Chapter 1207 : Aurora of Ascension

In the past, when Eldrin Chen condensed his Great Luo Nascent Soul [the highest grade of spiritual embryo for ascension to immortality], he successively mastered four Divine Ability [supreme supernatural powers]: the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance, the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao, and the Great Five Elements Primordial Chaos True Qi.

By now, with the exception of the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao, the remaining three Divine Ability had all been cultivated by him to the Immortal Rank Realm [the tier of power corresponding to true immortals].

Having now broken through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the final major stage before becoming a true immortal] and obtained the Five-Colored Aurora [a celestial phenomenon of five-colored light, a rare treasure for cultivation], Eldrin Chen wasted no time. He began to immerse himself in cultivation, focusing on refining this Five-Colored Aurora.

The Five-Colored Aurora originates from the five types of celestial lights that dance upon the Firmament [the boundary layer between the mortal world and the immortal heavens] in the Immortal Domain [the realm of the immortals]. Gathering them is an exceedingly arduous task.

This is because the auroral lights at the edge of the Firmament are diffuse and unconsolidated. To obtain a complete, coherent strand of aurora, one must painstakingly collect it ray by ray—a process both immensely time-consuming and laborious.

Typically, even for an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] at the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the realm of those who have transcended mortality], condensing a single portion of Lower Grade Immortal Rank [the lowest tier of immortal-grade] Five-Colored Aurora would require the dedication of one hundred thousand years.

There is, however, another way. Upon special, famed mountains with Immortal Vein [a ley line of concentrated immortal-grade spiritual energy], an entire strand of aurora might descend. On rare occasions, there might even be an auroral meteor shower, where hundreds or thousands of auroral strands momentarily streak across the sky.

Yet such events count as rare serendipity, occurring perhaps not even once in tens of thousands of years, and the opportunity is fleeting, gone in the blink of an eye.

Returning to the matter at hand, the Five-Colored Aurora is a fickle treasure. It disperses upon contact with water and fades into the void at the slightest mishap. Refining it is no simple feat.

Eldrin Chen dared not be careless. He retrieved the five Immortal Crystal [a purified, high-density form of spiritual energy crystal] that contained the Five-Colored Aurora and immediately enveloped them with his Primordial Chaos Limitless Dharma Power [a divine ability granting boundless, primordial energy]. This chapter appears courtesy of site: audio-novel.com.

His Primordial Chaos Limitless Law had reached the Sky-Reaching Realm [the pinnacle stage of cultivation before true immortality], so suppressing this Five-Colored Aurora [a rare and potent spiritual phenomenon containing the essence of the five elements] was well within his capabilities.

After successfully suppressing the Five-Colored Aurora, Eldrin Chen began the meticulous process of absorbing and refining it. Time flowed by, slipping away unnoticed in this manner.

Thus, time rushed on, and in the blink of an eye, three Millennium [a grand cycle of fate spanning one thousand years] had passed.

On this day, Eldrin Chen opened his eyes from deep meditation. Within his pupils, a flash of five-colored immortal light blossomed for an instant, only to vanish into nothingness just as quickly.

Upon the Immortal Embryo [the nascent, perfected spiritual form of an immortal cultivator] within his sea of consciousness, five resplendent Law Divine Chains [divine constructs embodying fundamental cosmic laws] coiled and spiraled, ultimately coalescing into a single, profoundly mysterious and intricate pattern of Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles of existence].

"It is done!"

Feeling the dazzling runes of his Lifebound Divine Ability [a supreme divine ability intrinsically linked to a cultivator's life and cultivation path] upon the Immortal Embryo, Eldrin Chen slowly let out a breath, a trace of profound satisfaction gracing his features.

Tens of thousands of years since Attaining Immortality and Enlightenment [ascending to the immortal realm and achieving enlightenment], his Lifebound Divine Ability had finally reached its grand completion.

"Though it may not quite rival a World-Opening Divine Ability [a legendary divine ability said to possess the power to cleave open a new world], the gap is not vast."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, having roughly gauged the formidable power of this Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a supreme divine ability manifesting as a radiant light containing the power of the five fundamental elements].

According to his estimation, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance at the Great Perfection Realm possessed roughly seventy to eighty percent of the power of a World-Opening Divine Ability, its might far surpassing that of ordinary Divine Ability techniques.

Most crucially, when personally wielded by Eldrin Chen, its power likely rivaled even that of a World-Opening Divine Ability.

This was because the Five-Colored Divine Radiance was formed from the fusion of five divine lights. When Eldrin Chen channeled it with the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Law, the synergy was perfect, multiplying its destructive force.

"With my Laws of the Dao at Great Perfection, my cultivation towering to the heavens, and a Divine Ability of the Great Vehicle tier, combined with my foundational strength..."

Eldrin Chen paused, his eyes gleaming with a sudden light. "With my current power, even relying solely on this Five-Colored Aurora, I should be unmatched, able to sweep through the Ascension to Immortality Realm without finding a worthy opponent."

A single, peerless technique could conquer the world.

Divine light-type Divine Ability techniques were inherently specialized in countering all forms of protective auras and energies. This Five-Colored Divine Radiance, capable of capturing treasures aligned with the Five Elements, ranked among the pinnacle of such divine light abilities.

Furthermore, such a Divine Ability could be gathered or dispersed at will. Not only was it exceptionally convenient to wield, but it was also exceedingly difficult for enemies to find a method to counter it.

Eldrin Chen felt immense confidence. With this ultimate trump card in hand, even if the Crimson Dragon Ancient Ancestor were to return to life, wielding the Crimson Dragon Heaven-Scorching Sword and clad in the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor, he would assuredly be no match for him.

"It is time to leave seclusion."

Having cultivated a Supreme Great Divine Ability to completion, Eldrin Chen forcibly suppressed the wild joy surging within his heart.

Emerging from his secluded cultivation, he discovered that Lyra Jiang was in deep meditation within the Starry Glazed Realm, seemingly consolidating her own cultivation base.

"Congratulations, my lady, on your breakthrough to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the seventh of nine major stages on the path to Immortality]."

Witnessing Lyra Jiang's breakthrough, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a faint smile. Within the Chen Immortal Clan, aside from himself, the one blessed with the most astonishing natural talent was undoubtedly Lyra Jiang.

Over these past years, while Eldrin Chen's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, Lyra Jiang's progress had been no less swift. During his period of seclusion, she had broken through to the late-stage of the Ascendant Immortal [the seventh of nine major stages on the path to Immortality] realm.

However, her current breakthrough relied solely on her Lunar Immortal Physique [a rare and powerful innate constitution aligned with lunar energies] reaching its Great Completion. Her comprehension of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality] and the maturation of her Dao Fruit [the metaphysical fruit of one's cultivation path, representing one's attained enlightenment] had yet to reach the profound, Heaven-Touching level. Original English translation available at audio . novel . com.

In comparison, Eldrin Chen had not only achieved Great Completion in his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of immense resilience and power], attained Heaven-Touching comprehension of the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Law [a supreme cultivation art governing the five elements and primordial chaos], but had also broken through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the seventh of nine major stages on the path to Immortality], surpassing Lyra Jiang by a noticeable margin.

Even so, to break through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the seventh of nine major stages on the path to Immortality] within a mere few tens of thousands of years was a testament to first-rate, peerless talent.

Following this breakthrough, Lyra Jiang's Immortal Essence [the refined energy core of an Immortal] surged by fifty percent, becoming far more profound and vast than that of an ordinary cultivator at the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the ninth and final major stage before achieving true Immortality]. Henceforth, wielding a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of artifact used by Immortals] should not prove overly taxing for her.

"This breakthrough was within expectations all along."

Hearing Eldrin Chen's congratulations, Lyra Jiang offered a faint smile and spoke, "Sister Verdant Consort is also in seclusion again. It seems she is about to make a breakthrough as well."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Both he and Lyra Jiang possessed Five Spiritual Roots [a supreme spiritual root constitution allowing cultivation of all five elements], enabling their swift advancement to the Seventh Level of Immortal Ascension Realm [the seventh major stage of the Immortal Ascension cultivation realm]. Verdant Consort, being an Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] with only Three Spiritual Roots [a spiritual root constitution attuned to three of the five elements], her breakthrough was well within expectations.

In truth, Verdant Consort had broken through to the Sixth Level of Immortal Ascension Realm [the sixth major stage of the Immortal Ascension cultivation realm] even earlier than Lyra Jiang. However, she had delayed some years to cultivate her Great Perfection Immortal Physique [a legendary, flawless immortal body constitution], which is why her breakthrough came a step later than Lyra's.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen said with a smile, "My lady, you should refine your Lifebound Immortal Treasure [an immortal-grade magical artifact bound to one's life force and soul]. I shall go and stand guard for Verdant Consort."

With those words, he arrived before Verdant Consort's Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for deep meditation and cultivation breakthroughs] and waited quietly for her to emerge.

Indeed, it was not long before Verdant Consort successfully broke through to the Seventh Level of Immortal Ascension Realm and stepped out from the Seclusion Chamber. "She truly succeeded."

Witnessing Verdant Consort's breakthrough, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a look of joy.

He took out the prepared Five Elements Immortal Qi [immortal-grade spiritual energy refined from the essence of the five fundamental elements] and handed it to Verdant Consort, saying, "With your advancement to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the final stages of the Immortal Ascension realm], it is time for you to refine an Immortal Treasure [a treasure of immortal grade, vastly more powerful than mortal artifacts]."

Verdant Consort glanced at it and saw it contained three types of Five Elements Immortal Qi: Flood Water [the essence of the Water element in its most potent, overflowing form], Yi Wood [the essence of the Wood element, representing gentle growth and vitality], and Ji Earth [the essence of the Earth element, representing stability and nourishment]. She shook her head slightly.

"During this seclusion, I fell into a state of sudden enlightenment and comprehended a Great Dao [a supreme, fundamental principle or path of cultivation that governs a vast aspect of reality]." "Oh?"

Eldrin Chen raised a brow in mild surprise, a smile touching his lips as he inquired, "What Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental principles of existence and cultivation] has my lady comprehended?" "The Triune Unity [a profound state of harmony between three fundamental forces]," she replied.

Verdant Consort spoke, her expression turning solemn. "Where Yin and Yang converge, nurturing a single spark of life—that is the essence of my Green Lotus Great Dao [the Great Dao of the Verdant Lotus, a path of profound life and creation]."

As Verdant Consort explained in detail, Eldrin Chen gradually grasped the full extent of her enlightenment.

According to her, the Great Dao she had awakened to was named "Yin-Yang Sows the Green Lotus [the Great Dao where the interplay of Yin and Yang sows the seed of a spiritual lotus]." It was a supreme Great Dao of boundless potential.

The so-called Yin-Yang Sows the Green Lotus required the simultaneous cultivation of three types of Law Power [the power derived from comprehending and wielding fundamental laws of reality]: the Yi Wood [the Law of Nurturing Wood], the Flood Water [the Law of Profound Water], and the Fire-Sun Divine Thunder [the Divine Thunder of the Solar Flame]. This path took the Yi Wood Law as its core, using it to plant and nurture a single Law Green Lotus [a spiritual lotus manifestation born from and embodying a cultivator's comprehension of a Great Dao].
