Chapter 1914 : Great Luo Immortal Pill

"At least 500,000 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills are required to break through to the second level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint frown creasing his brow.

He knew full well that this was not only due to the might of his Primordial Chaos Immortal Body, but also because the energy level of the 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir was insufficient. Consuming it now offered greatly diminished effects, relegating it to mere foundational cultivation resources.

Thinking of this, Eldrin set aside the share of Primordial Qi intended for nurturing celestial soldiers and generals, preserving it to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Realm Grass.

By this calculation, they could cultivate approximately 200,000 10 Revolutions Immortal Pills. Only then did Eldrin feel somewhat reassured.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, given the current rate of acquiring Primordial Qi and nurturing Chaos Ancient Beasts, while ensuring sufficient resources for divine soul cultivation, approximately 300,000 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills could be produced during each subsequent kalpa.

Thus, after nearly 2 kalpas of time, he had broken through to the second level of the Great Perfection Stage in physical cultivation—a pace that could hardly be considered slow.

After determining his path of cultivation, Eldrin began having the Chaos Beast Kings bred on a massive scale.

After 60 million years of cultivation, each of the 3 Chaos Heavenly Domains now reared over 100,000 primordial beasts of chaos.

These primordial chaos beasts were all breeds refined through relentless elimination and selection, each possessing the bloodline of a Chaos Beast King with exceptional innate talent. At the cost of sacrificing combat prowess, they gained heightened probability of breaking through to become Chaos Beast Kings.

Now that they had a vast quantity of Primordial Chaos Realm Grass, the Chaos Beasts began advancing to the Chaos Beast King realm 1 after another.

These Chaos Beast Kings possessed remarkably low combat prowess, to the extent that they might not even achieve a stable victory against a Celestial Immortal at the Great Perfection stage. 1 could hardly dispute labeling them as pseudo-Chaos Beast Kings. Yet, their lifeblood energy was extraordinarily vast and vigorous, making them the finest material for refining 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills.

With the Chaos Beast King by his side, Eldrin's cultivation now allowed him to mass-produce 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills.

With his current level of cultivation, he could simultaneously refine over a 100 cauldrons of 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills. Tempered by the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Flames, each batch required merely a few years to complete—hardly consuming any significant portion of his time.

Thus, in the ensuing years, Eldrin refined 1 100 furnaces of 10-Revolutions Immortal Pills every 10 1000 years, devoting the remainder of his time to cultivating his physical form, refining his primordial spirit, and contemplating the Great Dao.

Until 5 million years had passed, Eldrin had successively concocted 30,000 furnaces of 10-cycle celestial pills, and his physical cultivation had also made significant progress.

But on this very day, Eldrin suddenly awoke from his secluded cultivation and arrived beyond the Abyssal Immortal Realm.

Beyond the celestial realm, the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord arrived astride an azure dragon, smiling faintly at Eldrin (Person Name). "Greetings, Fellow Daoist of the Returning Abyss," he said with a courteous nod.

Eldrin invited the Eastern Florescence Immortal Monarch into the Return to the Void Immortal Realm and personally brewed a pot of tea for him before speaking, "I heard you were injured in this battle, Elder Brother. Are you well now?"

Mentioning the recent Chaos War, a look of deep apprehension crossed Immortal Lord Donghua's face.

He took a deep breath and spoke, "That Chaos Sky Kui Bull possesses formidable combat prowess. Even after joining forces with Fellow Daoist Tianhe to encircle and slay it, we still failed to gain the slightest advantage. Instead, we were wounded by it."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin asked with immense trepidation, "This Primordial Chaos Kui Ox is actually this powerful?"

Donghua Immortal Lord (Person Name) nodded slightly before speaking, "Though both are at the late Great Perfection Stage (Cultivation Realm), the chasm between the seventh and eighth layers is truly immense."

"I have merely cultivated the Great Dao to the Mahayana realm, relying on the power of authority to fight. That Primordial Chaos Kui Bull, however, has long reached the seventh layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and has now forged a perfected Great Luo physique."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow, a trace of apprehension flickering across his face.

Eldrin had now gained profound insight into the cultivation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Upon attaining the Great Luo realm, an Immortal’s combat prowess largely resides in the authority of their Great Dao. Yet this does not mean other paths are inherently feeble.

As his cultivation deepened, an existence at the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal could reverse-cultivate both physical body and primordial spirit. Once both body and primordial spirit realms were refined to the Great Luo late-stage, his combat prowess would experience a greater enhancement.

Taking the Great Luo Physique as an example, it consists of 9 distinct layers. With each advancement through these layers, 1’s physical strength undergoes a tremendous leap forward.

Once the Great Luo Physique was cultivated to perfection, it would already become a pivotal combat force. If 1 could advance to the ninth and consummate stage, they would then possess power comparable to the authority of the Great Dao.

Some beings who specialize in cultivating the Great Luo Body, having perfected it to the ninth and ultimate layer, find that their combat prowess—when augmented by bloodline divine abilities—does not fall short of that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has attained the pinnacle of the Path of Dao.

However, due to the inherent conflict between their foundational principles, those who follow the Path of Palm Dao find it nearly impossible to cultivate Bloodline Divine Abilities upon reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm. At best, they can only achieve the Major Completion stage of the Great Perfection Golden Body, with the state of flawless perfection remaining eternally beyond their grasp.

"To tread the Path of the Palm and cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal of the Great Luo, 1 must compensate for their inherent shortcomings, achieving at least the Mahayana Realm in both physical body and primordial spirit."

"Only by compensating for 1's own shortcomings can 1 qualify to assail the realm of the Primordial Chaos Emperor."

Elder Immortal Donghua spoke slowly, then sighed and said, "That Primordial Heavenly Kui Ox has perfected his physical form to its peak. Combined with his mastery of the Great Dao of Violet Heaven Divine Thunder, his combat prowess ranks among the finest even amid the Great Roaming Immortals. He’s not far from achieving the Great Perfection of the Great Roaming Immortal realm."

"This time, my injuries were severe. It took me nearly 10 million years of recuperation to fully recover."

As he spoke, Immortal Lord Donghua took out a white jade purification bottle and handed it to Eldrin (Person Name), saying, "By the way, this item was always meant for you. Please forgive my discourtesy for delivering it only after several million years had passed."

Eldrin took the jade vial and glanced inside, finding a single immortal pill entwined with divine patterns of the Great Dao.

Great Luo Immortal Pill?

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin froze momentarily before asking, "Since the Great Luo Immortal Elixir is so precious, why would you bestow it upon me, fellow Daoist?"

"This low-grade Great Luo Immortal Pill was refined from the Great Luo physique of the Chaos Demon God 'Crimson Antelope Demon God' after it was slain."

Lord Donghua spoke with measured grace, then continued, "This batch yielded a total of 3 pills. I've specifically reserved 1 for you, Fellow Daoist, as compensation for the intelligence you provided."

At this point, Immortal Lord Donghua continued, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need for modesty. Had it not been for your warning back then, not only would we have failed to slay the Crimson Ibex Demon God, but we would likely have suffered heavy losses under the enemy's surprise attack."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) finally nodded and accepted the Great Luo Immortal Pill (Elixir).

He understood the logic in Elder Hua's words—in a fair duel, it was difficult for Da Luo experts to decide life and death through combat alone. Yet the presence or absence of preparedness often became the very pivot upon which both parties' fates would turn.

Had it not been for his warning back then, several surrounding immortal domains would have been severely devastated by the sudden assault.

Of course, Eldrin (Person Name) must be warned regardless, for no egg remains unbroken when the nest is overturned. Should the surrounding immortal domains suffer devastating blows, Eldrin (Person Name) would inevitably be forced to join the fray.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "Now that I have this information, I certainly won't stand by with folded hands."

Donghua Immortal Lord (Person Name) smiled meaningfully. "For you to have obtained such classified intelligence in advance, Fellow Daoist, you truly have eyes and ears that reach the heavens."

Eldrin smiled without a word, knowing full well that the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord had likely surmised something. Yet the 2 of them maintained their tacit understanding without another word.

Eldrin continued his conversation with the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord. The 2 conversed for a long while, both finding great delight in their exchange.

Just as Immortal Lord Donghua was about to depart, Eldrin suddenly recalled something and inquired, "Brother, you have attained the Dao for many years. I wonder if you know of any special methods to obtain this Primordial Indestructible Radiance?"

"You lack the innate Indestructible Spirit Light," Lord Donghua said with a faint smile.

"Indeed, who doesn't lack this?"

Eldrin nodded, a trace of helplessness flickering across his face.

After breaking through to the Great Luo Realm, Eldrin finally understood how exceedingly rare the Primordial Indestructible Radiance was.

Having cultivated to this day, Eldrin had integrated 5 strands of innate indestructible radiance into his physical body, grand dao, primordial spirit, and dao fruit respectively. Combined with the Abyssal Seal and 5 ancient world-trees, the innate indestructible radiance he had expended amounted to as many as 30 strands.

To advance further in cultivation, the consumption of resources would become even more staggering.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, each foundational strand would likely require dozens of strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance to break through the Middle and Late stages of the Great Luo Realm.

Though I have only just stepped into the Grand Luo Realm, it is time to make some preparations in advance.

Most crucially, the final 3 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance were bestowed upon Lyra. Back when Eldrin sought to assist Lyra in refining her Numinous Treasure of True Spirit, he had even swallowed his pride to borrow 2 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance from the Black Abyss Emperor.

With no provisions at hand and external debts to repay, Eldrin began devising plans to obtain the Primordial Undying Radiance.

"Innate Indestructible Radiance is indeed a necessity for Great Luo beings like us."

Lord Donghua spoke, a tinge of helplessness coloring his sigh. "However, the Primordial Immortal Light is indeed exceedingly rare. Apart from its role in establishing immortal domains, it can only be nurtured within Chaos Nests of the Grand Luo Realm or higher."

"In other words, the only way to obtain it is by assaulting the Chaos Nest?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.

Donghua Immortal Lord (Person Name) nodded slightly before speaking, "In truth, due to innate foundational limitations, even a Great Perfection-level Chaos Nest (Cultivation Realm) can only produce a finite amount of Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light (Cultivation Concept)."

Generally speaking, a low-grade Great Luo Nest can give birth to 9 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance, a mid-grade Great Luo Nest can produce 30 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance, while a superior-grade Great Luo Nest can yield up to 80-1 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance.

At this point, Immortal Lord Donghua finally added, "Lower-grade Great Perfection Nests offer limited resources, yet both medium-grade and superior-grade Great Perfection Nests prove challenging to conquer."

Eldrin finally understood that the number of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Lights born from the Chaos Nest was finite, causing him to subtly furrow his brow.

Once a sufficient number of Innate Indestructible Spirit Lights had been conceived, it would thenceforth become an ordinary Great Luo Dao Field, never again capable of giving birth to Innate Indestructible Spirit Lights.

In that case, obtaining the Primordial Indestructible Radiance would likely become even more challenging.

Observing his expression, Eastern Glory Immortal Lord (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "In truth, there are indeed other methods to obtain substantial amounts of Primordial Indestructible Radiance (Cultivation Resource)."

"Oh."

A glint flashed in Eldrin (Person Name)'s eyes as he instinctively asked, "Fellow practitioner, please speak."

Elder Immortal Donghua nodded slightly before speaking, "The chaos is boundless and infinite, worlds emerge and perish in uncertainty, and so it is with the Chaos Nests."

"As far as I know, within the primordial chaos, Chaos Nests are destroyed every single moment, while new ones continuously gestate and emerge into existence."

Within the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss lies a Chaos Boundary Sea, a realm dedicated to nurturing Chaos Nests. There, countless Chaos Nests take form, and some even evolve into the Chaos Origin-grade—those capable of birthing beings rivaling the Primordial Chaos Emperors.

There were thousands upon thousands of innate indestructible lights there, and some even witnessed the emergence of Primordial Beginning Qi (Primordial Energy).

Lord Donghua spoke with measured grace, finally stating, "The Chaos Boundary Sea was formed through the great metamorphosis of the primordial chaos cycle by Dorian. It has remained sealed by the Great Dao of Chaos for countless ages, and shall not emerge until the Chaos Nest has fully gestated."

After the formation of the Primordial Chaos Sea, outsiders could now enter it to seek opportunities.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but show a flicker of desire in his eyes.

Lord Donghua, however, shook his head and finally spoke, "The Chaos Boundary Sea is a rare opportunity, yet none can predict when it will emerge into the world."

"Most crucially, those Primordial Indestructible Luminescences and Primordial Commencement Qi are treasures worth fighting for even among Chaos Origin Immortal Emperors. Without the cultivation of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal, entering that realm would be akin to seeking your own demise."

Hearing this, Eldrin frowned slightly.

In this moment, Eldrin grew to understand the merciless cruelty that dwelled within the primordial chaos.

Even within the chaos, it was always the few who seized the vast majority of resources.

It was not that resources were insufficient within the primordial chaos, but rather that the vast majority of them were likely monopolized by an extremely small number of high-level cultivators.

Although there are tens of thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals across the 3 1000 immortal domains, the combined wealth of these tens of thousands of immortals may not rival that of a single Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Even a 1000 ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals, with all the treasures in their possession combined, might not match the value of a single innate supreme treasure spear wielded by the Black Abyss Emperor.

True experts are those who have seized control of nearly all resources, and it is precisely this that enables them to break through to the supreme realm.

Take Eldrin (Person Name) for example—he could relocate thousands of chaotic nests to forge a Chaos Heavenly Domain, nurturing tens of thousands of Chaos Beast Kings to fuel his cultivation.

However, even if an ordinary Heavenly Immortal expert were to conquer a Chaos Nest, they would lack the capability to hold it as their own. At most, they could only plunder it once before retreating.

On the contrary, Eldrin took it away directly, enabling it to continuously produce Primordial Qi until its origin was completely depleted.

"It seems that enhancing 1's strength remains the priority. Only by growing more powerful can 1 obtain greater resources."

"If we truly cannot gather enough Primordial Undying Light, then we shall have to cultivate using the Primordial Primordial Chaos Light instead."

Eldrin’s thoughts flickered rapidly before he finally clasped his hands toward the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord. "Many thanks for your guidance, Fellow Daoist. I understand now."

Donghua Immortal Lord (Person Name) nodded, then said with a smile, "With your foundation, there's no need to take excessive risks. Simply cultivate steadily until you reach the late-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm—that should grant you combat prowess comparable to a peak Great Perfection expert."

"When the time comes for the Chaos Boundary Sea to emerge, I may then be qualified to set foot within it."

"We, the Great Luo Golden Immortals, possess endless lifespans and are beyond the cycle of reincarnation. It seems we shall have all the time in the world hereafter."

Eldrin smiled faintly, acknowledging Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord's perspective. After all, he was not the Violet Immortal Lord—he must break through to the Chaos Realm at all costs before others discovered his secret. (End of Chapter)
