Chapter 1390 : The Well of Reincarnation's Secret

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], Vast Righteousness True Lord vanished into the Reincarnation Well [a mystical well said to be connected to the cycle of rebirth], wrapped within the 'Innate Path-Seeking Scripture'.

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-Seeking Scripture' was forged from a foundation of a single Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters [ancient symbols containing the essence of primordial chaos], fused with Innate Mother Energy [the fundamental, nurturing energy of creation] and Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme aura born from the primal chaos]. It was an exceedingly rare volume of an Innate Ancient Scroll [a scripture born from the fundamental laws of existence, not created by mortal or immortal hands].

Imperial Sovereign Jiang's 'Scripture of Innate Primordial Breath' could cultivate 'Innate Energy' [pure energy from the dawn of creation], Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a spiritual light of unbreakable purity born from innate laws], and even the 'Innate Primordial Breath' required for legendary Innate Supreme Treasure [treasures that are manifestations of the universe's fundamental principles].

If the 'Scripture of Innate Primordial Breath' could be considered a simplified version of the Primordial Chaos Scripture, then this book embodied another facet of the Primordial Chaos Scripture's profound utility.

This 'Innate Path-Seeking Scripture' possessed by Vast Righteousness True Lord was an Innate Ancient Scroll capable of enhancing a cultivator's comprehension and enlightenment.

After his Reincarnation [the process of being reborn into a new life or form], as long as Vast Righteousness True Lord continuously contemplated this scripture, his own aptitude for enlightenment would ceaselessly rise.

Ultimately, with the passage of time, Vast Righteousness True Lord's talent and insight would rival that of an Innate Heavenly God Being [a divine being born from the fundamental forces of heaven], his innate gifts and comprehension not inferior to the most ancient of Quasi-Sage Imperial Lord [Imperial Lords on the very cusp of Sagehood], and perhaps even surpass them.

"In ages past, Imperial Sovereign Jiang obtained two Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters and from them derived the Scripture of Innate Primordial Breath,"

"Now, Senior Vast Righteousness has acquired one Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters and has likewise derived the Innate Inquiry Scripture."

Eldrin Chen's thoughts stirred subtly, his gaze shifting towards Silas Chen who stood nearby.

Silas Chen's heart trembled faintly, and he could not help but speak out, "Uncle Eldrin."

"Mm." Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod.

Though a thousand words swirled within her heart, they remained unspoken, held back by a final hesitation.

Without another word, she cast one last, profound look at Eldrin Chen before turning resolutely and flying into the depths of the Reincarnation Well [a mystical well said to guide souls into their next life].

"Ah, such a devoted soul," Eldrin Chen sighed inwardly.

Watching her depart without a backward glance, Eldrin Chen felt a pang of melancholy. Without delay, he channeled the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme, formless energy from the dawn of creation] to envelop the Primordial Chaos Scripture [an ancient scripture inscribed with the fundamental laws of chaos] and sent it flying after her.

The several hundred Primordial Chaos Ancient Characters [primordial symbols containing the essence of chaos] swirled and chased after Silas Chen. In the end, two of the ancient characters merged directly into the core of her soul.

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

The Primordial Chaos Scripture was a relic of extraordinary origin. Within its brief text of a few hundred characters, each individual symbol was an invaluable Primordial Chaos Ancient Character, a treasure beyond measure.

The number of Ancient Script Characters one can obtain depends not only on one's own Opportunity and Fortune and innate talent, but even more so on the level of one's True Spirit [the foundational spiritual essence of a cultivator].

Back in the day, even with the prodigious talent of Imperial Sovereign Jiang, he only managed to obtain two such characters. Who could have imagined that now, Silas Chen would also receive two.

"*Hummm—*"

Just as Eldrin Chen was marveling, the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme primordial energy of creation] and the Innate Mother Energy [the foundational nurturing energy of all existence] flowed into the two ancient characters.

The characters and the two energies intertwined endlessly, ultimately transforming into an Ancient Scripture composed of several hundred ancient characters.

Even Eldrin Chen could not see the scripture's full form, only discerning some of its key characters. His brow furrowed slightly in surprise.

Upon that Innate Ancient Scripture [a primordial cultivation manual born from the world's inception], five astonishingly profound characters were inscribed.

They read—"*The Innate Primordial Simplicity Scripture*."

"She actually possesses such profound Creation [the power to create and shape reality]."

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

Primordial Simplicity is one of the Innate Five Ultimates, and among the Boundless Chaos Universe, it is one of the most primordial and ancient Great Path.

Silas Chen carried this Innate Primordial Simplicity Scripture into his reincarnation. His foundational origin is profound enough to rival an Innate Heavenly God Being born in response to destiny's call. His Future achievements are likely to be boundless and immeasurable.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen sighed and said, "So be it. I hope that one day you will attain the Great Path and we shall meet again within the Immortal Domain."

"..."

After sending the two into Reincarnation, Eldrin Chen did not linger long in the Netherworld Realm.

He bid farewell to Verdant Seal Patriarch and returned to the Returning Abyss Sea Region, where he found that Exquisite Jiang had already emerged from her secluded cultivation.

Through her years of cultivation, Exquisite Jiang's foundation had been perfected, and her mastery of Divine Ability had reached its absolute zenith.

Her five World-Opening Spiritual Root—the Vast Cold Immortal Osmanthus, the Heavenly Heart Divine Willow, the Netherworld Nether Antiquity Locust, the Lingering Sun Fire Mulberry, and that Heaven-Piercing Heaven-Linking Tree—had all advanced to the World-Opening Realm.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen still spoke up, "My lady, there is no need to rush. Let me first refine an External Elixir for you."

With these words, Eldrin Chen entered the Alchemy Chamber and began refining the External Elixir for Exquisite Jiang.

Considering that Exquisite Jiang was about to open her Twelfth Heavenly Layer [the twelfth and final layer of the foundational world within a cultivator's dantian], Eldrin Chen prepared to refine an Eighth-Rank External Elixir [a supreme-grade pill that stores vast external energy for a cultivator to absorb] for her this time.

Exquisite Jiang's foundation far surpassed that of an ordinary Nine Tribulations Immortal. According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, with her profound foundation, she should still have sufficient capacity to refine and absorb an External Elixir even while channeling the power of two High-Grade World-Opening Treasures [supreme artifacts used to stabilize and expand an inner world during its creation].

However, refining an Eighth-Rank External Elixir was no simple feat. Eldrin Chen selected the highest quality pearl from among the seven World-Opening Vast Sea Divine Pearls [divine pearls containing the essence of a primordial sea, used in world-creation alchemy]. He meticulously purified and refined it over and over, finally succeeding after a full millennium of dedicated effort.

Watching the External Elixir finally take form, Exquisite Jiang could not help but express her relief. "With this External Elixir," she said, a note of hope in her voice, "my hopes of opening the Twelfth Heavenly Layer are within reach."

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

The energy reserves within this single External Elixir were comparable to the total spiritual power of a Fourth Level Earth Immortal. It would be more than enough to fuel Exquisite Jiang's final, decisive push.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke. "Set your mind at ease for the World-Opening [the critical process of creating and stabilizing a new layer of one's inner world], my lady. I will guard your cultivation."

"Very well."

Exquisite Jiang gave a slight nod of acknowledgment. Without further delay, she stepped into the Boundless Void [a conceptual space of pure potentiality where cultivators forge their inner realms] and commenced the World-Opening.

Given Exquisite Jiang's formidable foundation, the initial stages of World-Opening posed little difficulty. She unleashed her full power, and before long, she had successfully carved out the Ninefold Heaven [the first nine foundational layers of the inner world].

However, when she opened the Ten-Layered Heaven [the tenth layer of the foundational world within a cultivator's dantian], she already felt a significant amount of pressure.

Although her Supreme Lunar Immortal Body [a top-tier immortal physique aligned with lunar essence] was a premier Immortal Body [a supreme physical constitution for cultivation], it still fell considerably short compared to Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Indestructibility Body [the legendary physique of unbreakable unity].

Relying solely on the strength of her physical form, supporting the Ten-Layered Heaven was the absolute limit for the Supreme Lunar Immortal Body.

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang employed her Cultivable Earth Kun Origin Disk [a treasure disk embodying the nurturing essence of earth] to stabilize the land, used the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Cauldron [a cauldron representing cosmic harmony and desolation] to anchor the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of her inner world], and further supported heaven and earth with the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword [a divine sword capable of slaying immortals] and her Second Primordial Spirit [a powerful spiritual avatar], greatly alleviating the burden on herself.

Feeling the pressure lessen dramatically, she immediately drew upon the spiritual power from the Positive Water Verdant Lotus Throne [a throne of pure water and verdant lotus essence] and then activated the Primordial One Energy Grasping Hand [a divine technique to grasp and manipulate primal energy]. She unleashed a continuous barrage of Divine Ability [supernatural techniques], including the Great Five Elements Pure Lunar Divine Thunder [a mighty thunder technique fusing the five elements with pure lunar power], finally cleaving open the eleventh layer of heaven.

By this point, Exquisite Jiang's spiritual energy was more than half depleted. Without the aid of an External Elixir [a supreme pill containing vast external spiritual power], opening the eleventh heaven would likely have been her ultimate limit.

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

Taking a deep breath, Exquisite Jiang inhaled the entire reservoir of spiritual power contained within the External Elixir. With a sweep of her sleeve, she summoned forth all her Divine Ability and Immortal Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts used by immortals].

In that fleeting moment, the Primal Shadow Heaven-Slaying Sword [a sword of primordial shadow that can slay heavens], the Infernal Prison War Halberd [a halberd imbued with the power of a prison-like inferno], and a host of other Divine Ability erupted forth in a concerted, ultimate strike. This supreme effort finally succeeded in splitting open the Twelve-Layered Heaven and Earth [the twelfth and final foundational layer of heaven and earth within a cultivator's dantian].

"Success!"

Exquisite Jiang's heart surged with joy. Without hesitation, she planted five World-Opening Spiritual Root and used the Five Elements Heaven-Supporting Formation [a grand formation that channels the power of the five elements to prop up the heavens] to stabilize the firmament, halting the impending collapse of the newly formed heavens and earth.

With this crucial step complete, she finally emerged from the Earth Immortal World [the nascent inner world of an Earth Immortal], a smile of profound satisfaction gracing her features.

Witnessing her success, Eldrin Chen smiled warmly and offered his congratulations. "My felicitations, my lady. Having successfully opened a Twelve-Layered Heaven and Earth [a world of twelve celestial strata, representing the pinnacle foundation for an Earth Immortal], your future condensation of a Primordial Unity Foundation [the ultimate, unified foundational essence for ascension] is now virtually assured."
