Chapter 1791 : Flight from the Primordial Chaos

Unaware of the news that the Golden-Winged Great Roc [a legendary avian demon beast of immense power and speed] had arrived a step too late, the trio of Eldrin Chen, Exquisite Jiang, and Thalion Chen pressed on.

Daring not to linger within that expanse of Chaos [the primordial, formless void from which all creation emerged], they traversed the Boundless Chaos [the infinite, untamed expanse of primordial void] and its turbulent Space-Time [the fabric of reality, often warped by immense energies], swiftly arriving at the borders of the Frigid Immortal Domain [an immortal realm known for its icy and austere environment].

Upon their arrival at the Frigid Immortal Domain, they discovered that the Violet Radiance Grotto-Heaven [a blessed, secluded paradise-realm] had already returned ahead of them and had informed the others of the anomalies within that region of Chaos.

Not long after their return to the Frigid Immortal Domain, word spread that a coalition of five Ancient Immortal Great Power [cultivators who have transcended mortality and weathered multiple heavenly tribulations] had already departed the domain. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they had likely gone to investigate the secrets of that Chaos region.

"It seems the greatest Opportunity and Fortune [a destined chance for immense advancement or gain] within that Supreme Grade Chaos Lair [a nest or dwelling of supreme rank within the primordial Chaos] is now beyond our reach,"

Horizon Patriarch [the venerable patriarch of the Horizon Pavilion] sighed upon hearing this news.

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. A force of five Ancient Immortal Great Power, including one Four Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an Ancient Immortal who has survived four heavenly tribulations], possessed strength sufficient to assault a Supreme Grade Chaos Lair.

The Chaos surrounding the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad realms of the immortals] was suppressed by a powerful field, making the ambient Primordial Chaos Energy [the raw, creative energy of the primordial void] exceptionally thin. This scarcity prevented the birth of overly powerful Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts native to the Chaos].

By convention, even a Supreme Grade Chaos Lair would typically house Chaos Ancient Beast comparable in power to an Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has transcended the first major heavenly tribulation] of the first three tribulations. Beasts surpassing the third tribulation were exceedingly rare.

With a coalition of five Ancient Immortal now joining forces, there was a significant chance they could successfully conquer it. The complete novel can be found at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said, "There is no need for discouragement. Such Opportunity and Fortune [a confluence of chance and destiny] were never meant for us to grasp."

"Our most pressing task now is to swiftly enhance our own strength."

"Indeed."

Horizon Patriarch nodded in agreement, stating, "If I could step into the realm of an Ancient Immortal [a cultivator who has transcended countless tribulations], with the combat power of a Triple Tribulation Ancient Immortal, perhaps I could claim a share of the spoils."

"But since our strength is insufficient, it is best to abandon such thoughts early."

Speaking to this point, Horizon Patriarch smiled and said, "Our gains from this journey are substantial. Let us divide the spoils."

As he spoke, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion retrieved one precious treasure after another.

Eldrin Chen and the Celestial Maiden exchanged a glance, a faint smile appearing on their faces.

Their harvest this time was immense, containing not a few precious Innate Rare Treasure [treasures born of primordial chaos] and Chaos Ancient Beast Flesh and Inner Pill [the flesh and core of ancient beasts from the primordial chaos].

Among these treasures, the most valuable were the 'Immortal Spirit Fire Tree' [a divine tree imbued with immortal flame essence], the 'Blazing Chaos Spirit Inner Pill' [the core of a spirit born from primordial chaos and flame], 'seventeen strands of Innate Energy' [primordial energy from the dawn of creation], and the flesh and Inner Pill of the 'Flaming Horned Chaos Ox' [a powerful ox demon born from chaos and fire].

Furthermore, there were over a dozen Innate Rare Treasure [objects of immense rarity born from the primordial chaos], each one offering profound benefits to cultivation.

Everyone present felt their hearts stir with intense desire for these treasures.

As the most powerful figure present, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion did not hesitate. His gaze settled upon the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree [an ancient tree whose wood burns with an immortal-grade spiritual flame] and the Blazing Chaos Spirit Inner Pill [the condensed core of a primordial spirit-being, containing its essence and power]. "The Immortal Spirit Fire Tree could serve as a supreme Sect-Suppressing Supreme Treasure [an artifact of such power it can secure a sect's legacy for millennia]," he declared. "And the Blazing Chaos Spirit Inner Pill would be of immense aid to my own cultivation."

"I am unwilling to let these two treasures slip away. In exchange, I will leave the Innate Energy [the pure, unformed energy of primordial creation] for the rest of you. What say you?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Maiden and Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance, then smiled. "The Innate Energy is precisely what we seek most ardently," they replied. "Even had you not spoken, Senior, we would have known the choice to make."

The Master of the Horizon Pavilion smiled at their response and promptly claimed the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree and the Blazing Chaos Spirit Inner Pill.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, even without the flesh and blood essence, the Blazing Chaos Spirit Inner Pill alone would be sufficient to catalyze a profound metamorphosis in the Master of the Horizon Pavilion's physical body, boosting his combat prowess by another ten to twenty percent.

As for the Immortal Spirit Fire Tree, being a High-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a plant of the highest order born from the chaos], its value was likely equivalent to more than half of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure forged in the dawn of creation], or to ten Upper Grade Innate Treasure [powerful artifacts born from the primal chaos].

If traded, whether for a top-tier Immortal Treasure [an artifact wielded by true immortals] or for rare Innate [pertaining to the primordial, unformed state of existence] materials to aid his cultivation, it would undoubtedly allow the Master of the Horizon Pavilion's strength to undergo another qualitative leap.

By that time, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion's power would have ascended to yet another level. With such augmented strength, should he venture into the Chaos [the formless, primordial void beyond ordered reality] again in the future, he could afford to be more daring and aggressive, potentially leading them to discover even greater quantities of Innate Energy.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen was quite supportive of this in his heart.

Seeing that Master of the Horizon Pavilion had exchanged for the two most precious treasures, Eldrin Chen discussed with the Celestial Maiden and allocated the remaining spoils.

Of the seventeen strands of Innate Energy, Eldrin Chen took twelve, while the Celestial Maiden took the remaining five.

As for the other treasures, the Celestial Maiden's battle merits were insufficient due to her lesser strength and contribution, so they all went to Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen took stock and found a total of twelve Innate Rare Treasure, all suitable for early to mid-stage Innate cultivators, perfectly fitting to serve as foundational assets for the various Celestial Immortal of the Chen Immortal Clan.

Furthermore, the remains of several Chaos Ancient Beast, along with the flesh, blood, and Inner Pill of the Flaming Horned Chaos Ox, also fell to Eldrin Chen. Immerse yourself in the complete world at site: audio-novel.com.

After all, in this battle, Eldrin Chen had slain the Flaming Horned Chaos Ox, participated in besieging the Chaos Immortal Spirit, single-handedly held off the Golden Wing Patriarch, and used the Chaos Mist to lead their escape from the encirclement, being the first to plunder the Chaos Immortal Flame Nest.

One could say that if the Merits of the three were divided into ten shares, with Master of the Horizon Pavilion claiming five, then Eldrin Chen deserved roughly four.

Having received such a bountiful share of treasures, Eldrin Chen was thoroughly satisfied.

He glanced at the Master of the Horizon Pavilion and inquired, "Might Senior have the time to refine a cauldron of Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill for me?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Pavilion could not help but smile. "Then I shall lend you my aid."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen revealed a faint smile. His cultivation base was still somewhat lacking; although he could refine Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, his success rate was not yet high.

Thus, he had sought out Master of the Horizon Pavilion, wishing to request his assistance in jointly refining the Flaming Horned Chaos Ox into Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

Having obtained Master of the Horizon Pavilion's agreement, the two did not delay. They immediately began refining the Flaming Horned Chaos Ox into Immortal Pill [a supreme elixir that can greatly enhance an immortal's cultivation].

Both Eldrin Chen and Master of the Horizon Pavilion were Ninth Rank High-Grade alchemists. Between them, Eldrin Chen possessed superior insight and skill in alchemy, yet was hampered by the deficiency of his cultivation base.

Master of the Horizon Pavilion was a seasoned Ninth Rank High-Grade alchemist, but lacked Eldrin Chen's transcendent insight that surpassed the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal realm. His alchemical skill was merely competent, relying entirely on his profound cultivation and vast spiritual power to boost his success rate.

Now, with the two joining forces in the refinement process, their strengths complemented each other, yielding unexpectedly remarkable results in crafting this Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

After a mere five thousand years, they successfully completed this batch of Immortal Pill, producing a full five pills.

"Five pills from a single batch!"

Gazing upon the refined Immortal Pill [a supreme elixir capable of granting immortality or immense power], even the Master of the Horizon Pavilion felt a tremor of awe, unable to suppress a look of profound shock directed at Eldrin Chen.

He had cultivated for millions upon millions of years, forged by Opportunity and Fortune into the form of an Innate Heavenly God Being [a being born with the potential of a celestial deity], and considered himself a peerless prodigy, standing among the very pinnacle of figures within the Immortal Domain.

Yet, during the entire alchemical process just concluded, he had scarcely been able to interject, merely following Eldrin Chen's instructions step by step, reduced to little more than a tool channeling spiritual power.

It was akin to a novice disciple first learning the art of pill refinement, or a young child tracing characters under a tutor's guidance.

This realization left him utterly astounded, feeling it was almost inconceivable, his heart roiling with disbelief.

"This man's talent and comprehension are as lofty as the Nine Heavens and as luminous as the Bright Moon; I fear they surpass even those of an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a mighty figure from the ancient era of immortals] in their brilliance,"

the Master of the Horizon Pavilion murmured inwardly at this moment, a wave of existential doubt washing over him.

After all, he was a supreme power at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm, one who could sit and discourse on the Dao even in the presence of an Ancient Immortal Patriarch. Yet before Eldrin Chen, he had felt like a mere child?

Did this not imply that the genius of an Ancient Immortal Patriarch was also far inferior to that of Eldrin Chen?

With this thought, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion rose and offered a respectful bow. "Today, I have been profoundly instructed. My alchemical arts have greatly advanced. I offer my deepest gratitude."

"Senior, why must you go to such lengths?"

Eldrin Chen promptly rose to support him, replying with a smile, "Had it not been for your intervention, with my own spiritual power, this batch of elixirs would have yielded at most three pills."

"By that reasoning, it is I who owe you a debt of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Master of the Horizon Pavilion assumed a solemn expression and declared, "On the Immortal Path [the path of cultivation leading to immortality], the one who attains enlightenment is the teacher. The guidance you have imparted to me today is worth far more than three mere pills."

Seeing his resolve, Eldrin Chen chose not to press the matter further.

Indeed, Horizon Patriarch's alchemical skill had undergone a significant advancement. Henceforth, his success rate for refining Ninth Rank High-Grade elixirs would likely stabilize around four pills per batch. For Ninth Rank middle and lower-grade elixirs, the yield could increase by one-third.

It was worth remembering that previously, Horizon Patriarch's skill was such that refining a batch of Ninth Rank High-Grade elixirs would yield only one or two pills, often resulting in a net loss. This improvement was therefore substantial.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen offered a gentle smile and said, "In the art of alchemy, whether dealing with the medicinal properties of lower-grade pills or the Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of the cultivation world] and Great Path [the supreme, overarching Dao] within higher-grade ones, the foundation always rests upon the principle of sovereign, minister, assistant, and envoy [a traditional Chinese medical/alchemical concept describing the hierarchical roles of ingredients]."

"Once you fully comprehend the Innate Path Principle [the inherent natural laws and truths] within the medicinal ingredients and grasp their profound mysteries, your success rate will naturally see a great leap forward."

Horizon Patriarch nodded in understanding upon hearing this, though a trace of a wry smile touched his lips.

To comprehend the Path Principle [the fundamental laws governing a specific domain of cultivation] within medicinal herbs was no simple feat. Lacking the profound enlightenment of Eldrin Chen, who could perceive the Great Path [the supreme, all-encompassing Dao] as clearly as lines upon his own palm, he could only mimic the established method. He diligently followed the technique pioneered by Eldrin Chen to maximize the pill formation success rate.

Returning to the main point, having successfully refined five Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [a supreme-grade elixir refined through nine cycles of transformation], Eldrin Chen was thoroughly satisfied.

Next, the two joined forces once more to refine the Chaos Immortal Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos] Inner Pill [the condensed core of a spiritual being's power]. They succeeded in forging a single Immortal Pill [a pill of immortal grade] of astonishing potency, its efficacy approaching that of a Ninth Rank Supreme Grade [the pinnacle of the ninth cultivation rank] elixir. It could rightfully be termed a quasi-Innate Ancient Pill [a pill possessing qualities of a primordial, naturally-formed elixir].

With this task complete, Eldrin Chen intended to refine the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill to enhance his Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique [a supreme innate constitution of primordial unity and indestructibility]. Horizon Patriarch then departed to prepare for refining the Ninth Rank Supreme Grade Immortal Pill.

After Horizon Patriarch's departure, Eldrin Chen decisively consumed and refined one Immortal Pill, prompting an immediate partial augmentation of his Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique.

He proceeded to ingest three Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill in succession. Following a surge of thirty percent in his physical might, Eldrin Chen finally ceased, halting further refinement of the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

His decision to stop was not born of reluctance to part with the precious pills. The true reason was that further refinement would disrupt the delicate equilibrium between his Path Principles [comprehended fundamental laws], Path Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivated path], and physical body.

Eldrin Chen's current combat prowess, rivaling an Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal [an immortal of the eighth heavenly layer], stemmed not solely from his formidable physique. More crucially, it arose from the qualitative transformation born from the perfect fusion and unity of his body, Path Fruit, and Path Principles, further amplified by the power of his various Immortal Treasure [treasures of immortal grade] and Divine Ability [heaven-defying supernatural abilities].

Should his physical form grow powerful enough to surpass the combined strength of his Path Fruit and spiritual energy, these three foundational forces would fall into severe imbalance. The sublime fusion that granted him his transcendent power would ultimately unravel.

With the three forces no longer unified, relying solely on the raw power of the Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique would, at best, place him at the peak level of a Seventh Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm [seventh-layer celestial immortal]. Such an outcome would, paradoxically, result in a significant decrease in Eldrin Chen's overall combat strength.

After all, without the qualitative transformation of the three-in-one fusion, Eldrin Chen's magic power would plummet to the level of the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm. Whether channeling Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] or wielding an Immortal Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact], their potency would be drastically diminished, no longer allowing him to contend head-on with those in the Late Celestial Immortal Realm.

"Having consumed five Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill [a legendary pill refined nine times] in succession, I have reached the absolute limit for maintaining equilibrium."

"Now, both my Path Principle [the fundamental law of my cultivation path] and Path Fruit [the fruit of one's cultivation representing attainment] have reached a bottleneck. It seems I must break through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm swiftly to continue taking the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, finally storing away the remaining two Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill.

After putting away the last two pills, Eldrin Chen emerged from his Seclusion Chamber [a chamber for isolated cultivation] to find that Horizon Patriarch and the Celestial Maiden [a title for a high-ranking female immortal] had also concluded their own seclusion.

This seclusion was not a major breakthrough for Horizon Patriarch, but after consuming the Inner Pill [the core energy source] of a Chaos Immortal Spirit [a primordial spirit born from chaos], the strength of his Innate True Body [a supreme natural physique] had increased by forty to fifty percent. His overall combat power had risen by nearly twenty percent, marking a significant gain in strength.

Yet, despite this, when Horizon Patriarch saw Eldrin Chen, instead of joy, his expression turned grave and complex. "You've emerged just in time. This news just arrived," he said.

As he spoke, Horizon Patriarch handed a sealed letter to Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen took it and read its contents. Instantly, his face stiffened, shock washing over his features. He couldn't help but exclaim.

"How is this possible?"

It was not that Eldrin Chen was being overly cautious; the news recorded within that letter was simply too shocking.

The message in the letter was brief, merely a single line stating that Taixun Patriarch and four other Ancient Immortal Great Powers had joined forces to explore a Supreme Grade Chaos Lair [a supremely dangerous nest of primordial chaos creatures]. In the ensuing battle, three perished and two were grievously wounded. Even Taixun Patriarch, a Four Tribulations Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived four heavenly tribulations], returned with severe injuries.

This news was utterly staggering. An Ancient Immortal Great Power [a supreme cultivator who has weathered heavenly tribulations] is an existence that has endured Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of destruction and rebirth] and remained unperished. Such figures command awe across an Immortal Domain [a vast realm of immortals] for at least hundreds of millions of years and are considered exceedingly difficult to slay.

Furthermore, within the Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse between realms] of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad immortal realms], ordinary cultivators at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm would find their power suppressed by sixty to seventy percent. Those at the Late Celestial Immortal Realm would face suppression of around fifty percent.

However, Ancient Immortal Great Powers, having broken through the barrier of the Ten-Layered Heaven [a legendary cultivation milestone], do not suffer such severe suppression from the Primordial Chaos Energy [the raw, untamed energy of creation].

Generally speaking, an Ancient Immortal Great Power would only have their combat prowess suppressed by twenty to thirty percent, meaning they could still unleash seventy percent, or even over eighty percent, of their peak strength.

For such formidable Ancient Immortal Great Power beings, a full five of them joining forces—if they failed to conquer a Chaos Lair [a nest of chaos creatures], that could be understood. But how could they inexplicably perish within a mere Supreme Grade Chaos Lair?

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen could not help but ask, "What exactly happened?"

Hearing this, the Celestial Maiden [a title for a high-ranking female immortal] wore an expression of utmost gravity. After a long pause, she said, "During your seclusion, this matter has already spread like wildfire throughout the Frigid Immortal Domain."

"According to the two surviving Ancient Immortal Great Powers, that region of Chaos was not a Ninth Rank Supreme Grade Chaos Lair. It was the ruins of a shattered Immortal Domain."

"A shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws, a higher plane of existence]?"

Eldrin Chen was slightly startled, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.

Horizon Patriarch nodded and continued, "Legend has it that it is a shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws, a higher plane of existence] that drifted in from beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]. Its origins are already lost to time, but it is believed to be the legacy of a senior who attained the Great Encompassing [the Golden Immortal realm, a supreme state of cultivation] within the Depths of Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse beyond ordered realms]."

"Within it are Seventh Heavenly Domains [seven distinct heavenly regions or continents]. Because it drifts within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation] and possesses the wondrous properties of a Heavenly Path Source Artifact [a supreme artifact that embodies the source of a heavenly path or law], it has attracted a vast number of Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from and dwelling in the Chaos] to nest there."

"It is said that within this shattered Heavenly Domain [a celestial region, often part of an Immortal Domain], there are at least several thousand Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from and dwelling in the Chaos]. It is suspected to contain seven Ninth Rank [the highest grade, denoting supreme power] Supreme Grade Chaos Lair [the dens or nests of the most powerful Chaos beasts]. More than a dozen Chaos Beast King [rulers among Chaos beasts, possessing immense power] comparable to Ancient Immortal [immortals who have survived for eons, possessing profound cultivation] have already been discovered."

"During that battle, five Ancient Immortal [immortals who have survived for eons, possessing profound cultivation] were besieged by eight or nine Chaos Beast King [rulers among Chaos beasts, possessing immense power]. An immensely powerful Chaos Beast King [rulers among Chaos beasts, possessing immense power] comparable to a Fifth Rank [Fifth Tribulation] Ancient Immortal [immortals who have survived for eons, possessing profound cultivation] even joined the fray. As a result, three of the Ancient Immortal [immortals who have survived for eons, possessing profound cultivation] did not even have a chance to escape."

"A shattered Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws, a higher plane of existence] from beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]?"

Eldrin Chen was inwardly shocked and could not help but ask, "Are there other Immortal Domain [realms governed by immortal laws, higher planes of existence] beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]?"

Horizon Patriarch nodded and said calmly, "Although the world within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation] is stable, it is suppressed by the Primordial Immortal Domain [the original, foundational Immortal Domain from which others may have descended], resulting in thin Primordial Chaos Energy [the fundamental, formless energy that predates creation]. This is not conducive to promoting a Universe [a complete world or cosmos] to ascend into an Immortal Domain [a realm governed by immortal laws, a higher plane of existence], nor is it beneficial for the cultivation of Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [Golden Immortals, cultivators who have attained the Great Encompassing realm]."

"Therefore, almost all inhabited Immortal Domain [realms governed by immortal laws, higher planes of existence] are located in the deep Sea of Chaos [the boundless ocean of primordial Chaos energy] beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the known realms of cultivation]. There, the Primordial Chaos Energy [the fundamental, formless energy that predates creation] is infinite—a liquid Sea of Chaos [the boundless ocean of primordial Chaos energy]. One could say treasures litter the ground; it is a land of boundless Opportunity and Fortune [chance encounters and great luck]."

"In this current age, within the Three Great Heavenly Courts, the various Great Encompassing Ancient Sect and Hundred Spirit Immortal Clan, the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal and even the Ancient Immortal Great Power who have transcended four tribulations or more, almost all cultivate and wander within the Sea of Chaos [the primordial, formless expanse beyond the ordered realms]."

Speaking of this, the Master of the Horizon Pavilion sighed and could not help but say with a bitter smile, "The Sea of Chaos beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains is a place of boundless Opportunity and Fortune, yet it is also the most perilous and terrifying of all."

"There reside Chaos Fiend [primordial beings of immense power born from chaos] comparable to Great Encompassing cultivators, and even Chaos Ancestral Spirit [ancient, unfathomable spirits of the primordial chaos] whose might rivals that of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage. Each is an existence beyond description."

"There, earth-shattering, epoch-defining battles frequently erupt. Any single one of those conflicts, if it occurred within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, would be enough to shake the very annals of history."

"Let alone Celestial Immortal like us, even a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal can fall and perish there. Entire Immortal Domain [realms governed by immortal laws] can be shattered by the fury of Chaos Demon God [supreme demonic entities born from the primordial chaos]."

"This shattered Immortal Domain before us was most likely an Immortal Domain broken by a Chaos Fiend. It drifted along the Chaos Torrent [a powerful current of chaotic energy] and, by chance, washed up within the boundaries of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains."
