Chapter 994 : A Vow to Ascend

The words "Ascending to Immortality" [the process of transcending mortality to become an immortal being] are spoken lightly, but throughout the ages, how many have truly been able to accomplish it?

Eldrin Chen's recent Ascend to Immortal Eternity has caused a significant drain on the Purple Realm's Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi [the fundamental life-giving energy of the world]. If the two of them were to attempt Ascending to Immortality again within a short time, it would likely deplete the world's Primordial Essence Power.

However, under the threat of the Calamity Demon God, the Heaven and Earth Will [the sentient will of the world itself] clearly understands priorities. Thus, even knowing their breakthrough now would cause great damage to the world's vitality, it was still willing to witness them undergo their tribulation and Ascending to Immortality.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin Chen made a vow to assist them in Ascending to Immortality.

Having resolved to aid their ascension, he led the group towards the Central Ancestral Domain. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Purple God Domain.

"Husband, why have you brought us here..."

As they stood within the Purple God Domain, Verdant Consort's brow furrowed slightly, her voice tinged with hesitation.

Beside her, Lyra Jiang also sensed something, her intuition stirring. "Within the Central Ancestral Domain, there seems to be... a hidden ruin?"

"Hmm—"

Eldrin Chen nodded, offering no further explanation. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel .c om.

He formed a hand seal, the Immortal Mark upon his brow radiating the five-colored Primordial Chaos Immortal Light. One after another, these luminous imprints fell into the void, and without anyone realizing it, they opened a passage into a Void Immortal Treasury [a legendary treasury hidden within the folds of space and time].

"This is…"

The others, their expressions shifting with surprise, swiftly followed Eldrin Chen as he stepped into the immortal treasury.

Concealed within the void, the treasury's interior was like a miniature Great Thousand World [a vast cosmos containing countless realms]. The moment they crossed the threshold, it felt as if they had been transported to an entirely different world.

At the heart of this treasury stood a majestic, ancient divine mountain. It was a sight of breathtaking grandeur, towering like a colossal Immortal Sword piercing the heavens and anchoring the earth.

The group ascended the mountain path, step by step, until they reached its summit. There, they beheld a deep pool, its waters shrouded in swirling, violet-hued Dao Aura [the visible manifestation of profound cosmic principles].

Within the spring's depths, an endless flow of Primordial Chaos [the primeval, undifferentiated state before creation] essence seemed to circulate. Faintly visible within it were the shimmering outlines of one Great Dao [the fundamental laws and principles governing all existence] rule after another.

"This is…"

Gazing upon this pool, everyone's pupils contracted slightly, their faces etched with astonishment.

None recognized the water before them, yet each drop seemed to be condensed from the very substance of the Great Dao rules. Every single strand of it pulsed with immense Great Dao Power [power derived from the fundamental laws of the cosmos].

It must be understood that the Great Dao [the supreme, boundless principle underlying all existence] is without shore. Beings of this level can truly be described as earth-shattering and heaven-startling; only supreme Immortal Lords of the Great Luo Golden Immortal [the pinnacle realm of immortal cultivation] tier possess the qualification to even touch its mysteries.

Eldrin Chen was merely at the Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] realm, and his companions were even at the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, a realm below the Immortal] cultivation level. How could they not be utterly astounded upon witnessing such a thing?

With this thought, their gazes fixed unwaveringly upon the deep pool before them, a surge of excitement stirring within their hearts.

Lyra Jiang grasped Eldrin Chen's hand and could not help but ask, "Could this be a legacy left behind by the Purple Immortal Lord [a title for a powerful immortal] for us, his descendants?"

Eldrin Chen did not answer immediately. With a mere flick of his sleeve, he drew forth a divine Jade Slip [a jade tablet used to store information] from the depths of the pool.

He took the divine Jade Slip and, with but a single glance, found recorded upon it the origins of this ancient pool. The opening lines stated:

"This is Primordial Chaos Water [a primordial substance of immense power, born from chaos], which I, this lord, chanced upon while journeying through the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation]. It can mend a cultivator's Deep-Seated Foundation [the fundamental and deeply rooted basis of one's cultivation path]."

"Today, I depart to face my tribulation, uncertain if I shall have the chance to return through the cycle of reincarnation. Thus, I leave this object for you, young friend, to forge a bond of goodwill."

Eldrin Chen carefully perused the divine jade. He discovered the information recorded upon it was sparse, with but a few scant strokes merely recounting the origin of this Primordial Chaos Water.

It turned out this treasure was a rare wonder that could only be nurtured within the Primordial Chaos. It was said to possess the supreme, heaven-defying ability to reshape one's foundation and alter destiny itself. Its value was said to be no less than that of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure born from nature, possessing immense innate power].

Legend holds that even a Nine Heavens Immortal who has attained Ascending to Immortality, if they enter and receive nourishment from these waters to temper their foundation, will experience a dramatic surge in their Deep-Seated Foundation [the fundamental cultivation base of a practitioner]. Their chances of a future breakthrough to Earth Immortal would also be greatly enhanced.

For beings like the Calamity Demon God—fallen Innate Divine Spirit [a being born with a divine nature] who have become mere post-natal Demon God—if they undergo the baptism of this Ascension Immortal Pool, they could reverse their post-natal Demon God nature and achieve a body of an innate Demon God.

For Lyra Jiang and the others, this Ascension Immortal Pool could vastly supplement their foundations, accelerate their cultivation path, aid them in Comprehending Laws [grasping the fundamental principles of reality] to form their Dao Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation path], and help them cultivate the Immortal Ascension Great Dao required for the Great Luo Foundation.

After reading the letter, Lyra Jiang spoke thoughtfully, "It seems now that the Purple Immortal Lord foresaw our arrival today?"

"For an existence at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, peering across the Long River of time to deduce such matters is perhaps not a difficult feat."

Eldrin Chen took up the thread, then shook his head. "A pity. My Laws of the Dao [comprehension of the Dao's principles], Dao Fruit, and Immortal Physique [an immortal-grade physical constitution] are already utterly perfected. My foundation is flawless and complete. For me, this treasure can only be considered a pleasant embellishment." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audi novel.com.

"However, it can aid your cultivation. Let us see if it can help you forge a Great Luo Foundation."

"Mm." Verdant Consort nodded, yet her tone held regret. "There is only one portion of Primordial Chaos Water [water imbued with the essence of primordial chaos]. I fear it is only sufficient for one person's use. It should be given to Lyra."

Upon hearing this, the group fell into a contemplative silence.

Among the women, Lyra Jiang possessed the highest innate talent, and her Deep-Seated Foundation was also the most profound and solid.

If she were to obtain the Primordial Chaos Water [a primordial substance embodying the essence of chaos, foundational for supreme cultivation], it might be sufficient for her to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art harnessing the boundless power of primordial chaos] and even forge that Supreme Dao Fruit [the ultimate fruit of one's cultivation path, representing the pinnacle of attainment]. Her future prospects could then be described as truly boundless.

In comparison, Verdant Consort's foundation is slightly less solid. If she were to obtain this Primordial Chaos Water, she might gain a sliver of a chance to cultivate into a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm of profound power and longevity], yet it would remain a mere, almost negligible possibility.

The path of immortality is long, and the road to becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal is immeasurably distant. While cultivating an Immortal Physique [a body refined to an immortal state], a Dao Fruit, and the Laws of the Dao [profound principles governing reality, mastered as divine abilities] together can be considered a Great Luo Foundation [a foundational attainment for the Great Luo path], it is still merely a possibility, not a guarantee.

Immortals with such foundations are not uncommon in the Immortal Realm [the realm where immortals reside]. Yet, most either lack sufficient destiny or falter in their later momentum, halting their progress at the Earth Immortal [an immortal realm connected to the earthly plane] or Heaven Immortal Realm [a celestial immortal realm] at best.

Contemplating this, Verdant Consort chose not to contend for this opportunity.

Lyra Jiang witnessed this, seeming on the verge of speech yet finding no words. Silence descended, heavy with unspoken thoughts.

Lyra Jiang took the Primordial Chaos Water and entered seclusion. Eldrin Chen also did not linger long within the Central Ancestral Domain [the central, most sacred region of the ancestral lands].

He returned to Spirit Isle Lake [a serene lake dotted with spiritual isles]. There, he divided his time between forging Forbidden Artifact [powerful, often restricted magical treasures] for his close companions and guiding Verdant Consort in her cultivation of the Laws of the Dao and her Dao Fruit. Faithful to his promise, he also held grand lectures to disseminate the Dao [the fundamental principle or path] to the world once every three hundred years.

Thus, time flowed swiftly by. In the blink of an eye, six hundred years had passed.

Until this day, when Verdant Consort, with the full assistance of Eldrin Chen, finally achieved enlightenment and comprehended the Green Lotus Law [a profound law or principle symbolized by the enduring purity of the green lotus].

"Both the Immortal Physique [a supreme physical constitution that grants one the potential for immortality] and the Laws of the Dao [profound divine abilities derived from comprehending the fundamental principles of reality] have been successfully mastered!"

Eldrin Chen observed the Green Lotus Law [a profound law of the Dao centered on the principles of life, purity, and unyielding growth] manifested by Verdant Consort, and a look of profound satisfaction graced his features.

Ever since Verdant Consort awakened from the Red Dust Butterfly Dream Technique [a profound cultivation art involving deep meditation and enlightenment through dream-like states] and founded the Path of the Azure Lotus [a supreme cultivation path embodying the essence of the azure lotus, symbolizing purity and transcendence], she had already demonstrated the potential for Ascending to Immortality [the final, legendary stage of cultivation where one transcends mortality to become an immortal].

Thereafter, she obtained the Post-Heaven Immortal Root Azure Lotus Rhizome [a legendary spiritual root, the rhizome of an azure lotus with post-heaven origins, possessing immense life-giving power], and with its aid, she forged the Green Lotus Immortal Constitution [an immortal-grade constitution that embodies the vitality, purity, and regenerative power of the green lotus]. Her innate talent and Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable foundational strength of a cultivator, accumulated over countless cycles of refinement] grew increasingly formidable.

Now, under the tutelage of Eldrin Chen, her mastery of the Green Lotus Law was, in truth, an outcome long foreseen.

After all, Eldrin Chen's Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure intimately bound to a cultivator's life force and cultivation base], the 'Primordial Green Lotus Platform' [a platform formed from a primordial green lotus, serving as a seat of enlightenment and power], was a Supreme Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal rank, possessing world-shaking power] transformed from an Immortal Rank [pertaining to the realm of true immortals] Verdant Lotus [a mythical lotus plant of supreme spiritual purity and vitality].

Considering that Verdant Consort now cultivated both Laws of the Dao and an Immortal Physique, her Deep-Seated Foundation was no longer inferior to that of the legendary Jiang the Sovereign Emperor. A swell of paternal pride warmed Eldrin Chen's heart as he inquired, "Your path to Ascending to Immortality now lies clear and unobstructed before you."

"What shall be your next step? Will you condense a Dao Fruit [the ultimate fruit of one's cultivation, representing the pinnacle comprehension of one's chosen Dao], or will you directly brave the heavenly tribulation for Ascending to Immortality?"
