Chapter 1910 : A Solution in the Primordial Chaos

A horde of Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from the chaos] at the early to mid-stage of Celestial Immortal [the foundational stage of true immortality] cultivation are of almost no use to a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal whose golden essence encompasses all creation].

Yet for this very problem, Eldrin Chen had largely found a solution.

The fundamental reason these three Chaos Beast Horde [a collective of chaos-born beasts] could not ascend to higher realms was that their specialized forms rendered them too weak in combat. They were unable to seize cultivation resources of a higher grade, making further advancement naturally exceedingly difficult.

Merely consuming Chaos Realm Grass [a spiritual herb that grows in the primal chaos], no matter the quantity, could never elevate them to the realm of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal.

After all, Chaos Realm Grass was merely the lowest grade of Primordial Unity Rare Treasure [a treasure born from the union of primordial forces]. Even if a few strands managed to advance to mid-grade or even high-grade, it would be but a drop in the bucket.

"The core issue remains whether we can cultivate a large quantity of high-grade Chaos Realm Grass,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, deciding to act on the thought immediately.

He first journeyed into the Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] and retrieved a seed of Chaos Realm Grass, planting it within the Sea of Chaos [the boundless, churning expanse of primordial chaos].

Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he took out the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth [a mystical vase containing the foundational energies of creation] and irrigated the Chaos Realm Grass with Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with the world's innate spiritual essence]. For this cultivation attempt, Eldrin Chen did not employ Innate Energy [the fundamental energy present at the world's birth]; he relied solely on the Heaven-Earth Creation [the act of bringing form from chaos] power contained within the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth.

Fortunately, Chaos Realm Grass was merely a Primordial Unity Rare Treasure, making its advancement significantly less arduous compared to an Innate Ancient Tree [a tree that has existed since the world's dawn]. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio - novel . com.

As the Innate Spiritual Water [a primordial water of pure spiritual essence] from the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel said to contain the foundational energies of creation] was sprinkled down, the Chaos Realm Grass [a rare plant that grows in the primordial chaos and contains a nascent world within] began to voraciously devour the Sea of Chaos Water [the primordial waters of the formless chaos], growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Chaos Realm Grass had fully matured, reaching the level of a low-grade Primordial Unity Rare Treasure [a treasure born from the union of primordial forces].

"Such faint world power,"

murmured Eldrin Chen, finally understanding why the Chaos Realm Grass could take root alone within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation].

There truly was a world contained within this blade of Chaos Realm Grass, but it was exceedingly minute, at most the size of a single Earth Immortal World [a small, self-contained realm].

Most crucially, the Chaos Realm Grass was incredibly tenacious; its leaves were as sharp as a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [a weapon forged from unified primordial essence]. If a Chaos Ancient Beast [a primordial monster born in the chaos] tried to devour large quantities of it, not only would it be difficult to refine, but the beast would likely injure itself in the process.

Thus, for the vast majority of Chaos Ancient Beast, the Chaos Realm Grass was truly a case of it being tasteless to eat yet a pity to discard.

Only a specialized Chaos Ancient Beast like the Chaos Yak [a bovine-like primordial beast], which had evolved a unique Heaven-Devouring Stomach [a divine ability to crush and refine anything] specifically for processing the Chaos Realm Grass, could continuously grind and refine it, using the grass as sustenance.

"Let us see if this can help it break through its bottleneck."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly and immediately dripped more of the Innate Spiritual Water onto the grass.

After nine consecutive drops, the Chaos Realm Grass finally broke through its bottleneck, advancing to become a mid-grade Primordial Unity Rare Treasure.

"Hmm—"

Suddenly, Eldrin Chen let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

He discovered that after the Chaos Realm Grass advanced, the world within it had expanded more than tenfold. Most crucially, a wisp of Primordial Yellow Mother Energy [the foundational energy of creation and nourishment] had actually been birthed within that world.

"Could it be that as this Chaos Realm Grass advances, it might eventually evolve into an entire Universe?"

Eldrin Chen murmured, speaking with a note of astonishment.

He did not stop. He dripped more Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with the purest, most fundamental spiritual essence], elevating the Chaos Realm Grass to the rank of a high-grade Primordial Unity Rare Treasure.

Only at this point did Eldrin Chen discover that within the high-grade Chaos Realm Grass, several dozen wisps of Primordial Yellow Mother Energy had now been nurtured.

A Chaos Realm Grass that had given birth to Primordial Yellow Mother Energy could already be considered a rare high-grade Primordial Unity Rare Treasure. If the Chaos Yak could consume it over a long period, it might even seize the opportunity to advance, becoming a Ninth Rank Mid-Grade or even a high-grade Chaos Ancient Beast.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen continued the cultivation process. Ultimately, after expending over a hundred portions of Innate Spiritual Water, he successfully nurtured a single stalk of supreme-grade Chaos Realm Grass.

"No, this is not a supreme-grade Chaos Realm Grass [a legendary spiritual herb said to contain a nascent world within its leaves]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a flicker of astonishment suddenly igniting within the depths of his gaze.

He abruptly realized that within this Chaos Realm Grass, one of its Lesser Worlds [small, self-contained pocket dimensions] had violently erupted, evolving into a Small Universe [a nascent, self-sustaining cosmos] spanning millions of light-years.

And within that Small Universe, a wisp of Innate Energy [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] gently descended, ultimately merging and becoming one with the Chaos Realm Grass.

"An Innate Chaos Realm Grass."

Eldrin Chen whispered, his eyes now alight with a surge of joyous wonder. Find this and other novels at www . audio-novel.com.

It turned out that after a Chaos Realm Grass advanced to the supreme-grade, the world within its body could ascend to become a Small Universe, thereby transforming the herb itself into an Innate [primordial, born of the cosmos itself] spiritual plant.

Such an event was, by all accounts, the stuff of legend.

This divine object, a Post-Heaven [born after the formation of the cosmos, as opposed to primordial] entity ascending on its own to Universe-level and metamorphosing into an Innate spiritual herb—this was the first time Eldrin Chen had ever witnessed it.

"Even a humble blade of grass, if it possesses unyielding tenacity, holds the potential to transform into an Innate Heavenly God Object [a primordial treasure of divine origin]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his gaze growing heavy with solemnity.

He observed the Chaos Realm Grass and saw that the Realm Grass possessed nine leaves in total. Each leaf radiated a torrential Sword Intent [a conceptual sharpness and will focused through the sword], seemingly capable of severing the Sun and Moon and the Stellar [the celestial bodies and stars], and extinguishing the Vast and Boundless Chaos.

"The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass,"

Eldrin Chen stated plainly, storing this stalk of Chaos Realm Grass away.

Having advanced, this Nine-Leaf Sword Grass now exuded a sharp, overwhelming aura. It was an extraordinary entity with remarkable latent potential.

Most crucially, Eldrin Chen detected a faint, nascent consciousness within the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass—a sign of awakening sentience.

Considering the difficulty of such an awakening, Eldrin Chen decided to transplant it into the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain, where it could await its eventual transformation into human form and embark upon the path of cultivation.

After dealing with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, Eldrin Chen continued nurturing the Chaos Realm Grass. To his surprise, when the second stalk of Chaos Realm Grass reached its evolutionary limit, its attempt to transform from a Lesser Worlds into an Universe failed, causing it to disintegrate within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation].

"Can a world's transformation into an Universe also end in failure?"

Eldrin Chen pondered inwardly, a slight frown finally creasing his brow.

He continued selecting Chaos Realm Grass to cultivate. After cultivating several thousand plants in succession, he finally reached a conclusion.

When Chaos Realm Grass advances to become Innate Chaos Realm Grass, the success rate is only about one in a thousand. This is because during the process of its internal world transforming into a Universe, if it fails, it will shatter and perish, leaving no other outcome.

"The cost to cultivate a single high-grade Chaos Realm Grass is roughly one hundred million Immortal Source. The chance of failure when advancing to Innate Chaos Realm Grass is far too high, making cultivation utterly unprofitable,"

Eldrin Chen stated calmly. Although he could directly convert Sea of Chaos Water into Immortal Source, it required a significant investment of time. With such a high failure rate, it was impossible to cultivate Innate Chaos Realm Grass indefinitely.

However, Innate Chaos Realm Grass could be used to nurture Chaos Beast King, so abandoning it was not an option.

After much deliberation, Eldrin Chen decided to cultivate only a small quantity of Innate Chaos Realm Grass for the time being. After all, high-grade Chaos Realm Grass was more than sufficient to feed low and mid-grade Chaos Ancient Beast.

In the future, when the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth advanced to mid-grade or even Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he would see if the success rate for advancing Innate Chaos Realm Grass could be increased.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen returned directly to the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain. He handed the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth over to the Old Patriarch for cultivation and dispatched clan members to capture the three types of Chaos Ancient Beast.

Raising Chaos Ancient Beast was crucial to Eldrin Chen's Path of Fleshly Body Sanctification, so the clan's several Eight Tribulations Ancient Immortal naturally did not dare to be negligent. They immediately set out into the Chaos to capture Chaos Ancient Beast.

Thus, time flowed swiftly. After several hundred thousand years, nearly a thousand new Chaos Lair had been established in the northern reaches of the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain.

These nearly one thousand Chaos Lair varied in grade and were scattered across the northern Chaos, occupying a vast territory spanning over one hundred Path and nurturing close to ten thousand Chaos Ancient Beasts.

These nearly ten thousand Chaos Ancient Beasts all belonged to the herds of Chaos White Goats, Chaos Green Fish, and Chaos Yaks.

Eldrin Chen named this region the Northern Chaos Heavenly Domain, positioning it opposite the Southern Chaos Heavenly Domain which served as a training ground.

Thereafter, he used these Chaos Lairs as the core to establish a Formation [a complex array of energy channels and runes used for defense, confinement, or cultivation], planted endless Chaos Realm Grass to corral the three great Chaos Ancient Beast herds, and assigned one thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals along with a clan Seven Tribulations Ancient Immortal to guard the place.

"That should suffice."

After handling all these matters, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, satisfied nod.

With the Chaos Ancient Beast breeding grounds established, the next step was to continue expanding their scale.

Then, they would cull those with poor aptitude, continuously selecting and breeding the Chaos Ancient Beasts with the potential to break through to Chaos Beast King as breeding stock, ultimately cultivating a large number of Chaos Beast Kings.

Of course, without the ability to cultivate Innate Chaos Realm Grass [a primordial spiritual grass that grows in chaotic realms] in large quantities, producing a significant number of Chaos Beast Kings would clearly not be achievable within just one or two Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years].

However, the tasks that followed no longer required Eldrin Chen to personally oversee them.

On this day, after concluding his affairs in the Northern Chaos Heavenly Domain, Eldrin Chen accompanied Exquisite Jiang into the Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared room for deep meditation and cultivation].

Now, having finally settled the myriad trivial matters of the Immortal Domain, Eldrin Chen could at last devote his full attention and energy to assisting Exquisite Jiang with the Foundation Reforging [a profound and perilous process of completely remolding one's cultivation foundation].

"Exquisite, are you prepared?"

Within the silent confines of the Seclusion Chamber, Eldrin Chen gazed at Exquisite Jiang before him, his expression turning solemn as he posed the question.

Exquisite Jiang gave a slight nod, her face a mixture of eager anticipation and grave resolve. "The Foundation Reforging is imperative. There is no path for retreat."

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen affirmed with a nod. He then produced the Nirvana Immortal Marrow [a legendary substance said to grant rebirth to one's foundational essence] and began refining it with his supreme, peerless power.

In that instant, the Nirvana Immortal Marrow transformed, dissolving into a glorious Chaos Immortal Radiance [a primordial, formless light of creation] that illuminated the chamber before merging into Exquisite Jiang's body.

The Nirvana Immortal Marrow proved truly miraculous. Upon merging with Exquisite Jiang's form, it caused her entire cultivation foundation to become increasingly nebulous and ethereal, granting it a far greater potential for reshaping.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen focused his entire spirit, proceeding with utmost caution as he carefully extracted five treasures from within Exquisite Jiang's body: a sword, a cauldron, a disc, a pearl, and the Lotus Throne [a spiritual artifact shaped like a lotus flower platform].

These five treasures were the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword [a legendary sword capable of slaying even immortals], the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Cauldron [a mystical cauldron embodying cosmic harmony and desolation], the Cultivable Earth Kun Origin Disk [a disc containing the primordial essence of the nurturing earth], the External Incarnation [a profound technique for manifesting an external avatar], and the World-Cleansing White Lotus Throne [a throne of pure white lotus petals said to purify the world].

These five treasures were all objects of Exquisite Jiang's life-bound cultivation [treasures cultivated with one's very life force and essence], representing a significant portion of her foundational cultivation base. To have them forcibly extracted now filled Exquisite Jiang's heart with profound reluctance.

Gazing at her five life-bound treasures, Exquisite Jiang asked with lingering attachment, "Is there no way to keep these five treasures…?"

"No."

Eldrin Chen shook his head and spoke firmly, "If you wish to cultivate a True Spirit Treasure [a treasure that has awakened its own primordial spirit and consciousness], these five treasures have become obstacles on your path."

Hearing this, Exquisite Jiang could only sigh in resignation.

Deep down, she understood. To forge a True Spirit Treasure, one must practice the Heavenly Emperor's Artifact Fusion Chapter [a supreme art for fusing and refining treasures to their ultimate potential].

Yet, the Heavenly Emperor's Artifact Fusion Chapter placed exceedingly high demands on one's life-bound treasures. These five treasures, refined without proper guidance in her early years, had ironically become shackles limiting her ascent to greater heights.

With this thought, she lowered her gaze, offering no further words.

Seeing her acceptance, Eldrin Chen proceeded to completely sever and extract the five life-bound treasures from Exquisite Jiang.

"Hmph—"

Exquisite Jiang let out a pained groan. Having cultivated her Lifebound Supreme Treasure [a magical treasure bound to one's life essence and cultivated over many years] for so long, her Path Fruit [the condensed essence of a cultivator's comprehension of their chosen Great Path] and cultivation base were deeply intertwined with it.

Having it forcibly extracted now not only deprived her of five of her Lifebound Treasures, but also inflicted severe damage to her very foundation.

If not for the Nirvana Immortal Marrow [a miraculous substance capable of regenerating and reforging a cultivator's foundation], even the personal guardianship of a Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal realm cultivator] would not have spared her from suffering a devastating, crippling injury.

Fortunately, Exquisite Jiang was not only protected by Eldrin Chen and his True Spirit Primordial Spirit [a perfected state of the spiritual core, offering immense control and resilience], but also had the Nirvana Immortal Marrow to mend her damaged foundation. Not only did her cultivation not regress, but her foundational potential and reserves were greatly enhanced.

Returning to the matter at hand, after extracting the Five Lifebound Immortal Treasures, Eldrin Chen once again lent his aid to help Exquisite Jiang voluntarily dismantle her Great Path [the core cultivation art and philosophical framework that defines a cultivator's power].

Since Exquisite Jiang was now to walk the Pure Lunar Five Elements Great Path [a cultivation art harmonizing the pure essence of the moon with the five fundamental elements], her original Samadhi True Flame [a divine ability of profound, concentrated true flame] and other such Great Path arts were no longer suitable. Therefore, her original Great Path framework had to be discarded.

Dismantling a Great Path was no simple task. Exquisite Jiang's Primordial Spirit Immortal Embryo [the nascent immortal form within a cultivator's spiritual core] and her entire foundation were an amalgamation of spiritual energy and the Path Principles [the fundamental laws and concepts embodied by a Great Path]. Extracting this foundation bit by bit was akin to erasing her cultivation entirely.

Fortunately, both Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang had achieved the True Spirit Primordial Spirit, allowing them to work in concert. One by one, the threads of her Great Path were slowly and carefully unraveled from her being.

In the end, all but the Celestial Unity True Water [a divine ability of harmonizing celestial water essence]—the other four Great Path arts were completely stripped from the very fabric of her foundation.

Even at this moment, despite the replenishment from the Nirvana Immortal Marrow [a legendary substance capable of mending even the most profound injuries], Exquisite Jiang's face remained as pale as paper, her cultivation base and aura having been drained to their absolute limit.

"Seize this chance to rebuild your entire foundation from the ground up."

Eldrin Chen spoke, retrieving various Rare Spiritual Wonders [precious materials containing concentrated spiritual energy] to assist Exquisite Jiang in her Foundation Reforging [a profound process of dismantling and reconstructing one's cultivation base].

Exquisite Jiang nodded, decisively beginning to refine the Rare Spiritual Wonders and cultivate each cultivation realm anew from the very beginning.

Starting from Vital Essence Refinement [the initial stage of cultivation, focusing on refining the body's vital energy], she progressed through Foundation Establishment [the stage of solidifying one's cultivation path], Violet Sanctum [the stage of opening the spiritual sea within], Golden Core [the stage of condensing a core of pure energy], and Infant Soul [the stage of nurturing one's nascent spiritual consciousness]. She cultivated each realm to its absolute pinnacle, achieving a state of power and perfection far surpassing her previous attainments.

Thereafter, she delved once more into comprehending Arcane Power [profound supernatural abilities derived from the laws of the world]. This time, she chose to cultivate five distinct Arcane Power: Supreme Lunar Immortal Metal [an arcane power embodying the sharp, unyielding essence of lunar metal], Primal Shadow Divine Wood [an arcane power representing the tenacious, shadowy vitality of divine wood], Sixfold Lunar Immortal Fire [an arcane power of a sixfold intensified lunar flame], Ninefold Lunar Frigid Earth [an arcane power of a ninefold intensified lunar earth], and Celestial Unity True Water [an arcane power of harmonizing celestial water].

Using these as her foundation, Exquisite Jiang forged a pure Yin Five Elements [the five fundamental elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth] spiritual energy.

Among the five Arcane Power cultivated by Exquisite Jiang, the natures of Supreme Lunar [the supreme lunar essence], Primal Shadow [the primal shadow essence], Sixfold Lunar [the sixfold lunar essence], and Ninefold Lunar [the ninefold lunar essence] were all distinct. In principle, each Yin-attribute Arcane Power would naturally interact, some reinforcing and others conflicting.

Fortunately, the Celestial Unity True Water possessed the power to harmonize all things. It acted as a unifying medium, fusing the four disparate lunar essences together, ultimately transforming them into the singular, cohesive stream of pure Yin Five Elements spiritual energy.

This pure Yin Five Elements spiritual energy contained the power of all five Yin-attribute elemental forces. It was immeasurably more potent and profound than the Samadhi True Flame [a potent true flame] and other Arcane Power she had wielded in her past life.

Furthermore, Exquisite Jiang also forged new Lifebound Treasures [magical artifacts intimately connected to a cultivator's soul and cultivation path] for her cultivation. These were the 'Supreme Lunar Sword', the 'Primal Shadow Vase', the 'Sixfold Lunar Lamp', the 'Ninefold Lunar Plate', and the 'Celestial Unity Pool'.

Though these five treasures were distinct, they collectively fulfilled the prerequisite conditions for cultivating the Heavenly Emperor's Artifact Fusion Chapter. In theory, they could be refined into a True Spirit Treasure [a treasure of the highest order, containing the essence of a True Spirit].

After completing the cultivation of her Pure Yin Five Elements spiritual energy and her Lifebound Treasures, Exquisite Jiang had finally accomplished the two most critical steps of her Foundation Reforging [a profound process of reforging one's cultivation foundation to achieve a higher potential].

She then proceeded methodically with her cultivation, successively mastering five types of Path Principles [fundamental laws and truths of the Great Dao], rules, and Dao patterns.

Decades of millennia later, she once again shattered the Great Path Heavenly Pass [a formidable bottleneck in cultivation] and successfully cultivated the Pure Lunar Limitless Great Path.

On the day the Pure Lunar Limitless Great Path took form, the supreme Space-Time fabric of the Nine Heavens Above split asunder. An Eternal True Spirit [an immortal and primordial spiritual entity] showered down a torrent of Heavenly God [a celestial being of immense power] essence, which fused directly into Exquisite Jiang's Great Path [her personal cultivation path and law]. This signified her ultimate achievement in cultivating a True Spirit Great Path [a cultivation path that embodies the essence and power of a True Spirit].

"A joyous and celebratory occasion."

"Congratulations, my lady. You have finally cultivated the True Spirit Great Path."

Witnessing Exquisite Jiang's success in cultivating the True Spirit Great Path, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel immense joy for her.

Exquisite Jiang slowly opened her eyes, releasing a soft sigh of relief. Although her Foundation Reforging had been a perilous endeavor, she had ultimately achieved her heart's desire.

Now, Exquisite Jiang [the wife of Eldrin Chen], having cultivated the True Spirit Primordial Spirit [the ultimate spiritual core of a cultivator] and integrated the Supreme Lunar Immortal Body [an immortal physique empowered by lunar essence] with the Chaos Supreme Lunar Fruit [a primordial fruit of chaos and lunar power], had already achieved the three great True Spirit Foundation [the foundational arts for attaining a True Spirit Path Fruit]: the True Spirit Primordial Spirit, the True Spirit Great Path [the supreme cultivation art of the True Spirit], and the True Spirit Physique [the ultimate physical constitution].

Thinking of this, Exquisite Jiang spoke, "This harvest has been immense. There are still surplus True Spirit Imprint [the metaphysical marks of a True Spirit's destiny] remaining, enough to illuminate one more True Spirit Aperture [a critical node in the True Spirit cultivation path]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen felt a flicker of joy. Did this mean Exquisite Jiang was on the verge of cultivating a fourth great True Spirit Foundation?

If she could then master the Heavenly Emperor's Artifact Fusion Chapter [a legendary chapter of cultivation focusing on fusing with divine artifacts], the Five True Spirit Foundations [the five foundational arts] would be within reach. Furthermore, by using a True Spirit Treasure [a treasure of True Spirit grade] to temper her spiritual energy, there was even hope for achieving all six great True Spirit Foundation.

If the six great True Spirit Foundation were achieved, the seventh would surely follow as naturally as water flowing downhill.

It was unheard of for one who had mastered six great True Spirit Foundation to fail in attaining the True Spirit Path Fruit [the ultimate fruit of the True Spirit cultivation path].

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen could not help but say, "Your talent is peerless, my lady. You are destined to become the first female Immortal Sage [a supreme immortal who has comprehended the Great Dao] of our Human Race."

Exquisite Jiang smiled at his words. She took Eldrin Chen's hand and said, "Eighty percent of the credit for the smooth success of this Foundation Reforging [the process of reforging one's cultivation foundation] belongs to Senior Primordial Genesis [an ancient and venerable master]."

"Without the Nirvana Immortal Marrow [a miraculous marrow that facilitates rebirth and healing] he bestowed upon me, my foundation would have been severely damaged. Whether I could have successfully reforged it at all would be another matter, let alone cultivate the True Spirit Great Path."

She continued, "Moreover, while cultivating a True Spirit Foundation is difficult, for a truly peerless prodigy, it might merely be a significant, yet not insurmountable, threshold."

"I suspect that Primordial Beginning Divine Sovereign [the Divine Sovereign of the Primordial Beginning], Solar Heavenly Emperor [the Heavenly Emperor of the Sun], and Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor [the Path Ancestor of Primordial Genesis]—eight or nine out of ten of them likely cultivated five or six True Spirit Foundation [foundational cultivation arts based on True Spirit principles] in their time."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Cultivating the initial few True Spirit Foundation was indeed profoundly difficult.

However, once one succeeded in cultivating more than four such foundations, a snowball effect would take hold, significantly reducing the difficulty of mastering the subsequent ones.

Since figures like Violet Radiance Sword Extreme, Defying Heaven, and Heaven Punishment had all managed to cultivate three major True Spirit Foundation, how could those Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [Path Ancestors who are also Immortal Sages] possibly have achieved less than them?

Those Chaos Heavenly Emperor [Heavenly Emperors who rule over the Primordial Chaos] have existed for millions of Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years]. Even a once-in-ten-thousand-Kalpa Tribulation prodigy would be a sight they have witnessed hundreds of times over. They have long grown accustomed to geniuses of the caliber of Defying Heaven and Heaven Punishment.

Cultivating a True Spirit Foundation might be a threshold for becoming a Chaos Heavenly Emperor, but it is certainly not the key to that ultimate achievement. In the eyes of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor, a True Spirit Prodigy [one with a prodigious constitution suited for True Spirit cultivation] may not truly be as exceptionally brilliant as perceived.

Even mastering Three True Spirit Foundations would, at most, earn one a remark that such a person possesses the potential of a Heavenly Emperor—and that is all.

The Chaos [the Primordial Chaos, the formless state preceding creation] is vast and boundless. Throughout the endless flow of the Long River [the metaphorical River of Time], individuals with the potential of a Heavenly Emperor have appeared in numbers beyond counting. Yet, how many ultimately take that final step?

Perhaps not even one in a hundred.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen drew a deep breath and spoke, "We indeed must not become complacent. Yet, my lady, you need not be overly modest either."

"A prodigy who has laid the Four True Spirit Foundations [a legendary and supremely solid foundation for cultivation, formed from four true spiritual sources] would likely be considered a dazzling talent even in the eyes of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [a being who has reached the pinnacle of both the Path and Immortal cultivation, a supreme existence]."

Exquisite Jiang nodded slightly, then spoke: "By the next Kalpa Tribulation [a cataclysmic cycle of cosmic destruction and renewal], I should attain the Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [the ultimate, perfected state of an Immortal, embodying the totality of the Great Dao]."

"We should not waste time now. I intend to enter seclusion to comprehend the Heavenly Emperor's Artifact Fusion Chapter [a profound scripture detailing the method of fusing one's soul with a supreme artifact], striving to swiftly cultivate a True Spirit Treasure [a treasure born from and perfectly attuned to one's own Primordial Spirit, possessing unparalleled power and growth potential]."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod of affirmation. He handed the remaining three strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light [a primordial, unbreakable spiritual radiance essential for forging the most supreme treasures and foundations] to Exquisite Jiang and said, "We are still short two more strands of Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light, but you should begin your cultivation first. I will find a way to procure the Innate Indestructibility Spirit Light." Join our community of readers at audio . novel . com.
