Chapter 1548 : Treasures of Unity and Legacy

These seven Primordial Unity Rare Treasure [a supreme category of spiritual treasures embodying the fundamental unity of creation] were respectively the Primordial Unity Sunder Heaven Hammer, the Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a legendary fruit said to grant a taste of immortality], the Primordial Unity Adamantine War Halberd, the Fragment of Chronos [a shard containing the essence of time itself], the Ancient Firmament Gold, the Human Sovereign's Sword, and a mass of 'Southern Brightness Solar Fire' [a divine flame of the southern heavens].

Among these seven Primordial Unity Rare Treasure, the Primordial Unity Sunder Heaven Hammer and the Human Sovereign's Sword had been bestowed upon Eldrin Chen by the Human Sovereign [the legendary ruler of humankind]. The remainder had been seized by Eldrin Chen through the power of the Polarity Void Mirror.

Now, gazing upon these seven treasures before him, he turned his eyes to the several Half-Step Celestial Immortal [cultivators on the very threshold of ascending to true celestial immortality] and declared, "Of these seven Primordial Unity Rare Treasure, the Human Sovereign's Sword is the symbol of the Human Sovereign, a legacy specifically left for me by the Heaven Sorrow Human Sovereign."

"Apart from this artifact, you may each choose one from among the remaining Primordial Unity Rare Treasure."

Upon hearing his words, the others could not help but feel a flicker of astonishment in their hearts.

The Glazed Divine Lord shook his head and spoke immediately, "These treasures were all won by your hand. How could we presume to claim a share?"

"Think nothing of it."

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile and continued, "In this battle, each of you expended immense Force Extreme [the ultimate exertion of one's cultivation power]. I have obtained the Innate Rare Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth, not crafted by mortal hands]; it is only fitting that you receive a portion of these other prizes."

Understanding that Eldrin Chen had taken the lion's share and was now offering them compensation, they nodded slightly and turned their gazes upon the remaining treasures.

Excluding the Human Sovereign's Sword, the remaining Primordial Unity Rare Treasure were each of immeasurable value. Among them, the Primordial Unity Adamantine War Halberd and the Primordial Unity Sunder Heaven Hammer were both supreme weapons of war, their worth beyond question.

The Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a legendary fruit said to grant the power of primordial unity] was also present. Among the treasures, the first they laid eyes upon were the 'Fragment of Chronos' [a sliver of solidified time], the 'Ancient Firmament Gold' [a primordial metal born from the collapse of heavens], and the 'Southern Brightness Solar Fire' [the supreme solar flame of the southern heavens].

Among these three treasures, the Fragment of Chronos [a sliver of solidified time] possessed an extraordinary origin.

As the saying goes: the four directions and six dimensions constitute Space, while the passage from antiquity to the present constitutes Time. The so-called Fragment of Chronos [a sliver of solidified time] is also known as a Shard of Time.

This particular Fragment of Chronos [a sliver of solidified time] was formed before the Universe's [the cosmos] destruction, woven from a minuscule shard of time within the Universe's [the cosmos] temporal Long River [the River of Time] and the fundamental power of the Universe's [the cosmos] origin.

This treasure contained the profound mysteries of time, making it one of the most arcane Primordial Unity Rare Treasure [a treasure of the Primordial Unity realm], its value truly inestimable.

The Ancient Firmament Gold [a primordial metal born from the collapse of heavens] was a spatial marvel of the Primordial Unity Realm [the realm of primordial unity]. It could be forged into a Primordial Unity Treasure [a treasure of the Primordial Unity realm] with Spatial Attribute [spatial properties], a treasure that would stir the hearts of even Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful Celestial Immortals].

The Southern Brightness Solar Fire [the supreme solar flame of the southern heavens] was also of staggering value. It was the ultimate fire of heaven and earth; refining this flame could greatly enhance a cultivator's Divine Ability [supernatural power].

Having grasped the immense worth of these treasures, everyone fell into a contemplative silence.

The Blazeflame Divine Spirit was the first to speak, directly taking the Southern Brightness Solar Fire [the supreme solar flame of the southern heavens]. "This object is of immense use to me," he declared. "I shall not stand on ceremony."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. The Blazeflame Divine Spirit's nature was perfectly aligned with the Southern Brightness Solar Fire [the supreme solar flame of the southern heavens]. Refining it would not only grant a significant boost in power but also increase his chances of achieving a breakthrough in the Dual Primordial Unity Foundation [a cultivation art for a dual Primordial Unity foundation] by twenty to thirty percent.

Seeing this, Glazed Divine Lord [a title for a powerful immortal] hesitated in turn over the Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a legendary fruit that can help form the Primordial Unity Foundation], the Fragment of Chronos [a shard containing the power of time itself], and the Ancient Firmament Gold [a primordial metal of immense hardness and spiritual conductivity], ultimately taking that single Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit.

Although the Fragment of Chronos and the Ancient Firmament Gold were more precious, their attributes did not align with her own. In contrast, the Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit could aid one in cultivating the Primordial Unity Foundation [the most perfect and stable foundational cultivation stage], offering her far greater utility.

After claiming this treasure, Violet Mystery Path Master now possessed the Kui Ox Heavenly Drum [a divine drum artifact], leaving him with no other choice among the remaining items.

Eldrin Chen collected the Fragment of Chronos, the Ancient Firmament Gold, and the two Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [weapons forged at the Primordial Unity Immortal level], then spoke, "From the remaining treasures, two portions must be reserved for Myriad Spirit Patriarch. I shall store them for now."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen also brought out the Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel [the highest grade of primal chaos marvel used in world creation] and addressed the group, "These World-Opening Marvel [primal chaos marvels used in world creation] are also excellent. Please, each of you, select one portion."

The others looked up, their faces alight with excitement.

Among the treasures they had seized this time, aside from the Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon, the most valuable items were these Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel.

These Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel were broadly divided into Immortal Artifact [artifacts of immortal grade] and World-Opening Supreme Treasure [supreme treasures used in world creation], totaling over a dozen portions combined.

"Then this old Daoist shall not refuse such kindness,"

Heaven Abyss Path Master said with a faint smile, selecting the 'Starry Abyss of the Silver River' [a cosmic marvel resembling a river of stars falling into an abyss]. It was the most precious Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Rare Treasure [a treasure of the eighth rank and supreme grade] and the perfect material for him to refine his Lifebound Immortal Sword [an immortal sword bound to one's life and soul].

Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, Verdant Consort, Exquisite Jiang, and the others each took what they needed. Nearly every Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the terrestrial immortal realm] who participated in the battle received either a Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel [a primordial treasure of the highest grade, born from the chaos of creation] or a World-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact forged from the foundational energies of a nascent world].

After the treasures were distributed, Eldrin Chen handed two particular artifacts to Ancient Ruins Nether Lord and spoke, "The fissure in the Small Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or microcosm] that you discovered, Brother Ancient Ruins, was a contribution of paramount importance."

"During the great battle, I kept these two treasures in mind for you, specifically using the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical mirror capable of manipulating the fundamental forces of yin and yang] to seize them. I believe they will be of significant use to you. I hope you will not refuse them, Brother Ancient Ruins."

"This..."

Looking at the treasures in his hands, Ancient Ruins Nether Lord felt a jolt of profound astonishment.

The artifacts Eldrin Chen had given him were none other than two of the three supreme treasures of the Netherworld Small Universe [a pocket dimension steeped in the energies of death and the underworld]: the 'Nether River Sword' [a blade imbued with the chilling power of the underworld's rivers] and the 'River Lethe' [a conceptual artifact representing the river of oblivion in the underworld].

Both of these artifacts were Netherworld Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact forged from the essence of the underworld] of the World-Opening Supreme Treasure grade. Each alone was a Three-Rune World-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme creation-treasure inscribed with three primordial runes of power], placing them among the most elite of their kind.

More importantly, when these two treasures were combined with his own Nether Sea Pearl [a pearl containing the condensed essence of the Nether Sea], they could fuse into a single, peerless Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [an immortal weapon of the highest order, symbolizing the unification of primordial forces].

He had a premonition that with all three Netherworld Supreme Treasure assembled, his future path of cultivation would be smooth sailing. His confidence in eventually stepping into the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of celestial immortals, a higher state of being above earth immortals] had increased tremendously.

At this thought, Ancient Ruins Nether Lord's heart swelled with even greater excitement. He could not help but say, "You have been most thoughtful, Brother Eldrin."

"If Elder Brother Ancient Ruins is satisfied, then all is well."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, a genuine smile finally gracing his features.

Afterwards, the group proceeded to divide the remaining, more common rare treasures and artifacts.

Once the distribution of treasures concluded, the others departed one by one, leaving only the members of the Chen Immortal Clan within the Great Hall.

Eldrin Chen once again took a moment to review the treasures now in his possession, a satisfied smile spreading across his face as he spoke.

"Our journey into the Small Universe has filled our coffers to overflowing. For the next several hundred thousand years, we can finally cultivate in peace and security."

Hearing this, the others could not help but share in his joy.

This expedition to the Small Universe had indeed yielded a staggering harvest. Even setting aside the Innate Ancient Treasure, the spoils in their hands were cause for immense celebration.

Each member of the Chen Immortal Clan now held several hundred vials of Galaxy Star Sand Pill [a high-grade cultivation pill refined from the essence of stars and galaxies], their collective value exceeding fifty million Immortal Source [a highly concentrated and pure form of spiritual energy used by high-level immortals].

In terms of sheer wealth alone, each of them now rivaled a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has nearly ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] who had established a Single Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme and singular foundational cultivation method].

Furthermore, each of them now possessed either a World-Opening Supreme Treasure [a legendary artifact of immense power capable of shaping nascent worlds] or a Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel [a supreme-grade natural wonder of the cosmos, invaluable for world-creation].

Among these, there were four World-Opening Supreme Treasure: the Chaos Heaven Battle Axe, the Ice Phoenix Sky-Freezing Wheel, the Ancient Bell of Primordial Chaos, and the Azure Abyss Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Of these four supreme treasures, the Chaos Heaven Battle Axe was allocated to Energy Abyss Chen. The Ice Phoenix Sky-Freezing Wheel, which Eldrin Chen had specifically procured from Glazed Divine Lord, naturally fell into the hands of Lila.

The Ancient Bell of Primordial Chaos, a peerless defensive treasure, was entrusted to Kael Chen for refinement. The Azure Abyss Heaven-Slaying Sword was given to Ethan Chen.

There were also four Supreme Grade World-Opening Marvel: two pieces of Divine Marrow of the Fire Prison [the crystallized essence of a primordial flame prison, containing immense fire-attribute power] and two Primordial Era Star Core [the condensed, eternal heart of a star from the dawn of creation]. These were distributed among Violet Consort Yan, Verdant Consort, and Nyssa Qu.
