Chapter 952 : The Stellar Core's Oath

"The Nine Heavens Star Core [a legendary core of condensed stellar essence, said to contain the power of nine celestial heavens]."

The Master of Stellar Palace [the supreme leader of the celestial Stellar Palace] showed a flicker of hesitation on his face, then nodded after a moment. "Eradicating the Black Lotus [a malevolent artifact of profound darkness and corruption] is a matter of utmost importance for the entire Purple Seal Realm [a vast and ancient cultivation world]. Our Stellar Palace [a celestial organization dedicated to the study of stars and heavenly bodies] will naturally contribute our share of strength."

"I shall retrieve the Nine Heavens Star Core immediately to lend you my aid."

Having obtained the Nine Heavens Star Core from the Master of Stellar Palace, Eldrin Chen did not linger.

He cast a single glance at the gradually dissipating Tribulation Cloud [a dense, ominous cloud formation heralding a heavenly tribulation] above the Heavenly Vault [the highest, most sacred part of the sky], then declared, "In thirty years, I shall move to suppress the Second Primordial Spirit [a powerful, independent spiritual avatar cultivated by high-level beings] of the Outer Realm Demon God [a malevolent deity from a realm beyond the known world]."

"I pray that by then, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Grand Formation [a legendary celestial formation harnessing the power of the seven stars of the Big Dipper] will have been restored to the mortal plane, to aid me in subduing the Demon God's Second Primordial Spirit."

The Master of Stellar Palace nodded, his expression grave. "Set your mind at ease. Thirty years, though somewhat rushed, will be sufficient."

"..."

After bidding farewell to the Master of Stellar Palace, Eldrin Chen journeyed directly towards the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a vast, perpetually burning sea of mystical flames].

Upon his return to the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, he immediately descended into the Underground Fire Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated spiritual fire energy] and retrieved numerous Primordial Solar Spiritual Object [rare treasures imbued with the pure, ancient essence of the primordial sun]. Published by @udio-novel.com. All rights reserved.

These Primordial Solar Spiritual Objects [objects imbued with the concentrated essence of the primordial sun] contained one Sixth Rank Void Gem [a gemstone of the sixth rank that holds the power of the void], seven Nine Heavens Star Cores [the crystallized cores of stars from the highest heavens], one stalk of Sixth Rank Primordial Solar Spirit Wood [spirit wood of the sixth rank, saturated with primordial solar energy], and in addition, a massive piece of Stellar Treasure Gold [a legendary metal forged from the heart of a fallen star].

The value of these Primordial Solar Spiritual Objects was truly extraordinary. They were treasures the Chen Clan had painstakingly gathered over many years, all in preparation for forging a Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure designed to observe and calculate celestial phenomena].

In total, there were ten pieces of Primordial Solar Spiritual Objects, their combined worth sufficient to forge ten Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasures [magical treasures powered by primordial solar essence].

The Stellar Treasure Gold was particularly precious, a rare Sixth Rank Superior Grade [the highest quality tier within the sixth rank] Primordial Solar Immortal Gold [a mythical gold alloyed with primordial solar power]. It was even potent enough to be forged into a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure of primordial solar essence], a testament to the immense resources the Chen Clan had poured into assembling this collection.

"With these ten Spiritual Objects [objects of concentrated spiritual power] in hand, it should be possible to forge the Star Observation Tower [a tower for observing the stars and celestial patterns]," Eldrin Chen murmured to himself.

Without further delay, Eldrin Chen began the intricate process of crafting the Celestial Mechanism Spiritual Treasure.

Most Primordial Solar Spiritual Objects possessed an Immortality [a property of extreme durability and resistance to decay]-like resilience, making their refinement a laborious and time-consuming task.

Fortunately, the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame [a heavenly flame born from the primordial sun] that Eldrin Chen now commanded had comprehended the illusory Path Principles [the fundamental laws that govern reality and cultivation]. Its might far surpassed the limits of the Mortal Realm [the plane of ordinary existence], and before long, he had successfully refined all the various Spiritual Objects.

Having refined the materials, he used the seven Nine Heavens Star Cores to manifest the pattern of the Big Dipper [the constellation of the Great Bear or Plough]. With the Void Gem, he carved out a pocket of Cosmos [the boundless universe]-void space.

Finally, he used the Sixth Rank Primordial Solar Spirit Wood to forge the main body of the Star Observation Tower, thus completing the initial, embryonic form of the treasure.

Not long after, Eldrin Chen further refined the Star Observation Platform into a Top Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure-grade 'Celestial Mechanism Supreme Treasure' using Stellar Treasure Gold.

He then fused the 'Star Observation Platform' and the 'Heaven Deduction Tome' into the Star Observation Tower, thus completing the initial forging of this supreme Celestial Mechanism Supreme Treasure.

After the supreme treasure was forged, Eldrin Chen caressed it lovingly, unable to put it down, a look of delight spreading across his face.

This Celestial Mechanism Supreme Treasure could be considered peerless under the heavens. Whether it was the Star Observation Tower, the Star Observation Platform, or the Heaven Deduction Tome, each was among the most renowned Celestial Mechanism Supreme Treasure in existence.

All three treasures had reached the lofty grade of Sixth Rank Superior Grade, and were virtually indistinguishable in their mastery of the Way of Celestial Mechanism. Even the Heavenly Pattern Armor of the Lord of the Path Palace likely paled in comparison.

Within the entire Purple Seal Realm, only the Heaven Observation Mirror possessed by the Heavenly Path Observer Path Master could claim a slight superiority.

Now, by fusing the three treasures into one, allowing their Dao patterns to intertwine and merge, Eldrin Chen had created a vessel whose mastery of the Way of Celestial Mechanism was likely no weaker than the Heaven Observation Mirror itself.

"The supreme treasure is complete," he murmured. "Once the Heaven Observation Mirror and the Heavenly Pattern Armor are integrated, it should be sufficient to deduce the location of the Black Lotus."

Eldrin Chen whispered to himself, then gazed at the small, starry pavilion shimmering in his hand. "Since you were forged from the fusion of multiple Spiritual Treasure, you shall be named the Celestial Mechanism Tower."

Stowing the supreme treasure away, Eldrin Chen realized that this session of secluded cultivation had lasted a mere ten years.

This outcome somewhat exceeded his expectations. He had originally estimated it would take him over twenty years to master, yet this time he had succeeded in merely ten.

"It seems I still underestimated the potency of the Demigod Path Principles,"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Emerging from his secluded cultivation, he sought out Ethan Chen and declared, "I intend to move against the Second Primordial Spirit of the Outer Realm Demon God. Go and inform the Master of Seven Treasures Gourd. Tell them I will await them in the Eastern Sea."

"Your nephew obeys!"

Ethan Chen clasped his hands in acknowledgment and promptly withdrew. Dive deeper into the Dao at audio_novel.com.

As Ethan Chen departed, Eldrin Chen summoned his Dao-companions and Eternal Profound Chen and the others. Soon, Exquisite Jiang and the rest arrived within the Great Hall.

Upon seeing Exquisite Jiang, Eldrin Chen could not contain his surprise and asked eagerly, "You succeeded?"

"I would say the mission was not a failure,"

Exquisite Jiang nodded. A surge of mana, unified and whole as the Primordial One, emanated from her, and a look of quiet confidence settled upon her features.

Long before her breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] realm, she had already comprehended four distinct Arcane Power [profound supernatural abilities], including 'Samadhi True Flame' and 'Great Encompassing Immortal Metal'.

After that, her progress stalled at the fifth Arcane Power, and nearly two thousand years slipped by in the blink of an eye.

During those two millennia, her primary focus had been on contemplating that fifth Arcane Power. She had also refined several Path Hearing Blossom [a mystical flower that aids in comprehending the Dao], accumulating a profound foundation.

Furthermore, with the recent re-maturation of the Path Hearing Blossom, Exquisite Jiang entered seclusion once more for three hundred years. She finally seized the opportunity, succeeding in a single stroke to comprehend the fifth supreme magical power.

With the crucial barrier of five supreme magical powers broken, her advancement flowed as naturally as water finding its course. She achieved the state of Primordial One [the fundamental unity of all things] and cultivated the corresponding Primordial One Magical Power [magical power embodying primordial unity].

Seizing the momentum from this breakthrough, she fully refined the supreme treasure 'Five-Colored Divine Marrow' [divine marrow containing the essence of the five elements] from the Ancient Immortal Ruins. This allowed her to cultivate the Five-Colored Divine Light [Divine Light of the Five Elements] to its perfected, grand completion.

Upon reaching perfection, the Five-Colored Divine Light possessed the power to capture and subdue all things without exception.

Whether it was a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact of supreme solar power] or a Primordial Spirit Demons [a demon whose power rivals a Primordial Spirit cultivator], as long as it existed within the framework of the world's five elements, Exquisite Jiang could suppress and capture it with a mere flick of her sleeve.

It could be said that in the mastery of this Divine Ability [supernatural ability], Exquisite Jiang's attainment had now surpassed that of Eldrin Chen, reaching a pinnacle few in the world could match.

"Excellent! Truly excellent!"

Witnessing Exquisite Jiang manifest the Primordial One Magical Power [the foundational, supreme energy of creation], Eldrin Chen could not contain his excitement, exclaiming "Excellent!" three times in a row.

After cultivating the Primordial One Arcane Power [the refined, potent energy derived from the Primordial One], Exquisite Jiang's spiritual power had undergone a staggering qualitative transformation. Not only did her power now surpass that of the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier, but the might of all her Divine Ability [supernatural techniques and powers] was also multiplied in her hands.

Furthermore, with the Five-Colored Divine Light [a supreme defensive and offensive technique of five elemental radiances] as her foundation, having reached the Great Perfection Realm, her combat prowess now even exceeded that of a Demigod Patriarch. She had become the second most powerful existence within the Purple Seal Realm, surpassed only by Eldrin Chen himself.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen said with a smile, "Now that your foundation is complete, our chances against the Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world] have increased by another measure."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the others, and he noticed their considerable gains as well.

Lila, Nyssa Qu, and Verdant Consort had all broken through to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage. Only Violet Consort Yan had a slightly weaker foundation; it seemed her attempt to charge into the Primordial Spirit Late Stage had failed.

Eternal Profound Chen had also made significant progress, having unknowingly cultivated to the Primordial Spirit 6th Tier.

This, however, was within expectations. Although Old Granduncle's foundation and talent were merely average, he cultivated the Ascendant Immortal Vein-Forging Art [a profound art for forging immortal-grade spiritual meridians]. His Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a high-level cultivator] had long since merged with the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a domain of eternal, purgatorial flames].

Now, the grade of the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire had surged dramatically, reaching the level of Near-Immortal Rank. With this feedback, Eternal Profound Chen's power would advance by leaps and bounds even if he did not actively cultivate.

Yet, while such progress appeared swift on the surface, it harbored significant hidden dangers in truth. Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel dot com.
