Chapter 1613 : Xunfeng Deity
What was even more astonishing was that space itself had been congealed by some supreme Dao Principle force, preventing him from escaping via the Yin-Yang Void Mirror. "Such formidable 8 Directions Gale! This level of power is enough to erode even a Celestial Immortal's physical body."
"Even the origin source of a Celestial Immortal powerhouse cannot be easily extinguished by mere winds. Yet if trapped within this spatial realm, subjected day and night to the assault of winds from all 8 directions, 1’s primordial essence would inevitably be eroded away over time—flesh and bones gradually dissolving into nothingness."
Eldrin murmured softly, his expression involuntarily darkening with gravity.
Though the lethality of these 8 winds paled in comparison to the Innate Ice Soul Spiritual Water, let alone the power of the 9 Heavens' divine thunder, once trapped within them, 1 would inevitably meet their doom sooner or later.
"No, I must find a point of equilibrium."
Eldrin murmured softly, then turned his gaze toward the nexus where the 8 winds converged.
At the very core, a wondrous, ever-spinning vortex had formed. Within it, 2 dazzling spiritual lights rotated in place, buffeted by winds from all 8 directions. "Could those be relics left behind by celestial immortals who fell in ancient times?"
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, an involuntary flicker of astonishment crossing his features.
He surveyed his surroundings, his mind briefly contemplating before swiftly settling on a decision.
These 8 Directional Winds were the fierce gales gathered from all corners of the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, converging high above the heavens before ultimately coalescing into a single point.
"To forcibly resist the winds from all directions would be no different from opposing the entire Wind Dao of the Azure Heaven Immortal Domain. Even a late-stage Celestial Immortal might not succeed."
"Far better to harness the power of the 8-Sided Winds, first entering the eye of the storm to cultivate. Once the deed is accomplished, we can make further plans."
As his thoughts wavered, Eldrin immediately harnessed the power of the 8 Winds, soaring toward the eye of the tempest. In moments, he stood within its turbulent heart. "Such formidable power of the 8 Winds."
The moment he stepped into the eye of the wind, Eldrin felt an immensely powerful strange wind enveloping him, whirling around him relentlessly and causing him to spin in place.
In the blink of an eye, it drained him of his vital essence and blood, and even his physical body began to wither away.
"Not good."
Eldrin's heart jolted with alarm as he instantly realized this extraordinary wind was an amalgamation of 8 distinct primordial winds, potent enough to swiftly obliterate even a Celestial Immortal powerhouse.
He ignored the celestial relics beside him and immediately began channeling his entire cultivation base. While using the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to withstand the bizarre winds, he continuously activated the Laws of Life to restore his physical strength.
Fortunately, Eldrin's (Person Name) Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body possessed remarkable resistance against foreign energies. Coupled with the Primordial Chaos Infinite law continuously restoring his physical form, he managed to avoid being utterly annihilated body and soul on the spot. However, under the relentless assault of the marvelous wind formed by the convergence of 8 winds into 1, even with the restorative power of the Primordial Chaos Infinite law of life, Eldrin's (Person Name) flesh soon began to wither and decay.
Yet amidst this cycle of depletion and restoration, Eldrin found his physical body growing progressively more resilient, his resistance to this uncanny wind gradually strengthening.
Thus, time continued to rush by in haste, and in the blink of an eye, a millennium had passed.
Until this day, Eldrin opened his eyes. His nearly withered body gradually began to recover, ultimately transforming into a tall and slender figure.
The Path of Wind Vein cultivation has been mastered.
Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile glimmering in his eyes.
In this round of cultivation, Eldrin discovered that the impurities within his physical body had been nearly cleansed away, and the essence of his 5 viscera had grown increasingly pure. The Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had improved significantly. First and foremost, Eldrin sensed that the power of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had increased by another 20 percent.
Secondly, his resistance to wind-based supernatural powers and treasures had greatly increased. From now on, lower-grade innate wind treasures could no longer inflict fatal injuries upon Eldrin.
At this stage, Eldrin's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had become utterly pure and flawless, akin to a priceless piece of supreme-grade Taiyi Immortal Gold.
Next, it only needed to be tempered by sufficiently powerful thunder and lightning to be thoroughly perfected and formed, becoming a divine weapon rarely seen since ancient times.
Eldrin believed that once his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body reached perfection, he would be able to withstand even a Primordial Immortal Artifact with his bare flesh.
"Once I take that step, perhaps even a low-grade Innate Treasure will no longer be able to inflict fatal injuries upon me."
Eldrin spoke softly, then withdrew his thoughts. Instead of immediately thinking of departure, he turned his gaze to the 2 streams of spiritual light spinning and dancing incessantly beside him.
"A rare treasure left behind by a suspected Celestial Immortal after their fall?"
Eldrin murmured softly under his breath before retrieving the 2 sacred artifacts.
He picked up the 2 treasures and examined them, finding an ancient azure sword and a pale green gourd.
Mid-grade Taiyi Immortal Weapon, Xunwind Ancient Sword (Magic Treasure).
Lower-Grade Innate Treasure, Innate Ancient Gourd of Xun Wind.
Eldrin performed a series of divinations through aura perception, swiftly deducing the origins of these 2 treasures. An expression of pleasant surprise dawned upon his face. These artifacts turned out to be the primordial companion treasure and legendary guardian relic of the Celestial Zephyr Sovereign, dating back 8 100 million years.
In those years, the Wind God of Xun came to the Whirling Ruins of Immortality in order to break through to the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, seeking to leverage this place to advance to the mid-tier Celestial Immortal level.
He had believed that by cultivating the principles of wind, even if he couldn't successfully break through to the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm, he should at least be able to leave unscathed.
In the end, whether he had overestimated himself or underestimated the sheer terror of the Floating Abyss Grotto-Heaven, not only did he fail to achieve a breakthrough, but he ended up trapped within the Floating Abyss Grotto-Heaven itself.
After the Fallen Wind Celestial met his demise, the treasures he left behind were not few in number. Yet in the end, the vast majority of these treasures were destroyed, leaving only these 2 peerless artifacts forged from extraordinary materials to endure.
"I never imagined that a trip through the forbidden grounds would yield such an unexpected reward."
Eldrin's heart surged with sudden delight, and he hurriedly sought to retrieve the 2 treasures. Yet in that very instant, a faint unease prickled at his senses. Without hesitation, he channeled his magical power, attempting to refine the Ancient Gourd of the Xun Wind. As expected, he found himself utterly unable to bind the ancient artifact to his will.
"Kid, you've found me out."
At that very moment, a cold voice emanated from the Ancient Gourd of Primordial Xun Wind.
Eldrin extended his divine sense and immediately discovered that within the Xunwind Ancient Gourd (Magic Treasure), a withered, skeletal figure slowly emerged.
"God of the Gale, you truly haven't perished?"
A jolt of alarm shot through Eldrin's heart, his expression turning exceedingly grave as he spoke.
He had sensed something amiss in that very instant, realizing that since this Ancient Gourd of the Xunwind still remained, the Xunwind Celestial Divinity was likely hiding within the Ancient Gourd of the Xunwind’s vessel. As it turned out, his suspicions were correct. This sent a chill of retrospective fear through Eldrin (Person Name). Had he taken the Ancient Gourd of the Xunwind out with him earlier, he would almost certainly have landed himself in an immense predicament.
Death?
From within that ancient gourd, the withered being let out a cold sneer.
"I am the exalted Heavenly Deity, the Lord of the Xunwind Dao whose brilliance illuminates all realms—how could I possibly fall so easily?"
