Chapter 1369 : Heaven and Earth as the Crucible, Yin and Yang as the Fire

More importantly, within the chaos existed the legendary Primordial Qi, and even Primordial Marvels and Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

In the past, when the Crimson Sun Halberd—the innate treasure that accompanied the fallen Sun God—was seized, he ventured into the primordial chaos himself to compensate for his diminished combat prowess.

It is said that the Sunset Celestial Sovereign had not ventured far when he obtained a wisp of Primordial Qi, refining it into the Primordial Treasure—the 9 Dragons Ancient Cauldron. For ordinary Celestial Immortals, the chaotic aura poses a grave threat. Traversing the primordial chaos would rapidly deplete both their spiritual energy and primordial essence.

If 1 were to traverse it for an extended period and exhaust their spiritual power before returning to the immortal realm, they would be left with no choice but to await death.

If Eldrin were to set foot in the Celestial Immortal Realm, coupled with his mastery of the Primordial Chaos Origin and cultivation of the Indestructible Primordial Body, the chaotic expanse of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains would be as traversable as level ground to him, with no risk of depleting his spiritual power.

By then, Eldrin would be able to explore the Chaos for extended periods, acquiring resources that would far surpass those available to ordinary Celestial Immortals. His cultivation speed would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.

The former Violet Immortal Lord was able to cultivate to the verge of challenging the Dao Ancestor and Immortal Sage realm in merely 8,000,000 years not solely due to his peerless innate talent, but more importantly because he possessed the Chaos Cauldron for protection.

Legend has it that above Innate Spiritual Treasures lie Innate Supreme Treasures, above which exist Chaos Spiritual Treasures, and beyond even those stands the paramount Chaos Supreme Treasures.

And the Chaos Cauldron in Violet Immortal Lord’s hand was none other than the legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Unfazed by the Chaos Cauldron’s protective aura, the Violet Immortal Lord was able to wander freely through the primordial chaos at an early stage, acquiring a wealth of rare resources—among them, Primordial Qi and even the Indestructible Radiance of Primordiality.

With these resources, Violet Immortal's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In just a few million years, he had traversed a cultivation path that would take others several kalpas to complete.

And the wealth in Violet Immortal Lord's possession was equally staggering. Legend had it that he alone had cultivated 9 supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures—artifacts renowned throughout the immortal realms for their awe-inspiring power.

Those 9 innate spiritual treasures were revered as the Violet 9 Treasures, any single 1 of which could make even a supreme Great Luo Golden Immortal covet them. Moreover, the 3 most powerful among the 9 innate spiritual treasures had even been nurtured by him to the rank of innate supreme treasures.

With such immense wealth, Purple Immortal Lord is renowned as 1 of the few with the most profound accumulation beneath the Dao Ancestor realm—no wonder he dares to challenge the realm of Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage.

These secrets were something Eldrin had only heard rumors about; for the most part, he remained entirely unaware.

He was unaware of the true marvels of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, only faintly sensing that with the complete cultivation of his World-Creating True Form this time, he might have stumbled upon an extraordinary opportunity.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke aloud: "Now that I have mastered the Laws and perfected my Primordial Chaos Body, the time has come to pursue the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit."

Lyra nodded, yet spoke with a grave tone: "Given your foundational aptitude, the difficulty of condensing a flawless Kaidao Dao Fruit would undoubtedly be monumental."

"Even a 9 Tribulations Dao Source would be utterly useless to you. What do you intend to do?"

Eldrin pondered slightly before speaking after a moment, "There are 3 methods to condense the Dao Fruit. The first is the Path of Austere Cultivation. Given 1 million years of devoted practice, I am confident I could achieve perfection through this method."

"The second method involves refining the Source of the Dao, using its power to condense a Dao Fruit." "The third approach relies on external forces to forcibly coalesce the Dao Fruit."

Lyra frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Among these 3 methods, the first 1 is certainly not feasible.

In this great tribulation, they had offended numerous formidable foes. If Eldrin did not break through to the Earth Immortal realm, retribution would inevitably find them in time.

They had no backing, were not direct descendants of the Supreme Grotto-Heaven, and without a breakthrough in their cultivation, relying solely on their own strength to survive for a million years was nearly an impossible feat.

Yet the second method was even more impossible. The Dao Origins that could be of use to Eldrin must, at the very least, be those that had stepped into the forbidden realm.

Beings who set foot in this realm are once in a million years rare. Throughout the entire Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea, only 2 have achieved this in the past million years: Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name).

Even beyond the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, those supreme prodigies who have set foot in this realm are mostly direct descendants of peerless grotto-heavens.

Even if they were not direct inheritors of a grotto-heaven, any immortal who set foot in this realm would not linger long at this stage. They would likely enter seclusion immediately to strive for the Earthly Immortal realm.

Thus, all things considered, obtaining a Dao Origin surpassing 10 calamities was fundamentally a near-impossible endeavor.

"Given the circumstances, the only viable option appears to be the third method." Lyra spoke with a furrowed brow, unable to resist inquiring further, "Might I ask how exactly this method utilizes external forces?"

Eldrin did not answer immediately. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "The method of borrowing external power is to harness the very forces of heaven and earth." "Using the cosmos as a crucible and the duality of yin and yang as flames, 1 can refine a lifetime of cultivation into a flawless Dao Fruit, sealed within this vessel."

"This..."

Lyra (Person Name) was greatly startled, her expression involuntarily turning profoundly solemn.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) method, this meant harnessing the power of the celestial realm to refine oneself as if 1 were a cauldron of immortal elixir.

Noticing the expression on Lyra's face, Eldrin showed no surprise. He spoke calmly, "The Heaven-Defying Dao Fruit is the culmination of a celestial being's lifelong cultivation. Its difficulty and power vary from individual to individual."

"Ordinary immortals, with only a Great Perfection foundation in immortal ascension, possess a foundation as fragile as clay. The Dao Fruits they condense are merely of the lowest grade, making the process of condensing a Dao Fruit naturally not particularly difficult."

"Immortals who have cultivated the Primordial Chaos True Body or mastered the Laws, with foundations as unshakable as mountains and boulders, can indeed achieve a mid-grade Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit—yet this demands meticulous refinement through rigorous cultivation."

"Those who cultivate both the Primordial True Body and the Laws possess foundations comparable to Primal Chaos Iron, capable of condensing a flawless, impeccable Superior Dao Fruit. Yet to forge such a fruit, 1 must endure thousands of temperings and endless refinements before it takes form."

At this point, Eldrin paused briefly before shaking his head and saying, "For physical foundations like ours—comparable to immortal gold or even primordial chaos iron—condensing a flawless Dao Fruit is beyond challenging."

"Either through external aid, through arduous cultivation lasting 1 million or even several million years, or by undertaking extraordinary feats beyond mortal means." Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) fell into contemplative silence.

After a moment of contemplation, she couldn't help but ask, "How is this method implemented, and how can I assist you?" "The celestial realm as heaven, the netherworld as earth—fuse them into a single crucible, then refine with the flames of yin and yang. This shall aid my path to enlightenment." Eldrin (Person Name) wore a pensive expression as he methodically explained his technique.

As he continued his account, Lyra grew increasingly astonished, unable to help but feel shocked by Eldrin's ideas.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) reasoning, refining a cultivation base like his would require an immense external force capable of exerting sufficient pressure to facilitate his breakthrough.

Thus, the heavens and earth must serve as the crucible. By "heavens," it refers to the Immortal Realm, while "earth" signifies the Netherworld where the Underworld resides.

Eldrin needed to journey to the convergence point between the realms of Yin and Yang, where he would deploy a grand formation to harness the powers of the Celestial Realm and the Netherworld. There, he would fuse the forces of heaven and earth within a single crucible, creating the sacred ground for forging his flawless Dao Fruit.

And for Yin Yang as Fire, it requires both Yin and Yang flames to achieve balance within the cauldron.

Yin Fire is the flame of the boundless Netherworld's essence, while Yang Fire is the conflagration born of the Immortal Realm's great tribulation.

The Nether Qi was supremely Yin and cold, while the Tribulation Fire was utterly Yang and unyielding. Only when these 2 merged into the furnace flames of Yin and Yang could Eldrin's lifelong cultivation finally be refined into a flawless, leakless Dao Fruit.
