Chapter 1605 : A Glimpse of Celestial Ascension

She understood clearly in her heart that with the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme elixir that refines the physical body to a primordial state of unity], the Three Maidens of Sun, Moon, and Stars truly had hope of stepping into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm [a quasi-immortal state just below the true Celestial Immortal realm]. If their Dao Tribulation [the trials and tribulations one faces on the path of cultivation] granted sufficient opportunity, there was even a genuine possibility of glimpsing the Heaven Immortal [the realm of a true Celestial Immortal].

Thinking of this, Divine Lord Glaze smiled faintly and said, "This Abyssal Daoist [a title for a profound and mysterious cultivator] possesses noble character and shows great care for those around him. He is indeed a fine match."

"Divine Lord..."

The three maidens were momentarily taken aback by her words. Stella spoke, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

Solara remained quite composed, shaking her head. "Given our potential and current strength, I fear we are not worthy of him."

Divine Lord Glaze also nodded in agreement, then continued, "This man possesses Great Luo Potential [the destiny to reach the apex of the Great Luo Heavenly Dao, the highest path]. Unless you truly ascend to the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of a true Celestial Immortal], the gap is indeed significant."

Luna, the Consort, who had remained silent until now, spoke thoughtfully, "The Heaven Immortal [the realm of a true Celestial Immortal], is it?"

Eldrin Chen departed from the Glazed Blessed Land. Gazing at the three Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [an elixir that harmonizes the opposing forces of Yin and Yang to grant profound insight] in his hand, he fell into deep contemplation.

After pondering for a time, he ultimately made two journeys—first to the Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss, then to the Violet Firmament Dao Palace.

He gave the remaining Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme elixir that refines the physical body to a primordial state of unity] to the Separated Flame Deity, and one of the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [an elixir that harmonizes the opposing forces of Yin and Yang to grant profound insight] to Zixuan the Daoist.

These two individuals possessed considerable resources and did not owe Eldrin Chen anything. They directly exchanged two Supreme Grade Heaven-Opening Rare Treasures [supreme-grade treasures of immense value used to open paths to higher realms] for the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill.

The two exchanged Heaven-Opening Marvels [miraculous objects used to initiate profound breakthroughs] were of no use to Eldrin Chen, but they could be given to Lyra Jiang and others to refine their Lifebound Immortal Treasures [immortal-grade magical artifacts bound to a cultivator's life force]. This was considered a rare and valuable gain.

After delivering the items to the two places, Eldrin Chen then made his way to the Netherworld [the realm of the dead and ghosts]. He first gave the Innate Netherworld Crystal and a Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill to Qing the Ancient Ancestor, before arriving at Ancient Ruins Ghost City.

After many years apart, Ancient Ruins Ghost City remained exceptionally low-key, far less bustling than Verdant Ghost City.

However, when Eldrin Chen met Ancient Ruins Yin Lord again, he discovered that Ancient Ruins Yin Lord had already cultivated the Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [a supreme immortal body of perfect unity] and stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm.

Clearly, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, who had reversed his Pure Yang Body [a constitution of pure Yang energy], surpassed Sky Abyss Daoist in both the depth of his foundation and his combat prowess.

Eldrin Chen even had a feeling that with Ancient Ruins Yin Lord's skill and strength, even without Eldrin Chen's assistance, he would very likely become a supreme Netherworld Great Power [a mighty figure of immense power within the Netherworld] in the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain in the future.

The Netherworld Heaven Immortal Realm might not be the ultimate limit of his cultivation path.

"Fellow Daoist Ancient Ruins has already forged the Primordial Unity Golden Body [the Golden Body of Primordial Unity, a supreme physical form]. It seems the condensation of the Dual Taiyi Foundation [a foundational cultivation stage of dual supreme unity] is not far off," Eldrin Chen remarked with some emotion.

In the rear courtyard of the Ancient Ruins Great Hall, Eldrin Chen sat facing Ancient Ruins Yin Lord.

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord offered a faint smile, calmly brewing a pot of tea for Eldrin Chen before speaking. "For cultivators like us, fortune and opportunity are the true keys," he said.

"For millions of years, both in life and after death, my existence was utterly unremarkable. Had it not been for the substantial gains within the Minor Universe, I would never have achieved my current standing."

"Excellent tea." Eldrin Chen took a small sip and offered praise before continuing. "For this impending Dao Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial faced by cultivators to prove their Dao], I may well require the aid of Fellow Daoist."

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord remained serene, a smile gracing his features. "We support each other, facing the tribulation together. Why speak of who aids whom?"

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, offering no further words.

He produced the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [a supreme elixir that harmonizes the opposing forces of Yin and Yang to catalyze profound enlightenment]. "With this, Fellow Daoist, do you believe you have the confidence to achieve a breakthrough into the Dual Taiyi Foundation [a legendary foundational realm where one's spiritual essence is perfectly balanced between the primordial forces of Yin and Yang]?"

"This pill..."

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord paused momentarily, a flicker of surprise crossing his features before he accepted the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill. "With this in hand, combined with the resources I have gathered over the years, I possess an eighty percent certainty of breaking through to the Dual Taiyi Foundation."

"However, this treasure is exceedingly precious. I currently possess nothing of equivalent value from the Yang Realm [a plane of existence dominated by the active, luminous Yang principle] to offer in exchange."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen smiled warmly. "There is no need for haste. When the Dao Tribulation descends and we stand shoulder to shoulder in battle, you may simply claim an item of equivalent worth from our shared spoils and present it to me then."

"Very well."

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord did not decline. As a half-step Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a cultivator on the verge of attaining the highest immortal realm], he was confident in his ability to repay this karmic debt, and was thus somewhat more composed than Sky Abyss Daoist.

Eldrin Chen departed from Ancient Ruins Ghost City and soon returned to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss.

He handed the two Supreme Grade Heaven-Opening Rare Treasure [legendary artifacts of the highest grade, said to possess the power to cleave open the heavens] to Lyra Jiang, then summoned Yvonne the Violet Consort, Nyssa Qu, Verdant Consort, and Lila to his Cultivation Cave.

"This time, I am about to enter the three great forbidden zones for cultivation. To prevent any delays in my return, I have already made arrangements with our allies: the Glazed Blessed Land, the Violet Firmament Dao Palace, Separated Flame Deity, Sky Abyss Daoist, and Ancient Ruins Yin Lord,"

"Should the Chen Immortal Clan truly encounter trouble, these powers will not stand idly by." For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel . com.

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, detailing the matters to be handled after myself departed.

Upon hearing this, the hearts of Lyra Jiang and the other four women grew heavy. Within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, forbidden zones were, after all, places of extreme peril.

In the past, Eldrin Chen had managed to trap and slay a half-step Heavenly Immortal Paragon merely at the fringes of the Myriad Crows Forbidden Zone, a testament to the lethality of such places.

More importantly, this time Eldrin Chen intended to venture deep into the forbidden zones, harnessing their boundless destructive energies to cultivate his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable, forged from the primordial chaos]. The process was certain to be fraught with unimaginable danger.

Even though Eldrin Chen possessed the Innate Yin-Yang Void Mirror [a legendary treasure capable of manipulating the fundamental forces of Yin and Yang], whether he would return alive remained an uncertain prospect.

Thinking of this, Verdant Consort [a powerful cultivator and Eldrin's companion] and the others were already filled with anxiety. Seeing Eldrin Chen take the time before his departure to personally visit several close friends, laying groundwork for his clan in preparation for the worst, only deepened their apprehension.

Yvonne the Violet Consort [another of Eldrin's powerful companions], her worry getting the better of her, could not help but ask, "Is this journey truly necessary?"

"It concerns the Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental path of cultivation and cosmic truth]; how can I retreat?"

Eldrin Chen replied with a faint smile, then continued, "Given the requirements of my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique forged from the essence of primordial chaos], within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the vast realm of immortals], the places capable of refining it to completion are few. Aside from those rare Grotto-Heaven [self-contained pocket dimensions of immense spiritual power], only these forbidden lands remain."

Upon hearing this, the women could only sigh softly.

They understood in their hearts that the path of the Great Dao was one of no return. To take a single step back today might require a thousandfold effort to reclaim tomorrow, if it could be reclaimed at all.

Eldrin Chen, sensing their concern, offered reassurance: "Set your minds at ease. With the means at my disposal now, is there any corner of this world I cannot tread?"

"What are the forbidden lands of the Immortal Domain to me? What does not kill me will only forge me stronger."

With those final words, Eldrin Chen said no more.

He handed over all remaining items on his person to Lyra Jiang and the others. Apart from the Yin-Yang Union Gourd, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, the Gale God-Slaying Gourd, and his Lifebound Supreme Treasure, Eldrin Chen only carried a few Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [pills that restore a cultivator's spiritual energy and vitality] for replenishing his Mana [the spiritual energy used to perform magical arts and techniques].

Furthermore, the Human Sovereign's Sword, the Grand Unity Refined Gold War Halberd, as well as the Innate Treasure Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth, were all entrusted by Eldrin Chen to Lyra Jiang.

Now, each of Eldrin Chen's Lifebound Divine Ability [innate supernatural powers bound to a cultivator's life force] had reached the Mysterious Profound realm. The power unleashed by any single one of them was sufficient to rival a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a supreme-grade immortal artifact of immense power].

If even three Innate Treasure [treasures born from the primordial forces of heaven and earth] and his Lifebound Divine Ability were insufficient to ensure his safety, these two Taiyi Immortal Weapon would be of little additional use.

After distributing his other treasures to the women, Eldrin Chen prepared to depart. Yet, before he could leave, Lyra Jiang pulled him back.

"What is it?"

Eldrin Chen was puzzled, only to find Lyra Jiang gazing at him with profound intensity.

Beside them, a delicate blush graced the peerlessly beautiful faces of Nyssa Qu, Verdant Consort, Yvonne the Violet Consort, and Lila.

"Didn't you always say you wished to enjoy the bliss of having multiple companions?"

"Today, we shall let you gather all five blessings and experience this Mundane World's Supreme Bliss [the ultimate worldly happiness, often referring to a life of perfect harmony and fulfillment]." Your portal to cultivation novels: audio‑novel.com.
