Chapter 1523 : The Great Rules Vehicle

To return to our story, after successfully concocting 3 cauldrons of Dragon Phoenix Ascension Pills, Eldrin's alchemical prowess had advanced by leaps and bounds.

He stored away the Dragon Phoenix Ascension Pill, then distributed it among 8 Earth Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan including Lyra (Person Name) and Qing Ji. "Go ahead and breakthrough your cultivation realms first," he instructed. "We'll discuss everything after you emerge from seclusion."

"Very well."

Lyra and the others retrieved the Dragon Phoenix Ascension Pills, then immediately entered secluded cultivation.

Seeing that everyone had gone into seclusion, Eldrin finally took out a dazzling bottle of 9 Heavens Stardust.

Within the precious vase before him lay star after star, collected by the Chen Immortal Clan from the miniature cosmos of the mortal realm. Their numbers reached 1 100 million, theoretically sufficient to refine 30 vials of Galaxy Starfall Elixir—a treasure valued at over 3,000,000 immortal origins.

However, Eldrin had obtained this item not to refine the Galaxy Star Sand Elixir, but to concoct the eighth-grade supreme immortal pill, 'Star Sea Origin-Replenishing Pill'.

This elixir, forged from the essence of boundless stars, brims with overwhelmingly majestic energy. It is said that even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal can restore 50 percent of their spiritual power upon consuming it. While considered the lowest grade among the supreme eighth-tier immortal pills, its refinement difficulty remains the least demanding within its tier.

At present, Eldrin’s primary goal in refining this elixir was not merely to obtain an eighth-grade supreme immortal pill, but to elevate his own alchemical skills. Given his current mastery of pill refinement, the Stellar Sea Essence Restoration Pill was undoubtedly the optimal choice for breaking through his bottleneck.

He harnessed the power of the underground fire vein and swiftly refined those hundreds of millions of stars. After approximately 3 100 years, he finally forged them into a furnace of dazzling treasure pills, shimmering like the starry sky.

It is done.

Gazing at the Starsea Restoration Pill before him, Eldrin felt a slight sense of reassurance in his heart.

The Star Sea Restoration Pill contained no overly profound Dao patterns within, nor did it aim to enhance cultivation. Its sole purpose was to refine the boundless starry sky into a single pill, serving as a source of energy to replenish spiritual power. Thus, the difficulty of its refinement was not particularly high.

Generally speaking, a seasoned eighth-rank high-grade Alchemist would have at least a 20 to 30 percent chance of success when refining this pill to break through to the eighth-rank supreme-grade.

Eldrin's alchemy skills were already among the pinnacle of eighth-tier master alchemists, even faintly transcending that realm. This time, while refining a batch of Star Sea Spirit Restoration Pills, he successfully produced a full 2 pills from a single cauldron.

Although this was partly due to the relatively low difficulty of refining the Sea of Stars Primordial Restoration Pill, it clearly demonstrated Eldrin's extraordinary alchemical prowess.

Most crucially, after refining the Star Sea Origin-Replenishing Elixir, Eldrin faintly sensed a deeper comprehension of his alchemical arts—he had now truly mastered the refinement of genuine eighth-rank supreme-grade elixirs.

Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object)

At this thought, Eldrin retrieved the Heaven-Piercing Purity and Netherworld Turbidity from his sleeve.

Gazing upon the 2 supremely precious, peerless celestial treasures, a faint crease formed between Eldrin's brows.

The Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) was a supreme treasure pill for comprehending the principles of the Great Taiyi. It was said that once this pill was consumed, an Earth Immortal Patriarch could enter a state of celestial communion. At that moment, the Earth Immortal's comprehension of the laws and the Great Dao would undergo an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

Eldrin had now broken through to the seventh level of Earth Immortal realm, yet his comprehension of the Dao Rules remained incomplete, still far from the Great Perfection stage. Thus, he sought to refine this elixir, hoping to perfect his own path of Dao Rules in 1 decisive endeavor.

However, the difficulty of refining the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) was far beyond what could be compared to the Stellar Sea Essence-Replenishing Elixir.

Even though Eldrin's alchemy skills had now achieved a breakthrough, he still didn't have complete confidence.

Without the opportunity from the microcosm, Eldrin would certainly not be willing to refine this pill now. After all, once he broke through to the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortal, his success rate in refining this pill would undoubtedly see a significant improvement.

Currently, in refining this elixir, his success rate was extremely low, with a high probability of failure.

But the opportunity of the minor universe was right before his eyes. Eldrin had already sensed his own lack of strength. If he could advance further and perfect his mastery of the Law to the Great Perfection realm, he might be able to seize even greater opportunities.

"A single Yang World miniature cosmos is more than worth the risk for me."

As these thoughts drifted through his mind, Eldrin finally made his decision.

After regulating his breath for a moment, he channeled the Heaven-Piercing Purity and Netherworld Turbidity into the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron.

This Heavenly Purity Qi and Netherworld Turbid Qi were both the lightest substances between heaven and earth,

They were neither immortal gold rarities, nor were they refined through conventional methods for immortal pills. They required no exceptionally potent flames for their creation and even omitted the smelting process.

Eldrin simultaneously channeled the Profound Abyssal Truewater and the Pure Yang Celestial Fire, transforming them into the power of Yin and Yang principles to propel the 2 supreme treasures, causing them to rotate ceaselessly. Thus, after over 9 100 years, the Heavenly Purity Qi and the Netherworld Turbid Qi gradually merged, ultimately forming a treasure pill resembling the Taiji Yin-Yang symbol. "Hah."

Seeing the elixir successfully refined, Eldrin slowly let out a breath of relief.

Although only a single precious pill had been successfully refined this time, it was an invaluable Enlightenment Elixir—a treasure that would make countless half-step Celestial Immortals covet it with burning desire. Eldrin snatched it into his palm, his heart swelling with mounting exhilaration as he contemplated the immeasurable worth of this divine pill.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swallowed the Yin Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object).

To be fair, consuming a precious pill that increased 1's chances of comprehending the Great Unity Dao Principles—solely to perfect 1's own foundational rules—was an extreme waste of resources. Even Eldrin felt a pang of heartache at such profligacy.

But the moment Eldrin swallowed the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill, he instantly abandoned that thought. "Heaven and Earth resonate."

For in that fleeting moment, Eldrin felt the heavens and earth spin wildly as his very soul soared into the boundless firmament, resonating with the heavenly principles of the Vastblue Immortal Domain. In that single breath of time, 10 1000 grand daos and a 100 million cosmic laws unveiled themselves before his eyes without reservation.

Thereupon, Eldrin fell into a state of sudden enlightenment.

Seizing the opportunity of heaven and earth's resonance, he began to comprehend the power of the Primordial Chaos and Infinite Dao.

In the blink of an eye, the Pure Yang Heavenly Flame Dao Principle advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming the first to achieve a state of flawless perfection. Close on its heels, the Dao Principles of the Primordial Earth of All Things, the Primordial Chaos Gold, the Profound Darkness True Water, and the Seed of Life all reached completion 1 after another.

Amidst the rotation of the 5 elements, Eldrin seized the opportunity to comprehend the Taiyi Dao Patterns upon the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, swiftly mastering all 3 patterns completely.

Yet that final step—the crucial moment of merging the 3 Great Primordial Dao Runes into 1—seemed to bar his path like an insurmountable chasm, preventing him from achieving the ultimate breakthrough.

"Your cultivation base is insufficient, and your accumulation is lacking."

"Without the complete Pure Yang Celestial Flame Great Empyrean Dao Principle as reference, taking that final step remains exceedingly difficult." Eldrin murmured inwardly, sensing the state of cosmic resonance gradually fading away.

The Great Dao of Pure Yang Celestial Flame was far too potent and ancient; even within the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, no such Dao law existed.

You must understand that the Great Dao is profoundly mysterious and unfathomable. Countless individuals have sought to comprehend it, yet even with readily available Dao pattern runes to trace and emulate, few can achieve true enlightenment, let alone grasp and deduce a complete Great Dao from nothingness.

Eldrin (Person Name) had only recently reached the late-stage Earth Immortal realm. Entrusting him with the task of deducing and refining the Dao Principles of the Pure Yang Heavenly Flames ultimately proved overly demanding due to his still-limited accumulation.
