Chapter 1095 : The Supreme Immortal Legacy
Speaking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
Supreme Yang Immortal Gold is a supreme-grade immortal metal, its rarity and value rivaling even that of Dragon-Patterned Black Gold. Even a small amount of Refined Supreme Gold is exceedingly precious.
The value of a Supreme Grade Immortal Root is even more staggering, for such an Immortal Root represents the pinnacle of Acquired Spiritual Root and is the supreme treasure for forging a Fourth Grade Heaven's Pillar [a foundational pillar for an Earth Immortal's grotto-heaven].
Its worth surpasses that of a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure by several times, making it truly too difficult to find. Therefore, most Earth Immortal [immortals anchored to the mortal world] use a Fourth Grade Heaven's Pillar forged from merely a High Grade Immortal Root when they make their breakthrough.
Though Eldrin Chen has been Ascending to Immortality [cultivating towards immortality] for several Millennium, he has never once laid eyes on a Supreme Grade Immortal Root, which speaks volumes about the rarity of such an Immortal Root.
Seeing that replicating the treasure was impossible, Zenyu the Prison-Keeper spoke up.
"Since we cannot obtain Taiyi Golden Foil Paper, nor do we have Scripture Transmission Paper [special paper for recording profound techniques] of Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure grade, let us divide these seven volumes of Immortal Scripture among ourselves."
"It seems we have no other choice."
Eldrin Chen nodded and picked up the seven volumes of Supreme Grade Immortal Scripture to examine them.
These seven volumes of Immortal Scripture were all foundational legacies of the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect, with three of them being Cultivation Art [esoteric methods for cultivation and enlightenment]. Experience the full epic at https://audio-novel.com.
These three volumes of the Immortal Scripture were respectively titled the Supreme Yin Soul Refining Art, the Solar Body Forging Art, and the Yin-Yang Supreme Void Scripture.
After perusing them, Eldrin Chen could not help but praise, "The three Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have ascended halfway to the Earth Immortal realm] of the Yin-Yang Abode of Bliss truly possess extraordinary talent and insight."
"Indeed," Zenyu the Prison-Keeper nodded in agreement before speaking, "This Pure Yang Body Refining Scripture possesses quite unique and profound aspects."
It turned out these three methods each represented a distinct path to achieving the Earth Immortal [a terrestrial immortal, a powerful and long-lived cultivator] realm.
The soul-refining method of Darian focused on cultivating the Divine Soul [the divine aspect of a cultivator's spirit] and the Dao Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation, representing profound enlightenment]. It could coalesce Lunar Essence Power, forge a single Immortal Embryo Dao Fruit [a nascent immortal embryo within one's Dao Fruit], and ultimately enable the Dao Fruit to transcend the Ascension to Immortality Limit [the boundary limiting ascension to immortality], thereby offering a glimpse into the Earth Immortal Realm.
This method could assist cultivators in refining their Divine Soul, making it exceedingly profound. Furthermore, it documented the crafting methods for one supreme-grade Immortal Rank Divine Abilities [divine abilities at the immortal rank] and one Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade].
This Divine Ability was named 'Lunar Soul-Seizing Divine Light'. It could capture the Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit [the foundational spiritual core of a being] of Immortal [immortal beings], making it an Immortal Rank Divine Abilities specifically designed to counter a cultivator's Divine Soul.
The Immortal Treasure was named 'Lunar Soul-Seizing Bell'. It was said to specifically counter a cultivator's Primordial Spirit and Divine Soul, also being an immensely powerful Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure.
"Legends say that the Patriarch Lunar of the ancient Yin-Yang Immortal Sect was also a figure of stunning talent and brilliance."
"Back when he broke through to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm, wielding the Lunar Soul-Seizing Divine Light and the Lunar Soul-Seizing Bell, even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a founding ancestor among Earth Immortals] would have had to treat him with serious regard."
Gazing upon that scroll of the Immortal Scripture, Zenyu the Prison-Keeper spoke with a detached tone, then sighed moments later, "A pity that, in order to protect Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor, I perished at the hands of that one. Otherwise, I should have broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an immortal bound to the earth, a powerful stage of cultivation]."
Upon hearing this, Supreme Yin [the ultimate principle of Yin, representing darkness, cold, and passivity] Lian nodded slightly. That Supreme Yin Soul Refining Art could indeed be considered a Supreme Grade Immortal Scripture [a cultivation scripture of the highest possible grade].
Even if one only mastered the 'Lunar Soul-Seizing Divine Light', it would be sufficient to rely upon it to roam the heavens and earth unhindered.
If one also possessed the Darian Soul-Snaring Bell, its might would be truly awe-inspiring.
Imagine it: simply lifting the 'Lunar Soul-Seizing Bell' and giving it a gentle shake would cause an ordinary Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] to have their Divine Soul [the immortal-grade spiritual core, more refined than a Primordial Spirit] leave their body. Then, capturing it with the 'Lunar Soul-Seizing Divine Light', one could easily subdue them.
"The Five Elements Divine Light can absorb things of the five elements, but the Lunar Soul-Seizing Divine Light specifically counters the Divine Soul. Against an Immortal Embryo [a rare constitution with the potential for supreme immortality] Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, formed at the Nascent Soul realm], it is even more effective than the Five Elements Divine Light. If there is leisure in the future, it would be worthwhile to cultivate it."
"A pity that after Patriarch Darian fell, the Lunar Soul-Seizing Bell fell into the hands of others. To forge it anew would likely be difficult."
Unlike the 'Supreme Yin Soul Refining Art', the 'Solar Body Forging Art' is a method of Fleshly Body Sanctification [the art of refining and strengthening the physical body to an immortal level].
This art draws upon the power of Supreme Yang [the ultimate principle of Yang, representing light, heat, and activity] to temper the fleshly body. It requires three hundred and eighty-four thousand years of cultivation to complete. Once mastered, it can surpass the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the final mortal realm before ascending to true immortality] and forge the 'Post-Heaven Solar Divine Body'.
The 'Solar Divine Body' is similar to Lyra Jiang's Lunar Immortal Physique, being one of the supreme-tier Immortal Physique [a rare and powerful innate physical constitution suited for immortal cultivation].
That divine constitution is exceedingly domineering; once cultivated, it is like a miniature sun traversing the heavens, possessing the most terrifying power of annihilation.
In ancient times, Patriarch Solar cultivated the Solar Divine Body [a supreme divine physique aligned with the essence of the sun]. In the path of physical cultivation, he had even reached the very limit of a minor achievement Immortal Physique [a body tempered to an immortal level], surpassing that boundary to advance one step further.
Furthermore, this cultivation manual also records a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal rank]. This treasure is named the Solar Divine Pagoda [a divine pagoda embodying solar power].
It is said that the Supreme Yang Ancient Ancestor [the Ancient Ancestor of Supreme Yang], after refining the Solar Divine Pagoda, used it to suppress peerless foes, refine world-ending great demons, and even withstand assaults from an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a progenitor who has attained the Earth Immortal realm].
Logically, Patriarch Solar, possessing both the 『『『Solar Divine Body|Constitution Names|new』』』 and the Solar Divine Pagoda, held the potential to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of Earth Immortals].
Yet, in order to protect the path of the Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor, he ultimately fell at the hands of that One-Tribulation Immortal [an immortal who has survived one heavenly tribulation]. Support the author by reading on audio-novel . com.
Thinking of this, Supreme Yin [the Divine Ability of Supreme Yin] could not help but take a deep breath and said, "Both Patriarch Solar and Patriarch Lunar were individuals with the hope of reaching Earth Immortal [the Earth Immortal realm]. Who could have imagined they would both fall during the great calamity."
"Is that great calamity truly so terrifying?"
Upon hearing this, Zenyu the Prison-Keeper's expression remained unchanged.
He seemed to know something, pondering for a moment before speaking: "A One-Tribulation Earth Immortal is an exceedingly rare sight across the ages. Within the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, a vast and profound oceanic realm], there are only a handful. Their achievement is naturally incomparably difficult."
"Moreover..."
Zenyu the Prison-Keeper paused, then shook his head after a moment and said, "What Yin-Yang Ancient Ancestor said on his deathbed was not wrong."
"The Immortals [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality] point the way, the Great Luo [the highest celestial realm] contends for the Dao [the fundamental principle or path], and the seats of Sagehood are without number."
"Both the Supreme Yin [the ultimate principle of darkness, passivity, and the feminine] and the Supreme Yang [the ultimate principle of light, activity, and the masculine] are supreme Great Daos [the fundamental cosmic laws], and the Immortals who walk these paths are beyond counting."
"However, the authority over the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental cosmic laws and principles] of Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang is not limitless. The more you claim for yourself, the less remains for others."
Zenyu the Prison-Keeper seemed to possess an extraordinary origin, with a background so profound that his knowledge of cultivation mysteries far surpassed what Darian could compare to.
As Zenyu the Prison-Keeper narrated in detail, Supreme Yin gained, for the first time, a true understanding of the hidden secrets of cultivation within the Immortal Realm [the realm of the immortals], and gradually revealed an expression of incomparable gravity.
It turned out that Immortals, while Comprehending Laws [the art of understanding and internalizing cosmic laws] and wielding Law Power [the power derived from cosmic laws], were also fated to contend with one another.
Leaving aside the countless seats of Sagehood ordained by the Heavenly Dao [the way of heaven, the natural order], merely to cultivate a single Great Dao's Laws of the Dao to its ultimate end was destined to involve terrifying contention.
And what the multitude of Immortals contended for was naturally the power of authority over these Great Dao's Laws of the Dao.
Eight thousand Minor Daos [the lesser, more specific paths of cultivation and cosmic law], each a potential path to Sagehood. Yet, if a young Eldrin Chen wishes to advance even further, he must gradually bring the Minor Dao he cultivates under his own dominion.
For instance, those who cultivate the Supreme Yang [the ultimate principle of pure, active, masculine cosmic energy] Minor Dao are not few. Yet, for a single Solar Immortal Lord [a title for an immortal lord who has mastered solar or supreme yang principles] to ascend further, he must gather the authority over the Supreme Yang Minor Dao into his own grasp.
And for other young Eldrin Chens, if the Minor Daos they primarily cultivate are all seized and controlled by others, whether their own cultivation path can continue rests upon the whim of those others.
In the contention over Minor Daos, there is no path of retreat.
Either abandon the authority to command the Minor Dao and turn to cultivate other Daos and Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles and rules that govern a specific Dao or path], or be forced to fight the other to the death.
"Eight thousand Minor Daos, billions upon billions of Laws of the Dao."
"The path of Supreme Yin [the ultimate principle of pure, receptive, feminine cosmic energy] and Supreme Yang is indeed a path of supreme power, yet the Immortals [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] who walk it are exceedingly rare."
Zenyu the Prison-Keeper spoke methodically, then after a long moment shook his head and said, "The Supreme Yin Ancient Ancestor and the Supreme Yang Ancient Ancestor indeed possessed talent that could startle immortals, yet they trod a path they should not have taken."
