Chapter 1296 : A Vein of Celestial Fortune

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a trace of delight coloring his expression.

Although the grade of this ore vein was not high, its sheer volume was staggering. In the mortal realm, it would be sufficient to refine hundreds of millions of magical treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators]. There would even be a surplus, enough to craft several magical treasure for every single cultivator within the entire Purple Seal Realm.

For Eldrin Chen, these spiritual ores were of too low a grade to be suitable for forging Immortal Treasure [transcendent artifacts used by Immortals]. However, they could be refined into the purest form of 'Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend' [a primal, metallic essence imbued with magnetic force].

This Venus Metallic Gold [a rare celestial metal] was one of the world's extraordinary irons. A skilled Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] could refine it into 'Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend'.

That 'Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend' represented the most purified Primordial Magnetism Power [a fundamental force of attraction and repulsion]. A small amount held little practical use, but if one could amass a sufficient quantity, it became the most ideal auxiliary material for consecrating a World-Opening Treasure [an artifact of immense power capable of shaping reality].

"An ore vein spanning tens of millions of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], once refined into Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend, should be ample to assist the Polarity Void Mirror in its advancement," Eldrin Chen concluded.

With a soft utterance, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Polarity Void Mirror.

The Polarity Void Mirror, possessing its own spirit, sensed the presence of the Venus Metallic Gold Ore Vein. Its surface shimmered faintly, radiating a palpable sense of yearning.

"Since it can aid your ascension, go forth and devour it without restraint," Eldrin Chen stated plainly.

He spoke calmly, then produced a wisp of World-Opening Energy [the primordial force used in the creation of worlds] and guided it to merge with the Polarity Void Mirror. This novel is serialized on audio_novel.com. Visit for updates.

After absorbing the World-Opening Energy [a primordial energy used to initiate the creation of worlds or artifacts], the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical mirror that manipulates the fundamental forces of polarity and void] trembled faintly. A subtle, invisible shackle shattered, and in that instant, it erupted with the Polarity Primordial Magnetism Light [a divine radiance that commands the primal forces of magnetic attraction and repulsion].

As the Polarity Primordial Magnetism Light swept across the landscape, the vast Venus Metallic Gold Ore Vein [a continent-spanning deposit of a legendary, supremely hard metallic ore] began to magnetize. Piece by piece, it was disassembled into a sky-filling cloud of Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend [a volatile, magnetically-charged metallic essence], resembling billions of silvery galactic streams. This shimmering tide surged upwards, drawn inexorably into the waiting maw of the Polarity Void Mirror.

"Satisfactory,"

Eldrin Chen murmured with a nod, a glint of approval in his eyes.

For an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation], magnetizing Venus Metallic Gold [a legendary, supremely hard metallic ore] was no great feat. However, to magnetize and process an entire ore vein spanning tens of millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] in one go was a task of a wholly different magnitude.

Even with Eldrin Chen's formidable power, accomplishing such a feat through sheer force would likely consume several millennia of dedicated effort.

Fortunately, the Polarity Void Mirror was a Void Treasure [a supreme-grade artifact born from or attuned to the primordial void] specifically attuned to magnetic forces. For it, the task of magnetizing the Venus Metallic Gold and refining it into Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend was rendered vastly simpler.

"At this rate, its advancement will be complete within a single millennium."

Eldrin Chen thought to himself, then quietly set the matter aside.

The Polarity [the fundamental cosmic principle of opposing yet complementary forces, such as yin and yang] Space Mirror possessed its own sentient spirit. Having already refined both the Void-Condensing Jade [a rare jade that crystallizes and stabilizes void energy] and the World-Opening Energy, it was more than capable of processing the vast quantities of Primordial Magnetism Metallic Fiend on its own. There was no need for him to intervene further.

He allowed the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical mirror capable of refining and absorbing elemental essences] to refine the Venus Metallic Gold Ore Vein [a vast subterranean vein rich in metallic-gold spiritual ore], then turned his gaze once more toward Suwei Immortal Island [a legendary island shrouded in spiritual mists].

In his heart, he understood clearly that the most precious treasure upon this Suwei Immortal Island was not this Venus Metallic Gold Ore Vein.

After all, the grade of this Venus Metallic Gold Ore Vein was not high; it could scarcely give birth to Supreme-Grade Immortal Metal. Its sole merit lay in its immense scale, sufficient to serve as nourishment for the Polarity Void Mirror's advancement.

The fundamental reason this Suwei Immortal Island could nurture such a colossal ore vein was the presence of an Immortal Rank Supreme Grade [the pinnacle rank for immortal-grade spiritual veins] Metallic Gold Earth Vein [a primary spiritual vein that channels the essence of metallic gold] here.

That Metallic Gold Earth Vein gathered the boundless Essence of Metallic Gold [the pure spiritual energy of the metallic element] from the Suwei Sea [the vast spiritual sea surrounding the island], causing it to circulate and converge within the Suwei Immortal Island, thus forming this Venus Metallic Gold Earth Vein.

Therefore, within this Immortal Isles [a general term for islands inhabited by immortals], the most precious treasure was that Immortal Rank Supreme Grade Metallic Gold Earth Vein.

"It is here," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen calculated for a moment, then his eyes snapped open with sudden clarity.

With a flick of his sleeve, he traversed endless mountains and rivers, arriving at a subterranean space deep beneath the Suwei Sea, a cavern brimming with Essence of Metallic Gold.

It was a world of dazzling golden light, filled with an inexhaustible flow of Western Pole Metallic Gold Essence [a potent, sharp-edged metallic essence associated with the Western direction]. Even Eldrin Chen, possessor of the Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of near-absolute resilience], felt a piercing, bone-deep sharpness upon setting foot within this space.

"There's actually a defensive formation [a magical barrier or array] still active!"

Eldrin Chen landed within the Metallic Gold Earth Vein [a subterranean spiritual vein rich in metallic and gold elemental energies], his brow furrowing slightly.

Before the great battle with Patriarch Suwei, to prevent his lair from being raided, he had long since emptied it of its treasures. Those precious items were either carried on his person or had been spirited away.

This Earth Vein [a spiritual energy channel within the earth] was also barren, yet at its core, where the vein's spiritual spring [the source of the vein's energy] should be, a Formation [a complex magical array or barrier] shimmered, sealing it off.

The Formation was formidable, drawing its power directly from this Immortal Rank Supreme Grade [the highest grade within the Immortal Rank] Metallic Gold Earth Vein. Even a Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of becoming an Earth Immortal] would struggle to breach it quickly. Yet, it posed little challenge for Eldrin Chen.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, Eldrin Chen unleashed the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords [a pair of legendary divine swords]. They danced through the air, a single, blindingly brilliant sword energy [a concentrated blade of spiritual power] cleaving the void itself and rending the Formation asunder.

"What is this?"

After shattering the Formation, Eldrin Chen strode into the heart of the Earth Vein, only to pause, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

There, within the vein's core, a pool of golden Spirit Spring [a spring of condensed spiritual liquid] bubbled gently. It flowed with liquid of unparalleled purity, and at its center, a single orb pulsed with an essence of the most pristine golden Metallic Gold Source Energy [the primordial, condensed source energy of the metallic gold element].

"A supreme-grade Metallic Gold Source Energy."

Gazing upon this pool of golden Spirit Spring [a natural spring infused with concentrated spiritual energy], Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

This Spirit Spring was known as the Metallic Gold Spring [a spring formed from the purest essence of metallic gold]. It was a manifestation of the world's most pristine Essence of Metallic Gold [the fundamental energy of the metal element], making it the supreme source liquid for tempering Immortal Sword [a sword forged for and wielded by immortals].

Even a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest rank of artifact used by immortals], if tempered within this Metallic Gold Spring, would see its potency enhanced by several degrees.

As for the jade from which that stream of pure golden source liquid flowed, it was the legendary Metallic Gold Source Energy [the primordial source energy of the metal element], and its grade had reached the Immortal Rank Supreme Grade [the pinnacle rank for immortal-level materials]. This, too, was something Eldrin Chen urgently needed.

This substance was a Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact. It could be used to advance a Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure bound to a cultivator's life force and soul], could aid in cultivating a Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power mastered through cultivation], and could be considered a rare Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifact.

Eldrin Chen's Innate Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power one is born with], the Primordial One Energy [the primordial, undifferentiated energy of creation], had already been cultivated to its Great Perfection. Its power was virtually unmatched among peers, sufficient to rival some World-Opening Heavenly God Ability [a divine ability of the gods who shaped the cosmos].

Yet, in Eldrin Chen's view, such a Divine Ability had not yet reached its absolute limit. The advanced method he had deduced for the Primordial One Energy in recent years required the integration of five types of supreme-grade Primordial Essence Energy [the primordial, foundational energies of the five elements]: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

If integrating World-Opening Energy [the chaotic energy from the dawn of creation] was about elevating the potential for the Divine Ability's advancement, then integrating these five supreme-grade Primordial Essence Energy was about directly amplifying the Divine Ability's destructive power.

For many years, the Innate Divine Ability Eldrin Chen had cultivated had allowed him to battle foes a full realm above his own. It was the cornerstone of his prowess, allowing him to dominate the world—a truth that held even within the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of true, ascended immortals].

However, those who reached the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of earthbound immortals, a powerful stage of cultivation] were, without exception, prodigies who shook the heavens. Many Earth Immortal Patriarch [patriarchs who have attained the Earth Immortal Realm] had once been figures who reigned supreme, finding no equal among their peers.

Facing these formidable foes, Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Energy [the foundational energy of creation and unity], while potent, could only be considered powerful among peers of the same cultivation level. To once again stand unrivaled among the masses, to match a Great Vehicle Divine Ability [a supreme-level divine technique] with a newly mastered Divine Ability [a supernatural technique cultivated to mastery] as he had in the past, was now far beyond his reach.

If Eldrin Chen could integrate the five supreme-grade Primordial Essence Energy [the purest spiritual energies of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth] and advance the evolution of this Primordial One Energy Divine Ability [the divine technique based on the Primordial One Energy] one step further...

Then not only could this Divine Ability advance into the realm of a World-Opening Heavenly God Ability [a divine technique of the highest order, capable of shaping worlds], but its destructive power would also surge dramatically.

"Within the Returning Abyss Blessed Land, after eight thousand years, a supreme-grade Positive Water Source Energy [the purest spiritual essence of the Water element] will be nurtured."

"Combined with this supreme-grade Metallic Gold Source Energy [the purest spiritual essence of the Metal element], the path for my Innate Divine Ability [a divine technique inherent to one's nature], 'Primordial One Energy', to ascend can perhaps be planned."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then stored away the supreme-grade Metallic Gold Source Energy. Support the author by reading on audio-novel . com.
