Chapter 948 Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Law
When Eldrin emerged from the seclusion chamber, he discovered that Lyra had already achieved her breakthrough ahead of him.
Seeing Eldrin, Lyra couldn't help but laugh. "With this breakthrough, though your magic power still falls short of Demigod Ancestor, I'm afraid you're not far from it now."
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.
Long before his breakthrough, when Eldrin was still at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, the profundity of his spiritual power had already far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul.
Now that he had broken through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul, his magic power had surged by another 50 percent, bringing him remarkably close to the realm of a half-immortal.
If he were to add the 2 immortal-grade divine abilities, 'Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder' and 'Primordial Chaos True Qi', Eldrin would possess near-immortal combat prowess even without relying on his physical body.
"The physical body remains nearly invincible, yet cannot advance further until the cultivation of the 5 Elements Ancestral Veins is complete."
"There is still significant room for improvement in magical power, yet even when pushed to its absolute limit in the mortal realm, it ultimately cannot shatter the barrier of immortality."
Eldrin murmured softly, then shook his head after a moment. "The path ahead requires me to comprehend the power of laws and cultivate a supreme Dao Fruit."
"This path is likely far from easy." Lyra shook her head, then nodded thoughtfully. "Having reached the Late Stage of Primordial Spirit, it is indeed time for us to begin comprehending the power of laws."
"Mm." Eldrin nodded calmly before stating, "I intend to enter seclusion within the Flaming Sea of the Infernal Prison next, drawing upon the Li Fire Principles within the Li Fire Vermilion Bird to comprehend the power of the Pure Yang Heavenly Flames."
"Very well."
Lyra nodded and said, "The Enlightening Blossom has ripened. I plan to enter seclusion for a period to attempt comprehending the fifth type of arcane force."
With those words spoken, Eldrin looked down at the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Seed and said, "The Li Fire Immortal Lotus Seed can still refine 2 cauldrons of treasure elixirs, and the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl can also refine 1 more cauldron."
"Before we enter seclusion, let us first refine the precious elixir."
In the current Zi Realm, only a handful of individuals could refine sixth-tier, superior-grade Pure Yang Treasure Pills, with Eldrin's alchemy skills being the most exceptional among them.
The Fire-Transcending Lotus Seed was far too rare and precious a treasure. To avoid squandering such a supreme marvel, Eldrin resolved to personally refine it.
After breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), both of them had significantly increased their magical power, and the speed of refining the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Pill (Elixir) had also accelerated considerably.
The 2 joined forces to refine the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Pills. After approximately 1 cycle of 60 years, they had finally succeeded in producing all 3 batches of the Li Fire Immortal Lotus Pills.
This time, Eldrin's magical power had grown considerably, and his success rate in pill refinement had also improved significantly. From 3 furnaces of alchemy, he produced a total of 10 precious pills.
This treasure pill can increase a cultivator's certainty of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) by 30 percent. Barring unforeseen circumstances, it should be sufficient to nurture 4 or 5 practitioners to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).
At this thought, Lyra remarked with considerable cheer, "Both Huaixu and Lila have accumulated spiritual energy the fastest. They've already touched the threshold of the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage."
Seraphina Qu's cultivation progress was equally impressive, having already reached the 6th-layer of the Nascent Soul Realm over these years. With these precious elixirs, they should be able to break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage within 2 centuries.
"Hmm."
Eldrin also nodded, then summoned Qing Ji and Lila along with 2 others.
He distributed a precious elixir to each of them before speaking. "There are still over 6 100 years until the next Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss. During this time, I intend to enter seclusion to comprehend the power of laws."
"While there is still time, you should also enter seclusion soon to break through your cultivation. Strive to reach the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) before this Demonic Abyss Cataclysm arrives."
Lila took the treasure elixir and declared with considerable confidence, "With this pill in hand, I shall undoubtedly break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage within 1 sexagenary cycle."
Eldrin nodded slightly, a glimmer of comprehension dawning in his eyes.
Among the few, Qing Ji cultivated the Red Dust Butterfly Dream Technique (Cultivation Art), forging a true immortal foundation. Lila (Person Name) inherited the legacy of the Heavenly Mountain Goddess, while Seraphina Qu (Person Name) possessed the mythical fairy seed of the 7-Colored Immortal Clam.
It could be said that the foundations of these 3 individuals were all exceptionally remarkable, each possessing a certain degree of confidence in achieving ascension to immortality.
Only Yan Zijie's foundation was somewhat lacking. Even with the precious elixir in hand, she would likely need more than 1 attempt to successfully break through the threshold of Primordial Spirit, Late Stage.
At this thought, Eldrin took out 2 more precious elixirs and handed them to Yan Zi Ji, saying, "Your cultivation is insufficient. Breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage in a single attempt may prove difficult."
"Fortunately, with your abundant lifespan, there's no need to rush. As long as you persistently continue to break through, you will ultimately succeed."
"I understand."
Yan Ziqi bit her lip lightly, then took the elixir.
Cultivators like her, blessed with a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), typically advance with unparalleled smoothness in their early years. Yet, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, their spiritual power invariably proves far less profound than that of their peers at the same stage.
Nowadays, the difficulty of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) far surpasses that faced by ordinary Primordial Spirit cultivators.
For mortals seeking to ascend as immortals, the path is fraught with even greater hardships. Over millions of years, the Violet Realm has witnessed several 100 successful ascensions, yet among Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) cultivators, those who achieved immortality likely number no more than a single hand's count.
At this thought, Eldrin still cautioned, "The Flaming Prison of Blazing Fire is 1 of the world's most supreme underground fire veins. As a cultivator with a fire spiritual root, you should practice here more often in the future—it may smooth your path of cultivation somewhat."
After bestowing the precious elixirs, Eldrin ventured deep into the Inferno Blaze Sea to enter seclusion, contemplating the power of laws.
The so-called Laws are a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, the lifelong pursuit of countless cultivators.
When a cultivator comprehends the power of laws, their soul may merge with the laws as 1, enabling them to wield this profound force. With mere gestures, they can unleash divine chains of laws to smite all foes, possessing truly formidable might.
Such supreme power was not something that could be attained within the mortal realm. Once comprehended, it would be sufficient to annihilate all adversaries.
Not to mention the immortals who have fully comprehended the laws, even a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm) who has grasped illusory laws wields earth-shattering power.
Before a Demigod Ancestor (Cultivation Realm), even the most powerful existence at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul was as vulnerable as an infant, 1 that could be subdued with a mere snap of the fingers.
For a cultivator seeking to comprehend the power of laws, the most rudimentary method is to thoroughly study hundreds of classics, then continuously deduce the mysteries of their own latent energy. Through mastering this esoteric power, they can gradually unravel the principles of cosmic law.
The second method involves comprehending the power of cosmic realms, experiencing the fundamental principles governing heaven and earth, and thereby attaining insight into the forces of natural law.
Additionally, 1 may seek out treasures imbued with Dao Laws to comprehend the power of laws from them.
Just as the Crimson Sparrow of Li Fire possesses the power of Li Fire Law within its body, if a cultivator can thoroughly comprehend it, they too can cultivate the power of Li Fire Law.
At this moment, Eldrin sought to refine and perfect his own Primordial Sun Heavenly Flame by comprehending the Li Fire principles contained within the Li Fire Vermilion Bird.
"What profoundly arcane power."
As the Li Fire Vermilion Bird unveiled the profound mysteries of the Li Fire Laws before Eldrin (Person Name), a flicker of astonishment surfaced in his pupils.
Eldrin had cultivated for thousands of years, attaining profound mastery over supreme powers such as the Pure Yang Fire.
Chapter 1 The biting mountain wind whipped across the cliffside, carrying with it the scent of pine and decay. Lin Feng tightened his threadbare robe, his knuckles white as he clutched the 3 Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his palm. They felt both impossibly heavy and pathetically light. "30-2 1000," he murmured, the number a bitter taste on his tongue. 30-2 1000 more Low-Grade Spirit Stones just to attempt a breakthrough to the next layer of the Cyclonic Art. At his current rate of accumulating a dozen or so stones per month from menial sect tasks, it would take him nearly 2 100 years. A lifetime, and then some. He gazed into the abyss below, where mist coiled like sleeping serpents. For thousands of years, countless disciples of the Verdant Peak Sect had stood where he stood, contemplating the same impossible chasm between their aspirations and their reality. "Brother Lin!" a clear voice called out, slicing through his dark thoughts. He turned to see Su Lingsu (Person Name), her robes of moonlight silk shimmering faintly in the twilight. In her hand, she held a jade vial, cool to the touch even from a distance. "You look troubled," she said, her eyes holding a depth that belied her youthful appearance. "The path of cultivation is long and fraught with tribulations. Do not let despair cloud your Dao Heart." Lin Feng gave a weak smile. "Sister Su is too kind. This junior is merely contemplating the vastness of the heavens and the insignificance of 1 ant." Su Lingsu's lips curved slightly. "Even an ant can topple a mountain, given enough time and resolve." She extended the jade vial. "This is for you. A single Essence-Gathering Pill (Elixir). It may not bridge the gap of 30-2 1000 stones, but it might illuminate the next step." His breath hitched. An Essence-Gathering Pill! Its value was over a 100 times his monthly earnings. "I... I cannot accept this. The debt—" "Is nothing between fellow disciples," she interrupted gently, yet her tone held an iron finality. "Use it well. The Outer Sect Tournament approaches in 20-some days. Do not waste this chance." Before he could refuse again, she had pressed the cool vial into his hand. Her fingers brushed against his, and for a fleeting moment, he felt a surge of pure, unadulterated spiritual energy course through his meridians, a sensation more potent than any pill. Then, she was gone, vanished into the gathering shadows as if she were 1 of them. Alone once more, Lin Feng looked down at the vial. The jade was smooth and impossibly green. Hope, it seemed, could be held in the palm of 1's hand. He thought of the tournament, of the countless disciples who would compete, of the single, coveted spot as an Inner Sect disciple that was the prize. 1 100 years had passed since he first entered the sect, a boy of 12 with fire in his heart and dreams of immortality. Now, he was a man, and the fire had dwindled to embers. But as he clutched the vial, he felt a spark. Perhaps, just perhaps, it was enough to start a flame. Deep within his soul, the faint, almost forgotten mark of the Chaos Pearl (Supreme Treasure) pulsed once, a silent, sleeping god waiting for its wake-up call.
