Chapter 1469 : The Pill of Boundless Stars

The Galaxy Star-Sand Pill is a sublime Alchemist [a master of the art of refining spiritual pills], forged from the boundless stars found within the ruins of destroyed universes.

Each of these ancient stars is colossal, with diameters spanning hundreds of thousands of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], their mass exceeding even that of the Supreme Yang [a supreme celestial body] from the great cosmos of a previous life.

A single vial of the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill contains the essence of the Great Derivation Cosmic Cycle Number [a grand cosmic cycle number], comprising three million, six hundred and fifty thousand grains of silvery Ronan star-sand.

The energy contained within such a vast Galaxy Star-Sand Pill is truly inexhaustible. The primordial Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things] it transforms is so immense and profound that it could saturate an entire, unimaginably vast world spanning hundreds of millions of Li-length.

Thus, typically, an ordinary Early Stage Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to a personal world] Ancient Ancestor could advance an entire minor realm by consuming just one vial of the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill.

However, Eldrin Chen's foundation is astonishingly profound. His Earth Immortal World [the personal world of an Earth Immortal] possesses the grandeur of the Thirteen-Layered Heavens [a mythical cosmological structure of thirteen tiers]. Even after consuming this pill of boundless energy, it proved insufficient to fully saturate the primordial Qi within his Earth Immortal World.

Thus, time flowed like a river. In the blink of an eye, eight Millennium [a cycle of one thousand years] had passed.

By the time Eldrin Chen had completely refined the vial of Galaxy Star-Sand Pill into primordial Qi, he discovered that the energy within myself Earth Immortal World had been replenished by roughly one-fifth.

"A single vial of the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill can increase my reserves by nearly twenty percent," he mused.

"I still have five vials remaining. It seems reaching Earth Immortal Early Stage Perfection [the peak of the early stage for an Earth Immortal] will be more than sufficient." Continue your cultivation journey at audi novel.com.

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then retrieved and began refining the second vial of Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [a potent elixir that refines one's foundational energy].

Thus, time flowed onward. Over forty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. When the fiftieth millennium of Eldrin Chen's seclusion arrived, he finally opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath.

"Earth Immortal Early Stage Perfection [the pinnacle of the early stage of the Earth Immortal realm]."

Eldrin Chen whispered to himself, a trace of profound satisfaction gracing his features.

After tens of thousands of years in secluded cultivation, having refined nearly six vials of Galaxy Star-Sand Pill, the World's Primordial Qi [the foundational, chaotic energy of a nascent world] within him had finally reached its absolute limit, a state where no further advancement was possible.

To cleave open the cosmic wilderness; to condense the Primordial Chaos Essence [the purest essence of primordial chaos].

These twelve words perfectly encapsulated the essence of cultivation within the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of cultivators who have internalized a world].

The principle lay in continuously accumulating World's Primordial Qi, then refining and compressing it into Heaven and Earth Origin Power [the fundamental power that constitutes and expands a world].

As the Heaven and Earth Origin [the measure of a world's foundational power] increased, the internal world would continuously grow and expand. Ultimately, upon reaching Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the absolute peak of the Earth Immortal realm], one gained the potential to condense the 'Primordial Chaos Essence'.

The 'Primordial Chaos Essence' possessed boundless, miraculous uses. Not only could it vastly enhance an Earth Immortal's combat prowess, but it was also said to possess the wondrous ability to partially mend deficiencies in one's cultivation foundation.

Most crucially, at the moment of breaking through to the Heaven Immortal realm, the Primordial Chaos Essence [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all things originate] can undergo Reverse to Innate [a profound process of returning to one's original, innate state], transforming into Innate Qi [the pure, foundational energy one is born with].

The greater the quantity of Primordial Chaos Essence [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all things originate], the greater the certainty of condensing Innate Qi [the pure, foundational energy one is born with] upon the breakthrough to Heaven Immortal.

Returning to the main point, for Eldrin Chen, the current Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational essence of a cultivator's inner world] is insufficient; the amount needed to condense Primordial Chaos Essence [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all things originate] is still lacking.

To advance further, he needs to refine all this World's Primordial Qi [the fundamental creative energy of a world] into World's Primordial Essence Power [the fundamental, creative power inherent to a world's core]. This would allow him to break through the Great Bottleneck of Middle Stage Earth Immortal, triggering a metamorphosis in his Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational essence of a cultivator's inner world].

Once this breakthrough is achieved, his Earth Immortal World [the inner world cultivated by an Earth Immortal] would expand significantly. The depth of his Mana [the spiritual energy used to power techniques and treasures] would increase by half, and most crucially, its quality would undergo a profound transformation.

Do not underestimate this fifty percent increase. The qualitative leap in Mana [the spiritual energy used to power techniques and treasures] alone would drastically amplify the power of the Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] and Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact used by immortals] a cultivator could unleash.

Therefore, an Ancient Ancestor at the Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal realm could, at minimum, withstand the combined assault of two Third Level Earth Immortal cultivators.

If Eldrin Chen were to reach this stage, his combat prowess would undergo a tremendous metamorphosis, allowing him to rival those at Earth Immortal Great Perfection without question.

However, accomplishing this step is no simple feat. To trigger the metamorphosis of Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational essence of a cultivator's inner world], sufficient Primordial Source [the original, foundational source energy] and World's Primordial Qi [the fundamental creative energy of a world] are required.

Generally speaking, to transform the Primordial Source [the original, foundational source energy] of an Earth Immortal World [the inner world cultivated by an Earth Immortal], having opened Threefold Heavens [a measure of an Earth Immortal's inner world's development] is the minimum threshold. Falling short of this would mean insufficient Primordial Source [the original, foundational source energy], leading to failure in the attempt to break through to Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal.

Beyond this, the metamorphosis of the Primordial Source [the foundational life-force of a cultivator's world] is not guaranteed to succeed.

Should the breakthrough fail, the World's Primordial Qi [the primordial spiritual energy accumulated over hundreds of millennia] would be utterly depleted, and the Earth Immortal World [the inner world cultivated by an Earth Immortal] itself would suffer grievous wounds.

In ages past, the Verdant Stream Ancient Progenitor, when attempting to ascend to the Seventh Level Earth Immortal [the seventh tier of the Earth Immortal realm], failed ten consecutive times precisely because he had only opened a Fivefold Heaven [an Earth Immortal world with five foundational layers], resulting in insufficient Heaven and Earth Origin [the foundational power of heaven and earth within one's inner world] within myself.

Even during his tenth attempt, when he refined the Dao Source [the condensed essence of a cultivator's Dao path] of the Lord of Thousand Dragon Lake to greatly augment his own Primordial Essence Power [the refined power of primordial essence], he ultimately still failed the breakthrough.

For Eldrin Chen, having opened the Thirteen-Layered Heavens [an Earth Immortal world with thirteen foundational layers], his Heaven and Earth Origin Power [the foundational power of heaven and earth] was four to five times greater than that of an ordinary Early Stage Earth Immortal. Thus, he naturally faced no danger of Primordial Source insufficiency.

However, to break through to Fourth Heaven Earth Immortal [the fourth tier of the Earth Immortal realm], he still needed to fully condense that abundant World's Primordial Qi into Primordial Essence Power. This required the patient, grinding work of several hundred thousand years. Original English translation available at (audio-novel.com).

Eldrin Chen did not have the time for such a step and thus decided to rely on the power of a Pill.

"The Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill [a supreme elixir brimming with vast primordial energy, capable of activating the power of the celestial poles] is filled with majestic primordial energy and can activate the power of the Two Poles of Heaven and Earth [the celestial north and south poles, sources of immense magnetic force], causing the power of the world's magnetic field to increase a hundredfold for ten thousand years."

"Once this pill is refined, I can harness the magnetic field of the Two Poles of Heaven and Earth to rapidly compress the World's Primordial Qi, aiding me in breaking through the threshold to Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the middle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] within a few Millennium [a period of one thousand years]."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself and immediately emerged from his Seclusion Chamber [a chamber used for secluded cultivation].

He entered the Alchemy Chamber and gazed upon the Extreme Yang Flower and the Extreme Yin Fruit, yet he did not immediately begin the refinement process.

Both the Extreme Yin Fruit and the Extreme Yang Flower were precious ancient herbs of the Eighth Rank High Grade tier, each possessing staggering value to Eldrin Chen. To waste even a single one would be a profound loss.

Feeling considerable pressure, Eldrin Chen first refined several batches of lower-grade Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill to hone his skills.

After several consecutive batches of Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill achieved a Pill Success Rate exceeding eighty percent, Eldrin Chen seized the moment while his touch was perfect to begin crafting the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill.

As anticipated, this session of Alchemy proceeded quite smoothly, yielding two Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill in a single attempt.

"A satisfactory result," he murmured.

Gazing at the two Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill, a faint smile touched Eldrin Chen's lips.

Successfully refining two Eighth Rank High Grade Treasure Pill at once was clear proof that his Alchemy skill was formidable even within the Eighth Rank High Grade tier.

Moreover, he had an inkling that his current mastery of Alchemy might be even greater, merely constrained by a slight insufficiency in his Mana reserves.

If he could advance to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm and then attempt to refine the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill again, his Pill Success Rate would likely increase by at least ten percent.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen ceased his Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual pills and elixirs] and returned to his Blessed Land [a personal cultivation realm or sanctum]. There, he consumed the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill [a supreme elixir that harmonizes the opposing forces of Yin and Yang] and entered seclusion to attempt his breakthrough.

"Hmmmm—"

Upon swallowing the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill, Eldrin Chen immediately felt two blindingly brilliant auroras erupt from the northern and southern poles within his Earth Immortal World [the internal world of an Earth Immortal cultivator].

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time], boundless, magnificent polar light flooded the entire world. Within the vast expanse of his Earth Immortal World, the power of the magnetic fields surged by more than a hundredfold.

Instantly, the World's Primordial Qi [the foundational, chaotic spiritual energy of a world] began to churn like storm clouds. Compressed by the endless magnetic forces, it finally condensed into wisps of Heaven and Earth Origin [the pure, primordial essence from which Heaven and Earth were born].

Time lost all meaning. After an immeasurable duration, when the last vestiges of World's Primordial Qi had been utterly transformed into boundless Primordial Source [the ultimate, undifferentiated source of all existence], the Heaven and Earth Origin Power [the power derived from Heaven and Earth Origin] within Eldrin Chen's body finally underwent a startling metamorphosis.
