Chapter 1780 : The Dragon Vein's Awakening

The grade of such divine material is exceedingly high. It can be used to forge a Supreme-Grade Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon, and is also a superior material for crafting the World-Ending Cannon.

After thoroughly investigating several times, Eldrin Chen finally spoke, "The Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron Ore Vein has already condensed into a dragon form and possesses a rich concentration of Innate Energy [the primordial, unadulterated energy present at the birth of the cosmos]."

"If we do not intervene, once it develops sentience, given enough time, this Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron Ore Vein could ultimately transform into a Chaos Saint Spirit [a sentient spirit born from primordial chaos, possessing immense power and an indestructible body]."

"A Chaos Saint Spirit?"

The Celestial Maiden murmured, a flicker of astonishment in her eyes.

A Chaos Saint Spirit is a spirit born from metallic or mineral essence within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation]. It possesses a naturally peerless, indestructible physical form at its level of existence, surpassing even a Chaos Beast King in might. Upon its birth, its power rivals that of an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a mighty figure among ancient immortals] who has transcended at least Seven Tribulations [seven heavenly trials].

From what they knew, over half of the Chaos Fiend [demonic beings native to the primordial chaos] within the Chaos originated from the metamorphosis of Chaos Saint Spirit, a testament to the terrifying nature of such entities.

Considering this, Master of the Horizon Pavilion dared not be negligent. After extensive calculations, he said, "This Nine Chaos Dragons Nest [a legendary spiritual site shaped like a nest of nine chaos dragons] was originally destined to be a Ninth Rank High-Grade [the highest tier within the ninth rank] Nine Chaos Dragons Nest with three spiritual apertures."

"However, the unexpected gestation of this Chaos Saint Spirit consumed the Creation [the fundamental creative force of the universe] within the Nine Chaos Dragons Nest, causing its grade to fall to Ninth Rank Mid-Grade [the middle tier within the ninth rank]."

"If my calculations are correct, this Nine Chaos Dragons Nest now suffers from a severe deficiency of Creation. Its nascent sentience has withered, leaving it like a dead egg bereft of a soul. It should be impossible for it to successfully gestate and be born into the world." Continue your cultivation journey at www . audio-novel.com.

At this very moment, Celestial Maiden also spoke with a tone of deep regret: "What a pity. A Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos, possessing immense power]. Legend says even the weakest Chaos Saint Spirit possesses strength comparable to a Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal Realm [the seventh stage of the Ancient Immortal cultivation realm], born with the invincible power to shatter Cosmos [the fabric of reality]."

"If we could have contracted it as a grotto-heaven guardian beast while it was still gestating, it would have been an aid to us in our future attempts to impact the Ancient Immortal Realm [a high-level immortal cultivation stage], or even to break through to the Great Encompassing [the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm]. It would have granted us a sliver of additional hope, for nothing."

"Indeed, what a shame."

Master of the Horizon Pavilion also sighed with regret, saying, "Within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective realm of three thousand immortal worlds], the Primordial Chaos Energy [the primordial, formless energy from which all things originated] is too thin. Had it gestated beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, it might have been born into the world."

At this moment, both felt a pang of loss. They understood that if this Dragon-Veined Chaos Iron Ore Vein [a rare ore vein imbued with dragon patterns and chaos energy] had successfully gestated into a Chaos Saint Spirit, it would most likely have been a Primordial Chaos Black Dragon [a black dragon born from primordial chaos iron].

That Primordial Chaos Black Dragon, born from Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron [the specific ore that gives form to the Primordial Chaos Black Dragon], would possess a physical body powerful enough to reign supreme and unmatched within the Ancient Immortal Realm. Even a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has attained the Great Encompassing realm] might not find it easy to subdue and slay such a being.

A Chaos Saint Spirit like this even held the potential to be nurtured into a Great Encompassing-level Chaos Fiend [a powerful demonic entity born from chaos]. It was likely a rare treasure even for many Great Encompassing Golden Immortal.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen couldn't help but have his gaze momentarily freeze.

He looked towards the Nine Chaos Dragons Nest [a legendary nesting ground formed by nine chaos dragons] and vaguely perceived that the Chaos Saint Spirit within still retained a faint trace of spiritual vitality. It was simply unable to revive due to the insufficient nourishment provided by the Nine Chaos Dragons Nest.

Sensing the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade energy of violet hue born from primordial chaos] within his own body, he fell into deep contemplation. "Devoid of spirit, it's almost equivalent to a corpse. Could my Primordial Chaos Violet Aura revive it?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, temporarily suppressing the thought.

Since the Chaos Saint Spirit could not emerge, the Celestial Maiden and Horizon Patriarch paid it no further mind.

They continued their advance and, within the two Chaos Pool, discovered four and three strands of Innate Energy [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] respectively.

A total of seven strands of Innate Energy was still somewhat meager for the three of them, yet they were all quite satisfied.

Although this region of Chaos within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains was relatively less perilous, the Primordial Chaos Energy [the undifferentiated energy preceding the formation of the cosmos] was exceedingly sparse; naturally, Innate Energy was also rare. To find seven strands at once was considered a decent haul.

After thoroughly plundering the treasures once more, they all settled within the Within the Chaos Lair to tally their gains from this expedition.

The trio tallied their spoils and found a total of six Upper Grade Innate Treasure [supreme artifacts born from the primordial chaos], two upper-grade Innate Rare Treasure [exceptionally rare materials of innate origin], and a total of twenty strands of Innate Energy.

The remaining treasures were of insufficient grade to warrant their serious attention.

The six Innate Treasure were: the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword, the Myriad Abyss Ancient Cauldron, the Five Veins Divine Spear, the Colorless Immortal Armor, the Capital Heaven Blazing Fire Banners, and the Void-Sundering Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The two Innate Rare Treasure were: one piece of Innate Aqua Jade Marrow [a marrow of jade imbued with innate water essence] and one Innate Path-Union Flower [a mystical herb symbolizing the union of dual cultivation paths].

That Innate Aqua Jade Marrow [a rare spiritual marrow that nourishes the physical body] can nourish the physical form. For a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a powerful cultivator who has ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] of the water attribute attempting a major breakthrough in their Innate Physique [a supreme, heaven-born physical constitution], it can increase the chance of success by approximately one-tenth.

This treasure was in the possession of Divine Abyss Path Master and appears to have been prepared for a breakthrough to the Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal realm.

The Innate Path-Union Flower [a miraculous herb that aids in the fusion of cultivation paths], on the other hand, was a treasure of Five Veins Spear God. This item can assist an Immortal in condensing a Great Perfection Path Fruit [the crystallized essence of one's cultivated Dao], increasing the chance of breaking through to the ninth level of Celestial Immortal by three-tenths. It is also an extremely precious Innate Rare Treasure.

As for the final twenty strands of Innate Energy [the primordial, uncreated energy of the cosmos], seven were obtained from within the Within the Chaos Lair, six came from Divine Abyss Path Master, and the remaining seven were all from the hands of Five Veins Spear God.

Among the other two, Void-Sundering Sword Immortal and Crimson Flame Patriarch—whether they had exhausted their Innate Energy or kept it within their own Path-Field [a cultivator's personal domain or grotto-heaven]—did not bring any Innate Energy out with them.

After examining the items, Celestial Maiden could not help but smile and say, "It is within expectations. Crimson Flame Patriarch broke through to the Late Celestial Immortal Realm less than ten million years ago, and Void-Sundering Sword Immortal achieved his breakthrough a mere three million years prior. It is no surprise they have no Innate Energy on hand." Official source: audio-novel`com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

"However, the fact that Divine Abyss Path Master and Five Veins Spear God possess so much Innate Energy suggests they have been preparing for many years, aiming to assault the next great realm."

Eldrin Chen nodded upon hearing this, then turned to Master of the Horizon Pavilion and inquired, "May I ask, Senior, how shall these rare treasures be distributed?"

Master of the Horizon Pavilion pondered for a moment, first taking the Innate Path-Union Flower and then six strands of Innate Energy. "With the Innate Path-Union Flower, I can attempt to break through to the ninth level of Celestial Immortal. I shall not decline this item," he stated.

Eldrin Chen gave a nod of acknowledgment and spoke up, "I desire that Holy Spirit embryo."

"Oh?"

The two were slightly taken aback. Celestial Maiden could not help but speak, "That Chaos Saint Spirit Embryo is merely an inert object. What use could you possibly have for it?"

Attempting to revive the Chaos Saint Spirit was a matter concerning the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme, primordial energy of creation], so Eldrin Chen naturally dared not speak plainly. He simply stated, "The Chaos Saint Spirit Embryo is composed of Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron [a legendary metal born from the primal chaos]. This material is a supreme-grade Chaos Divine Material [divine-grade ore from the primordial chaos], its quality can be considered exceedingly rare in all the realms."

"Such a large piece of Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron is sufficient to forge several Supreme-Grade Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [the highest grade of immortal weapons forged from unified primordial essence]."

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Pavilion gave a slight nod, but then quickly shook his head.

They did not quite approve of Eldrin Chen's reasoning. Although a Supreme-Grade Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon possessed extraordinary material, its power was only comparable to a Middle-Grade Innate Treasure [a mid-tier treasure born from the innate laws of the world].

Unless Eldrin Chen possessed a sufficient amount of Innate Energy [the fundamental energy that constitutes innate treasures] to elevate it into an Innate Ancient Treasure [an ancient treasure of innate origin], even several Supreme-Grade Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon might not be enough to trade for a single Upper Grade Innate Treasure [a high-tier innate treasure].

However, Innate Energy was far too rare. Even those at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal realm] might not be able to produce enough Innate Energy to elevate a single Innate Ancient Treasure, let alone cultivators like them who were merely Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful beings within the Celestial Immortal realm].

Of course, those Ancient Immortal [immortals who have existed since ancient times] who had transcended Seven Tribulations [seven heavenly tribulations] and could slay Chaos Beast King [monarchs among the beasts of primordial chaos] within the Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] might have amassed vast quantities of Innate Energy. They would perhaps be willing to purchase supreme-grade Primordial Unity Immortal Gold [immortal-grade metal refined from unified primordial essence] to forge Innate Ancient Treasure.

If this supreme-grade Primordial Unity Immortal Gold were sold to such beings, it might fetch a rather high price.

How exceedingly rare is a Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations, possessing immense power and longevity]? Such an existence is far too distant from them, a realm they may never even glimpse, let alone interact with.

After pondering the matter, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion spoke: "Since that is the case, we shall value this Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron [a legendary metal forged in the primordial chaos, said to contain the essence of ancient black dragons] at the worth of a single Upper Grade Innate Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact born from nature, possessing immense and unique power]."
