Chapter 780 : The Five Secrets' Convergence

The Primordial Chaos Metal Arcane Power, long suppressed by the Pure Yang Flame and Profound Nether Water, unexpectedly found a profound resonance with the Myriad Things Earth Esoteric Power. Together, they entered a stalemate against the opposing forces of fire and water Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body], plunging into a strange and precarious equilibrium.

"It is done."

Eldrin Chen let out a sigh of relief. Successfully cultivating the Myriad Things Earth Esoteric Power filled him with immense gratification.

Although comprehending this Myriad Things Earth Esoteric Power had increased his Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body] by less than one-tenth, it nonetheless brought him one crucial step closer to the ultimate goal of mastering all five Secret Power [profound and esoteric forces derived from the fundamental elements of creation]. This progress brought him profound solace.

He harbored a deep intuition: once he fully unraveled the mysteries of all five Secret Power [profound and esoteric forces derived from the fundamental elements of creation], a startling metamorphosis would occur within his Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body].

"Now that the Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body] transformation is complete, it is time to break through."

Suppressing the whirlwind of thoughts, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, a flicker of resolve in his eyes.

The resources at his disposal far surpassed what any ordinary True Lord [a title for a cultivator who has reached the Golden Core realm] could hope to amass. Two hundred years after his initial breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, 7th Tier [the seventh stage of the Nascent Soul realm], he had consumed numerous rare Spiritual Object [objects imbued with or containing spiritual energy, used to aid cultivation] to enhance his cultivation. His Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body] was now flawless and perfectly harmonized.

Seizing the opportunity presented by this process of refining his Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body], he had further polished and tempered it. This was the perfect moment to attempt a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, 8th Tier [the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm].

With such a formidable foundation, overcoming the bottleneck to the Nascent Soul, 8th Tier [the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul realm] was as natural as water flowing downhill. In merely half a month's time, he emerged from seclusion, his advancement complete. Support the author by reading on @udio-novel.com.

When he emerged from seclusion, he discovered Lila had been waiting for quite some time.

With a sweep of his divine sense [a cultivator's spiritual perception], he found Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort were also waiting. He inquired directly, "Wasn't Lyra contemplating her third Secret Power [a profound and unique ability derived from one's cultivation path]? Why has she emerged so early?"

"Word has come from the Guyuan Mountain Range," she replied.

Lyra Jiang spoke directly, her face alight with excitement. "The Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree [a legendary spiritual tree bearing immortal pears] has ascended [reached a higher grade of spiritual power]."

"Is it truly so?"

Eldrin Chen's face erupted in wild joy. He immediately rose to his feet. "Come, let us go see it at once."

Within the clan now, although the Enlightenment Blossom Tree was also a Sixth Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root [a spiritual plant of the highest earthly grade], it remained incomplete. It would still require three or four hundred years to fully restore its Sixth Rank [peak earthly] potency.

In comparison, this newly ascended Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree could rightfully be called the clan's first true Sixth Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.

Such a supreme treasure, its value nearly impossible to measure in mere wealth, explained why Eldrin Chen was so profoundly moved.

The four of them wasted no time along the way, directly utilizing a Teleportation Formation [a magical array for instantaneous travel] to reach the Guyuan Mountain Range. There, they found the Old Patriarch had already arrived ahead of them.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within the Spirit Vein of Gu Yuan Mountain was so dense it was nearly tangible, having clearly advanced in one fell swoop to the Sixth Rank realm.

Thalion Chen was engaged in a pleasant conversation with Maris Dao Lord. Seeing Eldrin Chen arrive, he exclaimed with delight, "You've come at the perfect time. Come, take a look at this Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree."

"Brother Maris, Old Granduncle."

After exchanging greetings, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree.

Upon the tree, he saw only three solitary immortal pears, each brimming with an extraordinarily potent Primordial Essence Power [a fundamental, earth-derived spiritual power].

He promptly activated his Divine Ability to divine its nature. He discovered that this Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree blooms once every three hundred years, bears fruit once every three hundred years, and then requires another three hundred years for the fruit to ripen. In essence, it takes a full Millennium to produce just three Profound Water Immortal Pear.

The resulting Profound Water Immortal Pear contains the elusive, foundational Qi [vital energy] of the earth itself. While it cannot directly increase a cultivator's cultivation base, it can enhance their chances of successfully guiding their Earth Soul Guidance [the process of awakening and merging with one's earthly soul essence] by twenty percent.

Realizing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.

For a cultivator, successfully guiding their Earth Soul Guidance signifies a breakthrough into the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm.

Once a mighty cultivator takes this step, their Mana [cultivation power/reserves] doubles compared to a Nascent Soul Great Perfection expert. Across the entire Eastern Wastelands, there are scarcely thirty or forty individuals who have reached this level.

The Profound Water Immortal Pear [a mystical fruit that enhances one's affinity with water and earth] can increase the likelihood of successfully cultivating the Earth Soul Guidance [a profound cultivation method for guiding the earth-attuned soul]. Its value is truly immeasurable. When used by a suitable cultivator, it can, roughly every Millennium [a period of one thousand years], contribute to the emergence of one or two new Half-Step Primordial Spirit [cultivators who have partially ascended beyond the Golden Core realm but have not fully formed a Primordial Spirit].

Do not think one or two Half-Step Primordial Spirit is a small number. Within the Eastern Wastelands [a vast and perilous region east of the central human territories], Half-Step Primordial Spirit are exceedingly rare to begin with. Of the thirty-some individuals at this realm, many have lived for seven or eight thousand years.

Factoring in those Half-Step Primordial Spirit who have fallen in battle over the years, on average, every Millennium, the Eastern Wastelands typically sees only about five or six newly advanced Half-Step Primordial Spirit.

The fact that the Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree [an ancient, spiritually potent pear tree] can nurture one or two Half-Step Primordial Spirit every Millennium speaks volumes about the preciousness of this tree.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen sighed and said, "What a pity this Profound Water Immortal Pear is of no use in guiding the Heavenly Soul [the celestial aspect of a cultivator's soul, crucial for the highest breakthroughs]. Otherwise, its value would multiply severalfold."

"Treasures that aid in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the realm of the formed spiritual core, a major milestone] are exceedingly rare. You might be asking for too much, my friend." Published by audio . novel . com. All rights reserved.

Maris the Sea Steader, standing nearby, could not help but shake his head with a wry smile at this.

The others present also chuckled. A Nascent Soul Pill [a legendary elixir that assists in forming the Nascent Soul, the foundation of the Primordial Spirit realm] that can help a cultivator guide their Heavenly Soul commands a sky-high price of over ten thousand Heavenly Crystal [a purified, high-grade form of Spirit Stone, the highest currency among cultivators].

Within the Eastern Wastelands, only one or two batches of Nascent Soul Pill are refined every Millennium. The yield is meager—sometimes as few as three or four pills, at most only seven or eight.

Yet, despite this scarcity, every time a batch of Nascent Soul Pill is completed, it sparks a frenzied competition among the great powers. Ten thousand Heavenly Crystal is merely the starting bid.

The Sixth Rank Profound Water Immortal Pear [a legendary spiritual fruit] borne by the Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree is only useful for breaking through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a transitional state just below the Primordial Spirit realm], which significantly diminishes its value. However, it is estimated that each fruit could still fetch a price exceeding three thousand Heavenly Crystal [a high-purity form of spiritual energy crystal].

Calculated this way, the Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree, which yields three fruits every Millennium [a period of one thousand years], would bring Eldrin Chen astonishing wealth, enough to make even a Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a supreme expert at the Nascent Soul realm] envious.

Eldrin Chen could not help but smile. He harvested the three Profound Water Immortal Pear and then took his leave from Maris the Sea Steader.

The group returned to Verdant Chariot Mountain. Eldrin Chen brought the Old Patriarch and his three Dao Companions to the Grand Hall. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke:

"Our clan lacks a Sixth Rank storage treasure [a supreme-grade artifact for preserving spiritual items] capable of sealing the innate essence [the fundamental spiritual energy] of this Profound Water Immortal Pear from dissipating. Even with our utmost efforts, we can only preserve it for a single Millennium."

"Within our clan, in the coming Millennium, those who will need to use this item are Lila and the Old Granduncle. Now we have one extra. Let us discuss how to allocate them."

Upon hearing this, they all exchanged glances.

Among the many cultivators of the Chen Clan, those with the fastest cultivation progress are Eldrin Chen and his three Dao Companions, along with his clan elder brother, Kael Chen.

However, among them, apart from Lila, the others do not require external aids for their Earth Soul Guidance [a profound cultivation technique for guiding the Earthly Soul].

As for the rest, their cultivation progress has been slower. Ethan Chen and the clan's several newly advanced Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul [a Nascent Soul realm cultivator who ascended via the Heavenly Dao path] have only broken through to the Nascent Soul realm a few hundred years ago.

Although Elara Lin advanced early and has now broken through to the Nascent Soul, 6th Tier [the sixth major stage of cultivation where one forms an immortal soul], her innate talent and foundation are somewhat lacking. It is estimated that the threshold of the Nascent Soul Late Stage [the advanced phase of the Nascent Soul realm] will likely trap her for several hundred or even a full Millennium [a period of one thousand years].

In contrast, Thalion Chen, who cultivates the Immortal Ascension Vein-Forging Art [a profound cultivation method focused on forging and refining spiritual meridians], benefits greatly from the nourishment and empowerment of the Earth Vein [a powerful, concentrated ley line of terrestrial spiritual energy]. Consequently, the progress of his cultivation is remarkably swift.

Furthermore, by mending the calamity of the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a legendary, perilous region of eternal flames], he has earned the favor of the ineffable Heaven and Earth Will [the collective consciousness and ordained fate of the world itself]. A minor bottleneck like the Nascent Soul Late Stage will pose no significant hindrance to him.

Thus, barring unforeseen circumstances, it is anticipated that Old Granduncle will cultivate his way to the realm of Nascent Soul Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Nascent Soul realm] within a single Millennium.

With this thought, Verdant Consort spoke, "Sister Violet Consort has aided us repeatedly over the years, and she played a crucial role in slaying Xuan Fang. The extra pill should be reserved for her."
