Chapter 1767 : Forging the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill
Behold, Eldrin Chen ventured into the depths of the Chaos Lair. He laid down an Innate Formation for protection, then set about refining the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill.
Refining the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill from the flesh and Inner Core [the condensed energy core of a powerful beast] of a Chaos Ancient Beast was not overly complex. The primary challenge lay in the sheer potency of the Fierce Beasts's flesh, which required a sufficiently powerful True Flame [a pure, high-grade flame used in alchemy and cultivation] to refine it.
For an ordinary Early Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, this task would be immensely difficult. Yet, for Eldrin Chen, who had mastered the Chaos Pure Yang Heavenly Flame, it posed no significant obstacle.
He first extracted the flesh and Inner Core of a Ninth Rank Low Grade Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff. With the Chaos Flame [a primordial flame born from chaos], he tirelessly tempered the materials. In just over three thousand years, a single cauldron yielded a batch of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill.
"Satisfactory."
Observing the seven Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill that flew from the Alchemy Furnace, a faint smile touched Eldrin Chen's lips.
The Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill greatly benefited an Innate Physique [a rare, heaven-bestowed physical constitution]. This batch of seven pills would be enough for a typical Early Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator to approach the threshold of the minor achievement stage for their physique.
Alas, Eldrin Chen's Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique was far too formidable, requiring resources several times greater than a common Innate Physique. This amount of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill was still insufficient.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen began refining once more. Not long after, a second batch of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill was completed, this time yielding eight pills.
After refining two batches of Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill, Eldrin Chen did not cease. He directly took out the flesh and Inner Core of the Nine-Tailed Mastiff pack leader and commenced another refinement. After ten thousand years of meticulous work, he successfully produced a single cauldron of Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill. Continue your cultivation journey at audio-novel dot com.
The Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill contained several times more flesh and blood Creation [the innate destiny or fortune of a being] than its Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill counterpart. Unfortunately, its Pill Success Rate [the probability of successfully refining the pill] was significantly lower. Eldrin Chen had only managed to refine three of these superior pills.
"Fifteen Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills, plus three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills... that should suffice."
After refining three batches of the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill, Eldrin Chen gazed at the pills and murmured softly. After a brief calculation, he immediately began refining the Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills.
This Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill possessed heaven-defying Creation. Consuming a single pill could save an Innate Physique [a cultivator's natural, heaven-bestowed physical constitution] a million years of arduous cultivation.
An ordinary cultivator at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm would typically need to consume between five and ten pills to break through the bottleneck of a Minor Achievement Innate Physique.
Eldrin Chen's foundation was extraordinary. After refining ten pills in succession, he discovered that while his Physical Body [the strength and resilience of a cultivator's corporeal form] had improved tremendously, there was still a significant distance to go before breaking through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm.
Having refined all fifteen Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen found that his Physical Body still had not reached its absolute limit.
"The divine power of my Physical Body has increased by twenty percent, yet it seems the peak has not been reached."
After refining all the Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, then decisively continued by refining the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill.
He immediately retrieved the three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills and consumed one of them.
"Boom—"
The moment he swallowed the Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill, Eldrin Chen was instantly assaulted by a surge of immense energy.
To his astonishment, Eldrin Chen felt an incredibly dense and pure essence power rising within myself, causing the Chaos Origin of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to expand tremendously.
At this thought, a flicker of joy stirred in Eldrin Chen's heart. Without hesitation, he immediately consumed a second Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill.
After consuming all three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen discovered that his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body seemed to have reached a certain pinnacle, standing just half a step away from shattering its ultimate barrier.
The Chaos Origin within him, once thin and sparse, had now transformed into a veritable pond, brimming with an intensely concentrated Chaos Primordial Energy.
"Now is the time for the breakthrough."
Eldrin Chen murmured softly, then pushed his divine power to its absolute limit.
With a thunderous roar, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body shattered that ultimate barrier, advancing to the Minor Achievement [the initial stage of mastery for a cultivation art or constitution] realm.
"Hah—"
Eldrin Chen took a deep breath and immediately refined ten strands of Innate Qi [the primordial, uncreated vital energy of the universe], solidifying his Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary body cultivation art that grants near-absolute resilience] at the Minor Achievement realm.
"Minor Achievement of the Innate Primordial Indestructible Body."
"Success!"
Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, a faint smile touching his lips as he sensed the power coursing within him.
He slowly clenched his fist, discovering that the strength of his Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique had increased by more than eighty percent—a qualitative leap from its previous state before reaching Minor Achievement.
"With my Physical Body [the power derived purely from body cultivation] alone now, could I contend with a Seventh Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended through the seventh heavenly tribulation]?" The story continues at audio–novel.com.
Eldrin Chen pondered inwardly, his gaze blazing with burgeoning battle intent.
Using the combat prowess of Divine Abyss Daoist and Western Qi Celestial God as benchmarks, he quickly estimated his current level and arrived at a conclusion.
That conclusion was this: relying solely on his Physical Body power, he might not dare claim he could defeat those two Seventh Heaven Immortal, but it should at least be sufficient to render him undefeatable against them.
If the previous Eldrin Chen possessed combat power comparable to two Seventh Heaven Immortal joining forces, then his current self should be capable of simultaneously confronting three.
This level of combat power, while still not comparable to the top-tier powerhouses of the Eighth Heaven Immortal realm, was already drawing quite close to it.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber and said with a smile, "It is said that the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] holds endless opportunities. To have cultivated a Minor Achievement Immortal Body [a foundational immortal physique] upon my first arrival here proves the truth of those words."
Heartened by this success, Eldrin Chen decided not to linger any longer.
He thoroughly searched the Chaos Lair [a den or nest formed within the Primordial Chaos], acquiring several pieces of Chaos Divine Material [divine-grade ores born from the Primordial Chaos] of mid to low Ninth Rank grade. With these in hand, he set his course deeper into the Depths of Chaos.
Thus began a journey that would span over one hundred thousand years.
In the ages that followed, Eldrin Chen wandered the boundless expanse of the Primordial Chaos, encountering three more Chaos Lair and slaying several Chaos Ancient Beast [ancient beasts native to the Primordial Chaos].
Regrettably, none of these three Chaos Lair contained a Chaos Pool [a rare pool of condensed chaotic essence], and thus he obtained no Innate Qi [the primordial, innate spiritual energy from which all things are born].
This left Eldrin Chen rather disappointed, a weight of contemplation settling upon him.
"Could it be that even within the Primordial Chaos, Innate Qi is an exceedingly rare find?" he wondered.
After a moment of silent deliberation, Eldrin Chen finally turned his gaze toward the outer fringes of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains.
He understood in his heart that within the scope of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad realms of cultivation], the invisible Formation Patterns [mystical arrays that manipulate energy and space] of the domains exerted a suppressive force. Consequently, the closer one moved to the core regions, the more tempered the Chaos Qi [the primordial, unformed energy that existed before creation] became.
And the more tempered the Chaos Qi [the primordial, unformed energy that existed before creation] was, the lesser the risk it posed, and the greater the likelihood that the area had already been explored.
Conversely, in the more turbulent and violent regions where the Chaos Qi [the primordial, unformed energy that existed before creation] surged with overwhelming ferocity, places where early or mid-stage Heaven Immortal [a high-level immortal cultivation realm] would likely perish upon venturing deep, the chance of prior exploration was significantly lower.
Therefore, the further one traveled towards the periphery of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad realms of cultivation], near the borders of the Chaos Deep Sea [the boundless, turbulent sea of primordial chaos], the greater the possibility of discovering traces of Innate Qi [the pure, primordial energy from which all things are born].
"Head towards the edges of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad realms of cultivation]," he decided.
Eldrin Chen murmured to himself. After a moment of deep contemplation, he set his course towards the regions where the Chaos Qi [the primordial, unformed energy that existed before creation] was most dense and potent.
He traversed the endless expanse of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, churning state before the cosmos was ordered] for what felt like an age. Unconsciously, he arrived at a particularly violent and tumultuous stretch of the Depths of Chaos [the most dangerous and unstable regions within the primordial chaos]. Here, he noted that the concentration of Chaos Qi [the primordial, unformed energy that existed before creation] in the surroundings had increased severalfold.
It was within this very stretch of Primordial Chaos [the formless, churning state before the cosmos was ordered] that Eldrin Chen suddenly sensed the explosive eruption of several incredibly wild and frenzied auras.
"That is..."
Eldrin Chen whispered, a shadow of gravity darkening his brow.
Behold, within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the creation of the cosmos] before them, several figures of immense and majestic stature were locked in combat.
The battle was between two sides: one was a female immortal at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the first major stage of true immortality], and the other consisted of two Chaos Ancient Beasts [primordial monsters born from the formless chaos].
The female immortal was already gravely wounded, clearly no match for the two Chaos Ancient Beasts. She could only defend herself by manifesting an Icy Snow-Lotus Throne [a throne-like magical treasure forged from eternal ice and snow lotus essence] to shield her form.
