Chapter 1780 : The Awakening Chaos Saint Spirit

This grade of divine material is exceedingly high. It can be used to forge a Supreme Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a legendary weapon of supreme rank], and is also a superior material for crafting the World-Ending Cannon [a devastating siege weapon of apocalyptic power].

Eldrin Chen carefully examined the site once more before finally speaking. "The Dragon-Patterned Divine Iron [a divine ore bearing dragon-scale patterns] within the vein has already coalesced into a draconic form and possesses a potent concentration of Innate Qi [the primordial, uncreated energy of the cosmos]."

"If we do not intervene, once she develops sentience, this Chaos Black Dragon Iron Ore Vein [a primordial ore vein of black dragon-patterned iron] will, given sufficient time, ultimately metamorphose into a Chaos Saint Spirit [a sentient spirit born from primordial chaos and divine minerals]."

"A Chaos Saint Spirit?"

The Celestial Maiden murmured, a flicker of astonishment in her gaze.

A Chaos Saint Spirit is born from metallic or mineral essence within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation]. It possesses a body of innate, peerless durability within its realm, surpassing even a Chaos Beast King [a monarch among the primordial chaos beasts]. Upon its emergence into the world, its power rivals that of an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a venerable immortal of immense age and strength] who has transcended seven or more heavenly tribulations.

From their knowledge, over half of the Chaos Fiend [demonic entities native to the primordial chaos] within the Primordial Chaos are born from the metamorphosis of Chaos Saint Spirit, a testament to the terrifying nature of such beings.

Contemplating this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion dared not be negligent. After extensive calculation, he declared, "This Chaos Nine Dragons Nest [a primordial formation resembling a nest of nine dragons] was originally meant to be a Three-Aperture Chaos Nine Dragons Nest [a specific, high-grade type of Chaos Nine Dragons Nest] of the Ninth Rank High Grade [the pinnacle of the ninth cultivation rank]."

"However, the unexpected gestation of this Chaos Saint Spirit has drained the Creation [the foundational creative principle or destiny] within the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest, causing it to degrade to the Ninth Rank Middle Grade [the middle tier of the ninth cultivation rank]."

"If my calculations are not mistaken, this Chaos Nine Dragons Nest now suffers from a severe deficiency of Creation. Its sentient essence has withered, akin to a dead egg that has lost its Soul [the animating spiritual core]. It should be impossible for it to successfully give birth to its inhabitant."

At that very moment, Celestial Maiden [a title for a powerful female immortal] also spoke with a tone of profound regret, "What a pity. A Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos, possessing immense power]. Legends say even the weakest Chaos Saint Spirit possesses strength comparable to a Seven Calamity Ancient Immortal Realm [a high-level immortal realm], born with the invincible power to shatter Cosmos [the universe or a world]."

"If we could have contracted her as a Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm or pocket dimension] divine beast while she was still gestating, she would have been an aid to us in our future attempts to impact the Ancient Immortal Realm, or even to break through to the Great Luo [the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm]. It would have granted us a sliver of additional hope, now lost."

"Indeed, a great pity."

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion also sighed with regret, saying, "Within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [a collective term for the myriad immortal realms], the Chaos Qi [primordial chaos energy] is too thin. Had she been gestating beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, she might have been born by now."

At this moment, both felt a deep sense of loss. They understood that if this Chaos Dragon-Vein Iron Ore Vein [a vein of chaos-infused dragon-iron ore] had successfully nurtured a Chaos Saint Spirit, it would most likely have been a Chaos Black Dragon [a black dragon born of chaos].

That Chaos Black Dragon, born from Chaos Black Dragon Iron [the specific ore], would possess a Physical Body [the strength of one's corporeal form] powerful enough to reign supreme and unchallenged within the Ancient Immortal Realm. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm] might not find it easy to subdue and slay such a being.

A Chaos Saint Spirit of this caliber, with the potential to be nurtured into a Great Luo Realm Chaos Fiend [a chaos-born fiend], would be a rare treasure coveted even by many Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze momentarily froze in contemplation.

He looked towards the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest [a nest capable of nurturing chaos dragons], faintly perceiving that a trace of spiritual vitality still lingered within the Chaos Saint Spirit. It was merely unable to revive due to the insufficient nourishment provided by the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest.

Sensing the Primordial Essence [the purest, most fundamental energy of creation] within his own body, he fell into deep thought. "Devoid of spirit, it is almost a corpse. Could my Primordial Essence revive it?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, suppressing the thought for the moment.

Since the Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos] could not emerge, Celestial Maiden and Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor paid it no further mind.

They continued their advance, discovering four and three strands of Innate Qi [primordial spiritual energy] within the two Chaos Pool [pools of primal chaos] respectively.

A total of seven strands of Innate Qi was still somewhat meager for the three of them, yet they were all quite satisfied.

Although the dangers within this expanse of Primordial Chaos in the Three Thousand Immortal Domains were relatively minor, the Chaos Qi [the energy of primal chaos] was exceedingly sparse, making Innate Qi naturally rare as well; finding seven strands at once was considered a decent haul.

After thoroughly scouring the treasures once more, they all settled within the Chaos Lair to tally their gains from this expedition.

Upon taking stock, the trio found they had acquired a total of six High-Grade Innate Treasure [supreme treasures born from the primordial chaos] and two High Grade Innate Rare Treasure [extremely rare treasures of innate origin], along with twenty strands of Innate Qi.

The remaining treasures were of insufficient grade to warrant their serious attention.

The six Innate Treasure were: the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword, the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron, the Five Veins Divine Spear, the Colorless Immortal Armor, the Dutian Blazing Fire Banner, and the Void-Sundering Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The two Innate Marvels [wonders born from the primordial chaos] were: one piece of Innate Water Jade Marrow [the essence of primordial water jade] and one Innate Dao-Unity Flower [a flower embodying the unity of the primordial Dao].

That Innate Water Jade Marrow [a primordial substance that nourishes the physical form] can nourish the Physical Body [the corporeal vessel of a cultivator]. When a Water-attributed Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal of the heavens] attempts a breakthrough into the Great Completion Innate Physique [a perfected, heaven-born physical constitution], it can increase their chances of success by approximately one-tenth.

This treasure was in the possession of the Divine Abyss Daoist [a master of the profound abyss], and it appears he intended to use it for his own breakthrough into the Eighth Heaven Immortal [the eighth layer of the celestial immortal realm].

The Innate Dao-Unity Flower [a primordial blossom symbolizing the unity of the Dao], meanwhile, was a treasure of the Five Veins Spear God [a deity of the spear with mastery over five spiritual veins]. This marvel can assist an Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality] in condensing the Great Vehicle Dao Fruit [the supreme fruit of enlightenment, representing the pinnacle of one's Dao], increasing the likelihood of breaking through to the Ninth Layer Celestial Immortal [the ninth and highest layer of the celestial immortal realm] by three-tenths. It is an Innate Marvels [a wonder born of primordial chaos] of exceedingly precious value.

As for the final twenty strands of Innate Qi [primordial life-force energy], seven were obtained from within the Chaos Lair [a lair born of primordial disorder], Six Paths [a profound realm representing the six paths of existence] came from the Divine Abyss Daoist, and the remaining seven all originated from the hands of the Five Veins Spear God.

Of the other two, the Void-Sundering Sword Immortal [an immortal whose sword can cleave the void] and the Crimson Flame Ancient Ancestor [an ancient progenitor of crimson flames]—whether they had exhausted their supply of Innate Qi or chose to leave it within their respective Daoist Assembly Ground [a sacred ground for Daoist congregation and cultivation]—did not bring any Innate Qi with them.

After reviewing the items, the Celestial Maiden [a maiden of celestial beauty and power] could not help but smile and remark, "The Crimson Flame Ancient Ancestor broke through to the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the later stages of the heavenly immortal realm] less than ten million years ago, and the Void-Sundering Sword Immortal achieved his breakthrough a mere three million years prior. It is no surprise they have no Innate Qi on hand." Dive deeper into the Dao at @udio-novel.com.

"However, the fact that the Divine Abyss Daoist and the Five Veins Spear God possess such a quantity of Innate Qi suggests they have been preparing for many years, gathering resources to assault the next great realm."

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this, then turned his gaze to the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [the sovereign of the pavilion overlooking the sea of horizons] and inquired, "May I ask, Senior, how shall these rare treasures be distributed?"

The Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion pondered briefly. First, he took the Innate Dao-Unity Flower, then claimed Six Paths strands of Innate Qi. "With the Innate Dao-Unity Flower, I may attempt a breakthrough to the Ninth Layer Celestial Immortal," he stated. "For this, I cannot feign modesty."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod of assent and spoke forth, "I desire that Saint Embryo [the embryonic form of a future saint]."

"Oh?"

The two were slightly taken aback. Celestial Maiden could not help but speak: "That Saint Embryo is merely a lifeless object. What use could you possibly have for it?"

Attempting to revive the Chaos Saint Spirit was a matter concerning Primordial Essence, so Eldrin Chen naturally dared not speak plainly. He simply stated: "The Saint Embryo is formed from Chaos Black Dragon Iron, a material that is considered a Supreme Chaos Divine Material. Its substance is exceedingly rare in all the world."

"A piece of Chaos Black Dragon Iron this large is sufficient to forge several Supreme Taiyi Immortal Weapon."

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion gave a slight nod, but then quickly shook his head.

They did not quite approve of Eldrin Chen's approach. Although the material for a Supreme Taiyi Immortal Weapon is extraordinary, its power is only comparable to that of a Mid-Grade Innate Treasure.

Unless Eldrin Chen possessed enough Innate Qi [the primordial energy of creation] to elevate it into an Innate Ancient Treasure, even several Supreme Taiyi Immortal Weapon might not be enough to trade for a single High-Grade Innate Treasure.

However, Innate Qi [the primordial energy of creation] is far too scarce. Even those in the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm might not be able to produce such a vast quantity of Innate Qi needed to elevate a single Innate Ancient Treasure, let alone Paragons like themselves at the Heavenly Immortal Paragon level.

Of course, those Ancient Immortals who have transcended seven or more heavenly tribulations, capable of slaying Chaos Beast King within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], might have amassed significant stores of Innate Qi. They would perhaps be willing to purchase Supreme Taiyi Immortal Gold to refine into Innate Ancient Treasure.

If this Supreme Taiyi Immortal Gold were sold to such beings, it might fetch a rather high price.

How exceedingly rare are Seven Calamities Ancient Immortal [a legendary realm of cultivation, representing an existence that has transcended seven great cosmic tribulations]? They are realms so distant and lofty, far beyond the reach of most, that one might never even glimpse their shadow in a lifetime.

After pondering the matter, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [the leader of a major sect or organization] declared, "Since that is the case, we shall value this Chaos Black Dragon Iron [a primordial ore of immense density and power, said to be forged in the chaos before creation] at the worth of a single High-Grade Innate Treasure [a supreme magical artifact born from the world's essence, possessing unparalleled power and potential]."
