Chapter 1673 : Unlocking the Twelfth Heaven

If one could open a Twelfth Heaven [the twelfth and highest layer of the celestial heavens within a cultivator's inner world] Cosmos [an inner world or microcosm cultivated within a powerful being], then a Flawless Celestial Immortal [a Celestial Immortal who has achieved a perfect, flawless foundation] could cultivate all the way to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm] without worrying about a shortage of Innate Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation].

Furthermore, the World Creation [the act of creating or expanding one's inner world during a major breakthrough] that occurs when a Cosmos [an inner world or microcosm cultivated within a powerful being] ascends is similar to the World Creation [a powerful technique or event involving the creation or expansion of a world] during a breakthrough to Earth Immortal [the Earth Immortal realm]. It depends not only on one's own Mana [spiritual energy or magical power] and cultivation level, but also on one's combat prowess, Divine Ability [a supremely powerful supernatural technique], and other means such as Immortal Treasure [an immortal-grade magical artifact].

Eldrin Chen believed that if Qiyuan Chen and the others possessed one or two suitable Innate Treasure [a treasure born from primordial chaos, possessing immense innate power] and rare treasures, they might still have a chance to open even more layers of heavens.

A cultivator's aptitude and Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and solid foundational strength accumulated through cultivation] are divided into innate aptitude and acquired aptitude.

Innate aptitude is similar to Lyra Jiang's Lunar Immortal Physique [a rare and powerful constitution attuned to the essence of the moon], or Nyssa Qu's Nine-Colored Spirit Clam Bloodline [a noble bloodline heritage from the mythical Nine-Colored Spirit Clam], whose potential is often limitless.

Acquired aptitude, on the other hand, refers to the Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and solid foundational strength accumulated through cultivation] that is continuously improved during the cultivation process itself. Opening the Ninefold Heavens [the nine foundational layers of heaven within a cultivator's inner world] and condensing the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme triple-layered foundation based on the primordial Taiyi principle] are acts that inherently enhance one's acquired aptitude.

The innate aptitude of Qiyuan Chen, Lila, Yvonne the Violet Consort, and others could not compare to the direct disciples of the Great Luo [the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm] or the direct descendants of the Primordial Immortal Clan [an ancient clan whose origins trace back to the dawn of creation]. It was only after condensing the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme triple-layered foundation based on the primordial Taiyi principle] that they could use their acquired aptitude to bridge the gap.

To catch up to or even surpass these peerless Heaven's Chosen [individuals blessed by heaven with extraordinary talent and destiny], one must continuously make up for the difference through these avenues of acquired aptitude.

Eldrin Chen believed that if Yvonne the Violet Consort and the others could open one more layer of heaven during their breakthrough to Heaven Immortal [the Heaven Immortal realm], it might grant them an additional sliver of hope for a future breakthrough to Great Luo [the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm].

After much contemplation, Eldrin Chen strode into the depths of the Immortal Herb Garden. He retrieved a strand of Innate Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] and used it to nurture and elevate a plant into a Innate Taiyi Immortal Fruit [a supreme immortal fruit born from Innate Qi, embodying the Taiyi principle].

Thereafter, he began refining the Innate Taiyi Pill [a supreme-grade pill that aids in establishing the foundational Taiyi cultivation stage]. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. This time, Eldrin Chen refined the Innate Taiyi Immortal Fruit [a rare spiritual fruit essential for crafting the Innate Taiyi Pill], and his speed increased noticeably once more.

Merely eight hundred years later, Eldrin Chen successfully completed this batch of Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [a high-grade pill marked with cloud-like patterns, a precursor to the Innate Taiyi Pill]. This time, a total of five pills were successfully formed.

There were six individuals in total preparing to attempt the breakthrough to the Triple Taiyi Foundation [the third and most profound stage of the foundational Taiyi cultivation realm]. Verdant Consort did not require the aid of this item, so these five Innate Taiyi Pill were, for the time being, sufficient for use.

After successfully refining the Innate Taiyi Pill, Eldrin Chen noticed that the others were still in secluded cultivation. He thus continued to spare some effort for Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual herbs and materials into potent pills and elixirs].

The spoils from this great battle were immense, including one stalk of Ninth Rank Heaven-Mending Medicine [a top-tier spiritual herb of the ninth rank, renowned for its ability to repair severe cultivation damage and mend one's foundational Dao]. Eldrin Chen opened his cauldron and refined a batch of Ninth Rank Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill [a powerful ninth-rank pill crafted from the Heaven-Mending Medicine, used to repair crippling injuries to a cultivator's foundation].

Although it was merely a Ninth Rank Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill, its medicinal efficacy was still extraordinary. Eldrin Chen had them delivered to Zixuan the Daoist and Divine Lord Glaze. After consuming the pills, the two swiftly recovered the greater part of their damaged foundations.

Not long after, Yvonne the Violet Consort, Lila, Kael Chen, Separated Flame Deity, and Sky Abyss Daoist each finished refining their Dao Source [a rare, condensed essence of primordial Dao principles, used for profound cultivation breakthroughs]. They had all touched the threshold required for breaking through to the Triple Taiyi Foundation.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen distributed one Innate Taiyi Pill to each person. He then had them take turns using the Enlightenment Meditation Mat [a mystical mat that enhances focus and spiritual clarity, ideal for meditation and breakthroughs] to attempt their ascensions.

Thereafter, Eldrin Chen exited the Minor Universe [a pocket dimension or artificially created smaller world] and flew into the heart of the Myriad Spirits Sea Territory [a vast oceanic region teeming with spiritual energy and ancient life].

Within the Myriad Spirits Sea Territory, Eldrin Chen met with Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor. At this moment, the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's Mana [the refined spiritual energy or life force cultivated by practitioners] was perfectly harmonious and flawless, clearly indicating that his cultivation had reached a state of utter and complete perfection.

Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a profound sense of reverence, his expression turning solemn and grave.

As an ancient immortal who had lived for eighty million years, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's Mana [the reservoir of spiritual power within a cultivator] could be considered the foremost among all beneath the Heaven Immortal [the realm of celestial immortals] realm.

His Mana was even more vast and profound than that of many beings in the Early Celestial Immortal Realm, as if he had shattered some kind of Forbidden Realm [a theoretical limit or barrier in cultivation], allowing for near-limitless accumulation.

Such a figure, though not specializing in methods of slaughter, possessed combat prowess that undoubtedly ranked among the most powerful of the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation stage]. Even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a peerless master within the Heaven Immortal realm] would find it difficult to defeat him.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen fell into thoughtful silence for a moment before speaking. "I observe that Ancient Ancestor's Mana has reached perfection. Might I ask if you are preparing to break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm?"

Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor shook his head, a wry smile touching his lips. "This old man has cultivated diligently for eighty million years. The reason I have not yet broken through is my desire to master the Triple-Limit Magical Power [a legendary cultivation art that involves compressing one's mana to break its limits three times]. I am still a fraction short of achieving it."

"The Triple-Limit Magical Power?"

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of confusion crossing his features.

The Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor gave a gentle smile and explained candidly, "The so-called Triple-Limit Magical Power refers to Mana that has shattered its limits three times."

"To cultivate this art, one must first refine their internal Mana to a state of perfect fullness and abundance. Then, using a secret method, one compresses and condenses it, transforming it into a more refined and pure form of Mana. Each compression counts as breaking one limit."

"By repeating this process three times, one can cultivate the Triple-Limit Magical Power. Once this level of Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators] is achieved, its purity will far surpass that of peers at the same realm."

Speaking of this, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor looked at Eldrin Chen and said, "I can see that your Mana has already broken its limits not just three times. You must be my senior on this particular path."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen was inwardly astonished. In a flash of realization, he understood why he possessed the Triple-Limit Magical Power.

It turned out that Eldrin Chen's Mana had long ago, tempered by the Lifebound Supreme Treasure, broken its limits threefold and had even traveled a considerable distance further down that very path.

The first breaking of the limit for Eldrin Chen's Mana came from the Lifebound Immortal Treasure.

That Innate Yin-Yang Void Mirror, being an Innate Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth, possessing profound natural laws], surpassed Eldrin Chen's own cultivation realm. As a Lifebound Innate Treasure [an innate treasure bound to one's life and soul], it nourished its master in return, tempering his Mana to an unparalleled purity, thus shattering the first limit.

The second limit was broken due to the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique. In the past, to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, Eldrin Chen endured the triple tempering of the Winds of the Eight Directions, the Extreme Cold Frost Soul, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. His Mana was consequently refined and its limit broken once more.

The third limit-breaking originated from the Innate Path-Seeking Lotus Throne. This treasure possessed the wondrous effects of nurturing and storing Mana, naturally allowing it to condense and purify spiritual energy as well.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth limits were all attributable to the Primordial Chaos Limitless Dao Principle.

That Taiyi Primordial Limitless Dao Principle represented the supreme Dao Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of cultivation]. Tempering Mana with such profound principles, Eldrin Chen's Mana had long ago transcended mere extremity, allowing him to shatter three limits in one breath.

Upon careful calculation, Eldrin Chen's Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by immortals] has shattered its limits six times.

It is precisely for this reason that Eldrin Chen, with his Half-Step Celestial Immortal cultivation base, can channel a Half-Step Patriarch Grade Divine Ability and even manifest Mana of a purity surpassing that of an Early Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator.

Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor spoke in a measured tone, then looked at Eldrin Chen and said, "Legend holds that to break through to the Great Luo realm, one must shatter the limits of their Mana at least nine times to pass that particular trial within the Ninefold Heavenly Pass."

"I have a vague sense that you have shattered its limits at least five or six times. The Supreme secret art you cultivate must surely have an astonishing origin."

As he spoke these words, a flicker of envy surfaced in Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's gaze.

Though he himself leaned upon an Ancient Immortals Ancient Ancestor and cultivated a limit-shattering secret art passed down from the Ancient Immortals, he had only managed to break through three layers of limits at this realm.

Unaware that Eldrin Chen had never cultivated a specialized art for refining Mana, he naturally assumed Eldrin Chen's background was extraordinary.

In his view, for Eldrin Chen, who was still at the Dual Taiyi Foundation stage, to achieve Mana refined to the fifth or even sixth limit, the secret art he practiced must be utterly astounding.

"Such an art would likely be rare even within a Great Luo Ancient Sect."

"Truly, it is something to be envied."

Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor [a venerable and powerful cultivator from ancient times] sighed inwardly, his heart filled with complex emotions, before inquiring, "For what purpose have you sought me out this time?"

At this moment, Eldrin Chen quickly snapped back to attention.

Without further preamble, he retrieved from his sleeve the Yin-Yang Union Gourd [a legendary gourd treasure said to harmonize the forces of Yin and Yang] along with a single, pristine white ancient flower. His expression turned profoundly solemn as he spoke.
