Chapter 1071. Refining the Ascension Elixir

Gazing at the Yin Yang Taiji Elixir before him, Eldrin couldn't help but fall into contemplative silence.

A 1000 years ago, Eldrin had consumed a Pure Yang Immortal Ascension Pill. In principle, he should not take any more elixirs that enhance cultivation power for the next 3,000 years.

Eldrin possessed an exceptionally profound foundation, further refined by a pair of mid-grade innate immortal treasures that continuously tempered his spiritual energy. Had an ordinary immortal consumed elixirs so recklessly, it would have shattered their very foundation.

But even for Eldrin, after consuming this Yin Yang Taiji Pill, his spiritual power would become increasingly unstable. For a long time to come, he would no longer be able to ingest any elixirs that enhanced cultivation.

To risk taking it again would surely damage 1's foundation, greatly increasing the difficulty of future breakthroughs.

The reason Eldrin was in such a hurry to consume the Yin Yang Taiji Pill was to swiftly accumulate his magical power to perfection, enabling him to charge toward the fourth level of Ascension.

Once he broke through to the fourth level of Ascension, Eldrin's power would enter a period of rapid growth.

The 3 Realms of Ascension are the Profound Mystery Realm, the Creation Realm, and the Heaven-Comprehending Realm.

Within the 3 Realms, there exists the profound mystery of the Mysterious Realm cultivating immortal essence, the Creation Realm mending foundations, and the Reaching Heaven Realm comprehending the Great Dao.

To cultivate Mysterious Realm Immortal Essence is to refine 1's own immortal essence to perfection. At this stage, immortals experience the most rapid progress in their cultivation, requiring only the continuous accumulation of immortal essence.

The Realm of Creation is about mending 1's foundation, naturally compensating for 1's inherent deficiencies.

Cultivators who attain immortality through physical refinement must cultivate laws and Dao fruits within this realm.

Conversely, those who cultivate the Dao of Laws must also forge their immortal bodies at this realm and condense their own Fruit of Ascension.

If 1 fails to remedy their flaws, it will leave behind a fatal weakness.

For instance, a Law Immortal, despite possessing formidable offensive capabilities, lacks the stability of a Dao Fruit to fortify their will. Ultimately, they become assimilated by their own laws, transforming into an emotionless embodiment of those principles.

While Dao Fruit Immortals possess great wisdom and fear not the suffering of law erosion, the formation patterns, immortal treasures, and even immortal artifacts of the celestial rank are all manifestations of cosmic laws. Without mastering the power of laws, 1 would inevitably achieve little in the future.

Moreover, an immortal physique is absolutely essential. Without cultivating an immortal body, 1's mortal form would remain as fragile as a newborn, utterly incapable of bearing the weight of an immortal fetus and primordial spirit. In battles, 1 would constantly have to guard it with extreme caution.

Therefore, every immortal must remain in the Creation Realm for an extensive period, harnessing their formidable immortal essence to forge what they lack—be it an immortal physique, laws of nature, or a Dao Fruit.

Only when all 3 paths had ascended to immortal steps, completely mending his shortcomings and achieving the flawless foundation of immortality, could he attain the possibility of advancing further.

Eldrin (Person Name) cultivated immortal bodies, laws, and Dao Fruits simultaneously. Once 1 breaks through to the Creation Realm, it wouldn't be this troublesome.

He only needed to continue accumulating immortal essence, and when it brimmed with abundance, he could advance to the next stage.

Others might require 70 to 80 1000 years of arduous cultivation, and even then they would need to seek treasures to mend their foundational deficiencies before advancing a single layer.

Some immortals with slightly inferior opportunities and innate talent might even remain at this realm for 7 to 8 100 1000 years in 1 stretch.

And at this stage, Eldrin only needed to accumulate immortal essence step by step, and within 10 1000 years, he could advance by 1 level of cultivation.

For Eldrin, breaking through to the mid-stage Ascension Realm would grant him some confidence in refining the Primordial Qi.

Moreover, before the great calamity in 60,000 years, while reaching the Heaven-Touching Realm remained uncertain, he could at least cultivate to the Sixth Level of Ascension.

"In that case, there's no need for hesitation."

At this thought, Eldrin felt slightly reassured and immediately swallowed the Yin Yang Taiji Pill.

Within the 3 Realms of Ascension, the Mysterious Wonder Realm saw the swiftest growth in immortal essence. Even before Eldrin became an immortal, he had already begun converting immortal essence. Now, the power of immortal essence within him had increased by more than tenfold compared to the past.

Yet even so, the moment he swallowed the Yin Yang Taiji Pill (Elixir), Eldrin felt an overwhelmingly immense medicinal energy surge into his body.

The potency of this elixir was far too immense. It took Eldrin a full 1 100 years just to complete the initial refinement and transform it into immortal essence.

By the time he had fully refined the medicinal efficacy, he discovered that a full century had passed. Only then did he realize his immortal essence had reached the peak of the third level of Ascension.

"My immortal essence has reached a bottleneck, not far from the fourth level of Ascendant Immortal."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, to break through to the middle stage of Ascendant Immortal realm, 1 must not only accumulate immortal essence to perfection but also continuously refine the power of immortal energy.

Only when the immortal essence had transformed into a more refined state, its purity reaching the level of Mid Ascension Stage, could 1 attempt the breakthrough.

Without the aid of external resources, this process generally requires over a 100 1000 years.

Eldrin possessed a mid-grade Natal Immortal Sword. By tempering his immortal essence through this bonded sword, he could significantly shorten the required duration.

His lifebound immortal sword had only recently advanced to mid-grade immortal rank, but it would merely take another 10 1000 years to complete the refinement of his immortal essence, allowing him to reach the middle stage of Ascendant Immortal realm.

However, Eldrin was no longer willing to wait. This time, he had purchased a Fruit of Creation (Heavenly Treasure) precisely to prepare for his own breakthrough to the middle stage of Ascending Immortality Realm.

The Tome of Minyan Dan records a pill formula known as the Ascension Rebirth Elixir. This elixir aids immortals in breaking through to the middle stage of Ascension Realm, with the Fruit of Creation serving as the primary ingredient for refining the Ascension Rebirth Elixir.

Once the Ascension Elixir of Creation is successfully refined, Eldrin will be able to harness its power to break through to the Middle Stage of Ascension.

Once he broke through to the middle stage of Ascendant Realm and elevated his Natal Treasure to the upper Immortal Grade, refining his immortal essence would become effortless with his heightened cultivation and more powerful Natal Treasure.

By then, it would take Eldrin approximately 1 1000 years to consolidate his cultivation base.

Using 1 Ascension Creation Elixir to condense over a 100 1000 years of effort into a mere millennium—this was undoubtedly an exceedingly cost-effective transaction.

Eldrin (Person Name) made a quick calculation and immediately began refining the Ascension Rebirth Pill.

This Ascension Creation Elixir was a mid-grade immortal pill. Eldrin had been confident in refining it back when he was only at the 2nd level of the Ascension Realm. Now that the immortal energy within his body had grown substantially, the refinement process would naturally be far easier.

In less than a single jiazi, Eldrin had successfully refined the Ascension Elixir.

"Bzzz—"

Eldrin sat cross-legged before the dragon-engraved black gold cauldron, channeling his hand seals to lift the lid. Within the treasured vessel, 3 immortal pills spun in luminous orbits, drawing a faint smile of satisfaction to his lips.

The potency of a single Creation Pill could at most refine 5 or 6 immortal elixirs, yet Eldrin had successfully concocted 3 this time—clear proof of his exceptional alchemical skill.

For most immortals capable of producing more than 5 pills per batch were typically Earth Immortal realm patriarchs. Ordinary alchemists crafting superior-grade immortal pills could usually only refine 2 or 3 Celestial Ascension Pills per cauldron.

Even the Immortal Minyan of old, with his alchemical skills capable of refining supreme-grade immortal pills, could only produce 4 or 5 pellets per batch when crafting this particular elixir.

"It is time to enter seclusion for a breakthrough."

After successfully refining the immortal pill, Eldrin felt profound delight in his heart.

He emerged from the seclusion chamber and strode toward the Immortal Spring Cavern in the mountains.

But just as Eldrin arrived at the Immortal Spring Cave Abode, he saw Lyra flying toward him with an expression caught between worry and delight.

Eldrin sensed that something must have occurred and couldn't help but inquire, "What happened?"
