Chapter 809 : The Pill of Ascension

"Not only did I refine five Nascent Soul Pill in a single cauldron, but the yield from refining the Pure Yang Elixir was also quite substantial. You all contributed significantly last time, and this Pure Yang Elixir is fitting for you to receive."

"This..."

Eldrin Chen hesitated slightly, then finally cupped his hands and said, "Since you bestow it with such generosity, Senior, this junior will not refuse your kindness."

Seeing the three accept the Treasure Pill, Riverlord Chang nodded and then spoke, "With your current cultivation levels, refining a Pure Yang Treasure Pill alone is difficult, and consuming one by yourself would be somewhat wasteful."

"I possess a Pill Division Method [a technique to split a potent pill into multiple portions], which can divide this Pure Yang Treasure Pill into three parts. If you successfully refine it, you should be able to complete the cultivation cycle within thirty years, at which point you can attempt the Earth Soul Guidance [a technique to guide and anchor one's Earth Soul, a foundational spiritual aspect]."

As he spoke, Riverlord Chang transmitted this Pill Division Method to the four of them.

After a cultivator breaks through to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, their Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners] increases by fifty percent compared to the Nascent Soul, 8th Tier stage. Cultivating this additional fifty percent of Mana to perfection generally requires a very long period of time.

Among the four, Verdant Consort broke through to Nascent Soul the earliest, and her cultivation progress has been the swiftest. Her Mana has already been accumulated to perfection..

She is nearly ready to perform Earth Soul Guidance and no longer needs to accumulate Mana before attempting the breakthrough to Half-Step Primordial Spirit.

However, the other three have not yet reached a full Jiazi-time [a sixty-year cycle] since their breakthrough to Nascent Soul Great Perfection. To accumulate their Mana to perfection for Earth Soul Guidance would likely require the effort of approximately three Jiazi-time. This content originates from audi novel.com.

Now, with only around one hundred and fifty years remaining until the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a periodic, world-shaking calamity where demonic forces surge forth], they would likely struggle to even accumulate their Mana [the refined spiritual energy required for advancement] to its peak before that time, let alone contemplate the Earth Soul Guidance [a profound cultivation art for guiding and nurturing one's Earth Soul].

Now, with the aid of the Pill Division Method [an esoteric technique for safely dividing potent pills] and the Pure Yang Elixir [a supreme elixir of pure yang essence], although it requires consuming one precious Pure Yang Elixir, it allows the three of them to save three Jiazi-time [one Jiazi-time equals sixty years] of arduous cultivation.

Using a Sixth Rank Pure Yang Pill [a pill of the sixth rank, containing immense pure yang energy] on Nascent Soul Cultivators [cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul, the embryonic form of their immortal self] is, in truth, quite wasteful. However, with the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm imminent, achieving a breakthrough in cultivation realm as soon as possible is the paramount principle.

Eldrin Chen received the precious method and promptly bowed with solemn respect, saying, "This junior is eternally grateful for your grace in bestowing this technique, Senior. I will certainly find a way to repay this kindness in the future."

"Your intention is appreciated,"

Riverlord Chang smiled and then said, "Now, go and cultivate diligently."

The four of them took the Treasure Pill [a general term for a rare and valuable cultivation pill] and flew out from the Long River Sacred Land [the sacred land of the Long River lineage].

Midway on their journey, Eldrin Chen looked at the two Nascent Soul Pill [a pill that aids in the formation or strengthening of a cultivator's Nascent Soul] in his hand and inquired of Lyra Jiang and the others, "How should we distribute these Nascent Soul Pill?"

"For the four of us, the Nascent Soul Pill is actually of limited use."

Lila shook her head, a thoughtful glint in her eyes. "Within the clan now, the cultivators who might need a Nascent Soul Pill are likely Old Granduncle and Ethan."

Beside him, Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort both nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Among the four of them, Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang both possessed an Innate Great Luo Nascent Soul [a supreme-grade Nascent Soul foundation, signifying immense potential], granting them an already extremely high likelihood of successfully breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a major advancement].

Coupled with their supremely refined Mana [the cultivated spiritual power within a practitioner] and the feedback from their Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a sacred artifact of pure yang energy], their chances of a successful Primordial Spirit breakthrough soared to over ninety percent. The remaining sliver of risk for failure was not something a Nascent Soul Pill [an elixir that aids in forming or stabilizing the Nascent Soul] could remedy.

The same held true for Verdant Consort and Lila. Whether it was Verdant Consort's Verdant Lotus Immortal Embryo [a divine constitution akin to an immortal lotus seed] or Lila's Frost Soul Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul imbued with the essence of frost], both were foundations laid for Ascending to Immortality [the ultimate goal of transcending mortality to become an immortal].

While it couldn't be guaranteed they would definitely achieve Ascending to Immortality, they faced no significant bottlenecks in assailing the Primordial Spirit realm.

For them, the true cause for concern was actually the External Tribulation [a catastrophic trial of heavenly punishment that tests a cultivator's life and death]. Therefore, these four Nascent Soul Pill were of little practical use to them.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "For Old Granduncle to attempt a Primordial Spirit breakthrough, he will need at least another Millennium [a period of one thousand years]."

"Although Ethan possesses good talent, his cultivation resources cannot compare to ours. For him to cultivate to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a state just shy of the Primordial Spirit realm], I'm afraid he will also need to wait another Millennium. As for my disciples, there is even less need to mention them."

At this point, Verdant Consort spoke up, "Aside from the few within our clan, among those close to us, the ones who could attempt a Primordial Spirit breakthrough before the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a prophesied great calamity involving demonic forces] are none other than Yvonne the Violet Consort and Freya Ji."

"Violet Consort and Freya?"

Lyra Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, and she too nodded in agreement.

Freya Ji, blessed with the Profound Yin Constitution [a rare physique attuned to the profound and mysterious power of Yin] and receiving the full support of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a supreme cultivator who has formed their Nascent Soul and comprehended a Great Dao], cultivated with astonishing speed. By the age of one thousand five hundred years, she had already reached the Nascent Soul Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Nascent Soul realm].

Approximately one hundred years ago, with the backing of Dorian Ji, she successfully summoned her Earthly Soul [one of the three souls representing a cultivator's connection to the mortal world and fate]. Now hailed as the foremost among the Ten Great Immortal Maidens of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, she is considered one of the few most likely to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Lord realm.

Violet Consort was slightly younger than Freya Ji, but as a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root [the highest grade of innate talent for absorbing spiritual energy], her cultivation speed was even more breathtaking.

Thirty years prior, after consuming the Sixth Rank Ren Water Immortal Pear [a legendary spiritual fruit of the sixth rank, associated with the Ren Water element], Violet Consort had also summoned her Earthly Soul. She was now awaiting the opportune moment to summon her Heavenly Soul [the celestial soul, representing a cultivator's connection to the heavens and destiny].

Contemplating this, Lyra Jiang spoke, "Violet Consort inherited the legacy of the late Violet Cosmos, the Martial Uncle, which included a Nascent Soul Pill [a supreme elixir that greatly aids in forming the Nascent Soul] stored within the Central Ancestral Domain."

"As for Freya, we could consider reserving one Nascent Soul Pill for her." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio‑novel.com.

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, a smile gracing his lips. "The Ji Clan has shielded us time and again. It is only right we offer them something in return."

Lila also nodded decisively. "Then let us first journey to Dorian's Sacred Land."

Their decision made, the group immediately set off for the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

Aided by the Pure Yang Immortal Sword [a divine sword imbued with the pure essence of Yang], they could traverse ten million Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] in a single day. Coupled with the use of Teleportation Formations [magical arrays that allow instantaneous travel across vast distances] along their route, their arrival at Dorian's Sacred Land did not take long.

After arriving at Dorian's Sacred Land, Eldrin Chen sought out Dorian Ji and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

Upon hearing this, Dorian, the Sage Lord revealed a hint of a smile at the center of his brow and said, "Your thoughtfulness is appreciated."

He accepted the Nascent Soul Pill and then continued, "I had planned to journey to the Central Ancestral Domain soon to see if I could commission someone to procure a Nascent Soul Pill. Your aid here is most timely."

"Since this is the case, I shall not let you incur a loss."

As he spoke, Dorian Ji retrieved from his sleeve a deep, azure crystalline marrow that shimmered with profound light and offered it to them.

"This is..."

The moment he saw the object, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he inquired with some hesitation.

Dorian Ji nodded and began to explain in a measured tone, "This object is known as the 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade' [a supreme treasure born from the convergence of aquatic spiritual veins]. It is a peerless treasure nurtured within the depths of the Eastern Sea Water Vein Sea Eye."

"The grade of this particular piece is only Sixth Rank Low Grade, but it should be more than sufficient for Lyra to refine an External Incarnation Body [a separate physical vessel for housing a portion of one's soul and consciousness]."

As Dorian Ji elaborated, Eldrin Chen understood the origin of this treasure. The so-called 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade' is an exceedingly rare Sixth Rank Pure Yang Object [a spiritual material of the highest purity, imbued with the essence of unadulterated Yang energy] found within the world.

This object can only be nurtured within a Sixth Rank Water Essence Ancestral Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual land rich in water-attribute energy]. Its wondrous utility is no less than that of the 'Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Jade' [a legendary jade imbued with the power of thunder and dragon essence], making it the paramount Magical Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] for refining a Second Nascent Soul [a profound technique to create a second, independent spiritual avatar].

With Lyra Jiang's Lunar Immortal Physique [a rare and powerful innate constitution attuned to lunar and immortal energies], if she were to obtain this 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade' [a jade containing the primordial essence of a water vein], she could then use it to nurture myself's Second Primordial Embryo [the nascent form of a second spiritual avatar] all the way to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation], transforming it into a full-fledged Second Nascent Soul.

At that time, even if the combat prowess of Lyra Jiang's Second Nascent Soul does not match that of a Pure Yang Dao Lord [a supreme title for a master of the purest Yang energy], its strength would be no weaker than a newly ascended Primordial Spirit cultivator.
