Chapter 289 A Clan with 9 Purple Palace Masters (Organization)

Having successfully cultivated the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art), Eldrin (Person Name) revealed a flicker of delight as he gained another trump card to keep in reserve.

However, the power of the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) came at a tremendous cost. Each activation consumed half of his magical power, and even with the Ren Water Blue Lotus Platform (Magic Treasure) in his possession, he could only unleash it 4 times at most.

This Eldrin Water Azure Lotus Platform was currently only at the 3rd-tier upper-grade, storing merely twice the amount of spiritual power contained within his own body.

If it were to advance to the fourth-tier lower grade, it would be able to store 3 times the spiritual power. Only then would his mana reserves become several times more abundant, allowing him to repeatedly unleash his trump cards without fear of severe depletion of vital energy.

Descending from the high altitude, Eldrin returned to Spirit Isle Lake and resumed his routine of reading texts, savoring tea, and contemplating the profundities of cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities.

After comprehending the Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art), his understanding of the 5 Elements Divine Thunder became increasingly clear. He desired to push further, seeking to grasp the 3 Essences Divine Thunder.

Yet in the end, he still gave up. The Tri-Phenomenon Divine Thunder required the fusion of 3 types of divine thunder, a difficulty that had increased by more than tenfold.

The most crucial point was that this divine thunder had undoubtedly stepped into the realm of great supernatural powers. His spiritual sense and magic power were still insufficient—only by reaching the Golden Core Realm would he stand a chance to accomplish this step.

Nevertheless, this deduction had greatly enhanced his strength, and his comprehension of divine abilities and cultivation methods had grown increasingly profound.

After abandoning the deduction of the Tri-Source Divine Thunder, he began attempting to merge the 5 cultivation techniques he had created, striving to unify them into a single 5 Elements cultivation method.

With his profound foundation from studying hundreds of classics and comprehension far surpassing ordinary people, this step still proved exceedingly arduous for him.

Over the years, he had been attempting to merge the 5 Elements techniques, yet only possessed a vague notion of how to proceed. But now, the 5 Elements Divine Thunder circulating within his body had formed a grand cycle, illuminating a clear path forward for him.

The 5 Elements techniques inherently generate and counteract 1 another, making it unnecessary to devise a single cultivation method that encompasses all 5 attributes.

This was not only extremely difficult, but also fraught with various conflicts even upon success—truly a troublesome affair.

Therefore, he decided to shift his approach. By making partial modifications to the 5 cultivation techniques and aligning them to share a common origin, he could simultaneously practice all 5 methods, allowing them to naturally form a grand cycle of techniques.

Once the 5 cultivation methods complete their cycle, they will spontaneously merge into an entirely new technique.

Without delay, Eldrin began deconstructing and reinterpreting each of the 5 Elements Canonical Texts: the Solar Flame Sutra, the Celestial River Water Sutra, the Imperial Earth Sovereign Sutra, the Green Emperor's Longevity Sutra, and the Western White Emperor Sutra.

After 5 full years of such exhaustive effort, he completely rewrote the foundational principles of these 5 cultivation techniques. The spiritual power cultivated through these revised methods underwent a transformation, becoming mutually generative and restrictive, ultimately evolving into 5 distinct arts capable of forming a grand cycle of the 5 Elements.

After recalculating and refining his understanding, Eldrin found that these 5 cultivation methods had undergone significant transformations. Their core principles had shifted enough that their original names no longer seemed appropriate.

In truth, he wished to rename these 5 cultivation techniques, but after some consideration, he temporarily suppressed the impulse to alter their names.

These 5 cultivation methods before me were profound in their conceptual foundation. Giving them ordinary names would be inappropriate, yet assigning them overly grandiose titles would feel disingenuous, as their quality ultimately fell far short of such distinction.

After recreating the cultivation method, Eldrin began attempting to simultaneously practice 5 distinct techniques.

After his modifications, these 5 cultivation methods could now be practiced simultaneously. As the techniques began circulating 1 after another, the spiritual power within his body started undergoing intense transformation.

As the final scripture, the Heavenly River Meridian Water Sutra, began to circulate, he discovered that the 5 cultivation techniques within his body had formed an inexplicable equilibrium.

Boom—

At that moment, a muffled boom resonated from within his body as 5 cultivation techniques of shared origin rapidly merged, ultimately forming 1 grand circulation.

In an instant, his magical power surged explosively, allowing him to break through to the 8th Layer of the Violet Mansion in 1 breath, drawing a step closer to the Great Perfection of the Violet Mansion.

Not only that, but the spiritual power cultivated through the Solar Flare Sutra within him was also transformed, ultimately converting into an exceptionally unique form of Pure Yang spiritual power.

This magical power resembled a mist of chaos, yet it simultaneously possessed the characteristics of all 5 types of elemental energies.

It possesses the overbearing nature of the Solar Nirvana Sutra, wielding immense pure yang power; it carries the gentle nourishment and restorative properties of the Heavenly River Mercury Sutra, capable of nurturing both body and soul, with a mana recovery rate far surpassing that of peers in the same realm.

There was the sharp and extraordinary edge of the Western White Emperor Scripture, whose lethality stood out from the rest; and there was the profound and majestic power of the Earth Sovereign Scripture, offering exceptionally formidable defense.

Moreover, the healing and life-extending effects of the Evergreen Sutra granted him an additional 60 years of longevity, while his recovery rate from injuries would far surpass that of ordinary cultivators.

"5 laws converge, embodying the 5 elements as 1."

"This cultivation technique shall be named the 5 Elements Return to Origin Scripture."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a flicker of delight gleaming in his eyes.

The 5 Elements Origin Return Scripture was formed by merging 5 distinct cultivation methods. Once he advanced each of these arts to the Golden Core realm through further deduction, this combined technique would naturally ascend to the Golden Core realm as well.

Having completed the creation of his future primary cultivation technique, Eldrin's (Person Name) power naturally advanced to the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion. His spirits soared.

After tidying up his joy, he intended to continue deducing his cultivation technique, but this tranquil period was interrupted by a message from Celestial Ruins Mountain (Location).

Before the Beast Tide, the family’s Violet Mansion Elders decided to hold a meeting.

Eldrin merged with his sword, transforming into a blade of light that streaked across the sky until he arrived at Pingyang City. There, he discovered all available Purple Mansion cultivators from his clan had already gathered.

In the great hall, the old clan leader and Eldrin (Person Name) sat at the center.

The Lior of the Qing generation (Person Name) and Chen Qingwan (Person Name) sat on either side, while Kael (Person Name), Lila (Person Name), and Ethan (Person Name) were also seated nearby.

Silas, who was guarding Spirit Isle Lake (Location), and Caleb (Person Name) from Lingyuan Mountain also attended the meeting via the World's-End Sound-Transmission Mirror (Magic Treasure).

Eldrin brewed a pot of tea, unhurriedly poured a cup for each person present, and spoke with serene composure.

"2 more years, and the Beast Tide will begin again."

"Yes, time truly flies."

A smile also appeared on the face of Lior (Person Name) standing nearby.

In the blink of an eye, 1 100 years had passed, and the second beast tide that Eldrin (Person Name) would face was about to descend.

Eldrin (Person Name) was now 1 100 and 50-3 years old, while the old clan leader had already passed 2 100 and 50 years of age.

Among the others, Lior (Person Name) and Qingwan were the eldest, both having surpassed 1 100 and 90 years of age.

The remaining Eldrin Masters had all broken through to the Eldrin Realm within the last few decades, making them exceptionally young by cultivation standards.

"A 100 years have passed, and the world has changed beyond recognition."

The old clan leader let out a sigh, speaking with a touch of nostalgia and a faint smile.

A 100 years had passed. With the support of the old clan leader and Eldrin (Person Name), the Chen Clan had participated in numerous Golden Core-level battles, accumulating substantial wealth.

Now, the family's enterprises rank among the very finest even within the Violet Mansion Immortal Clans.

Relying on these industries, the spoils from numerous battles, and the diligence of their clansmen—who had successively produced talents—the Chen family now unknowingly boasted 9 Eldrin cultivators.

Chapter 1 The Chen Clan (Organization), now boasting 9 Purple Palace realm masters, stood peerless even among other Purple Palace clans. They rightfully held the title of Chu Kingdom (Location)'s foremost Purple Palace lineage.

Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled through the mountain pass, carrying with it the scent of blood and decay. A lone figure stood amidst the swirling snow, his black robes tattered and stained crimson. In his hand, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) glowed with a faint, dying light. "Xiao Yan (Person Name), hand over the Ancient Dragon Soul Scripture (Cultivation Method), and I might grant you a swift death!" a voice boomed from the shadows. Xiao Yan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his spiritual power nearly depleted. He had been hunted for 3 months and 7 days, ever since he obtained that cursed scripture. Over a 100 elite disciples from the 3 great sects had pursued him across thousands of miles. "Dream on, Eldrin (Person Name) of the Netherworld Valley (Sect)," Xiao Yan spat, his voice hoarse but firm. "Even if I have to shatter my dantian, I will not let you have it." He glanced at the spatial ring on his finger, which contained his remaining resources: precisely 32,000 spirit stones, a dozen or so Healing Pills (Elixir), and nearly a 1000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones (Cultivation Resource). It had to be enough. 1 100 years had passed since he first stepped onto the path of cultivation. Countless trials and tribulations, countless life-and-death battles—they had all led to this moment. He would either achieve a breakthrough to the next realm here or meet his end. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan began circulating the 9 Revolutions Nirvana Art (Cultivation Method). The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged toward him, forming a visible vortex above his head. The snow around him melted instantly, steam rising in great clouds. "Fool! You dare to attempt a breakthrough now?" Eldrin laughed mockingly, but his eyes narrowed with caution. He signaled his 20-some followers to form an encirclement. Xiao Yan ignored him. His consciousness sank into his sea of knowledge, where the golden characters of the Ancient Dragon Soul Scripture (Cultivation Method) floated. He had only comprehended the first layer, but its power was already immense. "Since you seek death, I shall oblige!" Eldrin roared, unleashing the Netherworld Ghost Claw (Technique). A giant, spectral hand materialized, tearing through the air toward Xiao Yan. At that critical moment, Xiao Yan's eyes snapped open, flashing with a golden light. "Break!" A tremendous force erupted from his body, shattering the spectral hand and sending Eldrin's followers flying. The ground cracked for miles around, and the very sky seemed to tremble. Xiao Yan rose slowly, his wounds healing at a visible rate. His aura had completely transformed—powerful, ancient, and domineering. He had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm (Cultivation Realm). "Impossible!" Eldrin staggered back, his face pale with shock and fear. "How... how can your foundation be so solid after just breaking through?" Xiao Yan smiled coldly, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) blazing to life in his hand, its crimson flames roaring like an awakened dragon. "You sought the scripture. Now, witness its true power." The final battle had just begun.
