Chapter 1935 : Pure Yin Qi
With this foundation in place, Eldrin continued his forging process, swiftly succeeding in crafting 6 low-grade Great Luo Divine Armors.
Among these 6 Great Luo Divine Armors, 3 had not integrated with the remnant bones, making their effects relatively ordinary. The 3 that had fused with the bones could be considered exceptional—if a cultivator at the early Great Luo stage wore 1, they would likely find no rivals within the same realm.
After that, Eldrin successfully forged 3 Medium-Grade Da Luo Divine Armors in succession.
The effect of this mid-grade Daluo Divine Armor was far superior. Not only did it possess exceptionally high defensive capabilities, its magic immunity was also remarkably outstanding.
Because the mid-grade Daluo Divine Armor could perfectly integrate with the Chaos Infinite Dao’s immunity to magical power.
Eldrin's Great Dao of Primordial Chaos had only just reached the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, yet it could nullify 90 percent of all magical assaults from mid-stage Golden Immortals. Even against late-stage Golden Immortals, it rendered roughly 70 percent of their spiritual techniques ineffective.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if Lyra (Person Name) were to wear this armor, she could likely hold her ground undefeated even against a Seventh-Level Golden Immortal.
The final piece of Supreme Luo Divine Armor proved exceptionally challenging to forge. Eldrin devoted a full 3,000,000 years to its creation, successively fusing 9 ingots of Supreme Luo Auric Gold before integrating the divine bones of the Golden-Spine Savage Bull King into the crafting process. Only through these painstaking efforts was the divine armor finally brought to completion.
The forged Great Luo Divine Armor was engraved with the complete Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, granting it not only formidable immunity to magical attacks but also significantly enhancing its inherent defensive capabilities.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, any Great Perfected Golden Immortal clad in this armor would be qualified to battle against a late-stage Great Perfected Golden Immortal. At the very least, a seventh-level Great Perfected Golden Immortal would find it nearly impossible to penetrate this divine armor and suppress its wearer.
"This is a fine treasure."
Gazing upon the Supreme Great Luo Divine Armor before him, Eldrin couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression.
For 1 who treads the path of physical sanctification like him, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure merely added another layer of defense. Yet for a Seventh-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal walking the Dao-Mastery Path, it was an invaluable protective treasure beyond measure.
Even Eldrin (Person Name) could not immediately estimate the value of this Great Luo Divine Armor.
"Should we trade it for Chaos God Metal?"
At that very moment, Lyra (Person Name) spoke up from the side.
Eldrin fell into a contemplative silence upon hearing this. For his Primordial Chaos Vial to ascend into a supreme-grade innate numinous treasure, he still required 2 divine materials of the Primordial Unity tier. Such treasures were of incomparable value—perhaps only this very Great Luo Divine Armor could be exchanged for 1 portion.
At this thought, Eldrin fell into a brief silence. Only after a long while did he finally speak, "It can be considered, but a single portion of Chaos Divine Material is still insufficient. Let us first observe how the situation develops before deciding."
At this thought, Eldrin distributed the remaining 9 sets of the Great Luo Divine Armor among the members of the Chen Immortal Clan.
Among them, 3 mid-grade Great Luo Divine Armors were entrusted to Lyra (Person Name), Lady Qing, and Seraphina Qu (Person Name), while the remaining lower-grade Great Luo Divine Armors were distributed to Banquet Purple Maiden and the others.
The Reincarnation Body did not take these treasures either. His Sacrificial Self physique was even stronger than that of his true self, making lower to mid-grade Great Luo divine armor practically useless.
After dealing with these treasures, Eldrin was preparing to go into seclusion for cultivation when he noticed Seraphina Qu approaching with visible excitement.
She handed a letter to Eldrin and said, "We've received word from Elder Sister requesting our presence to discuss matters concerning the Divine Demon Heartblood Elixir."
Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly upon hearing this, then said to Lyra, "It seems we've found ourselves an excellent buyer."
With those words, Eldrin didn't linger. He immediately brought Seraphina Qu to the 7-Colored Immortal Realm.
In that resplendent 7-colored Immortal Realm, Eldrin beheld the Snow Soul Immortal Lord and the 7-colored Immortal Lord.
After tens of millions of years apart, Eldrin noticed that the cultivation base of the Snow Soul Immortal Lord had gradually recovered, though the pace was not particularly swift.
His mastery of the Dao had recovered to the third level of the Golden Immortal realm, yet his physical cultivation remained only at the second level of the Golden Immortal realm.
Eldrin had anticipated this outcome.
After a Great Luo Golden Immortal is slain, upon revival, both their Great Luo physique and cultivation base only reach the initial stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal. This is because it represents the maximum power that the Primordial Great Dao can accumulate.
Thereafter, restoring it would require refining various Great Luo rare treasures and resources to regain 1's cultivation.
For power does not arise from nothingness; once slain, all 1's cultivated achievements turn to naught.
Now that my primordial spirit has revived and returned, though I have reconstructed my Great Luo form, I must still cultivate my realms step by step.
Although there were no bottlenecks in re-cultivating realms and no need to integrate Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light to enhance 1's foundation—while the cultivation speed remained exceptionally fast—it still required a considerable amount of cultivation resources.
Such was the case with the Snowsprite Immortal Lord. To have cultivated back to the Third Heaven of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in just a few tens of millions of years could already be considered a testament to the abundant resources of the Immortal Scallop Clan.
For Lord Snowsoul, the finest treasure to restore his cultivation was none other than the Divine Demon Heartblood Elixir.
At the sight of Eldrin, Lord Snowsoul couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, do you truly possess the Divine Demon Heartblood Elixir?"
"Indeed, it is so."
Eldrin gave a slight nod and retrieved 7 drops of Godfiend Heartblood Elixir.
Snowsoul Immortal glanced at it, his heart leaping with involuntary delight, then turned his gaze toward the nearby Prismatic Immortal.
"These 7 Divine Demon Heartblood Pills will not only help Sister Xuepo fully restore her cultivation, but also solidify her foundation and increase her chances of breaking through to the late-stage Great Perfected Golden Immortal realm."
At the sight of these 7 Soul-Infused Blood Pills, Immortal Qicai couldn't suppress his delight and blurted out, "These are precisely what I need! What treasure would you ask for in return?"
Without hesitation, Eldrin (Person Name) went straight to the point: "The Chaos Origin-level 'Qian Heaven Pure Qi (Cultivation Resource)', 'Kun Earth Mother Qi (Cultivation Resource)', or other rare treasures of similar nature."
Hearing this, the Rainbow Immortal Monarch was momentarily taken aback, a trace of solemnity flickering across his face.
After a moment of contemplation, she spoke: "The Primordial Chaos Divine Material is similar to Great Luo Marvels. Though not a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, its value should theoretically be comparable to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure."
"However, such treasures are exceedingly rare. I believe you should understand their preciousness."
Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashing across his expression.
The value of Primordial Chaos Divine Material is actually comparable to supreme-grade Great Unity Marvels. While it lacks innate indestructible numinous light, it possesses at least 12 grand dao divine patterns, making it a treasure of the Primordial Chaos Emperor rank.
Such a treasure could never be nurtured within an ordinary Great Luo nest; only a Chaos nest of the Primordial Chaos Emperor's caliber, or perhaps the depths of the Primal Domain, could give birth to it.
Within the 3 1000 immortal domains, Great Perfection marvels are far from scarce. This is because when 1 ascends to become a Great Perfection Golden Immortal, the ascending immortal domain gives birth to vast quantities of Great Perfection treasures, and the Great Perfection Chaos Nests are also capable of nurturing them in great abundance.
However, the Upper Grade Immortal Realm cannot advance to become a Primordial Chaos Immortal Realm, and thus there is no means to obtain such a supreme treasure through the promotion of an immortal realm.
Thus, such Chaos Treasures became exceedingly rare, only occasionally produced by those chaos nests of the Chaos grade, making each 1 a truly priceless rarity.
In truth, artifacts surpassing the level of the Primordial Chaos Emperor are exceedingly rare within the primordial chaos.
For this very reason, many perfected Celestial Immortals possessed Primordial Ancient Treasures, and numerous Ancient Immortals had refined Primordial Spiritual Treasures, yet it was exceedingly rare to hear of any Great Luo Golden Immortal capable of refining a supreme-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
For such treasures were far too rare, and there weren't enough to go around even among the Chaos Immortal Emperors. Many who had ascended more recently might not even possess a single top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
From this, 1 can see how exceedingly rare and precious treasures are, especially those of the highest grade—transcendent innate spiritual artifacts.
Under such circumstances, Eldrin (Person Name) not only demanded the Chaos Divine Material, but also specifically requested the Heaven-Purifying Qi of Qian and the Earth Mother Qi of Kun. This was truly asking for the impossible.
Just as Eldrin was feeling somewhat helpless and considering giving up, the Radiant Immortal Sovereign spoke up, "Very well, I still maintain some connections with a few old friends among the Primal Chaos Emperor Lords."
"I shall go and inquire, to see if I can exchange for such a treasure."
Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but feel a surge of joy and said, "Many thanks, fellow Daoist."
"This is only proper."
The 7-Colored Immortal Lord waved his hand dismissively and said, "These 7 precious pills of yours, when combined, are worth more than 15 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light."
"I won't haggle over the price with you. If we succeed, I'll exchange it for a portion of Primal Chaos Divine Material."
Eldrin (Person Name) felt a surge of joy in his heart and immediately nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you with this."
The Seafolk truly lived up to being 1 of the most ancient lineages among the 100 Immortal Clans. Though their bloodline had declined, the connections they retained remained extraordinary.
As the 7-colored Immortal Lord personally sent out letters, promising an exchange of equivalent Chaos Godly Materials, news quickly came back.
Merely a few tens of thousands of years had passed when news traveled back.
"That Profound Yin Divine Monarch is 1 of the 30-6 Divine Kings of the God Tribe, whose cultivation has reached the late-stage Primordial Chaos Divine Monarch realm. It’s hardly surprising that he possesses this Primordial Earth Mother Qi."
That day, Immortal Lord Qicai placed a wisp of Primordial Earth Mother Qi before Eldrin (Person Name), his expression serene as he spoke.
Eldrin’s heart surged with joy as he carefully received the Kun Earth Mother Qi, promptly saying, “Many thanks, fellow Daoist.”
"There is no need for formalities."
The Rainbow Immortal Lord shook his head and spoke, "If you still possess resources to exchange for the Dry Heaven Pure Qi, I suggest you attend the upcoming 'Primordial Chaos Exchange Assembly'."
"Primordial Chaos Barter Convention?"
Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, a trace of bewilderment flickering across his face.
He only knew that the 3 1000 Immortal Domains held a Great Perfection-level exchange assembly once every kalpa, but he had been unaware that there even existed a Primordial Chaos-level exchange assembly.
The Rainbow Immortal Lord nodded slightly before speaking, "The so-called Primordial Exchange Assembly is the most prestigious gathering of its kind in the Primal Immortal Realm."
Throughout the entire 3 1000 Immortal Domains, there were scarcely more than a few 100 Chaos Immortal Emperors in total. The vast majority of them were either journeying through the primordial chaos or secluded in closed-door cultivation, many cosmic kalpas passing without them emerging even once.
"Due to the insufficient number of participants in each Primal Chaos Exchange Convention, the event across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains now permits Da Luo Jin Xian (Immortal Realm) to attend."
"However, only those who have reached the Great Perfection stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, along with possessing a letter of recommendation from the Primordial Chaos Emperor, are qualified to obtain an invitation to an exchange assembly of this caliber."
As the 7-colored Immortal Lord recounted the tale, Eldrin came to understand the profound significance of the Primordial Unity Exchange Assembly.
Generally, the Barter Assembly at the Primordial Emperor level is held once every 3 kalpas. Since most Primordial Emperors are either in seclusion or deep cultivation, the number of participants in each assembly never exceeds 20.
Only the 100 Tribulations Assembly, held once every 10 billion years, could draw the participation of over a 100 Chaos Origin Emperor Lords.
In truth, due to the sparse attendance, it was highly unlikely that any noteworthy treasures would appear. Thus, most of the powerful Chaos Immortal Emperors from the 3,000 Immortal Realms were rather reluctant to participate in an exchange gathering of this caliber.
True powerhouses prefer to attend the Primordial Unity Trade Assembly jointly held by the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss.
Only those early-stage Primordial Chaos Elders (Cultivation Realm) would be willing to participate in such exchange gatherings, clinging to the hope of stumbling upon supreme treasures from Great Perfection Golden Immortals (Cultivation Realm).
It was precisely for this reason that even Great Perfected Golden Immortals and those at the Great Perfected Golden Immortal Great Perfection stage who possessed recommendation letters from the Primordial Unity Imperial Monarch were also qualified to participate in the Exchange Convention.
At this point, Immortal Lord Qicai paused briefly before continuing, "The next Treasure Exchange Conference will be held in 30 million years. Given your talent and foundation, you are widely regarded as having the potential to become a Primordial Chaos Emperor. Obtaining a letter of recommendation should not be difficult for you."
"The majority of the Primordial Chaos Emperors within your Human Race's Celestial Court would likely be willing to write you a letter of recommendation."
Hearing this, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief. He nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."
"It's just a remark, don't take it to heart."
The 7-colored Immortal Lord smiled faintly, exchanging pleasantries with Eldrin (Person Name) for what seemed an age before finally seeing him off beyond the borders of the 7-colored Immortal Realm.
Returning to the Void Abyss Immortal Realm, Eldrin recalled the Prismatic Immortal Lord's mention of the Primordial Chaos Exchange Assembly. After much deliberation, he decided to make a trip back to the Primordial Immortal Realm.
He ascended to the Celestial Court and arrived within the Heiyuan Heaven, having someone deliver his visiting card.
Soon after, Chen Xiandao emerged and personally led Eldrin (Person Name) into the Black Abyss Heaven.
In the Black Abyss Immortal Palace, after Eldrin stated his purpose, the Black Abyss Emperor calmly said, "A recommendation letter for the Treasure Exchange Conference—this matter is not difficult."
The Black Abyss Emperor spoke as he casually tossed a token to Eldrin (Person Name), then added, "You may go and broaden your horizons. If you fail to find any treasures, I shall inquire on your behalf whether others might have some."
Eldrin (Person Name) immediately smiled and cupped his hands in salute. "Many thanks for your esteemed regard, Senior. This junior shall bear it in mind."
You must be joking. A mere letter of recommendation is nothing—for the Black Abyss Emperor, it’s just a flick of the wrist.
However, having the Black Abyss Emperor do his bidding would incur no small favor. While he did not particularly mind owing the man a debt, the price of repaying it would undoubtedly be substantial.
To incur a favor from the Great Emperor of the Abyss over such trivial matters would not only deepen my debt to him but also invite his disdain.
Observing this, Emperor Black Abyss smiled faintly and remarked, "In recent years, I have sensed the Chaos Storms intensifying relentlessly. It appears a nascent Chaos Realm is nearing its full formation."
"If all goes as foreseen, that primordial realm shall emerge within 10 kalpas. In the interim, a cataclysmic war will inevitably erupt between the major celestial domains and the Chaos Fiend Gods. You must remain vigilant."
Eldrin’s heart stirred faintly upon hearing this. With utmost solemnity, he replied, “Thank you for the warning, Senior.”
The Black Abyss Emperor said no more, raising a hand to signal Chen Xiandao to see the guest out.
Emerging from the Black Abyss Immortal Palace, Eldrin observed Chen Xiandao and noticed his son’s aura had grown increasingly refined, though his cultivation had fallen to the early-stage Celestial Immortal realm.
Eldrin had anticipated this, yet a look of satisfaction spread across his face.
The 9 Revolutions Celestial Art emphasizes the effect of achieving 9 revolutions. The so-called 9 revolutions refer to consecutively dispersing 1's cultivation and recommencing the practice 9 times.
Before attaining the Great Perfection, each time he dispersed his cultivation to start anew, the dissipated power would transform into the foundation of his physical form.
After repeatedly dissipating all cultivation to start anew, each cycle would allow him to break through his limits. It was said that achieving 7 cycles would forge a True Spirit Body, while accomplishing 9 cycles would manifest 3 Divine True Spirit Runes.
With this foundation to step into the Great Perfection Realm, the likelihood of cultivating the 9 Divine Marks of the True Spirit would far surpass that of ordinary fleshly body sanctification.
Chen Xiandao was now undergoing his sixth cycle of dissipating his cultivation to rebuild from scratch. His physical body had already reached the half-step True Spirit form—even if he were to break through to the Great Perfection Realm now, it would be considered peerless talent.
You must understand, the Black Abyss Emperor of yore cultivated arduously for dozens of kalpas before breaking through to the Great Perfection stage, yet only achieved 7 Revolutions.
"The progress is fairly decent."
Looking at Chen Ethan, Eldrin nodded and then asked, "How many Revolutions are you confident in achieving?"
"The Master once said that I could cultivate to the Seventh Revolution Realm, but progressing beyond that would be immensely arduous. Whether I succeed will depend entirely on my own destiny."
Chen Xiandao spoke, his expression growing resolute as he declared, "Father, I wish to cultivate through the 9 Revolutions and ascend to the Great Perfection Realm with a flawless foundation."
Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "On the path of cultivation, relentless arduous training alone does not guarantee attainment."
"Remember, only through the rhythm of tension and release can 1 endure the long journey."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiandao seemed to gain insight, then spoke: "I understand now. Father means that cultivation truly lies in personal comprehension."
"You know nothing!"
Eldrin rapped his knuckles sharply against the boy’s skull and scolded, “A whole kalpa has passed without you visiting your mother, you unfilial brat! I ought to beat you senseless right now!”
"Ah—"
Chen Xiandao was utterly astonished and promptly apologized, "I was wrong, my child. I will return to see Mother tomorrow."
"Hmph." Eldrin let out a cold snort before saying, "Remember to bring Miaoyin. Your father-in-law hasn't seen his daughter for tens of millions of years."
Feeling a bit better today, managed to write 8,600 words. Consider 1 of the chapters as making up for the previous backlog, so I won’t ask for anything in return.
