Chapter 1647 : Twin Lotuses of Primal Ascension

The Heavenly Dao Will [the sentient will of the Heavenly Dao, the cosmic order] sensed the eruption of immense Innate Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation]. It immediately focused a portion of its consciousness, its tone a mixture of astonishment and delight as it inquired, "You have advanced two more Innate Marvels [objects of miraculous power born from the primal chaos]? This is likely to disturb the Ancient Beast [primordial beasts of immense age and power] within the Depths of Chaos [the unfathomable, primordial void beyond ordered reality]."

Eldrin Chen remained composed, his expression grave and steady. "That Chaos Leviathan [a titanic beast born from the primal chaos] has already been slain by me. For a short time, at least, no Chaos Ancient Beast [ancient beasts from the primal chaos] should come to attack," he stated. "Furthermore, immediately after my advancement, I will harvest the two Treasure Lotus [lotus plants of immense spiritual value]. I do not intend to linger here for long."

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Will said no more.

With the aid of the Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with the purest primal spiritual essence], the advancement of the Innate Treasure Lotus [a lotus plant born from primal chaos, a treasure of heaven and earth] proceeded with astonishing speed. In merely seven days, their transformation was complete.

After their advancement, the Dao Heart Purple Lotus [the Purple Lotus of the Dao Heart] had transformed into a Nine-Petaled Purple Lotus, while the Purity White Lotus [the White Lotus of Purity] had become a Nine-Petaled White Lotus. Their Deep-Seated Foundation [the fundamental, root-level foundation of a cultivator's power] had undergone an ultimate, transcendent metamorphosis. "The Innate Enlightenment Purple Lotus [the Primal Purple Lotus of Enlightenment]," Eldrin Chen murmured.

"And the Innate World-Cleansing White Lotus [the Primal White Lotus of World-Cleansing]."

Gazing upon the two nine-petaled ancient lotuses before him, Eldrin Chen could not help but whisper softly, a ripple of profound emotion stirring within the depths of his eyes.

Legend spoke of the dawn of the Primal Immortal Domain [the original, primordial realm of immortals], when six Innate Ancient Lotuses [lotus plants born at the beginning of creation] were nurtured into being. They were: the Creation Azure Lotus [the Azure Lotus of Creation], the World-Ending Black Lotus [the Black Lotus of World's End], the Enlightenment Purple Lotus [the Purple Lotus of Enlightenment], the World-Cleansing White Lotus [the White Lotus of World-Cleansing], the Karmic Flame Red Lotus [the Red Lotus of Karmic Flame], and finally, the Merit Golden Lotus [the Golden Lotus of Merit].

The Enlightenment Purple Lotus and World-Cleansing White Lotus before him now were two of those six primal lotuses, each containing a strand of Supreme [the highest, most profound level of] Great Dao [the fundamental laws and principles of the cosmos]. Such primal lotuses were further graded into nine-petaled, twelve-petaled, and twenty-four-petaled tiers.

Among them, a nine-petaled ancient lotus was of Innate Treasure [a treasure born from primal chaos] grade, while a twelve-petaled ancient lotus reached the level of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of even greater power, also born from primal chaos]. The story continues at audio–novel.com.

The Twenty-Four Petal Innate Supreme Treasure Ancient Lotus is even more extraordinary. It is said its grade is at the Innate Supreme Treasure level, a treasure even Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage regard with considerable importance. Legend speaks of a Thirty-Six Petal Chaos Ancient Lotus existing above the twenty-four-petal one.

However, thirty-six-petal ancient lotuses are all Supreme treasures of the Chaos Spiritual Root grade. Within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, there is said to be only one such flower—the companion treasure of the Primordial Beginning Divine Sovereign, the 'Primordial Beginning Immortal Lotus'.

It is said that the Primordial Beginning Immortal Lotus is a Five-Colored Immortal Lotus possessing the power to differentiate Primordial Chaos, far surpassing the six types of innate ancient lotuses. Yet, as a Chaos Spiritual Root, the Primordial Beginning Immortal Lotus transcends the innate category and thus is not counted among the Six Innate Lotuses.

"Innate Ancient Lotuses."

Witnessing the two Treasure Lotus advance, Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort were alerted once more.

They arrived joyfully before Eldrin Chen, their gazes falling upon the two nine-petal innate ancient lotuses, ripples of emotion stirring in their eyes. "Indeed, innate ancient lotuses."

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, then with a flick of his sleeve, he drew the two Innate Treasure Lotus towards him.

In that fleeting moment, the two ancient lotuses danced gently in the air. Their leaves, Lotus Seed [the seeds of the lotus plant, often used in alchemy], Lotus Platform [the flat, disc-like base of the lotus flower, often used as a meditation seat or treasure core], and Lotus Root [the edible rhizome of the lotus plant, valued for its spiritual properties] all separated and fell away in sequence.

Eldrin Chen stored away the Lotus Platform from the Enlightenment Immortal Lotus. He then handed the Lotus Platform from the World-Cleansing White Lotus to Lyra Jiang, a faint smile gracing his lips. "With these two treasures, our Life-Bound Lotus Throne [a magical throne forged from a cultivator's life-bound lotus, growing in power with its owner] may perhaps advance to the Innate Treasure grade."

"Indeed."

Lyra Jiang [the Immortal Maiden Lyra Jiang] stowed away the World-Cleansing White Lotus [a primordial lotus of immense purity], a glimmer of a smile finally touching the corners of her eyes.

Although her Primordial Lotus Throne [her foundational lotus-shaped magical treasure] had already fused with the Taiyi Immortal Treasure [the Grand Unity Immortal Artifact] and the Merit Golden Lotus [the Lotus of Karmic Merit], transforming into a Grand Unity Immortal Treasure [a supreme-grade immortal artifact], and required only the infusion of Innate Qi [Primordial First Energy, the foundational energy of creation] to ascend to the rank of an Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the Primordial Chaos].

From a long-term perspective, however, refining and absorbing this World-Cleansing White Lotus held far greater potential.

Having divided the most precious Lotus Platform [the foundational lotus platform], the two of them turned their gazes, still brimming with delight, towards the remaining treasures. This Lotus Platform was an Innate Marvels [a wonder born from Primordial Chaos], and the other several artifacts were likewise extraordinary items.

The Lotus Leaf [lotus leaf] of the Innate World-Cleansing White Lotus [the Primordial World-Cleansing White Lotus] had transformed into a pristine white gown, an Innate Marvels known as the "World-Cleansing Immortal Gown" [an immortal gown woven from the essence of the World-Cleansing Lotus]. The Lotus Leaf of the Innate Enlightenment Purple Lotus [the Primordial Enlightenment Purple Lotus] had transformed into a violet robe for Nyssa [the Immortal Maiden Nyssa], an Innate Marvels called the "Purple Jade Immortal Robe" [an immortal robe of violet jade essence].

Perhaps due to a lack of sufficient Innate Qi, the Innate Qi contained within these two Immortal Robe [immortal robes] was exceedingly sparse [thin and weak], far inferior to that within the Lotus Platform, and had not reached the standard of a Low Grade Innate Treasure [a low-grade Primordial Treasure].

Yet, even this mere wisp of sparse Innate Qi rendered their value far surpassing that of ordinary Taiyi Immortal Weapon [Grand Unity Immortal Weapons].

Eldrin Chen [Eldrin Chen] pondered for a moment, then handed the World-Cleansing Immortal Robe to Lila [Lila] and the Purple Jade Immortal Robe to Yvonne the Violet Consort [Yvonne, the Violet Consort], saying with a gentle smile, "These two Immortal Robe are for you."

Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort hurriedly donned the exquisitely beautiful immortal gowns, their faces alight with joy and wonder.

These gowns were not only possessed of extraordinary defensive capabilities but were also breathtakingly beautiful and elegant. It was likely that even female immortals of the Heaven Immortal Realm [the Heaven Immortal Realm] would spare no expense to acquire such treasures.

These two Innate Marvels [naturally formed spiritual wonders] could not compare to an Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primal chaos of creation], their defensive capabilities roughly on par with a Mid-Grade Great Unity Immortal Treasure [a mid-tier immortal treasure of the Great Unity realm]. Yet, each possessed unique and marvelous properties. The Purple Jade Immortal Robe [a robe woven from immortal-grade purple jade] was attuned to the Great Dao [the fundamental principle governing all existence]; wearing it made comprehending the Great Dao significantly easier.

The World-Cleansing Immortal Gown [an immortal gown of ultimate purity] was of supreme purity and cleanliness, offering formidable resistance against all manner of heterodox energies and curses. Once donned, the wearer would be impervious to curse-based Divine Ability [supernatural powers] and foreign energies below the Innate [primal, born-of-chaos] level, and would even possess strong resistance against Innate curses themselves.

After handing the Immortal Robe [immortal-grade robes] to the two women, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the Lotus Root [the rootstalk of the spiritual lotus].

Like the Lotus Leaf [lotus leaves], the Innate Spiritual Radiance [primal spiritual light] contained within these two Lotus Root was inferior to that of an Innate Treasure, yet they remained exceedingly rare Innate Marvels. Eldrin Chen surmised that refining such treasures could vastly enhance the latent potential of an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality]'s physical body.

After a moment of contemplation, he handed the two Lotus Root to Verdant Consort and Nyssa Qu respectively. "Your physical constitutions are extraordinary," he said. "Refining these should grant significant advancement to your Immortal Physique [immortal-grade physical body]."

Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu immediately accepted the Lotus Root from the Enlightenment Purple Lotus [a purple lotus that aids in enlightenment]. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel-dot-com.

Her Nine-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam demon beast with nine-colored aura] bloodline was remarkable, but it had been cultivated in the mortal realm; its Primordial Source [the foundational, origin-level essence] ultimately fell half a step short. Refining this Innate Lotus Root would undoubtedly lead to a substantial increase in her power.

Verdant Consort, however, did not take the Lotus Root from the World-Cleansing White Lotus [a white lotus of ultimate purity]. She shook her head. "This object's nature conflicts with my own Primordial Source. Let us wait until the Creation Azure Lotus [an azure lotus associated with creation] successfully advances." Hearing this, Eldrin Chen said nothing more.

He gave the World-Cleansing White Lotus root to Lyra Jiang. Her Second Nascent Soul [a secondary soul core cultivated through a profound technique] was currently at the Earth Immortal Nine Layers [the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal realm]. With the aid of this World-Cleansing White Lotus root, it would likely soon cultivate a Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [a physique of the Supreme Unity immortal realm].

Having distributed the Lotus Platform [the platform-like base of the lotus], Lotus Leaf, and Lotus Root, the most precious remaining items were the Lotus Seed [lotus seeds].

Within the two Innate Ancient Lotuses [primordial spiritual plants of extraordinary origin], the Lotus Seed [the potent spiritual seeds borne by such lotuses] each numbered nine, comprising the Innate Enlightenment Lotus Seed [a seed that grants profound spiritual insight] and the Innate World-Cleansing Lotus Seed [a seed with supreme healing and purifying properties].

The World-Cleansing Lotus Seed was a supreme treasure for healing wounds, so Eldrin Chen naturally had no hesitation; he stored it away before turning his gaze to the Innate Enlightenment Lotus Seed.

The value of this Innate Enlightenment Lotus Seed was extraordinary. Even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm] consuming one would fall into a profound state of Sudden Enlightenment [a rare, deep meditative trance that unlocks profound comprehension]. However, precisely because its effects were so heaven-defying, any cultivator could only consume a single seed in their lifetime.

Eldrin Chen knew well that if myself consumed one Innate Enlightenment Lotus Seed, he would immediately enter a deep Sudden Enlightenment. Comprehending and mastering a fourth Supreme Unity Dao Principle Power [a fundamental power derived from the Dao of Supreme Unity] would undoubtedly be within reach.

Yet, the more profound a Rule [a fundamental law of existence] or Great Dao [the supreme, all-encompassing Way], the more arduous its comprehension. Cultivating the final Rule Power [power derived from a fundamental law] required for the Taiyi Primordial Limitless Dao Principle [the Dao Principle of Primordial Limitlessness under the Supreme Unity] presented a difficulty that surpassed the sum of the previous four.

Therefore, even with Eldrin Chen's confidence, he held no certainty that relying on this seed alone would allow him to comprehend both the fourth and fifth Dao Principles [fundamental principles of the Dao] in one fell swoop. The complete novel can be found at audi novel.com.
