Chapter 881 : The Sacred Water's Hidden Cost

After discussing those two individuals, Thalion Chen spoke again, "Three months ago, Nine Rivers Daoist came to the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire [a perilous sea of eternal flames] seeking to borrow a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a treasure of supreme yang energy used to withstand heavenly tribulations] from our clan to face his tribulation."

"You were still in seclusion at the time, so I took it upon myself to lend him the Profound Sun Divine Pearl."

At this point, Thalion Chen sighed and said, "Over these years, our clan has produced several Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul, a spiritual infant]. Our clan's Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure have repeatedly endured tribulations, and several have suffered significant spiritual depletion, requiring Spirit-Awakening Sacred Water [a sacred liquid that can restore the spiritual essence of artifacts] to recover."

"I see." Eldrin Chen's eyes flickered with thought. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "The Long River Sacred Land [a blessed land renowned for its spiritual abundance] can naturally produce Spirit-Awakening Sacred Water. This matter can be resolved by you making a trip to see Haoyuan the Dao Lord."

"I am aware." Old Granduncle nodded slightly, yet a wry smile touched his lips. "However, the clan's reserves of Sixth Rank Spiritual Object [spiritual materials of the sixth rank, a high grade of cultivation resource] are insufficient, so the matter was temporarily set aside."

"How could that be?"

Eldrin Chen was somewhat taken aback. Over the years, the Chen Clan had participated in numerous Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a high level of power] level battles, each time securing some gains. Logically, acquiring some Spirit-Awakening Sacred Water should not have been beyond their means.

Seeing his expression, Thalion Chen smiled and shook his head. He then handed over a Treasure Box [a container for storing precious items] crafted from white jade.

"Take a look at this."

Accepting the Treasure Box, Eldrin Chen felt a slight tremor in his brow. He then opened it with utmost care. This chapter appears courtesy of www . audio-novel.com.

Within the Treasure Box lay five precious vials, each filled to the brim with a shimmering liquid.

The liquid seemed forged from lightning itself; upon closer inspection, it resembled a vast sea of thunder condensed into a potent essence, brimming with boundless power of the heavens. "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid [a rare spiritual essence refined from the condensed power of the five elemental heavenly tribulations]?"

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly as he recognized the origin of the Heavenly Tribulation Nectar contained within the vials.

The Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid was profoundly precious and mysterious, being one of the key Spiritual Object required for cultivating the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

Eldrin Chen had already obtained the most crucial component, the Heavenly Tribulation Jade Marrow. All he lacked was this Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid to advance the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to the Great Perfection Realm.

Yet, although the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid was only of Sixth Rank Low Grade, it consisted of five distinct Sixth Rank Spiritual Object. How exceedingly difficult was it to gather all of them simultaneously?

At this thought, a mixture of astonishment and joy surged within Eldrin Chen's heart. He could not help but speak, "To gather this Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid in merely a few decades... you have gone to great pains, Old Granduncle."

"Not quite so,"

Thalion Chen shook his head, yet a smile graced his features. "I knew long ago you wished to cultivate this Pure Yang Divine Thunder. For centuries, I have had people inquire about the whereabouts of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid."

"This time, I visited seven Dao Lord Sacred Land and managed to assemble it. It was hardly a blind search like a headless fly."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen could not help but smile faintly, then said, "Your foresight in preparing for the future, Old Granduncle, has truly saved me a great deal of effort."

Speaking of this, Eldrin Chen felt his excitement grow even more intense within his heart.

Now that all the crucial medicinal catalysts required to cultivate the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to its Great Perfection Realm were in hand, Eldrin Chen's confidence in mastering this <

With this thought, he did not linger any longer within the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire. He simply rose and declared, "In forty years' time, the moment to strike against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon will arrive."

"If I can cultivate the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to its flawless, consummate state before then, our chances of victory will increase tremendously. I should return and enter seclusion immediately."

Departing from the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire, Eldrin Chen returned to Spirit Lake Isle and began his closed-door cultivation, delving into the profound mysteries of the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

As a supreme Divine Ability of slaughter that, once mastered to the Great Vehicle stage, could rival true Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, comprehending the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder was naturally an endeavor of immense difficulty.

To cultivate it to the Great Perfection Realm required not only those six crucial medicinal catalysts but also exceptional talent and profound insight to fully comprehend this Divine Ability and reach that ultimate state of perfection.

Eldrin Chen's insight and talent were peerless, unprecedented in the annals of time. Yet, to fully comprehend it and reach that flawless, consummate realm within a mere few decades was still far too short a span.

Fortunately, he possessed a Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree. The Pure Yang Violet Marrow Divine Fruit borne from it possessed miraculous efficacy in aiding the comprehension of Divine Ability.

Eldrin Chen consumed it at that moment and entered a state of sudden enlightenment [a profound, spontaneous comprehension]. In an instant, his understanding of the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder began to deepen rapidly.

Within an exceedingly brief span of time, his thoughts expanded swiftly and without conscious effort, allowing him to completely master the Grand Five Elements Divine Ability.

"This is as far as I can go."

Suddenly, Eldrin Chen murmured, a trace of dawning realization coloring his expression.

At that very moment, he had fully comprehended the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to its mortal realm pinnacle, reaching a state where no further advancement was possible.

To progress any further would involve touching upon the legendary power of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality]. Read the full novel exclusively on audio-novel . com.

Legends say that to cultivate a true Immortal Rank Divine Abilities, one must thoroughly comprehend a specific Laws of the Dao. Only then can the divine ability transcend the mundane and attain the realm of Immortal Rank Divine Abilities.

Consider the Divine Ability used by the Extraterrestrial Demon God to tear open the Heavenly Scar, or the Lifebound Divine Ability 'Postnatal Azure Wood Divine Thunder' once wielded by the Yi Wood Azure Dragon. Both possessed such formidable power precisely because they were imbued with the force of the Laws of the Dao.

For Eldrin Chen's Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to advance to the Immortal Rank realm, the first requirement is to comprehend the power of the Five Elements Law [the cosmic law governing the five fundamental elements].

Faced with such immense difficulty, Eldrin Chen understood that his present myself was utterly incapable of this feat. Perhaps he would not achieve this step until after ascending to become an immortal.

With this thought, he ceased his contemplation and retrieved the Heavenly Tribulation Jade Marrow [a rare spiritual marrow refined from jade that has endured heavenly tribulation] and the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Liquid [a potent liquid essence containing the power of tribulation lightning infused with the five elements]. Using them as medicinal catalysts, he began cultivating the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique harmonizing the five elements with pure yang energy].

This single session of secluded cultivation consumed a full thirty-six years.

Then, on this day, a thunderous boom erupted from within the Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for deep, undisturbed cultivation]. Immediately after, a bolt of five-colored lightning pierced through the void, manifesting high above in the boundless firmament.

Before anyone could react, that streak of five-colored radiance vanished into the endless expanse of the void.

Simultaneously, the Nine Heavens Astral Winds [the fierce, chaotic winds that rage between the celestial realms] were torn asunder. A flash of thunder-light traversed an immeasurable distance of countless hundreds of millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], appearing in the void at a point impossibly far away.

When all finally settled, a figure robed in snow-white White Robe stood in serene stillness at the very edge of the endless sky.

"Five Elements Thunder Light Escape!"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, naming the second transformation derived from the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

After decades of arduous cultivation and the consumption of numerous precious catalysts, he had finally advanced the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle stage of mastery for a technique or art].

Upon reaching this stage, apart from a monumental increase in destructive power, the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder had also given birth to a new, profound variation.

This transformation is precisely the Five Elements Thunder Light Escape [a supreme movement technique that allows the user to transform into a bolt of five-elemental lightning].

This escape technique is, in essence, an alternate method of channeling the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique of pure yang energy harmonized with the five elements]. It allows Eldrin Chen to instantly transform into a streak of five-elemental thunder-light, piercing through the boundless void to appear in a distant part of the cosmos.

Its momentum is vast and immeasurable, its speed reaching the absolute pinnacle of the world. Even if it cannot be called the single greatest, it undoubtedly ranks among the most supreme of all Escape Art Divine Ability [divine abilities focused on movement and evasion].

Sensing the formidable power of the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique of pure yang energy harmonized with the five elements] now circulating within his own body, Eldrin Chen felt a sudden surge of confidence and allowed a faint smile to touch his lips.

Now that he had cultivated the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique of pure yang energy harmonized with the five elements] to the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle stage of mastery for any technique or art], his strength was nearly peerless under the heavens. Even if he might not yet rival a Ninth Layer Nascent Soul [a cultivator at the ninth and final layer of the Nascent Soul realm], he now possessed the means to suppress and slay even a Primordial Spirit, Late Stage [a cultivator in the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, a realm beyond Nascent Soul].

It was a pity his Mana [the spiritual energy or life force cultivated and wielded by practitioners] reserves were somewhat lacking. If he could break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage [the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit realm], his Mana [the spiritual energy or life force cultivated and wielded by practitioners] would increase by at least sixty to seventy percent. By then, he might even be qualified to face the supreme powerhouses of the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul [the ninth and final layer of the Nascent Soul realm] in battle.
