Chapter 809 : The Pill Division Art's Revelation

"Not only did a single alchemical refinement yield five Primordial Spirit Pill [a supreme pill that aids in the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit realm], the harvest from refining the Primordial Solar Elixir [an elixir of pure solar essence, immensely beneficial for cultivation] was also bountiful. Your efforts last time were significant, and this Primordial Solar Elixir is fitting for you to receive."

"This..."

Eldrin Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally clasped his hands and said, "Since you bestow such a generous gift, Senior, this junior can only accept it with gratitude."

Seeing the three accept the Precious Pill [a general term for a pill of exceptional quality and power], the Long River Path Lord nodded and then spoke: "With your current cultivation levels, fully refining a Primordial Solar Precious Pill [a precious-grade version of the Primordial Solar Elixir] will be difficult. Moreover, consuming one alone would be somewhat wasteful."

"I possess a Pill Division Art [a mystical technique for dividing a single pill's essence into multiple portions]. It can split this Primordial Solar Precious Pill into three parts. If you succeed in refining it, you should be able to complete your cultivation cycles within thirty years. By then, you can attempt the Earth Soul Summoning [a profound ritual to call forth and integrate one's Earth Soul, a crucial step towards the Primordial Spirit realm] to return it to its rightful place."

As he spoke, the Long River Path Lord transmitted this Pill Division Art to the four of them.

After a cultivator breaks through to the Great Perfection of Infant Soul [the pinnacle stage of the Infant Soul realm], their spiritual power increases by half compared to the Infant Soul 8th Tier [the eighth tier of the Infant Soul realm]. Cultivating this additional half to perfection generally requires a very long period of time.

Among the four, Verdant Consort had broken through to the Infant Soul [the realm of spiritual infancy, where the nascent soul is formed] the earliest, and her cultivation progress was also the fastest. Her spiritual power had already been accumulated to perfection.

She was nearly ready to perform the Earth Soul Summoning. Before attempting the breakthrough to Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a transitional state between Infant Soul and Primordial Spirit realms], she no longer needed to accumulate spiritual power.

However, the other three had broken through to the Great Perfection of Infant Soul less than one Sixty-Year Cycle [a cycle of sixty years, a common unit of time in cultivation] ago. To accumulate enough spiritual power for the Earth Soul Summoning would likely require the effort of roughly three Sixty-Year Cycle. Published by audio–novel.com. All rights reserved.

Now, with only around one hundred and fifty years remaining until the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a prophesied, world-shaking calamity], they would barely have enough time to accumulate their spiritual power to its peak, let alone attempt the Earth Soul Summoning [a profound technique to summon and merge with one's earthly soul fragment].

With the aid of the Pill Division Art [an esoteric method for splitting potent pills to share their efficacy] and the Primordial Solar Elixir [a supreme-grade pill containing the essence of the primordial sun], even though it would consume one precious Primordial Solar Elixir, it would allow the three of them to save three entire Sixty-Year Cycle [a complete cycle of sixty years, a significant unit of time for cultivation] of arduous cultivation.

Using a Sixth Rank [the sixth and highest grade] Primordial Solar Elixir on Infant Soul Cultivator [cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage] was, in truth, a tremendous waste. However, with the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm imminent, achieving a breakthrough in cultivation realm as soon as possible was the paramount principle.

Having received such a precious technique, Eldrin Chen immediately clasped his hands in a solemn bow. "This junior will never forget the grace of your instruction, Senior. I vow to repay this kindness in the future."

"Your intention is acknowledgment enough,"

Long River Path Lord said with a gentle smile before continuing, "Now, go and cultivate diligently."

"..."

The four of them took the Precious Pill [the divided Primordial Solar Elixir] and flew out from the Long River Holy Land.

Midway on their journey, Eldrin Chen looked at the two Primordial Spirit Pill [pills that aid in strengthening and advancing the Primordial Spirit] in his hand and consulted Exquisite Jiang and the others. "How should we distribute these Primordial Spirit Pill?"

"For the four of us, the Primordial Spirit Pill is actually of limited use."

Lila shook her head, a slight furrow appearing between her brows as she spoke. "Within our clan currently, the cultivators who might need a Primordial Spirit Pill [a supreme elixir that aids in the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit realm] are likely Old Granduncle and Ethan."

Exquisite Jiang and Verdant Consort, standing nearby, both nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Among the four of them, Eldrin Chen and Exquisite Jiang were both at the Innate Great Encompassing Infant Soul [the pinnacle stage of the Infant Soul realm, a perfect foundation for ascension] realm. Their inherent confidence in breaking through to Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core cultivation stage, where one's soul essence condenses into an independent spiritual entity] was already immense.

Furthermore, bolstered by their exceptionally pure spiritual energy and the feedback from their Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a treasure of the highest solar yang grade, capable of nurturing its wielder's cultivation], their chances of a successful breakthrough to Primordial Spirit were at least ninety percent or higher. The remaining sliver of risk for failure was not something a Primordial Spirit Pill could remedy.

The same held true for Verdant Consort and Lila. Whether it was Verdant Consort's Verdant Lotus Immortal Embryo [a legendary innate constitution symbolizing purity and boundless potential for immortality] or Lila's Frost Soul Infant Soul [a rare variant of the Infant Soul realm imbued with the essence of profound frost], both were foundations laid for achieving immortality.

While one could not guarantee they would definitely attain immortality, they faced no significant bottlenecks in their assault on the Primordial Spirit realm.

For them, the true cause for concern was actually the life-and-death Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of fate, often involving heavenly punishment] of the External Tribulation [heaven-sent calamities like lightning strikes that test a cultivator during major breakthroughs]. Therefore, these two Primordial Spirit Pills would be of little practical use to them.

Pondering this, Eldrin Chen fell into thoughtful silence for a moment before speaking. "Old Granduncle will need nearly a thousand years more before he can attempt to break through to Primordial Spirit."

"Although Ethan possesses fine talent, his access to cultivation resources cannot compare to ours. Reaching the Half-Step Primordial Spirit [a transitional state where one has touched the threshold of the Primordial Spirit realm but not fully ascended] will likely take him another millennium as well. As for my disciples, there is even less need to mention them."

At this point, Verdant Consort interjected, "Aside from those within our clan, among our close allies, the ones who could attempt a Primordial Spirit breakthrough before the Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a prophesied great calamity originating from a chasm of demonic energy] are essentially Violet Consort Yan and Freya Ji."

"Violet Consort and Freya?"

Exquisite Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, and she gave a nod of agreement.

That Freya Ji, possessing the Primal Shadow Constitution [a rare physique attuned to the power of primordial darkness] and receiving the full support of a Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a supreme expert whose soul has transcended mortality], cultivated with astonishing speed. By the age of one thousand five hundred years, she had already reached the Great Perfection of Infant Soul [the pinnacle stage of the Infant Soul cultivation realm].

Roughly one hundred years ago, with Dorian Ji's assistance, she successfully guided her Earth Soul [one of the three foundational souls of a cultivator, representing earthly connection and stability] into being. Now hailed as the foremost among the Ten Great Immortal Maidens of the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, she is considered one of the most likely candidates to break through to the Primordial Spirit Path Lord realm.

Violet Consort was slightly younger than Freya Ji, but as a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root [a supreme-grade innate talent for absorbing spiritual energy], her cultivation speed was even more prodigious.

Thirty years ago, after consuming the Sixth Rank Positive Water Immortal Pear [a legendary spiritual fruit of the sixth rank, imbued with potent yang-aligned water energy], Violet Consort had already guided her Earth Soul. She was now awaiting the opportune moment to guide her Heaven Soul [the celestial soul, representing one's destiny and connection to the heavens].

Thinking of this, Exquisite Jiang spoke up, "Violet Consort inherited the legacy of the late Martial Uncle Violet Cosmos, which included a Primordial Spirit Pill [a supreme elixir that can aid in the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit realm] stored within the Central Ancestral Domain."

"As for Freya's side, we can consider reserving one Primordial Spirit Pill for her."

Eldrin Chen also nodded, a smile gracing his lips. "The Ji Clan has repeatedly shielded us from peril. It is only right we offer them something in return."

Lila nodded in agreement and stated directly, "Then let us first make our way to the Dorian Sacred Land."

Once their decision was made, the group immediately set off towards the Eastern Sea Cultivation World.

With the aid of the Primordial Solar Immortal Sword, they could traverse ten million Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] in a single day. Coupled with the use of Teleportation Formation [magical arrays that allow instantaneous travel over vast distances] along their route, their journey to the Dorian Sacred Land did not consume an excessive amount of time.

Upon arriving at the Dorian Sacred Land, Eldrin Chen sought out Dorian Ji and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

After listening, Sage Lord Dorian revealed a hint of a smile at the center of his brow and said, "Your thoughtfulness is appreciated."

He accepted the Primordial Spirit Pill [a supreme elixir that aids in the formation and strengthening of a cultivator's Primordial Spirit] and continued, "I had planned to journey to the Central Ancestral Domain in the near future to see if I could commission someone to procure a Primordial Spirit Pill. Your assistance here has been of great help to me."

"Since that is the case, I shall not let you suffer a loss."

As he spoke, Dorian Ji retrieved from his sleeve a deep azure crystalline marrow that shimmered with profound light and offered it to the group.

"This is..."

The moment he saw the object, Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he inquired with a trace of uncertainty.

Dorian Ji nodded and began to explain in a measured tone, "This object is known as the 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade' [a supreme treasure born from the convergence of potent water-element spiritual energies]. It is a peerless treasure nurtured within the depths of the Eastern Sea Water Vein Sea Eye [a legendary focal point of oceanic spiritual power in the Eastern Sea]."

"The grade of this particular piece is only Sixth Rank Low-Grade, but it should be more than sufficient for Exquisite to refine an External Incarnation [a powerful technique that allows a cultivator to create a separate, autonomous physical avatar]."

As Dorian Ji recounted its origins, Eldrin Chen came to understand the nature of this object. The so-called 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade' was an exceedingly rare Sixth Rank Primordial Solar [the highest tier of spiritual treasures] object within the world.

This treasure could only be nurtured within a Sixth Rank Water Primordial Ancestral Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy vein of water affinity]. Its wondrous effects were no less than those of 'Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Jade' [a legendary jade formed from a thunder dragon's essence], making it the supreme magical treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] for refining a Second Primordial Spirit [a second, independent spiritual avatar].

With Exquisite Jiang's Supreme Lunar Immortal Body [a rare and powerful innate physique attuned to lunar energy], obtaining this 'Water Vein Ancestral Marrow Jade' would allow her to nurture her Second Primordial Embryo [the nascent form of a second spiritual avatar] all the way to the Primordial Spirit Realm [the realm of the spiritual core], transforming it into a fully-fledged Second Primordial Spirit.

At that point, even if the combat prowess of Exquisite Jiang's Second Primordial Spirit could not match that of a Primordial Solar Path Lord [a master who has fully comprehended the Dao of the primordial sun], its strength would be no weaker than a newly-ascended Primordial Spirit [a cultivator who has formed their spiritual core].
