Chapter 1111 : The Primordial Light of Ascension

"So that is how it is."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then could not help but inquire, "And what, pray tell, is this opportunity you speak of for advancing one's Innate Spiritual Root?"

"Naturally, it is the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light."

Purifying Bamboo spoke calmly, a thoughtful expression crossing its features. "Legend holds that when a Great Luo Golden Immortal carves an immortal realm from the primordial chaos, the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light can be born."

"That boundless Primordial Chaos is infinite and shoreless, with countless great worlds rising and falling within it. New Great Thousand Universe are born there from time to time, and within them, one may also seek out the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light."

At this point, Purifying Bamboo spoke with profound longing. "I am a Purifying Bamboo born in the later heavens. If I could obtain a single wisp of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light, I could transform into the legendary Six Senses Serene Bamboo."

"And if I could merge with seven times seven—that is, forty-nine—strands of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light, I could even undergo a metamorphosis into the fabled 'Innate Bitter Bamboo'."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

The Bitter Bamboo was not only a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root, but also one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. Even within the vast Three Thousand Immortal Domains, it was considered a rare and supreme treasure, something even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might yearn for yet never obtain—such was its preciousness.

Mentioning this, the Purifying Bamboo sighed and continued, "Of course, as a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, I am in a state of perpetual growth. It is for this reason that I can merge with the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light." Read the full novel exclusively on (audio-novel.com).

"If we were to assume human form, then attempting to metamorphose into an Innate Spiritual Root would become an immensely arduous endeavor."

"To my knowledge, aside from the legendary Primordial Chaos supreme treasure, the 'Primordial Chaos Cauldron', there exists no other artifact capable of reversing the natural order to bestow an Innate Spiritual Root state."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of understanding. Now he comprehended why utilizing Primordial Essence to elevate one's Spiritual Root [the foundational spiritual aptitude of a cultivator], or employing it on nascent quasi-Immortal Herbs or quasi-Immortal Metals, was almost always successful.

Yet, using it directly to elevate a Spiritual Treasure [an enchanted artifact] or an Immortal Treasure [a supreme artifact of immortal grade] was far more troublesome. Even for promoting a Lifebound Immortal Treasure [an immortal-grade treasure bound to its user's life force], it could only be used to shatter constraints; it could not substitute for the required Immortal Metals or Lifebound Formation Runes [the foundational magical runes that bind a treasure to its wielder].

However, recalling the mention of the Primordial Chaos Cauldron, Eldrin Chen could not help but ask with astonishment, "Could it be that within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, a Primordial Chaos supreme treasure like the Primordial Chaos Cauldron truly exists?"

"This..."

The Purifying Bamboo [a sentient spiritual bamboo plant] hesitated slightly. It had only heard its elders speak of the wondrous uses of the Primordial Chaos Cauldron and actually knew very little about it.

Now, questioned by Eldrin Chen, it found itself momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

"Naturally, it exists."

Just at that moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from nearby.

Eldrin Chen looked up and saw an elder clad in an Azure Robe striding towards him. The newcomer gazed at him quietly for a moment, then gave a slight nod.

"Eight million years ago, the Purple Immortal Lord was born holding the Primordial Chaos Cauldron. In a mere few million years, he cultivated to the realm of a Great Luo Immortal Lord, coming within A Step Away of the Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage Realm."

"Alas, the Primordial Chaos Cauldron was far too precious. For its sake, he drew upon himself a boundless calamity that swept across the Three Thousand Immortal Domains."

Eldrin Chen's heart quaked with profound shock. He swiftly gathered his composure and bowed respectfully. "I pay my respects to the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor."

"Hmm."

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor gave another nod, his gaze resting calmly upon Eldrin Chen. "In her letter, Glaze wrote that you are a man bearing immense destiny [great fortune and fate]. Seeing you now, her words indeed ring true."

"While supreme treasures are precious, carrying with them fortune that borders on the boundless, without sufficient strength to anchor that destiny, they may well become a path to one's doom."

Eldrin Chen felt another tremor in his heart, sensing a deeper meaning behind the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's words. He bowed once more. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

"Merely words spoken from the heart. Do not take them too seriously."

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor shook his head lightly. With a casual flick of his sleeve, mountains shifted and Ronan's course was altered. A myriad of spiritual lights enveloped the vast sea area, isolating the few of them from the outside world.

After this step, seeing Eldrin Chen's evident tension, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor spoke with a reassuring smile, "Although this old man and the girl Glaze are not the closest of confidants, we share a friendship spanning tens of millions of years. You need not worry overmuch."

"I understand,"

Eldrin Chen nodded. As he studied Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor now, an inexplicable pressure filled his heart.

In recent years, Eldrin Chen had fully refined the Yin-Yang Dual Pole Pearl and was confident that even facing a Half-Step Earth Immortal, he possessed sufficient power to protect himself.

Yet, standing before Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor now, Eldrin Chen felt myself as insignificant as an ant.

Merely by standing there, the vast and boundless Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by immortals] within the present Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor resembled an endless sea of stars. Should it erupt, it would likely be enough to annihilate an entire starry Ronan. Dive deeper into the Dao at http://www . audio-novel.com.

"A single strand of hair could cleave a Great Thousand World [a major world within the cosmic hierarchy],"

Eldrin Chen murmured, unable to suppress a look of awe.

This Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor had taken human form over sixty million years ago. He ranked among the top thirty Earth Immortal Progenitor [a supreme Earth Immortal who has founded a lineage] within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, and behind him stood the backing of a Calamity Ancient Immortal [an Ancient Immortal who has survived great cosmic tribulations].

Such a supremely powerful existence, once he broke through to the Heaven Immortal Realm, would likely rank as a formidable power even among Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm].

"That Divine Lord Ye Ruins has weathered five Dao Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial that tests a cultivator's comprehension of the Dao and their very existence], and is considered one of the most likely beings within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea to achieve the Heaven Immortal [the pinnacle of immortal ascension, transcending the mortal realm]."

"Now it seems, this Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor is the one who truly possesses the bearing of a supreme power."

Eldrin Chen could scarcely conceal his astonishment, quickly cupping his hands in salute. "This junior has come for the Enlightenment Tea Tree [a legendary spiritual tree whose leaves can grant profound insights and clarity of mind]."

"This old man understands."

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor nodded, his expression serene. "The Enlightenment Tea Tree can be yours. However, you must agree to one condition."

"A condition?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of hesitation crossing his features. "May this junior inquire as to what task the venerable senior requires?"

"Serene Child."

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor did not answer immediately. Instead, he called out to the Purifying Bamboo [a spiritual bamboo known for its ability to cleanse impurities and calm the spirit] beside him.

The Purifying Bamboo trembled faintly, releasing a shimmering spiritual light that coalesced into the form of a small child. "Serene Child pays his respects to the Ancient Ancestor."

Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor nodded, looking at Eldrin Chen and saying, "This Purifying Bamboo has a connection with you. Would you be willing to accept him as your disciple?"

Eldrin Chen's expression shifted slightly, for accepting a disciple carries immense karmic ties [the cause-and-effect consequences of one's actions in cultivation].

Moreover, within the Immortal Realm, there exists a Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-altering calamity] of profound entanglement. Generally speaking, unless absolutely necessary, most Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] do not lightly take on disciples.

Eldrin Chen was the same; in accepting disciples, he had always preferred quality over quantity.

Throughout his cultivation journey to this day, his Personal Disciple numbered only two: Sylas Ye and Alistair Lu.

Beyond that, during the salvation of the Void Realm, witnessing the realm face an annihilating catastrophe and its cultivation lineages be lost by ninety-nine percent,

he was moved by a surge of compassion and, in one breath, accepted seven nominal disciples, imparting to them a portion of myself's own Dao lineage [a master's unique path and teachings of cultivation].

Now, Eldrin Chen no longer accepted disciples lightly. For Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor to mention this now, proposing that the Purifying Bamboo become his disciple, came as a great surprise.

Seeing Eldrin Chen's puzzlement, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor sighed and explained, "This Purifying Bamboo has an extraordinary origin. He is the descendant of my old friend's 'Six Paths Bamboo' [a legendary bamboo embodying the cycle of rebirth]."

"In those years, my old friend encountered a Great Tribulation, and only this single immortal bamboo descendant survived, yet the lingering tribulation's shadow still clings to him."

Speaking to this point, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor spoke with serene detachment, "I perceive you carry a great destiny upon your shoulders, one that can obscure the divinations of mighty beings and can offer him shelter and safety."

"This..." Continue reading this story at audio-novel`com.
