Chapter 1154 : Forging Miracles from Flawed Immortality

What are Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities [a category of treasures forged from flawed immortal-grade materials, possessing power rivaling true Immortal Treasures]?

So-called Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities are, in fact, similar to Near-Immortal Treasures [artifacts forged from flawed immortal materials, typically left behind by ascending cultivators] in that both are refined from flawed immortal-grade materials.

However, a vast chasm separates them—a difference that may lie in the materials themselves, or perhaps in the skill of the artisan who forged them.

The common Near-Immortal Supreme Treasure found within the Purple Seal Realm are typically forged by senior Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to a higher realm of existence] before their ascension. Those Immortal often lacked sufficient mastery in artifact-crafting, resulting in Near-Immortal Treasures whose power falls far short of a true Immortal Treasure [a treasure forged from flawless immortal materials by a true immortal].

The might of these Near-Immortal Treasures is roughly equivalent to thirty percent of an Immortal Treasure's power; when unleashed at full force, they are utterly outmatched.

Yet, Eldrin Chen's current mastery of artifact-forging has reached the very pinnacle of the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the highest mortal cultivation realm, just below true immortality].

Even flawed immortal materials, when placed in his hands, can be transformed from the mundane into the miraculous.

Take, for instance, the Venus Metallic Gold Sword Fiend [a divine ability manifesting as a legion of golden sword phantoms]. It was originally merely a Primordial Solar [a high cultivation realm] rarity. Yet, Eldrin Chen forcibly fused one hundred portions into a single crucible, repeatedly tempering them until its power brushed against the very threshold of the Immortal Artifact [a synonym for Immortal Treasure] domain.

And ordinary flawed immortal materials, once forged into treasures by Eldrin Chen, attain roughly eighty to ninety percent of the potency of a true Immortal Treasure.

The power of such supreme treasures far surpasses that of Near-Immortal Treasures, differing only by the slimmest of margins from genuine Immortal Treasure. This novel is serialized on audi0-n0vel.c0m. Visit for updates.

It surpassed Near-Immortal Supreme Treasure [a treasure of immense power, just one step below an Immortal Treasure], yet fell just short of being a true Immortal Treasure [a treasure forged with the power of an Immortal, possessing world-shaking might]. Therefore, it was known as Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities [a category of treasures of extraordinary rarity and power, born from the heavens themselves].

Strictly speaking, even within the Purple Seal Realm [the world where the Chen Clan originated], there existed Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities.

For example, the Heavenly Starry Sky Grand Formation [a legendary defensive formation of immense scale and power] from the bygone era of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World [a vast cultivation region centered on the Eastern Sea], which could unleash power approaching that of an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality, possessing god-like power]. It could barely be considered a Formation [a structured arrangement of power, often for defense or attack]-type Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities.

Now, with dozens of these Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities appearing, the thirty-six Demigod Patriarch [cultivators who have reached the peak of the mortal realm, half-step to immortality] each managed to obtain at least one. Uncontrollable expressions of ecstatic joy spread across their faces.

A few were less fortunate, receiving the flawed Near-Immortal Supreme Treasure discarded during Eldrin Chen's [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator and patriarch] forging process. Yet, these still possessed fifty to sixty percent of an Immortal Treasure's power. Though they could not compare to the Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities, they still surpassed ordinary Near-Immortal Supreme Treasure.

"Immortal Fate [the profound destiny and fortune required to achieve immortality]! Supreme Immortal Fate!"

The assembled Demigod [the cultivation realm just below true immortality] marveled, their faces etched with looks of profound gratitude and awe.

After them, three thousand Primordial Spirit Path Lord [cultivators who have mastered their Primordial Spirit, a high-level realm] surged forward like a swarm, their faces alight with wild joy as they rushed towards the myriad Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of significant power].

Upon the Treasure Distribution Rock [the mystical platform where treasures were being distributed], besides the various Near-Immortal Treasures and Heavenly Extraterrestrial Rarities, there were also vast quantities of Primordial Solar [a high cultivation realm, often associated with pure yang energy] rarities.

Among these Primordial Solar rarities, a dazzling array filled their sight: Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [spiritual treasures attuned to Primordial Solar energy], Primordial Solar Precious Pill [elixirs refined with Primordial Solar essence], Primordial Solar Heaven Scripture [scriptures or texts containing profound Primordial Solar cultivation arts], Primordial Solar immortal formations, Primordial Solar Treasure Talisman [powerful talismans imbued with Primordial Solar power], and more. Their grades varied greatly, and their values differed immensely.

The assembly of Primordial Spirit Patriarch [the highest-ranking cultivators whose spiritual core has reached its primordial form] engaged in a frenzied scramble, each swiftly securing a share of the rare treasures.

Among them, some obtained items that satisfied them, their faces alight with wild joy. Others, however, managed only to seize the least valuable of the lower-grade Primordial Solar [the realm of cultivation where one's inner sun reaches its primordial state] treasures, their expressions tinged with regret.

Regardless, after this distribution, every Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a master cultivator who has forged their own unique path to the Primordial Spirit realm] within the Purple Seal Realm [a major realm in the cultivation world] now possessed at least one Primordial Solar rare treasure. This finally lifted them from the awkward predicament where most Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a high-level cultivator] cultivators were still using mere Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of a lower grade].

Beyond the Primordial Solar treasures, the distributed hoard contained countless Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasure [artifacts of the highest grade, specifically potent against demons] and other magical treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators].

Beams of treasure-light shot forth like a meteor shower. A multitude of cultivators soared into the sky, each chasing after the radiant artifacts.

The distribution arrived and concluded with startling swiftness. When the final glimmer faded, a youth approached the base of the Treasure-Distributing Cliff [the legendary precipice from which treasures were scattered].

The youth wore a look of profound disappointment. Merely at the Vital Essence Refinement [the foundational stage of cultivation where one refines their life force] stage, how could he possibly compete with the True Lord [a title for cultivators who have achieved a significant mastery over their chosen path] cultivators? Despite the abundance of treasures, he had failed to secure a single one.

"Alas, as expected, there was nothing for me," he sighed.

Gazing at the now utterly empty Treasure Distribution Rock [the specific stone platform upon which the treasures were laid], the youth let out another sigh, his face etched with dejection.

He shook his head, a bitter smile touching his lips as he muttered to himself, "Of course. The time it took for the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] to deliver those three sermons would be enough for me to undergo Reincarnation [the cycle of death and rebirth] three lifetimes and seven times over."

"The Immortal Fate [the elusive chance to attain immortality] he left behind is something only those True Lords and Path Lords are qualified to even touch."

"A mere Vital Essence Refinement Minor Cultivator like me is probably less than an ant in his eyes. What right do I have to yearn for Immortal Fate?"

The youth let out a bitter, helpless laugh. He cast one last look at the massive stone before him and muttered to himself, "The boulder from the Immortal's treasure division is nothing but a mundane rock."

"But I, Extraordinary Chen, never return from a venture empty-handed. This trip won't be for nothing either."

"I'll carry it home and use it as a Path Platform [a meditation platform for cultivation]."

With those words, the youth bent his knees and tried to lift the colossal stone. For more chapters, visit audi novel.com for the complete novel.

To his utter astonishment, as he strained against its weight, the boulder began to emit faint, shimmering wisps of Primordial One [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] essence.

As the aura of Primordial One unfurled, the massive stone transformed before his eyes, coalescing into a resplendent, radiant treasure cauldron that shot forth and vanished into the core of the youth's body.

"This is…"

Utterly incredulous, the youth stood frozen, his face a mask of stunned disbelief.

Only at this moment did he discover that within his sea of consciousness, a treasure cauldron radiating with the five-colored Primordial One Light had appeared.

"The Primordial One Cauldron," he whispered to himself.

The youth's heart swelled with immense excitement, a flicker of wild joy crossing his face before he swiftly suppressed it. Maintaining a calm expression, he began to make his way down the mountain with quiet steps.

At the same time, within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, Eldrin Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A trace of surprise, followed by a wry smile of resignation, touched his lips. "Thirty-six Demigod and three thousand Path Lord cultivators, all so blinded by the allure of treasures, have allowed a true treasure to fall into the hands of a mere Vital Essence Refinement youth."

"Oh?"

Seated opposite him, Old Granduncle Eternal Profound Chen, hearing this sudden remark, couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "What has happened?"

"I left behind a single Primordial One Cauldron, the sole Immortal Treasure [a treasure of legendary power, often left by ancient immortals] among all the artifacts. This treasure can aid a cultivator in solidifying their foundation. If a Demigod were to obtain it, their future ascension to immortality would be virtually assured."

"To think they all missed it, and it was claimed by a minor cultivator."

Speaking to this point, Eldrin Chen could not help but shake his head slightly.

He gazed towards the direction of Green Chariot Mountain and finally advised, "Since he was able to obtain a True Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact], he must be a man of great Fortune. Old Granduncle should discreetly look after him in the future."

Eternal Profound Chen nodded, stroking his beard as he said, "That lad is also a member of our Chen Clan. This old man will naturally keep an eye on him."

"Then I am at ease."

Eldrin Chen nodded and said no more.

With those words spoken, silence fell between them once more. After a moment of contemplation, Eldrin Chen finally sighed and said, "Perhaps back then, I should not have let you walk this path."

Speaking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh again.

Eternal Profound Chen's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] is anchored within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire. Although he has cultivated a DemigodPath Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivated Dao], he is also trapped by it.

If the present Eternal Profound Chen were to leave the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, the very foundation of his lifelong cultivation would dissipate, causing him to fall back to the Infant Soul Realm. He would likely perish on the spot.

Therefore, even though the current Eldrin Chen possesses the power to ascend to the Immortal Realm with others, he fundamentally has no means to take Old Granduncle with him.

Eternal Profound Chen, however, viewed the matter with equanimity. A faint smile touched his lips as he stroked his long beard and said, "If my spirit were not anchored within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, this old man would have likely turned to dust over ten thousand years ago. How could I have lived to see this day?"

"With over twenty thousand years of lifespan remaining, I am already content."

"Alas."

Eldrin Chen sighed, acknowledging the truth in Eternal Profound Chen's words.

Dropping the matter, Eldrin Chen retrieved two Treasure Box from his sleeve, containing ten pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a rare, high-purity spiritual metal used in offerings and forging] and ten Dragon-Phoenix Path-Forging Pill [an elixir that aids in solidifying one's cultivation path] respectively.

He handed these treasures to Eternal Profound Chen and said, "These are the foundation I leave for the clan. Should any Demigod [a cultivator at the peak of mortality, half-step to immortality] seek to break through to the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the first true realm of immortality], Old Granduncle may bestow them as you see fit."
