Chapter 1909 : Hunting the Chaos Beasts

Eldrin Chen observed this, then spoke: "According to the rules of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, the territory spanning three hundred thousand Dao-paths [a measure of distance in the Immortal Realms] around an Immortal Domain belongs to the hunting grounds of that domain."

"Now that we have established our Immortal Domain, it is time to form hunting parties to cull the Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born of primal chaos] in the surrounding territories for cultivation resources."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xianchang Chen spoke up: "Father, allow me to lead one such party. I too wish to venture into the Chaos [the primordial, formless void from which all things emerged]."

Eldrin Chen's gaze remained calm. "The Chaos Sea [the boundless ocean of primal chaos] is perilous, especially in this region we inhabit. Those below the strength of a Seven Tribulation Ancient Immortal [an immortal who has survived seven heavenly tribulations] possess little means of self-preservation."

"I intend to convert a batch of Celestial Soldiers and Generals [heavenly troops and commanders, often formed from spiritual energy or loyal souls] and forge a fleet of innate War Vessel [powerful, artifact-grade ships designed for combat and travel through chaotic realms]. Each of you shall then command a fleet to hunt Chaos Ancient Beast in the vicinity of the Abyssal Immortal Domain."

He continued, "The hunt serves two purposes. First, to seek out Chaos Nest [stable pockets or sources of primal chaos energy] and integrate them into our Chaos Celestial Domain [a domain cultivated within primal chaos]."

"Second, to capture more docile Chaos Ancient Beast, akin to the Glazed Treasure Light Fish [a type of chaos beast valued for its radiant scales and gentle nature], suitable for domestication and rearing within the Chaos Celestial Domain."

All present nodded in understanding.

As the saying goes, one lives off the mountain by the mountain, and the sea by the sea. Since they resided within the Chaos Sea, domesticating Chaos Ancient Beast was among the most pragmatic choices.

If the Chaos Celestial Domain continued to expand, it would not only serve as a training ground to temper themselves against future Dao Tribulation [heavenly trials that test a cultivator's comprehension of the Dao and resolve], but also provide the Chen Immortal Clan with vast quantities of cultivation resources.

Contemplating this, Lyra Jiang spoke, "Within the Chaos, the Chaos Ancient Beast are beyond counting. However, as these beasts devour worlds for sustenance, the waters of the Chaos Sea alone can only sustain their most basic survival needs."

"If we do not provide worlds for them to consume, I fear we will be unable to nurture too many Chaos Ancient Beast."

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment. In truth, within the Chaos, cultivators who raise Chaos Ancient Beast on a large scale are actually quite rare.

This is because Chaos Ancient Beast feed on worlds. They roam the Chaos, ceaselessly consuming minor Cosmos and worlds, using them as nourishment for their Ascension [the process of advancing one's cultivation realm].

If one were to pen them in, artificially providing worlds and Cosmos for them to devour, it would not only incur heavy karmic burdens [the metaphysical consequences of one's actions] but also prove exorbitantly costly.

Furthermore, a Chaos Nest [a lair or breeding ground for Chaos Ancient Beasts] draws in and expels the waters of the Chaos Sea, so the number of Chaos Nest that can exist in one location is inherently limited.

Take the Chaos Celestial Domain for example. Though it spans nearly half the size of an Immortal Domain, it can sustain, at most, three thousand Chaos Nest. Should the number exceed three thousand, the nests would begin to interfere with one another, potentially causing their grades [their quality or potency] to deteriorate.

After much deliberation, Eldrin Chen finally declared, "Since Chaos Ancient Beast consume worlds primarily to devour their World Essence [the fundamental life-force of a world], we merely need to find a suitable substitute. Leave this matter to me."

"One of you shall remain to guard the Chaos Celestial Domain. The others, await my signal."

With these words, Eldrin Chen departed from the Abyssal Immortal Domain.

First, he banished the Chaos Celestial Domain to a distance of one thousand Dao-paths away. After confirming that the Chaos Celestial Domain would not interfere with the Abyssal Immortal Domain, he left Qiyuan, the Ancient Ancestor behind to guard it.

Thereafter, he led the more than three thousand Immortals [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] and returned to the Primordial Immortal Domain.

Upon returning to the Primordial Immortal Domain, Eldrin Chen immediately proceeded to the Indestructible Immortal Pool [a legendary pool capable of reforging immortal beings], directing these Immortals to undergo transformation into Celestial Soldiers and Generals [elite immortal warriors serving a higher celestial authority].

Among these three thousand Immortals, the majority were Ascension Immortal Realm [the foundational realm for newly ascended immortals] Immortals from the Chen Immortal Clan and the Abyssal Immortal Alliance. A smaller portion hailed from the Vast Azure Immortal Domain and the Abyssal Immortal Domain.

These Immortals all possessed remarkable talent, having each forged three Ascending Immortal [the foundational pillars of an immortal's power] foundations. Yet, believing they had no hope of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal [a higher tier of immortal power] realm, they had volunteered for the recruitment to become Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Not every Immortal is convinced they can ascend directly to the Great Luo Realm [the pinnacle of immortal cultivation]. Many, understanding the arduous path to true enlightenment, choose the path of the Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Once transformed into Celestial Soldiers and Generals, they would instantly possess combat power rivaling that of a Celestial Immortal or even an Ancient Immortal [an immortal of immense age and power]. It was, in essence, a single step to the heavens.

To nurture these three thousand future Celestial Soldiers and Generals, Eldrin Chen retrieved over ten thousand strands of Innate Primordial Qi [the purest form of primordial energy] and an equal number of Innate Rare Treasures [naturally formed treasures of immense power]. He then sent them all into the depths of the Indestructible Immortal Pool.

This being the first time he was overseeing the transformation of Celestial Soldiers and Generals, Eldrin Chen watched with keen curiosity from the sidelines.

Yet, as he observed, Eldrin Chen gradually comprehended the underlying principles by which the Indestructible Immortal Pool forged the Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Behold, within the Indestructible Immortal Pool [a legendary pool of transformative power] was filled with Indestructible Divinity [a substance of unbreakable divine essence] and Creation Materials [primal substances used in creation]. The moment the Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality] stepped into it, the Indestructible Immortal Pool immediately began to reshape the very foundations of the Immortal's physical body, laws of the Dao, Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], and more.

Once the reshaping was complete, although the Immortal's cultivation foundation remained that of a Triple Ascending Immortal [an immortal who has ascended through three major tribulations] with Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's comprehension of the Dao], it was now as pure and unblemished as a blank sheet of parchment.

Thereafter, Innate Primordial Qi [the primordial energy inherent at the birth of the universe] was fused into the Immortal's body. After three such infusions were completed in succession, the Immortal's latent potential had already become comparable to that of a flawless Celestial Immortal [a higher tier of immortal, born of heaven and earth]. However, at this stage, the Immortal's realm was still insufficient; at most, they could be considered an Innate Divine Spirit [a being born with a divine nature] still in the process of gestation.

After the fusion of the three strands of Innate Primordial Qi, the boundless Dao patterns [mystical inscriptions representing fundamental truths] within the Indestructible Immortal Pool began to seethe and boil. They surged forth, merging with the Immortal's body and intertwining with his three great foundational pillars, gradually giving form to the embryonic outlines of Innate Dao Patterns [natural, inborn inscriptions of the Dao].

"So that's how it is,"

Eldrin Chen murmured in understanding as he watched. The Celestial Soldiers and Generals [elite immortal warriors] transformed by the Indestructible Immortal Pool were, in essence, the forced gestation of an Innate Divine Spirit.

Generally speaking, an Innate Divine Spirit is born from the natural workings of Heaven and Earth's creation. The Indestructible Immortal Pool, however, employed artificial means to forcibly bring one into being.

For a moment, it was difficult to discern which method was superior to the other.

Yet, if one were to consider the Indestructible Immortal Pool as a world in itself, then the cultivation resources it could provide would undoubtedly surpass those of any single heaven and earth.

"*Hmmmm—*"

Just as the thoughts flickered through Eldrin Chen's mind, the Innate Rare Treasure [a primordial treasure born of heaven and earth] he had provided descended one after another into the Indestructible Immortal Pool [a mystical pool that nurtures immortal life].

Eldrin Chen provided each Celestial Soldiers and Generals [elite immortal warriors] with four portions of Innate Rare Treasure, specifically two pieces of Primordial Mithril [an ancient, magical silver], one section of Heavenly Soul Wood [a divine wood that resonates with the soul], and one piece of Chaos Profound Gold [a primordial metal forged in chaos].

The Innate Rare Treasure merged with the gestating Celestial Soldiers. The two pieces of Primordial Mithril transformed into a suit of Silver War Armor [enchanted silver battle plate] and a Silver War Halberd [a silver polearm]. The Heavenly Soul Wood became a command token, while the Chaos Profound Gold fused directly into the very flesh and bone of the Celestial Soldiers.

A millennium passed in this manner. Then, one day, a Celestial Soldier opened its eyes, rose, and prostrated itself before Eldrin Chen, declaring, "I pay my respects to the Immortal Lord [a title for a powerful immortal]. I offer my deepest gratitude for your grace in granting me this rebirth."

"Splendid."

Eldrin Chen nodded, a trace of satisfaction gracing his features....

In that moment, he fully comprehended the formidable nature of these Celestial Soldiers.

Having integrated the Chaos Profound Gold, a Celestial Soldier's primary strength lay in its physical body. It could move through the Chaos Sea [a turbulent realm of primordial disorder] as effortlessly as a fish through water, its combat prowess not inferior to a Chaos Ancient Beast [a primordial monster born of chaos] of equivalent rank.

To compensate for any potential weakness in magical energy, the soldier's innate treasures—the Silver War Armor and its war halberd—were more than sufficient.

Forged from Primordial Mithril, the Silver War Armor could negate ninety percent of the magical damage inflicted by a Celestial Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] of the same tier. Similarly crafted from the mystical silver, the Silver War Halberd possessed the power to cleave through ten thousand techniques with a single strike, specially countering the protective auras and divine abilities of Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality].

It can be said that the Celestial Soldier before him possessed cultivation only comparable to the early stage of a Celestial Immortal [a powerful immortal being], yet its true combat prowess was sufficient to contend with an ordinary Celestial Immortal of the fourth minor realm.

If the battle were to take place within the Chaos [the primordial, formless void before creation], it would not even fear a Celestial Immortal of the sixth minor realm.

Most crucially, within the body of the Celestial Soldier resided a Heavenly Soldier Command Token. This token was the life-bound treasure of the soldier, capable of uniting multiple Celestial Soldiers to Eruption [unleash] a power capable of suppressing and slaying gods and demons.

Therefore, with just ten Celestial Soldiers joining forces, even a Celestial Immortal of the seventh minor realm would be captured without a struggle. If a hundred soldiers were aided by a Celestial General, even an Ancient Immortal Great Powers [an immortal of immense age and power] would likely turn and flee.

And if the number of Celestial Soldiers exceeded ten thousand, they would be sufficient to oppose an Eight Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

Should their ranks swell beyond a million, arrayed in formation, they could even marginally interfere in a battle involving an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm].

"No wonder it has long been said that the Celestial Soldiers and Generals are one of the means by which Grand Luo Golden Immortal contend against the Chaotic Fiendgod [primordial demons born from chaos]," Eldrin Chen murmured, a note of realization in his voice.

Having grasped the formidable power of the Celestial Soldiers and Generals, Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh with a mix of awe and contemplation.

Yet, after a moment's silence, he gave a slight shake of his head, a flicker of heartache crossing his features.

Among the four rare treasures required to nurture a Celestial Soldier, apart from the Heavenly Soul Wood which he could produce self-sufficiently, the other materials—the Primordial Mithril and the Chaos Profound Gold—were exceedingly scarce commodities.

Such rarities possess immense value, costing roughly twice as much as Innate Rare Treasure of the same rank.

There was no other choice. Although other rare treasures could serve as substitutes for transforming Celestial Soldiers and Generals, they were either even more exorbitantly priced and scarce, or the resulting Celestial Soldiers and Generals would be at least twenty to thirty percent weaker in combat prowess.

Therefore, even though Eldrin Chen felt a pang of regret, he still expended a colossal fortune to transform these three thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Once everything was completed, Eldrin Chen calculated that, on average, each Celestial Soldier had cost him approximately ten strands of Innate Primordial Qi [the purest form of foundational cosmic energy], while each Celestial General had consumed one hundred strands.

Adding the fees paid to the Immortal Court [the celestial bureaucracy governing immortals], the total cost for the three thousand celestial soldiers and thirty Celestial General amounted to nearly forty thousand strands of Innate Primordial Qi.

"Money truly flows away like water,"

Eldrin Chen mused with a heartache. After this expenditure, the clan treasury's reserves of readily available Innate Primordial Qi were running low. Any further major expenses would force him to sell off some Great Luo Rare Treasure [treasures of profound mystery from the Great Luo Heaven] or Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Such precious treasures were not something Eldrin Chen could bear to part with lightly. He decisively reined in his extravagant impulses.

After completing the transformation of the Celestial Soldiers and Generals, Eldrin Chen immediately proceeded to the Immortal Medicine Hall [the hall responsible for alchemy and medicinal arts within the Immortal Court] of the Immortal Court and promptly submitted his visiting card.

The Hall Master of the Immortal Medicine Hall was 'Qingyao, the Emperor Lord', a cultivator at the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm. However, he was currently in seclusion. The one who received Eldrin Chen was 'Fuqu, the Immortal Lord', one of the Hall's seven Deputy Hall Masters.

Clad in robes white as snow, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord led Eldrin Chen into the grand hall with a smile before speaking. "What rare immortal treasures or divine medicines might the Immortal Lord [a title for a powerful immortal being] require on this visit?"...

Eldrin Chen offered a slight smile. The Immortal Medicine Hall was one of the most crucial palaces within the Immortal Court [the celestial governing body of immortals], cultivating vast quantities of Innate Divine Herb [herbs born with divine properties] and even housing no small number of Supreme-Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots [the highest grade of spiritual plants originating from the dawn of creation].

As one of its seven vice-hall masters, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord possessed not only unfathomable cultivation, but also profound mastery in nurturing spiritual roots and an encyclopedic knowledge of all manner of Celestial Immortal [a high immortal realm] grade medicines.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen spoke. "My purpose today is to seek your counsel, Fellow Daoist. Are there any immortal medicines or divine seeds suitable for rearing Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from the primal chaos]?"

Fuqu, the Immortal Lord smiled faintly, as if he had anticipated this. "It seems the Fellow Daoist intends to raise Chaos Ancient Beast in great numbers."

"Your insight is truly as sharp as a pearl."

Eldrin Chen clasped his hands and replied with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord personally poured a pot of tea for Eldrin Chen before saying, "It is not that my vision is keen, but rather that you are not the first to inquire about this matter."

"Oh?"

"Since ancient times, many Immortal Lord have sought to breed Chaos Ancient Beast."

Fuqu, the Immortal Lord spoke, then with a flick of his sleeve, produced several rare treasures.

He placed the treasures before Eldrin Chen and said, "The Primordial Origin Fruit [a fruit of primordial origin, one of the supreme ancient medicines], the Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree [a tree that bears fruit containing the essence of myriad realms], and the Chaos Realm Grass [a spiritual grass that thrives in chaotic energies]—each of these rare treasures can nurture a Chaos Ancient Beast [a primordial beast born from the chaos of creation]."

As Fuqu, the Immortal Lord elaborated, a gleam of interest lit within Eldrin Chen's eyes, and he listened intently to the explanation.

With a faint smile, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord continued, "The Primordial Origin Fruit is one of the supreme innate ancient medicines. It can take root and be cultivated within a Chaos Nest [a pocket of stabilized primordial chaos] or a Cosmos [a nascent or established world]. Consuming it provides immense nourishment to a Chaos Ancient Beast, significantly boosting its cultivation, and it can also aid the cultivation of an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality]."

"However, its growing conditions are exceedingly demanding. It requires the expenditure of Innate Primordial Qi [the foundational, uncreated energy of the cosmos] to cultivate. A single low-grade Chaos Nest can only sustain the roots of one fruit, and it takes an entire Kalpa Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of immense duration, often billions of years] for it to mature."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. While the effects of the Primordial Origin Fruit were exceptional—a Chaos Ancient Beast consuming one might advance an entire realm—the cultivation conditions were far too harsh. Using it to feed such beasts would be extravagantly wasteful, and the cost prohibitively high.

Seeing his reaction, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord spoke again. "This Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree is a Supreme-Grade Innate Ancient Tree [a tree of the highest innate grade, born with the cosmos]. It can bear three thousand Myriad Heavens Realm Fruits in a single harvest, each fruit imbued with the essence of world origin."

"Virtually all Chaos Ancient Beast can be fed these Myriad Heavens Realm Fruits. However, the tree itself can only be planted within a Great Luo Grade [the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal] Chaos Nest or an Immortal Domain [the personal realm or domain of an immortal being]."

Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. The Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree offered a lower cost and could be cultivated on a somewhat larger scale.

The sole issue was that the Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree heavily drained the foundational essence of an Immortal Domain. Even within Eldrin Chen's own Abyssal Immortal Domain [his personal immortal realm, the Abyssal Immortal Domain], one could not cultivate too many such trees at once, lest it lead to a critical depletion of the domain's vital essence.

Eldrin Chen calculated with his fingers and realized that if he were to cultivate the Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree, it would only suffice to nurture a small number of Chaos Beast King.

To cultivate his Chaos Indestructible Body, he required vast quantities of Chaos Beast King flesh and blood to refine the Ten Revolutions Immortal Pill. Relying solely on the Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree to rear Chaos Beast King would be utterly insufficient, like trying to extinguish a burning cartload of firewood with a single cup of water.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen gave a slight shake of his head.

Seeing this, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord took out the final stalk of Chaos Realm Grass and said, "This Chaos Realm Grass is a relatively common type of Taiyi Rare Treasures [a category of primordial treasures of immense power] found within the Chaos [the primordial, formless void from which all existence emerged]."

"It resembles a weed. Rooted in the Chaos, it can draw upon the waters of the Chaos Sea [the boundless, churning ocean of primordial energy within the Chaos] to carve out miniature Minor World [small, self-contained pocket dimensions]." …

"However, low-grade Chaos Realm Grass counts as the cheapest of the Taiyi Rare Treasures. Because the World Essence [the fundamental substance that constitutes a world or realm] it contains is too faint and it is notoriously tough and difficult to refine, Chaos Beast King [powerful beasts native to the Chaos] seldom deign to consume it."

"Yet, a rare few among them can undergo Ascension [a qualitative leap in grade or realm] to become mid-grade Chaos Realm Grass. Some Chaos Ancient Beast [ancient, primordial beasts of the Chaos] are willing to devour these. Its greatest advantage is the simplicity of its cultivation; it requires only the waters of the Chaos Sea to be grown in vast quantities."

At this point, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord shook his head slightly. "A pity. The foundation of the Chaos Realm Grass is too weak. The chance of one undergoing Ascension to become a mid-grade Taiyi Rare Treasures is less than one in ten thousand."

"Even those that do Ascension into mid-grade Chaos Realm Grass remain too tough and difficult to refine. Thus, only a handful of Chaos Ancient Beast are willing to consume them."

Upon hearing this, a faint glimmer of light sparked within Eldrin Chen's eyes.

His Heaven-Earth Primordial Qi Vase [a mystical vessel capable of aiding spiritual roots in breaking through bottlenecks] could assist spiritual roots in overcoming their bottlenecks; perhaps cultivating the Chaos Realm Grass [a hardy spiritual grass that thrives within the primordial energies of Chaos] would be the optimal choice.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke without a change in expression, "Fellow Daoist, give me one Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree [a legendary tree bearing fruit that contains the essence of myriad realms], along with a batch of Chaos Realm Grass seeds."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen took out a collection of rare treasures to pay for the Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree and the Chaos Realm Grass seeds.

Seeing this, Fuqu, the Immortal Lord shook his head. He only accepted payment for the Myriad Heavens Realm Fruit Tree, returning the money for the Chaos Realm Grass seeds, saying, "Within the Chaos Sea [the vast, primordial expanse of roiling Chaos], Chaos Realm Grass is practically everywhere underfoot. How could I possibly accept payment for it?"

Eldrin Chen smiled faintly and did not refuse further. Instead, he cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, which Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts native to the Chaos] within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state of existence] are known to favor consuming Chaos Realm Grass?"

"Favor consuming Chaos Realm Grass?" Fuqu, the Immortal Lord was momentarily taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "If I recall, the Chaos Yak [a shaggy, bovine Chaos beast], the Chaos White Ram [a horned, ovine creature of Chaos], the Chaos Azure Fish [an azure-scaled piscine denizen of Chaos], and others like them are among the very weakest species of the Chaos."

A faint light gleamed in Eldrin Chen's eyes. He immediately rose to his feet and bid farewell, "In that case, my thanks."

After taking his leave of Fuqu, the Immortal Lord, Eldrin Chen made a trip to the Scripture Repository Hall [the sect's grand library housing countless cultivation manuals and records]. There, he obtained records concerning Chaos Ancient Beast and Compendium of Spiritual Treasures [a comprehensive illustrated guide to rare spiritual materials and treasures]. Then, leading his three thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals [an elite corps of immortal warriors], he returned to the Abyssal Immortal Domain.

Upon returning to the Immortal Domain, Eldrin Chen's first action was to examine the records on the three types of Chaos Ancient Beast. Very soon, Eldrin Chen understood the origins of these three beasts.

Indeed, just as Fuqu, the Immortal Lord had said, these three types of Chaos Ancient Beast were among the very weakest of their kind.

Among these three clans of Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial creatures born from the raw energies of chaos], the vast majority are low-tier beasts, with few capable of cultivating to the realm of a Chaos Beast King [a monarch-level entity among Chaos Ancient Beasts].

In a typical Chaos Beast herd, a Chaos Beast King can emerge once the group exceeds one hundred individuals. Yet, for these three specific Chaos Beast herds, a population of over ten thousand is required to birth a single Beast King.

These Chaos Ancient Beast possess low combat power and weak Force Extreme [a measure of raw physical might and combat potential], roaming the Chaos [the primordial, formless void] in swarms numbering in the thousands.

Though weak in battle and yet never driven to extinction, these three types of Chaos Ancient Beast naturally possess their own unique traits. Their greatest commonality is their ability to subsist on Chaos Realm Grass [a hardy, spiritually thin grass that grows within the Chaos].

The Chaos Realm Grass possesses a sparse spiritual essence, yet it can take root within the Chaos, naturally tempered by the waters of the Chaos Sea [the vast, turbulent ocean of primordial chaos] into a state of incredible resilience.

For ordinary Chaos Ancient Beast, devouring and refining Chaos Realm Grass is an exceedingly slow process, and the gains are far too meager. Hence, few Chaos Ancient Beast bother to consume it.

These three Chaos Ancient Beast, however, are profoundly unique. They have specifically evolved Heaven-Devouring Stomachs tailored for the Chaos Realm Grass, allowing them to refine it with relative efficiency.

Precisely because of this, they feed on the Chaos Realm Grass—a resource other Chaos Ancient Beast shun—coupled with their rapid growth and prodigious reproductive rates. This makes them arguably the most populous Chaos Ancient Beast clans within the Chaos Sea.

"Vast numbers, swift maturation, formidable reproductive speed, and sustenance drawn from the most abundant and worthless of grasses—the Chaos Realm Grass."

Eldrin Chen murmured these words slowly, a glimmer of satisfaction kindling within the depths of his gaze.

These three types of Chaos Beast herds represent the optimal choice for raising Chaos Ancient Beast, their sole flaw being their exceedingly low cultivation base. For a Grand Luo Golden Immortal [the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal realm, a being of profound power and longevity], they are of almost negligible utility.

For a Grand Luo Golden Immortal seeking to temper their physical body, only Ten Revolutions Immortal Pill [a supreme elixir refined from the essence of a Chaos Beast King, requiring ten cycles of perfect refinement] crafted from a Chaos Beast King [a monarch among Chaos Beasts, possessing immense power and primal essence] would barely qualify as suitable nourishment for their cultivation journey.
