Chapter 1971 : Bountiful Harvest
Elsewhere, Eldrin (Person Name) departed the Chaotic Boundary Sea the moment he bid farewell to the Purple Sun Divine Monarch.
They traversed the vast and chaotic Desolate Sea, finally returning to the Abyssal Ruins Immortal Realm, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"We're safe."
Returning to the Chaotic Abyssal Sea, Eldrin finally let out a sigh of relief.
Eldrin led the group to the Abyssal Heaven, then addressed them with a calm gaze. "Though we encountered significant troubles while venturing through the Chaos Boundary Sea this time, we ultimately emerged unscathed against all odds."
"Now that we have returned, let us also distribute our gains."
Upon hearing this, a faint smile flickered in the eyes of Lyra (Person Name) and the others.
This journey to the Chaotic Barren Sea, though undertaken by only 6 Great Luo Golden Immortals, had yielded an unprecedented bounty of resources, filling them with overwhelming ecstasy.
The Violet-Polaris Ancient Phoenix pondered briefly before speaking, "In this battle, you aided me in slaying the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull. Such a debt is already beyond repayment. I shall not claim any share of these treasures."
Eldrin chuckled softly before speaking, "Worry not. Since you have joined the battle, fellow daoist, you deserve a share of the spoils."
Lyra and the others also smiled, acknowledging Eldrin's approach.
After all, the spoils from this battle were truly staggering. Allocating a portion to the Violet Phoenix according to military merits would hardly make a dent.
Thinking of this, the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix said no more, merely gazing at Eldrin with a hint of anticipation.
Seeing this, Eldrin did not say much and immediately began taking out the various treasures he had seized to take stock of them.
This time in the Great War of the Primordial Chaos Sea, they had successively slain over 20 supreme Great Perfected Golden Immortals, among whom a full 20-1 were at the seventh or eighth tier of Great Perfected Golden Immortal cultivation.
And those who had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Immortal Realm numbered 7: the Golden Roc Demon Lord, the Violet Dawn Deity, the Primordial Chaos Ancestor, the Golden Radiance Celestial Lord, the Azure Extremity Ancestor, the Blazing Flame Demon Lord, and the Azure Crocodile Demon Lord.
After slaying so many powerful foes, the spoils they collected were naturally astounding. Once they finished taking stock, their faces instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.
From this battle, their spoils could roughly be divided into 4 categories: Primordial Indestructible Radiance, Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Great Perfection physical forms suitable for alchemical refinement, and a collection of invaluable Primordial Divine Artifacts.
Among them, the Primordial Undying Radiance was the most abundant. Even before encountering the Violet Dawn Deity and the others, they had obtained close to 300 strands of Primordial Undying Radiance. In the final battle, they acquired over 300 more strands in 1 fell swoop.
Thus combined, Eldrin now had over 6 100 strands of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light in his possession. With this batch of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light at hand,
If not used to nurture the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), Eldrin (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name), and the others had already resolved over half of the Primordial Indestructible Radiance required before their breakthrough to the Chaos Origin Emperor.
Beyond the Primordial Indestructible Radiance, the value of Primordial Spiritual Treasures was equally staggering.
After a brief inventory, Eldrin discovered he had seized over a 100 innate spirit treasures from this battle.
Moreover, these Primordial Spiritual Treasures were all of an extremely high grade, with the vast majority being mid-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures. Among them, there were even 30-3 high-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures.
And among them, the most precious were naturally the 3 peerless Primordial Spirit Treasures.
Among these 3 supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Ancient Seal of Longevity and the Golden-Winged Roc Slash were relatively ordinary in power, both being common supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures with 12 divine patterns.
Only the Violet Dawn Deity’s Violet Dawn Solar Pearl stood as the most formidable. Though this treasure was also a 12-vein supreme-grade innate numinous treasure, it simultaneously embodied 2 great Daos—the Violet Abyss Divine Thunder and the Pure Yang Celestial Flame. Its power surpassed that of ordinary supreme-grade innate numinous treasures by 20 percent.
"What a bountiful harvest."
Gazing upon the over a 100 innate spiritual treasures before him, a look of delight finally surfaced on Eldrin's face.
The value of a Connate Spiritual Treasure is extraordinary. When combined, the worth of several dozen mid-grade Connate Spiritual Treasures roughly amounts to nearly 2 100 strands of the Innate Indestructible Radiance.
The 30-3 supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures were even more precious. Such treasures were considered rare even among Great Perfected Golden Immortals, with any single 1 being worth 10 streams of innate indestructible spiritual light.
However, in Eldrin's view, even if all the middle-grade and upper-grade innate spiritual treasures were combined, they could not compare to these 3 supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures.
As materials of the Chaos grade were exceedingly rare, and the success rate of forging a supreme-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure did not exceed 30%, such treasures were truly uncommon.
This was a rare and peerless treasure of the world. Any 12-mark supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure on the market would start at a price of 1 100 strands of innate indestructible numinous light.
In truth, even 1 100 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance could scarcely purchase a single supreme-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure.
After all, with the strength and means of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal, gathering 1 100 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance was no easy feat. Yet, so long as 1 lived long enough, it was not an impossible task.
Among the 3 1000 immortal realms, very few Great Perfection Golden Immortals possess a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the fundamental reason lies in its extreme rarity.
Without the approval of the Mixed Origin Emperor, even doubling the price might not secure a single Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"This time, the combined value of the Connate Spiritual Treasures and Connate Indestructible Luminescence alone already exceeds over 1,000 strands of Connate Indestructible Luminescence."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze shifting to the Great Luo Physique and the Primordial Divine Artifact.
The Great Luo Physique numbered over 20 in total, yet Eldrin (Person Name) only claimed a dozen or so of those that were non-human.
The bodies of these Great Luo realm demons and deities are of immense value. Once refined into Great Luo Elixirs, they could sufficiently support 9 Great Luo Golden Immortals in cultivating their bodies to the Seventh Layer of the Great Luo Physique.
Only a few innate divine artifacts remained, as venturing into the Chaotic Boundary Sea involved considerable risks. Thus, these Great Luo Golden Immortals had not brought many non-essential innate divine artifacts with them.
These innate divine artifacts were all seized by these Great Luo Golden Immortals, each valued at no more than 2 100 streams of innate indestructible numinous light.
After cataloging the treasures, Eldrin assigned a value to each artifact before having the Violetjade Ancient Phoenix exchange them using her own merit points.
The Purple Pole Ancient Phoenix had accumulated quite a few merits, yet they were still insufficient to exchange for truly invaluable treasures.
After careful deliberation, she exchanged for the relics left behind by the Chaos Kui Bull—the Thunder God Spear and the Demon God's Heart—before using her remaining merit points to acquire a dozen or so strands of innate indestructible spirit light. Only then did she complete the exchange with full satisfaction.
After exchanging the treasures, the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "Having slain the Chaos Kui Bull, my authority over the Great Dao has now expanded tremendously."
"As long as I fully refine the Chaos Kui Bull's Divine Demon Heart and the Authority of the Great Dao, I should encounter no bottlenecks before reaching the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Eldrin smiled, a trace of amusement in his voice as he said, "Then I congratulate you, fellow Daoist, on swiftly advancing to the Great Perfection stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and even ascending to the realm of the Primordial Chaos Emperor."
The Violet-Pole Ancient Phoenix wore a solemn expression as she gave a slight bow and said, "This time, I owe you a debt of gratitude, Fellow Daoist. Should you ever have need of me in the future, I will spare no effort to assist you."
Eldrin smiled faintly but said nothing more.
As the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix rose and departed, Eldrin and Lyra, along with the others, finally began distributing the treasures.
After the distribution, Eldrin was surprised to find that although they had seized an astonishing number of treasures this time, only a handful proved useful to them.
Because top-grade innate spiritual treasures are extremely difficult to refine, 1 must possess at least the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal to successfully refine them. Aside from these supreme treasures, high-grade innate spiritual treasures offered little practical assistance to the group.
Taking Eldrin (Person Name) as an example, his Void-Returning Seal possessed power comparable to a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, and could even manifest 10 directions of divine artifacts. There was simply no need for him to refine any superior-grade innate spiritual treasures.
Even his Chaos Weapon Forging Art might not be weaker in power than an ordinary top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Among the others, Seraphina Qu also wielded the 9 Severities Spirit-Slaying Sword, while Lyra possessed the true spirit treasure ‘Lyra Immortal Pagoda’.
Qing Ji possessed treasures such as the innate numinous treasure embryo 'Crimson Azure Twin Dragon Blades', the chaos spiritual treasure embryo 'Tome of the Chaotic Azure Lotus', the 'Robe of the Chaotic Azure Lotus', and the 'Throne of the Chaotic Azure Lotus'.
Even a Reincarnation Body possesses a Reincarnation Golden Bell, forged using the mysterious Chaos Jade Platform left behind by the Violet Immortal Lord as its embryonic foundation. Interwoven with the great Daos of reincarnation, time, and space, its power and potential are truly beyond measure.
It could be said that none of the 5 regarded these top-grade innate spiritual treasures as worthy of their attention.
Thus, with no other choice, Eldrin (Person Name) took stock of the treasures, selecting 13 items that either possessed unique functions or were exceptional even among top-grade innate spiritual treasures to serve as the foundation of the family's heritage.
The remaining 12 top-grade innate spiritual treasures, Eldrin intended to use as materials. They could later be refined anew in the Creation Cauldron, either to advance his own innate spiritual treasures bound to his life force, or to serve as resources for helping his clansmen rebuild their foundations.
It must be admitted that the Cauldron of Creation truly lived up to its status as a supreme innate treasure derived from the fragmentation of a Chaos Spiritual Artifact. Its profound mystery of reforging innate treasures alone justified the very essence of its name—"Creation."
Getting back to the main story, after taking stock of these treasures, Eldrin had the others go tend to their injuries, then summoned the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the family, including Lady Yan Zi, Lila, and Chen Ethan.
To the several mid-stage Great Perfected Paragons, Eldrin (Person Name) bestowed upon each a suitable high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, while even early-stage Great Perfected Golden Immortals like Chen Qiyuan (Person Name) and Ye Qingfeng (Person Name) each received a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Even the First Divine General, Taicang Diyang (Person Name), was fortunate enough to receive a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure of immense power.
Getting back to the main story, after bestowing rewards upon everyone, Eldrin (Person Name) took several of his dao companions and returned to the seclusion chamber to heal his wounds.
After a session of intimate dual cultivation, Eldrin utilized the Path of Yin-Yang Harmony to heal his wounds, supplemented by the Great Dao of Life and various rare treasures. Finally, after millions of years, he had recovered 80 to 90 percent of the injuries within his body.
At this moment, Eldrin had nearly regained his peak strength, save for being unable to wield forbidden divine abilities.
That day, Eldrin awoke from his haven of tender warmth, sensing his injuries had largely healed. Only then did he emerge from seclusion.
After emerging from seclusion, Eldrin glanced at a piece of intelligence in his hand and remarked with a light laugh, "It seems the Chaos Boundary Sea holds no small opportunity this time."
Lyra leaned against his embrace, her beautiful eyes glancing at the intelligence report before she spoke. "A massive Chaos Boundary Sea has emerged, and it even contains a nascent Primordial Supreme Treasure embryo. Who could have possibly claimed it in the end?"
Upon hearing this, Eldrin's gaze grew subtly more intense.
The great war in the Chaotic Realm Sea, which had raged for millions of years, was finally drawing to a close.
Back in the day, Eldrin had departed rather early. After he left the Chaos Boundary Sea, it was said that an astonishing, monumental opportunity emerged within its depths.
It turned out that this Chaos Boundary Sea was an exceptionally vast 1 of its kind.
In the vast Chaos Boundary Sea, there exist no fewer than 3 Chaos Nests of the Primordial Unity level, from which even Chaos Fiends of the Primordial Unity Emperor realm have been born.
In this great war, 3 Primordial Chaos Nests of the Hunyuan level gave birth to over 30 strands of Primordial Beginning Qi.
Most crucially, within the most formidable Chaos Nest, there existed a Primordial Supreme Treasure that was nearly fully formed.
At that time, the Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo emerged alongside an immensely powerful Chaos Demon God, displaying combat prowess at the level of a Primordial Chaos Emperor the moment it was born.
Even so, it would still be difficult to contend against the Great Cang Divine Emperor and the Primordial Thunder Crow Great Emperor.
In that great battle, the Chaos Demon God at the Primordial Emperor realm was driven deep into the chaos in defeat, pursued by a host of supreme Primordial Emperors.
It is said that Emperor Taicang and the Great Emperor of Primordial Thunder Crow pursued him all the way to the deepest reaches of the Chaotic Desolate Sea, where they ultimately vanished without a trace amid the turmoil.
No 1 knew where that Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo ultimately ended up. Some claimed it was seized by the Great Emperor of Primal Thunder Crows, while others believed it had fallen into the hands of the Divine Emperor of Boundless Cosmos.
A nascent Primordial Treasure on the verge of completion.
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a trace of solemnity flickering in his gaze.
As an immortal possessing the Cauldron of Creation, he naturally understood how peerlessly powerful a Primordial Chaos Treasure could be.
It is said that the emergence of any single Primordial Chaos Treasure could drive a multitude of Chaos Emperor Lords into a life-or-death struggle. Even if such a treasure had not yet fully taken form, being merely 1 step away from completion, it would still be regarded as a peerless divine artifact.
Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but speak up: "For a single innate treasure embryo to transform into a true innate supreme treasure, it must fuse with 9 strands of primordial chaos energy."
"This Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo is said to have already fused with 7 strands of Primordial Genesis Qi. If handed to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor for refinement, the likelihood of its metamorphosis into a true Primordial Chaos Treasure would be no less than 80 percent."
Eldrin nodded slightly upon hearing this.
A Primordial Supreme Treasure possesses the potential to metamorphose into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, elevating it far beyond the realm of what a Peak-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure could ever achieve.
Generally speaking, there were only 3 methods to forge a Primordial Chaos Treasure.
The first method is to refine a True Spirit Treasure. Such a treasure, having fused with a True Spirit imprint, only requires the integration of 9 strands of Primordial Beginning Qi to ascend to the rank of a Primordial Supreme Treasure as naturally as water flowing downhill.
The second method is natural gestation. Generally, within the primordial chaos, there exist certain places of extraordinary origin that can attract a small or substantial number of True Spirit Imprints, naturally giving rise to Primordial Supreme Treasures.
The third method is to directly elevate a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure into an innate supreme treasure.
Generally speaking, even supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures possess the potential to fuse with Primordial Beginning Qi. However, due to the absence of a true spirit imprint, the fusion process carries an extremely high risk of severe damage.
A supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure with 20-4 spirit patterns holds approximately a 50 percent chance of successfully fusing with a strand of Primordial Genesis Qi, thereby gaining the potential to evolve into an embryonic Primordial Chaos Treasure.
Failure would naturally mean a complete waste of Primordial Qi and the supreme-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure, yet success would exponentially amplify its power, transforming it into an embryonic form of the Primordial Supreme Treasure.
