Chapter 1780 : Chaos Saint Spirit
This divine material is of an exceedingly high grade, suitable for forging supreme-grade Taiji Immortal Artifacts (Magic Treasure), and is also a superior component for crafting Annihilation Cannons (Divine Weapon).
Eldrin carefully examined the site once more before finally declaring, "The dragon-patterned divine iron within this vein has already coalesced into a draconic form, possessing profound primordial qi."
"If we do not intervene, once it develops sentience, given time, this Chaos Black Dragon Iron Vein may ultimately transform into a Chaos Saint Spirit."
"Chaos Saint Spirit?"
The Celestial Maiden murmured, a flicker of astonishment gleaming in her eyes.
The Chaos Saint Spirit was forged from primordial metal within the chaos, naturally possessing an indestructible form unrivaled among beings of equal cultivation. Surpassing even the Chaos Beast Kings, it emerged into existence with power comparable to ancient immortals who had weathered over 7 heavenly tribulations.
As far as they knew, over 50% of the Chaos Gods and Demons in the primordial chaos were transformed from Chaos Holy Spirits, demonstrating the terrifying nature of such beings.
At this thought, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion dared not delay. After calculating for a long while, he declared, "This Chaos 9 Dragons' Nest ought to have been a Ninefold Aperture Chaos 9 Dragons' Nest of the ninth rank, superior grade."
However, due to the unexpected gestation of this Chaos Saint Spirit, the providence within the Chaos Dragon's Lair became insufficient, causing it to fall to the Mid Ninth-Tier grade.
"If my calculations are correct, this Chaos 9 Dragon Nest now lacks sufficient creation, and her spiritual essence has been exhausted. Like a dead egg that has lost its soul, it should be impossible for it to hatch into this world."
At that moment, the Celestial Maiden also remarked with deep regret, "What a pity. A Chaos Saint Spirit—it is said even the weakest among them possesses strength comparable to a 7-Calamity Ancient Immortal, born with the invincible power to shatter the cosmos."
"If we can contract it as a Grotto-Heaven Divine Beast while it's still gestating, it would provide us assistance when we later charge toward the Ancient Immortal Realm, and even when breaking through to the Great Perfected Stage—adding a sliver of hope where there was none."
"Yes, what a pity."
The Lord of the Endless Sky Pavilion also felt some regret, sighing as he said, "The Chaos Qi within the 3 1000 Immortal Domains is too sparse. Had she been conceived beyond the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, she might have already been born."
At this moment, both of them felt some regret. They knew full well that if this Chaos Dragon Vein Iron Mine had fully matured into a Chaos Saint Spirit, it would most likely have become a Chaos Black Dragon.
That Primordial Black Dragon was forged from Primordial Black Dragon Iron, its physical power alone made it invincible among the Ancient Immortals. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might not easily subdue and destroy it.
Such a Chaos Saint Spirit, with the potential to be nurtured into a Great Luo Realm Chaos Fiend, would likely be a rare existence even to many Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) couldn't help but momentarily freeze in astonishment.
He gazed into the Chaos 9 Dragons' Nest, faintly discerning that the Chaos Saint within still harbored a sliver of spiritual vitality. Yet, it remained dormant—the Chaos 9 Dragons' Nest lacked sufficient foundation to facilitate its revival.
Sensing the Primordial Purple Qi within him, he fell into deep contemplation. "Devoid of spirit, it's practically a corpse. Could my Primordial Purple Qi possibly revive it?"
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, suppressing the thought for now.
Since the Chaos Saint Spirit could not be born, the Celestial Maiden and the Ancient 1 of the Heavenly Abyss paid it no mind.
They continued onward, discovering 4 strands of primordial qi in 1 Chaos Pool and 3 in the other.
There were a total of 7 strands of Primordial Qi, which was still somewhat insufficient for the 3 of them. Nevertheless, they were already quite content.
Although the chaos in this part of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains posed relatively lesser dangers, the chaotic qi was too sparse, making primordial qi naturally quite rare. Finding 7 strands at once could be considered quite fortunate.
They once again plundered the treasures, then all sat together within the Chaos Nest, taking stock of their gains from this endeavor.
The 3 took stock and discovered a total of 6 superior-grade Primordial Treasures and 2 superior-grade Primordial Marvels, collectively containing over 20 strands of Primordial Qi.
The remaining treasures were all of mediocre grade, failing to draw the attention of the 3.
6 Innate Treasures, namely: the Divine Abyss Ancient Sword (Magic Treasure), the Myriad Abysses Ancient Cauldron (Magic Treasure), the 5 Meridians Divine Spear (Magic Treasure), the Colorless Immortal Armor (Magic Treasure), the Dutian Blazing Fire Banner (Magic Treasure), and the Void-Sundering Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure).
2 innate treasures, 1 being an Innate Aqua Marrow (Natural Treasure), the other an Innate Harmony Blossom (Natural Treasure).
That innate Aqua Jade Marrow could nourish the physical body. When a water-attributed Celestial Immortal sought to break through to the Great Perfection of the Innate Physique, it could increase their chances of success by approximately 10 percent.
This artifact was a treasure in the hands of Daoist Shenyuan, seemingly prepared to break through to the Eighth Heavenly Immortal Realm.
The Primordial Union Dao Flower was a treasure of the 5 Veins Spear God. This artifact could aid immortals in condensing the Great Ascension Dao Fruit, increasing their chances of breaking through the Ninth Heaven Celestial Immortal realm by 30 percent. It was also an exceedingly rare primordial wonder of immeasurable value.
Of the final 20 strands of Primordial Qi, 7 were obtained from the Chaos Nest, 6 originated from the Divine Abyss Daoist, while the remaining 7 all came from the hands of the 5 Veins Spear God.
Among the other 2, whether the Eldrin Sword Immortal and the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Ancestor had exhausted their Primordial Qi or chose to leave it behind in their respective abodes, they did not carry it with them.
After reading it, the Celestial Maiden couldn't help but smile and say, "It's hardly surprising that Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Patriarch broke through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm less than 10 million years ago, and Riftvoid Sword Immortal achieved his breakthrough a mere 3 million years ago. Neither would possess Primordial Qi."
"However, the fact that Daoist Shenyuan and the 5 Veins Spear God possess such vast amounts of Primordial Qi indicates they've been preparing for many years to break through to the next realm."
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this, then turned to the Master of the Celestial Horizon Pavilion and inquired, "May I ask, Senior, how shall these rare treasures be distributed?"
The master of the Endless Sky Pavilion pondered briefly, first taking the Primordial Unity Blossom before accepting the 6 strands of Primordial Qi. "With this Primordial Unity Blossom, I may attempt a breakthrough to the Ninth Heaven of Celestial Immortality. I shall humbly accept this treasure."
Eldrin nodded and could not help but saying, "I desire that Sacred Spirit Embryo."
"Oh?"
The 2 of them froze for a moment, and the Celestial Maiden couldn't help but speak up, "That Saint Embryo is merely an inanimate object. What use could you possibly have for it?"
"Attempting to revive the Chaos Saint Spirit involves the Primordial Purple Qi," Eldrin naturally dared not speak outright. He merely stated, "The Chaos Saint Spirit Embryo is forged from Chaos Black Dragon Iron, a supreme-grade chaos divine material whose quality can be considered exceptionally rare in this world."
"This massive piece of Chaos Black Dragon Iron could forge several supreme-grade Great Empyrean artifacts."
The Lord of the Endless Sky Pavilion gave a slight nod upon hearing this, yet almost immediately shook his head.
They did not quite approve of Eldrin's approach. Although the materials of the supreme-grade Taiyi immortal weapon were extraordinary, its power was only comparable to that of a mid-grade innate treasure.
Unless Eldrin possessed sufficient Primordial Qi to elevate it into an Innate Ancient Treasure, even several supreme-grade Great Immortal Artifacts might not suffice to acquire a single superior-grade Innate Treasure.
However, Primordial Qi was far too rare. Even a Heavenly Immortal at the Great Perfection stage might not possess enough Primordial Qi to elevate a single Ancient Treasure to the Primordial rank, let alone these other Heavenly Immortal experts.
Of course, those ancient immortals who had transcended 7 or more heavenly tribulations, capable of slaying Chaos Beast Kings within the primordial chaos, would have amassed vast quantities of Primordial Qi. They might still be willing to acquire supreme-grade Taiyi Immortal Gold to refine their Primordial Ancient Treasures.
If this supreme-grade Taiyi Immortal Gold were sold to such an entity, it might fetch a rather high price.
Yet, how rare are 7 Tribulations Ancient Immortals? They exist at a distance far beyond their reach, and it is unlikely they would ever come into contact with such beings.
After much deliberation, the master of the Endless Sky Pavilion declared, "Very well. This Chaos Black Dragon Iron shall be valued at 1 top-grade innate treasure for you."
