Chapter 1673 : Triple Limit Mana

If 1 could open up a universe of 12 celestial layers, then a Flawless Celestial Immortal could cultivate all the way to the mid-stage of Celestial Immortality without ever worrying about a shortage of Primordial Qi.

When the universe ascends, the act of world creation resembles the genesis of heaven and earth during the breakthrough to the Earth Immortal realm. It depends not only on 1’s own mana and cultivation base but also on their combat prowess, divine abilities, and means such as immortal treasures.

Eldrin believed that if Chen Qiyuan and the others possessed 1 or 2 suitable Innate Treasures and rare wonders, they might still have a chance to open additional layers of the heavens.

A cultivator's aptitude and foundation are divided into innate aptitude and acquired aptitude.

Innate endowments such as Lyra’s (Person Name) Lunar Immortal Physique and Seraphina Qu’s (Person Name) 9-Colored Immortal Clam Bloodline often possess limitless potential.

Acquired aptitude, on the other hand, refers to the foundation continuously cultivated through the process of cultivation. Opening the 9 Heavens and consolidating the foundations of the 3 Primordial Pure Ones inherently serves to enhance 1's acquired aptitude.

Chen Qiyuan, Lila (Person Name), Yan Ziqi, and others possessed innate endowments that could not compare to the direct disciples of the Great Luo or the direct descendants of the Primordial Immortal Clans. Only after consolidating the foundation of the 3 Taiyi were they able to bridge the gap between them through acquired aptitude.

To catch up with and even surpass these peerless prodigies, 1 must continuously compensate for these innate limitations.

Eldrin thought to himself that if Yan Zi Ji and the others could open 1 more celestial aperture when breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, they might gain an additional sliver of hope for advancing to the Great Perfection Stage in the future.

After much deliberation, Eldrin strode deep into the Immortal Herb Garden. He drew forth a wisp of Primordial Qi, using it to catalyze the evolution of a Primordial Taiyi Immortal Fruit.

He then began refining the Innate Taiyi Elixir. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect—this time Eldrin (Person Name) processed the Innate Taiyi Immortal Fruit with noticeably greater speed.

In just 8 100 years, Eldrin had successfully refined this batch of immortal pills, yielding a total of 5 pills this time.

This time, a total of 6 individuals were preparing to impact the 3 Taiyi Foundations. Since Qing Ji did not require the aid of this item, the 5 Innate Taiyi Pills would suffice for the time being.

After successfully refining the Innate Taiyi Elixir, Eldrin noticed his companions were still in seclusion, so he continued channeling his remaining energy into alchemy.

In this great battle, the spoils of war were far too numerous, among which was a single stalk of ninth-grade Heaven-Mending Herb. Eldrin fired up his cauldron and refined a batch of 9 ninth-grade Heaven-Mending Elixirs.

Although it was merely a Ninth-Level Heaven-Mending Elixir, its efficacy was extraordinary. Eldrin had it delivered to Daoist Zixuan and Glazed Divine Lord. After consuming it, the 2 swiftly recovered over half of their damaged foundations.

Not long after, Yan Zijie, Lila (Person Name), Kael (Person Name), the Liyan Divine Spirit, and Daoist Tianyuan each refined their Dao Origins, touching the threshold of breaking through to the foundation of the 3 Primordial Unity.

Seeing this, Eldrin distributed 1 Innate Taiyi Pill to each person, allowing them to take turns using the Enlightenment Rushan to break through.

Eldrin then emerged from the microcosm and soared into the 10 1000 Spirits Sea.

In the Myriad Spirit Sea, Eldrin laid eyes upon the Ancient 1 of 10 1000 Spirits. At this moment, the Ancient 1’s spiritual power flowed with flawless harmony, a clear sign that his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of absolute perfection.

Eldrin could not help but feel a surge of reverence, his expression growing solemn.

As an ancient immortal who had lived for 80 million years, the Ancestor of Myriad Spirits possessed cultivation that could truly be called second to none beneath the Celestial Immortals.

His magical power was even more profound than that of many newly ascended Celestial Immortals, as if he had broken through some forbidden realm, allowing him to accumulate it almost limitlessly.

Such a figure, though not adept in lethal techniques, possesses 1 of the most formidable foundations among the 3 Great Primordial Unity cultivators. Even a Celestial Immortal powerhouse would find it exceedingly difficult to defeat them.

At this thought, Eldrin fell into brief contemplation before speaking, “I observe that the Patriarch’s spiritual power has reached perfection. Could it be that you are preparing to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm?”

The Vastspirit Elder shook his head, then spoke with a bitter smile, "For 80 million years I have cultivated in bitter solitude. The reason I have yet to break through is that I sought to cultivate the 3 Limits Magical Power. Now, only a sliver remains to be accomplished."

Threefold Limit of Magical Power?

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, a flicker of confusion crossing his expression.

With a faint smile, the Myriad Spirits Ancestor calmly explained, "The so-called Triple-Limit Magic Power refers to magic power that has broken through its limits 3 times."

To cultivate the 3 Limits Magical Power, 1 must first refine the internal mana to its peak—full and overflowing—then employ a secret art to compress and condense it, transforming it into a more purified form of magical power. Each cycle of compression is considered breaking through 1 limit.

After repeating this process 3 times, 1 could cultivate the 3-Cycle Magical Power. Once this power was fully refined, its purity would far surpass that of peers at the same cultivation stage.

At this point, Ancient Spirit Venerable looked at Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "I observe that your spiritual power has broken through its limits no less than 3 times. It seems you have already become my senior in this path."

Hearing this, Eldrin was inwardly startled, and in that fleeting moment, he largely understood why he possessed the power of 3 limits.

It turned out that Eldrin’s magical power had long ago broken through 3 limits under the tempering of his Lifebound Treasure, and he had advanced a considerable distance along this path.

Eldrin's (Person Name) spiritual power shattered its limits, with the first breakthrough originating from his Natal Immortal Treasure (Magic Treasure).

As an innate treasure, the innate Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void surpassed Eldrin’s cultivation realm. By refining his own power through the resonance of his innate life-bound treasure, his spiritual energy grew exceptionally pure, allowing him to shatter the first limit.

The second limit was broken by the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body. Back then, to cultivate the Chaos Indestructible Body, Eldrin endured triple tempering—the 8 Direction Winds, the Extreme Cold Ice Soul, and the 9 Heavens Divine Thunder. In the process, his magic power also shattered its previous limits.

The third limit came from the Primordial Dao-Inquiring Lotus Throne. This treasure possessed the miraculous ability to nurture and store magical power, and naturally, it could also refine and purify it.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth limits all originated from the Primordial Chaos Wuji Dao Principle.

The Supreme Primordial Chaos Infinite Dao Principle was the ultimate Dao Principle. By tempering his magic power with such a principle, Eldrin’s magic power had long surpassed the pinnacle of purity, allowing him to break through his limits 3 times in 1 breath.

Upon careful calculation, Eldrin's magical power had already broken through its limits 6 times.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin, with his cultivation at the half-step Celestial Immortal realm, could wield a half-step Patriarch-level divine ability, even manifesting a purity of spiritual power surpassing that of an early-stage Celestial Immortal.

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor spoke unhurriedly, then gazed at Eldrin and said, "Legend has it that to break through to the Great Perfection Stage, 1 must shatter their limits at least 9 times to conquer the Magic Power Trial within the Ninefold Heavenly Gates."

"I have a vague sense that you've broken through your limits at least 5 or 6 times. You must be cultivating some supreme arcane art of astonishing origins."

At this point, a faint glimmer of envy surfaced in the eyes of the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor.

Backed by the Ancient Immortal Ancestor, he cultivated a limit-breaking secret art passed down through ancient immortal lineages, yet even with such heritage, he could only shatter 3 layers of constraints within this realm.

He was unaware that Eldrin (Person Name) had never cultivated the transcendent art of condensing and refining spiritual power, merely assuming Eldrin (Person Name) possessed an extraordinary background.

In his view, Eldrin (Person Name) merely possessed dual Taiyi foundations, yet he had cultivated his mana to the fifth—or even sixth—limit. The secret art he practiced to break through these limits must be extraordinarily profound.

"This secret technique must be exceptionally rare even within the Great Luo Ancient Sect."

"Truly enviable."

The Myriad Spirits Ancestor sighed inwardly before inquiring, "Might I ask what matter brings you to seek me out on this occasion?"

At that moment, Eldrin quickly snapped back to attention.

Without another word, he retrieved the Yin-Yang Unity Vessel from his sleeve along with a pale ancient blossom, his expression turning profoundly solemn as he spoke.

"This junior has come to propose a transaction with you, Senior."
