Chapter 1585 : Forging the Supreme Immortal Body

For them, the only path forward is to forge their physical constitutions into something far greater, to undergo a metamorphosis into a formidable Superior Grade Path Body [a constitution of exceptional quality, a step below the pinnacle], or even beyond, to shatter the barriers of the World-Opening Realm [the realm of creating one's own inner world] and ascend to the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of true celestial beings].

As for the Great Encompassing Golden Body [the legendary, all-encompassing perfected physique], that is a state attainable only by those who have shattered the Fleshly Body Heavenly Pass [the ultimate heavenly tribulation for the physical body].

Those with any hope of breaking the Fleshly Body Heavenly Pass are invariably possessors of a supreme-grade Path Body [a constitution aligned with a specific Dao path]. In other words, across the heavens, aside from those blessed with such supreme-grade constitutions, the hope for any other to break through to the Great Encompassing Realm [the realm of ultimate cosmic integration] is vanishingly slim.

Fortunately, as an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] cultivates their power and refines their essence, their physical body and bloodline naturally undergo a process of sublimation.

Take, for instance, Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Indestructibility Body [the Body of Primordial Unity and Unbreakability]. Cultivated by Eldrin Chen to its present state, it has already surpassed top-tier Immortal Body constitutions of the same realm, proving even mightier than Exquisite Jiang's own Supreme Lunar Immortal Body [the Body of the Supreme Lunar Immortal].

Any being capable of reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm must have already forged a Superior Grade Path Body as their foundation.

Such existences possess a significant capacity to reforge [to fundamentally reshape and strengthen] their own foundational essence. By continuously contemplating the power of the Innate Realm [the realm of primordial, pre-heaven energies] and integrating Innate Energy [primordial, pre-heaven spiritual energy] into their being, they can guide their physical forms through successive stages of metamorphosis.

For a Celestial Immortal, given sufficient innate comprehension, abundant resources, and transcendent talent, there remains a tangible possibility of cultivating an even stronger, top-tier Immortal Body.

However, for a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a mighty being within the Celestial Immortal Realm] seeking to mend and perfect their foundation, Innate Energy is an indispensable resource. Furthermore, it is said that even Innate Realm Great Powers require vast quantities of Innate Energy to attempt their own breakthroughs.

Thus, since time immemorial, Innate Energy has rarely, if ever, flowed into the hands of those at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal [the threshold stage just below the Celestial Immortal Realm] realm.

After all, Innate Energy [the primordial energy that forms the foundation of all things] is a treasure coveted even by Celestial Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm], so how could they bear to part with it to help others reverse their fate and attain Innate [the primordial, foundational state of being]?

In truth, within the Chen Immortal Clan, aside from Eldrin Chen, Exquisite Jiang, Nyssa Qu, and a few others, anyone else hoping to glimpse the Great Encompassing [the realm of boundless unity with the cosmos] in the future would likely need to expend a significant amount of Innate Energy.

The Indestructibility Golden Body [an unbreakable physical form] of Energy Abyss Chen, the Cycle of Life and Death Path Body [a constitution embodying the eternal cycle of creation and destruction] of Ethan Chen, the Violet Flame Immortal Body [a body forged in mystical violet flames] of Violet Consort Yan, the Frost Soul Immortal Body [a physique of ice and transcendent spirit] of Lila, and the Verdant Lotus Immortal Body [a body pure as an unsullied lotus] of the Verdant Consort—all these constitutions are Superior Grade Path Body [top-tier physical foundations] cultivated through Post-Heaven [effort and refinement after birth] means.

These Immortal Body [transcendent physical forms] are also immensely powerful, requiring far fewer resources than Eldrin Chen's path, yet they are not as easily attained as Exquisite Jiang's.

More crucially, for them to break through to the Great Encompassing Realm, they must refine their fleshly bodies to a level comparable to a top-tier Immortal Body like the Supreme Lunar Immortal Body [a physique of ultimate lunar purity and power]. Only then would they qualify to glimpse the Fleshly Body Heavenly Pass [the heavenly gate of physical ascension].

"Fortunately, the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a legendary pill that forges a body of primordial golden unity] possesses extraordinary efficacy and can still lend them a helping hand for now."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. He then expended a portion of Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with primordial spiritual essence] and four portions of Acquired Primordial Chaos Source Essence [essence derived from the primal chaos of the later heavens] to cultivate four Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot [shoots of golden bamboo containing the essence of primordial unity].

After completing this step, he arrived at the Flowing Fire Blessed Land [a land blessed with ever-flowing mystical flames] and began refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill.

Given Eldrin Chen's current cultivation base and alchemical prowess, his success rate in refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill was already high. With an ample supply of Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot on hand, he proceeded without restraint.

Thus, after merely a few hundred years, he successfully completed the first batch of Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill.

To his delight, the very first attempt at refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill yielded a successful batch of two pills.

"Two pills from a single cauldron. My current alchemy skill can be considered top-tier even among Eighth Rank Supreme Grade alchemists," Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a smile gracing his lips.

Although, considering the value of the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Shoot, producing only two pills per batch was technically a loss, Eldrin Chen was still immensely pleased.

After all, this breakthrough in alchemy would significantly increase his success rate for refining lower-tier elixirs.

Upon reflection, achieving two pills per batch was not entirely unexpected. Even when he was at the Seventh Level Earth Immortal realm, he had successfully refined the far more complex Pill of Polarity Enlightenment.

Now, with spiritual power rivaling a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, making him a formidable figure within the Primordial Unity Realm, such a success rate for this particular pill was well within reason.

Moreover, Eldrin Chen had a faint intuition that his potential yield for this elixir might be even higher.

With this thought, he immediately began a second refining session. Not long after, another batch of Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill was completed.

This time, the cauldron yielded a full three pills, bringing a look of profound satisfaction to Eldrin Chen's face. Three pills per batch—this output was enough to cover his costs and turn a profit.

It must be understood that many great alchemical powers of the Celestial Immortal Realm [the highest realm of cultivation, transcending mortality], when refining the Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill [a supreme pill for forging an indestructible golden physique] with Ninth Rank Alchemy [the pinnacle of alchemical arts], can only produce five or six pills at most from a single cauldron.

Successfully refining three pills from one cauldron immediately bolstered Eldrin Chen's confidence immensely.

He promptly began the third refinement without delay. As anticipated, this third cauldron yielded another three Immortal Pill [a pill of supreme quality, containing immense spiritual power].

By the time of the fourth refinement, Eldrin Chen gathered his momentum and, with a single concerted effort, produced four Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill, elevating his success rate to an even more formidable level.

"Four pills from one cauldron?"

Gazing at the final batch of Primordial Unity Golden Body Pill, a surge of wild joy filled Eldrin Chen's heart. His eyes gleamed with light as he murmured, "With my current alchemical skill, could I dare to attempt a breakthrough into the Ninth Rank [the ninth and highest tier of alchemical mastery]?"

Eldrin Chen whispered these words slowly, yet within a mere moment, a profound calm settled over him once more.

His present alchemical arts were indeed sufficient to attempt the Ninth Rank realm, though the likelihood of success hovered around fifty percent.

A single failure would mean all previous effort was wasted. Moreover, even if he succeeded, the yield would be, at most, a single pill.

Currently, within the Chen Immortal Clan [the immortal clan founded by the Chen family], there existed only two Ninth Rank immortal fruits, both of which were Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a legendary fruit that can elevate one's cultivation foundation to a primordial state] of the Ninth Rank realm.

The Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a supreme fruit that can elevate a cultivator's foundation to the Primordial Unity realm] possesses immeasurable value; each one is equivalent to three Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [a divine weapon forged for the Primordial Unity realm]. The loss of even a single plant would be utterly unacceptable to Eldrin Chen.

Furthermore, once a Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit breaks through to the Innate Realm [a state of primordial, heaven-endowed perfection], it can transform into an Innate Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a fruit of innate origin, even more potent than its ordinary counterpart].

And that Innate Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit serves as the primary ingredient for the Innate Primordial Unity Pill [a legendary pill that can solidify a Triple Primordial Unity foundation]. Just how precious, then, is the value of that Innate Primordial Unity Immortal Pill?

Within the current Chen Immortal Clan, aside from Eldrin Chen, Exquisite Jiang, and Nyssa Qu who benefits from her unique bloodline heritage, the chances for anyone else to successfully establish a Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme cultivation foundation combining three Primordial Unity powers] do not exceed fifty percent.

Verdant Consort has stepped into the Forbidden Domain [a legendary realm denoting extraordinary talent and foundation], which speaks to her exceptional foundation. She likely has about a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the three Primordial Unity Realm. With the aid of an Innate Primordial Unity Pill, her chances of success would rise to at least seventy percent.

If further combined with the Path Source [a source of pure Path energy] obtained during the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial] and other resources assisting in breakthrough, achieving the three supreme Primordial Unity Foundation would be virtually assured.

Lila and Violet Consort Yan fall somewhat short. Although both possess remarkable physical bodies, profound Path Principles [the fundamental laws of a cultivator's chosen Path], and formidable Path Fruit [the condensed essence of a cultivator's Path comprehension], they are not considered outstanding among their peers at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal level.

Their likelihood of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm might exceed seventy or eighty percent. However, their chances of cultivating the three Primordial Unity Foundation are only about twenty percent.

To truly reach the level of a Triple Primordial Unity Foundation, they would require rare treasures to enhance their inherent accumulated potential and must be assisted by precious Spiritual Object [objects imbued with spiritual power] during their breakthrough for it to be possible.

Only with an Innate Primordial Unity Pill, supplemented by items like the Path Source from the Great Tribulation, would they have a reasonable chance of successfully cultivating the three Primordial Unity Foundation.

For Ethan Chen, Kael Chen, Energy Abyss Chen, and others, obtaining the Innate Primordial Unity Pill [a supreme elixir that aids in forming the most perfect foundational cultivation state] would significantly increase their chances of successfully condensing the three types of Primordial Unity Foundation [the pinnacle foundational cultivation state, representing perfect unity and balance].

These individuals are not only Eldrin Chen's dao companions and clan members but also invaluable assets to his cause.

It must be understood that since Eldrin Chen set foot in the Immortal Domain, his ability to overcome countless trials has not solely relied on his own exceptional talent. A great part of his success stems from the steadfast support of his several dao companions.

In numerous great battles, these individuals have contributed immense strength. Without them, Eldrin Chen, fighting alone, might have long since fallen beneath the combined assaults of powerful foes.

Even if he had survived, his accomplishments would surely have been far fewer.

Should these few succeed in cultivating the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a legendary, triply-perfected foundational state] and ascend to the Celestial Immortal Realm, each would become a formidable figure among Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful beings within the Celestial Immortal realm], capable of providing Eldrin Chen with even greater assistance.

Given this, the Innate Primordial Unity Pill is indispensable. How to best utilize these two stalks of Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a celestial fruit containing the essence of primordial unity] is of paramount importance, a cornerstone upon which the rise of the Chen Immortal Clan hinges.
