Chapter 1525 : Profound Mysteries of the Great Vehicle

"It seems only the tough nuts remain in this miniature cosmos." Having grasped the shifting dynamics within the pocket universe, Eldrin fell into contemplative silence.

Within the current Small Universe, aside from the few superpowers that remained unconquerable, the rest consisted of countless billions of stars. That sea of stars represented an exceptionally abundant resource.

After much deliberation, however, Eldrin spoke up: "Within the Netherworld Small Universe, there still remain numerous hundreds of millions of stars."

"However, having just broken through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, our strength still has considerable room for improvement. Rather than chasing after the countless stars scattered across the heavens, we should focus on consolidating our power and await future confrontations with the major factions."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Lyra gazed into the depths of the starry sky and murmured thoughtfully, "Indeed. Only when most stars within the small universe have been claimed will we face a true trial by fire."

Daoist Zixuan, however, remained utterly composed. With serene tranquility, he stated, "You shall remain in the Netherworld Microcosm to consolidate your cultivation. I shall personally venture into the Yang Realm Microcosm."

Liuli Shenjun also nodded and said calmly, "I shall make the journey as well."

Eldrin understood that the 2 intended to seize this opportunity to harvest billions of stars within the mortal cosmos, refining them into the Galaxy Starfall Pills.

After all, the resources among these myriad stars were countless. With their combined strength, seizing the greatest opportunity would likely allow them to acquire several 1000 star tokens in 1 fell swoop.

As long as they refrained from attacking several super-grade blessed lands, their self-preservation would be more than sufficient.

At this thought, Eldrin cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I wish you both well." "I will."

Numinous Sovereign Liuli nodded calmly and spoke in a placid tone.

After the 2 had departed, the rest remained within the Netherworld Small Universe, resuming their secluded cultivation. In the days that followed, the Earth Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan all began consolidating their cultivation bases.

This time, having broken through to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, although their magical power foundations had already reached perfection comparable to the ninth level of Earth Immortal, their divine abilities and immortal treasures had yet to achieve completion.

At this moment, the true great battle within the small universe had yet to commence—this was precisely the time for them to consolidate their cultivation and strengthen their methods.

Cultivating divine abilities and refining 1's Natal Immortal Treasures demanded the consumption of precious resources and vast quantities of materials. Fortunately, the Chen Clan Immortals of this era were not lacking in resources.

Since the Great Cataclysm, the various Earth Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had successively participated in the Abyssal Sea of Purgatory, the assault on the Flowing Fire Star Palace, the invasion of the Nether Minor Universe, and the battle for the Yang Realm Minor Universe.

In these several battles, the Earth Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) successively vanquished all foes, achieving truly monumental feats.

In the previous battle at the Ancient Ice Phoenix Star, the Earth Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had contributed immensely, with each slaying at least a dozen or so Demon Saints.

It could be said that the resources allocated through merit exchange from the harvest of the Frostwind Ancient Star alone were more than sufficient to sustain their cultivation all the way to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm.

Thus, everyone now had no shortage of resources to advance their Natal Immortal Treasures and cultivate divine abilities. Even Eldrin had gathered all the resources needed to bring his Natal Divine Ability to perfection.

Amid such abundant resources, everyone's abilities advanced by leaps and bounds. In almost no time, they had successfully elevated both their Natal Immortal Treasures and divine abilities.

Eldrin was no exception. In just 1 1000 years, he had cultivated his innate divine ability, Primordial Chaos Unity, to the Great Perfection realm.

Another 3 1000 years passed, and both the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder and the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Light successively reached the Perfection Stage. After these 3 Profound-level divine abilities had been cultivated to perfection, Eldrin’s combat prowess underwent an even greater transformation.

Taking the Primordial Chaos Unity Qi as an example, its Primordial Chaos Unity Qi True Aura possessed defensive capabilities comparable to a Chaos Treasure, while the Primordial Chaos Unity Qi Grasping Hand could deliver a strike rivaling that of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

The destructive power of the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder now rivaled the innate divine abilities of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, while the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Light had become potent enough to restrain even a Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure.

"Now that my divine abilities have reached the Great Perfection stage, though my combat power still falls far short of dual Taiyi foundations, I should be able to hold my own against Glazed Divine Lord."

Eldrin murmured softly, the immense enhancement of such profound divine abilities had greatly elevated his combat prowess. He estimated that his current strength now placed him among the more formidable Quasi-Celestials.

However, since the world of an Earth Immortal could not compare to the vastness of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, Eldrin would still fall short against a Half-Step Celestial Immortal in a prolonged battle.

Fortunately, he possessed the True Dragon Outer Core, an artifact of world-sundering grade, capable of storing magic power comparable to that of a Great Perfection Earth Immortal—thus resolving this monumental challenge.

After roughly assessing his combat prowess, Eldrin felt a slight sense of reassurance.

At this stage, Eldrin found his combat prowess had reached a bottleneck.

After reaching the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, further advancement had become exceedingly slow. It was impossible for Eldrin (Person Name) to break through to the eighth level of the Earth Immortal realm within a short period of time.

With the laws, physical body, and Dao Fruit all perfected, the next step was to ascend to the Taiyi Realm—a leap that was incomparably arduous.

With the aid of the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi, the Natal Immortal Treasure could indeed advance further. However, for it to swiftly ascend to the level of a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, it would require integration with a supreme-grade Heaven-Opening Immortal Marvel to enhance its foundational essence.

Eldrin pondered the matter over and over, only to realize he could make no further progress in such a short time.

He then settled his mind and began circulating the Great Perfection realm's Primordial Chaos rules, commencing the refinement of his 5 life-bound treasures.

Another 1000 years passed in the blink of an eye. He had completely polished away all the heterogeneous Dao patterns within his Natal Immortal Treasure. Having accomplished this, Eldrin noticed his companions were still cultivating divine abilities and refining their immortal treasures. Restlessness stirred in his tranquil heart, and he stepped into the miniature Yang Universe.

Eldrin's primary purpose for entering this Yang Realm Microcosm was not to gather hundreds of millions of star cores, but to fulfill a promise.

Back in the day, Eldrin had promised the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits that he would offer shelter to some of the spirit tribes within the Nether Cosmos. Over the years, he had already provided refuge to quite a few.

However, since it was merely a byproduct of the acquisition, only a handful of spirit clans were taken away.

Eldrin, having finally found a moment of respite, stepped into the Endless Microcosm to begin guiding the humans and spirit folk.

In the time that followed, Eldrin journeyed through the endless small universes, continuously guiding beings from the human race and the spirit race. Before long, thousands of years had passed.

Over these thousands of years, he had traversed dozens of galactic systems, guiding countless hundreds of millions of humans—among them even several dozen spirit folk.

The Spirit Tribe were manifestations of spiritual roots, beings so exceedingly rare that their numbers across the entire minor cosmos amounted to merely a few 1000. Most of them were concentrated within the Spirit Tribe Star Domain.

Without having to journey to the Spirit Race's star domain, Eldrin was able to summon a dozen or so spirit beings in a single attempt—a feat that should suffice to give an account to the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor.

That day, Eldrin had just departed from a Star City when he noticed the starlight within his small universe had grown noticeably dimmer. Evidently, a vast number of stars had already been harvested.

And as these countless stars were plundered, the calamity qi in the cosmos seemed to grow ever more dense.
