Chapter 947 Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm)
Back when Eldrin had yet to reach the Soul Formation realm, he set foot on Mount Donghuang and sensed only that this desolate mountain possessed sparse spiritual energy, with an unfathomable aura lying dormant—an aura that felt profoundly inscrutable.
Now, having returned to Mount Donghuang, Eldrin's cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Violet Realm. He had even forged a world-shaking Immortal Physique, making him truly unmatched throughout the Violet Realm.
The current Eldrin needed only to endure the descent of the immortal ascension lightning tribulation, allowing his celestial body to be nourished by immortal energy, and he would achieve flawless perfection.
By then, with the power of his physical body alone, he would be immortal and indestructible, gazing down upon the mortal realm like a deity of the 9 heavens.
As the saying goes, a commanding position affords a broader view. When Eldrin returned to the Eastern Emperor Mountain this time, he immediately detected anomalies within the vast Spirit-Sealing Mountain Range.
Within the vast expanse of the Spirit-Severing Mountains, each ancient peak stood like a formation anchor.
These mountain ranges resembled 1 dragon vein after another, forming a posture of 10 1000 dragons venerating the heavens, as if paying homage to a supreme existence.
At the heart of the Myriad Dragons Paying Tribute to Heaven Mountain Range stood the severed half-peak of Donghuang Mountain.
With the Bell of the Eastern Sovereign as the foundation, the lifetime Dao fruits and laws of the Old Tomb Guardian as the catalyst, and the hundreds of millions of li of the Spirit-Severing Mountain Range as the nourishment.
"It is to forge a peerless supreme immortal treasure, thereby creating a contingency to withstand the cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss."
"In ages past, both Senior Jiang Huang and the Old Tomb Keeper truly possessed minds that encompassed the cosmos, with talents and strategies of grand vision."
Eldrin gazed upon the vast expanse of the Eastern Emperor Mountain and could not help but sigh as he spoke.
After a moment of reflection in his heart, Eldrin took a step forward and, with the leisurely grace of a stroll through a courtyard, ascended the Eastern Emperor Mountain.
"It is not yet time."
The moment Eldrin set foot upon Mount Donghuang, he knew the Donghuang Bell was not yet destined to emerge.
The Bell of the Eastern Emperor had accumulated the momentum of heaven and earth, along with the incomparably domineering and fierce aura of the Eastern Emperor himself, brewing atop the Eastern Emperor Mountain.
Once this feat is perfected, 1 can wield an invincible momentum to strike down all obstacles, unleashing power comparable to that of a fully tempered blade.
If he were to emerge prematurely, it would all come to naught, preventing him from fully ascending to the realm of an Immortal Artifact.
At this thought, Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly for a moment before smoothing again. "Though we cannot make it emerge ahead of time, we can still help it accumulate a deeper foundation."
Eldrin murmured under his breath, immediately producing 6 fragments of the Demon God Heavenly Pillars.
With a mere flick of his sleeve, billowing pure yang flames surged forth, refining the fragments of the Demon God’s Celestial Pillar into a sky-full of profound iron dust, which then fused into the summit of the Eastern Emperor Mountain.
Having accomplished this, Eldrin finally withdrew his hand.
These 6 Demon God Pillars were forged by the extraterrestrial demon gods using 9 heavenly meteor iron veins, sufficient to craft dozens of Pure Yang Spirit Treasures.
By using this object as nourishment and refining it into the Eastern Emperor Mountain, Eldrin would gradually allow the Eastern Emperor Bell to absorb it. This would ultimately enhance the foundation of the Eastern Emperor Bell, making it increasingly indestructible and boosting its chances of advancing to an immortal treasure.
After dealing with this matter, Eldrin glanced at the Eastern Emperor Mountain, his hands clasped behind his back, and said, "Focus on your gestation in peace. I shall bear the weight of the Violet Realm’s firmament."
After bidding farewell to Mount Donghuang, Eldrin returned to his clan.
He retrieved a few Pure Yang spiritual artifacts and cultivation techniques, then made his way to the Dao Palace sacred ground.
With the minor perfection of his Primordial Chaos Immortal Body, Eldrin's physical form had now become comparable to that of an immortal. It would be no exaggeration to call him a deity in the mortal realm, an exiled immortal walking among the earthly dust.
In his prime, the Eastern Emperor was merely at this level. On the eve of Jiang Huang’s ascension to immortality, he simultaneously cultivated both laws and dao fruits. His combat prowess might have surpassed that of Eldrin (Person Name), yet it was likely only by a narrow margin.
At this stage, no being in the Violet Realm dared to refuse Eldrin's demands, and the Dao Palace Sanctuary was naturally no exception.
After successfully exchanging for the formula of the Mysterious Origin Purple Qi Elixir, Eldrin returned to the Sea of Blazing Flames.
Before commencing the alchemy process, Eldrin immersed himself in comprehending the formula of the Mystic Origin Violet Qi Elixir. He then remarked to Lyra, "Judging from this Mystic Origin Violet Qi Elixir formula, we may have discovered a superior alternative."
"Is that truly the case?"
A look of pleasant surprise crossed Lyra's face as she took the formula for the Mystic Origin Purple Qi Elixir. Unable to contain her delight, she exclaimed, "It seems this time, the Purple Realm might gain several more cultivators at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage."
It turned out that the formula for the Mystic Violet Qi Elixir was an exceedingly profound alchemical recipe.
This alchemical formula verges on the Dao itself, delving deeper into the harmony and evolution of sovereign and adjuvant components, where talismanic script and Dao principles converge.
According to this formula's deduction, the Pure Yang Spirit Pearl can serve as a substitute for the primary ingredient. Other sixth-tier, superior-grade spiritual herbs that greatly nourish the primordial spirit and are rich in Pure Yang Qi (Spiritual Root) may also be used as alternatives.
And Eldrin happened to possess a sixth-tier, superior-grade treasure in his hand, perfectly suitable as a substitute for the Pure Yang Spirit Pearl.
This object was none other than the 'Immortal Lotus Seed' shed by the Li Fire Immortal Lotus, the companion spirit treasure of the Li Fire Vermilion Bird.
That Sunfire Immortal Lotus Seed was a sixth-grade, superior-tier pure yang spiritual treasure, capable of greatly nourishing the Pure Yang Qi (Spiritual Root) within a cultivator's body. It could even assist Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivators in enhancing their cultivation base, and naturally, it could also serve as its primary ingredient.
Using the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Seed as the primary ingredient, he deduced the formula for the Profound Origin Purple Qi Elixir through deduction.
"By adjusting the formula according to the principle of Monarch, Minister, and Envoy, and systematically replacing each auxiliary ingredient, we might refine a treasure pill with nearly identical medicinal efficacy."
Eldrin smiled faintly and murmured to himself before beginning to deduce the alchemical formula.
Deducing the formula for a sixth-grade, superior-tier elixir primarily hinges on 1's talent and comprehension. An ordinary Nascent Soul Dao Lord lacking sufficient innate aptitude would likely struggle to grasp it even after thousands of years of dedicated effort.
Meanwhile, those with exceptional talent or profound mastery in alchemy often required merely a few 100 years to deduce it.
Within the Violet Realm, the talents of both Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name) ranked among the most exceptional, allowing their logical deductions to proceed with remarkable swiftness.
In just 30 years, the 2 perfected the elixir formula and gathered all the required supplementary herbs.
After completing this step, Eldrin did not delay any further and immediately began seclusion to refine the treasured pill.
Thus time flew by in the blink of an eye. Another 30 years had passed before Eldrin finally succeeded in refining the first cauldron of treasured pills.
"It's done!"
That day, within the Heaven-Subduing Demon Furnace, the light flickered faintly as 2 dazzling spiritual lights emerged in succession.
Eldrin stored it away with a sigh, shaking his head regretfully. "The Li Fire Immortal Lotus Elixir is truly priceless, but my cultivation is still somewhat lacking. I only managed to refine 2 pills in this batch."
"For a first attempt, producing 2 pills would already be considered quite satisfactory."
Beside them, Lyra looked quite pleased and said, "Over the years, our magic power has become perfectly harmonized. It’s time we went into seclusion to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage."
"Very well."
Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking. "Let us first break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage before refining the remaining batches of precious pills."
With Eldrin's profoundly solid foundation, breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage would have been virtually assured even without the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Elixir—it would merely have required 3 centuries of accumulating spiritual energy.
Now that he had the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Elixir in hand, he did not intend to waste any time and immediately began secluded cultivation to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).
Thus time flew by, and in just 8 years, he had completely refined the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Elixir and broke through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul.
