Chapter 1807 : Profound Yang Qi

The Great Cold Emperor murmured, his countenance shifting slightly as he whispered to himself, "Since the formation of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains Grand Array, countless kalpas have passed without a single visit from a Chaos Realm expert from beyond our realm."

"Yet the clashes between the Great Luo of the Primordial Chaos Sea and those entities dwelling in its abyssal depths have intensified, with several Great Luo falling into slumber in recent years."

"Now it seems an indescribable presence has arrived. Could it be that those entities from ancient times are preparing to make a comeback?"

The Grandcold Sovereign murmured, his expression growing increasingly grave before finally easing into a faint tranquility.

As the supremely revered Celestial Empress of the Primal Immortal Realm, she had long since anchored her True Spirit within the realm itself. So long as the Primal Immortal Realm endured, her demise was an impossibility.

The Primordial Immortal Realm, as the first-born domain among the chaos, held an extraordinary status. Its Heavenly Dao power was virtually indestructible and eternal.

Even supreme experts at the Chaos Realm like the Solar Celestial Emperor or the Primordial Divine Sovereign could never destroy the Primordial Immortal Domain, let alone defy its Heavenly Dao to slay him.

Contemplating this, the Grand Chill Sovereign pondered at length before finally lowering his gaze with measured resolve.

Since the Heavenly Secrets were obscured and the visitor appeared to be a Chaos Realm expert, she could not discern their identity and had no choice but to abandon further inquiry.

At the same moment, Eldrin strolled up the steps of Taihan Immortal City and followed the crowd into a majestic celestial palace.

Taihan Immortal Palace!

Gazing upon the celestial palace before him, Eldrin murmured inwardly before following the Ancient of the Farthest Shore across its threshold.

This Cold Immortal Palace appeared to cover only a few acres of land, yet within its confines stretched a boundless expanse, vast as a cosmos itself.

Seeing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "A realm within a realm—what a magnificent celestial palace!"

Seeing their bewilderment, the Celestial Maiden smiled and explained, "Many treasures at the Celestial Immortal and Ancient Immortal levels are vast and boundless, some even grander than an entire star river."

"Particularly those supreme-grade innate treasures, which often transcend multiple dimensions as extraordinary marvels capable of collapsing an entire vast minor universe."

"At such a grand trading assembly, if all the treasures were to be displayed at once within a confined space, I fear even the void of the immortal realm would risk being torn asunder."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod.

At such an exchange gathering, hundreds to thousands of Heavenly Immortals and Great Adepts had gathered, with quite a few Ancient Immortal Great Adepts among them as well.

Many of these beings were transcendent lifeforms existing beyond the cosmos, whose primordial true forms alone spanned millions, even tens of millions of light-years. Were they to truly gather in 1 place, the very fabric of this celestial realm would likely struggle to contain them.

After all, any Celestial Immortal could tear through the fabric of space in the immortal realm and traverse the boundless void.

At this thought, Eldrin surveyed the grand hall and discovered it was not only boundless in expanse, but also veiled in ethereal mist. Layer upon layer of haze obscured the divine senses of the immortals.

In the center of the grand hall, an innate ancient treasure hovered, suppressing the void and stabilizing the space of this celestial palace.

Just as his thoughts wavered, the group arrived at a pavilion suspended in the void.

Eldrin peered through the layered immortal mists and discovered over 3,000 figures already gathered within the grand hall. Among them, the 30-some ancient immortals at the center emanated the most majestic aura of all.

Among these ancient immortal mighty ones were several familiar figures, including Eldrin.

Heavenrend Demon Emperor, Sixfold Ancestor!

Eldrin murmured softly, his gaze carrying a trace of solemnity.

Within the Immortal Realm of Extreme Cold, there were over a 100 ancient immortals, yet only the Heaven-Rending Demon Emperor and the 6 Harmonies Ancestor had left a lasting impression on Eldrin.

两人之中，六合老祖乃是修成教主级神通的七劫古仙，裂天妖皇则是号称有望大罗的妖族天骄，甚至还被白鹤仙君重视，可见其潜能绝非寻常。

"According to the intelligence I've gathered over these years, the Skyrend Demon Emperor possesses the 'Primal Yang Qi' you seek."

At that very moment, the Ancient 1 of the Distant Skies slowly spoke, his expression revealing a trace of solemnity.

Hearing this, Eldrin felt a flicker of delight and instinctively looked up. There, upon the lofty platform, reclined the Sky-Rending Demon Emperor, seemingly immersed in deep cultivation with his eyes closed.

Back in the day, Eldrin journeyed to the Great Cold Celestial Realm to make preparations for advancing the Yin-Yang Unity Vessel, enlisting the aid of the Ancient 1 of the Horizon and the Celestial Maiden to gather intelligence. Now, his efforts had finally borne fruit.

To advance the Yin-Yang Unity Vessel, 1 requires the supreme innate wonder of Yin-Yang Dual Energy. This primal energy is exceptionally scarce, with each wisp constituting nothing less than an exceedingly rare supreme treasure.

Among them, only 2 sets of materials were most suitable for advancing the Yin-Yang Unity Cauldron: Pure Yang Qi (Spiritual Root) and Pure Yin Qi, along with Mysterious Yang Qi and Mysterious Yin Qi.

Among the 2 sets of rare treasures, the Pure Yin Qi and Pure Yang Qi (Spiritual Root) represented the most pristine Yin and Yang energies between heaven and earth, existing only fleetingly in the mortal realm during the primordial dawn of the celestial domains.

In ages past, when the Violet Immortal Lord aided the 7-Colored Immortal Clam of the Immortal Clam Tribe in transforming into a 9-Colored Immortal Clam, it was precisely this primordial Yin-Yang energy that was employed.

The Profound Yang Qi and Profound Yin Qi were vastly different—such innate marvels could only be born at the moment a celestial realm faced annihilation.

This time, what the Heaven-Rending Demon Emperor intended to auction was none other than the 'Profound Yang Qi (Spiritual Energy)'.

At this point, Old Ancestor Tianya said, "This strand of Mystic Yang Qi was conceived within that fractured immortal realm. Unfortunately, that broken immortal domain only possesses 7 celestial layers, not a complete immortal realm."

"Otherwise, such a marvel born from the annihilation of immortal realms should have a certain probability of being an Innate Divine Artifact of the Innate Spiritual Treasure level."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin finally understood that after the shattered immortal realm had vanished, the most precious treasures had been claimed by various parties. The Sky-Sundering Demon Emperor had obtained 1 of the most valuable artifacts, which included this Primordial Yang Qi.

Getting back to the main topic, with the definite lead on the Profound Sun Qi, Eldrin finally felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

He said nothing more, simply waiting for the Exchange Assembly to commence.

They did not arrive particularly early, yet had not waited long before the day of the Bartering Assembly commenced.

On this day, a woman draped in pure white robes descended upon the central platform. Her cultivation was unfathomably profound, causing even Eldrin (Person Name) to momentarily lose his composure.

"This is the Frostmaiden of the Celestial Frigid Domain, the Holy Maiden from the Celestial Frigid Sect's branch in the Celestial Frigid Realm. Her cultivation is said to be unfathomable, having shattered at least 5 Heavenly Barriers."

The Ancient 1 of the Distant Skies spoke, his expression grave as he offered a word of caution.

Eldrin gave a slight nod, only to see Fairy Kongshuang glance around before smiling at the assembly. "Fellow Daoists," she announced, "this Treasure Exchange Conference shall now commence."

"As the host, I shall begin by offering a modest spur to induce others to come forward with valuable contributions."

As her words faded, Immortal Kongshuang waved her sleeve, revealing several legendary treasures.

Eldrin looked up, his brow slightly furrowing in surprise. Though the woman had only taken out 9 portions of rare treasures, each 1 was an exceptionally rare divine marvel of unprecedented quality.

Void Calamity Seal, Mysterious Tai Xuan Blade, Lunar Corona Crown, Flower of Dao Derivation, Primordial Limit-Breaking Elixir…

Everyone present gazed upon these treasures, their faces revealing expressions of utmost greed.

These treasures were either Primordial Ancient Treasures, top-grade Ninth Rank Spirit Pills, or supreme-grade Primordial Marvels—each and every 1 could be considered a peerless treasure.

"That Innate Primordial Breakthrough Pill is refined from the entire flesh and blood of a Chaos Beast King, capable of greatly increasing 1's chances of shattering the physical body's Heavenly Barrier."

"The Primordial Dao-Forming Flower can even simulate the embryonic form of the Great Dao, providing immense enhancement in breaking through the Heavenly Barrier of the Great Dao. Such a divine artifact..."

Tianya Ancestor’s eyes gleamed with intense longing, yet in the end, he shook his head and sighed, “Such a divine treasure is far beyond what the likes of us could ever afford.”

The Celestial Maiden smiled faintly, yet replied gracefully, "You possess the Primordial Chaos Elixir and treasures like the Qiankun Primordial Qi Water—these divine artifacts are in no way inferior to those 2."

"An ordinary Celestial Immortal at the Great Perfection stage might not even encounter such a divine object once in hundreds of millions of years. What more could you possibly desire?"

As she spoke, the Celestial Maiden quietly transmitted her voice, offering the supreme-grade innate treasure, Primordial Void Ancient Gold, as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Innate Dao-Devising Flower.

Eldrin and the others immediately cupped their hands in congratulations upon witnessing this.

The Ancient 1 of the Horizon couldn't help but smile. "With this artifact's assistance," he said, "your breakthrough to the realm of the Ancient Immortals appears to be as certain as sunrise."

"Not exactly a sure thing," the Celestial Maiden smiled faintly before continuing, "But it should tip the scales in our favor."

Tianya Ancestor said no more upon hearing this.

The first 3 tribulations of the Ancient Immortal Realm were incomparable to the Great Perfection Stage—merely a transitional state after all. With the Celestial Maiden’s innate divine nature, even without such a divine artifact, she would inevitably break through the Ancient Immortal Realm in time.

The difference lies in that without these divine artifacts, it might take hundreds of millions of years and enduring several kalpic tribulations to achieve a breakthrough.

Now that I possess these divine artifacts, if I still cannot break through, then I am truly worthless.

To return to our story, after the Celestial Maiden obtained the Primal Chaos Dao-Blossom, the Grand Bartering Assembly continued without pause.

The remaining treasures in Fairy Kongshuang’s hands fell into the possession of several ancient immortals. It was at this very moment that Eldrin sensed a rather familiar aura.

"Could it be... Him?"

Eldrin murmured, his brow involuntarily furrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Patriarch Tianya couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

An old acquaintance.

Eldrin spoke slowly, his gaze inadvertently meeting Lyra's.

Lyra nodded, her expression growing solemn. "It must be Him," she said gravely. "Fortunately, the immortal mist obscures divine senses. He likely hasn't detected our presence."

Seeing this, the Ancient 1 of the Distant Skies inquired, "Are they enemies? Do you require our assistance?"

Seeing this, Eldrin had no choice but to explain, "This individual is a Great Demon Sovereign from the same celestial realm as I, and the ancestral patriarch of the Golden Crow race."

With that, Eldrin's expression turned extremely grave as he gazed toward the figure shrouded deep within the immortal mist.

Deep within the immortal mists, a dazzling golden figure sat majestically at the center of the Dao platform, his aura boundless and grand, shining upon all heavens like the primordial sun.

"An ancient Golden Crow Clan immortal?"

The Celestial Maiden murmured softly, then lifted her gaze and remarked, "His cultivation appears to be at the Third Heavenly Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm. I fear his strength cannot be underestimated."

Eldrin also nodded, his heart growing somewhat heavy.

The person before him was none other than 1 of the 5 Ancient Immortals of the Qingcang Immortal Domain—the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal from the Golden Crow Cave Heaven.

"To think he would also come to the Taihan Immortal Realm."

Eldrin opened his mouth to speak, then shook his head faintly.

The Great Chill Immortal Realm stood as the center of dozens of surrounding immortal realms, where every Grand Bazaar of Treasures featured numerous supreme-grade innate marvels.

In comparison, the Cang Heaven Realm only had 5 Ancient Immortals, and it was rare for outside Ancient Immortals to visit. These Ancient Immortals simply couldn’t acquire the treasures they desired within the Cang Heaven Realm.

Thus, seeking the Primordial Marvels made the Taihan Immortal Realm their optimal choice.

After all, the Celestial Han Immortal Domain was not too far from the Celestial Qingcang Immortal Domain. For a Celestial Immortal powerhouse, crossing the void with their physical body would only take a few tens of thousands of years to reach.

Even so, Eldrin still felt somewhat concerned.

After all, the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal held a grudge against him. Within the Azure Heavens Immortal Realm, protected by the Heavenly Dao, the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal dared not act against him.

However, now that he had left the Qingcang Immortal Realm, if the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal were to strike at him directly, it would likely pose a considerable problem.

In particular, even Eldrin (Person Name) dared not reveal the existence of the Abyssal Pearl (Magic Treasure), a connate spiritual treasure.

Understanding Eldrin’s concern, the Heaven-Reaching Elder furrowed his brow slightly and spoke, “There is no need for you to worry. Even if that individual intends to strike against you, he cannot act within the bounds of the Great Cold Immortal Realm.”

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, a faint sense of reassurance settling in his heart.

He understood there was an unspoken rule across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains: Ancient Immortal powerhouses were forbidden from taking action within the domains.

Because the combat prowess of the Ancient Immortals was far too astonishing, unleashing their full power could potentially inflict severe damage upon the immortal realms, even harming parts of the earth veins.

Perhaps 1 or 2 strikes would not amount to much, but after countless strikes, the mountains, rivers, and earth veins of the immortal realm would suffer severe damage.

Thus, the ancient immortals across the major immortal realms seldom engaged in combat within these domains.

If this were in the Qingcang Immortal Domain, it would be 1 thing—after all, as 1 of the local despots of Qingcang, the Golden Crow Patriarch had no 1 to keep him in check.

Within the Immortal Realm of Extreme Cold, as an ancient immortal powerhouse from another realm, should he take action here, neither the Heavenly Dao of this world nor the other ancient immortal powerhouses would tolerate his presence.

"I hope he didn't notice us, or this could turn into quite the headache."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint sense of trouble nagging at his heart.

Seeing this, the Ancient 1 of the Sky’s Edge spoke calmly, “Do not worry. Once we break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm in a few days, the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal will no longer be a concern.”

"If it comes to it, we'll escort you back when the time comes."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also let out a subtle sigh of relief.

Without another word, he simply cupped his hands and said, "My thanks."

As time flowed on, the exchange assembly continued its course. After Fairy Kongshuang descended from the stage, Patriarch Liuhe was the second to step forward.

This individual truly lived up to someone who had secretly plundered 5 supreme-grade Chaos Nests, possessing no fewer than several 100 Innate Marvels (Heavenly Treasure) in his possession. However, it seemed his injuries had yet to fully heal—after exchanging for numerous divine healing artifacts, he hastily departed from the Trading Assembly.

The third to take the stage was none other than the Heaven-Rending Demon Emperor.

The Sky-Sundering Demon Emperor also produced a considerable number of rare treasures—a full dozen or so innate divine artifacts, clearly all spoils seized from the Frostfair Immortal Domain.

Meanwhile, Eldrin’s gaze fell upon the Profound Yang Qi. This was his primary objective in coming here, and he had no intention of letting it slip away.

But just at that moment, a familiar voice drifted over.

"This Profound Yang Qi is what I desire!"

"What divine treasure would the Demon Emperor require to part with this?" (End of Chapter)
