Chapter 779 The Fourth Arcane Force

Bell of the Eastern Sovereign (Magic Treasure)

"Unspeakable, unspeakable."

The tomb keeper shook his head, but ultimately spoke.

With those words, the Tomb Keeper said no more and directly saw them out. "Since you have finished paying respects to Emperor Dong, you should return now. Do not disturb his eternal rest."

"This..."

Eldrin wished to inquire further, but the gravekeeper’s resolute expression made it clear that some celestial secrets were truly beyond disclosure.

With no other choice, he could only cup his hands and say, "Then we shall take our leave for now."

Departing from Mount Donghuang, Eldrin cast a final glance over the mountain range, his gaze subtly sharpening.

Beside them, Lyra’s pupils contracted slightly as she observed the scene, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she remarked, “The mountain ranges of the Eastern Barrens form a posture of 10 1000 dragons paying homage.”

Chapter 1 This Eastern Emperor Mountain, situated at the heart of the Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range, appeared more like a massive treasure furnace than a mountain. Its 9 peaks rose sharply like furnace tripods, while the winding mountain ranges resembled coiling dragons, all converging toward the central valley. The terrain gathered spiritual energy from all directions, and the mountain walls, forged from some unknown dark red ore, emanated a faint warmth. The entire mountain seemed to be a naturally formed divine furnace, refining all things within it.

Lila (Person Name) felt a jolt of surprise in her heart and couldn't help but hesitate, "If that's the case, wouldn't this place be a natural treasure-nurturing ground?"

"Unspeakable, unspeakable."

Eldrin (Person Name) hastily cut her off, though a flicker of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

If their speculations held true, then considering how the spiritual energy across the entire Extinction Range spanning hundreds of millions of miles had been nearly drained completely, this undoubtedly concealed a secret capable of shaking heaven and earth.

Using the ancestral mountain range of the Eastern Wastelands as a nurturing ground clearly aimed to cultivate a world-shaking, heaven-defying treasure. If the Outer Demons were to learn of this, they would never allow it to succeed.

No wonder the Tomb Keeper said it was unspeakable. This wasn't due to distrust toward them, but because existences at the level of the Outer Realm Demon God had already touched upon realms beyond mortal comprehension.

If they inadvertently let slip even half a word, the other party might sense something amiss.

At this thought, the few dared not speak further. They exchanged glances, and after a final deep breath, suppressed their doubts deep within their hearts.

"Go back first."

Returning from the Barren Spirit Mountains, Eldrin soon arrived back at Spirit Isle Lake, and his days resumed their customary tranquility.

When he wasn't engaged in arduous cultivation, he would contemplate the secrets of the 5 Elements. In his spare moments, he refined his techniques and supernatural abilities. Thus, 1 100 years slipped by in the blink of an eye.

Today, 6 100 years have passed since the Great Abyssal Cataclysm, with only 4 100 years remaining until the next 1.

That day, Eldrin was cultivating within the seclusion chamber, meticulously refining an earthy-yellow divine jade before him. A trace of solemnity flickered between his brows.

At this moment, he was refining the Earth Essence Divine Jade, hoping to harness its power to comprehend the earth-attribute arcane force among the 5 Elements' secret energies.

This Earth-Source Divine Jade was nurtured within the Fang Clan's earth veins. Eldrin had obtained it precisely 2 sexagenary cycles ago, and during his spare time, he had devoted countless hours to comprehending the mysteries of this treasure.

In truth, Eldrin had already begun comprehending this earth-attributed arcane force as early as 1 100 and 80 years prior.

Alas, repelled by the 3 primal forces of Pure Yang Fire, Profound Abyss Water, and Primordial Chaos Gold, his comprehension of this earth-attributed secret power proved exceptionally arduous.

Earlier, when he had comprehended the Pure Yang Fire and the Profound Abyss Water, each had taken only a span of 20-some years. Even grasping the Primordial Chaos Gold had consumed merely a single cycle of 60 years.

But now, after obtaining this Earth Source Divine Jade for 2 jiazi cycles, Eldrin had also expended a full 2 jiazi cycles of time, yet he remained unable to fully comprehend the mysteries of this earth attribute power.

"Perhaps today is the day to comprehend the mysteries of Earth Elemental Power."

Eldrin continued refining the Earth Source Divine Jade, his brow furrowed with solemn intensity.

After years of arduous cultivation, he had thoroughly mastered the earth-attributed arcane power. Though an intangible mystical resistance persisted, he now stood merely 1 step away from the final breakthrough.

At this moment, he faintly sensed the opportune time had arrived. Completely emptying his mental energy, he poured all his consciousness into the Earth Source Divine Jade.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed within him as he stepped into an indescribable state of profound wonder.

When he opened his eyes, he discovered profound earthly Dao Patterns suspended in the void, each resembling the embodiment of natural laws within the mortal realm.

"All Things Soil, Breath Loam, Star Dust, Nether Earth..."

Eldrin murmured to himself, recognizing the astonishing secret power of the earth attribute.

These were supreme divine soils found only in the celestial realm. Some were treasures from the underworld, while others were immortal materials coveted even by celestials. Many of these divine soils held value no less than that of innate spiritual treasures.

Each represents the manifestation of the Great Dao within the mortal realm. Cultivating 1 to its pinnacle allows for the comprehension of a strand of Great Dao power, and may even enable the condensation of a supreme Dao Fruit—propelling 1 directly to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Like the Soil of All Things, its origin lies in the innate divine earth known as the ‘Primordial Mother Earth’. This substance is boundlessly profound and heavy, capable of bearing all things and nurturing endless life and vitality.

This substance is also known as 'Chaos Earth'—a primordial divine soil born at the dawn of creation when heaven and earth were first divided. Upon it, the Primordial Deities and the most ancient Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages were conceived and nurtured, inherently imbued with supreme authority.

The Breath Soil was also exceedingly renowned, for it could absorb the energy of chaos to grow autonomously. A mere handful of it could evolve into a vast and boundless great world.

Beyond this, Starry Earth can gather dust into stars, while Nether Earth is innately imbued with nether energy. Cultivated to its ultimate state, it enables 1 to comprehend a trace of the power of the Great Dao of Nether.

Such profound and mystical divine soils left Eldrin somewhat covetous, making it difficult for him to decide for a moment.

"Very well, I shall choose the Myriad Things Soil instead."

After pondering for a long while, he ultimately chose the secret power of the Primordial Soil.

As the first Primordial Divine Soil born at the dawn of creation, the Soil of All Things is revered as the progenitor of all earthly substances, possessing truly unparalleled qualities.

This earth-attribute mana encompassing all things could be considered peerless in its profound depth, with nothing in this world that could rival its magnitude.

Beyond that, the Primordial Soil could nurture all things and would play an immensely significant role in Eldrin's future comprehension of the final secret force.

Having cultivated to his current level, Eldrin could sense that comprehending the final arcane force would likely require far more time than the previous 4 combined.

Moreover, during the final stage of enlightenment, 1 would inevitably face the simultaneous rejection of 4 types of arcane forces.

If nourished by a trace of vitality from the Primordial Soil of All Things, it might greatly aid his comprehension of the secret power of earth.

No sooner said than done. Once his mind was set, he began converting the power of the All-thing Earth.

Witnessing the birth of a new arcane force, the 4 primordial energies—Pure Yang Fire, Profound Abyssal Water, and Primordial Chaos Metal—immediately went berserk. They began relentlessly suppressing the nascent Primordial Earth energy, seeking to completely devour it.

Fortunately, Eldrin's soul power had been tempered day and night for thousands of years by the 5-Color Spirit Tempering Art, and was already no weaker than that of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord. Far surpassing his magical power, it could firmly suppress them.

Moreover, the Primordial Earth Art possessed an incomparably profound and vigorous magical power, which actually managed to withstand the continuous erosion of the 3 types of energy and successfully assimilate them.

After the power of the Myriad Elements Earth was successfully converted, a new transformation emerged among the 4 types of magical power within Eldrin’s body.
