Chapter 1492 : The Path to Indestructible Perfection

With this thought, Eldrin Chen fell into contemplation once more. Having reached his current level, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had encountered a bottleneck; advancing further presented another barrier.

This barrier could not be surmounted by resources alone. After refining a vast quantity of Six Revolutions Immortal Pill, the Primordial Source [the foundational life-force and spiritual essence of a being] within his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had become exceedingly abundant.

However, this overly abundant Primordial Essence Power [the raw, unrefined power of primordial chaos] had also rendered the foundation of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body somewhat unstable and insubstantial. It still needed to be tempered and refined into a purer form of Primordial Source.

To temper his physical body, two methods existed. The first was to expend time, honing it slowly and steadily.

With Eldrin Chen's current foundation, if he spent eighty or one hundred thousand years continuously circulating his Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme art for refining the body with chaos energy] to polish his form, he would inevitably and naturally step into the Great Perfection realm.

Aside from this, utilizing external forces to temper his body could also accelerate this progress.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen recalled the Abyss of the Abyssal End, but after a moment, he shook his head.

The Primordial Heavy Water [a profound, gravity-laden water of immense density] within the Abyss of the Abyssal End was still not potent enough. Using it to grind and polish his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body would likely require three hundred thousand years to achieve a breakthrough into Great Perfection.

"If only it were the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Abyss," Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself.

He had ventured into the deepest depths of that Ninefold Thunder Abyss before. The complete novel can be found at audio‑novel.com.

He was certain that if he stepped into the Ninefold Thunder Abyss [a legendary abyss filled with nine layers of devastating thunder] and used its power to temper his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be as unyielding as the primordial chaos before creation], he could likely achieve its Great Completion stage within thirty thousand years.

Seeing his conviction, Lyra Jiang pondered for a moment before speaking. "If you wish for your Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to break through to Great Completion, husband, why not seek out the Violet Firmament Dao Palace [one of the premier Daoist sects in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea]?"

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen nodded, a gleam of light appearing in his eyes. The Violet Firmament Dao Palace was the second-ranked Thunder Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of profound cultivation, especially attuned to the element of thunder] within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea. At its heart flowed a Peerless [a grade denoting supreme, unparalleled quality] Thunder Attribute Earth Vein [a subterranean ley line of immense spiritual power, in this case imbued with the essence of thunder], which would undoubtedly be more than sufficient for tempering his physical body.

Most crucially, the Grand Palace Master of the Violet Firmament Dao Palace, Zixuan the Daoist, was a close and trusted friend of Eldrin Chen.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen spoke again. "I would not be draining the thunder energy itself, merely borrowing its power for bodily refinement. Fellow Daoist Zixuan would most likely not refuse me such a request."

With his mind made up, Eldrin Chen prepared to depart.

However, just before he could leave, Lyra Jiang gently held him back. "Some days ago, a visitor came to pay their respects at the mountain. Seeing you were in seclusion, they left a letter, stating they wished to arrange a time to call upon you."

"Oh?"

Eldrin Chen paused, slightly surprised, and took the letter from Lyra Jiang's hand.

After merely a moment's observation, Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, a contemplative expression settling upon his features.

The sender of the letter bore the Daoist title 'Separated Flame Deity' and was revered by the Divine Race as the 'Southern Pole Separated Flame Deity'. He was the foremost Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an Earth Immortal, a powerful cultivator who has transcended mortality] expert among the Divine Race within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

It was said this Divine Spirits [a powerful being of divine nature] rose to prominence over a million years ago. He had once ventured into the Forbidden Realm [a perilous and restricted dimension] and had even successfully opened Ninefold Heavens and Earth [a supreme internal world structure, representing the pinnacle of foundation-building for a cultivator]. Now, after one hundred and thirty thousand years of cultivation, his cultivation base had finally, not long ago, reached the domain of Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the peak stage of the Earth Immortal realm]. However, he lacked a suitable Earth Vein [a concentrated ley line of terrestrial spiritual energy, crucial for high-level cultivation] for his practice.

Coinciding with the fall of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, a Peerless [a supreme grade of treasure] fire-attribute Earth Vein had become available. Thus, the Separated Flame Deity intended to seize it to serve as his own Daoist Assembly Ground [a sacred site for a cultivator's meditation and assembly of spiritual forces].

"This visitor comes with ill intent,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly after finishing the letter, his expression growing heavy and solemn.

Lyra Jiang's countenance was also deeply grave. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "This individual once entered the Forbidden Realm and opened a full Ninefold Heavens and Earth. He was the premier Ascendant Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea a million years ago.

"Such a personage, with a cultivation base that has now reached the Earth Immortal Great Perfection realm... his true combat prowess, even if it does not equal a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [one who has taken half a step into the Celestial Immortal realm], likely does not lag far behind."

Eldrin Chen nodded, weighing his words carefully. "This person possesses the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a treasure of the highest order, capable of parting the heavens] known as the 'Separated Flame Heaven Lantern'. Even if we join forces and wield the cauldron together, I fear we would not be his match."

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang could not help but voice her concern. "Then what should we do?"

"Let's delay for a while."

Eldrin Chen mused before speaking, "He came for the Flowing FireBlessed Land [a land of profound spiritual abundance], but with his strength alone, he likely cannot conquer the Flowing Fire Star Palace, and fears our strike from behind even more.

"So, his purpose in seeking us out this time,

is most likely to propose an alliance against the Flowing Fire Star Palace."

"Since that is his aim, we shall use my seclusion as an excuse to delay further. We will discuss it after my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of immense resilience] reaches its peak." Speaking to this point, Eldrin Chen continued thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, the Supreme Grade Earth Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy leyline] beneath the Flowing Fire Star Palace is due for a change of ownership. "Let the preparations begin. Once my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body is perfected, and after Zixuan the Daoist survives his Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial], we shall meet this so-called foremost Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal realm cultivator] of the Divine Race."

Seeing this, Lyra Jiang smiled and said, "Very well." After settling this matter, Eldrin Chen did not linger. For the best reading experience, visit audio-novel[dot]com.

Without further hesitation, he bid farewell to the clan members and set off for the Violet Firmament Dao Palace.

The Violet Firmament Dao Palace was located within the "Violet Firmament Divine Domain" [a divine realm bathed in violet celestial light], positioned centrally among the thirty-three layered seas. Eldrin Chen traversed the void using the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure capable of navigating spatial voids] and soon arrived at the Violet Firmament Divine Domain. Flying all the way to the gates of the Violet Firmament Dao Palace, Eldrin Chen personally presented his visiting card.

Not long after, several figures emerged, all Ancient Ancestors of the Earth Immortal Realm. The leader was none other than Zixuan the Daoist, and beside him stood a female immortal at the Eighth Level Earth Immortal realm. Upon seeing Eldrin Chen, Zixuan the Daoist let out a hearty laugh and said, "Eldrin, the Abyssal Junior, your visit today truly brings boundless honor to my humble Zixuan Mountain."

"You honor me too much."

Eldrin Chen promptly cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "It has been many years, Elder Brother. Your Mana [the foundational energy cultivated by immortals] has grown even more profound. It seems your ascension to the Taiyi Realm [a high-level immortal cultivation realm] is assured with near certainty."

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, Zixuan the Daoist proceeded to introduce the identities of the assembled group to Eldrin Chen.

Through his introductions, Eldrin Chen quickly came to understand who everyone was.

The female immortal at the Eighth Level Earth Immortal [the eighth stage of the Earth Immortal realm] was Zixuan the Daoist's Dao Companion [a cultivation partner bound by profound vows]. Her title was 'Spirit Firmament Immortal Maiden', and she was reputed to be a top-tier genius who had opened her Seventh Heaven [the seventh of the foundational heavens within a cultivator's dantian].

After becoming acquainted with the various Earth Immortal [immortals who have attained the Earth Immortal realm] from the Violet Firmament Dao Palace, Zixuan the Daoist invited Eldrin Chen into the Dao Palace [a grand hall or sanctuary dedicated to cultivation and the Dao] and inquired, "Younger Brother, you have arrived nearly fifty thousand years early. I presume you are not here merely to stand guard in advance?"

"Indeed,"

Eldrin Chen nodded and stated his purpose directly, "To speak frankly, I have come to the Violet Firmament Dao Palace to borrow your sacred ground to temper my physical body."

As Eldrin Chen explained in detail, Zixuan the Daoist quickly grasped the intent behind his visit.

Once he understood the purpose, Zixuan the Daoist smiled and said, "If Younger Brother's strength advances another step, this elder brother's confidence in overcoming the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial faced by cultivators] will increase by several more measures."

"Rest assured, I will support this matter with my full effort." Having said this, Zixuan the Daoist led Eldrin Chen out of the Dao Palace and headed towards the core of the Zixuan Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of spiritual abundance and cultivation].

This was the very heart of the Zixuan Abode of Bliss [a sacred realm for cultivation and seclusion], nestled amidst a range of mountains that pierced the very heavens.

One peak among them stood supremely majestic, its form resembling a Peerless Heavenly Sword [a divine blade of unparalleled sharpness] that had cleaved through the endless cloud layers to reach the very limits of the boundless Firmament [the vault of heaven]. Upon that boundless Firmament, countless heavenly thunderbolts descended, each one crashing against the tip of this Immortal Sword [a sword wielded by immortal beings] with a force that shook the heavens, unleashing wave after wave of deafening peals of thunder.

"This place," came the voice, "is the Heavenly Sword Peak [the Mountain of the Celestial Sword]." Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel.com (official site).
