with a sword spirit would have been an exceedingly difficult task.

However, even after completing this step, it was no easy task for the Violet Flame Immortal Gold and the sword spirit to fully merge.

Moreover, even if the fusion succeeded and the speed at which the Violet Flame Immortal Gold absorbed fire elemental power greatly increased, it would still likely require a considerable amount of time to advance to the immortal rank.

After all, the breakthrough itself required 470,000 years to achieve success. Even though Eldrin had laid down the "Earth Divine Crucible Sword Nurturing Array" in accordance with the cosmic forces, it was still impossible to reach the pinnacle in a single step.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, with the assistance of the Earthly Divine Crucible Sword-Nurturing Grand Array, it would require approximately 30 1000 years to fully nurture this sword.

Eldrin knew for certain he couldn't wait for 30,000 years, so naturally he made additional preparations. With a mere parting of his lips, he released an profoundly mysterious strand of Primordial Purple Qi.

This wisp of Primordial Purple Qi was profoundly mysterious, as if it contained infinite laws of the Great Dao brewing within, manifesting scenes of world creation.

Unlike the Primordial Purple Qi of the past, the strand Eldrin (Person Name) wielded today undulated like a soaring dragon, saturated with profound violet essence that swirled and danced like a primordial true dragon carving heaven and earth.

This wisp of Primordial Purple Qi was truly extraordinary. It had been painstakingly refined by Eldrin over 4 100 and 90 years, forged through the fusion of 40-9 strands of Primordial Purple Qi.

It was an even more profound Acquired Primordial Purple Qi. A single wisp alone could assist a Pure Yang Spirit Root in breaking through its limits, elevating it to the legendary supreme immortal rank.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, carrying with it the scent of snow and blood. Lin Xuan stood atop the precipice, his white robes stained crimson, yet his gaze remained as sharp as an unsheathed sword. "Eldrin, you've pursued me for 3 1000 miles. Do you truly believe you can claim my life?" His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable pressure that seemed to freeze the very air. From the swirling mist emerged a figure clad in black. Eldrin (Person Name) sneered, a long scar on his face twisting with the movement. "Lin Xuan, hand over the Heavenly Dao Jade Pendant (Cultivation Artifact), and I might grant you a swift death." Lin Xuan's fingers subtly traced the patterns on the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure). This divine weapon had accompanied him for over a 100 years, drinking the blood of countless enemies. Today, it would taste yet another. "Come then," Lin Xuan's voice was barely a whisper, yet it echoed with the force of a thunderclap across the mountains. In that instant, his figure blurred. The Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss erupted with blinding crimson light, its aura slicing through the falling snowflakes, each 1 splitting perfectly in 2. Eldrin's expression shifted dramatically. He had not anticipated that Lin Xuan, despite his severe injuries, still possessed such formidable strength. Hastily, he formed hand seals, summoning a swirling vortex of black energy before him. "Arrogant fool! Do you truly believe your damaged cultivation base can withstand my 9 Serpents Soul-Devouring Art (Demonic Art)?" The clash of energies sent shockwaves rippling outward, uprooting ancient trees and sending rocks tumbling down the mountainside. The very sky seemed to darken as the 2 powerful cultivators engaged in their life-and-death struggle. Lin Xuan could feel the spiritual energy within his dantian churning violently. The wounds from 3 days and nights of relentless pursuit gnawed at him, but his will remained unyielding. He recalled the words of his master, spoken all those years ago beneath the setting sun in the training grounds: "Xuan'er, the path of cultivation is a journey of self-refinement. It is not merely about accumulating power, but about comprehending the very essence of heaven and earth." Those words now echoed in his heart, steadying his resolve. His sword technique shifted, the flaming arcs drawing mysterious patterns in the air, each movement containing profound insights into the Dao. Eldrin's attacks grew more frantic. "Impossible! You're merely at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm! How can you possibly...?" A faint, cold smile finally touched Lin Xuan's lips. "Some truths can only be understood through life-and-death battle." The crimson light of his sword intensified, coalescing into the form of a blazing phoenix that soared skyward with a piercing cry, its wings spanning nearly a 100 feet as it blotted out the sky.
