Chapter 1298 : Ascension of the Void Mirror

After refining this Metallic Gold Earth Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual vein rich in metallic and earth energies], Eldrin Chen's power had increased by another measure.

He concluded his cultivation session and rose, only to find Polarity Void standing guard beside him, having protected him throughout his seclusion.

"Success?"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. He instinctively performed a quick calculation with his fingers and realized that the thousand years of seclusion required to refine this Supreme-Grade Earth Vein had already passed.

During that same span of time, the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical mirror that manipulates polarity and void] had also successfully advanced, transforming into the realm of a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of such power it can aid in creating or stabilizing worlds].

Having ascended to the World-Opening Treasure realm, the treasure's spiritual nature and might had surged explosively. The faintly shimmering void energies and primordial magnetism auroras it now emanated were many times more potent than before.

Furthermore, the mirror was profoundly mystical, containing within it three esoteric-level Divine Ability [supernatural powers cultivated by immortals], named respectively: 'Primordial Magnetism Aurora' [a radiant power that disrupts metallic treasures], 'Void-Sunder Heaven Escape' [an escape art that tears through the void], and 'Void Cosmos Heaven Realm' [a pocket dimension within the mirror].

These three Divine Ability were not of the Slaughter [a category of offensive divine abilities] type, yet each was an exceptionally profound and unique Divine Ability.

Among them, the Primordial Magnetism Aurora specialized in countering all manner of metal-attribute Immortal Treasure and Wonder [powerful artifacts and wondrous items used by immortals]. The Void-Sunder Heaven Escape could rend the void asunder, allowing Eldrin Chen to instantly break through any confinement and flee to the far shores of the void.

The Void Cosmos Heaven Realm was a void-space secret realm contained within the Polarity Void Mirror. It brimmed with spatial power; once activated, it could seal and lock down the surrounding void. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel-dot-com.

Aside from those Earth Immortal Patriarchs who excel in Spatial Law [the profound principles governing space and dimensions] or possess a Spatial Supreme Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact with spatial powers], ordinary Earth Immortal Patriarchs at the mid to late stages of the Earth Immortal realm would likely find it difficult to breach it in a short time.

"In its current state, the offensive power of the Polarity Void Mirror still falls short of that of a Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [the highest grade of immortal artifact]."

"However, each art has its specialty. The Primordial Magnetism Aurora can restrain metal-attribute World-Opening Celestial Immortal Treasures [artifacts of immense power used by Celestial Immortals to open or stabilize worlds]. The Void-Sunder Heaven Escape is a first-rate life-preserving technique. And the Void Cosmos Heaven Realm is the ultimate trump card for suppressing and slaying an Earth Immortal Patriarch."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Most ordinary Low-Grade World-Opening Treasures possess only one heterodox-grade World-Opening Heavenly God Ability [a divine power inherent to a World-Opening Treasure].

A World-Opening Treasure capable of simultaneously wielding two Divine Abilities [supernatural powers derived from cultivation] is considered exceptionally powerful even among its peers.

This Polarity Void Mirror, possessing three World-Opening Heavenly God Abilities at once, ranks among the very pinnacle of World-Opening Treasures.

"It seems the reputation of Void Treasures [artifacts imbued with the power of the Void] as the most supreme treasures of their tier is well-deserved,"

Eldrin Chen remarked with a smile. The myriad Great Paths [the fundamental laws and principles of the cosmos] of heaven and earth, the innumerable rules beyond counting—some say these Rule Powers [the power derived from comprehending a specific cosmic rule] hold no inherent hierarchy of strength, that the potency of a rule ultimately depends on the wielder.

Even the most humble rule, pursued to its ultimate extreme, can still provide a direct glimpse into the Great Path.

Yet it is undeniable that within this Chaos, the true paramount powers are often those who wield the might of the more profound Great Paths.

For instance, the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor commands the Primordial Genesis Great Path, one of the Innate Five Ultimates. Similarly, the Primordial Beginning Divine Sovereign reigns supreme through the Primordial Beginning Great Path.

The Purple Tenuity Divine Sovereign of the Divine Clan and the Solar Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race both ascended to the realm of Primordial One Great Encompassing Golden Immortal from the station of Lord of Myriad Stars.

From this perspective, it seems that mastering a supreme Rule Great Path is the key to grasping the ticket to the Primordial One Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm.

The Myriad Things Earth cultivated by Eldrin Chen, along with the Primordial One Gold, Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame, Seed of Life, and Profound Darkness True Water—all are among the most ancient and primordial Great Paths of heaven and earth. In theory, cultivating any of them to its ultimate limit grants the qualification to touch the Primordial One Realm.

The Path of Space is no different. As the saying goes, 'Time is supreme, Space is king.' Following this path to its zenith leads to a supreme Great Path that points directly to the Primordial One Realm.

Thus, treasures born from such profound rules naturally rank among the pinnacle of all rare wonders. It seems only fitting that artifacts forged from them would be top-tier within their respective grades.

Thinking this, a flicker of joy stirred within Eldrin Chen's heart. He had a premonition: once the Polarity Void Mirror advanced to High-Grade Immortal Treasure, its internal rules would undergo a metamorphosis. The three Divine Abilities [profound supernatural powers] it nurtured would then evolve into genuine, orthodox-level Divine Abilities.

"With this treasure, our chances of luring and slaying Nether Grand Austerity have increased yet again," he murmured to himself.

With that thought, Eldrin Chen gave a silent command. The Polarity [the fundamental principle of opposing yet complementary forces] within the void shifted imperceptibly, carrying him across untold billions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of empty space in an instant, returning him to the heart of the Returning Abyss Sea Region.

As the void rippled with faint undulations, Eldrin Chen returned in utter silence. Even many within the Immortal Alliance were unaware that he had been absent from the Returning Abyss Sea Region for the past millennium.

"To traverse such a vast sea region and arrive at the Returning Abyss Sea in an instant... While it may not yet rival the Void Gate, its advantage lies in its sheer convenience and speed. A single thought can bridge a distant sea."

Feeling the distance traversed by the Polarity Void Mirror, Eldrin Chen nodded with satisfaction.

With this Polarity void treasure in hand, even a Ninth Level Earth Immortal would find it exceedingly difficult to kill him.

Possessing such a trump card, Eldrin Chen finally laid to rest the last shred of apprehension regarding the plan to lure and slay Nether Grand Austerity.

Setting his thoughts aside, he sought out Exquisite Jiang and spoke, "The time is nearly upon us. We should cast the bait." Find thousands of chapters at audio-novel.com.

"Indeed, it is time," she replied.

Exquisite Jiang nodded, a trace of solemnity coloring her expression.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen immediately summoned the immortals of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance to gather within the Green Chariot Mountain Immortal Hall.

Within the immortal hall, the assembled immortals stood in attendance. With a single glance, Eldrin Chen felt a quiet sense of reassurance settle within him.

More than four thousand years have passed since the Great Tribulation erupted, and the Returning Abyss Sea Region has largely digested the gains from the previous two great wars.

In those two conflicts, the Returning Abyss Sea Region annihilated enemies several times their own number. Nearly every Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality through cultivation] within the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance obtained several times their usual share of Path Source [the foundational spiritual essence required for cultivation advancement], their harvests rivaling those of many Immortal who had survived three heavenly tribulations.

It can be said that given a hundred thousand years, the Immortal of the Returning Abyss Immortal Alliance would face no bottlenecks in their cultivation until they reached the seventh or eighth level of the Ascendant Immortal [the realm of an immortal who has ascended to a higher plane of existence].

Although time remains a pressing concern, the cultivation bases of the Alliance's original Immortal have mostly advanced to the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, within the Immortal Alliance, seven newly ascended Immortal have emerged over these past millennia, all promising talents of a later generation.

Among them, four hail from the Chen Immortal Clan. The remaining two are descendants of the Heavenly Feather Path Master and the Six Stars Path Master respectively.

The final individual is Vast Abyss Path Master, a disciple of Long River Path Lord. This one was a late bloomer, attaining the , the Great Path, and immortality only after living for nearly fifty thousand years.

He then remained in the Purple Seal Realm for over ten thousand years, securing an immortal legacy for the Long River Holy Land before his restless spirit compelled him to ascend to the Immortal Realm [the higher realm where immortals reside].

Although several Immortal fell in the previous wars, the overall strength of the Immortal Alliance has not diminished but increased. Now, with the addition of seven more Immortal, its power has grown even more formidable.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen declared with brimming confidence, "Esteemed colleagues, after two millennia of recuperation, we have not only restored our pre-war foundation but have significantly increased our strength."

"Chaos reigns across the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas [a vast and turbulent sea region], and the Heavenly Demon Sea [a sea plagued by demonic incursions] groans under relentless assault from the Demon Race [a malevolent race of demons]."

"I intend to mobilize our forces to aid the cause of the Human Race [the collective of human cultivators]. We shall march to the Heavenly Demon Sea to reinforce the Ancient Temple of Empty Clarity [an ancient and venerable temple] and vanquish the two Demon Kings [powerful demonic rulers] of that sea."

Upon hearing this, the assembled Immortals [cultivators who have ascended to immortality] were momentarily taken aback.

One of the Immortals, unaware of the full situation, spoke with a grave expression: "To engage the enemy so far from our home waters, without the support of the Returning Abyss Sea Region [our home sea region], would be far more perilous than a defensive battle. Are we not taking too great a risk?"

Sun Consort [an immortal consort associated with the sun], seeing this, seamlessly added her voice: "Indeed. If we commit our forces and lack the protection of the Cosmic Stellar Formation [a powerful defensive formation], what would we do if we were ambushed by Earth Immortals [immortals of the formidable Earth Immortal realm]?"
