Chapter 1782 : The Awakening of the Violet Dragon

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen nodded, watching the two depart with his gaze.

After they had left, Eldrin Chen returned to the depths of the Primordial Nine Dragon Nest.

He looked upon the Chaos Saint Spirit before him. After operating the Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao [a supreme divination art that calculates the interplay of cosmic forces] for a long while, he found that myself still could not deduce whether this Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos with the potential of a Chaos Fiend] could truly be revived.

"The Chaos Saint Spirit possesses the potential of a Chaos Fiend [a being of primordial chaos and immense power]. With my Profound Grade Divination Divine Ability [a high-level art of foresight and calculation], I ultimately cannot divine its chance of revival."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly. After much hesitation, he finally steeled his resolve.

Then, Eldrin Chen slowly exhaled a breath. A wisp of Innate Primordial Violet Qi [a strand of supreme, primordial violet energy of creation] flew forth and settled into the sea of consciousness [the spiritual mind-space] of the Chaos Saint Spirit.

"*Hummm—*"

As the Innate Primordial Violet Qi descended, the Chaos Saint Spirit began to emit a faint, spiritual radiance.

After a moment of profound stillness, within the sea of consciousness of the Chaos Black Dragon [a dragon born from primordial chaos], a pale violet spiritual light slowly kindled to life. In its eyes, an ineffable aura of Supreme [the highest, most exalted] nobility began to manifest. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio~novel.com.

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen's heart quivered. He had a feeling that this Chaos Black Dragon Iron seemed to have undergone a certain transformation.

The black dragon patterns within it were now tinged with a trace of violet light, possessing an air of transcendent Supreme majesty, far more noble and dignified than before.

"Roar—"

In a fleeting moment, Eldrin Chen heard the sound of a Dragon's Roar. The newly born True Spirit [the highest form of spiritual consciousness] gazed at Eldrin Chen with a hint of affection.

Eldrin Chen's heart stirred. He reached out and stroked the dragon's head of the Chaos Black Dragon, a smile unconsciously gracing his lips.

He discovered that this Chaos Black Dragon was not the original Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit of chaos] reviving. Instead, after receiving the Innate Primordial Violet Qi [the innate and primordial violet energy of creation], a new dragon soul had been nurtured and born from within the physical shell.

This dragon soul was born because of Eldrin Chen. Within its Divine Soul [a soul that has attained a divine level of cultivation] resided a wisp of Eldrin Chen's own aura. It was innately and boundlessly close to Eldrin Chen, viewing him as its reborn father-god.

Gazing at this Chaos Black Dragon, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel immense joy. Finally, he spoke: "You are a dragon-type Chaos Saint Spirit. The Dragon Race often takes 'Ao' as their surname. And since you were born from Primordial Essence [the purest, foundational energy of creation], henceforth, your name shall be Ao Hong."

"Roar—"

Upon receiving the name bestowed by Eldrin Chen, Ao Hong could not contain his joy and let out a delighted Dragon's Roar.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen patted the dragon's head once more and spoke calmly, "Though you have gained sentience, you are still in the womb of creation, not yet fully formed."

"Henceforth, you shall remain within this Chaos Nine Dragons Nest, piloting it towards the Depths of Chaos. Along the way, continuously inhale and exhale Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy from which all things originate] to cultivate, and do not emerge until your form is utterly perfected."

"Father Deity… when… see again…"

Hearing this, Ao Hong felt a Hazy sense of reluctance in his nascent understanding and sent forth a wisp of indistinct thought, inquiring when they might meet again.

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly, then performed a divination with his fingers before replying, "Quickly, within ten million years. Slowly, perhaps thirty million years. Then you shall be ready to emerge into the world."

"As you journey to the Depths of Chaos, know this: the denser the Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy from which all things originate], the faster your gestation and formation will be. When the time of your birth draws near, I will surely come to meet you once more."

With these final words, Eldrin Chen accompanied the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest as it traveled towards the outer reaches of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains. He journeyed alongside it for three Millennium [a period of one thousand years] before finally releasing it to vanish into the vastness of the Primordial Chaos.

Only after the Chaos Nine Dragons Nest had disappeared from sight did Eldrin Chen slowly withdraw his gaze, a surge of excitement stirring within his heart.

After repeated divinations, he discovered that Ao Hong, having been nurtured by the Primordial Essence [the fundamental, unadulterated substance of creation], had undergone a qualitative transformation in his innate talent and latent potential.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, when Ao Hong was born, its innate talent and combat prowess should have been sufficient to rival an Eight Calamity Ancient Immortal [a cultivator who has transcended eight great cosmic tribulations].

And Eight Calamity Ancient Immortals are all beings who have shattered the barriers of the Eighth Heaven [the eighth and penultimate heavenly gate of cultivation]. Such peerless Ancient Immortals are but A Step Away from attaining the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal [the supreme immortal realm of Great Luo].

Even among Chaos Saint Spirit [primordial spirits born from chaos], the vast majority are born with only the combat strength of a Seven Calamities Ancient Immortal.

For Ao Hong to be born with the potential to achieve Eight Calamity Ancient Immortal status marks it as a standout even among Chaos Saint Spirit.

Those comparable to Nine Calamities Ancient Immortal among Chaos Saint Spirit are true Chaos Demon God [primordial demonic deities born from chaos]. The moment such an entity is born, it attracts a Primordial Chaos Tribulation [a cataclysmic tribulation of primordial chaos]. Surviving it allows one to become a Supreme existence rivaling Great Luo cultivators.

To give birth to a Chaos Demon God, one requires at least a Fourth Grade Primordial Nest [a primordial nesting ground of the fourth grade] of Great Luo-level power. The Chaos Nine Dragons Nest [a chaotic nest associated with nine dragons], having only opened two apertures, simply could not nurture such a being. Support the author by reading on audio-novel`com.

"To be born an Eight Calamity Ancient Immortal... even within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad realms of immortals], such a one is qualified to become a figure of Calamity Protagonist [a destined hero of the great calamity] caliber."

"If it can emerge before the Calamity Tribulation [the great cataclysmic tribulation], it might become a significant aid to me."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his gaze blazing with intense light.

Legends say the Calamity Tribulation is a vast and tumultuous event that will sweep across the entire Three Thousand Immortal Domains. Unless under the protection of a Great Luo Immortal Lord [an immortal lord of the Great Luo realm], no one can stand apart from its reach.

Eldrin Chen knew that his current strength was far from sufficient to contend within the Calamity Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of immense upheaval and opportunity], to stride beyond the borders of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain when the Calamity Tribulation arrives, and to step onto the grand stage of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains.

Originally, Eldrin Chen had merely intended to use the Hundred Calamities Rebirth Opportunity [a rare chance for profound transformation that arises during the Calamity Tribulation] within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain during this coming Calamity Tribulation to solidify his foundation, aiming to break through to the Great Luo [the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, a state of supreme transcendence] during the next tribulation cycle.

Yet now, a greater ambition had taken root within him. For if he had the aid of a Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos, possessing immense potential] nurtured by an Eight Calamity Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived eight Calamity Tribulations], then perhaps there truly existed a sliver of a chance—to seize the opportunity presented by this very Calamity Tribulation and achieve a breakthrough into the Great Luo Realm in one fell swoop.

No matter how powerful a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a pinnacle-level Heavenly Immortal] might be, they ultimately remained bound beneath the weight of cosmic tribulations. Only by shattering the Destiny Heavenly Pass [the ultimate barrier of fate and destiny] and attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm could one truly transcend the cycles of fate and calamity.

"My child, having absorbed the Primordial Essence [the purest, most foundational energy of creation], my hopes for you are great. I pray you can be born into this world before the Calamity Tribulation arrives," Eldrin Chen whispered inwardly.

With that final thought, Eldrin Chen turned and began his journey back towards the Frigid Immortal Domain.

He understood clearly in his heart: while a Chaos Saint Spirit was formidable, its power was ultimately not his own.

The most pressing task for him now was to cultivate diligently and swiftly, striving to advance to the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the late stage of the Heaven Immortal realm], and ultimately to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the perfected, pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm].

Only if he could cultivate to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm before the Calamity Tribulation would he possess a genuine possibility of glimpsing the threshold of the Great Luo Realm.

If he remained merely at the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm], then no matter how many fortuitous encounters he might obtain during the Calamity Tribulation, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Great Luo Realm within the brief span of a mere million years.

After firmly resolving in his heart, Eldrin Chen hurriedly returned to the Frigid Immortal Domain and arrived within the Horizon Sea Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy].

At this moment, the Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor was still in seclusion, attempting a breakthrough to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation path], and the Celestial Maiden was also secluded, consolidating her cultivation. Seizing this opportunity, Eldrin Chen began refining the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [a legendary elixir marked with cloud-like patterns, said to grant immense power].

This time, Eldrin Chen possessed a total of eleven Chaos Ancient Beasts [primordial creatures born from the chaos of creation, possessing immense vitality and power].

Aside from one High Grade Primordial Ancient Beast, there were also three Mid Grade Primordial Ancient Beasts and seven Low Grade Primordial Ancient Beasts.

Eldrin Chen started with the simpler refinements, concocting one furnace every three centuries. Over the course of more than two thousand years, he refined seven furnaces of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills [immortal pills refined through seven cycles of spiritual tempering], successfully producing a total of fifty-four pills.

He then proceeded to refine the Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills [a more potent version of the immortal pill, refined through eight cycles]. Spending two millennia, he successfully completed three furnaces of Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pills, yielding a total of fifteen Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills.

The final furnace of Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills [the supreme grade of this pill lineage, refined through nine perfect cycles] presented an immense challenge. Eldrin Chen toiled for over six thousand years before finally purifying the essence of the Primordial Dragon-Wolf Chieftain [a leader among the Chaos Ancient Beasts, part dragon and part wolf], ultimately obtaining two precious Nine Revolutions Immortal Pills.
