Chapter 1719 : Claiming the Heavens' Fortune

Having spoken thus far, Eldrin Chen then turned his gaze towards Unfettered Great Center and said, "Next, I intend to gather the Fortune [the metaphysical luck and destiny of a realm] of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain. What are your plans, Fellow Daoist?"

"I understand."

Unfettered Great Center offered a bitter smile, realizing he had no choice in the matter.

Now that Eldrin Chen sought to claim the Fortune of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, if he did not submit, the two of them would likely have to do battle.

With this thought in mind, he spoke, "I shall lend you my aid."

"Excellent."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a faint smile.

After Unfettered Great Center submitted, the Thirty-Threefold Heavenly Domain was left with no rivals. The Human Race Alliance swiftly swept across and pacified the entire Thirty-Threefold Heavenly Domain.

Even the Nether Abyss Purgatory Sea, with its countless Demonic Cultivator [practitioners who cultivate using demonic or unorthodox methods], all bowed their heads. Those who had already transcended their Tribulation [a heavenly trial or calamity faced by cultivators to advance their cultivation] retreated into seclusion, while those who had not were easily subdued by Eldrin Chen and his forces.

After pacifying the Thirty-Three Heavens, the baleful energies [hostile or chaotic energies that accumulate in the world] between heaven and earth grew dense, and the Great Path [the fundamental laws and principles of cultivation and existence] flourished. Boundless calamitous fate [destiny intertwined with great disaster or tribulation] began to manifest across the land. Support the author by reading on audio–novel.com.

In the ages that followed, Eldrin Chen summoned billions of Human Race Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality] to lay down a super grand formation within the Thirty-Three Heavens [the highest celestial realms].

This formation was named the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Grand Formation. It was capable of gathering the Creation [the primordial creative force of the cosmos] power of the Thirty-Three Heavens and condensing boundless tribulation fortune energy.

Empowered by this formation, one's chances of achieving a breakthrough into the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation stage] could be increased by ten percent. If a being who had already attained the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation stood within the Formation Eye [the core nexus of the formation], there was even a possibility they could gain enlightenment into the path ahead and, in one fell swoop, cultivate the Forbidden Domain [a legendary and forbidden cultivation realm].

A grand formation of such scale, one that involved the entire Thirty-Threefold Heavenly Domain [the collective domain of the Thirty-Three Heavens], was truly immense. The materials required for its construction were even more astonishing.

Eldrin Chen, together with his allies, gathered thirty-three Innate Treasure [natural-born treasures of immense power], over three thousand Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [immortal weapons forged at the Primordial Unity realm], and countless other Immortal Treasure and Wonder [rare treasures and wonders of the immortal world]. It took them more than six thousand years to successfully complete its construction.

"Such potent Creation power," one of them murmured in awe.

Once the construction was finished, the gathered prodigies gazed upon the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Grand Formation, their faces alight with ecstatic joy.

After observing it for a long time, Wind Cloud Fearless finally spoke, "This boundless, majestic Creation power... it is truly worthy of a grand formation that gathers the Creation of an entire Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws]."

"Within this formation, I am seventy percent confident I can achieve Foundation Reforging [a divine ability to reforged one's cultivation foundation], taking that final, crucial step forward."

Heaven Sun's expression was calm. Gone was the arrogance of his former days; now he resembled a wise strategist from the School of Military Strategy [a renowned school of tactical thought].

He gazed upon the formation, pondering for a long while before finally speaking. "To gather the Creation [the primordial creative force of the universe] of an entire Immortal Domain to power a formation, drawing upon boundless tribulation and fate energy... this is perhaps the first time such a thing has ever been attempted in the history of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain."

"Even within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, such an undertaking is exceedingly rare."

"Today, if we can use this formation to undergo Foundation Reforging [a supreme tempering of one's cultivation foundation], even if we cannot advance our realm immediately, it will be enough to wash away all impurities and temper our cultivation bodies to a flawless, unblemished state. In the future, after breaking through to the Celestial Immortal [a high immortal realm], our cultivation speed might increase by several fold."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Upon reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, progress in cultivation becomes excruciatingly slow. Without external aids, it often takes millions of years just to advance a single minor stage.

Factor in bottlenecks and the scarcity of resources, and many great powers might cultivate diligently for tens of millions of years without gaining a single level of cultivation.

If one's body is tempered by tribulation and fate within this Formation [a powerful magical array], not only would future cultivation speed increase dramatically, but the bottlenecks would also be greatly reduced. With sufficient resources, everyone might be able to cultivate to the Late Celestial Immortal Realm within ten million years.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen decided not to delay any further. He spoke decisively, "Everyone, the grand formation is complete. Whether you can forge a supreme foundation now depends on your own Creation [the primordial creative force within you]."

"Enter the formation."

As his words fell, everyone stepped into the Formation.

Within this Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation [a supreme defensive formation modeled after the cosmos], there were a total of thirty-three Formation Eye [the core nodes that power and control a formation]. Eldrin Chen resided at the heart of the primary Formation Eye, while the others dispersed among the thirty-two secondary Formation Eye and began their secluded cultivation in earnest.

As everyone entered the formation, a boundless tide of Tribulation Fortune Power [the metaphysical force generated by cosmic calamities and fate] surged forth from between heaven and earth.

Sensing this immense power, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a trace of astonishment.

"This Tribulation Fortune Power is vast and limitless. It is boundless Tribulation [cosmic calamity], yet also boundless Creation [the act of genesis and life-giving power]. If one were to cultivate this path, gathering the fortune of all Heavenly Tribulation [divine retribution trials] unto oneself, one might ascend directly to the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [a supreme being who has mastered a fundamental cosmic principle and attained sagehood]."

"Alas, this is not my path."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a profound premonition stirring within him. At the very end of this Tribulation Fortune Great Path [the supreme Dao of harnessing calamity and fortune], there existed a throne, a seat destined for a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage. Original English translation available at audio-novel[dot]com.

However, Great Tribulation [epoch-ending calamity], Path Tribulation [trials faced on one's cultivation path], and Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles of destruction and rebirth]—all were manifestations of this boundless tribulation fortune. Whoever mastered this path would likely gain the power to meddle in the Tribulation of the Myriad Heavens [the infinite realms and dimensions of existence]. This was something the various Path Ancestor Immortal Sage and Divine Sovereign Heavenly Emperor [supreme rulers who are both divine sovereigns and heavenly emperors] would never tolerate.

Therefore, the road to cultivating this path to the Primordial One Great Encompassing Realm [the ultimate state of primordial unity and omnipresence] was destined to be fraught with unimaginable hardship and peril.

With this realization, Eldrin Chen set the thought aside. He positioned himself within the Thirty-Three Heavens Grand Formation, using the boundless power of Creation and tribulation fortune to cleanse and temper his physical body and soul.

The endless Tribulation Fortune Power continuously refined his flesh and spiritual energy. As time flowed, his physical form, his mana, his Path Principle [the fundamental laws of his cultivated Dao], and even his Divine Ability [supernatural powers born from cultivation] and Immortal Treasure [peerless artifacts used by immortals] became increasingly flawless and seamlessly integrated.

Under this boundless Creation [the primordial force of creation and genesis], the Earth Immortal World [the personal inner world of an Earth Immortal cultivator] within Eldrin Chen began to expand at an astonishing, ever-accelerating pace. In the blink of an eye, it had already surpassed a million light-years in span.

At such a staggering rate, it was only when the Earth Immortal World grew to three million light-years across that its furious expansion finally subsided, settling into a temporary calm.

A single Earth Immortal World, not yet transformed into a Celestial Immortal Universe [the vast, star-filled cosmos of a Celestial Immortal], had already reached a colossal three million light-years. Were this news to spread, it would stupefy every soul in the world.

One must understand that the Earth Immortal World of an ordinary Ninth Level Earth Immortal would likely be less than one-thousandth the size of Eldrin Chen's.

"My magic power is boundless, my cultivation foundation perfectly harmonized. The time for my breakthrough has come."

As this thought whispered in Eldrin Chen's mind, he felt his Path Principle [the divine ability embodying his comprehension of the Great Dao] and his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [the Primordial Unity Indestructible Physique] begin to merge and unify of their own accord, following the natural course of things.

A phantom Path Fruit [the condensed essence of a cultivator's Dao, representing their ultimate achievement] began to slowly take form. His Divine Ability [supernatural power derived from profound cultivation], his Path Principle, his physical body, his magic power, and his Immortal Treasure [a treasure of immortal grade]—all began to slowly fuse and intertwine.

Above the Three Blossoms [symbolic flowers representing a cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit], the Great Path Blossom [the Blossom of the Great Dao, symbolizing the Path Fruit] slowly unfurled its petals. In the end, it condensed into a single, flawless, and perfect Path Fruit.

"Fortune!"

As Eldrin Chen uttered the word, the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain [a vast realm within the immortal world] trembled. Boundless, endless Fortune Power [the metaphysical power of good fortune and destiny] surged forth from every direction, converging upon him like a cosmic tide.

The boundless Fortune Power [a metaphysical force representing destiny, luck, and providence] nearly solidified into substance, transforming into a vast, violet cloud of auspicious energy that gathered above Eldrin Chen's head, stretching across millions of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], blotting out the heavens and the sun.

In the end, the endless Fortune [a measure of one's destined luck and providence] surged towards Eldrin Chen, completely merging into that single Path Fruit [the condensed essence and culmination of a cultivator's chosen Dao or Path].

Having absorbed the boundless Fortune, the Path Fruit faintly revealed a profound violet hue, as if it contained immeasurable Fortune within its depths.

Its aura was one of supreme nobility, beyond words.

"It still lacks Merit [a metaphysical 'currency' representing accumulated good karma and virtuous deeds]," he murmured.

Watching the convergence of Fortune from afar, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle stirring in his heart.

According to his calculations, to cultivate the Immeasurable Path Fruit [a legendary, supreme-grade Path Fruit], he would require not only the aid of Fortune, but also a vast ocean of Merit.

In Eldrin Chen's deductions, it was also possible to cultivate the Immeasurable Path Fruit using Incense Offering Celestial Silver [a refined, solidified form of faith power and mortal wishes, used as a high-level cultivation resource].

Incense Offering Celestial Silver is condensed from the collective wishes and faith of living beings. If Eldrin Chen wished to rely on such faith to cultivate the Immeasurable Path Fruit, he would need at least one hundred million pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver.

Currently, by mobilizing the entire strength of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, Eldrin Chen might be able to gather one hundred million pieces of Incense Offering Celestial Silver. Continue your cultivation journey at www . audio-novel.com.
