Chapter 1791 : The Frigid Domain's Secret

Unaware of the news that the Golden-Winged Roc had arrived a step too late, the trio of Eldrin Chen pressed on without delay.

Daring not to linger within that expanse of Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the creation of the cosmos], they traversed the boundless spacetime of the Primordial Chaos and soon arrived at the borders of the Frigid Immortal Domain.

Upon reaching the Frigid Immortal Domain, they discovered that the Violet Radiance Grotto-Heaven had already returned ahead of them and had informed the others of the anomalies within that region of Primordial Chaos.

Shortly after their own return to the Frigid Immortal Domain, word spread that a coalition of five Ancient Immortal Great Power [powerful cultivators who have ascended to immortality in ancient times] had already departed together. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they had likely ventured forth to investigate the secrets of that Primordial Chaos region.

"It seems the greatest opportunity within that Peerless [a supreme grade denoting unparalleled power and rarity] Chaos Lair [a nest or dwelling formed within primordial chaos, often guarded by powerful beasts] is now beyond our reach,"

Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor remarked with a sigh upon receiving this news.

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. A force of five Ancient Immortal Great Power, including one Four Calamities Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived four heavenly tribulations], possessed strength sufficient to attempt an assault on a Peerless Chaos Lair.

The region of Primordial Chaos where the Three Thousand Immortal Domains resided was suppressed by a powerful field, resulting in sparse Chaos Qi [the primordial energy of chaos, the source of all creation]. This scarcity prevented the birth of excessively powerful Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from and dwelling within chaos].

By convention, even if a Peerless Chaos Lair existed, the Chaos Ancient Beast within would likely only rival an Ancient Immortals [a collective term for cultivators who have achieved immortality in ancient eras] who had survived the first three heavenly tribulations. It was rare for beings surpassing the third tribulation to be nurtured there.

Now, with a coalition of five Ancient Immortals joining forces, there was a significant possibility they could successfully claim it. Find this and other novels at audio - novel . com.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said, "Do not be disheartened. Such opportunities were never meant for us to grasp."

"Our most urgent task is to swiftly enhance our strength."

"Indeed."

Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor nodded in agreement, saying, "If I could step into the realm of Ancient Immortals [powerful cultivators who have transcended mortality], with the combat prowess of a Three Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an Ancient Immortal who has survived three Heavenly Tribulations], perhaps I could claim a share of the spoils."

"But since our strength is insufficient, it is best to abandon such thoughts early."

Speaking of this, Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor smiled and said, "Our gains from this journey are plentiful. Let us divide the spoils."

As he spoke, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion took out one precious treasure after another.

Eldrin Chen and Celestial Maiden exchanged a glance, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.

Their harvest this time was immense, containing not only rare Innate Marvels [naturally formed spiritual treasures of exceptional quality] but also the flesh and Inner Core [the condensed energy core of a powerful beast] of a Chaos Ancient Beast [a primordial beast born from Chaos].

Among these treasures, the most precious were the 'Immortal Spirit Fire Tree' [a divine tree imbued with immortal fire essence], the 'Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core' [the core of a spirit born from Chaos Flame], 'seventeen strands of Innate Qi' [primordial spiritual energy formed at the dawn of creation], and the flesh and Inner Core of the 'Chaos Flame-Horned Ox' [a Chaos-born ox with flaming horns].

Furthermore, there were more than a dozen other Innate Marvels [rare and wondrous objects formed by nature itself], each one a treasure of immense benefit to cultivation.

Everyone present felt their hearts stir with profound desire for these treasures.

As the most powerful among them, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion did not hesitate. His gaze settled upon the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree [an ancient tree imbued with immortal-grade fire spiritual energy] and the Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core [the crystallized core of a primordial flame spirit]. "The Immortal Spirit Fire Tree could serve as a supreme treasure to guard our sect's legacy," he declared. "The Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core would be of great aid to my personal cultivation."

"I am unwilling to let these two treasures slip away. In exchange, I shall leave the Innate Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] for the rest of you. What say you?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Maiden and Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance, then smiled. "The Innate Qi is precisely what we seek most ardently," they replied. "Even had you not spoken, Senior, we would have known which choice to make."

The Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion smiled in return and promptly claimed the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree and the Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, even without the flesh and blood essence, the Chaos Flame Spirit Inner Core alone would be sufficient to catalyze a profound transformation in the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's Physical Body [the refined and fortified corporeal form of a high-level cultivator], increasing his combat prowess by another ten to twenty percent.

As for the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree, being a High-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a tree of the highest innate grade, born from primordial chaos], its value was likely equivalent to more than half of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure forged in the primordial era], or to ten High-Grade Innate Treasure [high-quality treasures of innate origin].

If traded, whether for a top-tier Immortal Treasure [a treasure of immortal grade] or for other innate marvels to aid cultivation, it would undoubtedly allow the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's strength to undergo another qualitative leap.

At that time, the Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's power would ascend to yet another level. With such augmented strength, if he were to venture into the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] again in the future, he could afford to be more daring and aggressive, perhaps leading them to discover even greater quantities of Innate Qi.

Therefore, regarding this matter, Eldrin Chen found himself in full support within his heart.

Having witnessed Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion exchange for the two most precious treasures, Eldrin Chen discussed with Celestial Maiden and allocated the remaining spoils.

Of the seventeen strands of Innate Qi [the primordial energy that forms the foundation of all things], Eldrin Chen took twelve, while Celestial Maiden claimed the remaining five.

As for the other treasures, Celestial Maiden had insufficient merit points due to her lesser strength and contribution in the battle, so they all went to Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen took stock and found twelve Innate Marvels [objects born from primordial chaos, possessing immense power], all at the early or middle Innate stage, perfectly suited to serve as the Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable base for one's cultivation path] for the various Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm] of the Chen Immortal Clan.

Furthermore, the remains of several Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial monsters born from the formless chaos], including the flesh and Inner Core [the condensed essence and life force of a powerful beast] of the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox, also fell to Eldrin Chen. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel . com.

After all, in this battle, Eldrin Chen had slain the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox, participated in besieging the Chaos Immortal Spirit, single-handedly held off Aurelius the Golden-Winged, and used the Chaos Miasma [a toxic, formless vapor from the primordial chaos] to lead their escape from encirclement, securing the Chaos Immortal Flame Nest first.

One could say that if the trio's Merit Points [a metaphysical currency representing one's contributions and virtuous deeds] were divided into ten shares, with Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion claiming five, then Eldrin Chen deserved roughly four.

Having received such a bountiful share of treasures, Eldrin Chen was thoroughly satisfied.

He glanced at Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion and inquired, "Might Senior find the time to refine a furnace of Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [a legendary elixir refined through nine cycles, capable of greatly enhancing an immortal's cultivation] for this junior?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [the esteemed leader of the Horizon Sea Pavilion] could not help but smile and said, "Then allow me to lend you my aid."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen revealed a faint smile. His cultivation base was still somewhat lacking; although he was capable of refining the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [a supreme elixir requiring nine cycles of refinement], his Pill Success Rate [the likelihood of successfully completing an alchemical refinement] was still not high.

Therefore, he sought out Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion, wishing to request that he and myself join forces to refine the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox [a primordial beast born of chaos and flame] into the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

Having obtained Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion's agreement, the two of them wasted no time and immediately began refining the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [an immortal-grade elixir marked with cloud-like patterns] using the Chaos Flame-Horned Ox.

Both Eldrin Chen and Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion were Ninth Rank High Grade Alchemist [masters of the alchemical arts at the pinnacle of the ninth rank]. Between them, Eldrin Chen possessed superior comprehension and skill in Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual essences into pills and elixirs], yet he was hampered by the deficiency of his cultivation base.

Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion was a seasoned Ninth Rank High Grade Alchemist, but he lacked the transcendent comprehension that Eldrin Chen, who surpassed even Great Luo Golden Immortal [a legendary realm of immortal cultivation], possessed. His Alchemy level could only be considered competent, relying entirely on his profound cultivation and vast Mana [the spiritual energy or power wielded by cultivators] to elevate his Pill Success Rate.

Now, with the two of them combining their efforts in Alchemy, their strengths complemented each other, yielding remarkably effective results in refining this Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

After a mere five Millennium [a span of one thousand years], they successfully completed the refinement of this cauldron of Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill, producing a full five pills in total.

"Five pills from a single cauldron!"

Gazing upon the refined Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion felt a tremor of awe, unable to suppress a look of profound shock directed at Eldrin Chen.

Having cultivated for over ten million years and forged an Innate Divine Saint Physique through great fortune, he considered himself a peerless Heaven's Chosen, standing among the very pinnacle of power within the Immortal Domain.

Yet, during the entire Alchemy process just now, he had scarcely been able to interject. He had merely followed Eldrin Chen's instructions step by step, serving as little more than a tool to provide Mana [the spiritual energy used to power arts and techniques].

It was akin to a novice disciple first learning Alchemy, or a young child tracing characters under a tutor's guidance as they learned to write.

This realization left him deeply shaken, the experience feeling utterly inconceivable and filling his heart with astonishment.

"This man's talent and comprehension are as brilliant as the full moon in the Nine Heavens. I fear they are even more astounding than those of an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a being of immense power from the primordial era]," he thought.

At this moment, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion murmured inwardly, his worldview subtly shaken.

After all, he was a supreme powerhouse at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm, someone who could sit and discourse on the Dao as an equal even in the presence of an Ancient Immortals Ancient Ancestor [a progenitor from the dawn of time]. How could he have been reduced to the level of a mere pupil before Eldrin Chen?

Did this not imply that the genius of even an Ancient Immortals Ancient Ancestor paled in comparison to Eldrin Chen's?

With this thought, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion rose and offered a formal bow. "Today, thanks to your guidance, my Alchemy has advanced significantly. You have my deepest gratitude."

"Senior, why must you go to such lengths?"

Eldrin Chen promptly rose to support him, replying with a smile, "If not for your intervention, with my Mana [the spiritual energy used to perform arts and techniques], I fear this batch of pills would have yielded at most only three."

"By that reasoning, it is I who owes you a debt of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [a title for a powerful cultivator] adopted a solemn expression and declared, "On the Immortal Path [the path of cultivation towards immortality], the accomplished are the teachers. The guidance you have given me today cannot be measured against the value of three mere Pill [a refined medicinal elixir used for cultivation]."

Seeing his resolve, Eldrin Chen chose not to press the matter further.

This session of Alchemy [the art of refining medicinal pills] had indeed brought Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor [an ancient and venerable cultivator] a significant breakthrough. Henceforth, his Pill Success Rate [the number of successful pills yielded per batch] for Ninth Rank High Grade [a high-tier classification for pills] Pill should stabilize around four per batch. For Ninth Rank [the ninth tier of pill classification] mid and low-grade pills, his yield could increase by a full third.

This was no small feat. Previously, Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor's Alchemy skill for Ninth Rank High Grade Pill would yield only one or two per batch, often resulting in a net loss. This improvement was truly substantial.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen offered a gentle smile and said, "The Dao of Alchemy [the art of refining medicinal pills], whether concerning the medicinal properties of lower-grade pills or the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality] and Great Dao [the supreme, all-encompassing path or principle] within higher-grade ones, ultimately rests upon the principle of Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy [a traditional Chinese medical/alchemical framework describing the roles of ingredients]."

"If you can fully comprehend the Innate Dao Principles [the inherent natural laws and principles] within the medicinal ingredients and master their profound mysteries, your Pill Success Rate will naturally see a great leap forward."

Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor nodded in understanding, though a trace of a wry smile touched his lips.

To comprehend the Dao Principles [the fundamental truths of existence and cultivation] hidden within medicinal herbs was no simple feat. Lacking the profound enlightenment of Eldrin Chen, who perceived the Great Dao [the supreme, all-encompassing Way] as clearly as lines upon his own palm, he could only mimic the established form. He diligently followed the method pioneered by Eldrin Chen to maximize the Pill Success Rate [the likelihood of successfully concocting a pill].

Returning to the main thread, having successfully refined five Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [a supreme-grade pill refined through nine cycles of transformation], Eldrin Chen was thoroughly satisfied.

Next, the two joined forces once more to refine the Chaos Immortal Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos] Inner Core [the condensed spiritual core of a powerful beast]. They transformed it into a single Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [an immortal pill marked with swirling cloud-like patterns], whose medicinal potency was astonishing, approaching that of a Ninth Rank Peerless [the highest possible grade of treasure] item. It could rightly be called a quasi-Innate Ancient Pill [a pill of legendary, heaven-defying quality].

With this task complete, Eldrin Chen intended to refine a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill to enhance his Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary constitution of unbreakable, primordial origin]. Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor thus took his leave to prepare for refining the Ninth Rank Peerless Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill.

After Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor departed, Eldrin Chen decisively consumed and began refining one of the Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill. His Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique immediately experienced another noticeable surge in power.

He proceeded to ingest three Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill in succession. After his Physical Body [the strength and resilience of the corporeal form] power skyrocketed by another thirty percent, Eldrin Chen finally ceased, refraining from further refinement of the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

The reason for halting was not reluctance to part with the precious pills. Rather, further refinement would cause an imbalance between his Laws of the Dao [comprehension and mastery over fundamental cosmic laws], Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path and enlightenment], and Physical Body.

Eldrin Chen's current combat prowess, rivaling an Eighth Heaven Immortal [an immortal of the eighth heavenly tier], stemmed not solely from his formidable Physical Body. The greater source was the qualitative transformation born from the perfect fusion and unity of his Physical Body, Dao Fruit, and Laws of the Dao—a synergy further amplified by the power of his various Immortal Treasure [treasures wielded by immortal beings] and Divine Ability [supernatural powers granted by profound cultivation].

Should his Physical Body grow powerful enough to surpass the combined strength of his Dao Fruit and Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power techniques], these three foundational forces would fall into severe disharmony. The sublime, transformative fusion would shatter.

Thereafter, with the three powers no longer unified, relying solely on the raw might of the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique—no matter how immense—would only place him at the peak level of a Seventh Heaven Immortal [an immortal of the seventh heavenly tier]. Such an outcome would, paradoxically, cause Eldrin Chen's overall strength to plummet drastically.

After all, without the qualitative transformation of the three-in-one union, Eldrin Chen's Mana would plummet to the level of the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm. Whether channeling Divine Ability or wielding Immortal Treasure, their power would be drastically diminished, no longer allowing him to contend head-on with those in the Late Heaven Immortal Realm.

"Having consecutively consumed five Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, I have reached the absolute limit for maintaining equilibrium."

"Now, my comprehension of Dao Principles and the maturation of my Dao Fruit have reached a bottleneck. It seems I must break through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm swiftly to continue taking the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, finally storing away the remaining two Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

Having secured the two remaining pills, Eldrin Chen emerged from his Seclusion Chamber to find that Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor and the Celestial Maiden had also concluded their own secluded cultivation.

This session was not a major breakthrough for Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor, but after consuming the Chaos Immortal Spirit's Inner Core, the resilience of his Innate True Body had increased by forty to fifty percent. His overall combat prowess had risen by nearly twenty percent, marking a significant gain in strength.

Yet, despite this progress, when Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor saw Eldrin Chen, his expression held not joy but a complex gravity. "You've emerged just in time," he said, his voice solemn. "This news has just arrived."

As he spoke, Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor handed a sealed letter to Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen took it and scanned its contents. Instantly, his expression tightened, shock washing over his features. He could not help but exclaim.

"How is this possible?"

It was not that Eldrin Chen was being overly alarmed; the news recorded within that letter was simply too astonishing.

The message in the letter was brief, consisting of merely a single line. Its meaning was that Taixun the Ancient Ancestor and four other Ancient Immortals [powerful cultivators who have transcended numerous heavenly tribulations] had joined forces to explore a Peerless [the highest grade of treasure] Chaos Lair [a perilous domain born from primordial chaos]. After a single battle, three had perished and two were grievously wounded. Even Taixun the Ancient Ancestor, a Four Calamities Ancient Immortal [an Ancient Immortal who has survived four Heavenly Tribulations], had returned severely injured.

This news was truly earth-shattering. One must understand that Ancient Immortal Great Power [a title for an Ancient Immortal of immense strength] are existences that have weathered Calamity Tribulation [heavenly trials that test a cultivator's Dao] and remained unperished. Such figures have dominated their Immortal Domain [a vast realm within the cosmos] for at least several hundred million years and are considered exceedingly difficult to slay.

Furthermore, within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] that surrounds the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [a conventional term for the myriad realms of the cosmos], ordinary cultivators at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the first major stage of the Celestial Immortal realm] would find their power suppressed by sixty to seventy percent. Those at the Late Heaven Immortal Realm [the final major stage of the Heaven Immortal realm] would face suppression of around fifty percent.

However, Ancient Immortals, having broken through the Tenfold Heavenly Pass [a legendary bottleneck representing ten times the normal difficulty], do not suffer such severe suppression from the Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy of chaos].

Generally speaking, an Ancient Immortal Great Power would only have their combat prowess suppressed by twenty to thirty percent. This means they can unleash seventy percent, or even more than eighty percent, of their peak strength.

Given such formidable Ancient Immortal Great Power, and with a full five of them joining forces, it would be understandable if they failed to conquer the Chaos Lair. But how could they possibly perish so mysteriously within a mere Peerless Chaos Lair?

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen could not help but ask, "What in the heavens actually happened?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Maiden [a title for a powerful female immortal] wore an expression of utmost gravity. After a long pause, she said, "During your period of secluded cultivation, rumors have been swirling throughout the Frigid Immortal Domain."

"According to the accounts of the two Ancient Immortals who returned, that region of Primordial Chaos did not contain a Ninth Rank Supreme Grade Chaos Nest [a Chaos Lair of the highest possible grade]. Instead, it was the ruins of a shattered Immortal Domain."

"A shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and celestial principles]?"

Eldrin Chen was slightly startled, a look of astonishment flashing across his features.

Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor nodded and continued, "Legend has it that it is a shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and celestial principles] that drifted in from beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]. Its origins are lost to time, but it is believed to be the legacy of a predecessor who attained the Great Luo [a supreme realm of cultivation] within the Depths of Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse beyond ordered reality]."

"Its interior contains a Seventh Heaven [a high-level region within an Immortal Domain] domain. Because it drifts within the Primordial Chaos [the primeval, undifferentiated state of existence] and possesses the wondrous properties of a Heavenly Dao Source Artifact [an artifact born from the source of the Heavenly Dao, possessing immense power], it has attracted a vast number of Chaos Ancient Beast [ancient creatures born from and adapted to the Primordial Chaos] to nest within it."

"It is said that within this shattered Celestial Domain [synonymous with Immortal Domain], there are at least several thousand Chaos Ancient Beast [ancient creatures born from and adapted to the Primordial Chaos], with suspicions of seven Ninth Rank Supreme Grade Chaos Nest [the highest-grade lairs formed from concentrated Chaos energy]. More than a dozen Chaos Beast King [rulers among Chaos Ancient Beasts], comparable in power to Ancient Immortals [immortals who have existed since ancient times], have been discovered there."

"During that battle, five Ancient Immortals [immortals who have existed since ancient times] were besieged by eight or nine Chaos Beast King [rulers among Chaos Ancient Beasts]. A particularly powerful Chaos Beast King, comparable to a Fifth Rank [a specific tier within the Ancient Immortal realm] Ancient Immortals, even joined the fray. As a result, three of the Ancient Immortals did not even have a chance to escape."

"A shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and celestial principles] from beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]?"

Eldrin Chen was inwardly shaken and could not help but ask, "Are there other Immortal Domain [realms governed by immortal laws and celestial principles] beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]?"

Horizon Sea Ancient Ancestor nodded, speaking calmly, "Although the interior of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation] is stable, it is suppressed by the Primal Immortal Domain [the original, foundational Immortal Domain], resulting in sparse Chaos Qi [the primordial energy from which all things are formed]. This is not conducive to promoting a Cosmos [a lesser world or universe] to ascend into an Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and celestial principles], nor is it beneficial for the cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has attained the Great Luo realm]."

"Therefore, nearly all inhabited Immortal Domain [realms governed by immortal laws and celestial principles] are located in the deep Sea of Chaos [the vast, liquid-like expanse of concentrated Primordial Chaos] beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]. There, Chaos Qi [the primordial energy from which all things are formed] is boundless and infinite, forming a liquid Sea of Chaos. One could say treasures litter the ground; it is a land of limitless opportunities."

"In this era, the Three Great Celestial Courts [the three supreme governing bodies of the immortal realms], the various Great Luo Ancient Sects [ancient sects of immense power and heritage], and the Hundred Spirit Immortal Races [the myriad immortal races of spiritual beings]—nearly all of their Great Luo Golden Immortals [Golden Immortals who have attained the Great Luo realm, a pinnacle of cultivation] and even Ancient Immortal Great Powers [venerable immortals who have transcended at least four heavenly tribulations] cultivate and wander within the Sea of Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse beyond the ordered realms]."

Speaking of this, Master of the Horizon Sea Pavilion [the master of a renowned pavilion located at the edge of the known world] sighed and said with a bitter smile, "The Sea of Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse beyond the ordered realms] beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the three thousand major realms of order and cultivation] is a place of infinite opportunity, yet also the most perilous and terrifying of all."

"There exist Chaos Fiends [primordial beings of chaos whose power rivals that of Great Luo Golden Immortals], and even Chaos Progenitor Spirits [the primordial source-spirits of chaos, whose might is said to equal that of Dao Ancestor Immortal Sages]. Each is an indescribable, unfathomable existence."

"There, earth-shattering, epoch-defining battles frequently erupt. Any single one of those conflicts, if it occurred within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the three thousand major realms of order and cultivation], would be enough to shake the very annals of history."

"Let alone Heaven Immortals [immortals who have ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm] like us, even Great Luo Golden Immortals [Golden Immortals who have attained the Great Luo realm, a pinnacle of cultivation] can fall there. Entire Immortal Domains [realms governed by immortal laws and energies] have been shattered by Chaos Demon Gods [supreme demonic entities born from the primal chaos]."

"This shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and energies] before us was most likely an Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws and energies] broken by a Chaos Fiend [a primordial being of chaos whose power rivals that of Great Luo Golden Immortals]. It must have drifted along the Chaotic Torrent [the turbulent currents of raw chaos] by chance, ending up within the bounds of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the three thousand major realms of order and cultivation]."
