Chapter 1219 : Divine Armor and Twin Swords

The two were bosom friends of many years, and Verdant Consort naturally understood Lyra Jiang's intentions.

Over these years, Verdant Consort had comprehended the Yin-Yang Azure Lotus Dao [a profound cultivation art based on the harmony of opposing forces]. With the Crimson-Azure Twin Dragon Swords [a pair of legendary swords imbued with the power of twin dragons] in hand, her offensive prowess was on par with Eldrin Chen's Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of divine swords capable of cleaving heaven and earth].

As for her Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators], she possessed the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform [a mystical platform that enhances spiritual energy absorption and purity]. Her Immortal Essence [the foundational life force of an immortal] was several times more profound than that of her peers in the Immortal [a transcendent state of being beyond mortality] realm. Her only shortcoming had been a lack of a supreme defensive treasure.

Henceforth, with the Crimson Flame Golden Scale Armor [a divine armor forged from golden scales and crimson flame] protecting her, Verdant Consort could unleash the full offensive might of her twin swords without reservation. Her combat power was likely elevated by more than double. From then on, even if three to five ordinary Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Immortal Ascension realm] experts joined forces, they would likely be no match for her.

Watching his two consorts divide the treasures, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a faint smile. He then spoke, "Our gains from this journey are not insignificant. Let us retreat into the mountains for a period of secluded cultivation."

"Once Six Stars Immortal achieves his breakthrough, we must still investigate the Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated spiritual water energy] within this Abyssal Sea [a vast and profound oceanic realm]."

Hearing this, the women all nodded in agreement. Lyra Jiang said with a smile, "A top-grade Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated spiritual water energy]—if we can locate it, the pressure on our future cultivation will likely be greatly alleviated."

With this matter settled for the time being, Eldrin Chen settled into a state of peaceful cultivation.

His comprehension of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality] had reached perfection. Without the aid of a Law Stele [a mystical stele inscribed with cosmic laws], attempting to advance further and deduce Rule Power [the power to command and shape fundamental cosmic rules] would undoubtedly be a task far from accomplished overnight.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen did not continue his attempts to deduce rules. Instead, he focused on consolidating his gains while refining his own cultivation arts and Divine Ability [supernatural powers granted by profound cultivation].

With Eldrin Chen's current comprehension of the Laws of the Dao, deducing cultivation arts and Divine Ability was as natural as water flowing downhill. Before long, he had advanced the Primordial Chaos Ancient Scripture to the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality realm.

Not only that, he also advanced his Lifebound Divine Ability 'Primordial Chaos True Qi' and the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to the Great Vehicle stage.

Next, he only needed to gather the Five Elements Thunder Source and the Five Sources Immortal Marrow to cultivate these two Lifebound Divine Ability to the Great Perfection Realm.

As he had not yet gathered the required treasures, these two Divine Ability could not progress further for now. However, his fourth Lifebound Divine Ability, 'Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao', yielded some success, having been cultivated to the Ascension to Immortality Realm.

Upon mastering this Divine Ability, Eldrin Chen's Heavenly Secrets Dao made significant strides. Henceforth, the likelihood of him being plotted against by others had diminished considerably.

"With the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao achieved, let me perform a divination."

Seeing the Divine Ability mastered, Eldrin Chen immediately performed a joyful finger-calculation. In an instant, his brow furrowed slightly as he gazed towards the southeast.

"No sooner have I mastered it than I divine auspicious tidings."

A smile touched Eldrin Chen's lips as he emerged from his Cultivation Cave and summoned Alistair Lu. "Disciple, in three months' time, your martial uncle Six Stars will break through to the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality."

"Go to the Clan Treasury and select a congratulatory gift to send to him."

Thalion Chen paused for a brief moment, then bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple will respectfully obey the master's command."

This time, Eldrin Chen's calculations proved correct. Three months later, Six Stars Immortal emerged from seclusion, his cultivation having broken through in one fell swoop to the realm of the Ninth Level of Ascension to Immortality [the penultimate stage before achieving true immortality].

After his breakthrough, Six Stars Immortal merely took a short time to consolidate his newfound power before hastening with great urgency to the summit of Verdant Chariot Mountain.

Upon meeting, Six Stars Immortal smiled and declared, "Now that my cultivation has advanced, it is time to make plans for that Underground Water Vein [a subterranean channel of potent spiritual water energy]."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod, then inquired, "Since it is a top-grade Immortal Rank Water Vein, I fear it will not be easily dealt with."

"We must make further preparations. If necessary, we can summon the other immortals of the Immortal Alliance to join forces."

"There is no need for haste."

Six Stars Immortal shook his head, then continued with a smile, "Let our two families join hands first. We shall locate the Water Vein, enter to investigate its depths, and only then decide our next course of action."

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod. He summoned Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort, then followed Six Stars Immortal deep into the heart of the Abyssal Sea.

They journeyed northward, flying for several days before finally halting before a stretch of sea.

"It is within this region."

Six Stars Immortal stopped before this expanse of water and spoke, "Last time, using my Six Ren Astral Disc [a divination artifact shaped like a disc and inscribed with celestial patterns] for calculation, I roughly pinpointed the location of the Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-element spiritual energy] to this area."

"Unfortunately, due to insufficient cultivation, I was unable to locate it definitively."

"Oh?" Eldrin Chen nodded, then frowned slightly at the brow. "This time, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator], what are your chances of success?" This chapter is part of a larger work available at site: audio-novel.com.

"Now with your assistance, and my own cultivation having achieved a breakthrough, I am one hundred percent confident."

Six Stars Immortal was brimming with confidence. He drew from his sleeve a resplendent star chart disc and declared, "Fellow Daoist, lend me your strength."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen nodded, channeling his Primordial Chaos Limitless Dharma Power [a supreme cultivation art granting boundless and formless spiritual power] into the artifact. The Six Ren Astral Disc shimmered, its internal needle spinning wildly before finally settling and pointing in a definitive direction.

Seeing this, Six Stars Immortal [a powerful immortal master] said with delight, "Follow me."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately followed Six Stars Immortal forward. They flew for an unknowable length of time, finally halting only when they reached the profound depths of the ocean floor.

"This is the place."

Gazing at the seabed before him, Six Stars Immortal felt a surge of joy in his heart, yet his expression also revealed a trace of solemn gravity.

Before them lay a fathomless oceanic trench. Boundless Water Essence Power [the fundamental spiritual energy of the water element] from all around surged into this abyssal chasm, its ultimate destination a complete mystery.

"Could this... be the legendary location of Eldrin, the Abyss?"

Eldrin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to suppress the question.

Legends spoke of a bottomless valley within the sea, the gathering place of all waters—this was said to be where Eldrin, the Abyss resided.

The ancient text Liezi's Questions of Tang [a classic Daoist philosophical work] once recorded: 'East of the Bo Sea, beyond measure in billions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], lies a great chasm, a veritable bottomless valley. Its depths have no end, and its name is Eldrin, the Abyss. The waters from the eight directions and nine wilds, the currents of the Heavenly River [the Milky Way], all pour into it, yet it neither increases nor diminishes.'

Eldrin, the Abyss signifies the terminus of all things, the final end and ultimate limit of existence. It also carries the meaning of 'the abyss of ten thousand Kalpas-time [an immense cosmic cycle in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years].'

In the beginning of the cosmos, from the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] all things were born. Through myriad tribulations, they return to the Eldrin, the Abyss [a conceptual state of ultimate dissolution and return to nothingness], and from there, back to nothingness. It is from this profound concept that Eldrin Chen derived his Daoist title.

The others were also taken aback. Six Stars Immortal could not help but draw a sharp breath and said.

"The place where all waters converge, the ultimate depth where the vast sea ends... This indeed matches the legendary description of the Abyss of the Abyssal End [the legendary abyss where all waters of the world ultimately drain and vanish].

"This abyss gathers the waters of the entire sea. No wonder it could nurture a supreme-grade Immortal Rank [the highest rank of spiritual veins, capable of supporting immortal-level cultivation] Water Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated water-attributed spiritual energy]."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. As he stepped forward to approach the abyss, he felt an overwhelming suction force surging from its depths.

Even an existence at the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul [the pinnacle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, just below the Immortal realm] would find it difficult to escape if they ventured in recklessly.

Given Eldrin Chen's current cultivation level, he still felt considerable pressure. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "The phenomena within this abyss are too profound. Unless a Formation [a structured array that manipulates spiritual energy for defense, attack, or other effects] is deployed to suppress the power of the Eldrin, the Abyss, not even an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and attained immortality] could easily enter or leave."

"It cannot be suppressed," Six Stars Immortal stated with utmost gravity. "This Abyss of the Abyssal End continuously draws in the waters of the vast sea. To oppose it is to oppose the very power of heaven and earth itself. Any formation would ultimately be overwhelmed and shattered." Your portal to cultivation novels: audi0-n0vel.c0m.
