Chapter 1773 : Ancient Treasures and Chaos Depths

"I shall accompany you as well."

Seeing the two of them decide to venture into the Depths of Chaos together, Selene Su could not help but speak up.

Upon hearing this, Horizon Patriarch pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "The Depths of Chaos are far too perilous. For one at the Third Heaven Celestial Immortal Realm to intervene would be far too risky."

Hearing his words, a shadow of disappointment flickered in Selene Su's eyes.

She sighed softly. "It is a pity my cultivation is insufficient. If I could break through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm and fully refine the Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus [a legendary spiritual lotus born from the essence of the coldest heavens], perhaps then I could be of aid."

Eldrin Chen understood. The Frigid Heaven Snow Lotus was a Quasi-Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure of immense power, born from primordial chaos and nearly on par with true Innate Treasures] inscribed with Eleven Runes [mystical symbols of immense power]. Once fully refined and used for protection, its power would likely be enough to withstand a siege by cultivators at the Late Celestial Immortal Realm.

Most crucially, in her previous life as a top-tier Patriarch at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm, Selene Su had left behind not just one, but several Upper Grade Innate Treasure [the highest grade of treasures born from the primordial chaos of creation] as her ultimate trump cards.

Once she broke through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm, she would be able to wield those hidden aces from her past life.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen spoke. "During my time in the Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], I managed to slay two Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts that roam the formless Chaos]. Their essence can be refined into two batches of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill [a supreme-grade elixir that can drastically enhance one's foundation]."

"Perhaps, Selene Su, you should refine them. See if they can help you achieve the Minor Completion Innate True Body [a foundational state where one's physical form begins to harmonize with the innate laws of the cosmos]." Access the full story on audio‑novel.com.

Hearing this, the Celestial Maiden felt a stirring in her heart, yet she still said, "The Chaos Ancient Beast Flesh and Inner Pill [the flesh and core of a primordial beast from the dawn of creation] is far too precious. How could I possibly accept it?"

"My wife once inherited your Immortal Ascension Art [a profound method for ascending to immortality]. Consider this a repayment of that Karma [the cosmic principle of cause and effect, action and consequence]."

Eldrin Chen smiled and still handed the two Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial creatures from the dawn of creation] to the Celestial Maiden.

As this matter concerned the Path [the fundamental Dao or Way of cultivation], the Celestial Maiden did not refuse. Yet, a wave of emotion washed over her. The Immortal Artifact [a powerful enchanted object used by immortals] she had left behind in the Vast Azure Realm was merely a legacy from the mere Ascendant Immortal Realm [a foundational stage of immortality] and a small amount of Frost Soul Water [a rare spiritual liquid that nourishes the soul].

Now, she had received the flesh and Inner Pill [the condensed energy core of a powerful beast or cultivator] of a Chaos Ancient Beast gifted by Eldrin Chen, a treasure whose value had increased by a factor of a millionfold.

Thinking of this, the Celestial Maiden could only say in the end, "I still possess some Innate Energy [the primordial, untainted energy one is born with]. With this Chaos Ancient Beast, I am confident I can break through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of celestial immortality] within three thousand years."

"By then, I should be able to lend you my aid."

"Truly?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of joy and could not help but look towards the Horizon Patriarch.

The Horizon Patriarch nodded, then spoke, "Then we shall wait another three thousand years. We will seek vengeance only after you have made your breakthrough."

"Then I shall commence the alchemical process for you," he declared, his voice carrying the weight of a solemn vow.

Eldrin Chen offered a faint, knowing smile. Without further delay, he ignited the furnace and began refining the Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill.

In truth, Eldrin Chen's mastery of the alchemical arts had long since brushed against the threshold of the Ninth Rank High-Grade. Crafting a pill of this Ninth Rank Lower Grade Immortal Pill caliber presented little challenge; his success rate was exceedingly high, and the process itself was remarkably swift.

Furthermore, Horizon Patriarch was himself a highly skilled Ninth Rank High-Grade alchemist. With the two masters joining forces, the two batches of Immortal Pill [a pill containing immense immortal-grade spiritual energy] were successfully completed in a mere few centuries.

From both furnaces emerged eight pills each—an exceptionally high yield that spoke volumes of their combined expertise.

Upon receiving the Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill, the Celestial Maiden immediately entered secluded cultivation to attempt her breakthrough. A mere millennium later, she had cultivated her Immortal Body [a physique tempered by immortal energies to near-perfection] to the Minor Achievement stage. Consuming another breakthrough-grade Immortal Pill, she surged forward in a single, decisive leap, ascending to the realm of the Fourth Heaven Celestial Immortal Realm.

With this ascension to the Fourth Heaven Celestial Immortal Realm, it seemed as if the Innate Heavenly God Foundation [a supreme innate spiritual root from her past life] within the Celestial Maiden had stirred awake once more. Her spiritual energy and foundational essence swelled by a staggering eighty percent, hinting at a profound, qualitative transformation simmering beneath the surface.

"Her power now..."

Observing the Celestial Maiden, Eldrin Chen fell into a contemplative silence.

An intuition settled within him. The depth of her spiritual energy and foundational strength seemed to far surpass that of an Immaculate Celestial Immortal [a Celestial Immortal who has achieved a flawless, pure foundation] who cultivated the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation. Her true, hidden foundational depth and potential was likely on par with an Imperial Scion Level Figure who treads within the Forbidden Domain [a legendary realm of power beyond normal limits].

Seeing this, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion could not help but smile and explain, "Do not be surprised. What is now called a Imperial Scion Level Figure refers precisely to one possessing the bearing of an Innate Heavenly God Being [a being born with the divine nature and potential of a Heavenly God]."

"The Celestial Maiden's Opportunity and Fortune [the karmic luck and destiny that shapes a cultivator's path] in her previous life was extraordinary. Within the Chaos Creation Grand Formation [the primordial formation that shaped the cosmos at the dawn of creation], she forged an Innate Heavenly God Foundation [a foundational spiritual root of Heavenly God quality, granting immense potential]. Although she was forced to reincarnate and cultivate anew due to that incident, her foundational essence and latent power were not diminished."

"Now, as her cultivation realm recovers, her Innate Heavenly God Foundation gradually awakens. The Celestial Maiden who once roamed the Immortal Domain [the realm of the Immortals] will naturally reappear in the mortal world."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight stir in his heart.

He looked towards the Master of the Horizon Pavilion, his gaze involuntarily flickering with a trace of astonishment.

According to the Celestial Maiden's words, the first few dozen Immortal of the initial Purple Seal Realm [the primordial world known as the Purple Seal] had all forged Innate Heavenly God Foundation within the Chaos Grand Formation [the great formation of primordial chaos]. The Master of the Horizon Pavilion was clearly one of them. Experience the full epic at audio-novel . com.

If so, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion's true combat prowess was likely not limited to the level of an ordinary Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal [an Immortal who has ascended to the eighth of the nine celestial heavens].

Seeing his expression, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion understood and explained with a knowing look, "This old man has not yet reached the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm Combat Power [the pinnacle combat strength of the Celestial Immortal realm]. However, I can contend with the combined force of two or three ordinary Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal."

"I see."

Eldrin Chen nodded, having gained a clear understanding of the situation.

After reaching the Seventh Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm, the gap between each successive cultivation realm becomes immense. Furthermore, those capable of cultivating to this level have at least established their foundation upon the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation art] to become Immaculate Celestial Immortal [a Celestial Immortal who has achieved a flawless, supreme-grade foundation]. Therefore, even a Forbidden Imperial Scion [an Imperial Scion of the highest, most restricted potential] would find it exceedingly difficult to challenge and defeat an opponent a full realm above them.

The Master of the Horizon Pavilion possesses an Innate Heavenly God Foundation [a foundational constitution bestowed by a Heavenly God at birth], but his cultivation time has been relatively short, and he lacks a truly ultimate, life-preserving treasure. Consequently, he is also unable to cross realms and contend with a cultivator at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the ninth and final layer of the Celestial Immortal realm].

Of course, it is not an absolute certainty that an Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal [an eighth-layer Celestial Immortal] from a Forbidden Domain [a cultivation domain of the highest, most restricted potential] could never defeat a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm opponent.

According to the words of the Master of the Horizon Pavilion, an Immaculate Celestial Immortal who established their path with the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation is comparable to a top-tier Innate Divine Spirit [a being born as a natural deity]. Similarly, a Forbidden Imperial Scion at the Ten Tribulations Realm [a realm achieved by surviving ten heavenly tribulations] is comparable to an Innate Heavenly God Being [a being born with the innate potential of a Heavenly God].

However, there are distinctions even among Forbidden Imperial Scion—differences between those of the Ten Tribulations, Eleven Tribulations, and the Twelve Tribulations [the pinnacle of tribulation survival]. Likewise, Innate Heavenly God Being are also divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

Peerless prodigies like Exquisite Jiang and Diyang Tai Cang, who have reached the Twelve Tribulations, are comparable to Innate Heavenly God Being of the highest grade. In the future, when they cultivate to the seventh or eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal realm, it is not impossible for them to rebel against and slay a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm opponent.

Consider the Void Sword Master from the Void Grotto-Heaven. With a cultivation base at only the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm, he once engaged in battle with an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a mighty figure from the Ancient Immortal realm] and managed to retreat unscathed, relying on his mastery of the Void Sword Art [a profound sword technique of the void].

At that time, what the Void Sword Master relied upon was not just the Void Sword Art, but more importantly, his Forbidden Foundation [a constitution of the highest, most restricted potential], which was comparable to that of an Innate Heavenly God Being.

Of course, Innate Heavenly God Being and Forbidden Imperial Scion differ. The former pertains to one's innate foundation and latent potential, which continuously awakens and strengthens as cultivation progresses, fully manifesting only upon reaching the Ancient Immortal Realm.

An Innate Heavenly God Foundation is formed Innate [from birth]. Once one breaks through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, their physical body, comprehension of Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the Dao], and their Path Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivated Dao] will all naturally shatter their Limit-Breaker [the inherent limits of their potential] and directly transcend the Heavenly Pass [a critical bottleneck], allowing them to break through and become a Triple Tribulation Ancient Immortal [an Ancient Immortal who has survived three heavenly tribulations]. One could say they receive their ticket to the Great Encompassing Realm [the legendary Da Luo realm] from the very beginning.

Furthermore, the Forbidden Imperial Scion are cultivated through Post-Heaven [a state of cultivation achieved through acquired effort and training] means and must personally shatter the Ninefold Heavenly Pass [a series of nine profound and formidable barriers that must be overcome to advance one's cultivation]. If one fails to break through the Forbidden Heavenly Pass [the most challenging and restrictive of the heavenly barriers], they may even be unable to advance to the Ancient Immortal Realm [the venerable realm of ancient immortals], forever fading into obscurity among the masses.

Returning to the main topic, after sensing the partial recovery of the Celestial Maiden's Innate Heavenly God Foundation [a supreme, heaven-bestowed spiritual root foundation], Eldrin Chen felt his confidence grow by several degrees.

With a faint smile, he spoke, "With the Celestial Maiden's assistance, our chances of success in this battle have increased."

The Celestial Maiden smiled slightly and, after sensing her own spiritual power, said, "With my cultivation successfully advancing this time, I can now refine the treasures left from my past life."

"In this coming battle, I believe I can be of some help."

Horizon Patriarch nodded and stated calmly, "Since that is the case, let us depart." This chapter appears courtesy of www . audio-novel.com.
