Chapter 2030 : Forging the Divine Runes of Chaos

Eldrin Chen channeled the Chaos Great Dao Divine Chains [divine chains embodying the supreme principles of primordial chaos], consuming the True Spirit Imprint [the fundamental spiritual signature of a being or concept] with an insatiable hunger. He did not cease until even the most minute imprint of Laws [the fundamental rules governing reality and cultivation] had been completely fused and assimilated by the True Spirit Imprint.

"This is the third time I have shattered my limits since breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a supreme realm of cultivation where one commands the power of primordial chaos]."

When everything was finally complete, Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a faint smile of satisfaction flickering in the depths of his eyes.

He drew a slow, deep breath, then fully retracted the Chaos Great Dao Divine Chains. Only then did he merge the remaining True Spirit [the purest essence of one's spiritual foundation] into his physical body, transforming it into a blank True Spirit Divine Runes [divine runes inscribed upon the true spirit, granting immense power].

"*Hummm—*"

After forging this blank True Spirit Divine Runes, Eldrin Chen felt the power of his fleshly body surge once more. In a fleeting moment of transcendence, he nearly shattered through a certain ultimate barrier.

Eldrin Chen calmly assessed his gains, discovering that the strength of his physical form had increased by approximately eighty percent.

At this moment, the might of Eldrin Chen's physical body had been amplified a full sixteenfold by the True Spirit Divine Runes.

"The eighth True Spirit Divine Runes."

"With my physical strength alone, I can now contend with an Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [an Emperor Lord who has reached the eighth layer of the Primordial Unity realm]."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, realizing that the power of his physical body had, without his conscious notice, already surpassed the combined combat strength of all his other foundational pillars.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen had cultivated the True Spirit Divine Ability Abyssal Wheel, and possessed the Root Origin Treasure to absorb the repulsive forces emanating from his various foundational pillars. Consequently, no adverse effects of foundational imbalance had manifested.

"The seventh True Spirit Divine Runes [mystical patterns that embody the power of a True Spirit], it is time to master it completely."

With this thought, Eldrin Chen immediately fused the Chaos Great Dao [the supreme principle of primordial chaos] into the seventh set of True Spirit Divine Runes, causing it to undergo a complete metamorphosis into the Chaos True Spirit Divine Runes.

"Hmm—"

The moment the Chaos Divine Rune was perfected, Eldrin Chen felt a sudden, violent surge of power erupt within him.

Among the eight True Spirit Divine Runes within his body, the Blank Divine Rune occupied a solitary corner, while the Abyssal Divine Rune lay profound and unfathomable.

The remaining divine runes—Pure Yang, Profound Nether, Source Earth, Life, and Chaos Metal—all revolved around the Chaos Divine Rune, coalescing into a single, magnificent Chaos Five Elements Grand Formation [a grand mystical formation harnessing the chaotic power of the five elements].

"The power of this Chaos Divine Rune... it is..."

"Amplification?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, swiftly grasping the unique nature of the Chaos Divine Rune [a supreme divine pattern embodying the power of primordial chaos].

Among the four Ultimate Divine Runes [the pinnacle divine patterns] of the Sainthood through the Flesh [a cultivation path focused on achieving divinity through physical perfection] lineage, the Destruction Divine Runes [divine patterns of utter annihilation] represent the ultimate Slaughter [the divine principle of carnage] pattern, while the Abyssal Divine Rune [the divine pattern of the unfathomable depths] is the ultimate defensive pattern.

The Space-Time Divine Runes [divine patterns governing space and time] excel in wielding Space-Time [the fundamental forces of spatial dimensions and temporal flow] power, making them the supreme patterns for speed and esoteric manipulation.

As for the Chaos Divine Rune, it is the ultimate auxiliary pattern. It not only contains immensely potent Primordial Source Power [the foundational energy from which all things originate], but it can also greatly amplify the power of other divine patterns.

Now, under the amplification of the Chaos Divine Rune, the power of these five divine patterns—Pure Yang [the principle of unblemished solar essence], Profound Nether [the principle of deep, mysterious darkness], Source Earth [the principle of the foundational earth], Life [the divine principle of vitality], and Chaos Metal [the principle of metallic chaos]—has surged dramatically. Each now possesses power nearly equivalent to half an Ultimate Divine Rune.

Originally, these Five True Spirit Divine Runes [a set of five divine patterns aligned with true spiritual essences] were considered merely superior among the True Spirit Divine Runes [divine patterns aligned with true spiritual essences]. Eldrin Chen cultivated them primarily because they resonated more deeply with his own nature.

Such superior True Spirit Divine Runes should, in theory, be a notch weaker in power compared to top-tier patterns like Mana Immunity [a divine pattern granting immunity to magical energy] or Indestructible Golden Body [a divine pattern bestowing an unbreakable golden physique].

Yet, bolstered by the Chaos Divine Rune, the power of the Five True Spirit Divine Runes has now surpassed that of these top-tier divine patterns, undergoing a monumental transformation in potency.

Furthermore, Eldrin Chen's Five True Spirit Divine Runes harmonize perfectly with one another, allowing them to achieve a synergistic effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

"The Chaos Divine Rune... its power truly defies the heavens," he whispered in awe.

"From this perspective, even relying solely on my physical body's strength, my combat prowess should not be considered weak among those at the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord level."

Eldrin Chen's thoughts flickered, and he turned his gaze to the Abyssal Divine Rune [a supreme defensive divine ability derived from the Dao of the Abyss]. He discovered, however, that the Abyssal Divine Rune had not been amplified by the Chaos Divine Rune [a supreme divine ability born from the foundational Chaos Dao].

This brought a tinge of regret to Eldrin Chen. If the Abyssal Divine Rune could have been enhanced by the Chaos Divine Rune, then his physical defense would likely be unrivaled under the heavens.

At that point, even without the Indestructible Battle Armor [an enchanted armor of legendary durability], he would fear no enemy at the Great Emperor [a supreme cultivation realm] level.

Of course, Eldrin Chen had long anticipated that the Abyssal Divine Rune could not be amplified by the Chaos Divine Rune.

After all, the Abyssal Great Dao [the supreme Dao of the Primordial Abyss] is part of the Primordial End Great Dao [the foundational Dao of Primordial Endings], a peerless Great Dao on the same level as the Chaos Divine Rune. For it to be amplified would be far too heaven-defying.

"The Chaos Divine Rune... it is truly that heaven-defying."

"If one were to cultivate all eight supreme True Spirit Divine Runes [divine runes representing the power of primordial true spirits], amplify them with the Chaos Divine Rune, use them to form the Nine True Spirit Divine Forms [a supreme divine transformation technique], and then fuse them all into one... what manner of heaven-defying existence would that be?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of awe surfacing in the depths of his eyes.

If such a being truly existed, Eldrin Chen had no doubt they would possess the strength to face the Chaos Celestial Emperor [the supreme sovereign of the Chaos Realm] head-on.

Eldrin Chen contemplated his two True Spirit Divine Runes. The Chaos Divine Rune could amplify the power of the eight divine runes, while the Abyssal Divine Rune could nullify attacks from cultivators of the same realm. How utterly heaven-defying, then, must the other two divine runes be?

It was foreseeable that mastering even one of these four Ultimate Divine Rune would allow one to dominate the Chaos Realm with few, if any, equals.

"No wonder the rumors have always persisted," he mused, "that the four Ultimate Divine Rune represent a heaven-defying fortune. Mastering just one is said to make one peerless within the Chaos Realm."

"If the Opportunity ever arises, I must also attempt to comprehend the Space-Time Divine Runes and the Destruction Divine Runes."

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Eldrin Chen once again assessed his current state.

After evaluating his capabilities, he realized that, setting aside his Innate Supreme Treasure, his physical combat prowess now constituted approximately seventy percent of his total strength.

All other foundations—such as his comprehension of the Great Dao, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], and his mana reserves—combined likely accounted for only the remaining thirty percent.

"It seems," he concluded, "that until I step into the Second Chaos Realm, my physical power will remain my most formidable asset."

Eldrin Chen rose to his feet. He then attempted to channel power into the Abyssal Pearl once more. He discovered that, following the qualitative transformation of his Chaos Limitless Great Dao, he could now unleash the Abyssal Pearl's full, devastating might.

With this realization firm in his mind, he hesitated no longer and emerged from his Seclusion Chamber.

Upon exiting the Seclusion Chamber, Eldrin Chen immediately summoned the five Emperor Lords under his command, including Liora, the Emperor Lord and Immortal Desolation Emperor.

After years of secluded cultivation, everyone's cultivation base had improved to varying degrees.

Among them, Immortal Desolation Emperor had broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm [the eighth major stage within the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord cultivation realm], elevating his combat power to an unrivaled level within that realm.

Without even activating his Forbidden Divine Ability, Immortal Desolation Emperor could now contend against three opponents of the same cultivation level simultaneously.

Unfortunately, the gap between the Eighth Layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm and the Great Emperor realm was vast. His normal combat power still could not touch the domain of a Great Emperor, amounting to, at most, a fraction of that level of might.

Furthermore, Liora, the Emperor Lord had also broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm. Having achieved this with a Three True Spirit Foundations [a supreme cultivation foundation formed by condensing three true spiritual cores], her combat power instantly rose to the pinnacle of that layer.

With such strength, Liora, the Emperor Lord could hold her own against two ordinary Seventh Layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm cultivators at once.

Among the others, Diurnal Extinction Desolation Emperor's strength had not increased significantly, while Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor had further consolidated his cultivation base.

Sword Profound Emperor Lord, having recently broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm, had received ample resources as one of Eldrin Chen's Divine Generals, and his cultivation had also seen a slight improvement.

"Satisfactory," Eldrin Chen remarked.

Eldrin Chen cast a measured glance over the group and spoke, "Your cultivation bases have all progressed. It seems the time has come to move against the Sword Abyss Realm Sea."

Hearing this, smiles touched the lips of everyone present.

Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord immediately inquired, "For this campaign, Emperor Lord, do you have a strategy in mind?"

"We will still defeat them one by one," he replied. "First, we subdue those Desolation Emperor [powerful rulers of the Desolate Tribe], then deal with Sword Abyss Sacred Lord and the Distant Heaven Sword Emperor."

Eldrin Chen spoke deliberately, then added, "Stand ready for battle. I will first remove those troublesome Desolation Emperor."

With those words, Eldrin Chen departed from the Great Wilderness Primordial Domain and surged toward the Sword Abyss Realm Sea to begin his assault.

This time, Eldrin Chen employed his proven method once more. He continued to suppress Desolation Emperor within the Sword Abyss Realm Sea, constantly capturing Desolate Tribe Emperor Lord and bringing them back to the Great Desolate Ancient Realm for conversion [a process of spiritual purification and realignment].

With his current power, even if the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth, possessing supreme power], it would struggle to pierce the dual defenses of his Indestructible Battle Armor and the Abyssal Divine Rune [a divine protective technique].

His strength vastly increased, Eldrin Chen defiantly withstood the pursuit of the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord and managed to suppress over a dozen Desolation Emperor in a single foray.

After repeating this process several times, the Desolate Tribe of Grand Luo [a supreme cultivation realm] rank and above within the Sword Abyss Realm Sea were completely swept clean by Eldrin Chen.

After completing all these preparations, Eldrin Chen took a moment to restore his cultivation. He then summoned the five Emperor Lords [supreme rulers in the cultivation world, often at the peak of power] and set off toward the Sword Abyss Realm Sea.

Upon arriving at the Sword Abyss Realm Sea, Eldrin Chen turned to those beside him, his expression grave. "The Sword Abyss Sacred Lord wields the Ancient Sword of the Vast Abyss [an ancient divine sword of immense, abyssal power]," he stated solemnly. "His strength is comparable to that of a Great Emperor [a supreme cultivation realm, one of the highest attainable levels of power]."

"Even a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [an Emperor Lord who has reached the seventh layer of the Primordial Unity realm] could be grievously wounded in an instant if they faced him directly."

"Apart from myself and the Immortal Emperor Lord, the rest of you must be extremely cautious. Do not engage him in a frontal confrontation."

Upon hearing this, a shadow of solemnity fell over the group.

Seeing their reaction, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before speaking again. "I will hold off the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord. You all should first deal with the Distant Heaven Sword Emperor and see if you can subdue him."

"Understood."

The others voiced no objection to this plan.

With that, Eldrin Chen acted decisively. Mounting the Primordial Chaos Heaven Halberd [a divine halberd born from the primordial chaos of creation], he surged forward, plunging into the depths of the Sword Abyss Realm Sea.

*Clang—!*

At the very moment Eldrin Chen surged into the Sword Abyss Realm Sea, a clear, piercing sword cry tore through the firmament, cleaving towards him.

Eldrin Chen looked up to see, at the very edge of the Chaos, a figure of peerless grace and bearing standing aloft in the void.

He held a massive sword, neither stone nor iron, in his grasp. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a devastating slash.

The sword energy surged forth like an endless, profound abyss. With that single stroke, countless Great Dao Divine Chain [cosmic chains embodying fundamental principles] roared forth, converging into a vast ocean composed entirely of the Sword Great Dao [the supreme principle of the Sword Path].

"Going all out from the very start?"

A flicker passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes. The Abyssal Pearl [a supreme treasure of devouring power] floated gently in his palm, emanating a force that could swallow the heavens and devour the earth, drawing in and consuming the entire boundless ocean of abyssal sword energy.

Now, with his combat power having reached the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, and able to unleash the Abyssal Pearl's full might, he finally possessed the strength to face the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord directly.

"Hmph—"

Seeing Eldrin Chen block his full-force strike, the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord pressed his attack. The boundless ocean of abyssal sword energy continuously transformed, countless sword energies roaring forth, inundating the entire vast expanse of the Realm Sea.

Simultaneously, from another direction, the Distant Heaven Sword Emperor also tore through the void to attack, instantly manifesting ten thousand illusory sword phantoms that interlaced and shot forward.

"It is the Distant Heaven Sword Slash [a legendary sword technique said to be capable of cleaving the heavens themselves]! Do not let him intervene!"

Sword Profound Emperor Lord acted in an instant, manifesting a storm of ten thousand interweaving sword energies that surged forth to clash with his own sect's senior uncle.

Immortal Desolation Emperor, Liora, the Emperor Lord, Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor, and Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord also moved as one, unleashing their power to suppress Distant Heaven Sword Emperor.

As the Deputy Hall Master of the Sword Abyss Immortal Palace [a celestial palace renowned for its peerless sword cultivators], Distant Heaven Sword Emperor was by no means weak among those in the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm [the penultimate stage of power for an Emperor Lord, where one's Primordial Chaos energy nears its peak].

Yet now, besieged by three opponents at the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [a high-tier realm where an Emperor Lord's Primordial Unity energy is profoundly consolidated] and one at the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [a realm just one step from the peak of Primordial Unity power], he quickly found himself at an absolute disadvantage.

In merely a thousand exchanges, he was driven back step by step, forced into a desperate struggle for survival.

"All of you shall perish!"

Witnessing Distant Heaven Sword Emperor on the verge of being overwhelmed, Sword Abyss Sacred Lord could no longer restrain himself.

With a furious roar, he shot into the heavens. Instantly, the Ancient Sword of the Vast Abyss [a legendary divine sword of immense and ancient power] in his hand trembled violently.

In response, countless formation patterns within the Sword Abyss Realm Sea [the vast, sword-infused dimensional sea surrounding the Sword Abyss Immortal Palace] ignited with brilliant light. An endless tide of sword energy surged upward, converging upon Sword Abyss Sacred Lord and merging with his being to form a peerless Annihilating Formation [a formation of ultimate destructive power, designed to obliterate all within its scope].

"Disaster! It is the Vast Abyss Sword Formation!"

Sword Profound Emperor Lord sensed the impending danger and immediately spoke, "Flee, now! The Vast Abyss Sword Formation is the supreme killing formation of the Sword Abyss Immortal Palace. Once activated, it is potent enough to annihilate even a Great Emperor."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly. In the space of a single breath, he had already deduced the profound mysteries of this formation.

It turned out this Vast Abyss Sword Formation was the former guardian grand formation of the Sword Abyss Immortal Palace. Anchored by the Ancient Sword of the Vast Abyss and personally activated by the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord, it could unleash power rivaling that of an invincible Great Emperor.

Such a lethal formation had slumbered for countless eons. They had believed it long since defunct, never imagining it could still be roused to action.

"You all, go."

Realizing the difficulty of subduing the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord, Eldrin Chen decisively ordered the others to retreat. He then soared into the sky astride the Abyssal Pearl, drawing the suppressed Distant Heaven Sword Emperor into the treasure's interior space.

As soon as this was done, the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord arrived, riding upon endless waves of sword energy that crashed down upon Eldrin Chen's Indestructible Battle Armor.

"Hmph—"

Enduring a full-force strike comparable to an invincible Great Emperor left Eldrin Chen's face paling slightly. A trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

He drew a deep breath, casting a final, profound glance at Sword Abyss Sacred Lord. In the end, he suppressed the impulse to unleash his Forbidden Divine Ability for a desperate gamble. Instead, he turned and spurred the Abyssal Pearl into motion, fleeing the Sword Abyss Realm Sea.

"Hah—"

Upon their returned to the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, the group's complexions remained slightly pale.

The Sword Abyss Sacred Lord, commanding that slaughter formation, had been truly terrifying. With combat power rivaling an invincible Great Emperor, even if Eldrin Chen and Immortal Desolation Emperor had resorted to their Forbidden Divine Ability, they likely would have suffered grievous losses.

Liora, the Emperor Lord was also seriously wounded, yet she couldn't help but look at Eldrin Chen and ask, "How are your injuries?"

"It's nothing, merely minor wounds," he replied.

Eldrin Chen distributed a batch of elixirs [spiritual pills used for healing and cultivation] to the group, then spoke, "I never imagined the Sword Abyss Realm Sea concealed a Great Emperor Slaughter Formation."

"It seems subduing it will be exceedingly difficult."

Upon hearing this, bitter smiles surfaced on everyone's faces.

Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor frowned slightly, turning to Sword Profound Emperor Lord to ask, "Why did you not inform us of something so crucial?"

Seeing this, Sword Profound Emperor Lord could not help but speak, "When the Sword Abyss Realm Sea was being corroded all those years ago, we all sealed our Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] and subsequently fell into deep slumber."

"I know little about this Great Emperor Slaughter Formation either. It was likely repaired later by someone who awoke."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen also showed a glimmer of understanding.

Faced with the erosion of the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea, the vast majority of Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch would seal their Sea of Consciousness and their Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] to slow the time until they were completely corrupted.

Generally speaking, a mid-stage Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch could originally only withstand the erosion of the Desolate Decay Power for several dozen Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles].

However, by sealing their Sea of Consciousness and Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], this time could be delayed to over ten thousand Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles].

As for those at the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm, once they sealed their Sea of Consciousness, they could even postpone the erosion of their consciousness for tens of thousands, or even one hundred thousand Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles].

Precisely because of this, these Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch chose to seal their consciousness after being corroded by the Desolate Decay Power.

It was perfectly reasonable that Sword Profound Emperor Lord, having sealed his Sea of Consciousness earlier, would be unaware of subsequent events.

Seeing this, Immortal Desolation Emperor spoke up, "If my conjecture is correct, it was likely Sword Abyss Sacred Lord who, fearing the Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth with supreme power] might be stolen, awoke midway and repaired the Formation [a magical array or defensive construct]."

"That complicates matters."

Liora, the Emperor Lord let out a soft sigh before speaking. "If that is the case, does it not mean we have no way to conquer the Sword Abyss Realm Sea?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, then finally spoke. "Perhaps it is not entirely impossible."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up faintly, and their gazes turned towards Eldrin Chen.

Under their collective gaze, Eldrin Chen continued. "The Sword Abyss Realm Sea is indeed perilous, but we simply need to lure the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord out."

"That may not be easy."

Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord shook his head repeatedly. "The Sword Abyss Sacred Lord possesses exceedingly high cultivation. Even though he has been corroded by the Desolate Decay Power, he retains intelligence comparable to that of a youth."

"It is merely that his consciousness, tainted by the Desolate Decay Power, has become more cruel and savage."

"With his intellect, he would not rashly leave the Sword Abyss Realm Sea."

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly, then smiled. "For the Chaos Desolate Tribe, what is their greatest desire?"

"That which you desire?"

Sword Profound Desolation Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and then he spoke: "Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] treasures, or countless sentient beings possessing intelligence."

"And also, a tranquil and peaceful Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke: "What if, beyond the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, I were to establish one hundred and eight Immortal Domain [realms of immortal power and order] to suppress the turbulent Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea?"

"Within these ancient realms, we place supreme soul-nourishing treasures, along with countless newly born intelligent lifeforms. What then?"

"Furthermore, we completely isolate and conceal the aura of the Human Soul Scripture. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all those present gleamed with a faint light of understanding.

Currently, within the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, there exists the supreme soul treasure, the Earth Soul Fruit Tree, and the innumerable Descendants of the Great Desolate.

These are treasures coveted beyond measure by the Desolate Tribe. Yet, the powerful Desolate Tribe beings of the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm never actively assault the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

The fundamental reason for this is their fear of the power held within the Human Soul Scripture.

Without the Human Soul Scripture [a supreme scripture said to contain the secrets of the human soul's potential], that Sword Abyss Sacred Lord would have no reason to fear Eldrin Chen, and would undoubtedly be unable to suppress its primal instincts, coming to hunt.

Thinking of this, Liora, the Emperor Lord spoke: "That is indeed a sound strategy. However, the Human Soul Scripture within this Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea [a primordial, chaotic expanse of desolate cosmic waters] is like a vast, radiant beacon of Grand Yang [the supreme, active, and luminous principle of cosmic energy]."

"Concealing it will likely prove no simple task."

"This matter, I can accomplish. You need not worry."

Thus spoke Eldrin Chen, adding, "But before the Human Soul Scripture can be retrieved, an Immortal Domain [a realm forged and governed by an immortal's will and power] must first be established to suppress the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea."

"Henceforth, I ask for your aid in lending me your strength."

Upon hearing this, the five Emperor Lord [a title for supreme rulers who have attained the Emperor realm of cultivation] all wore expressions of solemn gravity.

In the time that followed, everyone began preparations for the establishment of the Immortal Domain.

Eldrin Chen first imparted the method for forging an Immortal Domain to the others, then set them to work on refining the necessary Heavenly Dao Source Artifact [an artifact that serves as the foundational core, drawing power from the Heavenly Dao] and the Immortal Domain Supreme Treasure [the ultimate treasure that anchors and governs an Immortal Domain].
