Chapter 1230 : Founding the Immortal Abode

Unlike cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm, for whom bearing offspring is exceedingly difficult, Golden Core and Purple Mansion Cultivator cultivators still possess a not insignificant chance of siring descendants.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, within a single Millennium, the descendants of this group of cultivators would surpass tens of millions in number, and those among them possessing a Spiritual Root should exceed one million.

For Eldrin Chen, the span of a Millennium was less than the duration of a single one of his secluded cultivation sessions. He could afford to wait patiently; there was no need to expend further effort transporting clansmen.

Having settled his clansmen, he then proceeded to the heart of the Blessed Land, where the Immortal Spring [a sacred spring brimming with immortal-grade spiritual energy] was located.

This Immortal Spring was the very source of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss and the place where its spiritual vitality was most potent.

Beside the Immortal Spring, Eldrin Chen constructed an Immortal Mansion [a grand residence fit for an immortal], which would serve as myself's dwelling within the Blessed Land.

Now, having returned to the Immortal Mansion, he took out the several exceedingly rare Immortal Treasures he had acquired this time.

"Heavenly River Immortal Gold, Ren Water Immortal Marrow, Great Void Condensed Jade."

Gazing at the treasures before him, Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. After a moment of contemplation, he stored away the Ren Water Immortal Marrow and turned his attention to the Heavenly River Immortal Gold.

Among these treasures, the time to utilize the Ren Water Immortal Marrow had not yet come. For him at present, only the Heavenly River Immortal Gold and the Great Void Condensed Jade could swiftly augment his strength. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio~novel.com.

However, among these two treasures, the Great Void Condensed Jade [a legendary jade of immense density and power] is an World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of the eighth rank, capable of shaping worlds], making it exceedingly difficult for him to refine with his current cultivation.

In contrast, the Heavenly River Immortal Gold [a supreme-grade immortal metal] is a Supreme Grade Immortal Gold [the highest quality of immortal metal], a treasure he currently has the confidence to refine.

"A pity that once this Heavenly River Flood Water Sword [a sword imbued with the power of celestial floods] ascends, I will no longer be able to activate the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords Union [a devastating dual-sword fusion technique],"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Although the might of the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union [a fusion technique for twin swords] is not inferior to a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade], that combined power is ultimately difficult to sustain; in practical use, it still cannot compare to a supreme-grade Immortal Sword [a sword forged for immortal combat].

Having settled his thoughts, Eldrin Chen felt no further hesitation. He immediately began channeling his Mana [the refined spiritual energy of a cultivator] to refine this Heavenly River Immortal Gold.

This Heavenly River Immortal Gold is a Supreme Grade Immortal Gold, and generally, only Ancient Ancestors [venerable, high-ranking cultivators] at the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a realm just below that of an Earth Immortal] have the confidence to refine it.

Eldrin Chen's cultivation was only at the Seventh Level of Immortal Ascension Realm [the seventh tier of the Immortal Ascension realm]. Fortunately, after his Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a profound cultivation art of chaos and boundlessness] reached completion, its potency was already comparable to Rule Power [the power to command fundamental laws of reality].

Coupled with his exceptionally profound and vast Mana, he was now barely capable of refining this Heavenly River Immortal Gold.

Even so, the process of tempering this Heavenly River Immortal Gold was excruciatingly arduous. It consumed a full three Millenniums [periods of one thousand years] of effort before he finally succeeded in merging it into the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword.

"The final step."

Watching the Immortal Gold [a legendary metal of supreme purity and power] fuse into the Immortal Sword, Eldrin Chen's expression grew one of utmost solemnity.

Infusing the Immortal Gold into the Immortal Sword would vastly enhance its fundamental substance. However, for it to truly ascend into an Immortal Treasure [a supreme artifact of immortal-grade power], the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword needed to give birth to Rule Patterns [the fundamental, self-sustaining patterns of cosmic law] within its core.

Generally, to accomplish this step, one must have mastered Rule Power [the ability to command and manifest fundamental cosmic laws].

Only an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and attained immortality] who has mastered Rule Power can fuse the innate laws they command into their Immortal Sword, allowing them to interweave ceaselessly with the Laws of the Dao [the primordial principles of existence] already within the blade, culminating in its final metamorphosis.

Eldrin Chen had not yet mastered Rule Power, but he possessed a breath of Primordial Essence [the undifferentiated, foundational energy from which all creation sprang].

Now, Eldrin Chen drew a slow, deep breath, then exhaled nine wisps of Acquired Primordial Violet Qi [a supreme, acquired spiritual energy of violet hue, born from primordial essence].

The nine strands of Acquired Primordial Violet Qi swirled and danced, finally merging into the Immortal Sword. There, they were refined and transformed by the sigils of Laws of the Dao embedded within the Immortal Gold.

Time lost meaning. Then, with a clear, resonant sword chime, Eldrin Chen perceived with perfect clarity—a new rule had been conceived and birthed within the heart of the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword.

"It is done!"

Eldrin Chen's heart surged with wild elation. Gazing at the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword before him, he could not suppress a flicker of intense excitement.

For now, the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword had transformed into a deep azure Immortal Sword brimming with glacial cold.

"A Supreme Grade Immortal Sword!"

Overwhelmed with joy, Eldrin Chen swiftly drew the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword into his dantian [the core energy center in a cultivator's body]. Sensing the power contained within, his delight swelled into rapturous frenzy.

Having ascended to a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure, the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword had given birth to a nascent Rudimentary Rule [a fundamental law of the cosmos]. Not only had its might increased dramatically, but it had also gained a wondrous, selective utility.

Eldrin Chen could perceive with crystalline clarity that as this supreme-grade Immortal Sword continuously breathed, tempered, and refined itself, the Immortal Essence [the purified energy of an immortal] within his own body grew ever more pristine and concentrated.

At this rate, within ten thousand years, the refinement of his Immortal Essence would advance by a great leap, surpassing the limits of the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm and brushing against the domain of a Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has opened their primordial origin].

"Legends speak of beings who wield such rules, their Mana [magical energy] so exquisitely pure and profoundly vast that they can perform World Creation [the act of creating a minor world] through sheer, earth-shaking power."

"Now it seems, with the aid of opening my Heaven Immortal origin, I may yet achieve that very feat."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of his own immeasurably profound reserves of Mana.

Tempered by the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, his Immortal Essence [the foundational energy of an Immortal] was already far more potent and profound than that of his peers. Should this immense Mana [the spiritual power cultivated by a being] be refined into the Heaven Immortal [a foundational stage for celestial beings] origin, its power would surely become even more earth-shattering.

Perhaps by then, driven by such astonishing Immortal Essence, Eldrin Chen could casually unleash a single Immortal Rank Divine Abilities [supreme techniques of the Immortal realm] and its force would rival the Great Vehicle Divine Ability [a pinnacle class of divine techniques] of an ordinary Immortal.

"And that is not all,"

he murmured, sensing the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword within him, his gaze growing ever more profound.

This Heavenly River Flood Water Sword had given birth to Rule Power [the power to command fundamental laws of reality]. As Eldrin Chen's Lifebound Immortal Sword [an immortal-grade weapon bound to its wielder's life and soul], its Rudimentary Rule [the nascent comprehension of a cosmic law] served as an invaluable reference for him.

With this supreme-grade Immortal Sword as his guide, Eldrin Chen was confident that within ten thousand years, he could elevate his own Profound Nether True Water Law to the Realm of Rules [a state of mastery over a specific cosmic law].

"A supreme-grade Immortal Sword... the rules of World Creation [the fundamental principles governing the birth and structure of worlds]," he mused.

"My Great Dao [the ultimate, all-encompassing Path of cultivation] shall soon advance another step."

Eldrin Chen whispered to himself, a trace of profound satisfaction coloring his expression.

He suppressed his wandering thoughts, preparing to delve back into contemplating the Rule Power, when suddenly his brow furrowed slightly. His gaze sharpened, turning towards the depths of the Immortal Spring [a celestial spring brimming with immortal-grade spiritual energy].

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had sensed something.

After the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword had given birth to its Rule Power [the fundamental laws governing reality], Eldrin Chen had faintly perceived a trace of a subtle Rule Power deep within this Immortal Spring [a sacred spring brimming with immortal energy].

"Could it be that within this Immortal Spring, there lies another rare treasure?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. Without hesitation, he strode to the edge of the Immortal Spring and activated his Immortal Pupil [a mystical eye technique] to scrutinize its depths.

As he observed, he discovered that the interior of the Immortal Spring shimmered with a radiant light. Within it, one after another, Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [artifacts of the highest immortal grade] seemed to be in the process of being nurtured.

Yet, at the very core of the Immortal Spring, a subtle spatial Rule Power enveloped the area.

"Spatial Rule Power?"

Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered. Confident in his formidable skills, he only hesitated for a moment before taking a decisive step forward, flying directly into the heart of that spatial Rule Power.

This spatial Rule Power did not seem to seal off the Void [the empty space between realms]. With a single step, Eldrin Chen passed through it. When he looked back, he found himself within a boundless, pitch-black expanse of the Void.

This was an expanse of endless darkness, a Void [a profound state of emptiness and potential]. The four directions stretched into boundless obscurity, the eight points of the compass were hollow and desolate. Only at its very heart did a hazy, luminous sphere blaze with a radiant inner light.

The moment Eldrin Chen beheld that sphere of light, a wave of profound, instinctive understanding washed over him. He sensed the origin of this treasure through some ineffable connection and could not help but murmur to himself.

"An Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the primal forces of heaven and earth], the Abyssal Pearl."

In that instant, Eldrin Chen comprehended the full nature and origin of this object.

This was a treasure born from the destiny of Eldrin, the Abyss, the Innate Spiritual Treasure known as the "Abyssal Pearl."

The waters of the nine wilds, the celestial currents of the Milky Way, the seas of three thousand realms—all converged into this abyss for the sole purpose of nurturing this singular entity.

When the waters of the Western Court Divine Abyss Sea [a mythical, boundless ocean] finally ran dry, transforming into the mountain ranges of the Great Wilderness [the primordial, untamed lands], that would be the moment this "Abyssal Pearl" completed its formation and emerged into the world.
