Chapter 935 : Forging the Supreme Immortal Sword

"Oh?"

Eternal Profound Chen's brow twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What method might that be?"

"Fuse the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold, then use the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme primordial energy of creation and transformation] to break through its immortal-grade bottleneck."

Eldrin Chen explained methodically, his eyes gleaming as he continued, "When the time comes, we will place the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword here, allowing its sword spirit to autonomously draw upon the cyclical power of the world's fire essence."

"Supplemented by the grand momentum of the Underground Fire Vein, we can establish a Sword-Nurturing Grand Formation [a grand formation designed to nurture and empower a sword artifact]. Perhaps we can nurture a truly world-shaking Peerless Immortal Sword."

As he listened to this detailed explanation, the Old Patriarch felt a growing sense of awe with each word.

After a long moment, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but praise, "To fuse the Violet Flame Immortal Gold and the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword into a single Sword Embryo [the nascent, unformed core of a future divine sword], and then rely upon the world's own grand momentum to lay down the Sword-Nurturing Grand Formation..."

"This is a method that seizes the very Creation [the fundamental act of bringing something new into existence] of heaven and earth. If this endeavor succeeds, it will undoubtedly nurture a true 'Supreme Immortal Sword'. By then, your mastery of the Formation [the art of creating and utilizing magical arrays and formations] path may well rival that of Imperial Sovereign Jiang."

"You flatter me, Old Granduncle."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, his expression turning grave. "However, to establish the Sword-Nurturing Grand Formation, we will need nine fire-attribute Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [ancient treasures imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] to serve as the Formation Eye [the core anchor points of a formation]. This matter will require your assistance, Old Granduncle." Original publication: audio . novel . com - The source of this chapter.

"This matter is also manageable. The clan still possesses four fire-attribute Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure. After I leave, I can arrange exchanges with various Great Sage territories to acquire what we need."

Eternal Profound Chen nodded and was about to take his leave to handle the matter.

Eldrin Chen, however, held him back and said with a smile, "Uncle, there's no need to hurry. There is one more matter that will require your efforts, Old Granduncle."

"Oh?"

Old Granduncle's brow twitched slightly as Eldrin Chen spoke with gravity, "My Primordial One Indestructibility Body still requires weathering the Wind Tribulation to achieve minor perfection."

"I must trouble you, Old Granduncle, to gather information for me regarding the former Gale Divine Ridge. If there are any methods to repair the Earth Vein [the spiritual arteries of the land] of the Gale Divine Ridge, please try to collect them for me as well."

"The Gale Divine Ridge?"

Old Granduncle's expression grew slightly solemn. After a moment, he said, "When the Gale Divine Ridge shattered in the past, the power of the Warm Wind [a divine ability related to gentle, nourishing winds] scattered across the eight directions of heaven and earth. Reassembling it will likely be no easy task."

"I will make some plans for you. However, to resolve this matter completely, I'm afraid you will need to journey to the former site of the Gale Divine Ridge yourself."

"Understood. I thank you for your efforts, Old Granduncle."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said no more.

After Eternal Profound Chen departed, Eldrin Chen wasted no time.

He began meticulously surveying the cyclical flow between the Mantle Plume and the Fire Vein at the heart of the Purple Seal Realm, gradually deducing the method for nurturing the sword.

An immeasurable length of time later, Eldrin Chen finally perfected the sword-nurturing technique.

"With Violet Flame as its womb, the Heavenly Sword as its spirit, the great earth as its furnace, and the world's heart as its flame."

"To nurture a sword by this method is to have heaven and earth itself aid me in forging a Supreme Immortal Sword. The day it is completed will surely shake the heavens and move the earth to tears."

"This formation shall be named the 'Earthly Divine Furnace Sword-Nurturing Formation'."

Gazing upon the completed technique he had deduced, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips.

According to his deduced method, the Violet Flame Immortal Gold would serve as the Sword Embryo [the nascent form of the sword], the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword would act as the sword's spirit, the great Mantle Plume would be the crucible, and the boundless power of the Purple Seal Realm's Fire Vein would provide the furnace fire and nourishment.

Such a monumental feat, once successful, would be tantamount to harnessing the power of the entire world to aid in forging the sword. The day of its completion would undoubtedly yield a blade of Slaughter [a divine ability of supreme destructive power] unparalleled under heaven.

"What are the results?"

At that moment, Eternal Profound Chen standing nearby could not help but inquire.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback and asked, "How long has my seclusion been this time?"

"Not too long, merely thirty years."

Eternal Profound Chen shook his head, then produced nine fire-attribute Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasures [powerful artifacts imbued with the essence of the primordial sun]. A look of joy spread across his face as he said, "Over these years, I have traversed both the Southern Ridge and the Central Ancestral Domain, and have finally managed to gather all nine Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasures."

"Thanks to you, Old Granduncle." Join our community of readers at audio-novel`com.

Eldrin Chen accepted the nine treasures, a faint smile gracing his lips. "With these nine Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasures, my sword-nurturing method can perhaps truly begin," he said.

"Old Granduncle, lend me a hand."

Without further delay, the two immediately set about arranging the grand formation.

Working together, they spent several dozen days before finally completing the setup of the Sword-Nurturing Grand Formation [a complex mystical array designed to temper and empower spiritual swords].

At this moment, Eldrin Chen's expression grew increasingly solemn. Gazing at the Violet Flame Immortal Gold at the heart of the Formation [a complex arrangement of energy channels and symbols used to focus or manipulate spiritual power], he said, "Old Granduncle [a respectful term for a great-uncle], guard me. Ensure no one disturbs me."

With those words, Eldrin Chen drew forth his Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword [a divine sword forged from solar essence and abyssal power].

Looking upon the Supreme Immortal Sword [a sword of the highest immortal grade] that had accompanied him for so many years, Eldrin Chen spoke with a trace of reluctance, "The ascension of the Violet Flame Immortal Gold is not yet complete. To harvest it now would yield only a Near-Immortal Treasures [an artifact of immense power, just shy of true immortal-grade]."

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

"*Hum—*"

The sword-light of the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword shimmered, emitting a resonant hum. A calm voice then issued forth, "To me, the sword's physical form is like the mortal flesh of a common man. Precious, yes, but not something that cannot be relinquished."

"For my master to use me, the sword spirit, and merge me into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold—this itself is the greatest opportunity of my existence."

"Good!"

Eldrin Chen gave a firm nod. Without hesitation, he shattered the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword, releasing its sword spirit to merge with the Violet Flame Immortal Gold.

He then channeled the Primordial One Primordial Solar Flame [the most ancient and pure flame of the primordial sun], refining the shattered sword fragments into their most fundamental essence—a liquid treasure of immortal metal—and fused it all into the Violet Flame Immortal Gold.

The sword spirit merged with the Violet Flame Immortal Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of violet flames], immediately beginning to ceaselessly absorb the immortal metal's precious liquid essence. Simultaneously, it drew upon the power of the Formation [a complex array of energy channels and symbols used to manipulate ambient power] to frantically siphon the earth's core Fire Elemental Power [the raw, concentrated essence of the fire element].

In that moment, the Violet Flame Immortal Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of violet flames] began to glow with ever-increasing brilliance. One after another, nascent Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths that govern a cultivator's chosen Dao] manifested as intricate patterns upon its surface. It seemed the threshold of the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and ascended to a higher state of existence] realm was not far off.

"All proceeds smoothly."

Seeing that the process of fusing the Solar Fire Returning Abyss Sword [a divine blade forged from solar fire and abyssal essence] with the Violet Flame Immortal Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of violet flames] was proceeding without any unforeseen complications, Eldrin Chen finally allowed himself to release a deep sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths that govern a cultivator's chosen Dao] within this piece of Violet Flame Immortal Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of violet flames] had not yet fully matured. Had it been allowed to advance completely to the immortal-grade realm, it would have birthed a sliver of sentience. At that point, attempting to merge a sword spirit with it would have been an immensely difficult task.

However, even with this step accomplished, the complete fusion of the Violet Flame Immortal Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of violet flames] and the sword spirit would not be a simple matter.

Furthermore, even if the fusion succeeded, and the rate at which the Violet Flame Immortal Gold [a legendary metal imbued with the essence of violet flames] absorbed Fire Elemental Power [the raw, concentrated essence of the fire element] increased dramatically, advancing it to the immortal-grade realm would still require a not insignificant span of time.

After all, its natural progression would have taken four hundred and seventy thousand years. Even with Eldrin Chen leveraging the world's natural energy currents to establish the 'Earthly Divine Furnace Sword-Nurturing Formation' [a grand formation that uses the earth itself as a furnace to temper and nurture a weapon], achieving such a leap overnight remained impossible.

By Eldrin Chen's estimation, with the assistance of the Earthly Divine Furnace Sword-Nurturing Grand Formation [a grand formation that uses the earth itself as a furnace to temper and nurture a weapon], it would still take approximately thirty thousand years for the sword's gestation to be complete.

Eldrin Chen certainly could not wait for thirty thousand years. Therefore, he had naturally made further preparations. With a soft exhalation, he released a wisp of profoundly mysterious Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a primordial energy of creation, tinged with the essence of violet mystery].

This wisp of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura was profoundly mysterious, seeming to contain infinite Great Path Path Principles brewing within it, evolving into a scene of World-Opening [the primordial act of creation].

Unlike the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura of old, the one Eldrin Chen manifested today writhed like a living dragon. It was imbued with a profound violet essence, coiling and dancing through the air like a True Dragon [a supreme mythical beast] presiding over the dawn of World-Opening.

This particular strand of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura was no ordinary feat. It was the culmination of Eldrin Chen's four hundred and ninety years of arduous cultivation, forged by fusing together forty-nine individual strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

It was the even more profound Acquired Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a higher-order, cultivated form of the primordial energy]. A single strand was sufficient to help a Primordial Solar Spiritual Root [a cultivator's innate spiritual foundation of the highest solar affinity] shatter its Limit-Breaker [the inherent ceiling of its potential] and ascend to the legendary realm of Supreme Immortal Rank [the pinnacle grade of spiritual foundation].
