Chapter 1592 : A Pact with the Cosmos

"And as the price, my Chen Clan shall also ensure this Cosmos remains abundant with Primordial Qi [the foundational energy of creation], and does not suffer the calamity of its decay."

"Should this Cosmos face external foes, my Chen Clan will also dispatch powerful cultivators to aid in its defense."

After continuous negotiation, the Heavenly Dao Will [the collective consciousness and will of the cosmos's natural laws] and Eldrin Chen finally reached an agreement.

According to this pact, Eldrin Chen would nurture a 'Grand Unity Immortal Root' [a supreme spiritual root capable of evolving into a Primordial Ancient Tree] for this Cosmos, and its Heavenly Dao [the embodiment of the cosmos's supreme natural order] would employ Innate Qi [the purest, most primordial form of spiritual energy] to assist its ascension into a Primordial Ancient Trees [ancient, sentient trees of immense spiritual power that can transform energy].

Upon success, the Immortal Spirit Qi [spiritual energy of immortal grade] converted by the Primordial Ancient Trees would belong to this Cosmos, while the Primordial Spirit Fruit [a miraculous fruit born from a Primordial Ancient Tree, containing immense spiritual essence] it bore would belong to Eldrin Chen.

The Chen Immortal Clan would be granted the right for ten of its members to attempt a breakthrough to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a realm just below that of a true Celestial Immortal] here every million years, plus an additional ten slots for Half-Step Celestial Immortal and three hundred slots for Earth Immortal [immortals whose power is anchored to the earth or a specific realm] to cultivate within this Minor Universe.

Should these quotas be exceeded, then the Chen Clan would need to replenish the Primordial Qi for this Cosmos.

Furthermore, should this Cosmos ever face a calamity, the Chen Clan would be obligated to protect its safety and fight on its behalf.

With the pact established, Eldrin Chen felt a slight sense of relief settle within him.

He did not immediately proceed to nurture the Primordial Ancient Trees for this Cosmos, but instead returned to the Nameless Space. Find this and other novels at audio-novel-dot-com.

Upon arriving at the nameless space, Eldrin Chen gazed at the Abyssal Pearl and inquired, "Is there a way to connect the entrance of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss to that Cosmos, allowing direct passage from the Abyssal Abode of Bliss into that Cosmos?"

"That can be arranged,"

the Abyssal Pearl responded calmly, swiftly linking the Abyssal Abode of Bliss and the Minor Universe together.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen immediately returned to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss and summoned Lyra Jiang, the Verdant Consort, along with Yvonne the Violet Consort and Lila, who had just broken through to the Earth Immortal Nine Layers.

After they gathered, he wasted no time, leading them directly into the Minor Universe and then explaining its circumstances to them.

Upon hearing the news, all were overcome with joy. Nyssa Qu could not help but exclaim, "With this Minor Universe, we no longer need to fear encountering a Path-Obstructing Tribulation or the dangers of a failed breakthrough."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight, composed nod and then spoke, "Since we are to plant a Primordial Ancient Tree [an ancient tree of immense spiritual power, said to have existed since the dawn of creation], what are your thoughts on the selection?"

Hearing this, the group fell into thoughtful contemplation.

Since the rise of the Chen Immortal Clan over eight hundred thousand years ago, their collection of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots [spiritual roots that channel the vital energies of heaven and earth, often used as the foundation for powerful spiritual plants] had grown to nearly one thousand specimens.

Aside from the World-Opening Spiritual Roots [a supreme category of spiritual roots said to possess the power to shape nascent worlds] within their Earth Immortal World, the vast majority were of modest grade, with many having only been nurtured to the seventh rank by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Gourd.

Among the many Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a spiritual root that connects to the primal energies of heaven and earth], there were naturally quite a few rare and precious ones. Because the number of Spiritual Root [plants that absorb and refine spiritual energy from the world] was truly vast, the current dilemma of choosing which one to advance had instead become a headache-inducing problem.

After a moment, Nyssa Qu spoke up: "This is our first Primordial Ancient Trees [ancient trees that have existed since the dawn of creation] to be promoted. We must choose with utmost care."

"Ideally, the Immortal Treasures [objects of immense power and longevity used by immortals] it bears should have special, wondrous uses, or it should be a Spiritual Root that can aid in breaking through a Great Bottleneck [a major, difficult-to-surmount barrier in one's cultivation path]."

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before saying, "The most precious World-Opening Spiritual Root [spiritual roots of legendary grade, said to have existed when the world was formed] within our clan, such as the Eight Trigrams Treasure Tree [a mystical tree aligned with the eight trigrams of divination], the Enlightenment Tea Tree [a tree whose leaves brew tea that grants flashes of profound insight], the Immortal Peach Tree [a tree bearing peaches that grant longevity and vitality], and other such rare ancient trees, are all actually planted within our Earth Immortal World [a pocket dimension or minor world created and sustained by an Earth Immortal]."

"Among the remaining Spiritual Root, we can only say we must select the best of the available options."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen waved his sleeve, causing the clan's several hundred Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root to materialize before them all at once.

After repeated deliberation by everyone, Lyra Jiang made the final decision, selecting one particular tree—the Five Elements Spirit Tree [a spiritual tree that harmonizes and produces essence of the five fundamental elements].

This Five Elements Spirit Tree was considered a rare treasure in the mortal realm. Typically, such a tree only reached the Fourth Rank [a mid-level rank in the cultivation hierarchy] and was capable of bearing Five Elements Spirit Fruit [fruits imbued with the essence of one of the five elements].

Those Five Elements Spirit Fruit were divided into the five attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. A cultivator at the Purple Mansion Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Purple Mansion realm] who consumed a corresponding Five Elements Spirit Fruit could increase their chances of condensing a Golden Core Formation Pill [a foundational pill crucial for forming the Golden Core] by thirty percent.

In the early days when the Chen Immortal Clan was still weak, the Ji Immortal Clan possessed a Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree [a variant of the Five Elements Spirit Tree specifically known for its fruit]. Every few years, it would bear a large quantity of Five Elements Spirit Fruit, which they used to nurture a great many Golden Core Cultivator [cultivators who have successfully formed a Golden Core, a major milestone].

At that time, Eldrin Chen was filled with immense envy. However, the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree [a mystical tree bearing fruit imbued with the essence of the five elements] has its limitations. Such trees rarely advance beyond the Fifth Rank [the fifth major stage of cultivation]. Consequently, for an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], it is virtually worthless.

When Eldrin Chen obtained the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel capable of nurturing primordial energies], he used Innate Spiritual Water [water of supreme purity and spiritual potency] to cultivate the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree all the way to Immortal Rank [the rank corresponding to immortal beings].

An Immortal Rank Five Elements Spirit Fruit [a fruit containing the perfected essence of the five elements] is no ordinary treasure. It can aid a Demi-Immortal [a cultivator on the cusp of full immortality] in breaking through to the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the realm of true immortality], making it an exceedingly rare and precious Immortal Fruit [a fruit of legendary power, consumed by immortals].

Seeing Lyra Jiang make the decisive call, Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. "The Five Elements Fruit Tree is indeed profoundly Mysterious Profound [possessing deep, unfathomable mysteries]. If it can ascend to the Innate Realm [the primordial, pre-celestial state of existence], it may truly yield miraculous effects."

Once the decision was made, Eldrin Chen expended over one thousand drops of Innate Spiritual Water and a single breath of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi [the foundational energy of the cosmos, acquired after its formation] to finally elevate the ancient Five Elements [the cultivation art of the five fundamental elements] tree to the Taiyi Realm [the Grand Unity Realm, a primordial state of cosmic harmony].

Witnessing Eldrin Chen elevate the Five Elements Fruit Tree to the level of a Grand Unity Immortal Root [a spiritual root of Grand Unity, the foundation for immortal-grade plants], the Minor Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or lesser cosmos] did not hesitate. It immediately descended a strand of Innate Qi [primordial, uncreated energy] which merged into the Five Elements Fruit Tree. This chapter is provided by www . audio-novel.com. Support the original.

Eldrin Chen then used Innate Spiritual Water to accelerate its gestation. After expending more than three thousand drops, he finally succeeded in advancing this ancient Five Elements tree.

"Boom! Rumble!"

As the Five Elements Fruit Tree successfully ascended, its roots anchored deep into the Pure Yang Ancestral Vein [the supreme source vein of pure, unadulterated Yang energy].

The Spiritual Root [the foundational spiritual essence of a plant] of that Primordial Ancient Trees [trees from the dawn of creation] took root between heaven and earth, ceaselessly drawing upon Chaos Qi [the formless, primordial energy preceding creation] and transforming it into five distinct streams of Innate Spirit Qi [the primordial spiritual energy of the five elements].

Eldrin Chen discovered that these five types of Innate Spirit Qi [the purest form of elemental spiritual energy] were converging within the Pure Yang Ancestral Vein [the primordial spiritual artery of pure yang energy], ultimately forming five Earth Veins [subterranean channels of concentrated earth energy] imbued with Five Elements Attribute [the attributes of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth].

"A Low Grade Primordial Ancient Tree [a primordial tree of the lowest cultivation grade]."

"A Primordial Five Elements Fruit Tree [an ancient tree that bears fruit infused with the power of the five elements]."

Eldrin Chen spoke with a calm, measured tone, a faint smile gracing his features.

That Innate Five Elements [the primordial and inherent power of the five elements] Ancient Tree had taken root at the very edge of the Universe Membrane [the boundary separating the cosmos from the primordial chaos], its roots delving deep enough to touch the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation]. There, it could draw upon Chaos Qi [the raw, unformed energy of chaos] and transform it into 'Five Elements Immortal Spirit Qi' [immortal-grade spiritual energy harmonized with the five elements], thereby enriching the World's Primordial Qi [the foundational life-force energy of this world] within this Cosmos [this specific realm or universe].

If all proceeded without unforeseen disruption, these Pure Yang Earth Veins [earth veins saturated with pure yang energy] would, in time, give birth to five Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [places of supreme cultivation blessed with perfect spiritual conditions].

As the ages turned, these six Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss would converge into one, and with the continuous spiritual energy conversion by the Primordial Ancient Trees [trees that have existed since the dawn of creation], they would ultimately coalesce into a single 'Five Elements Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven' [a transcendent paradise-realm harmonizing the five elements with pure yang essence].

This revelation filled Eldrin Chen with immense joy. A Supreme Grotto-Heaven [a paradise-realm of the highest order] of that caliber was a Supreme [peerless, of the highest grade] sacred land, potent enough to sustain the cultivation needs of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal who has reached the pinnacle of the heavenly immortal realm].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen exchanged a knowing glance with the others standing beside him.

Lyra Jiang performed a brief calculation with her fingers, then spoke. "Barring any unexpected events, it will require one million years for this Grotto-Heaven [a blessed, self-contained paradise-realm for cultivation] to fully coalesce and take form."

Eldrin Chen gazed around and discovered that upon the continent, there were also five PeerlessFive Elements Earth Vein [earth veins imbued with the spiritual essence of the five fundamental elements].

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Will [the collective consciousness and will of the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic order] also spoke: "I can integrate these five Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [places of supreme cultivation blessedness and spiritual abundance] into this Grotto-Heaven [a blessed, self-contained pocket dimension of immense spiritual power]. However, in exchange, for the children born from the essence within these five Earth Vein [spiritual energy channels that form the lifeblood of a land], you must assist them in cultivating to the Dual Taiyi Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation stage representing the perfect harmony of two primordial forces]."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. These innately born Divine Spirits [powerful spiritual entities born from the essence of heaven and earth] were, in a sense, the trueborn sons of this Minor Universe's Heavenly Dao [the fundamental law and order governing this smaller, self-contained cosmos].

But for Eldrin Chen, such Divine Spirits still in the womb were like newborn infants. Establishing a favorable relationship with them early could potentially turn them into valuable allies in the future.

Most crucially, with the assistance of the Heavenly Dao, after fusing these five Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss, this Five Elements Grotto-Heaven [a Grotto-Heaven perfectly balanced with the powers of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth] would successfully ascend in rank within one hundred thousand years.
