Chapter 1585 : Forging the Supreme Dao Body

For them, the only path forward was to forge their physical constitutions into something mightier, to undergo a metamorphosis into a formidable Middle Grade Dao Body or even a Superior Grade Dao Body [a supreme physical foundation for cultivation]. Only then could they hope to break through the World Creation [the realm of creating one's own inner world] and even the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals].

As for the Great Luo Golden Body [the legendary physique of the Great Luo Realm] that lay beyond, its attainment required shattering the very heavenly barriers of the flesh itself. Those with the potential to break this physical heavenly gate were none other than those possessing a supreme Dao Body [a physique aligned with the fundamental Dao]. In other words, across all the heavens, aside from those blessed with a supreme Dao Body, the hope for any other to ascend to the Great Luo Realm [the Great Luo Realm of cultivation] was vanishingly slim.

Fortunately, as Immortal [Immortals] continuously elevated their cultivation, their physical bodies and bloodlines would also undergo a profound metamorphosis.

Take, for instance, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an indestructible physique born of Primordial Chaos]. Cultivated by Eldrin Chen to its present state, it had already surpassed the supreme Immortal Physique [a supreme immortal-grade physical constitution] of his peers, proving even more formidable than Lyra Jiang's Lunar Immortal Physique [a physique imbued with the essence of the lunar immortal].

Any being capable of reaching the Heaven Immortal Realm had undoubtedly already forged a Superior Grade Dao Body. Such existences possessed a degree of ability to reshape their own foundational roots. By ceaselessly contemplating the power of the Innate [the primordial, pre-cosmic state] and continuously fusing with Innate Qi [Primordial Qi, the fundamental energy of creation], they could guide their physical forms through an ongoing process of transformation.

For a Heaven Immortal [a Celestial Immortal], given sufficient comprehension, resources, and innate talent, there remained a tangible possibility of cultivating an even more powerful supreme Immortal Physique.

However, for a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a Paragon within the Heaven Immortal Realm] seeking to mend the flaws in their foundation, Innate Qi was an indispensable treasure. Furthermore, it was said that even an Innate Great Power [a Great Power who has attained the Innate state], when attempting a breakthrough, would require the consumption of vast amounts of Innate Qi.

Thus, since time immemorial, Innate Qi had rarely flowed into the hands of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator halfway to becoming a Celestial Immortal]. After all, Innate Qi was a treasure fervently sought after even by Heaven Immortal, who would be willing to part with it to aid another's journey of Reverse to Innate [the process of reversing one's nature back to the primordial Innate state]?

In truth, within the Chen Immortal Clan [the Chen Immortal Clan], aside from figures like Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang, and Nyssa Qu, the others who wished to one day glimpse the Great Luo would likely still need to expend a not insignificant amount of Innate Qi.

The constitutions such as Qiyuan Chen's Indestructible Golden Body [an unbreakable physique of golden light], Ethan Chen's Cycle of Life and Death Dao Physique [a physique embodying the Dao cycle of life and death], Yvonne the Violet Consort's Violet Flame Immortal Physique [an immortal physique infused with violet flame], Lila's Frost Soul Immortal Body [an immortal body with a soul of frost], and Verdant Consort's Green Lotus Immortal Constitution [an immortal constitution akin to a green lotus]—all these were Superior Grade Dao Body forged through later cultivation.

These Immortal Physique are also exceptionally powerful, consuming far fewer resources than Eldrin Chen, yet none are as easily attained as Lyra Jiang's.

More importantly, for them to attempt a breakthrough into the Great Luo Realm [the supreme realm of cultivation], they must first refine their physical bodies to a level comparable to top-tier Immortal Physique like the Lunar Immortal Physique [a physique bathed in the essence of the moon], thus qualifying to glimpse the heavenly barrier of the flesh. "Fortunately, the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a legendary pill for forging an indestructible golden body] possesses wondrous efficacy and can still aid them for now." Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. He then expended a portion of Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with primordial spiritual essence] and four strands of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi [the foundational energy of the manifested world] to cultivate four shoots of Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot [a rare spiritual bamboo of supreme unity].

After completing this task, he arrived at the Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of flowing flames] and began refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill.

Given Eldrin Chen's current cultivation base and mastery of Alchemy [the art of pill refinement], his success rate for refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill was already quite high. Coupled with his ample supply of Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot, he proceeded without restraint. Thus, in merely a few hundred years, he successfully completed the first batch of Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill.

To his delight, this first attempt at refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill yielded the achievement of producing two pills from a single batch.

"Two pills from one batch. My current Alchemy skill can now be considered top-tier even among Eighth Rank Supreme Grade [the pinnacle of the eighth cultivation rank] masters."

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

Although, considering the value of the Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot, producing only two pills per batch could be considered a loss, Eldrin Chen was still immensely pleased.

After all, a breakthrough in Alchemy would significantly increase his Pill Success Rate [the likelihood of successfully refining a pill] for lower-grade Pill [refined spiritual elixirs].

Upon reflection, achieving two pills per batch was within expectations. He had, after all, successfully refined the even more difficult Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [a pill granting enlightenment into the balance of Yin and Yang] back when he was merely a Seventh Level Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal at the seventh level].

At this time, Eldrin Chen's Mana [the spiritual power cultivated by immortals] was sufficient to rival that of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to true immortality], making him a formidable power within the Taiyi Realm [a high-level realm of cultivation]. Therefore, achieving such a Pill Success Rate [the likelihood of successfully concocting a pill] for this grade of Pill [a medicinal elixir refined for cultivation] was well within expectations.

Moreover, Eldrin Chen had a faint intuition that myself's Pill Success Rate [the likelihood of successfully concocting a pill] for this particular elixir should be even higher than this.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately proceeded to light the furnace once more. Not long after, a second batch of the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme pill for forging an indestructible golden physique] was successfully refined.

This batch yielded a full three pills, bringing a look of profound satisfaction to Eldrin Chen's face. Producing three pills from a single refinement was a yield sufficient to recoup his investment.

One must understand, even many Alchemy [the art of pill refinement] masters at the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals], using Ninth Rank [the pinnacle rank] Alchemy [the art of pill refinement] to concoct the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme pill for forging an indestructible golden physique], typically only produce five or six pills per batch at most.

A yield of three pills per batch greatly bolstered Eldrin Chen's confidence.

He promptly commenced a third refinement. As anticipated, this third batch also yielded three Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [another name for the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill, denoting its celestial cloud-like markings]. When it came to the fourth batch, Eldrin Chen gathered his momentum and, with a single concerted effort, refined four Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme pill for forging an indestructible golden physique], elevating his Pill Success Rate [the likelihood of successfully concocting a pill] to an even loftier realm.

"Four pills from one batch?"

Gazing at the final batch of Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme pill for forging an indestructible golden physique], Eldrin Chen could not suppress a surge of wild joy. His eyes gleaming, he murmured, "With my current level of Alchemy [the art of pill refinement], could I attempt to break through to the Ninth Rank [the pinnacle rank]?"

Eldrin Chen whispered this to himself, but within moments, he regained his composure. With his present mastery of Alchemy [the art of pill refinement], he indeed possessed the qualifications to assault the Ninth Rank [the pinnacle rank]. However, his chances of success were likely only around fifty percent.

Once failure occurs, all previous efforts would be wasted, and even if the refinement succeeds, at most only a single pill can be produced.

Within the current Chen Immortal Clan, there are only two Ninth Rank Immortal Fruit [a fruit imbued with immense spiritual power, often used in high-level alchemy], both being Taiyi Immortal Fruit [a supreme-grade immortal fruit of the Taiyi rank] at the Ninth Rank level.

The value of that Taiyi Immortal Fruit is immeasurable; each one is equivalent to three Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a divine weapon of the Taiyi rank]. Losing any single plant would be utterly unacceptable to Eldrin Chen.

Furthermore, once a Taiyi Immortal Fruit breaks through to the Innate Realm [a primordial, pre-cosmic state of existence], it can transform into an Innate Taiyi Immortal Fruit [a primordial-grade Taiyi immortal fruit].

And that Innate Taiyi Immortal Fruit serves as the primary ingredient for the Innate Taiyi Pill [a legendary pill that aids in establishing supreme foundational realms]. Just how precious, then, is the value of that Innate Taiyi Immortal Pill?

Within the current Chen Immortal Clan, aside from Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang, and Nyssa Qu who is bolstered by her bloodline, the chances for others to break through to the Triple Taiyi Foundation [the supreme foundation of three Taiyi realms] do not exceed fifty percent. Verdant Consort has stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a realm of extraordinary, often restricted, cultivation potential], signifying an exceptional foundation; she likely has about a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the three Taiyi Realm. With the aid of an Innate Taiyi Pill, her chance of breakthrough would be at least seventy percent. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio‑novel.com.

If further combined with the Dao Source [the primordial source essence of the Great Dao] obtained during the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial] and other resources that assist in breakthroughs, achieving the three types of Supreme Primordial Foundation would be virtually assured.

Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort fall somewhat short. Although the two women's physical bodies, comprehension of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality], and Dao Fruit [the crystallization of one's cultivation path] are Valerius, they are not considered outstanding among Half-Step Celestial Immortal cultivators.

Their likelihood of breaking through to the Heaven Immortal Realm might exceed seventy or eighty percent, but their chance of cultivating the Three Taiyi Foundations is probably only around twenty percent.

To truly reach the stage of the Triple Taiyi Foundation, they would need rare treasures to enhance their own Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound, intrinsic foundation of a cultivator's power] and must be assisted by precious Spiritual Object [objects imbued with potent spiritual energy] to have a possibility of breakthrough.

If they possessed the Innate Taiyi Pill [a legendary pill that can help establish the supreme foundation for an immortal], and supplemented it with treasures like the Dao Source [the primordial origin of a Great Dao] found within the Great Tribulation [a cosmic calamity that reshapes fate and destiny], then they would have a tangible chance of cultivating the Three Taiyi Foundations [the supreme triple foundation for an immortal's path].

For individuals like Ethan Chen, Kael Chen, and Qiyuan Chen, possession of the Innate Taiyi Pill would significantly increase their certainty in consolidating the Three Taiyi Foundations.

These individuals are not merely Eldrin Chen's Dao companions and clansmen; they are also invaluable pillars of support for him.

One must understand that since Eldrin Chen set foot in the Immortal Domain [the realm of immortals], his ability to blaze a trail through thorns and brambers was not solely due to his own prodigious talent. It was equally because he was bolstered by the steadfast support of his several Dao companions.

In numerous great battles, these individuals contributed immense effort. Had Eldrin Chen fought alone, he might have long since fallen beneath the onslaught of powerful foes.

Even if he had not fallen, his achievements would surely have been far fewer.

Should these few cultivate the Triple Taiyi Foundation and ascend to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of Heavenly Immortals], each would become a formidable figure among the Heavenly Immortal Paragon [the pinnacle existences among Heavenly Immortals], offering Eldrin Chen even greater aid.

Under these circumstances, the Innate Taiyi Pill is indispensable. How to best utilize these two Taiyi Immortal Fruit [a celestial fruit containing the essence of the Supreme Unity] is the paramount issue determining whether the Chen Immortal Clan [the Chen Clan of Immortals] can truly rise to prominence.
