Chapter 1536 : The Yin Plane's Hidden Key

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's eyes lit up with keen interest as he inquired, "Please, enlighten me."

The Heavenly Dao Consciousness [the sentient will of the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic order] spoke slowly, its tone calm and measured. "The key to breaking the deadlock lies within the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature universe corresponding to the Netherworld or Yin Plane]."

"You mean...?"

Eldrin Chen's eyes brightened further, as if a realization had dawned upon him.

The light of the Heavenly Dao [the fundamental cosmic principle and path] shimmered slightly, confirming his thoughts. "For over two hundred thousand years, you have been laying groundwork within the Yin Plane universe. Countless Formation Patterns [intricate energy patterns that form the basis of magical formations] have been inscribed across its myriad Minor Universe."

"Although the Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial energy of creation] of the Yin Plane universe constitutes merely one-tenth of the entire cosmos, it is the indispensable other half, the essential counterpart to the Yang."

"If you further refine and optimize the power of these Formation Patterns, you can, at the critical moment, hinder the Outer Realm Ancient Demon for a period of time."

"If, within that window, you can slay that Outer Realm Ancient Demon's Celestial Emperor's Avatar, the entire situation will naturally be completely reversed."

He could never have imagined that the layout within the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature universe representing the Yin aspect of reality] could become the final trump card against the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a malevolent deity from beyond this cosmos].

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen spoke: "I understand. I will handle this matter."

The Heavenly Dao Consciousness [the sentient will of the Heavenly Dao, the fundamental order of the universe] observed him and spoke plainly: "Within this Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller cosmos], several Blessed Land [realms of concentrated spiritual energy and natural harmony] remain that can aid your cultivation. You may go and refine them.

"I shall lend you my strength. I only hope you will not need to break the promise made today."

"Be at ease. I shall arrange matters properly."

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, then withdrew from the state of communion with the Heavenly Dao [the fundamental principle and order governing the universe].

Only then did he notice Lyra Jiang and the others standing guard nearby, all looking at him with astonishment.

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor could not help but draw a sharp breath, saying with shock, "To completely refine a Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [a paradise realm of the highest spiritual grade] in a mere three hundred years... I fear not even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme master among Heavenly Immortals] could accomplish this."

"Do not be surprised. My success was only possible with the aid of the Heavenly Dao."

Eldrin Chen replied calmly, informing everyone of his communion with the Heavenly Dao.

After hearing the full account of events, everyone's expressions shifted subtly. Lyra Jiang could not help but remark, "With the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and will of the cosmos] personally aiding you, it is no wonder you succeeded."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement. He then proceeded to inform the assembly of the schemes devised by the Celestial Emperor [a supreme ruler among deities] and the Outer Realm Ancient Demon [ancient and immensely powerful demons from beyond this universe].

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces paled with grave concern. Zixuan the Daoist spoke with utmost solemnity, "This news is of monumental significance. We must make preparations without delay."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen nodded calmly, his demeanor composed. "I have already considered our course. At present, we should pursue two primary strategies."

"The first step is to further reinforce the Formation Patterns [complex arrays of magical energy used for defense, confinement, or amplification] within our Minor Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or lesser cosmos]. This will hinder the Outer Realm Ancient Demon from sacrificing this entire universe in their ritual."

"The second step is to relay the intelligence regarding the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a demonic entity of god-like power originating from beyond this realm] to the Human Sovereign [the paramount ruler and protector of humanity in this cosmos] of our universe. We must prepare in advance to assist in severing the Celestial Emperor's Avatar." Hearing this, Separated Flame Deity voiced a lingering concern, "That Celestial Emperor's Avatar wields an Innate Treasure [a primordial artifact born of cosmic laws, possessing unparalleled power]. Its combat prowess must be peerless throughout the ages. Can we truly succeed in slaying it, even if we join forces?"

"Should we not inform the Divine Race [a race of powerful celestial beings] and the Demonic Tribe [a tribe or faction of powerful demons]?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before replying, "The Demonic Tribe bears a grudge against us, and our relations with the Divine Race are not close. If we disclose this matter to them, the Formation Patterns within the Yin Plane Microcosm [a hidden pocket dimension aligned with Yin, or shadowy, energies] would inevitably be exposed. All our plans would then come to naught."

"Moreover, they are highly likely to seize the opportunity to scheme against us. Ultimately, the Universe Origin Supreme Treasure [the primordial treasure born from the essence of the universe itself] might very well fall into their hands."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into a heavy silence.

Eldrin Chen had laid his plans hundreds of thousands of years in advance, all for the sake of obtaining the Universe Origin Supreme Treasure, and he would naturally not abandon it now.

At this moment, it was Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor who spoke. "As for the matter of the Formation Patterns [the mystical patterns and arrays that channel cosmic energies], we can simply pool our strength to rearrange them."

"And there is no need to worry about uniting the various major powers. When the moment comes for the Celestial Emperor's Avatar [a powerful projection or incarnation of a Celestial Emperor] to sacrifice this universe, they will naturally join forces."

Pausing briefly, he continued, "If a true Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme being who has ascended to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal realm] were to descend in person, we might stand no chance of victory." Find this and other novels at audio–novel.com.

"But against a mere avatar... our chances should be exceedingly high." As the being closest to the Heavenly Immortal Paragon realm, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor held the greatest authority on the matter. Seeing his acknowledgment, Separated Flame Deity finally voiced no further objections. With the consensus reached, Eldrin Chen made the final decision. "Then we shall proceed according to plan. First, we must inform the Human Sovereign [the supreme ruler of humanity] and allow him to prepare in advance."

In the time that followed, the group returned to the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature realm imbued with profound Yin energy] and began the work of modifying and rearranging the grand Formation Patterns.

Eldrin Chen, however, did not linger. He traversed the Boundless Void [the infinite, starless expanse between cosmic structures], journeying deep into the universe. Unconsciously, he arrived within the Dragon Turtle Star Domain.

The entire Dragon Turtle Star Domain was formed from the coalesced Water Vein [a cosmic ley line of pure water essence] and Primordial Source [the foundational, chaotic energy from which all things are born] of this universe. The Dragon Turtle True Spirit [a primordial spiritual entity in the form of a dragon-turtle] nurtured within its heart was a being who had laid a Dual Taiyi Foundation [a supreme, dual-layered foundation at the Taiyi realm], a truly Supreme [peerless, of the highest order] existence.

Yet within the current Dragon Turtle Star Domain, this Dragon Turtle True Spirit had already been slain by the Demonic Tribe, its treasures thoroughly plundered, leaving behind only an empty, desolate Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss.

To refine and claim a Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss would incur an immense Karmic Burden [the metaphysical weight of cause and effect from one's actions], a price so staggering that even the great powers of the Demonic Tribe dared not attempt it. However, Eldrin Chen, having received a promise from the universe's Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and will of the cosmos], faced no such Karmic Burden for refining this Supreme Grade Earth Vein [a supreme-grade terrestrial spiritual artery]. Furthermore, with the assistance of the cosmic Heavenly Dao itself in refining this Earth Vein [a terrestrial spiritual artery], he managed to completely assimilate it in a mere five hundred years.

Upon its complete refinement, Eldrin Chen discovered that his kidneys now emitted a profound, abyssal light, resembling a Bottomless Abyss. Within them, an immeasurably vast Water Essence Power [the fundamental power of the water element] lay dormant and silent.

After completing this step, Eldrin Chen journeyed to the Tengshe Star Domain. He found this Ancient Domain [an ancient celestial territory] to be identical to the Dragon Turtle Ancient Domain; its resident Universe True Spirit [a primordial spirit born of the universe] had long since been slain, and all its resources had been stripped bare.

Undeterred, Eldrin Chen continued his cultivation there. Drawing upon the power of this universe's Heavenly Dao Power [the authority and energy of the cosmic natural order], he began refining the Earth Attribute [earth-aligned] Earth Vein contained within.

Thus, as time flowed onward, after approximately eight hundred years, Eldrin Chen had completely refined this Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss.

"A temporary conclusion, for now."

Having refined the Tengshe Abode of Bliss, Eldrin Chen observed that within his Five Viscera [the five core organs in traditional Chinese medicine and cultivation], his heart, kidneys, and spleen were now fully saturated, each radiating a dazzling, peerless Primordial Essence Power [primordial foundational energy].

Eldrin Chen tentatively channeled these forces. Three supreme powers surged from within, flooding every inch of his being. His very flesh seemed imbued with an archaic divinity, possessing a strength that felt indestructible and eternal.

"The enduring flow of Water, the profound solidity of Earth, the domineering ferocity of Fire."

Eldrin Chen slowly lowered his gaze, sensing the power within his physical form, and gave a slight, satisfied nod.

Within his Five Viscera [the five core organs in traditional Chinese medicine and cultivation], the three supreme Divine Spirits [powerful spiritual entities residing within a cultivator's body] seemed to have undergone a startling metamorphosis. Their internal Primordial Source [the foundational, limitless source of power and existence] felt boundless and infinite, as if now containing the power to create worlds or bring about their cataclysmic end.

In that moment, Eldrin Chen could feel that the strength of myself his own flesh was inexhaustible, sufficient to rend apart the colossal terrors of the Primordial Era [the mythic age of creation and ancient chaos] with bare hands and wrestle with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has nearly ascended to the realm of true immortals].
