Chapter 1754 : The Embryonic Dao of Primordial Chaos

After merely Three Strands of Primordial Violet Qi [a highly refined spiritual essence of the purest violet hue], the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel capable of nurturing primordial energies] had already advanced to the rank of a High-Grade Innate Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact born from the world's foundational laws].

A Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth of High-Grade Innate Treasure caliber grew increasingly Mysterious Profound [deeply enigmatic and unfathomable]. Yet, it still could not help the Primordial Ancient Trees [trees of immense age that embody the world's primordial essence] break through their bottlenecks to ascend. Therefore, Eldrin Chen continued refining two more strands of Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the most fundamental and potent form of violet spiritual energy, born with the cosmos].

"*Hmmm—*"

As the final wisp of Primordial Essence [the pure, foundational energy of creation] was refined, the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth suddenly erupted with Innate Mystic Light [a radiant glow intrinsic to artifacts of supreme origin]. A total of thirteen Innate Dao Patterns [natural formations that embody the fundamental principles of the Dao] manifested within it.

Even more astonishingly, as those thirteen Innate Dao Patterns intertwined, a dim and obscure Innate Great Dao Embryo [the nascent, unformed seed of a supreme cosmic principle] began to gestate.

"The Embryonic Dao of Innate Primordial Chaos."

Witnessing this scene, Lyra Jiang could not help but exclaim, her eyes shining with brilliance.

Eldrin Chen also gave a slight nod, speaking calmly, "This Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth can now be considered the most rudimentary form of an Innate Ancient Treasure [an artifact of supreme power, forged by the primordial laws of the cosmos itself]."

Innate Ancient Treasure themselves are further graded, typically divided into two stages: the twelve-pattern and the twenty-four-pattern phases.

Twelve Innate Dao Patterns can interweave to form a Great Dao Embryo [the nascent core of a supreme cosmic principle, a foundation for unimaginable power]. Dive deeper into the Dao at audio–novel.com.

And twenty-four Innate Dao Patterns [the fundamental patterns of the Great Dao inscribed within an object] can interweave to form two Innate Great Dao Embryo [the nascent, unformed core of a Great Dao within an object].

The gap between a twelve-pattern Innate Ancient Treasure [a primordial treasure born of nature, containing innate Dao patterns] and a twenty-four-pattern Innate Ancient Treasure is immense. As for those in between, whether with thirteen patterns or twenty-three, the difference in power is not that great, amounting to at most a twenty to thirty percent variance.

The limit for an Innate Ancient Treasure is twenty-four Innate Dao Patterns. Exceeding twenty-four patterns qualifies it as an Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo [the embryonic form of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, still in the process of formation].

So-called Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo generally refers to an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born of the cosmos, containing the laws of the Great Dao] that is still in the process of gestation. For example, the current Abyssal Pearl [a mystical pearl containing abyssal power] already possesses over thirty Innate Dao Patterns.

Such an Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo will almost certainly mature into an Innate Spiritual Treasure barring unforeseen accidents. Treasures of this caliber are exceedingly rare and require no further elaboration.

However, the disparity between a twelve-pattern Innate Ancient Treasure and a twenty-four-pattern one is indeed significant.

Currently, this Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a vase capable of containing and refining the primordial energies of heaven and earth] possesses only thirteen Innate Dao Patterns, classifying it as an ordinary Innate Ancient Treasure.

Even so, this Primordial Qian-Kun Primordial Qi Vase [another name for the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth] has undergone a qualitative transformation compared to its state before its advancement.

Eldrin Chen attempted to refine a single drop of Innate Spiritual Water [spiritual water of innate origin, possessing miraculous properties]. He discovered that after the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth's advancement, the Innate Spiritual Water contained within now harbored a trace of Great Dao Power [power derived from the fundamental laws of the cosmos], its wondrous effects now incomparable to its former state.

Firstly, the healing efficacy of this Innate Qiankun Primordial Qi Water [the spiritual water produced by the Primordial Qi Vase] has greatly improved. A mere one thousand drops can now heal almost any injury within the Celestial Immortal Realm [the realm of Celestial Immortals, beings who have ascended to a higher state of existence].

Furthermore, its effect in accelerating growth had also increased significantly. Even when used on Primordial Ancient Trees [ancient trees of immense spiritual power and longevity], it yielded considerable results.

Most importantly, after advancing to an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born from the primal forces of creation], this Innate Qiankun Primordial Qi Water [a primal spiritual water containing the essence of heaven and earth] gained a trace of profound Great Dao Power [the fundamental power of the cosmic principles]. It could now assist Primordial Ancient Trees in breaking their shackles and advancing to become Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a mid-grade tree born from innate primal forces].

Although it still could not promote them to High-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a high-grade tree born from innate primal forces], Eldrin Chen estimated that once the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a vase that refines the primal energies of creation] advanced to become a top-tier twenty-four-patterned Innate Ancient Treasure, it would be able to help Primordial Ancient Trees break the shackles of the Ninth Rank High Grade [the ninth rank, high grade cultivation stage].

Unfortunately, as the wondrous functions of the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth increased, the consumption of Immortal Source [a crystallized source of immortal energy] required to transform Innate Spiritual Water [spiritual water of innate origin] also greatly increased.

Previously, Eldrin Chen needed only ten thousand pieces of Immortal Source to transform a single drop of Innate Spiritual Water. Now, however, one hundred thousand pieces were required to produce a single drop.

To help a single Primordial Ancient Tree break through its bottleneck and advance to a Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree required three thousand drops of Innate Spiritual Water. Calculated, that amounted to three hundred million pieces of Immortal Source.

Three hundred million pieces of Immortal Source—this was no small price.

Of course, any Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme master among Heavenly Immortals] would willingly pay the cost of three hundred million pieces of Immortal Source in exchange for a single Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree.

After all, Immortal Source held limited use for Heavenly Immortal Paragon, while a Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree was an object countless Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm] dreamed of possessing. Forget three hundred million pieces; there would be plenty willing to pay three billion, or even thirty billion pieces.

To give an example, the colossal Immortal Source Mine [a mine rich in Immortal Source crystals] within the Cavernous Abyss Sea [a vast and profound sea realm] alone produced over two hundred million pieces of Immortal Source every ten thousand years.

The duration of a single Dao Tribulation [a catastrophic heavenly trial faced by cultivators to prove their Dao], that amounts to several hundred billion pieces.

The two dominant Grotto-Heaven [a superior cultivation realm, a blessed land of profound spiritual energy] powers of the Western Qi Divine Abyss have monopolized the spiritual veins for over a hundred million years; the Immortal Source [a primordial energy crystal of immense purity, the highest-grade cultivation resource] they have obtained must number in the trillions. Even if the majority has been consumed, spending several tens of billions of Immortal Source to purchase a single Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a primordial tree born of innate laws, a treasure of immense spiritual value] would be effortless.

However, Primordial Ancient Trees [trees of legendary origin, embodying the foundational laws of the world] are exceedingly rare, serving as heritage treasures that stabilize the fortune and destiny of major Grotto-Heaven. Unless a sect faces a truly Life and Death [a moment of existential crisis, a fight for survival] crisis, no Heaven Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality, a celestial being] would be willing to part with such a treasure.

After understanding the wondrous functions of the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth, Lyra Jiang could not help but remark, "As we anticipated, after this treasure advances to Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born from the innate laws of the world, possessing unparalleled power], its capabilities are truly extraordinary."

"It seems the time has come for us to prepare for the advancement of our Earth Immortal World [the personal inner world of an Earth Immortal cultivator, a nascent realm they nurture]."

Eldrin Chen nodded and inquired, "How much Immortal Source has the clan accumulated?" Experience the full epic at https://audio-novel.com.

"Over the past eight hundred thousand years, from the Immortal Source Vein [a primary vein yielding Immortal Source crystals] in the Abyssal Sea, the Immortal Alliance [a coalition of immortal sects and powers] distributed eight billion pieces. I exchanged them all for Merit Points [points earned for virtuous deeds or contributions within an organization] and Immortal Treasures [powerful artifacts used by immortal cultivators], depositing them into the Clan Treasury."

Lyra Jiang recounted the clan's current Immortal Source reserves with precision: "Furthermore, the clan's various enterprises over these years have accumulated another one point three billion pieces of Immortal Source."

"Adding the proceeds from selling surplus Immortal Treasures and Spiritual Object [a general term for objects imbued with spiritual energy], plus the earlier surplus, we have approximately thirteen point seven billion pieces of Immortal Source remaining."

"Thirteen point seven billion?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "One hundred and thirty-seven billion Immortal Sources [a highly concentrated and potent form of spiritual energy used by high-level cultivators] is only enough to advance forty-five Primordial Ancient Trees [ancient, spiritually potent trees that form the foundation of a cultivator's inner world]."

"I have opened two Fourteen-Layered Heavens [a specific, high-level stage in the development of a cultivator's inner cosmos], and you have opened two Eleventh-Layered Heavens [another advanced stage of inner world development]. Combined, that makes forty-five layers of heaven. This amount of Immortal Sources is barely sufficient for just the two of us."

At this point, Eldrin Chen frowned. "And that's not even accounting for accelerating the maturation of the Innate Spiritual Root [the foundational spiritual talent or potential within a cultivator]. If we include that, the consumption of Immortal Sources would increase by another thirty percent."

Hearing this, Lyra Jiang also nodded in agreement.

Currently, within the Chen Immortal Clan, there were a total of eleven Flawless Celestial Immortals [a perfected, foundational stage of immortality]: Eldrin Chen, Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Lila, Yvonne the Violet Consort, Qiyuan Chen, Ethan Chen, Xander Qing Chen, Qing the Ancient Ancestor, and Caelan Chen.

Within the Cosmos [the personal, cultivated inner world of a high-level cultivator] of these eleven members of the Chen Clan, Primordial Ancient Trees had been planted. Altogether, there were over three hundred of them.

Let alone one hundred and thirty-seven billion Immortal Sources, if they truly wanted to advance everyone, even one trillion Immortal Sources might not be enough.

Thinking of this, Lyra Jiang could not help but ask, "Then what do you plan to do?"

"I plan to sell the Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo [a legendary, spiritually invaluable type of bamboo]!"

Eldrin Chen stated decisively, his expression calm and composed.

Upon hearing this, Lyra Jiang's eyes brightened slightly, yet a trace of concern also surfaced within them.

The Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo is one of the most cost-effective materials for crafting Taiyi Immortal Treasures within the Immortal Domain, yet it is also the most versatile.

This is because the Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo is both incredibly resilient and imperishable. It can not only be forged into swords but also used to construct Ninth Rank Ancient Ships capable of traversing the Primordial Chaos.

The power of a single Taiyi Golden Bamboo Sword may not be overwhelming. However, when a dozen, or even several dozen, such swords are combined into a sword formation, they can unleash a might that is truly peerless.

For this reason, when the great powers of the Immortal Domain purchase Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo, they do so in vast, wholesale batches.

Those who forge swords from it routinely acquire thirty-six, seventy-two, or even one hundred and eight stalks at a time.

As for those crafting Ninth Rank Ancient Ships, they purchase by the hundreds or even thousands. Consequently, the consumption of Supreme Unity Golden Bamboo is immense, and there is never any worry about finding a market for it.
