Chapter 1727 : Ascension of the Alliance
Furthermore, apart from the members of the Chen Clan, the allies of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance also reaped extraordinarily bountiful harvests.
Among those who achieved the Forbidden Realm was one individual: Separated Flame Deity. Now, having attained the Forbidden Realm, Separated Flame Deity had forged their Flawless Celestial Immortal [a perfect state of immortality] foundation upon the Southern Brightness Sunfire [a divine flame of the southern brilliance], their combat prowess nearly rivaling that of a Mid Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator.
As for those who achieved the Triple Taiyi Foundation [a supreme foundation built upon the three primordial principles], their numbers were far greater.
Within the Abyssal Immortal Alliance, figures such as Divine Lord Glaze, Zixuan the Daoist, Lin Tianqi, Sky Abyss Daoist, and Ancient Ruins Yin Lord seized this opportunity to rebuild their foundations, successfully cultivating the Triple Taiyi Foundation and attaining the flawless Heaven Immortal Realm.
Others like Qixuan the Daoist, the Master of the Dao Palace, and the Void-Refining Immortal also reforged their foundations, experiencing a tremendous increase in their Deep-Seated Foundation [the innate potential and quality of a cultivator's core]. Although they did not achieve the Triple Taiyi Foundation, they still managed to break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm.
Old friends like Varen Wei and Maris the Sea Steader, along with close kin such as Elara Lin, Dorian Ji, and Freya Ji, with the additional support from Eldrin Chen, barely managed to cultivate a flawed Heaven Immortal Realm.
Figures like Solara, Luna, the Consort, and Stella also used this chance to attain the flawed Heaven Immortal Realm.
For those who cultivated the Dual Taiyi Foundation [a foundation built upon two primordial principles], their innate talents had more or less reached their limits. Their breakthrough was primarily due to Eldrin Chen bestowing upon them the Innate Reincarnation Fruit [a fruit of heaven-defying quality that can grant a new life cycle].
By using the Reincarnation Fruit to undergo one cycle of Reincarnation [the cycle of death and rebirth], merging the Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path] of two lifetimes, supplemented by various treasures and the foundation-reforging power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation, and further aided by the breakthrough-enhancing effects of the Innate Yin-Yang Dao Union Pot [a primordial cauldron that harmonizes the forces of Yin and Yang], they barely managed to cultivate the Heaven Immortal Realm. However, this marked the end of their road.
Their potential was exhausted. Unless they encountered a heaven-defying, destiny-altering opportunity of immense magnitude, their future path would likely halt at the Heaven Immortal Realm. Support the author by reading on audio - novel . com.
In truth, the fact that they were able to reshape their foundations within the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation [a legendary defensive formation of immense power], leveraging the tribulation fate and Creation [the primordial force of genesis and destiny] of the entire Immortal Domain [a vast realm where immortals dwell] to elevate their own potential limits, was in itself a heaven-defying opportunity to alter destiny.
If they wish to defy fate again in the future, they would either have to completely abandon their current Dao Fruit [the culmination of one's cultivation path, representing one's achieved realm] and start anew, or obtain opportunities a hundred or a thousand times greater.
Nevertheless, their breakthrough into the Heaven Immortal Realm [a high immortal realm where one begins to comprehend heavenly laws] remains a cause for celebration.
Among Eldrin Chen's close in-laws and Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for fellow cultivators], those like Six Stars Immortal, Skywind the Immortal, and Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor who broke through to Earth Immortal [an immortal realm focused on earthly foundations] earlier had all opened Heavenly Layers [the foundational layers of one's immortal cultivation] below the Sixfold Heavens [a benchmark representing six foundational heavenly layers].
Even with such a rare opportunity, they could only progress to the Late Stage Earth Immortal [the final phase of the Earth Immortal realm] and could advance no further.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen withdrew his contemplations. He looked at the assembled group and spoke with a faint smile, "It seems this opportunity has yielded significant gains for all of you."
"Our breakthroughs are entirely due to Brother Eldrin's support."
At that moment, smiles graced everyone's faces as they offered solemn, deep bows of gratitude.
Eldrin Chen accepted this gesture with composure. He understood clearly in his heart that had myself not taken action to sweep through the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [a specific immortal realm under the vast azure sky], merely surviving the Dao Tribulation [the heavenly trials and calamities faced by cultivators] would have been considered good fortune for these individuals.
To obtain such a chance was akin to experiencing a single, profound act of defying heaven and rewriting fate.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke with a gentle smile, "It has been ninety thousand years since the Dao Tribulation [the great cosmic calamity that reshapes the heavens and the earth] erupted. Only ten thousand years remain until its conclusion."
"Now, as the Tribulation Qi [the chaotic and destructive energy of the great calamity] within the Heavenly Layers [the stratified realms of heaven] gradually dissipates, I intend to seize this opportunity to gather the power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation [the supreme divine art of creation derived from the thirty-three heavenly layers] and Creation [the fundamental act of bringing new worlds into being] several Grotto-Heaven and Abode of Bliss [self-contained paradisiacal realms of immense spiritual power]."
Upon hearing this, the assembled group exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of surprise and contemplation.
Divine Lord Glaze could not help but rise to her feet, inquiring eagerly, "Is there any way we might assist in this endeavor?"
Eldrin Chen offered a serene smile and explained, "I plan to utilize the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation [a grand cosmic formation that channels the power of the thirty-three heavens] to converge the Creation Power [the primordial force of genesis]. For this, I will require the aid of thirty-three Heavenly Immortal Paragon [cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal realm]."
His words brought clarity, and understanding settled within the hearts of all present.
Qixuan the Daoist nodded solemnly and declared, "Since this is the request of our esteemed Fellow Daoist [a respectful title for a fellow cultivator], we shall naturally offer our full assistance."
"So be it."
Eldrin Chen smiled reassuringly and continued, "Set your minds at ease. The power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation is boundless, sufficient to Creation numerous Supreme Grotto-Heaven [the highest grade of paradisiacal realms]."
"When the time comes, I shall also take action to Creation a Grotto-Heaven for each of you."
Hearing this, everyone's hearts surged with wild joy. They cupped their hands in unison and said, "Then we offer our deepest thanks, Fellow Daoist."
After deciding to use the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation to Creation [the fundamental creative force of the cosmos] a Supreme Grotto-Heaven [a supreme-tier pocket dimension and cultivation paradise], the entire Abyssal Immortal Alliance sprang into action.
The Azure Firmament Immortal Domain was currently at the zenith of its World's Primordial Qi [the foundational, life-giving energy of the world]. Countless Demon Immortal [immortals of the demonic path] and Divine Spirits [deified beings of immense power] had fallen, their demise Creation forth boundless Mysterious Profound [profound and mysterious spiritual energies].
The thirty-three Heavenly Immortal Paragon [peak-level Heavenly Immortals] of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance joined forces. Utilizing the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens Grand Formation, they seized the Creation from the Heavenly Layers [the stratified celestial realms] and converged it within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, coalescing a Supreme Grotto-Heaven.
Swiftly, the boundless primordial energies between the Heavenly Layers flowed toward the Abyssal Sea Region, ultimately vanishing into the depths of the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven.
As time flowed, the primordial energy within the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven surged violently. Its grade soared at a breathtaking pace, ascending in a mere instant to become a Mid Grade Grotto-Heaven [a mid-tier pocket dimension]. For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel.com (official site).
Yet this was not the end. The rank of the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven continued its relentless climb, soon breaking through into the ranks of a High Grade Grotto-Heaven [a high-tier pocket dimension].
A Low Grade Grotto-Heaven [a low-tier pocket dimension] could only sustain the cultivation of three Early Celestial Immortal Realm [early-stage Celestial Immortals]. A Mid Grade Grotto-Heaven could nourish ten, while a High Grade Grotto-Heaven could support the secluded cultivation of at least thirty Heavenly Immortal Paragon.
Within the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, there were barely more than forty High Grade Grotto-Heaven. Each was a hegemon-level power, their ascension cultivated over hundreds of millions of years and the expenditure of incalculable rare treasures.
It was only by leveraging the power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation to plunder the infinite Creation from the Thirty-Three Heavenly Domains that Eldrin Chen had propelled it to the realm of a High Grade Grotto-Heaven.
Even so, Eldrin Chen found it insufficient to meet his needs.
"It is still not enough."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly. The dozen or so Flawless Celestial Immortal of the Chen Immortal Clan each consumed Immortal Spirit Qi [the highest grade of spiritual energy used by Celestial Immortals] at a rate several times greater than an ordinary Early Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator.
The Immortal Spirit Qi provided by a single High Grade Grotto-Heaven [a high-tier pocket dimension or paradise for cultivation] was fundamentally inadequate for their cultivation needs.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately intensified the Formation [a mystical array or formation], focusing its draw on the Southern Pole Six Heavens Domain and the Verdant Sun Heaven Domain—hostile Creation [the fundamental creative force or destiny of a realm]—intending to elevate the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven to an even higher level.
"You insolent whelp!"
Watching the World's Primordial Qi [the primordial life-force energy of a world] and Creation of his territory being siphoned away in vast quantities, the golden figure within the Golden Crow Grotto-Heaven trembled with rage, unleashing waves of palpable killing intent.
If Eldrin Chen continued his plunder like this, for the next ten million years, the World's Primordial Qi of the Southern Pole Six Heavens Domain would remain depleted, its cultivation environment falling far behind that of the other heavenly domains.
In ordinary times, a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme expert at the Heavenly Immortal realm] would have descended long ago to put a stop to it. But now, with the Dao Tribulation [a great cosmic calamity or trial of the Dao] not yet concluded, they could only watch helplessly as Eldrin Chen drained away immense quantities of Creation.
With the aid of the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation, Eldrin Chen continued his relentless extraction. Only when the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven had been elevated to its absolute zenith did he finally cease.
"The concentration of Immortal Spirit Qi [a supreme-grade spiritual energy used by high-level immortals] is three times that of an ordinary High Grade Grotto-Heaven [a high-tier pocket dimension or paradise for cultivation]."
"It should be sufficient to support the cultivation of one hundred Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm] cultivators, or nine Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the advanced stage of the Heaven Immortal cultivation realm] cultivators. For now, this is enough."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, ultimately ceasing his extraction of Heavenly Layers [the stratified planes of heaven] and Creation [the primordial force of creation and destiny].
This was because the grade of the Abyssal Heaven [the name of Eldrin Chen's personal grotto-heaven] had already reached the absolute limit of a High Grade Grotto-Heaven. The next step would be its ascension to a Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven [the pinnacle tier of pocket dimensions].
Yet, within the vast expanse of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the overarching immortal realm where the story takes place], there existed only five such Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven: the Golden Crow Grotto-Heaven, the Verdant Sun Grotto-Heaven, the Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven, the Evergreen Grotto-Heaven, and the Frost Soul Grotto-Heaven.
