Chapter 618 : A Jade of Destiny and Resolve

After the shares of the Underground Fire Vein were decided, Eldrin Chen did not linger long at the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire. That very day, he urged the Crimson Flood Dragon War Junk to set sail, flying back towards the Ji Continent.

Aboard the treasure ship, Eldrin Chen caressed the Fire Source Divine Jade with an almost reverent touch, his heart stirred by a surge of excitement.

Beside him, Lyra Jiang smiled softly and said, "With this treasure in hand, and given your comprehension that rivals a Pure Yang Dao Lord, your chances of mastering the Flame Arcane Force are certainly not small."

"Mmm," Eldrin Chen nodded, taking her hand. "This Fire Source Divine Jade produces one piece every thousand Annual Assembly. The next one will mature in just over two hundred years. When it does, you will surely be able to command the Five Elements Arcane Power as well."

"There is no rush," Lyra Jiang shook her head gently. "Let us wait until I can maintain the state of Heaven and Man Resonance [a profound state of unity between the cultivator and the natural world] more consistently."

Hearing her words, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle shift within, his eyes glinting with a trace of solemn understanding.

Back when he had first entered the state of Heaven and Man Resonance, it was not solely due to his Great Luo Nascent Soul foundation. It was also because he had slain Qin Clan's Second Ancestor, resolving a deep-seated grievance and allowing his spirit to become clear, thus ascending into that profound realm.

For Lyra Jiang to achieve Heaven and Man Resonance, she would likely need to settle the karmic debt from the past, the one involving the Liu Clan of Mara Island.

Yet, that Liu Clan was situated within the most perilous region of the Eastern Sea, the Heavenly Demon Sea Region. With their current strength, they still lacked the certainty for a successful reckoning.

This thought solidified his resolve. Eldrin Chen spoke, his voice firm, "After this Demonic Abyss Cataclysm concludes, we shall turn our focus to eradicating that Liu Clan." This novel is serialized on audio - novel . com. Visit for updates.

"Very well."

Seeing that he still remembered this matter, Lyra Jiang could not help but offer a faint smile and gave a calm nod.

The Crimson Flood Dragon War Junk hurried onward and soon arrived at Spirit Isle Lake.

After returning to his Cultivation Cave, Eldrin Chen did not immediately refine the Fire Source Divine Jade. Instead, he lit the furnace to begin concocting Nascent Soul Formation Pill [a legendary elixir that aids in the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm].

Having obtained three Flame Demon Nascent Soul [the spiritual core of a powerful fire demon], Eldrin Chen consecutively opened the furnace three times, ultimately producing eleven Nascent Soul Formation Pill. Only then were the gains from this journey fully digested.

Of these eleven Nascent Soul Formation Pill, Eldrin Chen kept four for himself. He sent three to the Tianlu Sect, and Yvonne the Violet Consort received one.

The remaining three were all given to Lingxu the Ethereal Immortal, for she had provided the crucial Heart-Purifying Spirit Liquid [a rare spiritual liquid that cleanses impurities from the soul] needed to purify the Demonic Qi [malevolent spiritual energy] within those Nascent Soul [the spiritual infant formed after the Golden Core stage].

After successfully concocting the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, Eldrin Chen's days returned to their former tranquility.

Both Lyra Jiang and Lila entered the Nirvana Pool [a mystical pool with potent healing properties] to recuperate from their injuries. Eldrin Chen stood guard for them nearby, simultaneously taking the opportunity to refine the Fire Source Divine Jade.

Time flowed on, and another twenty years passed in a blink. On this day, Eldrin Chen sat cross-legged within the Nirvana Pool, his entire body radiating a hazy crimson light.

Within him at this moment, the Nascent Soul [the spiritual core of a cultivator, formed after the Golden Core stage] radiated with five-colored light, cradling a resplendent divine jade as it ceaselessly contemplated the profound Dao Patterns [the fundamental principles and laws of the universe, etched into reality] contained within.

He was refining the Fire Source Divine Jade [a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, born from the primal essence of fire]. This divine jade was a peerless treasure of the world, yet refining it was no simple task.

Eldrin Chen had spent twenty years, and had only managed to refine a small portion of the Fire Source Divine Jade. To refine it completely would likely require several more decades.

However, on this very day, Eldrin Chen suddenly felt a profound insight. His understanding of the Dao Patterns within the Fire Source Divine Jade grew deeper and more intimate.

Unconsciously, his Mana [the refined spiritual energy wielded by cultivators] grew increasingly pure and potent. His comprehension of fire-attribute Mana reached new heights of profundity.

"So that's how it is."

Suddenly, Eldrin Chen opened his eyes, a look of ecstatic joy flashing within them.

At this very moment, he gained a completely new understanding of the Flame Arcane Force [a profound mystical power derived from the essence of fire]. An ineffable epiphany surged into his heart.

In that instant, the Mana within his body underwent a sublime transformation. The fire-attribute Mana cultivated through the Solar Separated Flame Scripture [a profound cultivation manual focusing on solar and flame energies] suddenly experienced a startling metamorphosis.

A supremely brilliant, golden flame erupted from within Eldrin Chen, carrying a power that could incinerate all things. It enveloped his physical body in a radiant, all-consuming aura.

"This is..."

Even Lila nearby was startled, her face filled with shock as she looked over.

Lyra Jiang's beautiful eyes also flickered, and she exclaimed with rapturous joy, "It's the Heavenly Flame Arcane Force [a legendary, advanced form of fire-attribute spiritual power]."

Hearing her words, Lila finally understood the astonishing nature of Eldrin Chen's Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by a Golden Core realm expert].

Cultivators with Multiple Spiritual Roots [innate affinities for multiple elemental energies] can rely on a Deep-Seated Foundation [an exceptionally profound and stable cultivation base] to break through to the Primordial Spirit [Nascent Soul] realm. However, the Mana and Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure nurtured and grown alongside a cultivator's own life force] of Single Spiritual Root [possessing an affinity for only a single elemental energy] cultivators are comparatively thinner, making the breakthrough to Primordial Spirit far more arduous.

Yet, the Great Dao [the fundamental principle of the universe] has three thousand paths, and each can lead to enlightenment. The path of the Single Spiritual Root cultivator is not necessarily a dead end. For the best reading experience, visit (audio-novel.com).

For them, the best method to achieve a Primordial Spirit breakthrough is to master the advanced power inherent in their own Mana.

For instance, a cultivator with an Ice Spiritual Root can seek enlightenment in the legendary Profound Ice Power [a supreme ice-attribute arcane force]. Similarly, a cultivator with a Metal Spiritual Root can aspire to wield the fabled Geng Metal Arcane Power [a supreme metal-attribute arcane force].

And a cultivator with a Fire Spiritual Root can sublimate their Mana, elevating it into an advanced force of even greater power and profound mystery.

At the very zenith of the fire attribute's path, legend speaks of several roads that lead directly to the Great Dao itself.

They are respectively the Pure Yang Celestial Flame [a supreme flame of ultimate yang purity], the Netherworld Soul Fire [a ghostly fire from the underworld that sears souls], the Southern Brightness Sunfire [the primordial solar fire of the Vermilion Bird], the Red Lotus Karmic Fire [a flame that burns through the bonds of fate and karma], the Samadhi True Fire [an inner fire of profound meditation and enlightenment], the Nirvana Fire [a flame of rebirth and transcendence], the Solar True Flame [the pure essence of the sun's fire], and other such paths.

If one can comprehend even a single one of these flames, their chances of Ascend to Immortal Eternity [achieving immortality and eternal life] would increase by no less than thirty percent.

For these flames embody the Great Dao [the fundamental principle of existence] itself; they are manifestations of its power. Merely grasping the basics of one places one at the legendary level of Immortal Dao Laws [the comprehension and manipulation of immortal-level natural laws].

Take the Southern Brightness Sunfire, for instance. It is the innate True Flame [a cultivator's core, perfected flame] of the Vermilion Bird [a mythical immortal avian of the south], a celestial beast of the Immortal Realm [the realm of immortals]. This fire consumes all things; not even an Immortal [a being who has achieved immortality] would dare touch it.

Or consider the Netherworld Soul Fire. It is a supreme flame only the overlords among Ghost Immortal [immortals who cultivate through ghostly or underworld paths] within the Nine Nether Underworld [the deepest, most profound layers of the underworld] can master, one that suppresses the living souls of countless beings.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Nirvana Fire, and the Solar True Flame require little further explanation. Mastering the fundamentals of any one is sufficient to become a Nine Heavens Immortal [an immortal sovereign of the highest heavens] who commands the Flame Law [the fundamental law governing all flames].

What Eldrin Chen contemplates is the Heavenly Flame Arcane Force [a profound, esoteric power derived from celestial flames]. This force is considered a precursor to the Pure Yang Celestial Flame. Cultivating it to its ultimate end allows one to comprehend the Pure Yang Celestial Flame.

That Pure Yang Celestial Flame is the fire of ultimate yang [the active, bright, masculine principle] in heaven and earth, the essence of the world's Pure Yang [absolute yang] righteous energy. It is the bane of all demons and evil spirits.

Once such a supreme flame is fully cultivated to its pinnacle, one can coalesce the Pure Yang Great Dao [the Great Dao of Pure Yang], becoming a lofty Great Luo Immortal Lord [an immortal lord of the Great Luo Heaven, a supreme realm]. Such a being would be counted among the exalted powers throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

Alas, a True Flame of such profound Dao is not easily mastered. In all the vast Immortal Realm, those who have used this Great Dao to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo Heaven] likely number only one or two, figures of Celestial Court Emperor Lord [Emperor-Lord of the Celestial Court] stature.

"Haa—"

Eldrin Chen drew in a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and withdrew the Celestial Flames [a supreme, purifying fire of heavenly origin] that wreathed his form.

He condensed a wisp of Celestial Flame Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators], examined it for a moment, and declared, "With this Celestial Flame Mana, the purity of my Mana has increased by a full fifty percent."

"Moreover, this fire possesses immense potency against evil and demonic forces. From now on, even a Nascent Soul Late Stage [the peak stage of the Nascent Soul cultivation realm] Demonic Cultivator [a cultivator who uses unorthodox, often malevolent methods] may not necessarily be my match."

As he spoke, a faint smile touched Eldrin Chen's lips.

This time, he had actually gained insights into three distinct arcane forces: the Celestial Flame, the Separated Flame [a mystical flame born from division and isolation], and the Solar Truefire.

When cultivated to its ultimate end, the Separated Flame Arcane Force [the profound power derived from the Separated Flame] allows one to glimpse the Great Dao of the Southern Brightness Sunfire [the supreme solar fire of the southern quadrant]. The Vermilion Bird [a divine avian beast, one of the Four Symbols] clan, which holds sovereignty over this Dao, has also produced mighty Immortal Lords of the Great Luo Golden Immortal [the pinnacle realm of immortal cultivation] level.
