Chapter 699 Great Yin-Yang Star Dao of Dayan

However, Eldrin did not stop there. He integrated this divine ability into his Nascent Soul, merging it into his third innate supernatural power.

"Bzzz—"

As this divine ability merged with Eldrin's Great Luo Nascent Soul, it was immediately nourished by the soul's reciprocal essence.

1 after another, the Dao patterns were refined in return, evolving and perfecting to an astonishingly profound realm.

Though still some way from mastering the Sixth-Level Pure Yang Divine Art, Eldrin could sense its power far surpassed ordinary Quasi-Pure Yang techniques. Only 1 final breakthrough stood between him and attaining the Quasi-Pure Yang Divine Art.

According to his estimation, by the time he cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage, he would likely be able to elevate this divine ability to the level of Pure Yang divine ability through the feedback from his origin and his continuous refinements.

This was truly astonishing, for even among Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) Patriarchs, aside from exceptional prodigies like Dorian (Person Name) and the Azure Truth Sovereign, most were incapable of cultivating divine abilities of such caliber.

At this thought, Eldrin gazed upon his innate divine ability and murmured, "This power is 1 of celestial secrets, merging the strengths of the Great Derivation Heavenly Art, the Yin-Yang Annihilation Soul-Crushing Curse, and the Stellar Glazed Body into a single transcendent art."

"Let it be named the Great Yin-Yang Constellation Dao."

Having integrated the ‘Great Yin-Yang Constellation Art’, Eldrin felt a surge of elation in his heart.

The Great Luo Nascent Soul could integrate 4 innate supernatural powers. So far, he had successively integrated 3: the 5-Colored Divine Light, the 5-Colored Divine Thunder, and this 'Great Yin-Yang Constellation Dao'. Only 1 final innate supernatural power remained to achieve perfection.

He had been contemplating that final divine ability for many years, yet such a power was far too earth-shattering, making its mastery no easy feat.

"By my reckoning, this secluded cultivation of mine has lasted over 40 years. It's time to emerge from seclusion."

Suppressing his stray thoughts, Eldrin gathered his belongings and emerged from the seclusion chamber.

It was only then that Eldrin noticed Lyra had emerged from her secluded cultivation.

After many years apart, the 2 missed each other dearly and gathered beneath the spirit peach tree.

Seeing his delighted expression, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "It seems you've gained significant insights from this seclusion."

"Hmm, I've comprehended an innate divine ability."

Eldrin said with a smile before explaining the situation to Lyra. He then asked, "How much progress have you made in your secluded cultivation this time?"

"Everything went rather smoothly."

Lyra nodded. This time, she had been in seclusion for just over 1 cycle of 60 years, during which she successively refined the Water Origin Divine Jade and the Fire Origin Divine Jade, reaping immense benefits.

This time, she not only increased her magical power by 30 percent, but also comprehended 2 types of arcane forces: the Celestial Water Arcane Force from the Water Element Arcane Forces and the True Fire Arcane Force from the Fire Element Arcane Forces.

It is said that by cultivating the Secret Power of Heavenly Water within to its extreme, 1 can comprehend the Law of Primal Water of Heaven, while cultivating True Fire to its pinnacle enables ascension to immortality through the Law of Samadhi True Fire.

Lyra's comprehension of these 2 astonishing arcane forces led to a tremendous enhancement in both her spiritual power and combat prowess. Her strength now ranked among the powerful even at the late Nascent Soul stage, coming remarkably close to matching those at the Great Perfection realm of Nascent Soul.

At this thought, Eldrin said joyfully, "Since you now command 2 types of arcane power simultaneously, your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage are greatly enhanced. The path of cultivation has finally become much smoother for you."

A flicker of delight also crossed Lyra's (Person Name) features, yet she continued, "By the way, judging by the timing, the first Grand Barter of the 3 Veins Ancient Domain since the Abyssal Cataclysm is about to commence."

"The trade gathering this time is being held at Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location). We should go take a look as well."

"Good."

Eldrin nodded slightly. In the blink of an eye, 1 100 years had passed since the cataclysm of the Demon Abyss.

After a century of nurturing the sacred artifact, among the Nascent Soul cultivators who participated in the battle, aside from those severely injured, many had already recovered and emerged from seclusion. It was time to convene an Exchange Assembly.

The great war of yesteryear reshaped the landscape of the Eastern Wastelands. The Celestial Mystery Sect of the 3 Veins Ancient Domain never recovered from its decline, now merely clinging to survival by relying on the Spirit Mountain.

After the demise of Elder Xuanxu, the entire Xuanxu Continent fell into decline. Meanwhile, the Featherflight Pavilion Master, whose corporeal form had been destroyed, remained in seclusion, reconstructing his physical body.

After careful consideration, the Heaven's Spine Mountains where Magnus the Virtuous Lord resided had unexpectedly become 1 of the most powerful peak factions among the 3 ancient domains. Thus, the inaugural Grand Barter Assembly naturally fell upon the Virtuous Summit to host.

At this thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "For the past 100 years, we've either been in seclusion or recovering from injuries. It's time we emerged to understand the current landscape of the Eastern Wastelands after the great calamity."

Due to the close proximity, even though the Trading Assembly was still a year away, Eldrin and Lyra arrived early at the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

Chapter 1 No sooner had he arrived at Heaven's Spine Mountains (Location) than Eldrin (Person Name) was summoned by Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name). Upon seeing Eldrin (Person Name), Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "My injuries have yet to fully heal, so it would be inconvenient for me to emerge from seclusion for this Grand Barter Convention."

"Therefore, I wish to entrust the hosting of this Trading Assembly to you."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this and said with a faint smile, "True Monarch, rest assured. I alone can handle this matter."

In truth, it was well within expectations that Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) had entrusted him with presiding over the Exchange Assembly.

Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) was but a lone cultivator. Though he had quite a few disciples under his tutelage, their numbers were truly negligible compared to the hundreds of thousands—even millions—of cultivators typically found in Nascent Soul immortal clans and established sects.

With so few disciples, how could it be easy to nurture a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

Even though Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) had been nurturing his disciples, there were currently only 2 Eldrin True Monarchs under his tutelage, 1 of whom had just broken through to the Eldrin realm in the past 20-some years.

With merely 2 Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivators, hosting an exchange gathering of this caliber was simply inadequate. Only Eldrin (Person Name)'s prestige and renown could command such an occasion.

"Your status is now far from ordinary. You need only entertain fellow Daoists at the late Nascent Soul stage. Let Qingling and Qingxiao handle the common visitors."

Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) spoke thus before continuing with a light laugh, "When the matter is accomplished, you shall take half the commission."

"How can this be?"

Eldrin was momentarily taken aback before hurriedly waving his hand in polite refusal.

Hosting an exchange convention is a rare grand occasion, as the organizers can receive a percentage commission.

While this commission may seem modest at first glance, it involves transactions among over a 100 Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Behind this lie connections to over a 100 Nascent Soul immortal clans, and the treasures being traded are all supreme-grade artifacts of the fifth rank or higher.

The commission amount was astronomical. Even if Eldrin only took half, he would likely receive treasures worth over a billion spirit stones—equivalent to 3 centuries of meticulous management across the Chen family's spiritual veins and business enterprises.

And this was essentially free income. The spirit stones earned from the Chen Family’s spirit vein had to be distributed as allowances to a large family of cultivators, not to mention the substantial upfront investment costs.

Seeing Eldrin decline, Magnus the Virtuous Lord chuckled, "I am but a lone cultivator, and the Haoran Peak has merely 3 Nascent Soul elders. We generally lack the capacity to host an Exchange Convention."
