Chapter 1390 : The Primordial Scroll's Rebirth

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], Magnus the Virtuous, wrapped within the Innate Path Inquiry Scripture [a supreme cultivation scripture focused on innate path inquiry], vanished into the Reincarnation Well.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of relief settle in his heart. With his current level of discernment, he could roughly grasp the extraordinary nature of this ancient scripture.

This Innate Path Inquiry Scripture was forged from a foundation of a single Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters, fused with Primordial Mother Qi [the primordial source energy of all creation] and Primordial Essence [the purest, most fundamental essence of existence]. It was an exceedingly rare Primordial Ancient Scroll [an ancient scroll of primordial chaos].

The Primordial Genesis Qi Scripture [a scripture for cultivating primordial genesis energy] of Jiang the Sovereign Emperor could cultivate Innate Qi [innate vital energy], the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light [an indestructible spiritual light of primordial chaos], and even the Primordial Beginning Qi [the qi of primordial beginning] required for the legendary Innate Supreme Treasure.

If the Primordial Genesis Qi Scripture could be considered a simplified version of a Primordial Scripture, then this book embodied another, complementary aspect of a Primordial Scripture's profound utility.

This Innate Path Inquiry Scripture possessed by Magnus the Virtuous was a Primordial Ancient Scroll capable of enhancing a cultivator's comprehension and insight.

After his Reincarnation, as Magnus the Virtuous continuously contemplated this scripture, his own innate comprehension would steadily rise.

Ultimately, with the passage of time, Magnus the Virtuous's talent and brilliance would rival that of the Innate Sacred Spirits, his natural aptitude and insight not inferior to the most ancient Quasi-Sage Imperial Lord, and perhaps even surpass them.

"In ancient times, Jiang the Sovereign Emperor, upon obtaining two Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters, derived the Primordial Genesis Qi Scripture," Eldrin Chen mused.

"Now, Senior Magnus, having obtained one Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters, has likewise derived the Primordial Dao Inquiry Scripture [a scripture for inquiring into the primordial Dao]." His thoughts shifting, Eldrin Chen cast his gaze towards the nearby Silas Chen. Experience the full epic at audio–novel.com.

Silas Chen's heart trembled slightly, and he could not help but speak out: "Uncle Eldrin." "Mm." Eldrin Chen nodded.

Though a thousand words swirled in her heart, they remained unspoken, held back by a tide of unvoiced emotions.

She offered no further words, only casting one last, profound glance at Eldrin Chen before flying resolutely, without a backward look, into the depths of the Reincarnation Well [a mystical well said to guide souls to their next life]. "Ah, such a devoted soul," he sighed.

Watching her departure, Eldrin Chen released a soft sigh within. He immediately sent forth the Primordial Scripture [an ancient and profound cultivation manual], wrapped in a sheath of Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and pure form of energy, predating creation]. The several hundred Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters [mystical symbols from the dawn of creation, each containing profound truths] swirled and chased after Silas Chen, coiling around him until, finally, two of the ancient characters merged directly into his Divine Soul [the highest form of a cultivator's spiritual core, akin to a divine spark].

This sight caused Eldrin Chen's heart to quiver once more, a flicker of astonishment crossing his features.

The Primordial Scripture [an ancient and profound cultivation manual] was of extraordinary origin. Within its brief span of several hundred characters, each one was an invaluable Primordial Chaos Ancient Character [mystical symbol from the dawn of creation, containing profound truths]. To obtain even a few of these characters depended not only on one's own fateful opportunity and innate talent, but more crucially on the inherent rank and nature of one's own True Spirit [the authentic, undiluted spiritual essence of a being].

In his time, even the prodigious talent of Jiang the Sovereign Emperor had only managed to acquire two such characters. To think that now, Silas Chen had also obtained two. "Hmm."

In the very moment of Eldrin Chen's surprise, the Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and pure form of energy, predating creation] and the Primordial Mother Qi [the primordial, generative energy that gave birth to all things] flowed into the two ancient characters. The characters and the two energies intertwined incessantly, ultimately giving rise to an ancient scripture composed of several hundred characters.

Even Eldrin Chen could not perceive the scripture's full form, only catching glimpses of key characters. His brow arched slightly as he discerned, inscribed upon that Primordial Ancient Scripture [a scripture of ultimate origin from the dawn of creation], five utterly astonishing ancient words.

They read—《Primordial Primordial Simplicity Scripture》["The Scripture of Primordial Simplicity," a legendary text of ultimate origin]. "To possess such a Creation [a destiny tied to the act of creation itself]..." he murmured in awe.

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, watching as Silas Chen vanished into the flow of Reincarnation [the cycle of death and rebirth]. A flicker of surprise passed through his gaze.

Taisu [the Primordial Simplicity] is one of the Five Primal Ultimates [the five foundational primordial principles], one of the most original and ancient Great Dao [supreme cosmic principles] within the boundless Chaotic Cosmos. For Silas Chen to carry the Primordial Primordial Simplicity Scripture into his next life grants him a foundation comparable to an Innate Sacred Spirit [a being born of heaven and earth's will] manifesting in response to destiny. His future achievements are likely to be immeasurable.

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen sighed and said, "So be it. May you one day attain the Great Dao and meet me again within the Immortal Domain."

Having sent the two into Reincarnation, Eldrin Chen did not linger long in the Netherworld Realm [the realm of the dead].

He bid farewell to Qing the Ancient Ancestor and returned to the Abyssal Sea Region, where he found that Lyra Jiang had already concluded her secluded cultivation.

Through her years of cultivation, Lyra Jiang's foundation had reached perfection, and her mastery of Divine Ability [supernatural powers] had ascended to its utmost limit.

Her five World-Opening Spiritual Root [spiritual roots capable of opening miniature worlds]—the Vast Cold Immortal Osmanthus, the Heavenly Heart Divine Willow, the Netherworld Ancient Locust, the Dusk Sun Fire Mulberry, and the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu Tree—had all advanced to the Heaven-Opening Realm.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen still spoke up, "There is no need for haste, my lady. Let me first refine an External Elixir [a potent pill that aids cultivation breakthroughs] for you." With these words, Eldrin Chen entered the Alchemy Chamber and began crafting the External Elixir for Lyra Jiang.

Considering that Lyra Jiang intended to open the twelfth layer of her heavenly palace, Eldrin Chen prepared to refine an Eighth Rank External Elixir for her this time.

Lyra Jiang's foundation far surpassed that of an ordinary Ninth Tribulation Immortal. According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, with her profound foundation and while channeling two High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [supreme-grade treasures for opening heavenly layers], she should still possess sufficient capacity to refine and absorb an External Elixir.

However, refining an Eighth Rank External Elixir [a supreme-grade pill that stores immense energy for external use] is no simple task. Eldrin Chen selected the highest quality pearl from among those seven World-Opening Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the essence of the primordial sea, used for world creation] and meticulously refined it over and over. It took a full Millennium [one thousand years] before he finally succeeded in its creation.

Watching the External Elixir [a special pill that stores vast energy for later absorption] finally take form, Lyra Jiang could not help but express her relief. "With this External Elixir, I have hope of opening the twelfth layer of my Earth Immortal [Earth Immortal] world."

Hearing her words, Eldrin Chen also allowed a smile to grace his features.

The Mana [spiritual energy used for cultivation and magical arts] stored within this single-use External Elixir was comparable to the total reserves of a Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has opened four layers of their inner world]. It would be more than enough for Lyra Jiang's final, decisive push. With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke, "My lady, proceed with your World Creation [the act of forging the layers of an inner world]. I shall guard you."

"Very well."

Lyra Jiang gave a slight nod and immediately stepped into the Boundless Void [the formless, infinite space within a cultivator where inner worlds are forged], commencing her World Creation. Official source: site: audio-novel.com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

Given Lyra Jiang's profound foundation, the initial stages of World Creation were not difficult. She unleashed her full power, and before long, she had successfully opened the Ninefold Heavens and Earth [the first nine foundational layers of an inner world]. However, when she reached the point of forging the Tenfold Heavens and Earth [the tenth layer of an inner world], a noticeable strain began to manifest.

Although her Lunar Immortal Physique [a supreme constitution aligned with lunar and yin energies] was a top-tier Immortal Physique [an innate bodily constitution of exceptional quality for cultivation], it still fell short compared to Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary constitution born from primordial chaos, granting immense resilience]. Relying solely on the strength of her physical form, supporting the Tenfold Heavens and Earth was already her limit.

Seeing this, Lyra Jiang summoned her treasures. She used the Earth-Fortress Earth Origin Disk [a disk-shaped treasure that stabilizes the earth element] to anchor the earth, the Six Realms and Eight Desolations Cauldron [a mighty cauldron capable of suppressing all realms] to steady the Firmament [the sky or heavens], and employed both the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword [a peerless sword capable of slaying immortals] and her Second Nascent Soul [a second, independently cultivated spiritual core] to prop up the heavens and earth. This greatly alleviated the pressure upon herself.

Feeling the immense burden lighten, she immediately began drawing upon the vast Mana reserves of the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform [a lotus-shaped platform that channels and purifies water-element spiritual energy]. Then, she unleashed a torrent of her most potent Divine Ability [supernatural powers and techniques mastered through cultivation]: the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a giant hand formed from primordial chaos energy], the Great Five Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder [a divine thunder imbued with the power of the five elements and pure yin], and others. With relentless force, she finally cleaved open the Eleventh Heaven [the eleventh layer of her inner world].

At this juncture, Lyra Jiang's Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel cultivation and techniques] was more than half depleted. Without the aid of an External Elixir [a potent pill that provides a massive surge of external spiritual energy], reaching the Eleventh Heaven [the eleventh layer of the conceptual heavens within a cultivator's internal world] would likely have been her absolute limit.

Yet now, with the assistance of a single External Elixir, she could finally make the attempt.

Taking a deep breath, Lyra Jiang drew the Mana from the External Elixir entirely into her body. With a sweep of her sleeve, she then unleashed a symphony of her Divine Ability [supernatural powers and techniques] and Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts].

In that fleeting Ksana-time, the Profound Yin Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Infernal Prison War Halberd surged forth alongside her other divine techniques. Their combined, ultimate strike finally cleaved open the barrier to the Twelvefold Heavens and Earth [the complete and perfect twelve-layered internal world, representing the pinnacle foundation for an Earth Immortal].

"Success!"

Heart swelling with joy, Lyra Jiang acted decisively. She planted five World-Opening Spiritual Root [mystical plants that stabilize and nourish a newly formed internal world] and activated the Five Elements Heaven-Supporting Formation [a formation array that uses the balance of the five elements to support the structure of heaven and earth]. This halted the collapsing skies and merging earth, solidifying her new world.

With this final step complete, she emerged from her Earth Immortal World [the internal world cultivated by an Earth Immortal realm expert], a smile gracing her features.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "My congratulations, my lady. With the opening of the Twelvefold Heavens and Earth, the future condensation of your Primordial Foundation [the supreme and most stable foundational state for an Earth Immortal] is all but assured."
