Chapter 867 : The Yin-Yang Void Realm Ascends

"It possesses the attributes of a Yuanci [a fundamental force akin to magnetism] space, a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure."

Seeing the Yin-Yang Void Realm successfully advance, Thalion Chen could not contain his overwhelming joy and said, "With this treasure, henceforth, even Nascent Soul Demons and Monsters will have to lower their heads by three parts in your presence."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen also could not help but reveal a smile.

This Yin-Yang Void Realm was not merely a Void Spiritual Treasure; it had also fused with a Sixth Rank Yin-Yang Magnetic Treasure Mirror.

This artifact not only specialized in countering all manner of Pure Yang metallic Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, but it could also seal the void to prevent enemies from fleeing. In times of crisis, it could instantly cleave through the void and carry Eldrin Chen far away.

Such an astonishingly powerful auxiliary Supreme Treasure of Pure Yang, combined with Eldrin Chen's strength comparable to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage, was enough to become a formidable trump card.

After refining the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, his deterrent power far surpassed that of the past. From now on, early and mid-stage Primordial Spirit Demonic Monsters would likely fear him by three parts upon meeting, not daring to maintain the transcendent airs of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen also said with a smile, "Although the advancement was successful, I have already broken through to the Primordial Spirit realm and can elevate it to Sixth Rank Middle Grade. It is also time to raise the grades of a few more Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure."

"Hmm." Thalion Chen nodded, stroking his long beard with a smile. "During this period, I personally procured ample Five Elements Essence from several Sacred Land such as the Long River Sacred Land and the Star Palace."

"It is more than enough for you to advance several Spiritual Treasure." The story continues at (audio-novel.com).

"Mm-hmm."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod, then said with a smile, "I've troubled you, Old Granduncle."

Advancing a Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure was not a difficult task for Eldrin Chen.

After his breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], his comprehension had already seen a tremendous leap. Delving into the Dao Patterns [the fundamental principles and structures of the Dao imprinted upon objects] of several Innate Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [spiritual treasures born of pure Yang energy] was now a matter of course, like water flowing downhill.

However, advancing a Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure bound to a cultivator's life force and soul] required the continuous refinement and infusion of vast amounts of Five Elements Essence [a refined spiritual essence containing the power of the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth], a process demanding no small measure of time.

To advance his three Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, Eldrin Chen sat in seclusion within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, refining for a full eighty-one years.

When those eighty-one years had passed, his three Lifebound Spiritual Treasure had all ascended to the Sixth Rank Middle Grade realm, their power having surged forward by a significant margin.

"It is done."

Witnessing the successful advancement of his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a look of joy.

Having spent a century's effort to advance three Middle-Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, his strength had increased substantially. He reckoned that even among those at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm], his combat prowess would no longer be considered weak.

Particularly the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a legendary pair of immortal swords]; after their advancement, the power of this Peerless Immortal Sword [an unparalleled sword of immortal grade] had increased tremendously. Now, when their combined force was unleashed, it could unleash power comparable to that of a Superior Grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact imbued with pure Yang energy].

This sword was a slaying Immortal Sword [a sword of immortal rank, supreme for attack]. In terms of pure offensive power, it likely surpassed even the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand [a divine ability that manifests a giant hand to grasp and crush with the power of the five elements and primordial chaos] and was not inferior to the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique combining the five elements and pure Yang energy].

Although the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a magical treasure that manipulates the concepts of Yin, Yang, and void] could not match a superior-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact of the highest purity and Yang nature], it ranked among the very best even among mid-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure. When deployed at a critical moment, its effect would likely be no weaker than a superior-grade Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled and said, "By my reckoning, the Creation Azure Jade Lotus [a mystical lotus plant associated with creation and vitality] should be nearing its advancement soon."

"Once that Creation Azure Jade Lotus successfully ascends, I will be able to wield my various Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts] and Divine Ability [supernatural powers and techniques] without restraint. My combat prowess would then be considered formidable even among those at the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [the late stage of the Nascent Soul cultivation realm]."

"Indeed," Old Granduncle also nodded, his expression filled with profound satisfaction. "The Primordial Green Lotus Platform [an ancient magical platform in the form of a green lotus] can store several times one's normal Mana [the spiritual energy used to power spells and techniques]. If you master it fully, you will truly be capable of roaming the world unchallenged from then on."

Speaking of this, Old Granduncle's eyes shone with renewed delight. "Word came just a few years ago that your Spirit Peach Tree [a magical peach tree bearing spiritually potent fruit] has finally advanced in rank."

"Is that truly so?"

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

The Spirit Peach Tree was crucial to his cultivation within the Primordial Spirit Realm [the Nascent Soul cultivation realm]. The thought that it had now ascended to the Sixth Rank [the sixth rank, a high level of power for spiritual plants and artifacts] filled him with immense joy. He could no longer contain the fervent excitement stirring within his heart.

Upon returning to Spirit Isle Lake, he discovered that for tens of thousands of Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] around Spirit Lake Isle, the spiritual energy [the vital energy that flows through all living things] had undergone a tremendous enhancement.

The entire territory that once belonged to Yu County was now enveloped by the spiritual energy emanating from the entire Spirit Province Lake Spirit Vein.

This pleased Eldrin Chen greatly. Ever since the Chen Clan had ascended to become a Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, the various Immortal Clan [powerful cultivation families] within Yu County, not daring to disturb a True Lord [a title for a Nascent Soul realm cultivator], had long since migrated out, leaving their lands for Eldrin Chen and his companions to use as secluded cultivation grounds.

Now, this vast, newly vacated territory was bathed in the aura of the Sixth Rank Spiritual Vein [a vein of land imbued with potent spiritual energy], its incredibly rich spiritual energy nourishing the birth of a great many Spiritual Object [objects imbued with spiritual power].

At the very heart of Spirit Isle Lake stood that ancient and extraordinary peach tree. It appeared to be only one Zhang-length [one Zhang-length equals three point three three meters] tall, yet its branches were gnarled and powerful like dragons, radiating an aura of transcendent majesty.

Upon this Spirit Peach Tree now grew twelve massive flat peaches, each wreathed in tendrils of Pure Yang Qi [the purest, most potent form of positive spiritual energy], making them appear exceptionally divine and extraordinary. The complete novel can be found at audio-novel`com.

Eldrin Chen performed a brief calculation and could not help but reveal a look of delight.

This Sixth Rank Low Grade [a classification for the potency of spiritual objects or locations] Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach Tree bloomed once every hundred years, bore fruit over the next hundred, and required another century for the fruit to fully ripen. Upon maturity, it would produce twelve Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach.

These Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach contained Pure Yang Qi, and if consumed by Nascent Soul Cultivators, they could enhance cultivation base, significantly shortening the time required to accumulate Mana [the refined spiritual power used by cultivators].

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, a Nascent Soul True Lord could refine approximately one 'Sixth Rank Spiritual Peach' [a spiritual fruit of the sixth rank] per century. Refining it would grant an additional two centuries' worth of Mana.

Do not underestimate these two hundred years of Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated within a practitioner's body]. One must understand that Nascent Soul True Lord [a cultivator who has formed their Nascent Soul, the embryonic form of their immortal spirit] accumulate Mana with excruciating slowness. Relying solely on solitary cultivation, it would take approximately one Millennium [a period of one thousand years] to advance a single layer in cultivation.

Eldrin Chen is a cultivator with Five Spiritual Roots [an affinity for all five elemental spiritual energies, granting broad potential but slower initial cultivation speed]. His Mana is far more profound and vast than cultivators of the same realm. If he did not consume any Sixth Rank Spiritual Object [a spiritual treasure of the sixth rank, immensely valuable for high-level cultivation] and relied entirely on his own arduous cultivation, it would take roughly two Millennium to advance a single layer.

Henceforth, with this Sixth Rank Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach [a legendary spiritual peach that harmonizes the energies of heaven and earth], he could advance one layer in approximately six hundred and sixty years, drastically shortening his cultivation time by a factor of three.

Furthermore, if he diligently practiced the Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation Covenant [a dual cultivation art that harmonizes the opposing Yin and Yang energies], and also possessed auxiliary cultivation treasures like a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact imbued with pure Yang energy] or consumed other Pure Yang Treasure Pill [elixirs refined with pure Yang essence], this speed would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, "This Sixth Rank Low Grade Spirit Peach Tree [a mystical tree that bears spiritually potent peaches] can only bear twelve Spirit Peach [spiritually infused peaches that aid cultivation] at a time, sufficient only to supply four Primordial Spirit [the foundational spiritual core of a high-level cultivator, preceding the Nascent Soul] cultivators."

"It seems I must hasten its advancement once more."

As his words faded, he channeled his Primordial Essence [the purest, most fundamental energy of creation, often used to nurture spiritual beings], accelerating the advancement speed of the Spirit Peach Tree.

He continued this process, expending nine mouthfuls of Primordial Essence before finally ceasing. A faint, satisfied smile touched his lips.

"How is it?"

At that moment, Verdant Consort, who had been in secluded cultivation within Spirit Isle Lake [a lake containing spiritual islands], emerged and could not help but ask.

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said with a smile, "With the Primordial Essence [the most fundamental and purest form of spiritual energy] accelerating its growth, this Sixth Rank Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach Tree can advance one grade within a Millennium [a period of one thousand years]."

"I reckon it could ascend to the Sixth Rank High Grade realm within two Millennium."

Verdant Consort nodded upon hearing this and then inquired, "Several other Spiritual Root [plants of immense spiritual significance that anchor the energy of a place] within the clan are also nearing Sixth Rank. Will you accelerate their advancement as well when the time comes?"

"As for the other Spiritual Root..."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly in thought. After a moment, he shook his head. "Among the clan's other Spiritual Root, the Immortal Apricot Tree can extend lifespan, yet that is not an urgent need for us now."

"The remaining ones—the Flood Water Immortal Pear Tree, the Bing Fire Immortal Apricot Tree, the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree, and the Enlightenment Blossom Tree—all have rather limited potential in truth."

"Only the Eight Trigrams Treasure Tree, the Creation Azure Jade Lotus, and that Enlightenment Tea Tree possess truly boundless potential. They will likely be of great use even after you and I attain immortality, and thus require meticulous cultivation." The story continues at audio–novel.com.
