Chapter 592 : The Nascent Soul's Ascent

However, Eldrin Chen was not overly concerned about him. After consuming the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill, Kael Chen's cultivation had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Second Layer.

With such strength, he could roam the world unhindered. As long as he did not provoke overly powerful enemies, his chances of preserving his life were still extremely high.

"Having reached this stage, it is time for him to forge a formidable reputation across the land. It is indeed time for him to venture forth."

Eldrin Chen said with a faint smile, his heart settling slightly.

After a moment of contemplation, she inquired further, "How has Uncle Lior been faring these years? Has he broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"Not yet." Thalion Chen shook his head and replied helplessly, "Lior's foundation is insufficient. Even after taking the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, he only managed to advance to the False Nascent Soul Realm."

"He is reluctant to consume the Azure Lotus Seed, saying it would be a waste to use it now. He believes it is better to save it for a time when his chances of success are greater."

"Alas."

Eldrin Chen sighed inwardly, acknowledging the truth in the other's words.

The odds of breaking through to Nascent Soul [the stage where a cultivator's spirit forms an independent infant-like entity] from an Inferior Golden Core [a flawed and weak Golden Core foundation] are inherently slim. Without the aid of a Nascent Soul Formation Pill [a legendary elixir that assists in forming the Nascent Soul], such individuals would have virtually no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. Only those with a Middle Golden Core [a Golden Core of moderate quality] can truly be considered to possess True Lord Potential [the latent capacity to become a True Lord]. This chapter appears courtesy of audio–novel.com.

The reason Daoyi Qiu was able to achieve a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul [the stage where a cultivator forms an independent spiritual entity] was primarily because his foundation was a Middle Golden Core [a mid-grade solidified spiritual core]. In contrast, Xavier Xu also possessed an Inferior Golden Core [a lower-grade solidified spiritual core], yet ultimately failed in his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul.

Suppressing a sigh within his heart, Eldrin Chen spoke, "For his next attempt at the Nascent Soul breakthrough, we must ensure he consumes an Azure Lotus Seed [a legendary spiritual seed that purifies and stabilizes the cultivator's foundation]."

"Agreed."

Thalion Chen nodded. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "He is the last scion of the Qing Generation [a specific lineage or branch within the clan]. If he cannot break through to Nascent Soul before his lifespan is exhausted, I will go to the Heaven's Profound Sect to purchase a Profound Water Immortal Pear [a miraculous fruit said to extend a cultivator's vital essence and lifespan] for him."

Eldrin Chen was silent for a time before finally saying, "If it truly comes to that, it should be I, as the junior, who provides the support."

The Old Patriarch nodded, offering no further words on the matter.

Now, with six True Lord [a title for Golden Core stage powerhouses] within the Chen Clan lineage, their status and standing were vastly different from the past. If they pooled their resources to fully support a single True Lord, it was not entirely impossible—though the cost would be staggering.

After bidding farewell to Thalion Chen, Eldrin Chen returned to Spirit Isle Lake, and his days settled back into their former tranquility and quietude.

He divided his time between instructing his disciples, consolidating his own cultivation insights, and, in moments of leisure, attempting to cultivate new Divine Ability [profound supernatural techniques].

Thus, in what seemed like a blur, more than a dozen years slipped by.

On this day, Eldrin Chen sat cross-legged outside the Cultivation Cave of the Spirit Vein, continuously deducing the principles of his Divine Ability and evolving the myriad secret patterns of the Heavenly Secrets [profound arts of celestial mysteries].

The Divine Ability he was evolving were the Great Derivation Heaven Art and the Stellar Glazed Body [a supreme physique akin to stars forged in glass]. His talent was exceptionally high, and he possessed a deep innate aptitude for the Heavenly Secrets Dao [the Dao Path of Celestial Mysteries].

As his comprehension of these two Great Divine Ability [supreme supernatural powers] deepened over the years, he had vaguely sensed a not insignificant point of commonality between them.

Now, he was attempting to fuse these two Divine Ability. He wished to use these two Great Divine Ability of the Heavenly Secrets as his Deep-Seated Foundation [profound and unshakable cultivation base], merging the strengths of both Divine Ability to create an entirely new Great Divine Ability.

Eldrin Chen had an indistinct premonition. Once he successfully merged these two Great Divine Ability, it would be sufficient to create a Quasi-Pure Yang Divine Ability [a divine ability approaching the purity and power of Pure Yang].

"Once the fusion succeeds, perhaps I can refine it into my third Lifebound Divine Ability [a divine ability intrinsically bound to one's life and cultivation]," he murmured to himself.

Then, he sensed a powerful aura erupting from the Seclusion Chamber behind him. Immediately after, Lyra Jiang emerged from the Seclusion Chamber.

Aided by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach [a celestial fruit that condenses heaven and earth's spiritual essence], Lyra Jiang's cultivation progress had been swift. In recent years, her frequent dual cultivation with Eldrin Chen through the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant [a pact for mutual cultivation balancing Yin and Yang energies] had greatly accelerated her advancement. This seclusion had been for her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier.

Having successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier, she was in excellent spirits. She cast a glance at Eldrin Chen, her eyes seductive and silken. "Since you stood guard for me," she said, "I shall reward you properly."

Eldrin Chen: "…"

After a period of cultivation, Eldrin Chen held Lyra Jiang close and said, "During your seclusion, Virtuous Peak sent an Invitation Letter."

"Magnus the Virtuous's disciple, Verdant Spirit True Lord, recently achieved a Nascent Soul [the stage where a cultivator's Golden Core transforms into an infant spiritual form] breakthrough. They are inviting us to the celebration feast."

Lyra Jiang's beautiful eyes flickered. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Magnus the Virtuous has shown us much guidance and favor. This time, we must bring a generous gift."

"I understand," Eldrin Chen nodded, then continued, "Verdant Spirit True Lord is a Wood Spiritual Root [an innate affinity for the Wood element, governing growth and vitality] cultivator. Our clan still has a portion of Fifth Rank Arcane Gold. Let's gift it to him for forging his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact intimately connected to a cultivator's life force and cultivation base]."

The Chen Clan's Fifth Rank Arcane Gold was obtained from the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor. While the crafting method for that demon emperor's lifebound war spear was crude, the materials used were exceedingly abundant.

After Eldrin Chen refined it, the resulting Fifth Rank Arcane Gold was sufficient to forge two Fifth Rank Spiritual Treasure [powerful magical artifacts corresponding to the Nascent Soul realm]. One portion was exchanged by Kael Chen, leaving this remaining portion as the perfect choice for crafting a Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.

Virtuous Peak was a sea of people. The former Verdant Spirit True Person, now Verdant Spirit True Lord, wore a joyful expression as he attended to several honored guests.

Today, more than thirty Nascent Soul True Lord had arrived, among them powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Each was an exceedingly prestigious figure within the world.

Verdant Spirit True Lord understood perfectly well that his own advancement to Nascent Soul would, at most, warrant congratulations from a few nearby Nascent Soul cultivators. The reason for such a large gathering was entirely due to the face of his Master.

How exalted was the status of Magnus the Virtuous! He possessed the Virtuous Dao Body [a rare physique aligned with the Dao of Virtue and righteousness], and was a peerless Heaven's Chosen [a title for those blessed with extraordinary talent by heaven itself] who had formed a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul of the highest quality, aligned with the Heavenly Dao]. Within the vast Three Veins Ancient Domain, he ranked among the top thirty figures.

At that very moment, as Verdant Spirit True Lord was lost in these thoughts, a Golden Core Cultivator approached and whispered something beside him.

Upon hearing it, Verdant Spirit True Lord hastily cupped his hands towards the others and said with a smile, "My apologies, esteemed Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for cultivators on the same path], I must excuse myself to welcome a few close friends."

"Oh?"

The others smiled faintly. Among them, a refined-looking man inquired with a chuckle, "Might I ask which Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for cultivators on the same path] has arrived?"

Verdant Spirit True Lord smiled and replied, "It is none other than the Dao Companion pair, Eldrin, the Abyssal Daoist and his partner."

"Eldrin, the Abyssal Daoist!"

The group's expressions shifted to surprise. The refined man straightened his posture with newfound respect and declared, "So it is the Ji Continent Sword Immortal [a title for a supreme swordmaster from the Ji Continent] who triumphed over the Purple Jade Demon Emperor! I shall accompany you to greet them."

Seeing this, the other True Lord [a title for a high-level cultivator] promptly stepped forward as well, all chiming in with smiles, "We shall all go to pay our respects."

Verdant Spirit True Lord was taken aback for a moment, then could only shake his head with a wry laugh.

Most True Lord [a title for a high-level cultivator] of the mid to late Nascent Soul [the stage of cultivation where one forms an infant spiritual form] stage were being hosted by his own Master. Those he himself was receiving were merely a few early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, whose future potential likely could not surpass his own.

It has been less than a century since Eldrin Chen achieved his Nascent Soul breakthrough, yet he can already contend with a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Such a being is destined to become a Late Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator in the future, and may very well ascend to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the spiritual core realm beyond the Nascent Soul]. No wonder these individuals seek to curry favor.

This is only natural. If one does not seize the chance to make an impression while he is still young, by the time he cultivates to Nascent Soul Great Perfection or even the Primordial Spirit Realm, myself would likely find the door to such flattery firmly shut.

"How swiftly time flows,"

"In the span of mere centuries, the Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] who once sought my introduction to Master has, in the blink of an eye, become an existence I must look up to."

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Verdant Spirit True Lord shook his head once more.

At the very least, he was Eldrin Chen's friend of many years. This alone placed him far above the other True Lord [a title for a powerful cultivator] present who merely sought an opportunistic connection. This chapter is provided by www . audio-novel.com. Support the original.
