Chapter 820 Reverse Innate Nature

As his words fell, he immediately expelled the Primordial Violet Qi, allowing it to merge into the Phoenix Egg.

The immortal egg covered in phoenix patterns treasured it as a rare find, absorbing 9 strands of Primordial Purple Qi in succession before finally ceasing.

Beholding it, after absorbing the 9 strands of Primordial Purple Qi, the phoenix patterns upon the eggshell grew ever more vivid and lifelike, faintly brewing with a trace of innate primordial essence.

Immediately after, a brilliant stream of light flew out from the egg and surged into Eldrin's Sea of Consciousness.

"This is."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he instantly grasped the meaning behind this.

Originally a phoenix egg, it became entangled in his karma. A vague, nascent consciousness stirred within, forming a Celestial Spirit Pact with him.

This took Eldrin by great surprise. Generally speaking, the Celestial Covenant was a pact typically formed between immortals and divine beasts of the celestial realm.

Unexpectedly, this phoenix egg was willing to form a contract with him, essentially acknowledging him as its master of its own accord—a development that somewhat took him by surprise.

Only moments later, through this immortal contract, Eldrin gained some understanding of the phoenix egg and roughly comprehended the reason it had formed a pact with him.

It turned out that even mythical immortal species like the True Dragon and Celestial Phoenix possessed vastly divergent bloodline origins.

Leaving aside the mythical immortal seeds yet to achieve immortality, even among phoenixes who have attained the Immortal Realm, there exist vast differences in their innate foundations.

Ordinary phoenixes are merely post-natal creatures. Though blessed with extraordinary bloodlines, most are confined by these very lineages, rarely cultivating beyond the Earth Immortal realm before reaching their limits.

Beyond these, there existed the exceedingly rare Primordial Phoenix, whose bloodline and origins were utterly astonishing, with potential far surpassing anything ordinary beings could fathom.

Such entities are born of primordial origins, emerging only when a Great Luo Golden Immortal carves out a celestial realm.

This innate phoenix possessed astonishing natural endowments. Typically born with Ascension Realm cultivation, such beings would most likely advance to become mighty figures at the Heavenly Immortal level in the future.

With sufficient serendipity, 1 might even forge the foundation of an innate deity, attaining the supreme might of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

And this phoenix egg, during its gestation, had been nourished by Eldrin’s Primordial Purple Qi, cultivating within it a wisp of Innate Qi.

Though this wisp of Primordial Qi was faint, the Phoenix Elixir's foundation had already reverted from the mundane to the sacred, undergoing a tremendous transformation.

From this point onward, as long as it continued to gestate, even if it wasn't yet a perfect innate Phoenix, it had already gained a path to the heavens—a truly monumental opportunity.

To repay this karmic debt, the faint consciousness within the phoenix egg immediately resolved to acknowledge a master.

"Innate Phoenix Origin—wouldn't that be considered a peerless, supreme talent even among immortals?"

The Elder Uncle beside him was also pleasantly surprised, unable to hold back an exclamation as he spoke.

Although the wisp of Primordial Qi within this phoenix egg was exceedingly faint, it was, after all, a being born of innate origins. Its future potential likely surpassed that of the vast majority of Mythical Immortal Seeds.

Eldrin nodded slightly and began to speak, "However, this Phoenix Egg has only just begun to restore its foundation. It will still require several more years before it can hatch."

The old clan leader nodded with a smile, stroking his beard as he said, "This was to be expected. So long as the Phoenix Egg can be successfully nurtured, what does it matter if we must wait a while longer?"

"Mm." Eldrin smiled faintly before continuing, "I intend to enter seclusion to comprehend the fifth secret force. I must trouble you, Elder Uncle, to oversee our affairs during this period."

After leaving the Flaming Prison of Blazing Fire, Eldrin returned to Spirit Isle Lake and immediately began his secluded cultivation.

This time, Eldrin devoted his secluded cultivation to organizing his final innate divine ability and comprehending the mysteries of Wood Attribute Power.

Thus time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, over a 100 years had passed. The day when the calamity of the Demonic Abyss would erupt drew ever closer.

That day, Eldrin was meditating on the Wood Source Divine Jade within his secluded cultivation chamber when he noticed Lyra entering the cavern abode.

Seeing him, Lyra (Person Name) asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's still a bit short."

Chen Nai shook his head at that moment, his eyes revealing a trace of solemnity.

Having cultivated to his current realm, he understood all too well how arduous it was to comprehend the fifth type of arcane force.

Eldrin's 4 secret forces were inherently domineering—each a supreme path capable of traversing the heavens alone, and thus naturally possessed formidable exclusivity.

Now, subjected to the simultaneous rejection and interference of 4 types of arcane power, comprehending the fifth had become exceedingly arduous.

To this day, he had contemplated for hundreds of years, yet he felt that fully comprehending the secret power of wood was still separated by the thinnest of veils.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) spoke up, "Your foundations are now sufficient, and your comprehension of the Wood Attribute Secret Force has reached considerable depth. I fear seclusion alone cannot guarantee your breakthrough."

"Perhaps you should seek movement in stillness, and a breakthrough may follow."

"Growing restless after prolonged seclusion?"

Eldrin fell into brief contemplation before rising to inquire, "Having been in seclusion for over a 100 years, how fares the current state of affairs within the Eastern Wastelands?"

"A great many things have happened."

Lyra nodded, then began recounting, "Over the past century, 7 individuals in the Eastern Wastelands have attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Among these 7 individuals, only Huantian Ji from the Eternal River Sanctuary and the Jade Balance Star Lord used Soul Elixir.

"That went rather smoothly for Huan Tianji, but the others still failed."

After listening, Eldrin (Person Name) could not help but reveal a tinge of emotion on his face.

Now in the Eastern Wastelands (Location), many understood that this calamity far surpassed any before. As the Abyssal Cataclysm drew near, numerous long-accumulated Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) experts began charging toward the Primordial Spirit realm.

In just the past 5 100 years alone, Eldrin had personally witnessed as many as 17 individuals attempting the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

In the past nearly 1 100 years, a full 7 individuals had attempted to breach the Nascent Soul realm. Among them, apart from Huantian Ji and the Lord of the Jade Balance Star, were numerous acquaintances of Eldrin.

For instance, the likes of Violetflame True Monarch, Palace Mistress Qingyao, Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name), Lord of the Primordial Barrens, and the Riverine Sage—these and many others.

Among them, the Purple Flame True Monarch had failed in his breakthrough attempts twice, while the Lord of the Celestial Barren Sect fell to a powerful enemy obstructing his path before he could even complete his ascension.

The Daoist of the 9 Rivers maintained close ties with the Chen Clan, with numerous supreme experts invited to guard his path. Yet, regrettably, his breakthrough still ended in failure. As for the Misty Jade Palace Lord, despite receiving support from Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), success remained beyond reach.

Upon careful tally, only Huantian Ji had successfully broken through among the group. The rest had either failed in their attempts, perished under external tribulations or inner demon tribulations, while 1 was struck dead by the heavenly thunder tribulation.

In truth, Eldrin had anticipated all along that these individuals would fail in their breakthroughs.

Chapter 1 Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) To assail the Primordial Spirit Realm without the aid of 1's Lifebound Pure Yang Spirit Treasure (Magic Treasure), secret energies, or a Primordial Spirit Pill (Elixir) meant facing exceedingly slim odds of success—less than 1 in 10 1000.

Among the crowd, apart from Eldrin and the Alkaid Star Lord, no 1 else possessed such treasures to aid them. Thus, their failure to break through was within expectations.

In contrast, the reason why figures like Maris the Sea Steader and the Dao Lord of Vast Radiance succeeded in their breakthroughs in the past was primarily due to the protection of their Natal Pure Yang Spirit Treasures, which naturally granted them a significantly higher chance of success.
