Chapter 473 Embracing Both Sides

After bidding farewell to Lila (Person Name), Eldrin (Person Name) rode his sword beam toward the Chen Kingdom, arriving at Green Lotus Isle in little time.

Upon returning to Green Lotus Isle, his life resumed its usual tranquility. Each day, aside from essential cultivation practices, he devoted himself to comprehending techniques and supernatural abilities, progressing with astonishing speed along this path.

Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over 20 years had passed.

That day, Eldrin was playing the zither by the shores of Green Lotus Isle when he suddenly opened his eyes with a faint sense of realization, a flicker of delight crossing his expression.

In the secluded cultivation chamber not far away, the tightly shut door abruptly swung open.

Lyra (Person Name) had cultivated in bitter solitude for many years. Not long ago, as her zither music resonated with her insights, she unexpectedly entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

As she emerged from the seclusion chamber, Eldrin asked with a smile, "How did it go?"

Chapter 2 The method of the Second Primordial Embryo has been fully deduced, and following your example of the Trinity Divine Thunder, I have comprehended the Trinity Divine Light.

A faint smile graced Lyra's (Person Name) lips, her bright eyes shimmering with delight.

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded slightly. After Lyra had broken through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, her cultivation had stagnated completely.

Over the years, she had devoted herself to deducing the method of the Second Nascent Soul, having already perfected more than half of it.

Even so, this moment of enlightenment had saved her a considerable amount of time, not to mention allowing her to incidentally comprehend the Trinity Divine Light.

At this thought, Eldrin said joyfully, "The clan has accumulated a considerable amount of 5 Elements Essence over the years. Not only is it sufficient for you to refine the Second Primordial Embryo, but the remainder will also allow you to cultivate the Trinity Divine Light."

"Mm." Lyra also nodded with a smile. "Once I successfully cultivate the second Nascent Soul, we won't have to remain confined to the Azure Lotus Isles for extended periods anymore."

All these years, they had remained in Green Lotus Isle, primarily out of concern that the demonic tribes might launch an assault on this incomparably precious spirit mountain.

After all, although the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels were formidable, if they were left without a True Lord-level expert to guard them for an extended period, there would still be some risk of them being breached by the Demon Emperor.

With a second Nascent Soul of the infant-level guarding the spiritual vein, it was likely that even 2 or 3 ordinary Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) demon monarchs would struggle to breach its defenses.

By then, both Eldrin and Lyra would be able to free themselves from their current constraints. The combat effectiveness of True Lords who could maneuver freely was fundamentally different from those confined to a single location.

Mindful of the Second Nascent Soul's significance, the 2 wasted no time and began refining their Lifebound Nascent Souls that very day.

Forging the Natal Embryo required the consumption of an incomparably precious Aqua Vein Spirit Jade, which they had acquired back then from the Ji Continent Trading Post (Location).

This treasure required a fourth-order spirit vein to nurture for 1 1000 years before it could form—making it incomparably rare. But now that the time had come to use it, there was naturally no reason to hold back.

The 2 joined forces to personally refine it, and after a full year of effort, they finally succeeded in merging the Aqua Vein Spirit Jade into the external incarnation.

After integrating this treasure, Lyra advanced her Lifebound Array Runes to the realm of a spirit treasure, then began to merge with the essence of the 5 Elements.

The Second Nascent Divinity was even more profound than a Life-Bound Spiritual Artifact, consuming twice as much 5 Elements Essence. Fortunately, Eldrin had anticipated this and had long prepared Water of Ren and Water of Kui energies worth 20,000,000 spirit stones.

Lyra spent a full 3 years integrating the 20 million spirit stones' worth of Ningshui and Kuishui energies before finally refining the embryonic form of her second primordial fetus.

"This alone is not enough."

Gazing at her Natal Embryo, Lyra murmured to herself, "A second embryo is equivalent to a cultivator's second Nascent Soul."

However, this alone was not enough. It required a drop of Lyra’s (Person Name) life essence blood and the absorption of vast amounts of spiritual energy to finally nurture a physical form, transforming into a peerless prodigy comparable to a True Monarch.

Fortunately, Green Lotus Isle possessed a fifth-grade spiritual vein, so spiritual energy wasn't too much of an issue.

Lyra expended a vast amount of essence blood to fuse with her Natal Origin Embryo, then guided the newly-formed embryo deep into a fifth-grade spirit lake to absorb spiritual energy. After 3 full months of continuous absorption, it finally achieved complete metamorphosis and manifested a physical body.

A lithe and enchanting figure, slender and snow-white, emerged from the spirit lake. She transformed into a flowing snow-white gown, like a peerless celestial maiden treading the waves. With a single step, she soared into the heavens.

Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and saw rolling tribulation clouds blanketing the firmament. That peerlessly elegant figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, facing the heavenly lightning with transcendent grace.

Thunder rumbled across the sky, arriving swiftly and departing just as fast.

When the heavenly tribulation of lightning finally subsided, that graceful figure stepped through the void and descended before Lyra (Person Name).

Her appearance was identical to Lyra's, yet her eyes shimmered with a watery gleam, carrying an additional layer of frost-like detachment.

"Your Excellency."

Lyra nodded without saying another word.

The second nascent soul was 1 with her, their thoughts interconnected. There was no distinction between them at all, so there was naturally no amusement in holding a conversation with oneself.

Having retrieved the second primordial embryo, Lyra (Person Name) tugged Eldrin (Person Name)'s sleeve and suddenly quipped, "Now that this second primordial embryo has gained physical form, does this mean my husband can embrace 2 companions at once? What splendid fortune indeed."

Eldrin (Person Name)：“…”

Nevertheless, this second primordial embryo had manifested a physical form, rendering it no different from a Humanity Nascent Soul.

Moreover, a great water-attribute supernatural power was engraved within this second primordial fetus. This power, known as the ‘Heavenly River Vast Sea Sword’, was an innate great supernatural power of the primordial fetus itself, nearly equivalent to the innate great supernatural power of a True Lord cultivator.

Thinking of the profound mysteries of this second primordial fetus, Lyra (Person Name) still exclaimed excitedly, "This second primordial fetus is so powerful, it was worth the immense depletion of my vital essence and soul."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow. The primary reason he was reluctant to refine a second nascent soul lay precisely in this.

Forging a second nascent soul requires consuming the spiritual essence equivalent to that of a True Monarch, while reconstructing a physical form for the second nascent soul also demands an immense quantity of 1's innate vital blood.

Generally speaking, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would need to expend nearly half of their primordial spirit and vital essence blood to refine a Second Primordial Embryo, then spend several 100 years to fully recover.

Lyra had cultivated the 5 Pure Yin Divine Lights and Pure Yin Divine Thunders for many years. Through the continuous tempering of the 5 Thunders Body Forging Art and the 5 Lights Spirit Refining Art, both her physical body and soul far surpassed those of ordinary True Lords. It was precisely because of this that she possessed the capability to refine this Second Primordial Embryo.

It was precisely due to these 2 profoundly mystical techniques that Lyra dared to refine her Natal Origin Embryo. Even so, she expended 30 to 40 percent of her vital essence blood and soul energy. Even with the aid of these 2 supreme methods, it would still take her a full sexagenary cycle to fully recover.

With this thought, Eldrin took out a pill that replenishes qi, blood, and spiritual essence, handing it to Lyra. He said with a hint of distress, "Your expenditure this time was too great. I fear you won’t be able to attempt breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm for the next 60 years."

"Not a problem."

Lyra shook her head with a faint smile, speaking with measured composure, "Though the expenditure was substantial this time, it did not excessively deplete my magical power. With just a few years in secluded cultivation, I can restore 80 percent of my essence blood and soul force. It won't significantly impact my combat prowess."
