Chapter 1787 : Pride of the Golden-Winged Roc

"Golden-Winged Great Roc."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered with a subtle shift.

The Golden-Winged Great Roc, also known as the Great Roc with Golden Wings, is one of the supreme bloodlines of the Demon Race. Its lineage rivals that of the Kunpeng and stands as one of the paramount imperial bloodlines among the Demon Race.

The progenitor of this lineage was one of the Ten Great Demon Sages of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, said to have been born from a ChaosGolden-Winged Great Roc. His cultivation was but a single step away from the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage.

Such a supreme bloodline is inherently proud and arrogant, almost impossible for others to tame.

The fact that the Golden Wing Patriarch, with a cultivation base merely at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm, could tame a Golden-Winged Great Roc of the same realm indicates he must possess extraordinary capabilities.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, respectful nod of greeting to the assembled group.

"It seems this old man has arrived late."

The Golden Wing Patriarch swept his gaze around the room, offering a nod to the Horizon Patriarch and the Violet Radiance Path Master.

As for Eldrin Chen, the Celestial Maiden, and the others, he barely spared them a glance, acknowledging them with nothing more than a haughty tilt of his head. For more chapters, visit audio-novel.com (official site) for the complete novel.

"This man's arrogance is evident on the surface; I wonder if his inner self matches his outward appearance."

Eldrin Chen mused inwardly. He had always judged people by their substance rather than their facade, believing that those who were truly proud at heart seldom wore it so openly. The Golden Wing Patriarch's overtly haughty demeanor might well be a mask for something else.

Of course, as long as the Golden Wing Patriarch did not provoke Eldrin Chen, then it was none of Eldrin Chen's concern, and he could not be bothered to delve deeper.

"It is not late at all; the timing is perfect."

At that moment, the Violet Radiance Path Master said with a faint smile.

He swept his gaze over the assembled group and spoke directly, "Now that everyone is present, let us depart."

"The journey ahead is long. To avoid needlessly depleting our spiritual power [the vital energy cultivated by practitioners], Fellow Daoist Horizon and your companions may travel aboard my Violet Radiance Heavenly Ark [a grand flying vessel enchanted for long-distance travel]."

Naturally, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion and Eldrin Chen's party did not refuse. They boarded the magnificent Violet Radiance Heavenly Ark.

It is worth noting that for this expedition, not only had the Violet Radiance Grotto-Heaven brought forth a Ninth Rank High-Grade Ancient Ship [a vessel of the highest mortal grade, nearing immortal artifact status], but the Golden Wing Patriarch had also arrived in a Ninth Rank High-Grade Great Roc Ancient Ship [an ancient flying ship modeled after the legendary Great Roc].

With two Ninth Rank High-Grade Ancient Ship leading the way, ordinary Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts that dwell within the formless chaos] dared not approach. The group soared through the void towards the Depths of Chaos, their journey proceeding with remarkable smoothness.

Thus, time hurried on, and in the blink of an eye, thirty thousand years passed. They traversed the distant Sea of Chaos [a primordial, formless expanse of chaotic energies], drawing ever closer to the Chaos Lair [a legendary and perilous region within the Sea of Chaos].

It was at this very moment that Eldrin Chen, who had been in secluded cultivation aboard the Violet Radiance Heavenly Ark [a magnificent flying vessel imbued with celestial power], suddenly opened his eyes. An indescribable, supreme aura flashed for an instant within their depths.

Horizon Patriarch, who was cultivating alongside him, sensed the anomaly and could not help but inquire with some surprise.

"What is it?"

"It is nothing. Merely a slight advancement in my cultivation."

Eldrin Chen shook his head immediately. Seeing this, Horizon Patriarch gave him a thoughtful look but said nothing more, returning to his cultivation to consolidate his own gains.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen slowly closed his eyes once more, allowing his divine sense to sink into the sea of his consciousness.

There, within the depths of his mind, an immensely profound Ancient Pearl [a primordial artifact of immense power and mystery] slowly materialized, wreathed in an aura that defied all description.

"The Returning Abyss Pearl."

"You have succeeded."

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a flicker of astonishment surfacing in his gaze.

The Returning Abyss Pearl [a legendary treasure born from the concept of the abyss] bobbed gently, and a calm voice emanated from it: "I am still in the process of gestation, yet I have already ascended to the realm of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos, possessing innate laws and immense power]."

"What resides within this sea of consciousness is but a single seed pearl, a fragment I have differentiated."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded, his eyes now alight with a surge of excitement.

As the master of the Returning Abyss Pearl, he naturally understood its condition. As a Chaos Terminus Treasure [a treasure born at the very boundary or end of primordial chaos], the Returning Abyss Pearl possessed an origin and lineage that were utterly staggering.

Eldrin Chen even suspected that once such a treasure fully took form, it would at the very least be comparable to a Chaos Cauldron [a supreme treasure of chaos, often used for creation or refinement], ranking as a Chaos Supreme Treasure [the highest class of treasures born from chaos], with even a sliver of potential to surpass that tier.

For a treasure of such magnitude to gestate successfully naturally demanded an immeasurably vast span of time.

Yet, even in its embryonic state, such a paramount treasure was of incalculable value. Merely a differentiated seed pearl held profound and peerless mysteries.

The Returning Abyss Seed Pearl [the embryonic or seed form of the Returning Abyss Pearl] currently within Eldrin Chen's mind-sea contained within it a complete Path of Space [a supreme cultivation art governing the laws of spatial manipulation], possessing earth-shattering, heaven-overturning power, its might rivaling that of a Lower Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure [the lowest tier of Innate Spiritual Treasures].

Of course, to activate an Innate Spiritual Treasure, one required at least the cultivation level of an Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived for immense eons and weathered multiple heavenly tribulations], and even then, one must have broken through the Mana Heavenly Pass [a critical bottleneck in cultivation related to the quality and quantity of one's mana] to barely be capable of refining and wielding it.

With his current cultivation level, Eldrin Chen was utterly incapable of activating this Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth].

Relying solely on the Returning Abyss Pearl's autonomous awakening to face enemies would unleash only a minuscule fraction of its power, and it could be invoked only once every million years.

Even so, once awakened, this Returning Abyss Pearl could effortlessly annihilate any Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived multiple heavenly tribulations] below the Four Tribulations realm, serving as Eldrin Chen's ultimate trump card.

Furthermore, the pearl's wondrous ability to traverse the void, which it possessed before, had now greatly increased. Henceforth, it could be activated ten times every million years.

Not only that, with a precise Path Marker [a mystical object that records spatial coordinates], this Returning Abyss Pearl could even transport Eldrin Chen to almost any location within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the vast cosmos comprising three thousand immortal realms].

It could be said that with a Path Marker, Eldrin Chen could henceforth go wherever he wished, except for those Great Encompassing Rank [the supreme realm of cultivation] Forbidden Lands [places sealed by ancient taboos or cosmic laws].

"The Returning Abyss Pearl's advancement has indeed rendered it increasingly profound and marvelous," he murmured.

"And my spiritual power seems to have grown somewhat as well."

Eldrin Chen whispered inwardly, his gaze flickering with a trace of pleasant surprise.

He discovered that, nourished by the pearl's feedback, his spiritual power had accumulated to perfection, saving him roughly two hundred thousand years of cultivation and bringing him to the very threshold of breaking through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm].

It is a pity that within the Chaos [the primordial, formless void from which all things originate], advancing to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm now requires one's Small Universe [an inner world cultivated within a powerful being] to ascend alongside it. One must return to the Vast Azure Immortal Domain to attempt such a breakthrough properly.

Furthermore, the treasures required to assail the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm have not been fully prepared. It can be said this is not an opportune time for advancement; otherwise, he could already be attempting to charge the gates of that higher realm.

"Esteemed colleagues, we are nearing the location of the Chaos Lair [a nest or dwelling formed within the primordial Chaos]."

Just as these thoughts drifted through Eldrin Chen's mind, Violet Radiance Path Master suddenly gathered everyone.

He pointed towards the Depths of Chaos, his expression grave. "Everyone, remember this journey requires utmost caution."

As his words settled, casting a solemn air over the group, the ancient vessel pierced through the Vast and Boundless Chaos and arrived at the site of a Chaos Lair.

Eldrin Chen looked up and gazed ahead. He saw a Chaos Lair shrouded by countless Chaos Stone [rocks formed and tempered within the primordial Chaos].

The entire lair was a blazing crimson, flowing with violently churning magma. Waves of scarlet fire radiated such intense heat that they made the surrounding Chaos itself seethe.

"A Chaos Immortal Flame Nest,"

Master of the Horizon Pavilion murmured the moment he laid eyes on this nest, a flicker of astonishment crossing his features.

The Violet Radiance Path Master nodded, his expression turning quite grave as he said, "Your insight is truly remarkable, Fellow Daoist. This is indeed the Chaos Immortal Flame Nest [a legendary, primordial lair where immortal-grade flames are born and nurtured]."

Upon hearing this, a pensive look surfaced in Eldrin Chen's eyes.

Before venturing into the Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse from which all realms are born], Eldrin Chen had diligently studied the available intelligence. He possessed a foundational understanding of the various types of Chaos Lair [stable, anomalous regions within the primordial Chaos, often rich in resources or danger].

Within the Boundless Chaos [the infinite, untamed expanse of primordial nothingness], there exist countless Chaos Lair. These lairs vary greatly in nature, their attributes and characteristics as diverse as the stars in the sky. Visit audio-novel .c om to enjoy the complete series.
