Chapter 1293 : The Primordial Power Within

Unlike ordinary Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals], an Innate Divine Ability [a divine ability one is born with] is fundamentally different. Once such an ability transforms into a World-Opening Heavenly God Ability [a divine ability capable of creating a world, the pinnacle of power], its profundity and mystery far surpass the mundane.

This innate World-Opening Heavenly God Ability [a divine ability capable of creating a world, the pinnacle of power], fused with World-Opening Energy [the primordial energy used to create a new world], is not only simpler and faster to cultivate, but its power also exceeds that of a Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals] of the same rank by thirty percent.

At this moment, Sun Consort had not yet succeeded in her World-Opening [the act of creating one's own inner world, a major cultivation breakthrough]. Yet, the power she could unleash with this Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals] already approached the realm of a Third Level Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has reached the third stage of their cultivation], second only to the might of a Mid-Grade World-Opening Treasure [a mid-tier magical treasure used in the world-opening process].

It could be said that by cultivating this Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals], Sun Consort had gained an asset no less valuable than possessing an additional Innate World-Opening Treasure [a magical treasure born from the world's creation, possessing immense innate power]. Moreover, as her cultivation base grew, the potency of this Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals] would only become more formidable.

"Four layers of heaven and earth," Eldrin Chen murmured, his expression growing increasingly grave.

He watched as Sun Consort took hold of the fourth wisp of World-Opening Energy [the primordial energy used to create a new world]. This time, she did not channel it into her Divine Ability [a supernatural power cultivated by immortals] or her physical body. Instead, she guided it to merge with her Great Sun Divine Body [a divine constitution embodying the power of the supreme sun].

In that instant, her Great Sun Divine Body [a divine constitution embodying the power of the supreme sun] blazed with even more dazzling radiance. It was as if some invisible shackle of the Great Path [the fundamental laws and principles of the cosmos] had been shattered.

Having completed this step, Sun Consort drew a deep, steadying breath.

During the World-Opening [the act of creating one's own inner world, a major cultivation breakthrough], the more layers of heaven and earth one had already forged, the exponentially greater the difficulty became to forge another.

The path ahead grew steeper with each new world she birthed within herself. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio_novel.com.

Because the moment of World-Opening [the act of a supreme cultivator creating their own inner universe] is not merely about creation; it is also about bearing the immense pressure imposed by the heavens and the earth themselves.

With her profound foundation, opening the first Threefold Heaven [the initial three layers of an inner universe] was not particularly taxing. Yet now, having consecutively opened four layers of heaven and earth, she felt as if she were carrying the weight of an entire Great Universe [the vast, boundless cosmos].

Currently, she was World-Opening while bearing the pressure of four heavenly layers, feeling as if she could scarcely catch her breath.

Even so, she did not give up. If she failed to withstand this pressure, this newly formed heaven and earth would collapse once more.

Should that happen, faced with the backlash of the failed World-Opening, her Great Sun God Pearl [a divine treasure embodying solar essence] and her Sun-Refining Heaven Sword [a celestial sword forged in solar flames] would both shatter and disintegrate. Even her own life would likely be extinguished.

"Once more!"

After that fleeting moment to gather herself, Sun Consort did not yield.

She drew a deep breath, then marshaled every ounce of her true power for another strike.

In that instant, three supreme forces erupted simultaneously: the Great Sun God Pearl, the Sun-Refining Heaven Sword, and the Sun-Sweeping Heaven and Earth [a divine technique that purges all things with solar might]. Together, they tore through the endless void, violently rending the fabric of reality asunder.

With a world-shaking roar, the fifth layer of vast, primordial heaven and earth was finally carved into existence.

"The Fivefold Heaven [a foundational cultivation realm representing the opening of five internal heavens]!"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a slight, unconscious nod of his head accompanying his words.

From what he knew, those capable of opening a Fourfold Heaven possessed the latent potential to break through to the Late Stage Earth Immortal [a high level of cultivation where one becomes an immortal bound to the earthly realm]. As for those who could establish a Fivefold Heaven, they were considered rare even among Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power and existence are still tied to the mortal world].

Such individuals had an immense likelihood of advancing to the Late Stage Earth Immortal in the future, and some might even cultivate all the way to Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm].

With this thought, he glanced at Sun Consort and felt his brow furrow slightly.

"She is nearing her limit!"

Eldrin Chen spoke in a low, measured tone, his frown deepening.

Those who could open a Sixfold Heaven crossed a monumental threshold. Legend held that achieving this step marked one as possessing true Celestial Immortal Aptitude [the innate potential to ascend to the realm of a Celestial Immortal, a higher order of being].

Although the hope for a Sixfold Heaven immortal to break through to Celestial Immortal [an immortal who transcends the earthly realm and ascends to a higher celestial plane] was slim, it was at least a thread of possibility.

It would be a profound pity if Sun Consort were to fall at this very step.

As expected, Sun Consort refined the fifth strand of World-Opening Energy [the primordial energy released during the creation of a new world or cultivation realm], merging it into her Great Sun Rule [a supreme cultivation art of the solar lineage]. A long, measured exhalation finally escaped her lips.

Her gaze swept across the Boundless Dimensional Void [the infinite, chaotic expanse between stable worlds and dimensions]. A flicker of hesitation passed through her eyes, but it was swiftly extinguished, replaced by a steely, unshakeable resolve.

"The Sixth Heaven... the aptitude for a Celestial Immortal," she murmured, the words hanging in the silent void.

Sun Consort spoke softly, yet a blazing light ignited deep within her pupils, like twin suns being born.

At that moment, clad in her golden gown and standing alone in the emptiness, she shone with a radiance that rivaled a great Sun God [a divine being embodying the power and authority of the sun].

She consumed several elixirs [spiritual pills that restore energy and heal wounds], allowing her depleted spiritual power to gradually recover. Then, her eyes turned to the Great Sun God Pearl [a divine pearl containing condensed solar essence] and the Sun-Refining Heaven Sword [a divine sword capable of refining even the heavens with solar fire] floating beside her. Her voice, when it came, was calm yet carried immense weight. The story continues at audio–novel.com.

"I intend to undertake the World-Opening [the supreme act of creating one's own inner world, a foundational step for the highest realms of cultivation] once more, to forge a true Celestial Immortal Foundation [the foundational realm of a Celestial Immortal, marking transcendence beyond mortality]."

"If I succeed, the Great Path [the ultimate Dao, the supreme principle of cultivation and existence] lies open before me. Should I fail... you will shatter alongside me, our spirits extinguished, our paths ended."

"Will you accompany me," she asked, her voice resonating with solemn power, "in this final, perilous journey to World-Opening?"

*Clang—!*

In that fleeting Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], the void resonated with a deep, resonant hum and the sharp, crystalline song of a sword.

The Great Sun God Pearl and the Sun-Refining Heaven Sword shone in brilliant concert, the two World-Opening Treasure erupting with a fighting spirit of unprecedented intensity.

"Good! We fight side by side!"

Sun Consort declared with iron resolve, her boundless battle intent shattering through the endless Dimensional Void.

In that instant, the Great Sun God Pearl shot forth like a stellar projectile, while the Sun-Refining Heaven Sword unleashed a blade-light capable of cleaving through Chaos Energy Flow. Furthermore, the World-Opening Heavenly God Ability and the Sun-Sweeping Heaven and Earth swept through the void, purging all in their path.

"Once more, World-Opening!"

Infinite dimensions thundered; the vast, desolate void trembled.

Sun Consort struck with her full might, her endless World-Opening Power sweeping aside the Six Harmonies formation and forcibly carving out a stretch of desolate void spanning hundreds of millions of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters].

Yet, even with such effort, the world remained a formless expanse; the Sixfold Heaven had yet to be opened.

"It is still not enough!"

"Then let us try again!"

Sun Consort [one of the three celestial consorts] declared with a metallic clang in her voice. With a sweep of her sleeve, she summoned forth two more treasures: one was the dazzling Great Sun Heavenly Wheel [a divine wheel embodying the power of the great sun], and the other was the world-illuminating Lingering Sun Heavenly Wheel [a divine wheel embodying the power of the lingering sunset sun].

These two supreme treasures, one a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of immense power capable of aiding in the creation of new worlds] and the other a Mid-Grade World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of significant power capable of aiding in world creation], now soared into the heavens with a thunderous roar.

The Lingering Sun Heavenly Wheel propped up the sky, while the Great Sun Heavenly Wheel anchored the earth, together bearing the brunt of the immense pressure for the Sun Consort.

Seizing this moment, the Sun Consort gathered all her power. With a resonant *clang*, she unleashed her divine pearl, her heavenly sword, and her ultimate Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique], launching a cataclysmic assault upon the Eight Desolations [a legendary, primordial expanse of desolate lands] Six Harmonies [a powerful defensive formation based on the principle of six harmonies].

"BOOM—!"

In that instant, the void thundered, drowned in the overwhelming divine resonance of the Great Path [the supreme, fundamental laws of the cosmos].

The Sixfold Heaven [the sixth and highest tier of a cultivator's personal inner world or grotto-heaven] was finally, forcibly breached. A primordial Ancient Continent [a vast landmass from the dawn of creation] spanning billions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] slowly materialized, and a sixth strand of World-Opening Energy [the primordial energy used to create and stabilize new worlds] coalesced into being.

"Success!"

Witnessing the successful opening of the Sixfold Heaven, the Sun Consort could not help but reveal a look of profound joy and triumph.

She seized the driver, stabilized heaven and earth with four World-Opening Treasure [legendary artifacts used to establish the foundation of a new world], and then withdrew from her sleeve four Celestial Pillar [cosmic pillars that stretch into infinity].

"The Central Method upholds the heavens."

The moment he saw the four Celestial Pillar, Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself and gave a slight, understanding nod.

Fourth-Level Celestial Pillar [the highest grade of cosmic pillar] forged from Supreme-Grade Acquired Spiritual Root [the pinnacle of spiritual roots that can be acquired post-natally] are more than sufficient to support a Sixfold Heaven [a world composed of six layered realms]. Sun Consort had indeed prepared thoroughly.

Behold, the Fourth-Level Celestial Pillar descended to the Four Extremities [the four cardinal directions of the world], piercing through the six vast and misty heavens, lifting and supporting this primordial world born from the Primordial Chaos Unfolding [the cataclysmic event where order emerges from primordial chaos].

With this step complete, Sun Consort used the Great Sun God Pearl [a divine pearl embodying solar majesty] to suppress the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome], and the Sun-Refining Heaven Sword [a sword capable of refining the heavens with solar fire] to suppress the Nine Nether Abysses [the deepest, most profound layers of the underworld]. Finally, she produced an eighth-rank ancient plate to balance heaven and earth.

As the Three World-Opening Treasures [the three foundational treasures for world creation] all settled into their positions, the Fourth-Level Celestial Pillar and the Heaven-Bearing Ancient Plate [the ancient plate that bears the weight of the heavens] erupted with boundless light of Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the universe].

Innumerable rules and divine chains of Path Principles intertwined, merging ceaselessly with the Polarity Dual Energy [the primordial energies of yin and yang], ultimately transforming into a World Membrane [the protective boundary layer of a world], solidifying itself within the endless Dimensional Void [the formless expanse between dimensions].

"A Sixfold Heaven, opened by the Central World-Opening [a specific, balanced method of world creation]."

Gazing upon the Sixfold Heaven opened by Sun Consort, Eldrin Chen seemed to gain a profound insight.

He compared the Crippled Heaven Realm [a world created by a specific patriarch] of the Lingering Sun Patriarch and roughly understood the astonishing nature of the world Sun Consort had forged.

In the past, the two heavens and earths opened by the Lingering Sun Patriarch contained two strands of Rule Authority [a metaphysical principle governing a domain of reality] between them. Consequently, they were able to give birth to two Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended the mortal realm] figures: the Emperor of Gods and the King of Immortals.

However, within the world forged by Sun Consort, there existed a Sixfold Heaven [a cosmological structure of six layered heavens], which was three times that of the Lingering Sun Patriarch's creation.

Therefore, within this Sixfold Heaven of Sun Consort, there were a full six Rule Authority. This level of authority could perhaps be termed a Rule Mandate [the supreme authority to govern a fundamental aspect of a realm's natural laws].

Whoever grasped a Rule Mandate would become the paramount powerhouse within the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm, a being favored by the Mandate of Heaven itself.

Such beings were often revered as a realm's Divine Sovereign, Immortal King, or Progenitor.

Eldrin Chen felt that those who wielded a Rule Mandate were more fittingly called Realm Imperial Lord [a title for a sovereign who commands the fundamental laws of a world].

By this reasoning, within the Six Realms [the collective term for the six cosmological layers] that housed Sun Consort's Sixfold Heaven, six Great Emperor [supreme rulers who command the Mandate of Heaven] destined to hold the Heavenly Mandate would inevitably be nurtured in the future. Such foundational depth was considered formidable even within the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of cultivators who have fully transcended mortality]. This content originates from *audio-novel.com*.
