Chapter 1528 : A Divine Bargain for Immortality

Understanding the thoughts of Blazeflame Divine Spirit [the divine spirit embodying the essence of the departing sun's flame], Eldrin Chen gave a slight, thoughtful nod.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke. "The passage to reach the Small Universe [a self-contained, miniature cosmos] was opened at no small cost to us."

"If you wish to use this passage, Fellow Daoist, you must also pay a certain price."

"I understand this naturally,"

Blazeflame Divine Spirit replied with a nod of her own. "If you are willing to lead me out, Fellow Daoist, then I shall gift you this Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone [a legendary stone containing the primordial magnetic essence of the cosmos, capable of attracting and refining starlight]."

As she spoke, she produced the Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone.

Eldrin Chen glanced at the stone, and his heart gave a faint tremor of surprise.

Although he had anticipated that Blazeflame Divine Spirit would be willing to pay a steep price, he had not expected her to part with such a supreme-grade World-Opening Celestial Immortal Artifact [a treasure of the highest order, forged by a Celestial Immortal with the power to cleave and shape nascent worlds].

Yet, in the next instant, comprehension dawned upon Eldrin Chen.

For an existence like Blazeflame Divine Spirit, nothing held greater importance than breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [the threshold realm just before attaining full Celestial Immortality]. Find thousands of chapters at site: audio-novel.com.

As long as she could avoid the Tribulation and achieve a breakthrough into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm in one fell swoop, her combat power would then be comparable to that of a top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortal who possessed a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation.

Although a single World-Opening Marvel was precious, compared to the Blazeflame Divine Spirit at that time, it could not be considered exceptionally valuable.

Most importantly, she lacked a backer of Celestial Immortal rank. Even if she left with this Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone, it was likely the treasure would not end up in her hands in the end.

Trading this object for the opportunity to break through to Half-Step Celestial Immortal could be said to be an extremely worthwhile bargain.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen nodded and said, "This object is of great use to me. Since the Divine Lord is willing to entrust it to me, I can personally guard your cultivation breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, the Blazeflame Divine Spirit smiled faintly and replied, "Then I offer my thanks."

Having settled this matter, the two immediately set off for the Netherworld Small Universe.

Within the Netherworld Small Universe, he informed Ancient Ruins, Heaven Abyss, and the Glazed Divine Lord and others about the matter concerning the Blazeflame Divine Spirit.

After listening, they naturally had no major objections. After all, seizing this chance to win over the Blazeflame Divine Spirit would strengthen their own forces, which was a beneficial development for them as well.

Having obtained everyone's consent, Eldrin Chen escorted the Blazeflame Divine Spirit back inside the Flowing Fire Blessed Land.

Within this Small Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension], Blazeflame Divine Spirit reaped immense rewards, her spiritual power [the foundational energy cultivated by immortals] having accumulated to its peak. Upon returning to the Flowing Fire Blessed Land, she immediately began her breakthrough into the Primordial Unity Realm [the foundational realm where an immortal consolidates their first core principle of existence].

Eldrin Chen remained within the Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual energy, superior to a Spirit Vein] to guard Blazeflame Divine Spirit during her secluded cultivation, quietly awaiting the day she would emerge from seclusion.

This Blazeflame Divine Spirit had opened the Ninefold Heaven [the highest potential foundation for an immortal, representing nine layers of spiritual ascension]. Even without external aids, the chance of failure while condensing her first Primordial Unity Foundation [the core principle that forms the basis of an immortal's power] was virtually nonexistent.

As she commenced her assault on the bottleneck, the power of the Fire Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy] within the Flowing Fire Blessed Land surged towards her in a torrent. Merely three centuries later, Blazeflame Divine Spirit succeeded in her breakthrough, having cultivated her first Primordial Unity Foundation.

"It is the Primordial Unity Path Principle [the foundational law of the Blazeflame]."

Following Blazeflame Divine Spirit's breakthrough, Eldrin Chen distinctly sensed the coalescence of a formidable Primordial Unity Path Principle.

That supremely powerful Southern Heaven's Blazeflame [her innate divine flame] underwent a startling metamorphosis, seeming to be but a single step away from evolving into the Southern Brightness Solar Fire [a legendary celestial flame of ultimate purity].

"*Hummm—*"

Within the Great Hall where Blazeflame Divine Spirit had been in secluded cultivation, a grand door slowly began to open.

The Blazeflame Divine Spirit stepped forth gracefully, then smiled at Eldrin Chen and said, "My gratitude, Fellow Daoist, for guarding my cultivation. Blazeflame is eternally in your debt."

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on finally achieving the Primordial Unity Foundation [a profound foundational cultivation art that unifies one's spiritual essence]."

Eldrin Chen shook his head, then smiled faintly. "At present, the powerful figures of the Six Heavenly Domains of the Western Pole have their gazes fixed upon the events within the Small Universe [a pocket dimension or self-contained realm]. They pay little heed to the Flowing Fire Blessed Land."

"With no one coming to obstruct your path, my role as a guardian merits little credit."

Having said this, Eldrin Chen spoke no more on the matter.

The Blazeflame Divine Spirit had just broken through to the Primordial Unity Realm [a high-level cultivation stage where one's spiritual essence achieves perfect harmony]. This was the optimal time to consolidate her cultivation base, refine her Lifebound Immortal Treasure [a magical artifact intimately connected to a cultivator's life force and soul], and enhance her combat capabilities.

After a brief exchange with Eldrin Chen, she once again entered seclusion to continue her cultivation. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel-dot-com.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen also entered the depths of the Blessed Land [a land blessed with abundant spiritual energy]. He began to utilize the power of the Fire Vein [an underground ley line of concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy] within the Blessed Land to refine the Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone.

The purpose of refining this Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone was for Eldrin Chen to enhance his Polarity Void Mirror.

This Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone simultaneously contained the attributes of space, Polarity [the fundamental duality of yin and yang, light and dark], primordial metallic magnetism, Stellar [pertaining to the power of stars and constellations], and several others. It was an exceedingly rare multi-attribute treasure, making its refinement an immensely complex and troublesome process.

Even with the aid of the Underground Fire Vein, Eldrin Chen spent one thousand eight hundred years to fully refine it.

After completing this step, Eldrin Chen integrated it into the Polarity Void Mirror, continuously enhancing the mirror's material foundation and latent power. Unnoticed, it slowly coalesced into its final form.

Just as the mirror's material underwent a qualitative transformation, Eldrin Chen slowly exhaled a wisp of Acquired Primordial Chaos Source Essence [a foundational energy embodying the state before creation].

That Primordial Chaos Source Essence intertwined with the Primordial Unity Path Patterns [the fundamental, archetypal runes of cosmic law] within the mirror, ultimately forming three profoundly mysterious Primordial Unity Path Patterns.

Yet, having reached this stage, Eldrin Chen sensed that the Polarity Void Mirror still held untapped potential. Thus, he exhaled another breath of Primordial Chaos Source Essence.

The Primordial Chaos Source Essence once again wove itself with the path patterns within the ancient mirror, giving birth to the power of a fourth, equally archaic and profound rune.

These four Primordial Unity Path Patterns respectively represented the powers of space, Polarity [the fundamental duality of yin and yang], primordial magnetism, and Stellar [the essence of stars and celestial bodies].

"A Four-Rune World-Opening Supreme Treasure?"

Upon the successful forging of the Polarity Void Mirror, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a flicker of surprise.

The simultaneous emergence of four distinct Primordial Unity Path Patterns within the ancient mirror, yet their failure to merge into a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [a treasure of the highest order, forged from unified cosmic laws], had already exceeded Eldrin Chen's expectations.

With a moment's focused perception, he understood. Polarity, void, and primordial magnetism were interconnected, forming the original, intrinsic foundation of the Polarity Void Mirror.

As for the Stellar [relating to the stars and celestial bodies] Path Patterns, they originated from within the Universe Polarity Primordial Magnetism Starlight Stone. It contained a wisp of the profound mystery of Stellar Primordial Essence [the foundational star energy of a nascent cosmos] from a Small Universe.

Originally, it should have been impossible for them to form. It was only because the Primordial Chaos Source Essence [the foundational energy of primordial chaos] within Eldrin Chen was far too profound and mysterious that they unexpectedly coalesced and took shape.

"Although born of an accident, it has greatly enhanced the Polarity Void Mirror," he mused.

"The profundity of this Primordial Chaos Essence [essence of primordial chaos] truly lives up to its name as a supreme treasure beyond compare."

Sensing the profound mysteries within the Polarity Void Mirror, Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips.

With the empowerment of this Stellar Primordial Unity Path Patterns [mystical patterns embodying the fundamental unity of creation], the might of the Polarity Void Mirror had subtly increased by half again, its power receiving a tremendous boost.

Generally speaking, the power of a Three-Rune World-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure inscribed with three primal runes, used to stabilize a nascent world] was roughly half that of a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [an immortal weapon forged at the Primordial Unity realm].

Eldrin Chen had used Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade aura born from primordial chaos] to advance his treasure into a Four-Rune World-Opening Supreme Treasure. While its power still could not match a true Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon, it now possessed over seventy percent of such a weapon's might. This was already considered exceedingly Extraordinary.

"As it stands now, the Polarity Void Mirror is potent enough to counter the vast majority of World-Opening Supreme Treasure [treasures used in the creation of new worlds]," he concluded.

Having grasped the enhanced power of the Polarity Void Mirror, Eldrin Chen spent a moment longer sensing its intricate and profound mysteries.

He discovered that the current Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical artifact capable of manipulating space and polarity] could now instantly transport him to any location within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas [a vast and treacherous region of interconnected seas and waterways]. Furthermore, its wondrous utility for suppressing spatial fluctuations had also undergone a tremendous enhancement. Published by audio—novel.com. All rights reserved.
