Chapter 1075 Minor 4 Symbols Law

Setting aside his wandering thoughts, Eldrin began to refine the Source of Laws once more.

He merged Heaven and Earth with Fire and Water, gathering Wind, Thunder, Mountain, and Marsh. Unknowingly, he coalesced 2 supremely domineering sources of primordial law.

"What formidable power of the Law."

Gazing at the 2 merged Sources of Law before him, Eldrin's expression grew profoundly solemn.

These 2 sources of law were each composed of 4 overwhelmingly domineering laws, possessing a power that could nearly rend heaven and earth, yet they had formed a peculiar balance.

Minor 4 Symbols Law.

Eldrin, a celestial immortal of the 9 Heavens, sensed the will of the heavenly dao in the depths of his soul and attained enlightenment of this mystical law.

The so-called 4 Symbols Laws refer to the 4 fundamental forces of Lesser Yang, Greater Yang, Lesser Yin, and Greater Yin, represented by the 4 celestial constellations: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.

Thus, these 4 supreme laws of power are collectively known as the 4 Symbols Laws, regarded as the most primordial forces in heaven and earth.

The Lesser 4 Symbols Law is not so stringent; any law formed by the fusion of 4 distinct laws can be considered a Lesser 4 Symbols Law.

In comparison, the power of the 4 Symbols Law was even more astonishing, its potential hardly inferior to that of the Primordial Chaos Law.

In contrast, Eldrin's (Person Name) Primordial Chaos of Non-Polarity Law was forged through the fusion of the 5 supreme elemental laws, thus also known as the Primordial Chaos of 5 Elements Law.

"It appears this Minor 4 Symbols Method is also a foundation for the Great Dao."

Eldrin gazed upon the 2 orbs of primordial law, sensing the opposing forces of Heaven and Earth within the water and fire, comprehending the majestic authority of wind, thunder, mountain, and marsh. A glimmer of profound understanding dawned within his heart.

Gazing at the 2 clusters of primordial force before him, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

At this moment, Eldrin had 2 choices: 1 was to extract the essence of the Minor 4 Symbols Law and apply it to the 2 fetuses.

Thus, 1 of the twin fetuses was born with the innate ability to command heaven, earth, water, and fire, while the other possessed the natural power to control wind, thunder, mountains, and marshes—both were rare prodigies bearing the mark of a Great Luo (Immortal Realm).

The other option was to continue the refinement process, to forge the 8 Trigrams Single Qi that Eldrin envisioned.

Yet this step was fraught with peril, for the Minor 4 Phenomena Law was inherently astonishing. Though the 8 Trigrams Origin had merely manifested as a nascent form of the law, should its power erupt, it would likely be sufficient to grievously wound even immortals and demons.

To merge them into 1 would likely entail even greater risks.

Lyra hesitated inwardly and couldn't help but turn to Eldrin, saying, "If we continue further, the difficulty will likely be considerable. Should we stop here?"

Eldrin fell into brief contemplation. After a long while, he drew a deep breath and shook his head. "These 8 Sources of Law were originally nurtured from a single Immortal Root."

"If separated, it would forfeit over half of its inherent fortune."

"And I have a feeling that this time, it will surely succeed."

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) said nothing more.

Eldrin (Person Name) took a deep breath and continued merging the origins of the laws.

The 4 Minor Phenomena Law was inherently domineering, making the fusion of its fundamental origins an exceedingly arduous task.

Eldrin channeled his immortal essence, supplementing it with soul force to continuously refine and merge the 2 nascent sources of the lesser 4 phenomena laws into 1.

Yet all he heard was a resonant hum as the 2 clusters of law essence collided, nearly detonating on the spot.

"Bzzzz—"

Seeing the situation turning dire, Eldrin immediately forced the surge of his immortal essence, unleashing the full power of the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron.

Under Eldrin's (Person Name) impetus, the dragon-engraved Black Gold Cauldron erupted with resplendent immortal radiance.

As the formation core of Qingyuan Island, this treasure even began to harness the formation's power to plunder the energy of heaven and earth, unleashing its own supreme might.

Upon the black-gold treasure cauldron, 1 dragon pattern after another began to coil and tremble, forcibly suppressing the repulsion between the 2 sources of divine law.

Boom—

With the final resounding boom, the 2 sources of law finally merged into 1, transforming into a fundamental law origin shaped like the Bagua diagram.

8 Trigrams Single Breath.

Eldrin murmured softly, a sense of resolve settling in his heart.

Retrieving the 8 Trigrams Single Breath, Eldrin gazed at Lyra and said tenderly, "Our child shall be born with a heaven-defying talent."

Lyra felt a faint warmth in her heart and took his hand, saying, "In that case, let's give the 7-Orifice Lyra Jade to Qing Ji."

Emerging from the seclusion chamber, Eldrin summoned Qing Ji.

Right before the 2 of them, he handed the 8 Trigrams Primordial Qi to Lyra (Person Name) and produced the 7-Orifice Lyra (Person Name) Jade, declaring, "Lyra (Person Name)'s child possesses even greater innate talent and foundation, making them most suited to refine this 8 Trigrams Primordial Qi."

"This 7-Aperture Lyra Jade shall be yours, Qingji, for refinement."

Qing Ji had anticipated this outcome. Though they were deeply devoted cultivation partners, Lyra (Person Name) had aided Eldrin (Person Name) far too much throughout their journey. She simply couldn't contend for this Primordial Breath of the 8 Trigrams.

Moreover, before attaining immortality, that Karma Blue Lotus Root was originally reserved for Lyra (Person Name), intended to forge her immortal body. Yet Lyra (Person Name) yielded it to her, so now she could hardly covet it for herself.

Qingji smiled faintly and picked up the 7-Aperture Lyra Jade. "They say the 7-Aperture Lyra Heart is the most exceptional spiritual aperture. Once awakened, it grants peerless divine grace—its power rivaling even that of the Dual Pupils."

"If our child could refine the 7-Aperture Lyra Jade, their future prospects would undoubtedly become boundless."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also smiled faintly before beginning to assist the 2 in refining these 2 supreme treasures.

Lyra refined the 8 Trigrams Primordial Qi with remarkable ease, soon assimilating it into her dantian.

Yet unexpectedly, something went awry when Qing Ji attempted to refine the 7-Apertures Lyra Jade. Several times in succession, her refinement efforts were mysteriously repelled and ultimately failed.

"This situation seems off."

Eldrin's expression shifted slightly as he immediately began calculating with his fingers. After a moment, he sighed, "This child's spiritual apertures have already opened, and they inherently conflict with the 7-Aperture Lyra Jade. It appears he is fated to have no connection with it."

"Heart Aperture has opened?"

Qing Ji was pleasantly surprised. When 2 immortals gave birth to an immortal descendant, there was a certain probability of the child being born with formidable innate talent.

Both she and Eldrin possessed the aptitude of a Great Luo, so it was expected their child would inherit remarkable talents. Yet none had anticipated it would manifest precisely as the Heart Aperture.

This child was born with an opened Heart Aperture, which should have been a tremendous blessing. Yet, few among those with opened Heart Apertures could rival the 7-Apertured Lyra (Person Name) Heart, rendering the opportunity they had prepared in vain.

Seeing the expression on Qing Ji’s face, Eldrin smiled and said, “This is a good thing. Our child is born with an immortal’s grace. Even without prenatal nourishment, he is destined for greatness in the future.”

"Since I can't refine the 7-Apertures Lyra Jade, I'll refine the Green Abyss Immortal Lotus Seed instead."

With that, Eldrin took out the Green Abyss Immortal Lotus Seed to assist Qing Ji in refining it. This time, the process went remarkably smoothly, and before long, the Green Abyss Immortal Lotus Seed was fully refined.

The 7-Aperture Lyra Jade was left over, and Eldrin directly handed it to Lyra to see if she could attempt to refine it.

Eldrin had merely intended to give it a casual try, yet to his utter astonishment, the innate talent of the fetus within Lyra’s womb proved unexpectedly formidable—it actually succeeded in refining and assimilating it.

At this stage, Eldrin's days returned to tranquility once more.

Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's recruitment ceremony had just concluded, and the mountain gate was still bustling with activity. Lin Xuan, a young man from a small village, stood at the foot of the stone steps, gazing up at the towering peaks shrouded in mist. His heart swelled with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. "Next!" A clear voice echoed from above. Lin Xuan took a deep breath and ascended the steps. At the summit, an elder in blue robes sat behind a stone table, his expression stern. Beside him, a crystal orb glowed with a faint light. "Place your hand on the Testing Crystal," the elder instructed. Lin Xuan complied. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, a brilliant golden light erupted from the orb, so intense that it blinded everyone nearby. "Heavenly Spiritual Root!" someone exclaimed. The elder's stern face finally cracked into a smile. "Excellent! The sect hasn’t seen a talent like this in over a 100 years." Lin Xuan felt a surge of relief. All those years of arduous cultivation had finally borne fruit. Just then, a sneering voice cut through the crowd. "Heavenly Spiritual Root? What a waste in the hands of a country bumpkin." A young man in luxurious silk robes stepped forward, flanked by 2 attendants. His eyes held a mocking glint as he looked Lin Xuan up and down. "Eldrin (Person Name)," the elder frowned, "mind your words." Eldrin (Person Name) chuckled. "I’m merely speaking the truth. How can someone from the boonies possibly comprehend the profound mysteries of cultivation?" Lin Xuan clenched his fists but remained silent. He knew that in the world of cultivation, strength spoke louder than words. The elder handed Lin Xuan a jade slip. "This is the ‘Primordial Chaos Art’—the foundational cultivation method of our sect. Master it, and you may yet have a chance to tread the path of immortality." Lin Xuan accepted it reverently. "Thank you, Elder." As he turned to leave, Eldrin (Person Name) blocked his path. "Let’s make a bet," he said, his voice low. "In 3 months, there will be an inner sect competition. If you can defeat me, I’ll give you 10,000 spirit stones. If you lose, you’ll hand over your Heavenly Spiritual Root." Gasps rippled through the crowd. Such a wager was unheard of—a spiritual root couldn’t simply be transferred. Yet Eldrin’s confidence suggested he had a way. Lin Xuan met his gaze squarely. "I accept." Eldrin (Person Name) smirked and tossed him a small pouch. "Here are 100 spirit stones to get you started. Don’t disappoint me." Back in his humble quarters, Lin Xuan opened the jade slip. The characters glowed with an ethereal light, and as he read, profound insights into the Dao flooded his mind. He sat cross-legged on his bunk and began circulating his spiritual energy according to the manual. The surrounding spiritual qi converged toward him, forming a visible vortex. Hours passed. When Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his vision was clearer, his hearing sharper. He had reached the first layer of the Qi Refining Stage. A notification appeared in his mind: [Primordial Chaos Art: Layer 1/9] [Talent: Heavenly Spiritual Root - Cultivation speed increased by 300%] So this was the power of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. No wonder Eldrin (Person Name) was so eager to obtain it. Over the next few days, Lin Xuan immersed himself in cultivation. He consumed a Basic Qi Pill (Elixir) daily, which accelerated his progress dramatically. By the end of the first month, he had broken through to the third layer of Qi Refining. Such speed was unprecedented in the sect’s history. 1 evening, as Lin Xuan practiced sword forms in a secluded bamboo grove, an elderly voice spoke behind him. "Not bad. Your foundation is solid, but your footwork lacks fluidity." Lin Xuan turned to see a gray-robed old man leaning on a staff. His aura was deep and immeasurable—clearly a master. "Senior," Lin Xuan bowed respectfully. The old man nodded. "I’ve been observing you. Your talent is exceptional, but talent alone isn’t enough. To truly walk the path of immortality, you must comprehend the Dao." He pointed with his staff at a falling bamboo leaf. "See that leaf? It dances with the wind, neither resisting nor forcing. That is the way of nature—the Great Dao." Lin Xuan watched intently as the leaf spiraled gracefully to the ground. Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. His previously rigid sword movements became smooth and natural. "Good comprehension," the old man praised. "Remember, cultivation is not just about accumulating power. It’s about understanding the world and your place in it." With that, the old man vanished as silently as he had appeared. Lin Xuan bowed deeply toward where the old man had stood. This chance encounter had brought him greater benefits than months of solitary cultivation. As the competition approached, Lin Xuan’s cultivation reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining. He also mastered several basic spells and a sword technique called "Floating Cloud Sword Art." The day of the inner sect competition arrived. The arena was packed with disciples and elders. On the elevated platform, the sect leader and several peak masters observed with interest. Eldrin (Person Name) stood confidently in his designated area, his gaze fixed on Lin Xuan with undisguised contempt. "The first match: Lin Xuan versus Eldrin (Person Name)!" announced the referee elder. The crowd buzzed with excitement. This was the matchup they had been waiting for. Eldrin (Person Name) leaped onto the stage, drawing his sword in 1 fluid motion. The blade shimmered with cold light—clearly no ordinary weapon. Lin Xuan ascended more calmly, his own sword plain and unadorned. "Ready? Begin!" Eldrin (Person Name) immediately launched an aggressive assault. His sword techniques were flashy and powerful, each strike aimed at a vital point. Lin Xuan defended steadily, his movements economical and precise. He had already discerned the flaws in Eldrin’s (Person Name) flamboyant style. After several exchanges, Eldrin (Person Name) grew impatient. "Enough playing around!" He leaped back and sheathed his sword, forming a series of hand seals. The air grew heavy as spiritual energy gathered around him. "Heavenly Thunder Technique!" someone shouted. A bolt of lightning shot toward Lin Xuan. This was no ordinary Qi Refining technique—it clearly surpassed the level of a foundation-building disciple. Gasps filled the arena. Using such a technique in a sparring match was excessive, if not outright dangerous. Lin Xuan’s expression turned serious. He couldn’t block this head-on. Remembering the old man’s teachings, he closed his eyes and allowed his intuition to guide him. At the critical moment, he shifted slightly. The lightning bolt grazed past him, scorching the ground where he had stood. Before Eldrin (Person Name) could react, Lin Xuan’s sword was at his throat. "How...?" Eldrin (Person Name) stared in disbelief. "The Dao of nature," Lin Xuan said quietly. "You rely too much on technique and not enough on comprehension." Silence gripped the arena, followed by thunderous applause. The sect leader nodded approvingly. "This child has remarkable comprehension. With proper guidance, his future achievements may be limitless." Lin Xuan retrieved his sword. "I believe you owe me 10,000 spirit stones." Eldrin (Person Name) flushed with humiliation but had no choice but to hand over a storage pouch. As Lin Xuan accepted it, a system notification appeared: [Quest completed: Defeat Eldrin (Person Name)] [Reward: Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure)] A ancient bronze sword materialized in his inventory space, its surface etched with mysterious patterns that seemed to pulse with dormant power. Lin Xuan smiled slightly. His journey as a cultivator had only just begun.
