Chapter 620 Pure Yang Divine Liquid

Chapter 1 The mountain peak pierced through the sea of clouds like a sharp sword, its summit perpetually veiled in swirling mists. At this moment, a figure stood atop the peak, robes fluttering in the wind, gazing into the distant horizon. "1 100 years have passed in the blink of an eye," Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) murmured softly, her voice as ethereal as the mountain breeze. "Yet the path of cultivation remains endless." Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to churn violently. Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) furrowed her brows slightly, sensing an unusual disturbance. She extended her jade-like hand, and a streak of cyan light shot into the sky, transforming into a Jade Sound Sword (Magic Treasure) that hovered before her. "Who goes there?" Her voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. From the swirling mists emerged a figure clad in black robes, his face obscured by shadows. "Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name), your reputation precedes you," the man spoke in a low voice. "I've come seeking the Primordial Chaos Codex (Cultivation Method)." Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) chuckled lightly, a trace of mockery flashing in her eyes. "The Primordial Chaos Codex (Cultivation Method) has been lost for thousands of years. Do you truly believe I possess it?" "Whether you have it or not, I'll find out soon enough." The black-robed man raised his hand, summoning a dark vortex that began devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. Without the slightest change in expression, Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) formed a hand seal with her fingers. The Jade Sound Sword (Magic Treasure) emitted a clear chime, transforming into thousands of sword shadows that enveloped the entire mountaintop. "The Profound 9 Swords Formation (Cultivation Method)?" The black-robed man's voice finally revealed a hint of surprise. "You've actually mastered the ninth level?" "Since you recognize this technique, you should understand its power." Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) spoke calmly. "Leave now, and I shall spare your life." The black-robed man hesitated for a moment, then let out a cold laugh. "Very well, today I shall witness for myself whether the Celestial Enchantress truly lives up to her name!" As his words fell, the dark vortex suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive black hand that reached toward Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name). At the same time, countless sinister shadows surged from within the vortex, their mournful wails piercing the soul. Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) remained unmoved, her fingers dancing like flowing water as she manipulated the sword formation. The thousands of sword shadows instantly converged, forming a brilliant net of light that cleanly severed the massive black hand. "This is impossible!" The black-robed man staggered backward, his voice filled with disbelief. "My Netherworld Demonic Art (Cultivation Method) has already reached the seventh level, how could it be so easily broken by you..." Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) paid him no mind, instead raising her head to gaze at the sky. "Since you've come, why not show yourself?" A clear laugh echoed through the clouds as a white-robed man descended from the sky, landing gracefully atop the peak. "As expected of Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name), your perception is truly remarkable." "Eldrin (Person Name), what brings you here?" Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) finally showed a slight change in expression, a faint, meaningful smile curling at the corners of her lips. Eldrin (Person Name) glanced at the black-robed man, then said lightly, "I happened to be passing by and sensed an unusual energy fluctuation, so I came to investigate." He turned to the black-robed man. "Fellow practitioner, the Primordial Chaos Codex (Cultivation Method) has been lost for millennia. Why insist on troubling the Celestial Enchantress?" The black-robed man snorted coldly. "Do you think I would believe that?" Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head slightly, a trace of pity in his eyes. "In that case, I have no choice but to intervene." As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a ball of golden light materialized in his palm. The light grew increasingly brilliant, instantly dispelling the sinister shadows around the black-robed man. "Pure Yang True Fire (Cultivation Method)!" The black-robed man exclaimed in shock, then without another word, turned into a streak of black light and fled into the distance. Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) watched the departing figure, a thoughtful gleam in her eyes. "You deliberately let him escape?" Eldrin (Person Name) smiled. "Just a minor character, not worth our concern." He paused, then continued, "However, his appearance does remind me of something." "Oh?" Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) raised an eyebrow slightly. "The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion (Organization) recently intercepted a message," Eldrin (Person Name) said gravely. "The Netherworld Sect (Organization) seems to be making moves again." Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) fell silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "After thousands of years, they still refuse to give up?" Eldrin (Person Name) sighed. "After all, the Primordial Chaos Codex (Cultivation Method) holds the secret to transcending the mortal realm and attaining divinity. Who wouldn't be tempted?" As the 2 spoke, the setting sun cast its final rays over the mountaintop, dyeing the sea of clouds a brilliant crimson. Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) gazed into the distance, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. "The great competition between the righteous and demonic paths is about to begin once more." She murmured softly, as if speaking to herself, yet also as if reminding her companion. "This time, I wonder how many will survive." Eldrin (Person Name) stepped forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her. "Regardless of the outcome, I will stand by your side." Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) turned to look at him, a faint, almost imperceptible smile finally gracing her lips. "In that case, let us face this storm together." Suddenly, a tremor ran through the Jade Sound Sword (Magic Treasure) hovering in the air, emitting a series of urgent chimes. Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) and Eldrin (Person Name) exchanged a glance, both sensing an unusual energy fluctuation coming from the depths of the mountain. "This is..." Eldrin (Person Name) frowned. Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) took a deep breath, her expression growing unusually solemn. "The secret realm is about to open." Far away in the direction the black-robed man had fled, a sinister voice echoed through a dark hall: "Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name)... hmph, soon you will understand that some things are better left unknown." A pale hand slowly unfolded an ancient scroll, upon which densely packed characters shimmered with a faint glow. If any cultivator were present, they would undoubtedly be shocked to recognize this as the long-lost Primordial Chaos Codex (Cultivation Method)! Meanwhile, in a distant mortal town, a young man wiping a sword behind a counter suddenly looked up, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Unbeknownst to him, the ordinary-looking long sword in his hand had begun to emit a faint, almost imperceptible hum. The storm was brewing.

A flicker of surprise crossed Eldrin's face, yet he nodded with an expression that suggested he had anticipated this all along.

It had already been over 1 100 years since he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and he had some general knowledge about the top Nascent Soul experts in the Eastern Wastelands.

Among those individuals, the Heavenly Mystery Sect Master naturally goes without saying. Having attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm several times in succession, it's likely his remaining lifespan is now severely depleted. After this failed breakthrough severely damaged his vitality, he may not even live to witness the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss.

Huantian Ji was the direct disciple of Riverlord Chang (Person Name), ranking among the top 10 Nascent Soul True Monarchs in Eastern Wastelands (Location). His recent breakthrough into the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) came as no surprise to those who knew his prowess.

Elder Changqing, also known as Eldrin, was not personally acquainted with the man, yet he had heard tales of his legend. It was said that this figure stood among the 30-some Half-Step Primordial Spirit powerhouses in the Eastern Wastelands, and his fame had endured for over 7 1000 years.

It was said that Daoist Changqing had made thorough preparations and offered immense promises to borrow the pure-yang spirit treasure from the Lin Clan—the foremost immortal family of the Eastern Wasteland—to transcend his heavenly tribulation.

However, this individual was simply too ancient. Although he had used the wealth accumulated over thousands of years to purchase a Soul Elixir in an attempt to break through to the Soul Formation Realm and successfully summoned his Celestial Soul,

Alas, when breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, his vitality had already waned. In the end, his spiritual power proved insufficient to activate the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure and withstand the heavenly tribulation. Ultimately, he was reduced to ashes by the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

Eldrin had also heard of Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name). This woman was the Divine Maiden of the Astral Palace, possessing the Heavenly Mystery Dao Body—1 of the Divine Bodies of the Myriad Heavens’ Stars—which corresponded to the ancient star of Alkaid, 1 of the 7 stars of the Big Dipper.

Although the Celestial Spiral Divine Body could not be considered a top-tier Dao Body, falling short of the supreme constitutions possessed by peerless prodigies like Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) and Caelum the Wavestrider (Person Name), it was nevertheless an exceptional physique that approached such exalted heights.

It is said that as early as when Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) was at the late Nascent Soul stage, the Lord of the Starry Sky Palace (Person Name) expended the sacred land’s accumulated resources to channel the power of the 9 Heavens’ stars, refining a spirit treasure for her in return.

With the full support of the Star Palace, Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) possessed a Natal Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. As early as 1 1000 years ago, she was acclaimed as the top prodigy of Eastern Wastelands (Location), her combat prowess even surpassing that of Dorian (Person Name).

Thus, Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name)'s current breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm had actually been within Eldrin (Person Name)'s expectations.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "With the addition of Daoist Dorian, the Eastern Wastelands have gained 2 Nascent Soul Dao Lords in nearly a 1000 years. Our human race is finally no longer facing a generational gap."

"Indeed, the birth of a new Dao Lord signifies that our human race has grown stronger, greatly increasing our hope of surviving the next Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss."

Lyra also spoke in this manner, feeling the pressure in her heart ease ever so slightly.

Throughout the entire Eastern Wastelands (Location), the Primordial Spirit Elixir (Pill) is refined only once every 1000 years, yielding 1 or 2 batches at most. On fortunate occasions, 1 or 2 new Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) experts might emerge, while in unlucky times, not a single soul might achieve this breakthrough.

This time, Xuan Yue the Celestial Enchantress (Person Name) advancing to the Nascent Soul stage could, at the very least, not be considered the worst outcome.

Eldrin nodded slightly before shifting his gaze to the 3 figures upon the platform. Each of them was a mighty expert at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm.

Aside from Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), the other 2 individuals were none other than the Lord of the Mysterious Void Isle, the Mysterious Void Daoist (Person Name), and the master of the Featherflight Pavilion (Location) from the Qingluan Continent (Location).

Maris the Sea Steader stood alongside 2 Half-Step Dao Lords, sensing Eldrin's gaze upon him. He responded with a slight nod and a faint smile, offering a silent acknowledgment.

Elder Xuanxu, standing nearby, brightened at the sight and remarked, "Who is that fellow? He actually caught Brother Dinghai's discerning eye."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) let out a hearty laugh before explaining, "Those are the Wayfarer of the Returning Abyss and his wife. It's said they dominate The Vast Sea (Location), having even repelled the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast)."

"Oh?" Elder Xuanxu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help remarking, "I heard they've occupied a Grade 5, Superior-grade Earth Vein. I wonder if it's true."

"I've heard of it as well."

The master of the Featherflight Pavilion nodded, yet his expression turned grave as he spoke, "However, I must advise you, fellow Daoist, not to entertain any cunning schemes. When that individual from the Ji Clan broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, they once sent me a warning—this person is not to be trifled with."

"This..."

Elder Xuanxu’s heart trembled. The only 1 who could make the Pavilion Master of Feiyu act with such caution was that peerless existence who now reigned supreme above all.

At this thought, Elder Xuanxu withdrew his contemplation and said with a light laugh, "Fellow Daoist, you overthink this. It is merely a top-grade, fifth-order earth vein."

"If it were unclaimed land, that would be 1 matter. But since it already has an owner, this old man would hardly be shameless enough to seize it."

"Very well." The Master of Feiyun Pavilion smiled faintly, then continued, "With the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss looming, ordinary True Monarchs may be excused, but those of us aspiring to reach the Nascent Soul realm are pillars of the human race. It would be better for us to stand united."

Eldrin remained unaware of the others' conversation. After greeting a few familiar friends, he quietly awaited the commencement of the Trading Assembly.

The first to ascend the platform at this Trading Assembly was none other than Daoist Xuanxu. Upon stepping onto the elevated stage, he swept his sleeve and unveiled several treasures.

"This old man still has a few useless items in his possession. You may all make offers, and if suitable, you are welcome to purchase them."

Eldrin cast a glance and discovered that several of the treasures were all fifth-tier rarities. Among them, the most precious were 2 Heavenly Dao Pills.

Unfortunately, among these treasures, there were none of the precious items Eldrin sought—the Fire Source Divine Jade or the Heavenly Tribulation Flower.

Yet the Lord of the Heavenly Abode beside him beamed with delight. He produced a crimson-black crown—a superior demonic treasure left behind by the Infernal Demon Monarch—and inquired, "Might I exchange this for the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object)?"

"Agreed!"

Elder Xuanxu nodded, finalizing the transaction with the Sky Abode Sect Master.

That black-red crown was crafted from extraordinary materials, yet to utilize it, 1 would need to smelt it down to extract its components. Its worth fell considerably short of a superior spirit treasure.

However, since this item could ultimately be used to refine superior spiritual treasures, exchanging it for the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) still left him with a modest profit.

After completing this transaction, both parties were thoroughly pleased. The master of Tianlu Sect excitedly took the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object), feeling as if the Nascent Soul Late Stage had never been so within his reach before.

The Transcendent Void Elder quickly traded away the spiritual object in his possession. The next to step forward was Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name).

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) raised his hand and released 3 spiritual artifacts: a treasure bracelet, a treasure vase, and a cauldron of elixirs.

"The 3 treasures I have presented are the Vajra Bracelet, the Pure Yang Divine Elixir, and the Soul-Tempering Pill."

As Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) recounted the tale, Eldrin (Person Name) came to understand the origins of these treasures.

That Vajra Bracelet was a superior-grade spiritual treasure, while the Refining Spirit Elixir was a precious pill that enhanced a cultivator's spiritual power, its grade reaching as high as upper fifth-tier. It was said that consuming it could increase a Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual power by 30 percent.

The treasure vase contained the Divine Sun Liquid, a sixth-tier treasure that typically only formed within sixth-tier ancestral veins.

The Pure Yang Divine Liquid was a supreme treasure for artifact refinement. It was said that when forging a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure, adding just 1 portion could enhance its power by 10 to 20 percent.

Chapter 1: The Reborn Eldrin The sky above the 9 Heavens Continent was torn asunder by a blinding pillar of light. Countless cultivators watched in awe as the legendary Eldrin (Person Name), having survived the 9 Tribulations Heavenly Retribution, vanished into the shimmering radiance. "Has he ascended?" murmured an elder with a long white beard, his voice trembling. "No," whispered another, his face pale. "He has fallen." ... In the mortal realm, within a small, dilapidated room of the Lin Family in Floating Cloud City, a young man suddenly opened his eyes. "Where... am I?" he whispered hoarsely. A flood of foreign memories surged into his mind—Lin Xuan (Person Name), the 15-year-old son of a declining cultivation family, who had just died from severe internal injuries inflicted during a clan competition. A cold gleam flashed in the young man's eyes. "To think I, Eldrin, 1 of the supreme Immortal Venerables of the 9 Heavens, would be reborn in the body of a low-level Qi Refining Stage youth. What irony." He attempted to circulate his spiritual power, but a sharp pain shot through his meridians. "This body is truly weak. My cultivation has regressed to the very beginning, but my spiritual sense remains at the Immortal Venerable level. This is both a catastrophe and an opportunity." Suddenly, the wooden door creaked open. A girl of 12 or 13 years old entered, her face thin and pale, holding a cracked ceramic bowl. "Big brother, you're awake!" she exclaimed, her eyes reddening. "I was so worried. This is the last Healing Pellet (Elixir) we have..." Eldrin—now Lin Xuan—looked at the girl, Lin Xiaodie (Person Name), his nominal younger sister in this life, according to the memories he had inherited. A flicker of unfamiliar emotion stirred within his ancient, hardened heart. "Don't cry," he said, his voice softer than intended. "I'm fine." He accepted the bowl. Inside was a dull, low-grade Healing Pellet, a paltry thing he would have once scorned. Yet now, it was their only means of survival. "Those bullies from the main family went too far!" Lin Xiaodie said angrily. "They crippled big brother's cultivation just for a mere 300 spirit stones!" Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. "300 spirit stones, you say?" A cold smile touched his lips. "They crippled a clansman's future for a mere 300 spirit stones? How... amusing." He carefully absorbed the medicinal efficacy of the pellet. Although it was inferior, under the guidance of his Immortal Venerable-level spiritual sense, the energy was perfectly refined, beginning to slowly repair his damaged meridians. "Xiaodie," he said after a moment, "go and rest. I need to cultivate." After Lin Xiaodie left, worry still evident on her face, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the hard wooden bed. "The 'Primal Chaos Genesis Codex (Cultivation Method)' I cultivated in my previous life was incomplete, which ultimately led to my downfall during the Heavenly Tribulation. Now, I have a chance to start over, to build a truly flawless foundation." He closed his eyes, circulating a profound and ancient technique unknown in this realm. The surrounding spiritual energy began to stir, slowly gathering towards the small room. "Since I've been given a second chance, I shall tread the path of cultivation anew. In this life, I will reach the pinnacle and truly grasp the Great Dao!" His low whisper echoed in the quiet room, carrying the unwavering determination of a former supreme expert. Outside the window, a crescent moon hung in the sky, its faint light illuminating the night of Floating Cloud City, and also heralding the beginning of a brand new legend.
