Chapter 1665 : The Remedy of Supreme Unity
"Is there still a way to remedy this?"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of hope stirred within the gazes of those present.
They saw Eldrin Chen give a slight nod before speaking calmly, "If one possesses the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pill [a legendary pill capable of mending foundational flaws in one's cultivation], supplemented by a compatible Supreme Grade Dao Source [a supreme-grade source of primordial Dao essence], it should be possible to repair this portion of the foundation."
"I have several stalks of Heaven-Mending Immortal Herb [a rare immortal herb used as a core ingredient for mending foundational pills]. What you lack is the aid of a single High Grade Dao Source [a high-grade source of primordial Dao essence]."
Upon hearing this, the two individuals immediately exchanged a glance.
After a moment of contemplation, they both nodded and spoke, "It seems, then, that our next course of action must be to devise a plan to obtain a Dao Source [a condensed source of primordial Dao essence]."
After offering his counsel to the pair, Eldrin Chen departed from the Grand Hall.
Returning to the Five Elements Microcosm [a pocket dimension imbued with the essence of the five elements], Eldrin Chen set about refining several Dao Source. Unfortunately, for someone of Eldrin Chen's caliber, these ordinary Dao Source held little further utility.
He refined three in succession, only to find they merely increased his Primordial Source [the foundational source energy of a cultivator] by a fraction, pushing the Primordial Essence Power [the power derived from one's primordial essence] within his Earth Immortal World [the internal world of an Earth Immortal cultivator] to its absolute limit, with no possibility of further advancement.
Eldrin Chen understood in his heart that the difficulty of Cultivating Dao Fruit [the process of nurturing and forming a Dao Fruit, the ultimate goal of high-level cultivation] was immense, given his supremely powerful Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme cultivation art governing the limitless principles of Primordial Chaos] and his Innate Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an innate constitution of unparalleled toughness, born from Primordial Chaos]. His current combat prowess far surpassed that of a typical Nine Tribulations Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations], and he had even ventured deep into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary realm of power beyond conventional cultivation stages].

Should he succeed in forging the Triple Taiyi Foundation, he might transcend the Forbidden Realm entirely, stepping into a realm unprecedented and unparalleled.
Precisely because of this, Eldrin Chen's path to a successful breakthrough was destined to be fraught with monumental trials.
Even slaying a being of the Triple Taiyi Foundation and seizing a world-shaking Dao Source would likely prove insufficient to forge a flawless, peerless Indestructible Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit.
The sole method lay in harnessing the power of an Immortal Domain to deploy a Super Domain Formation. Only through this could one's lifelong cultivation be refined and condensed into unity, forging a single Leakless Supreme Unity Dao Fruit.
However, achieving the Great Unity Dao Fruit was a challenge far surpassing the initial condensation of the World-Opening Dao Fruit.
Upon perfecting his Dual Taiyi Foundation, Eldrin Chen had gained a profound understanding of the method required for myself to forge the Great Unity Dao Fruit.
Because his path defied the heavens so utterly, forging the Supreme Unity Primordial Chaos Limitless Dao Fruit demanded the fulfillment of three indispensable conditions.
These were Fortune [the favor and momentum granted by the cosmos], Merit [the metaphysical currency of virtuous deeds and karma], and Domain [a suitable and empowered spatial field for the ascension]. All three were essential; none could be lacking.
Fortune refers to the grand momentum of Heaven and Earth. Blessed by it, one's cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.
Merit refers to the power of Heaven and Earth Merit. With sufficient Merit gathered upon oneself, the breakthrough would receive the direct aid of the Immortal Domain Heavenly Dao [the supreme, impersonal governing principle of the Immortal Domain].
What is referred to as a 'field domain' requires the deployment of a Super Formation [a formation of immense power and complexity], which gathers boundless Heaven and Earth Power [the primordial energies of the cosmos] to empower oneself, aiding in the condensation of a flawless Dao Fruit [the ultimate crystallization of one's cultivation path].
There is only one method to obtain such destiny: to defeat every single rival within this Dao Tribulation [a grand, epoch-defining cosmic calamity], to dominate the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, and to become the one true protagonist of the Dao Tribulation.
Only then would the boundless destiny accumulated by the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain over tens of millions of years converge upon Eldrin Chen alone, allowing him to step onto a path that transcends all known taboos.
As for 'merit,' it entails accomplishing a deed of Boundless Great Merit [an act of such profound virtue it resonates with the cosmos], one that moves the very Azure Firmament Immortal Domain's Heavenly Dao [the cosmic will and natural order of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain] to its core, compelling it to gather immeasurable merit to aid him.
The 'great formation' requires harnessing Heaven and Earth Power, using nine Innate Treasure [treasures born of primordial chaos] as its Formation Eye [the core anchors of a formation], empowered by nine supreme talents who have achieved the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a legendary, triply-perfected foundational cultivation stage]. Only this could allow for the complete refinement of the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a physique of primordial origin, said to be unbreakable].
"Destiny, Merit, and the Field Domain,"
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
To defeat all powerful foes, dominate the Immortal Domain to seize destiny, perform a deed of merit that shakes the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, and gather nine Innate Treasure along with nine Heaven's Chosen [individuals favored by heaven, possessing exceptional talent] who have achieved the Triple Taiyi Foundation to deploy the formation.
It was undeniable: the difficulty of fulfilling these three conditions was unprecedented, each one alone enough to drive even the Great Luo Ancient Sect [an ancient and mighty sect] to despair.
One must understand, this Dao Tribulation was not merely a contest among the various Grotto-Heaven [paradisiacal realms and sects]; even the Great Luo Ancient Sect had more than one player entering the fray. It could be called the most terrifying Dao Tribulation the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain had witnessed in one hundred Calamity Tribulation [cycles of lesser cosmic calamities].
Yet, such arduous conditions, fulfilled solely to achieve the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a legendary and supremely stable cultivation foundation], reveal just how formidable Eldrin Chen's personal power must be after Cultivating Dao Fruit [the profound process of nurturing a Dao Fruit, the core essence of one's cultivation path].
The realm beyond the forbidden, once such a foundation is stepped upon, would likely be enough to shake the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. Even if one cannot claim it to be unprecedented, within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, such existences are undoubtedly few and far between.
Be it a Quasi-Sage Imperial Lord [a supreme cultivator on the cusp of Sagehood] or a Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [a mythical progenitor of a cultivation lineage], it is doubtful whether even they in their prime ever accomplished such a feat.
"One hundred thousand years, to dominate the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a ripple of emotion stirring within the depths of his gaze.
He slowly concluded his cultivation session and strode forward, his eyes turning towards the heart of the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm rich with the energies of the five fundamental elements]. There, he sensed a majestic aura erupt, painting the heavens and earth with nine-colored radiance before it all condensed and vanished without a trace. The story continues at audio . novel . com.
As a being formed from a Nine-Colored Immortal Clam [a mythical clam of peerless spiritual quality], Nyssa Qu possessed innate talents that ranked first among Eldrin Chen's dao companions. Having merely consumed a single Innate Taiyi Pill [a supreme elixir for forging a perfect foundation], she successfully forged her Triple Taiyi Foundation.
Then, Nyssa Qu emerged, a gentle smile gracing her features as she spoke, "Husband, the mission is accomplished, and honor is preserved."
Nyssa Qu spoke softly, her eyes alight with quiet joy.
Eldrin Chen nodded, a warm smile touching his lips. "With your breakthrough, my beloved, the path to cultivating my Primordial Limitless Dao Fruit [the ultimate Dao Fruit representing boundless, primordial potential] finally holds the promise of success."
Upon hearing this, Nyssa Qu's eyes flickered with a subtle movement.
Eldrin Chen had informed her of the three prerequisites for myself to cultivate the Primordial Limitless Dao Fruit.
After listening, Nyssa Qu's expression shifted slightly with astonishment before she spoke: "It seems Husband made the right choice in supporting Divine Lord and the others."
Eldrin Chen nodded, his expression grave as he said: "This path is exceedingly arduous. Yet, once it is mastered, our Chen Clan will surely transcend the Hundred Races and become a leading, powerful Grotto-Heaven within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain."
With that said, Eldrin Chen instructed Nyssa Qu to continue her secluded cultivation. He then settled into meditation within the Grotto-Heaven, awaiting the breakthroughs of Ethan Chen and the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord. Aided by the Enlightenment Meditation Cushion [a mystical cushion that enhances meditative insight], the Innate Taiyi Pill [a supreme elixir born of primordial chaos], and the Primordial Spirit Fruit [a fruit that nourishes the very core of one's spirit], their breakthroughs proceeded with remarkable smoothness.
In merely over eight hundred years, they successively completed their cultivation cycles, both attaining the Triple Taiyi Foundation.
Prior to their success, the others had also concluded their seclusions, each having made varying degrees of progress in their cultivation and strength.
Among them, three new Half-Step Celestial Immortal had emerged: the dual cultivation partner of Violet Firmament Daoist, the Spirit Firmament Immortal Maiden, along with Luna, the Consort and Stella from the Glazed Blessed Land.
It was only then that Eldrin Chen realized with astonishment that the Glazed Blessed Land now, almost imperceptibly, boasted eight Half-Step Celestial Immortal. This count did not even include Nyssa Qu, the young mistress of the Glazed Blessed Land.
After everyone's breakthroughs, Eldrin Chen summoned all twenty-some Half-Step Celestial Immortal to the Verdant Chariot Mountain Great Hall.
"Esteemed ones, nearly ten thousand years have flowed by since the Dao Tribulation [the Heavenly Trial of the Dao, a cataclysmic event testing the fate of all cultivators] first descended upon us, almost unnoticed in its passage."
"In these near ten millennia, we have repelled two great invasions, achieving victories unprecedented in scale. We have slain forty-four Half-Step Celestial Immortals [cultivators who have ascended to the very threshold of true immortality] and even the Dragon King of the Western Abyss."
"Yet now, within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea region suffused with potent spiritual energies], none dare to assail our strongholds any longer."
"If we continue this bitter vigil, awaiting the outcome of the conflict among the seven great powers, they will eventually consolidate their gains. Once they have digested the spoils of war, they may very well join forces to turn against us." The complete novel can be found at http://www . audio-novel.com.
