Chapter 1594 : The Violet Qi's Primordial Awakening

Currently, Eldrin Chen held in his possession a total of thirty-four strands of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi [a refined spiritual essence, the ultimate postnatal form of Primordial Essence].

"With my current cultivation level, I am fully capable of condensing Innate Primordial Violet Qi [a supreme spiritual energy imbued with the aura of primordial chaos]," Eldrin murmured to himself, a faint smile touching his eyes.

He did not delay, proceeding to consecutively condense three strands of the Innate Primordial Violet Qi.

The Innate Primordial Violet Qi was exceedingly precious. Even though Acquired Primordial Origin Qi represented the ultimate postnatal form of Primordial Essence [the fundamental, undifferentiated substance from which all things originate], nine strands were required to synthesize just one strand of its innate counterpart.

"Success," he declared softly.

Sensing the three strands of Innate Primordial Violet Qi circulating within his body, Eldrin's eyes shone with a peculiar light, flickering with a trace of pleasant surprise.

He immediately began to deduce and analyze, swiftly uncovering the profound utility of this Innate Primordial Violet Qi.

This Innate Primordial Violet Qi contained within it the aura of innate Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the creation of the cosmos]. It could nourish all things and was even more Mysterious Profound [profound and unfathomable] than Innate Qi [the fundamental innate energy present at the birth of the universe].

Its wondrous function was similar to Innate Qi—it could assist Postnatal Beings [beings born into the formed world] in the process of Reverse to Innate [a cultivation art focused on reverting one's postnatal constitution back to an innate state]—yet it lacked the inherent restrictions of Innate Qi.

According to Eldrin Chen's understanding, while Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the beginning of creation] could assist Postnatal Beings [beings born into the material world after its formation] in Reverse to Innate [the process of returning to a primordial, pre-creation state], it possessed significant limitations.

This was because Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the beginning of creation], though Mysterious Profound [profoundly mysterious and unfathomable], could help postnatal entities break through the bottleneck separating the postnatal from the innate, it could not enable them to surpass their limits a second time.

Only living beings like Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation] who possessed an Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of the highest grade, harmonized with heaven and earth] and had cultivated an Innate Foundation [a foundation built upon primordial, innate principles], or entities with 'limitless growth potential' such as a Life-Bound Magical Treasure [a magical artifact bound to its owner's life force, growing alongside them], could continue to refine Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the beginning of creation] and thereby advance.

However, for ordinary treasures, it held no further effect.

Take, for example, Eldrin Chen's Yin-Yang Union Gourd [a gourd-shaped treasure embodying the union of Yin and Yang], or that Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a vase capable of containing the primordial energy of heaven and earth].

Such fully-formed Innate Treasure [a treasure born from primordial chaos, possessing innate power] had already lost the potential for further advancement. The Innate Dao Patterns [the fundamental patterns of the Dao woven into an object at its creation] within them were utterly fixed; no amount of refining Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the beginning of creation] could possibly elevate them to the rank of a Mid-Grade Innate Treasure [a mid-grade treasure born from primordial chaos].

Yet, Eldrin Chen's Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the supreme, violet-hued primordial energy from the dawn of creation] was different from ordinary Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the beginning of creation].

This Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the supreme, violet-hued primordial energy from the dawn of creation] could nourish all things. Even a fully-formed object like the Yin-Yang Union Gourd [a gourd-shaped treasure embodying the union of Yin and Yang], if it fused with a single strand of Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the supreme, violet-hued primordial energy from the dawn of creation], would undergo a startling metamorphosis, potentially ascending to mid-grade or even High-Grade Innate Treasure [a high-grade treasure born from primordial chaos].

Theoretically, Eldrin Chen could even use Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the supreme, violet-hued primordial energy from the dawn of creation] to elevate the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a vase capable of containing the primordial energy of heaven and earth] to the level of an Innate Ancient Treasure [an ancient treasure of the highest innate grade].

If one could condense Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Light [spiritual light born from the primordial chaos at the universe's inception], it might even be possible to advance the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a vase capable of containing the primordial energy of heaven and earth] into an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of the highest innate order].

"For one who possesses Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and purest form of energy in existence], the wondrous utility of the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel capable of nurturing the essence of creation] even surpasses that of an Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primal chaos of creation]. Yet, the Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with the innate spiritual essence of heaven and earth] it nurtures is merely Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Water [a basic form of this spiritually potent water]."

"This Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Water, its usefulness for an Innate Spiritual Root [a cultivator's foundational spiritual talent, born from innate potential] has already greatly diminished. Ultimately, the day will come when it is rendered obsolete."

"Yet, if this treasure were to advance to an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure of ancient origin and immense power, born from primal chaos], or even to an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme spiritual treasure of innate origin], it could accelerate the growth of Primordial Ancient Trees [trees of mythic stature that existed at the dawn of creation], perhaps even directly cause them to ascend in rank…"

Eldrin Chen felt a tremor in his heart. Gazing at the Innate Primordial Violet Qi [a strand of the most primal and auspicious violet energy from the beginning of time] before him, his inner excitement grew ever more fervent.

A feeling arose within him: once the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth advanced to an Innate Ancient Treasure, it would likely no longer require the consumption of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi [primordial origin energy acquired through cultivation or fortune] to elevate a spiritual root. This object alone would be sufficient to promote one to a Taiyi Spiritual Root [a supreme-grade spiritual root representing unity with the primordial Dao].

If it were to advance to an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the wondrous effects of the Innate Spiritual Water it nurtured would likely rival Innate Qi [the pure, unadulterated energy present at the birth of the universe]. One dare not claim it could cultivate a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a peerless immortal who has ascended to the heavenly realms], but promoting a Primordial Ancient Trees should be well within its capabilities.

"This Innate Primordial Violet Qi, it truly is an extraordinary thing."

"Should I proceed with advancing the Primordial Ancient Trees?"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, falling into deep contemplation.

His Earth Immortal World [a personal miniature world cultivated within an Earth Immortal] could not yet bear the weight of a Primordial Ancient Trees. If he were to advance one in the outside world, the celestial phenomena it would trigger would certainly alert a Heavenly Immortal Paragon. When that time came, Eldrin Chen would have no hope of keeping it.

Advancing within this Minor Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or realm] is indeed a fitting choice, but Eldrin Chen had yet to decide precisely which plant to elevate.

He possessed only three strands of Innate Primordial Violet Qi [a supreme-grade spiritual energy of cosmic origin, purple in hue], while his reserves of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi [a foundational spiritual energy acquired through cultivation] numbered Six Paths. He estimated that by the time the Dao Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial faced by cultivators] commenced, he could condense five strands of Innate Primordial Violet Qi.

Furthermore, once his Rule [comprehension of a fundamental cosmic law] achieved a breakthrough and his Lifebound Immortal Treasure [a cultivator's soul-bound magical artifact] ascended to the rank of a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a supreme-grade immortal artifact], Eldrin Chen would also need to elevate his lifebound treasure into a Lifebound Innate Treasure [a soul-bound treasure of innate, cosmic origin].

Adding to these considerations, those two Taiyi Immortal Fruit [fruits of supreme immortal grade] would also require Innate Primordial Violet Qi for their advancement.

Therefore, for the purpose of elevating the Primordial Ancient Trees [trees of ancient, primordial origin], Eldrin Chen could allocate at most one or two strands.

"To enhance my combat strength, I must advance a Primordial Ancient Trees as soon as possible. But which one should it be?"

After a moment of silent contemplation, Eldrin Chen gazed upon the three Taiyi Ancient Tree [ancient trees of the supreme Taiyi grade] and found himself ensnared in a difficult choice. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel dot com.

A short while later, his eyes settled upon the Gale Gourd Vine and the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and his resolve crystallized in an instant.

The Gale God-Slaying Gourd was a Supreme [a pinnacle-grade] treasure of slaughter. Once this artifact ascended to the Innate Realm [the realm of innate, cosmic existence], Eldrin Chen estimated it would be potent enough to slay a powerhouse in the early stages of Heaven Immortal [the Heaven Immortal cultivation realm].

Moreover, this treasure could store energy autonomously and did not require Innate Magical Power [innate-grade spiritual energy] to activate. For Eldrin Chen, this made it far more useful than even an Ancient Innate Sword [an ancient sword forged from innate materials].

With this treasure in hand, even if a Heavenly Immortal Paragon were to truly enter the fray within the Dao Tribulation [the grand cosmic trial of fate and destiny], Eldrin Chen would at least possess a means to contend.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, those existences at the mid to late stages of the Heaven Immortal [a high-level immortal realm] are all contenders with hopes of seizing the Hundred Tribulations Rebirth Opportunity [a supreme chance for rebirth and ascension after enduring a hundred cosmic trials].

Such beings are the players on the board; thus, until the Hundred Tribulations Rebirth Opportunity arrives, they should not risk entering the game prematurely.

Otherwise, if the powerful Heaven Immortal of every faction were to enter early, fighting to the death for disciples whose Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of a Heaven Immortal] has not yet been reached, and perishing before even glimpsing the Great Luo Opportunity [the supreme opportunity of the Great Luo realm], their deaths would be truly in vain.

Only those at the early stage of Heaven Immortal, like the Dragon King of the Western Abyss, who cannot offer substantial aid in the Hundred Tribulations Rebirth Opportunity, might possibly step into the Dao Tribulation to safeguard the protagonists of the great powers' Dao Tribulation.

Their purpose for descending is to act as guardians for the protagonists within the Dao Tribulation, and also to deliver the decisive, crushing blow against formidable enemies when the protagonists themselves cannot sweep all opposition aside.

Eldrin Chen believed that while such early-stage Heaven Immortal might seem unfathomably profound, once they personally descend into the Dao Tribulation, they transform from players into pieces on the board, no longer able to remain aloof and untouchable.

Returning to the main point, aside from the Gale Gourd Vine, Eldrin Chen also planned to advance the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Once this Enlightenment Tea Tree was promoted to an Innate Enlightenment Tea Tree [a primordial tea tree that grants profound enlightenment], Eldrin Chen would be confident in pushing the Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme cultivation art of boundless chaos] to the Taiyi Realm [the Taiyi realm, a profound stage of cultivation]. Furthermore, Yvonne the Violet Consort, Lila, and others would also gain a greater chance of breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a half-step into the realm of a Celestial Immortal].

Having resolved to advance these two Spiritual Root [plants of immense spiritual significance], Eldrin Chen immediately sought out the Heavenly Dao Will [the conscious will of the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic order] and informed it of his intention to temporarily transplant the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Gale Gourd Vine to this location.

The Innate Spiritual Root [a supreme-grade spiritual root born from the world's origin] was capable of drawing in Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy preceding creation] and transforming it into Immortal Spirit Qi [a purer, more potent form of spiritual energy used by high-level immortals]. Even if it were only temporarily transplanted into a Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller cosmos or world], this would be an event of monumental fortune for that Minor Universe.

Although the will of this Cosmos was still nascent, it spoke: "If you transplant it here, in the future, should your Chen Clan seek to achieve a Triple Taiyi Foundation [a legendary, supremely stable foundation for future cultivation] or even attempt to break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of true celestial immortals] within this Cosmos, I will lend my full assistance."

"With your word, my mind is at ease."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. He immediately activated the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel capable of nurturing and refining primordial energies], consuming two more strands of Innate Primordial Violet Qi [a supreme-grade innate energy of creation and origin] to successfully elevate two Primordial Ancient Trees [trees of immense age and power, born from the world's dawn].
