Chapter 1754 : The Vase of Heaven and Earth Ascends

After merely three strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme, primordial energy of creation and chaos], the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel capable of nurturing and refining the essence of the cosmos] had already advanced to the rank of an Upper Grade Innate Treasure [a top-tier treasure born from the world's natural laws].

An Upper Grade Innate Treasure-grade Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth was increasingly profound and mysterious. Yet, it still could not help the Innate Ancient Tree [a primordial tree of immense age and spiritual power] break through its bottleneck to ascend. Therefore, Eldrin Chen continued refining two more strands of Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the most foundational and potent form of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura].

"*Hummm—*"

As the final strand of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura was refined, the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth suddenly erupted with Innate [born of nature, not crafted] wondrous light. A total of thirteen Innate Path Patterns [natural, cosmic patterns that embody fundamental laws] manifested and took form within it.

Even more astonishingly, as those thirteen Innate Path Patterns intertwined and overlapped, a profound and obscure Innate Embryonic Great Path [the nascent, unformed seed of a supreme cosmic law] was born from their convergence.

"The Innate Primordial Chaos Embryonic Great Path,"

Witnessing this scene, Exquisite Jiang could not help but exclaim, her eyes shining with brilliance.

Eldrin Chen also gave a slight nod, speaking calmly, "This Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth can now be considered the most basic form of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure of supreme rank, born in antiquity from the world's foundational principles]."

Innate Ancient Treasure themselves are also divided into grades, typically categorized into two stages: the twelve-pattern stage and the twenty-four-pattern stage.

Twelve Innate Path Patterns can interweave to form an Embryonic Great Path [the foundational, unformed seed of a supreme cosmic law or cultivation method]. Published by audio-novel dot com. All rights reserved.

And twenty-four Innate Path Patterns can be interwoven to form two Innate Embryonic Great Path [the foundational principles of a nascent supreme cultivation art].

The gap between a Twelve-Rune Innate Ancient Treasure and a twenty-four-rune Innate Ancient Treasure is immense. As for the differences between thirteen runes, twenty-three runes, or anything in between, the disparity in power is not that great, amounting to at most a twenty to thirty percent difference.

The limit for an Innate Ancient Treasure is twenty-four Innate Path Patterns. Exceeding twenty-four runes qualifies it as an Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo [a nascent form of an innate spiritual treasure, still in the process of formation].

So-called Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo generally refer to Innate Spiritual Treasure [treasures born of heaven and earth, possessing immense natural power] that are still in the process of gestation. For example, the current Returning Abyss Pearl already possesses over thirty Innate Path Patterns.

Such an Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo will almost certainly mature into a full Innate Spiritual Treasure barring any mishaps. They are exceedingly rare and require no further elaboration.

However, the gap between a Twelve-Rune Innate Ancient Treasure and a twenty-four-rune Innate Ancient Treasure is not insignificant.

Currently, this Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth possesses only thirteen Innate Path Patterns, classifying it as an ordinary Innate Ancient Treasure.

Even so, this Innate Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth has undergone a qualitative transformation compared to its state before its advancement.

Eldrin Chen attempted to refine a single drop of Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with innate spiritual essence]. He discovered that after the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth's advancement, the Innate Spiritual Water contained within now harbored a trace of Great Path [Supreme Dao] power. Its wondrous effects were now incomparable to its previous state.

Firstly, the healing efficacy of this Innate Heaven-Earth Primordial Energy Water [Innate Spiritual Water from the Primordial Energy Vase] was greatly enhanced. A mere one thousand drops could heal nearly any injury sustained by a cultivator at the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, its ability to accelerate growth had also increased significantly. Even when used on an Innate Ancient Tree [a primordial tree born of heaven and earth, possessing immense spiritual power], it showed considerable effect.

Most importantly, after advancing to an Innate Ancient Treasure [a primordial artifact born of the cosmos, possessing profound power], this Innate Heaven-Earth Primordial Energy Water [a primordial water containing the foundational energies of creation] gained a trace of the elusive power of the Great Path [the fundamental laws governing all existence]. This power could help an Innate Ancient Tree shatter its shackles and ascend to a Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a higher grade of primordial ancient tree].

Although it still could not promote a tree to a High-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [the highest grade of primordial ancient tree], Eldrin Chen estimated that once the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth [a treasure vase capable of gathering and refining the primordial energies of creation] advanced to become a top-tier Innate Ancient Treasure with twenty-four Dao patterns, it would then be able to help an Innate Ancient Tree break the shackles of the Ninth Rank High-Grade [the pinnacle of the ninth rank].

Unfortunately, as the wondrous uses of the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth increased, the amount of Immortal Source [a crystallized form of pure immortal energy used as high-level currency and cultivation resource] consumed to transform Innate Spiritual Water [spiritual water imbued with innate properties] also greatly increased.

Previously, Eldrin Chen needed only ten thousand Immortal Source to transform a single drop of Innate Spiritual Water. Now, however, one hundred thousand Immortal Source were required to produce a single drop.

To help one Innate Ancient Tree break through its bottleneck and ascend to a Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree required three thousand drops of Innate Spiritual Water. Calculated, that amounted to three hundred million pieces of Immortal Source.

Three hundred million pieces of Immortal Source—this was no small price.

Of course, any Celestial Immortal Great Power [a powerful being who has ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] would willingly pay the price of three hundred million Immortal Source in exchange for one Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree.

After all, Immortal Source held limited use for a Celestial Immortal Great Power, while a Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree was an object countless Celestial Immortal [immortals who have transcended the mortal realm] dreamed of possessing. Forget three hundred million Immortal Source—there were plenty who would pay three billion, or even thirty billion.

To give just one example, the giant Immortal Source Ore [a massive vein of ore rich in Immortal Source] in the Abyssal Cavern Sea Region [a vast, deep-sea region known for its mineral wealth] alone could yield over two hundred million pieces of Immortal Source every ten thousand years.

The time required for a single Path Tribulation [a major heavenly trial faced by cultivators to advance their cultivation path] amounts to tens of billions of them.

The two great Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm or paradise for cultivation] powers of Western Essence Divine Abyss have monopolized the ore veins for over a hundred million years. The Immortal Source [a highly concentrated and pure form of spiritual energy crystal] they have obtained must number in the trillions. Even if the majority has been consumed, spending tens of billions of Immortal Source to purchase a single Mid-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a primordial tree born from the world's essence, of intermediate quality] would be effortless for them.

However, Innate Ancient Tree [a primordial tree born from the world's essence] are exceedingly rare. They serve as foundational treasures that major Grotto-Heaven use to anchor their Fortune [the luck, destiny, and accumulated blessings of a person or organization]. Unless faced with a truly existential crisis, no Celestial Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] would be willing to part with such a treasure.

After understanding the wondrous functions of the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth, Exquisite Jiang could not help but remark, "As we anticipated, this treasure's ascension to an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth] has fulfilled our expectations."

"It seems the time has come for us to prepare to elevate our Earth Immortal World [a world cultivated and governed by an Earth Immortal]."

Eldrin Chen nodded and inquired, "How many Immortal Source has the clan managed to accumulate?" Original English translation available at audio-novel-dot-com.

"Over the past eight hundred thousand years, the Immortal Alliance received its share of eighty billion pieces from the Immortal Source Ore Vein [a vein rich in Immortal Source crystals] in the Abyssal Cavern Sea. I have exchanged them all for Merits [metaphysical currency representing good karma] and Immortal Artifact [an artifact forged or used by immortals], storing them within the Clan Treasury."

Exquisite Jiang recounted the clan's current Immortal Source reserves with precision: "Furthermore, the clan's various enterprises over the years have yielded an additional one point three billion pieces of Immortal Source."

"Adding the proceeds from selling Immortal Artifact and other Spiritual Object [objects imbued with or containing spiritual energy], along with the surplus from earlier years, we have approximately thirteen point seven billion pieces of Immortal Source remaining."

"Thirteen point seven billion?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "One hundred and thirty-seven billion Immortal Source [a highly concentrated and potent form of spiritual energy used by immortals] are only enough to advance forty-five Innate Ancient Tree [ancient trees born with innate spiritual properties]."

"I have opened twenty-four layers of heaven, and you have opened twenty-one. Combined, that makes forty Fivefold Heaven [a specific stage in a cultivator's internal universe development]. This amount of Immortal Source is barely sufficient for just the two of us."

At this point, Eldrin Chen frowned and added, "And that's not even accounting for accelerating the growth of the Innate Spiritual Root [the foundational spiritual root of a cultivator, determining their talent and affinity]. If we include that, the consumption of Immortal Source would increase by another thirty percent."

Hearing this, Exquisite Jiang also nodded in agreement.

Currently, within the Chen Immortal Clan, there were eleven Immaculate Celestial Immortal [a high-level immortal realm denoting purity and celestial power]: Eldrin Chen, Exquisite Jiang, Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, Lila, Violet Consort Yan, Energy Abyss Chen, Ethan Chen, Worthy Verdancy Chen, Verdant Seal Patriarch, and Worthy Longevity Chen.

Within the internal universes of these eleven members of the Chen Clan, more than three hundred Innate Ancient Tree had been planted in total.

Forget about one hundred and thirty-seven billion Immortal Source; to advance everyone, even one trillion Immortal Source might not be enough.

Thinking of this, Exquisite Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you plan to do?"

"I plan to sell the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo [a legendary type of bamboo symbolizing primordial unity and possessing immense spiritual value]!"

Eldrin Chen stated decisively, his expression calm and composed.

Upon hearing this, Exquisite Jiang's eyes brightened slightly, yet a trace of concern also surfaced within them.

The Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo is one of the most cost-effective materials for crafting Primordial Unity Immortal Artifact within the Immortal Domain, yet it is also the most versatile.

This is because the Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo possesses remarkable resilience and Immortality [a property of extreme durability and resistance to decay]. It can not only be forged into swords but also used to construct Ninth Rank Ancient Ship capable of traversing the Chaos [the primordial, formless void between worlds].

The power of a single Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo Sword may not be overwhelming. However, when a dozen, or even several dozen, such swords are combined into a Sword Formation [a coordinated array of flying swords that amplifies their collective power], they can unleash a force of unparalleled might.

For this reason, when the great powers of the Immortal Domain procure Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo, they do so in vast, wholesale batches.

Those who forge swords from it typically purchase it in sets of thirty-six, seventy-two, or even one hundred and eight stalks at a time.

As for those constructing Ninth Rank Ancient Ship, they buy it by the hundreds or even thousands. Consequently, the consumption of Primordial Unity Golden Bamboo is immense, and there is never a worry about finding a market for it. Access the full story on https://audio-novel.com.
