Chapter 1231 : The Pearl of Primordial Waters

"Only when the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea [the vast sea of the Western Essence and Divine Abyss] dries up and transforms into the mountain ranges of the Great Wasteland [the primordial and desolate continent], will this Returning Abyss Pearl [the Pearl of the Returning Abyss] finally take form."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of profound understanding finally dawning upon him regarding the origins of this Abyss of the Returning Abyss [the fathomless chasm known as the Returning Abyss].

Neither the Abyss of the Returning Abyss [the fathomless chasm known as the Returning Abyss] nor this Water Vein Blessed Land [a land blessed by concentrated water spiritual veins] were born into existence without cause.

Their very existence is solely because of the presence of this Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primal forces of heaven and earth], which gathered and condensed boundless Water Essence Power [the fundamental power of water essence]. Even the so-called Blessed Land [a land of concentrated spiritual energy and fortune] is merely a place that came into being by being touched by a mere fraction of its lingering grace.

Having cultivated to his current realm, Eldrin Chen's knowledge had long become vast and profound. His understanding of the myriad divine objects between heaven and earth had also grown increasingly deep.

As he understood it, the treasures of heaven and earth were categorized into the following grades: magical treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators], Spiritual Treasure [treasures imbued with spiritual nature], Primordial Solar Spiritual Object [objects containing the essence of the primordial sun], Postnatal Spiritual Object [objects formed after the creation of the world], World-Opening Heavenly God Object [divine objects from the era when the world was formed], Innate Treasure [treasures born from the primal chaos], Innate Spiritual Object [spiritual objects of the Innate realm], Innate Supreme Treasure [the supreme treasures of the Innate realm], and Chaos Spiritual Artifact [artifacts born from the primordial chaos itself].

Among these grades, magical treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators] refer to those of the first to fourth ranks. Such treasures possess little to no spiritual sentience; their awareness is minimal and they lack a consciousness of their own.

Spiritual Treasure [treasures imbued with spiritual nature] are the Fifth Rank spiritual rarities used by Infant Soul True Lord [cultivators at the Infant Soul stage, known as True Lords]. Within them, a thread of divinity can be nurtured, and they may even give birth to a Treasure Spirit [the sentient spirit of a treasure] comparable to a cultivator, possessing its own unique consciousness and spiritual sense.

Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [treasures containing the essence of the primordial sun] have undergone a reversion to Primordial Solar [the state of the primordial sun]. These belong to the category of Sixth Rank Primordial Solar spiritual rarities. They contain a wisp of Primordial Solar Energy [the fundamental energy of the primordial sun] and are considered among the most supreme wonders in the mortal world.

The Seventh Rank Immortal Artifact [artifacts of the Immortal rank] grade of Postnatal Spiritual Object [objects formed after the creation of the world] refers to immortal-rank rarities. For instance, the various Spiritual Treasure [treasures imbued with spiritual nature] of Eldrin Chen, and even Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal treasures], all still fall within the scope of Postnatal Spiritual Object [objects formed after the creation of the world].

Artifacts of the Earth Immortal level, specifically those of the eighth rank, are known as World-Opening Heavenly God Object [divine artifacts born from the primordial energies of a newly formed world].

Artifacts of this rank possess the power to World-Opening [cleave open and establish a new world or realm]. They are typically born within a newly formed heaven and earth, having fused with the legendary World-Opening Energy [the primordial creative force released during the formation of a cosmos], rendering them profoundly mysterious and potent.

Above the World-Opening Heavenly God Object lies the Ninth Rank Immortal Artifact [the pinnacle grade of immortal treasures].

The Ninth Rank Immortal Artifact transcends the World-Opening Heavenly God Object. Having passed through the World-Opening phase, it further integrates a more astonishing form of Innate Energy [energy that is inherent and uncreated, existing from the very beginning of the cosmos]. Thus, it is revered as an Innate Rare Treasure or simply an Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the fundamental laws of existence itself].

Such treasures have transcended the Mortal Dust [the mundane, mortal world]. Born at the very dawn of World-Opening, fused with Innate Energy, and internally nurturing the power of Path Principle [the fundamental laws or principles of the Great Dao], their value is truly staggering.

The vast majority of Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful cultivators who have ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] may only possess two or three Ninth Rank Innate Magical Treasure in their entire lifetimes.

Yet the Returning Abyss Pearl before Eldrin Chen's eyes was something that transcended even the Innate Magical Treasure—it was an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of even higher order, embodying a fragment of the Great Dao's indestructible essence].

Within such a treasure resides a strand of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a luminous essence of unbreakable spiritual law], which serves as a vessel for the Great Path [the supreme, underlying principle of all existence] within the Mortal Dust. Its power surpasses the ultimate limits of the Ninth Rank, reaching the level of the tenth rank.

Eldrin Chen's understanding of this was limited, but from what he knew, such treasures were objects of desperate longing for countless Celestial Immortal and even for Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the legendary Golden Immortals who encompass all phenomena].

Within the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain, treasures of this rank could be counted on one's fingers. Even those supreme Ancient Immortal who had transcended the Celestial Immortal limits by surviving Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of destruction and renewal] might not possess a single Lower Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Above Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial laws of heaven and earth], there exist the Innate Supreme Treasure [the rarest and most supreme category of innate treasures], and even the legendary Chaos Spiritual Artifact [artifacts born from the primordial chaos before creation]. However, Eldrin Chen possessed little understanding of such divine objects.

This was because Innate Supreme Treasure were far too rare, treasures even the most supreme Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the highest echelon of immortal cultivators] dreamed of possessing. It was likely that even the Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [the supreme patriarchs who have comprehended a Great Path] of the Human Race, the Immortality Divine Sovereign [Divine Sovereigns who have mastered the power of Immortality] of the Divine Clan, or the peerless Heavenly Emperor [the supreme emperors of the demonic heavens] of the Demon Race might not possess more than a handful of such treasures.

As for Chaos Spiritual Artifact, they were mere legends. Eldrin Chen had only heard of the famed might of the 'Chaos Cauldron'.

In ancient times, the Purple Seal Immortal Lord was born embracing the 'Chaos Cauldron'. Cultivating for a mere eight million years, he became powerful enough to challenge the Path Ancestor Immortal Sage realm. This alone revealed the unimaginable supremacy of such treasures.

"Whether it be Innate Supreme Treasure or Chaos Spiritual Artifact, they are all far beyond my reach,"

"But this Innate Spiritual Treasure before me is right within my grasp."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, his heart filled with profound emotion.

This Returning Abyss Pearl before him was the physical vessel for the Great Path of Returning Abyss [the Great Dao of the Returning Abyss] within the Mortal Dust [the mortal realm]. Born in response to cosmic destiny, its emergence would make it a treasure coveted by countless millions of Immortal [immortal cultivators], a true Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Yet, the power of such a supreme treasure was a thousandfold greater than that of an ordinary Innate Magical Treasure [a generic term for innate treasures], and the price for its birth was equally immense.

It was still in the process of gestation. To be born, it would need to drain the entire Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea [the Divine Abyss Sea of Western Essence] dry.

Only when the waters of the three thousand seas have all flowed into the Returning Abyss [a legendary abyssal location], and the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea [the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea] transforms into the 'Boundless Great Wasteland Mountain Range' [the Boundless Great Wasteland Mountain Range], will this Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth] fully emerge into the world.

Even so, an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth] still in the process of gestation represents a heaven-defying Opportunity and Fortune [a rare chance and stroke of fate] for Eldrin Chen.

If Eldrin Chen could witness with his own eyes the formation and maturation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth], it would bring immense benefits to his future cultivation journey.

The Great Path [the fundamental principles of the cosmos] and Rule Power [the power of cosmic laws] contained within this Returning Abyss Pearl would be of great assistance to Eldrin Chen in his future comprehension of Path Principle [the principles underlying cosmic laws] and in his attempt to reverse his cultivation to attain the Innate [the primordial, innate state] and break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of Celestial Immortals].

"So that's how it is," Eldrin murmured, understanding dawning upon him.

At this moment, Eldrin Chen also understood why a piece of Void-Condensing Jade [a rare jade that condenses spatial energies] had been born within the Water Vein Blessed Land [a blessed land formed around a spiritual water vein]. Visit audio-novel`com to enjoy the complete series.

The Returning Abyss Pearl contained the power of Spatial Path Principle [the cosmic laws governing space]. It was only natural that a mere fraction of its residual aura, leaking out, could give birth to a World-Opening Grade [a grade associated with the power to open worlds] spatial treasure.

Contemplating this, a look of deep concentration settled on Eldrin Chen's face. "An Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth] still in gestation... could I attempt to refine it?"

Eldrin Chen whispered to himself, a flicker of desire stirring in his heart.

If it were a fully formed Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth], one would need at least Late Celestial Immortal Realm [the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm] cultivation to even attempt its refinement.

However, this Returning Abyss Pearl before his eyes was still in the process of gestation, having not yet birthed its own consciousness. Perhaps an attempt could be made.

"An attempt can be made."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then without further hesitation, he severed a wisp of his soul power and attempted to fuse it into the Returning Abyss Pearl.

As if sensing the intrusion of an external divine sense, the Returning Abyss Pearl emitted a hazy radiance. Waves of Rule Power enveloped the void, actually blocking Eldrin Chen's divine sense.

"It won't work."

Seeing that he could not refine this Innate Spiritual Treasure, Eldrin Chen felt an immense wave of regret wash over him.

Yet, a moment later, he remembered something. He immediately expelled a mouthful of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme foundational energy of creation], allowing it to merge with his divine sense, transforming into a strand of divine sense imbued with a profound violet luminescence. Only then did he direct this divine sense to fly towards the Returning Abyss Pearl.

As expected, sensing the aura of the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, the Returning Abyss Pearl acted as if it had obtained a priceless treasure, drawing it into its interior.

The strand of Eldrin Chen's divine sense, refined by the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, was thus invited inside, taking residence within the very core of the Returning Abyss Pearl.

"Success!"

In that fleeting moment, Eldrin Chen was overcome with boundless elation.

He could perceive with crystalline clarity that his divine sense had now fused as one with the Returning Abyss Pearl [a legendary pearl containing the power of the primordial abyss].

Although he had only claimed a sliver of authority over the treasure, far from being able to unleash even a billionth of its true might, he had nonetheless become its core.

The Returning Abyss Pearl was continuously nourishing this wisp of divine sense. Eldrin Chen believed that as time flowed on and this strand of consciousness grew ever stronger, it would ultimately allow him to fully refine and master the pearl.
