Chapter 1546 : Veiled Paragon and the Supreme Treasures

A great power from the Great White Grotto-Heaven spoke, nodding as well. "It seems this person's origins are Valerius [mysterious and profound]. The Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm] behind him is at least at the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the advanced stage of the Heavenly Immortal cultivation realm], and he clearly does not wish to reveal his identity."

The great power from the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven also nodded, his expression grave. "Within the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, there are only thirty-six High-Grade Innate Treasure [supreme treasures born from the primal chaos of creation], hailed as the Thirty-Six Supreme Treasures of Vast Azure."

"On the surface, there are only five space-attribute High-Grade Innate Treasure. Three are held by Ancient Immortals [immortals who have existed since time immemorial], one resides within the Ethereal Void Grotto-Heaven, and another is in the Central Celestial Domain. Those who wield them are all figures at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm] or beyond."

"If this individual is not one of those few, he must be a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm from beyond the borders of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain."

At these words, the great power from the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven fell silent.

It was clear that whoever wielded this High-Grade Innate Treasure was not someone they could investigate lightly.

The other Heavenly Immortal Paragon present also had subtle shifts in their expressions. A Celestial God [a deity who has attained the Celestial Immortal realm] from the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven sighed. "The opportunity of the Hundred Calamities Rebirth [a cosmic cycle where a hundred great tribulations culminate in a rebirth of fate and fortune] approaches. Beyond the Three Great Celestial Courts, all major powers have already begun their maneuvers."

"Whoever made this move is not to be provoked easily."

"Alas, these are indeed turbulent times."

Upon hearing this, everyone present could not help but sigh softly. The opportunity of the Hundred Calamities Rebirth held the potential to give birth to a Great Luo Golden Immortal [the supreme realm of immortality, transcending the cycles of heaven and earth].

As for figures at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal [the pinnacle realm of cultivation, representing the ultimate fusion of one's being with the fundamental laws of the cosmos], within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the vast, interconnected realms of cultivation and immortal existence], they are all beings of Supreme [peerless and paramount] stature.

Such an existence, if they chose to establish their own power, could found one of the Hundred Clans of Immortal Spirits [the most powerful and ancient lineages of immortal beings]. If they served within the Three Great Celestial Courts [the three supreme governing bodies of the immortal realms], they would be a Great Luo Immortal Lord [a title for a supreme immortal lord] wielding the authority of the Celestial Court [the celestial bureaucracy and seat of immortal power].

For the sake of this possibility to break through to Great Luo Golden Immortal, not only have the three great Celestial Courts begun laying plans in the shadows, but even many of the powerful clans among the Hundred Clans of Immortal Spirits have already inserted themselves into the affair.

At this thought, the group fell into a heavy silence, suppressing any urge to inquire further.

At the same moment, Eldrin Chen felt the heavens and earth spin wildly. When he opened his eyes, he had already returned to a nameless void.

Lifting his gaze, he saw that at the center of this featureless space, the Abyssal Pearl [a primordial treasure of immense power, said to contain the essence of the void] floated serenely amidst the Void [the fundamental state of non-being and potential from which all things emerge].

The Abyssal Pearl now was vastly different from its former self. It had grown more profound and inscrutable, and the Innate Great Dao [the primordial, uncreated laws of existence] within it seemed to have become infinitely more complex.

"Thirty strands of Innate Dao Patterns [the fundamental, self-existent patterns that constitute the fabric of reality], interwoven to form a Great Dao Embryo [the nascent, embryonic form of one's ultimate fusion with the Great Dao, a critical breakthrough stage]," he murmured.

"It seems your gains from this journey were immense."

Eldrin Chen spoke these words softly, a flicker of astonishment crossing his features.

When he first encountered the Abyssal Pearl [a primordial treasure of profound mystery] in the distant past, the pearl possessed only twenty-four Innate Dao Patterns [the fundamental, natural inscriptions of cosmic law].

Afterwards, nurtured over hundreds of thousands of years, and before Eldrin Chen departed for the Yang Plane Microcosm [a lesser world of pure Yang energy], the pearl had given birth to twenty-five Innate Dao Patterns.

Having now absorbed the Dao marks [the residual imprints of cosmic principles] from the destruction of the Minor Universe [a small, self-contained cosmos], Eldrin Chen could clearly sense that this Abyssal Pearl now contained thirty Innate Dao Patterns.

Gaining five Innate Dao Patterns at once meant the Abyssal Pearl had effectively saved itself one or two million years of natural gestation.

As far as Eldrin Chen knew, all Innate Marvels [naturally formed spiritual wonders] and treasures contained Innate Dao Patterns within them.

Among them, a low-grade Innate Marvels possessed one Innate Dao Patterns; a mid-grade Innate Treasure [a treasure born of natural law] possessed three; while a high-grade Innate Treasure possessed nine Innate Dao Patterns.

Legend spoke of even higher-tier Innate Ancient Treasure [treasures of primordial antiquity] that possessed more than nine Innate Dao Patterns.

Once Innate Dao Patterns exceeded nine, they could evolve into a Great Dao Embryo [the nascent form of a supreme cosmic principle]. It was said that for a Great Dao Embryo to be fully perfected and transform into an Innate Great Dao [a complete, innate cosmic law], it required a total of thirty Six Paths [a complete cosmic cycle] worth of Innate Dao Patterns.

Once it possessed thirty Six Paths worth of Innate Dao Patterns and transformed into an Innate Great Dao, its subsequent promotion to an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of innate origin] would be a natural and expected progression.

Of course, an ordinary Innate Ancient Treasure, even one pushed to its absolute limit, could only possess twenty-four Innate Dao Patterns at most.

Only by fusing with the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light [a fundamental, indestructible essence of primordial spiritual light] can it break the limitations of its foundation, fully gestate the thirty Six Paths Innate Dao Patterns [the fundamental, inborn patterns that constitute the Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation], and ultimately metamorphose into an Innate Great Dao [a supreme, inborn manifestation of a fundamental cosmic principle].

And this Abyssal Pearl contains within it the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light, so its transformation into an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme, naturally-formed magical treasure] is as natural as water flowing downhill.

"It still lacks the Six Paths Innate Dao Patterns. Once they are complete, the Abyssal Pearl can ascend to become an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Calculating that each Innate Dao Patterns requires three hundred and sixty thousand years to gestate, it will likely take approximately two million one hundred thousand years."

Eldrin Chen estimated the gestation progress of the Abyssal Pearl and could not help but let out a slow, quiet breath.

Two million one hundred thousand years was, in truth, a rather pressing timeframe. Fortunately, the Abyssal Pearl possessed immense foundational potential; it contained not just one but multiple strands of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light, ensuring it was far from a mere low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Upon its final completion, it would manifest not just one, but several distinct Great Dao [supreme cosmic principles or paths of cultivation]. This chapter appears courtesy of audio–novel.com.

This meant that Eldrin Chen could continue nurturing the Abyssal Pearl in secret, temporarily withholding its emergence into the world.

With this realization, a weight lifted from Eldrin Chen's shoulders, and he released a soft sigh of relief.

Departing from the nameless space, he returned to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy], only to find Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort had been waiting for him for some time.

Seeing him step forth, the two could not help but ask in unison, "How did it go?"

"My wish is fulfilled."

Eldrin Chen gave a faint smile and retrieved from his sleeve an immortal gourd and a pale violet treasure vase.

These two treasures were precisely the Innate Marvels 'Yin-Yang Union Gourd' and the 'Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth'.

"Excellent."

The moment the two saw the treasures, expressions of wild joy immediately appeared on their faces.

Verdant Consort could not help but take a deep breath before speaking: "This journey to the Minor Universe has yielded two Innate Treasure. All the sacrifices and efforts were worth it."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen nodded and began to probe the wondrous functions of the two treasures.

These two Universe Origin Supreme Treasure were respectively a Creation Treasure and an Annihilation Treasure. They were formed from the interweaving of the Cosmos's Primordial Source [the original, undifferentiated state of existence from which all things arise] and Innate Qi [the primordial, uncreated energy that predates the universe]. Both were special Innate Marvels [objects born from the fundamental forces of creation, possessing unique properties], and it could be said that neither treasure possessed offensive or defensive capabilities.

Between the two treasures, the Yin-Yang Union Gourd was capable of comprehensively enhancing a cultivator's strength in all aspects.

A Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to true immortality] with a Triple Taiyi Foundation [a foundation built upon three supreme primordial principles], bolstered by this treasure, could possess combat prowess rivaling an early-stage Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm]. If they also wielded one or two Taiyi Immortal Weapon [immortal-grade weapons of supreme primordial origin], they might even surpass the might of the Dragon King of the Western Abyss.

For an existence at the third level of Heaven Immortal, possessing such a treasure could allow their strength to brush against the domain of the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of celestial immortality]. Its value, therefore, was truly immense.

The sole regret was that Eldrin Chen's current Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] was not yet potent enough to unleash the full might of this treasure.

"If I were to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm, even with just a Single Taiyi Foundation [a foundation built upon a single supreme primordial principle], I should be able to wield this treasure's power adequately," Eldrin Chen murmured to himself.

With a sense of quiet satisfaction, Eldrin Chen carefully stored away the Yin-Yang Union Gourd.

His gaze then shifted to the 'Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth'. A gleam of anticipation lit his eyes as he declared, "With this artifact, nurturing the Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo [a legendary bamboo of supreme unity]—and even the Peerless [a grade denoting supreme, matchless quality] World-Opening Spiritual Root [a spiritual root said to have the power to cleave open worlds]—will no longer be a mere dream."

Lyra Jiang was momentarily taken aback by his words. She then probed the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth with her spiritual sense, and her expression swiftly transformed into one of delighted surprise.

It was revealed that this Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth possessed the ability to draw in Immortal Spirit Qi [the spiritual energy of the immortal realms] and transmute it into an Innate Spirit Liquid known as 'Heaven-Earth Primordial Qi Water'.

This 'Heaven-Earth Primordial Qi Water' held wondrous and myriad uses. It brimmed with incredibly vigorous vitality, having drawn upon the Primordial Source [the fundamental, origin-point energy of creation] of Heaven and Earth. It carried the life-prolonging essence of immortal spirits and harbored the Nirvana [the state of perfect peace and liberation, often associated with rebirth from destruction] life-force born from the ashes of utter annihilation. It was perfectly suited for nourishing spiritual flora of the heavens and the earth. Find this and other novels at *audio-novel.com*.
