Chapter 1784 : A Pavilion Master's Ambition

The Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion smiled and shook his head, then spoke: "I will not take this from you for nothing. Give me the Dragon Bone and the hide of the Chaos Ancient Beast."

"My Deep-Seated Foundation within the Horizon Sea Pavilion is still shallow. These materials can be kept to forge Chaos Ancient Ships [ancient vessels capable of navigating the primordial chaos] and to refine Treasure Talisman."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen said no more.

The remaining forty-three Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills and nine Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills would be of considerable use to the members of the Chen Immortal Clan.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, the cultivators of the Chen Clan would reach the Third Heaven Immortal Realm Perfection within several hundred thousand years. With these Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills and Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills at hand, they could then directly attempt to break through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen stored away all the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pills.

After distributing the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion and inquired, "I observe your aura has grown even more profound and unfathomable. I presume your secluded cultivation has borne the fruit you desired?"

The Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion laughed heartily, a note of joy in his voice. "With the aid of a supreme treasure like the Innate Dao-Unity Flower and having obtained a sufficient quantity of Innate Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation], how could I fail to break through? It would be an insult to this Innate Divine Foundation [a constitution born of innate divinity]."

"I achieved my breakthrough three millennia ago. The reason for delaying all these years was to advance the Horizon Sea Twin Swords."

As he spoke, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion flicked his sleeve, revealing the Horizon Sea Twin Swords. The sharpness and majestic power emanating from the twin blades had increased by more than double compared to what was seen before. For the best reading experience, visit audio-novel . com.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion possessed an Innate Divine Foundation [a supreme natural constitution for cultivation]. Before breaking through to the Ancient Immortals [a powerful realm of immortal cultivation], he faced no significant bottlenecks. As long as he had sufficient time to accumulate a Deep-Seated Foundation [a profound and stable cultivation base], even without the aid of the Innate Dao-Unity Flower [a legendary herb that harmonizes one's cultivation with the fundamental Dao], he could still ascend to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm].

If, with the assistance of this Innate Dao-Unity Flower, he still failed to break through, then he would truly be a hopeless case.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "With this breakthrough, Senior, and having obtained the Bodyguard Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade protective artifact] Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron, coupled with the advancement of these Horizon Sea Twin Swords, it seems you are now poised to stand as a sovereign even among those in the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm."

"You flatter me. The world is full of capable individuals. My progress is but modest; how could I dare claim sovereignty?"

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion spoke with humility, yet a glint of confidence shone in his eyes.

Having broken through to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm with his Innate Divine Foundation, and having fortified his defensive shortcomings with the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron, along with the successful ascension of his Horizon Sea Twin Swords, he was a cultivator transformed, no longer the man he once was.

Now, whether in terms of offensive prowess or defensive capabilities, he was no weakling among his peers.

In the hands of an ordinary Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, these treasures might only grant average combat strength, nothing truly exceptional.

The crucial point was that when wielded by his Innate Divine Foundation, their unleashed power would far surpass that of his peers. He wouldn't claim to be invincible within the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm above Celestial Immortal], but contending against two ordinary Flawless Celestial Immortal [a Celestial Immortal with a flawless foundation] cultivators of the same realm was well within his grasp, truly a situation of Fighting One Against Two.

Having reached this conclusion, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion turned his gaze to the pair and declared, "Since I have achieved this breakthrough, I shall lead you on a journey into the Depths of Chaos to seek out some Innate Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] for you."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen and Celestial Maiden exchanged a glance, a trace of a smile appearing in their eyes.

Had they not prioritized gifting all eighteen strands of Innate Qi to Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion, bolstering his combat prowess, precisely for a day such as this?

Having broken through to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm and with both of his Lifebound Immortal Treasure [treasures bound to one's life and soul, growing in power with the cultivator] successfully ascended, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion had no immediate need for more Innate Qi.

What he required now were Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [pills refined through nine cycles, possessing immense power], along with various treasures to increase his cultivation Mana [spiritual power or energy reserves], and even Supreme Grade Innate Marvel [objects of supreme quality born from primordial chaos, crucial for major breakthroughs] to aid his ascent to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, he might need certain Innate Marvels [wondrous objects born from primordial chaos] to cultivate specific Divine Ability [powerful supernatural techniques], but those were Innate Marvels, distinct from Innate Qi.

Therefore, during this expedition into the Primordial Chaos, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion would likely prioritize hunting Chaos Ancient Beast for their flesh, blood, and Inner Core [the condensed energy core of a powerful beast], as well as gathering various Innate Marvels. Any Innate Qi obtained would be given first to Eldrin Chen and Celestial Maiden.

With the decision made, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion wasted no time. He handed three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill to Caelan, the Ancient Ancestor, then set off with his three companions towards the Depths of Chaos.

They traversed the vast expanse of Primordial Chaos, searching within the Depths of Chaos for signs of Chaos Lair [dwellings or nests formed within the chaos], hoping to find traces of a Chaos Immortal Pool [a pool of concentrated chaotic energy with miraculous properties].

Alas, within this stretch of Primordial Chaos bordering the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, Chaos Lair were exceedingly rare to begin with. Countless Heavenly Immortal Paragon [peak-stage Heavenly Immortals] had scoured these lands over eons, leaving few Chaos Lair that still nurtured Innate Qi.

They journeyed for over three hundred thousand years, encountering more than a dozen Chaos Lair [a rare, naturally formed pocket of stability and concentrated energy within the primordial chaos], yet only one among them possessed a Low Grade Chaos Immortal Pool [a pool of primal chaos energy that can aid in cultivation].

This particular Low Grade Chaos Lair seemed to have been plundered many years prior, yielding merely a single strand of Innate Qi [a primordial energy of creation, foundational for high-level cultivation] and one Low Grade Innate Marvel [a rare object born from the primal chaos, possessing unique properties].

For an ordinary Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm], three such strands of Innate Qi might not be considered a meager haul. However, the three of them were individuals of extraordinary combat prowess. To wander the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the cosmos] for three hundred millennia and obtain only one strand was a truly paltry harvest.

"It seems we must venture further towards the outer reaches of the Primordial Chaos,"

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion murmured inwardly, then turned his gaze to Celestial Maiden and Eldrin Chen. "The inner regions of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad immortal realms] are sparse in Chaos Qi [the raw, unrefined energy of primordial chaos], and Chaos Lair are inherently scarce. They have been picked over countless times by innumerable Heaven Immortal."

"If we wish to acquire more Innate Qi, we will likely need to take greater risks. Perhaps we should first return to the Frigid Immortal Domain to restore our Mana [the spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] before setting out again?" Find this and other novels at audio–novel.com.

Eldrin Chen understood that the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion was taking Celestial Maiden's condition into consideration.

Among the trio, Eldrin Chen could absorb Chaos Qi to replenish himself, so he had no need to worry about Mana depletion.

The Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm], and his Mana reserves were several times vaster than an ordinary Seventh Heaven Immortal [a Celestial Immortal at the seventh layer]. He could continue for several more million years without issue.

However, Celestial Maiden's cultivation was only at the Celestial Immortal Fourth Layer, her Mana roughly comparable to a Sixth Heaven Celestial Immortal—scarcely one-tenth or one-twentieth of the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's. After wandering the Primordial Chaos for three hundred thousand years, a significant portion of her Mana had already been consumed. It was not the time to press onward.

Celestial Maiden [a title for a powerful female immortal] also thought of this point. She took a deep breath and then spoke, "My Mana [the spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques] is somewhat insufficient, and I am holding you back. Perhaps you should continue forward, and I will return."

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [the title of the leader of the Horizon Sea Pavilion] smiled slightly and replied, "There is no need for concern. I, too, shall return to the Frigid Immortal Domain [a vast and cold realm within the immortal worlds] to reconfirm the Dao Marker [a mystical beacon or landmark used for navigation in chaotic realms] on the periphery of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], lest we become lost within its depths."

Hearing this, Celestial Maiden nodded and said no more.

Eldrin Chen saw this and also gave a slight nod. Celestial Maiden possessed an Innate Divine Foundation [a supreme innate constitution gifted by heaven, granting immense cultivation potential], and in her previous life, she had reached the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm]. Her speed in re-cultivating was extraordinarily fast; she would likely restore her cultivation within a few million years. Bringing her along would undoubtedly prove to be an asset in time.

Having made their decision, the three of them immediately set off for the Frigid Immortal Domain, and before long, they returned to the Horizon Sea Grotto-Heaven [a blessed, secluded paradise realm].

Upon returning to the Horizon Sea Grotto-Heaven, Eldrin Chen discovered that Caelan, the Ancient Ancestor had broken through in cultivation, becoming the second Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm] of the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion, and moreover, one who possessed the Innate Divine Saint Physique [an even rarer and more powerful variant of the Innate Divine Foundation].

Everyone was overjoyed by this news. After offering their congratulations, they once again began the process of restoring their Mana.

It was at this very moment that a Daoist robed in violet arrived outside the Horizon Sea Grotto-Heaven. Upon meeting Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion, he spoke.

"Having heard that Fellow Daoist Tianya [a respectful form of address for a fellow cultivator, using his title] has returned to the mountain, this old Daoist has taken the liberty to visit. I pray you do not take offense." Support the author by reading on audio novel.com.
