Chapter 1470 : The Expanding Cosmos of Divine Wonder

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], within the Earth Immortal World, the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and principle of the heavens], the Earthly Dao [the fundamental principle governing the earth and material world], the Five Extremities, the Six Heavens, the Seven Realms, and all manner of Rule [fundamental cosmic principles] and Laws of the Dao [the specific manifestations and applications of the Dao's principles] began to bloom with unprecedented divine wonder, bolstered by the Primordial Source [the original, undifferentiated essence from which all things emanate].

Eldrin Chen could clearly sense the Six Heavens and Seven Realms expanding, becoming ever more vast and boundless. The Five Extremities Celestial Pillars [the five cosmic pillars supporting the heavens at the cardinal points and center] were also growing taller and more majestic, standing like the Pillar of the Heavens [a title for a being of immense power who supports the cosmos] upholding the infinite heavens and earth.

The entire Abyssal Grand Realm was continuously expanding. The Rule Power [the power derived from comprehending cosmic principles] and the Heavenly Dao Origin [the primordial source energy of the Heavenly Dao] within the world were also undergoing astonishing transformations.

Simultaneously, within the Abyssal Grand Realm, the various Imperial Lord [a supreme title for a ruler of a heavenly domain] deities opened their eyes. Gazing upon the ever-expanding cosmos, expressions of awe and wonder dawned upon their faces.

"The heavens and earth are ascending."

Within the Grotto Abyss Heaven, foremost among the Six Heavens.

A figure of indescribable nobility opened his eyes. This was none other than the Six Heavens Abyssal Grotto Imperial Lord, Riverlord Chang. Contemplating the Primordial Source treasure before him, the 'Abyssal Grotto Flask', he could not help but murmur in admiration.

"In a mere two hundred thousand years, he has already reached the Middle Stage Earth Immortal. His talent, within the annals of the Purple Realm's history, is second only to the Purple Immortal Lord."

At the same time, within realms such as the Starry Heavens, Longevity Heaven, Frost Soul Realm, Southern Separation Realm, and Thunder Abyss Realm, one peerless Imperial Lord after another revealed expressions of profound reflection.

And high above, in the boundless Firmament, the Progenitor of the Heavenly Dao [the primordial ancestor and source of the Heavenly Dao] and the Progenitor of Earthly Dao [the primordial ancestor and source of the Earthly Dao] continued their celestial game of strategy.

Thalion Chen gazed upon the ever-expanding heavens and earth, then looked down at the supreme treasure of creation in his hand, the Heavenly Dao Seal [a divine seal embodying the authority of the Heavenly Dao]. A sigh of profound emotion escaped him. "He has broken through once more."

"With this breakthrough," he continued, "the Heaven and Earth Origin [the primordial source energy of heaven and earth] has undergone a metamorphosis. The authority we wield has grown even more potent. I fear our combined combat power may now rival that of a mid-stage World Creation [a realm where one possesses the power to shape and create worlds] cultivator."

Changqing Chen gave a slow, acknowledging nod, his voice tinged with emotion. "The few at the Five Extremities Celestial Pillars [the five celestial pillars marking the extremities of the world] are not far behind us. The Emperors of the Six Heavens and the Great Emperors of the Seven Realms, their combat strength has already stepped into the domain of the early-stage World Creation."

"Our sole shortcoming remains the lack of an Earth Immortal World [a personal inner world cultivated by Earth Immortals, a source of immense power]. Our Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by immortals] reserves fall far short of a true Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is rooted in and amplified by a personal world]. Yet, for a short time, if we join forces, we should be able to contend with a Late Stage Earth Immortal."

Meanwhile, high above in the Firmament, Eldrin Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Eldrin Chen observed the Abyssal Grand Realm [his personal dominion, a vast and profound realm], a slight nod of approval gracing his features. He perceived that the majestic Primordial Source [the foundational, chaotic energy from which all things are born] of the realm and its sheer vastness had both swelled by a full fifty percent.

Within the Abyssal Grand Realm, the various Imperial Lord [a title for powerful rulers who have attained a profound understanding of the Dao] who wielded Rule Power [the authority to impose laws and concepts upon reality] had also seen not insignificant growth in their combat prowess.

Though these Imperial Lord were still far from matching Eldrin Chen himself, they had become forces worthy of consideration.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen turned his senses inward to gauge his own strength. A brief assessment revealed that his Mana reserves had increased by over fifty percent, while the quality and potency of that Mana had risen by approximately thirty percent.

Such a monumental surge rendered Eldrin Chen's Mana even more profound, vast, and immeasurably deep.

"In terms of overall combat prowess, I have now stepped into the domain of Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm]."

"Perhaps I still cannot match those at Earth Immortal Great Perfection who have opened Seventh Heaven [the seventh and highest foundational heaven] or above, but against those who have only opened Sixfold Heavens [six foundational heavens], I am now not the slightest bit weaker."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a faint smile unconsciously gracing his lips.

After this breakthrough, he finally possessed a measure of self-preservation strength. Both his combat power and his ability to safeguard his life had undergone a tremendous ascent.

With his current cultivation, if he were to activate the Five-Colored Aurora Escape [a supreme movement technique manifesting as a five-colored aurora], aside from Heavenly Immortal Paragon [the supreme masters of the Heavenly Immortal realm], few would likely be able to catch him.

It could be said that henceforth within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, except for those Heavenly Immortal Paragon, even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the very threshold of the Celestial Immortal realm] would find it no easy task to slay him.

"It is time to end my seclusion."

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately strode out from his Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for deep meditation and cultivation].

Outside his chamber, Lyra Jiang and the others had been waiting for some time. Seeing him emerge, Lyra Jiang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Husband, on stepping into the realm of Middle Stage Earth Immortal [the middle stage of the Earth Immortal realm]."

"Your own foundations have also reached perfection. It seems your breakthroughs are not far off either."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile, then retrieved the remaining Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill and handed them to Lyra Jiang. He continued, "I intend to open the cauldron once more to refine two more batches of Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill."

"Please wait a short while; it should be completed soon."

As everyone urgently needed to break through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm, Eldrin Chen did not delay. He immediately proceeded to the Alchemy Chamber.

Following his significant cultivation breakthrough, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] and Mana [the spiritual energy used to cast arts and techniques] had grown considerably. Now, as he refined the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill once more, he found the process increasingly intuitive and far less strenuous.

After roughly several Millennium [a period of one thousand years], Eldrin Chen successfully completed this batch of Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill.

He had initially expected this batch to yield three pills at most. To his surprise, the process proceeded with exceptional smoothness, and this single refinement actually produced four Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill. Discover more cultivation stories at audio-novel*com.

"Perhaps it is because I have just broken through, riding a wave of triumph, and my mental state is at its peak," he mused.

"Regardless, producing four pills from one batch is a welcome surprise indeed."

Eldrin Chen spoke with delight. Refining an Eighth Rank High Grade Heaven-Opening Immortal Pill [a pill of immense power capable of aiding in major breakthroughs] and achieving a yield of four pills was no small feat.

For an Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Alchemist, this might be commonplace, but for an Eighth Rank High Grade Alchemist, it was a rare occurrence.

That Eldrin Chen could refine four pills in a single furnace batch demonstrated that his Alchemy skill was among the pinnacle even within the Eighth Rank High Grade tier. At this point, if he were to attempt a breakthrough to Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Alchemy, he would have at least a thirty to forty percent chance of success.

"While my hand is still hot, let's refine another batch to see."

After storing the four Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill, Eldrin Chen immediately commenced another refinement session.

Unfortunately, a slight misstep occurred during this batch, and in the end, Eldrin Chen only succeeded in refining three Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill.

Even so, Eldrin Chen was not disheartened. He had noted the cause of this error and believed he could avoid it in the future. He was confident that his next attempt would yield no fewer than four pills.

Having refined a total of seven Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill, Eldrin Chen did not delay. He promptly exited the Alchemy Chamber and delivered the pills to Verdant Consort and the others.

Upon receiving the Yin-Yang Dual Poles Pill, the group quickly entered their respective Seclusion Chamber. Within three Millennium, they broke through one after another, each successfully advancing to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm.

By the time the last among them, Ethan Chen, emerged from seclusion, all nine of the clan's Earth Immortal Progenitor had ascended to Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

"Excellent, excellent. It is good that you have all broken through."

On this day, within the Grand Hall, the nine Earth Immortal Progenitor of the Chen Clan gathered together.

In addition, Changqing Chen and Thalion Chen, both of whom hold special status, arrived at the Clan Grand Hall.

As a senior figure of the clan's patriarch generation, Thalion Chen looked upon the several Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] of the Chen Immortal Clan and could not help but reveal a look of profound satisfaction as he spoke.

"From now on, our Chen Immortal Clan can be considered a top-tier Immortal Clan [a powerful clan with immortal-level cultivators] within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen also gave a slight nod of agreement.

All nine of the Chen Clan's Earth Immortal Progenitor had opened Ninefold Heavens [a reference to a high-tier foundation within the dantian] or higher. Now that they had broken through to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal realm, each possessed strength comparable to a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

Among them, Verdant Consort and Nyssa Qu stood a cut above the rest. Once they upgraded their Lifebound Immortal Treasure [a magical treasure intimately connected to a cultivator's life force], their combat prowess would likely approach the threshold of an Eighth Level Earth Immortal.
