Chapter 1818 : Chaos Purple Phoenix Nest

Handing over all the elixirs and Primordial Spirit Water in his possession to Patriarch Tianya, Eldrin proceeded directly to the core of the Chaos Lair.

At the heart of the Chaotic Nest, Eldrin channeled his entire cultivation base, ceaselessly resisting the boundless pressure of the chaotic waters. His gaze grew contemplative as he delved deeper into thought.

"Using the Chaos Water to suppress my physical form places no small amount of strain on my Innate Primordial Indestructible Body."

"In such circumstances, the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck of the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Principle should be significantly reduced."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, yet did not immediately attempt to breach the Great Perfection Realm of the Primordial Chaos Wuji Dao Principle.

He retrieved 5 precious gourds, and as he gazed upon the Innate 5 Elements Gourd in his hand, a rare trace of joy surfaced on his serene countenance.

This set of innate 5 Elements Gourds consisted of 5 sacred treasures: the Li Fire Gourd, Ren Water Gourd, Yi Wood Gourd, Wu Earth Gourd, and Geng Metal Gourd. Each contained the embryonic power of 1 of the 5 Great Daos, and together they carried the primordial essence of the 5 Elements Great Dao.

Although these 5 treasure gourds differed from the dao principles cultivated by Eldrin (Person Name), they similarly corresponded to the 5 elemental attributes.

If he could refine the origin within, it would likely save Eldrin a great deal of time and unlock the potential of the Primordial Chaos Infinite Dao Principle, allowing him to break through the suppression of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

At this thought, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately began refining the Innate 5 Elements Gourd.

However, after refining it for a short while, Eldrin slightly furrowed his brows and gave up on arduently cultivating this Innate 5 Elements Gourd.

These 5 gourds were all Primordial Ancient Treasures, and even with Eldrin's current cultivation and magic power, refining them proved exceedingly difficult. If he were to force the refinement process, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to refine just 1.

If combined, these 5 would require a dozen or 20-some millennia to succeed.

"The Chaotic Tide comes but once every 100 1000 years. I absolutely cannot afford to squander time like this."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then exhaled a wisp of Postnatal Primordial Purple Qi, which enveloped a fragment of his soul as it flew toward the Li Fire Gourd.

As expected, the moment it detected the Primordial Purple Qi, the Li Fire Gourd acted as if it had found a priceless treasure, instantly drawing it in of its own accord—along with that strand of soul power.

"As expected, no sentient divine artifact could ever resist the temptation of Primordial Purple Qi."

Eldrin smiled faintly, immediately merging that wisp of soul force with the Primordial Li Fire Gourd.

The Innate Gourd of Departing Fire possessed considerable spiritual wisdom, yet this time it offered no resistance to Eldrin’s refinement. Instead, it swiftly absorbed the Primordial Purple Qi and inquired, “Do you have more of this Primordial Qi?”

"The Primordial Purple Qi is exceedingly precious; I have never been 1 to bestow it lightly upon others."

Eldrin replied with serene indifference, gently shaking his head as he said.

At this point, Eldrin flicked his sleeve, and several dozen strands of Primordial Primordial Purple Qi swirled in his palm, each radiating the innate essence of the Primordial Dao.

"Innate Primordial Purple Qi?"

In that instant, the Water, Wood, Earth, and Metal gourds all went berserk.

They let out soft chants as they soared forth, seeking to draw upon those Primordial Purple Auras, yet Eldrin instantly gathered all of them into his grasp.

"Quickly, give us the Primordial Purple Qi."

The Innate Gengjin Gourd opened its mouth, its voice trembling with an indescribable agitation.

Eldrin shook his head upon hearing this, then spoke calmly, "The Primordial Primordial Purple Qi possesses the power to defy fate and reshape destiny. With none of you having rendered the slightest merit, why would I ever entrust it to you?"

"However, if you pledge your service to me, you shall never lack for Primordial Purple Qi in the days to come."

Upon hearing this, the 5 Calabash Lords trembled slightly and hastily inquired, "We wish to follow you, Lord. We implore you to bestow upon us the Primordial Purple Qi."

Eldrin smiled faintly, bestowing a wisp of Acquired Primordial Purple Qi upon each gourd before commencing the refinement of the Innate 5 Elements Gourd.

With the voluntary assistance of the Innate 5 Elements Gourd, Eldrin effortlessly refined all 5 gourds completely.

After completing the refinement, Eldrin smiled faintly and declared, "So long as you faithfully follow me, once I break through to the Great Luo Realm, I shall assuredly aid you in ascending to become a Heavenly Spiritual Root."

Upon hearing this, the Innate 5 Elements Gourds all showed a hint of excitement.

The supreme innate ancient tree seemed but a step away from the Heavenly Spiritual Root, yet breaching this bottleneck proved immeasurably arduous.

Within the chaos, the origin of the Primordial Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) had but 1 known method of emergence—it was conceived through the union of the Indestructible Primordial Radiance and the essence of the Great Dao itself.

Thus, a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) is often innate, and those that evolve from a supreme Primordial Ancient Tree into a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) are nearly the stuff of legend.

Since time immemorial, those born with the foundation of a supreme-grade Primordial Ancient Tree who could advance to a Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) were but 1 in a million.

This required a heaven-defying opportunity to have even a sliver of possibility for success, and currently, Eldrin’s Primordial Purple Qi was nothing short of a miraculous chance for the Innate 5 Elements Gourd.

At this thought, the Innate Li Fire Gourd spoke: "The Primordial Purple Qi, also known as the 'Primordial Primordial Qi,' is the Chaos Origin Qi. Legend has it that this Primordial treasure only existed during the Primordial Era, before Chaos had yet to part."

It originated as the "Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi." After the chaos first parted, it differentiated into 3 great innate entities, thus giving rise to 3 forms: the "Innate Primordial Origin Qi," the "Innate Primordial Light," and the "Innate Primordial Violet Qi."

"It is said that to break through the Chaos Realm, 1 must obtain a complete strand of Primordial Chaos Qi (Cosmic Origin)."

"However, the 'Primordial Chaos Qi' within the chaos appears to have long been depleted. It seems all newly-ascended Chaos Realm cultivators have been using 'Primordial Genesis Qi' as a substitute for their breakthroughs."

The Primordial Li Fire Gourd spoke unhurriedly, its gaze finally settling on Eldrin (Person Name). "Though these Primordial Hongmeng Purple Auras of yours," it said, "are merely the lowest form among the 3 great 'Primordial Hongmeng' forces."

Still far from reaching the Primordial Beginning Qi, it nevertheless remained a 'Primordial Chaos Marvel' that would surely stir the hearts of even the Great Luo Golden Immortals and the Chaos Quasi-Sages.

Eldrin’s heart trembled at these words, his gaze unconsciously darkening as he remarked, “You are merely a spirit root, yet you possess such profound insight?”

Upon hearing this, the Innate 5 Elements Gourd fell into silence.

After a moment of silence, the Earth-Soil Gourd (Magic Treasure) spoke, "We were not actually born at the edges of the 3 1000 Immortal Realms, but came from a Chaos Nest deep within the primordial chaos."

"Not born on the fringes of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, an involuntary look of astonishment flickering across his features.

The Eldrin Gourd then spoke calmly, "We were originally born within a Great Perfection-grade Chaos Nest deep in the primordial chaos, counted among the innate treasures cherished by the Chaos Godfiend—Violet Zenith Ancient Phoenix."

"However, the battle between the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix and an unknown Chaos Godfiend back then shattered over half of the peripheral chaos nests of the 'Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest,' forcing us to flee to the fringes of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains."

Later, their mother took root upon that Chaos Nest, seizing the primordial essence of chaos to condense the Chaos Gourd Nest, using it to temporarily evade the tribulation.

At these words, the Wooden Gourd of Yimu (Magic Treasure) fell into a heavy silence.

Seeing this, the Ren Water Gourd (Magic Treasure) spoke up, "Originally, Mother intended to lay low for a while and wait until the war settled down before returning to check if the Chaos Purple Phoenix Nest (Location) remained unharmed."

"Alas, the raging Chaos Tide swept through, and we were unfortunately cast into the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, thus crossing paths with you."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin couldn't help but momentarily freeze in a daze.

He never expected that the Innate 7-Colored Gourd Vine would possess such profound origins, yet upon careful reflection, it seemed almost inevitable.

Generally speaking, a ninth-grade supreme Chaos Nest could not give birth to a supreme-grade Primordial Ancient Tree.

Moreover, a supreme treasure like the Primordial 7-Colored Gourd Vine was an exceedingly rare and peerless treasure, even in the fringes of the Chaos Sea.

Countless ancient immortals who had weathered 5 or even 6 heavenly tribulations scoured the fringes of the Chaos Ocean for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, yet might never chance upon a single spiritual treasure of such extraordinary worth.

That they could encounter each other within a superior-grade Chaos Nest was, in itself, utterly inconceivable.

By all accounts, where the Innate 7-Colored Gourd Vine took root was undoubtedly a top-tier, ninth-grade Chaos Nest of the finest quality.

Within its depths, not only were there Chaos Beast Kings standing guard, but at least 7 of these sovereigns presided over the domain. These 7 Chaos Beast Kings, combined with the 7 innate ancient gourd treasures, would unleash world-shattering power when deployed in a grand formation.

Without the strength of a 7 Calamity Ancient Immortal, even if several 6 Calamity Ancient Immortals joined forces to assault it, they would only be marching to their doom.

However, if the Innate 7-Colored Gourd Vine had sought refuge and temporarily taken root within that supreme-grade, ninth-tier Chaos Abode—merely biding its time to evade confrontation—then all of this would be perfectly explained.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but remark, "It seems we've stumbled upon an incredible bargain this time."

The Liyan Gourd nodded and said with a smile, "We originally took root on the outskirts of the Primordial Violet Phoenix Nest, surrounded by no less than several 1000 primordial nests standing guard around it."

"By all common sense, without the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Primordial Chaos Demon God, anyone who goes there is courting death."

"Even setting aside the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest, the Chaos Immortal Gourd Nest that once nurtured us was guarded by 7 Chaos Beast Kings, each possessing cultivation realms beyond the Third Heavenly Tribulation."

"The Yin and Yang Chaos Beast Kings possessed cultivation bases comparable to those of Fifth Tribulation Ancient Immortals."

"The Ancient Immortals of your 3 1000 immortal domains are suppressed by the chaos. To assault the Chaos Gourd Nest, you would likely need dozens of Fifth or Sixth Tribulation Ancient Immortals joining forces, perhaps even adding 1 or 2 Seventh Tribulation Ancient Immortals to have a 30 to 50 percent chance of success."

At this point, the Li Fire Gourd (Magic Treasure) sighed again, "What a pity that in the great battle back then, over 3,000 Chaos Nests were shattered."

"The clash between the 2 Primordial Deities was too devastating. After the 7 Chaos Behemoth Kings were conscripted, not a single 1 returned alive."

"My mother had no choice but to take us and flee our nest, escaping all the way to the fringes of the 3 1000 Celestial Realms to seek refuge."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this, realizing he had stumbled upon a heaven-defying opportunity.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask again, "I've heard of the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest's formidable power, but what manner of opponent would dare assault such a place?"

At this point, Eldrin's expression grew profoundly solemn.

Within the Compendium of Chaotic Nests, the Chaotic Violet Phoenix Nest ranks among the top 1 100 nests of its tier in power.

The Chaos Violet Phoenix was 1 of the 7 Chaos Phoenixes, ranking among the top 3 in combat prowess, and could even rival a Chaos Black Dragon of the same cultivation realm.

As far as Eldrin (Person Name) knew, the Chaos 9 Dragons Nest was 1 of the 10 Great Chaos Nests, capable of nurturing up to 9 Chaos Ancestral Dragons at the Chaos Realm level.

The Chaos 7 Phoenix Nest was equally extraordinary, said to be capable of nurturing up to 7 Chaos Immortal Phoenixes.

The Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest had only given birth to a single Chaos Immortal Phoenix, falling short of the legendary 7 Chaos Phoenix Nests. Yet the Chaos Violet Phoenix remained 1 of the revered 7 Chaos Phoenixes, its power not to be underestimated. Who would dare believe someone could actually storm their sacred grounds?

Eldrin fell into contemplation, his gaze tinged with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the 5 Calabash Elders also fell into silence.

The Gengjin Gourd fell silent for a moment before finally speaking. "We know little of that battle from back then. All we recall is how the chaos suddenly shifted in hue, and an indescribable existence tore its way into the heart of the Chaos Nest."

She stood with an immeasurably majestic height, clad in dazzling violet scales, her form largely shrouded in primordial chaos that blurred all clarity. All I could discern were horns longer than an entire celestial realm, coiled with the thunderous power capable of ending worlds.

At that moment, she thrust forward through a corner of the vast chaos, forcibly piercing through countless chaos nests. Even the legendary Violet Phoenix Chaos Nest was violently breached, leaving a gaping hole in its wake.

At this point, the Divine Sense within the Gengjin Golden Gourd (Magic Treasure) trembled faintly, as if plunged into unimaginable horror.

Eldrin was left speechless. A horn larger than the entire celestial realm—could this truly be a living creature? It was utterly inconceivable, an indescribable horror beyond comprehension.

It must be understood that every immortal realm is an amalgamation of countless multiverses, encompassing infinite dimensional voids within, where the worlds born from the evolution of myriad heavens are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

The vastness of a celestial realm spanned not merely trillions of light-years—it defied all mortal comprehension of scale.

A single horn was vaster than the entire immortal realm. How magnificent must her true form be? Perhaps not even a whole cosmos could rival the scale of a single cell within her body.

"Are all Chaos Gods and Demons like this?"

Eldrin's face was somewhat pale, momentarily at a loss for words to express his emotions.

Compared to an entire immortal realm, his own power was but a drop in the ocean. Should he face such a primordial chaos deity, a mere wisp of its aura would be enough to reduce him to ashes.

"If I were to break through to the Great Luo Realm, could I achieve such a feat?"

An instant later, Eldrin regained his composure, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

A single horn was mightier than an entire immortal realm, capable of piercing through a primordial chaos nest. Such combat prowess was truly awe-inspiring, yet it stirred a surge of heroic defiance in the hearts of all who witnessed it.

In that very moment, Eldrin also pondered whether, should he break through to the Great Luo Realm, he could subdue a vast immortal domain with a mere snap of his fingers?

With this thought, Eldrin's resolve to cultivate assiduously grew even more resolute.

"The Great Dao Realm remains far beyond my reach. Dwelling on it now would be of no benefit."

Eldrin spoke calmly, his gaze shifting to the 5 sacred gourds. "Will you aid me in my cultivation?"

"Alas..."

Upon hearing this, the 5 gourd vessels shimmered faintly before ultimately agreeing to Eldrin's terms.

"Bzzz—"

In that very instant, the Innate 5 Elements Gourd erupted with dazzling divine light,

They abruptly soared into the air, unleashing torrents of the 5 Elements Primordial Force that surged into Eldrin's body in cascading waves.

The origin sources of the 5 Primordial Ancient Treasures were boundlessly vast, let alone the fact that gourd-type magical treasures inherently possessed energy-storing properties. At this moment, as the 5 Primordial Ancient Treasures continuously poured forth their origin power, Eldrin's (Person Name) spiritual energy began to surge exponentially under this reciprocal nourishment.
