Chapter 1852 : Primordial Soul Scripture

Within the Sea of Nether Origin, Eldrin continuously drew upon the nether essence, as the pure yin origin within his body of pure yang began to converge.

Unknowingly, he felt the Yin Essence within him continuously replenishing, until it had nearly reached parity with his Yang Essence.

Yet even so, this pure Yin essence was nothing more than rootless duckweed. As it continued to be consumed, this pure Yin essence would gradually deplete.

Fortunately, Eldrin had long prepared a countermeasure. He continuously channeled his Pure Yang Origin, causing it to intertwine and merge with the Pure Yin Origin, transforming into a swirling Tai Chi of yin and yang.

Thus as time flowed on, until the very moment the Yin Yang Taiji diagram thundered into perfect union, ultimately transforming into a single strand of primordial Chaos Wuji origin.

"Chaos Primordial Body, the supreme origin before the creation of chaos."

Eldrin murmured softly, his entire aura shifting continuously, transforming into a state of primordial obscurity before returning to normal in the blink of an eye.

The so-called Chaos Primordial Body represents the most primordial constitution of heaven and earth, the most ancient origin. This constitution transcends the duality of yin and yang, born before the creation of the world.

However, such a physique transcends the duality of Yin and Yang, embodying the wondrous unity of Primordial Chaos. Yet it can also give rise to all things of Yin and Yang, enabling the cultivation of myriad divine abilities and supernatural powers. It is the most primordial and original form of existence.

Eldrin replenished his pure Yin origin, ultimately cultivating the Chaos Primordial Origin. His foundation had now reversed into chaos, transcending the constraints of Yin-Yang and the 5 Elements. Henceforth, practicing myriad divine abilities would no longer be hindered by the limitations of Yin-Yang origins.

"The Great 5 Elements Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder may perhaps be mastered in the coming days."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly before gradually rising, awakening from his secluded cultivation.

Yet at that very moment, his expression shifted slightly as he gazed at the figure not far away, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face.

There stood a woman of unparalleled elegance, poised amidst the boundless netherworld. Her mere tranquil presence eclipsed the splendor of all 9 Heavens and 10 Realms.

Vast as heaven and earth may be, and countless as living beings are, none could compare to the breathtaking beauty held within a single glance from her.

"Senior..."

In an instant, Eldrin felt a tremor in his heart and immediately rose to pay his respects.

The woman, however, gave a faint smile and extended her hand to raise him up in a gesture of support. Her beautiful eyes held a trace of amusement as she said, "An Indestructible Body, an Eternal Spirit, and 2 Innate Spiritual Treasures... You truly possess remarkable fortune and potential..."

Eldrin’s heart trembled violently. He never expected this woman to see right through him, laying bare every secret he held. As he recalled the 2 innate spiritual treasures concealed within his body, a wave of tension tightened in his chest.

The Grand Serene Emperor guessed his concerns and chuckled lightly. "Rest assured, a mere 2 inferior-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures are hardly considered rare treasures in my eyes. They are not worth me bullying a junior over my status."

"Yet your innate talent has truly astonished this Emperor."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a slight sigh of relief, though a trace of tension still lingered.

Seeing this, the Emperor of the Abyssal Beyond smiled faintly and said, "An Indestructible Divine Soul and an Indestructible Body are rare, but by no means unheard of."

"Yet, like you, to set foot upon this step before achieving the Great Dao and Dao Fruit—throughout the annals of the 3 1000 immortal domains, such individuals can be counted on 1 hand."

"If my predictions are correct, you will most likely ascend to become a generation's Eldrin (Person Name) in the future, perhaps even possessing the potential to take that final step."

"You flatter me, Senior."

Seeing that the Grand Nether Sovereign showed no greed for the innate spiritual treasure, Eldrin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He cast a glance at the Emperor of the Abyss and couldn't help but cup his hands in salute, saying, "Esteemed senior, could you be His Majesty the Emperor of the Abyss?"

"Quite clever."

The Grand Serene Emperor smiled, then carefully examined Eldrin once more before nodding in approval. "It seems your potential far exceeds what I had anticipated. No wonder you managed to gain the favor of that 1."

"That 1?" Eldrin was momentarily taken aback, then inquired, "Might I ask who this '1' you speak of refers to, Senior?"

"It seems you are still unaware." The Great Nether Emperor smiled, speaking calmly. "But then again, with your current level of cultivation, it is indeed not yet time for you to meet him."

"In that case, there's no need for further questions. When the time comes, you will naturally understand everything."

Hearing this, Eldrin vaguely understood that there seemed to be an unseen entity orchestrating events behind his back—1 likely even more formidable than the Great Nether Sovereign.

At this thought, his heart grew increasingly somber. Yet he refrained from saying more, only inquiring respectfully, "Then might I ask, Elder, what matter has compelled you to seek out this junior?"

The Grand Serene Emperor studied Eldrin for a long moment before finally seeming to reach a decision. "I have come today to ask a favor of you, young friend," he spoke at length.

"Pray speak, Elder."

Eldrin did not immediately agree. A favor involving the Primordial Chaos Emperor was not something he dared assist with recklessly.

Seeing this, the Grand Yin Emperor flicked his sleeve, causing the void to shift. A woman of unparalleled beauty materialized before him—none other than You Wu, the Ancient Immortal who had survived 8 heavenly tribulations.

Master.

At first, Youwu didn’t quite register what was happening. Only when she looked up and saw the Great Nether Sovereign did she drop into a deep bow, saying,

The Grand Serene Emperor nodded, then turned his gaze to Eldrin and said, "My nominal disciple possesses remarkable aptitude. During this cosmic tribulation, she will attempt to breach the Grand Luo Realm."

"However, the Heavenly Gate of Fate is exceedingly difficult to breach. I wish to request your assistance in watching over matters during the kalpa's tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it wasn't a favor for Great Cold Emperor himself, but merely concerning an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, he felt confident he could lend a hand. He promptly cupped his hands and replied, "Should we meet during the Tribulation, I shall naturally offer my assistance."

"Very well."

The Grand Serene Emperor nodded and with a flick of his sleeve, sent Youwu away. He then turned his gaze to Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "Since I have asked for your assistance, I certainly will not treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, the Great Nether Emperor flicked his sleeve, casting a strange beam of light that fell into Eldrin's hand.

Eldrin merely glanced at it, yet his heart was struck by a profound shock. That strange radiance revealed an ancient, weathered scripture, upon which was inscribed a line of large characters—Primordial Heaven and Earth Soul Codex.

"Primordial Earth Soul Tome?"

Eldrin murmured under his breath, his eyes revealing a flicker of astonishment.

The Great Netherworld Emperor nodded, then said calmly, "I am 1 of the 12 primordial Innates born at the dawn of Chaos."

"This Primordial Soul Tome is my innate companion scripture, and also ranks among the strongest soul cultivation methods across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. Back then, it was solely through comprehending the profundities within this text that I achieved the cultivation of a 12-Circle True Spirit Nascent Soul."

As the Grand Serene Emperor narrated in a measured tone, Eldrin gradually came to understand the origins of this ancient scroll.

In the primordial dawn of the Primal Immortal Realm, when chaos first coalesced into existence, it gave birth to myriad innate beings and wondrous treasures. Among them emerged a chaos spiritual artifact known as the Tome of Trilateral Chaos Souls.

Later, the Chaos Tri-Soul Tome underwent a mutation, splitting into the 3 separate tomes: the Celestial Soul, the Earth Soul, and the Mortal Soul.

The Book of Heaven, Earth, and Man Souls were primordial treasures of immeasurable worth, born from the division of a Chaos Spiritual Artifact.

That day, the Heaven Soul Tome soared through the 9 Heavens, becoming the companion treasure of the Divine Emperor of the Great Void, while the Earth Soul Tome merged with the primordial essence of the Darkened Emperor, transforming into his own companion treasure.

The final volume, the Book of Human Souls, was seized by an unknown entity within the primordial chaos.

The Grand Serene Emperor obtained the Earth Soul Tome. After secluded cultivation for many years, he forged an Indestructible Primordial Spirit, ultimately attaining the Dao and achieving the realm of a Primordial Chaos Emperor.

It could be said that in the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit, even the 2 Divine Sovereigns, the 3 Heavenly Emperors, and even the 2 Dao Ancestor Immortal Sages would not dare claim to surpass the Great Abyssal Emperor.

After realizing the profound value of this ancient scripture, Eldrin felt an overwhelming surge of excitement, yet he couldn't help but turn to the Emperor of the Abyssal Silence and ask, "Does Your Excellency truly intend for me to comprehend this sutra?"

"Don't celebrate too soon."

The Emperor of Netherdark's gaze flickered subtly, a trace of amusement dancing in his eyes as he glanced at Eldrin. He spoke with tranquil authority, "Among the 30-6 personal disciples under my tutelage, each has attained the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Yet not a single 1 has succeeded in mastering this scripture."

Moreover, the characters inscribed upon this ancient scroll were formed from Chaos Dao Patterns. The meaning contained within a single character surpassed the entire ancient history of a civilization, making the endeavor to comprehend it an immensely arduous task.

"1 1000 years shall be granted to you. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on your destiny."

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a faint tremor in his heart and immediately took up the Earth Soul Scripture to contemplate its mysteries.

But in the instant it swept past, Eldrin let out a slight sigh of relief.

The meaning of the Earth Soul Scripture was far less intricate than the Primordial Chaos Sutra, its profundity roughly on par with the Primordial Genesis Qi Sutra.

With Eldrin's (Person Name) comprehension, it might take some time to fully grasp the essence of this text, but memorizing the scripture would hardly pose a challenge.

Thinking of this, Eldrin quickly memorized the Earth Soul Scripture and imprinted it into his sea of consciousness.

But at this very moment, Eldrin discovered that the Primordial Chaos Scripture within his sea of consciousness was continuously glowing. Beams of primordial light emerged from the scripture, intertwining with the imprinted Earth Soul Book until they ultimately coalesced into an ancient tome.

When Eldrin (Person Name) regained his senses, he discovered a line of majestic characters inscribed upon the ancient tome—Primordial Heaven and Earth Soul Scripture.

Gazing at that line of bold characters, Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint ripple of emotion stirring in his eyes.

He discovered that within his sea of consciousness, the Primordial Earth Soul Book existed between the tangible and intangible, adorned with indescribable primordial Dao patterns that perfectly replicated the Primordial Chaos Treasure—the Earth Soul Book of the Grand Nether Sovereign.

However, after a brief deduction, Eldrin discovered that this volume of the Earth Soul Scripture possessed astonishing profundity.

He discovered that this ethereal Primordial Soul Scripture in his mind could not only be used for personal enlightenment, but could also be cast into others' sea of consciousness as a single-use treasure.

However, to project the Illusory Earth Soul Scripture into another's sea of consciousness, 1 must expend a strand of Primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi to solidify it into tangible form.

Moreover, as the Earth Soul Tome was far too profound and esoteric, and unlike the Sutra of Primordial Beginning Qi—a treasure born alongside its wielder—how much 1 could comprehend from this tome ultimately depended on their own destiny.

Even so, Eldrin remained profoundly exhilarated, for such a peerless miraculous text—once imprinted into another’s sea of consciousness—could enable 1 to break through their limits, even if only a minuscule portion of it could be comprehended.

If passed on to Lyra (Person Name), it would likely enable her to cultivate an Eleventh-Cycle Indestructible Primordial Spirit. Coupled with the Great 5 Thunder Spirit Refinement Art of the Major 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, it might even grant her a glimpse into the possibility of attaining a Twelfth-Cycle Primordial Spirit.

At this thought, Eldrin jolted back to his senses and bowed deeply toward the Emperor of the Abyssal Silence. "Many thanks for your generous gift, Senior. This junior has already committed the scripture to memory."

"May I ask, Esteemed Senior, if I am permitted to pass down this scripture to my dao companion and disciples?"

The Grand Serene Emperor was momentarily taken aback. After studying Eldrin (Person Name) intently, he remarked, "You are truly 1 who prioritizes family."

"Very well. Since you have already committed it to memory, I grant you permission to pass it on to others."

"However, this scripture is the orthodox inheritance of our Taiyou lineage and cannot be widely disseminated. You may pass it on to no more than 9 individuals."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately exclaimed with overwhelming excitement, "My deepest gratitude, Esteemed Senior!"

The Grand Serene Emperor nodded, then chuckled softly as he observed Eldrin’s expression. “Do not rejoice too soon. The Earth Soul Tome is profoundly mysterious. Among the hundreds of registered disciples under my tutelage who have studied this scripture, most have only managed to grasp the merest fragments of its essence.”

"The person by your side cannot personally comprehend this text. Relying solely on your oral interpretation, I fear they may not even grasp a fraction of its essence."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. He considered informing the Emperor of the Abyssal Silence that he could imprint the Primordial Genesis Qi Sutra and project it into another’s consciousness, but the thought vanished as quickly as it arose, suppressed within the depths of his mind.

The Primordial Chaos Scripture was far too profound and arcane—even Dao Ancestors and Immortal Saints would likely covet it. Though the Great Nether Emperor was a revered elder of the human race, he dared not take such a risk.

Speaking of which, the Primordial Chaos Sutra was truly incomparably mysterious. Hidden within Eldrin's (Person Name) sea of consciousness, it had actually escaped the notice of the Great Nether Emperor entirely—without even a trace of abnormality or suspicion.

At that moment, the Emperor of Netherdark put away the Earth Soul Scripture and remarked, "In merely 1 100 years, you have completely memorized the Earth Soul Scripture. Such talent surpasses even my own in the past—no wonder you caught the attention of that 1."

"Since you have committed it to memory, devote yourself to cultivation. Should you comprehend 80 percent of its mysteries, it shall suffice to forge your True Spirit Primordium through all 12 celestial thresholds."

Eldrin nodded slightly. As he watched the Great Nether Emperor about to depart, he pondered for a moment before cupping his hands respectfully. "Senior, please wait. This junior has 1 more question to ask."

Problem.

The Grand Serenity Emperor paused mid-step, glancing down at Eldrin before speaking, "I presume what you wish to inquire about are those Great Luo-level wind and ice elemental earth veins?"

Eldrin’s heart trembled upon hearing this. He immediately lowered his head and said, “I cannot hide anything from your discerning eyes, Senior.”

The Grand Serene Emperor smiled faintly before speaking, "Your method of physical cultivation is truly extraordinary. However, a Great Luo-grade wind-attribute earth vein and ice-attribute earth vein could also be considered exceptionally rare."

"Most crucially, before breaking through to the Great Luo Realm, you must not come into contact with other Great Luo Golden Immortals. You can only seek out unclaimed earth veins."

Hearing her words, Eldrin nodded, his expression turning profoundly solemn.

He was well aware of his own circumstances. With 2 innate spiritual treasures upon him and countless secrets that would tempt even Great Perfection Golden Immortals, it was truly unwise for him to visit the abodes of other such powerful beings.

The Grand Nether Emperor pondered briefly before responding, "The earth vein of ice attribute is manageable. Since the Lord of Extreme Cold has been absent from the Frigid Domain for years, you may cultivate there with a trusted associate's endorsement."

"As for the wind-attribute earth veins..."

The Grand Yin Emperor’s voice paused briefly. After a moment of contemplation, he surmised, “During the Quantumn Cataclysm, the Immortal Ruins Ancient Land will reappear in the mortal realm. I believe what you seek lies there.” (End of Chapter)
