Chapter 1061 : Secrets of the Dragon-Patterned Cauldron

With only the faintest traces of Law Power [the power to command and manipulate the fundamental laws of reality] it naturally emanated, the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron [an ancient cauldron forged from black gold and inscribed with dragon patterns] aided Eldrin Chen in refining the Counter-Scale [the unique, reverse-growing scale of a primordial dragon, possessing immense power] from the Primordial Desolation Dragon [an ancient dragon born from the essence of primordial desolation]. The cauldron's capabilities far surpassed Eldrin Chen's initial imaginings.

Had Eldrin Chen not repeatedly verified that no Treasure Spirit [the sentient consciousness or spirit that can inhabit a powerful magical artifact] resided within the cauldron, he might have mistaken it for a fully intact Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade, possessing world-shaking power].

"The origins of this Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron are likely far from simple," he mused.

With that thought settling, Eldrin Chen did not dwell on it further.

With a flick of his sleeve, he opened the lid of the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron and extracted from within a sphere of pure golden blood.

This was the last remnant of True Blood of the Primordial Desolate Dragon [the potent, essence-rich blood of the ancient Primordial Desolation Dragon] lingering within the Primordial Desolate Dragon Reverse Scale [the refined material from the dragon's unique scale], which Eldrin Chen had deliberately set aside.

Clasping the Counter-Scale's true blood in his palm, Eldrin Chen strode towards the secluded Cultivation Cave [a cave or chamber specially prepared for meditation and cultivation] where he found Lila in deep seclusion.

As he drew near, Eldrin Chen noticed the Counter-Scale blood in his hand erupting with a dazzling golden radiance. Within its depths, the faint silhouette of a Primordial Yellow Dragon Pattern [a manifestation resembling a primordial yellow dragon, symbolizing immense earth-aligned power] seemed to coil and writhe, accompanied by the resonant echoes of a Dragon's Roar [a powerful sonic attack or declaration of draconic might].

Simultaneously, from within Lila's womb, the unborn child seemed to sense the resonance, emitting a divine light the color of Dao Gold [a rare, spiritually attuned gold that resonates with the Dao, the fundamental principle of existence].

Eldrin Chen seemed to have anticipated this, giving a slight nod of acknowledgment.

He released his control, and the Counter-Scale [the unique, reverse-growing scale of a dragon, containing its primordial essence] True Blood transformed into an Xuanhuang [symbolizing the primordial chaos of heaven and earth] True Dragon before merging into Lila's womb.

As all radiance finally subsided and turned inward, Eldrin Chen felt a wave of reassurance settle within him. Nurtured within the womb by the Heavenly Dragon Relic, this child was already destined for peerless, heaven-defying talent.

Now, having consumed the Counter-Scale True Blood of the Primordial Desolation Dragon, the child's future physical resilience and innate resistance to various heterodox Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality and power in the cultivation world] would undoubtedly be astonishingly formidable.

"Husband."

Only then did Lyra Jiang approach. Witnessing the scene, she smiled and said, "This child's fortune is profound. They are sure to become a rare and exceptional seedling for immortality."

"Mmm."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement before speaking. "The child resonates perfectly with the Desolation Dragon's True Blood. Such a destiny was meant to be."

With this matter concluded for now, the group settled back into their usual rhythm of peaceful cultivation.

Not long after, the ancient herbs within the Spirit Medicine Garden began undergoing transformations on a large scale, prompting Eldrin Chen to commence the alchemical refinement of various Spirit Medicine.

Over the course of several centuries, he refined a total of eight furnaces of Immortal Herbs, yielding three furnaces of Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pills and five furnaces of Dragon-Phoenix Dao-Forging Pills.

From these batches, he obtained three Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pills and twenty-one Dragon-Phoenix Dao-Forging Pills.

Combined with his previous stockpile, Eldrin Chen now possessed a total of thirty-four Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pills.

Among them, the three High Grade Immortal Pills were, naturally, the Yin-Yang Supreme Ultimate Pills.

There were also three Mid-Grade Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pills, which were the Longevity Pills.

The Low-Grade Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pills were the most numerous, totaling twenty-eight, all of them being the Dragon-Phoenix Dao-Forging Pills.

The Dragon-Phoenix Dao-Forging Pill is a supreme Treasure Pill for cultivating an Immortal Physique [a transcendent physical form achieved through cultivation]. For Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body and Lyra Jiang's Lunar Immortal Physique, consuming these pills was the most effective method for rapid advancement.

Furthermore, if Lila and others consumed these Dragon-Phoenix Dao-Forging Pills, their chances of successfully forging an Immortal Physique would increase by approximately thirty percent.

However, Lila and the others had not yet Ascended to Immortality [broken through to the Immortal Realm]. Refining a single Dragon-Phoenix Dao-Forging Pill would require several Millennium of time. Moreover, this pill's potency is overwhelmingly fierce; a mortal can only refine one in their entire lifetime.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen temporarily withheld giving the pills to Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort. He planned to wait a while longer, gather more treasures for Forging Immortal Physique [the art of forging an Immortal Physique], and help them forge their Immortal Physique in one decisive effort.

"A full thirty-four Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [a legendary pill that aids in the nurturing of an immortal fetus]. These should be more than sufficient to procure suitable nurturing treasures at the upcoming Barter Convention [a grand gathering where cultivators trade rare and precious resources]."

Gazing at the pills in his hand, Eldrin Chen let out a soft, contemplative sigh, a wave of relief washing over him. He then stepped out from his Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for undisturbed cultivation and meditation].

The moment he emerged from the Alchemy Chamber [a chamber dedicated to the art of pill refinement], he found Lyra Jiang waiting for him, her face alight with joy. "Husband," she exclaimed, "Lila is about to give birth!"

"Truly?"

Eldrin Chen's expression erupted into unrestrained elation. Without a moment's delay, he soared towards the Cultivation Cave [a personal sanctum for cultivation, often carved into a mountain or cliffside].

Over these past several centuries, much of his time had been spent in secluded Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual energy into potent pills and elixirs]. Unbeknownst to him, the time had come for Lila and the other two consorts, including Yvonne the Violet Consort, to enter their final stages of pregnancy.

With the imminent arrival of his first child, a surge of profound excitement filled Eldrin Chen's heart. He arrived swiftly before the entrance of the Cultivation Cave.

From within the cave, a brilliant golden radiance spilled forth, and the faint, majestic echo of a Dragon's Roar [a powerful sonic technique or manifestation of draconic power] resonated through the heavens and earth. The child within Lila's womb was on the very cusp of entering the world.

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator [a cultivator who has condensed their spiritual essence into a nascent soul, a major milestone] of profound Mana [spiritual power and cultivation base], her physical form had been nourished by this power for thousands upon thousands of years. In principle, childbirth should not be overly painful for one of her stature.

However, Lila's Unborn Child was a true Immortal Infant [a child born with the innate potential and blessings of an immortal]. This infant, born of an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and ascended to a higher state of existence], possessed inherently exalted talent and latent potential from the moment of conception.

Especially since the child within her could not yet fully control its own innate power, the labor was naturally excruciatingly painful.

At this moment, Eldrin Chen was filled with anxiety. He could only channel his life-giving Immortal Essence [the purest form of life energy cultivated by immortals] into the Cultivation Cave, continuously soothing Lila's agony.

"Waaah—"

After what felt like an eternity, the sound of an infant's cry suddenly echoed from within the Cultivation Cave.

Eldrin Chen immediately pushed the door open and entered. He saw Lila lying there, utterly drained. He hurried forward and took her hand.

"My lady, you have suffered greatly."

Pale-faced, Lila picked up their child and handed the infant to Eldrin Chen, saying, "This is our child."

Eldrin Chen took the infant. It was a baby of exquisite, almost sculpted beauty, with skin like polished jade.

The child's features bore a three-part resemblance to his own. Its tiny form was wreathed in the gentle glow of Merit Buddha Light [a radiant aura born of accumulated virtuous deeds and karma], yet within that light, there also lingered an air of unyielding righteousness and a hint of sharp, domineering intent.

Upon the child's body coiled a Primordial Yellow Dragon Pattern [a congenital mark resembling a True Dragon], each scale and line of the dragon motif pulsating with profound and unfathomable mystery.

"This child is born with Immortal Bones [a legendary physique signifying supreme cultivation potential], and his fleshly body bears the semblance of being impervious to all arts. His future achievements may well be boundless."

"Moreover, this is..."

Eldrin Chen's words trailed off slightly. Gazing at the dragon patterns on the infant, he performed a brief divination, and his eyes narrowed a fraction.

These dragon patterns are named the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Mantra [a supreme divine ability manifesting as a celestial dragon of immense power], an innate Lifebound Divine Ability of this Immortal Infant. Once activated, it can transform into a Great Power Heavenly Dragon to suppress Demonic Monsters, representing an incomparably fierce and domineering Supreme Divine Abilities.

Seeing this, Lila voiced her concern, "This child has refined the Heavenly Dragon Relic and is born with the Merit Buddha Light [a radiant aura signifying immense accumulated virtue and karmic merit]. His temperament will likely be similarly unyielding and righteous. I fear he may tread the same path as the Heavenly Dragon of old."

"That Heavenly Dragon..."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly. In the past, the Heavenly Dragon Buddha chose to end his own life outside the gates of the Empty Enlightenment Temple rather than return with the Dragon Clan Elder Ancestors, a testament to the sheer rigidity and unyielding nature of his convictions.

This child before them, having refined the Heavenly Dragon Relic, seemed to have inherited Eldrin Chen's sharp, decisive character while also embodying a measure of the Heavenly Dragon Buddha's unwavering integrity.

That alone might be manageable. The most critical issue, however, was that this child was destined to face a great tribulation in the future—a complication that could prove troublesome.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen's expression grew solemn. After a long silence, he spoke, "Set your heart at ease. Should the heavens themselves fall, your husband will be there to hold them up."

"Very well."

With those words, Lila set aside her worries. She looked at the child and asked, "What name shall we give this child?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, then looked down at the child in his arms and said, "Our Chen Clan follows the Sixteen-Generation Hierarchy: Eternal Pursuit of the Dao, Reflect on Virtue and Ancestors, Mutual Support to Prosper the Clan, Ascend to Immortal Eternity."

"This child is my firstborn son. He shall be named Xander Chen." This content originates from *audio-novel.com*. Please respect copyright.
