Chapter 1911 : Wild Goose Startles Cold, Ye Yinghui
After Lyra (Person Name) entered seclusion, Eldrin (Person Name) resumed his life of secluded cultivation.
In the years that followed, he devoted himself primarily to comprehending the Great Dao and cultivating his primordial spirit, only occasionally emerging from seclusion to hunt powerful primordial chaos beasts that his clansmen dared not confront.
Thus time flowed on incessantly, and in the blink of an eye, several million years had passed. The strength of the Return to Void Immortal Alliance grew ever more formidable, and within the Sacrificial Dao, powerful individuals 1 after another had cultivated to the 3 Realms Realm.
The number of primordial beasts in the Northern and Southern Chaotic Heavens also steadily increased, surpassing even 100,000 in total.
At this stage, the Elder Uncle and others began selectively breeding the primordial chaos beasts. Those with inferior bloodline aptitude were hunted down to serve as cultivation resources for the Abyssal Immortal Realm, while specimens that had reached higher cultivation realms—particularly those who had broken through to the mid or late stages of the Celestial Immortal realm—were preserved for breeding purposes.
In the midst of this process, Eldrin unexpectedly discovered that these Chaos Primordial Beasts refined 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills could actually serve as cultivation resources for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
It turned out that Celestial Soldiers and Generals were not entirely incapable of advancing their cultivation realms. In theory, any Celestial Soldier or General could cultivate all the way to the Ancient Immortal realm. However, their progress would ultimately be confined to this stage—it was impossible for them to take the final step and ascend to the Great Luo realm.
While the Celestial Soldiers and Generals primarily cultivated their physical bodies, the flesh of low-tier Chaos Ancient Beasts served as the most suitable cultivation resource for them.
"It seems that in the future, we can use the surplus Primordial Chaos Beasts to aid the cultivation of our Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals."
A faint smile surfaced in Eldrin's heart as he murmured to himself.
With a substantial supply of high-grade Chaos Realm Grass, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) would certainly face no shortage of upper-ninth-tier primordial Chaos Beasts in the future. Perhaps they could even cultivate an elite force of unparalleled prowess.
At this thought, Eldrin grew increasingly intrigued by the idea of domesticating the primordial beast of chaos.
In the years that followed, he established 2 additional Chaos Heavens to the east and west of the Abyssal Immortal Realm, transforming them into specialized environments better suited for nurturing these primordial chaos beasts.
Thereafter, the Eastern Chaotic Heaven Domain was used to breed Chaos Azure Fish, the Northern Heaven Domain to raise Chaos White Sheep, the Western Heaven Domain to herd Primal Yaks, while the Southern Heaven Domain served as a ground for tribulation trials.
At this moment, Eldrin realized they were short-handed again. He returned to the Abyssal Immortal Realm and used resources accumulated over millions of years to train 7,000 celestial soldiers and divine generals, barely managing to assemble a total of 10,000 celestial troops.
It is worth mentioning that assembling these 7,000 Celestial Troops and Divine Generals was no small feat, as those with Triple Ascension foundations could be considered exceptionally rare talents.
In the Empyrean Realm of the Abyssal Return, there were 1 100 and 40-4 celestial layers. However, each celestial domain could give rise to no more than 1 100 individuals during a single great tribulation at most. Among these immortals, fewer than half were willing to become celestial soldiers and divine generals. Thus, Eldrin could not gather such a vast number of heavenly troops and commanders.
Fortunately, Eldrin’s prestige in the Stellar Zenith Celestial Realm was immense. He returned there once and selected numerous prodigies with Triple Ascension foundations from various blessed realms and independent cultivators, successfully completing the transformation of this batch of Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals.
With 10,000 celestial soldiers at his command, Eldrin deployed 1,000 to guard each of the 4 primordial chaos realms, while entrusting the remaining forces to ancient clan immortals like Kael to lead hunts for primordial chaos beasts.
After handling all of this, the Chaos Ancient Beast industry in the entire Abyssal Immortal Realm had taken shape, and they had slain over a dozen Chaos Beast Kings.
Eldrin had intended to refine a batch of 10 Revolutions Transcendent Pills, but his plans were abruptly interrupted by an urgent missive. Without delay, he traversed into the nameless dimension where the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss hovered in eternal suspension.
"Have I awakened?"
In this nameless space, Eldrin parted his lips slightly, his eyes brimming with boundless wonder as they beheld the Immortal Soil before him.
There within the Great Luo Immortal Realm, that seed which had once lain dormant now emanated a faint aura of primordial chaos.
"Vitality has been restored, and it can now take root and gestate."
The Pearl of Returning Abyss spoke softly, its tone tranquil.
Eldrin felt a flicker of delight in his heart before speaking, "My gratitude."
The Pearl of Returning Abyss remained calm, yet it suddenly spoke, "The Chaos Azure Lotus can only take root and sprout when planted in the Primordial Realm or a Chaos-grade chaos nest."
"To use this as a foundation for reincarnation cultivation, it would be best to seek out a portion of Primordial Chaos Immortal Soil."
Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly. Establishing roots in the Primordial Realm carried far too great a risk, and a Chaos-grade Chaos Nest was simply beyond his ability to claim.
At this thought, he couldn't help but turn to the Abyssal Pearl and ask, "Do you have a solution?"
The Abyssal Pearl pondered briefly before speaking, "This place is the Land of Returning Ruin, where chaos meets its final end. It can be considered the ultimate dao sanctuary within the primordial chaos, saturated with the power of destructive oblivion."
"The Primordial Azure Lotus can take root here, but it's highly likely to be tainted by the power of the Returning Abyss, which may prevent it from sprouting."
"Regardless, with no other options, we must at least give it a try."
Eldrin declared decisively, then produced the Chaos Lotus Seed and brought Qingji over.
Qing Ji gazed at the Chaos Lotus Seed, her heart surging with incomparable excitement. After hearing Eldrin (Person Name) recount the risks involved, she pondered for a moment before saying, "No matter what, we must give it a try."
"Then I shall lend you a hand."
As Eldrin (Person Name) spoke, he immediately channeled the boundless power of the Cycle of Reincarnation Great Dao to assist Qingji (Person Name) in stepping into the cycle of rebirth.
Seizing this opportunity, Qing Ji sacrificed all her foundations, transforming tens of millions of years of cultivation into primordial essence that fused with her primordial spirit, ultimately merging with the Chaos Lotus Seed.
"Mark this well."
Seizing the opportunity, Eldrin slowly imprinted the Primordial Chaos Sutra within Qingji's primordial spirit, unexpectedly imprinting 9 Primordial Chaos Characters in succession.
Eldrin then opened his mouth and infused a strand of innate Primordial Chaos Light—accumulated over millions of years—into Qing Ji’s primordial spirit.
This was Eldrin's first time using the Primordial Primordial Light to aid in reincarnation. The Primordial Primordial Light, the 9 Primordial Characters, the Primordial Mother Qi, the Chaos Lotus Seed, and Qing Ji's primordial spirit merged together, ultimately giving rise to over a 100 Chaos Ancient Characters.
——Book of the Chaotic Azure Lotus!
Eldrin murmured, a flicker of astonishment gleaming in his eyes.
He had a premonition that this Chaos Azure Lotus Tome would surely shake the heavens and earth—perhaps not inferior to the Chaos 3 Souls Tome.
"Bzzz—"
In the blink of an eye, those hundreds of primordial chaos characters trembled violently before ultimately merging into the Chaos Lotus Seed. Wrapping around the Primordial Azure Lotus Throne, the Green Dragon Sea-Quelling Sword, and the Crimson Dragon Sky-Scorching Sword, they were on the verge of vanishing into the cycle of reincarnation.
If Eldrin (Person Name) did not intervene, Qing Ji would be randomly reincarnated into the depths of the primordial chaos.
Eldrin was a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had mastered the Dao of Reincarnation, possessing the power to meddle with the cycle of rebirth.
In an instant, he made his move. The supreme authority of the Samsara Body surged through all directions, and under the influence of this intangible power, the Engraved Lotus Seed took root within the land of the Returning Abyss.
In that instant, Eldrin could distinctly sense the lotus seed madly drawing upon the Li Fire of the Returning Abyss, transmuting it into its own primordial essence.
In other words, the Chaos Azure Lotus was taking root and sprouting.
Witnessing this scene, the Abyssal Pearl remarked with a hint of astonishment, "Unblemished by the filth it grew from—it has nurtured a thread of nirvana’s truth within utter stillness. Truly, the Seed of the Primordial Azure Lotus is extraordinary."
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, gazing at the lotus seed as he inquired, "How do you feel?"
"The Origin is vast and boundless; in comparison, I am but an insignificant ant."
Qing Ji had just undergone reincarnation, her memories still hazy. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Even though I've been reborn, completely merging with this vessel will likely take at least 1 kalpa."
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. Once fully integrated with the Chaos Azure Lotus, Qing Ji would truly become a being rooted in primordial chaos.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, as the first azure lotus seed born from the primordial chaos, the Chaos Azure Lotus's foundation must at least correspond to the Second Realm of Chaos.
Qing Ji had merged with it and obtained the Chaos Azure Lotus Tome. Her future achievements were likely to be limitless.
At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but say, "There's no need to rush. Take your time merging with the Chaos Azure Lotus. Once you've completely refined it, you'll be able to take form and emerge into the world."
"Very well. When the time comes, we shall stand shoulder to shoulder once more."
Hearing this, Qing Ji (Person Name) responded with a faint celestial glow, then gradually sank into deep slumber.
Having initially integrated with the Chaos Azure Lotus, she would require an extended slumber spanning countless years to gradually achieve complete fusion with it.
As Qing Ji gradually sank into slumber, Eldrin did not linger any longer. He departed directly from the nameless void and emerged within the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.
After completing this step, Eldrin immediately began refining the 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
The Voidhaven Immortal Realm had existed for over 5 million years. Throughout this time, the combined efforts of the Cycle Incarnation and the Voidhaven Immortal Alliance had slain nearly a 100 Chaos Beast Kings.
This time, Eldrin was preparing to refine them all into 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills.
With Eldrin's current cultivation level, concocting ninth-grade supreme 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills posed almost no difficulty. He even refined 30-6 cauldrons simultaneously, successfully completing all these 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills within merely a few 1000 years.
In just over 10 1000 years, Eldrin had successfully refined nearly a 100 batches of 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills, yielding a total of over 3 100 such pills.
After successfully refining the 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir, Eldrin immediately consumed 1 pill.
After he finished refining this 10 Revolutions Immortal Pill, a slight frown involuntarily creased between his brows.
A single 10 Revolutions Immortal Pill was enough to increase a Celestial Immortal at the peak of perfection's chances of breaking through the physical body's heavenly barrier by 20 percent, yet the enhancement it brought Eldrin was minuscule.
Even if it were merely an 11-Limit Indestructible Body, the gap between it and a 9-Limit Great Luo Heavenly Barrier Body would be nearly tenfold.
Compared to a true Innate Primordial Chaos Body, the 9 Limits Body was vastly different—the disparity simply could not be measured in multiples.
The disparity was simply too vast—so immense that a single strand of hair from a Great Luo Golden Immortal could slice a 9-Limit Body into countless fragments.
Most crucially, the efficacy of 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills would drastically diminish when refined by a Great Luo Golden Immortal, no longer capable of delivering significant breakthroughs, and could only serve as ordinary cultivation resources.
Upon reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, there remained but 1 method to rapidly advance 1's physical cultivation: refining the flesh and blood of a Chaos Demon God into Great Luo Immortal Pills.
If 1 were to refine only 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills, it would require approximately 100,000 pills to break through to the second layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Depending on their cultivation realm, each Chaos Beast King has a finite capacity to refine 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills. To successfully produce 100,000 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills, 1 would need to slay tens of thousands of Chaos Beast Kings.
This number was truly staggering. Even if they slaughtered every single primordial chaos beast accumulated across the 300,000 dao domains surrounding the Eldrin Immortal Realm over the course of an entire kalpa, it would barely amount to a few dozenths of what was needed.
In other words, if Eldrin relied solely on slaying Chaos Beast Kings to refine 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills for physical cultivation, he would either have to wait for dozens of kalpas, or depart from the territories surrounding the Abyssal Return Immortal Domain to hunt Chaos Beast Kings in the distant primordial chaos sea.
Once 1 ventured beyond the vicinity of the Return-to-Void Immortal Realm, they would likely tread into the hunting grounds of other immortal domains or set foot in the territories of the Chaos Fiend Gods. A single misstep could ignite a war of chaos.
"Only 100,000 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills can break through to the second layer of the Great Luo Body."
"Wrong. With the durability of my Great Luo physique, the resources required to break through to the second layer will be significantly greater."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint furrow forming between his brows.
At this moment, he finally comprehended the arduous path of cultivating the Fleshly Body Sanctification method. Without triggering a Chaos War of the Da Luo level, relying solely on hunting within his own territory would likely require over a 100 cosmic kalpas to break through to the second layer of Da Luo.
The gap between the second and third levels of the Great Dao was even more vast, requiring roughly 50 percent more resources to cultivate.
To break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm, even 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills would prove utterly ineffective. 1 must consume genuine Great Luo Immortal Pills, Primordial Marvels, or the flesh and blood of Chaos Godfiends to advance further.
"1 must continuously wage the Great War of Chaos and slay the Chaos Fiends to advance further."
"The path of physical sanctification is unexpectedly arduous, no wonder its power grows exponentially with each breakthrough in realm."
Eldrin let out a soft sigh. Had it not been for his intention to nurture the Chaos Beast King, he would likely have considered initiating a Great Chaos War by now to seize the resources needed for his cultivation breakthrough.
Now, Eldrin had formed a preliminary approach to nurturing the Chaos Beast King, though of course he intended to first immerse himself in secluded cultivation for some time.
When Lyra (Person Name) and the others later break through to the Great Luo Realm, gaining numerous reliable allies, and when his physical cultivation can no longer advance further—only then shall he consider launching the Great War of Chaos.
At this thought, Eldrin quickly reined in his wandering mind and continued refining the 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
Soon, he had fully refined all 300-plus 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills, only to realize his physical strength had increased by roughly half a tenth.
Having refined the 10 Revolutions Immortal Pill, Eldrin resumed his tranquil cultivation. Time flew by in such a manner for over a million years, until the day finally arrived for the first Heavenly Tribulation of the Returning Abyss Immortal Realm to commence.
As the first Heavenly Tribulation in the Eldrin Immortal Realm, this cataclysm could truly be described as exceptionally grand and magnificent.
Those who entered the tribulation included not only the newly ascended immortals of the Abyssal Immortal Domain in recent years, but also a great number of prodigies from the Abyssal Immortal Alliance and the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization).
And as the other face of the Dao Calamity, the Southern Celestial Realm of Chaos had nurtured over a 1000 primordial beasts of chaos in these years.
Eldrin deliberately released nearly a 1000 of the weaker ones, with the most powerful Primal Chaos Ancient Beast having cultivation even reaching the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm.
With a mid-stage Celestial Immortal-level primordial chaos beast joining the Heavenly Tribulation, this should have been extremely perilous in principle. However, Eldrin had made this decision only after thorough deliberation.
There was no other way, for the power of a 3 Realms Realm expert was far too overwhelming.
The 3 Realms Realm of the Sacrificial Path was initially conceived as an equivalent to the Taiyi Realm, yet the disparity between them proved far too vast.
Empowered by the Inner World of the 3 Realms Realm, experts at this level far surpass those of the Taiyi Realm. Most crucially, as the essence of the 3 Realms within them undergoes feedback nourishment, it enables the cultivation of 3 Realms Realm experts to continue breaking through.
An ordinary Half-Step Celestial Immortal, upon reaching this realm, could advance no further.
However, a 3 Realms Realm expert was different. Depending on the size and origin of their inner world, even the weakest among them could cultivate, at minimum, a lower-grade Taiyi Foundation.
Some powerful individuals could cultivate a Mid-grade Taiyi Body, or even a High-grade Taiyi Body.
Taking Eldrin's (Person Name) 70-2 nominal disciples as an example, they had all at minimum cultivated a Mid-grade Taiyi Body. Empowered by their inner worlds, each now possessed combat prowess equivalent to an early-stage Celestial Immortal.
Among them, the top-ranked ones had all cultivated a Supreme Taiyi Foundation. With this Supreme Taiyi Foundation and the empowerment of their inner worlds, these Devour Path Immortals could even defeat Flawless Celestial Immortals, and the most exceptional among them could contend against mid-stage Celestial Immortals.
Take Lu Chong'a for instance, he had already forged the supreme Great Ultimate Foundation, and once battled a Fourth Heavenly Immortal for a 1000 moves without defeat.
Once such a figure ascends to the Inner Universe and breaks through to the Cosmic Realm, their cultivation base would instantly rival that of a late-stage Celestial Immortal, with limitless potential in the years to come.
As the Heavenly Tribulation was about to commence, the high-ranking members of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance emerged from their secluded cultivation with rare interest, gazing intently at the battlefield near the edge of the immortal domain.
Kael observed for a moment before finally smiling. "With nearly a 1000 3 Realms Realm cultivators, it seems your personal disciple quota is truly in high demand."
Hearing this, a faint smile also surfaced on Eldrin's face.
Since the establishment of the Eldrin Immortal Realm, 9 great tribulations have occurred, giving rise to over 1,000 cultivators who attained the 3 Realms Realm.
These cultivators at the 3 Realms Realm possessed cultivation levels akin to Quasi-Celestial Immortals, yet due to the empowerment from their inner worlds, their breakthroughs far surpassed those of ordinary Quasi-Celestial Immortals.
If these 3 Realms Realm cultivators were willing to break through to the Cosmic Universe Realm, their success rate should be no less than 30 percent.
Particularly for those who had cultivated to the mid-stage of the Taiyi Realm, using their own medium-grade Taiyi Foundation as a foundation, the success rate of breaking through to the Cosmic Realm was no less than 50%.
Yet these experts at the 3 Realms Realm had not made a breakthrough. While some sought to forge a stronger Great Unity Foundation, the vast majority were competing for the coveted disciple quota under Eldrin (Person Name).
Just then, Lulu tilted her head and asked, "Who do you think will claim the top spot in this kalpa tribulation?"
“Yan Jinghan,” Yan Zijie spoke, a smile gracing her lips. “He is the transformed form of a 9-leaf Sword Grass. Since dedicating himself to the Path of Self-Offering, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. His mastery of the sword path has even drawn admiration from Senior Jiang Huang. Among his generation, it seems none can rival him now.”
"Doesn't count, doesn't count." Lulu shook her head, smacking her lips. "Cao Cao is already a personal disciple, so he shouldn't be included."
Millions of years ago, the 9-Leaf Sword Grass gradually perfected its spiritual awareness, ultimately embarking on the path of cultivation.
Eldrin (Person Name), recognizing his extraordinary talent and the subtle destiny woven by the Chaos Realm Grass, imparted to him the cultivation method of Sacrificial Ascension. He named him Yan Jinghan, accepting him as his fifth personal disciple after Ye Qingfeng, Lu Wenyuan, Yuansheng, and the Serene Bamboo.
At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, “Although Jinghan has only recently taken human form, his cultivation has already reached the Cosmic Realm. This tribulation is merely a trial for him. He will not act against those below the Celestial Immortal level, nor will his ranking be counted.” (End of Chapter)
