Chapter 1197 : Mending the Laws of Heaven

"You flatter me."

Heaven Flame Patriarch spoke with a smile, yet a profound turbulence churned deep within his eyes.

He had given the damaged immortal material to Eldrin Chen for repair, intending merely for Eldrin to observe the fragmented rules within, hoping to broaden his perspective and experience.

He never imagined that Eldrin Chen would actually deduce from the broken patterns, continuously extrapolating until he restored the fragmented rule inscriptions, completing the repair of this Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure.

This was truly astonishing. The ability to mend fragmented rule patterns proved that Eldrin Chen's comprehension of the rules was Force Extremely profound. Barring unforeseen circumstances, he would inevitably grasp Rule Power [the power to command and shape the fundamental laws of reality] in the future.

At this thought, Heaven Flame Patriarch could not help but reveal a faint smile, stroking his long beard with satisfaction. "He is a close friend of my junior descendant," he said. "He possesses some talent."

With that, Heaven Flame Patriarch took out another piece of damaged immortal material and tossed it to Eldrin Chen. "The capable bear more burdens. Share some of this old man's load."

Eldrin Chen accepted the material, his face alight with joy. "My gratitude, Patriarch."

At this moment, an unparalleled surge of delight filled Eldrin Chen's heart.

Having just mended the rule patterns, Eldrin Chen not only felt a glimmer of enlightenment regarding Rule Power, but his own Path Principles [the fundamental truths and laws that form the core of a cultivator's chosen Dao] had also advanced by leaps and bounds. This chapter appears courtesy of www . audio-novel.com.

He had a profound sense that his Primordial One Limitless Path Principles were drawing ever closer to a breakthrough into the Sky-Touching Realm [the realm where one's cultivation begins to touch the fundamental laws of heaven and earth].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately began to take over the immortal materials, continuing to observe and deduce the incomplete patterns of law contained within them.

Thus, time flowed like a river, and in the blink of an eye, several thousand years had passed.

By the time Eldrin Chen had repaired the final piece of supreme-grade immortal material, he realized the restoration of the World-Ferrying Ancient Ark [a legendary vessel capable of traversing the void between worlds] was nearing its conclusion.

The damaged components of the World-Ferrying Ancient Ark had either been repaired or reforged by the assembled immortals. Now, the various Earth Immortal Patriarch [patriarchs who have attained the Earth Immortal realm, a high level of cultivation] were performing the final assembly.

At this stage, Eldrin Chen could not intervene. He simply observed quietly as the Patriarch mended the ancient vessel, his mind already calculating the gains from this endeavor.

Throughout the restoration of the Chaos Ancient Ship [another name for the World-Ferrying Ancient Ark, hinting at its primordial origins], Eldrin Chen had personally forged or repaired several dozen components.

Most of these were merely ordinary High-Grade Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts], but among them were five precious pieces of supreme-grade immortal material that he had restored.

The process of repairing these five supreme-grade materials had yielded immense rewards for Eldrin Chen. His comprehension of Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths that underpin a cultivator's chosen Dao] and the rules governing Spiritual Object [objects imbued with or containing spiritual energy] had undergone a qualitative transformation.

He felt a conviction that, upon returning to his clan and entering secluded cultivation for ten thousand years, he could advance each of his Five Elements Primordial One Limitless Path Principles [his specific cultivation laws encompassing the five elemental forces] to the Sky-Touching Realm.

"Merely the leftover materials from repairing an ancient vessel, yet they yield such a profound harvest?"

Eldrin Chen's heart was filled with immense astonishment. His gaze deepened as he looked upon this World-Ferrying Ancient Ark [a legendary vessel capable of traversing the cosmos] that blotted out the sky.

A vague intuition stirred within him: if he could fully comprehend the secrets of this World-Ferrying Ancient Ark, it might be possible to forge a peerless Celestial Immortal Great Power [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to the celestial realm].

Upon careful reflection, this seemed entirely plausible. This ancient World-Ferrying Ancient Ark was forged by the combined efforts of at least several Celestial Immortal [immortals who have attained the celestial realm] and tens of thousands of Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality].

Within its structure lay not only the mysteries of cosmic laws but also the power of Innate Path Principle [the fundamental principles of the universe, woven into creation itself] infused by those Celestial Immortal Great Power. To fully unravel its secrets would indeed be a path to soaring ascension.

However, those Path Principle [the underlying laws governing reality] of the Celestial Immortal realm, representing the supreme wonder of the Innate Path Patterns [the primordial patterns that form the fabric of existence], would be extraordinarily difficult to penetrate.

Eldrin Chen shook his head, dismissing the thought for now. He lifted his gaze once more to observe the various Patriarch [venerable leaders of cultivation sects or clans] as they continued their work on the ancient vessel.

Before long, the repairs on the ancient ship neared their completion.

As the Patriarch finished restoring the World-Ferrying Ancient Ark, the Old Man Canglan [an ancient and powerful cultivator] appeared silently before the assembled group.

He cast an appraising eye over the World-Ferrying Ancient Ark, then nodded with satisfaction. "You have all contributed significantly to the restoration of this ancient ark," he said with a faint smile.

"This old man once promised generous rewards, and now is the time to fulfill that promise."

As his words fell, Old Man Canglan flicked his sleeve, scattering hundreds of streams of light. Each Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] present received one.

Eldrin Chen also caught a stream of light. Opening it, he discovered within three Immortal Pill [a pill of immense power used by Immortals for cultivation] brimming with a majestic aura.

"Sky-Piercing Pills,"

he murmured inwardly, a flicker of surprise crossing Eldrin Chen's eyes.

The Sky-Piercing Pill was a Supreme Precious Pill [a pinnacle-grade pill of extraordinary rarity and power] of Upper Grade Immortal Rank [a high tier within the Immortal cultivation hierarchy]. It could aid a cultivator in breaking through the bottleneck of the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [the final stage before reaching the peak of the Ascendant Immortal realm], making its value truly inestimable. The complete novel can be found at audio-novel dot com.

Eldrin Chen was already at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm. With these Sky-Piercing Pill, he estimated he could attempt a breakthrough to the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm [the peak stage of the Ascendant Immortal realm] within ten thousand years.

Moreover, there were three pills. Eldrin Chen reckoned one would suffice for his own breakthrough, leaving the remaining two for Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort.

"It seems Old Man Canglan's rewards are tailored to the individual,"

Eldrin Chen thought, storing the Immortal Pill away. He promptly bowed alongside the other Immortals. "We thank you, Senior, for your generous gifts."

"Merely a few Immortal Artifact [enchanted objects of immense power used by immortals], nothing to be overly concerned about."

For a being of Old Man Canglan's stature, a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to the celestial realm], producing several hundred Seventh Rank Immortal Artifact was a trivial matter.

He waved a dismissive hand, a gentle smile gracing his lips as he spoke. "The ancient vessel is repaired, and this old man shall now embark on his journey home."

"Before we part, allow me to expound upon the Dao one final time. Consider it my last gift to you all."

Though each of the assembled immortals had attained the realm of True Immortal [a foundational immortal cultivation stage], his words stirred a palpable excitement within them.

Even the venerable Earth Immortal Patriarchs [patriarchs who have mastered the earthly immortal realm] could scarcely contain their eagerness. They bowed deeply in unison, respectfully urging Patriarch Canglan to discourse upon the Great Path [the supreme and fundamental principles of cultivation and existence].

Without further delay, the Canglan Patriarch settled himself upon the ground, assuming a casual seated posture.

In the mere moment it took for him to sit, the assembled company felt the heavens and earth invert, mountains and rivers shifting before their eyes.

When their senses cleared, they found themselves transported across boundless void, arriving amidst a cluster of Celestial Palace of Immortal Towers [magnificent palaces and towers that reside in the celestial realms].

This realm of immortal towers was shrouded in ethereal mists. Amidst the endless, drifting fog stood majestic halls that seemed woven from Vast Righteousness's very essence. Directly before them, one particularly awe-inspiring celestial palace rose, immutable and grand.

Upon that distant, towering Immortal Palace [a celestial abode of supreme beings], Old Man Canglan sat aloft upon the cloud peaks, clad in robes of deep azure. Behind him, layers of violet divine halos shimmered, radiating a glorious light that illuminated the Myriad Heavens [the countless celestial realms and dimensions].

Eldrin Chen stared, utterly transfixed, his heart filled with an inexpressible shock.

The Old Man Canglan before him was no longer the unassuming elder he once seemed. Instead, he resembled a peerless Immortal King [a sovereign ruler among celestial immortals] standing firm within the Nine Heavens Above [the highest and most sacred celestial realms].

He merely sat there in meditation, motionless. Yet, as the faintest glimmers of Path Principle [the fundamental laws and truths that govern all existence] light cascaded down, bubbles of Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation] were cleaved asunder.

In that fleeting moment, it seemed as if myriad great worlds were being born and extinguished.

Those countless rays of Path Principle light split the very dimensions of the Myriad Heavens, descending into the depths of the void to illuminate the myriad worlds within.

"Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] share the longevity of Heaven and Earth," Earth Immortal Patriarch [a patriarch who has attained the Earth Immortal realm] can 'World-Opening [the act of creating or stabilizing a new world or realm],' and Celestial Immortal Great Power [a supreme being who has ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] can even 'illuminate the Myriad Heavens.'"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, suddenly recalling his earliest understanding of the Immortal realm from his youth.

He had once thought that 'illuminating the Myriad Heavens' was merely mortal admiration for the Celestial Immortal Great Power. He never imagined it was a literal description of that very state.

So it was true. Celestial Immortal Great Power truly could illuminate the Myriad Heavens. They had long since transcended the endless Path Principles [the fundamental laws governing cultivation and reality] and even the rules themselves, touching upon the profound power of the Path Principle that governs all.
