Chapter 2100 : Trial of the Immortal Refining Furnace

"The Immortal Refining Furnace [a legendary artifact said to be capable of tempering even the bodies of immortals], the Soul-Burial Heaven [a mythical realm or state of ultimate spiritual dissolution]."

Eldrin Chen's heart stirred slightly, and he gave a faint, thoughtful nod.

His gaze turned towards the Immortal Refining Furnace. While this furnace was an exceedingly perilous place, it was ultimately a sacred ground for cultivation; it was not designed to utterly refine and annihilate a Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Having already shattered the ultimate barriers of the Heavenly Emperor realm, Eldrin Chen could now enter the Immortal Refining Furnace without facing mortal danger.

After careful consideration, Eldrin Chen spoke, "In that case, I shall test the wonders of this Immortal Refining Furnace."

With those words, Eldrin Chen took a single step that carried him skyward, directly into the heart of the Immortal Refining Furnace.

"*Hummm—*"

The moment Eldrin Chen entered, the Immortal Refining Furnace trembled imperceptibly, and its lid slammed shut with a thunderous boom.

Instantly, boundless Immortal Refining Flame [a divine flame used for the ultimate tempering of an immortal's body and spirit] surged and boiled. A Chaos Immortal Flame [a primordial flame born from chaos, capable of incinerating all existence] capable of burning everything swept towards Eldrin Chen.

"Chaos Immortal Flame."

Gazing at the Chaos Immortal Flame before him, a slight frown creased Eldrin Chen's brow, and a trace of solemnity flickered in his eyes.

The Chaos Immortal Flame, also known as the Chaos Immortal Flame, is one of the ten great Chaos Divine Flames. In theory, it can lead directly to the Path Union Supreme Realm, and even among Path Union Supreme beings, it is considered top-tier.

The Primordial Chaos Great Path once mastered by the Lord of the Celestial Furnace was precisely this Chaos Immortal Flame. Furthermore, it is said that the Chaos Immortal Flame possesses boundless potential, harboring even a sliver of possibility to transform into the Limitless Great Path.

Such a supremely powerful divine flame, even without a Path Union Supreme master to control it, unleashes a might far beyond the ordinary. Once its full fury is unleashed, it is potent enough to incinerate any power beneath the level of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Yet, seated cross-legged within the immortal furnace, Eldrin Chen endured the furnace's flames as they ceaselessly scorched his body, his countenance remaining utterly unchanged.

For he had already shattered the ultimate barrier of the Heavenly Emperor Realm. Relying solely on the instinctive power of the Chaos Immortal Flame, it was impossible to completely refine Eldrin Chen.

Thus, Eldrin Chen sat at the core of the Immortal Refining Furnace, continuously using its boundless immortal flames to temper and refine his own body.

As time flowed on, the pressure imperceptibly grew, escalating until it reached a level that could make even a Chaos Heavenly Emperor pale with alarm.

Alas, even at this formidable intensity, it ultimately proved insufficient to push Eldrin Chen a single step further.

"My physical body has broken its limits multiple times already," he mused inwardly. "This is the absolute pinnacle beneath heaven and earth, a realm where further advancement seems nearly impossible."

"To achieve another breakthrough, one must undergo the Nirvana [a transformative rebirth through the crucible of life and death] tribulation between life and death. Only then can one glimpse a sliver of opportunity for advancement."

With this resolve, Eldrin Chen decisively summoned his Root Origin Treasure [a cultivator's foundational and most intrinsic magical artifact], the Returning Abyss Furnace, and descended into its depths to refine his very being.

Thus, within the Immortal Refining Furnace [a legendary furnace capable of refining even immortals], there now existed a furnace within a furnace. Eldrin Chen resided within this innermost Returning Abyss Furnace, undergoing the most extreme possible tempering and purification.

If one counted this Immortal Refining Heaven [a celestial realm shaped like a divine furnace] that resembled a divine furnace itself, Eldrin Chen was almost simultaneously situated within three immortal furnaces.

These three Great God-grade furnaces, each layer absorbed the flames and oppressive force from the previous, generating ever more potent supreme flames and crushing pressure.

Residing at the very core within the Returning Abyss Furnace, Eldrin Chen continuously channeled the supreme divine fires to incinerate his own form. His Chaos [Primordial Chaos] physique, hailed as eternally Indestructibility [Unbreakable and Everlasting], finally began to show signs of transformation.

"This is the way."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of elation crossing his features.

He tempered himself with boundless immortal flames. Each time he neared his limit, he would activate the Space-Time Divine Rune [a mystical sigil governing the laws of space and time] and the Rule of Life Power [the fundamental principle governing the power of life] to restore his body.

Throughout this process, Eldrin Chen continuously accumulated minute opportunities for breakthrough. His physical body seemed to be shattering its own Limit-Breaker [a state representing the absolute peak or limit of a realm] boundaries again and again.

Although this limit was exceedingly minute, each breakthrough brought Eldrin Chen an increase of merely one percent.

Yet, after nine consecutive breakthroughs, Eldrin Chen still felt his physical combat power had risen significantly, thoroughly reaching a certain ultimate bottleneck.

"Minor Limit-Breaker [a minor transcendence of one's inherent cultivation limits], and nine of them at that."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, instantly comprehending the realm he now occupied.

It turned out that Eldrin Chen's physical body had long ago, through continuous limit-breaking, completely reached the absolute zenith possible beneath the heavens for the Fleshly Body Sanctification [an art of physical purification and strengthening].

Combined with his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound cultivation method], the Chaos Limitless Great Path [a supreme divine ability], and his entire cultivation foundation, Eldrin Chen's combat power had fully stepped into the Heavenly Emperor's Domain [the realm of power belonging to a Heavenly Emperor], shattering that indescribable barrier of limits.

However, setting aside his other foundations and considering only the combat power of Eldrin Chen's physical body, it had still not truly broken through that ultimate barrier.

To shatter this barrier, one must complete nine Minor Limit-Breaker and one Major Limit-Breaker [a major transcendence of one's inherent cultivation limits].

Now, with the aid of the immortal furnace's power, Eldrin Chen had completed the nine Minor Limit-Breaker. This meant that completing just one Major Limit-Breaker would allow him to directly step into the Heavenly Emperor's Domain.

At that point, even without refining Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy of creation from chaos], Eldrin Chen's physical cultivation would be able to continue advancing.

"To forcefully achieve the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Domain [the supreme realm of a Chaos Heavenly Emperor] without relying on Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy that gave birth to the cosmos], using the Limit-Breaker Art [a legendary cultivation method that shatters inherent limitations] created by Lingering?"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, falling into deep contemplation for a moment before shaking his head slightly.

The ultimate barrier of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Realm [the foundational realm for a Chaos Heavenly Emperor]—that final step of the Major Limit-Breaker [the ultimate breakthrough that transcends all known limits]—was an almost insurmountable wall.

One must understand that a Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a sovereign who has mastered the primordial chaos] who achieves Fleshly Body Sanctification [the ultimate purification and empowerment of the physical form] could see their combat prowess ascend to the heavens in a single step, directly entering the ranks of the top-tier Chaos Heavenly Emperor's Domain [the domain and authority wielded by such an emperor].

Even if Eldrin Chen combined all his combat strength, he was still far from matching such a supreme Heavenly Emperor. How then could he possibly, without refining any Chaos Genesis Energy, use the Major Limit-Breaker Art to completely shatter the Heavenly Emperor barrier?

"For a Minor Limit-Breaker [a lesser breakthrough that surpasses minor limits], one might still rely on the power of an immortal furnace,"

"But for the Major Limit-Breaker, one must undergo complete destruction and rebirth, glimpsing a sliver of vitality within the Oblivion [the state of absolute nothingness and annihilation] to seek even a thread of hope for attaining the Dao."

"That path is far too perilous, and compared to breaking through by refining Chaos Genesis Energy, it offers no significant advantage."

Eldrin Chen shook his head and set the thought aside.

He stored away the Returning Abyss Furnace [a legendary cauldron capable of refining primordial essences] and then turned to the Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a pocket paradise] to inquire, "Senior, may I ask if I am now permitted to enter the Soul-Burial Heaven [a forbidden realm where the souls of the ancient dead are laid to rest]?"

"Come forth."

Simultaneously, a calm and detached voice echoed from the void.

Eldrin Chen immediately felt the void shift and swirl around him. The Space-Time before his eyes warped and twisted chaotically, and in the next moment, he found himself transported to a vast and imposing domain of profound darkness.

"This is..."

Eldrin Chen's heart jolted with alarm. He raised his head to survey his surroundings and discovered that the void in all directions was teeming with countless drifting, shadowy souls. Each one radiated an aura of power that was far from weak.

This sight caused Eldrin Chen's brow to furrow slightly, a trace of wariness coloring his expression.

At that moment, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit materialized slowly, standing beside Eldrin Chen before speaking. "Do you know," it began, "why this place is called the Soul-Burial Heaven [the Celestial Burial Ground for Souls]?"

Eldrin Chen offered no reply, choosing instead to listen quietly for the Grotto-Heaven Spirit's explanation.

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit paused in contemplation for a moment, then spoke as if to itself. "The so-called Soul-Burial Heaven," it said, "is the place where the heroic souls of the Heavenly Furnace Grotto-Heaven are laid to rest."

"In the distant epochs of the past, this place has interred far too many prodigious talents. Among them are a great number of peerless geniuses who failed in their attempts to break through to the realm of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor [the Sovereign of Primordial Chaos]."

"The True Spirit [the highest spiritual essence of a cultivator] of these prodigies will depart for reincarnation, while the remnants of their souls are refined into the purest soul energy, serving as the finest cultivation resource for the Soul Path Heavenly Emperor [the supreme ruler of the Soul Path]."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded slowly and remarked, "With the souls of prodigies interred here, the Soul-Burial Heaven [a celestial realm where souls are laid to rest] lives up to its name."

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a mystical realm] nodded in agreement. Guiding Eldrin Chen to the deepest part of the Soul-Burial Heaven, it spoke, "Within this Soul-Burial Heaven, there lies a peerless Rare Treasure [an object of immense rarity and power]."

"Whether you can win its favor depends entirely on your own Creation [one's innate potential and destiny for creation and cultivation]."

At these words, Eldrin Chen lifted his gaze toward the very core of the Soul-Burial Heaven. A tremor of awe passed through him.

There, at the heart of the Soul-Burial Heaven, a single, incomplete seed drifted and turned. It radiated an indescribable, supreme aura—a power so immense it far surpassed anything Eldrin Chen could possibly withstand.

"What is this?"

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, his voice laced with profound uncertainty.

"Half of a Soul Path Seed [the embryonic core of the Soul Path's ultimate power]," replied the Grotto-Heaven Spirit. After a pause, it continued, "In ages past, that Nameless Path Ancestor [the founder of a path whose name is lost to history] created the Primordial Spirit Path Attainment Art [a supreme art for achieving the Primordial Spirit Path]. He came within a hair's breadth of cultivating the Soul Path [the ultimate cultivation path of the soul] to the Sovereign Realm [the absolute pinnacle of cultivation]."

"Yet at the final moment, He failed, perishing at the very last step before the breakthrough, leaving only this half of a Soul Path Seed behind."

"Legend holds that within this Soul Path Seed is recorded the secret to breaking through to the Soul Path Sovereign realm. Sadly, it is now incomplete and damaged, making it difficult to glean the opportunity for Primordial Spirit Path Attainment from it."

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a grotto-heaven realm] continued, its tone tinged with resignation: "This Soul Path seed is incomplete. It was once deemed useless, unworthy of being treasured and stored away like this."

"However, the Master of the Celestial Furnace believed that since this treasure was once an object of a Path Ancestor, it might conceal profound and unfathomable mysteries. Therefore, he left it within the Soul-Burial Heaven [the Heaven of Entombed Souls], awaiting one destined to receive its acknowledgment."

Eldrin Chen felt a tremor in his heart. As he gazed at the half-seed before him, an inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over him.

He could not articulate the source of this feeling, yet a strange and profound sense of recognition lingered.

Almost without conscious thought, Eldrin Chen reached out, his hand moving to touch the half-formed Soul Path seed.

But in that very instant, the Soul Path Seed quivered faintly. Then, it erupted with a blazing radiance. It circled Eldrin Chen several times before finally streaking into his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and highest essence of a cultivator's being].

"This is..."

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a grotto-heaven realm] shifted its expression, its gaze scrutinizing Eldrin Chen intently for a long moment. Finally, it spoke, unable to contain its astonishment: "You... you actually gained the acknowledgment of the half Soul Path Seed?"

"Could it be... you have a connection with a Path Ancestor [a supreme being who has mastered a fundamental cosmic principle]?"

Eldrin Chen fell into a brief, contemplative silence, offering no verbal reply. Instead, he lowered his gaze inward, focusing his senses on the half-seed of the Soul Path Seed [a mysterious, seed-like object of profound spiritual significance] residing within his sea of consciousness.

He observed as the Soul Path Seed orbited his spiritual core, its faint glow eventually dimming completely until not a trace of its earlier peculiar aura remained.

Eldrin Chen attempted to probe the seed with his spiritual sense, but his efforts met with utter silence. The half-seed felt like an inert, lifeless object, offering no response whatsoever.

"No change. Is the time not yet right, or is this object simply too depleted?"

Eldrin Chen pondered this quietly in his heart before ultimately setting the thought aside for the moment.

Meanwhile, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient guardian spirit of a pocket realm] reined in its astonishment. It scrutinized Eldrin Chen with great care, observing him for a long while before finally speaking.

"To have obtained half of a Soul Path Seed... it seems your potential is extraordinary, perhaps even worthy of one destined for the Chaos Sovereign [a legendary realm of cultivation representing mastery over primordial chaos] realm."

"Initially, I intended to grant you but a single Rare Treasure [an exceptionally precious spiritual material or artifact]. Now, however, I see you merit a far greater investment."

With these words, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit produced over one hundred different Rare Treasure from its sleeve. "From among these treasures," it declared, "you may select three to take with you."

"All I require is your pledge that when your cultivation reaches sufficient heights, you will lend your strength to the Heavenly Furnace Grotto-Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the hundred or so Rare Treasure [precious spiritual materials].

With but a single glance, his heart gave a sudden, profound tremor. For these hundred-plus Rare Treasure were all supreme treasures of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a primordial-grade spiritual material] tier.

Among them were dozens of portions of Chaos Genesis Energy [the foundational energy of primordial chaos], dozens of Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and over thirty Chaos Spiritual Artifact [primordial-grade magical artifacts]. Each one was a treasure of incalculable, heaven-defying value.

To have so many treasures laid out before him left Eldrin Chen momentarily at a loss, uncertain how to choose.

"The Heavenly Furnace lineage truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier Supreme [a prefix denoting supreme mastery] orthodox tradition."

After a moment of quiet awe, Eldrin Chen's eyes fell upon a particular Rare Treasure. He could not help but inquire, "Is that... a Space Seal [a crystal that seals and stabilizes spatial power]?"

"Oh?"

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a grotto-heaven realm]'s eyes flickered with interest. It retrieved a hazy, crystalline object and presented it. "You have a keen eye. The Space Seal is exceedingly rare, a peerless treasure even among Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

"It truly is a Space Seal."

The moment his gaze fell upon this treasure, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle tremor within his heart.

The Space Seal [a primordial seal embodying the laws of space] and the Mark of Time [a mysterious token containing the essence of temporal laws]—both were supreme-grade items among Chaos Spiritual Treasure [treasures born from the primordial chaos], exceedingly rare Rare Treasure [priceless artifacts] even within the vast expanse of the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation].

Most crucially, these two treasures were the core components required for cultivating the Space-Time Divine Rune [a divine pattern merging the laws of space and time] and, ultimately, its corresponding divine form.

Eldrin Chen had already obtained the Mark of Time. If he could now acquire this Space Seal, mastering the Space-Time Divine Rune would likely be within his grasp.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen promptly spoke, "This Space Seal is precisely what this junior urgently requires."

"Hmm."

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a celestial grotto-heaven] gave a slight nod. After appraising Eldrin Chen, it could not help but nod again, remarking, "You have already cultivated the Time Divine Pattern [a divine pattern of temporal laws], so you must have obtained the Mark of Time."

"With the addition of this Space Seal, you may perhaps glimpse the realm of the Space-Time Divine Rune, and even that of the Space-Time Divine Form [the ultimate divine manifestation of unified space-time laws]."

"It seems your Fortune [heavenly fortune and destiny] and opportunities far surpass those of ordinary men."

With those words, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit handed the remaining Space Seal to Eldrin Chen.

Eldrin Chen took the Space Seal [a spatial treasure capable of sealing and stabilizing space], and his heart settled slightly. He then turned his gaze to the remaining Rare Treasures [extremely precious and hard-to-find spiritual artifacts].

After a long moment of hesitation, he suddenly inquired, "Does the Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant who accompanied me here qualify to receive a portion of Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all creation is born]?"

"The one who has cultivated the Chaos Divine Form [a supreme divine physique born from primordial chaos]?"

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a blessed grotto-heaven realm] spoke, then nodded. "He possesses the potential to reach the Path Union Supreme [the supreme realm where one's path merges with the fundamental laws of existence]. He is worthy of my full support in nurturing his growth, and thus naturally deserves a share of the Chaos Genesis Energy."

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen felt a measure of relief. He then selected one Nine Orifices Divine Stone [a mystical stone with nine natural apertures, said to resonate with the heavens] and a single Chaos Origin Pearl [a pearl condensed from the essence of primordial chaos].

These two treasures were far too rare. If he let them slip away now, finding their like again in the future would be a task more difficult than scaling the heavens.

In contrast, Chaos Genesis Energy and Chaos Spiritual Artifacts [artifacts forged from or imbued with chaos energy] were relatively more common within the vastness of the Chaos [the primordial, formless state from which all existence emerged].

Having obtained these three treasures, Eldrin Chen was thoroughly satisfied. Observing this, the Grotto-Heaven Spirit spoke once more, "If you wish to cultivate the Space-Time Divine Form [a divine physique granting mastery over the fabric of space and time], the Immortal Refining Heaven [a legendary realm where the very laws of heaven and earth are tempered and refined] would be an excellent destination."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. By utilizing the Immortal Refining Furnace [a divine furnace capable of refining even immortal essences], his confidence in assimilating the imprints of Space-Time [the fundamental concepts of spatial dimension and temporal flow] would increase significantly, saving him a vast amount of time.

Thus, he clasped his hands in a respectful salute and spoke with deference, "In that case, I must trouble you, Senior."

The Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a Grotto-Heaven realm] did not speak. With a mere flick of its sleeve, it teleported Eldrin Chen back into the Immortal Refining Furnace [a legendary furnace capable of refining and forging immortal artifacts].

Once back inside the Immortal Refining Furnace, Eldrin Chen immediately began to contemplate the Space Seal [a profound seal containing the mysteries of spatial laws].

Having obtained fragments of Great Path [profound insights into the fundamental laws of existence] from several hundred Heavenly Emperor [supreme sovereigns who have mastered heavenly laws] within the Heavenly Furnace Grotto-Heaven [a Grotto-Heaven realm centered around a celestial furnace], Eldrin Chen's foundational comprehension was now on an entirely different level, incomparable to his past self.

Now, further aided by this Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos, containing immense power], Eldrin Chen's comprehension of the Path of Space [the Dao of spatial manipulation and laws] progressed as naturally as water flowing downhill. He fully mastered it in a mere thirty million years.

Thereafter, he refined and fused the Path of Space into the Time Divine Pattern [a divine pattern embodying the power of temporal laws], perfectly merging the two. This fusion ultimately transformed into a single, supreme Space-Time Divine Rune [a divine rune symbolizing the unified power of space and time].

"Time is supreme, Space is king."

"The union of Space-Time [the combined concepts of spatial and temporal dimensions] is invincible under heaven."

The moment he completed the Space-Time Divine Rune, Eldrin Chen felt an indescribable transformation occur within his Primordial Chaos Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique forged in primordial chaos, granting near-absolute durability].

A supreme Space-Time Power [the fundamental force governing space and time] intertwined with Eldrin Chen's physical form. While it did not elevate his foundational cultivation base, it wrought a tremendous change in his combat prowess.

"Space-Time Power."

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, discovering that as he activated the Space-Time Divine Rune [a profound divine ability governing the laws of space and time], a surge of Space-Time Power [the fundamental energy that constitutes the fabric of space and time] flooded his physical body.

It was an indescribable force, capable of allowing Eldrin Chen to instantly shatter the barriers of time and space, appearing at any point within a certain range of the Space-Time continuum [the unified dimensional framework containing all of existence].

Such a method of traversing the Space-Time continuum, whether used in combat or for escape, could truly be called a heaven-defying capability.

"If the Space-Time Divine Rune alone is already so astonishing, what would it be like if I cultivated the Space-Time Divine Form [the ultimate physical manifestation of space-time laws]?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. He immediately retrieved the Mark of Time [a primordial artifact embodying the essence of temporal law] and the Space Seal [a primordial artifact embodying the essence of spatial law], beginning to refine these two peerless Chaos Rare Treasure [treasures born from the primordial chaos at the dawn of creation].

To cultivate the Space-Time Divine Form, one must refine Chaos Spiritual Artifact [artifacts forged from chaos that bear the imprint of a Great Path] which carry the Space-Time Great Path [the supreme Dao governing all spatial and temporal phenomena].

The Mark of Time and Space Seal were not Space-Time Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators]. To use them to cultivate the Space-Time Divine Form, they first had to be forged into Chaos Spiritual Artifact.

Fortunately, in this place, he had the assistance of the Immortal Refining Furnace [a legendary furnace capable of refining immortal-grade materials] and the Chaos Immortal Flame [a primordial flame born from chaos, with unparalleled refining power], along with the covert support of the Grotto-Heaven Spirit [the sentient spirit of a pocket dimension].

Otherwise, given Eldrin Chen's current level of power, attempting to refine such treasures into Chaos Spiritual Artifact would likely be more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

With the Immortal Refining Furnace and the Chaos Immortal Flame, combined with Eldrin Chen's full exertion, the speed of refining the two supreme treasures proceeded at a steady, ordinary pace.

After approximately nine Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years] had passed, the two supreme treasures were completely refined, transforming into a simple, unadorned artifact—a 'sundial'.

"The Cosmic Sky Sundial."

Gazing upon the Space-Time [the fundamental fabric of reality encompassing both spatial dimensions and the flow of time] treasure before him, Eldrin Chen spoke slowly.

This Cosmic Sky Sundial resembled a traditional sundial in form, yet it was enveloped by the aura of Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation] and the essence of the Sun and Moon and Stellar [celestial bodies]. The power of the Myriad Stellar [countless stars] and even Space-Time Power [the fundamental force governing dimensions and chronology] swirled around it, seemingly capable of altering the flow of time within this pocket of Space-Time.

"A remarkable treasure."

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a flicker of astonishment crossing his features.

This Cosmic Sky Sundial truly lived up to its name as a Space-Time supreme treasure. Once activated, it could isolate the internal and external flows of Space-Time, possessing the wondrous ability to manipulate the passage of time.

By activating this treasure, Eldrin Chen could seal off a portion of the void, rendering it somewhat independent from the greater Chaos, and then create a temporal differential between the inside and outside exceeding tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold.

With Eldrin Chen's current cultivation level, and without destabilizing the balance of internal and external Space-Time or affecting the great Long River [the metaphorical river of time], he could achieve a maximum acceleration of approximately one hundred times.

In other words, with such a supreme treasure in hand, Eldrin Chen could possess a hundred times the cultivation time of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, as Eldrin Chen's cultivation base advances, this effect will continue to grow in the future.

"What a formidable Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a primordial artifact born from chaos, containing immense and untamed power]. It's a pity I can only refine it to this extent."
