Chapter 1856 : Primordial Chaos, Yin Yang Myriad Crow Pot

"I went to cultivate in the Great Chill Immortal Domain for a time, which delayed me slightly."

Eldrin calculated with his fingers and realized there were merely 1,100,000 years remaining until the cosmic tribulation, while his own grand birthday of 10 million years was swiftly approaching.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but inquire, "The birthday celebration approaches. Have the children returned yet?"

Lyra smiled faintly and said, "Qingfeng, Wen Yuan, Xian Qing, and Xian Zhang are currently overseeing the arrangements for this matter. Xian Zhu will also return when the time comes."

"However, 3 million years ago, the Sage Dao journeyed to the Primal Immortal Realm and has yet to return. The Sage Thought remains absent as well."

Speaking of Chen Xiannian, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but reveal a trace of bitterness.

Back when Chen Xiannian journeyed through the Stellar Zenith Immortal Realm, he was taken away by an unknown elder. Over 9 million years had passed since then, yet Xiannian remained missing without a trace, leaving Lyra (Person Name) perpetually tormented by profound worry in her heart.

Eldrin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh upon hearing this.

Over the years, he had repeatedly divined Chen Xiannian's whereabouts, yet each attempt was shrouded by an invisible force.

Even with Eldrin's current level of cultivation, he still couldn't fathom the old Taoist's true power from back then, making him increasingly aware of how terrifying that old Taoist truly was.

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but sigh. "Looking back now, that old Taoist must have been at least at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level."

"For individuals of their stature, there is no need to scheme against us."

Upon hearing this, Lyra's eyes also dimmed slightly. He grasped Eldrin's hand and said, "If you can break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm during this kalpa tribulation, you must find out where he truly went."

"Mm, I will."

Eldrin nodded and drew Lyra into his embrace.

In the days that followed, Eldrin did not venture elsewhere. While awaiting the commencement of the banquet, he entered seclusion to cultivate his divine abilities.

This time, the divine ability Eldrin cultivated was none other than the Primordial Chaos Unitary Qi.

This Divine Art of Primordial Chaos Qi was forged from the convergence of 5 primordial energies: the Qi of Pure Yang, the Qi of Profound Darkness, the Qi of Vital Essence, the Qi of Chaos Metal, and the Qi of Primordial Earth.

This Primordial Chaos 5 Qi Divine Art was originally only a Mysterious-level divine art. However, after continuous refinement by Eldrin (Person Name), the Primordial Chaos 5 Qi had now advanced to the Half-Step Patriarch level.

To this day, Eldrin had advanced even further, elevating every divine ability to the Patriarch-level.

When the 5 qi merged into the primordial chaos qi, though it had not yet reached the ranks of the supreme-grade chaos divine abilities, it had already taken half a step into that realm.

Now, to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Qi, Eldrin must first refine the 5 Dao Sources 1 by 1, mastering all 5 Dao Lord-level divine abilities.

At this moment, as Eldrin continued his cultivation, he refined the Pure Yang Qi within just a few 1000 years. Thereafter, he methodically summoned the Profound Abyss Qi, the Vital Life Qi, and the Primordial Gold Qi in due succession.

By the time he had cultivated the final wisp of Primordial Earth Qi, he discovered that 30,000 years had already passed.

Boom—

As the last wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi was mastered, Eldrin discovered the 5 energies of primordial chaos within him spinning and merging incessantly, ultimately transforming into a single strand of supreme and sacred Primordial Unity Qi.

This power was immensely formidable; every single wisp of it was enough to strike through the primordial chaos and effortlessly suppress a mighty 7-tribulation ancient immortal.

Half-Step Unparalleled Divine Art.

"The quality of this divine ability should be comparable to that of the Chaos Emperor level, shouldn't it?"

Eldrin murmured softly, sensing the power of the Primordial Chaos Qi. A faint glimmer surfaced in his gaze.

In that moment, Eldrin realized that his Primordial Unity Qi ought to be renamed as Chaos Origin Qi.

For this was a true Chaos Divine Ability, containing a wisp of power from the boundless chaos. Once unleashed, it could suppress and slay even the most arrogant of foes.

Such divine ability had already reached the pinnacle of the 11-Limit Divine Ability Heavenly Pass, standing merely a step away from the 12-Limit True Spirit Divine Ability.

The 12-Circumference True Spirit Divine Art, also known as the Dao Ancestor-level Divine Art, is likewise referred to as the Supreme-level Divine Art or the Primordial Chaos-level Divine Art.

Generally speaking, this was the exclusive domain of Dao Ancestors and Divine Emperors. Across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, aside from the Dao Ancestors themselves, those who could cultivate such divine abilities to the Great Perfection Stage could be counted on 2 hands.

Yet even so, Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly. "With the might of Primordial Chaos Qi, it remains merely an 11-Limit supernatural power."

"I can't believe it. How in the world could 1 possibly master the 12-Limits True Spirit Divine Art?"

Eldrin murmured softly, still utterly clueless about whether he could master the 12-Limit Divine Ability.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to set it aside for now. Yet in the blink of an eye, Eldrin still drew his thoughts back.

He slowly withdrew the Primordial Chaos Qi, then sensed the spiritual power within his body, a faint smile unconsciously gracing his lips.

After this breakthrough, the passive secret art of Primordial Chaos Qi had also undergone a qualitative transformation.

The passive mystic art accompanying the Primordial Chaos Qi, known as the Sublime Art of Chaos 5 Elements Refinement, continuously tempered Eldrin’s magic power day and night, enhancing the quality of his mana.

Now, with the breakthrough in the Primordial Chaos Qi, Eldrin's magical power had finally advanced further, propelling him into the Eleventh Limit in 1 stride—not far from the final Heavenly Barrier of the Twelfth Limit.

By now, Eldrin's cultivation had not only become completely stabilized within the Ancient Immortal Realm, but he had also cultivated all 4 great heavenly gates—magic power, primordial spirit, physical body, and divine abilities—to the Eleventh Limit.

The 4 Eleventh-Circuit foundations brought about a qualitative transformation in Eldrin's strength.

This qualitative transformation enabled him to possess the combat prowess of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal without relying on the Soaring Immortal Zither.

If the Innate Spiritual Treasure Feixian Qin were also taken into account, Eldrin (Person Name) believed his combat prowess would slightly surpass even that of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal.

And this was without even designating the Feixian Qin as his Dao-Proving Supreme Treasure. If he were to choose the Feixian Qin to break through the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Barrier, his combat power would rise yet another notch.

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but feel even more delighted.

"It is time to end my seclusion."

Eldrin did not continue his secluded cultivation, though he had yet to refine the 5 Elements Great Luo Thunder Marrow. With his lifespan nearing its end, he could no longer afford to remain in isolation.

At this thought, Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation and arrived outside the Abyssal Chasm Grotto-Heaven.

At this moment, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had been preparing for the longevity banquet for many years. Seeing Eldrin (Person Name) emerge from seclusion, Chen Qingmeng immediately sought him out and said with concern, "The longevity banquet will commence in 1 1000 years. I have already notified all allied cave heavens across the Vast Azure Immortal Domain."

"However, by then, I'm afraid some people might show up uninvited."

"Oh?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered with subtle understanding. He knew the Great Calamity was approaching, bringing with it the opportunity for rebirth through a 100 tribulations. The Vastsky Immortal Realm had become a mixed bag where dragons and fish jumbled together—undoubtedly, many would seize this chance to test his true strength.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "It matters not. Times have changed. If those people wish to test us, let them try."

"This is a perfect opportunity to discern whether these people are friends or foes, so that when the tribulation arrives, we can settle all accounts at once."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingmeng couldn't help but pause briefly. Over the years, Eldrin (Person Name) had seldom been present in the Qingcang Immortal Realm. Coupled with the strict confidentiality maintained by Lyra (Person Name) and others, even he remained unaware of Eldrin (Person Name)'s true cultivation level and combat prowess.

In his eyes, Eldrin's current cultivation level was merely around the Ninth Heaven of the Celestial Immortal realm, with combat prowess barely reaching the early stage of Ancient Immortal at best.

But Eldrin's current demeanor was beyond his expectations. Observing Eldrin's aura—profound as still waters and towering like a mountain—along with his confidence of 1 who held all control, he felt an involuntary tremor in his heart.

"Could it be that he has already stepped into the realm of the Ancient Immortals?"

Chen Qingmeng’s heart swelled with elation. In his eyes, the Ancient Immortal Great 1 was nothing less than the pillar that held up the heavens of the Qingcang Immortal Realm.

In times past, though the Vast Azure Immortal Realm was extraordinarily prosperous, it possessed only 5 Ancient Immortal Great Elders. Each of these 5 was a figure of Dominator-level cultivation, any 1 of whom could hold sway over the life and death of countless beings across multiple Celestial Domains.

Even with the advent of the 100 Tribulations Rebirth opportunity, where numerous Ancient Immortals have returned to the Qingcang Immortal Realm, the total number of these Ancient Immortals amounts to no more than a few dozen.

If Eldrin could break through to the Ancient Immortal realm, with his foundation of transcending realms in combat, he would undoubtedly rank among the top 10 powerhouses in the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

At this thought, Chen Qingmeng could not contain his ecstasy and declared, "With your word, I am at ease."

"Hmm."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod before rising to his feet. "With the longevity banquet still a 1000 years away," he declared, "I shall take this opportunity to attend to a few matters."

As the words faded, Eldrin stepped out of the Abyssal Return Grotto-Heaven and arrived at the boundary between Yin and Yang—a forbidden realm encircled by a murder of crows.

This forbidden land, teeming with countless shadow crows and fire crows, was none other than the renowned 10-1000 Crows Restricted Zone of the Qingcang Immortal Realm.

"The Forbidden Land of 10 1000 Crows."

After so many years, Eldrin found himself standing once again within the 10-1000 Crows Forbidden Lands, a wave of complex emotions surging in his heart.

I still remember when Eldrin had just broken through to Earth Immortal realm. In order to accumulate merit light, he was compelled to venture twice into the Abyssal Purgatorial Sea to slay evil demons.

And on both occasions when Eldrin journeyed to the Abyssal Prison Sea, he had smuggled his way through this 10-1000 Crow Restricted Zone.

In the midst of this journey, Eldrin had the fortune of meeting Daoist Zixuan, laying the groundwork for their future adventures across the minor cosmos.

Moreover, this was his third visit to the 10-1000 Crow Restricted Zone, where he had also managed to lure and eliminate the master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace, resolving a truly formidable threat.

From his current level of cultivation, those past enemies might seem insignificant now, yet back in those days, it had been an exceedingly perilous situation.

"This 10 1000 Crows Forbidden Land is, to me, a blessed sanctuary."

Recalling the past, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly.

He said no more, merely flicking his sleeve as he ventured deeper into the 10-1000 Crow Forbidden Zone.

For the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, the Myriad Crows Forbidden Land was a place so terrifying that its very mention would turn 1's face pale. Since ancient times, numerous ancient immortals had met their demise within its confines.

With his current level of power, Eldrin (Person Name) had absolutely nothing to fear.

He strode deep into the 10-1000 Crow Forbidden Zone, where the endless shadows of crows and fire crows not only dared not approach, but trembled in sheer terror.

This was the might of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal. Although Eldrin had not yet set foot into the realm of 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals, his combat prowess was no less formidable. A mere forbidden land formed from a broken Innate Spiritual Treasure could hardly pose any threat to him.

"Bzzz—"

As Eldrin (Person Name) advanced, even the forbidden ground's grand dao that had frozen space became utterly ineffective.

The Shadow Crow Forbidden Land trembled violently, unleashing endless patterns of the Great Dao to block Eldrin's advance. Yet in the end, it could only watch helplessly as Eldrin reached the core of the forbidden ground.

At the heart of the 10-1000 Crow Forbidden Zone lay an ancient pot riddled with cracks, currently suppressed by the Great Dao of the Qingcang Celestial Realm.

Jade Crow Vessel.

Eldrin murmured softly, casually drawing the tattered Shadow Crow Vessel into his hand.

The Shadow Crow Pot trembled violently, yet it was effortlessly suppressed by Eldrin (Person Name) with chaotic mists, unable to move in the slightest.

After suppressing the Innate Shadow Crow Jar, Eldrin reached deeper into the Fire Crow Restricted Zone and retrieved a crimson pot riddled with cracks.

Primordial Fire Crow Gourd (Magic Treasure).

Gazing at the 2 treasure pots in his hands, Eldrin performed a quick calculation with his fingers and instantly understood the origins of these artifacts.

It turned out that this treasure was an innate spiritual treasure once possessed by an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal from the Outer Realms during the final years of the Primordial Era.

In that primordial era, the Primal Immortal Realm was embroiled in a cataclysmic war against an unfathomable ancient domain hidden deep within the chaos. This foreign realm appeared even more formidable than the Primal Immortal Realm itself, with inconceivably powerful enemies tearing through the chaotic void to launch their assault.

The mighty god Qing Cang possessed cultivation at the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. As 1 of the primeval divine court's great deities, he battled these extradimensional foes and successively slew several Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The master of this Myriad Crows Vessel was but an obscure Ancient Immortal who had weathered 8 heavenly tribulations. He joined the siege against the Great God Qingcang alongside seniors of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal tier.

Yet he was casually suppressed and slain by the Supreme Deity Qingcang. Even his Primordial Spirit Treasure was shattered into fragments, left within the Qingcang Immortal Realm to await restoration.

But the enemies in that battle were far too powerful. Even the Divine Emperor of Primordial Beginnings and the Divine Emperor of Celestial Purity were gravely wounded and forced into slumber. How could the Great Deity Qingcang possibly withstand them?

He slew Great Luo Golden Immortals 1 after another, drawing the attention of an indescribable powerhouse from the outer realm.

That was an indescribable supreme powerhouse. Through the boundless chaos, It swung a single swordstroke—a cataclysmic wave of sword qi that tore apart the chasm of primordial chaos, slaying the Great Deity Qing Cang within the endless void.

Even more terrifying, this sword strike descended along the river of time, slaying the great god Qing Cang(Person Name) again and again.

"Was it a Primordial Emperor, or perhaps a figure on the level of a Chaos Celestial Emperor who made a move?"

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a trace of shock coloring his expression.

Even a supreme being as mighty as God Qingcang, who single-handedly vanquished several Great Luo Golden Immortals, was slain by a single swordstroke across the boundless Chaotic Abyss. This proves there are always greater heights beyond heights, and realms beyond realms.

Eldrin dared not dwell on it further, quickly suppressing his thoughts as he turned his gaze to the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Vessel in his hand, a flicker of delight crossing his expression.

"The damage was too severe, but fortunately, it's almost restored."

It turned out that during that great battle of yesteryear, the Yin-Yang Myriad Crow Vessel had suffered excessive damage and was subsequently placed by the great deity Qing Cang at the convergence of Yin and Yang to recuperate.

Now, after enduring countless kalpas of time, it has managed to recover most of its strength, nurtured by the essence of the Azure Vast Immortal Realm.

Next, if a Grand Luo-level artificer were to intervene and suitable materials could be found to integrate into it, there would still be a high likelihood of restoring it.

"In my hands, I possess a Great Luo Odd Treasure—the Profound Yang Divine Iron. If I can obtain a Profound Yin Odd Treasure, I can attempt to restore it."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, already intending to store this treasure away.

But just at that moment, Eldrin noticed the heavens and earth darkening as an intangible will surged forth.

"This treasure is far too damaged. I have nurtured it through countless kalpas before restoring it to its current state. You cannot take it so lightly."
