Chapter 1924 : Forging a New Foundation

Eldrin also gave a slight nod. The secret technique of the Snow Soul Immortal Lord had considerable merit.

Harnessing the power of 100 Calamities Unbroken, he emerged reborn from utter destruction, comprehending the art of Cocoon-to-Butterfly Metamorphosis. This path alone could shatter the inherent limits of his being.

Snowsoul Immortal Lord was originally a Sixth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal. The reason he had accumulated over 1 100 1000 kalpas yet remained unable to break through to the late Great Luo Golden Immortal stage was primarily due to the limitations imposed by his bloodline.

In truth, this holds true for all Primordial Divinities. The ultimate limit of their cultivation is intrinsically tied to their bloodline potential. Breaking through these constraints is far more arduous than achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the path of celestial cultivation.

Even Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and the 9-Colored Immortal Deer (Spirit Beast), despite their cultivation advancing rapidly with the aid of their innate origins and bloodlines while facing far fewer bottlenecks in breaking through realms, would find it exceptionally arduous to advance further once they reached the inherent limits of their bloodline.

Of course, their potential was extraordinarily high, capable of reaching sublime realms far beyond the grasp of ordinary mortals.

Generally speaking, those who rely on bloodline and innate foundations will ultimately find themselves shackled by their own heritage.

The 100 Tribulations Butterfly Metamorphosis Art possessed the ability to shatter the limits of 1’s bloodline—truly a remarkable quality that could be considered extraordinary and undeniably exceptional.

At this thought, Eldrin placed this secret art into the clan treasury and said, "For the innate saints of our clan, this scroll of profound art holds considerable merit."

"I have placed it in the clan treasury. You may study and contemplate it during your leisure hours in the future."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, offering no further words.

With matters here concluded, everyone departed to cultivate in seclusion, while Eldrin (Person Name) entered the meditation chamber to begin alchemical refinement.

This time, having slain the Heavenly Bull Demon God, Eldrin could once again light the furnace to refine a batch of Great Luo Immortal Pills—an indispensable resource for his cultivation.

This time, Eldrin and Lyra collaborated once again in alchemy, jointly refining this batch of Great Luo Immortal Pills. With their combined mastery of pill refinement, the success rate was naturally exceptionally high.

In just tens of thousands of years, they successfully refined the Great Luo Immortal Pills, producing a total of 3 pills.

Eldrin distributed 1 of the 3 Great Luo Immortal Pills each to Seraphina Qu and Lyra, then proceeded to process the skeletal remains and hide of the Celestial Bull Demon God.

The Chaos Fiend was a treasure trove from head to toe—its bones could be forged into magic treasures, while its hide could be refined into Great Luo divine talismans.

The Heavenly Ox Demon God had remained stagnant at the early-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm for many years, unable to make a breakthrough. Having long since integrated the Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light into his demonic body, his achieved Great Perfection form could be considered exceptionally formidable.

After the 2 had finished processing everything, they obtained a total of 9 sheets of Lower Grade Daluo Talisman Paper and 1 piece of Lower Grade Daluo Divine Bone.

Because the Great Perfection Physique had integrated the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, these Great Perfection Talismans and Divine Bones were truly extraordinary. They already contained the power of partial innate divine objects, making their value far surpass that of ordinary Great Perfection treasures.

If used to forge a Great Luo Divine Talisman or a Great Luo Divine Weapon, its power would already reach the realm of an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, given the limited nature of this power, the Great Luo Divine Talismans and Great Luo Divine Artifacts forged through it could only be used once or a limited number of times. Once the energy contained within was depleted, they would lose their divine efficacy.

"The Great Luo Physique of the Chaos Demon God is truly extraordinary in its might."

After dealing with the remains of the Heavenly Bull Demon God, Lyra (Person Name) could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Eldrin also gave a slight nod. It was worth noting that even when he had slain the Crimson Mastiff Demon Lord, he had not obtained materials suitable for crafting Great Luo Talisman Paper and Great Luo Divine Bone.

The fundamental reason was that the physical body of the Crimson Mastiff Demon Lord was not strong enough.

Although the cultivation of Demon Lord Chi'ao had reached the Fifth Heaven of the Golden Immortal Realm, his strength far surpassing that of the Heavenly Bull Demon God, when it came to physical body prowess, he was no match for the Heavenly Bull Demon God.

Although the Scarlet Mastiff Demon Lord had also attained the form of a Great Luo, his physical cultivation realm was not particularly high. It was only through the nourishment of his physical body by the Dao and his magical power that he was able to achieve such an extraordinary and surging vitality and blood essence.

But when it came to true quality, it likely couldn't compare to the Heavenly Bull Demon God. Thus, its bones and fur weren't considered precious—at the very least, Eldrin found them unworthy of his attention.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but remark, "Most Chaos Fiends possess extraordinary physical forms. Once we attain sufficient power in the future, we might devise plans to confront them."

Lyra nodded without saying another word.

Seeing this, Eldrin handed the talisman papers to Lyra and said, "With these talisman papers, Milady can inscribe some Great Luo Divine Talismans to serve as the clan's foundational assets."

Lyra nodded. Due to limited energy, Eldrin had not studied talisman techniques for many years. Currently, her mastery of talisman creation was the highest, though she had yet to reach the Great Perfection Realm.

With these 9 talismans, Lyra's Talisman Crafting Art might advance yet another step.

After storing the talisman paper, Lyra (Person Name) was about to depart when she turned back to inquire, "In this cosmic tribulation, will Violet Enchantress and Lila (Person Name) be drawn into the calamity?"

Eldrin (Person Name)闻言微微沉吟，如果没有得到造化鼎的话，那么宴紫姬和Lila (Person Name)短时间以内还无法突破大罗之境。

Now that I have obtained the Cauldron of Creation, perhaps I can attempt to breach the Great Perfection Realm during this kalpa tribulation.

At this thought, Eldrin contemplated and said, "Let us first examine the mysteries of the Cauldron of Creation before making a decision."

As he spoke, Eldrin summoned both Yan Zi Ji and Lila to his side.

Husband.

Seeing Eldrin (Person Name), both women stepped forward with joyful expressions.

Looking at the 2 of them, a faint smile surfaced on Eldrin's face as he remarked, "After over 1 100 million years of secluded cultivation, while Yan ZiJi and Lila's cultivation bases haven't broken through to the 8 Calamity Ancient Immortal realm, their true combat prowess has grown increasingly astonishing."

Lila digested the gains and opportunities from the previous 2 cosmic tribulations, having cultivated 3 indestructible foundations. Her strength and potential were now extraordinary even among the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals, with immense hope of attaining the Great Dao of Primordial Unity should she face the tribulation alone.

Yan Ziqi had also fully assimilated the opportunities she had previously encountered. Having obtained the Profound Heaven Purple Flame, she seized the chance to cultivate Indestructible Magic Power, thus elevating her overall strength to a higher level. She now possessed the 4 Great Indestructible Foundations.

"Not bad. It seems your progress has been quite substantial over these years."

Looking at Yan Zi Ji and Lila (Person Name) before him, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but smile faintly as he spoke.

Seeing this, Yan Zijie’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Now that you’ve returned, my husband, and summoned the 2 of us immediately, it seems your gains must be considerable."

Eldrin’s smile faded, and he spoke with solemn gravity, “This journey into the depths of the Chaos has granted me an extraordinary opportunity—1 that will allow me to rebuild the very foundation of your cultivation.”

"However, this opportunity carries significant karma. You must ensure this information doesn't leak out."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of both women shifted slightly. After exchanging a glance, Lila (Person Name) could not help but say, "If this might bring trouble, then perhaps it would be best to conceal the news for now—ideally, without even informing the 2 of us."

"It's not all that terrifying."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Follow me."

With those words, Eldrin led the 2 women into a forbidden zone within the Abyssal Return Immortal Domain.

This forbidden realm was a secret sanctuary Eldrin had established specifically to conceal his mysteries. It was filled with highly concentrated waters of primordial chaos, arranged through the Great Dao of Yin-Yang Stellar Derivation into an Inverted Yin-Yang Formation. This array could disrupt celestial calculations, rendering all divination attempts futile.

Eldrin had brought them here instead of the nameless space where the Abyssal Pearl resided primarily to conceal the pearl's secret.

After all, the Primal Cauldron could at most attract the covetous gaze of someone like Qiankun Elder, but once the Abyssal Pearl took form, even those at the third realm of Chaos would surely lust after it.

Upon arriving at the Abyssal Ruins, Eldrin immediately activated the local Concealment Array before solemnly retrieving the Cauldron of Creation.

"This is..."

The moment they laid eyes on the Cauldron of Creation, both women were visibly astonished.

With their level of discernment, they could not yet perceive the origins of the Cauldron of Creation, yet they vaguely understood it to be a supreme treasure beyond measure.

"This is the Creation Cauldron, a Primordial Treasure capable of reshaping 1's foundation and defying the heavens to alter fate."

Eldrin spoke, then turned his gaze to the 2 women before finally saying, "Ziji, you go first."

Yan ZiJi’s heart swelled with excitement, yet her expression remained solemn as she stepped into the great cauldron.

The moment Yan Zijie (Person Name) stepped into the Creation Cauldron (Magic Treasure), she was enveloped by boundless creative matter. Instantly, an astonishing power surged through her veins, ceaselessly refining her bloodline and fortifying her foundation.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, without external enhancements, this substance of creation could help Lady Yanzi's several Indestructible Foundations advance further, reaching the upper echelon of Indestructible Foundations.

It must be understood that even among Indestructible Foundations, there existed subtle yet discernible disparities.

Those who have forged an Indestructible Foundation can generally be categorized into several tiers: Common, Upper Echelon, Pinnacle, and Quasi-True Spirit.

When Eldrin first cultivated several Indestructible Foundations, he took successive strides upon this very basis, ultimately shattering his limits to establish the foundation of a True Spiritual Root.

These indestructible foundations appeared to have no qualitative gap between them, yet the accumulated differences were by no means insignificant, representing even greater potential for the future.

Those who, at the Primordial Emperor realm, compensated their foundational cultivation to achieve the True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) Foundation were at the very least individuals who had established an Upper-Tier Indestructible Foundation. Most had forged a Pinnacle Indestructible Foundation, and some had even attained a Half-Step True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) Foundation.

Yet for an ordinary Indestructible Foundation to cultivate a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation at the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm was nothing short of a fool’s fantasy—since time immemorial, no records had ever documented such a feat.

Yan Zi Ji’s Indestructible Foundation was originally only at the level of an ordinary Indestructible Foundation. Yet now, with the nourishment of the Cauldron of Creation, she has cultivated it into a top-tier Indestructible Foundation—truly extraordinary.

"An indestructible foundation in the Upper Reaches?"

Eldrin murmured softly, but ultimately gave a faint shake of his head.

With only the Indestructible Foundation of the Upper Reaches, the prospect of breaking through to become a Chaos Emperor in the future is not particularly great.

Which true Primordial Chaos Emperor is not a peerless figure who has fought their way through the Great Perfected Realm, dominating the primordial chaos with unmatched prowess?

Such an existence, having cultivated a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation is hardly considered rare, let alone a mere upper-tier Indestructible Foundation.

Fortunately, the Creation Cauldron could still dissolve innate divine materials, extracting their essence to rebuild the foundation of an immortal.

Eldrin pondered inwardly, then resolutely retrieved an array of divine artifacts.

He successively added over a dozen fire-attributed Daluo Odd Treasures, then paused in thought before retrieving a Great Dao Immortal Pill and placing it inside. Finally, he added the primary ingredient—the Purple Flame Immortal Marrow.

That Violetflame Immortal Marrow was a top-grade innate divine material, capable of being forged into a superior innate spiritual treasure. Now, refined within the Cauldron of Creation, it erupted with dazzling violet immortal flames as it was devoured.

A dozen or so peerless celestial treasures converged together, ultimately refined into a crucible of purest Primordial Violet Flame, slowly merging as 1 with Yan Ziji.

"Almost there."

As Eldrin watched these strands of the Dao’s essence being gradually absorbed by Violet Palace Princess, he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

In the end, he still summoned a Primordial Primordial Chaos Spirit Light, intending to merge it with Violet Banquet Princess.

But as he expelled the Primordial Immortal Radiance, the Creation Cauldron trembled violently, even developing an impulse to seize this very strand of Primordial Immortal Radiance.

"Absolutely not!"

Eldrin decisively halted the Cauldron of Creation and declared, "The Primordial Indestructible Radiance is exceedingly precious, yet it can no longer bring about a qualitative transformation for you."

"Yet if you prove your loyalty in serving me, when my cultivation breaks through to the realm of Chaos Heavenly Emperor, I shall bestow upon you a wisp of Primordial Inception Qi."

"Truly?"

Upon hearing Eldrin’s words, the Creation Cauldron was utterly astounded and could not help but exclaim, "Impossible! The Primordial Genesis Qi had already vanished since the Primordial Era. How could you possess such a treasure?"

Eldrin did not answer, merely smiling as he said, "If you agree to my terms, I can naturally acquire it for you when the time comes."

The Cauldron of Creation fell silent for a long moment before speaking. "The Primordial Beginning Qi is a supreme treasure from the dawn of chaos, rumored to possess inconceivable divine power—it can even elevate a Chaos Spiritual Treasure into a Chaos Supreme Treasure."

"Very well. Since you possess the Primordial Unbounded Radiance, I shall place my trust in you for now."

As the words faded, the Cauldron of Creation erupted with a light of unprecedented splendor, revealing within it a supreme strand of Creation Origin.

That strand of primordial providence manifested like a true dragon and celestial phoenix, coiling and swirling incessantly before surging into Seraphina Qu (Person Name). It ultimately condensed into a blindingly brilliant violet divine pattern that flowed into Yan Ziji’s body.

"This is..."

Eldrin (Person Name) felt a surge of astonishment in his heart, a flicker of confusion coloring his expression.

The Cauldron of Creation smiled faintly, then spoke calmly, "This is the Chaos Genesis Origin. I possess merely 9 portions remaining, each endowed with the divine power to defy fate and reshape destiny. Should this essence merge with the Chaos Primordial Origin, it can aid 1 in forging a foundation of the True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)."

"Alas, without the aid of that Primordial Chaos Origin, she could only cultivate a foundation that barely treads into the realm of a half-step True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)."

As these words were spoken, the Chaos Cauldron fell into a deep stillness, beginning to ceaselessly assist Lady Yanzi in reconstructing her foundation.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, hundreds of thousands of years had passed before Yan ZiJi leisurely stepped out from the Cauldron of Creation.

At this moment, Yan ZiJi's celestial grace had grown even more alluring and voluptuous, her willow-like waist appearing increasingly slender to the point of seeming impossible to grasp. Most crucially, her aura and elegance had undergone a heaven-and-earth transformation compared to years past.

Eldrin understood that the more flawless a cultivator's innate talent and the greater their potential, the more perfect their physical form and aura would become.

With such a rebirth-like transformation, Yan Zijie had clearly become a completely different person after this foundation rebuilding, far surpassing her former self.

The Bearing of the Primordial Chaos Emperor, no, this is...

Eldrin began to speak, then suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Draped in a sheer purple veil, Yan Zi spun gracefully in place before throwing herself into Eldrin's embrace.

Her soft and flawless figure sent a ripple of desire through Eldrin’s heart, but he swiftly regained his composure. He then regarded Lady Yan Zi with a measured gaze and remarked, “It seems that after this occasion, Madam is no longer the same as before.”

Yan Zijie smiled faintly, then nodded and said, "I have a feeling it won't be long before I can attempt to forge the foundation of a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)."

It turned out that after this foundation reshaping, Yan Ziji had cultivated 7 Indestructible Foundations, and all 7 had reached the pinnacle level of Supreme Indestructible Foundations.

His physical body, primordial spirit, and Great Dao had all reached the half-step True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation.

Most crucially, the Great Path of the Capital Celestial Purple Flames had even faintly stepped into the realm of True Spirits, separated only by that final sliver before a breakthrough.

At that very moment, the Cauldron of Creation spoke: "The Primordial Indestructible Radiance truly lives up to its name as a treasure born of primordial chaos. By merging with the Chaos Genesis Origin, it has actually helped her shatter the shackles binding the Path of True Spirit."

"I suspect it won't be long now. With just a modicum of external assistance, she should be able to achieve her breakthrough."
