Chapter 1297 : Ascending the Divine Ability Ranks

To advance a Lifebound Divine Ability, the prerequisite is for the cultivator to have attained mastery over the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality].

Eldrin Chen had originally planned to master five different laws, then proceed to elevate his Lifebound Divine Ability, 'Primordial Unity Qi' [the Primal Unity Energy], into the realm of a World-Opening Divine Ability [a Divine Ability of world-shattering power].

Now, however, it seemed he could go a step further. While advancing the Primordial Unity Qi, he could also further refine and perfect this Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power].

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, "If I truly complete this step, this Divine Ability would likely possess the might of a Mysterious Profound Grade [a grade of Divine Ability denoting profound and mysterious power]."

Unlike the grading system for Divine Ability in the Purple Realm, within the Immortal Domain [the realm of Immortals], Divine Ability are categorized into seven distinct grades based on their power: Mortal, Exquisite, Unorthodox, Orthodox, Mysterious Profound, Patriarch, and Supreme.

Divine Ability below the Immortal Rank are typically referred to as Mortal Divine Ability.

The Divine Ability cultivated by Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] generally fall into the Exquisite category. A minority of powerful Immortal cultivate Divine Ability of such transcendent power that they reach the Unorthodox grade.

Even the Divine Ability of many ordinary Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful Earth Immortal ancestors], such as the Duskfall Moon-Veiling Hand [a Divine Ability that shrouds the moon] of the Duskfall Ancient Ancestor, possess power roughly at the Unorthodox level.

The Orthodox-grade Divine Ability above that are exceedingly rare and powerful Great Divine Ability [supreme supernatural powers]. For a typical mid-to-late stage Earth Immortal Ancient Ancestor, successfully cultivating just one such ability is enough to serve as a trump card.

Solara possessed an extraordinary heritage and had opened six layers of her heavenly palace. The 'Solar Heaven-Earth Sweep' [a Divine Ability that sweeps across heaven and earth] she cultivated could be considered an Orthodox-grade Divine Ability, though it would only reach its full, perfected state upon being cultivated to the Great Perfection Realm.

The two divine abilities of Eldrin Chen, 'Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder' and 'Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Radiance', are incredibly arduous to cultivate and are considered Orthodox-grade Divine Ability [supreme mystical techniques]. The 'Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao' he created also resides within this realm.

Meanwhile, the 'Primordial Unity Qi' encompasses the Five Elements [the fundamental forces of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth] and possesses two transformations: 'Primordial Unity Qi Grasping Hand' and 'Primordial Chaos True Aura'. Even among Orthodox-grade Divine Ability, it is considered top-tier.

Advancing a single step further would be sufficient to enter the domain of Mysterious Profound-grade Divine Ability.

As for Mysterious Profound Grade Divine Ability, those are world-shaking Supreme Divine Abilities [the pinnacle of mystical techniques]. Such Divine Ability not only possess earth-shattering power but are also unbelievably difficult to master.

These are the signature methods of Heaven Immortal [a high-level immortal realm] Ancient Ancestor. Throughout the entire Purple Realm, those who have successfully cultivated a Mysterious Profound Grade Divine Ability are typically Heavenly Immortal Paragon [peerless experts among Heaven Immortals].

Those capable of mastering such a Divine Ability while still at the Earth Immortal [a lower immortal realm] realm are truly heaven-defying, supreme talents.

According to Eldrin Chen's knowledge, Divine Lord Ye Ruins counts as one, Lord of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace counts as another, and the Innate Divine Ability [a divine ability one is born with] 'Seven-Colored Divine Light' of Divine Lord Glaze also qualifies.

As for whether Heaven's Malignancy Clan Patriarch and the Lord of the Flowing Fire Star Palace have cultivated such a Divine Ability, that remains an unknown.

As for the Patriarch-grade Divine Ability above the Mysterious Profound tier, those are the ultimate Divine Ability pioneered by Great Luo Immortal Lord [a supreme immortal lord title]. Without cultivation at the Celestial Immortal Level [the level of a true celestial immortal], one lacks even the qualification to touch them, let alone succeed in their cultivation.

The seventh-level Supreme Divine Abilities above those touch upon the realm of the Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental principle of existence] and the Primordial Source [the origin of all things].

Eldrin Chen did not possess extensive knowledge of it, but he had heard some rumors. It was said that every existence who had cultivated such a Divine Ability was among the handful of Supreme beings within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], and even Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [the supreme sages who have comprehended the fundamental Dao] would treat them with courtesy.

"Leaving aside the Patriarch-grade and Supreme-grade, if this Primordial Unity Qi [the primordial, unified essence of creation] were to step into the Mysterious Profound [the profound and mysterious] realm, it would be sufficient for me to roam unhindered across the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea."

"With the cultivation of a Half-Step Earth Immortal [one who has nearly attained the Earth Immortal realm], combined with the Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule Power [the power to command the boundless rules of Primordial Chaos], easily subduing an Early Stage Earth Immortal Ancient Ancestor would likely be effortless."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his resolve solidifying to cultivate the 'Primordial Unity Qi' to the Mysterious Profound realm.

Having decided to seek five types of Peerless [unrivaled, supreme grade] Source Qi [the foundational, primordial energies], Eldrin Chen committed this goal to memory and then withdrew his thoughts.

After gathering his thoughts, he glanced at the Metal Vein Spirit Spring [a spring imbued with spiritual energy] and voiced his confusion, "Why did that Su Wei Ancient Ancestor leave this Peerless Source Qi within the Earth Vein [the spiritual energy channels of the earth] instead of taking it away or hiding it?"

Failing to understand, Eldrin Chen directly took out the Peerless Meteoric Iron Origin Qi [the primordial essence of meteoric iron] and performed a divination. He discovered this Meteoric Iron Origin Qi had only taken form three hundred years ago, instantly clarifying the sequence of events.

Back when that Su Wei Ancient Ancestor launched his assault on the Abyssal Sea Region, this Peerless Source Qi had not yet fully coalesced.

Therefore, Su Wei Ancient Ancestor laid down a Restrictive Formation [a formation designed to restrict and seal] here, intending to collect it after the great battle concluded. Little did he expect that he would not return from that fateful clash, ultimately leaving this treasure for Eldrin Chen.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled faintly. "If it had formed earlier, to prevent anyone from stealing his home, he likely would have taken it with him to the Abyssal Sea Region."

"It seems this treasure is fated for me, and rightfully should be mine."

Thinking thus, Eldrin Chen stored away the Peerless Source Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation], then turned his gaze towards the Metal Vein spring.

This pool of supremely pure Geng Metal Pool Water was the finest treasure-liquid for tempering Immortal Swords. Eldrin Chen collected it, intending to use it to enhance the potency of his Heavenly Separated Twin Swords.

Thereafter, he hesitated no longer. With Mana [the refined spiritual power of a high-level cultivator] rivaling that of an Earth Immortal, he employed his Supreme Divine Ability to lift this Peerless Metallic Essence Earth Vein.

In that instant, boundless Metallic Essence Qi [spiritual energy imbued with the essence of metal] converged, transforming into a vein of pure golden light—a Dragon Vein [a powerful, sentient ley line of spiritual energy]—which Eldrin Chen drew into his grasp.

"A Peerless Earth Vein [a foundational spiritual artery of the world]. Such potent Metallic Essence Qi." Discover more cultivation stories at www . audio-novel.com.

"Refining this into my body will undoubtedly strengthen the power of my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique forged from the energies of primordial chaos] considerably."

Eldrin Chen murmured with delight, swallowing this mass of Metallic Essence Qi and continuously refining it into his five viscera [the five core organs in traditional Chinese medicine and cultivation: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys].

His Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was immensely powerful. To cultivate it to the Heaven-Opening Realm, he required five Supreme-Grade Immortal Rank Earth Veins, using the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Five Elements Qi [the spiritual essence of the five fundamental elements] to replenish the Primordial Source [the foundational, origin-point energy] of his five viscera.

Among the five viscera, the liver corresponds to Wood, the heart to Fire, the spleen to Earth, the lungs to Metal, and the kidneys to Water. The Qi from this Metal Vein resonated perfectly with the lungs.

As he continued to refine it, this golden Metallic Essence Dragon Vein [a powerful, concentrated flow of earth energy] was gradually absorbed into his lungs. Unconsciously, Eldrin Chen felt his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of immense resilience] grow increasingly formidable.

He knew not how much time had passed. Only when Eldrin Chen had completely refined this Peerless Metallic Essence Earth Vein [an earth vein of unparalleled metallic essence] did he realize that within myself his lungs now shimmered with a dazzling golden radiance.

Not only that, but his physical body was now sheathed in a layer of subtle, golden protective Qi [a defensive energy field], appearing even more resplendent than the Indestructible Golden Body [a renowned defensive physique] and boasting truly astonishing defensive capabilities.

"The defensive power of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body has increased by a full fifty percent," murmured Eldrin Chen. At this moment, he had a distinct feeling that even if his flesh were to withstand a direct blow from a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of legendary, world-sundering power], it might not suffer grievous injury.

An ordinary Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a top-tier immortal artifact] striking him would likely leave nothing more than a pale mark, unable to breach this layer of golden protective Qi.

"And that is not all," declared Eldrin Chen.

He spoke, then abruptly threw a punch.

Instantly, a sharp, peerlessly keen light surged from within him, transforming into a golden brilliance that enveloped his fist. It possessed a terrifying edge, one that seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth itself.

"This power..."

"The force of this strike is such that even an ordinary Early Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the first major stage of terrestrial immortality] would likely not dare to receive it head-on."

Eldrin Chen was somewhat astonished. After a moment of contemplation, he murmured to himself, "With my current physical strength alone, I could likely step into the realm of a Six Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived six heavenly tribulations] and suppress an ordinary Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the cusp of achieving terrestrial immortality] without issue."

"A pity it is overly fierce yet lacks sufficient resilience, and its restorative power is somewhat wanting. Otherwise, I would likely fear not even a Seven Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations] in the slightest."
