Chapter 1641 : Ascending the Immortal Lotus

"The Lotus Platform [a sacred platform for meditation and cultivation] is connected to Mana [the spiritual energy used by cultivators], and the two types of Lotus Seed [seeds from a mystical lotus plant] are also supreme treasures for Mysterious Profound [a profound and mysterious divine ability]. It is time to advance them."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. He immediately consumed two strands of Acquired Primordial Origin Qi [a refined, post-natal form of the universe's foundational energy] and expended several thousand drops of Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with innate spiritual essence], elevating both the Dao Heart Purple Lotus [a mystical lotus that aids in comprehending the Dao] and the Purity White Lotus [a lotus symbolizing spiritual purity] to the realm of the Taiyi Immortal Lotus [an immortal-grade lotus of supreme unity].

To progress further from this point would require the consumption of the exceedingly precious Innate Qi [the primordial, innate energy of the universe].

Over the years, Eldrin Chen had obtained a total of seven strands of Innate Qi, acquired from Annihilation Daoist and Jiang Daoxu.

To cultivate the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary constitution of innate, primordial, and unbreakable nature], Eldrin Chen had consumed three of those strands. The remaining four were insufficient. Eldrin calculated: for the family's Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] to condense a Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme threefold foundation of unity], those four Taiyi Immortal Fruit [immortal fruits of supreme unity] would undoubtedly need to be advanced into Innate Taiyi Fruit [innate fruits of supreme unity]. That alone would require four additional strands.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of divinely forged swords] were Eldrin Chen's life-bound weapons of slaughter. Should any surplus Innate Qi become available, advancing them would be the first priority. Adding the needs of the Dao Heart Purple Lotus and the Purity White Lotus, Eldrin currently faced a deficit of at least four more strands of Innate Qi.

At this thought, a slight frown creased Eldrin Chen's brow. "Perhaps... I should venture into the Primordial Chaos [the boundless, formless expanse that existed before creation]?"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then turned his gaze beyond the boundaries of the Five Elements Microcosm [a miniature world governed by the five elemental forces].

Since achieving the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique, Eldrin Chen had felt confident enough to brave the Primordial Chaos within the scope of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective realm of three thousand immortal worlds].

Yet, he had not yet found the opportunity to step into its depths. Now, with thirty thousand years remaining until the Dao Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of one's cultivation path], it seemed the perfect time to explore the Primordial Chaos. With this resolve, Eldrin Chen arrived at the edge of the Five Elements Microcosm and communicated with the Heavenly Dao Will [the conscious will of the Heavenly Dao, the supreme law of the universe]: "Can an entrance be opened, that I may probe the Primordial Chaos?" Support the author by reading on audio-novel dot com.

The Heavenly Dao Will [the conscious will of the cosmic order] slowly settled, replying calmly, "The Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] is boundless and infinite. The Chaos Currents [the turbulent, unpredictable flows of raw chaos] are utterly chaotic and inscrutable. Even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal who has ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm] stepping into it would likely become lost."

"You have not yet set foot in the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of Heavenly Immortals]. Are you truly resolved to enter?"

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before responding, "I shall merely investigate the periphery of this Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller cosmos]. I will not venture far from its edge. Should any unforeseen event occur, I will return immediately."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao [the embodiment of the cosmic Dao, or Way, governing this universe] of the Minor Universe offered no further counsel.

In utter silence, it parted a minuscule Void Rift [a tear in the fabric of space].

The moment this Void Rift opened, an overwhelmingly potent surge of Chaos Qi [the raw, primordial energy of chaos] flooded inward.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen reacted with lightning speed, sealing the breach in the Universe Membrane [the boundary separating a cosmos from the outer chaos] instantly before swiftly exiting the Five Elements Microcosm [a miniature world governed by the five elemental forces]. *BOOM*

Upon stepping beyond the Minor Universe, Eldrin Chen was immediately assailed by a torrent of supremely chaotic and domineering currents. This chaotic flow was devastatingly potent; every wisp and strand possessed the power to annihilate worlds.

"Such formidable Chaos Qi,"

Eldrin Chen murmured, a grave intensity settling within his gaze.

He could keenly sense just how terrifying the power of the Chaos Qi [the primordial, undifferentiated energy that existed before creation] truly was.

By his estimation, even an Ancient Ancestor at the Earth Immortal Realm [a realm of cultivation where one becomes an immortal tied to the mortal world] would likely be unable to withstand more than a few breaths in this place before being utterly annihilated. Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary, heaven-defying constitution born from chaos] was astonishingly formidable, containing the higher-order Chaos Origin [the fundamental source power of chaos]. Thus, even under the constant erosion of this boundless Chaotic Torrent [a violent flow of primordial chaos energy], it did not inflict the slightest harm upon him.

Even more astonishingly, his Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique was still actively at work, continuously absorbing the Chaos Qi to strengthen his Chaos Origin Power [a divine ability derived from the power of primordial chaos]. "It seems there is no great danger," he mused.

After testing the waters briefly, Eldrin Chen found that the Chaos Qi posed no pressure to him, and his heart settled slightly. He glanced back at the vast, boundless Minor Universe [a self-contained cosmos of smaller scale], then strode forth into the depths of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the universe's creation].

After flying for only a short while, Eldrin Chen surveyed his surroundings once more and discovered that within the immense Primordial Chaos, three thousand ancient landmasses seemed to drift and float faintly. "These appear to be the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the three thousand major immortal realms]. It seems this Five Elements Microcosm [a miniature world structured around the five elemental forces] is still within the bounds of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains," he concluded.

Eldrin Chen felt a measure of reassurance. The Three Thousand Immortal Domains, having been managed and settled over countless eons, were far less perilous than the deep, untamed reaches of the Sea of Chaos [the endless expanse of primordial chaos].

Within this stretch of Primordial Chaos, the most precious treasures, such as Innate Spiritual Treasure [treasures born from the chaos itself at the dawn of creation], had long been scoured clean over the course of the Immeasurable Kalpa [an incalculably vast cosmic cycle of creation and destruction]. Consequently, beings at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm] rarely appeared here.

Furthermore, Chaos Demon God [powerful demons born from primordial chaos] of the Celestial God [a powerful deity-level realm] and Sage level generally did not venture into the Three Thousand Immortal Domains.

Therefore, this region of Primordial Chaos where the Three Thousand Immortal Cities [the celestial cities of the three thousand domains] were located was somewhat poorer in treasures, yet also significantly safer. Of course, this scarcity was only relative to the perspective of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

One must understand that within this stretch of Primordial Chaos encompassing the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, countless Cosmos [universes or world-systems] were being born at every moment, and just as many worlds were meeting their destruction.

The boundless Chaos Qi [the primordial, undifferentiated energy that existed before creation] gives birth to all things, naturally capable of nurturing many rare and peerless treasures.

After walking for a short while, Eldrin Chen discovered a rare and peculiar treasure—an exceptionally unique Chaos Stone Material [a primordial ore forged and tempered within the Chaos].

It contained no nascent Dao Patterns [the fundamental laws and principles of reality, often manifesting as patterns or runes], yet, after being endlessly tempered by the Chaos Qi, it had become indestructible. In terms of sheer material strength, it surpassed even Supreme Immortal Gold [a legendary metal of unparalleled hardness used by immortals].

"The Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the universe's creation] truly is a land where treasures litter the ground," he mused.

After storing the treasure, Eldrin Chen scoured the perimeter of the Minor Universe [a small, nascent cosmos or pocket dimension] and ultimately found a total of four extraordinary materials of remarkable quality. These treasures were indestructible. Though they lacked the power of Dao Patterns, they were exceptional materials for forging a Life-Bound Magical Treasure [a magical artifact bound to a cultivator's life force, growing in power with them].

Once he had finished searching the area around the Minor Universe, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the depths of the Primordial Chaos and fell into contemplation. "Treasures are indeed abundant within the Primordial Chaos. If I venture deeper, could I find even rarer treasures?" This chapter is provided by (audio-novel.com). Support the original.

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, the thought of delving into the Primordial Chaos to seek treasures taking root in his mind.

Yet, after a moment's silent deliberation, he suppressed the impulse and abandoned the idea.

While the Primordial Chaos held many treasures, the truly precious ones—such as the astonishingly valuable Innate Marvels [treasures born from the Chaos itself, embodying primordial laws]—were most likely guarded personally by Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts native to the Chaos, possessing immense power].

Eldrin Chen's current combat prowess was only comparable to an Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm]. If he encountered an Innate Realm [a cultivation realm representing beings born from the Chaos, often immensely powerful] Chaos Ancient Beast within the Primordial Chaos, subduing it would be no easy task.

With the Dao Tribulation [a heavenly trial testing one's cultivation and comprehension of the Dao] imminent, Eldrin Chen had no intention of courting unnecessary trouble.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen prepared to return to the Five Elements Microcosm [a pocket dimension stabilized by the five fundamental elements].

Yet, at that very moment, Eldrin Chen suddenly perceived a figure within the Boundless Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse before creation] vast enough to blot out the heavens, advancing slowly but inexorably.

It was a figure the color of Xuanhuang [primordial yellow and black, representing the fundamental forces of heaven and earth], as immense as a Primordial Giant Whale [an ancient leviathan born from chaos]. Its wings eclipsed the sky, and with each beat, it stirred endless Chaos Currents [turbulent flows of primal, unformed energy], their shockwaves rippling across billions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of Void [empty space] within the Grand Universe [the vast cosmos].

What made Eldrin Chen frown was its trajectory—it was heading directly for the Five Elements Microcosm. "An Innate Ancient Chaos Beast [a primordial creature born directly from the Chaos, possessing immense power]," he murmured.

After a moment's silent contemplation, Eldrin Chen swiftly retreated back into the heart of the Five Elements Microcosm.

And at that precise instant, the Primordial Giant Whale collided with the Five Elements Microcosm, unleashing a world-shattering impact that echoed through the firmament. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio-novel dot com.
