Chapter 1120 Refining the Chi Ling Immortal Ark
However, the fact that it could even assist an immortal in cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, completely disregarding innate aptitude, demonstrated the astonishing potency of the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
To refine the 9 Revolutions Immortal Pill, apart from consuming vast quantities of supplementary herbs, the most crucial ingredient is the Lifebound True Blood from the body of an immortal deity.
And this drop of True Blood in Eldrin’s hand could refine a 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
"This 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir is not particularly difficult to refine."
"Alas, refining the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir requires the consumption of divine true blood, and each pill carries immense karma."
"Moreover, those who break through by consuming such elixirs will inevitably attract immense karmic retribution, and may face an additional tribulation during their breakthrough."
"Thus, to avoid making enemies on all sides and inviting calamity upon oneself, 1 must refrain from casually refining the 9 Revolutions Immortal Elixir."
Eldrin murmured softly, then shook his head.
When a true enemy is encountered, and you’ve already slain them, taken their blood, and sent them into the cycle of reincarnation, the enmity between both sides has long surpassed the heavens—why would anyone care about such trivial karma?
"Simply take this as a warning—do not deliberately slay immortals to refine elixirs for the sake of crafting celestial pills."
After much deliberation, Eldrin hesitated no longer and began refining the 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
With Eldrin's (Person Name) alchemy skills, he had become quite confident in refining 3 Revolutions Immortal Pills. He placed vast quantities of spiritual herbs and celestial ingredients into the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron (Magic Treasure).
He then infused his origin essence blood into it, painstakingly refining it for a full 40-9 years before finally succeeding in crafting the 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir—producing a single pill of 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
After successfully refining the 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir, Eldrin held it in his palm and fell into deep contemplation.
Such an immortal elixir is exceptionally rare, a treasured artifact even for immortals walking the path of physical sanctification.
However, this pill contained a trace of karma, so Eldrin had no intention of consuming it.
After all, he possessed the formula for the Jade Marrow Golden Elixir. This elixir's efficacy was no less than that of a 3 Revolutions Immortal Pill, yet its nature was balanced and gentle, completely free from the burden of karmic retribution. Truly, it was the optimal choice for cultivating an immortal physique.
"For thousands of years, the family had cultivated the Ink Marrow Immortal Field, and 3 Jade Marrow Golden Shoots had advanced within the immortal field."
"Unfortunately, the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoots I obtained for my advancement are still only lower-grade immortal rank. Who knows how many years it will take to reach upper-grade immortal rank."
"It seems I must find the special secret method for cultivating the Jade Marrow Golden Shoots. Only by refining jade marrow and dark gold into them can we accelerate their nurturing speed."
Thoughts flickered through Eldrin's mind, but he quickly dismissed further contemplation.
Putting away the 3 Revolutions Immortal Elixir, Eldrin then took out the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) and the 7 true feathers of the Divine Eagle Emperor.
He forged a formidable sword array, using 7 true feathers as its foundation and integrating 40-9 pieces of Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) profound gold, devoting a full 60 years to its refinement.
The sword formation was composed of 7 Crimson Feather Immortal Swords. Forged from 7 true feathers as their foundation and infused with vast amounts of Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) profound gold, each blade ranked among the lower-grade immortal swords.
Although these 7 immortal swords were all of low-grade, they could combine to form a sword formation of astonishing lethality.
This sword formation was of the Immortal-grade, upper-tier rank. Though its power could not rival top-tier formations backed by spiritual mountains, it could still be considered truly astonishing.
He could unleash the scorching Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) that incinerated all, and possessed an edge sharp enough to slay immortals and deities.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, were he to refine this sword formation himself, even a Ninth Ascension Realm cultivator trapped within it would likely be slain.
Its power ranked among the finest even within the upper-grade immortal treasures, surpassing both the Blazing Flame Annihilation Wheel and Xavier's Celestial Fire Furnace, roughly equivalent to 1 and a half ordinary upper-grade immortal treasures.
"My defenses are secured by the Yin-Yang Polarity Pearl, and my offense is bolstered by the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords. While this item may hold some utility for me, it can scarcely enhance my combat prowess to any significant degree."
"Leave these for Lyra and the others as protection. Even if I depart from the Crimson Dragon Sea in the future, they'll be able to hold their own against Crimson Dragon Son for a while."
With this thought in mind, Eldrin retrieved the immortal bones of the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Eagle Emperor.
The immortal realm was immeasurably vast. Even for someone like Eldrin (Person Name), crossing a single sea could take anywhere from several months to several years. Venturing slightly farther might require hundreds or even thousands of years.
Hence, Eldrin had long desired a Celestial-class treasure vessel for travel, to save himself the countless journeys back and forth.
Now that he possessed the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) and the immortal bones of the Divine Sculpture Emperor, he resolved to immediately forge a treasured vessel for himself.
With the immortal bone serving as the keel of the treasure vessel, the remaining supplementary materials became far easier to handle.
Eldrin made use of the materials at hand, taking 3,600 plume feathers from the Crimson Flame Qi Divine Eagle Emperor and infusing them with vast amounts of Xun Wind Immortal Qi.
This Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) feather of the Divine Eagle Emperor is both resilient and lightweight, while the Xun Wind Immortal Qi stands as the most ethereal and swiftest immortal energy in all realms.
Eldrin employed the 3 Treasures Refinement method, spending over 1 100 years to forge a Crimson Flame Qi Feather Canoe.
Gazing at the Crimson Feather Immortal Ark before him, Eldrin (Person Name) remarked with unconcealed delight, "From now on, you shall be called the Crimson Plume Immortal Ark."
This Crimson Plume Immortal Ark was the pinnacle of Eldrin's artifact-crafting mastery, ranked as a top-grade immortal artifact with 3 superior immortal formations inscribed within.
These 3 immortal formations were the 'Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Flowing Fire Formation', the 'Crimson Feather Divine Aegis Formation', and the 'Crimson Feather Evading Light Formation', each serving the purposes of offense, defense, and evasion respectively.
Within the 3 immortal arrays, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Flowing Fire Array could unleash the innate divine ability of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Eagle Emperor—'Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Flowing Fire'. When amplified by the array formation, its power rivaled an attack from an Ascension Realm late-stage cultivator.
The Crimson Feather Divine Aegis was a defensive supernatural power, derived by Eldrin (Person Name) through his deduction of the formation patterns of the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Divine Condor Emperor.
Under the activation of the formation, its power had surpassed that of Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) when manifested by the Divine Eagle Emperor himself, capable of withstanding attacks from those at the late Ascension stage.
The Crimson Feather Escape Light Formation contained the Crimson Feather Escape Light divine ability. With the passive enhancement of this divine ability, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss's flight speed was approximately 3 times that of an Immortal Ascension Realm late-stage cultivator.
If fully activated at the cost of depletion, it could even triple the Immortal Ark's speed for a brief period.
It must be known that even a Half-Step Earth Immortal elder typically possesses a flying speed only about 3 to 4 times that of a cultivator at the peak of the Ascendant Realm.
With this Crimson Plume Immortal Ark, Eldrin (Person Name) was even confident he could shake off a Half-Step Earth Immortal's pursuit.
"With this treasure, the safety of the Taiwei and Tianshi Islands shall henceforth be sufficiently assured."
Gazing at the Crimson Plume Immortal Ark, a trace of delight surfaced on Eldrin's face.
At full speed, the Crimson Plume Immortal Ark could reach any location on the Taiwei Island or Tianshi Island within half a day.
However, it would take Eldrin at least 2 or 3 days to lead reinforcements there—ample time for Crimson Dragon Child to launch a surprise assault and capture both islands.
At this thought, Eldrin felt the pressure ease considerably. He finally let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart, and his mood unwittingly grew much lighter.
After successfully refining the Crimson Plume Immortal Ark, Eldrin finally concluded his days of crafting pills and artifacts, devoting his energy entirely to cultivation.
In the days that followed, he began methodically converting the Primordial Purple Qi each day. During his spare time, he immersed himself in studying the 100 Schools Immortal Classics, simultaneously accumulating foundational knowledge and enriching his life experiences.
Thus time slipped swiftly by, and in the blink of an eye, 1 1000 years had passed.
Until this day, Eldrin was cultivating within the Starlight Glaze Realm when he unexpectedly received an unforeseen invitation.
"It's him?"
"He truly broke through."
