Chapter 1450 : A Forbidden Glimpse into the Abyss
Upon hearing this, everyone furrowed their brows slightly. Kael Chen could not help but remark, "A mere wisp of aura, yet it could provoke countless Yin Crow [a type of demonic crow associated with yin energy] to hunt it down. Its true form must be something truly earth-shattering."
Eldrin Chen nodded. Gathering the Six Paths [a profound cultivation realm] Yin Miasma energies together, he spoke, "The Yin Crow Ancient Fiend's Daoist title is Yin Crow, and he cultivates the Yin Crow Path. Perhaps there is some connection to the Myriad Crows Forbidden Zone [a dangerous, crow-infested restricted area]."
"Let me see what this truly represents."
As his words fell, Eldrin Chen activated the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao [a supreme divination art] to perform a deduction. In a fleeting moment, countless earth-shaking Rule Power [the power of cosmic laws] manifested, seeking to trace the mysteries of its Primordial Source [the original, fundamental source of all things].
At that very instant, he seemed to touch upon something of immense terror. A strand of terrifyingly potent Yin Miasma Great Dao [a supreme cultivation path or principle] surged back along the thread of his deduction, seeking to grievously wound Eldrin Chen who was performing the calculation.
Fortunately, at the same time, a faint Dao Mark within Eldrin Chen's body flickered into existence. Far away in the Abyss of the Abyssal End [a profound and distant abyssal realm], the Abyssal Pearl [a powerful innate spiritual treasure] rotated slightly, dissolving this backlash for him.
"This is..."
A cold sweat broke out on Eldrin Chen's forehead. In that fleeting moment, he had seemingly glimpsed something untouchable and suffered a backlash from a Great Dao taboo.
Had it not been for the Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from heaven and earth, possessing immense power] Abyssal Pearl resolving it for him, he likely would have been severely injured by the backlash.
"Unfathomable, untouchable... I will still see what manner of thing you are." Read, share, and discuss at audio novel.com.
With the protection of his Innate Companion Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born with a cultivator, sharing a profound lifebound connection], the Abyssal Pearl, Eldrin Chen felt a sliver of reassurance settle in his heart. He immediately continued his divination.
As he persisted in his calculations, he finally divined the origin of that faint aura.
"A wisp of aura from the Innate Ancient Treasure [a primordial treasure born from the chaos of creation], the Yin Crow Pot."
Once the divination was complete, Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, revealing that this aura was, in fact, a trace from the Innate Ancient Treasure, the Myriad Crows Pot.
The origin of the Myriad Crows Forbidden Zone also became instantly clear. This treasure was an artifact from the Primordial Era [the mythic age of creation], the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a treasure intrinsically linked to its master's life force] of a mysterious Ancient Deity from the depths of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation].
It was divided into the Fire Crow Pot and the Yin Crow Pot, both of which were at the level of Innate Ancient Treasure. When combined, they formed the Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the fundamental principles of the cosmos], the 'Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Pot'.
During the final great war of the Primordial Era, that mysterious Ancient Deity from the depths of the Primordial Chaos had clashed with Qing Cang, the Great Deity in a cataclysmic confrontation that shook the Boundless Chaos [the infinite, chaotic expanse beyond the ordered realms].
After that battle, the mysterious Ancient Deity was slain and sealed by Qing Cang, the Great Deity, and its Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the 'Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Pot', was shattered in the conflict.
Later, Qing Cang, the Great Deity cast the fragments of the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Pot into the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, intending to slowly repair the treasure at a later time.
Alas, the perils of the Primordial Chaos and its Great Tribulation [a cosmic calamity of immense scale] were boundless. In the end, Qing Cang, the Great Deity failed to transcend that final trial.
After the fall of Qing Cang, the Great Deity, the fragments of the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Pot fell upon the borderlands between Yin-Yang [the opposing yet complementary forces of Yin and Yang], ultimately evolving into the Myriad Crows Forbidden Zone by drawing upon the power of the Immortal Domain [a realm of immortals] and the Yin-Yang forces.
This forbidden land is a place of boundless peril; even an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a mighty being from the ancient era of immortals] who ventures into its depths faces the danger of perishing.
Upon understanding the origin of this wisp of aura, Eldrin Chen spoke with a grave tone, "That mysterious ancient deity from the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] does not seem to be from the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad immortal realms]."
"Could it be that mysterious ancient deity is the legendary Chaos Demon God [a primordial demon god born from the Chaos]?"
Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then shook his head after a moment.
As far as he knew, Chaos Demon God were Innate Sacred Spirits [spirits born with innate sacred nature] birthed from the myriad Great Dao [the fundamental principles of existence] within the Primordial Chaos, born at the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm] perfection. The most powerful among them could even rival Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [an immortal sage who is an ancestor of the Dao].
If that mysterious ancient deity were truly a Chaos Demon God, it would likely have been exceedingly difficult for Qing Cang, the Great Deity to slay it.
Its Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a treasure bound to one's life and soul], the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Pot, was merely a lower-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure born from innate nature], seemingly lacking the overwhelming power of a true Chaos Demon God. This suggested its power was at most at the early to mid-stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"During the Primordial Era [the primordial age of creation], the Primordial Divine Court [the primordial court of the gods] of the Divine Race [the race of gods] held dominion over the Primordial Chaos, facing no rivals within the Boundless Immortal Domain [the boundless realm of immortals]."
"Yet, a Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly calamity] erupted then, leading to the complete decline of the Primordial Divine Court. This mysterious ancient deity also does not appear to be from the Three Thousand Immortal Domains."
"Could it be that beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad immortal realms], deep within the Boundless Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], there exists another domain?"
Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a terrifying notion flashing through his mind.
At this thought, his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly. He had to admit, this idea seemed utterly fantastical.
Yet, if his speculation held truth, then some past perplexities might finally find their explanation.
In ancient times, the Primordial Divine Court [the supreme ruling authority of the gods in the earliest age] held dominion over the Primordial Era [the first and most ancient epoch of creation]. It endured for immeasurable eons through countless Calamity Tribulation [cosmic cataclysms that reshape existence], its Divine Race [the race of gods] pressing down upon all the myriad races of the heavens until they could scarcely breathe.
The three Divine Sovereigns of the Primordial Divine Court presided over the Cosmos [the ordered universe], their boundless power at the Primordial Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state of existence] realm illuminating the endless Chaotic Cosmos [the vast, turbulent expanse of creation].

Without an external force to shatter this established order, and without the Solar Celestial Emperor rebelling against the Divine Race, the Human Race and the Demonic Tribe [tribes of demons and monstrous beings]—mere later-born creatures—would never have been able to rise up and overthrow their masters.
Clearly, by the end of the Primordial Era, the power contained within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains alone was utterly insufficient to break the established hierarchy of the Boundless Immortal Domain [the infinite realm of immortal existence].
Furthermore, when Eldrin Chen first ascended, he perceived that the Three Thousand Immortal Domains scattered within the endless Primordial Chaos seemed to be interconnected, forming a colossal, world-spanning formation. Each Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws] appeared to function as a Formation Eye [a core node or focal point of a mystical array].
Initially, Eldrin Chen believed this configuration served to suppress the turbulent currents of Primordial Chaos and maintain the stability of both the Three Thousand Immortal Domains and the Primal Immortal Domain [the original, foundational immortal realm].
Yet now it appears that the vast Formation [a complex arrangement of energy and symbols used for defense, attack, or cultivation] spanning the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [a collective term for the myriad realms and worlds of the immortal cultivators] seems to be guarding against some existence from beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, deep within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state of existence before the cosmos was ordered].
"Deep within the Primordial Chaos, there are also great enemies."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a vague inference forming in his heart.
He did not know from whence the being who wielded the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Pot [a legendary magical artifact of immense power] came, nor why it erupted into an ancient war with the Primordial Divine Court [the supreme celestial authority in the primordial era].
But he could vaguely surmise that at the end of the Primordial Era [the mythical first age of the cosmos], there must have been a past event difficult to trace.
For now, his cultivation level was far too low and feeble to touch upon the mysteries of that Primordial Era.
Yet he understood clearly that as long as his cultivation continued to advance, as he stepped into the Heaven Immortal [a high realm of immortal cultivation] and even the Great Luo Realm [a supreme realm of cultivation near the apex of power], the mysterious veil shrouding antiquity would eventually be lifted by him, piece by piece.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled wryly and said, "My current cultivation is too low. Why borrow trouble from the future?"
With this thought, he stored away that aura and looked towards the Immortal Domain [a realm or territory governed by immortals], saying, "Let us depart."
Seeing this, Lyra Jiang asked, "Where shall we go?"
"Let us go to Yin Crow Mountain," Eldrin Chen spoke, his gaze distant and profound. "Within that mountain lies a fragment of the Yin Crow Pot [a legendary magical vessel associated with the power of crows and shadow]."
After departing from the Myriad Crows Forbidden Zone, the group then proceeded towards the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea.
Starting from the border between the Yin-Yang [the fundamental dualistic forces of dark/passive and light/active in the cosmos], they flew upwards for several years. Finally, after traversing boundless heavens and earth, they arrived within the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea.
With the Heaven-Deceiving Secret Art [a supreme technique to conceal one's presence from cosmic detection] active, they would not be noticed by the Heavenly Dao [the supreme, impersonal governing principle of the cosmos]. Without lingering, they immediately set off for Yin Crow Mountain.
For this journey, Eldrin Chen possessed the Heaven-Fleeing Shuttle. That shuttle was a specialized treasure for traversing the void, and moreover, it was an Eighth Rank High Grade World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of the highest order, capable of parting the fabric of reality itself].
In terms of piercing through the Void [the empty space between worlds and dimensions], this treasure was considerably more potent than the Yin-Yang Void Realm.
Aided by this artifact, Eldrin Chen cleaved through the Void, arriving not long after at the outskirts of Yin Crow Mountain.
On this day, Eldrin Chen led the group, concealing themselves just beyond Yin Crow Mountain. He then looked at the map in his hand and said. For uninterrupted reading, go to @udio-novel.com.
