Chapter 1430 : Secrets of the Abyssal Immortal Pool
"For our cultivation to progress swiftly, relying solely on the sustenance from the three Blessed Lands [places of immense spiritual energy and natural blessings] of Dusk Sun, Starry Sky, and Eldrin, the Abyss is still somewhat insufficient."
"We must secure the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature, self-contained universe within the Yin Plane, the realm of spirits and the dead]. Otherwise, after we break through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the fourth major stage of Earth Immortal cultivation], we will face the predicament of insufficient resources, and our cultivation progress will inevitably slow down drastically."
The women all nodded in agreement. Lyra Jiang spoke up: "To capture the Yin Plane Microcosm, we need to make further preparations to increase our combat strength."
"I will dispatch more people to search for Baleful Qi [a malevolent, destructive form of spiritual energy], so I can cultivate the Grand Five Elements Divine Thunder Miasma [a supreme divine ability combining the power of the five elements with divine thunder and miasma] as soon as possible."
With that said, the group spoke no more, each returning to their secluded cultivation. Eldrin Chen, however, made his way to the heart of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [Eldrin's personal Blessed Land], to the banks of the Abyssal Immortal Pool [a celestial pool of immense spiritual power within the Abyssal Abode].
Within the Immortal Pool at this moment, a great cauldron engraved with intricate dragon patterns floated and sank with a gentle rhythm.
The Black Dragon World-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary cauldron artifact of immense power] had now recovered to the level of a High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a top-tier treasure capable of splitting heaven and earth], its power seemingly not far from its prime.
Yet Eldrin Chen paid it no heed on this visit. He stepped into the Immortal Pool, opened a concealed Void Rift [a tear in the fabric of space], and stepped into the unknown space beyond.
Within this unknown space, the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [a peerless divine sword embodying supreme unity, thunder, the abyss, and myriad tribulations] floated silently, radiating a dazzling, eye-searing brilliance of lightning.
But its radiance was as dim as a firefly's glow compared to the profound, dark luminescence emanating from a certain 'pearl' residing within the space. "Abyssal Pearl [a mythical pearl containing the essence and power of the primordial abyss]." Official source: audio-novel . com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.
Eldrin Chen murmured softly as he stood once more before the Abyssal Pearl. Gazing upon this entity that had become his bonded innate treasure [a supreme treasure intrinsically linked to a cultivator's soul and destiny], a complex tide of emotion, difficult to fully suppress, washed over his heart.
He remained silent for a long moment before finally speaking, his voice low. "Within that Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature, self-contained world of pure Yin energy], what did you perceive?" The Abyssal Pearl shimmered faintly in response, and after a pause, a hazy, indistinct spiritual sense [a form of non-verbal communication used by cultivators] reached out to him.
"At the terminus of all heavens, after the cosmos is extinguished." "All things reach their final conclusion; the myriad existences return to the Abyss."
In that instant, Eldrin Chen understood. His eyes snapped open, revealing a light of unprecedented clarity. What was the Abyss? The terminus of all heavens, the final destination of the universe, the place where all things ultimately returned—that was the domain of the Abyss.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure, the 'Abyssal Pearl', was the very manifestation of the Dao of the Abyss [the fundamental principle or path of ultimate dissolution and return].
This treasure possessed the ability to draw upon the subtle, lingering Dao imprints [the residual marks left by the principles of existence] from the moment of cosmic destruction, from the very process of all things returning to the Abyss. It used this power to enhance its own might and accelerate the pace of its gestation.
As it stood now, this Abyssal Pearl only needed to absorb the power of those Dao imprints at the moment a Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller cosmos within the greater multiverse] met its end to complete its initial formation and take shape.
Understanding dawned. Eldrin Chen spoke, his voice steady. "So, you wish for me to remain alone within the Minor Universe at the very last moment before the Yin Plane Microcosm is destroyed? To serve as your vessel for gathering those Dao imprints?"
"Ding."
The Abyssal Pearl shimmered once more, its faint light pulsing gently as if in affirmation of Eldrin Chen's words.
Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and then spoke, "But doing so would likely be incredibly perilous. What can I gain from it?" "Ding."
The Abyssal Pearl [a primordial treasure born from the essence of the abyss] shimmered faintly, and another hazy strand of divine consciousness flowed into Eldrin Chen's sea of consciousness [the spiritual mind-space of a cultivator].
Though this divine consciousness was indistinct, as the Abyssal Pearl was myself's companion-born treasure [a treasure that forms alongside a being's own essence], Eldrin Chen could still roughly grasp its meaning.
According to the Abyssal Pearl's message, as long as myself remained until the final moment, it was confident it could use the Great Dao of Space [the supreme principle governing spatial laws] to pull him back to this space.
Furthermore, when the time came, the Abyssal Pearl would also assist him in seizing two of the universe's Primordial Source Treasure [treasures born from the universe's foundational source energy].
Understanding this, Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he asked, "You have not yet fully formed. Can you truly wield the Great Dao of Space?"
The Abyssal Pearl conveyed another hazy thought. The gist was that without the Mana [the refined spiritual power of a cultivator] of a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm] to fuel it, it could not unleash the true might of the Great Dao [the supreme principles of cultivation].
However, once every million years, it could accumulate enough energy to activate the Great Dao of Space three times, ignoring all spatial blockades below the Great Luo [a supreme cultivation realm] level and pulling Eldrin Chen back to this space from anywhere.
Of course, this ability had its limits. Exceeding three uses would damage the Abyssal Pearl's Primordial Source [its foundational, origin-level essence], forcing it to fall from the grade of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born innately with the world] and be born prematurely.
Even so, Eldrin Chen was quite satisfied in his heart.
After all, with the capabilities of this Abyssal Pearl [an innate spiritual treasure of immense defensive power], Eldrin Chen essentially gained three life-saving talismans every million years. Once he cultivated to the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the advanced stage of the Heaven Immortal cultivation realm] and fully refined this Abyssal Pearl, relying on the might of this Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos, possessing unparalleled power], he would likely find few rivals even while traversing the entire Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of cultivation above the Earth Immortal stage].
From the current perspective, only with this Abyssal Pearl as his ultimate trump card did Eldrin Chen truly possess the capability to scheme for a universe-level Primordial Source Treasure [a legendary treasure containing the foundational source power of a cosmos].
With the Abyssal Pearl serving as his safeguard, a sense of calm settled within Eldrin Chen's heart.
In the time that followed, he remained within the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of profound spiritual energy and tranquility], continuing his dedicated and secluded cultivation.
In the ensuing years, Eldrin Chen divided his efforts between relentless cultivation and organizing his accumulated insights, beginning to deduce the cultivation techniques for the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of cultivation where one becomes an immortal bound to the earth].
The Primordial Chaos Ancient Scripture [a supreme cultivation art created by Eldrin Chen, drawing upon primordial chaos] that Eldrin Chen had created had actually been deduced by him to the Early Stage Earth Immortal [the initial phase of the Earth Immortal realm] many years prior. Now, with this rare period of leisure, he finally began to further deduce his own cultivation method. Experience the full epic at www . audio-novel.com.
From the beginning of his cultivation journey until now, a span of roughly two hundred thousand years, Eldrin Chen had successively obtained the legacies of multiple powers such as the Setting Sun Blessed Land [a blessed land associated with the setting sun], the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect [an ancient and prestigious cultivation sect], the Crimson Sun Blessed Land [a blessed land bathed in crimson sunlight], and Thousand Dragons Lake [a powerful force associated with a thousand dragons], among others. Among these were more than twenty volumes of the Ancient Scroll of World-Opening [ancient scriptures detailing techniques related to world creation].
Using this vast accumulation as his foundation, Eldrin Chen found the deduction of his Primordial Chaos Ancient Scripture to proceed with remarkable smoothness.
Approximately thirty thousand years later, he had successfully deduced the Primordial Chaos Ancient Scripture to the realm of Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm, consisting of nine progressive layers].
After the Cultivation Art [a systematic method or scripture for cultivation] was fully organized, Eldrin Chen took stock of his own cultivation realm. Instantly, many past confusions were swept away as if a dam had burst, and a new direction for his future cultivation path became clear.
Having completed the organization of his cultivation arts, Eldrin Chen finally returned to a state of tranquil cultivation. Seizing the opportunity, he advanced the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant to the Heaven-Opening Realm.
Thereafter, he frequently engaged in Dual Cultivation [a cultivation method where two partners harmonize their energies for mutual benefit] with his several wives using the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant. As they jointly contemplated the Great Dao [the fundamental truth and principle underlying all existence], their cultivation bases imperceptibly deepened by several degrees.
Until one day, Solara personally came to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss and sought out Eldrin Chen and Lyra Jiang, stating, "The Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity or supreme cultivator] summons you and Nyssa to return."
"Oh?"
Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback and could not help but exchange a glance with Nyssa Qu.
Seeing Solara's anxious demeanor, Eldrin Chen did not delay. He said immediately, "I shall accompany you at once." With those words, he wasted no time and departed for the Glazed Blessed Land together with Nyssa Qu.
Upon his arrival at the Glazed Blessed Land, he was led to a secluded chamber. There, he discovered that Divine Lord Glaze appeared somewhat pale, and her aura seemed slightly unstable.
Witnessing this, Nyssa Qu asked with evident concern, "Sister, what has happened to you?" "It is nothing serious,"
Divine Lord Glaze replied, retrieving an Inner Core [the condensed spiritual essence core of a powerful demon beast] from her sleeve. "Not long ago, I journeyed to the Northern Sea Glacier Domain and slew a North Sea Mystic Turtle for you."
"Unexpectedly, I disturbed an Ancestor Mystic Turtle at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm [a realm just below that of a true Celestial Immortal]. In the ensuing clash, I suffered a minor setback." Dive deeper into the Dao at audio-novel`com.
