Chapter 1921 : Chance Encounter, Zao Hua Ding

"The time is about right."

Until this day, Eldrin ended his secluded cultivation.

Over the course of tens of millions of years, Eldrin's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Though he had yet to set foot in the third level of the Primordial Chaos, he had still made considerable progress.

On this day, Eldrin summoned Lyra, Seraphina Qu, and Lulu to the main hall. Glancing at the list in his hand, he said, "By my reckoning, the Snow Soul Immortal Lord is about to awaken. This time, we must go and lend a hand."

Lyra nodded upon hearing this and said, "It is indeed time to act, but should we seek a few more allies?"

Eldrin shook his head and sighed, "The Immortal Shell Clan has no shortage of enemies. If we carelessly let this information slip, I fear unforeseen complications may arise."

"This time, let us conceal our tracks and strike without a sound."

Seraphina Qu nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Although Eldrin had made quite a few acquaintances over the years, the vast majority were not truly kindred spirits. Without the bond forged through shared battles, there was indeed a risk of information being leaked.

At this thought, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) spoke, "This time, for the sake of our Immortal Shell Clan’s affairs, I’ve troubled you, my sisters."

Lyra smiled faintly, taking her hand as she said, "Between sisters like us, why stand on ceremony?"

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) rose to his feet and declared, "Then let us depart without delay."

Before parting, Eldrin recalled his Samsara Avatar and ventured deep into the chaos.

It is worth mentioning that over the years, the Reincarnation Body had refined 3 Great Luo Immortal Pills, along with a considerable amount of Soul-Nourishing Wood and various other resources. His cultivation had already broken through to the second level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After this breakthrough, the Reincarnation Body's strength had increased yet again.

The Reincarnated Body possessed the Primordial Chaos Saint Body, its inherent power already astonishingly formidable, rivaling those legendary prodigies who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation. Enhanced by the 10 Great Immortal Treasures and the Inner Immortal Domain, its current strength had reached truly staggering levels.

According to Eldrin (Person Name)'s estimation, an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal of the sixth level would likely be no match for the Reincarnation Body.

Of course, this level of strength still paled in comparison to the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, as reaching the sixth layer of Great Luo Golden Immortal could still be achieved through sheer decades of arduous cultivation.

Yet, those capable of cultivating to the Seventh Level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal were no ordinary beings. Such peerless Immortal Lords had generally forged at least 1 Indestructible Foundation.

Most crucially, those who break through to the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm would restore their physical bodies, primordial spirits, and other foundational aspects, thereby compensating for their deficiencies to charge toward higher realms.

In fact, not only those at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but even some top-tier experts at the sixth level of Great Luo Golden Immortal might begin cultivating their physical body and primordial spirit to fortify their foundational roots.

Particularly for those who had remained at the Sixth Heaven of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm yet spent thousands, or even tens of thousands, of kalpas without advancing further, most would cultivate their physical bodies and primordial spirits to enhance their combat prowess.

These senior Golden Immortals of the Great Perfection, who have cultivated both their physical bodies and primordial spirits to the sixth level of the Golden Immortal realm, often possess extraordinarily formidable combat prowess—some even barely qualify to engage in solo combat against those at the seventh level of the Golden Immortal realm.

Though they barely possessed the qualification to fight alone, with virtually no chance of victory, such beings could often unleash forbidden divine abilities capable of mutual destruction against Seventh-Level Great Luo Golden Immortals...

Thus, even some late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals might be unwilling to provoke those senior mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Eldrin thought that the current strength of his reincarnated form likely still could not compare to those top-tier, long-established Golden Immortals of the mid Great Perfection stage.

For those beings who have lived through tens of thousands of cosmic kalpas have long accumulated astonishing contingencies over the eons. It is even highly probable that they possess trump cards capable of threatening late-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortals, and owning a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is likewise a plausible reality.

"The longer 1 lives, the more astonishing the accumulated foundation is bound to become."

"Unless the cultivation of the Samsara Body advances further, and its raw power achieves greater growth, only then would it possess combat prowess comparable to his, I suppose?"

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then swiftly suppressed the thought.

He tore through the primordial chaos, leading the group deeper into its unfathomable depths.

The Heartrending Abyss lay exceedingly far from the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. They had traversed the span of dozens of Dao Domains, yet still found vast stretches of territory separating them from the Heartrending Abyss.

"So incredibly far away."

In the midst of chaos, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) gazed at the map in her hand and could not help but sigh with emotion.

Along the way, they had traversed dozens of Dao Domains. In the first few domains, they still discovered immortal sanctuaries established by the human race.

However, for the next several dozen Dao Domains, every region they passed through was entirely the territory of the Chaos Gods, with no trace of human Immortal Domains to be seen.

Though the Primordial Immortal Realm was vast, compared to the Boundless Chaos, it was but a lone island amidst the endless expanse.

"As for the Primordial Immortal Realm we established, it is at most a lone leaf drifting upon the vast and boundless Chaotic Sea."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a trace of wistfulness unconsciously coloring his expression.

It is undeniable that throughout the Primordial Chaos and even the Chaos Sea, the Chaos Fiendgods and Ancient Chaos Beasts are the sole dominant forces.

In comparison, the tens of thousands of Great Perfected Immortals scattered across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains were but a drop in the boundless chaos—truly insignificant.

The primordial domain closest to the 3,000 celestial realms lies a distance of 3 100 dao domains away. Most of these dao domains are chaotic wastelands, where the turbulent chaos currents are too violent to nurture any semblance of life.

Eldrin gazed at the intelligence before him, a slight frown creasing his brow. "Only near the Primordial Domain, or where Chaos-grade Chaos Nests reside, do the ocean currents grow more placid," he murmured. "Such conditions are far more conducive to nurturing Ancient Chaos Beasts and Chaos Fiends."

At this point, Eldrin continued, "Resources throughout the Chaos are not evenly distributed. Most of them converge around the major primordial domains or Chaos Nests of the Hunyuan level."

Especially the Primordial Beginning Qi and the Chaos Beginning Qi, which almost exclusively manifest within the Primal Domains and Chaos-grade Chaos Nests.

To obtain the unclaimed Primordial Chaos Qi and Primordial Innate Qi drifting within the Chaos Sea...

Eldrin shook his head, a trace of helplessness involuntarily coloring his expression.

Within the Chaos Sea, there drift unattended Primordial Qi and occasionally ownerless Primordial Indestructible Radiance. This is precisely why countless rogue cultivators strive to attain the Dao and become Great Luo Golden Immortals.

However, unclaimed Primordial Qi and Chaos Primordial Qi were far too rare. It wasn't that they absolutely didn't exist, but encountering them could only be described as a 1-in-a-million kalpas occurrence.

Throughout the 7 domains of the Southern Abyss, there were indeed others who had obtained unclaimed Primordial Beginning Qi. However, according to recorded history, only a single individual had ever acquired unclaimed Chaos Beginning Qi—that very Ant Emperor.

It is said that wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi drifted from the depths of chaos, stirring frenzy among countless Great Luo Golden Immortals and even innumerable Chaos Origin Emperors. In the end, the Ant Emperor, wielding the 9 True Spirit Divine Forms, swept across all directions, successfully seizing the Primordial Chaos Qi to achieve sainthood through physical ascension.

"Beware, it's the Chaos Tide."

Just as Eldrin’s thoughts wavered, Lyra suddenly spoke up in warning.

Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly. Without hesitation, he shielded everyone with his Primordial Chaos Qi technique and gazed intently into the chaotic expanse ahead.

At the end of the chaos before them, an immense vortex of primordial energy ceaselessly devoured and expelled the tides of chaos.

This vortex was incomparably vast, a 100 times more expansive than even a celestial realm. Wherever it passed, even Chaos Nests of the Great Perfection level were swept into its depths, vanishing in the blink of an eye into the distant ends of the void.

"Be careful."

Eldrin spoke, his expression abruptly shifting as he said,

He immediately restrained the crowd and flew toward the chaotic void in the farther distance.

Such an immense vortex of chaos generated an astonishing force of suction. Even a being at the Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm, once caught within it, could be utterly annihilated into dust.

Even with slightly better fortune, 1 would be swept into unknown realms of time and space, likely emerging in another chaotic domain beyond the 7 Realms of the Southern Abyss.

Eldrin led the group in continuous flight, traversing vast distances before finally breaking free from the chaotic vortex's pull. Gazing upon the swirling abyss before them, he remarked with palpable trepidation,

"Such a colossal vortex of chaos—to think the regions beyond the Primordial Domain could be so perilous."

Lyra (Person Name) also took a deep breath before speaking, "Within the boundless Chaotic Sea, such vortices are hardly uncommon. You must understand—not all realms possess the relative safety surrounding the Primal Domains."

Eldrin nodded slightly, then suddenly seemed to notice something and couldn't help but exclaim, "What's that?"

Everyone looked up and saw a dazzling sphere of light swirling within the chaotic vortex, radiating power that illuminated the heavens as it resisted the vortex's pull.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) examined it carefully before speaking, "It's a small white jade cauldron, clearly something extraordinary."

"It must be a rare innate treasure to withstand the pull of the Chaos Vortex."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke, his voice measured, "I shall employ my divine abilities to see if I can draw this object away."

As the words fell, Eldrin flicked his sleeve and summoned the 5-colored divine light to soar skyward. In an instant, the radiant hues tore through the primordial chaos, seizing the small white jade cauldron.

"Bzzz—"

But in that very instant, Eldrin felt an overwhelming force surge forth, threatening to drag him into the chaotic vortex.

Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of this force was blocked by the small white jade cauldron, allowing Eldrin (Person Name) to steady his stance.

Most crucially, the small white jade cauldron seemed to perceive Eldrin's assistance and actually began cooperating fully, seeking to harness this momentum for its departure.

But at that very moment, the vortex's power grew increasingly immense, as if intending to devour all forces and sweep away the small white jade cauldron. Even with Eldrin and the cauldron joining their strength, they remained unable to break free.

For a time, both sides found themselves locked in a stalemate....

"We are here to aid you."

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) immediately unleashed 5-colored divine light and 9-colored immortal light, summoning them onto the small cauldron.

The Samsara Body unleashed the Great Dao of Time and Space, its overwhelming temporal power severing this chaotic realm and forcibly disrupting the operation of the chaotic vortex.

Though it lasted only a fleeting moment, the interference was enough to shatter the delicate balance between the 2 sides.

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin swept the white jade cauldron into his grasp and instantly tore through the primordial chaos, carrying the entire group away with him.

"Run!"

In the instant the few figures vanished, the chaotic vortex trembled violently before erupting in a cataclysmic explosion.

Ah, the Cauldron of Creation!

At the end of the chaotic vortex, within an unknown realm of primordial chaos, a white-haired elder gazed upon the dissipating whirlpool before him and let out a roar of unparalleled fury.

At that moment, a world-shaking killing intent flashed in the white-haired elder's eyes: "Damnable little thief! How dare you ruin this venerable 1's path to enlightenment! Whoever you are, I shall grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes to the wind!"

Meanwhile, Eldrin traversed the void with 3 companions, flying an immeasurable distance through ruptured space.

After a long while, when they had completely distanced themselves from the chaotic vortex, Eldrin let out a sigh of relief and said, "That was truly perilous."

Lyra also took a deep breath, her voice tinged with lingering fear as she said, "That chaotic vortex... it seemed to be man-made."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several individuals shifted subtly.

A chaotic vortex capable of devouring a Great Perfected Golden Immortal—if this were man-made, then the perpetrator’s power would likely be far more terrifying than 1 could imagine.

Eldrin did not reply. With utmost care, he retrieved the small white jade cauldron, meticulously examining and calculating for a moment before his expression shifted slightly. "It's actually this artifact," he murmured.

Cauldron of Creation.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) couldn't help but take a deep breath before asking, "What profound mysteries does this artifact hold?"

This Cauldron of Creation is a connate cardinal treasure, capable of defying fate and reforging 1's foundation.

Eldrin spoke slowly, his expression grave. "This cauldron is an innate creation treasure of the highest order. It can assist immortals in reforging their foundations, with effects even more potent than the Undying Immortal Pond."

"By using this to rebuild 1's foundation, the potential attained would be even greater. An ordinary 9-Limit Foundation, if reconstructed with this artifact and supplemented with rare innate marvels, could very likely cultivate into an 11-Limit Indestructible Foundation."

Moreover, the more powerful the treasure used to rebuild 1's foundation, the more astonishing the resulting innate foundation would ultimately become.

At this point, Eldrin paused briefly before continuing, "Most crucially, this object was formed from the division of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure—the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron."

"Formed from the division of the Cosmos Creation Cauldron?"

At this moment, even Lyra's expression shifted slightly.

She took a deep breath before speaking, "That Cosmic Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure) possesses an extraordinary origin. Originally ranked first among the 10 Chaos Spiritual Treasures of the Primordial Realm in the Immortal Cosmos, its grade reaches the Mid-Level Chaos Spiritual Treasure, embodying a creation so profound it eclipses all past and present marvels."

"It is said that the Qiankun Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure) can refine the essence of Primordial Primordial Qi, transforming it into Chaos Primordial Qi. Although the conversion rate is extremely low, it is still considered a heaven-defying creation."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but slightly change his expression.

The value of the Primordial Chaos Qi went without saying. As for the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron, its profound wonders were self-evident—even with the lowest conversion rate, its worth needed no explanation.

At that very moment, Lyra (Person Name) suddenly spoke up: "When the Primordial Domain of the Celestial Realm was destroyed in ancient times, the Cosmic Creation Cauldron was cleaved in 2 by that single sword strike. Since then, it has divided into 2 innate supreme treasures—the Cosmic Cauldron and the Creation Cauldron."

Later, the Cauldron of Creation vanished without a trace, while the Qiankun Cauldron was obtained by the Elder of Qiankun.

That Elder Qiankun was a Demi-Saint from the Primordial Realm of the Immortal Cosmos. Long before the destruction of the Primordial Realm, his cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection stage of the Chaos Origin Emperor Monarch, with half a step even crossing into the realm of a Chaos Immortal Sage.

Today, he ranks among the 10 Great Paragons of the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss, hailed as invincible throughout the realm should the Celestial Emperor remain in seclusion. His power eclipses even that of the Black Abyss Emperor.

At this point, Lyra (Person Name) finally took a deep breath and said, "Even at the peak of my previous life, I would have only had a 60 percent chance of defeating him."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin grew even more solemn.

You must understand that Lyra's previous incarnation was none other than the destined Chaos God Emperor, revered as the fourth God Emperor of the divine race.

If not for the scheming of the Sun Celestial Emperor back then, Lyra (Person Name) would likely have already become the Lunar Divine Sovereign. Yet even such a formidable figure only had a 60 percent certainty of defeating the Elder of Heaven and Earth, which shows that this Daoist of Heaven and Earth truly possesses extraordinary combat prowess.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "It seems we've made a formidable enemy this time."

Even so, Eldrin felt no regret.

With a faint smile gracing his lips, he then spoke, "This Cauldron of Creation represents the greatest opportunity for Lila (Person Name) and Violet Ji to prove their Dao and attain the Great Luo."

"This treasure is of unimaginable value. So what if we incur the wrath of Eldrin for it?"

Lyra also nodded slightly and could not help but remark, "Although the Cauldron of Creation has fallen in grade, it retains the complete Great Dao of Primordial Chaos and Creation."

"A divine object of this caliber is far beyond comparison with ordinary Primordial Treasures. To some extent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an auxiliary Chaos Spiritual Treasure. What does incurring the wrath of that Qiankun Patriarch amount to, when measured against obtaining such an artifact?"

Seraphina Qu also nodded, yet cautiously advised, "This treasure is far too precious. Our immediate priority should be to conceal all knowledge of it."

Eldrin nodded, enveloping it with primordial chaos energy before employing the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang Celestial Dao to obscure its heavenly secrets. Finally, he summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to draw it into the nameless dimension.

After completing all this, Eldrin resolved that he must never reveal the Cauldron of Creation in the future.

As for that Primordial Chaos Ancestor, Eldrin was not particularly fearful. After all, their confrontation had occurred across the endless chaos, making it difficult for the other party to trace his origins through the misty veil of primordial energy.

Even if 1 day, the Heavenly Dao Ancestor were to learn that the Cauldron of Creation was in Eldrin's possession, his first reaction would likely be to seal off the news, ensuring no 1 would discover the artifact had reemerged into the world.

For if the Cauldron of Creation did not fall into the hands of the Heaven and Earth Ancestor, it would likely bring upon him a calamity of death.

Across the 13 Domains of the Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss, there were dozens of Chaos Heavenly Emperors combined, yet only the Otherworldly Demon Emperor possessed a single mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Once such a peerless treasure emerges into the world, only those who have attained the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm would possess the cultivation base necessary to guard it....

Whoever discovered the emergence of the Creation Cauldron would, while plotting to seize it, immediately use the cauldron’s power to locate the position of the Primordial Chaos Ancestor.

At that time, the Cosmic Creation Cauldron would either have to abandon the Cosmic Cauldron or face the pursuit of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Thus, Eldrin would never divulge any information about the Cauldron of Creation, while the Ancestral Sovereign of Heaven and Earth on the other side dared even less to reveal the secrets of the Cauldron of Creation.

"I have concealed the Cauldron of Creation within the nameless void where the Abyssal Pearl resides. Even with the Cosmic Cauldron in your possession, I presume you cannot trace its location."

A faint smile surfaced in Eldrin's heart as he murmured to himself.

He slowly exhaled a breath, then gazed into the depths of the chaos and said, "Encountering that Chaos Vortex this time has delayed us for a while."

"With the Snow Soul Immortal Lord soon to awaken, we must not waste any more time. Let us depart swiftly."

As he spoke, Eldrin immediately traversed the primordial chaos, heading straight for the Heartrending Abyss. Before he knew it, he had finally arrived at the edge of the Heartrending Abyss.

At this moment, Lyra (Person Name) counted on her fingers and spoke, "There are still 3 million years until the revival. It seems we haven't arrived too late."

Eldrin nodded and led the group deep into the chaos, cautiously arriving at the place where Snowsoul Immortal Lord had fallen.

The moment he stepped into the Heartrending Abyss, Eldrin immediately sensed an overwhelmingly domineering aura rushing toward him—a surge of spiritual power so tyrannical it seemed to radiate an eternal, indomitable ferocity.

Even though its master had perished for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, this magical power remained incomparably proud.

Yes, pride.

This surge of spiritual power seemed to carry an innate arrogance.

It transcended all mortal magic, stepping into an indescribable supreme realm—a forbidden power that had touched the domain of primordial chaos.

Eldrin was astonished to discover that this magical power carried a contempt for all living beings, seemingly eroding their flesh, blood, and bones incessantly. Even his own Chaos Indestructible Body had suffered a degree of corrosion.

If 1 were to cultivate in the Heartrending Abyss for an extended period, Eldrin suspected that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would likely suffer severe injuries from the erosion of this mystical power. The energy here seemed saturated with ominous death qi.

"Woo woo woo..."

At that very moment, a spine-chilling weeping sound emerged from the depths of the chaos.

Eldrin looked up to see a bizarre demonic deity covered in crimson fur weeping bitterly, its piercing wail echoing, "The Emperor has fallen, the Emperor has fallen!"

"The end is nigh, all realms shall perish, every 1 of us is doomed to die, doomed..."

"Chaos Demon God tainted by magical power."

Eldrin spoke, a slight frown creasing his brow. "Would even the primordial soul of a Chaos Demon God be corroded by this deathly energy to the point of losing all reason?"

The place where 1 fails to prove their path to the Heavenly Emperor is always steeped in strangeness.

After a long silence, Lyra (Person Name) finally spoke, "Be cautious. Legends say that deep within the Heartrending Abyss, there exist dangers even the Primordial Emperor would not dare to touch."

Eldrin nodded slightly. Fortunately, the Snow Soul Emperor had perished in the outer reaches of the Heartrending Abyss, where the death energy remained relatively sparse and the core of the chasm lay immeasurably distant.

They were at least several Dao Domains away from the heart of the Shattered Heart Ancient Abyss. As long as they didn't linger for too long, it shouldn't pose any significant impact.

It was at this moment that Eldrin began to survey his surroundings.

Only then did he realize that 7 Chaos Fiendgods had already been waiting for a long time at the place where the Snow Soul Emperor had fallen.

These 7 Chaos Fiendgods were all cultivating within the Cleaved Heart Ancient Abyss. They either possessed unique talents that rendered them fearless against the deathly energies, or they were Chaos Fiendgods who practiced extraordinary Great Daos.

Eldrin discovered that among these 7 Chaos Fiendgods, 3 were at the mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while 4 were at the early-stage. However, none had reached the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Eldrin had anticipated this very outcome. After all, there were scarcely any cultivators at the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm within the Heartrending Abyss.

Even a Golden Immortal of the late stage would disdain the meager resources from Snow Soul Immortal Lord’s revival.

Even though the Snow Soul Immortal Lord's cultivation had reached the Sixth Heaven of the Golden Immortal Realm, his newly awakened Golden Immortal body was merely at the initial stage. His primordial spirit, Great Dao comprehension, and cultivation base were all in their most vulnerable state.

To fully restore all of his strength, he still required vast resources and considerable time.

It could be said that the meager resources left behind by the fallen Snowsoul Immortal Lord were utterly insignificant to a Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo Realm in the late stage—hardly worth venturing into the Heartrending Abyss to confront.
