Chapter 1119 : The Three Enclosures Grand Formation

Having spoken thus far, Eldrin Chen spoke once more, "Henceforth, let this Crimson Flame Island be renamed Heavenly Market Island."

"Agreed."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in assent. The Three Enclosures Grand Formation was founded upon the Three Enclosures [the three celestial enclosures in Chinese astronomy], corresponding precisely to the Supreme Tenuity Enclosure, the Purple Tenuity Enclosure, and the Celestial Market Enclosure. Naming the three islands after these enclosures was indeed more fitting.

Thus, after some deliberation, they renamed Green Chariot Island as Purple Tenuity Island. The main peak on Purple Tenuity Island, the Verdant Chariot Mountain, however, retained its original name.

Once this matter was settled, Eldrin Chen journeyed to the Celestial Sand Sea Region. Deep within that sea, he located a Spirit Island [an island rich in spiritual energy] and transplanted the Eight Trigrams Treasure Tree there.

After nurturing it for over three hundred years in this manner, the Immortal Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy ley line] of the Supreme Tenuity Enclosure had fully taken shape.

Using this as his foundation and the Vajra Buddha's Alms Bowl as the Formation Tool [the core artifact powering a formation], Eldrin Chen laid down the Supreme Subtlety Immortal Formation. It resonated distantly with the Purple Tenuity Island and Heavenly Market Island, completing the grand structure of the Three Enclosures Grand Formation.

"The power of each of the three Formation [a structured array of power, often for defense or attack] has increased by half. Though this is not its maximum potential, it shall suffice."

After successfully deploying the grand formation, Eldrin Chen gave a nod, yet a flicker of disappointment crossed his mind.

In his initial expectations, once the Three Enclosures Grand Formation was fully established in its complete state, not even a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of becoming an Earth Immortal] could breach it, and it could even hold its ground against a true Earth Immortal Progenitor [an immortal being bound to the earth, a powerful existence].

At present, the Three Enclosures Grand Formation [a powerful defensive formation based on the three celestial enclosures] possesses limited potency. This is because, with the exception of Verdant Chariot Mountain, the Immortal Vein [a vein of concentrated spiritual energy that nourishes a sacred site] beneath the three Immortal Mountain [a mountain imbued with profound spiritual energy, often a cultivation sanctuary] have not yet reached the Immortal Rank High Grade [a high-grade level of spiritual energy concentration suitable for immortal cultivation].

Furthermore, the Immortal Treasure [an enchanted artifact of immense power used by immortal cultivators] employed to anchor the formation are not the optimal choices for its purpose.

Although both the Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel [a wheel-shaped treasure that unleashes annihilating flames] and the Vajra Buddha's Alms Bowl [an indestructible alms bowl left by a powerful Buddhist monk] are High Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier category of enchanted immortal artifacts], they are not stellar-type Immortal Treasure capable of amplifying Stellar Power [a divine ability that channels the power of the stars].

If they were replaced with superior stellar Immortal Treasure, the formation's power could be increased by at least another fifty percent. At that point, even a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the very cusp of attaining Earth Immortal status] would find it difficult to breach the Three Enclosures Grand Formation.

"The Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel is formidable, yet it is not a treasure of the stars," Eldrin Chen mused.

"The Vajra Buddha's Alms Bowl is a treasure left for Varen Wei by the Old Monk. Currently, Varen Wei's cultivation is still too low to wield it, so it must be returned to him in the future."

"It seems after returning, I must inquire and see if stellar Immortal Treasure can be acquired," he concluded to himself.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Eldrin Chen shook his head once more.

After the successful deployment of the Three Enclosures Grand Formation, the potency of all three major arrays within it had increased by fifty percent.

Upon Heavenly Market Island [an island named after the celestial market enclosure], the power of the Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel had surged by thirty percent. Now, even if two or three ordinary cultivators at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the ninth and penultimate stage of the Ascension to Immortality realm] were to attack, they would likely face the peril of annihilation.

The Vajra Buddha's Alms Bowl of Supreme Subtlety Island possesses relatively weaker offensive power, yet its defensive capabilities are extraordinarily formidable. It is estimated that even if Crimson Dragon Scion were to lead an assault in person, it should be able to withstand the onslaught for a span of three to five days.

This duration would be sufficient to await reinforcements from Verdant Chariot Mountain.

And this is considering the Immortal Vein [a spiritual energy artery of immense power] of Supreme Subtlety Island is of a lower grade. If Supreme Subtite Island possessed a high-grade Immortal Vein, it is estimated that Crimson Dragon Scion could lead an assault for several years and still might not be able to breach its defenses.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen exhaled a stream of Primordial Essence [the purest form of foundational spiritual energy], using it to accelerate the growth of the Eight Trigrams Treasure Tree.

After completing this step, Eldrin Chen performed a brief divination with his fingers. He deduced that with the acceleration provided by the Primordial Essence, Supreme Subtlety Island could likely advance to the Middle Grade Immortal Rank within three Millennium [a period of one thousand years], and within ten thousand years, it could transform into a high-grade Immortal Vein.

Contemplating this, he summoned the Master of the Drifting Snow Palace and said, "For the coming Millennium, I must trouble you, Immortal Maiden, to guard this place."

"Clan Lord [the leader of a cultivation clan], please rest assured. This Supreme Subtlety Island shall be entrusted to my care," the Master of the Drifting Snow Palace replied with a slight bow and a nod.

Leaving the Master of the Drifting Snow Palace to guard Supreme Subtlety Island, Eldrin Chen then departed for Verdant Chariot Mountain, resuming his life of secluded cultivation.

This time, Eldrin Chen did not enter prolonged seclusion. When not engaged in cultivation within the mountains, he spent his leisure time beginning to process the materials left behind by the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.

This time, by slaying Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor, apart from obtaining a vast quantity of Immortal Treasure Divine Object, the most significant gain was acquiring the physical body of Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.

The cultivation base of this Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor reached the Seventh Level of Immortal Ascension Realm, and his comprehension of the Crimson Flame Law had already attained the Sky-Reaching Realm.

His Immortal Physique, tempered over hundreds of thousands of years, was an unparalleled Immortal Treasures that condensed the essence of heaven and earth.

The immortal blood of Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor was considered a rare and potent tonic even for Immortal cultivating an Immortal Physique, and could also be used to refine precious Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill.

His immortal bones contained the Divine Ability and Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality]. Once fully activated, they would grant speed rivaling that of an Ascendant Immortal.

Furthermore, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor possessed seven innate true feathers, which contained the complete Crimson Flame Qi and Law Power [the power derived from comprehending a Law of the Dao], making them excellent materials for forging an Immortal Treasure.

And the most precious of all, the Crimson Flame Immortal Embryo, contained the Laws of the Dao and Creation Power [the power of genesis and transformation], which could be used to refine the 'Heaven-Approaching Dao Comprehension Pill'. For uninterrupted reading, go to audio–novel.com.

"The immortal blood can refine one furnace of Three Revolutions Immortal Pill. The immortal bones can be used to forge an immortal ark."

"The seven true feathers can forge an Immortal Treasure. As for the final Crimson Flame Immortal Embryo..."

Eldrin Chen shook his head. The value of the Heaven-Approaching Dao Comprehension Pill was astonishingly high; consuming it could increase a Law Immortal's [an immortal who has mastered a Law of the Dao] chances of breaking through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm by thirty percent.

His accumulated Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and stable cultivation base accumulated over time] was now exceedingly deep, yet he still did not possess the Pill Formula [the recipe and method for concocting a specific pill] for this Heaven-Approaching Dao Comprehension Pill [a legendary pill that grants insights approaching the heavenly Dao].

"First, I shall seal away the Crimson Flame Immortal Embryo [a nascent form of an immortal entity born from crimson flames], and refine it later once I find the Pill Formula," he murmured to himself.

Eldrin Chen whispered inwardly, then proceeded to separate the immortal blood, immortal bones, and true feathers.

There was a considerable amount of immortal blood within the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's body. Eldrin Chen refined it within his Alchemy Furnace [a specialized vessel for concocting pills and refining materials] for Forty-Nine Days, ultimately extracting the essence of the immortal blood.

The extracted immortal blood amounted to merely a single drop. It was crimson in hue, swirling with immortal aura and flickering flames within, shining as brilliantly as the Supreme Yang [the ultimate principle of pure, positive Yang energy].

Though it was only one drop, Eldrin Chen dared not treat it lightly, for this was a drop of Primordial Source [the original, foundational essence from which all things are derived] true blood, condensed from the essence of all the blood within the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's entire body.

This wisp of Primordial Source true blood emanated a sliver of energy capable of annihilating heaven and earth—a single spill into the starry void could obliterate a celestial body—yet it also pulsed with an incomparably vigorous vitality.

"True blood of Crimson Flame Qi [the spiritual energy essence of crimson flames]," he identified.

"A pity there is only one drop."

Eldrin Chen felt a flicker of delight, yet he shook his head in mild regret.

This drop of Primordial Source [the foundational, purest form of life essence] True Blood was exceedingly precious, yet its quantity was somewhat meager. It was evident that Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor indeed possessed an ordinary foundation; barring unforeseen circumstances, he likely would be unable to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Ascendant Immortal [the third major realm of immortality] realm.

"With only a single drop, at most, one can refine but a single Three Revolutions Immortal Pill [a legendary pill that refines and strengthens the immortal body through three cycles of transformation]."

Taking this drop of blood into his hand, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself.

Within the Immortal Realm [the collective realms where immortals reside], the path of Fleshly Body Sanctification [the cultivation art of refining the physical body to divine perfection] is a Great Path that ascends to the heavens. One branch of this path, if followed to its end, can lead directly to the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal [the pinnacle of immortal attainment, a state of ultimate perfection and unity with the Dao], and holds the potential for advancement even beyond.

However, the path of Fleshly Body Sanctification is also extraordinarily arduous. It not only demands exceptional physical aptitude from the cultivator but also consumes resources far surpassing those required by ordinary Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality through cultivation].

Therefore, a certain Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [a primordial sage who founded a major school of the Dao] within the Immortal Realm pioneered the method of the 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill' [the supreme version of the body-refining pill, involving nine cycles of transformation], opening a Great Dao [a supreme and profound cultivation path] for Immortal who walk the path of sagehood through physical refinement.

Among the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, the first three revolutions correspond to the Ascension Immortal Realm [the initial stage of true immortality], the fourth to sixth revolutions correspond to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of immortals anchored to the mortal world], and the seventh to ninth revolutions correspond to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals who reside in the higher heavens].

Legend holds that Immortal who tread the path of Fleshly Body Sanctification can rely on the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Heaven Immortal [a celestial immortal] realm.

As for the realm above that, the Great Luo Golden Immortal, those are figures of the caliber of Celestial Court Emperor Lord [a sovereign ruler within the heavenly bureaucracy] and Immortal Monarchs. Across the three thousand Immortal Realm, they are peerless existences, whose achievement requires immense fortune, unwavering resolve, and profound destiny.

Relying solely on the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill is far from sufficient to reach such heights. For more chapters, visit audio‑novel.com for the complete novel.
