Chapter 1891 : Chaotic Mud

With those final words, Eldrin said no more.

He was the first to step into the great hall, and the others followed suit. Yet upon glimpsing the scene within, their expressions froze in stunned bewilderment.

Within the grand hall stood 12 violet-gold jade pillars, each sealed with a unique treasure.

Heavenly Cycle Wheel, Heavenly Tribulation Mirror, Dao Calamity Seal, Celestial Unity True Water, Nether Soul Divine Fruit...

Gazing upon these treasures, You Wu couldn't help but murmur softly, a look of ecstasy spreading across her face.

These treasures all radiated an innate indestructible light, each being at least a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure or an artifact of equivalent rarity. Any single 1 of them would be enough to make numerous Great Perfected Golden Immortals covetous.

Yet now there were a full 12 of them—how could they not be stirred?

At that very moment, a gentle voice resonated through the grand hall: "Those who enter these halls are destined. You may each claim 1 treasure borne by the Violet Firmament Jade Pillars."

Hearing this, everyone felt a flicker of delight and immediately began collecting the treasures.

Youwu immediately claimed the Nether Soul Divine Fruit. As a top-grade innate divine herb, once refined, it could greatly enhance her cultivation foundation and even grant a slight chance to glimpse the True Spirit Primordial Soul.

Of course, unless 1 possessed truly heaven-defying treasures, the attainment of the True Spirit Primordial Soul ultimately depended more on 1's own foundation and destiny.

The others also began retrieving their treasures 1 after another. The Samsara Body claimed a portion of Primordial Yellow Mother Gold, Lulu took away the 9-Colored Immortal Jade, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) obtained a 9-Calamity Divine Fruit, while Lyra (Person Name) acquired a drop of Heavenly Unity True Water.

Eldrin then retrieved from within it a rare treasure—Chaotic 5-Colored Copper.

Among these treasures, the Profound Yellow Mother Gold and the Chaos 5-Colored Copper are both materials for artifact forging, while the 9 Calamity Divine Fruit is a treasure that can help ancient immortal powerhouses strengthen their foundations. Once consumed, it grants the 9 Tribulation Dao Fruits, significantly increasing the hope of breaking through to the Great Perfection Realm.

There was no need to elaborate on the Celestial Unity True Water—it was 1 of the 5 Great Daos cultivated by Lyra (Person Name), representing the water-attribute Dao. If fully refined, this essence could significantly advance Lyra (Person Name)'s foundational cultivation.

Everyone present received a share of the unparalleled treasure, and most of them revealed expressions of ecstatic delight.

Yet Eldrin frowned slightly, feeling that the opportunity left by the Purple Immortal Lord should not end here. After all, while a top-grade innate spiritual treasure was precious, it could hardly stir the hearts of so many direct descendants of the Heavenly Emperors.

"Bzzzt—"

But at that very moment, the great hall trembled slightly as a violet light enveloped both Youwu and Lulu, teleporting them away.

Only Eldrin (Person Name), the Reincarnation Body, along with Lyra (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) remained within the grand hall.

But lo, the 12 Violet Heaven Pillars within the great hall emanated a radiant light, tearing open a void in the fabric of spacetime. Then, a platform wreathed in chaotic mists materialized at the center of the hall.

Eldrin looked up and saw that at the center of the chaotic mist, upon a jade platform carved from primordial chaos jade, several treasures of varying forms were placed.

There were a total of 3 treasures. On the left was an immensely profound and dense chaotic energy flow; in the middle lay a clump of mud brimming with primordial chaos qi; and to the right rested a moon-white immortal fruit.

"This is..."

Seraphina Qu's heart jolted with alarm, a trace of terror flashing across her expression.

Eldrin's eyes abruptly sharpened, and within a heartbeat he had recognized the origins of 2 of these sacred artifacts.

Primordial Chaos Qi, Primordial Chaos Yin Fruit…

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, "Among these 3 treasures, the chaotic qi on the left is the supreme treasure coveted by countless Chaos Emperors and even Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages—the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi (Chaos Beginning Qi)."

To the right lies an object known as the 'Chaos Lunar Fruit,' a precious fruit borne from the Chaos Lunar Divine Tree, a manifestation of the Chaos Spiritual Root.

Legend has it that ever since the fall of the Lunar Emperor in the late Primordial Era, the Chaos Spiritual Root that accompanied his birth—the Divine Lunar Tree—had vanished. Who could have imagined we would witness the fruit of this very tree here today.

At this thought, Lyra (Person Name) was utterly exhilarated. Once she consumed this Chaos Lunar Fruit (Spiritual Fruit), it would undoubtedly enhance the potential of her Lunar Immortal Body (Cultivation Physique), allowing her to cultivate a True Spirit Body (Cultivation Physique).

Even when cultivating to the level of a Dao Ancestor or Immortal Sage, Lyra (Person Name) would encounter no bottlenecks in her cultivation.

As for that final clump of chaotic mud, Eldrin could not even deduce its true origins. He only knew it was called 'Chaotic Mud,' possessing the wondrous ability to contain all things, along with a near-limitless malleability.

Primordial Chaos Yin Fruit, Primordial Chaos Genesis Qi, Primordial Chaos Mud.

Eldrin murmured, his face revealing an expression of utter astonishment.

As far as he knew, among the Chaos Treasures, generally speaking, the shorter the name, the more ancient and powerful it represented.

For instance, the Chaos Supreme Treasure ‘Chaos Cauldron’—it is the only Chaos treasure that can bear the name ‘Cauldron,’ signifying that throughout the Chaos, no other cauldron could ever rival its stature.

If a Chaos Fan, Chaos Sword, Chaos Cauldron, Chaos Pearl, and other such treasures emerged within the primordial chaos, there was no doubt they would be supreme Chaos Divine Artifacts.

For daring to bear such a name signified that within the chaos, it stood as the foremost existence among all treasures of its kind.

This lump of mud before his eyes was known as Chaos Mud. Its value was so profound that even Eldrin (Person Name) could not fathom its true worth—how could 1 not be astounded?

"Even if it's not a Chaos Supreme Treasure, it remains a top-tier Chaos Marvel."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a flicker of astonishment rising in his eyes.

He glanced at the assembled crowd and finally took a deep breath before speaking. "3 portions of Chaos Marvels—it seems all of Patriarch Zi’s true legacy lies here."

Lyra's expression shifted slightly as she spoke, "3 portions of rare treasures—it seems they were all reserved for us."

"Could it be that Elder Zi had long foreseen our arrival today?"

"It's hard to say."

Eldrin shook his head, then with a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the treasure. To his surprise, only the clump of Primordial Chaos Mud flew into his hand.

2 other treasures emitted a wondrous glow, and among them, the Chaos Yin Fruit fell into Lyra's hands.

And that Primordial Chaos Qi actually chose Seraphina Qu (Person Name) of its own accord, flying directly into her body and merging with her.

Eldrin immediately grasped the situation and asked Seraphina Qu, "How are you holding up?"

Seraphina Qu lowered her gaze in contemplation, sensing the changes within herself. Only after a long while did she open her eyes and speak. "The Primordial Chaos Primordial Qi has merged with my physical form. It will gradually and imperceptibly enhance my foundation."

"1 day, when it completely merges with me, my foundation will transform into the Chaos 9-Colored Clam."

Lyra (Person Name) was utterly astonished, a faint trace of envy flashing in her eyes.

The Chaos 9-Colored Clam is the foundation of the Primordial Chaos Ancestral God. Such a being possesses the potential to attain the Dao and become a Chaos Heavenly Emperor. In the future, as long as it cultivates every realm to its absolute limit, the likelihood of achieving the state of Chaos Heavenly Emperor is immense.

Most crucially, she had already assimilated the Primordial Chaos Qi, eliminating the need to refine it when breaking through to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor realm in the future.

At this thought, Lyra said with envy, "It seems that this time, Seraphina Qu's opportunity is second only to yours, my husband."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Madam, there's no need to overthink this. In my opinion, while the Chaos Foundation is remarkable, it ultimately carries significant limitations."

"Yet a mortal physique attaining the Dao holds boundless possibilities instead."

Lyra rolled her eyes at Eldrin and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, each blessed with peerless talent since time immemorial?"

Eldrin smiled faintly, storing away the Chaos Mud before turning his gaze to the jade platform before him. "3 complete portions of Chaos marvels," he remarked. "I imagine even for the Chaos Celestial Emperor, these would be considered treasures of incalculable worth."

"Senior Zi left us such a precious treasure, most likely because she divined something."

"Still, I find myself curious. Since Elder Zi left us these treasures, why did she not leave behind any instructions?"

Eldrin murmured under his breath, a lingering sense of peculiarity tugging at his thoughts.

Logically speaking, when a senior leaves such a rare treasure for a destined individual, it usually comes with certain conditions.

For instance, the esteemed Elder Ziyie of the past left various rare treasures for Eldrin (Person Name), the destined 1, in hopes that should this chosen individual ever attain the Great Dao of the Grand Luo, they would extend a hand to guide him back from the cycle of reincarnation, allowing him to once again tread the path of cultivation.

Yet, the Purple Immortal had only left behind treasures without any last words or demands, which struck Eldrin as somewhat peculiar.

"Is it that you cannot, or are you deliberately refusing to communicate with me?"

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then withdrew his thoughts a moment later.

Rising to his feet, he cupped his hands in a respectful salute toward the main hall and finally declared, "Regardless of all else, I shall remember today's kindness in my heart."

The other 2 also rose and bowed, paying their respects reverently toward the center of the grand hall.

The 3 of them obtained their treasures and, without further discussion, immediately rose and departed from the grand hall.

The Reincarnation Body, however, hoisted the jade platform carved from Chaos Stone and stored it within its own ancient bell.

Eldrin sensed that this Chaos Jade Platform, capable of bearing 3 Chaos Treasures, was undoubtedly a rare supreme treasure. Thus, he entrusted it to his Reincarnation Body to later refine into his Natal Ancient Bell.

Boom—

Just as the 3 of them stepped out of the great hall, they were instantly enveloped by a violet light and carried away through the air.

It was only then that Eldrin glanced around and realized that Lulu and Youwu seemed to have flown out of the grand hall simultaneously with them, landing together upon the earth.

"This..."

Eldrin felt a slight tremor in his heart and immediately glanced at Lyra and Seraphina Qu, both of whom now wore expressions of astonishment.

In an instant, Eldrin understood the entire sequence of events.

It turned out that the moment Lulu and Youwu were teleported away by the violet light, they had already entered different temporal streams. Though they had remained in the great hall for what felt like an extended period, they emerged at the exact same moment as Youwu.

Thus, neither Eldrin nor the Sevencolor Immortal Deer were aware that they had spent some time alone in the great hall, much less that they had obtained 3 Chaos Treasures.

This time, the 3 Chaos Treasures they obtained were far too precious. Even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor would likely move against them if he learned of this.

At present, due to the differing flow of time they had experienced, both Lulu and Youwu believed they had entered and exited the violet hall simultaneously. Even if the Divine Emperor himself were to perform a soul search, he would likely uncover nothing.

At this thought, Eldrin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He turned to gaze at the grand hall and spoke, "Within this hall lie 12 treasures, yet each of us may only claim 1. The rest shall await others destined to find them."

Youwu nodded, then spoke, "It seems the true opportunity for the Violet Immortal isn't here. Let's go and check elsewhere."

"Very well."

Eldrin (Person Name) also nodded and immediately led the group to continue searching for Zi Tian (Place Name).

As they continued their relentless search, they finally uncovered the profound mystery of the Violet Heaven—within its expanse stood 30-6 identical grand halls.

Within these grand halls were displayed all manner of rare treasures and divine artifacts. Any predestined individual who set foot inside would receive at least 1 rare treasure.

These rare treasures were, at the very least, lower-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures or divine artifacts, among which were many mid-grade and even upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

What's more, someone obtained the 9 Heavens Qianqing Fan, 1 of the Purple 9 Treasures, sparking an exceptionally rare and fierce battle for possession.

The supreme prodigy Tianxing from the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss obtained a strand of Primordial Genesis Qi (Innate Energy), triggering a desperate battle between the true spirit prodigies of both factions. This conflict led to the demise of several true spirit prodigies including Taihuan and Miehunzi.

Alas, the rare treasures within the Violet Heaven Palace were ultimately finite. Each person could only claim 1 treasure from the great hall, and attempting to enter other halls would yield no further rewards.

Eldrin led several companions into the great battle, successively slaying a dozen or so 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals and obtaining several treasures of Innate Spiritual Treasure grade.

Alas, there would be no further opportunities from this point onward.

As the treasures within over 30 grand halls were all opened, many 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals departed from the Violet Heaven, vanishing into the boundless chaos.

Clearly, many had their wishes fulfilled as they steered clear of these prodigies of the True Spirit and departed.

"What a pity. These people know you defeated the 3 Soul Sovereign, and now none are willing to cross blades with us."

Unable to find a worthy opponent, Eldrin sighed with a trace of helplessness. "Legend says that within the legacy of the Violet Immortal Lord, there might be a wisp of Primordial Chaos Origin Qi."

"Who knows if it has manifested this time, or if it has been claimed by some fortunate soul blessed by destiny?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin’s gaze flickered slightly as he asked, “Within the legacy of Lord Zi Xian, does the Primordial Chaos Origin Qi truly exist?”

"There is a certain possibility."

"Youwu spoke, then continued, 'Legend has it that the Purple Immortal Lord's Chaos Cauldron can transform and produce Primordial Chaos Qi. Though this requires an immense duration and comes at a great cost, the Celestial Emperors have deduced that it is highly probable for Primordial Chaos Qi to exist here.'"

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, his voice tinged with yearning as he said, "If only I could obtain such a treasure, how splendid that would be."

Upon hearing this, Youwu couldn't help but take a careful look at Eldrin (Person Name), yet ultimately averted her gaze.

In truth, she had previously speculated that if Primal Chaos Qi truly existed, Eldrin would be the most likely to obtain it. After all, he stood the greatest chance of attaining the Dao as the Primal Chaos Heavenly Emperor during this cosmic tribulation, and in the future, would be the most probable figure to facilitate Purple Immortal Lord’s return.

But upon careful reflection, she realized she had never been separated from Eldrin during this period, nor had she witnessed Eldrin departing alone—this dispelled her suspicions.

“或许，这一次量劫，根本混沌始炁没有出世，亦或者被逆苍天，或者某个机缘之子得去了。”

"Of course, it's also possible that wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi was preserved by Purple Sovereign as foundational reserves for his return." (End of Chapter)
