Chapter 1976 : Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage
Chapter 1,977 Late-stage Great Roaming Immortal (4,000 words) "Excellent."
Eldrin smiled faintly and promptly retrieved the top-grade innate spiritual treasures and other rare artifacts to complete the transaction with Liyan Emperor.
It must be admitted that once 1's status reaches a certain level, acquiring the necessary resources often becomes remarkably easier.
After completing the transaction, Eldrin did not linger in the Blaze Flame Immortal Domain. After expressing his gratitude, he returned to the Abyssal Return Immortal Domain.
Returning to the Abyssal Immortal Realm, Eldrin immediately entered the seclusion chamber. After regulating his breathing and stabilizing his condition, he began refining the Source Marrow of the Great Dao without delay.
Eldrin's foundation had been sufficiently tempered, and his breakthrough into the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm now unfolded as naturally as water flowing downhill.
As the Great Dao Source Marrow was refined, the Primordial Chaos Infinite Dao cultivated by Eldrin began to voraciously absorb its fundamental energies, growing at a visibly rapid pace.
Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed. Eldrin’s Great Dao of Primordial Chaos finally reached its ultimate pinnacle.
Seizing the opportunity, Eldrin refined a full 30 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance in 1 breath, completely shattering the shackles of his cultivation and achieving a breakthrough into the Mahayana Path. His power surged into the late-stage Golden Immortal realm.
Great Dao of Chaotic Primordial Unity (Cultivation Art)
After fully completing the breakthrough, a faint smile finally surfaced on Eldrin's face.
Rising to his feet, he sensed the power surging within him, and a wave of exhilaration washed over his spirit.
After breaking through to the Mahayana realm of the Primordial Chaos Wuji Dao, Eldrin discovered that his comprehension of the Great Dao had once again advanced tremendously. Through Dao cultivation alone, he could now rival a perfected Great Unity Golden Immortal.
Although this power paled in comparison to the Dao-Sacrificing Path's authority over the Dao, it constituted the very foundation of Eldrin's being, its significance beyond words.
After all, although Eldrin had pioneered the Path of Self-Sacrifice, he himself never cultivated it. The Primordial Chaos and Infinite Great Dao remained the foundation of Eldrin's cultivation.
According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, after this breakthrough, his cultivation in the Great Dao alone would be sufficient to rival a Great Perfection Golden Immortal.
Without activating the Sacrificial Dao Art, if I were to combine my physical body strength and soul power, my combat prowess should be sufficient to rival 3 Great Perfection Golden Immortals joining forces.
Of course, if measured by the ultimate combat power unleashed through the Cultivation of the Sacrificial Self Path, this breakthrough didn't substantially elevate Eldrin's overall battle prowess.
For the power of the Path of Self-Offering had already reached the realm of a Primordial Chaos Emperor—how could such strength be merely several times greater than that of a Great Perfection Golden Immortal?
In such circumstances, a first-tier foundation cultivator reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm would, at most, elevate their overall combat prowess by approximately half a tenth.
With this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) reined in his inner excitement and proceeded into the Abyssal Restricted Zone. He retrieved the Cauldron of Creation (Magic Treasure) and began ceremoniously refining the Abyssal Seal (Magic Treasure).
After this breakthrough in his Great Dao cultivation, Eldrin's cultivation base surged tremendously. He could now refine the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, elevating it into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
To further enhance the power of the Void Abyss Seal, Eldrin prepared to advance it using the Creation Cauldron.
At this moment, after retrieving the Cauldron of Creation, Eldrin immediately intertwined his Great Dao cultivation with the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.
Having integrated the Great Luo Primordial Divine Gold and various other divine materials, and even expended a full 60 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light, the upgrade of the Abyssal Return Seal was finally completed.
Moreover, Eldrin discovered that perhaps due to the profound mystery of the Chaos Mud, after the Abyssal Seal completed its ascension this time, it seemed capable of integrating with innate spiritual treasures once more—and could continue to assimilate 2 additional such treasures.
After pondering this, Eldrin hesitated for a moment before reluctantly extracting a Void Immortal Sword and a precious diagram to merge into it—both were top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
These 2 treasures were both premium Primordial Spirit Treasures seized by Eldrin. The former, named the Cosmic Immortal Sword, possessed the power to tear through the void. The latter, known as the Myriad Worlds Atlas, was the ultimate treasure of formation arrays, capable of amplifying and enhancing the power of all immortal artifacts.
"60 strands of innate indestructible radiance and 2 top-grade innate spiritual treasures—this expenditure is truly excessive."
After the Void Return Seal completed its advancement, a trace of helplessness involuntarily surfaced on Eldrin's face.
His Void-returning Seal was far too powerful. Even disregarding the fusion of various rare treasures, it had already consumed a total of 90 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light. Such staggering consumption would likely overwhelm even a Great Perfection Golden Immortal.
Fortunately, the power of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss was truly extraordinary, making Eldrin endure this depletion.
"The current Abyssal Seal's power should already be comparable to a 20-4-mark supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, shouldn't it?"
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a flicker of curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
He directly harnessed the Abyssal Seal, instantly dividing it into 12 Primordial Spiritual Treasures: the Celestial Halberd, the Immortal Sword, the Grand Cauldron, the Jeweled Pagoda, the Ancient Bell, the Divine Diagram, and more.
These 12 Primordial Spiritual Treasures, each a superior-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, could form a lethal formation potent enough to annihilate even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
If Eldrin (Person Name) manifested the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) into any sacred artifact, it could unleash power comparable to a 20-4-mark supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure—far more than doubling its pre-ascension might.
"I seem to have grasped it."
At that very moment, Eldrin seemed to gain enlightenment, vaguely comprehending the challenge of advancing to an Innate Supreme Treasure.
It turns out that a true Primordial Chaos Treasure must possess 9 Great Dao Divine Chains and interweave them into perfect unity to transform into the power of Great Dao Authority.
And each of these 9 great chains was woven from 30-6 divine patterns of the Dao.
A top-grade innate spiritual treasure with 20-4 divine patterns of the Great Dao must first fuse with the Primordial Genesis Qi to transform into a 30-6-pattern embryonic innate supreme treasure.
However, transforming into an embryonic form of a Primordial Chaos Treasure was no simple feat.
Generally speaking, the more profound the foundation of a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the more innate dao patterns it manifests when summoned, the smoother its future ascension to an innate supreme treasure will be.
Taking Eldrin's (Person Name) Abyssal Seal as an example, the current Abyssal Seal was forged through the fusion of 12 supreme treasures. This means the ultimate Abyssal Seal would ultimately metamorphose into 12 grand dao divine chains.
Even if Eldrin no longer integrated Primordial Indestructible Radiance into his Abyssal Seal, given that it had already absorbed 1 100 and 8 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance, it would ultimately manifest at least 3 Great Dao Divine Chains in the future.
In other words, if he could obtain 3 strands of Primordial Beginning Qi, Eldrin's Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss would eventually evolve directly into a Grade-3 Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo.
"So this is the mystery of ascending to an Innate Supreme Treasure?"
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a glimmer of comprehension flashing in his eyes....
The personal treasures of others, be they individual Innate Spiritual Treasures (Magic Treasure) or a set of array artifacts forming supreme treasures, would face immense difficulty in ascending to the rank of Innate Supreme Treasures (Magic Treasure) unless refined into True Spirit Treasures (Magic Treasure) through the Celestial Emperor's Artifact Fusion Scripture (Cultivation Method).
An ordinary supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, seeking to break through its foundation of 20-4 divine patterns and ultimately give birth to 9 Great Dao divine chains to become an innate supreme treasure, would face a challenge far more daunting than scaling the heavens.
However, once it ascends to become an Innate Supreme Treasure, such artifacts are invariably peerless wonders unparalleled throughout the ages.
Because it could successively fuse 9 strands of Primordial Qi, its inherent power surpassed even that of an entire set of formation artifacts. It was a peerless treasure that fundamentally defied being challenged across cultivation realms.
At this thought, a faint smile touched Eldrin's lips.
He had a feeling that the Abyssal Seal seemed different, as if it could break through certain limitations. Perhaps it could bear more than 1 Great Dao Authority, its potential far surpassing that of ordinary Primordial Treasures.
As far as Eldrin (Person Name) knew, whether it was Jiang Daoxu's Primordial Beginning Qi Sword or Chen Xianchang's Divine Pearl of the Vast Sea, none seemed capable of bearing more than a single Great Dao Authority.
In other words, no matter how many Primordial Indestructible Sparks their perfected True Spirit Treasures could fuse, they would ultimately give birth to only 9 Great Dao Divine Chains and bear the weight of but 1 fragment of Great Dao Authority.
When it comes to the authority over the Dao, all paths that have reached perfection are fundamentally equal. While there may be differences in their potency, none possess an insurmountable chasm over the others.
And Eldrin’s (Person Name) Seal of the Returning Abyss seemed capable of breaking this limitation, allowing it to bear multiple Great Dao Authorities simultaneously.
"Is this a property of the Chaos Mud?"
Eldrin murmured inwardly, but swiftly reined in his wandering thoughts.
There was little use in dwelling on such matters. After Eldrin (Person Name) regained his composure, he immediately returned to his cave abode, only to find Lyra (Person Name) had been waiting for quite some time.
"How is it?"
Lyra looked at him and asked with some concern.
Eldrin smiled faintly and spoke with serene composure, "With this breakthrough accomplished, my foundational reserves have deepened. Most crucially, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss has ascended to a higher tier."
Hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but smile faintly.
Though both were of the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure caliber, the enhancement brought to Eldrin by the Ascending Abyss Seal's breakthrough this time was vastly different.
Before its advancement, the Guixu Seal possessed only the power of an ordinary top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Such a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure with 12 spirit patterns often provides minimal enhancement to 1's strength during the early stages of the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm.
In truth, aside from the newly ascended Primordial Emperor, the vast majority of early-stage Primordial Emperors possessed a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure with 20-4 divine patterns.
In such circumstances, without a 20-4-pattern supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, Eldrin's strength would merely be at the level of a newly-advanced Chaos Emperor.
But now that the Void-Sealing Seal had completed its ascension, Eldrin's methods and strength had barely transcended the realm of newly-advanced Chaos Unity Emperors, rivaling most First-Level Chaos Unity Emperors.
At this thought, Lyra still said, "After the advancement of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, your strength is no longer weak among the Primordial Chaos Sovereigns."
"But do not grow arrogant. The higher the realm of a Primordial Chaos Emperor, the more profound their foundation and the more formidable their methods."
"Most who have reached the mid-stage of Chaos Origin Emperor realm possess Primordial Chaos Embryos with fewer than 3 divine patterns. With your current strength, it would be unwise to provoke them recklessly."
Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "I've heard that in a few days, the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss will host an exchange assembly. I intend to attend personally to gather the crucial resources required for my cultivation at the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) fell into a brief, contemplative silence.
After Eldrin's (Person Name) cultivation broke through to the late-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm, the power of his 8 innate supernatural abilities and 5 true spirit divine patterns had become somewhat inadequate. All of them needed to be cultivated to the Great Perfection stage to keep pace with his current strength.
Especially those 5 True Spirit Divine Abilities, along with the 5 True Spirit Divine Patterns, consumed resources that were all supremely precious top-grade innate spiritual treasures.
To master all these divine abilities and divine patterns, Eldrin would need to consume dozens of Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Even with tens of thousands of Great Perfected Immortals across the 3 1000 Celestial Domains, gathering such a vast quantity of top-grade innate treasures all at once would likely prove exceedingly difficult.
Without a high-level trading assembly, Eldrin would likely need over a 100 kalpas to gather all the treasures.
Under such circumstances, only by attending the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss Barter Convention could 1 gather so many treasures swiftly.
After all, the Grand Bazaar of the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss was an event only accessible to those at the level of Divine Monarchs. The wealth of such individuals far surpassed that of ordinary Great Perfected Golden Immortals, and acquiring a few Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures would likely be effortless for them.
At this thought, Lyra spoke up, "I also support your decision to attend the Artifact Exchange Convention."
"However, as a precaution, you must remain vigilant against those few adversaries of the Great Dao."
Eldrin nodded and spoke directly, "Rest assured, as long as the Pure Yang Great Emperor does not intervene, other early-stage Chaos Origin Emperors should be unable to keep me here."
Lyra nodded, yet advised, "This Grand Barter Assembly is being held in the Chaos Celestial Realm. To guard against unforeseen dangers, you'd best invite those few allies of yours to journey together."
"Hmm, I'll go fetch it right away."
Eldrin nodded, then immediately tore through the primordial chaos to return to the Primordial Immortal Realm, before directly paying a visit to the Taiyang Clan.
Times had changed. After all these years, Eldrin's status was no longer what it had been.
The Taiyang Clan treated Eldrin's (Person Name) visit with utmost solemnity. 2 Primordial Emperor-level experts, including the Taiyang Emperor himself, personally received him and hosted a grand banquet in Eldrin's (Person Name) honor.
After 3 rounds of drinks, Eldrin invited the 3 to attend the exchange convention at the Primordial Heavenly Extremity Domain.
The Grand Emperor of Taiyang agreed with utmost readiness to join the journey to the Exchange Assembly. Yet before parting, his expression turned grave as he advised, "Fellow Daoist, if there are matters you wish to settle, I implore you to accomplish them within the next 2 kalpas."
Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, a flicker of surprise crossing his features as he asked, "What does the Imperial Lord mean?"
"The situation remains unclear."
The Great Central Emperor shook his head, yet his words carried a veiled implication: "You share no shallow ties with the Divine Emperor of the Vast Azure. I believe he knows far more than I do."
Eldrin's expression was grave. After offering a final cupped-hand salute, he made his way into the Grand Azure Imperial Court.
He presented his visiting card and was soon granted an audience with the Taicang Divine Emperor.
The last time I saw the Emperor of Taicang was within the Chaotic Boundary Sea. At that time, his aura overshadowed all realms, revealing a demeanor that bordered on invincibility.
However, upon meeting the Grand Primordial God Emperor this time, Eldrin faintly sensed that the God Emperor’s aura seemed feeble, as though he had sustained significant injuries.
"You noticed it too."
The Great Cang Divine Emperor spoke slowly, his expression grave as he said, "That Primordial Chaos Treasure Embryo has fallen into the hands of the Primordial Thunder Crow."
Eldrin's expression shifted slightly, a trace of solemnity flickering deep within his gaze.
Observing this, the Tai Cang Divine Emperor spoke, "Within our 3 Extremes Primordial Domain, the demon race stands as the foremost among the 3 celestial courts, and among the demon race, the Golden Crow lineage reigns supreme."
Within the Golden Crow lineage, the mightiest was undoubtedly the Sun Celestial Emperor.
Beneath it stood an Ancient Azure Crow, whose cultivation had reached the quasi-sage realm, making it a half-step Heavenly Emperor of the Golden Crow lineage. The third most powerful figure of the Golden Crow race was none other than this Ancient Thunder Crow.
Over the years, while the Sun Celestial Emperor remained aloof from worldly affairs and the Azure Crow Great Emperor journeyed through the primordial chaos seeking enlightenment to master the Dao, the true authority within the Golden Crow clan rested with this Ancient Thunder Crow.
Yet the Thunder Crow Emperor of the Primordial Era was domineering by nature. Should he succeed in forging a Primordial Chaos Treasure, the balance across the 3 1000 celestial realms would surely be stirred into turmoil once more.
