Chapter 1683 : Dreams of a Reincarnation Fruit

For instance, a Reincarnation Fruit of the seventh rank [the seventh level in the cultivation hierarchy] can only allow an Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] to cultivate in a dream Reincarnation [a state of simulated rebirth and enlightenment] up to the Immortal realm. The Eighth Rank [the eighth level in the cultivation hierarchy] Reincarnation Fruit before us can only allow one to cultivate in a dream up to the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an Earth Immortal, a powerful immortal being]. If one attempts to exceed this limit, its energy will be exhausted prematurely, causing the dream to end.

If one could cultivate a Reincarnation Fruit of the Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born from primordial chaos, of the highest grade] grade, then consuming it could even allow one to cultivate in a dream up to the Quasi-Sage [a realm just below that of a Sage] realm.

Since Eldrin Chen possesses the ability to cultivate Innate Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of innate, primordial quality], there is hope that he might one day cultivate even a Chaos Spiritual Root [a spiritual root born from primordial chaos]. Therefore, unless the day comes when myself [referring to Eldrin Chen himself] finds his cultivation progress completely stalled, he would not lightly use a lower-grade Reincarnation Fruit.

After hearing Eldrin Chen explain the Mysterious Profound [profound and mysterious properties] of this Reincarnation Fruit, the group could not help but reveal expressions of wild joy.

The Demon-Subduing Divine Monk [a powerful Buddhist monk renowned for subduing demons] could not help but take a deep breath before speaking, "To experience a lifetime of Reincarnation in a dream and gain a lifetime's worth of cultivation... Such a divine object would likely stir the heart of even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme being among Heavenly Immortals], would it not?"

"Not necessarily."

Eldrin Chen shook his head and spoke with calm detachment, "For a seventh-rank or Eighth Rank Reincarnation Fruit, the absolute limit of cultivation gained from a single dream Reincarnation is the realm of an Ascendant Immortal [an immortal who has ascended] or an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. Such power is utterly insignificant to a Heavenly Immortal Paragon."

"Moreover, regardless of the grade of the Reincarnation Fruit, any individual can only consume it once. A Heavenly Immortal Paragon would certainly not waste such a precious opportunity."

"For a Heaven Immortal [a Heavenly Immortal] or a Great Luo [a Great Luo Golden Immortal], only a Ninth Rank [the ninth and highest rank] innate Reincarnation Fruit, or even one of the Innate Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of innate origin] grade, would be a true treasure capable of stirring their desire."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding. This content originates from audio-novel dot com. Please respect copyright.

If an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a cultivator of immense power who has attained the Ancient Immortal realm] were to obtain a Reincarnation Fruit [a miraculous fruit that allows one to experience a simulated life and cultivation within a dream] of the Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primal chaos of heaven and earth, possessing innate divine abilities] grade, then by cultivating within the dream to the Ancient Immortals [the collective term for cultivators who have attained the Ancient Immortal realm] realm and attempting to assail the Great Luo Realm [the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, a supreme state of cultivation] once...

...then upon success, one could cultivate into a venerable Great Luo [Great Luo Golden Immortal]. Upon failure, one could merge the Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path and comprehension] of two lifetimes into one body, and the hope for a future breakthrough would undoubtedly increase significantly.

For them, a high-grade Reincarnation Fruit is a Supreme [a term denoting the highest, most peerless grade] treasure, while a low-grade one is instead utterly useless.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianqi took the Reincarnation Fruit, his gaze slightly astonished as he said, "If I use this object to enter Reincarnation [the cycle of rebirth, or in this context, the dream simulation of a life], and cultivate to the Triple Heaven-Opening Foundation [a supreme, triple-layered foundation for the Heaven-Opening realm] within the dream, could it replace the foundation of this lifetime?"

"Replace the foundation?"

Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback. After a pause, he said, "An Eighth Rank Reincarnation Fruit lacks sufficient power. Completely replacing it is likely impossible, but it could be refined into a pseudo-Heaven-Opening Foundation [the foundational cultivation method for the Heaven-Opening realm]."

"If one can refine the false into the true, and solidify the Refining Void [a title or concept related to refining emptiness or illusion into substance], should it be possible to cultivate the Triple Heaven-Opening Foundation?"

"Refine the false into the true, solidify the Refining Void?"

Lin Tianqi pondered silently for a moment before asking, "How can one refine the false into the true and continuously solidify it?"

Without hesitation, Eldrin Chen stated plainly, "A vast quantity of high-quality Dao Source [the primordial source energy of the Great Dao], or items like a high-grade Heaven-Mending Pill [a legendary pill said to mend the flaws of heaven itself], can compensate and transform the false into the real."

"Since ancient times, the reason why Ninth Tribulation Immortal [an immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations] have been able to defy fate and alter their destiny is precisely because they have consecutively weathered nine Great Tribulation [cataclysmic heavenly trials], obtaining vast amounts of Dao Source [the primordial source essence of the Dao] and wondrous objects to mend their foundational flaws."

"If you were to cultivate the Triple Heaven-Opening Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation stage that opens the heavens thrice] within the dream, you should be able to achieve this step without needing to endure the Nine Calamities [nine successive heavenly calamities]."

"I understand."

Lin Tianqi gave a slight nod, his grip tightening firmly around the Reincarnation Fruit [a miraculous fruit said to grant a simulated lifetime of experience within a dream].

Seeing this, the others also grasped their Reincarnation Fruit, and a flicker of hope kindled within Eldrin's heart.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh inwardly. He understood all too well the immense difficulty of achieving the Triple Heaven-Opening Foundation.

Even if one could experience a lifetime of Reincarnation [a simulated rebirth within a dream] within the dream, the influence of memories from this current life would pose a tremendous obstacle to surpassing one's true self.

If one could not cultivate the Triple Heaven-Opening Foundation in this lifetime, the hope of achieving it within a dream was, in truth, exceedingly slim.

Nevertheless, Eldrin Chen did not pour cold water on their aspirations. Instead, he offered words of encouragement: "With these wondrous objects, your chances of breaking through to the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme foundational stage representing the primordial unity of three] should be significantly greater. Now, focus on your secluded cultivation."

After instructing the group, Eldrin Chen sought out Solara and bestowed upon her a Ninth Rank Heaven-Mending Pill [a supreme elixir of the ninth rank, said to mend flaws in one's heavenly endowment]. He then presented the remaining three Reincarnation Fruit to the Three Maidens of Sun, Moon, and Stars.

With three Reincarnation Fruit and the Ninth RankHeaven-Mending Pill, supplemented by the captured Dao Source, the three women's certainty of achieving the Dual Taiyi Foundation was virtually absolute.

In the future, their chances of breaking through to the Heaven Immortal Realm should also be exceedingly high.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, once the three women ascended to Heaven Immortal, the transformation of the Starry Glazed Realm into the Starry Glazed Grotto-Heaven would follow as naturally as water flowing downhill.

After completing this step, Eldrin Chen refrained from further intervention.

Not long after, Eldrin Chen gathered all the senior members who had attained the Triple Taiyi Foundation or higher, convening them within the Verdant Chariot Mountain Great Hall.

Within the Grand Hall, Eldrin Chen surveyed the assembly and realized the Abyssal Immortal Alliance now boasted over ten individuals who had reached the Triple Taiyi Foundation. This content originates from audio novel.com. Please respect copyright.

From the Chen Clan alone, there were eleven: Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, Yvonne the Violet Consort, Lila, Nyssa Qu, Qiyuan Chen, Ethan Chen, Kael Chen, Qing the Ancient Ancestor, Caelan Chen, and Xander Qing Chen.

From the Immortal Alliance, there were five more: Glaze Qu, Zixuan the Daoist, Sky Abyss Daoist, Separated Flame Deity, and Ancient Ruins Yin Lord.

Adding the recently joined Ronan Luo from the Celestial Web Ancient Sect [an ancient sect known for its intricate and profound celestial divination arts], the total now stood at seventeen individuals at the Triple Taiyi Foundation, plus two Heavenly Immortal Paragon—Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor and Xuan Qi the Daoist—and Eldrin Chen himself, whose combat power rivaled that of a Heaven Immortal.

"Seventeen at the Triple Taiyi Foundation, each possessing combat power approaching that of a Heaven Immortal."

"With the addition of two more Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme rank among Heavenly Immortals], our current strength, while perhaps not enough to sweep unopposed across the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the vast celestial realm where the story is set], can certainly be counted among the top-tier powers within the Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole [a specific region of six major domains within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain]."

Sensing the awe-inspiring presence of the formidable experts gathered before him, Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips.

The others were also visibly stirred, their excitement palpable; even Ronan Luo felt a profound sense of astonishment.

An alliance boasting seventeen Triple Taiyi Foundation [a legendary and supremely stable foundation for cultivation, representing the pinnacle of potential] Heaven Immortal [a high rank of immortal, above Earth Immortal]—this was a force of truly staggering magnitude. One must remember that many Great Luo Ancient Sect [venerable and immensely powerful immortal sects] might not accumulate so many prodigious talents across an entire era.

Surveying the breadth of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, across spans of ten million years, the number of Triple Taiyi Foundation born from a single Dao Tribulation [a grand, cyclical heavenly trial or epoch] generally did not exceed fifty. Yet, before them now stood close to twenty, accounting for nearly one-third of that number.

In other eras, the entire Six Celestial Domains of the Western Pole might not see so many Triple Taiyi Foundation ascend within a single Dao Tribulation.

It was only now, with the approach of the Hundred Tribulations Rebirth Opportunity [a rare cosmic event promising great fortune and renewal after countless trials], that countless Ancient Sect and Grotto-Heaven [a blessed, independent pocket dimension or paradise] were willing to invest immense resources to place their pieces on the board, leading to the emergence of so many top-tier geniuses.

"The fortune of this Abyssal Immortal Alliance [the alliance led by Eldrin Chen] is concentrated and unyielding. While its grandeur may not yet rival that of a Great Luo Ancient Sect, it blazes like a sun within the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms], ascending with breathtaking speed."

"For it to nurture so many heaven-favored prodigies, there must be something truly astonishing anchoring its fortune behind the scenes."

Behind Ronan Luo, Xuan Qi the Daoist [a Daoist cultivator] spoke softly, transmitting his voice secretly to Ronan Luo.

Upon hearing this, Ronan Luo's pupils contracted slightly.

Although Innate Marvels [naturally formed treasures of profound spiritual power] can stabilize and suppress a clan's fortune, they have a finite capacity. Once that limit is reached, they become saturated.

Even without the Treasure Box, such marvels can at best prevent the leakage of fortune; they cannot cause one's own fortune to surge and flourish vigorously.

Yet now, the fortune of the Chen Immortal Clan is vast and majestic, and it is climbing at an astonishingly rapid pace. This situation is exceedingly rare.
