Chapter 1584 : The Immortal Peach's Transformation

As his thoughts stirred, Eldrin Chen immediately retrieved the Heaven-Earth Primordial Energy Water and sprinkled the Innate Spiritual Water [a water of pure, untainted spiritual essence] upon the Immortal Peach Tree.

It was observed that the Immortal Peach Tree absorbed the Immortal Spirit Water [water imbued with immortal-grade spiritual energy], and within it, a slow, profound transformation began to unfold.

"I hope you will not disappoint me."

Gazing at the metamorphosing Immortal Peach Tree, Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a glimmer of anticipation shining in his eyes.

After careful deliberation, Eldrin Chen had concluded that advancing the Immortal Peach Tree was the most optimal choice.

By comparison, while the Wind-Severing Divine Gourd was a Slaughter-type treasure, and elevating it to the Primordial Unity Realm would grant him a trump card capable of threatening even Triple Primordial Unity Foundation experts and Celestial Immortal [a powerful immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm], it was not his primary need.

Similarly, the Primordial Unity Enlightenment Tea could greatly enhance his comprehension, allowing him a glimpse into the profound mysteries of Primordial Unity Path Principle Power [the fundamental laws and principles of the Primordial Unity cultivation stage].

Whichever of these two treasures succeeded in its advancement would undoubtedly propel Eldrin Chen's future cultivation to soaring heights.

Yet, Eldrin Chen believed that cultivation base was the very foundation of everything, the root from which all power and control stemmed. Without a sufficient foundation, even the most formidable grasp of Path Principles would be as rootless as duckweed upon the water.

Now, with two hundred and ten thousand years remaining until the eruption of the Path Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial for cultivators], Eldrin Chen had only just broken through to the Ninth Level Earth Immortal. The story continues at audio-novel . com.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, for his own spiritual power [the energy cultivated and wielded by practitioners of the mystical arts] to reach perfection and attain the threshold for a breakthrough to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, it would still require at least another one hundred and fifty thousand years.

By that time, with merely sixty thousand years remaining until the Path Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial that tests a cultivator's mastery of their chosen Dao], Eldrin Chen would likely only have enough time to consolidate his cultivation base, leaving little room for further strategic preparations. Once the Path Tribulation arrived, he would find himself in a rather passive position.

Within the Chen Immortal Clan, five individuals—Verdant Consort, Exquisite Jiang, Nyssa Qu, Violet Consort Yan, and Lila—possessed the Worldly Spiritual Root [a supreme innate talent for cultivation] bestowed by Eldrin Chen's own ascension. It was estimated they would only have the opportunity to attempt a breakthrough to Half-Step Celestial Immortal once by that time.

As for the three foundational pillars of the clan—Kael Chen, Ethan Chen, and Energy Abyss Chen—if their journeys of external cultivation and experience proved unfruitful, they might not even succeed in breaking through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm by then.

Thus, after much deliberation, Eldrin Chen concluded that the most pressing matter was to facilitate their breakthroughs and ensure they stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm as soon as possible.

Under these circumstances, using the Primordial Unity Immortal Peach [a legendary fruit of profound spiritual power] to accelerate their cultivation seemed the optimal choice.

As these thoughts swirled in Eldrin Chen's mind, the Primordial Unity Immortal Peach Tree trembled slightly. The Primordial Unity Path Principle Power [the fundamental law and power of the Dao of Primordial Unity] contained within it finally coalesced into form. Upon its branches grew nine Flat Peach [a type of celestial peach], emanating an aura of profound and mysterious power.

"This is..."

"The Positive Water Flat Peach."

Eldrin Chen's heart stirred with recognition. He understood the origin of this treasure. The Positive Water Flat Peach Tree [the ultimate evolution of all peach trees, bearing fruit imbued with the harmonizing power of positive water energy] represented the pinnacle state for all peach tree spiritual plants.

It is said that within the Human Race Immortal Court [the celestial governing body of human cultivators], there exists a Flat Peach Grove [a legendary orchard], filled with thousands of Innate Ancient Tree [primordial trees born of heaven and earth], all of which are Innate Positive Water Flat Peach [a supreme variety of immortal peach]. These are the very Immortal Peach [fruit of longevity and power] with which the Immortal Court feasts its assembled immortals.

One must understand that the immortals feasted by the Immortal Court are beings of at least the Celestial Immortal Great Power [a mighty realm of celestial existence] level, among whom are figures of the Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [a lordly realm encompassing vast power] caliber.

For such exalted beings to regard it as an Immortal Artifact [a treasure of peerless rank], one can see the precious rarity of this Positive Water Flat Peach.

This 'Positive Water Flat Peach' tree belonging to Eldrin Chen is a Ninth Rank [the pinnacle rank below the innate] Primordial Unity Flat Peach [a peach embodying primordial unity]. Compared to the Innate Positive Water Flat Peach of the Immortal Court, it is separated by but a single step.

"Innate [born of heaven], Post-Heaven [acquired through cultivation]—a single step's difference, yet a chasm as vast as heaven and earth."

"But it is, after all, a Ninth Rank Flat Peach [the immortal peach], and has undergone a startling metamorphosis."

Gazing upon this Positive Water Flat Peach Tree, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a faint smile.

His Positive Water Flat Peach Tree could not compare to an Innate Flat Peach tree, yet it possessed its own astonishing and profound mysteries.

According to his calculations, a mere mortal who consumed a single Primordial Unity Positive Water Flat Peach would instantly ascend to immortality, gaining longevity equal to heaven and earth, becoming deathless in Longevity [a state of eternal life].

Of course, those who achieve immortality by consuming such a Flat Peach Tree fruit, due to their own insufficient foundational roots, would find their future cultivation progress nearly impossible to advance.

The most crucial function of this peach lies in its ability to assist beings at the Primordial Unity Realm in their cultivation.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, an Immortal at the Ninth Level Earth Immortal who consumes a single Flat Peach could save themselves a million years of arduous cultivation.

For an Earth Immortal whose foundation is already complete and at the Ninth Level Earth Immortal, consuming a Positive Water Flat Peach [a type of spiritual peach imbued with potent yang and water energies] could even allow them to leverage its immense energy to assail the Half-Step Celestial Immortal bottleneck, increasing their chance of success by a full ten percent.

Furthermore, even for those already at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal stage, obtaining a significant quantity of Positive Water Flat Peach could enhance their prospects of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

However, after the Flat Peach Tree advanced in grade, its maturation cycle lengthened considerably; henceforth, it would require one million years to bear fruit once.

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a smile gracing his lips.

He consumed one Flat Peach, dedicating a portion of his focus to refining its energies, then harvested the remaining eight peaches before finally emerging from his Seclusion Chamber. He found Exquisite Jiang standing guard outside.

Over these years, Exquisite Jiang had already broken through to Earth Immortal Great Perfection. Others like Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Lila, and Violet Consort Yan were currently in secluded cultivation, attempting their own breakthroughs to the Ninth Level Earth Immortal realm.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen handed the Flat Peach to Exquisite Jiang and said with a gentle smile, "With this, it won't be long before you can attempt to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal stage, my lady."

Seeing this, Exquisite Jiang could not help but smile faintly.

She took the Flat Peach [a legendary fruit of immortality] and inquired, "Since you have made your breakthrough, are you preparing to take action?"

"The Spirit Mountain [a sacred mountain imbued with profound spiritual energy] is not going anywhere; there is no need for haste just yet."

Eldrin Chen shook his head and then spoke, "Once your spiritual power reaches its peak, Madam, it will be time to attempt the breakthrough to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a transitional state just below the realm of a true Celestial Immortal]. I shall go and refine a few batches of the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme elixir for forging the Primordial Unity Golden Body constitution]."

Exquisite Jiang was momentarily taken aback, then immediately replied, "Very well."

Back when he was at the Seventh Level Earth Immortal [the seventh tier of the Earth Immortal cultivation stage], Eldrin Chen had already been capable of refining supreme elixirs like the Pill of Polarity Enlightenment [a pill that grants profound insight into the duality of existence], which is a type of Primordial Unity Immortal Pill [a pinnacle-grade immortal pill].

Although Eldrin Chen had not yet fully absorbed the power of the Flat Peach, his current spiritual power far surpassed what it was during his Seventh Level Earth Immortal days. Furthermore, his alchemical skills had improved significantly since then.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen planned to begin refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill, preparing in advance for the breakthrough of Exquisite Jiang and others into the Primordial Unity Realm [the foundational realm of Primordial Unity cultivation].

Exquisite Jiang's Path Body [a supreme innate constitution perfectly aligned with the Great Dao] was Innate [naturally born, of heavenly origin], unlike Eldrin Chen's constitution, which was cultivated through Post-Heaven [acquired through effort after birth] means.

An Innate constitution possesses an abundant internal foundation. Breaking through requires far fewer resources, and cultivation is considerably simpler.

For a constitution like Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Indestructibility Body, if it is an innate physique born with the Innate Primordial Path Runes [the foundational divine patterns that lead directly to the Primordial One Realm] reaching all the way to the Primordial One Realm, perhaps a single Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill would be sufficient to ascend to the Primordial Unity Realm.

Exquisite Jiang's Supreme Lunar Immortal Body is precisely this kind of innate constitution. Such a supreme-grade physique can lead directly to the Great Encompassing Realm. Only at the crucial bottleneck of breaking through Great Encompassing does a significant and costly hurdle appear.

Similarly, Nyssa Qu's Nine-Colored Immortal Shell constitution is of this caliber. Such a physique is exceedingly rare, even in ancient times, and faces no major bottlenecks until the breakthrough to Great Encompassing.

Generally speaking, an Inferior Grade Path Body holds the potential to achieve immortality. A Middle Grade Path Body has hope of breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm. For a Superior Grade Path Body, no significant bottlenecks will be encountered before reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Body of an ordinary Immortal is often mediocre. Their potential is typically exhausted upon reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, and advancing a single step further becomes an arduous task of ten thousand difficulties.

Once this limit is reached, further progress becomes nearly impossible—unless one's Immortal Body undergoes an ultimate, transcendent metamorphosis. Access the full story on audio-novel`com.
