Chapter 1551 : The Primordial Peach's Divine Power

These Immortal Peach are rich in Creation Origin Power [the primordial power of creation and genesis]; each one contains Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial essence of existence] comparable to a portion of Primordial Chaos Essence [essence refined from the primordial chaos before creation]. Even an Ancient Ancestor at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] would find immense benefit from consuming them.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, if one were to consume nine Immortal Peach at once while attempting the breakthrough to Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a transitional state between Earth Immortal and Celestial Immortal], it could increase the chance of successfully forging a Primordial Foundation [the most supreme and stable foundation for an immortal] by one-tenth.

The Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Enlightenment Tea is an even greater treasure for comprehending Dao Principles [the fundamental principles that govern reality].

Eldrin Chen discovered that after drinking this tea, within a Millennium [a period of one thousand years], an Immortal's comprehension would increase tenfold. Their perception of the Laws of the Dao [the operational rules underlying the Great Dao] and the Great Dao [the ultimate, all-encompassing Truth and Path] would be divinely assisted, proving highly useful even for a Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

Although from this perspective, the Enlightenment Tea is still far inferior to the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill.

However, this Enlightenment Tea Tree matures once every three hundred thousand years, each time yielding three thousand six hundred Enlightenment Tea Leaves. This is sufficient for an Earth Immortal Progenitor [an Earth Immortal who has founded a lineage] to drink and cultivate with for several hundred thousand years.

The remaining Leg-Wind Gourd Vine is also exceptionally powerful. The Leg-Wind God-Slaying Gourd it produces has now ascended to become a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure of the highest grade, capable of splitting the heavens].

The gourd's capacity to store energy has greatly increased; it can now hold the Mana [the spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] of approximately nine cultivators at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection. Furthermore, the power of the Leg-Wind God-Slaying Flying Dagger housed within it has also seen a tremendous enhancement.

Eldrin Chen tested it and found that once activated, the Leg-Wind God-Slaying Gourd unleashes astonishing power, comparable to a full-force strike from a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [an immortal weapon of the Taiyi grade]. It is potent enough to severely injure a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with a single blow.

Most crucially, this treasure can now be activated nine times in succession. If used skillfully, it even holds the potential to severely wound or even slay a cultivator with a Dual Taiyi Foundation [a foundation forged from two complementary Taiyi-grade principles].

"What a fine treasure," he murmured, his voice filled with admiration.

Eldrin Chen stroked the Gale-Severing Divine Gourd [a magical gourd that unleashes wind blades capable of slaying deities], unable to bear putting it down, so captivated was he by its presence.

Although Eldrin Chen now possessed several Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos, containing innate Dao principles] and Taiyi Rare Treasure [a rare treasure of the Supreme Unity grade], he was unable to wield the Innate Treasure in combat. Treasures like the Grand Unity Refined Gold War Halberd and the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword possessed immense destructive power, but activating them consumed a staggering amount of Mana [the spiritual energy used to power magical techniques and artifacts].

Even with Eldrin Chen's current reserves of Mana, he could, at most, unleash only one or two attacks with them. After those two strikes, his Mana would be utterly depleted, rendering him incapable of drawing out their ultimate might.

In contrast, this Gale-Severing Divine Gourd could be activated without consuming any of Eldrin Chen's own Mana, making it a perfect trump card for critical moments. Furthermore, both the Grand Unity Refined Gold War Halberd and the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword had limited potential for growth.

Even if Eldrin Chen went to great lengths to procure Innate Qi [primordial spiritual energy used to elevate treasures] to help them ascend to Innate Treasure, both artifacts contained only a single Taiyi Dao Principle [a fundamental principle of the Supreme Unity]. At best, they could only transform into a treasure with one Innate Dao Patterns [the innate, unchangeable patterns that define a treasure's nature and power].

In other words, these two treasures could, at their absolute peak, only become Low Grade Innate Treasure [the lowest rank of Innate Treasure].

In truth, the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth and the Yin-Yang Union Gourd were the same. Their Dao Patterns [the fundamental patterns of the Dao imprinted within an object] were fixed from the moment of their creation, incapable of further advancement.

As Eldrin Chen's cultivation gradually increased in the future, upon his breakthrough to the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [a high immortal realm], or even the Great Luo Realm [a supreme realm of cultivation], these Low Grade Innate Treasure would become far less useful to him.

Only a Lifebound Immortal Treasure [a treasure bound to a cultivator's life and soul, growing with them], or a Spiritual Root [a spiritual foundation capable of continuous evolution] like this one, could continue to grow alongside Eldrin Chen on his path.

As long as Eldrin Chen continues to diligently nurture this Gale Gourd Vine with Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and purest form of spiritual energy], its rank will inevitably ascend alongside his own cultivation. In time, it will reach the level of an Innate Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of the highest natural grade], and perhaps even attain the status of an Innate Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure born of heaven and earth].

Understanding this, Eldrin Chen cherished the Gale Gourd Vine all the more.

He carefully placed the Leg-Wind Gourd Vine back upon the vine to be nourished by its aura, then let out a soft sigh of relief.

After emerging from the Abyssal Realm, Eldrin Chen noted that the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a treasure vase that gathers and refines the primordial energies of the world] now contained only a little over one thousand drops of Innate Spiritual Water [spiritual water of the highest innate purity]. He summoned Lyra Jiang and the others and said, "Our clan's reserves of Immortal Source [the condensed essence of immortal energy, a vital cultivation resource] are nearly depleted. We must find new channels to acquire more."

Lyra Jiang nodded in agreement. "During this period," she began, "I have already negotiated agreements with the Violet Firmament Dao Palace, the Glazed Blessed Land, and other major powers in the surrounding regions. We will exchange material resources for Immortal Source."

"If all goes well, we should be able to obtain one hundred thousand pieces of Immortal Source every Millennium [a grand cycle of one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years]." "One hundred thousand per Millennium?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] typically measure time in cycles of one hundred thousand years. One hundred thousand pieces per Millennium would amount to ten million pieces over one hundred thousand years—a significant quantity by any measure.

However, for Eldrin Chen to elevate a single Supreme Grade Heaven-Opening Spiritual Plant [a spiritual plant of the supreme grade, capable of opening pathways to heavenly power] required thirteen million pieces of Immortal Source. Ten million pieces was still insufficient.

Furthermore, for the Spiritual Root [the innate spiritual foundation within a cultivator's body] within Lyra Jiang and the others to advance to the Eighth Rank High Grade [the high-grade level of the Eighth Rank], each person would need to consume nearly thirty million pieces of Immortal Source. This was no small figure.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Less than five hundred thousand years remain until the Dao Tribulation [the ultimate heavenly trial for cultivators]. At our current pace, we can only gather fifty million Immortal Source [a highly concentrated form of spiritual energy used by high-level immortals]. That will certainly not be enough."

Verdant Consort also nodded and said, "We are also devising strategies. Currently, we are surveying the Immortal Source Vein [underground channels rich with Immortal Source energy] within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas [a vast and prosperous maritime region], preparing to acquire control of all such veins."

"Once successful, we estimate we could increase our yield by approximately one hundred thousand Immortal Source every Millennium [a period of one thousand years]."

"Furthermore, after we fully command the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas, the material output from the various Immortal Island [islands inhabited by immortals] will contribute. Henceforth, every one hundred thousand years, we should be able to obtain close to thirty million Immortal Source."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, thoughtful nod of his head.

Thirty million Immortal Source every one hundred thousand years was already an astonishing figure. In its prime, the Flowing Fire Star Palace [a powerful celestial sect] only managed to acquire four or five million Immortal Source in the same span of time.

After that sum was used to pay the stipends for the Flowing Fire Star Palace's several thousand Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] and its Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful immortal patriarchs], and after deducting operational costs, what remained was actually not much.

Of course, Eldrin Chen could achieve this primarily because the Chen Immortal Clan possessed staggering resources, holding assets like the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [a precious cultivation elixir] and other materials worth several hundred million Immortal Source.

Once these resources were depleted, the acquisition of Immortal Source would drastically decrease.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke, "Since obtaining the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel for refining primordial energy], Immortal Source has become an indispensable strategic resource for us." "Henceforth, when distributing stipends to our clansmen, we shall no longer issue Immortal Source. Instead, we will use Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [a high-grade immortal elixir], Immortal Herbs [plants imbued with immortal energy], and Immortal Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by immortals] as the primary forms of compensation."

"Within the Immortal Alliance [a grand coalition of immortal cultivators and sects], we must also promote the use of Immortal Alliance Merit [a standardized measure of contribution and virtue within the alliance] as a transactional currency. In the Merit Points [contribution points] exchange repository, we must stock ample Immortal Treasures [artifacts of immense power and spiritual significance] and Spiritual Object [objects imbued with profound spiritual energy]. Our aim is to gather as much Immortal Source [the primordial spiritual essence that fuels immortal cultivation] as possible from the various major powers into our hands."

"Understood."

Thalion Chen nodded slowly, committing this matter to memory.

Eldrin Chen spoke at length for some time. Only after outlining the clan's future plans in detail did he finally say, "While in the long term, we can acquire a considerable amount of Immortal Source [the primordial spiritual essence that fuels immortal cultivation]."

"However, in the short term, we still require a substantial sum of Immortal Source [the primordial spiritual essence that fuels immortal cultivation] to expedite the advancement of your Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a cultivator's innate spiritual foundation, connecting them to the energies of heaven and earth]." Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang pondered briefly before asking, "What do you intend to do?"

"I plan to make a journey to the Seven Mysteries Abode of Bliss [a legendary realm of cultivation and hidden wonders]."

Eldrin Chen stated calmly, then added with a faint smile, "That Qixuan the Daoist oversees a Large Immortal Source Mine [a major vein rich in Immortal Source essence]. It stands to reason he must possess a significant quantity of Immortal Source [the primordial spiritual essence that fuels immortal cultivation]." Your portal to cultivation novels: audi0-n0vel.c0m.
