Chapter 1782 : The Violet Awakening
"Very well." [an expression of agreement or acceptance]
Eldrin Chen gave a nod, his gaze following the two figures as they departed.
After they had left, Eldrin Chen returned to the depths of the Nine Chaos Dragons Nest.
He turned his gaze upon the Chaos Saint Spirit before him. For a long while, he channeled the Great Deduction Polarity Stars Path [a profound divination technique], attempting to deduce whether this Chaos Saint Spirit [a being of supreme potential born from primordial chaos] could truly be revived. Yet, after much calculation, he found the answer remained elusive.
"A Chaos Saint Spirit possesses the potential of a Chaos Fiend [a supreme demonic entity of the primordial chaos]. With my current Mysterious Grade Divination Divine Ability [a high-level divination power], I ultimately cannot ascertain the possibility of its revival," Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself.
After a prolonged silence filled with hesitation, Eldrin Chen finally steeled his resolve.
He took a slow, deep breath and exhaled. A wisp of Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme, foundational energy of creation, tinged with regal violet] flew forth from his lips, descending like a gentle mist into the sea of consciousness [the spiritual mind-space] of the Chaos Saint Spirit.
"*Hummm—*"
As the Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura settled, the Chaos Saint Spirit began to emit a faint, ethereal glow.
Following a profound stillness, a soft violet light slowly kindled to life within the sea of consciousness of the Primordial Chaos Black Dragon [the physical form of the Chaos Saint Spirit]. Within its eyes, an indescribable aura of supreme nobility began to shimmer into existence. Read, share, and discuss at @udio-novel.com.
"This is..."
Eldrin Chen's heart trembled. He had a feeling that this Primordial Chaos Black Dragon Iron had undergone some kind of transformation.
The black dragon patterns within it were now tinged with a strand of violet light, possessing an aura of transcendent, supreme majesty, far more noble than before.
"Roar—"
In a daze, Eldrin Chen heard the sound of a dragon's roar. The newly born True Spirit [the highest form of spiritual essence, often manifesting as a sentient being] looked at Eldrin Chen with a hint of affection.
Eldrin Chen's heart stirred. He reached out and stroked the dragon's head of the Primordial Chaos Black Dragon, a smile unconsciously gracing his lips.
He discovered that this Primordial Chaos Black Dragon was not the original Chaos Saint Spirit [a sacred spirit born from primordial chaos] reviving. Instead, after absorbing the Innate Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme, foundational violet energy of creation], a new Dragon Soul [the spiritual essence and consciousness of a dragon] had gestated and been born from within the physical shell.
This Dragon Soul was born because of Eldrin Chen. Within its spiritual soul was a wisp of Eldrin Chen's own aura, making it innately and profoundly close to him, viewing Eldrin Chen as its reborn father-god.
Gazing at the Primordial Chaos Black Dragon, Eldrin Chen was filled with immense joy. Finally, he spoke: "You are a dragon-type Chaos Saint Spirit. The Dragon Clan often uses 'Ao' as a surname. And since you were born from the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, henceforth, your name shall be Ao Hong."
"Roar—"
Upon receiving his bestowed name from Eldrin Chen, Ao Hong let out a joyous draconic roar.
Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen patted the dragon's head once more and spoke with calm authority, "Though you have gained sentience, you are still in the womb of creation, not yet fully formed."
"Henceforth, you shall remain within this Nine Chaos Dragons Nest, guiding it towards the Depths of Chaos. Along the journey, continuously inhale and exhale Primordial Chaos Energy [the raw, formless energy from which all creation springs] to cultivate, until the moment of your perfect completion when you may emerge into the world."
"Father Deity... when... see again..."
Hearing this, a pang of reluctant longing stirred within Ao Hong's nascent consciousness, and he sent forth a wisp of hazy intent [a vague, indistinct thought or feeling], inquiring when they might meet again.
Eldrin Chen pondered briefly, his fingers moving in a subtle divination before he declared, "Swiftly, within ten million years; slowly, within thirty million years—then shall you be ready to emerge."
"Journey to the Depths of Chaos. Where the Primordial Chaos Energy grows denser, your gestation shall accelerate. When the time of your emergence draws near, I shall surely meet with you once more."
With these final words, Eldrin Chen accompanied the Nine Chaos Dragons Nest as it traveled towards the periphery of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains. For three thousand years he walked beside it, a silent guardian, before finally releasing it to vanish into the boundless Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before the cosmos was ordered].
Only when the Nine Chaos Dragons Nest had faded from sight did Eldrin Chen slowly withdraw his gaze, a surge of quiet excitement stirring within his heart.
After repeated calculations and divinations, he discerned that Ao Hong, having been nurtured by the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme-grade energy of creation born from primordial chaos], had undergone a qualitative transformation in his innate aptitude and latent potential.
According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, when Ao Hong was born, his innate talent and combat prowess should have been sufficient to rival an Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations].
And Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortals are all beings who have broken through the barrier of the Eighth Heaven [the eighth heavenly realm of cultivation]. Such a peerless Ancient Immortal [an immortal from ancient times] is only a single step away from Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the supreme golden immortal realm].
Even among Chaos Saint Spirits [primordial holy spirits born from chaos], the vast majority are born with only the combat strength of a Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations].
For Ao Hong to be born with the power of an Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations] places him among the elite even within the ranks of Chaos Saint Spirits [primordial holy spirits].
Those Chaos Saint Spirits [primordial holy spirits] whose power at birth is comparable to a Nine Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations] are true Chaos Demon Gods [primordial demonic deities born from chaos]. The moment such an entity is born, it attracts a Chaos Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic tribulation from the primordial chaos]. Surviving it allows one to become a supreme existence comparable to a Great Encompassing [a cultivator of the highest encompassing realm].
To give birth to a Chaos Demon God [a primordial demonic deity], one requires at least a Fourth Grade Chaos Lair [a fourth-grade primordial chaos nest] of Great Encompassing Rank [the highest encompassing rank]. The Nine Chaos Dragons Nest [nest of the nine chaos dragons], with only two of its apertures opened, simply could not nurture such a being. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio - novel . com.
"To be born an Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived eight heavenly tribulations]—even within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the three thousand immortal realms]—grants one the qualifications to become a figure of Kalpa Tribulation Protagonist [a destined central figure of a great kalpa tribulation] caliber."
"If he can emerge before the Kalpa Tribulation [the great cosmic cycle of destruction and renewal], he might become a powerful asset to me."
Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his gaze blazing with intense light.
Legends say the Kalpa Tribulation [the great cosmic cycle of destruction and renewal] is a vast and turbulent event that will sweep across the entire Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the three thousand immortal realms]. Unless one is under the protection of a Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [an immortal lord of the highest encompassing realm], no one can stand apart from its tide.
Eldrin Chen knew that to contend within the Kalpa Tribulation [the immense cosmic cycle of destruction and rebirth], to step beyond the confines of the Vast Azure Immortal Domain when the Kalpa Tribulation arrived and set foot upon the grand stage of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, his current strength was woefully insufficient.
Originally, Eldrin Chen had merely intended to use the Hundred Tribulations Rebirth Opportunity [a rare chance for profound transformation amidst tribulation] within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain during this coming Kalpa Tribulation to solidify his foundation, aiming to break through to the Great Encompassing [the Golden Immortal realm] during the next cycle.
Yet now, a far greater ambition stirred within him. For if he had the aid of a Chaos Saint Spirit [a primordial spirit born of chaos, of immense power] nurtured by an Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal, then perhaps there truly existed a sliver of a chance—to seize this very Kalpa Tribulation and achieve a breakthrough into the Great Encompassing Realm in one fell swoop.
No matter how powerful a Celestial Immortal Great Power might be, they ultimately could not transcend the Tribulation [the cosmic cycles of calamity]. Only by shattering the Destiny Heavenly Pass [the heavenly gate that binds one's fate] and attaining the realm of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal could one rise above the constraints of Destiny [predetermined fate] and the Tribulation.
"Child, having absorbed the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme primordial energy of creation], my hopes for you are great. I pray you can be born into this world before the Kalpa Tribulation arrives."
Eldrin Chen whispered these final words in his heart before finally turning back towards the Frigid Immortal Domain.
He understood clearly that while a Chaos Saint Spirit was formidable, it was, in the end, not strength born of oneself.
The most pressing task for him now was to cultivate diligently and swiftly, to advance to the Late Celestial Immortal Realm and even the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm as soon as possible.
Only if he could cultivate to the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm before the Kalpa Tribulation would he truly possess a possibility to glimpse the threshold of the Great Encompassing Realm.
If he remained merely at the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm, then no matter how much Opportunity and Fortune [chance and good luck] he might garner during the Kalpa Tribulation, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Great Encompassing Realm within the brief span of a mere million years.
Once his resolve was firm, Eldrin Chen hurried back to the Frigid Immortal Domain and entered the Horizon Grotto-Heaven.
At this moment, the Horizon Patriarch was still secluded, attempting his breakthrough into the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation path], while the Celestial Maiden was also in retreat consolidating her cultivation base. Seizing this opportunity, Eldrin Chen began refining Immortal Pill [elixirs of immense power that can significantly aid an immortal's cultivation].
This time, Eldrin Chen possessed a total of eleven Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from the chaos of creation].
Apart from one Upper Grade Chaos Ancient Beast, there were three Middle Grade Chaos Ancient Beast and seven Lower Grade Chaos Ancient Beast.
Eldrin Chen started with the simpler ones, refining one cauldron of pills every three centuries. Over the course of more than two thousand years, he completed seven batches of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill [an Immortal Pill refined through seven cycles of transformation], yielding a total of fifty-four pills.
He then proceeded to refine Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill [an even more potent Immortal Pill refined through eight cycles]. Spending another two thousand years, he successfully completed three cauldrons, obtaining a total of fifteen Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill.
The final cauldron of Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [the most potent grade of Immortal Pill, refined through nine cycles] presented an immense challenge. Eldrin Chen toiled for over six thousand years before finally refining the Chaos Dragon-Wolf Chieftain, ultimately obtaining two precious Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.
