Chapter 1664 : Innate Heaven Mending Pill

Watching his close friend's path of cultivation stall at the precipice of the great tribulation, Eldrin couldn't help but feel a pang of compassion in his heart.

After much deliberation, Eldrin spoke candidly, "To be forthright, I still possess a few Innate Taiyi Pills, and even have a rare innate treasure that aids in breaking through to the 3 Taiyi Foundations."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately revealed expressions of ecstatic joy.

Elder Zixuan (Cultivator) could not help but rise to his feet, his face flushing with uncontrollable excitement before swiftly settling back into tranquility.

He let out a bitter chuckle and spoke, "The Primordial Taiyi Elixir is an invaluable treasure, I'm afraid this humble 1 could never repay such a debt."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "I know you'll have to agree to 1 condition of mine."

Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged uncertain glances.

That day, even Daoist Tianyuan could no longer remain seated and blurted out, "Please speak, fellow Daoist."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and stated plainly, "After you break through to the Celestial Immortal realm with flawless foundations, repay me with 3 strands of Primordial Qi."

Upon hearing this, a faint glimmer stirred in everyone's eyes.

Generally speaking, a cultivator with dual Taiyi foundations could condense 3 strands of Primordial Qi when breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm. A very small number of individuals with exceptionally powerful foundations might condense 4 strands. After utilizing these 3 or 4 strands of Primordial Qi to reverse their innate Dao principles and forge their Primordial True Bodies, the remaining Qi would only be sufficient to elevate 1 or 2 treasures to the Primordial grade before being completely exhausted.

With the foundation of 3 Taiyi, when breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, 1 could condense at least 9 strands of Primordial Qi. Even after distributing them across the 3 foundational aspects, a full 6 strands would remain.

These 6 strands of innate qi were more than sufficient to advance to a lower-grade Innate Treasure, making them a worthwhile price to repay Eldrin for his assistance.

At this thought, Patriarch Zixuan could not help but declare aloud: "If 1 can cultivate the 3 Primordial Unity Foundations and forge a flawless Celestial Immortal physique comparable to that of an innate deity, then no amount of Primordial Qi would be too costly."

Seeing this, the rest of the group also nodded in agreement, willing to proceed with this transaction with Eldrin.

Seeing this, Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Let us first distribute these spoils of war, then we shall discuss the matter of your breakthrough."

With these words, everyone began taking stock of the spoils from this battle.

In this great battle, the group obtained hundreds of thousands of Dao Origins, over 10 1000 immortal-class ancient vessels, and countless rare treasures.

As for these low-grade immortal treasures, there was naturally little need for elaborate distribution.

Eldrin merely collected 700,000,000 of the Immortal Origin fragments, depositing all remaining treasures into the clan vault. He instructed their values to be clearly marked, allowing cultivators and immortals to exchange them using merit points and Immortal Origin.

There were also quite a few treasures above the rank of Heaven-Opening Artifacts, including dozens of Heaven-Opening Treasures, 7 Great Immortal Weapons, and several dozen priceless rare curios. Eldrin didn’t think much of these immortal treasures and lower-grade Great Immortal Weapons, leaving them to Ethan and the 7 Mysteries Daoist to exchange as they pleased, while he personally selected 6 of the rare curios.

These 5 rare treasures consisted of: 7 Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pills (Spiritual Object), 1 stalk of the Great Immortal Taiyi Fruit, 3 stalks of Taiyi Dragonblood Fruit, 1 piece of 'Great Cold Condensed Jade', 1 Divine Firmade Jade Slip, and the '3 Wonders Ancient Pearl'.

Among these treasures, the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) and the Taiyi Immortal Fruit need no elaboration. As for the Taiyi Dragon Blood Fruit—it stands as a supreme treasure for demonic beings seeking to elevate their bloodline. Should a human consume it, their physical strength would be profoundly enhanced.

The Jade of Extreme Cold contains the Dao Principles of Extreme Cold. Immortals who cultivate ice-attributed Dao Principles can refine this treasure to enhance their own magic power and slightly increase their chances of achieving a dual Great Unity foundation.

The Divine Firmament Jade Tome recorded the legendary Divine Firmament Thunder Arts, detailing 3 profound thunder techniques—Crimson Firmament, Azure Firmament, and Violet Firmament—making it an exceptionally rare ancient scripture.

The Tri-Mystic Ancient Pearls were a set of low-grade Taiyi immortal treasures, and also the life-bound supreme treasure of the Western Abyss Dragon King.

Each contained the power of wind, ice, and thunder—3 distinct forces of the Great Primordial Dao. When united, their combined might rivaled that of a top-tier mid-grade Great Primordial Immortal Artifact. Once activated, they possessed the power to shatter heavens and sunder earth.

"These are all fine treasures."

Eldrin spoke lightly, "These treasures are clearly intended for the Western Abyss Dragon King and various Quasi-Celestial beings to use in their breakthroughs. Though they could all be preserved as foundational assets for a clan."

After collecting the treasures, the group briefly divided the Dao Origins, with each person receiving 1 or 2 Dao Origins.

Among them, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Ethan Chen (Person Name), and the Nether Lord of Ancient Ruins stood closest to the threshold of establishing the Triple Primordial Unity Foundation. Each had expended immense merit to prioritize exchanging for 2 sources of the Great Dao—each capable of forging a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation.

After the treasures had been distributed and the crowd gradually dispersed, Eldrin deliberately retained the Glazed Divine Lord and the Violet Mystic Daoist.

Gazing at the 2 figures before him, his expression turned grave as he declared, "Since ancient times, among those who have opened the Eighth Heavenly Layer, only a rare few have ever achieved the foundation of the 3 Taiyi."

“To take this step, you both still need more preparation.” Hearing this, their expressions shifted ever so slightly.

They knew full well that while the foundation of the Eighth Heaven appeared only 10 percent weaker than the Ninth Heaven, that mere 10 percent often meant a world of difference.

Since ancient times, those who managed to break through the 3 Taiyi Foundations with an Eighth Heaven cultivation had almost invariably encountered significant serendipity, allowing them to compensate for certain deficiencies in their foundational roots.

Their foundations had yet to be fully restored. Even with the aid of the Primordial Taiyi Elixir and the heavy treasures, their chances of cultivating the 3 Taiyi Foundations were no more than 40 percent.

It was precisely for this reason that the 2 had initially prepared themselves to break through with dual Taiyi foundations.

At this thought, the Glazed Divine Lord pondered slightly before asking after a moment, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"There are but 2 methods that can aid you in mending your foundations."

Eldrin spoke with an air of nonchalance, then added with a subtle flicker in his eyes: "The first is an Innate Heaven-Mending Pill, the second is the Dao Origin of a 9-Calamity Half-Step Celestial Immortal."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the 2 shifted subtly.

The Innate Heaven-Mending Pill is a supreme innate treasure pill, requiring the Innate Heaven-Mending Herb as its primary ingredient. It can restore the damaged foundation of a Heavenly Immortal powerhouse, and when used on an Earth Immortal, it holds the power to defy fate and alter destiny itself.

Of course, given the preciousness of the Innate Heaven-Mending Pill, using it on a half-step Celestial Immortal was truly a waste of celestial treasures.

Moreover, the source of the 9 Tribulations Dao required slaying an existence with a foundation of 3 Great Primordial Unity, making its acquisition immensely difficult.

However, these 2 treasures both possess the heaven-defying power to alter destiny, making them exceedingly rare in the world. Even countless cave paradises, cultivated over hundreds of millions of years, may never succeed in nurturing a single 3 Taiyi Foundation cultivator, nor could they necessarily grow a single Innate Heaven-Mending Elixir.

After much deliberation, the 2 couldn't help but turn to Eldrin and say, "The Innate Heaven-Mending Elixir is incomparably precious, and the Origin of 9 Tribulations Dao is something rarely seen even across 10 1000 generations. We don't possess such treasures in our hands either."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, then said calmly, "This Innate Heaven-Mending Elixir is truly precious, and a foundation of 3 Taiyi realms is exceptionally rare. Using it to mend a Half-Step Celestial Immortal foundation is nothing short of squandering a divine treasure."

"Generally speaking, a single Innate Cosmos-Mending Pill is sufficient to allow an existence with dual Heaven-Opening foundations to defy the natural order and reshape a third Heaven-Opening foundation."

"Fortunately, all of you possess the 3 Heavens Foundation Establishment, merely having opened 1 fewer celestial cycle. Since it's not a missing foundational layer, there are other methods to remedy this."
