Chapter 1639 : A Patriarch's Bounty

Hearing that Xander Qing Chen and Caelan Chen wished to remain, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, approving nod.

He offered no further words. His gaze shifted to Xander Chen, and from his sleeve, he withdrew several treasures and tossed them over. "This..."

Xander Chen took them and saw that Eldrin Chen had given him four Jade Box, each containing a different treasure. They were: the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [a pill that aids in comprehending the profound principles of Yin and Yang], the Innate Spiritual Water [a primordial water of immense healing properties], a stack of Ancient Talisman, and a small, ancient mirror.

There were three of the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [pills that aid in comprehending the profound principles of Yin and Yang], sufficient to help Xander Chen cultivate the Taiyi Dao Principle [the Dao Principle of the Supreme Unity] and advance far upon that path. The Innate Spiritual Water [a primordial water of immense healing properties] amounted to roughly three thousand drops—a supreme treasure for healing injuries, enough to treat ten grievous wounds of the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has nearly ascended to the Immortal Realm] level.

There were nine sheets of the Ancient Talisman, all of them Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Heaven-Cleaving Ancient Talisman [ancient talismans of immense power capable of sundering the heavens]. Among them, three were for attack, three for defense, and three for escape. The small, ancient mirror was a one-time-use Talismanic Treasures [a treasure crafted to function like a powerful talisman], also a replica of the Yin-Yang Void Realm.

This treasure was a disposable Talismanic Treasures [a treasure crafted to function like a powerful talisman] that Eldrin Chen had refined using Void Immortal Gold as material, even willingly sacrificing a fraction of the Yin-Yang Void Realm's own power in the process. Once activated, though its might could not match the original Yin-Yang Void Realm, it was still comparable to a Grand Unity Immortal Treasure [an immortal treasure embodying the principle of supreme unity].

However, due to insufficient material quality, this treasure could be activated at most ten times; beyond that, its power would be utterly exhausted and it would be destroyed. "Father."

Holding the treasures in his hands, Xander Chen felt deeply moved and wished to speak.

Eldrin Chen shook his head and said calmly, "Over these years, your father has slain several great enemies at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has nearly ascended to the Immortal Realm] realm. Your mother, Lyra, used their essence to refine quite a number of these Heaven-Cleaving Ancient Talisman [ancient talismans of immense power capable of sundering the heavens]."

"Take them to protect yourself. Remember, your safety is paramount." Continue your cultivation journey at audio-novel*com.

Upon hearing this, Xander Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart. In the end, he nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen then turned his gaze to Xander Dao Chen and said with a smile, "You have taken a master from the Celestial Court, and your Master is a top-tier Heaven Immortal [a supreme immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm]. I imagine you lack no resources."

"However, you walk the Path of Flesh Sanctification [a cultivation art focused on refining the physical body to an indestructible state]. Your father has some insights here that may be of use to you." As he spoke, Eldrin Chen casually tossed over a scroll containing his personal notes.

Xander Dao Chen took it and glanced at its contents. His expression shifted dramatically, revealing a look of profound astonishment.

It turned out the insights Eldrin Chen had given him concerned the cultivation of the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a supreme innate constitution granting an unbreakable body], and even included the cultivation method for the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an ultimate physique forged from the energies of primordial chaos].

Currently, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had been cultivated to the innate Taiyi Realm [the foundational realm of the Taiyi stage]. With physical strength alone, it rivaled a Peerless Celestial Immortal [a peerless immortal of the celestial realm] who possessed a Triple Taiyi Foundation [a foundation consolidated three times within the Taiyi realm]. Such combat prowess could truly be described as rare throughout the ages.

For Xander Dao Chen, these insights could provide immense inspiration, accelerating the day he would fully master his own Taiyi Nine Revolutions Indestructible Physique [an indestructible physique achieved through nine cycles of refinement in the Taiyi realm]. After a brief scan of the notes, Xander Dao Chen could not help but feel a jolt of surprise.

He had originally believed that, with myself backed by Heaven's Halberd Demon-Slaying True Lord and lacking no cultivation resources, myself cultivation should have long since surpassed his father's. Yet, upon seeing these insights, he finally understood that his father's cultivation was as deep and unfathomable as an abyssal sea, truly immeasurable.

Thinking of this, Xander Dao Chen bowed respectfully, his voice filled with joy and gratitude. "Thank you for your guidance, Father."

"Mm."

Eldrin Chen nodded and then said, "Since you have returned, stay for a while before going back." "..."

After receiving the children, Eldrin Chen's days returned to their usual tranquility.

Now, with the Dao Tribulation [the ultimate trial for cultivators to ascend to immortality] imminent, preparations were needed. However, with Thalion Chen, Changqing Chen, and Lior Chen the three of them overseeing the clan's affairs, Eldrin Chen could truly set his mind at ease.

With leisure time on his hands, he once again immersed himself in secluded cultivation.

Having successfully cultivated the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary body constitution of supreme resilience], Eldrin Chen now turned his focus to Comprehending Laws [the profound act of understanding the fundamental principles of reality]. Currently, Eldrin Chen lacked neither the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill [a pill that harmonizes opposing forces to spark profound insight] nor the aid of the Innate Enlightenment Tea [a legendary tea that clears the mind and enhances comprehension]. Thus, his comprehension of the Taiyi Dao Principle [the supreme principle of primordial unity] progressed with astonishing speed. In merely ten thousand years, he successfully comprehended the second Taiyi Dao Principle, which was the Profound Nether True Water Rule [the law governing the essence of deep, abyssal waters]. Eldrin Chen pressed on with relentless effort, spending another thirty thousand years to elevate the Primordial Ancient Metal Dao Principle [the principle of primordial and ancient metal] to the Taiyi Realm [the realm of supreme unity and primordial power].

By this point, among Eldrin Chen's five Taiyi Dao Principle, three had successfully ascended: the Pure Yang Celestial Flame [the divine ability of pure celestial fire], the Profound Nether True Water, and the Primordial Chaos Ancient Metal [the divine ability of primordial chaotic metal]. During this period, Eldrin Chen also took the opportunity to advance both the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to the level of Primordial Immortal Sword [a sword of ancient, immortal origin].

Seizing the momentum, he further refined an Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Azure Lotus, elevating the Flood Water Azure Lotus Platform into a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure of legendary power, said to be capable of cleaving the heavens].

"A pity," he mused, gazing at the swords. "After fusing with the Pure Yang Immortal Metal [a metal imbued with pure yang immortal energy], the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss can advance to become an Ancient Innate Sword [a sword born of innate, ancient power]. However, the material of the Heavenly River Flood Water Sword is slightly inferior, preventing it from reaching that same exalted state."

Holding the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords in his hands, Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a ripple of complex emotion shimmering in his eyes.

Innate Qi [the primordial, innate energy of creation] is immensely powerful, requiring divine materials of the Ninth Rank Immortal Treasures [treasures of the ninth rank, the pinnacle for immortals] grade to serve as its vessel. Yet, Ninth Rank Taiyi Immortal Treasure [supreme unity immortal treasures] are exceedingly rare to begin with, and those of the water and fire attributes are particularly sought after. For the moment, Eldrin Chen had not managed to gather what he needed.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen concluded his period of secluded cultivation.

The difficulty of comprehending a fourth Dao Principles was vastly greater than the first three. In recent years, to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, Eldrin Chen had already expended a great deal of time.

Now, with only thirty thousand years remaining until the Dao Tribulation, it was impossible to comprehend a fourth Taiyi Dao Principle before the calamity arrived. Seeing this, Eldrin Chen emerged from his Seclusion Chamber.

After leaving seclusion, he found that Lyra Jiang and the others were still in closed-door cultivation, contemplating Divine Ability and Dao Principles, so he did not disturb them. He proceeded to the core of the Pure Yang Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, to a Spirit Medicine Garden.

Unbeknownst to him, nearly two hundred thousand years had passed since Eldrin Chen began managing the affairs within the Five Elements Microcosm.

Over these two hundred millennia, Eldrin Chen had transplanted the majority of the clan's high-grade Immortal Herbs and other rare treasures to this place. Within the Pure Yang Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, the Chen Immortal Clan had further established a vast Immortal Herb Garden. Read, share, and discuss at audio-novel.com.

This Immortal Herb Garden spanned ten thousand Mu-area [one Mu-area equals six hundred sixty-six point six seven square meters], its grounds layered with thick Immortal Soil [soil imbued with immortal-grade spiritual essence]. The concentration of Immortal Spirit Qi [immortal-grade spiritual energy] and divine substances here far surpassed that of the Spirit Medicine Garden at Verdant Chariot Mountain, and the Immortal Herbs cultivated were increasingly astonishing.

Eldrin Chen had planted five thousand Mu-area of Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot, four thousand Mu-area of Immortal Herbs of varying grades, and another one thousand Mu-area of diverse Acquired Spiritual Root [spiritual roots formed through acquired means, possessing wondrous properties]. Under Eldrin Chen's meticulous care, the vast majority of those five thousand Mu-area of Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot had advanced to become Top Grade Immortal Treasure.

This resource could aid cultivators at the Mid Ascendant Immortal Realm in breaking through to the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm. Within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, there was never a shortage of demand for it. Over the years, it had unwittingly become the single greatest source of wealth for the Chen Clan.

As Eldrin Chen knew, the profits from these seventh-rank Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot already accounted for three-tenths of the Chen Clan's annual revenue. Furthermore, among these five thousand Mu-area of Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot, there were over one thousand stalks of Eighth Rank Jade-Accompanying Golden Bamboo.

The Eighth Rank Jade-Accompanying Golden Bamboo is a Heaven-Opening Marvel [a rare and wondrous object of profound spiritual nature]. While it cannot be used for alchemical purposes, it is a superior-grade treasure for forging Primordial Immortal Sword [legendary swords of immense power and antiquity].

Most crucially, after the Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo is harvested, if its root system remains undamaged and it is nourished with precious spiritual waters, then after ten thousand years it can once again take root, sprout, and grow new golden shoots.
