Chapter 752 : The Legendary Waters of Rebirth
The Polarity Immortal Water [a legendary elixir of supreme restorative power] is hailed as the foremost Great God [a realm of cultivation representing a peak of power] water within the Purple Seal Realm. It is said this elixir requires the fusion of two crucial Sixth Rank [a high level of power and rarity] waters: the 'Solar Holy Water' and the 'Supreme Lunar Divine Water', both of which are Primordial Solar [pertaining to the fundamental energies of the sun and moon] in nature.
This water can revive the dead and regenerate flesh from bone. Even if only a wisp of a soul remains, receiving this elixir can instantly reforge [restore and perfect] one to their peak state. Not only the physical body, but also one's spiritual power and soul essence are restored to their zenith in a mere moment.
This is no Nirvana Pool [a pool that grants rebirth over centuries], which requires hundreds or thousands of years for recovery. This is a supreme treasure capable of restoring one's peak power in the blink of an eye.
It is said that in ancient times, when Imperial Sovereign Jiang underwent his tribulation to ascend to immortality, he relied upon the Polarity Immortal Water to survive the final, most devastating heavenly trial. Alas, the two Primordial Solar waters required to concoct the 'Polarity Immortal Water' are exceedingly rare.
Of the two Primordial Solar waters, the 'Supreme Lunar Divine Water' is somewhat more attainable. Within the Sixth Rank Ancestral Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy source] of the Drifting Snow Palace in the Far North Icy Plains and also within the depths of the North Sea of Darkness, there exists a 'Supreme Lunar Divine Spring' [a divine moon-aligned spring]. Every few millennia, each spring can produce a single portion of 'Supreme Lunar Divine Water'.
However, the 'Solar Holy Water' has vanished completely from the Purple Seal Realm.
The last known portion of Solar Holy Water originated from the former hegemon of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, the 'Kiang Clan'.
Yet, over a thousand years ago, after the Kiang Clan was shattered and their Sixth Rank Water Primordial Ancestral Vein [a supreme water-aligned spiritual vein] in the Eastern Sea was destroyed, the 'Solar Holy Spring' [the sun-aligned holy spring] within it was also obliterated. Since then, it has never again produced that priceless 'Solar Holy Water'.
By common estimation, the remaining portions of 'Polarity Immortal Water' in the Purple Seal Realm likely number no more than five. Each portion is a life-preserving ultimate treasure for Demigod [a realm just below true divinity] powerhouses.
The most critical point is that this treasure diminishes with each use. Naturally, no one would be willing to part with such a priceless item to save a mere Sixth Rank Low-Grade Spiritual Root [the innate spiritual foundation of a cultivator]. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel dot com.
Seeing that the Path Hearing Blossom Tree showed no hope of revival, Sea-Calmer Path Master ceased dwelling on it. He retrieved the numerous treasures seized in the battle and spoke, "Let us divide the spoils."
The harvest from this battle was of an unprecedented scale for the group.
Among the Sixth Rank treasures alone were the priceless Path Hearing Blossom and the Sword Embryo [the nascent, unformed core of a divine sword] for the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword.
Furthermore, within the Mysterious Tortoise Patriarch's Storage Bag [a spatial pouch for holding items], they found thirty-six scrolls of scriptures.
Most of these thirty-six scrolls were Infant Soul Ancient Scroll [ancient cultivation manuals for the Infant Soul Realm], but among them were two exceptionally precious Primordial Solar [the Demigod Realm] path tomes.
One scroll was titled 'Azure Dragon Path Scripture', and the other was named 'Ancient Ice Scripture'.
The Ancient Ice Scripture was a technique deduced by the Mysterious Tortoise Patriarch himself. This method could cultivate one to the Primordial Spirit 1st Tier and contained the secrets to comprehending the Profound Ice Arcane Power [a profound divine ability of ice]. It could be considered the foundational art representing the lifelong work of the Mysterious Tortoise Patriarch over ten thousand years.
The Azure Dragon Path Scripture, on the other hand, was the path to enlightenment [the cultivation method for achieving immortality] of the ancient Eastern Sea Azure Dragon. This scripture transcended the Great Perfection stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, allowing cultivation all the way to the Demigod Realm. It was a peerless, supreme path tome of the world, detailing the path of achieving immortality through physical body refinement.
Moreover, within this Azure Dragon Path Scripture was recorded the method for forging the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword, as well as a supreme Primordial Solar Great God Ability [a divine ability of the Demigod Realm].
This Primordial Solar Great God Ability was named 'Supple Wood Transforming into Azure Dragon Thunder Punishment Path'. It could summon hundreds of millions of Supple Wood Divine Thunder [divine thunder of the Wood element], converging them into a single lightning Azure Dragon. Its Slaughter [destructive] power ranked among the very pinnacle even within Primordial Solar Divine Ability [divine abilities of the Demigod Realm].
In terms of Slaughter alone, it is only a single step inferior to the 'Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder'.
And that 'Great Five Elements Primordial Solar Divine Thunder' is the foremost Great God Ability [a supreme divine technique of immense power] within the cultivation arts of the Purple Seal Realm, and was also the trump card with which Imperial Sovereign Jiang slew countless foes throughout his legendary journey.
Beyond this Primordial Solar Great God Ability, the Azure Dragon Path Scripture also contains a method for refining a Second Primordial Spirit [a second, independent spiritual core for a cultivator].
This method is called the 'True Dragon Incarnation Art'. The Second Primordial Spirit forged through this art possesses combat power nearly on par with a cultivator of the same realm, and can even wield Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of great power] in battle.
This aspect greatly pleased Exquisite Jiang. Although her Second Primordial Embryo [an embryonic form of a second spiritual core] was not lacking in spiritual power, its inability to wield Spiritual Treasure in combat had always rendered it somewhat limited in utility.
If she could obtain this 'True Dragon Incarnation Art', Exquisite Jiang could adapt and modify it, integrating its principles into her own Second Primordial Embryo. This would undoubtedly significantly enhance the combat prowess of her Second Primordial Embryo.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "These ancient scrolls are useful to both of us. How about we each make a copy of the Infant Soul Ancient Scroll?"
"Agreed," Sea-Calmer Path Master nodded. He then glanced at the two volumes of the Primordial Solar Heaven Scripture and added, "It is a pity that the profound truths within these scriptures are boundless. The Dao patterns and ancient characters inscribed within them are all laden with profound meaning."
"They can only be fully transcribed and their complete essence replicated onto priceless Scripture Transmission Paper [special paper capable of recording profound cultivation truths] or Gold Foil Ancient Book [ancient books with pages of gold foil]."
"Currently, we lack such treasures in our possession. I wonder how we should proceed with the division?"
Eldrin Chen also fell into a moment of contemplation. Both of these ancient tomes were of immeasurable value, offering immense utility for their efforts in deducing cultivation arts for the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a major stage of power] realm.
The Azure Dragon Path Scripture [a profound cultivation manual based on the Azure Dragon's path] naturally went without saying. While the Ancient Ice Scripture [an ancient scripture of ice-based cultivation arts] was slightly less valuable, it could still aid Lila in comprehending the Profound Ice Arcane Power [a divine ability harnessing the profound mysteries of ice]. It seemed this, too, could not be relinquished.
Having reached this conclusion, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Crafting Scripture Transmission Paper [a special paper used for recording and transmitting profound scriptures] requires the bark of a Fifth Rank High-Grade Worldly Spiritual Root [a type of spiritual tree whose materials are used for high-level crafting]. Producing a Gold Foil Ancient Book [an ancient book bound with gold foil, used for preserving supreme scriptures] demands an even rarer material: Sixth Rank Gold Jade Divine Marrow [a divine-grade ore of gold and jade, incredibly precious]. Both are exceedingly valuable."
"The amount of Worldly Spiritual Root bark needed for the Scripture Transmission Paper is substantial. This Path Hearing Blossom Tree [a mystical tree whose blossoms aid in comprehending the Dao] is barely three Chi-lengths [one Chi-length equals one third of a meter] tall and has been mostly destroyed. It seems unsuitable for this purpose."
"Fortunately, our Chen Clan possesses a Fifth Rank High-Grade Worldly Spiritual Root. It appears we must now let the ancient tree suffer some damage for a few years, stripping a layer of its bark for the crafting."
Hearing that the Chen Clan possessed such a precious treasure tree, Varen Wei the Sea-Calmer Path Master [a Daoist master known for his sea-calming arts] could not help but brighten up. "If that is the case, then I must trouble you with this task." Published by audio . novel . com. All rights reserved.
With the distribution of the Ancient Scripture [a general term for ancient, profound cultivation manuals] settled, the group turned their attention to the remaining treasures.
Among the remaining treasures, the most valuable Spiritual Object [objects imbued with or radiating spiritual energy] were the Path Hearing Blossom [the blossom of the Path Hearing Blossom Tree, which aids in Dao comprehension], the Sword Embryo [the nascent, unformed core of a spiritual sword] of the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword [a legendary sword named for its power to stir the seas like an Azure Dragon], and the physical body and tortoise shell of the Mysterious Tortoise Demon Ancestor.
The most precious item was undoubtedly the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword. This sword was forged from Sixth Rank immortal-grade metal, making its value far exceed even that of a Primordial Spirit Pill [a pill that aids in the breakthrough to or cultivation within the Primordial Spirit realm].
However, claiming this sword would forge a death feud with the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor [a powerful demon emperor in the form of an azure flood dragon]. Thus, this treasure could be described as rather... hot to handle.
Sea-Calmer Path Master [a title for a powerful cultivator who has mastered the art of calming the seas] did not deliberate for long over the selection of treasures and promptly took the Path Hearing Blossom [a rare spiritual plant said to enhance one's comprehension of the Dao].
With the Sea-Calmer Divine Pearl [a legendary pearl artifact with the power to pacify turbulent waters] in his possession, a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] was not an absolute necessity. The Path Hearing Blossom [a rare spiritual plant said to enhance one's comprehension of the Dao], however, was an item he was determined to obtain, leaving him with no other real choice.
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] directly accepted the Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword [a divine sword named for its power to roil the oceans like an azure dragon]. Merely at the stage of a Sword Embryo [the nascent, unformed spiritual core of a divine sword], this blade's grade was already that of a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun]. If it were to absorb the Dragon Soul [the condensed spiritual essence and consciousness of a dragon] of an Azure Dragon [a powerful, noble species of dragon], it was estimated it could advance to the realm of a Middle Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a mid-tier supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun].
One must understand that the might of a Middle Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a mid-tier supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] was far beyond what an inferior Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] could hope to match.
Four hundred years ago, during the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a great calamity involving the eruption of a demonic abyss], the 'Nine Nether Abyssal Demonic Dragon Emperor' [a terrifying demonic dragon emperor from the deepest nether abyss] was able to sweep through his foes and inflict grievous losses upon the allied forces. The Middle-Grade Pure Lunar Demonic Treasure [a mid-tier demonic artifact of pure lunar essence] known as the 'Demonic Dragon Defying World Halberd' [a halberd wielded by a demonic dragon to defy the very world] was undoubtedly instrumental in that feat.
Furthermore, if the 'Azure Dragon Stirring Sea Sword' [a divine sword named for its power to roil the oceans like an azure dragon] were to be refined into a Lifebound Magical Treasure [a magical artifact bound to a cultivator's life force, growing in power with them] and then allowed to absorb a Dragon Soul [the condensed spiritual essence and consciousness of a dragon], it was estimated this sword would rank among the very pinnacle of Medium-Grade Spiritual Treasure [mid-grade magical treasures].
It was precisely because this sword possessed such immense potential power that, no matter how troublesome acquiring it might prove, Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] was determined to take it. After all, he and the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor [the demon emperor of the azure flood dragons] were already locked in an irreconcilable conflict. Read, share, and discuss at audio-novel .c om.
