Chapter 744 : The Violet Aura's Diminishing Light

For over a thousand years, except for those rare occasions when he was truly unable to extricate himself, he had almost ceaselessly absorbed the essence of the Sun and Moon to transform it into Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [a supreme, primordial energy of creation and chaos]. In total, he had converted approximately one hundred and three strands of this Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

However, over these years, the advancement of so many Worldly Spiritual Root [spiritual plants of immense vitality and power] and the elevation of his five Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [treasures bound to a cultivator's life force] had also consumed a significant portion of this energy.

Counting carefully, among the six Fifth Rank Worldly Spiritual Root, he had expended a total of eighteen strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura. The five Lifebound Spiritual Treasure had also devoured another twenty strands.

Adding to that the consumption for enhancing the foundations of both the Old Patriarch and himself, as well as the advancement of the Great Encompassing Immortal Metal [a legendary metal of supreme quality], the total expenditure amounted to roughly forty-some strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

Thus, the remaining Primordial Chaos Violet Aura now numbered only about sixty strands. While sixty might seem a considerable amount, in truth, it was a resource that vanished all too quickly.

According to Eldrin Chen's calculations, elevating a single Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a treasure imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] would require approximately nine strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

For his own five Lifebound Spiritual Treasure alone, he would need to reserve forty-five strands in the future.

Furthermore, to shatter the shackles and allow a single Fifth Rank Worldly Spiritual Root to ascend to the Sixth Rank realm would also demand nine strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

The family's six Worldly Spiritual Root would thus require fifty-four strands. Combined, the total need soared to ninety-nine strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura.

And this calculation did not yet account for the future needs of the Worldly Spiritual Root within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire. If included, the required amount would undoubtedly increase yet again. Support the author by reading on audio–novel.com.

At this thought, Eldrin Chen shook his head with a bitter laugh. "To accelerate the advancement speed of the Worldly Spiritual Root using Primordial Chaos Violet Aura, six plants would require eighteen strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura. That would leave only a little over forty strands remaining."

"Enough," he sighed. "The Worldly Spiritual Root is the clan's supreme treasure, pivotal to the future Path of myself, you, and the clan's future Infant Soul cultivators. They must be advanced."

In the end, Eldrin Chen steeled his resolve. He expended eighteen strands of Primordial Chaos Violet Aura to drastically accelerate the advancement of all the clan's Worldly Spiritual Root.

"..."

Time flowed like a relentless river, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a century had passed.

On this day, Eldrin Chen sat within his Seclusion Chamber, his expression one of profound gravity.

Within the depths of his consciousness sea, two sources of light—one crimson, one azure—erupted with dazzling divine radiance. Countless Dao patterns intertwined and merged, finally coalescing into a single, supremely profound Dao pattern of dual polarities, brimming with divine essence.

"I have finally succeeded in forging it!"

Eldrin Chen's eyes snapped open, an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy breaking through his usual composure.

With his current temperament, few things could stir his heart. Yet today, he had lost his customary poise.

For the divine pattern he had cultivated into completion was a true Supreme Primordial Solar Divine Ability—the 'Two Polarities Divine Aegis'.

This Two Polarities Divine Aegis was the supreme Great God Ability of the Vast Sea Chen Clan, its origins and lineage somewhat obscured by time, yet its power could truly be called peerless under heaven.

In his time, Verdant Seal Path Master had mastered this very 'Two Polarities Divine Aegis', relying on it to roam the world undefeated. Even Blood-Refining Old Demon, wielding the 'Heavenly Demon Blood-Refining Divine Blade', could not best him in single combat.

With this Two Polarities Divine Aegis, it was estimated that Verdant Seal Path Master had at least an eighty percent chance of successfully weathering the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Had it not been for the intervention of Black Dragon Demon Ancestor back then, Verdant Seal Path Master would likely have achieved his Dao long ago, and the Vast Sea would have become the fourth Human Race Path Lord Sacred Land in the Eastern Region Great Wasteland over a thousand years prior.

Now, not only had Eldrin Chen cultivated the Two Polarities Divine Aegis, but he had surpassed Verdant Seal Path Master in its mastery, reaching the Lesser Vehicle Realm.

For while merely grasping the Two Polarities Divine Aegis was one thing, to cultivate it to the Lesser Vehicle Realm required simultaneous command over both Water and Fire Arcane Power.

Eldrin Chen's simultaneous mastery of the two Arcane Power—Heavenly Flame and True Water—created a profound resonance with the Two Polarities Divine Aegis. This not only allowed for astonishingly swift progress in his cultivation but also fulfilled the most critical requirement for reaching the Lesser Vehicle stage.

Furthermore, shortly after the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree advanced to Fifth Rank High-Grade, Eldrin Chen consumed one of its Purple Marrow Divine Fruit. This enabled him to gather his momentum and, in one sustained effort, break through to the Lesser Vehicle Realm.

This achievement was truly remarkable, for the majority of Primordial Spirit Path Lord cultivators only ever reach this very level in their mastery of a Primordial Solar Divine Ability.

To cultivate the Two Polarities Divine Aegis [a supreme defensive art harnessing the power of yin and yang] to its Great Vehicle [the highest, most complete mastery level of a divine ability] requires the exceedingly rare treasures known as 'Fire Vein Ancestral Marrow' and 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow', both of which are Sixth Rank [a classification for items of immense power, corresponding to the Primordial Spirit Realm] supreme treasures.

Such Primordial Solar Spiritual Object [a spiritual object of the highest grade, containing immense solar essence] are exceedingly rare in this world. Even within a Sixth Rank Ancestral Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy vein of the highest rank], it takes three thousand years to gestate a single piece, demonstrating its truly immeasurable value.

Furthermore, this material can be refined into a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure of the highest grade, forged from supreme solar essence], which is also useful for breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core cultivation stage beyond the Infant Soul Realm]. Even Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has reached the Primordial Spirit Realm and comprehended a Path] regard it as a priceless treasure; it is utterly beyond the reach of an Infant Soul True Lord [a cultivator at the peak of the Infant Soul Realm].

From what Eldrin Chen knew, those capable of cultivating a Supreme Primordial Solar Divine Ability [a divine ability of the highest solar grade] to its Great Vehicle realm were generally supreme existences at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm].

Even for them, a Great Vehicle Divine Ability [a divine ability cultivated to its highest, most complete mastery level] served as their ultimate trump card, its potency not inferior to that of a High Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier magical treasure forged from supreme solar essence].

By cultivating the Two Polarities Divine Aegis to the Lesser Vehicle Realm [the initial mastery level of a divine ability], Eldrin Chen had gained another life-preserving ace. Experience the full epic at https://audio-novel.com.

Unfortunately, his spiritual energy reserves were still somewhat lacking. Had his cultivation reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm [a transitional state between the peak of Infant Soul and the Primordial Spirit Realm], or even just the Great Perfection of Infant Soul [the absolute pinnacle of the Infant Soul Realm], he estimated he could have barely withstood an attack from a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure.

With these thoughts, Eldrin Chen emerged from his Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for deep meditation and cultivation].

Outside the cave abode, Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort had been waiting for some time. Seeing him, they immediately asked, "How did it go?"

"It is done," Eldrin Chen replied, handing the Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus [a defensive treasure embodying the dual forces of yin and yang] to Exquisite Jiang. A smile touched his lips as he continued, "Now that I have mastered the Two Polarities Divine Aegis, the Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus will be of lesser use to me. Keep it for your own protection."

Exquisite Jiang did not decline. Taking the Dual Polarity Treasure Lotus, she smiled and said, "Once you break through to the Infant Soul Late Stage, the power of this Two Polarities Divine Aegis will surely increase greatly."

Speaking of this, Exquisite Jiang spoke again, "By the way, while you were in seclusion, Sea-Calmer Path Master came to visit. He is still a guest on Verdant Lotus Isle and has been for three months now."

Eldrin Chen's brow twitched slightly, a hint of surprise in his expression. "What matter requires his personal visit and such a long wait? Could it be he has found a Worldly Spiritual Root [a rare spiritual root capable of harmonizing and nourishing elemental energies] suitable for regulating the Fire Vein?"

"I am not certain. He only said he must see you in person to properly discuss it."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened slightly, understanding that Sea-Calmer Path Master must have a matter of great importance to seek him out.

Eldrin Chen did not delay. He went directly to Verdant Lotus Isle and met Sea-Calmer Path Master by the shore of Verdant Lotus Lake.

On a small boat upon Verdant Lotus Isle, Eldrin Chen and Sea-Calmer Path Master sat facing each other, calmly playing a game of Go upon the lake.

*Click—*

Eldrin Chen placed his piece with serene composure, then finally looked at Sea-Calmer Path Master and asked with a smile, "Brother Sea-Calmer, have you come because you've found a promising lead on a suitable Worldly Spiritual Root?"

"Not so."

Sea-Calmer Path Master shook his head and calmly placed a piece on the board [a move in the game of Go].

A flicker of hesitation crossed his expression. Only after a long moment did he resolve himself and speak. "The reason I sought you out today is actually for a matter of great importance."

"Oh?" Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback before replying, "Please, Elder Brother, speak your mind."

Sea-Calmer Path Master did not state his business immediately. Instead, he inquired, "Are you aware of the one known as the 'Eastern Sea Azure Dragon' [a title for the foremost sword cultivator of the Eastern Sea], the premier figure among the Eastern Sea Demon Ancestor [a powerful demonic lineage] from several thousand years ago?"
