Chapter 1119 : The Three Enclosures Grand Formation
Having said this, Eldrin Chen spoke again, "Henceforth, let this Crimson Flame Island be renamed Celestial Market Island."
"Agreed."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. The Three Enclosures Grand Formation was rooted in the Three Enclosures, corresponding to the Supreme Subtlety Enclosure, the Purple Tenuity Enclosure, and the Celestial Market Enclosure. Naming the three islands after the Three Enclosures was indeed more fitting.
Thus, after some discussion, they renamed Green Chariot Island as Purple Tenuity Island. The main peak on Purple Tenuity Island, Green Chariot Mountain, however, remained unchanged.
After settling this matter, Eldrin Chen journeyed to the Celestial Sand Sea Region. Deep within the sea, he found 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 vein of concentrated immortal-grade spiritual energy] within the Supreme Subtlety Enclosure finally took shape.
Using this as the foundation and the Vajra Alms Bowl as the Formation Artifact [the core artifact powering a formation], Eldrin Chen laid down the Supreme Subtlety Immortal Formation. It resonated distantly with the islands of Purple Tenuity and Celestial Market, completing the Three Enclosures Grand Formation.
"The power of each of the three Formation [a structured arrangement of energy for defense or attack] has increased by half. While not at its maximum potential, it is sufficient."
After successfully deploying the grand formation, Eldrin Chen nodded, though a trace of disappointment lingered.
In his initial expectations, once the Three Enclosures Grand Formation was fully established in its complete state, it would be Impenetrable [utterly unbreachable] even to a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of becoming an Earth Immortal], and could even hold its ground against an Earth Immortal Patriarch for a time.

Currently, the Three Enclosures Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array formation] possesses limited potency. This is because, with the exception of Green Chariot Mountain, the Immortal Vein [the spiritual energy arteries of immortal mountains] beneath the three immortal peaks have not yet reached the Upper Grade Immortal Rank [the highest tier of immortal-grade spiritual energy].
Furthermore, the Immortal Treasure [enchanted artifacts of immortal rank] used to anchor the formation are not the optimal choices for its purpose.
Although both the Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel and the Vajra Alms Bowl are High-Grade Immortal Treasure [powerful immortal-rank artifacts], they are not Stellar [pertaining to the power of the stars]-type Immortal Treasure capable of amplifying Stellar energies.
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 verge of becoming an Earth Immortal] would find it difficult to breach the Three Enclosures Grand Formation.
"The Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel is indeed Extraordinary [a name meaning 'extraordinary'], but it is not a treasure of Stellar nature," Eldrin Chen mused.
"The Vajra Alms Bowl was a treasure left to Varen Wei by the Old Monk. Varen Wei's cultivation is still too low to wield it now, and it must be returned to him in the future."
"It seems after returning, I must inquire and see if I can acquire a suitable Stellar Immortal Treasure," he concluded.
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 power of all three constituent arrays had increased by fifty percent.
Above Celestial Market Island, the might of the Blazing Flame Heaven-Destroying Wheel had surged by thirty percent. Even if two or three ordinary Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [immortals at the peak of the Ascendant Immortal realm] were to attack, they would likely face the peril of annihilation.
The Vajra Alms Bowl [a powerful Buddhist defensive artifact] of Supreme Subtlety Island possesses relatively weaker offensive power, but its defensive capabilities are supremely potent. It is estimated that even if Crimson Dragon Child were to lead an assault personally, it should be able to withstand the onslaught for three to five days.
This duration would be sufficient to await reinforcements from Green Chariot Mountain.
This assessment is made while Supreme Subtlety Island's Immortal Vein [a geological formation that channels and concentrates immortal-grade spiritual energy] is of a lower grade. If the island possessed a High Grade Immortal Vein [a top-tier spiritual energy vein], it is estimated that Crimson Dragon Child and his forces could besiege it for several years without necessarily breaching its defenses.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen exhaled a wisp of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade energy of creation and origin] to accelerate the growth of the Eight Trigrams Treasure Tree.
After completing this step, Eldrin Chen performed a brief divination. He deduced that with the acceleration provided by the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, Supreme Subtlety Island could advance to a [a mid-grade spiritual energy vein] within three thousand years, and within ten thousand years, it could transform into a High Grade Immortal Vein.
Contemplating this, he summoned the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace and said, "For the next millennium, I must trouble you, Immortal Maiden, to guard this place."
"Clan Patriarch may rest assured. I shall take charge of Supreme Subtlety Island," the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace replied with a slight bow and a nod.
"..."
Leaving the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace to guard Supreme Subtlety Island, Eldrin Chen departed for Green Chariot Mountain and resumed his life of secluded cultivation.
This time, Eldrin Chen was not in prolonged seclusion. With no pressing matters, he simply cultivated in seclusion within the mountains. In his leisure, he began processing the materials left behind by the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.
From slaying the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor, apart from obtaining a vast quantity of Immortal Artifact [divine-grade materials], the most significant gain was acquiring the physical body of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor.
This Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor possessed cultivation at the Ascendant Immortal 7th Tier level, and its comprehension of the Crimson Flame Path Principles had reached the Sky-Touching Realm.
Its Immortal Body, tempered over hundreds of thousands of years, was a supreme Immortal Artifact [divine-grade treasure] condensed from the essence of heaven and earth.
The immortal blood of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor was considered a rare and potent tonic even for Immortal [celestial beings] cultivating an Immortal Body, and could also be used to refine precious Immortal Pill [celestial elixirs].
Its immortal bones contained innate Divine Ability [supernatural power] and Path Principles [fundamental cosmic laws]. Once fully activated, they would grant Extreme Speed [peerless velocity] comparable to an Ascendant Immortal.
Furthermore, the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor possessed seven innate true feathers, each containing the complete power of the Crimson Flame [Scarlet Blaze] Path Principles Power [cosmic law energy]. These were excellent materials for forging an Immortal Treasure [celestial artifact]. Original publication: audi0-n0vel.c0m - The source of this chapter.
And then there was the most precious item of all—the Crimson Flame Immortal Embryo. It contained the power of Creation [Genesis] from the Path Principles, and could be used to refine the 'Heavenly Path Contemplation Method Pill' [Pill of Heavenly Dao Contemplation].
"The immortal blood can refine a cauldron of Three Revolutions Immortal Pill [Triple-Cycle Celestial Elixir]. The immortal bones can be forged into an immortal skyship."
"The seven true feathers can be used to forge an Immortal Treasure. As for the final Crimson Flame Immortal Embryo…"
Eldrin Chen shook his head. The value of the Heavenly Path Contemplation Method Pill was utterly staggering; consuming it could increase a Path Principles Immortal's chances of breaking through to the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm by thirty percent.
Although the foundation he had accumulated by now was profoundly deep, he still did not possess the alchemical formula for this Heavenly Path Contemplation Method Pill.
"For now, I shall seal away the Crimson Flame Immortal Embryo and refine it later, once I have found the formula," he decided.
Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then proceeded to separate the immortal blood, immortal bones, and true feathers.
The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's body contained a considerable amount of immortal blood. Eldrin Chen refined it within his alchemical furnace for forty-nine days, ultimately extracting the essence of the immortal blood.
The extracted immortal blood amounted to merely a single drop. It was a crimson hue, swirling with immortal aura and flickering flames within, dazzling like a miniature sun.
Though it was only one drop, Eldrin Chen dared not take it lightly, for this was a drop of primordial true blood, the concentrated essence of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's entire lifeblood.
This wisp of primordial true blood radiated a sliver of energy capable of destroying heavens and extinguishing earth [possessing cataclysmic power]. Spilled into the starry void, it could annihilate a star, yet it also pulsed with an incredibly vigorous vitality.
"True blood of the Crimson Flame," he said.
"A pity there is only one drop."
Eldrin Chen felt a flicker of delight, yet he shook his head.
This drop of Primordial True Blood was exceedingly precious, yet its quantity was far too meager. It was evident that the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor indeed possessed an ordinary foundation; barring unforeseen circumstances, it was likely incapable of cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Ascendant Immortal Realm.
"With only a single drop, it would be sufficient to refine, at most, one Three Revolutions Immortal Pill,"
Eldrin Chen murmured to himself as he drew the drop of blood into his palm.
Within the Immortal Realm, the path of Fleshly Body Sanctification [the art of refining one's physical form to divine perfection] is a Path to Heaven [a supreme cultivation method]. One branch of this path, if followed to its ultimate end, can lead directly to the realm of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal whose golden essence encompasses all], with potential for even greater heights.
However, the Path of Fleshly Body Sanctification is also exceptionally arduous. It not only demands exceptional innate physical aptitude from the cultivator but also consumes resources far surpassing those required by ordinary Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality].
Therefore, a certain Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [a founding sage who established a major cultivation path] within the Immortal Realm pioneered the method of the 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill' [a legendary pill refined through nine cycles of transformation], opening a Great Path [a grand and profound cultivation method] for Immortal who walk the path of sanctifying the flesh.
Among the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, the first three revolutions correspond to the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the foundational realm for ascended immortals], the fourth to sixth revolutions correspond to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of earthbound immortals], and the seventh to ninth revolutions correspond to the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals].
It is said that Immortal who follow the path of Fleshly Body Sanctification can rely on the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill to cultivate all the way to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle of the celestial immortal realm].
As for the realm above that, the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal, those are figures of the caliber of Immortal Court Imperial Lord [lords who rule within the celestial bureaucracy] and Immortal Lord [supreme lords among immortals]. Across the three thousand Immortal Realm [the myriad realms where immortals dwell], they are peerless existences, whose achievement requires immense Fortune [heavenly favor and destiny], unwavering resolve, and even greater Opportunity and Fortune [rare chances and profound luck].
Relying solely on the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [a legendary pill said to grant nine cycles of rebirth and profound power] would still be far from sufficient to achieve such a feat. Experience the full epic at audi novel.com.
