Chapter 1909 : Chaos Realm Grass

Chapter 1,910 Chaos Realm Grass Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up faintly as they turned their gazes toward Eldrin.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke up, "According to the rules of the 3 1000 Celestial Domains, all paths within 300,000 li surrounding a celestial domain belong to our hunting territory."

"Now that we have established our immortal domain, it is time to form hunting parties to pursue the primordial chaos beasts roaming our borderlands for cultivation purposes."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. Chen Xianchang could not help but speaking up, "Father, why not let me form a team? I, too, wish to venture into the chaos."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) said with a calm gaze, "The Chaos Sea is perilous, especially in this territory we currently inhabit. Those below the strength of a 7-tribulation ancient immortal possess little to no self-preservation ability."

"I intend to convert a legion of celestial soldiers and refine several Primordial Battleships. When the time comes, each of you shall command a fleet to hunt Chaos Ancient Beasts in the periphery of the Abyssal Immortal Realm."

At this point, Eldrin spoke again, "There are 2 purposes for hunting the primordial chaos beasts. The first is to locate chaos nests and integrate them into the Celestial Domain of Chaos."

"Second, we should capture more gentle-tempered primordial chaos beasts, such as the Glazed Treasure Light Fish, that are suitable for domestication and integrate them into the Chaos Heavenly Domain for rearing."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, 1 lives off the mountain or the sea. Since they dwell within the Chaos Sea, taming Chaos Ancient Beasts is the most common choice.

If the Chaos Heaven Domain continues to expand, it could not only serve as a training ground for the trials of the Great Dao Tribulation, but also bring vast cultivation resources to the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization).

At this thought, Lyra spoke: "The number of Primordial Beasts in the Chaos is countless. However, these beasts feed on worlds—surviving solely on the waters of Chaos can only sustain their most basic survival needs."

"If we do not offer worlds for them to devour, I fear we cannot raise too many Primordial Chaos Beasts."

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly. In truth, very few cultivators within the Chaos Realm engaged in large-scale domestication of primordial chaos beasts.

For the Chaos Ancient Beasts feed upon worlds, drifting through the primordial chaos as they ceaselessly devour minor universes and realms, using this consumption as nourishment for their cultivation and ascension.

If they were to be kept in captivity, artificially providing worlds and universes for them to devour would not only incur karmic backlash but also entail exorbitant costs.

Moreover, the Chaos Nests inhale and exhale the waters of chaos, so only a limited number of them can exist in any given location.

Take the Primordial Chaos Domain for example—it spans nearly half the size of a celestial realm, yet it can sustain no more than 3,000 primordial chaos nests. Once this number is exceeded, the nests begin to interfere with 1 another, potentially causing their grade to deteriorate.

After much deliberation, Eldrin finally spoke: "The Primordial Chaos Beasts devour worlds primarily to consume their essence. As long as we find a substitute, all shall be well. Leave this matter to me."

"1 of you shall remain to guard the Chaos Heavenly Domain, while the rest await my command."

With these words, Eldrin departed from the Abyssal Return Immortal Realm.

He first banished the Chaos Heaven Domain to a distance of 1 1000 Dao Paths away. After confirming that the Chaos Heaven Domain would not interfere with the Returning Abyss Immortal Domain, he left the Ancestral Master Qiyuan to guard it.

Then he returned to the Primordial Immortal Realm with over 3,000 immortals.

Returning to the Primordial Immortal Realm, Eldrin immediately headed to the Undying Immortal Pool, directing these immortals to undergo transformation into celestial soldiers and generals.

Among these 3,000 Immortals, the majority were Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators from the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) and the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance, with a smaller portion hailing from the Vast Azure Immortal Domain and the Abyssal Return Immortal Domain.

These immortals possessed extraordinary talents and had cultivated 3 Ascension Foundations, yet they felt hopeless in breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm. Thus, they enrolled in the recruitment for Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals candidates.

Not every immortal firmly believed they could ascend directly to the Great Luo Realm. Many, aware of the arduous path to enlightenment, chose instead to join the ranks of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

Once transformed into Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, 1 would immediately possess combat prowess at the level of Celestial Immortals or even Ancient Immortals. It could be said that from this moment on, they could ascend to the heavens in a single step.

To nurture these 3,000 Celestial Soldiers, Eldrin retrieved over 10 1000 strands of Primordial Qi along with more than 10 1000 portions of Primordial Marvels, then delivered them all into the Immortal Pool of Eternity.

For the first time converting the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Eldrin was still somewhat curious and couldn't help but observe from the side.

But as he observed, Eldrin gradually grasped the principle behind how the Immortal Pool of Imperishability transformed mortals into celestial soldiers and generals.

Within the Immortal Pool of Nirvana surged boundless divine essence and primordial chaos energy. The moment an immortal stepped into its waters, the pool would instantly reconstruct the very foundations of their being—flesh, cosmic principles, and primordial spirit.

After the reshaping was complete, although the immortal’s cultivation foundation remained the 3 Ascendant Dao Fruits, it had become as pure and unblemished as a blank sheet of paper.

He then integrated the Primordial Qi into the Immortal’s body. After infusing 3 successive streams, the Immortal’s potential had already rivaled that of a flawless Celestial Immortal. However, at this stage, the Immortal’s cultivation realm remained insufficient, rendering them little more than a nascent Primordial Spirit still in gestation.

After merging with the 3 strands of innate qi, the boundless dao patterns within the Immortal Annihilation Pond began to boil, converging into the Celestial Being’s form. They intertwined with his 3 foundational pillars, giving rise to the embryonic form of innate dao patterns.

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin finally understood—the celestial soldiers and generals transformed by the Undying Immortal Pond were essentially nurturing an innate deity.

However, as a general rule, innate deities are born from the natural creation of heaven and earth, whereas the Immortal Ascension Pool is artificially forged through human means.

For a moment, it was truly difficult to discern which of the 2 held the upper hand.

Yet if the Undying Immortal Pond were likened to a realm of heaven and earth, the cultivation resources it could provide would undoubtedly surpass that of an entire world.

"Bzzz—"

Just as these thoughts flashed through Eldrin’s mind, the innate treasures he had offered fell 1 after another into the Immortal Indestructibility Pool.

Eldrin provided each Celestial Soldier and General with 4 types of innate treasures: 2 pieces of Arcane Silver, 1 segment of Soulwood of Heaven, and 1 piece of Primordial Chaos Gold.

Behold, the innate treasure merged with the nascent Celestial Soldier. The 2 pieces of innate Mithril transformed into a full suit of silver battle armor and a silver war halberd, the Celestial Soulwood materialized into a command token, while the Primordial Chaos Profound Gold fused directly into the Celestial Soldier’s physical form.

Thus a 1000 years passed, until 1 day the celestial soldier opened his eyes, rose to his feet, and prostrated himself before Eldrin, saying, "I pay my respects to the Immortal Lord. I offer my deepest gratitude for your grace of rebirth."

"Not bad."

Eldrin nodded, a trace of satisfaction coloring his expression.

In that moment, he had comprehended the true might of the Celestial Soldiers.

After merging with the Chaos Profound Gold, the Celestial Soldier's combat power primarily resided in his physical form. He moved through the Chaos Sea as effortlessly as a fish through water, his strength no less formidable than that of a Chaos Ancient Beast of the same rank.

Yet to compensate for this weakness in magical power, the silver battle armor and halberd—the Celestial Soldier’s innate treasures—were more than sufficient to make up for it.

That silver war armor was forged from innate mythril, capable of reducing 90 percent of the magic damage from Celestial Immortals of the same rank. The silver halberd, also crafted from mythril, could shatter all techniques with a single strike, specifically countering the protective auras and divine abilities of Immortals.

It could be said that while the celestial soldier before them merely possessed cultivation comparable to the early stages of the Celestial Immortal realm, his true combat prowess was sufficient to rival an ordinary fourth-level Celestial Immortal.

If they were to battle within the chaos, he would not fear even a Sixth Heavenly Immortal.

Most crucially, each Celestial Soldier harbors a Celestial Command Token within their body. This token serves as their Life-Bound Treasure, capable of uniting multiple Celestial Soldiers to unleash power sufficient to suppress and slay gods and demons.

Therefore, with just 10 Celestial Soldiers joining forces, even a Seventh-Level Celestial Immortal would be captured without resistance. Should a 100 Celestial Soldiers unite under the command of a Celestial General, even an ancient immortal powerhouse would likely turn and flee.

And if the celestial soldiers numbered over 10,000, they would be sufficient to contend against an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

If over 1,000,000 celestial soldiers were to jointly deploy the formation, they could even marginally interfere with battles at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"No wonder I had long heard that 1 of the methods used by the celestial soldiers, heavenly generals, and Great Luo Golden Immortals to counter the Chaos Fiends was..."

After realizing the immense power of the celestial soldiers and generals, Eldrin couldn't help but sigh in awe.

But moments later, he still shook his head faintly, a trace of heartache flashing across his expression.

Of the 4 rare treasures required to nurture Celestial Soldiers, apart from the Heaven-Soul Wood Eldrin (Person Name) that could be self-sufficient, the other 2—Primordial Secret Silver and Chaos Profound Gold—were exceptionally scarce commodities.

Such rare treasures are of immense value, costing roughly twice as much as innate treasures of the same rank.

There was no other way. Although other rare treasures could serve as substitutes for converting Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, they were either more expensive and scarce, or the resulting Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals would be at least 20-30% weaker in combat prowess.

Therefore, even though Eldrin felt heartache, he still expended immense resources to transform these 3,000 celestial soldiers and generals.

When all was completed, Eldrin discovered that on average, each Heavenly Soldier had cost him approximately 10 strands of Primordial Qi, while each Heavenly General had consumed 1 100 strands.

In addition to the fees paid to the Celestial Court, the deployment of 3,000 celestial soldiers and 30 celestial generals collectively consumed nearly 40,000 strands of Primordial Qi.

"Money truly flows like water."

Eldrin felt a pang of heartache. After this expenditure, the amount of Primordial Qi that could be mobilized from the clan treasury had dwindled significantly. If further substantial expenses arose, he would have no choice but to sell off some Great Luo Rare Treasures or Innate Spiritual Artifacts.

Such a rare treasure, Eldrin (Person Name) could not bear to part with it, forcing him to decisively abandon any extravagant notions.

After transforming the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Eldrin (Person Name) immediately went to the Celestial Court's Elixir Hall and promptly presented his name card.

The master of the Divine Elixir Hall was the Clear Distrance Emperor, a cultivator at the Mixed Origin Emperor realm. However, he was currently in seclusion for closed-door training. Eldrin (Person Name) was instead received by 1 of the hall's 7 deputy masters, the Flowing Canal Immortal Lord.

Clad in robes as white as snow, Immortal Fuqu smiled as he guided Eldrin into the great hall before speaking. "Your visit today, Immortal—could it be that you require some celestial herbs or divine elixirs?"

Eldrin smiled faintly. As 1 of the Celestial Court's most vital institutions, the Hall of Divine Elixirs cultivated vast quantities of innate divine herbs, including no small number of supreme-grade innate Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Immortal Lord Fuqu, 1 of the 7 Vice Hall Masters, possessed not only unfathomable cultivation, but also unparalleled expertise in nurturing spiritual roots and identifying myriad innate celestial herbs.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "My purpose in visiting today is to inquire, fellow Daoist, if you happen to possess any immortal herbs or divine seeds capable of nurturing a Chaos Ancient Beast?"

Elder Fuqu smiled faintly, speaking as if he had long anticipated this: "It seems you, fellow daoist, intend to breed Chaos Ancient Beasts on a massive scale."

"Fellow Daoist, your vision is truly as keen as a pearl."

Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands with a light chuckle and said.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Fuqu personally poured a cup of tea for Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "It is not that I possess extraordinary discernment, but rather this matter has been inquired about by more than just you alone."

"Oh?"

Since time immemorial, many immortal lords have sought to nurture the primordial beasts of chaos.

Elder Fu Qu said, then with a flick of his sleeve, he produced several rare treasures.

He placed several rare treasures before Eldrin and said, "The Primordial Origin Fruit, the World Tree of All Realms, and the Chaos Realm Grass—each of these rare treasures can nurture ancient chaos beasts."

As Immortal Lord Fu Qu spoke in a measured tone, a gleam ignited in Eldrin’s gaze, and he listened quietly to the immortal lord’s explanation.

With a faint smile, Immortal Fuqu continued, "The Primordial Origin Fruit is 1 of the ancient innate spiritual herbs. It can take root and grow within Chaos Nests or cosmic voids. When devoured by Chaos Ancient Beasts, it greatly enhances their cultivation base, and it may also serve as an aid for Immortals' cultivation."

"However, its survival conditions are rather demanding. It requires consumption of Primordial Qi to cultivate, and a single low-grade Chaos Nest can only sustain 1 root. Moreover, it takes an entire Kalpa for it to reach maturity."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly. The Primordial Origin Fruit (Spiritual Fruit) was exceptionally potent—even a single 1 consumed by a Chaos Ancient Beast (Mythical Creature) could elevate its realm by an entire stage. However, its cultivation conditions were far too demanding. Using it to feed the Chaos Ancient Beast (Mythical Creature) was an extravagance, and the cost was prohibitively high.

Seeing this, Immortal Fuqu added, "This Multiverse Tree is a supreme-grade primordial ancient tree, capable of bearing 3,000 Multiverse Fruits at once, each containing the essence of world origin power."

Nearly all primordial chaos beasts can be fed with Multiverse Realm Fruits, yet these fruits can only be cultivated within Great Luo-level chaos nests or immortal domains.

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. The Multiverse Realm Fruit Tree required lower costs and could be cultivated on a relatively large scale.

The only issue was that the World Tree of Heavens consumed a tremendous amount of the immortal realm's origin energy. Even Eldrin's Abyssal Return Immortal Realm could not cultivate too many at once, lest it lead to a depletion of the realm's foundational essence.

Eldrin calculated with his fingers and realized that even if he planted the World-Tree of the Heavens, it would only suffice to nurture a handful of Chaos Beast Kings.

He cultivated the Chaos Indestructible Body, which required refining a 10 Revolutions Immortal Pill from the flesh and blood of numerous Chaos Beast Kings. Relying solely on the Multiverse Realm Tree to nurture Chaos Beast Kings was nothing more than a futile attempt to extinguish a blazing fire with a mere cup of water.

At this thought, Eldrin shook his head faintly.

Seeing this, Immortal Fuqu took out the final stalk of Chaos Realm Grass and said, "This Chaos Realm Grass is a relatively common Taiyi-grade treasure found within the chaos."

It resembled a blade of wild grass, rooted within the primordial chaos, capable of drawing upon the waters of chaos to carve out miniature realms.

"However, this low-grade Chaos Realm Grass counts as the cheapest of the Great Ultimate Treasures. Because it contains too little world essence and is too tough to refine, Chaos Beast Kings rarely deign to devour it."

"Yet a select few can advance to become mid-grade Chaos Realm Grasses, which some primordial chaos beasts are willing to consume. Their greatest advantage lies in the simplicity of cultivation—requiring only chaos seawater to be grown in vast quantities."

At this point, Immortal Fuqu (Person Name) shook his head slightly. "What a pity. The Chaos Realm Grass (Spiritual Herb) possesses far too fragile a foundation; among 10 1000 specimens, scarcely 1 can advance to become a medium-grade Taiyi Marvel (Spiritual Treasure)."

"Even after advancing to a mid-grade Chaos Realm Grass, its extreme toughness made it nearly impossible to refine. Thus, only a handful of primordial chaos beasts were willing to devour it."

Upon hearing this, a faint glimmer lit up in Eldrin's eyes.

His Primordial Chaos Vessel could help spiritual roots break through bottlenecks, making it perhaps the optimal choice for cultivating Chaos Realm Grass.

At this thought, Eldrin said without changing his expression, “Fellow Daoist, give me 1 Multiverse Realm Fruit Tree, along with a batch of 10,000 Chaos Realm Grass Seeds.”

With that, Eldrin took out a batch of rare treasures to cover the cost of the Multiverse Realm Tree and the Chaos Realm Grass seeds.

Seeing this, Immortal Fuqu shook his head. He only accepted the payment for the Multiverse Realm Fruit Tree, returning the money for the Chaos Realm Grass seeds as he said, "Throughout the Chaos Sea, Chaos Realm Grass can be found practically everywhere. How could I possibly accept your payment for it?"

Eldrin chuckled softly and did not decline the offer. He simply clasped his hands and inquired, "Might I ask, fellow Daoist, which primordial beasts dwelling within the chaos are known to devour the Chaos Realm Grass?"

“It feeds on Chaos Realm Grass?” Immortal Attendant Fuqi was taken aback for a moment. After pondering briefly, he remarked, “As I recall, creatures like the Chaos Yak, the Chaos White Goat, and the Chaos Azure Fish are among the weakest of the Chaos species.”

A faint glimmer lit up Eldrin's eyes as he immediately rose to bid farewell, saying, "In that case, my sincerest gratitude."

After bidding farewell to Immortal Fuqu, Eldrin visited the Scripture Palace. Having obtained the Ancient Chaos Beast records and spiritual treasure compendium, he returned to the Abyssal Immortal Realm accompanied by 3,000 celestial soldiers and generals.

After returning to the Immortal Realm, the first thing Eldrin did was to research the 3 types of Chaos Ancient Beasts. Soon, he uncovered the origins of these primordial creatures.

Indeed, as Immortal Lord Fu Qu had said, these 3 Chaos Ancient Beasts were the weakest of their kind.

Among these 3 types of primordial chaos beast clans, the vast majority were low-tier primordial chaos beasts, with few ever reaching the realm of Chaos Beast Kings.

Ordinary hordes of Chaos Beasts may spawn a Chaos Beast King once their numbers exceed 1 100. However, for the 3 unique breeds of Chaos Beast hordes, it takes a gathering of over 10 1000 before a single Beast King can emerge.

These primordial beasts of chaos possessed extremely low combat power, drifting in the chaos by the tens of thousands.

Though their combat prowess was weak, they had not faced extinction. These 3 ancient chaos beasts each possessed unique traits, with their most significant commonality being their ability to feed on Chaos Realm Grass.

The origin of that Chaos Realm Grass was faint, yet it could take root within the chaos, naturally tempered by the waters of the primordial sea to become incomparably resilient.

For ordinary Chaos Ancient Beasts, devouring and refining Chaos Realm Grass was an exceedingly slow process, yielding far too meager gains. Hence, few Chaos Ancient Beasts ever consumed Chaos Realm Grass.

These 3 primordial chaos beasts, however, were exceptionally unique. They had specifically evolved Heaven-Devouring Stomachs for the Chaos Realm Grass, enabling them to refine it with remarkable efficiency.

It was precisely for this reason that they fed on the Chaos Realm Grass, which other primordial beasts avoided, and coupled with their rapid growth rate and reproductive capacity, they became the most populous primordial beast tribe in the Chaos Sea.

"Vast in number, rapid in growth, and possessing an extraordinary reproductive rate, they subsist on the cheapest Chaos Realm Grass."

Eldrin murmured softly, a glint of satisfaction flickering in his eyes.

These 3 types of Chaos Beast hordes are the optimal choice for domesticating primordial chaos creatures, with their only drawback being their excessively low cultivation base—virtually useless to Great Luo Golden Immortals.

To cultivate their physical form, a Great Luo Golden Immortal requires at least the 10 Revolutions Immortal Pill refined by a Chaos Beast King, which barely qualifies as cultivation resources.
