Chapter 1607 : Tempering in the Frost Soul Storm

Deep within the inner reaches of Fallen Phoenix Ridge, powerful gales laden with Frost Soul Qi [a spiritual energy of extreme cold that can freeze the soul] relentlessly buffeted Eldrin Chen's physical form and his Divine Soul [the spiritual core of a high-level cultivator].

This Frost Soul Qi was of unparalleled purity. For any Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] cultivating the Frost Soul Law [a profound cultivation art harnessing frost and soul energy], it would be a supreme treasure, something countless individuals in the outside world would fight desperately to obtain.

Yet, when endless torrents of Frost Soul Qi swept forth as they did now, it became a true nightmare. Even an existence at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] would, under such an onslaught of Frost Soul Qi, likely be frozen into an ice sculpture with their soul scattered to the winds within a mere few days.

Even Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of near-unbreakable resilience born from primordial chaos], subjected to this ceaseless scourge of Frost Soul Qi, felt his flesh begin to ache dully, his extremities growing numb with a penetrating chill.

"This place... will suffice."

Sensing the creeping cold in his body, a surge of exhilaration rose within Eldrin Chen's heart.

He immediately settled into a meditative posture, beginning to draw upon the vast quantities of Frost Soul Qi, using the boundless frost energy to temper and refine his physical vessel.

This Frost Soul Qi was the epitome of Yin and cold, capable of inflicting severe damage upon an Immortal's body. Not even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to the Celestial Immortal realm] would dare linger within it for long.

Eldrin Chen continuously absorbed the frost soul power, allowing the Frost Soul Qi to penetrate deep into his Five Viscera [the five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys] and marrow. It froze and cleansed his immortal blood and Five Viscera in an endless cycle.

Throughout this process, Eldrin Chen also stirred the light of the Five Divine Spirits [a divine ability manifesting five elemental spirits] within him, channeling Chaos Miasma [primordial, formless energy of chaos] to constantly intermingle and clash against the invading frost.

Through this repeated process of tempering and refinement, the Five Divine Spirits [a supreme divine ability manifesting five elemental divine spirits] gradually purified the vast quantities of impurities they had absorbed after refining the Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [a supreme-grade paradise realm], becoming increasingly pristine.

Simultaneously, Eldrin Chen's physical body grew ever more formidable under this tempering. The Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial essence of a being or technique] within the Five Divine Spirits also grew purer, granting him ever greater mastery over their power.

Thus, as time flowed onward, reaching a point three Millennium [a unit of fate or destiny, often representing a grand cycle of one thousand years] later, Eldrin Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"The Frost Soul Qi [a chilling spiritual energy that can freeze both body and soul] here no longer exerts sufficient pressure upon me," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen rose to his feet, allowing the boundless currents of Frost Soul Qi to wash over his form. Yet, his flesh registered not the slightest hint of cold.

He understood the reason well. The Frost Soul Qi in this inner region was not potent enough to threaten even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a pinnacle expert within the Heavenly Immortal realm]. With the current might of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an indestructible physique born from primordial chaos], this energy could no longer propel him further along his path of physical refinement.

"My Taiyi Primordial Indestructible Physique [the Taiyi Primordial Indestructible Physique, a legendary constitution of immense durability] still possesses vast room for advancement," he stated.

"The Frost Vein Body Tempering Method [a body-tempering art that channels frost energy through the meridians] has not yet reached its ultimate conclusion. A more potent frost soul force is required for its completion."

Eldrin Chen whispered these words to himself, then turned his gaze toward the heart of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge [a mountain range where a primordial phoenix is said to have fallen].

The core of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge was the very point where the Primordial Frost Phoenix [an ancient, primordial beast of frost and ice in phoenix form] had met its end. It was shrouded by an intensely frigid Frost Soul Innate Great Dao Embryo [the embryonic form of a Great Dao of Frost Soul, an innate cosmic principle]. Legends spoke of Heavenly Immortal Paragon perishing within its depths in ages long past.

For Eldrin Chen, the core region of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge remained far too perilous.

"Enough. Regardless, I must make this journey," he murmured, his resolve firming.

With a low whisper, Eldrin Chen steeled his will and stepped into the heart of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge.

The deepest core of this place was saturated with a terrifying Frost Soul Power [the essence of profound cold and ice]. Within, boundless Frost Soul Qi congealed the very heavens and earth, its density so immense that not even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon could tear open the Void [the fabric of space itself].

Eldrin Chen tested his abilities and found the Innate Yin-Yang Void Mirror [a mystical artifact capable of spatial translocation] could still be activated, though its power was severely suppressed. The distance it could teleport him was drastically reduced; he estimated he would need to channel its power at least ten times consecutively to escape the Fallen Phoenix Ridge directly.

This realization settled upon him with grave weight. His expression turned solemn as he began to advance with utmost caution into the depths of the ridge.

Contrary to Eldrin Chen's expectations, the heart of the Fallen Phoenix Ridge was eerily silent. There were no powerful creatures born of the Frost Soul essence, as he had imagined. Only an eternal, bone-chilling cold reigned supreme, freezing all things in a perpetual, silent frost.

Moving with painstaking care, Eldrin Chen located a suitable Earth Vein [a convergence point of the earth's spiritual energy] within the core region. There, he settled into cultivation, continuously drawing upon the Frost Soul Qi to temper and refine his physical body.

Thus, ten thousand years slipped by in the blink of an eye. Tempered by the extreme potency of the Frost Soul Qi, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of unparalleled resilience] grew ever more flawless and perfect.

Yet, just as his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was on the cusp of completing the final step of its ice-vein tempering, Eldrin Chen awoke from his deep seclusion.

"Not enough yet."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a trace of regret coloring his features.

The power of the Frost Soul Qi [the essence of extreme cold and frost] here was already astonishing, nearly equivalent to ten top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortal cultivators who practiced Ice Attribute Dao Principles, sacrificing their own Primordial Source [the foundational life force and essence of a cultivator] to perpetually channel Frost Soul energy to assist Eldrin Chen in tempering his physical body.

Moreover, this process was unceasing, lasting for ten thousand years or even a hundred thousand years.

Such relentless, extreme cold could only be withstood by a Heavenly Immortal Paragon, and even an existence of that level might endure it for a time, but could not possibly persist for ten thousand years.

Only Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of immense resilience and resistance], with its great resistance to all manner of foreign energies, could survive. As long as the assault did not exceed the limits of what the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body could bear, he would not truly perish. For the best reading experience, visit site: audio-novel.com.

Yet even so, this Frost Soul Qi still fell short by a margin, preventing Eldrin Chen from crossing that final threshold.

"The quality is insufficient."

Eldrin Chen whispered slowly, understanding at last the reason why the cultivation method for the Frost Meridian of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had not been fully perfected.

The cultivation of his Frost Meridian within the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, having absorbed a vast sea of Frost Soul Qi, was now nearly complete. Yet, it still lacked that final half-step to true perfection.

Because the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable by the forces of chaos] was too formidable, to achieve its ultimate and complete metamorphosis, it required the power of Innate Realm [the foundational realm of cultivation, representing one's innate potential] level Frost Soul Qi [a profound spiritual essence of ice and soul, capable of freezing the very spirit] to thoroughly shatter its limits and take that final step.

Once this step succeeded, even Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme master who has ascended to the peak of the immortal path] who cultivated Ice Attribute [an affinity for the elemental power of ice] Innate Dao Principles [the fundamental laws and techniques of the Dao, the cosmic principle] would find it difficult to pose a lethal threat to Eldrin Chen.

"Even the core essence is insufficient. I must still find Frost Soul Qi of the Heaven Immortal [a powerful immortal who has transcended the mortal realm] level."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly. Frost Soul Qi at the Heaven Immortal level was overwhelmingly potent; even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon making direct physical contact without defense would risk severe injury or even annihilation.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen's expression turned grave as he pressed forward, seeking power within the Fallen Phoenix Ridge [a legendary mountain range where a phoenix is said to have fallen] that had reached the Heaven Immortal level.

Yet, after an unknowable length of time searching, Eldrin Chen had still not found Frost Soul Qi of Heaven Immortal caliber. A faint weight of disappointment began to settle in his heart.

"Is there no Heaven Immortal-level Frost Soul Qi? Could it have gradually dissipated over the countless eons?"

"Or perhaps," he wondered aloud, "the Heaven Immortal-level Frost Soul Qi and the rare treasures of that tier were long ago harvested by the Ancient Immortals [venerable beings who achieved immortality in ages past] of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [a vast and celestial realm of immortals]?"

Eldrin Chen muttered to himself, his gaze sharpening with renewed focus.

At this moment, he began to understand why, for the last several Calamity Tribulation [cosmic cycles of great cataclysm and renewal], no Heavenly Immortal Paragon had been recorded as perishing within the Fallen Phoenix Ridge.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen's heart sank into a profound stillness.

If he could not complete the Ice Vein Body Tempering [a profound method of refining one's physical form using the essence of glacial veins] here, he would have no choice but to venture into the Myriad Ghosts Frozen Cavern, a place ranked among the top five Forbidden Lands [regions of extreme danger and potent, often chaotic, energies] within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, its peril scarcely less than that of the Myriad Crows Forbidden Zone.
