Chapter 1318 : Primordial Waters of Ascension

At this thought, Skywind the Daoist also showed a hint of delight. He retrieved the World-Initiating Qi [the primordial energy used to initiate a world] from his sleeve and handed it over, saying:

"I entrust this object to you, Fellow Daoist. I hope you can wield it to defeat our enemies and lead us through this Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event of immense scale and danger]."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen accepted the World-Initiating Qi and then smiled, "With this, perhaps I can attempt to formulate some plans."

At this critical juncture, Skywind the Daoist's successful breakthrough, adding an Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm, a powerful existence] to their ranks, was like a stabilizing pill for everyone's spirits.

Having obtained the World-Initiating Qi, Eldrin Chen wasted no time. He immediately fused it into the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform [a powerful magical treasure in the form of an azure lotus platform]. Then, he arrived at the Abyss of the Abyssal End and began continuously drawing upon the boundless Primordial Heavy Water [a divine ability manifesting water of immense weight and primordial power], intending to advance the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform.

For the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform to ascend to a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of the highest grade, capable of supporting the creation of a world], it required a truly oceanic amount of resources and a considerably lengthy period of time.

Eldrin Chen could not afford to wait that long. He activated the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a spatial treasure capable of containing vast spaces] to store a massive quantity of Primordial Heavy Water, placed the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform within to be continuously refined, and then quietly made his way beyond the Abyssal Sea Region.

Concealed within the Yin-Yang Void Realm, he simultaneously aided the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform in its advancement and flew soundlessly across the boundless sea. Unconsciously, he arrived beyond the Verdant Stream Sea Region.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the Verdant Stream Sea Region, Eldrin Chen could not help but let out a soft sigh of relief. "I have come five hundred years early. The Verdant Stream Ancient Sect is indeed still holding out."

Seeing that the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect had not yet been breached, Eldrin Chen felt a slight steadiness in his heart. He then began to observe the battlefield before him. Find this and other novels at audio-novel .c om.

After merely a single glance, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

Before his eyes, within the vast expanse of the Verdant Stream Sea Region, countless Immortal Island and Spirit Island had dimmed, their light extinguished. A great number of Formation Eye and Immortal Island had already been breached.

The Mountain Guardian Grand Formation of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect had been whittled down, now only protecting the very core of the Verdant Stream Abode of Bliss.

And this final Mountain Guardian Grand Formation, under the relentless assault of countless Treasure Ship from the Demonic Tribe, already teetered on the brink of collapse.

"It seems," Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, "unless the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect has some hidden card to play, they can likely hold for little more than three hundred years."

This thought settled in Eldrin Chen's heart, and the gravity in his eyes deepened.

Surrounding the Verdant Stream Abode of Bliss were more than five hundred Immortal [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality], over twenty Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators on the very cusp of attaining Earth Immortal status], several true Earth Immortal [progenitors who have merged their being with the essence of the world], and two Seventh Level Earth Immortal [Earth Immortals of the seventh and penultimate stage of their realm]. The Demonic Tribe had laid a veritable Heaven's Net [a formation of inescapable encirclement], leaving no path for escape.

Furthermore, both the Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison and the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake were supreme existences who had opened six layers of their Heavenly Palaces [a measure of a cultivator's foundational potential and power]. Their cultivation had already reached the Seventh Level Earth Immortal realm; either one would be an immensely difficult foe to contend with.

Under such circumstances, unless a Late Stage Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal of the eighth or ninth level] arrived with a massive army in support, even if the Abyssal Immortal Alliance and all its allies emptied their strongholds to come, it would merely be a march to their doom.

Eldrin Chen's purpose in coming here was naturally not to wage a desperate, final battle against the entire Demonic Tribe and the Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison.

The purpose of his journey was to utilize the power of the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a supreme treasure capable of manipulating space], a World-Opening Treasure [a legendary artifact of immense, world-shaping power], to rescue several of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect's Earth Immortal Progenitors [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] at the precise moment the sect was overrun.

If he could, at that critical juncture, rescue the Patriarch of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect—a cultivator at the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer [the sixth level of the Earth Immortal realm]—along with the other few Earth Immortal Progenitors, then perhaps there would still be a chance to fight on in the upcoming battle for the Abyssal Sea Region.

If he failed to rescue them, however, the defense of the Abyssal Sea Region would likely become untenable.

Facing the combined assault of two Late Stage Earth Immortals [cultivators at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm] and several hundred Immortals [beings who have ascended to immortality], plus a Heaven-Opening Ancient Ship [an ancient, colossal vessel of war], even the repeatedly reinforced Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation [a grand defensive array based on celestial constellations] would likely not hold.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen felt a growing tension coil within his heart.

Whether he could rescue the Patriarch of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, and how many Earth Immortal Progenitors he could save, would determine the very shape of the coming war.

It was foreseeable that if he managed to rescue two or three Earth Immortal Progenitors, both the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake and the Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison would be furious enough to spit blood.

Yet, snatching lives from the grasp of two Late Stage Earth Immortals was akin to dancing upon the edge of a blade; the slightest misstep could see Eldrin Chen trapped within the maelstrom.

Though the Yin-Yang Void Realm was potent, capable of instantly transporting Eldrin Chen across a vast Distant Sea [a remote and perilous oceanic region], each activation required a period of recovery.

After all, the fabric of space [the Void] within the Immortal Domain [the realm where immortals dwell] was exceptionally stable; traversing the Void within the Immortal Realm was a feat only a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme being among Heavenly Immortals] could accomplish unaided. While Eldrin Chen could achieve this through spatial treasures, there were inherent limitations.

"There is but one chance. How many I can ultimately save will depend on the timing of my intervention, as well as my own strength and methods," Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his gaze shifting to the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform undergoing its ascension.

Under normal circumstances, besieged by two Seventh Level Earth Immortal [powerful cultivators who have reached the seventh stage of the Earth Immortal realm], he would only be confident in rescuing a single person.

However, should the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform succeed in its advancement, its capacity to store Mana [the spiritual energy used to power magical arts] would increase by more than threefold. At that point, he could fully channel the Primordial Chaos True Aura [a supreme defensive technique born from primordial chaos] to protect himself, potentially allowing him to save several more individuals.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately took action. He assisted the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform in refining the Primordial Heavy Water [a profound water of immense density and power from the dawn of creation] while keeping a grave and watchful eye on the battlefield.

Thus, time flowed on, and three centuries passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these two to three hundred years, with the full assistance of Eldrin Chen, the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform finally succeeded in its ascension, reaching the realm of a World-Opening Treasure [a legendary-grade artifact of immense power, capable of shaping reality].

Eldrin Chen examined it and let out a sigh of relief. Upon its successful advancement, the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform had gained three wondrous functions.

The first was the storage of Mana.

After its promotion, the amount of Mana it could store had tripled.

However, Eldrin Chen's current Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and stored within a practitioner] is exceptionally profound and vast. The Mana it can store is equivalent to that of an Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal who has transcended the mortal realm and attained a profound connection with the earth] who has opened the third layer of their celestial palace.

Combined with Eldrin Chen's own Mana, it roughly reaches the level of a fourth-layer Earth Immortal. This should be barely sufficient to sustain Eldrin Chen through a period of high-intensity combat.

The second wondrous function is its inherent one: it can transform into a twelve-petaled Azure Lotus Platform [a defensive magical artifact shaped like a lotus]. Seated upon it, one can withstand powerful enemy assaults.

Moreover, its defensive power is quite formidable, roughly comparable to an Unorthodox-grade World-Opening Divine Ability [a supreme divine art of immense power, capable of shaping reality]. Even a powerhouse at the Middle Stage Earth Immortal level would need to unleash several full-force attacks to breach this protective barrier.

The third wondrous function derives from the Primordial Heavy Water [an ancient, immensely dense and potent spiritual water]. This Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform contains the Mysterious Profound [a profound and mysterious principle] essence of Primordial Heavy Water, capable of refining and condensing a cultivator's Mana, making it more concentrated and potent in quality.

All three of these functions are extraordinary. However, Eldrin Chen has now cultivated the Profound Grade Divine Ability [a divine art of the highest, most profound grade] 'Primordial Unity Qi' [the primordial energy of unified creation]. When fueled by his own Mana, both his offensive and defensive capabilities rival those of a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

Therefore, the latter two functions hold little significance for him. The true function that can substantially elevate his combat prowess is the one that stores Mana.

Currently, the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform can store Mana comparable to a First Layer Earth Immortal. One could say it has extinguished a fire at Eldrin Chen's doorstep, resolving his most pressing urgency.

With this thought, he stored the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform within his dantian [the core energy center in a cultivator's body] and turned his gaze towards the battlefield within the Verdant Stream Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of spiritual abundance, often a sect's headquarters or a cultivator's paradise].

The two sides were still locked in fierce combat. The Verdant Stream Ancient Sect [an ancient and venerable cultivation sect], leveraging the power of their grand formation, continuously resisted the siege by the Demonic Tribe [a tribe or race of demons]. The Demonic Tribe, for their part, had already committed their final reserves to the assault. Join our community of readers at audio novel.com.
