Chapter 1597 : Forging the Primordial Unity Mirror
Eldrin Chen dared not attempt the advancement of an Innate Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the fundamental laws of the cosmos] within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. This Five Elements Small Universe [a miniature cosmos governed by the five elemental forces] was, therefore, the optimal choice for such an endeavor.
Having received the assent of this Universe's Heavenly Path [the cosmic consciousness or governing principle of this realm], Eldrin Chen did not hesitate. He immediately set about the task of elevating the Polarity Void Mirror.
Refining a material like Ancient Firmament Gold [a primordial metal of immense durability and spiritual conductivity] for a Primordial Unity Immortal Artifact [an artifact embodying the unified state of primordial chaos] was an immensely difficult feat. However, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame [a supreme flame born from the essence of the primordial sun] had already reached the Primordial Unity Realm [a state of cultivation where all energies return to their unified, primordial source]. Bolstered further by the support of this Universe's Heavenly Path, the refinement process proceeded with surprising smoothness.
After a mere few thousand years, Eldrin Chen had completely fused the Ancient Firmament Gold into the very fabric of the Polarity Void Mirror.
Thereafter, Eldrin Chen exhaled a wisp of Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the foundational violet energy of creation, inherent to chaos] and guided it to merge with the Polarity Void Mirror.
"*Hummm—*"
As the Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura integrated, the Polarity Void Mirror shimmered, its light trembling faintly. Within its depths, four distinct Primordial Unity Path Patterns [the fundamental law inscriptions of a Primordial Unity artifact] quivered in resonance before slowly converging and fusing into one, transforming into a single, profoundly mysterious Primordial Unity Path Principle [the unified law principle governing the artifact].
Subsequently, the Polarity Void Mirror began to ceaselessly draw upon the essence of metals and the Universe's own Polarity Dual Energy [the complementary energies of yin and yang, light and dark]. As time flowed onward, that singular Primordial Unity Path Principle continuously evolved, ultimately undergoing a profound reversal to reach the Innate Realm [the realm of treasures born from the world's fundamental laws], crystallizing into two distinct Innate Path Patterns [the fundamental law inscriptions unique to an Innate Treasure].
"A Low-Grade Innate Treasure."
"And one possessing two Innate Path Patterns at that."
Gazing upon the successfully ascended Polarity Void Mirror, Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a glimmer of pleasant surprise lighting up his eyes.
Having cultivated to this point, Eldrin Chen possessed a clear understanding of the classifications of Innate Treasure [treasures born from the primordial chaos, containing innate laws of the cosmos].
So-called Low-Grade Innate Treasure generally possessed a single Innate Path Patterns [innate divine patterns that embody a fundamental law or power of the universe].
Middle-Grade Innate Treasure were far more formidable, containing three such Innate Path Patterns within them.
Upper Grade Innate Treasure were even more astonishing. The divine patterns within such treasures were profoundly arcane, containing a full nine Innate Path Patterns.
Generally speaking, each additional Innate Path Patterns required the consumption of one portion of Innate Energy [primordial energy from the dawn of creation] to successfully manifest.
Therefore, forging a Middle-Grade Innate Treasure required three portions of Innate Energy, while an Upper Grade Innate Treasure demanded a full nine.
It was precisely for this reason that the value of an Upper Grade Innate Treasure started at least ten times that of a Low-Grade Innate Treasure.
The fact that Eldrin Chen's Polarity Void Mirror had given birth to two Innate Path Patterns after absorbing only a single wisp of Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade energy born from the primal chaos, tinged with violet radiance] was significant. It not only signified that the Polarity Void Mirror's power was greater.
It also meant that, in a certain sense, one wisp of Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura could be considered equivalent to two portions of ordinary Innate Energy.
"The Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme, primordial energy born from the chaos before creation], it truly is profound and wondrous."
Having grasped the profound mysteries of the Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, a flicker of joy arose within Eldrin Chen's heart.
He suppressed his wandering thoughts and then summoned the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical mirror embodying the principles of polarity and void] into his hand. After a period of deep observation, he discovered that the Innate Path Patterns [the fundamental, heaven-bestowed patterns of power within the treasure] contained within were incredibly profound and esoteric, faintly shimmering with traces of Ascendant Immortal Radiance [a radiant, transcendent light associated with immortal ascension].
"Three 'Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [a supreme, heaven-defying technique or power].'"
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a subtle gleam lighting his eyes.
This Polarity Void Mirror was a special multi-attribute Innate Treasure [a treasure born from heaven and earth, possessing innate, unchangeable properties]. It possessed the power to rend the void, suppress heaven and earth, and also held formidable offensive capabilities.
However, its true strength lay in the three Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [Divine Abilities of the highest, most mysterious grade] contained within.
These three Divine Ability were named: 'Void Cosmos Heaven-Treading Escape' [an escape art that allows one to tread the heavens within the void cosmos]. This movement art could ignore the suppressive forces of heaven and earth, allowing one to wander freely within the Endless Dimensional Space [the boundless, layered spaces between realms].
With the exception of the Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation] where the Primordial Chaos [the primordial, formless energy of creation] had not yet opened, Eldrin Chen could rely on this Divine Ability to come and go without a trace, wandering unseen through the myriad realms of the Myriad Heavens [the countless heavens and worlds of existence].
The second Divine Ability was named 'Polarity Primordial Magnetism Universe Starlight' [a stellar light born from the polarity of primordial magnetic forces]. This Divine Ability was the primary Slaughter [killing, offensive] Divine Ability of the Polarity Void Mirror.
This Divine Ability [a powerful supernatural technique] possesses two methods of activation: Reverse Activation and Forward Activation.
When employing the Forward Activation method, it can draw in all things between heaven and earth, and may even seize a powerful foe's Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the world's primal energies, bound to its wielder's soul].
The Reverse Activation method, however, unleashes a profound Slaughter [a divine ability of pure destructive power], a Great God Ability [a supreme technique of divine might].
When powered to its utmost by the Innate Dual-Polarity Void Mirror [a mirror born of primal void and polarity], its Slaughter force is potent enough to disintegrate all creation. Even a Celestial Immortal Great Power [an immortal of immense power who has ascended to the celestial realm] would face the peril of annihilation from a single strike.
Yet, such a Divine Ability consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Only Innate Dharmic Power [the primordial, innate spiritual power of a cultivator] can sustain its repeated use. With his current Acquired Dharmic Power [spiritual power cultivated and refined after birth], Eldrin Chen estimated he could likely activate it only three times before his spiritual energy was completely depleted.
And this was only possible because this treasure was his Lifebound Innate Treasure. If it were an ordinary Innate Treasure, Eldrin Chen feared a single activation would drain him utterly.
The third Divine Ability was the 'Void Cosmos Heavenly Domain' [a heavenly domain of boundless void and cosmos]. Once activated, this Divine Ability would manifest a vast Heavenly Domain [a realm of divine law and power], sealing off the boundless heavens and earth.
Against entities with formidable escape techniques, this ability would be their ultimate bane.
"Three profound Divine Ability, augmented by the might of an Innate Treasure."
"With this Innate Dual-Polarity Void Mirror, my means of survival have finally been greatly enhanced."
After comprehending the power of the Polarity Void Mirror [a mystical artifact capable of manipulating the fundamental forces of void and polarity], Eldrin Chen could not help but smile faintly.
At this moment, Exquisite Jiang, Nyssa Qu, and the others were also alerted by the commotion of Eldrin Chen advancing the Polarity Void Mirror, and they flew out one after another.
Ethan Chen looked at Eldrin Chen with delight and said joyfully, "With this Innate Dual-Polarity Void Mirror [an innate-grade treasure born from the convergence of opposing void forces], Uncle Eldrin, you should now possess the strength to contend even against a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a formidable cultivator who has ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm]."
Eldrin Chen gave a slight smile, then shook his head. "I dare not claim to be a match for a Celestial Immortal Great Power, but against an existence at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm], I should at least have the ability to protect myself."
"Boom—"
Right at that moment, a thunderous roar erupted from the Depths of the Starry Sky [the profound and distant reaches of the cosmos] within the Small Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or miniature cosmos].
A figure akin to a deity strode forth from those depths. Ten suns whirled behind him before merging into a dazzling golden form, causing his Immortality Golden Body [a divine physique forged to achieve eternal life and resilience] to radiate with a searing, Immortality [the state of eternal life and indestructibility] golden light.
The newcomer was Energy Abyss Chen. Having just broken through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm [a transitional state just below the full Celestial Immortal realm], he looked at Eldrin Chen's Innate Dual-Polarity Void Mirror and said, "With such a treasure in hand, even some of the Forbidden Land [dangerous and restricted regions shrouded in mystery] within the Immortal Domain [the vast realm where immortals dwell] are now within your reach."
Eldrin Chen's eyes gleamed with light as he regarded Energy Abyss Chen. "Patriarch, the transformation of your Immortality Golden Body must now rival a top-tier Immortal Body [a supreme physical constitution possessed by powerful immortals]."
Hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.
The Eastern Sovereign Patriarch truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless genius of the Fleshly Body Sanctification path. He has advanced the Crimson Sun Ascension to Heaven Path to the Primordial Unity Realm, comprehended the Solar Body Refining Great Art, and fused it with the Immortality Golden Body.
This Indestructibility Golden Body ranks among the very pinnacle of Primordial Unity Immortal Body constitutions, greatly increasing his chances of cultivating a Top Grade Innate Physique in the future.
As long as he continues his cultivation and absorbs sufficient Innate Energy, perhaps the Fleshly Body Pass within the Great Encompassing Heavenly Pass will pose no great difficulty for Energy Abyss Chen.
"It is but a minor gain, far less astonishing than your own Creation [the act of bringing something into existence from nothingness]," Energy Abyss Chen spoke calmly, his tone serene.
Energy Abyss Chen spoke with a calm and measured tone.
Upon the Supreme Subtlety Stellar within the Depths of the Starry Sky, another powerful aura erupted.
Kael Chen emerged from the Depths of the Starry Sky, clad in black robes, yet with a halo of Buddha's light radiating from behind his head, resembling a compassionate Enlightened One [a being who has attained supreme enlightenment].
His bearing was transcendent, akin to a Daoist True Lord [a high-ranking immortal official] descending to the mortal realm.
Yet within his pupils lay a profound abyss, deep and unfathomable like that of a mighty demon lord.
These three distinct auras merged into one, carrying an eerie quality yet harmonizing perfectly, as if they were a single, indescribable existence of threefold nature.
"Buddha and Demon are one, the Path and the Demon have converged. Elder Brother Kael grows ever more profound and unfathomable."
Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a vague intuition stirring within him.
In this moment, Kael Chen seemed to have stepped into an indescribable realm, forging a path unprecedented.
